DIED OF WHISKY.

It again bocomes our painful duty to re* cord the death of another victim of intemperance.

In the village of Alamo, on Friday evening last, an old German whose name we did not learn, expired from the effects of poison, administered to him in the form of whisky. by a certain liquor seller of Alamo, whom we will not name at the present time hoping that after committing this horid deed, will abandon his nefarious business, and repent in sack-cloth and ashes.

But if lie atill persists in his unholy business. after preparing many to perform the most horrid tragedy, and lastly, after taking the life of an industrious mechanic, and sending him to the world of woe, wc will give his name in full. We will place him before the public in his true light we will give his name a place among the desperadoes and villains who havo gone beforr him, and make his name the hiss and byword of every good citizen. We warn him to desist from eo damning a business.

Think of it, kind reader, another poor mortal gone to the-spirit world, without one ray of hope, but with the awful sentence resting upon his wretched soul '*No drunkard 6haU inherit the kingdom of heaven." What must be the feelings of that man, (if he has any.) who sold him the deadly poison, that ended his miserable existence, and thrust him into the world of darkness, to dwell with the Devil and hit angels forever. If he be capable of feeling, he must already suffer all the pangs, all the remorae, all the bitter tortures that an outraged conscience can inflict. We leave the liquor seller, who sold the poisonous draught, to settle the matter with his conscience and his God.

On Saturday evening, the lifeless body of the murdered man was deposited in its list resting place, by those who were h'§ associates his lifetime. It is said, while they were burying bim, beneath the frozen clods of the valley, the fumes of whiakey around hi* grave, were very disgusting.

What a spectacle! "The dead burying the dead." It is said, that after the old man had died, a bottle containing a portion of the aame whisky which had put an end to his life, was taken from under his pillow, and is now in the hands of physicians, which will be duly analyzed by some o: otrrmost experienced chemists, who will render a verdict, poison, or no poison With painful anxiety we await the result of the examination.

Thus has passed away another of oin citizens, passed intcPthe gloom of eternity, with no relative near to drop a tear over his grave. No father, no mother, no brother or skter, no son or daughter, no relation on earth lingered near to bid him farewell. O what a ternbla death and burial that was! What a dreadful warning to those following fast in his foot-steps Blay they be speedily arrested from their awful destiny.

When shall we record another such a death?

The Sugar Question.

W® notice that General Houston has introduced into the Senate, a resolution for a suspension of the tariff on Sugar, for the next two years. We have no doubt that a bill of this kind, if passed, would meet the approbation of all classes of our citizens, save the sugar planters of the South, who will no doubt raise a tremendous howl in opposition to it, and perhaps threaten to dissolve the Union if. such a bill become* a law. The duty as it now is. operates as a tax upon every conMimer of the article, and amounts to an enormous sum, when W.e consider the vast quantity of Sugar consumed- by the American people.

The best article of sugar, if the duty was taken of it. would be about 9 cents per ft, when according to the high and oppressive tariff placed upon it now we have to pay«from 12 to 15 cents. But

this bill should not pass,

while

to come d-own in a short time. If sugar can be manufactured in the North to supply the home demand, we will take a different view of the subjeet, and advocate a protective doty on foreign sugar. We were always a protective tariff man, and will ever be

Wo would say to the farmers of Montgomery County, make immediate application for some of the seed, and give it a fair trial next summer. In the mean timt, you who have sugar orchards can manufacture sugar enough for your own use cheaper than yon can buy it at the present rates. Go to work then, ami prepare your sngar orchards foi the coming season. Make yonr own sugar raise your own wool manufacture your own clothing, and sell enough chickens to take the Montgomery Journal, and all will be well with you. Try it and see.-

The playmate has boen denominated by an ^|inent writer, as ..the best youths' magazine published" The publishers mean to keep it so. Its embelisbments are rate, and the reading matter almost wholy original.

An entire number might be filled with the commendatory notices of the press The Family Gazette says:—..^Vo parent who carts a button for his children's ice/fare, can spend a dollar more profitably than in subscribing for the Playmate."

But we prefer to let the Magvzinc tell its own storey. Those parents who bare any choice about what their children read, should subscribe for it. If it does not sustain itself, after a trial, no recommendation of others would be of any benefit.

Teacher at Linden, correspond with the various teachers and friends of Education throughout the county, and ensure the attendance ol every teacher in the county at our next session, which meets in Crawfordsville, on Friday evening, Jan. 17th.— We have the correspondences of several teachers before us, which are too lengthy for insertion in this number of the Journal. By these communioations we are gratified to learn that many of the teachers'in this County are waking up to the importance of County Associations. Through Mr. Heckatliorn, of Scott Township, we are informed that his part of the county will be largely represented in our next meeting. Mr. H. says heartily endorses the object of the Association, and it would give him much pleasure, could he say or do anything that wonld contribute to its prosperity, Mr. H. assures us that he will be on hand.— Many other teachers in the County have given us the same rssurance.

