We would call the attention of MERCHANTS AND

Ex-Governor Allan Trimble, nominated by the
Ohio Know Nothings at Columboe, has accepted.
The frigate Constitution has sailed from. Nor
walk to join tho Mediterranean squadron.
The Girard House, kept at Atlantia City, by
E. Doyle, was burned down last week. Nothing
Whatever was saved from the bnilding.
Mr. Charleton Heims, of Chester county, was
bitten by a viper recently, and in consequence of
not immediately attending to it, nearly lost his
life. The bite of the viper is frequently mortal.
By the City Inspectors report, we learn the
mortality in New York last week was 592—171
ohildren and 128 adults. In Philadelphia for
the same time there were 810 deaths.
Daring a thunder storm lost Saturday evening
a week, about 6 o’clock, the frame bam belong
ing to Henry Medenford, in Tnlpehocoon town
ship, Berks county, was struck by lightning, and
consumed, with all its contents, consisting of
hay, wheat, rye, oats, two wagons, and farming
implements. . Two valuable horses were also
burnt to death. Tho barn was protected by a
lightning rod at ono end, but as it was fifty
six feet long, this did not prove sufficient, as
the lightniog struok on the opposite end.
LOUISVILLE POLICEMEN.
Tho officers of the oity government of Louis
ville, it is known, aro members of, and eleoted
by, the American order. The potioe of that city
appear to have been sensible of that fact
during the late disturbances ; and the Mayor,
though forewarned of the danger of a riot, ap
~peart to have made no preparations whatever
to prevent it. The very proposition of tho
Louisville Journal that the native Amerioaus
had a right to take possession of the polls and
tfpte first, and then, if there was time, the nat
uraUxed citizens might vote, was an insult well
''hsfculsted, and doubtless designed to breed dis-
turbances and violence. Does the law or the
constitution of tin; State make an; snob de
grading diallnotion among the Legally qualified
voters? Certainly not. We know of aged and
respeotable oitiiene of Pittsburgh who, under
the operation of snoh os arbitrary rnle, would
hare to stand baok and wait till their own eons and
•ren jrandsonj had Toted; then, if there toae time,
the old sires and grandsirea might vote. Suoh
would be the operation of Mr. Prentice’s rnle,
-if adopted, in Ter; many instanoes. Do the
Know nothings of this vicinity adopt tho sug>
gestlona of the Loularille Journal f It they do
let us know it in time; and will they let as know,
too, bow snoh a rnle is to bo carried out, exoapt
by physical force—the knife, the revolver, and
the toroh. But all the Louisville papers now
■ay that a riot was generally apprehended. Vet
no extra polioe force was provided until the dis-
turbance was noarly over. Daring the fighting
•nd burning and slaughter we can hear of no ar
rests except of foreigners. One Irishman, after
being beaten to insensibility, and a pitch-fork
thrust into his flesh, was arrested and carried to
jail, whilst the mao with the fork marohed off
in triumph, with the blood dripping from its
points.
■ We would not oharge this lack of energy and
effort on part of the polioe to any improper mo
tive if it oouid be avoided. Bat it certainly Is
remarkable that during so many fights and mnr
derous assaults so few if any arrests of the per
petrators should have been made. We tract
there will bo a thorough judicial investigation,
and equal jusdoe administered. The investiga
tion will at least unable ns to judge clearly who
were the guilty parties; and there can be no
doubt that it will prove those who were pre
vented from going to the polls through intimida
tion were not the party who sought a riot and
bloodshed. That the American party did take
possession of the ballot boxes is dearly made
ont already. Even tho Louisville Journal does
not-deny it; and the retains of the vote of the
oity leaves no doubt on the snbjeot.
To ihow bow reckless Prentice has become in
bla support of tbo new part;, we publish below
an extract from hla paper, which appeared some
days ago. He asserts, what was never beard of
before, that there was not time onoagh for all
the cltiieas to oast tbeir votes in one day. So
he argnee that the K. N.’a should vote first, and
then if there vat time the naturalised citisens
might vote. Here is the extract :
"We all know that it was considered very
doubtful on Monday morning whether the whole
vote of the city oould be pollod withinthe thir
teen hoars of the election. The native-born
American oitisenß thought and felt that, if any
portion of the people legally entitled to vote
should have to stand baok and lose their suffra
ges for want of time, the foreign-born oitisena
should stand baok rather than themselves.
