RENSSELAER, IND.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1859.

QCF’The “boys” had another wolf hunt last Saturday, and caught another wolf, as usual. ! a long silence “Nell Narlie” again favors us with a communication. We would be pleased with an article every week from her pen.

NEW STORE.

We invite the attention of all our readers, to the advertisement of our well-known friend, Thos. Clark, who has purchased the store of the Messrs. Laßue’s. He says he has the largest stock ever brought to this place, and will sell cheaper than the cheapest. His new goods are expected to arrive to-morrow. It is unnecessary for us to say that Mr. Clark is a gentleman.

THE ELECTION.

Wo have heard from six or seven townships only, but the returns so far indicate that our whole ticket is elected by majorities ranging from one hundred to one hundred *&d eighty. . C&Mering the desperate efforts of tome Detnocrats, to defeat our ticket, by tickets and other frauds, the victory io one that should make every Republican rejoice. We do not believe that the Democratic candidates had any knowledge of the spurious ticket scheme, until they were printed; but when they did discover if, it seems to us that they ought to have publicly denounced it and its authors.

GRAND CIRCULAB WOLF-HUNT.

There will be a grand circular wolf-hunt, en Bearer Prairie, Saturday, October 22, which is to be governed by the following s programme of arrangements: The southern company will meet at the north-east corner •f McCullough &. Huston’s farm; those from the west, at the farm of Thos. Griffith; from the north, at Jas. Moore’s; from the east, at the Robison farm. Each of the four divisions will be on the ground in time to choose' a Marshal—whose duty it shall be to post the men, at equal distances, on his right and left—so that they may take up the line of march, by ten o’clock exactly, for the Lone Trees; that place being the center of “the wolf regton,” where the circle will close in by eleven o’clock. A general invitation is extended to all parts of the county.

DEMOCRATIC FRAUDS.

[We issued an Extra Gazette last Saturday, exposing some Democratic frauds. As we have had no reason to change our mind since, we re-publish the article, containing the facts and comments. The following is the extra, omiting the tickets for want of room:] Wear® pained and chagrinned at the discovery ofa high-handed scheme of dishonesty, which ought to consign its authors to their political graves. It is nothing less than to aVarf t’e people of Jasper county out of their rights. It is attempted to make the election a farce, by imposing upon the voters n spurious Republican ticket! A Jasper county Democrat has had such tickets printed at the office of the Monticello Jacksonian, a Democratic paper. It will be seen that one as a Republican ticket with the exemption «f the name of Alexander Sharp, for Auditor, which is put in the place of D. T. ffieletead, the Republican nominee. The ether ie a Republican ticket with the exception of Henry Barkley for Clerk, instead D- I. Jackson, our nominee; and the words "Alexander Sharp or D T Halstead," toetoed of D. T. Halstead, our nominee. Both tickets have at the end the name of | Xesqr M Nbune for District Prosecutor, j JTM Jtpppblinens-have jm>.candidate for that espe. - Wo havp p sample of these two spurious tickets Jo* in our pojwesaion, and we believe that the same dishonest gang of Dwamp Land thieves have printed other MM* of spurious Republican tickets, such as printing all the names of the Republican Candidates, but running them for the wrong offices. Watch close every ticket. Republicans! turn out and crush the vipers who thus attempt to despoil you of your right. Honest men of all parties, turn •Ut and put your seal of condemnation on the eeeondrels who concocted this revolting

scheme to defraud the majority of their just rights. It is so revoltingly dishonest that we would hardly believe it did we not see it with our own eyes. The perpetrators of it are dangerous to society, and they should be spurned by every honest man with loathing and disgust. They should be spit upon like dogs. Every man should set his face against them, and compell them to leave the community they have so deeply disgraced. Men guilty of such wickedness would not hesitate to steal, and are fit subjects to be confined within prison walls. Citizens! if you permit yourselves to be robbed of your dearest rights, farewell to the liberty your fathers fought for. But we know that you will not submit. No! the people of Jasper county are to intelligent, too honest, and love freedom to dearly to submit to this outrage. You will rise in your might and hurl the Treasury-eaters and Swamp Land thieves into merited oblivion. You will cast them from you as you would the leper. Their touch is polluting, from which arises a stench that fills the nostrils of all good men. This should be no party affair. A whole county is disgraced. There is a stain on her fair fame. Let the foul blot be removed at the ballot-box. Dig the political grave of these robbers of your liberties. Bury them deep from your sight to rot in forgetfulness, and press down the cof-fin-lid with a majority that shall keep them down forever. Watch. Be vigilant. See that every man is at the polls. Seal their doom forever. Let them die the death of traitors. Freemen! remember next Tuesday. Consider well your verdict. Strike down the assassins of private character. Remember that the Swamp Land thieves expect to succeed by destroying the good name of our candidates, by slipping in spurious tickets, and by the votes of the men at work on the railroad. There are one hundred and fortyone hands at work on the road, by actual count. Shall they outvote us- Let the setting sun next Tuesday witness the proud victory of the freemen of Jasper county.

