For want of wood, most of the fences are made by digging ditches about two feet wide and three deep, and piling up the heavy sods along side of it. This fence is very pretty when the grass on it begins to grow, and although it would scarce avail in our country, it answers here, where the cattle have no occasion to trespass in the cultivated fields— there is such an abundance of free pastures. The turf of the prairie is very hard to plough the first time, and I have seen as many as six yoke of oxen hitched to one heavy prairie plough. The cattle here are, of course, exceedingly fine, and ate raised at little or no coat. Hay can be bought in Chicago as low as from $1.75 to $3,00 per tan. All the people in this region are talking about the completion of the grand canal from this place to Peru. It is certainly a great work—it will be 60 feet wide, 6 feet deep, and the work done upon it is of the best kind. It is to be finished by November, 1846. When • is finished Chicago and Peru will be places of im- k s r'" ttte 1 ' 1.0433 APID /1036.—We have heard many of our most experienced firemen complaining of the scarcity of Fire Plugs and Hose, and they confidently aisett that if the city had been well provided with "these very necessary conveniences, the fire on Tuesday evening could have been overcome before it bad done any serious damage• A greater dumber of Plugs is what is most required.

The Councils should rrrnedy this evil at once by placing at least one ring in every square, and having a sufficient quanlity of Hose etude to supply all the Engine Companies in such a manner as will nut ren der their efforts to save the property of their fellow. cttizens abortive. Our Councils have expended an immense sum in the erection of splendid Water Works and the con struction of a Basin, which it was hoped, would be sufficient to supply all parts of the city with an abun dance of water in every emergency. But at the great fire on the 10th of April, many of the engines were idle for want of it, and on Tuesday evening the cry of 'mare water, more water," that was &wird front all parts of the ground, was truly start ling. The money that has been squandered in tree less ornament on the present works, would have been sufficient to have made all the necessary im provements that are required fur the accommoda tion of Ono Fire Companies. That is gone, howev er, Ind cannot be recalled by grumbling, and the only amends that can be made for former folly, will be for the Councils to take measures at once fur increasing the Fire l'iugs, and furnish the compa nies with all the other facilities that %, ill aid their efforts to save the property of the citizens from de struction. Pittsbnrgh.—When do the authorities of Pittsburgh expert to apply the money contributed for the relief of the sufferers by the great fire, to its legitimate purpose? About $130.000 in all have been received there ad• vanced by the spontaneous sympathy of the public, and forwarded in great haste, in detached portions, to diminish by its early arrival the distress consequent upon the disaster. Has a single dollar of it been ap propriated. Has not every cent in defiance of the wish, and of the feelings of contributors been permit ted to remain quietly unemployed, while the authori ties discuss the questions of refusing the State appro priation of $50,1,00! and loaning out the charity nt which they had been made the trustees, so as to insure its return to the public treasury?

We do not think there is more than2s buildings destroyed; at the utmost. This, to be sure, is bad enough, and is peculiarly severe on a com munity afflicted as ours has been—but still, when it is ,considered that the fire broke out in a portion of the city almost entirely built of wood, the destruction was -not great.

This Chien.) is a wonderful town, considering the short time in which it has sprung up. It has 11,000 people. Its harbor is Chicago river, in which, for four miles from the Lake, you will see the masts of of vessels scattered along. This river is from 10 to 30 feet deep. The trade of Chicago is astounding in its amount. The town has one misfortune, however— the country back is a low prairie, 12 miles in extent, of tolerably good land, but there is other land so much .better, farther back, that it is not cultivated. This detracts from the value of the location. However, it is still a prosperous and a beautiful city. The great Lake boat Empire, has just come in.— She is the wonder of these inland seas, and people who have seen her a dozen of times still go to admire her. She brought, this trip, to Chicago, Milwaukie, 750 passenger•. She is 260 feet long-32 feet 3 inch ches beam—l 4 feet hold-1220 tons burden—her cabin is 230 feet long. and and her engine to of GOO horse power! She cost about $120,000. WILL BISHOP POTTER ACCEPT?—The Phila. Ga zette declares that it has the assurance of several per sonal friends of Dr Potter, that there is little or no doubt of his accepting the. Episcopate of this Diocese. "Upon a former occasion, his non acceptance was pre dicated on an unwillingness to break up family ties. This wad when he was residing with his father-in-law, Dr Mott.

SIMI !NC E o■ R lOTERII.—We learn from the Spir it of the Times, that on Saturday last, John Paul and John Daily, convicted of murder in the second de• gree, and Henry Haughey of manslaughter, in the Kensington riots in May last, wale sentenced on Sat urday morning, each to the minimum of the law—the two former to four and the latter to two years in the Eastern Penitentiary. The latter was also required, in accordance with the act of Assets bly, to give secu rity in $lOO to keep the pence, after the expiration of his imprisonment. Judge Parsons stated that he thought Haughey ought nor to have heen convicted on the evidence against him. but that the jury who tried him were batter judges than his Honor, and the Court did not think the case such an one as would warrant them in disturbing the verdict. The Judge further said that if ever there was a case fur Executive cle mency, he believed Haughey's was one.

