WEEKLY EXPRESS

TERRE HAUTE, IND.

Wednesday

Morning, Feb. 2, 1870.

THE importanccof.successfully inaugurating the campaign of 1870 should insure a large attendance at the County Convention next Saturday. Will our friends in the country show themselves in force on that occasion? {.

effort will be made during this session of Congress to pass a general bill prohibiting the granting of public lands to railway companies or other large corporations, and providing that the public lands shall be sold only to actual settlers, under the preemption and homestead laws.

THE ATTENTION of Irishmen]* and especially of Fenians, is invited to the fact that AUGUST BELMONT, Chairman of the .National Democratic Executive Committee, is one of the thirty-six rich men in New York who propose to give PRINCE ARTHUR a ball in honor of his royal mother.

IT IS generally conceded that in addition to the unpardonable sin of having a colored skin, the new colored Senator from Mississippi is a gentleman of education,a talented speaker and a zealous minister— all of which, in the estimation of the Democracy, are irrefutable arguments against the propriety of his election.

IJOSTON papers inform us that the Cambridge schoolmasters and schoolma'ams are still in favor of the use of the sharptailed hickory. Forty-six of their number have reported unfavorably of the abolition of corporal punishment in schools eight favorably three others are almost converted to humanity and five, desiring no change, may be held to be non-committal.

MR. CULLOM'S bill for the suppression of polygamy in Utah, which will doubt-

le-s

less become a law, provides that the President may, if necessary, call out twentyfive thousand volunteers among the citizens of the Territory. The Cincinnati <Times> suggests that with the resources at his command, BRIGHAM should have no difficulty in opposing the enforcement of the law with an unlimited force of <in-

fantry>. ———<>———

IT IS very strongly pointed out in our exchanges that a very general and deepseated discontent prevails in England, and one writer goes so far as to say that the struggle for bread,the pressure of poverty,the difficulty of getting on, the hopcless prospect which lies before the-vast majority of poor men in Lngland the immenseburdens imposed upon all classes, ha\e almost extinguished tlie love of country. Patriotism, if not dead, is in deep lethargy.

SENATOR MORTON favors us with number of valuable public documents. As our distinguished member of Congre. is a representative of his parly only, the attentions of Senator MORTON arc pecu liai ly acceptable. It was the customjof Mr. VOOBIIEES' predecessor to remember his constituents irrespective of party, but that degree of magnanimity is quite bejoiul the "Tall Sycamore." Wc are content, however, with the present arrangement, and hope it is as satisfactory to the T. S.

DR. FRANCIS LIKIIEK, author of Political Ethics and other valuable books has, under instructions from the Union League of New York, reported on the use of public funds in that city for sectarian education. In a single year over $500,000 have been taken from the school fund of that city for the use of religious sects and of this sum a single sect has received over $-100,000. The same sect has received from the city as a gift real estate to the value of $3,250,000. Is this according to the American system? Are Church and State to lu united in New \ork and through the whole country as fast as a single sect shall obtain the balance of power between the pip-tics?

THE Committee on Territories have perfected the bill to punish polygamy in Utah, and to enforce the laws of the United States. Several important amendments have been made to the bill in committee. It defines polygamy to be a crime against the laws of the United States, and provides that, in order to enforce this and other laws of the United States, the President shall order into Utah Territory a sufficient body of troops: and he is authorized to raise twenty-five thousand militia in the Territory. The bill provides that the property of such of the Mormons as leave the Territory, because of the existonce of this law, or are confined in jail for resistance to any of the laws of the United ^States, may be taken and used for the benefit of the families of such Mormons. ———<>———

OU KEianuacAN 1-RtENDSshould

bear

in mind that the convention which meets in this city next Saturday—the call for which will be found in another columnis a mass—not a delegate—convention. In such a body every member of the party is the peer of any other member all have equal responsibilities and eipial rights. No Republican can consistently neglect to attend, and it is the duty of all who cher­

ish

the great principles of the party, all who believe that the maintenance of those principles is essential to the prospetiU and happiness of the country, to attend a convention which must,inevitably, have a very great inlluence in shaping the cir cumstances that will control the State canvass upon which we are soon to enter With a single exception there is no conn t\- in the State whose inlluence in State politics is more potent than that ot N igo, Whether that influence shall be wisely and properly directed depends, to a great extent, upon the result of the convention

of

Saturday next.

