- The Prairie du Chen Union has an
account of a murder which was committed
IN McGregor on Sunday the 29th ult. The
murdered man was a trappcr, who lived
near the city. He had sold few furs and
was returning home, when he was attacked
by ruffian, who broke his head with a
stone, robbed him, and threw him into
the river. He crawled to shore, and when
found was not quite dead. A person has
been arrested who is supposed to be the
murderer. The Union says he is one of a
gang of ruffians who have infested that
vicinity for some months.

~ The Prairie du Chen Union reports
that the river at that place on Monday OF
last week was higher than it has been for
six years. The water reached Main street
in many places, covered the whole embank-
ment between town and the station, and
almost entirely submerged the island on
which are all the railroad buildings. The
dwellings, barns and hotels in tina. part of
town are nearly all standing in from one to
three feet of water, while all the streets are
navigated by skiffs, giving that locality
quite Ventian air.

The HUDsoS RIvER.-The Albany Knick-
erbocker says that the business of the Hud-
son river is several millions year greater
than ever received by the Mississippi and
its tributaries This assertion may seem
greatly magnifed, but nevertheless, it is a
fact. The Hudson, like the mouth of the
Mississippi, is an outlet for that great chain
of Mediterranean lakes, which stretches
from Lake Ontairo to Lake Superior.

For HOUSE CLEANERs.-As the season
for general spring cleaning is at hand,
the following receipt for making wash
for fences, outhuldings, &C., taken from
the Chemical Gazette may be serviceable !:
Take clean, water-tight barrel or other
suitable cask, and put into it half bushel
of lime. Slack it by pouring boiling water
over it, and in sufficient quantity to cover
five inches deep, stirring it till thoroughly
slackened. When Stacking has been eff
fected, dissolve in water, and add two
pounds of sulphate Of zinc and one of COM
mon salt. These will cause the wash to
harden, and prevent it cracking, which
gives an unseemly appearance to the work.
If desirable, beautiful cream color may
| be communicated TO the above wash, by
adding three pounds of yellow ochre, or a
good pearl or lead color, by the addition of
lamp black or ivory black. For fawn COL
| or, add four pounds of umber- Turkish or
American (the latter is the cheaper
one pound of Indian red, and one pound
of lamp black. This wash may be applied
with common whitewash brush, and will
be found much superior, both in appear
ance and durability to common whtewash.

PERsECUTIoN.-A bachelor in Albany
has about one baby month left at his
door, accompanied with the request that
he will 'charitably provide for it and bring
it up righteously" An occasional baby
in the regular honest way is undoubtedly
a desirable present, but an attack of in
fantry by platoons, upon poor unprotect-
ed bachelor, must be appalling to the last
degree.

s-Wc learn from hop raisers in Sank
county, that large proportion of the hop
roots have been winter killed. In some
yards nearly every hill is dead, while in
others they seem to be uninjured. In
Juneau and other northern counties in

better. Hops appear to thrive best on a

this title, Mr.. Newman, late of the Advertiser,
sets himself right with his party friends through
the columns of the Argus. "It is particularly
to be noticed" Mr.. Newman says, shat when
any conspicuous Democrat gets ready to
turn traitor and leave the party, it meets with
sudden mortality" The logic ofthe article APP
pears to be that the Democratic party never
died in the whole course of its history, and
therefore never will. h- M
