Ltncu Law is' Illinois A Man aks JIib Wife IIuno Keiththurg, Mercer Co., 111., May 9th. A day or two since our usually quiet community was thrown into a high stale of excitement by un occurrence which 1 have thought may be worthy of a recital id your paper. It seems that some few days ego a inau and bis wile, by the name of liell, were arrested and examined before a Justice on a charge of Btealing 180. Nothing conclu sive wja proved against them, bst they wero still held in custody for some reason which I have not as yet leurced, and as they manifes ted no desire to escape, they were kept in the house of Justice Dilley. On Wednesday night, May 4, when no one was dreaming of danger, a number of men in disguise broke into the house at which they were staying, and after fastening tho Justice in his room to prevent his interference, tbey proceeded to tuke possession of tbo prisoneie. a in man loncbt like a tiger, but was aoon overpowered, and both were carried off into the W00J3. I hey were told that if tbey would not coofecs the theft and givo up tho money they would be immediately hung. As neither one would acknowledge anything, they at once proceeded to accomplish their fiendish purposes. 1 he man was hrst hung op and kept tours ontil he was entirely unconscious, and then, witb a reSnemeot cf cruelty which could only be looked for in the most hardened brutes, I14 was taken down and buried iu a shallow bole, which was dag for the purpose to make hU wife believe that he was dead, iu bop of frigtening her into a confession But the woman was plucky, and would give tliura no satisfaction. h was accordingly swung up by tbo same rope used on her husband, and was lot haiig tilt life was Dearly extinct. Iu the meantime the nun was taken from his grave, and the lynchers finding that nothing was to bo got out of them, after some difficulty resnsciated them, and left them to get home as best they could. This diabolical proceeding has ana keaed the deepest indignation in the commu nity, and should tbe sutTurersbe able, as they say they are, to identify any of their persecu tors, no paibs will be spared to bring them to justice. No arrests had beeo made up to yesterday, but preparations were being niade for the apprebeosion, of three or four of those concerned. As 1 bad the particulars from one of the individuals who bad charge of the prisoners, you may rely on their correctness. Chicago J'rtti and Tribune. Fro Dcrxos Avres.

Many peoplo take newspapers, but few preserve ihsm; yet the most Interesting reading imaginable is a file of old newspapers. It brings up the very agn, with all its bustle and every day affairs, and marks its genius and its spirit more thtn the most labored description of the historitn, Who can take a paper, dated half a century ago, without the thought that almost every name there printed is now cut upon a tombitone at the head of an epitaph- The doctor (quack or regular) that there advertises his medicines and their cures, has followed the sable train of his patients; the merchant his khips could git no security on his life and the actor who could make others laugh or weep can new only furnish a skull for his successors in llnralst. It is easy to preserve newspapers, and they will repay the trouble, for, like that of wine, their value increases with their years ; and old files have sometimes been sold at prices too startling to mention. C3T A Villainous Thick. Every now and then a new trick is resorted to by villiaos who are too lazy to work for a living, and bonesl people are surprised and open their eyes in astouitbmuut at it for a while. We have just met, in an exchange, tbe following, which we publish to place oar readers upon the look out, as the same thing may be attempted here : "A New Dodoe. A canning rogue, as we learn, baa been doing the people in a manner that is as cool as ingenious. Ho calls at the house, and, ef.rr exhibiting tbe etlects of his varnish upon furniture, offers the bottle of varniab for sale. Most of tbe ladies take it, aud the gentleman requests them to furnish him with a bottle, as the one exhibited is more convenient to carry about. He then supplies them with a mixture or molasses and water, goes to the next bou'e with strong recom mendations from the places previously visited, and sells another bottle of bis valuable mix ture."

