HIGHEST MOUNTAIN IN New YORK.
White Face, a mountain in Essex county in
this State, on the dividing ridge between the
tributaries of the Hudson and st. Lawrence,
is found by Professor Emmens, State Geolo-
gist to be 1855 feet above the level Of the
Sea, while Round Top, of the Catslsill Range
hitherto deemed our highest peak, is only
3S04-the Professor says, that it is highly pro-
bable that some other peaks in the neighbor-
visited or measured will approximate inheight
to the White Hills Of New Hampshire The
region is not free from snow three months in
the year, and twice in the month oGAugnst
last the highest submits were covered. The
scenery is sublime. One precipice which
was measured is 1900 feet high. This preci-
pica extends about mile, though it does not
preserve this great elevation the whole dis
tance-N. Y. STAR.

The relation of the annexed outrage is CO.
pied from the Louisville Journal of the oath
ult. Offences of this character, ifnot prompt
~ followed with the punishment which vio-
lated laws demand, must rest as a stigma up-
on the whole People the State within whose
borders they are committed One ofthe par
ties to the outrage is declared to be the Sher
if of the county!
''We derived from a respectable
traveller the particulars of one of the
most atrocious and horrible occurren-
ces that ever disgraced the annals of
human life, civilized Or savage. A
feeble-bodiedman, whose name we did
not learn, settled few years ago on
the Mississippi, short distance below
Randolph on the Tennessee side. He
succeeded In anassing property to the
value of about $4,000 and, like most
of the settlers, made business of SELL
ing wood to the boats. This he sold at
So so cord, while his neighbors ask
ed $3. One of them came to remon-
strate against his underselling, and had
fight with his brother-in-law, Clark,
in which he was beaten. He then
went to obtain legal process. against
Clark, and returned with deputy sher-
lift, attended by aposse of desperate vii
lains. When they arrived at Clark's
house he was seated amongst his chill
dren, and they instantly fired on him,
woundmgtwo children and putting two
or three balls through his body. Clark
ran, was overtaken and knocked down.
In the midst of hrs cries for mercy, one
of the villains fired a pistol in his
mouth, killing him instantly. They
then required the settler to sell his
property to them and leave the coun-
try. He, fearing that they would 9TH
erwise take his life, sold them his val
liable property for $500, and departed
with his family. The sheriff was one
of the purchasers"

Encomaging.-If the old saying
Show me Head Of Rye in April, and
will ensure you an abundant crop IN
July-be entitled to any respect, we
have an encouraging prospect for this
crop which is forthcoming, notwith-
standing the dark forebodings of the a.
larmists. On Wednesday last, being
the Goth Of April, stalk of Rye IN FIJI
head, was left at our office, which grew
on the premises of Mr.. James Ash
mead, of this place. We have been
told of several other heads which were
plucked IN other places, on Friday and
Saturday last; and from all the infor-
nation that we can gather from this
neighborhood and adjacent districts,
respecting the state of the crops, they
promise any thing but failure.
We perceive, too, that in several Of
our late exchange papers, from various
parts Of this and the adjoining States
the crops are recruiting wonderfully,
and from present indications will yield
fair average crop.
