MuRpER.-On Saturday last, Coroner's in

for long time resident of this place and vicini-
ty' who was stamped to death the evening
previous, by man named John Rocky at a
drunken dance, held at the shanee of Nehemiah
Dillon, II miles below town. The wretches who
were engaged in the 'froic'' with savage indif-
ference, rolled the body into corner, and without
throwing covering over the senseess clay, con-
nued their hellish orgies for hours after the mur-
der. Vicksburg may be pointed at for hanging

they ever first murdered, and then hour after

their victim. We hope that the extreme of pun
ishment may speedily overtake the principal; and
that those who were present may meet that scorn
and Indignation from the public they have SO large
ly earned and SO richly merit. Rocky has not as
yet been taken; there are, however, persons in
pursuit of him.-ZanesuiNe Tisiter.

A RIVER ON FIRE.

II can no longer be doubted that the Alabamians
are waking up, as it will appear, by the following
article, that they have succeeded in setting their
principal river on fire:
The Iombigby River on Fire-While Mr.. J.
VI. Cooper was prosecuting the removal of
McGrew's shoals, after boring to the depth of 375
feet his auger suddenly dropped and entirely dis
appeared In the space of several moments deem
hollow sound WIS heard, resembling the rumblino
noise of distant thunder from the chasm below,
and at the same instant gushed forth from the shaft
thus made, a clear, transparent, oleaginous sub
stance or liquid, which bois up very similar to a
boiling pot; and which, owing to the sluggshness
of the current, has gradually dused itself over the
whole surface of the river. A quantity has been
collected and upon application of fire, it is found
to burn equal to the present sperm oil.
To crafty curiosity and make further tests, fire
has been applied to the oil on the water, and the
whole surface of the river is now burning emitting
flame of most beautiful appearance about six in
ches high, and has already extended about half
way down to Fort Stoddard the reflection of
which upon the horizon at night, presents most
sublime spectacle, lar surprising in grandeur and
beauty of appearance, the aurora borealis.-No-

there were any thing to illustrate the triumph of

female of Maine, for restoring to her an artificial

surface of the wound, and brought down trian-
guar portion of skin from the forehead, detached

as to present the inner bleeding surface to the

lloNEsTY.-A certain poor widow, one winters
day had consumed her little stock of wood in pro-
vdng scanty meal for her children, without
knowing where she could obtain more She put
her children to bed soon after, and sat shivering
over handful of embers in full view of large
woodpile, belonging to rich and hard-hearted
neighbor The thought entered her mind that
she could take handful of this wood and the
owner would never miss it. After many struggles
she concluded togo after her neighbor had gone to
bed, and get handful that she might prepare her
children some breakfast. She went and picked
up the wood, but the thought of stealing SO over
whelmed her, that forgetting where she was, she
spoke aloud, Have l come to this? Must steal?
Oh, cannot steal, but if | don't must freeze
But oh! can't steal!' and throwing down the
wood, she walked away. She went home and
went to bed. The rich man stood in his door
and heard all the poor woman said, and it soften
cd his heart. Early next morning he sent eight
loads OF wood and other articles, telling her that
she was welcome, and adding, you fairly beat the
devil out of me last night. ht.'-EuansviHe Journal.

Three casks Of gunpowder, shipped as coffee,
were lately landed in Vicksburg from the steamer
Augusta; being part Of the cargo Of the ship Pow

signed to John Fountain, of the former place, and
shipped in his presence at the latter city! This
system of shipping a combustible article under