Montgomery County Teachers Association. MR. EDITOR:— Allow me through the columns of the Journal to appoal to the teachers ot our Ceunty in behalf of this association. It has been organized for some years, and yet has had, at times, only a nominal existence. Sometimes, it is trne, it would seem be regarded with favor by the people and teachers of the county, an bid fair to prosper and go on increasing in strength and usefulness. And again it would be reduced so low as to seem only to wink at existence. Teachers of Montgomery County, shall "this state of affairs continue.— Have we not love enough in our heaitsfor the noble calling which wo follow to sustain muh an institutin in our County.— Our sister Counties are forming such organizations for their mutual improvements and shall we bo content to remain in the ri»ar of them, or have wo arrived at such a state of perfection that wo can gain nothing bv meeting and conversing with each other? No 1 1 know that none of us feel thus. Then let us awaken to our duties, and the proper appreciation of the privileges we enjoy. Why should there be but one banner County in the State? Cannot Montgomery march side by side with Tippecanoe and press so closely after Wayne as to at least go foward under the shade of her banner. Yes sho can and let us show to the world that we intend she shall do so. On Saturday January 17th the association meets again in Crawfordsville, and let no tjacher who has any possible method o: locomotiou fail to be present on that occasion to aid in pressing on this glorious work.

The following extract from a private tor, dated at Monmouth Warren County Illinois, December 12, we find in the Rochester American: v,

A bloody-tragedy was performed at thfe Baldwin house in this city, this afternoon. I was conversing With a gentleman in Dr, Thayer,s drug store' about two o'clock when the terible cry of murder was heard, and we all started out to discover the cause. We were soon directed by the throng ol people to the above named hotel, distant only a few yards, and there, weltering in their blood lay the' victims of tho most sanguinary single-handed coflict it has ben my lot to witness. It is impossiable to discribe the hor»oi* depicted on the .visage* of that throng of spectators called at a moment warning. The circumstances as follows.

Mr. Fleming an elderly..gcntleman and •two sons, about 25 to 28 years of age. had callcd on a Mr. Crosier at his rooms at (he

Baldwin House, armed each with loaded pistol, to coerce the later gentleman into a concession and retraction of a calumny affecting their daughter and sister, with which they charged Mr. C. Mr. C., after some pretty warm language had passed between the parties, agreed to and did sign a refraction in the presence of a friend whomethe Messrs. Fleming had bro't with them. lmmediatly after delivering the paper into the possession of their friend, the Messrs. l«\, or one of the brothers, says to Mr. C. "1 am going to cowhide you and one of tho boys holding a cocked pistol to his head, directed the other to inflict the threatened punishment, which he immediately commenced. He had struck three or four blows, when C. pulled a dirk knife from his side pocket and passing at the same time his arm around the nock of the one who plied the lash, stabbed him in the left breast, and, as quick as thought withdrew the knife and struck the one who held the pistol a backhanded blow, which reached as did the first to the heart ot his victim.

Both brothers received their death wounds in less than two teconds, and were both bloody corpses in three minutes after they were struck. The old pran had gone out into the hall and locked the door, and stood upon the outside with a pistol to keep out assistance. The affair has created an immense excitement here I assure you. The young man Crosier, is under arrest, having surrendered himself into custody, and is to undergo an examination to-mor-row.

The sympathies of the people are mostly with Crosier. He acts and lookh the picture of despair. He is a young man, some 27 or 30 yeajs old, and unmarried, lie is said to have been engaged to the la dv in question, who is ai present out of die Htfite. The othur parlies were respectable farmers, and two of theui 1 understand members of the church in good funding.

Thero were bei wyen two und three hundred students uttciiding ihe lectures, some of whom will probably leave or attach themselves to tha new school, but a majority of them will rertiain to the conclusion ol the session, as the lectures will be resumed in a day or two.

Inteligence reached here to-dav, that a family nfiined Steth, numbering eight persons, were poisoned in Hardin county, Ky., yesterday by a negro cook. Six of the unfortunate family have died, and two others are not expected to recover.

An Awful Story—Lorenzo B. Shep&rd Buried Alive. The New York correspoddent of the Philadelphia Inquirer writes:

It will be remembered that the late Corporation Attorney' Lorenzo B. Shepard, Esq., was some three months ago found dead in his room, after retireing he night previous in good health. The physician* reported the cause of his death to be con-ge-tion of the heart, ami the coroners jury returned a verdict in accordance therewith. The body .of Mr. Shepard was placed in a receiving vault, pre pi ratory to its final interment in the family burial ground.

