OT. LOUIS, December 10,
e weather continued delightful up to Saturday
mo slog, when a cold, heavy rain began to fall, and
con nued throughout the day. In the evening it
ce. -d raining, and a most vident wind net in; it
was terrific, indeed; I think I never saw such a wind
store before—one that lasted so long and raged so
der•ely. All Saturday night and yesterday it blew
a perfect hurricane, and miraculous, as it may seem,
no onsiderablo damage was done, other than the
up . sting of small shade trees, the carrying away of
any sings and sign-boards, and disarrangement of
ncys and water-spouts. During the midst of
storm, to make the night still more terrible, the
ala ss of fire was raised, but, fortunately for the city,
it 'roved to be false. Thus far I have heard of no
other injury being done than what is above alluded

On the 3d inst., the magnificent steamers May
1 lower and Geo. Collier were consumed by fire at
he Memphiswharf. The May Flower was the tar
test, most splendid and costly steamer on the West
eria waters, and was engaged in the cotton trade be
tween Memphis and New Orleans for. the winter
• .eason. She was owned by the Keokuk Packet
Company and Capt. Joseph Brown, her commander.
Her cost is something over sloo,oooinsured for
about $50,000. The Collier was also a fine boat,
valued in the neighborhood of $60,000, and is sup
posed to be uninsured. The whole loss is estimated
at $250,000. Between 15,and 25 lifts were lost on
the above named boats, but as the boat's register,
books, Ic., were destroyed, it is unknown who the
sufferers were—many were picked up in the river—
some lifeless and others nearly so. Five or six were
taken out of the flames blackened and charred.
The steamer Sallie Spann was burnt, in Bigbee
river, about a week or ten days since, with over 1000
bales of cotton. Her value is not reported. Two
lives were lost—one by drowning and the other per
ished in the flames.
The steamboat James Paul sunk in the Wabash
river on Saturday last. She was freighted with floor,
most of which, however, will be saved in a damaged
condition.
On Monday night last, a public meeting was call
ed, at the instance of the Intelligencer, to pronounce
a terrific amount of indignation at the "monstrous
and high-handed outrage" of the Legislature passing
a bill increasing the salary of some of our important
county officers; for as they now are, a good man can
not be found to fill them, whilst incompetent men
render them worse than none at all. About 75 "in
dignant" men, like the editor of the Intelligencer,
convened and passed, with much confusion and dis
order, a string of resolves, which amount, in sub
stance, to nothing—only that the County Judge—
the same Judge that took Messrs. Page 1 Bacon
down a peg—should not have his salary. increased !
There is where the "indignation" was aimed. The
whole thing was a miserable failure.
A large number of our citizens have recently had
nets of emancipation recorded, taking hdvantage of
the law just passed by the Legislature, embracing a
clause prohibiting emancipation,—beforo the law
shall go into effect.
We are still in daily receipt of news from Kansas.
Nothing of any moment has transpired.. Nine-tenths
of the reports sent East, by telegraph, are base fab-
Hendon's, and calculated to create an excitement
throughout the country. Some difficulty, it is true,
seems to exist among the Free State men and the
Pro-Slavery advocates, and the "Border" Ruffians"
are endeavoring to kick up a great ado for sinister
motives.
801120 sixty Squatter houses are said to have been
barned, and that the "Abolitionists" are amusing
themselves shooting down the cattle belonging to
Pro-Slavery men. This, however, is believed to be
a fabrication, gotten up by the "iuffians" to create
an excitement, and give cause for a civil war. No
houses have been burned, as previously reported, and
sent at lightning speed to the North and East by ir
responsible men. The "one thousand men" said to
be' 'armed to the teeth," at Lawrence' are quietly
pursuing thsir

A DESPERATE VILLA IN.—The St. Louis
Democrat records the case of one Win. F.
Morgan in that city, a young lawyer, who
was arrested for stealing, and against whom
some of the fullest and most heinous crimes
known to the law are made. Among them
that he forged and procured the record of a
decd for a piece of property belonging to an
old mulatto woman of that city, and that some
time ago he employed two men to take the
life of this woman, so that there could lie no
difficulty in establishing his claim to her prop•
erty. The woman states that two men did
come to her house, one a red and the other a
black-haired man, and after trying to drug her
with heanily and wine, hit her a terrible blow
on the side of the head with a stone and left
her for ,lead.
THE appear
to be diminishing, in proportion tie the fog
clears up. The killing of Dow by Coleman,
although a sad event, and probably a very un
justifiable one. would have attracted compar
atively little notice had it occurred in any
other f the new settlements. It was the re
sult of one of those disputes about claims,
which frequently arise between frontier set
tlers, and had no connection with polities, ex
cept as it furnished an occasion for the prac
tical development of the purpose of the free
state men to ignore and resist the authority
and laws of the recent legislature of Kansas.
As however they profess allegiance to the gov
ernor (Shannon) and other officers appointed
by the United States government, the proba
bility is. that the necessary arrests will lie
made under the immediate direction of these
officers, and that thus a collision will be avoid

