Wo learn from the Romo Courier that
the Slato Quarry, near Van Wert, in Polk
county, Oa., has boen sold recently to a
company, for the snug sum of SBO,OOO.
Good Old Age.
The last LaGrnngo Reporter announces
the death, in Hoard county, on Saturday,
the IGth of January last, of Mrs. Prisoilla
llatcher, who had lived to the ripo old
ago of one hundred and seven years.
The Survey Commenced.
Mr. Robert Douglas, ougineer, com
menced tho survey of the LaGrango and
Columbus Rail Road, from this place, on
Monday last. This is certainly good evi
dence of the earnestness of tho friends of
the enterprise.— LaGrangs Reporter.
We learn from tho Rome (Ga.) Courier
that a dwelling belonging to Thomas J.
Terry, about 2§ miles from Rome, was
burned a little beforo noon on Saturday
last. There was a family living in tho
house. Loss about SBOO, no insurance.
Tho Southern Mercury says J. M.
Hearn, after forging tho names of divors
good citizens to sevorul promisory notes,
left Randolph county, Ala., last Monday
for parts unknown. Tho public will do
well to bo on the look out for this very
sharp gentleman.
A brick mason, named Webster lierry,
fell from tho top of tho chimney of
tho Alabama Manufacturing Company's
Works, at Selma, Ala., a distance of GO
feet, on Monday last, and received but
slight injury. Tho Reporter says -.ho
turned four somersets in the course of
the descent.
Tho stoamboat Comet sunk last Satur
day, 18 miles below Memphis, during a
tornado. John Pope, first clerk ; Job
Hill, passenger; John Clark, cook; Jos.
Howard; Samuel Hartman, third oook ;
and a little child, nnme unknown, were
known to be lost. Sevoral others sup
posed to be lost.
The Tußkegco Republican says somehow
or other the rumor has gone abroad that
the Collegium Institute at that plnco is
filled to overflowing and that no more
pupils can be admitted. This, tho Re
publican says is a mistake, and that not
withstanding the school is large, number
ing 120 pupils, the faculty is capuble of
doing justice to half as many more.
The Dalghren Gnus.
Tho English crack guns will carry a
thirty-two pound shot about five miles.—
One of the Dalghren guns was tried, not
long since, at Norfolk, and made to carry
a shot, of the same sizo, over sir miles. —
The fire from some of these guns is so
precise, that, at upwards of a mile, they
can hit a figuro the size of a man nineteon
times out of twenty.
Freshet tn the Ohio.
A dispatch from Louisvillo on Monday,
says: All the cellars on Wator street arc
full of water. On the western portion
thereof, it is from five to six feet deep on
the lower floors. Third street bridge is
five feet under water. Second street
bridge is just submerging.
The river is still rising, but slowly. It
is higher than it has been for five years.
Wo copied a few days ago, from one of
our exchanges, a statement announcing
that Mr. W. J. Owens, of this city, had
manumitted a number of slaves, and in
tended to send them to Liberia. We are
requested by Mr. Owens to state that the
slaves belong to the estate of I)r. F. J.
Walker, of Burko county, and that helms
simply attended, for (he executor of the
estate, to the correspondence necessarily
incident to the shipment of the negroes to
Li berin. —. 1 ugusla Constitutionalist.

We learn from the Southern Mercury
that Mias Lucy Ann Garrett, second
daughter of Mrs. John Reeves, of Ran
dolph county, Ala., was so severely burnt
last Monday, that she lived but about ten
hours after the nccidont. Bhe was alouo
in the kituheu attending to something
about dinner when her dress caught on
fire, and beforo assistance could be ren
dered her, she was so severely burnt us to
produce tho sad result above detailed.
She was about twclvo or thirteen years of
ago.
Alabama Hulling Mill.
The Elytou Alabamian states that Mr.