NELL NARLIE, No. IV.

I The evening was beautiful, the ocean calm. A solitary vessel’s canvass was spread to catch the faintest breeze that might be passing. The sound of distant bells came floating over the waters, so clear and distinct the mariner could not doubt their tones though no ship was in sight, no land for many leagues. From whence came the sound be could not tell, but as the bell again tolled out on the stilly air in answer to the salute of his booming cannon he felt sure that though beyond his ken, others were sailing over the trackess deep—hearts, like his own throbbing with hopes and fears. It is thus with voyages on the sea of life. In my far off Ohio home I hear the echoing of the distant bells of Hesperia and would again return salute while passing over the changeful waters of destiny; their chimings tell that other barks are “sailing o’er life’s solemn main ” with their precious spirit-freight, all in quest of that Utopian shore where all hopes are to be fulfilled and sorrows fade into rapturous bliss. Months have passed from us likq shadows from off the figures on a dial since our last exchange of greeting—what tidings have they borne away to be graven on ever during recoids—what inscriptions has Time written on the tombs of the buried days. While birds have been floating in liquid melody the livelong summc- day, have we woven their songs into our life and our hearts re-echoed their choral song of praise to Deity for daily blessings? While the forests have been weaving and arrano-in'* their beautiful garments, have we been preparing robes of charity ! as they have gathered new strength by resistance to the raging storm and fierce blast, have we found [ new energy and a higher purpose by battling I bravely with the storms of life.' While the unsightly sod has changed to living green, fragrant clover and nodding blossoms, has unselfishness clothed the heart with verdure kindness shed its aroma, love opened her rose-hued flowers there ’ Alas for many ! for melody is as harsh sounds, strength of purpose has gone out from them, the desire for a purer life stifled in the pursuit of gain or pleasure, by the bitterness of regret, or perhaps crushed by the hand of thankless toil; or more pitiful still—the vital life is paralyzed and lies embalmed and hidden fn the mummy case of some great hope long since dead—for life has sorrows deeper* darker than the grave and “In the shadow of each pleasant tree, a grief sits idly sobbing to its leaves.” But swe tis the burden of a quaint old song that comes ebbing back on the tide of memory “Earth has no sorrows that heaven casnot heal.” Few, probably, have realized the visions of the ideal period of youth, and as we turn back the leave? of our heart-journal to the record of those sweet dreams and decipher their half forgotten hieroglyphic language, we experience anew the settling down of the shadows of fond hopes that have sunk behind the horizon of life. Regret says “It might have been.” “God pity us all Who vainly the droums of youth recall, For of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are those, it mijht have oeen.” Such recurrence to the past is judicious only as we address ourselves to the task of conning the lesson written there Perhaps

out aim was unworthy the efforts of immortal natures, though attractively arrayed in the glamour ot pleasure; and the chaliced goblet dashed away ere pressed to our lips contained a poisonous draught. Childhood loves not the restraint of parental authority—youth loves pleasure more than prudence, and maturer years leo often continue the pursuit of folly to the concluding act of the drama of life unless restrained by the chastening hand of seeming evil. Well for us if we recognize by whom and for what purpose it is laid upon us and earnestly ask “What would He have this evil do for me, What is its mission? what its ministry? What golden fruit lies hidden in its husk? How shall it nurse my virtue, nerve my will, Chasten my passions, purify my' love.” “God seeks for virtue, and that it may live it must resist.” •. “Wo may win by toil Endurance, saintly fortitude by pein, By sickness patience,,faith and trust by fear— But the great stimulus that spurs to life ' And crowds to generous development Is the temptation of the soul to sin Resisted and re-conquered evermore.” These golden sheaves of thought bound together in that beautiful and excellent poem of Holland’s Bitter-sweet, we may gather into the store-house of memory, scatter the precious germs of wisdom in our hearts, deep-plowed furrtvvs and their fruit shall be—peace and trust. Bitter-sweet, first the trial then the reward. If life be bitter, let its close be sweet. The mist rises from the valley and floats away in the ether blue—so may the fogs of life disappear in Heavens eternal azure.

