There were but 77 interments in the different city came• billies during the past week. We have had several murders in our city since the date of our last. A German, named Henry Meyers, a - carpenter by trade, was shot and killed by a band of burglars. The • villains also shot at an officer as he approached the scene of blood, the ball grazing the skin of the neck of the offi .cer. The murderer's name is Henry Dugan. Five of the band have been arrested. On the following day — a man named Frederick William Bmidt was found dead in his room, having his throat cut from ear to ear. His room-mate, a German, name unknown, has not been seen since, and there is no doubt but that .he committed the murder. The officers are on his track, and will no doubt arrest him in a few days. Besides these, there have been others, found dead, and it is supposed that the hand of the assassin has done the work. But our laws are so loose that ninety-nine out of a hundred never get their deserts. John L. Eversileld wag robbed a few nights since of a considerable amount, whilst asleep in a state-room on a steamboat. The steamer Castle Garden while in a gale of wind, above Cairo, sunk in deep water. She had on board 6000 bags of 'corn and twenty head ofrhorses. The horses were saved, but the cargo is reported almost a total loss. Lola Montez, the Countess of Landefelt, is now lecturing, to the people of the city, on the peculiarities of the English character, as observed by herself. The subject of her first lecture (Friday night) was "John Bull at Home." She had a very large and respectable audience, and all seemed pleased with the lecture. Our Legislature has done comparatively nothing since its convening. The Free Negro Bill has been pasted. The Itairead Bill, to give further aid to the different roads of this State, will be takes up this week. There seems to be a strong feeling against further aid, but the friends of the bill claims that it will pees. The great $lOO,OOO breach of promise case—Carztang vs. Shaw, Is now progressing in the Court of Commoiz Pleas. A Jury has been secured. It embraces many men who don't read newspapers, don't take any, never heard of Henry Show, newr heard of Miss Carztang. It Is said that the costs of this suit have already run np to $lO,OOO. The slave, Lewis, who recently murdered Dr. Reitt, of Florida, has been tried, found guilty and immediately hung. He confessed hie guilt, but he refused to make any statement implicating others, though it was evident he had not, performed the - diabolical act alone. He expressed no sorrow for having committed the awful crime, and viewed the preparations for his execution with stolid indifference. The friends of Judge Bates have given publicity to the •statement that be had emancipated his slaves. So far from this being the case, it is undeniable that they ran away from him, and he used every means in his power to recapture them. Thus,it leaks out, that from a philan thropist and an emancipationist he becomes a "slave catcher" and a " kidnapper." Hats the man that sear Black Republicans want to make the Chicago nominee. Is he not a pretty standard-bearer for the Abolition party. No consistent Black Republican can vote for him iu Convention or out of it. Last Saturday was laid out as a great day for St. Louis. Business men and retail dealers had their stores re-painted and their shelves re-arranged, for the occasion, thinking I tbat 40, 000, 000 peoplewou ld be in our city to participate iq the grand •! State" Convention of the Abolitionists, 'and that their sales would far exceed their stocks—some of them had their mosey drawers , enlarged, and a police force engaged to prevent any over-crowding or undue dis turbance whilst making their purchases. The Morning came, the sun as usual rose clear and bright, and retail dealers imagined themselves rich. Twelve o'clock arrived, the hour for calling the Convention to order, but no 40,- 000,000 people had arrived. The leaders of this grand burlesque thought it heat to postpone the calling of the Convention until 2 o'clock, which was dose. Two o'clock came, and not fifty persons made their appearance. They waited a little longer, but no more came. The getters up of this grand scheme, feeling sore at the'sorry sight before them, determined to make a start, if it proved to be the last act of their political lives. A.dozen more of our citizens entered, and B. Gratz Brown sons chosen chairman, with the usual number of Vice Presidents and Secretaries. Mr. Brown stated the object of the Convention to be the select ion of eighteen delegates to represent the great State of Missouri—the Border Ruffians—ln the Chicago Convention:" He said it was the first strike for freedom in a slave State —which proved to be s grand fizzle. We have seen city conventions, indeed ward