On a forehead low nnil fnir.
No hush of brilliant loveliness

And touching in its graie.

No cloud on other's glee;
And ever on her pale young lrow

A lH-rndfitl Murder.
Moskok, Walton Co., (Sen., Aug.
There was a horrid tragedy enacted in this
county last Friday. Mr. JohIoii Harris mur
dered his wife and iiKithcr-iii-hiw, hy rutting
the throat of the former in a most shocking
manner, and beating to death the lattrr with a
large stick or nulc. Mr. Alfred Wlialcy, the
son id' the old lady, and the sifter ol Mrs. Har
ris, living within a piarter or half mile -of the
place, twain heard of the murder of ln.s moilier
nnd sister, and went over to arrest I larris. He
fiinml hint in the house, and his sister lying dead
in the yard, with her throat cr.t from ear to ear,
hi mother lying near, not quite dead. Harris
was armed with a rifle, arid would not allow
Whaley to approach the house, nor go to the
bor'ies of his dead sister and dying mother.
Whaley being unarmed, went oil and ga
thered K ine of the neighbors, three or four in
number, and went hack armed with guns and
pistols, to take Harris. Harris swore that In;
would not he taken, anil was trying to get a
chance to shoot those that had come to take him,
when Whaley shot at hut missed him. Harris
then came out of the house with his gun ruck
ed, when Whaley again shot and killed hiin-on
the spot, one of the halls passing through near
the heart. The family mi b;th sides, are -very '
respectable, and possessed of considerable pro

Ammh a W have lately looked over some
drawings made by a traveller, recently return
ed from Central America, representing the ru
ins of an ancient city, not yet visited by Ste
phens snd Ciithcrwood. They have the same
general character, but tli'ir preservation in
some respects is more perfect. The principal
of these ruins are at a place called elm-hen, '
situated in the midst of a vast plain, tilinn.-t
midway between the twooeeans. On the top- j
of the pyramids, resembling those which Mr. :
Stephens met with in other places, mid wh;eh j
he conjectured to Ik.-the bases of public build-,
ings, this traveller actually found massive edili- 1
ces in a state of tolerable preservation. Among I
them was one differing fr,ml the rest in ha- j
vinga circular liirm, and in being rouudi d it the I
top, in a mapiier somewhat rrscmb nig a dome.
He found walls, vaults, and floors, covered with j
a hard Ooinisition bearing a high finish, colored :
interior walls, sculptures in relief, stone
rings fur tiro hanging of large doors, runt "vari
ous otherevulcnccs of art and skill in the con
struction of habitations. We understand that it
is the intentiotl of Mr. Norman, the tr.ivelb-r in
question, to publish an account of" his Ut t.i
Yucatan, and a description ol these curious re

ccr of distinction lately returned from a cruise

This vessel having been built here, her
model being the work of nn American naval
architect, and her machinery designed and
constructed hy our own mechanic, we still
follow her fate with interest, and therefore ex
tract from a letter of the F.nginecr who accom
panied her on her voyage out, who is still re
tained in her by the Fmeror of llussin, the
fiillow inff particulars of her performances.
'Our first trial,' he say", 'was to Sweeborg
in Finland, n distance of.'KKI miles, in compa
ny with the steamer Hercules, which had the
eldest son of the Emperor on board ; we then
made 12 Ul knots by the log; the engines
worked excellently making lf turns with2S
feet wheel diameter, by 13, feet wide, 2 feet
depth of bucket, 4 1-2 feet dip from which
you may judge of our speed.'
'The second Irinl was down to the fleet in
the (lulph, in company with two" iron steamers,
and another with the Emperor in person on
ImvitI. The Emperor, of course, went ahead,
but the others we heat three miles an hour, out
nnd returning.
'They are now all satisfied we can beat Ihcm
all. To-morrow we start tiir Prussia with
Prince Mensekotl n board, to bring the King
of Prussia to Kiissih, to celebrate the' twenty
live years marriage of the Emperor. We may
then expect more piesents. I liave already re
ceived from the Emperor, a Ting w ith twenty

CAM!'!. os tiik Wfmtun Pkaiiiu-s. A
writer in the New (ienessee Farmer, a native
ofltussia, who has passed many years of Ins
life in that portion of the empire bordering on
the I'ral and Volga river-, suggests that the
Camel would prove a most valuable animal for
burden in those piaines, and especially tor tra
versing the country in the liir w o.t, where wa-J
ter is sometimes not found tor" days, lie says
that camels in the unsettled country would be
tonud gix.il to carry mails and convey intelli-!
gen-e. Their speed is gteat, 1211 miles being j
a co, union day's travel for speedy animals, anil '
that the breed mg i-i camels would not be more
expensive than horses. They may be obtained
on the P.iatk Sea, and the writer suggests it
Agricultural Societies would import a few pairs
they would confer a great advantage on this
country. From U(MI to IIHMI bounds, w ith a ri
der, is a common load for a camel ; and the
commonest herbage, even weeds anil twigs, will
snflice for their sustenance while enduring the
severest labors..
Mr. Column, the editor ofthe Farmer, is dis
posed to think the foregoing statements worthy
of consideration- 1 le says :
"The facte given in respect to the speed of
the camel, their strength and capacity fur bur
den, their endurance of fatigue, and the cheap
ness of their tupHrt, nrc well established.
They are of a mild and peaceable disposition,
and live to a great age. We had suposed that
they could not endure our climate, but the state
ment of the w riter of this letter sIio a s that it is
otherwise. That they would be useful on the
prairies and in the long journeys now constant
ly undertaken in the vast and unsettled plains
towards the Ilocky Mountains, into Mexico, and
other territories, now and likely to remain im
penetrable by carriages, it would seem but rea
sonable to believe."

