THE PEDEsTRIAN--Shortly after
nine o'clock on Friday morning, Ed
ward Payso Weston, the young man
who left Boston on Friday last for
Washington-the journey to be per
formed all the way on foot-arrived
at the American Hotel, Trenton, and
took breakfast. His arrival was soon
noised Throughout the city, and crowd
collected to get sight at him. He
looked very much exhausted, and has
evidently taken a wholesome disgust
to his foolish wager. He is quite
young man, being about % years OF
age, AID is a native of Providence r.
l. The walking has already produc-
ed terrible 1egree Of stiffness in his
lower limbs, and to add to his misfor-
tunes he suffered a sprain in the right
ankle Since the start from Boston
on Washington's birthday, he has
walked three hundred and thirty miles,
eighteen of which were through mud
and snow almost ankle deep. He ex-
poets to be in Washington on Sunday
evening next The distance between
Boston and Washington is four humid
red and seventy miles. He renewed

The Inauguration.

Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated
President of the United States, on
Monday last.
The various rumors concerning the
difficulties that would arise on this oc-
casion, have turned out to be all moon
shine, as everything passed off in a
quiet manner.
The Inaugural Address of Mr.. Lin
coin we learn has produced a favora-
BILE impression, and we are rejoiced to
hear that the faithful representatives
of the Southern Union sentiment, at
Washington, are also gratifed with
its tone.
Mr.. Lincoln assumes the high duties
of the Presidency at a time when un-
precedented and peculiar embarress-
ments and difficulties aSsail him on
every side. And those who are sim
cerely anxious for the welfare of the
country will not be unwilling to grant
him fair hearing, and to support him
in all proper measures which are neces-
sary to prevent the destruction of the
Government.
In his remarks in reference to the
character of our institutions and the
imposSibility of legal secession without
the consent of all the States, he only
reiteFates, in forcible terms, the views
which have been repeatedly expressed
by all the great statesmen of our coun-
try, that it was his duty to enforce the
laws in all quarters of the Confederacy
as far as he was enabled and empow-
cred to do so by Congress and the
Constitution; and Mr.. Lincoln could
not, without violating his official oath,
do less.
But while he thus Allows his de.
sire to faithfully discharge all the du-
ties which the American people have
imposed upon him, he makes an ear
nest effort to remove the apprehension
of danger from his Administration
which have been excited among large
portion of the people of the slave
States; and it would have been diff :
cult for any one occupying his position
to have given them more ample assn.
RANGES of determination to treat the
South as fairly and justly as the
North.
We will publish his address next
week, it having been received too late
for this issue Of our paper.

From Washington
WASHINGTON, March l


Immense crowds of ciizens and
strangers from all parts of the country
who are here to participate in the in
auguration, are in attendance in Con-
gress this afternoon
The Senate has crowd, both on
the floor and in the galleries, which is
beyond all precedent or description.
The report of the Committee of Con-
ference on the Peace Propositions is
up, and an intense excitement prevails
in reference to the action of the Sem
ate.
A careful canvass leads to the belief
that it will be impossible to muster the
requisite two-thirds to put the report
through.
The pressure on the President elect
to induce hun to give his Influence in
favor of the report is very great He
is also beset by Office seekers and their
friends to a fearful extent.
The Chase men are exultant over
his selection as membey of the Cabi-
net.
/ learn that Mr.. Lincoln was much
occupied during the morning with the
drafts of his inaugural Address.
Gov Hicks, of Maryland, is one
among the innumerable throng of infu-
entail people here. He has protested
against the appointment of Chase, as
being 80 ultra move that it will drive
Maryland into the open arms of the
secessionists
The Hon. Henry Winter Davis is
considered here as having received an
invitation % get into the Cabinet, be-
yond doubt or cavil. He has attend
ed select dinner party, at which Mr..
Lincoln was chief guest.
Amusing and animated scenes are
going on in the lobbies to-day. Anx-
ious Office seekers are everywhere but
ton-holing Senators and Representa-
tives, and trying to find out what are
their chances.
The Southern Senators appear to
be endeavoring to kill the Conference
report, by their action this afternoon.