They thought and felt that this ought to be
perfectly manifest even to the minds of the for
eigners. Undoubtedly they pressed forward
early and vigorously to the polls, In order to be
the first, if possible; and in this they were right
They had a perfeot right to go, if they ohose, to
.. the polls at 12 o’clock on Sunday night, and re
main there until the following morning. They
had a right to go at what time they pleased, and
in what numbers they oould. They had a right
even to toss their friends over the heads of the
orowd to the polls, as we are told they did in
some few instaooes, though this was ho doubt a
violation of courtesy. They had a right to vote
as fast as they could, provided they used no vio
lence In palling or thrusting back their oppo
nents from the polls, and we have not heard It
alleged that they did thiß in a solitary instance. 1 ’
Now the simple reply to all this is that there
Was plenty of time for all to vote} and the ob-
Jeot of the above remarks was to adviee the K.
N. a to take possession of the polls and keep
taem, *Moh it ftpppara they dW.
Mu. Dawson ann inn Kansas NnnnasKa Bur,
-The "Times” .s assured that we have the
very best authority for exposing the falsehood of
the Detroit "Advertiser,” in relation to this
gentleman. We would not have given the con
tradiction otherwise. The reiteration of its

little moment: »man who will tell a falsehood,

OF VENANGO COUNTY.

Tactics of the Opposition
We Cod tha following going the rounds, pur
porting to be part .of a letter from Kansas:
Mr. Pierce has earnestly desired the resigna
tion of Gov. Reeder for some time past, but was
afraid, by dismissing him, to offend the Pennsyl
vanians. ' Gov. Reeder i, very popolar in the
“ Keystone State.” . Mr. Dawson is one of his
bitterest opponents. At the recent Demooratio
Convention in Pennsylvania I am told he made
a Ceroe phillipio against him, and was the means
of defeating a motion endorsing Govervor Reed
er’s coarse in Kansas and denouncing the follow
ers of Atchison.
it the first three sentences are as false as the
fourth, wo think the author of tho above para
graph deserves a premium from the Father of
Lies. Mr. Dawson delivered no phillipio against
Gov. Reeder in the Demooratio Convention, for
the simple reason that he was not a delegate, bat
on the oontrary vraa distant from Harrisburg
more than one thousand miles when that Con
vention met It is a fair speolmen, however, of
the honesty of the opposition. If Mr. Dawson
had aooepted tho Governship of Kansas, he
would have been as soundly berated and abased
as was Col. Reeder, to whom they applied (at the
time of his appointment) all the epithets in the
abolition voaabnlary.
Bktieeheht of Thublow Weed from the Al
daht Joorhal.—Tbe Albany Alias hints that the
retirement of this gentleman and the substitu
tion of the name of Mr. Wilkeson, of the Buffalo
democracy, is only a ruse of that aroh-old-ooon
to humbug the Know Nothings until after the
election. Says the Atlas .- “Tho necessities of tho
approaohing campaign, may make it politio to
put forward Mr. Wilkeson aa editor—as more
likely to conoiliate the seceding lodges of Know
Nothings and the Temperance organization, and
the other fragments of parties—than the present
editor, whose Aoti-SeoretSociety, Autl-Temper
ance and Anti Know Nothing, and olose and ex
oluslfo Whig partisanship aro so well known.
As Know Nothiagism, Republican, Temperanoe
Fusion, are al! one and tho same thing, so this
newspaper revolution will be a mere change of
words—a new designation for ‘ the same old
coon.’ ”
The Kihhey Expeditios. —Col. Kinney, about
whose expidition to Central America bo mnch
has been said, arrived at Greytown some time
ago, was well received, even by the English
there, and has commenced bnilding a house.
About twenty men landed with him, and there
seems now a fair chance that he will succeed in
planting a colony there. A Yankee colony in
Central America would no doubt prosper if dis
posed to peaceful colonization, and the Colonel
avera that ho has no other motives. Yankee
enterprise and intelligence would soon do muoh
to improve the condition of those States wheTe
now a mixed raoe of Spaniards, Negroes and
Indians are perpetually engaged in wars and
revolutions. Wo hope the Colonel and his col
ony will keep tho peace and prosper.