meetings, five times more nu merously attended than this State Convention. He eulogized the Abolition muse and wished it God speed, if they could not carry their point in Missouri, they could do so in patriotic Massriehusetts, where dwells the immor tal Banks! After organization, a committee was appointed to draft a platform for the Republican party of the nation. They retired to an ante-room for that purpose. At this stage of the proceediqgs there were not over one hundred persons present—including National Democrats—who were more numerous than the opposition—Know Nothings, shouting for Bates—Old Line Whigs, disgusted at the use of the name of Edward Bates—Union men, laughing in their sleeves at the burlesque going on—nondescripts, first in favor of, and then opposed to everything that was done. We will here state, for the information of the Black Re publicans abroad, that nevertheless this was styled a "Black Republican State Convention," there was not a single delegate elected from any county In the State, to it. Our city always contains from 1000 to 3000 strangers, and of course, from different parts of the State, and nowith standing this fact, there were not a dozen, outside of our citizens participated with-the hundred men composing the Convention, and this dozen who did participate, were sympathizers with Mr. Bates—they would vote for him but for no one else nominated at Chicago. Even St Louis elected no delegates to this State Convention, nor did a single county in the State! It was composed of a hetero geneous mass of office-seeking politicians. Every body was allowed to - participate, and we believe all in the con vention had something to say. During the absence of the Committee—which was two long hours— patching up a platform for the Republicans of the nation to stand upon —the empty benches were addressed by a few young men —none of them having ever cast more than one vote, and all of them after an office in the event of Edward Bates being elected President! Men from Illinois and other States participated, and helped to make up the crowd. Messengers were time and again sent after the committee, butt without effect. Time rolled on, the empty benches became dusty, and the few who lingered to bear the reso lutions became very uneasy—fearing a collision had oc curred—that the committee were in trouble, as to whether it would best meet the approbation of the Convention to send delegates to Chicago or to Baltimore—some contended that It would be best to send two setts—one to the former and one to the latter—so anxious are they for Bates, nonal natiOn—(that is the true friends of Bates)—that they may get the offices after his election. But the anti-Bates men thought the best way to kill him off, would be to send them- to Chicago—knowing that he stands no earthly -chance ttrei at the same time, if his name is presented at Chicago, Bates' friends will have to vote for the nominee. Such was the ruling, and such a resolution was .penned. The committee returned and reported the Platform of -the Black Republican party of the nation. The resolutions were all read, but upon the adoption of the resolutions , the fun commenced. The resolution endorsing Bates was ,objected to by Mr. Pinner, editor of a German newspaper in Kansas city. Mr. Daenzer, editoi of the St. Louis Post, Another German paper took the same ground. Great cdofusion ensued. Mr. Pinner then offered the following amendment, abd supported it in a lengthy and able speech: He said it was nonsense for the Republicans to think that Edward Bates or any other Black Republican could carry Missouri. He ridiculed the idea, and was hissed for the assertion. He said Missouri should not dictate to the Chicago Convention—that such dictation came from a bad quarter—Missouri had no claims upon the Chicago Convention. He was opposed to any man that, did not support Fremont in 1856—be wan ted an out and out Black or no one. He nor his German friends could not go for Bates, and he deprecated the reading of a resolution . endorsing Bates as the first choice of Missouri, when St. Louis is the only county where Black Republicanism exists, and even here the party is composed of Germans = it would not do to drive the Germans from the ticket by nominating Edward Bates, a man who has never cast a Republican vote. Ho wanted a man who stood right on the geode in 18561 The following is the substitute thr the resolution: Resolved, That the delegates of the Republican party of Missouri have no preferred candidate for President of the 'United "States, and that our delegates to Chicago shall not cast their votes for any candidate who does not stand fairly and square upon the Philadelphia platform of 1856. The rubstitute, by a close vote—(after the friends of Bates had gone out in the etreets and called in