HERE are some suggestive facts illustrating the alarming progress of railroad consolidation: Seventeen years ago the New York Central was composed of ten independent lines. Now from the eastern terminus of the Pacific railway, there are only four trunk lines leading to the Atlantic. The Baltimore and Ohio is master over 820 miles of road and $85,000,000 of property, in place of 523 miles and $31,000,000 eight years ago. The Pennsvlvania Central, in 1861, had a capital of $31,234,559; it now controls at least 2,700 miles of track, and $160,000,-

000

000 of capital. The Erie railway runs over 1,200 miles of unbroken broad gauge, and represents, probably, $125,000,000 of actual capital. The New York Central controls, within the limits of one State, and under one head, as the property of one man, 974 miles of track, with a capital of about $125,000,000, and, with

$125,000,000..

and, with

its connections, is master of nearly 5,000 miles of track, and more than $300,000, 000 of capital. In this rapid manner are these corporations becoming a leviathan stronger than the States. Three States

are already owned by them—New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland—and New York, doubtless, soon will be.

GEN. JOHN EATON, whom the President has nominated for Commissioner of Education, is a New England man, agraduate of Dartmouth College. He had charge for a long time of the affairs of the Freedmen in Tennessee, under Gen.

THE "proud old commonwealth" Kentucky is an intensely Demoaratic Slate, and legislation is carried on there and laws enacted ,on purely Democratic principles. Says (.lie Frankfort Commonvxalth: "Murder, by Kentucky law, is crime to which death is attached as penalty. A negro will be luing for it any court of the State on testimony either white or colored. A white man cannot bo punished for murder, no matter ho atrocious, committed in the sight of colored witnesses only. Kentucky, therefore, measures the crime of murder not by the enormity of the offense, but by the skin of the offender. It is murder in the negro under all circumstances—it is minder in the white man only when he kills white persons. There is no law in Ken tucky and no courts for the offense of killing a negro, when not done in the presence of white jiersons. So, slay on, ye villians. a legislature stands at your back to protect you from punishment! What mockery—what humanity—what civilization!"

THE 'NCIO Nation is the name of a newspaper established in the interest of the Winnipeg revolutionists. It declares that "the Hudson Bay Company's government is obsolete and can not be resuscitated that the Government of the New Domin ion has, through injustice, alienated the people from either seeking or permitting its protection. The Imperial Government is too distant to administer the affairs of the country intelligently. The United States offers the best system of government for the prosperity of the country but in our present dependent position, we cannot have what we need in that direction and hence we will hold it our duty to advocate the independence of the Red River people as a present cure for public ills, looking forwrrd to annexaiion to the. United States, in the future, as sure to follow, bringing with it the advantages which we require."

TIIE St. Louis Democrat thinks it is a pity that a man who has done such service as liutler should be moved to get on his feet in opposition, whenever a man advocates reform or fidelity to pledges! It is a pity that such a man should lend himself to defend the greed of monopolists or the tricks of demagogues who seek to build up themselves by taxing the country! He is too much of a man to becaught in that crowd"! Other members there may be, perhaps, who can get clccted only by serving some ring of public plunderers, or bv getting public money wasted ii their districts. lut Ben Butler has the brains to rise above these if he like

A WOMAN' SUFFRAGE CONVENTION will be held at Springfield, Illinois, next Tuesday and Wednesday. The principal object of the meeting is to lake measures to have the claims of women to equal civil and political rights with men properly presented to the Constitutional Convention, before that body shall take final action upon the report of the minority of the Committee upon the right of suffrage made the special order for Feb. 10), re commending that the people be allowed to vote upon the question whether they will permit women to exercise the right of suffrage.