Montgomery, selected by tho North East
and South West Rail Road Company, to
examine the country and select a site for
a Rolling Mill to make tho iron for that
road, lius selected a place on five mile
creek near Elyton, where abundant water
power can bo lmd. The point selected is
on the lino of tho Central Rail Road, and
within five miles of the N. E. and S. W.
Road. There is abundance of lime rook,
coal and iron ore convenient to the site.
The object of tho company is to make
their own iron instead of importing it
from Europe, and thus expend the money
necessary to irou the road in building up
a great industrial interest in their midst.
Mr. ilsßston and the Franking Prlv.
liege.
Mr. Jetforson never franked letters for
any members of his family, and corres
pondents frequently enclosed in those di
rected to hiln, letters for some of his
family, but Mr. Jetfersou invariably gave
notice of tho l'aot to the Postmaster of
th s place, und had the postage of all such
letters charged to him. The example of
Mr. Jefferson is worthy of imitation by
all those who are entitled to the franking
privilege, nnd wo commend it to them as
a Jeffersonian principle, that would be
well to carry out to tho letter. In this
respect all ought to be strict and rigid
constructionists. Every editor in (he
Enion should make the above fact known
to his readers.— CharlottcsriUe ( Pa.) Jrjf'er

| The First Sheep, Cows and Turkeys
in Japan.
A correspondent of tho Philadelphia
Lodger, writing from on board the United
States steamer Powhatan, noticing tho
departure of that vessel from Nangasaki,
and the parting with the Japanese offi
cials, says;
After tho usual compliments had been
passed, tho officer told tho interpreter to
say to the Governor that the Powhatan
would return after the lapse of a few
months, and tbut ho should be most hap
py to undertako any commissions which
his Excellency might think of. His Ex
cellency replied to this offer of a national
courtesy as follows:
“I am much obliged to you for your
kind offer, and urn going to accept it with
thanks. Those bullocks which you
brought over from China nnd put in a pen
on the hillsido, are different from tho
bullocks of Japan, which wo do not con
sider good to eat, and should like to have
two cows and one bull of that breed, to
introduce the stock into my country.”
“We will bring them for you with plea
sure,” replied the Hag officer, “and there
is something else you must have also—
there is a very largo domestic bird, which
wo call the ‘turkey,’ the finest eating in
the world—we will bring you sevoral of
these also.”
“We shall be very glad, and if you will
give orders in China to send us over a
hundred sheep by tho first merchant ship
coming to Nangasaki, tho Japanese Gov
ernment will pay all the expenses, and bo
very thankful.”
“I will do so with pleasuro,” was tho
reply, and wc shortly after took our leave,
more after the manner of old friends than
an official representative of our respective
countries. I mention all this to show to
the future historians how it was that
sheep, cows and turkeys were first intro
duced into Japan.
Unitod States and Paraguay—Tho Bra
zil Meditation.
Tho Washington correcpondcnt of the
N. Y. Herald, writing on the 18th, says:
“The rumor by tho Prince Albert, re
ceived hero to-day, that Brazil had offered
to act as meditator between the United
States and Paraguay, and that tho offer
has been accepted by tho American naval
commander, is regarded by tho govern
ment as wholly destitute of truth, and,
indeed, an impossibility, as neither tho
American Naval commander nor the Com
missioner, Judge Bowlin, had any author
ity to accept such oft'or. Tho Commis
sioner is instructed to repair to Paraguay
in person, and if ho finds negotiations
useless, and all effort to accommodate
matters fail, then to direct the Naval
commander to act. Our government has
received no intelligence from the expedi
tion.”
The Kail Hoad lu Hamilton.
Messrs. G. W. Mullines and J. F. Mose
ley, of Hamilton, paid us a visit on yes
terday; and they give the most encoura
ging accounts of th e feeling manifested in
Harris in behalf of the proposed Road
from here to Hamilton. We are happy
to learn that the utmost feeling of una
nimity exist among our Harris county
friends on the subject. They are certainly
more interested in ’the enterprise than
any body else; and we feel safe in assu
ringjhem they will not find tho people of
Troup devoid of interest in the matter.