A SUFFERER. BRUTAL MURDER Yesterday, Mr Patton, a very respectable firmer re siding within a mile and a half of West Cheater, Pa., with a part of his family started for church, leaving the house and an infant child lechery+ of his son Wi liam, a lad of 14 years of age. and a bound girl of 15. About half past ten o'clock a man named Jaher. Boyd who had lived with MrPatton some years since, enter ed the house, carefully locked all the doors, and with a pair of fire-tongs deliberately beat the boy's brains out and threw the body into the fire that was burning on the kitchen hearth. The girl, the moment the boy was attacked, wlth ad mirable presence of mind, snatched the infant, from the cradle, raised the window, threw it out, followed her self ind give the alarm to the neighbors. The neigh bors soon gathered, and after trying, found all the doors fastened, and had to break the front door in. They found the lifeless body of the boy in the fire, partially consumed, and tte cupboard in which Mr P kept his money. broken open and about $3O in gold and silver taken. It is supposed that Boyd had not left thehouse when the neighbors art ived, but when they rushed in at the front door escaped by the way of the outside cellar door. To strengthen this supposition, tho neighbors say that the cellar door was abut when they entered the house, and that after the confusion of the moment was overit was found open—no one knows b' whom. It is also supposed that it was the murderers inten tion when he entered the house to kilt both the boy and the girl—take the money and then set fire to the house. Boyd is a_ young man of bad character. He was imprisoned in West Chester three years ago on a charge of larceny and broke jail—since which time ho has not been heard of until within a few weeks. Boyd was followed and arrested et hisfatber's boom. Our Informant did not state whether the money was found In his possession or not, but the girl recognized him SO that murderer of the boy, and I becitiseas of the neighbwhood hive no doubt as to biegudt.

Slave _.Caee.—Cla Thursday these twounfortunate men were brought be- fore the court at Trenton to receive their sentence; Goy. Vroom, and Senator Dayton sat near them. In answer to the usual question what they had to say why sentence should not be passed upon them, they both declared their innocence of the crime.—The Chief Jew ice (Nevins) then addressed at some length in a very temperate and feeling manner; in conclusion, sentenced them to he executed on the 9.2 d of August next, in the jail of the county of Warren. The pri lon ers behaved themselves quite differently from each other. Carter, a man of nearly six feet high, of sandy complexion, and slightly bald, was strongly agitated. He could not preserve his equanimity, though evident ly attempting to do it throughout: but his condition was perceptible through all his efforts. Tears filled his eyes—his lips quivered—his knees trembled—his whole frame shook. He was terribly moved, and when he sat down, after receiving his dreadful sentence, be was obliged to resort to the aid of hratshorn to re store his nerves. On the other hand, Parke, a young man, nut over thirty in appearance, of middle stature, and of prepossessing appearance, with a quick bright eye, black hair, and m eminently intelligent expression of countenance, as he stood at the table braced him self firmly by resting both his hands upon it, and obvi ously made a prodigious effort to suppress every thing ' like a visible emotion. He was successful entirely. and commanded himself wonderfully throughout. He was pate, his lips were compressed, and his eyes rest ed ;von the ground, but no tremor shook his frame, and not a lineament of his countenance betrayed that a single nerve was unstrung. A pause ensued of the deepest solemnity, pervading the whole court and e vincing the depth with which that solemn scene had sunken upon the hearts and feelings of all present. Judge Nevins then ordered the Sheriff to remove the' prisoners, and, after a few words of conference with their counsel, they wore taken out of the court, and were followed by the greater ponies; of the spectators.

Stockholders have thus a chance to save one-half of the premium, and are besides entitled to a full share of dividend. Charter perpetual. The mutual risk lessens in proportion to the amount ofinsurances. If ten men insure any given Burn, each one incurs a risk of 10 per cent.; but 500 men would only incur the risk of crus•fifth of one per cent- The Company has been in operation since 1890. Capital subscribed, $lOO,OOO, on which 20 per cent. hav e been paid in, which amount • with about 20 per cent. more, is safely invested in mortgages and other securities. There is a considerable amount of bonds un hands, to be resorted to in case of losses, before any capital subscribed can be used. This is the great security, and this principle animus] insurances has given great satisfaction. Marine and Inland Tranrportation Risks taken on usual terms, as by other offices, and 10 per cent. of the premium returned if ties risk end without loss. C N. BUCK, President DIAKCTORA.
