Edward Bates.
This gentleman is beginning to be fire.
quently referred to as candidate Of the
RcpuLlico- American party for the Prcsi-
dency. We distinguish the name Of the
peculiar party thus, because the intensely
Republican or New England one-idea-men
do not like Mr.. Bates sentiment on the
Fugitive Slave Law, nor will that portion of
the party in the West dare to indorse his
known American" ideas, and his support
of Mr.. Fillmore. The Dubuque Times We
see does not favor Mr.. Bates. We have
read in the st. Louis Neus what purports
to be an authoritative statement Of the opin
ions of this distinguished man, and no ma
tional man can find much to complain of ir
it. If the "Opposition" have any show fol
success, we wish the country may b.
fortunate enough to secure his talents ant
his patriotism. His liberality, however
will stand a poor show in Republican
| Convention.

TURKEYs.-To-morrow CATH is Thanks
giving Day, and our fellow-citizens are get
ting ready to demolish all the eatables which
the good wives and daughters can find
plates for AS a nation we have great rea-
son to be thankful, and though Gov. Lowe
of Iowa, did say some silly things in his
Proclamation, we presume the Turkeys and
Champagne will taste just as well on to-
morrow, as if his spiritualistic Excellency
had worded his appointment Of the day in
less rigmarolic style. Let us "eat, drink
and be merry" during the day, and dance
all night if we can have an opportunity.

SIMPLE CURE FOR CRoUP-We find in
the Journal Of Health, the following simple
remedy for this dangerous disease. Those
who have passed nights of great agony al
the bedside Of loved children, will treasure
it up as valuable piece of information:
Ii child is taken with Group, apply cold
water-ice water if possible-suddenly and
freely to the neck and chest with sponge
The breathings will instantly be relieved
Soon as possible, let the sufferer drink a
much as it can; then wipe it dry; cover il
up warm, and soon quiet slumber will re
lieve the parents anxiety, and lead the hear
in thankfulness to the Power which has
given to the pure gushing fountain suct
medical qualities.

THE RAILRoAD.-Thc people Of the coun
ties west Of US, must not content them
selves with scolding McGregor for not agon-
izing more in relation to tho carly compile
ton of the Railroad. 1t is vastly more
important to their interests to see the work
going on, than it is to this city. McGrc-
gor, when the proper time arrives, will
shear hand and assist, but the property
holders Of Fayette, Chickasaw, Howard and
Floyd, can easily see that they are to be the
most enriched by this work, and it is as
we'll to tell them the truth and wake them
up. This city would not die if an iron
horse never was stabbed nearer to it than
Prairie du Chen. .. ...

L!/e otter Bmrini.-A singular occur
renee, says tho Albany Knick.Lockcr, Of
the eth, was discovered in n vault attached
to one of our burial grounds, on Sunday
last. II WAS that Of female, who w:.s de-
posted therein for dead some two months
since, being found, on opening the coffin,
to be lying on her sidc, with O Q hand I'M
der her head. From this, it was evident
that tho woman was alive when placed
there, and awakening from the trance into
which she had fallen, endcavorcd to cxtri-
cate herself from her cntombment. This,
of course, was an i,npossibliLy the cover
was not only screwed down tightly, but the
space was tooeGontracted to allow of even
IN effort. 1t was evident, however, that
the unfortunate became convinced Of this
fact, and concluded 10 die. She therefore
took the easy posture in which she was
found, and broathed her last. The thought
that4they had buried her while yet alive,
set hei friends almost crazed. The father
and mother Of tic deceased had just ar.
rived FROM the old country last week, and
were u ought to the vault To SEQ their child.
Ihc scene Is olated as hcarLrendpg.

My friend, DIR. Higgins, recently State
chemist Of this State, recommended small

which not only cured those that were af-
fected, hut, upon tho slightest appearance,