If Harris will do her duty, Troup will not
be a whit behind.
We hope that our friends in Hamilton
will, to-day, give such an earnest of what
they Kill do for the enterprise as to place
tho success of the Road beyond the shad
ow of a doubt. Next Tuesday we hope
the people of Troup will give the project
the right sort of encouregcment and put
it through at once. The enterprise ad
dresses itself to the interest of La Grange
in a commercial point of view, and to the
capitalists as a safe investment of their
surplus money.
Let the people move in the matter and
tho enterprise is accomplished.— La G.
Reporter.
Flood In (lie MUslsxlppl.
Tho St. Louis Democrat, of Saturday,
speaking of the rise in the river at that
place, says:
At 1 o’clock this morning the wator
bad got into all the houses on tho wharf.
The foot of Second street was overflowed,
so as to cut off communication by land
with the bridge, Massing along Fourth
street, we heard the water running into
the cellar of J. 11. Schroeder & Son. The
water had also reached Ponton & Gloro’s
cellar on Fourth street from the alley,
and only lacked an inch or two of getting
into Sherley, Bell k Co.’s nnd Newcomb
& Co.’s cellar, on tho same alley. On
Fourth street, the water was on the first
floor of Spott’s cigar s'ore, and an inch
more would bring it on tho floor of the
City Hotel.
The Forgeries at Hartford.
Dr. Brockctt, charged with forgery at
Hartford, Conn., has been committed in
default ot $5,000 bail. Ilis forgeries
amount to from SIO,OOO to $20,000, on
various banks and individuals. Tho
Hartford Journal says:
Dr. lirockett was a man highly rtspect
ed in this community for his supposed
piety, his talents as a writer for various
periodicals, including the press of this
city, to which he was a regular contribu
tor. The community will feel the great
est sympathy for bis family, particularly
for his father, a worthy clergymau in
Wethersfield, now in his 71st year.
Till! Right of Dunning.
Tho New York Sun reports tho follow
ing decision in a case of some interest and
novelty :
In the case of a complaint made on
Wednesday, before Justice Welsh, against
a lad employed by Depierris & l’ettus,
tailors, under tho St. Nicholas Hotel, for
persistently dunning Morgan L. Living
ston, jr., who owed that firm an unpaid
bill of S4OO, it was decided that a credit
or has no right to dun a debtor beyond a
single demand for the money; that after
wards tho creditor must resort to the
usual logal proceedings, and relieve the
debtor from untimely personal appeals.
Kepti'llntlng a City Debt.
A large gathering of the peoplo of
| Pittsburg, Pa., was held on tho Kith in
stant, at which resolutions were adopted
repudiating the outstanding bonds issued
by the municipal authority of tho city to
pay certain rail road subscriptions. It
is alleged that these subscriptions were
obtniued by false and fraudulent repro
; sentalions nnd by corrupt means, without
the consent, expressed or implied, of a
majority of tho people. Those measures
appear to be in resistance to a decision of |
the Supreme Court of the State.
1 Abolitionists Overtmuled Under
ground Rail Road Slojijwsl.
An extra from the Western (Mo.) Ar
gus, of tho 2Cth ult., informs us of tho
recovery of thirteen slaves in Kansas, at
the time in charge of conductors appoint
ed by tho Abolitionists. According to
tho aooount. which is verified by a letter
from one of tho most respeotable gentle
men in Platte, that several valuable slaves
escaped from Platte county a few days
previous. They wore pursued, and tho
party found that they had crossed the
Missouri river into Kansas, in oliarge of
three white conductors. The party fol
lowed them to Lawrence, oxpocting that
tho slaves would attempt to escape
through Nebraska into lowa. During tho
night it was ascertained that leading Abo
litionists had determined to collect the
slaves together and start them, twelve or
thirteen in number, in two or three wag
ons, for Holton, thenoo on the Lake route
to lowa. The party in pursuit being ad
vised of this, got ahead of tho runaways,
and lay in wait for them. When the ne
groes and tlieir rascally conductors reach
ed the spot where they were, instant and
unconditional surrender was demanded.