THE Postal Department, remarks a cotemporary, ought to be self-sustaining.— It would be, if every member of Congress, and other officials many times as numerous in all parts of the country, were not using the mails free. The quantitv of mail matter sent free of charge cannot well be estimated, but it is certainly large enough to more than cover the yearly deficit in the department. It is high time to reform this thing, among others, and if people want to send clothes home to be washed, or pet kittens and alligators in the mails, let them pay for the fun!

THE murder spirit is rampant in Ten. nessee. In a single week more murders are often committed in that State than in manv other States during an entire year A correspondent recalls live assassinations perpetrated during the last fortnight. Last Wednesday five negroes murdered, in Carroll county, a man named Coleman. The deed was perpetrated in the heat of passion. The colored men were arrested, confessed their guilt, aud were conlined in jail. The next night a large party of men rode in'.o the town, surrounded the jail, overcame the guards, look the five negroes from the jail, ranged them in line, and then sho them down, volley after volley being fired into their bodies. We need not remark that great excitement prevails in that portion of the State. Even the Conservative Legislature has been frightened into taking notice of this rampant lawlessness. A bill has been passed in the House, and will doubtless be put through the Senate wilhout amendment, providing the most stringent regulations in regard to masked raiders. It provides heavy fines and long imprisonment for those who arc captured while engaged in anynet gf yjylence'while masked or disguise^,

AFTER all the rumpus raised about Judge Busteed, ,it now appears that the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives, who have been investigating this case, have failed to discover any bribery or corruption against him, and the chances are that their re port will be in his favor.

FOR some days much excitement existed in Evansville in regard to the trial of Sylvester Deeds, on a charge of killing Deputy Sheriff Fitzwilliams.

THE Goats at Evansville arc eating the bark off the young shade trees.

They attack small boys, they scare the ladies, tliey devour the morning newspapers with a relish, they lick stamps off the beer barrels, their odor is too pungent bv half, and they go everywhere, whether welcome or not. If the owners of these four-footed tormentors will not remove them, then the City Marshal, 'or any other chap,' should be authorized to get rid of them, in the easiest and speediest manner possible. 'And that's what's the matter.'

ONE ED. HEADERLY, Indianapolis, who appears to have been showing very mark ed attentions to a married lady for some time past,j and who, when remonstrated with, refused to desist therefrom, was severely chastised by the irate husband last Saturday. The Indianapolis Journal concludes an account of the affair thus:

Several days since, Mrs. left home, and went to a relative's house in the city, where she remained until Saturday, Mr. believing that she had gone to Crawfordsville. On Saturday she returned, and in the meantime Mr. had learned that she had been seen in company with Headerly. He remonstrated .vain with her. On Saturdays. Headerly passed the house, and with gay audacity, saluted Mrs. —This was too much for the husband's forbearance. He took up a curling iron, with which he sallied forth in pursuit of Headerly. The latter walked up to the Bates House, entered McGaw's cigar store, bought a cigar, lit it and came out on the pavement, where he encountered who drew the curling iron,and began striking him over the head. He struck ihree blows—two on the top and one on the back of the head—each laying open, the flesh to the skull, and inilicting terrible wounds. One of tbese "ashes is five inches in length. Headerly was taken to the office of Dr. Kirkpatric, on Market street, where his wounds were partiallv dressed. There was great effusion of blood, and Dr. Kirkpatric took up several of the severed arteries. Headerly was finally removed to the residence of his brother-in-law, where he now lies.— At first it was thought that his injuries would prove fatal, from concussion of the brain, but last night he was doing well, with a good prospect oi recovery. reported himself to the Mayor's office, and that official fined him one cent and costs.

Headerly in personal appearance is anything but attractive, being white eyed and not an Adonis by any means. He is recently from Minnesota, and was employed'for a while in measuring wood for Mr. Loomis.

Mr. is well known to most of our citizens. He is personally one of the kindest and mast amiable of men. slow to anger, and willing to be imposed upon to any reasonable extent rather than engage in anything like strife.

The affair, from the prominence of some of the parties, has created a great deal of talk in thecitv, and Mr. is generally sympathized with.

