ANOTHER LIFE.—-But a few days since a father was killed by his son in one of the townships of this county. And now we have to record the death of a half brother by the hands of another, a few miles from this place.
On Wednesday last two half brothers, Dr. Gordon of Park county, and Mr. Livingston of Kentucky, were passengers on a canal packet from Montezuma, or the neighborhood, to this place. During the passage these men were in constant altercation, amounting to nearly a quarrel, in reference to a female on board the boat. Immediately on reaching this place Livingston procured a vehicle and started with the girl down the prairie. They were immediately followed by Dr. Gordon, accompanied by the Capt. of the boat. Four miles below town Livingston and the girl were overtaken at the House of Mr. Pucket, where they had put up for the night. Quarreling immediately ensued in the chamber where the parties had retired. Gordon, with a pistol in hand, threatened vengence [sic] if the girl was not given up. In the aflray Livingston inflicted a wound on Gordon with a sword cane, which though not supposed fatal at first, occasioned his death in a few minutes.
In the course of the night Livingston returned to this place, and surrendered himself to the authorities—and after a hearing was discharged. ~~~~~~~
THE TRAGEDY.—The body of Dr. Gordon, whose death was occasioned by the hands of his brother, as related above, was brought to this place, on the following night after the affray. The wife of the deceased had been sent for and reached town about the same time yesterday morning. As the widow was weeping over her deceased husband, there was some applause three squares distant, at the Magistrate's Office, on the discharge of Livingston, who had been under ex nminotion for taking the life of a half brothor. Such scenes of weeping and applauding constitute a problem in morals and ethics, which we are not in the mood at present of attempting to solve.
The verdict of the Coroner's jury, was that Gordon came to his death by the hands of Livingston. ~~~~~~~
THOMAS MEWHINNEY.—Thomas Mewhinney of lost creek [sic], who was some two weeks since severely stabbed by his son, has since died of his wounds. John, the son who committed the deed and immediately fled to the State of Illinois, has been persued [sic] and taken—brought back and lodged in the Gaol of this place.— This was a horrid affair, growing out of a miserable quarrel of the parties when under the influence of Liquor. ~~~~~~~
BARNOM'S MANAGERIE.—This extensive establishment, agreeably to public notice, appeared in our town on Monday last—giving exhibitions forenoon, afternoon and evening. We think Tom Thumb Mr. Nellis the man born without arms, and tho seven elephants, to say nothing of the balance, wcro alone worth the money charged for exhibition.

Capt. John Cain, of Indianapolis, former landlord of the Capitol House, has been appointed mail agent on the route from Madison to Terre Haute.
DAGOKRRROTvrBs.—The Laborer is worthy of his hire, says N. B. Duff in his Advertisement in another column. Mr. Duff has removod to the 3J story of Farrington's block, where he hns handsomely furrtislicd rooms, and where the best likenesses will be produced at low priccs and short notice.
GIGANTIC SCHEME.—The connection between New York and Liverpool by railroad to the extreme North-eastern point of Nova Scotia—thence by steam to Galway, being only 2,000 miles of ocean navigation—and thence by railroad to Dublin,and across the channcl to Liverpool, it is said, is not unlikely to be accomplished. The <New York Mirror> states that some of the shrewdest capitalists of Wall street have taken hold of the matter in earnest at this end of the route, and are pushing the work vigorously forward to completion, while two of the heaviest London houses have already contracted for the building of steamers to form the main part of this connection. The road across Ireland, it is said, will probably be finished within the year. ~~~~~~~
The Hon. Jiroas GLSKX, of the United States District Court of .Maryland died a few days since at Baltimore. It is only a few months since he SUCCEEDED Judge HEATH, deceased, in U»« oCSce which lie held.

