KafThe latest news from Europe, in another column, announces the passage of the Indian bill. This is the end of the great and world renowned East India Company. It has been in existence two centuries and a half. At first it held on'v three small trading posts. It gradually enhanced its importance, by one acquisition of territory after another. The English government had little control of its operations. It in time bccamc an empire, the most formidable in Asia. Its history is one of the most remarkable in the annals of nations. This company has performed great achievements and perpetrated great crimes. Its succcss sanctifies the former, and overshadows the latter. It has prepared an empire of vast wealth and resources for the mother country. She has at last eoucluded to kill tlic possessor, and enter upon the inheritance. Hereafter India is governed by Parliament, and the East India Company is buried with the past. The government has been, indeed, always English but almost independent of the Crown and Parliament.

A great deal of sarcasm has been veil ted on English ambition, in appropriating India to herself but, after all, it is not to bo regretted. Civilization will take the placc of barbarism, and India will be made to take part in the world's progress. The acquisitions have been acts of necessity.

NEW STORE.

Mr. DAVID 11. KNOX will, in the course of a few days, be in receipt of a large stock of hats and caps, boots and shoes, and roa-dy-inadc clothing. Ho will open iu the room formerly occupied by Davis & Garvin. The stock has been carefully selected by Mr. James F. Mick.

FINE LIQUORS.—Henry Ott, who recently returned from his visit to Europe, has jutst received at his drug store three casks of choicc wines and brandies, which he purchased in Germany. They arc the pure article and no mistake.

#6?" Wc notice that expeditions are being fitted out all over the country for the fabulous Frazcr River gold mines. It will bo secu by the telegraph that the rush from California is immense. It is not at all unlikely that a collision will take place between the emigrants and the British officials, who represent the Hudson Bay Company.

ARREST OF A PICKPOCKET. On last Saturday, information was received by one of cur officers, that a notorious pickpocket would be here on Monday with Dan Rice's circus. A detective was immediately put upon his track, who shadowed the scoundrel during the day and towards evening obtained all the evidence necessary to procure a warrant for his ar*cst, he having been seen to pick the pocket of Mr. Philip Moore, of this county, of a watch. lie was taken before Esquire Purscl for examination and held to bail in the sum of three hundred dollars. At eleven o'clock, no bail having been given by the prisoner, and there being some indications of an attempted rescue by some of the showmen, he was committed to the Tombs, where he remained until twelve o'clock, when he was bailed out by his counsel, G. J). Hurley, of this place, in whose hands were placed money and property sufficient to cover the bail-bond, bj- the prisoner's accomplices. Of course the thief will never appear for trial and the bail will be forfeited. The scoundrel traveled under the name of William Loadsey, and acted in the capacity of usher in llice's circus.

Indianapolis papers will confcr a favor by warning the citizens of their town and State against this rascal, who will be in that city next Monday and Tuesday.

A RUNAWAY.—On last Wednesday evening, about seven o'clock, quite an excitement was created in the vicinity of Washington street, by a horse attached to a light spring waggon dashing furiously down the avenue towards the crcck. The conveyance belonged to Mr. II. Bradcn, who, in company with Miss Helen Elston, were taking an evening drive, when without any known cause, the horse suddenly bccamc perfectly unmanageable. Mr. B., made the most strenuous effort to check the frantic animal, but all in vain the dash-board being kicked in, lie was precipitated betwccu the vehicle and the horses heels, and strange as it may scom, he escaped without any serious injury. The young lady, however, was not so fortunate. She was thrown violently out at the side, and with the exception of a severe wound upon the forehead, escaped without any serious injury. Wc think this animal would be a proper subject for Rarey, the celebrated horse tamer.

A SAFE BET.—A Republican in Warren county, (who refuses to support Wilson) made a bet of S-100 a few days sincc that Blake would carry the District by five hundred majority.

T&B" Stephen 11. Branch, the •publisher, and Daniel Adee, the printer of a scurrilous sheet called the Alligator, were arrested in New York, on Friday, and held to bail in 61,0(10 each, for an alleged libel on Mayor Tic maun.-—Cincinnati, Gazette.

