At Pittsburg you will find numeroussteam boats, destined fur dificrcnt places on the western rivers,. Oo on board all the boats destined for the place you intend to visit, or call at; the ac commodations are generally good, and the price of fare will not vary much; but choose a boat whose captain is affable and genteel, nut habitually profane. You will get a cabin passage to St. Louis for $2O, and in proportion for any other dis tance. When you have selectee) a boat, Register your name and .pluce of destination; arid as .the dunce of berths is allowed as the names are registered, choose one as far back in.the cabin as you can; examine the '‘roles" and regulations” uf.the boat, and observe them. , In all the western fuwns and cities there are,good boarding houses, where you will 1 be well served for or f,95 per days—at the "principal Hotels, it will cost you more..

Tragedy in Real is seldom "flial. we are called op on to recoil SO shocking a ' murder as was committed On tile Eastern Shore of Maryland, tm the 4th iris!., ihrf de*- tails of which have! been -furnished to us by ■ a letter tinder date of the stli instant, from Georgy Town Gross Roads, KeiVtcounfy.— The victim was Mtk James P. Wroth,* and the perpetrator-of the fo u I *1 eed Edga r narn, son of a'widow lady now residing in Philadelphia.' The moving cause of the hnr rid’event was jealousy, so truly described by the masterspirit of the drama, us “the green eyed monster, which doth make the-meat it feeds on.’’ It appears that New cam, while on a.visit to that neighborhood, became ac*- cjuainted with a young lady by the name cf Lavinia Finer, daughter of the late B. Pirter; of Kent county. Intercourse tebded to in crease the pas'sion of iovc which had bee4’ slumbering in his’bosom, arid the sanve Inter*- course assured him that his passion was on*- requited. In the mead time- he perceive;! an intimacy between Miss Piner’and the'un fbrtunate deceased, and TeVeiige seized his soul. In an interview with Miss P. he sta ted his feelings, and concluded by asserting that he would satiate his re\ehge either on Miss Pined or Mr. Wroth. When the hour tor tea arrived, they all assembled, and New ham and \Vroll) took seats’ together irt the table, apparently oh goOd terms.' Tlicy fc mained togetherin the room until-'lO o'clock-. Newnam thin lelired, apparentlyAvii'u.'the intention of going to bed, in company 'With ' Pennington. He however, did'-not-go'to bed-, but remained out of doors sometime,'-'and then came into the room where -Pennington was and endeavored to open his trluik. fie succeeded finally in this, and taking from it • a buttle, he swallowed some liquor, and smacking his lips observed, "nowT will try again.’? He then went out, and in a very short time came t(f;th«*-«'H»(l<)\y of. the robin in which Wroth was sit’ing with the familyv -including three females, and presenting a gun,~witlrdetsberatc aim fired, and literally blowcd the head of the unfortunate victim tri atoms—the brains were scattered all over the room, and those who were sitling croijndv Miss Lavinia was sitting on a low chair irt* line With the shot, which passed-over her, arid the supposition is that the desiga Was to kill both by the same discharge. Immedi ately upon firing, Newriam ran to the room where Pennington was ifi bed, arid exclaim ed “IJia-ve done it.” P.asked “dude what? rt ami N. replied, "killed Wroth.” He irisis- - ted upon being arrested, arid followed Pen nington-toTlib’door of-the-rbom-'and ask-e'd if~ Wroth-, was dead. He was shortly aflcrtied hand and I foot, and taken to Gfosterfh'.vft jail- He did not express much regret at the occurrence, until he-. Spok- of- his mother; ' wheri remorso seemed to seize him. A'coroner’s jury set upon the body of tls4 deceased, who gave a verb ret iti a'ccuidunc# with the above facta.— FuU.'Sun. SNOW—A MATTER OF REqORT>.