Thi New Govkrboh of Kahsas —As the tele
graph has already announced, Hon. Wilson Shan
non, of Ohio, has been appointed Governor of
Kansas, to succeed Col. A. H. Reeder, of Penn
sylvania. Mr. Shannon has seen considerable
public life aud Is a man of very fair abilities.
In 1812 he was elected to the Chief Magistracy
of Ohio over Thomas Corwin by a majority of
3448; in 1845 sent to Mexico as U. S. Minister,
and in 1852 eleoted a member of Congress. Ho
was a firm and consistent friend of the principles
of the Kansas-Nebraska bill. Wo hope bo will
be able to restore peaeo to that troubled territo
ry and have the laws faithfully executed.
Beaver CetrsTT.—A call, numerously signed,
for a Republican County Convention in Beaver
county, has been published. Tho New Brighton
Record says that tMs has alarmed the K. N.'e,
and their committee has called on the Republi
can committee and offered fusion. They were
told they oonld come into the Republican party
in welcome, and act with it. Bot they claimed
that the Republicans must come in with them on
the E. N. platform. This was refused, and the
parties have resolved to pnrsne their separate
paths.
[For the Pittsburgh Postl
Messrs. Gilisore & Mostoomeev : Tou will
confer a favor on many citizens by publishiog
tho name of Jho. D. Miller, of South Pitts
burgh, as a candidate for the office of Sheriff.
If nominated, the Demooraoy of Allcgheoy
county oan vote with perfeot safety for him, as
ho ie a sound and anflinoMag Democrat.
Hold sir Bohset. —A Mrs. Catharine Smith,
of Mt. Holly, offers $2 reward for a truant hus
band—the amount, probably, being his fail
raise- She says:
“ I should like to see Mm for about half an
hoar, jast to let him have the length of my
tongue—and oh! wouldn't I give it to him.
Anybody who will bring him baok, eo that ho
can have my opinion of him, shall receive two
dollars of hard earned money.”
We hope Katy Darling may get him.
The OrviciAL Vote or Vibqhua. —The Rioh
mond Enquirer, of Friday morning, pnblishes
tho offioial vote cast at the lato eleotion in Vir
ginia. The vote for Governor is as follows :
Wise
Floarae;
Wise’s majority
[from the Louisville Courier, loth lost.]
Further About tbe Biot.
Daring Monday the most excited and exagger
ated reports were constantly in clranlation, and
to the effects they prodnoed is to be attributed,
in a great measure, the difficulty in ascertaining
the origin of the difficulties. A orowd of men
half grown bo;B, who were ripo for mischief,
would, to increase the excitement and give them
an excuse for carrying out their wishes, report
that a certaiu bouse ina oertaiu locality, was fill
ed with Germans and Irish having weapons. In
stantly the gang would repair thither, probably
find a foreigner loathe streets, whom they would
give ohase or kneok down and then throw rooks
at tho honae. The terrified inmates would pro
bably reply by a dlsohargo of weapons they
ohanoed to have, and In some instances,
random shots happened to Mt innocent persons
who were passing by. This was then consider
ed by the moboorats snfflolent provocation to tear
down or burn down honse after house, and malm
and mnrder their inmates. It was suoh reports
that originated most of the outrages, and that
almost oausod tho destrnotion of the Cathedral
and Cathollo ohurch on upper Green street.
Yellow Fetor is Virginia. —Yellow fever
has for some time been prevalent in Norfolk and
Portsmouth; and a despatob from Baltimore in
forms ns that it is still increasing. Oar ex
changes from, and in tho vicinity of the Infeoted
distriots, contain most disheartening aooonnts of
its effects. Over seven thousand persons have
fled, and both cities wear the aspeot of affliction.
Under suoh olronmstanoes it is pleasant to read,
as we do in one of the Portsmouth papers, that
“ While the panic is so great as to have oansed
the flight of more than one-half of the oititenß,
to have dosed all the stores, to have suspended
all branches of business, the Sitten of Charily
have voluntarily sought the fearful soene, and
are rendering the kind offloes of nursing the Blok
and comforting the afflicted.”-— lf. 7. lima.