A Case of Somnambulism--A Thriling Incident.

An incident of thrilling and almost terrible interest, combining in itself all the palpitating chances of hair-breadth escapes and the strange, romantic ventures of that weird semblance of life, somnambulism, occurred nigh before last. Th“ scene of this unusual episode was on Catharine-street, at the residence of Mr. Israel Moreton, a gentleman in whose veracity we have entire confidence, and from whose lips we received the statement of particulars. At about half-past two o’clock in the morning, he was awakened by a knocking : t the front door of his residence, and upon answering the call, found a man on the steps, who, in a very incoherent and excited manner, requested him to walk across the street and look at the top of his house. The propo-i----tion was so strange that he declined, and stood irresolute for a few moments, and was about retiring again, suspicions of foul play, when his eye caught a moving shadow on, the front ol the opposite house, cast by the moon, which was shining dimly through the fleecy clouds of a gathering equinoctial storm. It indicated that some moving, living thing was walking noiselessly along the narrow ridge of his roof, and, as he looked at its slow creeping motion, an indefinable chill crept over him. The shadow stoleacross the front of the opposite building, and was lost for a moment in the darkness, and then crept into a view again, returning in an opposite direction, with the same slow, gliding motion. His companion had regained the opposite sidewalk, and stood gazing up in silence, seemingly struck speechless with horror, and with trembling steps Mr. Moreton gained his side and turned his eyes in the same direction. Kis consternation may h® Imagined when his gaze fell up.,;, [he form of a human being, shrouded from head to foot in a long white night-dress, about which a mass of long hair, which gleamed darkly in the moonbeams, fell in wild confusion. This spectral foi m passed slowly to and fro on the narrow ridge-board which covered the apex of the roof, approaching' in frightful proximity to the abrupt termination at the ends, and calmly turning about to retrace the distance, alway with the same unfaltering step and easy, gliding motion. The house was a high one, and a misstep ora step to far, would have plunged the night walker down to certain destruction—as also would a casual sound, the shout of a midnight reveler, or the crow of a morning cock. The walker was a woman, and, as as she moved back and forth, she occasionally raised her hand to her head, as though engaged in thought or troubled with pain. The head never moved to the right or left, up or down, but always maintained the same position, erect, straight as a statue. A chimney stood directly in the middle of the roof, around which she passed with ease, placing one hand upon its top, and walking down the sloping roof to get around. Once in this spectral walk she paused at the edge of the roof, and, before turning, looked straight out ahead into the black night, as if peering beyond mortal vision, into some mysterious realm. A waving movement of the right hand accompanied this act, which lasted but a moment, when the walk was again renewed, and the light shadow passed across the faces of the. spell-bound gazers as she hid the moon for an instant from their sight. I he same spot was reached again a few moments after, when the figure again paused, and again gazed out into the darkness, and then with a .slow motion, stretched out a hand, and with outspread fingers clutched at something which had no existence except in the fevered mind of the sleeper. The other hand extended in like manner, and the'body went forward in such a way that the upper portion hung over the abyss, while the fingers reached out, out, until there was do further reaching, and then clutched again with a quick, convulsive snatch, and wore withdrawn. The form was motionless a moment; and then commenced its walk again, continuing as Eras the middle of the roof, when it turned toward the rear of the house, and, moving down the slope of the roof, was lost to sight. Mr. Moreton, vv bile witnessing this scene, had recognized the features and form’ of his servant-girl, a young female n>’ about eighteen, named Jane Mooney. With a leeiing of indescribable re iel he saw her disappear, and knew that she had descended a skylight to the garret and to her own room. Hastening in, he aroused his wife, and went with her to the girl’s room, and found her sitting

on the side of the bed, wide awake, and in a state of mind bordering on distraction. She had no knowledge of the occurrence, but -bad been awakened by the noise of her employer entering the house, and found herself standing in the middle of her own room in the condition described. That the results were no worse was a matter of devout thankfulness to all within that house. The girl had been suffering from a brainfever, from which she was gradually recovering, which undoubtedly caused this dangerous freak. She has no knowledge of my thing of the kind having occurred previously, and will be well watched in future, as she is highly esteemed. It was a thrilling adventure with a happy result.

