A E,QY ONE HAN BILLED !
Laet Saturday evening a number of
tc laborers engaged at work on the line
of the Delaware, Lackawana and West
trn Ivailroad, near this place, got into a
fijht at the Liquor Shanty, of Mr. Pat-
in k Brown, situated in the lower end of
town. The following are all the particu
lars we could gather in relation to this
sad affair I About 5 o'clock in the after
noon a number of Irishmen met at the
tdiop of Brown, and after partaking pret
ty freely of whiskey, two of them got into
a fight, when Peter Brown separated the
belligerents and put the offending man
out of the bouse. All was quiet till
about 7 o'clock in the evening, when an
attack was made upon the Shanty, the
door and windows were broken in, and
the inmates, five in number, were beaten
in a shameful manner.
On Sunday morning last, Mr. Patrick
Brown, one of the injured men, died.
Esquire Burnett, summoned a jury of
twelve men, who held an inquest upon the
body, and returned as their verdict that
44 the deceased came to his death from
blowB inflicted on the head by a person
or persons unknown."
Twelve Irishmen supposed to bo con
cerned in the murder of Brown, were ar
rested on Sunday and lodged in jail to
await their bearing, which will take place
Id a day or two.
Brown's remains were taken to New
burgb, New York, for interment, on Mon-.
day last.

Open America Organization.
T,he Chairman of tho-State Executive
GommiUcv'ot tile or3ginalN'ativo Amer
ican Organization, Peter SIcen Smith, is;
out in a lengthy communication in favor
of an open American Convention, to be
held at Ilarrisburg, sometime during the
coming summer, for the purpose of nom
inating candidates for President and Vice
President of the United States, who- will
represent the American party and its
principles. In this connection we may
ndd that tho " Natives" are organizing
clubs in Philadelphia with a view to the
support of Commodore Stockton, of New
Jersey, for President and Kenneth Ray-
ner, or some other distinguished South
erner, for Vice President.

Buenos Ayrean Affairs.
A letter from Buenos Ay res, dated
2Gtli of December, is published in the
New York Post, which gives some mat
ters of iuterest iu that countr'. The vic
tory gained by Gen. HoitNOSover the in
vaders of Buenos Ajres has saved that
province from being forced into a confed
eration with the other Argentine provin
ces. Gen. UrQUIZA, President of the
Confederated Government, is supposed to
bve instigated the invasion. He has
made the Buenos Ayreans an offer of per
manent peace, which has been accepted.
The peace thus concluded recognises the
province of Buenos Ayres as a distinct aud
independent State. Mr. Tedex, resi
dent Minister from the United States Gov
ernment to the Argentine Confederation,
arrived at Buenos Ayrcs" in October.
After spending a few weeks in town he
proceeded to Parana, the seat of Govern
ment. The Germantown, Commander LynCH,
is at Buenos Ayres. The wheat crop is
said to be unusually abundant and of
good quality. Vegetables are scarce aud
high. The wool clip is very large, but it
is all going to Europe, and in the same
direction tho hides, tallow, bones, and
horns are going also. The low prices of
fered for these articles in the United
States markets is the cause.
The order of American Mechan
ics, in Pennsylvania, has issued an ad
dress to the public, in which there is much
force and truth, and in which they say

Bight. Mr. Killinger has introduced

all means become a law.

Cattle Dying- by Starvation.
The Winchester (Clarke county, Ky.)
Chronicle mentions several instances of
cattle dying in that county, from starva
tion. Mr. Marion Christian has lost four
teen-head. Mr. Wm. Tate has lost five
head, and Mr. Johnson Watts seven head
of Cue steers. Cause, great scarcity of
provenuer.
A Hard Winter. The sheep in some
of the Western wool-growing regions have
suffered severely during the past winter
the great drought of last autumn having
destroyed their pasturage. The Cleve
land (Ohio) Leader, of Monday week,
says: '
"The farmers of Carroll county have
lost a very large number of sheep. One
man's flock in that county has suffered a
diminution of live hundred head. Almost
every sheep grower has sustained loss.
Ihe clip of the great wool region of Ohio
will be considerably reduced from that of
last year."
A Smash vn. ID the forepart of last
week, the third floor in Butcher's mill, in
Mooreland, Montgomery county, gave
way, and precipitated 1500 bushels of rye
into the tail-race, the floor above came
near falling, also, it having a large quan
tity of corn aud wheat on it. Much of
the rye was wasted, which seems hard in
these "hard limes." No person was in
jured.