This Ailee is the scoundrel who has been swindling the.western people by his advertisements of the "New York Press," a paper that never had an existence. According to his advertisement, every subscriber was to receive in jewelry or money, a prize ranging from fifty cents to a thousand dollars. He also advertised himself as "the retired physician," under the cognomen of "old Dr. Stephen II. Burns," who on the receipt of nine cents (postage stamps) would send to all persons afflicted with consumption a receipt whereby a ccrtain cure would be effected.

CHARITY.—The only thing wc can give away without losing itv

[Correspondence of the New York Times.]

TIIE REBELLION IN IJTDIA. BOJIBAT, June 4,1858.—The southwest monsoon is just setting in, and with it the usual accompaniment of rain-wind. A happy change it is, though, after the drilling we have received here for the last month. Think of the thermometer indicating 110 deg. in the tents of the troops encamped upon'the

Esplanade! Poor fellows, they

have had a hard lot, but not to be compared with that of their brothers up the country. Indeed, the season has been remark ably hot, and the sun has killed'three where the Sepoys have killed one. The Sepoys are not commanded by fools, and while the English troops are scouring the country, exposing themselves to all the horrors of a hot weather campaign, the enemy, in their jungle fastnesses, look quietly on and smile: for they know they have now an ally that fears neither British steel nor British bullets. In times past wc have been told that the rebels were conquered, but its long since wc heard that story. Wc read in the home papers that "the enemy arc disheartened and flying in all directions before the victorious columns of Sir Hugh l'osse, Sir Collin Campbell, and Sir Hope Grant." It is true they fly, but it is from one stronghold to another, and when wc arc beginning to congratulate ourselves that at last they are shut up, they appear in another quarter with doubled and trebled numbers, and doubled and trebled energy. Again, we learn from English and American pa pers that "Nena Sahib is wandering a fugitive and vagabond over the land." A curious "fugitive and vagabond" that, who wanders about with 70,000 trained men at his heels, and able to raise 100,000 more. I do not like to think that this horrid rebellion is not to be put down soon but there are things which stare us so plainly in the face that we cannot say they arc false.— True, Lueknow is retaken, Barrcilly is retaken, Shahjahanpore is relieved, and Cal pee is once more an English post but where arc the Sepoys? In every instance they have escaped, and, scattering over the country, engaged the English in a guerilla warfare, that is a thousand times more trying than a dozen hard fought battles would be. Let me give you one or two instances. A day or two sineo a small party of English engaged a detachment of Sepoys, and defeated them with a loss of twenty men and three guns but while the former did not lose a man from the enemy's bullets, over forty were struck dead by the sun.— In another action, nearly every man in one company was more or less affected by sunstroke—a large number being killed outright. And, may I ask, how is it possible for a white man to live in the sun when 115 deg. and 120 deg. is no uncommon mark in their tents

Still again: the mutinies arc not at an end. Do you think it is love for the English that has caused the Bombay native infantry to remain faithful? Far from it. Wc happened to have a man here at the head of affairs, and Lord Elphinstonc has shown himself equal to tlic emergency.— But, at the same time, should an-opportu-nity offer, you would see these so-called "faithful Sepoys" rioting iu all the horrid atrocities of a second Delhi and Cawpore. That the vast majority of the people S3*mpathi/.c with the rebels is seen from the fact that almost daily wo hoar of native chiefs joining the standard of revolt. Thi very day we hear of a rising near Kolapore of a native prince, who, with about 8,000 men, concluded to add his might to the general woe. lie was pursued by Mr. Manson, one of the company's civil servants, with 300 of the Southern Marthi horse. Sad to relate, Mr. Manson (than whom a nobler man scarcely ever lived) was defeated, about twenty of the cavalry slain, and lie himself cut into bits.

