often retains a majority in the House off ’ minions in

sshen has any supporter of the Administration re.
a good his lierause the popular sentiment was in oj .

How is this now lobe accomplished f Mv own

it is by limiting the Piv i 'ential term to a single term

With whaJ reluctance lie yielde i to the public wish
that he would permit his re-election lor a second

He was told that the Government was then in its in

That the federal system was an experiment, mi the

The IIorse.—The following suggestion is from
tin? Boston Cultivator:
There is a very prevalent idea, tliut it is injurious
to give grain to the animal when he is xvarni. Now,
xve have never knoxvn any injury to arise from this
practice. There is no more danger of injury to the
liorse than to ourselves by eating a hearty meal
xvlicn xvarm. And xvlm ever heard of a man killing
himself xvith u hearty dinner, because ho ate it xvlicn
he was fatigued or heated ?
It is hard driving—violent exercise—after eating
hearty food, that causes pain and often death.
Let a man hut reflect on what lias proved inju
rious to himself, and he xvill rationally conclude
what treatment is most likely’ to injure his beast.
Let him eat a hearty meal, then run. or use any vi-
olent exercise immediately after, and lie xvill he at
no loss in conjecturing xvliat must be tho danger of
furiously driving a beast after a hearty dinner.
It is hard driving immediately after eating grain,
tliatkillsthelior.se; and we venture to assi rt, that
gut an instance can b<* shown in xvliieh lie lias stis.
tninod injury from eating grain, merely because he
xvas warm. People should reflect and reason more
oil this subject.
Horses that travel and labor violently, as in sta
ges and fast chaises, should eat tlieir grain at night.
Wlu’ii laboring moderately on u farm it is not so
material when their heartiest food is given, for hor
ses nr** not liable to be injure*! in any gear, xv lien they
arc; only driven on the w alk.
But xxe have knoxvn many men prudent in most
matters, yet guilty of stuffing tlieir horses xx itli grain
in the morning, just before starting on a journey !
They give no grain on tin? night before, reser
ving for tlio starting hour the heartiest feed for the
beast!

hy Peak t*) gaii) the assent of h**r parents to tlieir
union, but all proved uimirri ssfuj. Tne grant an*|
overpowering ohj.ction on behalf of Mr, \\\».,d,
wus the want of moral charactt?r in the person xxli •
proposed t** become the guardian of th** future Imp.
pines.! of his only daughter. Peak from time to
tim** persisted in his ctlbrts to gain admission to th*-
lady, xx itli like ill success. Flu* futlier*-.orders were
imperative. At length, watching th" time when
Mr. \\ ood stepped out, he .-viz* d the opportunity
*)! •‘titeiiiig the store and conversing with tin* lady.
Frequent interviews of this nature ripened their
fondness into uticetion, und ub mt tin* fifteenth of last
month, they were clandestinely munied.
On Friday night last, she quitted her parental roof
and remained absent all night. On her return in
tie- morning an explanation took place, in which
she was (breed to declare herself a wifi*. From
tint moment her futlier was a muniuc. He saw
the daughter whom his affections had so long
cherished, united to ti common gambler. It wus
too much for frail nature.—The instant the condi.
tion of Mr. Wood was discovered, the lum.se xvas
closed, und so remain* *1 all day, on Friday, Ssturdax,
and y "sterduy, the doors hung xvith crape., denoting
som-.* dreadful calamity. Yesterday morning,
Peak si-nt a mcys"ug"i* demanding his wife. The
deep, dark und damning injury had deprived Wood
of his souses ; the insult restored him to partial
reason.
From a condition of phrcntic. fury ho became
suddenly calm. He desired the messenger to say
t** Mr. Peak tlmt Iio should have hi.* wile at 10
o'clock, and directed her to prepare herself. Lea
ving th** house, he repair* *1 to Tryon’s gun store,
xvlierc I:*? purchased and charged txvo pair of pis
tols.
II*? then returned home, entered tin* apartment of
his daughter, where he waited until the approach of
ten (/clock, at which hour, immediately after em
bracing her xvith tours. In* placed on*, of the pistols
t*> ln*r In-ad and blew out her brains. The hull en
tered her forehead over her left eye. and came out
at tin top of tin* head. A sound so unusual drew a
crowd instantly, and among tin* first, entered Slier,
iff Filin*. He found the i«ii >ti.* lather fondling on
the eorp*e of his child, whilst a little* hoy stood by,
Clinging to his father, declaring, that ’* lie (his fath
er) did not mean t*» do it.” Mrs. \S ood had swoon
ed at tfie fearful sight. On the entrance of tin*
Sheri If, Wood raised himself at tli- head of th«!
corpse, with n pistol in his hand and said “I shot
her! 1 shot Iut! I am the man! I am the man!!”
Sheritf Fitier placed him instantly in the custody of
two of Ii is officers, who conducted him to an adjoin-
ing room xvlierc he laid down on u bed and ocen-
siotmlly asked if "she were dead-” stating that if
she vx** re, she wus happy, and adding “xvlicn they
hang m** 1 xx ish to he buried in tin* same grave xx itli
my daughter.
He xvas conveyed before tlio Mayor and subse
quently to Moynntensing. Mi *. Wood Ims sine*?
relapse*! from one convulsion into another until
doubts are entertained of her recovery. W** Imv*
but one xvord of comment. The lady xvas lovely
beyond description, and the idol of her father.
Il** found her married to n wretch w hom lie had
long spurned for his vices, and this discovery de
prive*! hiui of reason. In this state he committed
murder. The mother is sinking into the grav*—the
father in prison—the daughter a corpse.

Robert Lincoln, Esq., agent of the Nexv-York Wes.

Peters’ river on the upper Mississippi, bringing
xvith him eia New Orleans, a veritable wild man of
the woods and txvo rubs (quere children ?) u partial
description of xvhicli x\e give below. It scorns that
this saragr had been soon by Mr. Lincoln’s assis
tants while out hunting. 'Pile n**\t day, in compa
ny with a number of Indians, In.* went in pursuit,
found him, and finally drove him int*) an <*p* u prai

pursuers, xvlicn Mr. L., b« ing foremost, discharged
Ins g.m loaded with h icksh *t at his l*?gs, and hr*-’t
him down, though without dangerously wounding
him. It appears that ho is about eight feet three
inch* s high xvlicn standing erect, and his frame is
of giant proportions in every part. His legs arc
not straight, but like those of any other four-foot* *1
animal, and his whole body is covered xvith a hid*:
very much Iik** that of a eoxv. 11 is arms are very
large and long and ill-proportioned, h does not ap
pear from his manner that lie ever xvulked on “a.l
(burs.” The fingers und toes are mere brunch' s
armed xvith stout daws : his head is covered with
thick, coarse bin* k Imir, like the main- of a horse.
The appearance of his countenance, if such it may
lie called, is very disgusting, nay, almost horrible ;
it is covered xvith a thinner und lighter coat of hair
than tin- rest of the body ; there is no appearance
of eyebrow’s or nose ; th** id-tilth is very large und
xviile, similar to that of tin* baboon ; his eyes ur«-
quit** dull and heavy, im-1 th* re i< no indication of
cunning or activity about th* m. Mr. Lincoln
says lu* is beyond doubt carnivorous, as lio univer
sally rejects bread un i vegetables, und eats II -d