BitgAnsrurrs.--Speaking of the prevailing
high prices of breadstuffs and the immense
supplies for exportation which the country is
capable of affording, the Buffalo Courier re
marks :
"There is hardly any limit to our surplus
of wheat and corn, and if the demand abroad
should carry of 110,000,0 M bushels, which is
almost four times as much as we have ever
exported in one year, there would still lie an
abundant supply for home consumption.—
Strange as it may seem, that with a large sur
plus on hand, fully equal to supply the demand
trom:abroad, prices should rule so high. It is,
nevertheless. in obedience to a law of trade,
which makes a sudden impulse push the mar
ket values beyond a due limit, as well as to
another law of trade which makes a derange
ment in the ordinary channels of supply pro
duce, for a tints, all the otrtsequences of an
actual scarcity."
lii Paircs : —The Editor of the Allen
town Denocrat remarks---" The barns of our
farmers are almost breaking down under the
weight of grains. Their corn-cribs are full to
overflowing, and their cellars, &c., are cram
med fullof Potatoes. Can any one tell us why,
under this state of afairs, we are compelled to
pay from ten' to eleven dollars a barrel fur
flout; seventy-five to eighty e per bushel
for corn, fifty to sixty cents a bushel for pota
toes? We pause for a reply." In reply to
this etniulry, we would remark, that the mid
dle-men, acting as brokers between producer
and consumer, are making fortunes by con
trolling the markets, and that they control the
farming interest so far as to keep up the high
speculative price:4li the of no usuallyheavy
crops.

IMPORTS or Pic LE.th.—The imports of pig
lead this year have fallen off. It appears
from the circular of a New York firm,
that up to the 30th of November, the're have
been received only 260,399 pigs, against 352,-
678 in the same period of 1854. The great
falling of is from Antwerp, Spain and Ham
burg. The quantity received coastwise of

rhe 'Human Hair.—To minister to a penchant
for "auburn waves" and "raven tresses," the brains of
Inventors have heretofore been called in requisition to lit
tle purpose; for although mauy oils, balms ' dyes, and
••,pevillcs - have been the result of the incubation, they
have nut only proved to be valueless, but many of them
positively injurious to the hair and scalp—being the inci
pient of scald-head and various other painful and danger
ous cutaneous disorders.
Upon Prof. 0. J. Wood, of at. Louie, fortune has confer
red the honor of having discovered a balsamic preparation,
which not only promotes the growth and beautifies the
Hair In a high degree, but restores It when it is gone, or
turns it bock to its original color after it has become gray,
Fastens It to the scalp, and effectually destroys. such cute,-
neous eruptions as may have been engendered by the use
of, dyes, essential oils, and other injurious applications.—
The many respectable testimonials which are offered in Its
favor, from every part of the country in which It has been
introduced, leaves no loop for the sceptic to hang a doubt
on. The great demand for this article in the eastern States,
has induced the proprietors to establish a depot for its
manufacture and sale In the city of New York. It Is fast