ST:ITK\V PROPIXLER STRIKING A WHALE. —Rev. B. Jenkins, writing from Shanghai, China, to the Southern Christian Advocate, of Charleston, S. C., states that- a remarkable occurrence took place when IT. M.'s screw steam gun-vessel Nimrod was proceeding, under steam, for the entrance of the river Min, on the 10th of April. When about four miles from Sharp .Peak, a violent concussion was experienced by all on board, as if the ship had struck the ground, but knowing from the position such could not be the case, the real cause was evidenced on looking astern, on their discovering a large whale, severed nearly in two, blowing convulsively, and bleeding so profusely as to redden the water all around. The whale had doubtless been struck with much violence by the screw propeller, and indeed the engineers were brought to a momentary stand-still by the shock.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—A shocking ac dent occurred at the farm of Mr. C. McCormiek, in Aboit Township, about noon on Wednesday of last week. Mr. McCormick was just starting a mowing machine on the prairie when Sampson Douglass, in reaching him a whip, inadvertently stepped in range of the cutting apparatus which, as the horses started, came in contact with his legs. The left leg was completely cut through at the ankle joint, severing the bones, and leaving the foot hanging by the skin the fleshy part of the right leg was cut through and the bones partly cut.— The sufferer lost a large quantity of blood, and was in danger of bleeding to death before assistance could be procured. Dr. Dailey, assisted b}- Dr. Smith, skillfully amputated the left log just below the knee, on Thursday. It is hoped the right leg may be saved.—Fort Wayne Sentinel.

rSF" On a recent occasion Prof. Morse observed that lie had no doubt of the ultimate success of the sub-marine telegraph, lie frankly avowed that he never entertained sanguine hopes of the success of the present attempt to lay the cable, but he confidently predicted that when the end desired was accomplished, as it certainly would be, the means used would be found to be exceedingly simple and the expense small compared to the immense benefits to be derived.

BSF* A person writing from San Francisco, relative to the gold discoveries on Frazcr llivcr, says: "Wc had a revival here, but Frazcr River knocked it cold. People care less apparently just now for salvation than gold. The Coroner of this city complains that the new diggings have put an end to the suicides. Several literary and political gentlemen of tins city have been infected and have gone."

COL. STEPTOE?S B4TIXE WITH THE INDIANS—LETTER FROM COLONEL STEPTOE.

A private letter from Col- Steptoe, dated at Fort Walla-Walla, 31st May, 1858, has been placed at our disposal, from which wc extract- and subjoin bis narrative of the circumstances attending' his. recent 'action with the Spokane and other Indians, "I. left this fort (Walla-WaUa) on the 13th, with the

command

mentioned above,

(125 men) to visit Colville, a white settlement near the British line, and about two hundred miles distant. The object of my visit was to talk with the.white people and Indians, and try to effect a more harmonious intercourse

between

strong rivers—tho Snake and the ^pokane —had to be crossed.. I succeeded in cros-. sing the first with great difficulty, and when near the other, found myself in the presence of more than a thousand ^Indians, all armed, painted and highly excited. They demanded whether we came to attack them. I answered that we

were

friends to all who

were friendly, and did not wish to fight if it could be avoided. They expressed themselves satisfied,

