"naporttint Dec igioll
The Supreme Court of this State, Judge
Lewis delivering the opinion, has decided
an interesting case. The Court of Com
mon Pleas of Philadelphia county instruc
ted the Jury in the case that if they be
lieved "that the defendant was the tenant
of the plaintiff, and rented the land of
him for
. farming purposes, and the nut
cure was made upon the land in the ordi
nary course of farming and was heaped up
in the yard, and the defendant, about the
time his lease was to expire, took the ma
nure (now the subject of controversy) and
hauled it away, without the consent of the
plaintiff, when there was no authority giv
en by the lease for hint to do so, the action
can be sustained, and the plaintiff will be en
titled to recover the value of the manure
that was in this manner taken and carried
away." An appeal was taken and the
Supreme Court affirmed the division.

STEAM AND GAS FIRE ENGINE.-A
Steam and Gas Engine for extinguishing
fires, has been invented by Mr. William L.
Lay, of this city, says the Philadelphia
Sun, who has taken measures to secure a
patent. It is intended to be the fireman's
friend, by doing the severe work, and re
quiring attendance only. It is so construct
ed as to propel itself to fires, and to work
the pump when there, by the rotary mo
tion which drives the wheels, while the
wheels, by a contrivance, arc made to act
the part of flys.
When the engine is standing in the en
gine house, says the Scientific .fimerican,
the boiler always contains a sufficient
quantity of water to get up steam, and at
the same time is charged with carbonic
acid gas by suitable aparatus, until it con
tains sufficient to work the engine for ten
minutes, in which time steam can be raised
to take its place, when exhausted. The
kindling and fuel is laid in the fire-box,
ready to be ignited in an instant. When
an alarm of fire is given, the engineer
mounts his seat, and by opening the throt
tle valve, the engine will instantly propel
itself in the direction of the fire, while at
the same time the kindling in the fire-box
is ignited, and the blower being in motion,
will raise steam in time to work the en
gine before the gas is used up. When
the engine arrives at the fire, by merely
choking the fore wheels, and pulling the
lever connected with the standards, the
hind wheel will be raised from the ground,
and act as fly wheels when the rotary
pump is put in motion by lotting on the
steam. The pump will force three or four
hundred gallons of water one hundred feet
high per minute, which will extin
guish any ordinary fire in a very few min
utes. It is intended to use two three
horse power engines to do the work. The
whole will weigh about one and a half
tons.
MANY.
co— A Harrisburg correspondent of the
Village Record, says :
Quite a number of petitions have been
presented from the western part of the
State, praying that the law prohibiting the
circulation of foreign small notes may be
repealed; also for authorizing our State
Banks to issue small notes. The members
of the Legislature from that section aro ex
ocedingry anxious to bring these things
about. They represent the present condi
tion of things as intolerable. It is not
unworthy of remark, that the hue and cry
of the deatoracy against Banlcs, has vastly
subsided. We can all recollect the clam
or that was raised a few years ago. Now
the opposition to Banks could hardly be
inferred from the tone and action of the
leaders of this party. Democracy, which
as they say, “is'always and ' everywhere
the same," has vastly changed, since I
first made its acquaintance. Wherever a
Bank is wanted in a democratic county,
the members pursue such a line of policy,
that no ono could suppose them to have
conscientious scruples against these ~mons
ters." Nearly all the bank Borers, who
have exhibited their faces at Harrisburg,
are democrats!
117 — A bill is now before the Legislature
which changes the salaries of Associate
Judges. It gives those who do not at
tend court more than four weeks $120;
those who exceed four, and not reach eight,
$160; those who exceed eight, and not
reach twelve. $200; those who exceed
twelve, $250., •
MnArictiorx AeotbENT..—A young
lady yesterday standing on the Bath track,
at Brunswick, waiting for the Kennebec
train to pass, was killed immediately by the
Bath train backing over • her. The whole
train passed over her, except the engine.--
tier name was Lincoln, the daughter of
widow Lincoln, of Brunswick, about 18
years old, and very beautful. her body
was horribly mangled. There was an
other lady standing with Miss Lincoln, but
she saw the train just in time to escape.—

From California,
The steamer Daniel Webster arrived at
New York on the 13th inst.,from San Ju
an. She brings the following news :
On the night of the 4th inst., occurred
the most destructive conflagration that the
city of San Juan de Nicaragua has ever
witnessed. At least one-third of the most
populated section of the city has been de
stroyed by the devouring element, including
the large and valuable property known as
the United States Hotel, owned by P. F.
