VOL. 1. Select A pockn. THE OLD STORY. Come sit by mc.Katy, and tell ie Of what he was talking Uf t night, When you stood at the rate till the moonbeams Had quenched all the stars with their light? You come with cheeks glowing crimson, Aid ct vhshes glittering with tears, And a smile, which, half sad, half triumphant, Still over your sweet mouth appears. Did he he talk of the beauty of Summer? Or praise the wild rose's perfume? Or speak of our arbors so rustic, Where woodoine and jessamine bloom? "He told you a story !" Oh ! Did he? Well, Katy, dear, tell it to mc. "Ycu almost forgot it?" Already! How very much flattered he'd be! Yon say hat you "think I may guess it!" Yes, Kat y, the story I know, TisanolJ ule, yet always a sweet One; I'm certain that you found it so. 'Twas new in the first days of Adam Wj.en, wandering thro' Eden's fair bowers, In Eve's little car it was whispered, While she,blushing,playcd with the flowers. You're blushing, too; what's the matter? Why, what are tou crying about? Your graud father told your grandmother The very same story, no do-bt. Just three little wordstell the story What thousands of hearts they have thrilled! How many with joy have they gladdened! How many wi.h ßorrow have tilled! These three little words are: "I lovk tou!" You see 't is the Tery same tale That you heard there last night by the woodbines. Beneath the bright moon's silvery veil. Don't say I know nothing about it You know very well it is true; But, Katy, my dear, did you tell him The same storv that he told vou? üclccträ liliscrllann. The Gipsies. The greatest attraction in this vicinity, at present, seems to bo the Gipsies, of whom bat little appears to be known. There is something very mysterOU3 connected with them and their history, and the minds of many have been baffled in trying to determine their origin from whence sprung, of what nation they are a branch, and whither are they going. Fi r the benefit of those who wish to pry into futurity and learn the fate tha. awaits tho Gipsies, will give a few hint m regard to the;r cusl(im3 and manner9f So that all mar umj be confirmed as to their power of penetra ling the mystic veil of the future and of revealing things wonderfullv Strang. Where they sprung from is a question differed on by many, but the evidence which has been deduced from their manners and customs, and also from their lan guage, establishes pretty conclusively that j they are of Indian or Hindoo origin. Their first appearance it. Europe was in the yea 1414. y$t as they appear at the present lime, in clans, and were called Gipsies, from thtir supposed Egytian origip. In France they were called Bohemians, be cause the first county th?y appeared in was Bohemia. They have alwavä. and in all counties, ben considered as outcasts, notwithstanding they constitute a single race and speak a langngage peculiar to themselves. Spanish writer assert them to be of Moorish descent, relices of that peonle who once inhabited Spain. Others try to prove them to be of Persian descent, while there have not beeu wanting writers to prove them of European otign. But the greatest credence seems to be given to their being of Egyptian origin, which, though, is shown tobe very untenable. Their langugage is different from thau.f the Coptic, as are also thAc manners; are in that country they are trerded as in other parts of tho world, as foreigners. There has been a vocabulary of several hundered words drawn up, decisive of Indian origin, and shows that they aro the rcuce oi a wanuering race expelled from Hindoostan duiing the war of Timour Buy Tho men seldom have any occupation more than trading in horses and tinke-ing. They don't like to work at anything that requires much physical exeriion; their working is confined to smithing principally, and it has become proreibia! "so many Gipsies, to many smith." The women have always been known forthat peculiar art and power of telling "fortunes" making known what has past long since, with perfect accuracy, and divining what will come to pass twenty years hence, with the greatest plausibility. But hew this wonderful thing is done is difiicut to toll but there aro like most of their sex "hard to read." "Tnaf (ailiAn i: . , ""-' iu uic.uiiuies, seems to t0 characteristic of them in all countires. as ; wall as pilfering and steclinrr. Somo of .u i i . s them have attained somo eminence in those brutalizing exhibitions called pugilistic combats." There are considered, generally, a pest to society, and in mand countiics measure havo been taken for their extermination. They hav been known not only to take little things, but many instances aro mentioned of their tealinir nud carrvimr aW!,v childten, waiting until a rewaul was offered ?DÜ 1 ,n ret,,r"ff them.