but

posted theinsencs on

the summits of three hills, around the bases of which our road wound. "Never suspecting treachery, I was on the point of entering the defile, when a mere accident excited my suspicion, and I turned aside. There is no doubt in my own mind now, that if we had gone on, not one would have lived to see the. morrow.— I halted and encamped, but the baffled savages glared upon us, hesitating to attack, and we remained thus in a half hostile attitude till near sunset. The merest trifle would have been sufficient to precipitate cither party upon the other. "The next morning I resumed the inarch, but had only gone two or three miles when the Indians attacked the rear guard, and immediately the fight became general.— We labored under the disadvantage of having to fight while moving on, and in the midst of a country of successive hills peculiarly favorable to the enemy. My force was well mounted, but composed chiefly of troops who had never before been under fire. About 12 o'clock the commander of one company fell, and, the Indians charging fiercely upon his men, they gave way and could not be rallied. Soon after, another company commander fell, and some of the bravest petty officers in the command were severely wounded. I determined, therefore, to take a position and halt. The fight continued without intermission until a short time before sunset, when the enemy posted themselves all around us to wait for.the night and for reinforcements. We knew that two or three hundred more would join them before morning our ammunition was nearly exhausted, our loss iu killed and wounded very considerable. It was evident that wc could not fight another day. "These considerations determined me to make a forced march and get possession of the canoes in which we had crossed Snake river before the enemy could do so. Painful as the step was, I saw there was no other alternative. Wc could not remain where wc were, aiul a slow march would be fully as disastrous for, if the enemy seized upon the canoes, our situation would be worse than ever. For these reasons I put the command in motion about 10 o'clock at night, anil did not stop until wc reached the river, nearly 90 miles off. "This war has been maturing for some time, but if I could have beaten the enemy at the start, all fnture difficulty might have been prevented as it is, I fear that many lives will be lost before a satisfactory adjustment can be arrived at. The savages appear to have been excited by rumors that the government intends to take pos-^cs-ion of their lands, and the act of the last Congress to lay out a military road from this place to the waters of the Cpper Missouri, fully satisfied them on the truth of the rumor. The party to survey the road was just assembling here, and the fight with me has no doubt saved it from massacre."

Goixa liouxn TIIK HORN.—The steamers Canada and America, lately purchased by Mr. N. P. Stewart, of Detroit, and taken through the St. Lawrence rapids, have been sold to New York parties, who intend sending them to the Pacific, to form a line between San Francisco and Vancouver's Island, tho route to the new Eldorado.— The upper works of the steamers will be token off until they arrive at San Francisco. It is quite an undertaking, but not a whit more hazardous than the rapids experiment.

The counties of Boone and Mont­

gomery, at the Convention on Thursday of last week, nominated Jno. Morgan, of Montgomery county, for District Prosecuting Attorney—Mr. Galvin, the present efficient Prosecutor, having declined a re-nomina-tion. Mr. Morgan is a good Democrat, and is said to be well qualified for the office.— Boone County Pioneer.

JOIIN V. BLAKE.

Our types made a mistake last WCCK in giving the christian name of our-Democrat-ic candidate for Congress. The name in full is Jonx WESTLEV BT.AKE, and John Westley Blalcc will be the next member of Congress from this district. He possesses more business capacity than twenty Jim. Wilsons, and he would do more business and be of more practical service during one session of Congress than Jim. Wilson would be were he elected for life.

The people of Carroll county know Judge Blake well, they know he is a high-mind-ed, honorable gentleman, and that he possesses talents of a high order. Judge Blake's majority iu Carroll county will coiint.—Delphi Times.

SAD CASK OF PINING TO DEATII. A few months ago a gentleman residing in the interior of the State returned from California, bringing with him a little prattling Indian girl—a sweet, interesting creature as ever proved a "well-spring of plouourc" in a

household.

CSF" The plan of a telegraphic connection between this Continent and the Eastern Hemisphere, by way of the Aleutian Isles or Bhering's Straits, is now discussed—communication with all the European lines to be effected at Moscow. By this Asiatic route, though the whole distance (to Moscow) will be 5.000 miles, no part will be under water at one stretch, for more than about two hundred miles—less than the length of the submarine cable already iu operation across the Baltic Sea.

It was rumored that

the mother of the child was an Indian woman and the father a white man. How that may be wc know not such, at least, was the supposition. The gentleman for some reason did not care to have the child remain in his family, and brought her to this city and placcd her in the Orphan Asylum, and promised to call often and see her. For a few days the life surrounding her seemed to furnish sufficient entertainment, but it was soon apparent that something was lacking to satisfy her mind entirely—a void which only could be filled by tho presence of some one whom she had loariioil to cull "papa." She became liytlcss and melancholy, and the sports of the children failed to please or interest her.— Visitors to the Asylum petted the little ["Pocahontas," as she was culled, but their attentions scarcely ever rallied her spirits.