Prize Fight.

Bcffai.o, October (>.—The prize tijiifllfs morning at Point Albion, in Canada, resulted in Price whipping Kelley in twelve rounds, occupying forty minutes. Kelly was seconded ‘by Harry Given and Johnny Massey, and Price by Heenan and McKay. At I:4Q, P. M., the men shook h'lbus and stripped tor the fight. Kelly appeared to be one mass of muscle and the more powerful of the two, while Price was clean-limbed, lighter and more active. Price held two hundred dollars in his hand, offering to bet that Kelly could not whip him in an hour, but nobody took it. First round—Price smiling and good natured; Kelly seeming cold and resolute. After one or two light prises they clinched, Prfi e throwing Kelly, but getting a black eye in the tussle. Second round—The men went briskly to work; after some counter hitting, Price struck Kelly on the left eye, drawing first blood. Some brisk fighting done; Kelly struck Price a blow which Heenan claimed was foul, saying iie would claim the fight if it was done again. The referee decided that it was not foul. Price was carried to his corner by Heenan, and the second round was drawn. Third round—Some wide sparring and one or two blows exchanged, when Price threw Kelly. Fourth round—Without much ado, Kelly struck full for Price’s breast, but missed his blow, Price dodging quickly and completely outstretched some hard blows; Price backed to corner clinched, and Kelly knocked Price down. Fifth round—Kelly came up more confident; Price looking not so fresh, but smiling; both guarded and cautious, closed in briskly and a dozen or two blows exch- nged; Kelly down. Two to one offered on Price, but not taken. Sixth round—Both came to the scratch after merely washing 'heir mouths with water. Kelly led off with a stinger under Price’s ear, r eceiving one full on the eye in return; clinched, and Kelly was thrown heavily. Seventh round—Both came up smiling and spirited; Kelly was backed into a corner, his eye bleeding profusely, and Price bleeding on the neck; 5 to 2 .offered on Price. Heavy hits were exchanged, and Kelly dropped. Eighth round—After sparring less than a quarter of a minute, P'ice knocked Kelly down. Ninth round—Price improving; backed Kel y to a corner; alter some spurring, Price threw Kelly. Tenth round—Price again backed Kelly to a corner, giving him some “bloody” blows, and Kelly fell. This round lasted about one minute. Eleventh round—Price again b.o ked Kelly to a corner; a tew passes were exchaitg- • <l, and Price knocked Kelly down. This round lasted ha If a minute. Twelfth round—Price vary confident; Kelly more so than before; alter some light sparring and some hard fighting. Price got Kelly into “chupcery,” punching him severely. Upon time being railed for the 13th

round, Kelly’s second threw up his cap as a signal of defeat. The right lasted 40 minutes.

Horrible Cruelty in the British Army.

The London Times gives the following report of a case of flogging in the British army for desertion: The first man, named Green, bore his punishment, as stated by an eye-witness, “like a true soldier;” but the second, named Davis, a young recruit, protested his innocence of the crime of desertion, bellowed ami screamed for mercy, and supplicated Colonel Eulbott and the medical officers, and others' who were present, to have compassion on him, or he should die. His back was covered with a mass of large red, inflated boils, which bled profusely at every stroke, and reddened the ground under his feet, upon which the cat was ordered to be withheld for a few moments, when, finding that his punishment was not at an end, he gave vent to exclamations for mercy, and partly succeeded in delivering himself by force from the straps which bound him to the halyards. The punishment was again ordered to be continued, when at every succeeding stroke his cries and exclamations were most lamentable, insomuch that the officers and men swooned away at the sickening spectacle, and had to be carried into the open air. One officer and upward of twenty non-com-missioned officers and men lung in the service fainted and others stopped their ears and closed their eyes, lest they, too, should become unnerved, and be subject to the reproach and ridicule of their comrades.