Ladies' Dresses. —The editor of the Frank
fon( Ky.) Yeoman thus comes to the defense of
the ladies, whose dresses are accused of being
too low in the neok. The soamp says :
“We are bosom friends of the ladies ; we
have enlistod under their banner, and are ready
to die in defense of their breastworks. Nobody
bat a milk sop or a euoker would be always
making disparaging remarks about the ladies’
dresses. That’s the naked truth. ”
Mr. Bdohahae. —We have definite information
with reference to the intentions of Mr. Buohan
an, U. S. Minister at the Court of St. James, as
to the exact time of his return to the United
States. He has written to Washington that he
will leave England for the United States in the
steamer of the 6th of Ootober, and will have

PROGRESS Of THF. TERRITORY —HOW ,rTO QBT
Messrs. Editors :—On my orrivslhonio from
a late visit to your oity, I found everything-in
a flourishing condition. The prairies are whit
ened in every direotion with the tented oanvass,
and our part of tho Territory is filling up very
rapidly; in our county since I left till my re
turn, and I was only about six weeks absent, I
found an addition of about fifty families, making
a population of twelve hundred persons—and
all this within the last six months. Our crops
look very promising and fine, and we expeat to
raise oorn and potatoes in abundance, to Bupply
all who may ohoose to settle among us. We are
now very rapidly improving, and hauling np onr
oity; not lees than ten houses per week are put
in a tenanted oondltion. We now have a saw
mill nnder full headway, and expect by Novem
ber to have half a million of brick in readiness
for use. I think that we will have a oity whose
growth in one year from the fitßt stroke of the
hammer will number fifteen hundred. There is
a part of the material now on tho way for a pa
per to be established in our town.
Wo are truly under the magic influence of
“ Young Amerioa,” and go for the Union, the
Constitution, squatter sovereignty, and Ter
ritorial freedom; and deeply lament that our
Kansas kinsmen are not governed by the Bame
principle of morals, and intellectual intelligence,
for when suoh principles as theso govern, fanat
icism never will lead us astray. But we hope
that both parties will be ashamed of their wilful
selfishness, and compromise, and be led on or at
least advised by one of the best men in our
government, Hon. John L. Dawson. The people
■ must rule hero nr the heavons will fall.
Well, enough of Kansas. Now for Nebraska
Territory. I think it holds out greater induce
ments to settlers than Kansas. There is one
thing oertaie, we are all peaceful and quiet, and
not at all molested by the lodisns, or slavery
questions; there aro now very few to bo soon
among us. In ono day's ride we are In tho
midst of ao old Bottled country, where all the
oonvenienoes of life can be had as well as. in
yoor own oity.
Now; tho way for your oitizens to visit is to
go direotly to Chioago, Rockislaud, or Burlington,
lowa, take the stage, or to Connoil Bluffs, or
privato carriage or wagon, ns suits; and from
Burlington it is 825 miles to tbe Bluffs—and 50
miles west you can find us, in the most beautiful
valley of the world. Where, if you ohoosu to
settle amoag us, wo will show yon fioe farms,
that yon can improve, nnder the law of tho
United States and Territory, whioh is by pre
emption. The lands will most probably oome
into market in the oouree of 2 or 8 mouths
whioh, when they do will have to be for, $1,25
per acre ; and under the present arrangement
of the law one person can hold 820 aores. Or
If you ohooso to go by water from your city,
you go to St Louis—and then up the Missouri
river as far as Omaha city, and you will Had us
40 miles west, on the Elkhorn river, which af
fords abundanae of the finest kind of fish.
Again, if you ohoose to form yourselves Into a
colony you can locate a county, and a town,
within 80 miles, and the lands are fully as good
as those we have, and make a profit at once, by
your settlement, on the riso of town lots, and
your farming lands also. A little energy and
perseverance for a few years makes a poor man
rich, besides it will make a home for his family,
whioh will not have to scatter when thoy grow
into astion upon the Btagocf life.
Yours, J. H.

The Milwaukie Sentinel publishes Tory {all
particulars of this tcrriblo tragedy, the more
material portions of which we giro below:
Oa Sunday noon a messenger reached Judge
Larrsboo at Horieob, who brought word that the
1 people, who were greatly excited. had agreed to
' await a trialof tho murderer Do Bar, if It might
I bo had speedily. The Judge, after deliberation,
concluded that as it seemed certain that De Bar
1 would be killed without trial if none was had
1 spoedity, it was his duty to go to West Bend and
i provide for a trial, and to take snob measures as
oiroumstancts should a fieri to preserve the Ufa
of the prisoner. He found tho people quiet, but
that there was on evident determination that the
[ murderer should not live. He arrived at West
, Bond on Monday, at 10 A. M , nud mingling
’ among tho people, urged them to preserve ordor
and let tho law take its coarse, but found no
feeling answering to his appeals.
