Some days ago twq honest farmers out on Beaver Prairie got into a political discussion concerning the merits and demerits of the Green-English swindle. One (a Republican) opposed the Administration, and the other (a Democrat) sustained it. Soon the Lecomptonite was driven to the wall, when he, tb cover his retreat, triumphantly exclaimed: “Good God! if the leaders of my party don’t know what’s right, horn, can I know?" Man Beheaded. —On Monday the 28th ult., the body of George Staub, a German who had been wandering in the southern portion of the city for several days, in a deranged state of mind, was found completely beheaded at Spring Creek, on the St. Louis railroad near the city limits. His head was found some distance from his body, with the cap which he wore still on it, and was severed from the shoulders as smoothly as if it had been the work off a guillotine. It is supposed he had laid his neck on the rail for the purpose off being run over, and most effectually was the work of seif-execution accom p I ished.— Joliet Signal.
