We publish in another column the pro
ceedings of the Court of Dauphin county, in
ithe " conspiracy case." It appears from
cso proceedings that the prosecuting at-
irney was silly enough to disclose the ar
rangements which had been made by him
and his masters, to" convict the democratic
Irebels, right or wrong," by packing an an-
timasontc jury. Asati evidence of the truth

fied that the latter was the case, and had it
the secret, the rights and liberties of the
defendants might have been sacrificed to
complete this deed of villainy.

Animal Flower. The inhabitahls of

plant. In a caverij of the isle near the sea
is a large basin of water, which is brackish
and its bottom composed of rocks; from
these proceed beautiful flowers of bright
shining coln,& nearly resembling our mar
igolds. These seeming (lowers, on the ap
proach of a, hand, retire like the sudil out of
sight On' examining their substance close
ly, there appears in the middle of the disk
four brown filaments resembling spiders'
legs. Tho legsjhave pinchers to seize their
prey and upon seizing it, the yellow petals
immediately close. The body of the ani
mal is about the size of a raven's bill.
Literary Chronicle.
.Rohan Potatoes are about as much 'the
rage' as mulberry trees. They are rarely
bought by the bushel, because that would
involve too great an expenditure, but by tho
dozen or single one I ftlr. Augustus Olarli
in this town is selling them as high as 0
pennies a piece or 06 cents per dozen, at
wlncli any reader can tell better than we
can, what tncy would reach by the bushel.
t . . . . 1 1 . i .
mu aner an, tnese potatoes at sucli prices
are doubtless profitable potatoes. Every
thing of this sort is valuable in proportion
to its capacity for re-production, not leaving
out oi sigiu us goodness. Hence, it one
Kolian will produce more than a bushel of
good sound nutricious potatoes, is it dear at
a sixpence! Many experiments have been
tried winch establish the character of this
potatoe for an enormous yield. Aside from
ts use tor man what a capital root for cattle!
But perhaps we only waste ink and paper
by trying to persuade people to " feather
their own nests" by cultivating Rohan po
tatoes. North. Courier.
Fatal Accident. OnlSaturday night last,
about 9 o'clock, two boys one about 11 and
the other 12 yeais of age, sons of Mr- George
VV. Uilloru and Win. Uook or this place,
were found buried in the sand bank a few
rods cast of the Unitaiiau Meeting House.
The circumstances, as near as we can learn,
are these: The boys were playing in a hole
from which so mo individuals had, during
the day, been carting some sand. They
were lest seen in this place about 5 o clock
P M. In consequence ol their not return
ing homo as usual, the parents of the
childicn became alarmed, and went out in
pursuit. They tracked to the sand bank,
and observimg' that the sand had but recently
caved in, commenced digging, tearing lliey
might have been covered up. In a lew
moments both were discovered and taken
out lifeless. It is supposed that they must
have been buried about four hours. Fall

