INDIAN MASSACRE IN IOWA.
April 4.—lt is stated in a
from a reliable source, da-
Fort Dodge, lowa, March 23d, that
of twenty families on the
of the Des Moines River, had
■HBjattacked by Indians and it is suppo
■HP the settlers murdered. Only two
■'lUpings were visited by the persons
HBng the news, but in these fourteen
dead bodies were found, some having been
shot, and others clubbed. It is presumed
the whole segment was killed or carried
into captivity. A meeting of citizens was
called at Fort Dodge on the 22d, and a
company of 50 to 100 would immediately
march to the rescue of the prisoners and
to take vengeance on the Indians.
A YOUNG WIFE MURDERED.
Louisville, April 4. —Our community
is much excited in consequence of the
j discovery of a most cruel murder, which
! appears to have been committed on Thurs
: day night. The name of the person mur
dered is Mary Travers, a beautiful and ac
' complished girl of only 24 years of age,
who had been married but about eight
months. Her husband, who is supposed
to have committed the horrid deed, was
found lying beside the dead body of his
wife in bed He had also attempted to
commit suicide by cutting his throat, but
his injuries are not believed to be serious.
ANOTHER TRAGEDY.
Louisville, April 4.—lntelligence has
been received here of a startling tragedy
which occurred at Washington, in this
state, yesterday. A Mr. Baker, a resident
of that town, armed himself, and deliber
ately took the life of his own daughter, af
ter which he placed the death weapon to
his own breast and SIKH himself. No
cause has been assigned as yet for the
dreadful tragedy.
FEMALE RIOTERS TRIED AND ACQUITTED.
At the late term of the Court of Com
mon Pleas of Richland county, Ohio, the
case that created most interest, as we learn
from the Mansfield Herald , was one in
which several ladies were indicted and tri
ed for riot. It appears that some time in
November last the ladies of the village of
Belleville, in that county, to the number of
eleven, some of whom having fathers and
some brothers, who frequented a liquor
shop kept by a man named Morris, resolv
ed to put an end to the cause of their troub
les, and did so by smashing his casks
and decanters, and destroying the liquors.
They were complained of by Morris, and
were indicted as before stated- This case
came on for hearing, and being arraigned
at the bar plead •' not guilty." Numer
ous witnesses were examined, and the case
occupied somejhree d ays. The jury was
duly charged by the court and retired. In
about an hour the l-ll rung announcing
that they had agreed upon their verdict;
and the people, who hid manifested the'
most interest, crowding the court room du
ring the whole trial rushed from all parts
of ihe town, so that the court room would
scarcely hold. When the foreman of the
jury rose to hand in the verdict, the most
breathless silence prevailed; and when he
responded to the clerk, "not guilty," the
words were caught up, and such shout
ing. clapping, laughing and shaking of
hands was never before witnessed in that
dignified ball ol justice. Although late at
night the young men of Belleville could
not wail for the morning or the cars, but
fooled it home to tell the news. When
the ladies arrived the next day, they were
received with every demonstration of ap
proval by all the inhabitants ot the vil
lage. Sandusky llegister.
Destructive Fires. —The residence of
Henry Warsing, in Brush Creek Valley,
this county, was, we learn, entirely de
siroyed by fire one night last week. The
inhabitants were asleep at the tune and
escaped being burnt to death by a singular
circumstance. It appears that there were
:n the house two kiadcd guns, which the
lire in i'.s progress reached and caused to
discharge. The explosion aroused the
inmates, who found the lire had made such
progress as to barely admit of their escape.
Mr. Warsing, we understand, after getting
out ot the house, procured a ladder and
entered again by an upper window in time
to secure some valuable papers and some
-money belonging to persons for whom he
is guardian. Everything else, we believe,
was consumed.
