We have never, since our connection with the press, been called upon to notice more painful occurrence than one which happened near this place last week. It appears that several individuals were engaged in' fishing in the river two or three miles west "of town, and, as is too often the case, bad a quantity of liquor with them a fire had been built on the bank of the river during the day, and near the evening the most of the "company departed for their respective homes, leaving one individual, named Wx.

Lonsy, lying within a few feet of the fire, in a state of insensibility. It is supposed that tbro' the course of the night he either rolled into the fire, or the wind, which was quite high during the night, blew the blaze toward, him, causing his clothes to take fire. Mr. J. M.

Bratton accidentally hsppened to be passing the spot the next morning, and discovered him. His cloths, with the exception of his era vat and portionsof the pants round his boots, were entirely burnt off his whiskers' and the hair on his head were strip ped clean, and his arms and body burnt into a crisp Mr. Bratton descended from his horse, and walking towards him, buiSd that he was still alive, crying, in scarcely audable voice, for some one to put out the fire.t Some of the nearest neighbors were who conveyed him home, where he died about 1 1 o'clock in the evening. Mr. Loney hss eft a large family of small children, in destitute circumstances.

to mourn his untimely end. This occurrence should certainly sink deep into the heart of every one who is in the habit of using, to excess, intoxi eating spirits. Mr. Loney had been for a longtime an outrageous drunkard, and we have, on numerous occasions, told him that unless he desisted a terrible end awaited him. Ah, how true have those word proven I Let his fate be a warn ing to those who are almost daily in the habit of making beasts of themselves, that they may henceforth abstain from touch ing, tasting or handling the unclean thing.

The sale of intoxicating liquors has indeed become a great evil in our com munity, and we sincerely hope that steps may be taken to prevent the traffic en tirely. Let a person stand on the cor ners of our streets almost any day in the week, and he cannot fail to notice the enormous evils growing out of the sale ol intoxicating drinks. Our citizens should use their, influence against it, 'and we are well assured that we should soon be hold the dawning of a better day.

John B. Howe. Most of our readers recollect the assertion of a 'small potato democratic editor in these parts, that John B. Howe would make a very good justice of the peace for a backwood township." We regarded the assertion aa of little consequence, believing that it was made by a fellow who, perhaps, had aeen Howe, but never spoken to him in bis life. Hear what the editor of the Western Chronicle, Michigan, formerly a citizen of Lima, and well acquaints with Mr.

Howe, says of his nomination John B. Howe, of Lima, is a nominee upon toe nig ticket for Supreme Judge, in Indiana. He is aa excellent man for that station, and were we a resident of Indiana, we should be tempted to rive him a vota, in preference to bis oppo nent. We don't like some of his "eon' servative" ideas buf we admire his open, man 17 lnaepenaeoce, ana oil moral integrity.

M. is an old fashoned, economic al, practical man, without the gloss of a College education. He is' the man of the people, and the editors of these pa pers know very well if he is elected their prospects for fat offices under toe Wright policy of increasing offices and taxes to provide for their favorites, will grow smaller by degrees and beautifully less We see confident this is the secret to their Oppositition to Mr. McCarty. But the people are tired ot Wright's contin ued recommendation of the increase of officers and consequent increase of taxa and they will rally to Mr.

McCarty's standard to secure retrenchment and re form. Rush Repuh. Another Cuba Axpedition. The Eastern papers slate that there is strong probability that there will be an other Cuban bxpedition fitted out in the United States. Mr.

Fitch of this State in a speech in the House of Represents' tives on the Presidential question assert ed that. there would be such en expedU tion set on foot, and gave this as one ol the reasons why whig party should not be continued in power. We presume the honorable would delight in another war, but we venture the prediction, that in such an event, he would keep himsel out of harm's way. Greensburg Local Frets. of one linmbag.

A certain Dr. Kinkle, a German ref ugee, has been for a number of months past, travelling over the United states collecting funds for the pretended pur pose of revolutionizing uermany. created quite a sensation in some places and excited a sympathy second only to that which Kossuth has since stirred up We believe that he too issued bonds, to be redeemed when Germany should be come a Republic. Well, the upshot of all is, that he collected a "Fool Tax" of about tlOO.OOd, which he has invested in a Brewery in Cincinnati, and embark ed in the business. This is a laughable finality to one humbug.

We are curi ous to see what Kossuth wil make of the "Fool Tax" Ae is levying on the gullibility of the American people. Will he, too, invest it in a brewery Does he, like Kinkle, "not love liberty less, but beef more Fort Wayne Times. mail brings us most encour aging news in relation to the prospects Mr. McCirty's election: Thousands of people of the State, entertaing oppo site political notions, will nevertheless vote for him.

UcCaxty's Early, Life. fhe more the people of this State earn about. Nicholas McCartt, says be South Bend Register, hi. early life, his personal worth, his goodness of heart and his rigid integrity of character, the more they will esteem and admire him the higher will the tide of enthusiasm in his favor From the day that he hired himself arthree dollars per month to relieve a destitute widowed mother from the cost of hia support, and then clothed himself upon half of his wages that be might pour the residue into ber meagre treasury, the present day, when he stands before the people of his adopted State, a candidate for their highest honor, he has ever proved himself "a good man" in emphatically the broadest definition of the term. We find in the Tuscarawas Advocate, a paper published at New Phidadelphia, Ohio, the following communication re stive to Jiimroraone wbo knewjnim in his youth.

His worthy of being read and reflected upon by all A Good Ham for Governor. Some time about the year 1821. there came to New Philadelphia, an active business man between 20 and 30 years of agerwith goods. le was originally from Newark, Licking county, where he had served an apprenticeship to a respectable merchant, who had taken a fancy to him when a boy, for his singular tact and sterling honesty. At that time there was neither turnpikes nor canals, to carry the farmers' oro duce to market, and the evils which out merchants call a "want of currency prevailed in this section of The store keepers after dispos ing of their goods, had to collect in their arger debts in cattle, hogs, 1 hese were then the heavy circulating medium of the country.

