The Denton House.
This popular Hotel, heretofore kept by
George Jennings, has changed hands.
Mssrs. CofTinan and Stoddard have pur
chased the building and adjacent lots, and
commenced business as pr iprietors on
Tuesday. We understand they have con
siderable experience and a high reputa
tion as hotel keepers, and from their in
telligent and gentlemanly manners, vc
hare no doubt of their success. The
house is one of the best in all the West,
is well furnished, and enjoys a liberal
patronage.
ReST" We call the attention of our read
ers to the advertisement of Wattles &
Tike. Everything good and desirable to
the palate can be found at their store.
SO Those having any painting to do
will do well to call on Mr. P. Wideman.
being well acquainted with him, we feel
safe in recommending him to the public.

Shockixo Affair ix Washington.
At the President's Levee on Friday the
tiih, Col. D. C. Lee, a clerk in the Pen
sion office, seized by the collar a highly
respectable and wealthy gentleman of Al
exandria and accused him of picking his
pockets of a pocket book. An altercation
ensued, ending for the moment in an ex
change of card. Soon afterwards Lee
was informed that ho was mistaken in his
man, that this was a gentleman of high
character. Yet when Hume called on him
next day, with a friend, and stated his
well known po.ition in society, Lee re
fused to retract his charge. Hume then
struck Lee three blows with a cane, and
Lee shot him dead. The occurrance pro
duced great excitement in both cities. A
committee of 100 citizens of Alexandria
proceeded to Washington to convey the
body to his home. Lee surrendered him
self,, pleading that the killing was in self
defence, was bailuj, and to avoid public
indignation, went to Virginia.
Another New State. - Arrange
ments, it is said, nre making to form a
Statd out of the northeast corner of Mich
igan, under the name of Superior. Mich
igan agrees to the surrender of that part
of her territory which lies without the
peninsula, and IViseon-in consents to part
w:th that portion nf her territory, which
lies on the diore of the great lake : be
sides which Minnesota must yield a cor
nerof her territory immediately adjoining.
A memorial presenting the advantages of
this new scheme is already preparing for
Congress. W? give this statement as we
find it iu the papers. Nil new Slate can
thus be formed without the consent of Con
gress. But suppose what is highly im
probable that Congress should consent,
the State thus erected would there be sov-rcigu--and
what power would there bo,
in case &ho should refuse to nsk admission,
to compel her to come into the Unin?
Standard.
Exploration of the River Nicer.
A bill was reported a few days ago.
from the Committee on Commerce, of the j
Senate, to provide for the exploration of
the Niger, in Africa. It provides that
the Secretary of the Navy cause an ex
ploration to be made by some competent
officer of the Navy, of the river Nitre r,
with a view to ascertain its navigability ;
nnd that for that purpose he may cause to
be prepared, or procured, a small steam
vessel, adapted to river navigation, and ap
propriate twenty-five thousand dollars for
the object.
The bill is accompanied by a UtUT trom
T. J. IWcn, Esq., which explains its ol
jett, ntij thrws its importance) and practi
cability.' The Niger has not been ex
plored by vessels further than about 400
utiles from its mouth, and it is be'ievcd lo
te uavigabltf for (wo thou.atul miles.