a dozen men)—was voted down, and the original Bates resolution was then adopted, amid cheers and hisses. The committee an resolutions overlooked Mr. Frank Blair, but some gen_ tleman in the Convention, °Tared a resolution compliment ary to the dletingaiihed Black Rep nblican. The question then arose as to an electoral ticket—one gentleman wanted inch a ticket whether Mr. Bates was nominated or not. The editor of the German Poet of this city, was also 4n favor of it. IN referred to the "opposition" convention last week atJefferson City, and said they selected delegates to the Baltimore Union Convention, and more thita likely Ni. Bates would be "their first choice." Another gentleman .thought it best not to select electors until after the Union Convention at Baltimore. The edi tor of the Pliit hoped the Republican party could do without this oPposltion icarty—(we think, in a horn)—he hoped the Chicago , Co caution would nominate a candidate, that will not suit the - Old'ine Whig: and Know Nothings. (That they 11111,1 most 'tertainly,do, and that man will be William. H. Beiyard. Theeditor - 6( the Missouri Democrat jumped to his if - eats sititked the gentleman if he would 'rota for Binlßaies if . `nominated at Chicago, th e reply was that he would neither vole far, or his paper support Mr—Bates, if nominated, and mrsonsideration would induce him to do so. - The names of the committee to select delegates to the Chicago Convention was then announced, and Mr. Pinner again took the floor and denounced the Chair Cornet putting a German on it. Hedid not know what to think of this studied exclusion of his countrymen, who, it was well known, - form the bulk of the Repuglican party. Great con fusion again prevailed. One of the gentlemen offered to ensign. his place to Mr. Pinner, and several' said it was accidental, but - Mr. P. said the same kind . of an accident had happened Ave times during the sitting of the redven tion. That was a fact well substantiated, and no one denied the assertion. A resolution to add two Germane to the committee, was adopted, and Mr. Pinner and Dr. Bernays, of the Anseiger were the lucky individuals; a motion was then made to add three Irishmen, but the idea was ridiculed. After retiring for an hour, the commi.tee re potted the names of the delegateti. A Central Committee was next elected. "A 'gentleman, insisted that the mem bers of the Central Committee the city should consist of Germans. A resolution was then offered, instructing the delegates to Chicago to vote,as a ling. Mr. Pinner again objected. If he went he was going to Chicago un fettered, and could not vote for Mr. Bates. The resolution finally passed, and whereupon Mr; Pinner withdrew his name from the list of delegates, and Mr. Mneach also withdrew, amidst the greatest confusion. Before their places were filled the Convention adjourned sine die. The delegates probably stand 12 Pro-Bates and 6 Re-pro-Bates. Here, then, at the very door of Edward Bates, be has almost been swallowed up—annihilated, where there ought not to have been a dissenting voice. The resolution pre fering him on the first choice of the Blacks, came within two or three votes of being defeated. This was certainly the grandest fizzle we have ever-seen, and the men who par ticipated are ashamed of it, and say they have mistaken the strength of Mr. Bates, and all seem satisfied now, that Bates would be the weakest man the party could possibly nominate. This Convention has politically killed Mr. Bates, if it has not the "great and formidable Black Ee publican party of Missouri." This move will again divide Germans and the Know Nothings in this State—the Know* Nothings were only trying to catch the Germans on the Bates hook, but they have at last found out that the bate won't take. Judge Bates stands no better chance of chang ing this State than Seward, Chase or Cameron. They will now make an attempt to persuade Bates to accept the Vire Presidency, but Bates will see them all on the " other side of Jordan," before he 'would be .further humbugged in that way—he is not one of that stripe—it is the whole hog or none with him. This, we think, is the last you will hear of the " Bates movement," it has fizzled out in the very midst of his friends—the great State Convention is over, our people again breathe freer, and the boy is named SEINARD." The dilssouri Democratic State Convention convenes at Jefferson City on the 9th of April, to nominate a State ticket and elect delegates to the Charleston Convention. We have one hundred and five counties in the State, seventy of which have already elected delegates, and the balance will do so in the next ten days. There will be upwards of 700 delegates in the Convention. Surmises are numerous as to who will be the candidates for Gover nor and Lieut. Gov. Our opinion is that the ticket will be C. F. JACKSON and THOS. C. REYNOLDS, and that the Charleston delegates will vote for Hon. Jas. S. GILEEN on the first ballot. BALLOON ASCENSION AT SAVANNAH, 0A...