appears that - for some time past his mind
has been deeply exercised by the subject
of religion, and be spent his spare mo
ments in reading the Bible. On Saturday
this young man and a brother were en
gaged together harrowing afield. Jacob
was observed to go to a woodpile and pick
up an old ax and examine it, without,
however, laying anything which might
lead to suspicion that he intended any in
jury to himself. The rest of the family
went to dinner, slid Jacob not making
his appearance, his mother went in search
of him when she found him lying at the
woodpile, covered with blood, and one of
his feet lying some twelve feet from him.
The tourniquet was applied to the limb
which checked the hemorrhage, but the
patient was so much exhausted fromthe
loss of blood that it was found necessary
to wait three hours before amputating the
limb—an oneration found necessary to
reach the blood vessel'', which had con
tractoi. The amputation was then se
complished without further flow of blood,
and the boy appeared to be doing well
for a Tew hours, when he expired sudden
ly. When asked why he thus muti
lated his person, he replied that it
pas necessary to the salvation of
his soul, as Christ had commanded, that
"If thy hand or thy loot offend thee, cut
It of l fa ll nd cut it from thee." It appears
tha „ er examining the axe at the wood
pile, he got another one, which was
sharper, and which he used, and after
taking off the boot, and stocking, he put
hlsleg on a block, Chopping off the foot
at three blows. The first cut was made
transversely on the leg, and severed both
bones, a few inches above the ankle; the
second, which was in a diagonal direction,
and a little higher, also cut off both
bones; the third completely severing the
fibers of the muscle by which the loot
still adhered to the leg. After the foot
had been cut off he deliberately picked
it up and hurled it some feet from him.

The act while objectionable in ha pro
visions, was doubly obnoxious from she
iniquitous conception, and the indecent
haste with which it was hurried through
the Legislature. It was empbatlcallythe
most rascally and corrupt measure ever
passed. It was a job, from beginning to
end. The stealings were to be immense,
and the - apportionment bad already been

exploded the whole affair. The people
of the Commonwealth owe him-a debt of
gratitude for preventing the robbery.

RUMOR OF TROUBLE.
A rather startling rumor has crept out
Indicating some imminent prospect of a
difficulty with Mexico. It Is known that
the subject has been a theme of consid
erable diestaution in the Cabinet, and it
is supposed It relates in part, at leant, to
the persistent violation of the United
States revenue laws. Strong represents
dons in regard to the matter have been
made to the Mexican government but
without avail. The loss to the Treasury
by these frauds is reported to have been
something enormous. The present rel.
mor seems to imply that the War De
partment will next take' a hand In the
solution of the question which has thus
far eluded diplomacy.
RIVERS AND HARBORS.
The House Sub Committee on Com
merce have prepared a bill making ap
propridions for the improvement of
rivers and harbors. Among the sums
agreed upon are for Des Moines Rapids
8400.000; Lonisiiile canal 1250,000; re
moving obstructions and snags from
Mississippi river and tri butanes 1150,000;
for Ohio rlfer 850,000; and for the
