The owner seeing ihis, and (caring that he would be compelled to part with his dog without any remuneration vihatever, immediately returned to the house of said Wells, and concluded to part with the dog. Mr. W. seemed lo take a particular fancy to the animal, and without hesitating, paid for tho dog, and permitted him to run at liberty through the house. A few days afterwards the dog showed symptoms of hydrophobia, and while in a fit bit one of the children. In a law days the child began lo tliow symptoms of the disease by biting its own arms in a horrible manner, lenving lhe bone almost destitute of flesh, and Jied in a short time.

Ward is a member ol one of the wealthiest and most aristocratic families in Ky., feed all the ablest lawyers, obtained a change of venue, procured tho nresenco of the Secretiry of the Treasury and other eminent Ker.tuckians to testify to his amiability, had the testimony of his father and mother besides, and the Court even allowod his abetting brother, who was also under indictment asnn accessory of the murdsr. to givo evidence "m the case.

TALL CDRST The New York Courier and Enquirer tells the following story. It is decidedly numerous and may be true; We grow 'tall corn' in America. The world is beginning to fiud it out. Every year brings the fact more home to th perceptive and digestiv faculties of all humanity. Like til great truths it did rot gain credit at once. True every body j sees it here with his own eyes, bat not so on the other side of the water. Ths j first accounts of the productiveness of our Western prairies, were read by Buckinghamshire farmers with about as much respect as the fish Stories of the Sailor enjoy very 'distinguished consideration' as a curiosity.

Turning to Mr. Bates, tha American partner in the house of Baring Brothers, his Lordship went on to say, "Why Bates, some of the cobs have ticclve or fourteen rows of grain on them.' 'Yes, my Lord, I have seen from Uctnty to twenty four rows on a cob.' 'That's a renk yankee-ism," was the pleasant retort of the Premier, and the whole company shouted in approval. Th? burst of incredulous merriment over, Mr. Bates bought his peace by a wa&er of a dinner for the company all round, that he could produce such an ear.' Done,' exclaimed Lord John, and the bet was clinched. The dinner passed off, Mr. Bates returned home but not entirely at ease. He had done a strange thing; for the first time in hia life he had made an engagement he was not absolutely certain of his ability to fulfill. He had misgivings that he had rashly pledged the honor of his country. . It had b en long ttinc, he had looked upon an American crib; end hoperer paliently he winnowed the rorn-neopU of hia memory, he found that the cobs of his eaily days had gone glimmering, through the lapse of time, among the thing? that vrr, and were now so far off that he could'nt count the row. He was as Plautus would say redactus ad invitas in Yankee parlance, 'hard up. But fortune fa

vors the biavo. It happened that a friend of ours dropped in the next day at the rooming house of the Barings; Mr. B:tfS, with brightening face, hailed him and made known his difficulty. You are safe,' was the r?sponse; if I live to gel home you slnll hava even a bissr ear thin you hive promised. Our friend G. soon returnej, and immediately went to Messrs. Rogers & Reynolds, of Lafayette, lud., telling thslory. and begging them for the honor of the country, to come to the rescue, and turn the tables on Lord John, showing him what Yankees could do. In the Ju ly following Mr. G. received by express from Lafsyette. e: nicely arranged box containing six ears of horse-tooth corn, two of which had twenty-nine rons.two thirty one, and two thirtt-two. The box wns forthwith addressed lo J. Bates, Esq.. care of Messrs. Baring. Bra. & Co , ship, by Blaclt Ball Line, care of the Liverpool liouse.' It reachd its destination, and Lord John Kussel, first Lord cf the Treasury, third son of the Duke of Bedford by the second daughter of Ocorge Viscount Torinton, and lineal descendant to Lord William Russell the Martyr to liberty, 'acknowledged lh$ corn.' The dinner was won. Joshua Bates did not perpetrate n 'Yankaeism,'