Our Nwark store keep er, who was familiarly called Nick or Mac, went into business here with all the attention and energy of one who was determined to be successful. The farm era trot to' like him for his honest nlain way of dealing the mechanics liked him, because in his leisure moments they had him for a sociable companion the' few professional men we had then iked him on account ot his general in telligencethe women liked him because he would frankly tell them whether this piece of calico would stand washing, or that pattern fade, for Mao never recom mended anything under false colors. His heart, too, was always in the right placr As an instance, when the autumn al fever caused sue! mortality in this neighborhood, Mac was ministering to the sick all around. It is related of him. that once when a dispute arose in his store a bout sitting up with certain Sick families, Mac, with his usual bluntness remarked, that "the rich could readily find watch ers," and then taking the arm of a friend, "come," said be, "you and i will atten to the wants of the poof." cut alter too short a stay among us, fortune changed the residence of Mao to another State.

He left Ohio for the seat of government in Indiana, where his talents have long made him useful as Citizen, and his social virtue, respected as a man. The Indiana Sentinel, Democratic paper, of the 27th February, ft 1 a i mm informs us mat iNicnoias Mcuarty, f.sq. has been nominated at the Whig State Convention, as a candidate for Governor This is the same old Mao about whom we have been discoursing, save theEjq Mao requires too title to elevate him in the opinion of those who know his polit ical principles and private worth, he Sentinel closes its article on the nomina tion of Mr, McCarty, with the following commentary; We honor him for hi. Like Henry Clay, everybody who knows Nicholas McCarty knows his politics. The same yesterday, to day and forev er; The Sentinel might have added th aH Nicholas McCarty is a democrat by ed ucation a democrat in his daily de portment, and a democrat in principle And why not belong to the party that bears the name 1 Because his honorable frankness forbids him to stand under false colors.

Should Nicholas McCar ty be electe'd, we know this much about him, the moment he would take his seat. he would cease to be the Governor of party. The people of the whole State would alone be recognized as his constit uents. Number of Banks in the Union. The Banker'.

CONGRESSIONAL. Our Whig friends in this (the 11th) Congressional District are doubtless a ware of the fact, that as a District, we are without a Central Committee.

This' being so, leaves us without any one offi cially authorized to act in making ar rangements for. holding a Convention this spring to nominate a candidate in this District for Congress. Under these circumstances it rnsy be expected, per haps, that the press will designate the me, and the place proper, for holding our first Convention. We believe there are but two Whig papers in the District our own and the ieralu of Huntington. The publication of the Tribune, of Howard county, we are informed for the present suspended.

We are sorry for this, but presume friend D'Long and ourself can, without difficulty, fix both upon the time and place at which it would be proper for said Convention to meet; and. as friend D'Long has not yet suggested anything in relation to the matterr.we venture to propose Marion, in Grant county, as the place, and Thursday, the 27th of Mav next, a. the time for holding the Convention; and respectfully ask friend D'Long'. vie ws in relation thereto. Some friends: we are aware, are of the opinion'that the Whigs of this District should make no nomination for Congress, but let some volunteer take the track.

We think differently, but will not state the reasons that prompt us to favor a nomination. But whether a nomination be made or not, we believe a Convention should be called for the purpose of settling that question, of appointing a Congressional Committee, and of conferring together in relation to matters generally, of interest to us a. a party. Besides this, as co aborera for the success ot the same crea4 principles we wish to form one anothers acquaintances. We propose Marion as the proper place at which, to hold said Convention, because of its central location in the dia trict and the 27th day of May, next, a.

me time, Because, oy inut ume, our farmers will generally have their spring work done, and because should a nomination be made, the candidate selected, should, have such notice of his selection, as will enable him. to arrange his business and be ready to take the slump with the State Canvassers. We think Thursday the proper day of the week on which to meet, because it rnajr be necMsarjtjo continue jn L.e.sion two days, and many persons may attend, who will not wish, either to remain in Marion, or.ta travel home on the Sabbath day. In reference to the candidate, we have, at present, but little to We know of no one in this county who desires the track, and presume that the Whigs here, will unite heartily in the support of any good man and true Whig, from any other county, who may be presented as the candidate. We have" heard the name of John M.

Wallace, of Marion, several times fayorablymentiojne the and ahouldjie receive the nomination, we think he may safely count on a united and hearty support from the vvniga ui tvauaau. Mr. Wallace is the' Wnig elector for thia District, and should he be selected as bur candidate for Congress, another reason will be presented why said Con vention should assemble at an early day, namely Mr. Murray, his alternate, will be called upon to take Mr. Wallace', place as elector, and should have timely notice of that call.

Father Mathew's Advice to the Emigrants In reply to the many addresses he has received since his return Id Ireland, Father Matbew made the following remarks: After a residence of thirty yeara in Cork, I did not believe that I could anywhere, find more harrowing illustrations of the ruin and calamity, of drunken ness, until 1 bad visited America. There the condition of the drunken emigrant is forlorn bereft of care and pity, he falls a prey to the cupidity of thetar pies who trade upon the unfortunate vie tims of ibis fatal propensity. With full knowledge of the poverty of a majority of my unfortunate countrymen. I would earnestly recommend them to struggle on in their native land, rather than expose themselves to the dangers that a wait them among strangers." England and the United States.

Complaints of this notice have been sent to England and the British government, through their minister at Washington, it is said, have demanded of our. the withdrawal of the notice and instructions to the collector to admit the claim of their ship master, on the Pacific.