TIIE STAR THAT NEVER SETS.
Having published a summary of. the Resolutions adopted ly the State Democratic Convention of Vermont, we feel both pleasure and pride in submitting a series of important principles promulgated in the Whig Convention of the same republican State, his far from the first time that such national and patriotic declarations have emanated from that source, but we are gratified at their calm reproduction now, and we confidently invite our readers, of all parties, to compare the principles and policy avowed in this meeting, with those enunciated by the Democrats, as contained in our yesterday's synopsis. We trust that the time is far off whsn tiny assemblage of Whigs can be brought to concur in any code of public morals at all in opposition to that succintly embodied in the first of the appended declarations or, if not to concur in it, toconnive at its publication under Whig sanction, and thus indirectly even to encourage the establishment of a doctrine which would lead to the destruction of our public faith and national respectability, and to acts which differ from palpable crime just as Alexander differed from the robber brought before him—the one took countries by wholesale without a shadow of right the other took a purse in violation of law. Let us obey the injunction of the second clause of that resolution, and we trust and believe that a practical advocacy of its first clause will seldom be required in our future history Resolutions of the Whis State Convention of Vermont.
Resolved, That the Representatives of tho Whigs of Vermont deem this a fit occasion to declare anew their steady attochmeni to the great and essential principles heretofore avowed by thein and to the policy which, through good report and through evil report, they have ever maintained.
Resolved, That among these they recognize more especially the following: 1. The maintenance of the peace and honor of the country, by its being ever prepared to defend its own notional rights, ond by its scrupulously avoiding to tresspass upon the rights and possessions of others
2.
The steodydevelopment of the
nat
its Government, of the productions of its' own soil, and of the industry and skill of its own people in preference to those of other nations. 3. An administration of tho public domain, which, admitting the right of every Stute to participate equitably in the pro ceeds of the public lands, shall cncouroge their early occupation by favorable terms to actual settlers, and fair grants for internal improvements of a general and beneficial character. 4. An administration of the finances of)
of the United States) which shall bo strictly limited by law and economical in its character. 5. A greater restriction of the Executive power and pntronago of the United States, which now, from its vast and yet increasing extent, bids fair to overshudow every other branch of tho Government, to the great detriment of the gen
aro expected now as ever to go shoulder,
to shoulder in all honorable efforts to secure the election of their candidates and thus to give greater force to the characteristic principles of the Whig party in this State and throughout the Union.
Resolved, That the Whigs of Vermont will givo a hearty support to the nomination of Hon. Krastus Fairbanks, for Governor, Hon. Wm. C. Kittredge. for Lieutenant Governor, and lion. Geo. Hews, for Treasurer.
The Whig Party.
Hon. JOHN BELL, of Tennessee, is one of the soundest and ablest men in tho Union. In a recent speech made by him he expressed himself as follows about the Whig party of the nation
tho late election—as to the enquiry whether it could ever be successfully re-organized upon such truly national nnd oithcdox principles as would insure its future ascendancy—he had no hesitation in giving an affirmative answer.

Mississippi and Atlantic Railroad. We learn from a reliable source, that the work of grading this road will soon be commenced, and will be prosecuted with vigor. The right of way has been secured for the whole distance, from Terre Haute to the Mississippi. The chief obstacle, for some time past has been in securing the right of way from the Bluffs to the Mississippi, but this difficulty has been entirely removed by agreement among the parties interested. The contracts have been let in four divisions principally to eastern men, with a stipulation that the graduation shall be completed in sixteen months, and the work will be stocked and running in two months thereafter.—<Mo. Rep>.
COL. ARCHER, of this place, was informed by Mr. BROUGH, a few days since, at Terre Haute, that the work would be commenced in a few weeks— three or four at furthest. The hands have been advertised for in the East, and a large number secured. "There is no use in talking;" actions, in future, will speak for themselves.—<Marshall Telegraph>.
We learn from several sources that operators will commence on the several sections of this route in a short time. When once commenced it is believed the work will be carried on with quick dispatch. ~~~~~~~
CLEVELAND, NEW YORK, AND CINCINNATI.—On yesterday morning, tne trains on the Indianapolis and Bcllcfontaine Railroad commenced running from this city as follows At 5 o'clock, A. M.. and 11£ A. M. Passengers leaving Indianapolis in the 5 o'clock train, will arrive at Cleveland at fifteen minutes past 7 o'clock, P. M.

