Desperate Encounter with Burglars.'
The dwelling of S. W. Murray, Esq.. at Wil
mington, Dcl., (who, with his family, was ab
sent at the springs,) was entered by two bur
glars on Thursday' night last. Mr. William
McNair and Mr. Jno. B. Nones, who were
Bleeping in the second story, wore aroused by
au attempt to open the door of their room, and
on jumping up they discovered a man coming
down front the third story, with an arm load of
articles. The Delaware Cilmette sari:
Mr. McNair having n revolver, fired twice at
the man descending the third story stairs, and
then once upon him who was descending to the
first floor, and followed the hitter to the back or
side door, into the part. which the burglars
had opened previously, and whore he obtained
egress. Mr. Nones next fired upon the man
descending from the third story. with a small.
single barreled pistol, the man hr that time
reached the small sitting room in the second
story of the back building, where the window
by which the rascals had entered remained
open on the portico. with which a grape arbor •
comvuunicated. The man exclaimed, "My
God! I am killed I" and stooped forward,
whereupon Mr. Nones rushed upon him, and
striking him over the head with his empty pis
tol, closed with him. A severe struggle en-,
sued, in which, the fellow being large and ath
letic, got the better of Mr.. Nones, (who was
but a boy of some 17 or years of age,) mid
having gotten him under, commenced check
ing him, when he (Mr. N.) called to his eon•
minion from below stairs for help. Mr. Mc-
Nair reaseended the stairs, saying he hnd two
or three loads yet left for the rascals,and bidding
Nones hold on to him until he would give them
to him. This seemed to frighten the scamp,
who, releasing Mr. Nones, fled towards and
through the open window, Mr. McNair, in the
meantime giving him one shot more, the only
one the pistol would discharge.
Mr. Nones' night clothes were completely
torn to pieces in the scuffle. The fellow
whom Nones assaulted was a ilegro, which fact
the former determined by the smell of his per
son, and the feel of his wool while they were
struggling. lie dropped his plunder of course.
It is not known whether they had previously
carried off anything or not, as none of the fami
ly are in town. The fellows escaped, one
through the adjoining yard of Mrs. Fell, where
his footsteps were plainly apparent the next
morning.
Indian Relic,
Mr. John F. Cotton dug n chnin from nn In
dian grave nt Fort Dickson, in Fayette county,
evidently once used by the savages, to confine
their prisoners while burning them at the stake!
The Democrat says there is no purpose of
civilized life for which it would be of any ser
vice. There, is a long centre ring, some ten
inches in diameter, to which is attached eight
chains and about twenty inches in length, and
at the end of each chain there is a ring curi
ously constructed of semi circular pieces of
iron, just large enough to admit a man's neck
and when fastened not to pass over the head.
The chains are about the size of ordinary trace
chains; very rudely made—and several of them
appear to have been exposed to the action of
fire, so much so that the links are partly melt
ed off.
In the same grave were found a guts barrel,
tomahawks, and pipes, and an immense quan
tity of heads and human bones, some of the
bones of giant size; a jaw-bone which was
found, when placed upon an ordinary man's
face so as to fit the natural position, is so large
that it can be turned up over the person s
head. There was also an enormous human
tooth found, double the ordinary size of teeth,
which has seven prong's or roots I The chain
was covered with a white rust, and was found
in a dry place between two flag stones, on top
of which were found the other things mention
ed, all of which hear the marks of great anti
quity.— Treftmoreland Infelligencer.
Deaths in the Late General Taylor's
Family.
The New York Mirror, in recording the
death of Col. Bliss, who fell a victim to yellow
fever, nt Pascagoula, on the sth inst., thus feel
ingly alludes to the occupants of the Presiden
tial mansion a few brief years ago:
"Only a daughter (the widow of Col. Bliss,)
of the victor at Buena Vista, of all his comity
who occupied the 'White House' is left. Whrit
a startling change since the hour that saw the
republican soldier borne by the burros of a
grateful people from the field of battle and per•
it and to him of outlying fame and honor, to
the highest seat of earthly power. Then, all
was life; the proudest aspirations that could
fire a mortal heart were fulfilled; the loftiest
ambition reposed satisfied under the shadow of
a goal reached unsolicited, a fame perfected
without blemish. • General Taylor and his
wife, and Colonel Bliss then lived; their prei
cut honored happy, their past glorious, and
their future bright. They are Oil dead! One
link of the loving and beloved circle of that
family group, on which the eyes of the nation
rested with delight, remains. She is, indeed,
widowed and orphaned—millions will share,
though they may not lighten her grief."
The old Moslem Fanaticism is said to be awa
kening in Turkey and all the Mahometan coun
tries of the East, 'on Recount of the aggressions
of Russia, and a bloody and ferocious religious
war seems imminent. The military prepera
tions of Turkey have far exceeded expectations,
and the warlike feeling grows in intensity; as
offers of assistance in men, arms and money
come in from the remote corners of the empire.
A recent letter from Constantinole says:
At Csetaria, where 20,000 students for the
office of the priesthood were assembled, war is
p renched from every mosque, and the students
parade the streets with banners, crying, "War
with the Russians! and death to the Giaour !"
and the:reports of the different consuls in the
interior speak of the same zeal and enthusiasm
.for the cause of Islam.

No. 36. Dr. Cooper's Vegetable Worm Pow•
ders, which are prepared by C. P. Hewes, are
playing havoc among the worms. The other
day we were shown two large Tape Worms,
which were brought from a gentleman by
them. Ono of these worms measures twelve,
feet, and the other nine. They are the first
tape worms we ever saw, and can say that
they are really a nasty looking concern to be
living in a man's stomach. The powders oper
ate upon a principle entirely different from all
other worm medicines. They not only de
atroy the worms, but remove the slime and Un
healthy matter froth the coating of the stomach
and bowels. In this slinie the woods breed,
or rather it breeds the worms, and by having
it removed tho ivories cease to breed, so that
when a person is cured of worms by these pow
ders they are not liable soon to have another
attack. The genuine may be had of 'l'. Heed

A Presbyterian clergyman in Ohio, in writing
of "Hunter's Medical Manual," gaps:—
"Thousands upon thousands ofour youth, by evil
example and the influence of the passions, hare
been led into the habit of self-pollution without
realizing the sin and consequence upon them
selves and their posterity. The eonstitution of
thousands, who nee raising families have bean
enfeebled, if not broken down, and they do not
know the cause or the cure. Any thing that
can be done so to enlighten and influence the
public mind ns to check, And ultimately to re
move this wide-spread source of human wretch-
edness, would confer the greatott blessing next
to the religion ofJesan Christ, on the present and
coming generation. Intemperance, (or the use
of intoxating drinks,) though it has slain thou
sands epcn thousands, is not a greater scourge to
the human race. Accept my thanks on behalf
of the afflicted, and, believe me, your co-worker
in the good work you are so actively engaged in."