A DEER CAUGHT BY LOCOMOTIVE.
The Wheeling Intelligencer says,
that as the train Of cars on the Central
Ohio Railroad, was nearing the Glen
coe station, about twelve miles from
Wheeling, large doe sprang out
from hollow on the track. The en-
gineer, seeing the deer, put on little
more steam, and the locomotive and
the deer had il nip and tuck for about
half mile. The iron horse gained
gradually, though the deer ran as no
deer ever ran before, making leaps Of
surprising length Upon entering the
deep cut near Glencoe, the engineer
saw that he must capture the animal
before it reached the other end, or the
game was gone so, accelerating the
speed Of the locomotive, it overt ook
and brought down the deer just as it
was leaving the track The train ran
by considerable distance, and, upon
going back, the men discovered that
the deer was still living, having sus-
tanned no damage beyond a couple of
broken legs. 1t was brought down
to Bellaire, slaughtered, dressed and
taken to Columbus to serve as q
Christmas feast.

During the celebration Of Washing

During the celebration of Washing
toms birth Cay, at Easton, by the
military, some of them became excited
rushed at one another iercely, and
the officers with difficulty restrained
them from giving really bloody turn
to matters Several swords were bro
ken in the fight, and from twelve to
fifteen OF the men received bayonet
wounds about the arms, ears, hands,
and faces before the companies could
be separated. Finally quiet and good
feeling were. restored when all who
engaged in the affair declared that
they were actuated by no i'll feeling or
anything of the kind, but that they be-
came excited aud completely lost all
control ovar themselves.
An ardent admirer of the President
elect, from our town, visited Trenton
on Thursday last, and sale he was de-
termined to shake hands with Mr..
Lincoln. After Mr.. L. had started
from the depot, our young townsman
rushed to the carriage in which the
President elect was seated, and ex-
tending his hands said +" / wish to
shake hands with you SIR" The Pres
ident ell ct replied, "My young friend.
If shake hands with you. | must do
the same to Others" /" No matter
about that, I'm bound to shake hands
with you"-and shake hands he did
with Mr.. Lincoln. He then retired
in Jury, evidently gratilied with the
honor, but not without getting a re-
ceipt in full of mud upon his clothing
from his shoulders down which was
splashed upon him by the immense
crowd, for be it remembered the mud
in the street was some three or four
inches deep.-M. Holly Courier
A young lady, resident of Jersey
City, paid visit to the Central Park
skating pond on the last occasion but
one that the amusement was allowed.
She had on at that time light gaiter
boots, and after skating for about an
hour she fonnd her feet becoming SO
painfully cold that she had to leave of
and return home. A young man who
was in her company during the visit,
on arriving at her dwelling, finding
her feet to have been frozen, foolishly
told her to put them in hot water,
which she did, with sad result, fol-
shortly after modification set in, caus-
ed first the loss of her feet, and next
that of her life, as death resulted with
in eight days. Skaters and others
finding their feet or hands frozen
should rub them with snow, if procur-
able, or water as icy cold as possible.
Ladies' woald also find that if they
bathed their feet in ice cold water
before they left the house for the skat-
ing pond, they would scarcely get
them chilled at all.

brief expression of good wishes for fu-
ture health and prosperity, concluded
the ceremonies.

OXygenated RitterS.

A Query. Why will you suffer? DYSPEPSIA is
brief but a comprehensive term for the numer-
GUS diseases which affect the stomach, liver, and
in fact the whole human system. Until DIR.
Green discovered the Oxygenated Bitters, med
ical science was at fault and had exhausted itself
in fruitless efforts to cure this disease. The
Dyspeptic need suffer no longer with disease
that is always painful, and frequently fatal af-
Fiction.
This unique and peculiar compound will as
certainly cure the disease as the disease exists.
Had it not this power, such testimony as follows
would not have been given in its favor:
