Terrible Affair. The Corydon (la.) 'Argus of the :15th, gives us the details of a terrible affair that occurred in Harrison county1, on Thursday 'night last. On that day, an Irishman named John Ilanagan, moved into a house near Elizabeth, in Posey township, and invited one ol his neighbors to a spree or house-icarming. He was seen aboui eight o'clock, in liquor, and it is supposed that a portion of the family consisting of John Hanagan, his wife and six children, Mrs. O'Donnel. Patrick Slave, one adult per-

A Democratic Convention. Judge Ja. Lockhart Nominated. The unterrified Democracy of this district met in olemn conclave last Thursday at Troy, Ind. or nt least their chosen delegates did tc
nominate 11 candidate for Congress. The candidates present were Messrs. Lockhart, Edmonson, AlbcrUon and Miller Mr. Graham absent Mr. Gaines H. Roberts', of Warrick, was elected President, and three editor appointed Secretaries. A rule was adopted dropping the candidates receiving the lowest number of votes, till but two should be left in the fitlJ. Mr. Albertson was the first, Graham the secondhand Miller the third, in this manner disposed of leaving
Lockhart and Edmonson the surviving candidates. At the final balloting, Lockhurt obtained seven counties and Edmonson three, leaving one county, Crawford, not being represented. The counties voting for Lockhart, were Posey, Gibson, Pike, Vandbcrburgh, Perry, Spencer an Harrison. For Emerson Dubois, Warrick and Orange. Much excitement prevailed, and sixteen balloiings were taken before the candidate was chocn. ' Judge Lockhart is a resident of this city, and we believe his nomination .will give as general satisfaction in Vanderburgh county as the nomination of any other Democrat who was a candidate. Although Vau ler- .... ..... o burgh has helped make a good ninny Con
gressmen, , Judge L. if elected will bo the
first this county etvr claimed aa one of its
citizens. We suppose the Judge will repre
sent the District as good as any uncertain Democrat would but we consider almost
every Democrat uncertain where the true in
terests of the West arc concerned. At least,
those occupying seats in Congress, with but
few( exceptions, have voted against those
measures best calculated to advance the Westi-7' Were this district represented by a Wbig,.jve might have full confidence that at least one prominent measure in which the
"Weal prubably feels her interests as strongly enlisted as in any other, would find a warm
supporter io our Representative. ' We allude
to appropriations for the improvement of
Rivers and Harbors. How Judge Lockhart stands in regard to this matter, : we do hot know but one thing we do know is, that his .1'" !-i iL' '''"'. .. ' i I.
uisirici is largely in lavor oi me principi?,nnu he dare not if the opportunity be allowed him
vote against such a Iliver and Harbor bill as
wm supported by the majority in last Con
Congress, If he hope fur re-election. Mr,
Albertson, .after pledging himself for the
principle, voted against that bill, and as a
consequence , received the vote of otdy one
county in this convention. We always have strong faith in the proper and patriotic action
ol aDeraoorat, when his personal interest
makes this action his policy. Therefore, mid for do-other reason, we think the Judc will prpye ail right in this particular. Rut still as he may differ with us in opinion of what is his own interest, we shall be by no means sure that if elected, he will support the utimistäkeably true policy of the West. Mr. Albertson made a slight mistake in what he considered hts own interest, and why may not JuUge Jockiiart? : . Well, one horse is on the track, blanketed
by "a' Convention, under the care of smart
jockies,- and snorting with ambition. Is he

Argus says: t uThe spectacle presented to the persons who first reached the scene of the disaster was horrible and distressing in the extreme. Io sound was heard save the hissing of the fire and crash ol falling timbers, every member of the family having already expired; but through the burning chinks of the house, the bystanders could discern the still unconsumed bodies of the occupants. There lay the m'.ther with the body uf her dead infant still clapped to her bosom, to which the little suf
ferer had clung in the last agoniis ol this horrible death, the bright flames shooting even from the eye-sockets of the unfortunate mother. A sad, sad house-warming it proved to be, indeed. The charred remains, ot eleven persons have been found amid the ruins, whilst it is known that one clitd is lost ' . . .
whose remains have not Leen discovered."
wUat cuu be tlie matter' I'll call upon the Doctor. - , A ealthy manufacturer from the west of Scotland, while at Edinburgh on business, called upjii Dr. Gregory for Iiis advice. He was a man of middle statue, rather Opulent,
j with a rosy complexion, and w e exterior 1 altogether 6poke the comfortable JCer. Af
ter seating himself, the following dialogue ensued : - Gentleman Well, -Dr. Gregory, I ha
come up to Edinbro in the way o' business, and I just thought I would take your advice about my health.' ' ' .' ' ' ' - Doctor -Your health, sir? WhatV the matter with you? ' " - r ' ' Gent.

We lound them what we had anticipated

The excellence of these paintings da not require study for appreciation, although every moment added to the time spent with them, adds fresh beauties.

Importast to the Moustaciied Gentry. The N. Y. Tribune speaks of a new and most important invention, in the manufacture of which India-rubber is the principal article employed. It is especially for the use of gentlemen with long moustaches, and is remarkably simple. It is merely a strap with a spring at each end. The wearer attaches a spring to each moustache, passes the strap behind his head, and eats Iiis soup without the trouble of parting his moustaches to obtain entrance to his mOD'.h, This is an age of great invention.
Mobe Charlatanism All Explained at
Last. Mr. A. J. l) avis, in his work entitled
The "Philosophy of Spiritual Intercourse,''
thus lays open the mystery which has here
tofore enveloped some of the '-spirits" iti
Rochester aud elsewhere:
I now proceed to explain how spirts can
move a table or other inorganic subetaures:
A spirit, without possessing any ol the gross
ness of the earthly form, is yet organized in
its principles und functions precisely as we
ure ui this Me: aud when it, a epii i', desires
to move a table, (by way of mauiles'iiig Us nearncfcs,)it concentrates its own magnetic
and powerful tlcincuUso m to tak; hold, as : r i... .. -. ..: . i
ii were ui mo n.u;uewsui ui tue uwuospiicrr. In like manner, tins atmospherical magnetism
takes hold of the electricity ol the air, and the
latier is then concentrated upon the arti.de
which it is theepiriv's deugn to move. Atmos
pherical magnetism and electricity are, there-
tore, the iierces and muscles which spirits employ when manifesting their presence to tho material senses of believing us well as skeptical individuils. Hence, when 'Tappings" are heard, and when it is certain that no mischievous or designing person is pro du:mg them by way of imitation, then it ij perfectly reasonable to conclude, us has been hitherto explained, that a friendly spirit from the spirit-land is producing electrical, rolling concussions upon some material substance.
through the intermediate agencies of terres
trial magnet ism and electricity. The viodus operandi of these phenomena I design not now to detail; htcauo at present it is deemed sufficient for mankind to know that it is both naturally nad philosophically possible for spirits to approach and influence heavy and gross bodies of matter." After such a lucid exposition, no one can possibly be at a loss to account for these manifestatiDns provided they uudsrstaud it
tains a letter from E. Uiddle, of Doston, the
commissioner to the great iud us trial exhibi
tion at London.