mm PLYMOUTH, Since writing the above, we hare been conversing with a gentleman who, besides doing some business with the Gipsies, has been a close observer of their transactions. From what he says, we are led to believe that the "family" now in this neighborhood are an exception, in point of honesty and cleanliness, to a great portion of theGipsy race. The woman are said to be neat and tidy about their "houses,' and respectful and courteous to visitors. In mating some purchases at one of our stores, last week, on of tho men received six cents over-ehanije, which he discovered after returning to the camp, and immediately returned it. But one of this company, an old lady, was borr. in Egypt, the others being of English and American birth. We also learn that they are tired of their present mode of living, and design returning to Ohio, where several of them own good farms, and settled down. Owen County Journal. ———<>——— United States Marshal Colby received intelligence yesterday evening of the killing of Leonard Arms, one of his deputies at Topeka, on Friday, by John Richy, while attempting to arrest him on an indictment against him from the U. States district Court of the second district. From persons who arrived yesterday evening from Topeka, we learn the following account of the murder: At the last November Session of the grand jury, for the second district, Richy was indicted for robbing the post office at Willow Springs, but, resisting the service of the warrant, he was again indicted for that offence. On Friday Leonard Arms, deputy U. S. Marshal, was in Topeka for the purpose of arresting him, and in the afternoon went out to his house, in company with a friend. Upon arriving and finding Richy, he informed him that he had come to arrest him, when Richy asked him 'if he had a warrant?' Upon his answering 'Yes,' he replied he would resist, and drew a revolver. Arms then told him if he did not arrest him then, he would certainly do it at some other day and left the house.— After leaving he concluded he would return and again attempt to arrest him, and placing his revolver at half-cock, he again entered the house, telling Richy he would arrest him then. Richy raised his revolver, and retreating, told Arms 'not to approach.' Arms, disregarding the menace advanced another step, when Richy fired —the ball passing through his throat, immediately below the chin, and killing him instantly. Leonard Arms is from Wyandotte, where his family now reside. He was a man universally beliked, and leaves many friends to mourn his assassination. John Ritchy came from Indiana to this country. He is a Republican of the John Brown school, and, we understand, was engaged with him in his deeds of blood in this territory. He is a large propety holder in Topeka, and a prominent politician in his partyvhaving served in the legislature of 1853. Up to the hour when the stage left yesterday morning Ritchy had not been arrested. The sheriff and deputy sheriff of Shawnee county were not to be found, and, although he had fled, no efforts were made by the citizens to prevent his escape. LATER. Since writing the above, we learn that Ritchy has surrendered himself. Gen. James H. Lane has started from Lawrence to conduct the trial before a justice of the peace. Ritchy shot at the companion of Arms several times, after he had killed him. ———<>——— 'Misses Howe. At a tea party in Iowa City, a while ago, where thoe who havo 'benefit of clergy aro privileged characters, the 'Rev.' Samuel Slorrs Howe a frisky bachelor of over fifty winters, happened to be present as usual. One of he ladies at the tea-table thought to enliven the conversation by addressing him upon the subject of his recently engaging in the business of housekeeping that is, sotting up 'bachelor's hall; and asked how he got along, if he felt at home, ttc. Why, yes, ma'am, was the reply; 'I bagii to feel a good deal in the family way.' The ladies bit their lips, and concluded tho information was too good to keep from their husbands. St. Charles Intelligencer. ———<>——— ——>The continued yield of the Pennsylvania oil springs and veins is creating much excitement in their vicinity and elsewhere being calculated, as they are, to render that region of our country one of the richest in the Union. A gentleman in Union, Pa., recently commenced boring, and at the depth of 58 feet struck a vein, which is yielding him 12 barrels of oil per day. Others, from a greater depth, are securing 30 barrels per diem. It now becomes a question as to what the the effect of those discoveries will be upon the whale fishery.—[Evening Post.

INDIANA, THUKSDAY, MAY 3, 1860.

