they will have better luck than those who
killed at this time last year. It the

The method of tho Magistrates who
conducted the Investigation of the Lyon-

which Mr.Creushaw, the Reporter for the
Court, performed his arduous duties, are
worthy of notice and commendation. The
Court was composed entirely of young
men—not ‘‘learned in the law,” it la true,
but who, throughout the whole trial, ex
hibited the soundest judgment and most
patient attention.
Their decisions, upon the many delicate
questions submitted lor their considera

the rendition of their judgment, involving
* much, reflected credit upon Justice

The Trip from CrmwfVrd to Seale.
As wo announced in yesterday's issue,
Mrs. Lyon, charged with the murder of
her husband in Russell county, Ala., was
committed to jail without the benoilt of
ball.
The decision of tho Magistrates was
rendered Thursday morning at 4 o’clock,
About 9 o’clock the same morning prepa
rations were made to convey Mrs. Lyon
to the jail situated at Seale, Ala. She
preferred to go in her carriage: so It was
agreed by the officers that she should go
that way. Her carriage was brought to
tho door, and in It she was seated—she
upon the back seat, her mother beside her
and her little daughter In front. Mr. Da
vie, her fat her, drove the carriage. On
each side of the carriage was a couple of
the guard; while In the rear of the car
riage Melnlka walked, handcuffed, and
guarded by two bailiffs. In this wise the
cortogo moved from Crawford to Seale,
fourteen miles distant.
ARRIVAL AT BEALE.
When tho prisoners arrived at Seale it
was late In tho evening. Quite a crowd
had gathorod to see them, and especially
to catch a glimpse of Mrs. Lyon, charged
with the murder of her husband. The cu
riosity of the crowd was .not long grati
fied. The Jail was reached and the prison
ers placed In their quarters. Melnlka
takes his chances with tho other prisoners
conllned there. Mrs. Lyon has a coll to
herself. We learn slio was made quite
oomfortable. it Is right and proper, and
only paying a just regard to morals, that
women prisoners should have a separate
cell, no matter who they are; and we are
glud to note that the officials of Russell
county provided Mrs. Lyon with a com
fortable room. No matter how heinous
her crime, she Is entitled to the considera
tion due a woman. True chivalry comes
up to tho anecdoto told on Talley
rond, when lie was seen lifting his hat arid
bowing. His companion asked him at
what he was bowing, and he pointed at a
pair of petticoats hanging on a clothes
line. So wo say, woman has her rights,
no rr alter who she is.
IN JAIL.
Mrs. Lyon is in jail at Sealo. Her coun
sel, Col. Samford, will sue out a writ of
habeas corpus before Judge O'Neal, Judge
of Frobate, asking him to assent to a bail
for her. As yet no step has been taken,
but probably ittwill bo done early in next
week,
Mr. and Mrs. Davis, and tho bright lit
tle child of Mrs. Lyon, left her in jail, and
returned to a sorrowful home. Mrs. Lyon
was only affected when she went into jail;
previous to tills she has shown no trepi
dation.

MAN FOUND DBA 11.
OOBONBR’a VKBDIOT “FROM DISEASE AND
EXPOSURE.”
Yesterday morning Mr. Munro came
into the city as usual, and on his way
saw lying near the road a white man. He
savr he was dead, and when he arrived in
tho oity reported tho fact to Coroner
Lloyd.
Mr. Lloyd repaired to tho spot, and
found doad a man by tho name of Isham
Bivins. He was lying about three miles
east of Columbus, and just this side of
Taylor’s creek. Asa singular fact he was
found dead at the very place on
the road called ’’haunted hollow,” and
where the superstitious claim to see
ghosts of dark nights.
Mr. Lloyd summoned a corouer’s jury
composed of Thomas Stone as foreman,
and Moses Taylor, George Adams, Au
gustus Howard, H. H. Thornton, and M.
F. Munro. They viewed tho dead body,
and upon the evidence of Mr. Munro,
rendered a verdlot that the deceased
came to his death from
DISEASE AND EXPOSURE.
The Coroner had his remains brought
to the city, and from his office to-day will
be interred in the city cemetery.
THE DECEASED
was about forty years of age, and had
been about the city selling some kind of
prize candy boxes. This did not pay him,
aud he became an object or charity. On
his person was found a letter from the City
Physician, Dr. Flewellen, addressed to Mr.
Bradford, Trustee of the Poor-house, ask
ing that he be sent there, as ho was not a
city pauper and not entitled to the bene
fits of the city hospital.
Another letter was found on his person,
written by a gentleman of the city to a
city officer urging him to have him placed
in the hospital, as fa the “coming election
he would make a good voter." He had,
however, been sent to the County Poor
house, and having tired of staying there
was making his way Into town.
THE CAUSE
of his immediate death is about this: He
started into the city Thursday evening
late. In crossing Taylor’s creek he must
have fallen into it, and iwas too wet and
cold to travel. He laid down by the road
side, and as Thursday night was a very
cold night, he simply djed from tho ex
posure, being already weak from disease.