This route is via Union, Bellefontaine, and Gallion. Passengers to Cincinnati, by taking the 11^ o'clock train, via Greenville and Dayton, will arrive at that city in time for supper.—Stale Sentinel.
RAILWAY CASUALTIES.
The constant peports [sic] of accidents, resulting in loss of limbs and death, upon our railroads, is strong evidence that there is something wrong in the manner in which our system of railroads is managed; there is some radical defect somewhere and the subject should be sifted until a remedy can be had—even a partial one, if a complete one can not be found.

"Here are certainly some very startling disproportions. In every instance,
in regard to passengers, employees, and other persons, the number killed and injured by our New York railroads.is very much greater than in England. The number of passengers killed in proportion to the whole number who traveled, is very nearly ten times as great—the number of employees killed over <six>

ANOTHER RICH CARGO OF COPPER.— The Propeller Globe, which arrived at this port yesterday from the coppcr regions, brought down a cargo of two hundred and eight tons of mass copper, 127 tons of which were left at the Detroit Copper Smelting Works. Some of the masses weighed four thousand pounds of pure copper, that would yield one hundred per cent, and the whole cargo would average more than 75 per cent. The weekly value of the copper now coming down from the "California of Michigan."' is not less than one hundred

UXIOJf VILLAGE SHAKERS
The Dayton Ghfeette has a very interesting article giving the history, manners, sentiments. &c.? of the singular sect called Shakers. The following sketch of their flourishing settlement in Warren couniy, will be read with much interest:
The Society at Union Villiage, Wnrren couniy, Ohio, is worthy of particular note. It is one of the largest Sharker Societies in the world. It was founded in the year 1805. It now numbers near 600 persons and owns upwards of 4000 acres of laud, in one body. Tbe soil is remarkably fertile, and the surface and scenery beautifully diversified,and the locality remaikably healthy. The Society here is divided into four different
4,families."
located in differ
ent parts of their domain. The largest family numbers near 200 persons, and is called the Centre, it being the residence of their Elder and Eldress, and where their church is located. The "dwelling," as it is called, where this family eats and sleeps, is an immense brick structure, four stories high it fronts 88 feet, and is 108 feet deep: it is divided into dining, sleeping, and kitchen rooms. In .the large cellar underneath is kepi the milk, and. the butter and cheese apparatus. Their butter is churned and cheese made by horse power their bread is also kneaded in ihe some way. Their bread is certainly the best we ever lasted. In fact, the dinner they generously prepared for our party, was one of the most palatable we ever enjoyed. ,-Tlie fine fruit and other seasonable delicacies, with which our table was loaded, were such as princes might feed upon and be glad.—They live upon plenty of the very best ofevrything that is good and healthy. They cultivate none but the best of fruits of which they sell large quantities.
They have the finest stock we ever saw. Their cattle are altogether incomparable. Some of their cows give doily, from six to eight gallons ofihe richest milk. Sur-h cows they readily sell at from Si50 to 8200. Calves, from two io four months old they sell from $60 to $100. They have an animal thai weighs nearly 3,000 pounds. They have a medical garden of about twelve acres, in which they cultivate all the medical plants and herbs of this climate, which they gather and remove to the chemical and medical labratory, where they are dried and prepared in the form of extracts, powders, &c., ready for market. These medicines are the purest and best of the kind that can be had. The celebrated •'Shaker Sarsapprilla" is maufacinred here iftid uffords the principal scource of their revenue. Their mechanical shops ure kept in the neatest order and their work is done in the most systematic style.
They excel in the manufacture of corpets, woodware, leather, blankets and various kinds of trinkets and fancy articles. We were shown some silk handkerchiefs which were made by mem from silk of their own production, which were quite equal to the European silks.
Their seed giireden is also note-worthy They annually put up and sell about 1, 400 boxes of garden seed, each box containing 200 packogcs of seeds.
They have now in their domain bout 3000 head of sheep. 500 cattle, 100 horses, countless numbers of poultry, and no hogs or dugs, the former being to them unclean, and the latter useless yclpcrs. All their buildings, shops, ablcs, &c., &c., are buili of the best materials and in fact every thing about them is donejust as it should be done.— A visit to their villiage will well repay a long ride. They are exceedingly hospitable and affable, and those who visit them will never regret the time or trouble.
The Fatal Ilot Days of June. "The life of one peasant," said John Mitchcl, the Irish patriot, is worth the life of one peer." A contemporary, in an article upon this year's appalling list of deaths by sun stroke, parodies this remark thus The life of one hodcarrier is worth the life of one millionaire." It seems that more than forty persons have fallen victims, this sum* mcr, in this city, to the excessive heat, most of whom perished on the 20th. 21st. 22J and 23d of June, the first four hoi days of the season. A similar mortality, we have observed, occurs every year about the same time and after lhat fatal period has passed, we hear little more of sun stroke during the rest of the summer. Capricious ond changeable as our climate may seem, there are certain curious regularities of weather: here which the weathcrwise frequently remark upon. For example, it is not a joke merely, but a fact, that the week of the Quaker meeting is always a rainy one. The January thaw may be relied upon with tolerable certainty. The month of June generally comes in cold, and soon after, we hove these four or five fatal days, when laborers drop dead in the street, we may almost say by dozens. ,Now, here is a regularly recurring danger, which, it seems to us, ought to be regularly and specially provided against. It is undeniable, that if, on the days above mentioned, out-of-door work upon buildings and in cellars had been discontinued from ten in the morning till four in the afternoon, most of the persons who then died of sun-stroke would be at this moment alive and well We speak merely of those four particularly dangerous days The mischief has now been done forty families are desolate forty persons have been hurried to eternity but wilt nut builders and contractors remember these things next June, and prevent, by timely measures, this dreadful, wholesale sun-slaughter Home Journal