Constantly upon her tongue was the name of "papa." She grew weary and tired, and gradually faded, like a flower of her own mountains in Autumn. There was no apparent disease, but a perceptible Masting away of the natural energies. The gentleman who left her at the Asylum had never called to see his little charge, and although she was nourished and eared for with all the tenderness possible, she slowly drooped, until a few days sincc, when she died —with the last fleetiug brcaili murmuring the name of "papa," as she has frequently done in her dreams.—Cincinnati Gazette.

SPIRITUALIST C.AMC-MKKTIM IN LAKE COUNTY.—The Spiritualists of Waukegan, Wisconsin, and the region round about, had a camp-mecting at Benton, in that county, 011 Sunday. There were some two thousand people in attendance. Addresses were made by a number of Spiritualists, among whom were Mrs. Stowe, a "trance-medi-um." Another camp-meeting is to be held at the same place Sunday after next.

The St. Louis Republican says, in

the course of a speech, delivered by Senator Green, in that city, on Monday night last, he said:

That the Lecompton question was no longer an issue. He and Mr. Douglas had differed on that question, but now he extended the right hand of fellowship to him, and he beheld Stephen A. Douglas fighting Black Republicanism gallantly in Illinois. Abraham Lincoln was the champion of the Abolitionists, and Douglas was bearing the banner of Democracy, and with him he sympathized.

BST"Sir Colin Campbell is "down" upon the Victoria Cross. lie writes to the Duke of Cambridge that since the institution of the cross, advantage has been taken by young staff officers to place themselves in prominent situations for the sake of attracting attention. To them, observes Sir Colin, life is of little value compared with the gain of public honor but they do injustice to the officers in command of the regiments, and arc useless to the soldiery, who arc unacquainted with them, and look to their regular leaders. This Roman rebuke is marked by the stern good sense of the veteran Highlander.

A NEW IDEA.—The Rochester Democrat learns that Steiner, the aeronaut, has got a new idea in his head, which he proposes to put in practice on the occasion of the State Fair at Syracuse, this fall. He intends to have built, a small house, say about ten feet square, and capable of containing with comfort four or five persons, which, with its occupants, is to be sitting beneath his large balloon "Star of the West," and taken up to the clouds. In order to give the balloon the necessary power, it is to be greatly enlarged from its present dimensions, and Mr. Steiner thinks that the house may be constructed of material light enough to make the plan perfectly feasible, and easy to put in execution.

FRUIT.—The fruit erop in Mississippi was never before so prolific. Watermelons, peachcs, apples, and every other kind of fruit is abundant all through the'State.

No erent in the liistofy of Clinton County has caused such rejoicing among her people as the nomination of Judge %lake for th'e Congressional race, by the Convention of the 15th, held at Lebanon and we can say without exageration that thi^satisfaction is shared and expressed by the masses, of both parties. Judge Blake has discharged with integrity and distinguished ability every public trust heretofore confided to him. Whether as Prosecuting Attorney, a Judge upon the Bench, or a Representative in the State Legislature, he has been industrious, energetic and faithful officer—-paying strict attention to dut in all his career as an agent of the peopli —:and it is the remembrance of'tfieSi things, together with the knowledge'of^ii high moral character and unceasing iricras try and enterprise as a citizen and business man, that now so warmly commends him to: their confidence and support, and makes his nomination so agreeable.— They will be proud to aid in electing so distinguished and worthy a citizen of their county to the honorable' place which he now seeks, knowing that whatever is to his advantage is equally to their own, and whatever he may hereafter be able to-ac-complish for the good of his constituents will be done in the remembrance of those kind and generous acts which have made him successful in all the past of his public life.—Frankfort Crescent

AN EXQUISITE STORY BY LAMARTINE.— In the tribe of Neggdehi there was ahorse whose fame was spread far and near, and a Bedouin of another tribe, by name Dahcr, desired extremely to possess it. Having offered in vain his camels and his. whole wealth, he hit at length upon the following device by which he hoped to gain the object of his desire. He resolved to stain his face with the juice of an herb, to clothe himself in rags, to tic his legs and neck together, so as to appear like a lame beggar. Thus equipped he went to wait for Nabcr, the owner of the horse, who he knew was to pass that way. When he saw Nabcr approach on his beautiful steed, he cried out in a weak voice, "I am a poor stranger for three days I have been unable to move from this spot to seek for food. I am dying, help me, and heaven will reward you." The Bcdouiu kindly offered to take him up on his horse and carry him home, but the rogue replied, "I cannot rise, I have no strength left."

