SAVAGE DEED.-On SUNDAY morning last Mrs
Margaret Smoot, wife of Mr.. Isaac Smoot of this
village, was shot in her own dwelling about eight
o'clock, by fend in human shape-an individual
named Robert Hoy--and mortay wounded
two large sized balls entering the left shoulder
and passing from thence into the body, whence they
cannot be cXtractcd) that no hopes entertained
of her recovery. She is still living, however, at the
time OF putting our paper to press.
Ii seems that Hoy had contracted dislike TO three
individuals, Zone of whom was the victim whose
name we have given above, the other two his own
witcs's reatVes) and determined to destroy
them. Accordingly, on the morning before alluded
to, having armed himself with double balrclled
shot gum both barrels Of which were heavily charg-
cd, one with ball and the other with shot) and a
knife, he proceeded TO the residence of the victim
Of his revenge who, surrounded by her husband
and o.her members of the family was preparing
for breakfast, Passing through two rooms, he gained
the apartment at that time occupied by Mrs. :. and
without any previous warning, other than the excla-
nation, Mrs. Smoot YOU must die discharged
the barrel containing the bal!sproducng the effect
before noticed.
Immediately after having discharged the one bar
rel of his gun, he started out, determining to 60 ii
quest ofthe oher individuals bv whom he supposed
himself to have been aggrieyed. He caught
however just as he stepped from the outer door OF
the house III which he committed the inhuman deed
by Mrs. SIS husband, who was preparing to give
him the reward of his dongs,-when he was taken
from his grasp by some of citizens, and after
undergoing an examination before a magistrate,
committed to prison, where he now awaits his trial.
Hoy is man about 30 years of age, and has a
wife 30 whom he married in this place about a
year since,) and one child living here.
1t is utterly impossible for us to give an idea of
the excitement produced in our town and ncighbor-
hood in consequence Of this horrid affair. Every
circumstance taken into consideration, doubt
whether a more daring and diabocal deed has ever
been recorded.

BY the Steam-Boat Providence, Capt. Thaycr.
which arrived at O'Clock this morning, we have
received the n. Y. Evening Post of last evening
from which we extract the following news of the
election in Ohio.
The young Giant of the West, appears to hold
fast to the integrity, 81 TO the Democratic principles
of the present Administration. Like Maine, New
Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Georgia, .NNcw-Jcrscy
the opposition tles away before the majestic march
of republicanism, like chahf before the wind.
From Omo.-The only intelligence which we
have from Ohio this morning, in addition to what we
published yesterday, is contained in letter from a
highly respectable gentleman in New-Lisbon, Co
lumbana county, under date of the 10th instant.
He informs us that the official returns of the elect
ion in that District had been just received, that the
majority of THOMPSON, the administration candi-
date for Congress, over RICHARDSON, the Bank can
didate is 1919 votes and that the majority of Lucas
the democratic candidate for Governor is 900. The
whole Jackson ticket for the legislature, we are
informed on the same authority, is carried by ma
jority upwards of 1000 votes. Kilgorc antibank,
elected in the place of Judge Leavitte, (resgncd)
by about 400 majority. Thompson's majority at the
last Congressional election only 535-showine
administration gain of nearly five hundren votes.
Leavits majority at the last election was only 90
that the administration majority in his disdrct has
also increased in the last two years upwards of 300
votes.
Since the foregoing was in type the following,
from the Globe, has met our eye.
We hear from the Columbus district in Ohio, Tone
which has always been held the most doubtful fany
represented by Democrat in Congrcss,) that the
preseut excellent Representative, Mr.. McLenc, il
reelected.

Great Printing stayL'hment.-fn looking over q
le ofthe late London paper, find an interesting
description of the extensive printing establishment
of Mr. Clawes, where the publications of the cele-
brated publisher, Charles Knight and of the Soc-
ETY. for the Diffusion OF Useful knowledge, are
printed. There are employed 80 type founders, Q
stereotype founders, men damping paper, and,
100 compositors. The principal composing room,
where the type is set is 27O feet long, and is filed
from end TO end with a double row of frames, two
steam engines employed in driving the printing
machines of which there are : that can each throw
off from 700 to 1000 impressions per hour. There
- common printing presses for fine work. and
five hydraulic presses of 260 horse power each, for
pressing paper. There in the establishment
about 1909 works in stereotype, OF which 10 are
Bibles. The first cost of these plates would amount
to c i0O,O ,O00 the weight is about 5000 tons, and If
melted and sold for old metal, would be worth
f7O,0OO. The average quantity of paper printed
amounts weekly to the astonishing quantity of about
2OOO reams. When the paper-makers and other
tradesmen are taken into account, the men to which
this establishment gives employment, must amount
10 several thousauds.-Balt. american.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.

We understand that duel, originating under cir
cumstances of great aggravation and peculiar deli
cacy, about TO be fought on Thursday last near
Bladensburgh was happily prevented by the prompt
and energetic measures of the Secretary of State,
and that the affairs has terminated in the of
the parties and their seconds. Too much praise
cannot be given TO the Secretary of State and the
Navy, for their laudible exertions, in preventing
this rencounter. Although the cases of deep
and abiding injury that live and gnaw upon the
soul like the worm that never dies, and which no
legal redress can mitigate or wipe away, vet they
are few and ofno frequent occurrence, and we have
often witnessed with astonishment the reckless
waste of human life, for causes that rational being
should blush to own were of consequence enough
to rutile a manly temper-NOrM timer.