-PERILOUS SITUATION OF THE 2ERONAUTS. The mronaut Cevor, with a companion named Dalton, made a balloon ascension at Savannah, Ga., on Friday week. The following account of their adventures we find in the Republican of Monday, showing that although their aerial trip was short yet the end ap proached rather too near the tragical : After leaving the city a few miles behind them, the balloon entered a current which bore it to the eastward, and hence directly out to sea. The greatest altitude attained was between 2?r and 21 miles at which point the view of both earth and water was entirely shut out. Seeing nothing and borne along on the rapid current of air, all was perfectly still, and the mronauts unconscious of motion though going at the rate of over three miles to the minute. The roar of the ocean, though, was distinctly heard from beneath, and just then they entered another current that bore them rather more northward. It was deter- mined to descend and take the chances rather than be carried far out to sea. The valve was opened for the escape of the gas and the grappling iron thrown out to the full length of the cord, 200 feet. The balloon descended rapidly and the anchor finally attached itself to a tree on Daufuskie Island. So great, however, was the force of the current that the cable snapped like a thread, and the balloon suddenly mounted up to a great height and moved off in a north-easterly, direction, towards Calla boga Sound, which, though several miles in width, had the appearance of a very narrow stream. To descend in the Sound and risk an encounter with the water, or be carried out to sea with all its uncertainties, became the only alternatives. Mr. Cevor decided promptly on the former, but so rapid was the flight of the balloon that he had to act promptly in order to strike the Sound. The valve was raised and the air ship came .down, as Mr. Cevor informs us, with almost the velocity of a cannon ball, gaining momentum in its pas sage. It struck the water with immense force, completely submerging the voyagers.— In going down, however, Mr. Cevor, had the presence of mind to dip his car so as to enter the water edgewise, and thus, in some measure, break the force of the concussion. On rising to the surface and finding them selves unhurt, Mr. Cevor and his companion becMne composed and set to work deliberately to save themselves and the balloon. They had lost their ballast, provisions, everything in the descent, and the great point was to prevent the balloon from rising out of the water. A heavy gale was prevailing in the Sound, and they were between five and six miles from shore. By keeping one edge of the car under water it would afford sufficient resistance to answer the purpose of ballast.— This was done by Mr. Cevor, while Mr. Dal ton took his stand on the ring to which the netting is attached, which kept the bottom of the balloon on the surface. In this condition, and often submerged to their chins, the balloon was made to answer the purpose of a tow in taking them to land. Eventually they approached a marsh and discovered persons on the beach looking with apparent astonishment at the strange spectacle. Mr. Cevor and his companion cried for help at the top of their voices, and soon a boat manned by negroes and their overseer, Mr. George Savage, was despatched to their aid. The boat came up just before they reached the marsh, and now the great object was to discharge the gas, and save the balloon.— Mr. Cevor and Mr. Dalton both took hold of the cord, and in the confusion pulled so bard as to break it short off below the valve, whereupon the latter closed and the balloon rushed into the marsh and got wholly beyond their control. Mr. Dalton became entangled in the cords which became twisted around him, and had to take out his pocket knife and cut his way out in order to extricate himself.— The balloon then commenced to ascend rapidly, Mr. Cevor in the car, and he only saved him self by leaping out when at a distance of twenty-five or thirty feet from the earth. He fell into the water and mud and was uninjured. The balloon shot off like an arrow towards the sea and in the space of a minute was out of sight. Thus ended the perilous adventure. The balloon, worth some $7OO, is a total loss to Mr. Cevor, though under all the circum stances we consider the party as exceedingly fortunate to have escaped with their lives. The speed with which this journey was made is wonderful. The point where the balloon struck the water is forty miles from Savannah, and they reached it at 5.20 ; they ascended precisely at 5.07, so they were just thirteen minutes in traversing the distance. ACCOMMODATIONS IN CHARLESTON.