Nkw York, May 24, 1850, After a week or more of rain and gloomy weather, we are again blessed with tbe light of tbe sun. Vegetation i very forward, and th prospect of fair crop it everywhere ap parent. The grain crop in the West, thus far, is tnottt -promising. This, with tbe rise in price of produce, in consequence of th war in Hurope, must place our western friends in a mora comfortable position than tbey have occupied fur the last two years, when, without produce or money, tbey were pros trated by debts; many beyond tbe means of redemption or recovery. Tho late arrival have bronglit nothing decisive io regard to the programme of the war in Kurope. The Aastriant have, from some censes, been most dilatory in not taking advantage of their position before the arrival of the Trench. Whether the Hungarians will rise again and take advantage of the slat of affair is a mutter of doubt. Surely they never could desire a more favorable time or more favora ble circumstances. The Hungarians, how ever, are divided into factions. I was con versing, a few days since, with aa intelligent Hungarian, who camo over with Kossuth, and was surprised to find him most bitter against his (juandam friend, who, he said, lacked judgment and discretion. One of the complications brought about by this war is the unstable position occupied by the Popo of Rome. The Emperor of Austria, in placing Ancona, a city in the do minions of the Pontiff, in a slute of siege' show that the Pope is no longer treated with that deference he at one time received' and that bit temporal power is fast waning' and hit spiritual doe not seem to fare much better. Uutwcrn the elements of the French and tbe actions of the Austrians, Pio Nino seems to have got himself in a tight place. It would be a small matter for either to overthrow his government. The thtnders of tbe Vatican have long since lost their po tency, and the papal hierarchy only exists now by sufferance. It is even binted that his holiness may be obliged to fleo, and that he will, perhaps, come to tho United States to seek an asylum. It is also hinted that Louis Napoleon may tako him to Paris aud keep bim there as a kind of state prisoner. If the milleniuni is not at hand, something else is, as some of the sovereigns of Europe will find out before another year. I paid a visit to-day to tho fine steamship "General Admirul," built by Mr. Webb, of Now York, for the Russian government. This magnificent vepsef is said to be the largest wooden chip in the world ; the build and ull the equipments being exclusively American, at a cost of a million of dollars. Mr. Paul Morphy, the great champion of tbe cheea world, and who his jnst returned from Europe, after having beaten all the best I players of the old worli, is now enjoying the honors of his triumph among his friends nnd conutrytnen. Mr. Morphy is a native of New Orleans, and ia yet a young man. 1 1 is friends, in this city, nre about to present him with a eplundid testimonial, in the shape or a magnificent chess. board and chess-men, made of solid gold and silver. I stopped iuto the jewelry store of Tiffany & Co., ou Saturday last, to look at this elegant and costly gift. Tho body of the board is of rosewood, about two feet square. Tbe border, between tbe 1 squares and the edge, is beautifully inlaid j with gold and silver. The squares are made of pearl and of ebony. Tho chess-men to be used on this board are original designs, made j of gold and silver tbe pure metal alone ; costing about eight hundred dollars. Tho board itself cost two hundred dollars, and . the whole is valued at sixteen hundred dol- lars. Tbe King of the gold men is an ele gant statuette, dressed in royal robes, with a ball on bis head, and a crown and sceptre at hit feet. The piece weigh two ounces. The Queen, is aldo a statuette, nicely en graved, end weighs nearly as much as the King. The Bishops are lighting prelates of the time of the crusades. The Knights ure statuettes of horses, rearing on their hind legs. The Hooks are figures of elephaott covered with tiger skins, and furnished with castles, on tho battlement of which Ameri can eagles are just spreading their piuioos, and weigh five ounces. The Pawn are Ro man soldier, in full armor, with drawn sword in right band and shield in left, aud weigh two ounces. The pedestals of all the pieces are of fine cornelian. The silver men differ slightly from the gold men. One of the greatest landscape painters of the times is Mr. Church, whose great picture, "Tbe Heart of the Andes," will place binuin the