TIIDGWAY FARM AND AGRICUL TV
-IA,RAL COIIPANY.—A Farm within the reach of every
Man. Pennsylvania Land. Twenty-seven thousand
acres of good land have deep purchased, with the inten
tion of giving a Farm of twenty-fivelteres for each shire,
payable by instalments of one dollae:a week.
It is located in the county of Elk, where a junction will
soon be formed by four railroads, immediately connecting
it, with its great agricultural and coal reosurces, with Erie,
Dunkirk, Buffalo. Rochester and all the cities on tha Lakes.
Also a road leading directly to S. York, one directly from
this property to Philadelphia and intermediate places. one
directly from this property to Pittsburg, and one directly
from this property connecting with the Western roads,
forming the grandest concentration of railroads upon any
one spot in Pennsylvania. tending at sure to develop its
immenseagricultumi and coal resources. The soil fs not
surpassed in richness by any is the Plato. It is divi
ded—
I.—lnto farms or shares of twenty-live Acrer, at the
price of two-hundred dollars. whleh is payable in instal
ments of one dollar per week.
Il.—lnto farms or half shares of twelve and a half acres,
at the price of $lOO payable, in instalments of two dollars
a month or by the week.
Besides this, there is a valuable saw mill upon the prop
erty, and one hundred and fifty lots in the thriving town
of St. Mary's. which the subscribers get.
This originally formed part of a largo tract, a great por-
lion of which was settled by industrious and educated
Germans, numbering some twenty-five hundred. They se
lected the land un account of Its agricultural and mineral
wealth, which alone is nu indisputable evidence of the
facts, no they are well {mown to be superior:judges upon
these subjects. They went there some twelve years ago,
and they now have a thriving and beautiful settlement,
which is laid off in regular rotations of fine farms. St.
Mary's is the town of the settlement, and Is rapidly In
creasing In population. It has hotels no good as any in
the state—line stores—a college, where the highest branch
es of education are taught, both literary and musical—Saw
mills, grist mills, coach manufactories, and every thing
conceivable to add wealth and prosperity to the place.— •
The land of the company surrounds this town, and all the
improvements, thereby reaping this benefits, and present
ing a splendid opportunity for settlement. Limestone
abounds. This Is both an evidence of the quality of the
soil and a goat fertilizer. At St. Mary's it sells at from
ten to twelve cents a bushel, burnt.
The timber is of great value, and consists of Cherry, Ash,
Chesnut, Pine, Oak and Hemlock, all of primeval growth,
of great size, and towering from eighty to a hundred and
twenty feet high. That which the stockholders do not
want will be sold to the timber merchants, with conditions
to cut It in a certain time. This will clear the land, and
bring a large revenue into the treasury, which will go to
the reduction of the price of the farms.
This explains its agricultural resources. But there is
another consideration of equal, if not greater, importance.
The land in one great bed of coal. Upon this property it Is
literally inexhaustible. By taking a glance at the latest
map, first at this locality, and then over the State, It will
be found to possess the grandest feature of prosperity, im
provement, and almost Immediate development. It Is su
perior to any other. It is the only place having the great
concentration of railroads, by which Now York, the Lakes,
Philadelphia and Pittsburg are at Its doors. There is no
coal in New York, and on account of its northeruly situa•
lion, it possesses the advantages of nearness. This is des
tined to become the Pottsville of that portion of the State.
The prospect in the future for this place exceeds any that
Pottsville ever had; and there, land which a few years ago
was selling at five and ten dollars an !sera. when the rail
road opened its mines sold for from two to the hundred
dollars an acre. These are facts. Those who are Ignorant,
let then, make inquiry. Improvement in still progressing.
So arrive at the truth. Judge the future by the past, and
then what will this land bet It is proper that reason
should give the answer.
The Sunbury and Erie Railroad, of which Gov. Bigler
is President, and which connects this land with the Lakes
sod Philadelphia, and the Allegheny Valley Railroad, of
which Gov. Johnson is President connecting this land
with Pittsbnrg, are in rapid course of completion, and up
on a great exteut the locomotives are running. The reflec
tions which suggest themselves upon this subject are
these—lt takes two hundred weeks to pay for the farms.
They will be distributed when they are half paid for. By
that time the railroads will be finished. That will be
early enough for all practical purposes. The advantage
of buying it before their completion Is evident. When
that is done property will go up one hundred per cent.—
Specnintion to coal would at once run it up to such a
price as would make It impossible to obtain for agricultur
al purposes. We now get it without paying the then
proved price, and the stockholders will enjoy the rise.
A tract of about two thousand acres will be laid otT at
once, and ready by next Spring. to order that persons who
wish to farm immediately can do so.
Friends and relatives, as well as those having more than
one share can hay, their farms together.
An Improvement department will also be connected
with the company. By this means;in order to accommo
date those who are unable to give their personal attention
to fencing or preparation, or desire to regilheir properties
out instead of residing there, arrangemedWcan be made to
place each farm In complete order, so as to be ready for
culthation. After the farms have been all sold, stock
holders can have manure furnished, houses built, and
other work done upon credit, they securing the payment
to the company wit !tin a reasenable time, so that a man in
the first ptmen rectal - , a farm at the lowest possible price,
aml then is afforded every assistance in placing it under
cc ups.
The,: embrace the principal feature., and an excellent
opportunity is now offeren fir a man to obtain a home for
himself. his wife and children. either at the present or
time to come. Many - business men, Mechanise, and work
ingmen upon farms, who save several dollars a month. can,
by thus uniting together, be.,lne freeholders, aghast they
scareely miss the outlay, and at less expense theta the
annual cost of tobacco or the most trilling luxuries. 'A
savior end purchase of this kind eat nothing, and con
stantly increase in value. In case of sickness or misfor
tune by which he is thrown out of employment, he has a
Immo to go to, where he can always make a good living.—
The title is unexceptionably good—one of the oldest In
the State, being the Holland Title. Those who desire
farms, will please address, personallv or by letter (enclosing