After consultation with the officers, bo ordor
ed an extra jury term for the next mersieg.
The only other elternative was to oall a special
term on ten days notioe, and it was evident that
the people would not wail. It was hoped that
by fixing the time for the next morning, means
might be found to get the prisoner eafely away
by night, bat it was soon learned that every
movement of the authorities was closely watch
ed by opies. Messengers wore then sent to Mil
waukee and Oiankee for millitary force, and
dragoons were asked for from here, with the
intention of having Do Bar plead guilty, bo sen
tenced, guarded to the door, tut upon a horse,
and taken away rapidly to the prison at Wanpnn.
Bat the dragoons did cot go, and that plan fail
ed.
The Ozsakee Company had such orders given
It, that, by travelling lncltixens dress, with arms
concealed, they went forward in wagons and ar
rived near West Bend, having an opportunity to
stop near that place and put on their uniform
j and dash to the jail before aoy alarm could bo
I given. The crowd kept quiet during the night,
; and up to 11$ A. M., of Tuesday, when Ibo Os
aukse company had surrounded the jail. In a
short time some 200 people had gathered, and
were moving toward the jail, when Judge Larra
boe directed the prisoner to be oonveyed to th 6
Court House, which woo done on being accom
panied by the officers aud enclosed in a sqaare
formed by the troops.
A part of the troops guarded the onteide doors
and only by presenting bayimts kept book the
crowd. As tho excitement inoreased, tho Jndge
went out and appealed to the people, and aided
by M. Well, and other Germans, snooeeded in
qultieg them for tho momont. While so engag
ed Sheriff Conover of this oounty, arrived and
brought word that part of the Artillery Com
pany of this olty, were oloee at hand. Feeling
then more secure, (although, as it is now known,
two Germans, who aro known, had arrived half
an hour beforo, aud told by the orowd of the
coming of this oompany,) Jndge Larabee left
this company and part of tho other to gnard the
outer door, direoting Capt. Silverman, of the Os
aukee Company to admit only sufficient to fill the
seals; and went in to open the Coart, the pris
oner being guarded by a line of soldiers around
the bar. Immediately, Capt. Silverman allowed
the whole crowed to rash in, and fill the room
almost to saffocation.
Order was restored after a time, and the per
sons composing the Grand Jury were sworn in
The Distriot Attorney appeared for the State,
and counsel appeared for the prisoner. Jndge
Lsrrabee then oharged the Jury, depreciating
mob violence, and earnestly urging the claim s
of the prisoner to a fair and impartial trial.
Wo quote the remainder of the aaoonnt from the
Sentinel:
The Grand Jury went to their room at about
2 P. M. At abont 8$ o'olook the orowd beoame
exoited at tho delay—beoame disorderly and
rnßhed towards the prisoner, bat were kept
book, more by the officers than by the military
guard. A couple of Americans, believing that
the military were disposed to givo 10, if not fra
ternise with the mob, seised two of the maskets
and planted themselves before the prisoner.
This made farther excitement, and by dlreotlon
of the Judge the arms were returned. It was
now ngreed among the offioerß and oouneel that
the prisoner should plead not guilty, and be re
manded for trial next, the military pledging
themselves to protect him till then. The plan
was, to have the aoldiers and officers inside take
De Bar promptly to the door, where tho rest of
the troops were to form aronnd him, and so es
oort him to the jail.
The Grand Jury came Into court with thslr In
dlotment; bat meantime a largo number of peo
ple had crowded aronnd to the side of the bar
and behind the prisoner. The Indietment was
read by Jndge Larrabee to De Bar, standing np
before him. He plead Not Guilty, and the jndge
dlreoted a speoial venire to be issued for a jury,
returnable at 9 o’olook Wednesday morning, and
ordered the prisoner to be remanded to the jail.
