A tocxo girl committed suicide in Racine,
Wisconsin, on the 27th ult., by jumping into
the river. The cause for the act was a charge
made against her by her employers of stealing
"Kin. After her death the money was found
in the house where she had lived. It had been
aeeidently mislaid.
Fjc-Xic. On Thursday last the members of
the Episcopal Sabbath School had an anniver
sary pic-nic party at Liberty Spring. A large
number of persons attended it. It was a very
Cue affair, was conducted in an appropriate
manner, and passed off finely and to the en
tire satisfaction of all present. !
Tna following is believed to be a correct list
of those States which vote prior to the Prcsi
- dential election : Vermont, Sept. 2 ; Califor-
ni, Sept. 4 ; Maine, Sept. 8; Florida, Oct, C;
Pennsylvania, Oct. 14 ; Ohio, Oct. 11 ; Indi
ana, Oct. 14 ; South Carolina, Oct. 14. Flor
ida and Indiana vote for Governor.
A delicate case has jast been decided in
New Orleans. A lady had ordered and receiv
ed an artificial leg from the manufacturer for
$250, aifd afterwards declined paying for tho
same. The maker had a writ issued, requir
ing tho Sheriff to take the leg into possession.
That gentleman gave his deputy the disagree
able job, and the latter functiouary, after some
trouble, obtained the litigate limb, and it is
now in the Sheriff's office at New Orleans.
Dividing tue Electoral Vote. In 1S20
John Quincy Adams received one electoral
rote in Xew Ilampshire, while the balance
were cast for Monroe s in 1828 F. O. J. Smith
cast one vote from Massachusetts for General
Jackson, while the balance were cast for Ad
ams. Also in 1823 the electoral vote of New
York was divided among four candidates;
that of Maryland among three, and of Dela
ware. Louisiana, and Illinois between two can
didates. Outlawry. The Calcasieu Prcst has a com
munication from Orange county,Texas, in ref
erence to an organized band of mail robbers,
horse thieves and gamblers, in that county,
who occasionally get over into the Parish, of
Calcasieu to practico their villainy. The cor
respondent of the Press furnishes the names
of the crew, and gives the different crimes of
which it is notorious that they are guilty.
They hang together, and aid one another in
such a manner that it is impossible to bring
them to justice.
Natcre sometimes plays strange freaks. A
largo majority of the fruit orchards in this re
gion are barren, but there is here and there
one which is abundantly fruitful. This is the
case with the orchard of Mr. Jacob Irwin, to
tho west.of town. Whilst the surrounding or
chards have comparatively no fruit at all, his
trees are overladen. lie brought a couple
twigs to out office as specimens, one of which
in a space of about six inches has thirteen
large, well formed apples, besides three which
were broken off in carrying the branch.
Bolloway't Ointment and Pills, the bestRem
edies in the Union for diseases of the kin.
The youngest son of Mr. Edward Wright of
Aberdeen, Mississippi, had the misfortune to
be afflicted with a most malignant disease of
the skin, which rendered the chili's life one
of misery and suffering. As tho mother had
tried every remedy likely to benefit him, with
out receiving the desired result, bhe became
ultimately worn out with trouble and anxiety
in the matter, and was lamenting the same to
a friend, who recommended Ilolloway's Oint
ment aiU Pills, which the mother commenced
using, and by persevering with tho same for
six weeks, the child was completely cured.
The Monroe Com niercial, one of. the oldest
Democratic papers in the -State, this week
hands down the nigger-driver's .flag, with the
names of the Cincinnati candidates, and runs
up Fremont and Dayton.
About a year ago a gentleman in Hartford,
Ct., while counting some bank notes, careless
ly wrote his name on the back of a 20 bill.
A few days since, a ton of the Emerald Isle
handed him the bill requesting him to give
him gold for it. The gentleman, on looking
at tho Bank Xote Reporter, found that the
bank had suspended payment, and accordingly
gave Pat specie for the bill he had so careless
ly endorsed.
James Smith, who cut his wife's throat in
Sheffield, Warren county, Pa., some time ago,
cut his own throat on Thursday a-week, and
died in an hour and a half. He came out of
the woods where he had hidden and was pur
sued by several men who were haying. As
they were overtaking him he fired his riflo at
one of the company without effect, and then
cut his throat from car to ear. He was armed
with a rifle, revolver and knife, and seemed to
posses the desperation of a fiend, lie had
been seen round there the night before, prob
ably starved out of his hiding place. His wife
is slowly recovering from her wound.
The msTOttf of the wild woman, who caus
ed so much excitement in Cincinnati recently,
has at length becu found out. J. W. North
colt, the person who had charge of her, has for
many years been a resident of Shreveport,
La., and his real name is Joe Williams, while
the "wild woman" is Ann Eliza Paul, well
known in that town as the mistress of Wil
liams. The whole affair was a scheme got tip
by Williams for speculation. Having availed
himself of the description of the capture of a
will man some years ago, which was written
for the" purpose of playing ofTa hoax, he adap
ted it to Ann Eliza, and with what success we
h.ive before mentioned.