THE WIDOW BEDOTT AND TILE SM . I.
A LING PUBLIC.—Now ready, the second edition of
THE WIDOW BEDOTT PAPERS.
The most, staid and conservative editors cannot keep
their faces straight.
Bays the New York Observer :—A volume more full of
genuine humor and irresistable Yankee character has not
yet been published—not even excepting the experiences
of the renowned "Sam Slick." We would not speak thus
highly of a work of mere humor, but these papers contain
most admirable satires upon many of the vices and follies
that infest religious societies, and therefore are the more
free; to commend the book.
' The Portland Transcript says:—The Widow Bedott Is
undoubtedly one of the most amusing characters in mod
ern; literature, and this collection of her papers cannot
fail U set the public upon the broad grin.
The New York Evening Post says :—tier. Mr. Sniffles
abroad, in which a literary soiree is described. is better
done than the account of the literary party of Mrs. Leo
Hunter in the Pickwick Papers. .
The Boston Evening Gazette says :— We have enjoyed
thebook most heartily, for it provokes langhter from the
conimencement to the-flats, and we purpose to give our
readers a few extracts from a volume which contains hard
er hits at the soft side of human nature than any volume
published of late years.
The Portland Argus says:—it contains the very cream
of lun—genuine fun— and if anybody can read these
sketches without hearty laughter, we can only pity him.
HIS case is hopeless. The book is warranted a sure cure
for I M
il
elds and degrees of hype, and is worth six times
its rice.
T e Boston:Olive Branch say.:—This book is cue that
will keep all eyes awake. Its author was a gifted crea
ture, the wife of a clergyman, and, is now, alas, dead.—
Hers were the keenest powers of satire—her drollery is in
imitable. The preface is delightfully written by Alice
B. Nell.
The New Voris Evangelist says :—A hook of genuine
humor, and well directed, successful sarcasm. The foi
bles of female character, the ugliness and absurdity of en-
Ty,: detraction and matchmaking, and other , prondnent
sin*, are hit with great point and shrewdness.
The New York Commercial Advertiser says:—The Wid
ow lEedott is a rival to Sam Slic,k,,and in some respects is
much the most ludicrous and mirth provoking of the two.
She blonde the medium of the most humorous sketches
of Yankee character, which it is impossible to, read with
out, laughing immoderately.
The publisher takes the liberty of iuseoting the follow
ink. On page 31 of the book the Widow writes as f6l
- ,--
never change my single lot—
I think 'twould be a sin—
The Inconsolable widow of Deacon Bedott
Dun't intend to git marriee, agin.
Aut after her capture of Elder Sniffles, she ludltes the
following lines to him :
Prissilla the fair, and Shadrac the wise,
Have united their fortunes in the tenderest Of ties,
And being mutually Joined in the matrimonial cont!.
Doti,
Have bid adoo to their previous affliction.
The rest of the poem the reader will find on pago 190 of
the book, which can be found at all bookstores. Price

this city and county to use Dr. laytort'e Patent Jo --

far superior to any other riow in use. The advantages are
the ability of making a more pefeet lit, and a more natural

All who have ever had It applied will have nothing else.—
It is impervious and perfectly Indestructible by acids or ab
'
kilies and cannot be in the Toast affected by the sali
va of,or by anything taken into the mouth. I have tested
this by putting it into the strongest aqua fortis, with no
more effect from it than would be from water.
All who.wish to try the Outta Percha `Teeth can have a
set put in, and If they do not render perfect satisfaction they
need not take them. Or if they are found not to stand the
test of lone, a gold set, of the very test character, will be
