the most disheartening circum

our pains may serve to show
how much ue feel indebted for

our journal. Obs

Lafainttr. The Boston Pa-
j triot says: We are sorry to hear
i hat Lafayette has lost his in
;iiuence Willi the Government,
j and has retired to La Grange
i for the summer. It augurs ill
o
for France, that his pure pa-
' triotism should not be acKnow
ledged as sterling com at
court of Louis Philippe.
the
Riot. A serious riot recent
occurred among the work-
men on a division of the Balti
more Rail Road. 1 he rioters
broke uo the rails, an'' commit
ted other acts ot disorder and
outrage The cause assigned
is the misconduct of one of the
agents who had withheld their
waes. About. fifty were ar-
rested and carried before the
nroner authorities some
of
r i
ilinm ivnro finnllv disrlinrrrnd
others discharged on their own
recognizance, and thirteen of
the ringleaders were kept hi
custody, to await their trial.
Singular Calculation. X
student of the Virginia' Univer
sity, lately made a calculation,
founded on data derived from
the most accurate tables of
mortality, that the chances were
more than 172 millions to one,
that Jefferson and Adams would
not both die on the day upon
which they actually expired.
Hydrophobia. tiociors Hall
and Lawrence, of New-York,
state that they cured Mr. Fal
sen, who resides in Cherry
street, of hydrophobia, who was
bitten on the 14th ult. Their
cure was very large doses of
calomel and laudanum.
Croup. A French physician
professes to have discovered a
certain cure for the Croup,
which consists simply in blow
ing finely powdered alum into
the throat, by means of an in
strument. In most cases, three
applications arc only necessary,
but in some five or six are re
quired. None who have seen
children suffering from the in
fliction of this terrible com
plaint, but must rejoice at the
probability of a certain and easy
attainable mode of cure.
Revival among the Baptists.
The Richmond Compiler says:
Un feunday, tnc 20th ult. there
were 3G persons baptized by
the Baptist ministers of which
21 were whites. Yostnrdnv.
there were 64 initiated into tho
church, of whom the Rev. James
B. Taylor baptized 30, and tho
Rev. John Kerr 34. "Total
number baptized during the
present revival: The Rev. John
Kerr has baptized 224 in all
127 whites. Rev. James B.
Tavlor, 56 in all."
Suicide. Mrs. Laura Hol-
comb, wife of Mr. Lorrey Hol-
comb, committed suicide, by
hanging herself, in Jferu, N. I.
on Wednesday of last week.
Ihc verdict ot the uiry stated
that "mental derangement, cau
sed by religious excitement"
was the cause of the act. Vc
understand that she was a wo
man who had always borne the
most reputable character, and
that this act has occasioned
deep regret among her friends.
Fatal Rencontre. A Mont
gomery (Alabama) paper of thc
20th ult. says: On la3t evening
a sudden contact took place be
tween Dr. James 15. CIoton
and Robert Foster, both of thiB
place, which terminated in the
death of the latter.
Indian War. An extra of
the Illinois Advocate, dated June
25th, contains a letter from a
correspondent, which mentions
that the troops raised by order
of the Governor to remove thc
party of Sac and Fox Indians
at Rock Island, on the Illinois
frontier, set out on their expe
dition on the 20th. The troops
raised for this purpose are up
wards of 1500 in nnmber, and
are headed by Governor Rey
nolds in person. The Indians
are reported to" be crmnird in
cultivating the soil they have
I previously occupied.
