A pile of marble, on one of the floors of the new hanking house of John J. Anderson, now in the course of erection, fell with a crash on Monday last, and buried beneath the ruins a man named Flinn.

Our streets and side-walks present a most deplorable sight te those hailing from eastern cities—the mud, In many places, Is as thick upon the pavements as the street, and it is astonishing how house-keepers can allow such filthy mud sinks before their doors.

Sir. Smith and Mr. Sears succeeded in re talolDg their hold upon the boat until she drifted on a sand bar. Tho balance of the party named, with all the baggage wore lost.

Senator.— They have finally passed a resolution by 65 against 2, fix ing tho day of election of a Senator, on the sth day of Jan uary next. From present indications either Mr. Guthrie or ex-Governor Powell will bo the man—we are incliued think the.latter gentleman will be the choice. To-day the election in Kansas will take place, as ordered by the Locompton Convention. What the result will be Is not for us to say, but we think, whother the woolly.-heads vote or not, there will be Democrats enough in the Terri tory to vote down the slavery clause, and with it carry the Constitution—which Constitution amounts to nothing, for the first Legislature elected, after Kansas becomes a State, may so alter, amend and remodlo it as to suit the views of . the actual residents—at which time they will cut loose from all outside influences, and conduct their own domestic affairs to suit themselves. 1 f the Lecompton Constitution, j with or without slavery, goes before Congress, and under it asks for admission, and Congress sees fit to receive it, we hope to find Mr. Buchanan acting according to his views of this question in the message —putting the bill through, and at once, and we hope forever, settling this Kansas squabble for political honors. The adoption of the Lecomp ton or any other Constitution will be the death blow to Black Republicanism; but let the matter be deferred, and just so long will Black Republicanism hold up its head. It la very apparent that their only aim is to keq£ np a con stant fire against the Administration, and defSr from time to time the final settlement of this question, until they can manage to drag its carcase into the next Presidential cam paign. They seem determined to keep Kansas ‘•bleeding” until 1860. When Kansas is admitted—no matter what her Constitution may be—(which would soon be changed to suit the views of the majority of the people of the Ter ritory)—we will hear no more of this grand political hum bug, and six months would find the country at rest on this score. Texas was another grand humbug for the opponents of Democracy fo manufacture capital out of, and like it “bleeding” Kansas will become healed; and like those who opposed its admission, will slide down the political ladder to the lowest round. We say again admit Kansas at thefirxl opportunity offered —she can never with the out side influences at work, better her condition until she is one of the States of the Union, when her own citizens will take the reins of Government ia their bands, aud form such laws as will best confunn to their views. The admis sion of Kansas will Dotonly secure peace to the unfortunate Territory, hut it will give peace to the eutire country.

This Company gives employment to several hundred citizens, and the prosperity, of the town depends more upon it than all other interests combined. Value of Property in St. Paul, Minneso ta. —Some idea of the value of property (or what it sells for) in St. Paul, Minnesota, may be formed from the fact that on the 6th of the present month JR. M. Spencer, of that city, sold a lot on the corner of Sibley and Third •Btreets, for $2OO per foot, the terms beings8 f -f 200 in cash, and the balanoe on time, bearing ten per cent interest. The price seemß incred ible, but so says the Minnesotion. Only a few jpears ago, the present site of St. Paul was -a wilderness. This iB an indication of the growth the West.

A well-to-do farmer .of Springport, three years ago, had a litile altercation I ;,' with his wife, and while conversing with hetf took up a pail to go after some water. Ilis long absence awakened the fears of his wifcj, who suspected at once that he had made an end“of his life by throwing himself into the! -well. The well was accordingly searched, but the husband wa9 not found. The friendly neigh bors industriously sought for, but fuupd no traces of him. Last week, while his family were at tea, the missing husband walked into the room with the pail of water in hisjhand, and 6at down to the table as if nothing had happened. He had been gone just after his pail of water, had visited California and Australa, and had “turned up”again with a handsome little fortune in his pocket; The Utah Expedition. j!