... Shocking Delusion- The following horri
ble affair, is condensed from the Pennsylva
nia Inquirer. A young man died of consump
tion at the house of his father, a noted believ
er in spiritualism, in Bordcntown, X. J., last
week, and, after his death, a young lady, to
whom he had been betrothed, was married to
the corpse, by spiritual ceremony, a boy act
ing as medium ! The young lady at the fu
neral, raved and flung herself into the grave,
and was, with great difficulty, removed to the
house of tho deceased's father, where she has
since resided, and where, at meals a plate, cup,
and a portion of aH the condiments of the ta
ble, arc set apart for the dead man. whose emp
ty chair these victims of demonism suppose
to be tenanted by his spiritual body.
Whitehead, K. T., Aug. 4. On Wednes
day last, Gen. Richardson sent two men from
this place to reconnoitre Lane's regiment, 1 c
fore reported as making their way into the
Territory. They returned, this evening, and
state that just after crossing the Nebraska
line, they came upou an encampment of 250
Free State men ; they entered the camp, pre
tending to be ultra Free Soilcrs, were kindly
treated, and remained all night.
During the night, they learned that General
Lane had returned to Chicago,, to raise more
men and means to send after the party ; that
lie was going from thence to Pittsburgh and
Cincinnati, to raiso 5,000 men, charter two
boats, and bring them through to Kansas with
out touching at the Missouri towns.
That he would have sufficient artillery to
batter down any town from which an attempt
would bo made to intercept him. That his par
ty was waiting for forces then at Nebraska
City before moving down to Tojeka.
The spies were also informed that the parti
expected these forces on Wednesday, when
they would take up their lino of march. That
when General Lane touched the shores of
Kansas they would move down from Topcka
to meet hira.
That when they did join their forces with
Gen. Lane's "they would defy the BordcrRuf
fians, and all the United States to boot."
Richardson's spies then went up to Nebras
ka City, where they saw 2iX of the same regi
ment, from whom they heard confirmations of
the statement of the "vanguard." They are
all thoroughly armed with Sharp's rifles, pis
tols, knives, and have several pieces of can
non with them.
Gen. Richardson immediately sent a state
ment of the above to Gen. Persifer F. Smith,
and advised him that, if the U. S. troops do
not stop and disarm these murderers, he (Gen.
R.) will be compelled to call out the Territo
rial militia for that purpose.
The District Court is now in session here,
guarded by a troop of dragoons. Benjamin
II. Brock will be tried first ; he is charged with
having illegally acted as Judge at an election.
A SCENE 0? H0EE0S.
One of the items of news by the Canada is
an awful earthquake in the Moluccas, involv
ing a loss of nearly three thousand lives. A
spectator writes to an English Journal :
"Tho glowing lava streamed downwards
with irresistable force in different directions,
bearing with it whatever it encountered on its
destructive course, and causing tho sea to
boil wherever they came in contact. The hot
spring opened up, and cast out a flood of boil
ing water, which destroyed and carried away
what the fire had spared. The sea obedient to
an unusual impulse, lashed the rocks with
frightful violence, d-ashed upon the shore aud
heaved itself wiih a wild haste against the land
as if it strove to overmaster the firo stream.
This frightful picture of destruction, the
horror of which was increased by tho shrieks
of men and beasts, the wild roaring of the tem
pest, and the crashing of thousands of trees
torn up and catried away, was followed, about
an hour Inter, by peals of thunder which shook
the ground and de:ilencd tho ear. A black
column ofstoue- "ud ashes then shot up from
the mountain to an immense height and fell,
illumined by the glare of the lava, like a show
er of fire upon the surrounding country Klowr I
producing a darkness that, only now and then
momentarily broken by the flashes of light
ning, was so intense, that the people could not
discern objects close at hand, and which com
pleted their confusion 'and despair. Large
stones were hurled through the air, crushing
whatever they Jell npen. Houses and crops,
which had not been destroyed ly fire, sunk
and disappeared beneath the ashes and stones,
and the hill streams stopped by these barriers,
formed lakes, which breaking over their banks,
soon proved a new source of destruction.
This lasted some hours. About midnight
the raging elements sank to rest ; but on the
following day, about noon, they again resum
ed their work of destruction, with renewed;vi
olence. In the meantime, the fall of ashes
continued without intermission, and was so
thick on this day that the rays of the sun
could not penetrate through it, and an appal
ling darkness prevailed.
Scarcely recovered in some degree from
their fright, the inhabitants of this desolated
part, of Sangir were again disturbed by an c
ruption on the 17th March, which destroyed
many fields and a great number of trees on the
Tabukan side.
Since then the volcano has remained quiet,
the only symptoms of its working has been
the smoko rising up iu all directions from
cracks and fissures in the ground.
The loss of life has been great. It is esti
mated as lollows in tho under mentioned dis
tricts : Taruna, men, women aud children,
722 ; Kaudhar, men, women and chi ldivn, 40
Tabukan, men, women and children, 20SG.