—The Washington Star of Friday, in an article on the rumored " gouging"charges of the Charleston landlords, says : We hear that a party of Washington gentlemen have an agent now at the North looking up a suitable steam ship to carry to Charleston those who may design attending from here. She is to be capable of affording first-class state room accommodations for two hundred persons at least, and the charge for the passage there and back and board while there, will be about $75, which is in the neighborhood of the cost of the railroad fare there and back. We advise all who propose attending from this immediate neighborhood, to await the adver— tisement of this vessel, ere making definite arrangements for the trip. IMPROVEMENT IN HOOP SEIRTB.-DOUGLAS & SHERWOOD, of New York, the pioners of the Hoop Skirt business, have just brought out a new style of Skirt, called the " Belle of the South," which is said to be the most elegant and perfect made. A peculiar feature of this Skirt is that it is made without clasps, and is not therefore liable to get out of order. THE RICHEST COUNTY IN THE 'UNITED STATES.-It is probable that Brazora county, Texas, is the richest in the Union in propor tion to the number of its population. Accord ing to the last Comptroller's report, if the property of thitt county should be equally divided among its voters, there would be something more than $13,000 to each man. UNNATURAL CRUELTY-STARVING A MOTHER TO DEATIL-A man named Willis Graves, living in Cleveland, Ohio, has been detected in the barbarous crime of attempting to starve his mother to death. From The Cleveland Herald of the 14th, we gather the following particulars : The son has recently married a second time, since which occurrence both he and his wife have treated the mother in the most inhuman manner. -About this time-she was removed from her former chamber to a small back one; in which she has . been ever since, and here she would have shortly died in destitution and want had not the community been so roused up as to compel a change fur the better. The furniture of - this room has been a bed, a table and one chair, and these of the cheapest and commonest kind. The stove had been so long neglected that it' was as rusty as an anchor and everything was of the meanest possible description. Some six weeks ago, Mrs. Graves was so reduced as to be confined to her bed, and there she was suffered to lie, day after day, with no one to sit with her, no one to.cheer her, no one to care for her. She had lain on this - bed, too weak to move or help herself, day and night, totally neglected except once a 'day, at noon, when she was tended for a few minutes by two German women and a bit of dry toast given her to eat, and with this bit of toast as her only meal in twenty four hours she has wasted away until she is now a bare skeleton. It will seem incredible that a son and daughter could so forget all the principles of love, affection or common humanity as to thus , systematically drag an aged parent down to the grave, and were not the evidence too strong to be disputed, no one could credit the story. The evidences of the cruelty were all around her, for on her miserable bed was no sign of a sheet, but she lay on the bare straw bed until festering sores covered her back and limbs, and she was totally neglected in her bed, when too weak to move, for three days. When her son was remonstrated with for hie unnatural conduct, he• sneeringly asked, " What is the use of taking bread from the living and giving it to tine three quarters dead ?" Mrs. Graves was promptly rescued from her miserable situation. THE EXECUTION AT CHARLESTOWN CHARLESTOIVN, Va., March 16.—The town was thronged with visitors to-day anxious to witness the execution of Stevens and Hazlett. The sentence of the law was put into effect at noon. Both the condemned appeared resigned to their fate, and exhibited great firmness and resignation. Stevens died very hard, but Hazlett expired without a struggle. The condemed declined all the proffered attentions from the ministry, and there were no religious ceremonies on the gallows or during their confinement. They were both Spiritualists and had a peculiar religion of their ; own, which enabled them to meet their fate withcheerfulness and resignation. Theit bodies have been forwarded to the care of Marcus Spring, South Amboy, N. J., and will reach Baltimore in the early morning train. OLD GUARD SW" Dr. I. I. Hayes, Surgeon of the Kane Artic Expedition, hopes to be ready for a start in the month of May next for another voyage to the North Pole. Dr. Hayes has already raised the $lO,OOO, one half of the necessary sum from the generous contribu tions of his personal friends, and hopes to secure the rest from