Maneoses; dwelling house and counting
room of Mr. S. Shephard, agent Royal
Mail Steam Packet Company; dwelling
house and store of Don Francisco Granias;
do. of Pedro Pous, do. Domingues; besides
a large number of other houses occupied
by natives, and stores owned by merchants
in Granada.
The city was not provided with fire en
gines, Capt. Platt, of the Albany, sent
Lieut. Armstrong with a crew and engine,
to their assistance, Capt. Fade of the Ex
press with his crew, ropes, &c. And
through the exertions of those gentlemen
and their men, at length the flames were
arrested. The large ware houses of Mr.
Deforest, Manche Sequold and others, had
a narrow escape from the flames.
In this heavy calamity it is a satisfac
tion to state that no loss of life has occurred.
FROM SAN DIEGO.—The Indian distur
bances appear to be entirely at an end, and
affairs aro settling down into their accus
tomed channels.
The two Lugo's charged with an assault
with intent to kill, and forcible resistance
of the Sheriff, have been discharged by
Justice Mallard.
The grand jury of the county of Los
Angeles have found eight indictments at
their last session—one for murder, four
for assult with intent to kill, and throe for
grand larceny.
The Star publishes a portion of the evi
dence in the case of Edward Hines, who is
on trial for the murder of Carriage. The
trial was not concluded at the last date,
but was exciting much interest.
We clip the following from the Star.
TILE SOUTHERN MINES.—Mr. Charles
Herald, who has been on a prospecting ex
pedition beyond the Mohave, informs us
that ho found gold throughout the whole
range of country which he had visited.—
Even in the Cojon Pass,he found placers
which he believes may be worked profita
bly.
The quartz mine at the Salt Springs, ho
says, is the richest he has seen in the
country, and he has seen most of the quartz
mines, north and south.
We learn that some alarm has been ex
cited in the neighborhood of the Vicente
ranche, in consequence of some seven or
eight Indians having been seen prowling
about, with the intention, it is supposed, of
stealing stock.
AFFRAY.—On Wednesday last, Corbel()
Varel, was stabbed in the breast by Felipe
Ballosterro, in the course of a quarrel be
tween the two. The wound is not consider
ed mortal. No arrest.
A company of forty Sonorenians arrived
at Temecula a few days since. They state
that they have suffered considerable loss iu
in property by the Indians, whom they
represent as very hostile. The fact that
they escaped with their lives was doubt
less owing to their travelling in so large a
company. _ _ _
c.a. OF THE WAR—The late Indian
war in the southern portion of the State,
which threatened at one time to be disas
trous, has at length been terminated.
The Executive of the State has issued an
order to Gen. Raines, commanding him to
proceed immediately to San Diego, and
disband the volunteer forces called into
requisition by Gen. Bean. The mustering
officer will probably leave in the mail
steamer, and in a few days will have ac
complished his task. It is to be hoped
that the excitement attending political
schemes at the scat of government, will not
make our legisla tors forget the claims of
those brave persons who so gallantly re
sponded to the call for services--.filta
Californian, 17.
By the Nevada Journal we learn that
two China men were murdered on Sunday
last near Independence rancho on Wolf
Creek. - They were killed by Indians.
The Marys - ville people have commenced
grading their plaza and constructing a sew
er across it, so says the Express. Also
that a now quartz vein has been discover
ed near Downieville.
A QUEER WAY OF SETTLING A DIE
ruTE.—A. San Francisco paper gives the
following account of a cool proceeding in
in that city, which illustrates very forci
bly life in California.
A party of four persons wore spending
tho Sunday quietly in playing all-fours.—
One of the parties, however, not content
with the chances of the game, and deter
mined to change the fickle goddess to his
side, established a kind of telegraph with
his partner, by laying his hand carelessly
on the table after each deal, and extending
his fingers; designating very intelligibly
the number of trumps which he held. The
device was ingenious and highly successful
for a while, butwas unfortunately discover
ed by one of his opponents, wise, on a repeti
tion of the offence, very dexterously whip
ped out a bowie-knife and cut off two fingers!
