(From Iks Wabash Ohmh-Kim,
AWFCL DISCOVERT.
A WHOUI fAMILT MCBDKSKD.
Yesterday evening, about dork, s report
reached town that a whale family were dis
covered burled apder tbe floor of the cabin
which had been occupied by tlie Hubbards,
who are now in Jail charged with tbe murder
of Hoylos. The awful news 'spread rapidly
over town, and In half an hour or loss, ths
Coroner, wit h jury, and some thirty or forty
citizons started for the place. We Immedt
ntclv set about flndintr the troth of the story,
nnd'are Indobted to Mr. Jsmcs Wilson for
what follows Yesterday (Tuesday) morn
ing, Mr. Wilson and M. I. Thomas, Consta
ble, provided with a warrant, started down
Ihe canal to arrest the wife of Hubbard, late
developments rendering it highly probable that
be was accomplice in the murder of Boylcs.
They proceeded to Mr. Gardiner's works,
five miles west of town, where they found tho
woman and arrested her. . Mr. Lovcland sug
gested to Mr.-Wilson that suspicions were en
tertained that the Hubbards.bad mnnlored a
whole family lost fall. As soon as Mr. Wil
son heard this, he, in company with Mr. Love
laud, went to the house of Mr. Fisher, where
they ascertained that some tinio in September
Inst this Hubbard famitv.went to board with a
family by the name of French, who then lived
in the cabin since ooenpied by tho llnbbards.
This French .family consisted of seven per
sonsthe father, motherland five children.
They were ft very poor family, that had been
living in the neighborhood six or seven years,
and were well known by all the neighbors.
During last summer, the old man French
had raised a small patch of coin and somo
garden stuff the whole of which, together
with the furniture, was not worth over fifty
dollavs. Some time in October, Mr. Lewis,
a near neighbor, went to the cabin of French
to purchase his corn. He was met at tho
fence in front of the cabiu by tho Hubbard.s
and was told that, the night before, Mr.
French's brother had come alonir with a
wagon, and had taken Mr. French's whole
family along with him, and had started for
Illinois, and that they bad purchased all their
things, including the corn, garden and furniture-
A. day or two afterward, Mr. Stearnes
Fisher went over to inquire if the French's
needed any assistance, and was met in tho
same way by tho Ilubbards, and was told tho
game story.
No suspicion was entertained at tho time
that foul play had been used, and nothing oc
curred until after the body of Boyles had been
found and the Hubbards were arrested. It
than began to be thought these monsters had
murdered tif i whole family. . On hearing these
statements, Mr. Wilson determined to go and
search tbe premises. He then went down to
Gardiner's works and procured a shovel and
pick, and tried to get some one io go with
him. No one, however, believed the story,
and so no one volunteered to go. While they
were talking, Mr. Thomas came np, and he
and Mr. Wilson proceeded to Hubbard's, and
found the door locked. They drew the sta
ple with the pick, and entered the house.
They found the floor raised, and some dirt re
moved. "Mr, Miles Morgan, constable, had
been there previous, scarchin?. and had dis
covered a piece of skull bone, and had gone
away. 1 ueytben proceeded to lig away the
dirt aud discovered the body of an infant,
very much decayed. They immediately left,
and came up to town and got the Coroner,
who summoned a jury, consisting of Stearnes
Fisher. J. Lewis, D. Brooks, F. Lovelaud,
M. W. Stober, Dr. J. W. Jellison, who at
one proceeded to the placo, which they reach,
ed about "7 o'clock last evening. In the
presence of a large company, they proceeded
to examine the place where the infant had
been, discovered, and, horrible to relate,
found seven bodies, consisting of the entire
French 'familv !
- Their skulfs Were all broken in, and the
legs of tho old man French and his wife were
broken, so that they could be doubled op and
forced into the hole, which was three or 'four
feet deop. They were laid in a heap, the
father and mother at the bottom, and the
children on top. The babe was about fifteen
months old, and the oldest child about fifteen
years old. There were three girls and two
boys. The children were much decayed, but
the parcuts were still sound, and wore easily
recognized by those who had known them.
There is not tho least doubt that the Ilub
bards arc guilty of this wholesalo and damn
ing murder. It is almost too horribble for
belief, but facts are as above stated, and the
conclusion is irrcsistiblo. Mrs. Hubbard will
be examined to-day. There seems to have
been no other motive than tho obtaining what
few worldly goods this poor family possessed,
which were not worth over fifty dollars.
TUB FAMILY OPPOSED TO NEWSPAPERS.
The mau that don't take a newspaper has
been in two lately, as we learn from a con
temporary. He brought the whole family in
a two horse wagon. He still believed that
general Taylor was President, and wanted to
know if the "Kamschatkians" had taken Cu
ba, aud if so, where they had taken it. He
had sold his corn for twenty-five, cents, the
price being thirty-one but upon going to
deposit tbe monev, they told him it wasmost
ly counterfeit. The only hard money he had
was some three cent pieces, and these some
sharpers had "ran on him" for half-dimes.