the liberal public at large. To assist him in his endeavor, the Geographi cal and Statistical Society have appointed a Committee of leading merchants and other well known citizens (among them Henry Grinnell,) and there is reason to hope that the appeal will not be in vain. The special object of Dr. Hayes' proposed expedition is to determine at once and forever the question of an open Polar sea, which Lieut. Morton saw and the existence of which would seem to be established by a variety of circumstantial evidence. This sea Dr. Hayes hopes to reach by making the principal portion of the trip on dog-sledges—vehicles by which he and his associates rode over a thousand miles on the previous expedition. THE BLACK REPUBLICANS AND THE IRISH CITIZENS.—The following specimen of bigotry and intolerance is from Helper's infamous book. which all the leading Republicans in Congress endorsed, and which Wm. H. Sew ard gave a special recommendation : "With the intelligent Protestant element of the Father land (Germany) on our side, we can well afford to dispense with the ignorant Catholic'element of the Emerald Isle. In the influences which they exert on society, there is so little difference between Slavery, Popery, and Negro driving Democracy, that we are not at all aurprised to see them going hand in hand in \their diabolical work of inhuman. ity and desolation,"—Helper's Impending Crisis:, page 83. BLACK. REPUBLICAN OPPOSITION TO PROTEC TION.—The New York Evening Post, edited by Bryant, is the leading Black Republican organ of New York. That paper takes strong and determined free trade ground. The Post will not permit protection to be one of the Republican planks. It declares that Aboli tionism is the only plank. We quote the following sentiment : " The question of slavery is altogether too great and momentous to be thus prostituted to the selfish schemes of speculating capital ists and venal politicians, and narrow minded bigots. If those who now manage the affairs of the Republican party contemplate any such manoeuvre, we warn them in time that they had better let it alone. They have not so great a surplus of votes that they can afford to drive off the friends of free trade from their ranks. And if they do commit this blunder we tell them that the year 1860 is the last in which the present political party will figure in a Presidential election." MARYLAND NEGROES IN CANADA.—The Kent News of Saturday says : We understand from good authority. that a gentleman, who, till recently, was a resident of Chestertown, but now a citizen of the District of Columbia, has received a letter from a fugitive slave man, who ran away from him some four years since, and escaped to Canada: He represents his condition as deplorable indeed—regrets leaving his master —and is fearful that starvation may end his life before the return of Spring. He says that seven others, most of whom ran away about the same time from this neighborhood— like himself, are anxious to return to slavery together with their offspring which have been born since their departure. We know " Jack" very well, and do not wonder at the conclu sion he has arrived at, for a kinder and more indulgent master than he had did not live in Kent county. We suppose the necessary steps will soon be taken to gratify Jack and his comrades, since their voluntary return to slavery would be instrumental in preventing others from undertaking such perilous jour neys, to which they are generally persuaded by their pseudo abolition friends. THE ARTESIAN WELL AT READING.-Mr. Lauer has made a contract with the gentle men who have been boring his artesian well to carry it to a depth of 2,000 feet. It has already reached 1,700 feet, being the third in depth in the United States. One at Columbus Ohio, is 2,840 feet, and one at St. Louis, 2,282 feet. This one is all its depth through solid rock ; the bore is four inches, and the drill is driven by a steam engine, and requires but three men at a time, who alternate with three others, so as to keep the work in con• slant operation, and then sometimes not making more than four inches a day. The shaft of the augur is made of wooden rods, screwed together, and hoisted, lowered, or turned by the steam power. The present expense is stated at about $l5 a day.—Read ing Daily Times. Air Mrs. Johannah Hermans died at the residence of her daughter-in-law in Albany last Sunday, at the advanced age of 103 years. She was married at about the age of 45, and has been a widow thirteen years.— Her grandfather was 108 years old at the time of his death, her father was 105, and she had a brother 105 at the time of his death. Eighteen months since Mr. Hermans walked from Albany to Galway, Saratoga County, over 30 miles, experiencing apparently very little fatigue. THE MARYLAND FISHERIES.