On motion of Mr. Kennedy, the commit

the practicability of an electro magnetic
telegraph. (The practicability has long

med Morse, has come on here in the va:n
hope of getting an appropriation to carry
it out.)
The bill having been read by the clerk,
there was a general buzz of disapproba
tion, at the idea of paying out so great a
sum in these hard times, for a mere philo
sophical experiment.
Mr. Cava Johnson said if the bill were
pressed, he should feel bound to offer an
amendment, which was that one half the
sum shou d be given to Mu. Fisk to test
the pt acticability of Mesmerism, (Roars
orlaughter, and cries of that's it Johnson )
Mr. Jolrlson proceeded. He said it
was but the other day, a sum was appro
priated for meteorological surveys, and a
new officer, a clerk t•f the weather, was
fastened upon government. Now here it '
was pi oposed to expend $3,000 for anoth
er scheme; for experimenting in b lect ro
magletiim. But if the committee thought
proper to agree to such a bill, he wanted
justice. Ha wanted the whole circle of

an act of simple republican justice, felt
bound to move the one ha!f this sum of

Finally tellers were ordered and the

At a period like the present, when polit•

On Saturday last, six persons, in a two
horse sleigh, were proceeding down the
Bearer road at noon day, when in the at
tempt to cross Woods' run, about three
miles from the city, the driver was thrown
from his seat by reason of obstructions at
that point which cannot well be defined in
terms adequate to convey an idea of the
imminent danger to man and beast, that
may chance to pass that way. It would,
however, appear as if preparations was be.
ing made for the, erection and construction
of a permanent bridge tft the place mention
ed, in as much as a very good foundation
site is now vi3ible by the action of the run,
in
.the channel. So who have taken a
birds eye view of the place, think the ex
cavation does not exceed eight feet b, , 10w
the level of the road—a graverhole, we
confess, rather deep, for the ordinary height
of travelers approaching our city in that
direction.
But in all seriousness, let us hope the
commissioners may avail themselves of the
present sleighing season, to do the state
some service by a personalexamination of
the difficulties referred to, in order to act
understandingly when the subject may of
ficially come before them for consideration.
And it may be proper to add, although
not in a tone of intimidation, that unless
the public interests, in the matter mention
ed be spedily consulted, we may have dif•
ficulties with Buckeye travellers- in actions
for damages, equally formidable to the an.
noyance our country has had in search of