THE OPERA
CAROLINE RICHINGS-BERKARD.
Monday evening lovers of opera will
have the pleasure of witnessing the per
formance of “Maritana” by the Caroline
Riching-Bornard Troupe. This company
Is spoken of in the highest terms by the
press everywhere, and at each city where
It has perforformed it has been greeted by
crowded houses. Tho Charleston News
und Courier thus speaks of the company:
“Martha” at the Academy.— “A thing
of beauty is a joy forever.” There are
beauties of melody and pleasing colors, as
it were, of sound. Who that once has
hoard the light and charming witchery of
Flotow’s opera of Maitha can ever forget
it ? or will not delight to hear it repeated
again, and yet. again ? Such was the priv
ilege of the music-levlng public lastjnight.
The Academy, we are pleased to be able
to say, was well filled, and Mrs. Bernard
had tho satisfaction of seeing that the
good people of Charleston had not forgot
ten her, nor the rich musical banquets she
was wont to spread for them when here
in former years. There was a goodly
number of people, representatives of ail
classes, and all had evidently come to en
joy the programme of melody promised
them. Martha and Nancy had the floor,
and Tilden and Hayes, for the nonce, were
both forgotten; and it was worth not a
little to got away from politics, if only for
two hours and a half.
However, to return to our fair heroine.
Mrs. Bernard looks as well as over, and
we are not sure that she is not improved
invoice. Her play throughout was excel
celent, but her singing was, we think, even
better than her actiug. Her sec
ond, Miss Moore, sang admirably, and
acted with all the sprightliness of the
ideal “Nancy.”
Mr. Henry Gates did the sentimental
“Lionel” in regulation Btyle. He has a
good teuor voice, and some of his solos
were very pleasingly rendored. Mr. Be
nitz, the basso, was In good voice.and the
duet of bass and tenor in the first act was
sung with great spirit, and was loudly ap
plauded and encored. The quartettes
wont off uolformily woll, and earned much
applause. The chorus at first seemed
harsh, but gradually got better and, till
by the close of the fourth act it came to be
a very respectable chorus indeed, and was
vociferously applauded.
The audience throughout seemed de
lighted, and it Is, of course, needless to
say this was especially tho case when
Mrs. Riohlngs-Bernard sang “The Last
Rose of Summer.” This never fails to
bring down the house. She threw her
whole soul into this lovely ballad, and
sang it with great sweetness and expres
sion.
Our community are highly favored in
having this well appointed company offer
ing them such a fine series of English op
eras.
Lively Trade.
From a number of our merchants we
learn that trade yesterday was particu
larly good in comparison with the dull
days preceding. A large number of stran
gers were in the city from Florida and
down the river.
We are glad to see this trade coming to
Columbus, and we hope our merchants
will foster and protect it. We have done
our part in making known the advantages
of Columbus as a market by sending an
agent through that section In search of
subscribers. Our paper in consequence is
largely circulated in Florida and the low
er river, and advertisements in onr col
umns will be read by those who trade in
Columbus.
‘Mo Hint.
The report was spread yesterday morn
ing that tho negroes were rioting in
“Utah,” and messengers were despatched
for the Sheriff of the county. Mr. Burrus
went to the reported scene of action, and
found that it was a false alarm and no
earthly ground for sech a report. Two
negro men had gotten together in a hot
fisticuff, and In the meelee a window in
an adjoining house was broken. Upon
the appearance of the Sheriff the aggress
or tied, and the other negro had "dun
nuthin’." So ends the sensation of yes
terday. _

there has bonn employed as a waiting
maid in tho family of Gen. Sully, at Fort
Vancouver, a young and handsome girl,
whose name we suppress for obvious rea
sons. There has also been employed, as
cook and general servant, a Chinaman,
who Is described as being a smart fellow,
and in personal appearance far above the
average of his race. Evidences of affec
tion have of late often been noticed be
tween the two, but it was passed off as a
Soke, and nothing serious thought of the
matter till one day last week, when both
the girl and the Chinaman were missing.
Upon inquiry it was ascertained that they
had come over to this city together by
steamer. Here all trace of them was lost,
and It is supposed they took overland

