Man Killed by a Woman in Defence
of ller Husband,
From the Plalte ( Misfoun ') ~irgus of June 10.
Ou Saturday night ihc City Marshal was
aroused from btd to go to a house on ihe
northern extremity of Leavenworth street.
Here was a horrible sight. Sitting up in
bed was a man by the name Branham, bis face
bruscd up, bis shirt covered with blood, and
his wife, a young, good-looking woman, in
much distress, and attending to his bruises.—
About twenty feet from the back door, in the
gardou, lay the dead body of Hugh Wilson,
bis features scarcely recogniz ible, bis forehead
smashed in, and the blood and brains oozing
out profusely, a large and bloody club by Lis
side, with which the woman, wife of Branham,
said she had clone the deed iu defence of her
husband. The pitin story that the two told
was that Wilson (intoxicated) had forced the
lock of the hack door, hid jerked Branbam
out of bei an 1 dragged bitu out into the gar
den. The wife fl w to her husbcn l's assistance
with a club, and, by dint of well directed
blows, made of Wilson the most horrible corpse
one couli well look on.
STATEMENT OF MRS. MARY BRANHAM.
Myself and husband had retired to bed, when
some oue broke into the liou-e and came to the
bod before we eouid get up. The man seized
ruy husb. au and dragged him out, striking at
and beating him. He called to me for help ;
said that the man was trying to wring off bis
neck. I could uot get hold of any thing ex
cept a piece of board, the same now in court.
With this I ran up to my husband, aud found
him down with a strong man resting one knee
on his breast and striking him very severe
blows. As I got iu striking distance the mm
was making an attempt to wring off the neck
of my husbatid, who seemed to bo almost help
less. 1 immediately struck him with the stick,
and did not ccasc until his boll upon my hus
band's bead was relaxed. I struck liiui with
nothing but the stick. My husband had been
sick in bei for a we k previous, arid was al
most as belplc;B as a child. I stiuek to save
mv husband's life, and believe bo would
hive been killed iu a few mmutes if 1 had not
struck.
DECISION OF THE JUSTICES.
"We the undersigned Justices, agree unani
mously that *ho homicide committed by Mary
Branham on iingh Wilson was justifiable, and
she is discharged from custody."
AN OCEAN TRIP IN A BALLOON.—J. Stei
uer, of HariLburg, Pa., proposes to cross
the Atlantic iu a baloou, one hundred feet in
diameter, lie says iu a letter to the Tele
graph .
I am satisfied in my own mind tb-t with such
nn apparatus I cou'.d cross the All mtie iu 75
hours, and the wh<>!a Co3t would uot be more
then $20,000. The b illoon, net aud value,
wouli weigh about 2,000 pounds, and the boat
and rigging 3 tons aud a half—this will leave
about 8 tons ascending power, for provisions,
passengers and ballast. It would require three
good occac navigators, and one astronomer,
besides myself. I would suggest N. York as
the startiug point and am certain 1 would strike
within 200 miles of any given distance in
Europe. I would suggest May us the time for
making the experiment, and would make the
attempt iu 1859 if I could get the government
or others to assist uie.
MOUNT VESUVIUS—The great eruption of
Mount Vesuvius, noticed iu the Vanderhilt's
news, appeals to hive been foreboding since
May list. There has been no flow of lava
since 1855, the upper myjutain having, been
very quiet for some time. The first aud most
dicadful eruptiou of Vesuvius was in the year
70, when Pompeii and llercuianaeum were
LurieJ in the burning lava, and more than a
quarter c? a million of human beings perished.
In 1331 the town of Terre del Greece, men
having four thousand inhabitants, was entirely
destroyed, together with much of the surround
ing country. There were also terrible erup
tions in 1759, 1767, and in 1791, making the
thirty-fifth since the time Pompeii wns buried,
and the second time that Terra del Grecco was
horned. At this time the top of the mountain
foil in, leaving the crater nearly two miles in
circumference. There have been several erup
tions siuoe, but none of the magnitude of the
present.
A NICE QUESTION. —Soma few week 9 ago,
the Fulton, Mo., Telegraph, having stated as a
pioce of news, that the Governor of Missouri,
K. M. Stewart, had been fligged in a brawl at
Jefferson city, by a man named Vandiver, the
St. Louis Republican indignantly denied and
denounced it as a scandalous lie. The offi
cious defence of the Governor has proved ra
ither unfortunate for him, as the editor of the
Telegraph, feeling his honor at stake, lias gone
(to work and fortified his veracity by proofs
showing that the governor had really been flo<r
ged. Capt. Vandiver himself says that he'did
kuook the Governor down, and uamed his licks
upon him' (if anybody kuows what that means)
but that, boiii of them being on a spree at the
time, ihey made it np aud parted as friends. —
Dignified potentate, that Governor Stewart.
A RIGHTEOUS VERDICT.—At a recent term
of the Federal Court of the United States,
Pontotoe, Mississippi, the father of Nancy
\\ ilson, of Virginia, a young lady of about
sixteen years old, obtained a jodgnmnt of §lO
- damages against Robert Wilson, of Mis
sissippi, who was nr.J is a married man, for de
.coying his daughter away from home. It is
said that the defendant lias transferred his
property, so that nothing cau be nude out jf
iiitu, although at the time he committed the
deed he was a wealthy man.— Memphis Bulle