IPP8S

THE Evansville Courier learns that on Friday "the body of a man was found in an old field near Decker's station, on the Evansville and Crawfordsville railroadIt was not known how the man came to his death. It is probable that afoul deed has been committed, but of that, there appears to be no evidence."

THE FRFSS in all parts of the country are commending the goed sense of the Benton county farmer who, on discovering the infidelity of his wife, quietly sent her off with her partner in guilt, giving her a well-filled purse and all her "duds." A cotemporary sensibly remarks that "the gentleman whose home has been so ruthlessly invaded has certainly pursued the course most suggestive and reasonable to common sense. But few men in this day of pistols and murder, would have submitted so. Homicide has been so common in such cases, and is looked upon as being the only redress, that it is cheering to see a case where good sense and sober judgment are in the ascendancy." ||j|

IT IS a matter of congratulation to the Republicans of Indiana, that the vote of our representatives in Congress was cast against the League Island swindle.— Upon the motion to indefinitely postpone the bill made by Mr. Dawes, Messrs. Julian, Orth, Packard, Tuner and Williams all voted in the affirmative Messrs. Coburn and Shanks were not in the House when the vote was taken. Messrs. Kerr, Niblack and Holman voted with the Republican majority, while Mr. Yoorhees was absent. Taking out the Representatives from Pennsylvania, the vote in favor of the job "was politically divided thus: Democrats, 23 Republicans, 18.— Ind. Journal. 'It will be noticed that, as is usual on all important occasions, "Mr. Voorhees was absent." Tom Benton had no better title to the name of "The Great Expunger" than has Daniel to that of. Tlie Great Absentee.

STEPHEN LAMB, of Jasper county, re-, cently deserted a young woman whom he had promised to marry and who had an urgent reason for desiring an immediate fulfillment of the contract. The deserted learned that the deserter was working on a farm some twenty miles from her father's residence, and determined to bring him to book. Accordingly Ehe armed herself with a revolver, saddled and mounted a nag and made the best of her way to the place of Stephen's retirement. We haven't space for minute details, but it will suffice to record that she found him alone in the forest, chopping wood that she compelled him to go with her, on pain of instant death, to the office of the County Clerk, when a marriage license was procured and where a magistrate, hastily' summoned for the purpose, united them in matrimony. This done, the spunky woman told Stephen to go about his business, and she, with a marriage certificate in her pocket, rode home to her father's house.

EUNICE REDMAN, the daughter of a Jackson county farmer, was awakened the other night by a peculiar noise under her chamber window. Peering out, she saw a man slowly ascending a ladder which he had placed in position with the evident intention of entering her apartment. Being a young lady of spirit and resolution, she instantly decided on her course of action. Keeping out of sight and very quiet until the man was some fifteen feet from the ground, she leaned out, grasped the top of the ladder and instantly threw it over. The fellow gave a yell of horror which awoke the male members of the family who, on rushing to the scene of the midnight disturbance, captured a stranger with a broken leg and having upon his person sundry burglars' tools and deadly weapons. Eunice is a spunky girl we think, and through country-bred she commands our respect almost as much as do those dear creatures in lace and dia monds who insist on swooning—provided there is a gentleman at hand to catch and support them-whenever a spider or worm obtrudes its hideous form upon their vis

ANOTHER MURDER has just been committed in Evansville. On Sunday night James Reddy, a steamboat roustabout, shot and instantly killed Monroe Holt, a deck hand, belonging on the steamer Hartford. The Evansville <Journal> of yesterday gives this account of the affair:

Last night Monroe Holt and Martha Epperson, a woman of bad repute, were walking down Oak street together. When near the corner of Fourth they met Reddy, who stopped and began talking with the woman. Holt walked about half way down the square to a house where his brother was stepping, and told him to follow him. Monroe then when [six] went up near to Reddy and threw a bowlder or brickbat at him, which missed Reddy and struck against the side of H. Habenicht's house. Reddy then pulled out his revolver and fired. Holt immediately turned and run towards the house he had just left, and got into the back yard and dropped dead just outside the door. Reddy ran in another direction, and up to half-past one o'clock this morning had not been arrested although the Chief of Police, the City Masrhal [sic], and the entire police force were on the alert.