From a rcmrt made to the lmdon Hoard of
Trade on the comparative safely of steimboat
and railway travelling, it npears that from the
1st of January to the 1st of July, 1-11, but
thirty lives weie lost by railroad travelling;
of those, three passengers lost their lives fioni
causes beyond their own control ; two suffered
tor their own folly and negligence; fi were
trespassers on the road ; and the remaining
2(1 were engineer-, laborer and workmen on
the line ol the railway. The number of pas
sengers travelling wan 0,122,IHKI distance
travelled 1"2, llll.Ol (I miles, and the number
of persons killed from co uses he) ond their own
control was.'l.or 1 out of 11,(1 It l.titili passengers,
or. mother words. 1 passenger lost his life for
each till.M.'VfcM miles travelled.
The author ofthe report Mr. Iing, shows
by a number of lints that railways are the
-afest of all modes of conveyance, uud more
particularly so than steamboat travelling.

Arm. The Philadelphia Ledger of yesterday,
in alluding lo the distress brought upon the coun
try by the failure ofthe United Htatp Hank, says;
"It was but yesterday that we wero made ac
qn dntcd with the history of a family of female
an aged mother and thico daughters who, before
the failure ofthe L'ni'cd Slates Hank, were worth
thirty thousand d vllnrs. The who of this sum
was in vi sled in the institution namcil,and from tl e
whole of which they could now probnbly realize o
vpr one hnndred or two h (indeed dollars ! They
dressed and lived during their prosperity as their
amount of property seemed to justify, and without
preparing themselves in any particular v.icntioo
with which to struggle ag iinst competition fur their
living. When adversity came they could turn their
hand to no occupation with p-ofit, even had labor
been offered them. 'I he a p .rel that they posses, d
when their niifor nnp fell upon them enab'i d to at
tend thpii church and appear in the atrept resppcta

thai they were among the vietima of the plunder

to hear a preiicher from 'the wilds of America.'
He accordingly attended, and was so much

he expressed his astonishment loud enough to
be heard half way over the house in such terms
as these 'lie is a wonderful man !' 'Why, he

Sevei.il Mormon fannies f.nm Shamokin town
ship, in ibis cuimy, passed through this place on
Wedue-ilay la-l, on llieir way lo the Holy city of
.Nauvisa, in III. They were accompanied by seve
ral young Scotchmen, M rmons, from the old coun
try, the youngest of whom was, we believe, a piea
cher of that seel, a smooth facrd, ruddy countenan
ced chap, apparently not more than 22 years of age.
They stopied in this place some three oi four hour,
during which lime, ihe young divine came in con
lac' with the Itev. Mr. ISergstresser of li e Melho
dil Church of this place. The Mormon was a
pi b w ill his I on cue, and as cool and cnllecnd a
an Fpicurinn Philo"phrr. He had evidently stu
died the scriptures, ami stored hi nil niory w iih
such patsnges a were r ileuhlrd lo propogate their
faith, by misleading I lie ignorant, Unwary and su
persliii. u. lie li ul however met, in the person
of Mr. Ilerestrr er, a gentlcmnn as calm and col
lected as bim-elf. and the prompt and teady man
ner in w biih Mr. H. answered his nuneroiis ques
tions, (f .r the M rmon. yankee-like, srgupil hi ide
of die subject by asking a great numler of ques
tions.) soon satisfied us that Ibe Mormon must be,
ei niual'v, w r.ti d in the argument. The Mor
mon having quoted a certain pis-age of scrlptuie,
Mr. l)ergt'fscr asked him lo read the rontrit
and make ihe appbea'ion. The Mormon besil-i.
led at fust, mid the i s'atcd that be could easily
ejl.in ihe subject, bin that he did nol choose lo
do so, Prohiihly one nf tl.e greatest stumbling
blocks to the .Mormons, al pr. sent, is Tic fact, thai
their grc.il piophet, Joe Smith, is now a fugitive
from justice, on a charge of having U-en Ihe insti
U itor of ibe aitempti d murder of t'ov. Dog;; of
Missotiii, l y fuing a i-lo al him through his wio

be a mere fine, and as J ' i- unwilling to submit