EXTRAORDINARY DOMESTIC AFFAIR.— About ten days since, a middle aged gentleman, of respectable appearence, stopped at the Kewanee house, via the eastern train. Soon after, he inquired for the residence of Mr. Glyde, of Wethersfield, and procuring a horse and buggy, he started thither. On arriving, he went to the door and inquired for Jenny Bassett—a girl of about fifteen years of age, who was at service in the family. The girl met the gentleman at the door, and after a long and earnest conversation, carried on in low tones, the latter left, and Jenny informed the lady she was living with that she wished to leave, as she had been offered easier service at better weages [sic]. The next day the gentleman called again, and the girl left with him. with the concurrence, as the lady supposed, of the girl's mother, Mrs. Greer, who lives in the neighborhood. It appears, however, that Mrs. G. knew nothing of her daubhter's [sic] intentions. After having left her place, Jenny went home to her mother's and obtained her consent to let Ella Basset—aged about eleven years accompany her to Mr. Glyde's. The two girls left home together, but, instead of going where the elder one had been living; they joined the mysterous [sic] gentleman above referred to, and all left by the next train for the east. The mother of the girls was almost distracted on learning of this strange escape of her daughters; and then the public obtained a clue to the probable cause of this sudden and most unexpected disappearance. It came out that many years ago the mother was married to a man named Bassett, in Connecticut. They lived together until the elder girl was four years old, and the young er some three months, when the husband and father left for California. For five years not a sylable [sic] was heard from him by the abandoned wife; and naturally she concluded that he was dead, and she was married to her present husband, Mr. Greer. Mr. G. knew nothing of the existence of her former husband; but since the girls were inveigled away, it has been ascentain [sic]ed that he commucated [sic] by letter with the elder one, and thus, it is supposed, obtained her consent to go with him when he he should come. Jenney, as we seen, on his arival [sic], was made the instrument to induce the younger child also to abandon her mother, who feels her loss keenly. It is a most dastardly act in the man Bassett, after so long an abandonment of his wife, to rob her of the children whom through years of loneliness and proverty [sic], she povided [sic] with the shelter and affectionate nurture of home. LATERr [sic]— Since the above was in type, we learn that the elder sister of Jenny and Ella has received a letter form Jenny, stating they were in New York, where they met their father, the person who took them away acting as his agent. It seems that the party stopped several days in Chicago to replenish the wardrobe of the young ladies. Altogether, this is a very sigular [sic] affair. ———<>——— ——>Mr. Ward, proprietor of a bowling alley in this city, was stunned somewhat this morning, by the unexpected appearance of a well dressed and rather handsome woman, claiming to be his wife.— She had in her arms a snub-nosed certificate of marriage, about two years of age, fair-haired, blue eyed, and very like its pa. Mr. Ward is a brave man and courageously faced the music. He acknowledged that, leaving wife No. 1 in Ohio, a few years ago, he became acquainted with the young lady who has shared his bed and board since he has been in Lafayette, and loving not wisely but too well, they were married and settled down to keep house, as a certain individual 'kept hotel.' The two wives met face to face, for the first time this morning. The youngest of the two, and the last married, a sweet-faced girl, not more than seventeen years of age, politely handed the unexpected stranger a chair, and they sat down together to talk the matter over. Mr. Ward was called out suddenly and left them to compromise as best they could. Like sensible women they concluded that, as a husband, the fellow was hardly worth quarreling about, and each announced a willingness to resign in favor of the other. The police got wind of the affair this forenoon, and Sheriff Godman waited up on the ladies with an invitation to appear before the grand jury. In the meantime Mr. Ward had concluded that a change of climate would be beneficial to his health, and took the first train out of town. His services will be needed in the construction of tho new prison, and we presume he will be sent for.—[Lafayette Courier. ——>Undoubtedly the oldest man in the world, says the New Orleans Crescent, is Capt. Viroux, of Belgium. He was born on the 9th of November, 1709, and is consequently 150 years old. He entered the army in 1830, at the age of 121 years, and remained in the service until recently, when he was put upon the pension list.