SINGULAR CASE OF MURDER.
There was a murder committed on our
Levee, durinc Monday nicht attended with
some singular ciicumstances. A man by
the name of i liomas Berry came to tins
city some two or three days since in a ranoe
from the grand Iliver, and from his singular
costume and strango actions, attracted at
tention, and was considered by many as
insane. 1 lie tirst particular notice taken
of him, we trace to the National Hotel where
he dined on Monday. He sat at the table
till most of the boarders had left, occasion
ally changing his scat, and finally left with
out eating any thing paid his bill and de
parted. About 12 o'clock on Monday night, the
watch on board tho II. L. Kinney ob
served a man running towards the boat, and
as lie approached tbe river bank faltered and
fell partly into the river. On raising him
tho poor man only exclaimed, 'I'm killed !
I'm killed 1' Just at this time Berry came
up, much excited, and inquired, 'what's the
mailer?' and from his actions, the watch and
others who had been called; suspicioned
him as the murderer, and on accusing him
of it,aftcr a little hesitation he acknowledged
the cri.ne, but said he was mistaken in tho
person. He then went into the cabin of
the Kinney, took a light uncovered one of
the cabin boys who lay asleep, and examin
ed closely the face, holding his already
bloody steel in his hand, with evident in
tention of using it again should lie recognize
the person as tho sought for victim.
This excited .the fears of the officers of
the boat, when they called in theciiy watch
and took Berry to the Calahouse. ' He,
however, resisted the officers with great
violence; and not until he was severely cut
& knocked down, could the officers succeed
in securing him. Yesterday he was exam
ined before Justice Sheppard, and commit
ted for trial in the Or mural Court at the
May term. The name of the murdered
man is Georgo Gardner formliy of New
York, where, we understand, ho has a
mother, two sisters and two children.
Wc held a short conversation with tho
prisoner yesterday: previous to his commit'
incut, 'and found him a man of tnine inlelh-
oenre and evidently laboring under insanity
lie says he was burn in dark county,
Ky. where his father now resides. His
father's name is John Berry, lie says he
lelt Kentucky last about live years since and
has since been in this State. Among bis
papers were receipts from the Land Office
at bpringtieiu, ftio. lor land in Kives co.
Also letters from Capo Girardeau, Mo. La.
Grange, Mo1 and Morgansville, Ky. Ho
says ho has two brothers in Rives county,
in this stale one named John, the other
Jonathan.
Deafness. Tho vapor of acetous ether
has been recently direpvered by Kramer,
a German artist to bo a most effectual rem
edy for a species of this distressing malady
hitherto considered incurable. Wc per
ceive by the last number of Dunglison's
Medical Intelligencer, that it has bceu lc-
cently employed by Dr. Bolton of this city
with tlio remarkable success.
Richmond Whig.
A New Gretna Green. The Buffalo
Commercial Advertiser says, " Buffalo is
becoming tho Gretna Green of the Cana
das. Scarcely a day passes but that some
Canadian lad takes his fair Dulcinca and
trips it over the border to cousumate in our
city the rites that make them twain one
flesh. This arrises we presume not from
the fact that runaway matches become ne
cessary to avoid parental injustice or intcr-
fcrernce, but to escape a heavy larift upon
matrimony." To get married in Canada
it costs some ten or fifteen dollars, in yan
kee land it is done fof one dollar.
Federal Garbling and Falsehoods. An
extra from the Intelligencer office the size
of a half sheet of that paper, was issued
yesterday, filled with a perverted account
of the proceedings on the indictment againnt
Messrs. Barton, Diller, and others. Ste
vens, Burrowes, and co. and their counsel,
feeling that they had been signally over
thrown and disgraced by the superior talent
ol Mr. Barton and the rottenness of thci
cause, have no doubt resorted to this dis
honorable expedient to savo their rcputa
lions abroad. They have written speeches
for Mr. Fisher which ho never uttered; put
language into the mouth ot Mr. Barton,
which he never used, and garbled and falsi
fied the entire proceeding of the court and
counsel. Such conduct is only worthy of
the vile traitors ot December, and their in
famous abettors. It is well that their de
pravity and baseness is so generally known,
that none will be imposed upon by their
malicious lubrications. Acy stone.
Cruel Hoax The Lincoln Gazetts, (an
English paper,) slates that a voung lady in
that place, having a pique against one of her
acquaintances, a M ss Uarrv, procured
suit of men's clothes, and an introduction
and under a pretence of a love induced
iliss 15. to receive her as a lover. She
carried on ibis hoax successfully for nearly
throo months, the two lovers wandering
lound the banks by moonlight almost every
fair evening; and the time was actually set
for their nuptials. At last, a mutual friend
discovered the cheat by accident and ac
quainted MUs B. with the hoax. Wheth
er a suit for breach of promise be Iho result,
we cannot say; but at last accounts the par
ties had not become reconciled.
Washing Trees. The following may
prove a useful hint io those who pro anxious
that their trees should possess a beautiful
appearance. The Boston Cultivator recom
mends lie from wood rshes or from potash
as the best wash for trees. It should not
be applied until May or June when it will
kill the moss and all the insects that adhere
to the bark. There is a small animal re
sembling a louse to b,c found on most young
trees. They never appear to move except
ing in the rnonlli of June, and then they
are not great travellers. The lie above na
med, if put on in Juno, effectually clears
the tree of this insect.