SEVEN YEAR FLOODS. —The western waters
were very high in '3C and '37. Seven ye ns
after, in '44, and in seven years again, iu 'sl
und tbm again in 'SB we have a great flood.—
T ue superstitious can now exercise their talrnts
"pen the magical number seven. We are told
'hat the ludians of tho We3t held such a tra
dition aleo of a seven year flood.— Louisville

Henry Brooks the last surviving officer of

stroke.
A. slight shock of an earthquake was cxpe-
J-tetued yj several parts of Connecticut, on
a week, being tho second in 200
years.
f A IIEIID OP OUWS IN TUB Alß. —The recent
j whirlwind at, and in the vicinity of Oolesville,
! Maryland, wae the most singular phenomenon,
I according to accounts, we have ever read. The
ltockville Journal says that there issued from
! it a black smoke which darkened the atmos
(phere. One gentleman saw a herd of cows
i apparently up in the air, and there is every
i reason to believe thut they ware blown a quar
ter of a mile. It is said that the horizou was
filled with fragments of clothes, shingles, limbs,
o'c. It rushed on at this rate till it reached
the Patuxent liver, and there its course was
suddenly arrested.

TELF.GRAHIIIC UNION OF FOUR CONTINENTS.
! —Should the Atlantic Telegraph be completed,
' Europe, Asia, Africa, and America will be

; other, and a remarkable progress will have been

Author of "Letters to Invalids," Editor of the

AUGUST APPOINTMENT.
BEDFORD, "WASHINGTON IIOUSK,"
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11TH.
lar. Hardman treats Consumption, Bronchitis,
Asthma, Lairyngittis. and all diseases of the throat
and lungs, by medical Inhalation, lately used in the
Bromton Hospital, London. The great point in
the treatment of all human maladies is to get at
the disease in the diiect manner. All medicines
are estimated by their action upon the organ re
quiring relief. This is the important fact upon
which Inhalation is based. If the stomach is di
seased we take medicine directly into the stomach.
If the lungs are disoasdß, breathe or inhale medi
cated vapors directly into the lungs. Medicines
are the antidotes to disease and should be applied
to the very seat of disease. Inhalation is the ap
plication of this principle to the treatment of the
lungs, for it gives us direct access to those intri
cate air cell* and tulies which lie oufof reach of
every other means of administering medicines. —
The reason ttiat consumption, and other diseases
of the lungs, have heretofore resisted all treatment
has been because they had never been approached
in ; direct manner by medicine. They were intend
ed to nit upon the lungs aud yet were applied to
the stomach. Their action was intended to be lo
cal, and yet they were so administered that they
should act constitutionally, exending immediate
and pi ir.cipal action upon the unoffending stomach,
whilst the foul ulcers within th: lungs were unmo
lested. Inhiflation brings the medicine in direct
contact with the disease, without the disadvantage
of any violent action. Its application is so sim
ple that it can be employed by the youngest infant
or feeblest invalid. It dees not derange the sto
mach, or interfere in the least degree with the
strength, comfort, or business of the patient.
OTHER DISEASES TREATED. —In relation
to the lollowingd senses, either when complicated
with lung affections or existing alone, 1 also invito
consultation. I usually find them promptly curable.
Prolapsus and aft other forms of female com
plaints, irregularities, aud weaKness.

