The DoyIsstown, Pa. Democrat
says: -"The village Of Newhope was,
we understand, quite in q lerment on
Wednesday night, the 10Th inst. ow,
ing to the contemplated marriage of a
black man with white woman. The
woman has, heretofore borne good
character, but the black was an iul.
pudent rascal. The people in this
part of the world are not yet prepar>
ed to witness such degrading specta-
cles, and II The parties had not moved
off in quick time, we believe the sta.
tutes Of Judge Lynch would have been
put in reguisilion.o
During the last week placards were
stuck up about New York, calling for
the application of Lynch's Law to
Arthur Tappan. Mobs collected on
two successive evenings, but timely
demonstration, ON the part of the po-
lice, checked the turbulent spirit.

A writer in the Alexandria Gazette
gives description of an improved kind
of harness, to be seen at one of the coach
factories in that town, which is $50 con-
structed that the driver may. at pleasure,
change the position of the harness, so as
to make the horse or horses pull against
themselves; which leaves no possible
chance Of their running away or kick
ing."-lb.
A writer in the Richmond Whig recon-
mends the sinking of shaft as far as
practicable into the earth, for the purPo-
SEES of investigation and discovery, and
that general collection be taken up to
defray the expenses OF the undertaking.
We should like to sea the experiment tri-
ed--especially as, if carried out, there
would be soma chance of boring through
and through the orb we nnabt--and
what contamination that would DO -

LAMENTABLE. "A Mr.. M. Ball, Of
Lincoln County, Kentucky, Of highly
respectable connexions, who for years
had fallen into the perncious vice OF
intemperance, accused one Of his neigh
bors, gentleman with whom he had
previously lived in the closest intimacy
and friendship, of invading his nuptial
rights. The hatred of Mr.. B. became
SO inveterate that he Invited MIR. Ken
ley, his neighbor, to his house, and at
tempted to shoot. him. But MIR. K.
eyaded bis diaboIical stra,agem, and
saved his life by speedy retreat.
However, Mr.. b. stung to madness
under supposed injury, sought the
life OF Mr.. X. 10 every direction until
last Tuesday, when he was returning
from visit to his fa,her.in.law's in
company with his wife, and passing
through Mr.. KS pastures, saw MIR. KS
hands working not far from the road.
He called to them, and inquired for
their master. They Informed him, Of
the direction he had taken, when MIR.
B. left his wife and pursued after him,
and coming up to him made an attack,
according 10 the testimony OF one OF
the witnesses, upon Mr.. K. by cooking
and presenting his pistol at him. MIR.
X. living in daily apprehension of be-
ing attacked, had carried his gun with
him, which he now seized and fired,
and lodged its contents in the breast
of his pursuer. Mr.. BPS horse wheeled
at the Gre of the gun and run more
than hundred yards before he fell.
He expired in few minutes. We will
only add in noticing this horrible ca
tastrophe that Mr.. K. was immediate
~ tried by a jury composed of his
countrymen and acquitted. -- Gazette.