—The Denton Journal states that the fisheries in that vicinity did a more prosperous business during last week than for many years past at this season, and better than at any period during last spring. Herrings are now selling at $1 per hundred. Shad, which have not been very plentiful as yet, sell for 50 cents a pair IMPORTANT IF TRUE—TEE PIIRCHARR OF Cons.—The following important notice an- , poured in the New York Inquirer of Saturday: " We learn from a satisfactory source in Paris, that the French Government were advised that Spain has agreed to sell Cuba to the United States. Everything was arranged except the price, about which there was some little difference of opinion." As this appeaxed in no other of the New York papers, the announcement should be received with due caution. ANOTHER TERRIBLE SHIPWRECK-OTV/ One Hundred Livies Lost.—By the steamer Nova Scotian, from Liverpool on the 22d tilt., we learn that the ship Luna, from Havre for New- Orleans, bas been wrecked pn the French coast, near Cherbourg, and proved a total loss. She bad 88 passehgers, two of , whom only were saved, and their names are not given. The loss of passengers and crew is said to be 105 lives. Otis COMMERCIAL STEAM MAEINE.-,-The New York Herald foots up the tonnage and coat our .commercial steam marine, thus: The aggregate tonnage of our commercial steam marine is 153,366 tons, of which 94,111 is owned in New York. The total cost of the vessels in New York hands alone, is $16,231,- 088.13. The aggregate cost of the sea going steamers of the United States, is, as near as can be estimated; $25,000,000. telt - James Wood, the Chestnut street Confectioner, who murdered his pretty daugh ter for marrying against his will, some ten or fifteen years ago, in Philadelphia, dies the other day. The murder made an immense sensation at the time, and is remembered as the first ease in which homicide escaped on the " moral insanity" plea. Wood was over 60 years old. , SPECIAL NOTICES ANT Sheritralty.--We are authorized to announce Gen. MICHAEL P.

It is so far a medicine of surprising virtue, that Physicians are coin= pelted to prescribe it, and from some remarkable cures of Chronic and Distorted Rheumatic cases it has naturally attracted much attention from the first scientific minds of the age.

A We shall issue, in a few days, an entirely new work, called . _ THE AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD, to which we respectfully invite attention. It will be an authentic and complete book of reference on all current religions topics, and all religious events of the year. Will contain A Classified and Statistical Record of Religions and Moral Associations in the United States and Europe; The History, Confession of Faith, and Present Statistics of each of the Religious Denominations of the United States and Europe; Statistics of Moral, Benevolent and Educational Insti tutions in the United States; A Classified List and the Post Office Address of Clergy men of all Denominations in the United States; List of Leading Contributors and Testators to Religious and Benevolent Eriterprises; Record of Deaths in the Ministry for the Year; • Notable Helps for Understanding the Scriptures; Religions of Asia and Africa; Religions and Moral Teachers of Mankind; Sacred Books of all Nations; Missionary Societies; Bible Societies of the United States and Europe; Religious Periodicals of the United States and Europe; Eminent Christians who have Died during the Year; Beliefs of all Nations; List of Generous Contributors to Christian Enterprise during the Year; etc-, etc.. etc., etc., etc., etc, • The above, is - given more to convey an idea of the gen eral character of the work, than as an index to its volum inous contents, which will embrace everything of interest to intelligent religions minds. We believe a general record like this, to which every one might turn for authentic information on all topics of cur rent religions interest, has long been wanted, and would be found of great convenience, not only to clergymen and other church officers, but to all interested in the moral and religious movements of the age. It has been the atm of the publishers to supply this want, and in THE AMERI— CAN CHRISTIAN RECORD to present a work Jrhich would enable all Christians familiarly to understand one another's faith, efforts, and strength, in which each should be able to read the past and present story of his particular denomination, and compare it with that of others; and in which all might perceive at a glance, first, the efforts of individual institutions, and then the result of their united operationiththighout the entire world. In conclusion, we venture to say that so vast an amount of varied information' on religious subjects has never be fore been brought within the compass of a eingle volume.

