| THE ITALIAN FISHERMAN. Marquis Del
la Scalas, an Italian nobleman, having invited the
lneighboring gentry to grand entertainment,
where all the delcaces of the season were provi-
ded-some of the company arrived very early,
for the purpose OF paying their respects to his ex
|cellency. Soon after this, the major-domo enter
ing the dining room in great hurry, told the
Marquis that there most wonderful fisher
man below, who had brought one Of the finest
fish in all Italy; for which, however, he demanded
most extraordinary price. g Regard not his
price, said the Marquis, "pay him the money
directy'' $50 would, please your highness,
but he refuses to take any moneys ''What then
would the fellow have!" san hundred strokes
of the srappado on his bare back, my lord; he
says he will not bate single blow On this,
the whole company ran down stairs, to see so
singular man. ''A fine fish," cried the Mar
quis; ''what is your demand, my friend!" eNot
a quatrlna. my lord answered the fisherman;
Il will not take money If your lordship wish
es TO have the fish, you must order me an hundred
lashes of the srappado on my naked back; other
wise, | shall apply elsewhere .'Rather than
lose the fish" said the Marquis, s'we must cen
let this fellow have his humor-here,' cried he,
to one of his grooms, 'dscharge this honest mans S
demands, but don't lay on very hard-don't hurt
the poor fellow too muchu' The fisherman then
stripped, and the groom prepared to execute his
lordship's orders. ''Now, my friend," said the
fisherman, ''keep an exact account, / beseech
lyou for don't desire single stroke more than
my DUE The whole company were astonished
at the amazing fortitnde with which the man
submitted to the operation, till he had received
the liteth lash, when addressing himself to the
servant-''Hod my friend H. cried the fisherman,
II have now had my full share of the price,
''Your share" cried the Marquis; sswhat is the
meaning of all this!'' 'sMy lord,'' returned the
fisherman, 81 have partner, to whom my honor
is engaged, that he shall have his full share OF
whatever received for the fish, and your lord
ship, dare venture to say, will by and by own,
that 1t would be a thousand pties to defraud him
OF asmgie stroke ''And pray, honest friend,''
said the Marquis, "who is this partner!" g Your
porter, my lord answered the fisherman, s.who
keeps the outer gate, and refused to admit me,
unless | would promise him half what | should
obtain for the fish" '.Ho! Ho!' exclaimed the
Marquis, laughing very heartily, sbut he shall
have double the demand, in good tale" The
porter was accordingly sent for, and being strip
ped to the skin, two grooms were ordered to lay
on with all their might, until he had fairly re-
ceived what he was so well entitled to- The
Marquis then ordered his steward TO pay the fish
erman twenty sequins-desiring him to call an
nually for the like sum, as recompense for the
friendly service he had rendered him.-N. Z. W.

From the Vandalia (IH) Register, Of May :.
HORRID MURDER.

On Sunday last, our town was Tue iieato VI
what.was, to all appearance, the most coiu olooa-
ed and deliberate murder we remember ever W
have read of in the annals OF crime. ne lac.s' as
they have been related to us, are as follows:
About 8 o'clock, P. M, on Saturday, in the
Grocery of Mr.. Brown, some dozen or more per-
sons being present, A. Guykosky and Nelson
Rail were staining at the counter apparently
drinking together in friendship. Suddenly the
former drew pistol, cooked it, and, presenting
it al RAIL- shot him through the right breast, the
ball passing downwards in the direction OF the
heart. The unfortunate man reeled round, placed
his hand on the wound, fixed his glazed eye on
the murderer, fell, and almost instantly expired
Guykosky was Immediately arrested by our ac-
tive officers, and having undergone legal examl-
nation, was committed, aud is now in custody,
awaiting his trial. As his name denotes, Guy
kosky is Polander by BIRTH and is among those
exies to whom the liberality of our Government
was extended at the time they sought refuge
among us from the power of RUSSIA He lived
about a mile and a half from this place, on the
Kaskaskia bluff.
Mr.. Rial was a highly respectable, worthy,
and industrious citizen of this county. A more
peaceable and inohensve man did not exist
among us. He was in the prime Of life, and has
left widow and four children, besides many re-
latives, to deplore his untmely fate.
Benevolence ill-jGdged and misplaced. This
is another specimen Of our folly. VIII the
act bestowing undeserved benefits on these
Poles, or any Of its results, make amends for the
ferocious and diabolcal outrage thus committed Oh
our fellow counuyman, by which he was brought
to an untimely end and so much woe has been
inflicted on his helpless perhaps sufiering) fam
lily! No. The whole clan ought to be exiled
back again to Poland, and given up TO their task
masters.-ED. N. Am.

A Problem for .QboHfionists.-The State
Prison of Connecticut, by the late official report,
is in 9 fourshing' condition. There have
been in it for the year past, 264 conyicts, of
which 10 have been discharged, and 4 have died,
leaving 100 within the walls, which is seventeen
less than at the commencement of the year. OF
these, III are white, and even in Connecticut,
where negroes are rare as ssblack swans,''
there are no less than forty-nine persons of this
description, making about one-fourth of the whole
number of State conyicts! The report itself ac-
knowledges that Ito quote its own words) 'sThe
number Of blacks in confinement, compared with
the whites, is ten or tWelDe times greater than is
the proportion of the black to the white popula-
ton in the State" The nett earnings for the
year have been $20,544 Al leaving nett profit
over the expenses Of $5,O52 OF. lEp The dis
proportonate amount Of colored persons demon
strates in our mind clearly what we have SO often
urged, that the madness Of fanatics in trying to
make our Northern States an asylum for that
worst species of population called Free Negroes,
leads in fact to the extension of crime and pauper-
ism, and the consequent multiplication Of prisons
and poor-houses, which are the receptacles in
which the deuded, caressed and degraded chill
dren Of Africa generally terminate their career