Another Jcdson Affair. A case of ptactical amalgamation has just come to light in our neighboring county of Washtenaw, which is, as usual, replete with the disgusting feature which characterize these affairs. A young girl seventeen years of age. a daughter of Mr. Hiram L. Stout, of the town of Sharon, eloped a day or two since with a negro boy who was in the service of her father, and, it is thought, has gone with him to Canada. The sable seducer's name is Bill Strong, and he is about twonty-three years old. The girl is an intelligent, well educated female, and no reason cm be assigned only her father is an Abolitionist of the unadulterated stripe, and thaught, as the repentant Judson. The parents aro nearly distracted over the occurrence, and are making every effort to recover their daughter. She has always been looking upon with esteem and respect, and th wohle community were taken by surprise when the facts were revealed. No suspicion was excited by the conduct of the couple, their love scenes having been tronsacted strictly in private. They went at first to the village of Napoleon, where they tried to get married, but could find nobody to perform tho ceremony. From there they departed, from unknown localities, and are supposed, reasonably enough, to have made a straigh wake for the Canadian territories. Mr. Stout has always preached the Aboliton dogma. We imagine that In will eschew amalgamation doctiines hereafter, and join the experienced Judson in supporting a tsraight Demoratic ticket. Practical teachings are servere, but effective. Detroit Free Press. The following concluding remarks of an able article upon the "Progress of the Irrepressible Conflict," which appears in the Joliet Signal of last week, are appropriate and well timed, and will suit any meridian, north, south, east, or west, wherever the Union wentiraents aro recived with favor, and where disunion is in disrepute: "Lovejoy is a representative man. He represents the Republican party a party arrayed upon a single issue upon uncompromising hostility to the South. No opposition to it on account of any particular feature that it possesses.but opposition to it in toto, in every feature. It is true a portion of the Opposition will tell us that they only wish the restoration of the Missouri Compromise another portion will tell us that they only desire to prevent the extension of slavery into the territories, but the representative men of the party like Seward and Lovejoy, and Sumner, de clare an "irrepressible conflict" with slave ry, which means that they intend to wipe it out altogether. Now, wo appeal to every true friend of the country to those old Whigs who venerate the memories of Clay and Webster are you willing to join this "ir repressible conflict" party and yield to the mandates of these men? Has the Union lost its sacred and inestimable value in our eyes? Are you prepared to regard your countrymen of the South as equals in crime with the Brigham Youngs of Utah? Aro you laboring to spread a servile insurrection over the South, and to subvert the federal constitution and to overwhelm in rum the only free government in the world? If so, aid tho "irrepressible contlictitcs in raising over our happy and prosperous republic the black banner of abolitionism, of sectionalism, of disunionism. ———<>——— WESTERN COLLECTIONS.— The New York Times publishes the following letter as an actuality. A business house received it in response to a modest dunning note of theirs to a Wisconsin customer; Madison, March 3, 1850 [sic]. GENTLEMEN: I am happy to be able to inform you that at last accounts my respected father was alive and in good health bodily, though in the last stages of the disease known 'out west' as the 'shorts' —pecuniarily. He is at present on his way to Pike's Peak, and should he be successful, will no doubt take pleasure in liquidating your demands against him; tho' from my knowledge of his affairs, I have no hesitancy in saying that at the present time, he 'will not be able to do anything' whatever, in that direction. He will, no doubt, feel quite pleased at your flattering allusion to your great faith in his honor— which I shall communicate to him in my next—and will, of course, do all in my power to sustain your faith—that being a family failing. ———<>——— ——>The Morning Herald of Scranton. Pa., on Thursday ladt, was attacked by a dozen persons from tht neighboring town of Punmore. The editor, J. D. Adams, and his employees wero severely handled. The difficulty grow out of an expose of a gambling-house in Denraorc. The nib wanted to know wh was its lufhor.

NO. 15.