The officers at ones took him by the shonlders
the detaohment from Oxankee closing aronnd
thus, and thus poshing through ths orowd, tboy
reached the door, where the rest of the Osaokee
Company and the Milwanklo Company were eta*

afttsr. when suddenly a :ush was made v.y n ;;
mere than iweniy or.-iwenly five msu upou the
centre of Iho line, aiql the tioops, without a blow
struck whatever, ,
save by Lb.Begerfof the Ozaukee Company, :
(Who behaved well,)iell back and left: the pri- I
souer to tbe fury offthemobl ;Dc Bar was in
stantly felled to the) ground; while lying with
hie facer downward, (he- was etruck by a largo
stone upon the head ornshlng in the skull, while
one fiend more brutal than the rest, jumped with
his full foroe upon the mangled head I The poor
wretch was doubtless dead from tho blow of the
Btone. A rope was 'attaohod to his legs, and tho
body dragged by the yelling demons some half
mile, the garments being stripped from the body
as it went, and then, mangled and bleeding, it
wan hung to a tree, head downwards:
There seems little room to doubt that if the
troops had acted like men, the result would have
been different; but there is less room to doubt
that nearly all the military sympathized with,
or aotuaUy fraternized with, tho mob. Orders
were given to the troops to have no interoourse
with the exoited people, but to attend to their
doty. This they disobeyed, and most-of the
troops, as they wero alternately relieved, left
the Court House/ and went away to drink beer
with ihe rioters again aud agsin. If this is the
sort of men to whom the military equipments of
the State are entrusted, to be used for the peace
of the State io jasf suoh emergencies as this,
the sooner it is understood the better; and the
sooner tho corrective is appllSS the better.
When we add, that the troops formed again
after allowing the prisoner to be taken from
them, and then marched along to the tone of
“ Hail Columbia,” wo have told tho story.
Suoh seem to be the fasts in this shocking
ease. Long ago, when crime Btalked abroad in
California, and no man’s life or property was
cafe, the people need to gather together delibe
rately, the oriminal was tried, and if convicted,
hung to a scaffold, or the nearest tree, the deed
being in most oases done with the forms and
solemnities of jastice, and wo said it was right.
But in the case of Mayberry at Janesville, and
in far greater enormity in this oase of Da Bar,
the killing of tbe murderers was not the delibe
rate sense of justice of the people showing itself,
but the mad, brutal, fiendish act of a mob,
taking vengeance on its vlotim. As suoh It is to
be reprobated 4y every good citizen, and to be
frowned upon by overy friend of order. The
excuse of a want »f laws to punish suoh orlmcs
as that of Da Bar, weighs but little against the
disgrace thrown upon the people of Washington
county, and upon our whole State, by such a
deed. Heaven grunt that this may be the last
tragedy of the kind Ij
George Da Bar was aged 20 years, bern in
Niles, Cayuga county, N. Y., and has lived five
years in this State, .principally in what is now
the town of Barton, Washington oonnty.
From tho West Bend Organ, we get farther
particulars as to the murder. Briefly they are
aB follows:
Oa the 81st, Muefir, who owed De Bar $1,60,
for whioh he was directed to call on the next
Sunday, informed a Mr. Young, in presence of
De Bar, that he hail-just sold a yoko of oxen for
$6O. On the next: night, at eleven o’clock, De
Bar went to Muehr’a house, and demanded hie
$1,50. In the conversation,.Muehr proposed to
give De Bar a drink of beer, and went down in
tho cellar to got it.
On returning from the oellar, and when about
half his body was above tho floor, he handed
the beer to De Bar, who took it in his left hand,
at tho same time striking Muohr on hiß head
with some weapon he had in his right. Mnehr
fell down the oellar, but soon arose and had
another ecoffle with De Bar, whoetruck him sev
eral more blows. Mnehr caught him by the hair,
bat was scon obliged to let go his hold.
In tho meantime, Meuhr’a wife get up from
bod and started for help, ' 'Dc 'Bar gave chase
and caught her a short distance from the house,
where he Inflicted several doagerouß woundß on
her throat and neck with a knifo, and as is sup
posed left her for dead. Ho then went again to
tho house, saw Meuhr, and gavo him abase.
