A Murder Case with a Pleasant 2ermina
timt.—Tho people of Detroit have been much
excited about a murder said to have been com
mitted near Brownstown. It was alleged
that a pedlar was murdered-at a houi,'e where
he remained over night, and three women
were arrested. The testimony was that bones
were found in a barrel, and blood, with hu
man hair in it, was seen in various places
about the house. The ease had been fully in
vestigated, and the counsel were about :sum
ming up the testimony, when a German ruse
in the audience, and protested against the
sheep bones and the horse hair which had
been produced as evidence of a murder, being
taken to represent his own body, as, he was
the identical pedlar who was supposed to have
been murdered. It was:fortunate for the three
women that the man wits fortheQining at the

The french IZevointion soon after created a
rage for French ideas in Ameriett, which. put
on the cent, instead of lre head of Washington,
the head of the oddess of Liberty—a French
Liberty, Avzth neck thrust forwanl and flowing
looks. The chain on the reverse was replaced
by the olive wreath of

Liberty was short lived,.and SO was her por

Tall' Shootiny.—The match for the main moth
hog, weighing 1,000 pounds, which finished in
Altoona last week, was won, as we, have al
ret y stated, by CO. Joseph Kaey, one of the
ce
in ill agents on the NMI'S. Railroad, between
Pi tsburg and our borough, on a string three-1
si. teenths of an inch in length. Col. Xney
drove 18, centres out of 45 shots, while 19 of
his Shots measured Only 9 inehes,and 22 shots
measured 1S inches. Mr. llollan drove quite
a number of centres. At - one time he drove
NOIIIO seven or eight in succession, in different
boards, and made quite a number of strings
which measured between a and 1 of an inch.
His Shooting throughout we thilik was the
most regular. We are sorry that a number
of his shots were not measured, as we think
they could not lie beat. As a proof of this we
may shy, that yesterday a week, -while in
I laysport, he made ten shots which measured
only 4.3 inches. Mftsrs. Young, Coulter and
Thomas although' they did not succeed in mak
ing as short strings as Macy and Holton,
made some most beautiful shooting, which
clearly evidenced that they were marksmen
of no common character. This is alittle the
tallest shooting that has over come under our
notice, and we believe cannot be beat.—Ha

The Poll ,Evil.
Some persons regard the poll evil as incu
rable. -It is sometimes called fistula. No
matter how long the sore has been running,
it can be cured in a brief time, and at a cost
not exceeding ten cents. Ono dime spent in
muriatie.acid, will be suffiCient to effect a rad
ical and permanent curo of the most stubborn
fistula. Tho sure should be first thoroughly .
cleansed by some abstorgent fluid, and for this
purpose, pure water is perhaps as valuable as
anythingthat-can_ bo used, and drop eight or
ten drops of the acid in twice a day till it has
the appearance of a fresh wound ; then wash
clean with soup suds made of Castile soap, and
leave it to heal, which . it will speedily .do if
the acid has been used lung enough. Should
it, however, .heal slowly, apply the. acid a
second time, and 'in the manner above de
scribed, taking care to wash out the pipe
thoroughly, and it will be found an infallible
remedy in the most inveterate diseases of this
sort ; but it must be remembered that in or
der to do so, the acid must be applied till the
corrupt or diseased flesh is all burned - out.

Effect of Pumpkin Seed on Cattle.—A 'cor
respondent—J. B. Freeman—of the KewEn:ry.
laud Farmer, describes the evil effects of
pumpkin seed, in rendering mileh COWS dry.
lie says he'lfad been led to believe that they
Were good fur feeding lunch COW, and com
menced to feed them out to a cow at the rate
of half a bushel per,day. "At that time," he
says, "she was giving about eight quarts of
milk per day, but instead of this increasing
the quantity, it diminished it. - i increased
the feed to a buShel per day ; still there was
a decrease in the 'quantity of milk until the
pumpkins froze up, when she did not give
but four quarts-per day. The cow did not fat
ten, and the reason for the decrease in the
quantity of milk, I could in , no way account
for. I then took out all the Seeds, when, le,
the change!—instead of five quarts - of milk
per day, I got nearly 'nine in a, short time."
The, Origin. of Witeui.—The :origin of the
wheat which we now cultivate, is involved,in
considerable obscurity. Nowhere is it found
to exist in native. In a paper in the Edinburgh
Rerugv, the author 'of it takes the, ground that
all our common,eereakhave been developed,
by cultivation, from grains ,having, in their
natural state, scarcely any, resemblance to
those now cultivated, and he asserts_ that the
particular plant' &inn which Niviheat has origi
nated, in agrasS growing wild on the shores
of the Mediterranean, and known to botanists
by the name 'of- owilops. If this is true, it
afford some clue to' solve the question,
.‘does Wheat . ever become cheat'?"
Abolition Conclave.
The Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, in
its session in Boston, a few weeks ago, was
the arena of seine pretty intense talking, as
will be seen by the following, very, harm
less elmlition on the'part of,opoll. C. Wright:
"For myself,• I am heartily sick of hearing
people talk about 'Holy church
es,' 'holy institutions,' &e. '‘,The institution
must be preserved whatever becOmes of the
man ; not only .four Millions of slaves have
been sacrificed, but the Whole nation has been
sacrificed. We should' nut . trouble ourselves
about God, only about hernanity. Wo owe
no duties to Cud aside from those we owe.to
humanity. I won't respect. a God who will
not respect me. If I love anything it must be
because that thing 'mot be loveable and nut
fie• any other reason. It is the sacred duty
of every one to be true to himself—to be faith
ful to his own nature. Be true to yourself
whore you are, over looking to be a higher
self. Life is absolutely sacred under all cir
ctunstances. This is my doctrine ; but not
one in ten thousand agrees with me. Henry
Ward Beecher and the Republican party gen
erally say that Sharpe's rifle is the best and
•only salvation ihr Kansas. Why not make
effort to put the bowie knife and revolver into
the hands of the slave. In my opinion the
slave has just as good a right to cut the throat
of his master; as Was:shingto►n had to plant
his cannon on Dorchester Heights and pour
his shot into Boston. If My mother - was a,
slaveholder, and a slave rose against her to
defend his rights, I would be With the slave
and not with my mother."
There was much other raving of. .the same
impious, treasonous and murderous charac
ter from Rev. Theodore Parker, one Higgin
son, &c.