We love the women very much, And could not live without them, But do not like the skirts they spread Ad libitum about them. A hatred of their crinoline, Within our bosom rankles, Bemuse we're fond of pretty feet, Attached to pretty ankles; And, as the women have such feet, With which kind Heaven supplied them; We cannot see a reason why, With sweeping skirts, they hide them. A woman, all the virtues taught, ➢fay think that she possesses ; Yet naughtehe knows of cleanliness, While she, with costly dresses, The pavement sweeps, until her skirts, By contact foul—slackl oh I Are soiled with mud, and stained with juice From loafers' vile tobacco! As " brevity's the soul of wit," This fact our mind impresses, That soulless is the wit displayed In wearing lengthy dresses. On lengthy 'ekirts, we do not wish With women fair to wrangle, But, as such things will filthy grow, When In the mnd they dangle, We call on ladies for a change, And hope that some "Good Friday" Will usher in a style of dress, Which, tasty, will be tidy.

ClAsz,} ft edlifttentlL 16.17.4 Scrofula, or Kingl3 VA; is a constitutional disease, a corruption of -the blood, by which this fluid becomni vitiated, weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it pervades the whole body, and may burst oat in disease on any part of it. No organ is-free from its attacks, nor is there one which it , inay not destroy. The scrofulous taint level:lonely caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis. ordered or unhealthy food. hplgte. and filthy habits, the demising anvir above all, by the venereal infection. What ever be its origin, it is' hereditnry in,•the colt stittnicsi, descending "item permits to children unto the third and fourth generation ;" indeed. it seems to be the rod of Min who says, u I will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon their children." Its effects commence by .deposition tram, the blood of corrupt or alcerons matter, which, in the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed tubercles; in the glands, swellings;> end . on the surface , eruptions or sorts. This !Ind.*. ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses the energies , of life, so that scrofulous constitu tions not only suffer from scrofillous coin • plaints, but they have far less power to with stand the attacks of other. diseases; conse quently, vast numbers perish by disorders which, although not scrofulous in_ their nature, are still rendered fatal by this taint in the system. Most of the consumption which der cimates the human family has its origin directly in this scrofulous contamination ; and many destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain, and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from at are aggravated by the same cause. One quarter of all our people are scrofulous; their persons are invaded by this lurking in fection, and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse it from the system we must renovate the blood by an alterative medicine, and in vigorate it by healthy food and exercise. „Such a medicine we supply in AYER'S Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla, the most effectual remedy which the medical skill of our times can devise for this evert where prevailing and fatal malady. It ia cam , bined from the most active remedials that hafe been discovered for the expurgation of this foul disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the system from its destructive consequences. Hence it should be employed for the cure of not only scrofula, but also those other affec tions which arise from it, such as Exurrrvs and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHONY'S Fins, ROSE, or ERYSIPELAS, PIMPLES, PUSTULES, BLOTCHES, BLAINS and Boma, TUMORS, TETT= and SALT RHEUM, SCAM HEAD,RINGWORM, RHEITMATISM,-SYPHILITIC and MRCURIAL DIS EASES, DROPSY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and, indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS Alcamo FROM VITIA TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief in impurity of the blood" is founded in truth, for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid, without which sound health is impossible in contaminated constitutions. Ayer's Cathartic Pills, FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A FAMILY PHYSIC, are so composed that disease within the range of their action can rarely withstand or evade them Their penetrating properties search, and cleanse, and invigorate every portion of the human organ ism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring its healthy vitalities. As a consequence of these properties, the invalid who is bowed down with pain or physical debility is astonished to find his health or energy restored by a reniedy at once so simple and inyiting. Not only do they cure the every-day complaints of every body, but also many formidable and dangerous diseases. The agent below named is pleased to furnish gratis my American Almanac, containing certificates of their cures-and directions for their use in the following complaints: Costive ness, Heartburn, Headache arising from disordered Stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, Pain in and Morbid Inaction of the Bowels, Flatulency, Loss of Appe tite, Jaundice, and other kindred complaints, arising from a low state of the body or obstruction of its functions. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, FOR THE RAPID CURE OP Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness, Croup, Bronchitis, Incipient Consump tion, and for the relief of Consumptive Patients in advanced stages of the disease. So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu merous are the cases of its cures, that almost every section of country abounds in persons pub licly known, who have been restored from alarming and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its use. When once tried, its superiority over every other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape observation, and where its virtues are known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ for the distressing and dangerous affections of the pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate. While many inferior remedies thrust upon the community have failed and been discarded, this has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to be forgotten.