Reports on a uniform series of text books
on the standard qualifications for teaching
011 normal schools, and on the effects of the
new system of electing County Superiuten-
dnnts, were read and discussed. A few
amendments to the law are to be submitted
to the legislature. The result of the conven
tion appeared to bo highly satisfactory.
BRICK OR WOODEM BUILDINGS.
We are pleased to see that there is a grow
ing disposition among our builders to put up
their buildings with brick instead of wood.
In regard to tho ultimate economy of using
brick, instead of wood, we think there cannot
be, at this day, any doubt. Some years
since, when lumber was cheap, it was 0 dc
bateable question, whether a good frame or
brick, was cheapest. But now when lumber
has risen in price, to from 80 to 100 per cent
and brick arc the same as heretofore, there
cannot be two opinions on tho subject. It
is true that a frame may bo put up cheaper
than brick, but not a really a good one, and
when it is np, it is not worth as much by 30
per cent, as a good brick. Besides itis much
and less durable will cost more to keep it in re
pair. These are considerations that should
iuduced every man who has an eye for the fu
ture, as well as the present, to reflect before
he puis up a frame, perhaps temporarily and
in haste, maur of which, if not taken cure
of, have an old dilapidated look, in a few
years, whilst the change of a brick from a
new one; would scarcely be apparent. There
are other considerations, such as safety from
fire, price of insurance, 4c, which might be
urged in favor of brick.

THK HEW LIQUOR LAW.
We publish this week the new Liquor Law
that has Just been passnd by the Legislature)
entitled an act to "Restrain the sale of Intoi
Icating Liquors." The act Is a bungled piece
of work in regard to Its phraseology, and is
anything but ezplioit In its terms. Accord
ing to the construction of some no .license
can authorise the sale of liquor aftrr the first
of October next, notwithstanding the clause
in the last section of the bill.
Our impression is that all licenses granted
previous to the passnge of the law, will hold
good for the year, or torm for which they were
granted.
Tho law provide, that Jo m and after the
st day of October next, it shall, be unlawful
first
to keep or maintain any house, room or placo
whore vinous, spirituous, mall or browed
liquors, or any admixture thereof, can bo sold
or drunk. That all persons who violate this
section shall bo deemed guilty of a misde
meanor, and, npon conviction, shall be sen
tenced to pay a fino not exceeding ffly dot
Ian, and shall undergo an imprisonment not
exceeding one month. That for a second, or
any subsequent offence, tho penalty shall be
a fine not exceeding ono hurdred dollnrs, and
imprisonment not exceeding three months.
That it shall be unlawful for any person to
sell spirituous, malt or brewed liquors in less
quantities than one quart, and even then li
cense must be obtained from tho Court of
Quarter Sessions ; and no license shall be
granted to tho keeper of any hotel, inn, tav
ern, restaurant, eating-house, theatre, oyster
house or cellar, or other place of entertain
ment, amusement or refreshment. That no
license shall be granted without the payment
of three times the amount now fixed by law,
and in no case shall a license be granted for
a less sum than $30. That the license shall
be conspicuously displayed in a frame nnder
glass, nor shall any license authorize a sale of
spirituous, vinous, or malt liquors on Sunday;
that the provisions of the act as to appraise
ment or license, shall not extend to importers,
to commissioned auctioneers, nor to brewers
or distillers selling in quantities not less than
five gallons,
aS3T Tuk Constitutionality of the Liqvob
Law. The passage of the liquor law, rcstric.
ting the sale of liquors in Pennsylvania and
Now York, 1ms caused a great deal of excite
mcnt among liquor dealers of Philadelphia
and New York, and they seem determined to
test the constitutionality of such legislation.
They contend that, as the act of Congress li
censes and authorizes the importation of li
quors, the sale of it in any measure cannot be
prohibited by local jurisdiction.
CJ" We received a few days since the fol
lowing brief epistle, post paid, thanks to the
late postage law. The Doctor, is not as bud
as somo others, who would not take the trou
ble to inform the publisher of a newspaper
wheu they are about to make tracks for the
West. We therefore publish his note vtrba
tint et literatim, to show that wo are not un
grateful for favors received. Kansas must
soon become a great state, and its editors
grow rich, when once settled by men so con
siderate and enterprising.