Naber, touched with pity, dismounted, led his horse to the spot, and with great difficulty, set the seeming beggar on his back. But 110 sooner did Dahcr feel himself in the saddle than lie set spurs to the horse and galloped off, calling out as he did so, "It is 1, Dahcr. I have got the horse, and am off with it." Naher culled after him to stop and listen. Ccrtain of not being pursued, lie turned and halted at a short distance from Naber, who was armed with a spear. "You have taken my horse," said the latter. "Sineo heaven has willed it, 1 wish you joy of it but I do conjure you never to tell any one how you obtained it." "And why not?" said Daher. "Because," said the noble Arab, "another man might be really ill, and men would fear to help him. You would-be the cause of many refusing to pcrfurin an act uf charity for fear of being duped as 1 have been." Struck with shame at these words, .Daher was silent for a moment-, then springing from the horse, returned it to its owner, embracing him to his tent, where they spent a few days together, and bccamc fast friends for life.

IJ ETITIIJUI IV I: .1 U.STICK. In 1#6G the Republicans of Indiana coolly and deliberately planned and executed a great crime against the State, the popular will, and the freedom and puritv of the elective franchise. This has been established against them by legal proof in the judicial tribunals of the State. They polluted the ballot box they corrupted voters with mono}-, they shipped those they had corrupted, as they would cattle, from count)- to county, for the purpose of carrying the Legislature and electing Republican United States Senators, in defiance of the popular will. To this charge they have to submit. From it they cannot escape. It is constantly before them in the light of their own consciousness. It was visible to the public observation, and, as wc have said, it has been judicially established.— What has resulted?

It is in the ways of Provideuec that villainy shall not prosper for long. lie smites the perpetrators of it in the end with the bosom of destruction. He brings upon their hopes and prospects blight and mildew. lie plants within them the worm and canker, to consume their vitality and hasten their decay. Thus is He now visiting the corrupt and decaying Republican party. He brought their schemes to naught. He burned tlieni to ashes.— Bright and Fitch, Democrats were elected to the Senate. They run to and fro, not knowing what manner of persons they arc of—seeking here the "Filadclfy" platform there Douglas and popular sovereignty, aud goiug generally iu a mass politically to perdition.—State Sentinel.

86?" The generous conduct of Colonel Manson, at the Congressional Convention, in withdrawing his own name as a candidate, and moving the nomination of Judge Blake by acclamation, will not soon be forgotten by the Democracy of the Eighth District. The Colonel had many warm friends, who were anxious to secure his nomination but, believing that Judge Blake was justly entitled to the "track," he cheerfully yielded it to him. The Democrat who thus freely yields his own interests to his competitor deserves the grateful remembrance of every good Democrat.—Boone County Pioneer.

WELL PUT.—The Hock. Islander and Argus (Illinois) ha3 the following pithy paragraph.

There is one question which a Democrat should always ask himself beforo leaving his party: "Am I about to enter abetter political organization?" It is too true that the Democratic party, in some of its local movements, has been guilty of indiscretions. But are not our opponents eternally and every where in the wrong? It is a world-wide remark tbat the "Republican" party during its short and irregular reign in the Northern States, has done more to sap the foundations of religion, corrupt the moral, eradicate popnlnr respect for the laws, and overturn the social fabric of the nation, than all the other parties that have existed since 1789