Another destructive fire occurred on
Thursday morning, 2(>th nit., by which
the dwelling of Mr. John Swope, about
half a mile West of Col. Reamer's, i-i
this county, was consumed with all its
contents. 'The fire originated from the
fine at the roof, and the wind being high,
spread with such rapidity, that the family,
consisting of the parents and several small
children, barely escaped with their lives.
Mr. Swope is a shoemaker by trade, and
loses by the fire all his stock, tools, books,
&-c., making bis loss very severe.—

Horrible Murder in Washington comi
ty.— Chartiers township, Washington
county, Fa., was the scene of a most cru
el murder last week, which has created an
excitement almost equal to the sudden ta
king otT of young Norcross at Altoona.—
A highly esteemed citizen, named iSamuel
White, had purchased a tract of land, and
on Monday was to make a payment of
S4OOO on the same, and the expectation
of getting this booty, it is supposed, incit
ed the villain or villains to commit the
dreadful deed. Early in the morning, Mrs.
White had arisen, and hearing somebody
in the liouse, ran to a neighbor for assis
tance. When she returned she discovered
her husband weltering in his blood—his
skull crushed, his neck almost severed,
and otherwise disfigured. The bloody axe
with which the outrage had been commit
ted lay upon the floor. The money thev
expected to get was not in the house; con
sequently they reaped no reward for their
dreadful crime. No arrests have yet been
made. •
Sad Snicidc. —A Pittsburg paper states
that a young man of that city named James
Beale, 22 years of age, was so depressed in
spirits from having, contrary to his general
habits, become intoxicated, that on Wednes
day he swallowed four ounces of arsenic, and
though proper antidotes were applied, died
early the next morning.
Letter from Philadelphia# „
PHILADELPHIA, April 6.
Hero is a curiosity, illustrating the sad
truth that great gilts are sometimes coupled
with great vices: In the interior of our peni
tentiary there are two cells, the interior walls
of which are painted in water colors, in a
manner so elaborately beautiful as to cause
an involuntary wish on the part of the visi
tor that the chamber of his or her residence
could bo similarly adorned. The work was
performed by a convict at odd intervals of
leisure. The qnly tools at his command were
a ruler, lead pencil, and a small brush, which,
it is said, he made from his own hair. The
pattern is kaliedoscopic, interspersed with
rich inedalions; the effect of the whole being,
with the exception of transparency, very sim
ilar to that ot stained glass. The four sides
of the cell, and the aftdied roof, are alike
covered. Over the brass water fawoet, which,
by the way is burnished like a mirror, there
is painted a water cooler, aud at the place
where his cot touches the wall is represented
the head of a fashionable bedstead; all this is
executed in a highly artistic manner, arid
will hear close examination. Tho convict
who performed this beautiful work has al
ready served four years in this same prison;
and, strange to say, is now in Moyamensirig
awaiting trial upon a fifth serious charge.
lie v. Dr. Stephens, the Rector of tSt An
drew's church, of this city, is about to pav a
visit to Palestine, and for tho expenses of
travel was presented with a purse of £I,BOO
by several wealthy and liberal members of
his parish.
On Wednesday evening a young man seem
ingly about 115 yoars of age, arrived at tho
Girard House from New York, and registered
his name as "11. J. Johnson, Va." During
the evening he was in company with a gen
tleman of this city, and at aho'ut 11 o'clock
retired. A short time after he went to his
room, a gentleman occupying the adjoining j
chamber heard a noise as if some one was in
great pain or distress. lie went to the door
and found it was locked. He knocked, but :
the person in the room did not unlock it,
when it was forced open by three persons
who had been attracted to the door. On en
tering the room, Johnson was found undres
sed, lying across the bed, and apparently in
the greatest agony. On a table was a vial, ;
labelled in large letters, "strychnine." The !
occupant of the room when asked if ho had ;
taken the poison, said yes, but that he had j
doue so thinking it was morphine, he having j
slept badly for several nights, and had taken •
it merely to make him sleep well. A physi- ;
ciau was in attendance, hut nothing could be i
done to save the patient, and he died almost
immediatoiy. The shirt worn by the deceas
ed was marked J. Alfred llnlsey, and the
gentleman who was with him previous to his
retiring to bed, testified before the jury of
inquest, that Halsey was his proper name,
and that he was engaged in the carpet store 1
of Messrs. Brown & Co., Courtland street, '
New York. The father of the deceased re- I
sides in Petersburg, Va., where he is engaged
in the wholesale clothing business.