Meubr secreted himself In a cornfield, and there
by evaded another assault. Do Bar’s attention
was next directed to Paul Winderting, who was
also ia the field, shrieking for assistance. De
Bar caught him hut a short distance from the
piece where was secreted. Tho lad
called oa Mquhrtor help, exclaiming :
"John! John, help me, cr I shall be mur
dered !"
But Meuhr was slunccd, and too Vrcak or
frightened to help.. He then entreated his mur
derer to epare,hliap*sylng s *
“Oh, George! don’t kill mo—lot me iire !
doh't kill Mart"
But his entreaties were unheeded—with a
pocket knife .brute, demon-like, out his throat,
Inflicting a deadly wound 1
Meuhr then started across the fields for tho
house of a neighbor, where ho arrived without
being farther molested. Here be found his
wife, who had just arrived, having sufficiently
gained her strength te walk the distance.
Tho alarm was then given, and tho house was
found in flames, aud the murderer gone.
Gov. A. H, Reeder.— During the -next and

A New- York correspondent of tho Portland
Stale of Maine, thus sketches a charectcr whom
he met in Broadway :
Then camo a huge man, more than six feet
tail, with very broad, high and sqaare shonlders,
very noticeable if only for this peculiarity.
Above ths shonlders, as might be supposed was
a bead, bat the head was covered with a reddish,
griuly hair, which was not so eupposable.
Take him for all to all, one might Imagine he
was ad ogro of our school boy imaginations.
And tho lady who trotted along by his side as he
strode down the street, not coming up to his
shonlders, was evidently a forlorn damsel whom
he was hurrying luto helpless captivity. In
truth, she was taken la his toils aud is his wife.
But the man, this Colossus of side-walks, who
you think is laughing, but may bo frown
ing, with a deep set bat sharp eye, with tho du
bious ntse and sandy complexion; this man who
is well dressed, and mnob of a gentleman as a
giant oan he,rwho evidently don’t lika mosqui
toes—for ho bought a patent netting one day—
and baa no especial regard for hot weather, this
individual who you wonld Imago was tho master
of a “donjon keep” bat who you would prefer
should keep la the dungeon—wouldn’t you like
to know who he is! Well, If you won’t bothor,

there was a mighty man in Paris called the Pre

A Narrow Escape.
Daring the eleation riot on Monday, and while
the mob were surrounding the burning houses of
Quinn, on Main street, near Eleventh, and were
shooting tho lrlshmen as they were eeoaplog
from' the flames, an Irishman, disguised as a
woman, oame out with au infant in his arms, and
succeeded in passing through tho orowd, when
his guise was discovered, and the ory raised to
“ehoothim,” “hang him,” “kill him.” The
poor fellow ran but a short distaooo till be was
overtaken, aud would undoubtedly have been
killed but for the intervention of two or three
gentlemen, one of whom, driving up In his buggy,
offered to oouvey him away from the mob, which,
by rapid driving, he snooeeded in doing, and
lodged him safely within the walls of the jail,
from whenco he oan be summoned to answer
any oharge that may be preferred against him,
or if Innocent, may regain his freedom, to thank
God for preserving him from a violent death at
the hands of a lawless mob.

- 44 I have made a chemical examination of 44 Rhodes' Fever
and Ague Cure,” or 41 Antidote to Malaria, 44 and have tested
tbfbr Areenio, Mercury, Quinine and Strychnine, but have
not found a particle of either In It, nor have I ftmnd aoy
substance in its composition that would prova injurious to
the consUtntlon.

Mr, J. A* Ehoda— Dear Sir: The box of medicine yon
sent me was dnly received on tbe 11th of April. I have
sold abont one-naif of it, and so tar tbe people who bate
used It are satisfied that It has cared them It has certain*
ly slopped tbe Ague In orery one who has need it, and elx
of the coses were of long standing. My sister, who has
had It fbr five or six years back, and could never get it
stopped, excopt by Quinine, and that only as long as the
wonld take it, is now, I think, entirely cured by yonr rem
edy. 0. B. McGINLY.”
Take no more Arsenic, Mstcnry, Quinine, Strychnine, or
Antt-Periodics, or medicines of any kicti. the virtue of
which is owing to such poisonous drugs The most they
can do Is to 44 break the chills 44 fbr a abort time, while they
are sure to causa constitutional maladlea that cease only
with Ufa. Remember that the only Fever and Ague reme