A Coroner's jury was summoned by Frank Morris, and an inquest was held. From testimony elicited we glean the intelligence that a grudge has existed for some time between the two men. About two weeks since, Holt sent Reddy a challength to fight a duel, and the latter returned word that he would fight him in any manner and at any time, although we understand that it is probable that it is probable [sic] that Holt never received Reddy's answer. Holt was only 18 years of age. —————

THE New Alband Ledger tells this sad story of the desertion of a liusbandand babe by a wife and mother:

A couple of days ago a young husband left his young wife happy in the morning when he" went to his day's work. He did not dream of any dissatisfaction toward him on her part", but regarded his domestic happiness as altogether lovely and firmly- established. He labored on through the day, and when the evening shadows had disappeared in the twilight, he cc-a^ed his labors and wended his wayhomeward. Love lent speed to his movements, and the thought of a warm supper and a jolly time with the baby and wife were sources of comfort to the husband as he plodded his weary way homeward.

But, alas! human pleasures are evanescent, and human joys arc often dashed suddenly to earth. So it was in the pleasureable anticipations and the domestic jovs of this New Albany husband for when* he arrived at home, no wife found he there to greet him no baby to cackle or coo him welcome. In the center of an otherwise barren room, however, was a bed, and this bed was the sole occupant of the house, not even an old chaifleing left to keep it company.

The wife had fled, finding in the society of a gay and dashing glass blower joys and pleasures such as her husband had never brought her. She chose him as her affinity, and together they took passage on a train on the Jeffersonville Railroad, and hid away to some retreat where tliey might enjoy their love undisturbed, with no irate husband to molest or make them afraid. The baby was left with a neighbor, and the unhappy and deserted father and husband has recovered it and will devote himself to its comfort and proper rearing.

This is the first New Albany wife that has run away for a long time. The verdict of the public will be that the husband has had a happy riddance of his worse half.

THE VIRGINIA BILL SIGNED. WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—The President tc-day signed the bill admitting Virginia to representation in Congress,

From the German of Jull» Von KodenberB.l Happiness is but a vision— ,«:v It loves not wealth-or iceries of splendor Softlr within thy hemrt it steals,

A sweet sorpnae, so kind and tender. ,:,:

It moves not in the giddy dance It floats not on the sparkling wine It weaves for thee the rainbow hnes,

From ennbeama glow and dewdrops shine

With words thoa nevereanst bind it The drunkard's voice it will not hear With poef song and melody

It steals upon the enraptured ear.

From the world's sorrow and mourning,1 From the rude crowd it flies away But where two hearts unite.

There will its gentle influence stay.

There its voice is like the lark's song. Its breath like the flower's bloom There happiness is a May day,

A blossom of sweetest perfnme.

But the bud dies in the dark night From thy loved one thou must part But what one brought the love and hope.

In sorrow's hour shall cheer thy heart.

If happiness has long departed, Still trembling thrills of joy will come Thou gazest at the evening sky

And thinkest of the morning sun.

OJf THE SHORE.

"Going away," I think you said? With never a word for me Going away I and I turned my head In vain, for the sun in the west is dead-

All dead on the darkling sea.

Why did he leave like this? God knows Weary, I think, of his love Ho left me a kiss and a n9w-plueked rose: And I—for the fancy's sake—I-suppoae—

Gave him my violet glove.

The ships sail over the seas, I know. Too far for a maiden's sight! The ships sail on, the strong winds blow, •And some to the lands of the Orient go.

And—some to the starless night.

I look, and over the waves afar, The white sails flicker and gleam. And the ship rides gayly over the bar But the night is black, with never a star,

And my heart is sad with its dream 1

Only the dim of the sea's far strand. Only the dark I see For he left me here, by the trodden sand. With only arose in my little hand.

And never a word for me.

