Northampton County Court.
The August session of the courts of this
county, commenced on Monday last.
The first case taken up was the Common
wealth vs. Barnet Andrews. The Grand
Jury, at the April term found a true bill
against the prisoner for the murder of
his wife, on the 22d of March last. The
Whig says the panel was run out by
challenges and excuses for various reasons
given by the jurors. The Sheriff called
in a number of talismen, and five of them
were sworn to make up the jury of twelve.
The case was probably brought to a close
yesterday. In our next paper, we will
endeavor to lay before our readers a full
report of the case.

tion assembled at Pittsburg on the 11th

Tests 1:1 on 5' of a Neutral Paper
for Geu. Scott.
The New England Farmer, not a polit
ical organ of either party, one of the a
blest agricultural papers, thus speaks of
Winfield Scott:
" Gen. Scott is a man of inestimable
private character, and is not less respec
ted in his social than in his public rela
tions. Brilliant as his military services
have been, his efforts to preserve the
peace of the country on several occasions,
when but a breath was needed to fan the
smothered flame of resentment into open
war, are still more worthy of our grati
tude and admiration. That lie possesses
administrative qualities which fit him for
the Executive chair of the nation, his
political opponents, whether Whig or
Democrat, will readily admit; and should
he be elected to this high office, we doubt
not he will fill it with honor to himself
and credit to his country.
Neat Way of telling: a Fil.
Some of our Democratic contempora
ries, finding it is impossible to bolster up
Gen. Pierce's courage with facts, have re
sorted to deceptive inueudocs. Here is
an example :

We have no doubt they would have been

having been flaunted in the face of the
Whigs for several days, a gentleman,

A Father Shot ry his Own son.
We learn that a most brutal murder was
perpetrated in Perry County, Miss., a few
days since, by a boy. fourteen years of age,
upon his father. A man of the name of
Pearce, laboring under the influence of
liquor, whipped his son one morning last
week. The boy then went to a neighbor's
house and borrowed a guu, as he said,
for the purpose of hunting. He returned
to his father's residence, and shot him.

K. and her daughter passed Donogiiue 1
in the street, near his residence, and re-;
marked to him that she. did not believe
he would ever see his girl again. Upon
this, D. went into his house, and immedi
ately came out with a shot-gun in his
hand, and accompanied by his wife, who
had a rifle. He followed after Mrs. K.,
and coming up with her, struck her a
blow with the butt of his gun on the back
of the head, which felled her to thc ground
and as she fell, he struck her another
blow, which broke her neck. Mrs. K.'s
daughtgr ran with all her speed from the
murderer, when he snatched thc rifle from
hi3 wife and shot the girl dead. D. then
reloaded his rifle, and went to the sash- j
factory, saying that there were two men
there whom he would shoot. He finally
went to a tavern in the villiage, and there
repeated that there were two persons in
the sash-factory whom he would kill.

Upon the discovery of the murder of
Mrs. Kinney and daughter, suspicion was
aroused that Donogiiue was also the mur
derer of his own daughter. Some of the
citizens repaired to his residence, where
they found his boy, and questioned him
regarding the whereabouts of his sister. He
said he dared not tell what he knew, for