front rank of his profession. This beau tiful picture, which is about ten feet by six io size, represents a scene in the heart or one of the most majestic of this great chain of mountuiut. About one-third the way up is a beautiful streutn or lake, witb a splendid waterfall. Around this romantic spot are dwellinps and other sign of life, but above there it nothing but a vast and continuous uiouutaio range, which like "Alps upon Alps arise." Below is so mo vivid romantic scenery end dense forest. Perched on a bough is a most beautiiul bird, perbaps tr.e bird or Paradiso, its brilliant hues almost dazzling the tight. Mr Church it yet ayoungtnan a native of Connecticut, and bat previously distinguished himself by bit painting of Ni agara FalU. This painting bat been on ex hibition for four weeki, and tho receipts have been $3,173. Yesterday being tbe last day, previous to it departure for Europe, where it will be engraved, the rccciplt amounted to $533. After this it will oot do to say that native art meets with no encouragement. Tbe picture it valued at 20,009. Mr. Church's agent informed me that it eccapied him about tlx month, and that Mr. Church did oot iutend to tell it. Mr. Buchanan' policy it making things more contemplated every day. Even bit Southern friends, for whom he bss sacrificed very thing, are giving bim the eold shoulder, Tbe Washington correspondent of tbe Charleston Mercury tayt : 'Before Mr. i Buchanan' Administration closes, 1 expect to tea tbe State iiigbt party, and nearly the whole Southern press, opposed to it. Tbe Union cannot be preser ved by further concession of Southern richt. "1 have good autbority, alto for laying that serious diQerence epon matter or principle, well as policy, have disturbed th harmony I uf tbe Cbint." The story that Judge Doaglas, had chang ed bis policy is without foundation. Tbe Judge adheres to the policy of the Cincin nati! platform. It ia not be, bat the Admin istration, that have changed. The Washington correspondent of The Philadelphia I're says : "All the stories now circulating in the press to the effect that Senator Doagla has made certain peaceful propositions to th Administration, and that be is or. tba eve of being reconciled, Ac, are fabrications. Judge Douglas bae nothing to compromise nothing. He will maintain the position he hat assumed in the Senate and io the ranvar in Illinois to the end ; and if the Administra tion cornea to It, to much the better Tor it." "Occasional," of 'the Philadelphia Press, states that it It not doubted that tbe Ad ministration has issued order to the differ ent Northwestern States where tbe Demo crats have nearly unanimously accepted the Douglas Platform, to allow no man to be sent to the Charleston Convention who does not accept the new theory of Congressional interference in the Territories. The troubles or tho Philadelphia Post Office ure not yet settled, but it is thought that Westcott will be dismissed. Some of the friends of Mr. Westcott, threaten tome strange disclosures if he should be dismissed- Proceedings of the Borough Council. SvxBuar, Mny 23, 1850. Council met pursuant to adjournment.

A man named Kicbard Mabooe, the father of three children, waa deliberately shot and killed at a public bouse, by John V. Claw sou, who wus immediately arrested. Tbe Commercial thu details tbe circumstance which led to the deed : Clawson is a young man, not probably over twenty-four years of age. Ilia troubles seem all to bave accrued from an unl'orluuate mar riage. Six year ago, he led to the altar a young and beaatiful girl of Philadelphia. The marriage waa opposed by both bi and ber friends. Tbe objection urged were their ages she oot fifteen, while he wanted three years before attaining his majority. Despite the warnings and counsel of friends, they eloped and were married clandestinely. They caaie to this city, and for two yean their lives were happy, but at last the tempter in vaded tbe sanctity of their borne, and tbe girl though a mother, (till girl again eloped not us wife, but as a mistress. Sbe was soon forsaken by ber seducer,' and wri ting to ber husband who still cherished for bis erring wife an unaltered affection a peni tent letter, he received ber again, witb all impeifcctions. Two more year rolled away b performed Io the interim the duties of a wife and mother, io their fullest tense, tbe dark spot on their marriage existence wat almost foigotten. when a fiend more arcb than the first, ingratiated himself into their household, and succeeded io alluring ber from the path of honor.