THE Rev. Amos J. Cummings, the managing editor of the New York <Sun>, is one of the most remarkable personages in the newspaper profession. He never sleeps, but works for twenty-five hours out of the twenty-four. His editorial duties give him no time to eat his meals regularly, but he snatches time to devour a little sawdust bread twice a day. He is a very rapid writer, using both hands himself on different articles, and dictating five others to amanuenses at the same time. When Mr. Greely is out of town, Mr. Cummings writes his political economy articles for the <Tribune>, the two editors cherishing identical opinions on the great questions of the day, besides being very warm personal friends. For this reason Mr. Cummings is thought to inspire many of the pleasant notions of Mr. Greelly [sic], which appear in the columns of the <Sun>. Mr. C. does not go out of the <Sun> office for his regular exercises, but is called upon about every ten minutes to fight some one who enters to cowhide the editor. In this way he keeps his muscle and science up, and is afraid of a tilt with no one, from John Morrissey and Henry Ward Beecher to James Fisk and Rev. Horace Cooke.—<Boston Times>. —————

The Franking Privilege. Many Senators—probably a majority— manifested a desire to vote at once upon the House bill abolishing the franking privilege, but an objection was made, and it went to the Committee on Post Offices. That committee being in favor of the bill, it will be reported soon, and passed without delay, unless Sumner, Stewart and Garret Davis get to talking on it. The franking privilege is the most conspicuous subject of conversation here, at this time. It is in everybody's mouth, and Congressmen think that the public will be willing, before many months, to petition for its re-enactment, in view of the fact that it stops the free transmission through the mails of newspapers in the counties in which they are printed, and also the free exchange list to newspapers. It is not improbable that Mr. Anthony, or some practical newspaper man, will insist upon amendment.— <Wash. Cor. Cin. Commercial>. ———<>———

THE Cincinnati <Commercial> has been amusing itself with statistical inquiries to the <Journal;> now it is our time. The <Commercial> favors the abolition of the frank, and says "it is maintained at an expense of $5,000,000 annually." Will the <Commercial> give us the figures for this? We will answer its question as to the cost of pig iron, when it answers ours as to the cost of the frank—and before.— <Ind. Journal>.

A SERIOUS AFFRAY.

CHICAGO, Jan. 28.—Last night, at 11 o'clock, a policeman went into a saloon, on the corner of Kinzie and Wells streets, kept by Joseph C. Doigne, an Italian, to arrest "the barkeeper, named Joseph Mileriva, who had just assaulted and seriously injured a customer, named Henry S. Moore. As the policeman was forcing his prisoner toward the door, Doigne entered, and, after a few words, drew his revolver and fired two shots at the policeman, just entering his neck and inflicting a dangerous wound. The latter then drew his revolver and shot Doigne in the heart, from the effect of which he died in a few minutes. Doigne was a noted desperado, and his death is the subject of congratulation Officer Fechter, the policeman, is in a critical condition, but it is hoped that he will recover. ———<>———

EN EXCITING SCENE.

A Anther Teaches His Boy a Lesson and Nearly Drowns Him. -.^3 From the Milwauk]e TVisconSin.]

Last evening about five o'clock, an exciteing scene was witnessed near the entrance to the harbor. A father had often forbidden his boy, about nine years of age, from going upon the dock, fearlul that the little one would by accident be drowned. Last evening upon returning home he found that the boy had disobey" ed Ilia order, and Was playing with other children near the river's edge. The father hastened to the spot, and somewhat excited, grasped the boy by the shoulder anddispite his cries, tied the end of a rope about his waist and soused him in the cold water. As he was drawing the boy up the rope was loosened, and the little fellow, still struggling to get the watt I from his mouth, fell back and sank. The excitcment of the father was now mo: earnest. He fairly yelled in agoney, and would have jumped into the river himself, had not bystanders anticipated his intentions and prevented. The boy came to the surface once and sank again, came up and was about to sink for the last time when a brave sailor jumped from the dock and caught him by the hair. "When the boy was taken out he was to all appearances lifeless, but the father clasped the inanimate form in his arms, hugged it close to his breast and kissed the wet lips over and over again, while the tears fairly flowed in streams down the man's cheeks, and his sobs could be heard by all. Carrying the boy, and bestowing endearing caresses as he went along to the nearest house, the little iellow was soon brought to his senses, and the delight of the parent knew no bounds. lie kissed and embraced the boy and theHsailor and the physician over and over again, and when the boy was able to walk, still carried him in his arms to his home, alternately crying and laughing, so great was his joy. The father received a lesson in the way of punishing his children that he will never forget, and the boy will no doubt mind the advice given him by those in authority.