The entrance of Christ into Jerusalem was i
celebrated by the Catholic population of this |
city on the oth with the usual ceremonies.—
The emblematic "palm" was to be seen in
the hands of the congregations of those
churches at almost e\ery step, and this will
constitute but the preliminary observances
of "Holy Week," now curreut. The obser
vance in some of the churches of other de
nominations were also unusually interesting.
The Episcopal churches generally exhibited
some tokens of the season of fasting and of j
the "passion," if in no other manner at j
in the greater apparent devotion of their (
members. The German Lutheran Church at i
Fifth and Cherry streets, was also the scene I
of an impressive ceremony on this occasion.
150 boys and girls, 11 >ne under fourteen years
of age, were eoulirraed there yesterday morn
ing.. The girls were dressed in white, arid
when around the altar responding to the
questions of the minister, presented a very
pretty sight. An appropriate sermon was
delivered. The children confirmed will have
the sacrament administered to them on Fri
day next. A largo crowd assembled outside,
to see the children as they came from the
church.
The amount of grain measured at this port
from the Ist of January to the Ist inst. is
thus given: Wheat, 51), IGO bushels; corn,
276,000 bushels; rye, 11,010 bushels; oats,
47,275 bushels; barley malt, 10,400 bushels;

405,945 bushels. During the same period in
1850, the amount measured was 505,177
bushels, being an excess of 95,232 bushels
over the first three months of 1857.

Important Caution to Druggists and Her*
chants in General.
Whereas, one William Leilh, late of the city
I of New York, drug broker, has recently been
| engaged in the nefarious and unlawful business
ol counterfeiting the medicines known i brougb
: out the world as Holloway's Pills and Hollo
way's Ointment, and ordered to be printed, un
der false pretences and for fraudulent purposes,
500,000 copies of the book or pamphlet of di
rections around each box and pot.
And whereas, the counterfeit book rr pam
phlet is well calculated to deceive, being a fac
simile of the original, except so far as regards
the water-mark in the paper, viz "Holloway,
New York and London," which appears on ev
ery leaf of'he genuine document, but can only
be seen by holding the paper between the eye
and the light.
And whereas, the aforesaid William Leith,
having been arrested, and fully charged, on ex
amination before Justice Connolly, with procu
ring the ptinting and uttering of the above
counterfeits, escaped from the custody of the
officers on the 2tlth day of December, 1856, and
is now a fugitive from justice, and is supposed
to be pursuing his dishonorable and felonious
designs elsewhere.
The Druggists of the various cities, towns
and villages of the United Slates are therefore
hereby cautioned against dealing with the afore
said William Leith for any articles purporting
to be llollovvay's Pills and Holloway's 0")t
--ment, or purchasing any preparations bearing
that name from any quarter, unless the leaves
of the pamphlets wrapped around the boxes
and pots containing the same shall bear the
words " Holloway, New York and London," in
the form of a water-mark which can be distin
guished by holding up the printed sheet singly
to the light. All others are counterfeit, and all
persons vending them are liable to heavy pen
alties, and will be prosecuted to conviction by
the proprietor of the genuine preparations, as
the only means of guarding his own interests
and protecting the public against damage to
health and life from the use of deleterious ar
ticles sold under the guaranty of his name and
reputation. The said Leith is a Scotchman by
birth, about 35 years of age, of good address,
deep-toned voice, florid complexion, light hair
and thin whiskers, gray eyes, standing about 5
feet 85 inches, and somewhat inclined to cor
pulency.