Widows.
From Burl Now Yorker. |
Winter-kept apples, seasoned wine, a
clouded meerschaum, a vase around
which the scont of the roses still hangs,
all these have a rare, ripe, evanescent fla
vor that suggest, but can not express, the
charm of the widow. A young widow is,
perhaps, the most interesting object in
nature—or in art. She represents expe
rience without its wrinkles or its gray
hairs. She has matronly beauty and
maidenly freedom combined. She is grief
with a laughing eye- sorrow in a house
of festival—a silver moon in a sable cloud
She is too sweet for anything! Like all
good things, she can only be created at a
great sacrifice. Mrs. Browning says a
man must bo pretty thoroughly spoiled
beforejhe can leave a widow. This black
swan—this mournful Phoenix—rises only
out of the funeral urn that holds the ashes
of a husband’s heart.
Eet us wipe away the briny tear and
proceed. Perdite. Pieruks. Poets, states
men, heroes and philosophers have each
felt the indefinable influence of widow
hood. Its quality is not strained. It falls
alike upon the just and unjust. Edward
Plantagnet married the widow Elizabeth
Gray, though ho knew she brought civil
war for her dowry. Ned Walker, Joe Ad
dison, Sam Johnson, George Washington,
Napoleon Bonaparte, John Wesloy, Tony
Weller, Ben Disraeli and all the boys mar
ried widows. Henry VIII. was so fond of
them that he took two; and King David
was so pleased with Abigail, the widow of
Nabai, whom he took to wife, that he
turned Bathsheba into a widow on pur
pose to marry her. When Judith ceased
her cogitations.

I UohJ Winters
We are not a propliet, nor the son of a
prophet, but we nevertheless prophesy an
unusually cold winter, and to show how
how cold the winters can be, wo give what
the Journal dee Debate speaking of years
of cold weather, says:
In 350 A. D.t InsKuxinc was frozen over
for two months.
In 508 the rivers of England were fro ion
over for two months.*
In 598 the Black Sea was coverod With
Ice for twenty days, and 768 the Ice was 80
toet thick.
In 721 the Elbe, Danube and Seine wore
frozon for four weeks.
In 1323 the Mediterranean was entirely
frozen.
In 1405 Tamerlane made an excursion
into China and lost his men, horses and
camels by the excessive cold.
In 1420 Paris experienced so great cold
that the city was dopopulatedknd animals
fed on corpses in the streets.
In 1443 at Paris, snow fell forty days
and nights incessantly.
In 1469, In Franco and Germany, wine
was frozen so bard that it was cut in
blocks and sold by weight.
In 1570 the intense cold lasted three
months and all the fruit trees of Provtnoo
and Languedoc were destroyed.
In 1607 provisions and food became so
scarce on account of the cold in Paris,
that a small bundle of kindting brush cost
forty cents. The cattle froze at their stalls
and the Heine could be crossed by heavy
carts.
In 1709 tho cold was so intense all over
Europe that mass could not be said for
many weeks in certain provinces, because
tho wine oould not bo kept in a fluid
state.
In 1735, in Chinese Tartary, the ther
mometer fell ninety-seven degrees below
zero, Fahienheit.
The winter of 1740 was of such rigor in
Russia that an ice palaco was constructed
at St. Petersburg fifty-one feet long and
seventeen feet wide. Six ice cannon wore
mounted on the walls and two mfirtars
for bombs. The cannon held balls of six
pounds’ weight, were charged with pow
der and discharged so that the ball
pierced a board two inches thick a dis
tance of sixty feet. The cannon did not
burst. Its walls were less than ten inches
in thickness.

•*U *lt River.”
The origin of the expression, “up Salt
river,” as applied to a defeated political
party, was as follows:
Davy Crockett, the famous Kentucky
Congressman, a Whig candidate, was chal
lenged by his Democratic opponent to
meet Idm on the stump hi joint discussion.
Croekdtt accepted, and the day and place
were fixed, but Crockett did not. appear,
and tho people thinking him afraid to do
so rallied for his opponent and elected
him. It afterwards turned out that Crock
ett, who had started for tho plaeo in a ca
noe propelled by a negro, had been landed
in the forest at the head waters of Sait
river, by hl6 treacherous guide, who then
swiftly paddled off down the stream.
Crockett was too good a hunter to starve
In the wilderness, but he was totally un
bblo to reach the appointed place in time,
and he gave It up, and with it his chance
of election. Hence the phrase “Up Salt
River”—meaning that the party is hope
lessly defeated. Crockett, however, was
more lucky two years afterwards, being
elected by a handsome majority.
Vagrant Cats,
Moore of the constitutionalist appears
to his readers the following humane re
ceipt for thinning out the feline race :
—A friend to vagrant cats offers the
following humane recipe for thinning out
the feline population : “First, have set
out scraps of food in your yard, and by
watching, you will soon see the cat
stealthily creep in, snatch a morsel and
run. Each day, if not disturbed, it will
get more familiar, and in the course of
two or three weeks it will venture into
the house and allow itself to be handled’
It can then be placed in a box large
enough to turn round in and not feel
stifled. Then, for a grown cat, put two
table spoonfuls of best chloroform on a
handful of cotton batting. Put in the cat
first, shutting the lid of the trunk, then
open the lid wide enough to slip in the
chloroformed cotton and immediately
close it.”