the strfeet at the time jjf Feartf.— My first impression was tbat I was seized with a sudden vertigo, and upon stretching out my hand to my companion for support, I found him making the same .motion.— The fajlinaof the people upon their knees, their audible prayers,ithc violent-slamming of the doors and windows of the neighboring houses, soon admonished us that it was a temblar of unusual violence. We were arrested immediately under the tall spire of the Convent of the Profess. Looking up and finding it swaying to and fro like the inverted pendulum of a clock, we moved away from its dangerous proximity and paused in the middle of the street. The motion was so great that it was not easy to keep one's feet, although bracing apart and planting a cane to aid them. The motion produced upon the houses has precisely the effect of a sea-swell, the spongy soil upon which the city is built, yielding to the terrific phenomenon in a scries of long undulating waves. It lasted a minute and a half, though not with the greatest violence all the time, for, if it had, not one of the massive walls of which this city is built, would have now been standing. As it was, there is hardly a house or a church that has not been more or less damaged some have fallen, killing persons and ani* nials, while hundreds are only kept up by the props which have been applied to them. My own house has a crack in one of the inner walls from the roof to the ground, while a seam is opened the whole length of the Azokea.

A HARD PLACE.

Columbus, Ky., must be a hard place.— An old farmer who had been somewhat unfortunate in some of his dealings in that interesting embroyo village, expressed his opinion of it as follows "If the angel Gabriel happens to light at Columbus, there'll be no resurrection, for they'll swindle him out of his trumpet before lie can make a siugle toot I"

AFFECTINli INCIDENT.

Wc are indebted to Mr recently returned from a iclialing voyage, for the following touching narrative:

On the home voyage of one of our New York and Liverpool packets, she being crowded with emigrants, that awful scourge, the ship fever, broke out. Tho carpenter of tho vessel, one of nature's noblemen, and having on board his little son, a lad of some twelve summers, was one of the first victims. His shipmates sadly enclosed his body in his hammock, and having read over him the burial service, and attached to his feet a grindstone, for the purpose of sinking it, committed it to the embrace of old ocean. The poor boy, overcome with grief at the loss of his natural protector, sprang overboard, and before he could bo rcscucd, was beyond the reach of human aid.

On the day following the burial, a largo shark was noticed in the wake of the ship, and as it was almost calm, the sailors asked permission to catch it, which was readily granted by the captain. Having procured a hook and attached a chain and line, and baited it with pork, they cast it overboard, and soon had tho exciting pleasure of hooking the niontcr, and with the aid of the windlass, they hauled the writhing mass 011 board. As it lay 011 the deck iu its death struggles, the sailors heard a singular rumbling noise, that seemed to procecd from within the dying captive. Taking a ship-axe, they soon cut their way into the now dead fish, and to their great surpriso, found that it had swallowed the carpenter, grindstone, and boy, and that the former who had swooned, had rigged up the grindstone, and with the assistance of the boy to turn it, was just grinding his jackknife to cut his way out.

For

the 1'eview.

C'RAWFORDSVILLE, July 28th, 1858. MR. EDITOR:—The undersigned, judging from your usual disposition to see fair play, trust that your sense of honor and propriety will second their request for the immediate publication of this article as well as of a letter of vindication from tho injured party, should one be presented.

Having noticed with pain and regret, that a disposition has recently existed in this community to connect the name of a fellow citizen, R. D. Pease, M. D. with covert charges, and insinuations of tho vilest character, we the undersigned wish, for the benefit of all concerned, to state that after making dilligent enquiry, wc have not been able to find these reports in any instance sustained by even tho shadow of proof.

We also take pleasure in stating that, having been somewhat acquainted with Dr. Pease we have thus far found him to be in every respect a gentleman.

Several of us have not only long known him as a valued speaker in that division of society of Friends or Quakers, called "progressive," but also as a teacher, whoso logical abilities and scientific accomplishinents are known and respected in other States in the union as well as in this, and that he has been for the last ten years an unimpeachable member of the I. O. O. F.

In view of the foregoing facts we protest against the effort to make judgement and condemnation precede proof of unworthiness. ..

Let us have fair play gentlemen censors, no dodging if you please behind.-"I heard," "they say," and such like subterfuges, bywhich the unscrupulous slanderer endorses to cscape the strong arm of the law. DAVID KESTEU, FIBHER DOHERTY, JOHN SPEED, A. W. ARMSTRONG, M. D. HIRAM POWELL, M. D. MANSON.