DEATH IN THE WILDERNESS.

A Hunting Party Stricken Down by Diphtheria in the Woods—Only One Man Left Alive.

The Boston Post has the following from Bangor, Me.: The particulars of a shocking case of suffering and death are reported here by one of the survivors of a hunting and tishing party, consisting of live individuals (French Canadians), who were stricken down by disease and perished in their camp on the Canada side, not many miles from the American border. A party of live persons, of which he was one, set out with two horses and a pung, about Christmas, upon a hunting and fishing expedition in the wilderness near the American line. The party were well equipped with guns, traps, fishingtackle and provisions, intending to spend a month or two in that uninhabited region. Returning to camp one evening, one of the men complained of a sore throat. Not much was thought of it by the rest of the party till toward the middle of the night the man gave evidence of extreme suffering, his throat being swollen. He had been attacked by that most loathsome and fatal disease, diphtheria. Without medicine of any description, and nearly fifty miles from any human habitation, before night set in -the man was a corpse. Before the first victim expired, however, another of the party began to complain of the same difficulty, and on the second day died of strangulation, or from the filling up of the throat. The three survivors took the two bodies out of the camp, and covered them oyer with snow, for the purpose of preserving them till they could carry then: out of the forest. Determined to break up camp the next day and return with their dead comrades, they were doomed to disappointment, in consequence of two of the remaining three being prostrated by the same terrible agent. The last two survived about forty-eight hours, when they, in turn, were carried out by the only one remaining, to be buried in the snow. The sole survivor resolved to start for the abode of civilization with his freight of pulseless humanity. During the nigljt the deadly contagion fastened upon hiniself. In his own words, he "felt the monster at liis throat," and resigned himself as well as he could to his fate. He lay, as he thinks, some four or five days before he awoke to a consciousness of his fearful situation.' The mildness of the weather and a good supply of blankets and boughs saved ii im from "freezing, in the absence of a lire, which lie was too weak to kindle. As soon as he could crawl he went to the hovel, and, to his amazement and grief, found both of the horses dead. They had died of starvation. Returning to his camp, he thought he would take a look at his dead companions. Judge of his horror, when he found their bodies nearly eaten up by the wolves and other wild beasts that inhabit that wild and desolate region. Nothing now was left for him to do but to make his way, alone, out of tlie forest. With a pair of snow-shoes upon his feet, and as much provision as his weak and feeble frame could bear, lie started forth, and on the third day reached an Indian camp, where he rested till he was able to proceed on his journey. lie gave his name as Le Roix or Le Broix, and stated that he was born near the River de Loupe.

THE Arizonian reports the discovery of a rich silver mine at Florence, Arizona. The ledge has been traced on or near the surface for a distance of several miles.

TNE citizens of Macon, Mo., are to have a grand wolf hunt on the 5th of February.

SOME YEARS since a poor but talented gentleman of the medical profession conceived the idea that if he could produce a medicine of universal application and extraordinary merit, and make it known he could not only enrich himself and escape the drudgery of a Physicians life, but also benefit the sick-in a greater measure than by his private practice. He therefore consulted with the best Physicians he could find and the result was ihe production of the Judson's Mountain Herb Pills, a famous and most successful medicine. He began in a sni ill -way to make the Mountain Herb Pills known by advertising them and such was the value of his Pills, that in a few years lie had not only amassed a fortune, but had that rare satisfaction for a rich man, of having relieved the sick, and benefitted his fellow-men in every part of the country, as thousands of grateful testimonials could prove. The Judson's Mountain Herb Pills have curhd Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Female Irregularities, and all Bilious disorders. This little sketch serves both to adorn a tale and point a moral.— Dr. Judson's Pills were meritorious and the doctor himself knew the value of printer's ink, For sale b^ all (Jealers. f2dwlm