Chinese Religious Belief. There are several religious sects among the Chinese, but the principal elements of belief are similar. They believe in three great existences—uvo of them original, and ..without beginning or end, and the third the product of the other two. Ofihe iwo first existences, one is spiritual, the other material the three together are heaven, earth and man. Heaven is spiritual earth material, but everlasting and man the product of both, and partaking of the nature of both. The figures and graven images io which the Chinese pay revcrence (uncouth as they are) do not represent gods, but good men who have eminently benefited their race during their stay on earth. They suppose that these men are in heaven, enjoying a spiritual and carnal immortality but that ihe spiritual part possesses the power of being here on earth, and of being cognizant of all thai passes amongst the living.
The river Amazon is likely to be tfpen ed to steam navigation much sooner than was expected—and if it is fretly opened, it will be the great event of the day.
Gen. Echenlqu'fi, tiie President of Peru, has already taked steps, on behalf of that Government, to put upon the Amazon two iron steamers, each to cost about $100,000, whose business is to be the exploration of the river and its branches. All nations are to enjoy the benefit of the trade and commerce.
The Emperor of Brazil, we are gratified to learn, so far from resisting this Peruvian movement, is co-operating with it. He has conceded a National Company the right of navigation, wiih certain privileges, in conjunction wiih Peru. The company was to commence its work in May last—and although we have no definite information that it has really begun, yet there seems to be no doubt that it was intended to go into operation either in June or July.—N.Y.

