Shocking. Affair in Virginia.
Mr. IsaaeLockmiller and wife, of Hampshire
county, Ara., left home on Sunday last, to visit
a sick neighbor, and soon after their krome was
broken into by a young man named Samuel
McDonald. The gomney, Argils . , of ye - ate:day,
says:--
"While McDonald was in the horse; Mr.
David Orndorfr and nlittle daughter ten years
of age approached for the purpose of paying a
friendly visit, and just before he reached the
door 'he was seen 'by McDonald, who, fearing
detection, seized - Leckmiller's rifle which was
there leaded; and deliberately shot Orndorff,
the ball entering near the naval and paSsing
obliquely to the hip bone, where it lodged.
The wound must prove fatal, and -from *hat
we were informed by those who brought Mc-
Donald to jail, we presume he has scarcely
survived, up to this morning. Mr. Orndorff,
we understand, ' had a wife and children.
McDonald is only 19 years of age.

The - Earthquake at Erousa, Turkey.
The, Rev. C. N. Righter,.at - Constantinople,
writes to the New York Observer: .
.“From Brows we have the most frightful
t details,of the recent. earthquake. Shocks con
tinued all night, and the inhabitants fled from
their houses ,to, take refuge' in tents. The
greater part of the buildings that withstood
the first carthiluake were, destroyed by this.
Fire broke out in four districts,.and four hun
dred and fifty victims perished. The shocks
are still repeated every hour, With more or less
violence. whole city (numbering 100,000)
is deserted. , The fountains of drinking water
ho:ve been cut off, and heated water is flowing
in the streets. Mount' Olympus, near , by,
gives forth a hissing 'noise, and at t intervala
fearful explosions like the sound of many thun

TRIAL. OF NEAL Low : —The trial of, Neal
Dow for having liquors,in his possession with
intent to sell, took place on Tuesday, in the
Police Court. The evidence failed to establish
the fact that Mr. Dow possessed the liquors
with intent to sell; but the fact was clearly
prbved that the liquors when comp lained of were
not the property of the city. Judge Carter de
cided that no liquor agency had been estab
lished, as ,rio agent' had been appointed ; but
held that the. statute did not specify whether it
should be purchased before or after the agent
is selected, a nd that 'aS-sulisequently 'the liquors
were turned over to the city, there was not ev-,
idence of criminal intent on the - part of the
Mayor. Ile was acquitted, of coarse.
A SCENE (11C rn STAGE.—Susan and Kate
Denin were playing- Romeo and Juliet at the
Troy (N. Y.) Museum,'a few' evenings since,
'when some of their enemies began to hiss Kate.
There was great excitement, and • tin b ry exhi
bitions were made between the partisans and
opponents of the heiresses,' when Kate, who
was playing Juliet, burst intotears.. This turn=
ed the tide in her favor. At this juncture
Susan came upon the stage, and placing her
arm about her sister's waist, turned to the
audience and exclaimed—
“Witat has my sister done ? Who-eati say
anything against my sister 3 (A voice—'No
body.') That is so. Say whatever you please
in regard to me, but do not abuse, my sister.
Don't cry, Katy—go on with your part. No
body.has anything to say against you.”
This happy rnelo-dramatte address was
greeted with "three times three," and with a
great effort Kate subdued her emotions. and
continued her performance. •
THE Cuoi.mtA.—One of the delegates to the
Presbyterian General Assembly lately in ses
sion' at St. Louis, fell a victim to cholera last
week, on board a steamboat,' within eight
miles of his residence, which was near
Parkersburg, Va. The New. Orleans Delta,
speaking of the disease in that city, says:
' A very
. strange circumstance attending this
cholera visitation is that but few of the poor
,and destitute are attacked, the greatest ravages
.of the disease being among the better classes
of our citizens. With them we have-heard of
frequent instances where whole families were
swept off.

NCTRIMENT OF (WONs.—Prof.Johnsonlgives
his opinion in favor of onions as a very nutri-
Lions vegetable, and for laboring men with
strong digestive powers quite healthy; It is
not merely as a relish that onions are used so

appetite. Prof. Johnson ranks onions in point
of nutriment with peas.

During the Rev. Dr.. Tyng's intemperate

on the boardS of the New York Metropolitan

there, and bear their -testimony in favor of the
liquor law ? Being similarly called out after
wards at a meeting of the Colonization SonietY.-

took to answer both of these appeals at once.
His reply was - a - model one. and deserves to be
stamped, in letters of gold, on the back of
'of every pulpit bible in Christendom. He
said :