CATHARTIC PILLS OPERATE by their powerful influent* on the internal viscera to purify the blood and stimu late it into healthy action. They remove the obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the body, and, by restoring their irregular action to health, correct, wherever they exist, such derangements as are the first causes of disease. An extensive trial of their virtues, by Professors, Phvsicians, and Patients, has shown cures of dan gerous diseases almost beyond belief, were thej not substantiated by persons of such exalted position and character as to forbid the suspicion of untruth. Their certificates are published in my American Almanac, which the Agents below named are pleased to furnish free to all inquiring. Annexed we give Directions for thur use in the complaints which they have been found to cure. For Costivbnrss. Take one or two Pills, or such quantity as to gently move the bowels. Cos tiveness is frequently the aggravating cause of Piles, and the cure of one complaint is the cure of both. No person can feel well while under a costive habit of bodv. Hence it should be, as it can be. promptly relieved. For Dyspepsia, which is sometimes the cause of Costivencss, and always uncomfortable, take mild doses from one to four to stimulate the stomach and liver into healthy action. They will do it. and the heartburn , bodybum, and toulbum of dyspepsia will rapidly disappear. When it has gone, don’t forget what cured you. Pur a Fori, Stomach, or Morbid Inaction of the Rotre/s, which produces goneral depression of the spirits and had health, take from four to eight Pills at Hr-t. and smaller doses afterwards, until activity and strength is restored to the system. Kmi NHitvni'ftNF.fts, Sick HbaAachh, Nausea, Pain in the Stomach, Back, or Side , take from four tn eight pills on going to bed. If they do not oner uti* «iilHciently, take more tho next day until they do. ThoNc complaints will bo swept out from the system. Don't wear theso and their kindred dis orders bemuse your stomach is foul. Fun Snuipi’LA, Erysipelas, and all Diseastt of the Skin, take the Pills freely and frequently, to keep the bowels open. Tho eruptions will gener ally soon begin to diminish and disappear. Many dreadful ulcers and sores havo been healed up by the purging and purifying effect of these Pills, ana tome disgusting diseases which seemed to saturate the whole system have completely yielded to their influence, leaving the sufferer in perfect health Patients ! your duty to society forbids that you should parade yourself around the world covered with pimples, blotches, ulcers, sores, and all or any of the unclean diseases of the skin, because your lystem wants cleansing. To Purify thb Blood, they are the best medi cine ever discovered. They should be taken freely and frequently, and the impurities which sow the Beeds o? incurable diseases will be swept out of the system like chaff before the wind. By this property they do as much good in preventing sickness as by the remarkable cures which they are making every where. Liver Complaint, Jaundice, and all Bthous Ajfectiona, arise from some derangement—either torpidity, congestion, or obstructions of the Liver. Torpidity and congestion vitiate the bile and render it unfit for digestion. This is disastrous to the health, and the constitution is frequently under mined by no other cause. Indigestion is the symp tom. Obstruction of the duct which empties the bile into the stomach causes the bile to overflow into the blood. This produces Jaundice, with a long and dangerous train of evils. Costiveness, or alternately costiveness and diarrhcea, prevails. Feverish symptoms, languor, low spirits, weariness, restlessness, and melancholy, with sometimes in ability to sleep, and sometimes great drowsiness; sometimes there is severe pain in the side ; the skin and the white of the eyes become a greenish yellow; the stomach acid; the bowels sore to the touch; the whole system irritable, with a tendency to fever, which may turn to bilious fever, bilious colic, bilious diarrhcea, dysentery, &c. A medium dose of three or Tour Pills taken at night, followed by two or three in the morning, and repeated a few days,will remove the cause of all these troubles. It is wicked to suffer such pains when you can cure them for 2.5 cents. Rheumatism; Gout, and all Inflammatory Fe ft., v, are rapidly cured by the purifying effects of these Pills upon the blood and the stimulus which th-v afford to the vital principal of Life. For these at- 1 nil kindred complaints they should be taken in mild doses, to move the bowels gently, but freely. As a Dinner Pill, this is both agreeable and useful. No Pill can be made more pleasant to take, and certainly none has oeen made more effectual to the purpose for which a dinner pill is employed.