I wai lilting dozing in my chair, when a trsrrtenJcus knocking Was heard at my door, The servant opened it, when a m3n rushed trt trt the wildest disorder. For God'; cake, doctor,' eaid he, come with me! it's a case of life or death. A young giil has stabbed herself; the is bleeding lo death. One thousand dollars if you save her! Coma, eh, do not delay! and he rushed towards me as if to drag ms along. I hurried away with him, snatching my instruments from the table as I passed it. I think I never saw before 6uch coavulsive gtief as this man's face expressed. He was a handsome man, with one of those faces the ladies so much admire jet black hair clustering in waviug curls over a white forehead. The lower part of his otherwise feminine features was relieved by a deep, jet black beard. I a&ked him for the particulars of the case. Doctor.' eaid he, 'make haste. I shall go mad. Why, I would give every drop of blood in this body to save one drop of heis. Oh. God!' said he, 'preserve my reason. She stabbed herself before I could prevent her. Make haste, doctor, oh my God! my God!' We ;achd the fcous. On a satin couch, in a spbndid room the rich Turkey carpet, covered with her blood -lay a young girl. I think I never saw such a beautiful creature. Even with palid countenauce and bloodless lips, she was more of heavan than earth. What Was she when tho rcs?s played ou her downy cheeks, I could fancy. There was a deep wound over her heart, and it was quite evident that the blow had been given with right good will. On the floor, covered with blood lay the weapon a slight Damascene dagger, the handle richly set with pearls, strongly lit up with the reflection from the blood stained ivory. 1 was too late! Alas! the life blood was slowly dripping away. That masterpiece of creation was soon to be cold and inanimate. She slowly opened her eyes and fixed them with dying tovc upon tha young man who had summoned me to this scene of death. Sidney, ehe said, 'Sidney I am dying. My own Sidney, I could not live neglec ted. 1 told you I would love you lo death. Hiss me, Sidney.' She rank back, and death closed upon his victim! My companion sat for some time strangly stating at the lifeless form upon the couch. I could perceive that reason was tottering on its foundation, I was fascinated by his strange look. At last I went up to him. 'Sir,' I said, 'she is no more. Death has released her from her trouVss.' Dwad! did you say sho is dead, doctor!' said he with a strange and curious stare at m. Ah, and you have murdered her,' yelled the madman for such hs was now. 'You have murdered her, and I shall murder you. Ah! ah! it will be rare sport.' Before I could prevent him he .had picked up the dagger. Yes.' said he with a yell, 'I will murder you with her dagger. I will slab you in the same place. Oh. it will be rare sport to see you groan and struggle like she did. Ah! ah,' and he made a bound at me. Now this was far from pleasant. I did not know how to net. The mad man made a grab at me, which I fortu' nately eluded, and thiuking it better to fight in the dark, seised the lamp and cast it upo& the floor. The room was now dirk. The mad man set up a terrific yelling, and I could hear him lock the door and put the key in his pocket, while he was muttering, 'I will kill him, I will kill him. Oh, it will be rare sport to see him die like she did.' I felt my courage rise with the emergency. I half determined to tiy a struggle with him, but I knew the increased strength that the insane possess, and I thought it scarcely, prudent. What should I do? I must do something. It would soon be day light, when I would again be in his power. I felt for some weapon with which to defend myself, and as luck would have it, found a hoavy dumb-bell in the corner where I lay concealed. Soon 1 heard the mad man slowly searching for rno. I raised tho dumbbell, 'may God forgive roe,' J raid, it descended, and I was free; the mad roan

lay stunned on the floor. I rushed to j cradled and went off" in smoke.

ItiscMarged that we was 'bought by the dofense A mob after the meeting, or during its continuation, proceeded to Ward's housa and damaged it seriouslv. The Louisville Journal gives tho following account of it; In the mean time lhe elegant mansion of Mr. Robert J. Ward was stoned, the window s and window sashes were destroyed, the beautiful and extensive glass conservatory, full of the rarest plants and flowers, was demolished, and then the house was et on fire in front. The firebells gave the alarm, and the firemen rushed to the spot, and in spite of a resolute resistance on the part of a portion of the mob, succeeded in arresting the flames, but not until the front door had been wkolly burned out; and the costly contents of lhe house were thus left exposed to mob depredations. The mob remained a long time about the house, of Mr. Ward gazing with exultation at the work they had done, and then started off for the house of Mr. Wolf. But by the exertions of Col. Freston and Capt. Sibson, they were prevented from doing any injury to Wolf's house. They then separated with groans for WTolfe. The following is the Coiirür' account of the effigy burning and the attack on Ward's house. After the passage of the resolutions a strong cord was stretched between the two trees in the western part of the Court House yard, and upon it were hung fifteen effigies duly plarea'ded with the names of the persons they represented, after the thousands had gazed upon the swinging figures, the multitude unanimously demanded that they should be burned. Accordingly a fire was kindled mid Mr. Coppage mounted the fence to I point out to the lookers on the different individuals. 'These twe.ve.' said Mr. C. Hardin County jurymen,' and off they went blazing together. The torch was applied to another, and 'that,' said Mr. C. 'is Nathanial Wolf.

The Settlement of Nebraska. There "s one great movement which lhe agitation of the Nebraska ouention has set on foot, betides the mere political excitement to which it has given birth, and that is the speedy settlement of that vast and fertile country whiwh lies west of Missouri and Arkansas and between the northern boundary of Texas and the Missouri River. This territory which is watered by tha Canadian, the Arkansas River and all its tributaries, the Kansas and itsgreat tributaries, which nearly equal it in size and importance, the Platt or Nebraska River, and the Niobrarah river, and the capacities of which for supporting a Urge population, have been heretofore but tittle known has been brought prominently before the people, and tt is like a new laud just dis covered. A yet it possesses no glittering attraction like that which insured the settlement of California by a population which excluded slavery from its borders; but ' :t possesses merits of its own which the discussion in Congress has made known among that portion of the population most prone to furnish immigrants and pioueers for new settlements ' and who would hare remained probably

We ilonbl whether there is another town or city of any size iu the State, where Corporation taxes have been as closely collected, as they have been in our city by the Treasurer, Mr. Join L. Fry. The whole amount of delinquency for the city taxes on real estate, for the last year, was but two dollars and ninety cents, and the owner of the property was unknown, or it would have been collected. Great credit is due the property holders for the promptness with which they have paid their taxes. Therevrnua from taxation for the city last year, was over 3,000. Laporte irAij.
