ItileV, oh his form in Beaver township. < Mr. Bachtenkircber Wfts 34 years of age, leaves behind him a wife and two very thteresting children of the ages of G and 3 years. man was arrested about a year ago, in Frankfort, on. the charge of attempting to eommitt a robbery. He made strong promises of amendment; so much so, that a citiien of Frankfort made successful efforts to procure his pardon. On thursday he was qrrested on the charge of plundering his jfenefactor, and While making his detense in the office of the Aiderman, he fell to the floor in a violent fit. When restored to consciousness, he wis so terrified that he confessed the robbery.— Philadelphia Gazette. Vincennes Gazette says it is informed by Mr. Thomas Jourdan, that more than fifty carcasses of deer killed by the “black tongue,” have been found in Lawrence county alone. We have noticed before that this disease was reported to be doing mischief among the deer, but we had no idea that it was so fatal, or so wide spread. —State Journal! ——. (XCyAn Arkansas editor, while out hunting recently, was pursued by a grizzly bear that he had wounded, and had to climb a tree and stay there all night. In the morning, as soon as it got light enough to “draw a bead,” he shot the bear, descended from his elevated lodgingrplace, and hastened in the direction of a warm breakfast.

This little boy a short time before his death seemed to have a presentiment of his approaching dissolntio-n, and culled his physician to his bed-side, and asked him if ho could live; on being informed that ho must die, exclaimed, “O well,” and turning to his father gave directions with reference to the manner in which the little property which he claimed should be distributed among his sisters. Ho then gave directions in regard to the place and manner of his burial, after which he called for mother and sisters, embraced fthem and bade them farewell. Thus has passed away one of the brightest children the writer Ikis ever seen.

LARUE, and having added to the stock on hand a larger supply of Dry Goods, Groceries, Clothing, &.C., than was ever before brought to this place at one time, and having bought Dry Goods at extraordinary reasonable terms, I cun assure the public, withsut any stretch of imagination, that I am abundantly able | to sell at extraordinary low figures—hitver than i ever before offered in Jasper county.

READY MADE CLOTHING. I would call especial attention to my stock of Ready-made Clothing.

Come and examine my Stock. GROCERIES. My stock of Teas, Sugars, Coffee, Molasses, Sirup, Soap, Candles, Spices, and everything else in the Grocery line, cannot be surpassed. In fact, it surpasses any establishment in Rensselaer, as anybody will say who will call and look through it I believe that I have purchased my Groceries on more favorable terms than has eyer been done by uur merchants, and I can consequently offer them at greatly reduced rates, COUNTRY PRODUCE WANTED Country Produce, such as Rutter, Eggs, Chickens, Beeswax, Rags, &•£., wanted at all times, for which the highest pfjr;e in goods will be pajd.

THE great favor with which my Grand Annual Gift Distribution, (drawn 25th December, 1858,) I was received, and the fact that 1 was unable at that i time to supply near all the tickets that were desired, has determined me to prepare a scheme that surpas-s----i es in mdsuificence anything that has heretofore been attempted, and Avoiding better chances t.o the tick- ! ct holders to do well than could possibly be given in a scheme of less dimensions. I All money received will be deposited in bank by the projector, until after the drawing, and will be j returned to the persons sending it, if every thing docs not take place as advertised. Persons who desire, can deposit their money in sums of fifty dollars and upwaids with 11. Duhme & Co., a well-known and responsible jewelry firm in this city, who have cun* 1 seined to retain and take charge of all sums deposited with them until after ‘.he drawing. The total value of prizes to be distributed is One Hundred Thousand Dollars, and the number of prizes i is hive Thousand, and the whole number of tickets being Twenty Thousand, there is consequently one chance in every four tickets. The drawing, as above staled, will take place on Monday, the 2d day of January, in a public hall in Cincinnati, and all the tick- . et-hulders who can possibly be present are earnestly i requested to attend. ; The capital prize is the residence built and occu- | nied by myself in Covington, Ky., opposite Cincin- : nali, (being the handsomest and best arranged dwelling in the city,) with grounds belonging thereto.

It has had about a month’s ser- . vice—just enough to test its good qualities. The horsts are in accordance with the carriage, being matches, spirited and docile, and beautifully made animals, and the harness is a set of the best silver- • mounted that could be made The price (one thou* ' sand dollars) at which this entire turn-out is put up, ; is much less than it cost to me. and would be a bargain for cash.

There are fifteen hundred prizes of American Gold in Hie scheme, in sums ranging from five to one thousand dollars each, which speak fur themselves.

SINCE I originated the Gift Book Enterprise, I have repeatedly called the attention of the public to my large stock and liberal offers, to which they have always warmly responded. I can now, with more satisfaction than ever, call attention to my largely increased inducements to purchasers. Being very heavily engaged in publishing, I exchange my own publications for those of other publishers, and am enabled to procure all my books at the original cost of making, and thus can supply the majority of the other houses engagedin the book trade, with their books cheaper than they can procure them fruirr the publishers. I can also, by my heavy purchases of watches and jewelry, furnish dealers at lower rates than they can buy them from the manufacturers. Having such an advantage in buying, I can assure to my customers better gifts with their books than any other house, and can give to my agents a larger commission. A valuable gilt will be delivered with each book at the time of sale. Gifts worth SSOO, at the lowest wholesale prices, will be impartially distributed with every SI,OOO worth of books sold. Send for a catalogue, containing a most valuable collection of standard productions in Literature, including Histories, Biographies, Geography, Travels, Adventures, the Arts and Sciences, with all the faI vorite works of Fiction and Romamce, in every de- ' partment of Literature, classified as described below, which will be mailed free to any address, and if you don’t wish to order books at present, preserve it as a . valuable book for reference, as it contains a list of all the desirable books in print, and will cost you nothing.