LORD PALMKRTON A SO Sim. BUCHARAS.
At a recent celebration' of lbs London
Seamen's Society Lord Pal mors ton was in
the chair, and while toastlngtbose sovereigns
who had contributed to the society, he drew
the attention of the company to Mr. Buchan
an, the American Minister, who was present.
"We cannot," said his lordship, "claim him
as an Englishman, but we will not acknowl
edge him wholly to be a foreigner ; he rep
resents, indeed, only another member of our
own family. I trust that the identity which
prevails between us in that medium 01 Ideas
which is called language may long continue
to imply an identity of sentiment and feel
ing, and that when be returns to his native
land, ho will be able to bear with him tho
expression of esteem and admiration and
friendship which tho people of this country
'Sr
he will diffuse among them t!
rrmcn, and that
those sentiments
which, I am confident, they entertain for
us." I Lond cheers. 1 Mr. Buchanan rose in
reply, and said, I can truly say I do not find
myself a stranger in a strange land. We
speak the same language, we read the same
books J In both countries we worship the
same God, according to tho dictates of our
conscience, and there is none to make us
afraid. Cheers. Life, liberty, and proper
ty are equally protected in both countries 5
both have a free press ; pnblio opinion has
full away, and we speak a language which can
never be spoken in anv country in which
slavery practically exists. Loud cheers.
A stranger coming to. England must be great
ly strack with your noble charities, which are
of the most magnificent character. Provi
dence has blessed yon with boundless wealth,
and has inspired the hearts of the posessors
of that wealth with the desire to remember
their poorer neighbors, to relieve poverty
and distress in every form, and in what more
benevolent form could such a desire '10 man
ifested than in support of this institution t
unecrs.j -
1 Know of no eountrv which ought to be
more careful of their seamen than the mother
country and ourselves. We are certainly
more extensively engaged in commerce than
any two countries in tbe world, and 1 nope,
whilo there muBt necessarily oe compeuuon
between us, that it will be an honorable and
a friendly one. God knows the world is wide
enough for the commerce of both countries.
Iot us. therefore, encourage each other, in
stead of evincing a narrow aud jealous spirit,
lUheers.l No other two nations enjoy nsi:
so much commercial intercourse, and if over
there should be a war between these kindred
nations, which God in his mercy forbid, Loud
Cheers, the suspension orcommerce between
them for one year, would injure both to a
greater extent than war ever inflicted on any
other nations, we have, tnereioro, every
interest, every inclination and every feeling
to remain friends, and to preserve amicablo
relations forover. We sometimes complain
of each other we are, in fact, both complain
ing nations occasionally, Laughter; but I
can say, with the mostpcrrect truth that there
exists iu my own country an under-current of
kindly and gracious feeling towards the moth
er country, and if ever the time should arrive
when it shall become necessary to dovelope
that feeling it would exhibit itself to tho
astonishment even of the people of England.
Loud cheers lollowcd Air. JJucnanan to nis

Kansas. From all accounts, the recent
election iu Kansas was a gross fraud perpe
trated on the resident citizens of that terri
tory. Several thousand armed men from
Missouri, it is alleged crossed over into Kan
sas in wagons and on horseback, armed with
revolvers and Bowie knives They took pos
session of the polls, and threatened the life
of every person whom they suspected of anti
slavery feelings. It is said that the Governor
of Kansas is going to Washington, to lay tbe
rascalities perpetrated m the election before
the proper authorities. It is alleged that his
life has beeu threatened ; that the despera
does havi; sworn to spill his blood if he makes
any such attempt to assert the rights of actual
settlors iu directing their affairs. A despatch
to tho St. Louis Republican of the 7th inst.,
says tliat a majority ol the pro-slavery mem
bers in each House have received ccrtincatcs
of their election. If these allegations be
true, the facts are disgraceful, and if the
General Government has tho power to reach
the I rami!' , it should set the whole election
aside. 1 ho conduct of tho anti-slavery peo
ple who first went into the territory was just
of that kind to invite tho fiercest opposition,
but no indiscretion can legalize Iraud.

A Wolt Amoko ms Lambs. The Cincin.
nati Enquirer of Wednesday eobtain an ex
position of a series of villainies perpetrated
in that vicinity by a reverend Importer by the
name of John II. Wilson. The preacher had
"killing accompaniments," and was engaged
to oe married to no less than eleven unmar
ried belles. Some of them had advanced
him money to purchase articles of housekeep
ing. We quote the concluding part of the
story I
Tbe manner which led to tbe discovery or
Wilson s multifarious engagements was, that
S couple of the betrothed met by accident in
a fashionable dry goods establishment in this
city. After mutual recognition, tbey procee
ded to examine various fabrics, and make
purchases for the approaching nuptials. In
the course of conversation, tbey made mutual
confessions of tbe contemplated marriage, and
discovered tbey were engaged to the same
man. A fainting exhibition of course follow
ed. The disconsolate damsels returned with
out their purchases to the quiet village, where
they speedily proclaimed the villany of tbe
rascally pastor, who, getting wind mat an
was discovered, made tracks between two
days during tbe past week.
Since his exit, it has been discovered that
he sometime ago forged a draft on Mr. Elliot,
of the Methodist Book Concern, which was
honored. No tidings have been heard of him
since his absquatulation, but we presume he
will turn up under another name, when he
can discover a convenient field to reap a har
vest, by playing npon the credulity of the
susceptible feminines who have a jtnehant
for love and sanctity.

Among the most startling wonders in con

velocity, and at the same time with tbe tele
graphic stations on the line, whilst the latter
are at the same time able' to communicate
with the trains. H is added, that M. Bonelli

Iron Walls. Tho New York Journal of
Commerce speaks favorably of an iron wall.
designed as a substitute for bricks in build
ings. It says :
"The pieces employed are ingeniously
shaped so as to secure lightness with great
strength, apparently, and the wall thus con
structed mav be easily taken in pieces and
re-erected, with comparatively nine taoor
and expense. The most striking peculiarity
is. that the plates of iron used in formiug
walls are connected without bolts.
