Wheats »....

We#efe Uasured, this ^nbrning, by Mr. Genung, (one of our farmers,) that hundreds of busbels of wheat have been dimaged by the late and continuous rains. He had engaged his wheat at a specified price, but would willingly give any man fifty dollarstotake it off of his hands. We are truly sorry to hear this, and ctoly hope that it may not turn out so bad as anticipated. There is a general complaint of this kind through" out Vigo county.

A VAGABOND SHALT THOU BE IN THE EARTH.—A statement is going the rounds of the papers saying that "Matt Ward, the murderer," is in New Orleans driving fine horses, and enjoying all the courtesies of life usually extended to respectable men.

A correspondent of the New York Obteroer, in writing from New Orleans, says this is a great mistake, and adds:

At the13t. Charles^otei, last winter at the balls every lady who knew who he was refused his hand while dancing, and no father or brother would introduce him to their relatives. He is considered here a murderer, and an outcast, with the mark of Cain branded on his brow.

WARD

is now residing on a fatm a

few miles from Louisville. He is regarded by all his neighbors as a murderer, and even .his own servants look him as such. He has not a single mend left inj all the community, who would take him by the hand and welcome him to his threshold. Surely, the way of the transgressor is hard."

Attempted Assassination. We learn from the Cincinnati Times that very great excitement has existed in Hamilton, Buttler county, Ohio, for some days, in consequence of an attempt to assassinate Conrad Getfc, mide, as is believed by the citisens of Hamilton, at the instignation of the German Catholic priest of that'place* The Times thus explains the affair 1:

Some months ago, Mr. Conrad Gets, who keeps a grocery and dry goods store on the corner of High and Second streets, in Hamilton, became a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The prieat having control of the German Catholic congregation to which Mr. Gets was attached, ordered him to withdraw from the 6dd Fellows, or suffer excommunication from the 6liurch. "Mr. Gets preferred the excommunication, though,as he has considerable property, ^^eU«p^he has never been

More recently the same priest, through & third party, endeavored to get a donation from Mrs. Geta for the German Catholic Church building, in Hamilton, which has just been completed. The lady refused to give any thing, stating that, like her husband, she was losing &11 attachment for the faith. Hearing of this, the priest called personally on Mrs. Gets, and from time to time by threats and other means endeavored to abuse her mind against her husband. Last week ha tried to persuade her to give him enough of her husband's money to carpet certain portions of the church, and also insisted that it was her duty to love her husband, assuring her that if she did she would glorify Christianity, and bylaw receive the half of his wealth.

On Friday of last week, Mrs. Geta informed her husband of the conduct of the priest, and begged to be secured from any further intrusion. On Saturday, Mr. Getz met the priest on the street, and forbid his ever entering his house again. The priest became very much enraged at what he thought was the audacity of Mr. Getz, and among other things told him "he would settle his case before the week was out."

About ten o'clock, Saturday night Wm. Frechtling, clerk for Mr. Getz, left the store ana went to G's residence which fronts on Second street, in the rear of the store. As he was about entering the gate, two men sprang from a place of concealment and raising clubs Felled him to the ground. They appeared to discover their mistake th« moment they struck the first blow, fbr they dropped their clubs and ran. There is but little doubt that they intended to assassinate Mr. Getz, and that they were secreted there for that purpose. Frechtling attracted attention by this means, when he was carried into the house. He is still lying in a precarious situation, his recovery being extremely doubtful. The clubs were afterwards found iu the gateway. They are murderous sticks of green beech wood, evidently prepared to make sure work.

The good character of Getz naturally enough exasperated his fellow-citizens that such a dastardly attempt should bo made to take his life, for, though the bludgeons of the assassins had fallen upon another, the crime was none the less. The "Freethinkers" talked about lynching the priest on Monday night, but better councils prevailed and no such attempt was made. The priest, it seems, has thus far been able to maintain the confidence and sympathy of his congregation, who, in consequence of a report thatthe Protestants intended to burn the church, turned the building into an arsenal to resist attack.

The life of Mr. Frechtling was still in peril and a public meeting was talked of for Friday night last, to take measures, if possible to reveal the attempted assassins.

t3T John Mitchell is now residing on his farm, not the plantation in Alabama to which he aspired, but in Tucaleeche, Knox county, Tennessee. His health has greatly improved since he abandoned the editorial profession, and adopted the more geuial one of an agriculturalist. ^,

t£&' Hon. Henry A. Wise has just had fifteen thousand dollars bequeathed to him. -r 4