ACCIDENT IN LOWELL.—On Saturday last, bs one of the female weavers in the Elliott Mill, Lowell, was combing her hair in the weaving room, it accidentally caught around the shaft, drawing her up by her hair between the shaft and the ceiling, and jamming her head against the ceiling. The scalp was torn nearly off. Her thumbs, which were twined in: her hair, were also torn off, from the great force with which she was drawn up. The force with which her head struck the ceiling was so great as to throw oft the belt, thereby preventing her head from being ground to powder She was released from her dreadful situation and the scalp was replaced. After some, hours of unconsciousness she regained! her senses, and bids fair to recover.
SPEED OF AMERICAN OCEAN STEAMERS.— The extraordinary speed of the Collins line of steamers is shown in the fact stated in the annexed paragraph from the <N. Y. Herald> of the 10th:
It is a remarkable fact in illustration of the speed of the Collins line of steamers, that the last trip of the Pacific to Liverpool, merchants in that city received replies from the correspondent in New York in the unprecedentedly short space of twenty days. The Atlantic, which arrived in this port on the morning of the 14th of May, made the trip in 9 days and 22 hours, and some of the commercial advices which she brought were answered by the mercantile houses here in time for the Pacific's mails, which left at noon of the same day, and which made the trip to Liverpool in 9 days and 23 hours.— These two passages, hitherward and back, having only consumed together 19 days and 21 hours, merchants in Liverpool were, as we have said, enabled to receive replies to their New York correspondence in twenty days. We believe an instance of the kind has never occurred in the past history of transatlantic steamships. It therefore deserves to be placed on record. ~~~~~~~

The country is evidently noi in danger, and the Cabinet, we trust, will therefore have a good timo of it.—N. Y. Herald. ::sM-si dv\
AN EXTEAORDINARY RUMOR.—A letter from Berne, of the 28th, in tho New Zurich Gazette, says, In the last sit~ ting of the Grand Council, the President communicated a letter from a shoemaker ofthe Valley of Aoste, who states that ho had heard that an English nobleman, having been condemned to death at Berne, had deposijed a sum of ten millions of francs to make a lottery of 100 lots, of which 99 should gain 100, 000 francs each, and or.e should be a blank that the holder of this latter lot should be obliged to take the place of the noble lord, and have his head cut off, on receipt of a sum of 200,000 francs, and that h6, (the writer) being a poor man, was willing to take part in the lottery, and to die in place of the English man. should chance declare ogoinst him. The President added that, as the rumor mentioned in the letter was very generally propagated, he thought tbe best means of giving it formal contradiction was to speak of it thus openly in tho Grand Council."

POINT OF ROCKS, Frederick Co.. Md. I Jtm® 9th, 1852, Dr. Swavne-Dear Sir: Believing it a duty I owe to the public, and in justice to you, I Iteva thought proper to make known one of tbe most extraordinary cures in my own caso, that has ever been trulv recorded. In the month of October last, I was afflicted with a severe gathering in my breast, which formed a large abscess, and almost communicated to my lungs, and very much afflicted them, and discharged large quantities of corruption, extertai and internal. My breath could also pass through my lungs and out through the cavity of my breast wiih apparent enaa. attended with a violent cough, day and night, losa appetite, and extreme debility, so that my physician thought my case entirely hopeless, ana beyond the power of medicine. I remained in this wretched condition for a lone time, until I was wasted to aftnere skeleton, and there seemed to be no hope for me but having read in the publicpapers of the many wonderfu leurea performed by your lOMPOUND SYRUP OF" WILD CHERRY, 1 immediately sent to Baltimore for five bottles, and commenced ita use, and to my great satisfaction and the joy of my anxious family, tbe abscess or opening in my lungs began to heal, and the cough to subside, and on u?ing ten bottles, I was restored to perfect health. 1 feel very grateful, and firmly believe that toj/our valuable medicine, under the Blessing of Divine Providence, I am in* debted for this great change, and am happy tossy that 1 am now enjoying as good health as I ever have. "?*•?K
I very respectfully^». vVui Tnoaus Dixcw. The subsaribar is well acquainted with Thomas Dixon, and enn testify that he has been afflicted as above representee!, I regard his recovery as almost a miracle. He is a