A few days ago Mrs. Shepard ordered the remains'of her deceased husband to be thken from the vault, but those employed for the purpose were horror struck on finding the body removsd several feet from the coffin, the#hroud torn in shieds, and covered with blood, giving the impression that Mr. Shepard had'only been lying in a trance, and had recovered after being placed in the vault. This seems almost too horrible for belief, and I understand that a relation of Mr. Shepard denies the truth of the report, and asserts that such could not bee the case, from the fact that the body was packed iu ice for over two days previous to its being placed in the vault,— On the other hand, there are those who contend that Mr. Shepard was not dead at ihe time of placing his body into the vault, and that certain facts are in pose«sion of tho family which go to show the truth of their assertions.

[from the Missouri Demoorat of Monday.]Xufdrt In St. Louis. About half-past 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, a traveler stopping at the Virginia Hotel pametl E. H.

We were sitting here this pleasant day, the murmur of many voices blended around us, and ihu rustle oi many leaves in the air above us, and Burnet's Creek cieepiny around the bluff, leaving yet, as he din then—in 1811, this great red altar ot sacrifice.

How few of all these laughing girls thai, lend the scene of gayety of a festival today, think that here upon this spot, went up amid the leafless onks on that gray November morning, sixty-two pmrsons whose passing no tolling bell could mark that in the low-lands yonder six hundred Indians crept—Shawnee, Kickapoo, Potowatiomie and Win.iebago—there where like -now drills, glitter the white tents ol peace.

A song goes up from the little group beneaib that scarred ami ancient oak, hard by a «lead and broken shait of what was once another column in this grand ediiice of God. \Ve hardly ih'tnk they knw it is a grave whereon they stand—that theie poor Davie*. Kentucky's gallant son, now sleeps a soldier's and a hero's sleep—thar rudidy sculptured on tho trunk, a "D." still marks the spot.

Three children are at -"V around that rock beside the Railroad, removed, like some old cherished memory, to let to-day go by. There are

no

stains upon it noxtf

and vet we think that childish carol would subside, if they only knew upon that cold gray pillow his dying head reposed.

The throng reclining on that mound, with an old furrow dimly drawn beside, forget how many hearts have mouldered there below, in rudest sculpture.

Where that flag is drooping, the noble Randolph fell where that flag is waving, the columns of infantry lav on their arms over there two companies of mounted riflemen were arrayed away there in the real,.two troops'of dragoons were drawn up here on the point of the platen, and there all along the verge of the slope, the sentinels were posted: and sprinkled arni.l the gloom the watch-fires dimly burned and so thiough the long November night, vigilant, they waited the cold morning light, that so many of that band, nine hundred strong, should never see again.

On the 7th of November the Prophet had promised to meet Governor Harrison where his

troops now

lay on their arms in

a hollow square. At a quarter before loi,r on the fatal morning, General Harrison was on the alert and tho men would have Oe.'n ordered in a moment, and the oideriy drummer had been roused for the re\eibe the moon had gone behind a cloud General Wells and Colonels Owen arid Davie.-v were already with their leader, when the sharp report of a sentry's piece rang tliio' the shadows he had discovered an ludian coming toward him in the grass. Ih an instant the warwhoop rent the air and tlie rattle of the leaden rain commenced upon the left of the American forces. The sentries fled into the camp, in the-wildest confusion, without exchanging a shot, and a tempest of Indian yells burst along the line. But bravely rallied those gallant men. Upon (.'apt.

Crawfordsville Markets!

JOURNAL OFFICE, Jan. 8, 1857.

Our market report is rather meagre thia week. 9'nce the closing of the bog market a dullness in all the leading articles of produce has been noticeable. During the past week some excitement hag existed in regard to rumors purporting to affect the atandicg of the following Banks, Erie City Erie Pa., Bank of Newcastle Pa., Warren Co., Bank Pa., Hank of Hallowell Maine, Exchange Blink, Bangor, Maine Hartford Bank, Conn., Hartford Co., Bank anl Khoie Island Ct-ntral.

From all tbe information we have been able to get in relation tlie above, we would advise the Bill Holders not to sulij^-c: tbcrasetves to too great a sacrifice—in their ha.-te to rid of the bills on said Banks. We can see no immediate crash among the Banks just n.»w. But in order to be on the safe side, our advice is to those who own money and have it in their possession—to go immediately without deiny and pay it over—and then in case the Banks break, they can have no regrets and those fortunate individuals who have money and no debts—lend ty their less forcun.iW neighbors who have debts and no money.