The unfortunate hombre screamed with
pain, and having picked up his slumps,
rushed from. the room. Ills partner in
quired of the amateur surgeon what his
reasons were ler such conduct, when he
quietly replied, "It was fortunate for your,
friend that ho had no more trumps, or ho'
certainly would have walked off with fewer'
fingers. Cool, that.

Dreadful Murder in Maryland.
CUMBERLAND, Md., Feb. 12.—A terri
ble tragedy was enacted here last evening,
which resulted in the instantaneous death
of Wm. 0. Sprigg, soh of ' Jos. Sprigg,.
Esq., of this county, by the handS of Rob-
ert Swan, brother of the late John Swan,
and formerly a Lieutenant in Capt. Arch- !
er's company of Voltigeurs, in the Mexican
war. It appears that a difficulty has ex
isted between those two young men for
some three weeks past. I will not under
take
to state the particulars of the affair;
but last evening Robert Swan entered the 1
hotel kept by Mr. Helfelfinger, at about 7
o'clock, armed with a double barrel shot
gun, loaded, as it seems, with a patent wire I
cartridge, containing bird and squirrel
I shot.
Upon entering the bar-room whore Sprigg
was, the latter, being unarmed, attempted
to escape by the back door; Swan, howev-
Aar, fired at him just as he reached the
door—a few scattering shot struck liim
upon the left cheek and shoulder. Sprigg
then turned and attempted to make his es
cape into the reading room, but just before
ho reached the door, Swan fired his second
barrel, which took effect in the back part
of the neck, the charge passing through
the head and coining out at the right eye;
he fell dead instantly. Swan has been
arrested, and intense excitement exists in
this community.

ARREST OP TILE SUPPOSED MURDER
ERS OF YOUNG LEHMAN.—Yesterday morn
ing, from information given by a citizen of
Southwark, whose suspicions were excited,'
officers Hamilton, Cllassmire and Myers, of
the Northern Liberties division of the
Marshal's poliOe f arrested two young for
eigners in the southern part of the town,
who are supposed to be two of the perpe
trators of the horrid murder'of the poor
lad Jacob Lehman. These men, on the 16th
of January, the very day they loft Rich
mond, rented a three story brick house, on
Front street, below Moore street, South
wark, a little above the Canal. They took.
the house from Robert Martin, melt for
the owner, a colored man by the name of
L. Cephas. Here they had , remained un
til this Morning. When the officers got
there, a car was backed up in the train,
with their furniture a few mean articles,
piled on it, ready to be carried away.—
They were taken to the police station of the
Northern Liberties, where they were pos
itively identified by the baker (Mr. Sny
der) who rented them the house in Rich
mond. They also acknowledged that they
had lived in this house at Richmond.—
They both have carpet bags; and from the
finger of ono of them officer Hamilton took
a ring of precisely the description of the
Icommon rings that were in the box of the
boy Lehman. The prisoners were convey
, ed to the main station of the consolidated
police in Adolph street, to await an exami
nation. They give the names of John
Shupuski and Mathew Shupuski. Their
appearance and mother language seems to
be Polish. The third suspected party, it
is thought, has gone to Baltimore, though
he may still be in the city. The police
arc after him in every direction.—Daily
Sun, Feb. 12.
A MYSTERIOUS DEATIL—On Sunday
morning, the 25th ult., says the Easton
Argus, a young girl named Mary Hogan,
in the neighborhood of South Easton, was
found dead in her bed. On Saturday eve
ning the friends with whom she resided,
left for some part of New Jersey on a vis
it to some friends, and loft the girl alone
in the house; according to directions, she
! was engaged in ironing clothes, a young
girl of the neighborhood called in and re
mained with her until 3 o'clock in tho
morning, whilst sho was thus employed
she heard a noise at the window and she
wont out, and in a short time returned to
the room as pile as death, whereupon the
young girl who was with her interrogated
her as to the cause, and she told her that
she had seen a friend who had died long
since, and told her that she was going to
injure her; the girl was very much fright
ened, and requested her companion to re
main with her during the night, who ro
fused and went home, after which she re
tired, and in the morning, when her friends
came home, they went into her room to
call, her, but to their astonishment found
her dead.
