At Lafayette, Indiana, on the 13th inst., of congestive fever,
Edward Augustus Ellsworth, in the 24th year of his age.
The deceased was one of those enterprizing spirits who abandoned
every advantage and comfort of life, as one of the early pioneers of
the far West. Launching on his career of active life before he had
strained the age of manhood, he traversed the countries watered by
the Arkansas Red river, Missouri, and Mississippi, penetrating into
the midst of that horde of wild Indians, the Comanches, with a
spirit that knew no obstacle, and a determination never to be
subdued. Selecting Lafayette as the point combining most advantages,
he settled, with a determination of making it his permanent
residence, and, by his industry, enterprize, and activity,
materially contributed to its rapid advancement; but cut off in the
midst of his successful undertakings, that community unite with his
bereaved widow and parents, and his numerous friends in the east, in
lamenting his untimely fate.

Distressing Mortality! One of the most distressing instances of
mortality which it has ever been to our lot to record, has occurred
in the family of our late worthy and enterprizing fellow citizen,
Mr. Henry Miller, who removed from this country last fall, to
Arkansas. Himself, his wife, his daughter-in-law, (Mrs. Lucinda
Miller, wife of Mr. George Miller) and two of his servants, were all
carried off - except the elder Mrs. Miller, whose death is ascribed
chiefly to mental distress - about the 20th of September, within a
few hours of each other, by the prevailing fever of that country.
Alas, how vain and unsubstantial are human hopes and prospects! How
melancholy the change which a few days have brought over this
family! Few have embarked their fortunes in the west, under more
auspicious circumstances, or with greater certainty of realizing
their highest anticipations. But their bright and glowing future has
closed in sudden darkness - their land of promise has proved their
early graves! - Staunton Spectator |

LOTS FOR SALE IN ELIZABETHTOWN,
THIS town site is situated on the east bank of White river, in town
12 north, and range 3 west, a little more than a mile north of
Newport, in the fertile county of Jackson. It is believed to possess
important advantages over any other location in Jackson county. It
is situated on a high bank, above all overflow, with the best and
highest ground for roads on both sides of the best and highest
ground for roads on both sides of the river, known to the
undersigned. Contiguous to it, on the west is the Oil trough bottom,
which, in fertility of soil, is not surpassed by any land in
America. On the east, and adjoining the town site, is the beautiful
and fertile ridge on which Litchfield is situated, comprising
several townships of very superior land. A road will be opened, in a
few days, from Litchfield, passing through the town, and
intersecting the road leading to Batesville, about one mile west of
the town, the distance being about the same as the road now opened,
and owing to the much greater elevation of the proposed route on
both sides of the river, it must, as soon as opened, become the
thoroughfare from St. Francis to Batesville.
The lots will be laid out and offered at public sale, on Thursday,
the 28th day of December next. Should this weather prove
unfavorable, the sale will take place the next fair day.
Mechanics and Merchants are invited to visit and examine the site.
The terms of sale will be liberal, and an indisputable title given.
The Times & Advocate is requested to publish the above until the day
of sale, and forward their bill to the Gazette office for
collection.

PUBLIC MEETING IN SALINE
Agreeably to previous notice, a portion of the citizens of Saline
county assembled at the house of Major James Moore, in the town of
Benton, on the 22d instant, when the following preamble and
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
The object of the meeting being explained by Major Moore, on his
motion, Rezin Davis, Esq., was called to the chair, and Green B.
Hughes, appointed Secretary.
Whereas, we, the citizens of Saline county have understood that
William Field, of the county of Pulaski, and Terence Farrelly, of
the county of Arkansas, are candidates for the Presidency of the
State Bank of Arkansas; and that after several ballottings of the
legislature, no choice has been made owing to a tie vote; and
whereas, we have farther understood that the Hon. John McLain, our
Senator, has recorded his vote in favor of Mr. Farrelly, contrary to
the wishes of his constituents in this county; and believing, from
Mr. McLain's repeated declarations, made in the canvass of 1836, at
which time he was a candidate for the State Senate, that he will, at
all times, regard the right of instruction, it is, therefore, by
this meeting,
Resolved, That, so far as the voice of this meeting, and the people
of Saline county are concerned, that the Hon. John McLain is hereby
instructed to give his vote for William Field, as President of the
State Bank of Arkansas, at any future ballot that may occur during
the present session of the Legislature, believing, as we do, that
said Field is entirely competent to perform the duties of President
of the Bank.
And it is farther resolved, by this meeting, That we invite such of
the citizens of this county, who may think proper, and who have not
attended this meeting, to become signers to the same.
Resolved, That a copy of these proceedings be furnished the Hon.

The Ozark - We invite the attention of the public to the
advertisement in this paper, of the new and elegant steam Ozark. She
was built at Cincinnati, under the personal direction of Capt. Hosea
himself, and was designed to supply the place on this river of the
Arkansaw, which Capt. H. had the misfortune to lost last year. Her
officers will be equal to any on the river - Capt. Cochran and Mr.
Baldwin will , will be of the number. |

The subscriber offers for sale, one half of his Drugs and
Medicine establishment, in Little Rock. As the purchaser is not
acquainted with the trade, he will receive proper instructions for
the preparation of such medicines and chemicals as are usually made
by apothecaries; and, in a short time, he will have acquired an
honorable, useful, and profitable profession. It is expected that
none but gentlemen of sober and steady habits will make application.
Apply at the office, Ashley's brick row. M. Delacave