THE LITER IMTCGOIMTOR.
PREPARED BV DK. JSANFOHD. '
Compounded entirely from CIIIMB,
TS ONE OF THE BEST PURGATIVE AND
_L LIVER MEDICINES now before the, public,
that acts as a Cathartic, caster, nirkler, and more
effectual than any other ntfed'cifte known. It is not
only a Cathartic, but a Liter remedy, acting first
on the Liter to eject its morbid matter, then on the
stomach and bowels to carry off that matter, thus
accomplishing two purposes effectually, without
any of the painful feelings experienced in the op
erations of most Cathartic lt strengthens the
system at the same time that ft purges ft? and
when taken daily in moderate doses, will strength
en and build it up with unusual rapidity.
The Liver is one of tiie principal regulators of
the human body, and when it peiforras its functions
well the powers of the system are fully developed.
The stomach is almost entirely dependent on the
healthy action of the Liver for the proper perform
ance of its functions. When the stomach is at
ault, the bowels are at fault, and the whole system
sutlers in consequence of one organ—the Liver—
having ceased to do its duty. For the disease of
that organ, our of (he proprietors lias made it his
study, in a practice of more than twenty years, to
find some remedy wherewith to counteract the ma

Ami who that is gray would not have it restored'
to former color or bald but vrould have the growth
restored, or tronbled with dandruff 1 and itching but
would have it,removed, or troubled with. scrofula,
scald head, or other eruptions, but would be cured,
or with sick head ache, (neuralgia) but would be
cured. It will also remove all pimples from the
face and skin. Prof. Wood's Ilair. Restorative will
do all tliis, see circular and the following.
ANN ARBOR, November 6, 1850
PROF. O. J. WOOD— Dear Sir; I have heard much
said of ttie wonderful effects of your Hair Restora
tive, but having been so often che ited by quackery 1
and quack hair dyes, I was dispos
ed to pi ice your Restorative in the same category
with the thousand and one loudly trumpeted quack
remedies, until I met you in Lawrence county some
months since, when you gave me such assurance
as induced the trial of your Restorative in my
family—first by my good wife, whose liait had be
come very thin and entirely white, and before ex
hausting one of your large botties, her hair was re
stored nearly to its original beautiful brown color,
and had thickened and become beautiful and glossy
upon, and entirely over the head; she continries to
use it, not simply because of its beautifying ofiVcts
upon the hair, but because Of its healthful influ
ence upon the head andmiud. Others of my family
and friends are using your Restorative, with tiie
happiest effects; therefore, my skepticism and
doubts in reference to its character and value are <
! entirely removed ; and I can and do most cordially
and confidentially recoaiend its use by all who would
t have their hair restored from white or gray (by
reason of sickness or age,) to original color and
beauty, and by all young persons who woul I have
; their hair beautiful and glossy.
\ cry truly and grafefullv vours,
SOLOMON MANN
FRIEND WOOD; It was a long time after I saw you
at Blissfield before I got the bottle of Restorative
for which you gave me an order upon your agent in
Detroit, and when I got it wo conelu led to try it on
Mrs. Mann's hair, as the surest test of its power.
It has done all that yu assured toe it would do ;
and others of my family and friends, having wit
ncssed its effects, are now using and recommend
ing its use to others as entitled to the highest con
sideration you claim for it.
Again, very respectfully and trulv, vours.
SOLOMON MANN.
CARLYLE, 111, Juue 28,180 i.
I have used Prof. O. J. Wood's Hotr Restorative,
and have admired its wonderful effects. My hair
was becoming, as I thought, prematurely gray, but
by the use of his Restorative it has resumed its
origiual color, and, 1 have no doubt, permanently '
so.