SEVEN Nzattozs have been committed
for beating and maltreating the family of
Mr. Place, of Waterloo. Ono of them
seized a young woman, Mr. Place's oldest
daughter, and commenced choking and
otherwise abusing her. This infamous
conduct roused the inmates of the house,
who endeavored -to defend themselves,
when the negroes commenced a general as
sault. After beating all tho older mem
hers of the family until they were senseless,
and throwing the young ones into the snow,
they finally decamped. Tho members of
the family gradually recovered their senses,
but were found to be shockingly bruised,
and some of them cut with knives, so that
their clothes wore completely saturated
with blood.
IILT" Tom Paine's Birthday (January
29th) has been celebrated more generally
this year, it would appear, than has hith
erto been the' case. The celebration in
this city consisted of a dinner, a dance,
and an oration; the latter a sort of eulogy
upon "the man to whom (quoting the
speaker) we are as much indebted for the
liberties we enjoy as to the living voice of
the greatest orator, or the sword of the bra
vest general." One hundred guns were
fired on Boston Common in honor of the oc
casion.—New York Express.
Sucu Is LIFE.—One of our Cincinnati
exchanges says, as a half-drunken woman
was perambulating the streets on Thurs
day night, the Bth ult., a rowdy led her
into a paint shop on Fifth street, and daub
ed her face in a mere blackguard wanton
ness, and then took her into a back room,
where there was a light. The light dis
coyered the disfigured face of his own
mother!
1r Jenny Liud was married by the
Protestant Episcopal rite. She is thirty
one years old, and her husband twenty
four. He is a gentleman and a man of
genius—of Hebrew origin,we believe. We
well remember his performances on the
pianoforte, too good for the popular appre
ciation, and never deviating from the se
verity of art to draw out the public plau
dits by trioks of clap-trap, which he had
dexterity enough to do if lie had chosen.—
On those occasions Jenny, who was not on
the stage at the moment, used often to
stand forward in her private box and clap
her hands vigorously iu sight of the audi
ence, who by no means seemed to share
her admiration for the pianist. However,
she understood his merits a great deal bet
tor than they did.—New York Tribune.
tt.f" Mrs. Partington nominates poor old
General Debility, as her military candidate
for the next Presidency.
HORRIBLE BIURDER.—We learn from
a gentleman, belonging to Far Rockaway,
Long Island, that a most inhuman and
unnatural murder was committed at that
place, last Sunday night, by a father upon
his own child. It appears that a man by
the name of Thorne, who has kept a store
in that village for some months bank, on
Sunday, ;dile untie. the influence of ar
dent spirits, commenced breaking up the
furniture, crockery, St., of his store, to
which his wife objected, at which ho at
tacked her, and in the melee a young child,
less than a year old, wad struck by the
father, with his clinched fist, which broke
the nose of the child; by this time the in
furiated ruffian had removed all the cloth
ing from his person, when he rushed into
the street and violently assaulted several
persons who were returning from church,
he continued in this enraged way until
night fall, when he made a second attack
upon his wife and child, which resulted in
the death of the child. This monster it
seems had sense enough to make - good his
escape and has not since boonfound.—X.
Y. Tribune.
PROTECTING LETTERS.—Mitny thous
ands of letters sent to the post-office arc
returned as dead letters, the persons to
whom they are sent not being found.—
These are destroyed unless they contain
enclosures of some kind; and often infor
mation of value to the persons addressed,
or their friends, is destroyed with them.—
In a new edition of the regulations of the
post-office about to be published, it is pro
vided that in every case where the writer
of a letter chooses to protect it from the
chance of being opened at the Department,
and destroyed as a dead letter, be con do
so by prepaying the postage, and writing
legibly on the sealed side the words "to be
preserved," in which case it will be rescued
from the liability of being contmitted to
the flames, and its seal will remain intact.
THR BRUTUS OP FRANO.E.—Who will
immortalize himself by ridding France of
its usurper? When the next coup d dal
in France is struck, wo are inclined to
think with tho Mirror, that LOUIS NAPO
LEON will ho the victim, instead of the vic
tor. But vengeance will come, not from
an uprising of the People; not from au
emu le in the streets of Paris; but from the
bullet or the dagger of tho assassin.—

diseases; it acts as specifically upon the liver es
calomel ; cohand prostrates the system—the hit
