A clerical villain, named Rev. Viii.
liam Thomas, of the United States
Brethren Church, detected at Osceo.
10 in cohabiting with another mans
wife the other night, concluded that
the best thing he could do, under the
circumstances, was TO kill himself,
which he proceeded to do with NOR

The Osceola Democrat gives him
the following parting shot
The only moral suggested by the
melancholy occurrence, that wo have

menting upon the disastrous fire in

destruction to it's having go many
wooden buildings. The rapid growth
of the city has been attended with
the erection of very many frame

made from last ysars report. This,
together with the extreme drouth
and high winds, rendered the frame

1t is to be hoped that the Chicago

Frank Wilson and Justice Danoyer were
arrested last evening, charged with being
fugitives from justice.

HIGH UP m THE WORLD.-The eyes Of
many citizens were yesterday. directed
toward the lofty steeple of the Presbyterian
church ON Lafayette square. A painter,
hanging between sky and earth, looked like
an indifferent myth, 80 high above his fell
low-uAen. By some means stout rope had
been fastened to the very top of the steeple,
and ON this the painter seemed quite at his
ease. He was ON the topmost point at one
time, smoked his pipe contentedly, and
then tied . small white flag ON the light
ming rod. Having taken a survey of the
country, and probably regarding crevasses
- something beneath his notice, he pro-
ceeded with his labors, first brushing away
the dust of years, and then applying paint.
This II the first time any one ever assembled
to the top, - the upper portion .of the
steeple was constructed in shop and
hoisted into position by pulleys. This in
trepid painter vas closely watched by hun
dreds Of people, who stood in constant ex-
pectation of seeing him fall to earth mass
Of crushed flesh and bones; but he didn't
fall worth dime.

A bill has been introduced in the Texas
Senate providing for division Of the
State, and the erection of new State west
of the Colorado river. One of the Texas
Democratic papers, while not approving q
division, says that if the bill passes, as it
thinks it will, and goes to the people,
those of the north and east Of the State are
so decidedly in favor of division, and their
popular strength at the ballot-box is 60
great, that they will accept the division
with the boundaries submitted to them
rather than postpone the division to more
distant day.

The Houston correspondent of the Brazoa
Eagle writes:
In parenthesis. would remark that New
Orleans may continue to support and yield
to the demands of her pet monopolist, "old
Morgan" and delay the extension Of a rail,
road into Texas Just so long as she pleases.
1t will make no difference to the citizens OF
Houston or to the citizens of this State.
As soon as communication with St. Louis is
opened, Texas will have but little if any
interests in common with New Orleans.
The suicidal policy pursued by New Or.
leans in matters of transportation has
turned the attention of the people Of Texas
in other directions, and just as soon as rail.
road communication is opened the people
will fOllOw-their intentions.

The Clinton Democrat says:

A meeting of citizens was held on Monday
evening, at the rooms of DR.. Knapp, for the
purpose of consulting in regard to building
railroad. There was but one opinion ex
pressed, and that was we must, could, would
and should have railroad; and that the
railroad was the thing, first, last, and in the
middle. On comparing notes, the feasibility
of connecting'our town with the Mississippi
river by first-class line was SO manifest
that many of the old doubters took heart
and admitted that i. ght was breaking. We
have been waiting for the backbone. the
marrowbone, to build us road, and we
have waited in vain; now let us all 60 to
work and say we will build it, and the thing
is done. One hundred thousand dollars
raised by East Feliciana parish will give ue
railroad facilities. 1t will and can be done

Commercial Relations Of Shreveport.
On this subject the Shreveport Gazette
says:
We have, through our columns, advocated
sustaining the line of St. Louis packets, and
|. also Offering every inducement for the es-
tablishment of line Of packets with Gin
.cinnati. Our zeal in the advocacy Of these
measures has been miscOnstrued by some
of the merchants of New Orleans, and the
charge of hostility to that city has been
made.
We disclaim any wish or intention to
divert trade from New Orleans, but, on the
contrary, we desire 10 secure, by means of
railroads, q closer commercial union be-
tween the two cities. 1t is also charged that
the merchants and citizens of Shreveport
do not appreciate the advantages which
New Orleans offers to meet all the demands
of commerce.
In reply to these charges we assert that
we only desire commercial independence,
and that can only be attained by the
establishment and support of lines OF pack
cts plying between Shreveport and St.
Louis, Cincinnati and New Orleans. 1t is
the intention of our merchants to seek the
cheapest market, and, if possible, to place
the producer. and consumer in closer
proximity. If Western produce can be
UIOuSut uCEO W1GuOuC UAC0AAAH yum -
being subjected to extra charges for
storage, drayage and reshipment, it is our
privilege to avail ourselves of the facilities
Of water Communication. In following the
dictates of selfinterest, aud acting in strict
accordance with the laws of trade, our mo-
tives should not be impugno
The effort which New Orleans is now
making to hold her Red river trade and to
recover what she has lost, is cOmmendable,
and if she can offer sufficient inducement
to her former customers they will gladly re-
turn.
Our merchants must not resign their in
terests into the hands of others, nor allow
monopolies to dictate terms. Active COM
petition must be fostered, and the packet
lines to the northwest must be sustained
for self-protection. We must not be de-
PENDENT upon any city or line of packets,
but should so divide our patronage as to
sustain all, and thus insure cheap goods and
reasonable freigkts. The donation Of five
hundred thousand dollars to the Shreveport
branch Of the Baton Rouge road is a suffi.
Gent evidence Of our desire to trade with
New Orleans. Let her citizens exhibit q
corresponding interest in the Red river
| trade