As they were taken by surprise this was
done, and the course of tho negroes was
immediately changed to Weston, They
made the Rialto landing before the news
got abroad, and all the slaves were safely
lodged in jail.
Great excitement followed, but fortu
nately no violence. Dr. Doyle and his
Bon Charles, and a man named Clough,
were the conductors in this railraad un
dertaking. They were taken beforo Jus
tices Coleman and Heriot, and in default
of bail in the sum of $5,000, were com
mitted to jail. Many persons were for
hanging them at once, but wiser counsels
prevailed, and they were sent to jail.—
Dr. Doyle conducted his own case, and
said that he and his son were only hired
to conduct the slaves to Holton, and that
they had boen told that the negroes were
free. The negroes, after their capturo,
were to bo taken to Platte City, if not
previously rescued by the Abolitionists.
A few years apprenticeship in the peni
tentiary will probably convince Dr. Doyle
and his son Charley that stealing or run
ning off negroes on the underground rail
road is not after all so very nice. Tho
negroes are owned by persons residing in
Jackson, Clay and Platte counties.— St.
Louis Republican.
Congressional.
Washington, Feb. 23.—1n the Senate
to-day the legislative and executive bill
ngaiu came up for consideration.
Mr. Slidell gave notice that ho would
call up the Cuba bill for re-consideration
on Monday.
The House was engaged on tho post
office bill.
Horse Stealing.
Two men, pretending to be Virginians,
and passing under tbe name of Jones,
were arrested in this county a few days
since, by a party of men from South Car
olina, for horse stealing. They were car
ried back to South Carolina, where the
theft is said to have been committed.—
They had in their possession, at the time
of the arrest, a horse and a mule, that
were claimed by one of the party that ar
rested them.— Sandersvtlle Georgian.
Miss Judaon Goes to Indiana and
Gets a Divorce,
Miss Judson, the heroine of the Anglo-
Afrioan elopement which caused so much
commotion about six weeks since, arrived
in town yesterday on her way homeward,
having been to Indiana, in company with
her brother, and advertised Joe for a
divorce. Joe hadn’t any money to take
him there to plead his own cause, and,
time being up, he was repudiated, and
his bride made a free woman. She was
just in the nick of time, as the statutes
were immediately afterwards amended so
as to cut off all such operations in future.
Indiana is no longer the haven of domes

CHARLES’
LONDON CORDIAL GIN.
TUB ORIGINAL AND
ONLY LONDON GIN IMPORTED.
Thin Giu, distilled in London from sound Bar
toy, under tho surveillance) of the British Ex
cise Laws, is delicately flavored with a tinc
ture of the Italian Juniper Berry, and some of
the most valuable restoratives of the Vegetable
Kingdom, rendering it, in the opinion of tho
most eminent medical men, tho purest and safest
stimulant or diuretic drink in use.
It is a delicious tonic, of a soft and delicate fla
vor, differing entirely from any other Gin, and
devoid of that harsh, acrid taste, which renders
the article known as Holland Gin or Schnapps so
objectionable.
Though not intended as a medicine, it is recom
mended by physicians generally in oases of Dvs
rarsiA, Gout, Rheumatism, Dropsy, Gravel, Colic,
Cholera, Fever aud Ague, Stricture, Diseases of
the Urinary Organs, the Kidneys and tho Bow
els, Nervous Debility, Ac., whilst tho weaker sex
will find by its adoption a sure relief from those
distressing annoyances which frequently attend
their delicato organization.
Dr. Valentine Mott, of New York, tho highost
medical authority, pronounces Charles’ London
Cordial Gin “not only superior to any other, but
the best article of the kiud he has ever seen.”
It is peculiarly adapted to settlers in the South
ern aud Western States, as well as for travellers
exposed to changes of water and air.
For sale in quarts at seventy-ttvo cents, and