The Poolo Tragedy.
- William Poole, the youug American'
pucilist, who was recently set' upon and
shot by a gang of assassins, of foreign
birth, at Stanwix Hall, Broadway, N6w
York, died of his wounds, at 5 o clock on
Thursday morning, the 8th inst.
Deceased was aged 33 years and 8
months, and was born in Susses, . J.,
K.,f n-nrf ;n "tfnw York 24 years. He was
a butcher, bavin? succeeded his father in
the Washington Market, and recently be
came proprietor of the Bank Exchange,
,ir;lrino- nlacc on tho corner of Broad
nn, Tfnward street. He leaves a
wife and one child, a boy 9 years old,
,ri,n nm much distressed at their loss-
Thc reports show that ho met his end
calmly, and gave directions as to his fu
neral, &c. ...
Onlv a few minutes before expiring he
remarked, with ereat distinctness of voice,
,4I think I am a goner. If I die, I die a
true American; and what grieves me most
is, thinking that I've been murdered by a
set of Irish by Morrissey in particular."
He gave directions to have his body o
niif1 hv nhvsicians after death. Ho was
J, J J
also particular how he should appear in
his coffin. He expressed a wish to be at
tired in a suit of black clothes, with pat
ent leather boots, and have a white collar
folded down over his coat. He had, it
seems a great horror of being interred
(under ground,) and has been known to
l IT. .1
turn away nis eyes, wuen uirt was mrown
upon coffins, at funerals, he had been at
tending. He requested that a deceased
child of his, now buried iu Creeuwood
Cemetery, be disinterred, and placed iu
the same vault with him, upon his breast
Five of his alleged murderers, viz
John Morrissey, Charles Van Pelt, Cor
nelius Linu, Patrick McLaughlin, Alias
Paugene, and James Turner, have been
arrested and are held in custody. The
three first named are held as accomplices,
and the two last as principals. Lewis
Baker, who fired the fatal shot, and ap
peared to be one of the most blood-thirs
ty of the assassins, made his escape. He
was a police officer, and is beleived to have
been assisted in eluding arrest, by his
bretheru of the craft. A reward of $500
is offered for his apprehension and con
viction. He has been traced to Jersey
City, where he managed to escape, and
took refuge, as i3 supposed, somewhere
in the vicinity of Spotswood. It is stated
that he reached Amboy on Saturday in a
boat rowed by two men, and offered 85,
for a team to take him to Spotswood,
which was only ten miles distant. He is
reported to be fully armed and will des-pc-r'wv
resist any attempt to arrest him.
Baker, T'ur':r,- Morrissey and Mc
Laughlin, are all under lijuic-tment for a
nrevious attemntto murder Thomas i72?-
the well known American Pugilist. It is
to be hoped that this gang of assassins
win now meet tne icnominious rare wuicu
justice awards to those who deliberately
destroy human life.
Ihe funeral of Wm. Poole took place
on Sunday last, and was attended by the
largest concourse that ever assembled to
perform the obsequies of a man who nev-
er held official btation or distinguished
himself by important public services.
The streets in the vicinity of his residence

space directly in front of his house, the
windows, piazzas and roofs of the adja-

streets in New York and Brooklyn through
wuicu tne procession passea, were nneu
by an immense multitude of spectators,
whose appearance and- demeanor were in
tile highest degree respectable and decor-
ous. Ihe iNew 1 ork limes accounts for
this great popular out pouring, by the fact
that Poole had a great many friends a-
j the class to which ho belonged,
comprising not only the fighting men and
rowuies oi tne t-ity, out tne butcner.s, me-
chanic3 and working men at large. He
had many good qualities, was bold and