iSTWe heard of a litte incident that happened yesterday that amounts to almost highway robery out yet if the principle suffer profits by the lesson, it will be money well expended. A young man from a neighboring town fell in with twon of our gay Cyprians aBd walked with them some distance along the bank of White River. Ariving at a place where a small boat was moored, the females proposed to cross the river-it would be so delightful and the gallent youth unmoored the vessle and rowed across. Anved there, the enramuriication setms to have been confidential for they got his watch and pocket-book the latter containing eighteen dollars and while he was rambling a short distance from the shore, the girls jumped into the boat and recrossed' sending back to him there lovo, and loud peels f laughter at his distress. By the time he could get to the bridge, they were in the city and concealed in some of their hiding places where, without the aid of the poliece it would be imposible to find them. He declined entering a complaint, for fear of an exposeure of his voluntary share of the frolic, and borowed money of a friend, to return home. When he goes pic-nicking again, he will be very apt to be more particular about his company. State Sentmal. AYnAT IT IIA9 XOT DoXE, AND WHAT IT has Done. The Detroit Free Press says abolitionism has been agitating for mor than thirty years, and it has not made one negro free, unless it has run him into Canada: it has not made one foot of soil free that wo'd not have been otherwise; and slave property is more valuable to-day than it has ever been before. But for Abolitionism, many negroes would hare been made free who are still in servitude; several the slave States would have plans of gradual emancipation, and slave property would have been less valuable than it now is. Abolitionism has accomplished no good, but a world of mischief. It has made it necessary that greater dicipline should be exercised in the government of the slaves; it has caused the fref negroes to be expelled from 6ome of the Southern States, and it will cause them to be expelled from all the others; and it las produced a state of feeling befwwMi the South and North, which, it it shall not be abated, will cause the dismemberment of the Union. Arizona. A gentleman who formerly resided in Dubuqu. but who is now an officer in tho United States army, wrote to a friend his opinion of Arizona, as fol-lows:-"Wo have just traveled over the talked ofteritoryof Arizona. Souch another God forsaken, untimbered,un watered and unfinished country never before fell under my vision and my optics have inn over a good deal of what is called bad country. The only thing that grovrs with luxuriance is tho pillar cactus. Some of these plants are thirty and forty feet high and, with their straight, unleavened columns, look as barren as the coutry around them. As to tho stories thai are told of the agricultural attractions of tho territory they are all lies. I believe that God, in His wisdom, has snpplied the.e hills with considerable mineral wealth, but beyond that they are worthless.' Times. 1 1 i 1 1 Süden Darkness. A suden darkness enveloped the city of Pitsburg nbou 7 o'clock Monday morDing.rendeiing the whole cit) as dark as night. The Chronicle says Previous to the change a painful stillness pervaded the city, rendering founds at a disanco plainly audible. The bell on tho East Liberty train was distinctly heard all through the second ward and other sounds equally distant were quite as audible. The wholo thing lasted but for a few moments, and when it had passed away, all seemed more or less relieved. jtfTSome negro thieves lately boxed up a slave in Nashville, and consigned him by Adam's express to Cincinnati. The negro, however, expressed his willingness to return, and was immediately taken back. Tho Cincinnati Commercial adds that the negro 'says the knd hearted individual who concocted the programme for his journey charged and received from him seventy dollars in cash and a double-cased silver watch. The unfortunate darkey is unsparing in his denunciation of tho 'poor white trash' who go to the South to get money from tho darkies under pretenco of getting them out of slavery.' ——>The heavy frost of Wednesday night and Thursday morning, we are fearful, has been disastrous to the fruit in this region. Many of the large leaved plants were frozen stiff, and the stems, and even the leaves were as brittle as glass. Our prospect for apples was never better than before this cold snap, but fruit men are now uneasy. The heavy foliage may have protected the germ on the inner branches, but so far as the trees have been examined our reports from the farmers say, that the fruit is wilted, and has every appearanco of being killed.—[State Sentinel.

KIT At a recent session of the Nfrth Indiana Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, held at Mishawaka, the Rev. C. W. Miller, late pastor of of Rob erts Chapel iti Indiana City, was expelled from the Conference and the Church by an almost unanimous vote. He made speech of about four hours in length in his own defense, but the Conference adjudged him guilty, and dealt with hlr accordingly. The charges preferred against him were based on impioper intimacy with a young lady of his congregation. ———<>——— ——>The New Buffalo Independent says that on last Thursday night the Railroad dwelling house in that place, occupied by Mr. H.

It was not known whether the safe had been opened as Mr. Gilbert had no key left to open it to make an examination. ———<>——— Watke Cou5tt Horsk Show.

"In Wilmington, North Carolina, onSaturday evening lasr, Joseph Canada, a young mechanic, who had just purchased a dirk, whih? jesting with a companion, playfully struck his own breast with the Vnif crying, 'Lay on.

II stated that he had not, but upon looking at his breast he percpived the blood, when he uttered d Lord!' and, falling tackward in the door, died almost immediately. It is supposed that when he struck himself with tho dagger, he intended to do so with the handle, as he had often corn befor ?epating dramatic quotations, and 'suiting the action to the word.' 57" A Mr. Tjock recently walked from her home in Arkans. ,0 Osceola, M .. a distance of several hundrer. -,jt.Kt i0 ge herßon. who was confined in jail i,. vjjj. ing an Indian, and starled back home t ehe caaae, afoot, unprotected and alon.