by an impressive address.
Pursuit of Baker. Further Particulars.
The mystery attending the whereabouts
of Baker, who was concerned in the mur
der of Wm. Poole, is solved, and an un
heard of amount of corruption and infi
delity of some of the New York officers
disclosed, a number of them having been
actually engaged in assisting his escape,
and defeating the ends of justice. Judge
Staurt, who suspected the true condition
of things, instituted searching investiga
tions, which resulted in tracing Baker to
Jersey City, where he had been secreted,
and whence he sailed on Saturday in the
brig Isabella Jewett, for Palmas City,
Canary Islands. It appears that by the
aid of his friend, S. McLaughlin, of Jer
sey City, he crossed over the ferry dis
guised as a milkman, and was secreted
in the house of Mr. L.'s hostler, where he
remained several days, during which he
read the accounts of the murder in the
newspapers, and was frequently visited by
his friends, including some of the New
York officers. Judge Stewait, on ascer
taining the fact, came over to Jersey City
on Friday night, with a posse and visited
the house in Barrow St., but through some
treachery, Baker was forewarned, and
escaped, so short a time previous, that
they found his bed still warm, and blood
stains from his wounds upon the sheets!
They continued the search through the
neighborhood without effect aud finallv
returned to the city. It was subsequent
ly ascertained that he was smuggled on
board ihs Isabella Jewett, Uien Ijxng at
Jersey City, waiting for fair weather to
tan ior tne uanary j.sjuiius. j van-
tain, alarmed at the dangerous character
of his passenger, objected at first, but
finally consented to take him upon re-
ecu ing an extra fee from Baker's friends,
She sailed with a fair wind on Saturday,
but as her destination is 3000 miles off,
a steamer can probably overtake her al-
though she might not start in pursuit be-
fore Monday next. Commodore Vand-
crnnt s new steamer, tne "luagnona, wa?
offered by that gentleman for the sum ol
20,000, but the city authorities being
I 1 1 mt Vi f Pii 1 rt c flmm i..i.l.f t-r eirr ri...t
a sum for the purpose, had not concluded
to accept the offer, until better advised
as to tne extent to wmcn tuey mignt law-
fully go. If Baker ouce lands at Palmas
he cannot be captured, unless the Spanish
authorities choose to give him up.
Judge Stuart has obtained trora the
Quarantine at Staten Island abatch of let-
tcrs which Baker had given a boatman to
deliver to his friend, officer Linn, includ-
ing letters to a Judc of one ot the citv
courts, and another to his lawyer iu iSew
York, in the latter of which he discloses
all with regard to himself, but their con-
tents are kept strictly private. Judge
btuart has since been taking testimony a-
gainst various pcr&ons suspected of being
accessaries after the fad to the murder, and

Destitution in England had almost
reached its height. From the combined
curses of an unusually severe winter, un-
usually dear prices for all descriptions of
provisions and a total stagnation of trade,
the poor aro in a deplorable condition.
Many thousand laborers have been for
weeks without food, excepting the supplies
of charity. A riot of two or three days
duration occurred in Liverpool, and in
London some disturbance occurred among
the unemployed. In other places much
distress existed. At the sailing of tho
Pacific a change for the better had taken
place. A sudden thaw had set in, and
business iirproved decidedly.
Louis Napoleon seems determined to

changed. A battle was fought at Eupa
toria. On the 17th Gen. Liprandi with
a torce about equal to, or perhaps a Ictt
thousand superior to the "iurks. attacked
them, and after four hours firing, retired
beyond the range of shells from tho
English ship, the aurks not pursuing
Omar Pacha commanded. The Russians
were in considerable force, 20,000 infant
ry and 6000 cavalry. The loss of the
Russians is put down at 500 men. Tho
luruisn loss was liiconsuierable. It is
belived that the importance of the battle
is overestimated.

anu tne siege operations were progres

ceived at Constantinople to prepare hos
pital beds for 50,000 men, from which it
is inferred that an assault is to be mada
