4 SHOCKING MuRpER.

The details Of d murder that has few par
sllels in. the annals of crime are thus given
in the Morgan, Alabama Observer.
We are Informed from private sources,
that on last Saturday, poor man who was
moving westward with his wife and three
little children and diving small drove Of
sneep and perhap6 COW or two which was
driven by his family, on arriving in Flo
renee and while passing through, met with
a citizen Of that place, who rode into his
flock and caused him some trouble 10 keep
il together when the mover informed the in
dVidual that lie must not do so again or he
would throw a rock at him, upon which
some words cnsued and the individual a.
gain disturbed the Gocki when the motet
as near as we can learn, threw at him; upon
this the troublesome man got of his horse,
went into grocery, got gun and came
out and deliberately shot the poor stranger
in the presence of his wife and little chill
dren. The wounded man then made an
effort to get into soine house, when his
murderous assaiant overlook and stabbed
him to the heart with bowie knife. This
revolving scene, we are informed occurred
in the presence; of many citizens, who re-
port says, never even lifted their voices in
defence Of the murdered man.

Decision for Publishers Of Nc,cspapers.
Judge Thompson, of Indiana, at a late
sitting Of the Circuit Court, al which he
presided gave the following decision, in a
case where a subscriber TO newspaper re-
fused to take the paper out of the post Of
flee without complying with the terms Of
the Publisher.
"That If subscriber to d periodical
failed to notify the editor to discontinue the
paper at the end Of the term subscribed
for or pay up the.arrearages he was bound
for another year"
This settles very important principle.

It seems that AEoltionism finds but little
favor from the orderly; peacsabe and quiet
people of Wyoming Valley. A few days
since the celebrated abolition lecturer, Bur-
leigh, gave notice of his intention to snlight-
On the inhabilaht. Of WilkeGbarrc upon the
subject Of his darling scheme; but receiving
! significant hint that his services were rot
required in that department, BY N, act Of
prompt and rigid justice inflicted on cne Of
his satellites, he thought proper to decamp,
and seek some more favorable soil to the
growth Of his reasonable doctrines. The
way tile good citizens OF the valley took
the lash Of his tongue, after he had cleared
the mountain barrier towards Easton,was a
eautish to old folks. Even there; however;
no found gentleman Who would MT brook
The doctfine Of smalgama,lon, which he ad
vocatsd to the fullest extent, rs one of His
fellow passengers gave him feeling e.i-
dence Of his dislike 10 this doctrine which
is SO disgusting to the sense, and SO sbhor-
rentto all the refined feelings Of civilization.
The passenger was about to hand him over
toan acquainlacs Of the tloltes of that desc.
late region, that he might have practical
trial Of amalgamation, when the poor fel.
, low begged for quarters. This is the sec.
Ond attempt of abolition lecturers within
two years, 10 disturb The peace and quiet
of that delightful valley; BY introducing
within its limits, their destructive doctrine
but in both cases they haze been defeated
by Grm and decided demonstration of the
citizens against it.

Miraculous ESCAPE. A Child rescued
from Panther Last Saturday forenoon,
MIR. James Ranney and wife, who live about
% miles east ofihis village, in the town OF
Watson. left home on business leaving their
house in charge of their oldest child, girl
aged about IL years. Near noon the girl
heard the infant, aged Is months, which had
been laid while asleep on a bed in an aljoin-
ing bedroom, utter horred screen. upon
which she Immediately ran to its relief. and
imagine her feelings upon opening the door,
10 see a panther with the babe in its mouth
leaping from an open window immediately
over the bed But she, like true heroine,
sprang upon the bed and then out ofthe win
dow, screaming al the height oil her voice,
and upon being joined BY the other children
about the house, pursued the panther at their
utmost speed. They followed it about forty
rods to pair of BARS, which separated the
clearing from the forest, at which place the
girl states that she approached TO within IF
teen or twenty feet ofthe panther. when it re-
linquished its hold ofthe child, eapt the bars
and made its way into the woods. The in.
FAINT was picked up much strangled from its
rapid movement through the grass and sand
which had filled its mouth and eyes, but soon
recovered and is now we'll, save a few scrat.
ches about us body. which have the appear
ance Of having been made by the panther's
teeth. These marks arevery plain, and there
are several blood bisters raised where the
teeth in slipping came in contact The girl
states that the panther dropped the child
once before arriving at the fence, and il is
supposed the giving away OF the clothing
was the cause, as they we're much torn.
We have the above particulars from IN
questionable authority, and the probability OF
the story will not be questioned when il is
known that the immense forest east ofthe riv-
er is inhabited by the panther, & that at this
season ofthe yearthey frequently are the per,
sonifcaiion Of famine itself, which fact &C.
counts for its movements, and its inability to
leap the bars with its prey in its mouth. as
we understand it made two Intellectual efforts
before giving il up. Too much praise can
not be bestowed upon the brave girl who
thus saved the life Of the child. ILowvillt

THIRTEEN MILLIoNs,and Van Buren, spends
FORTY MILLIONS. Hear what the Senator
from Tennessee says on this subject, who
has been endorsed by the editor of the Rich
mond Enquirer as one OF the purest men in
the land
When Mr., Adams went out Of Office, our
expenditures amounted only TO from taceire
TO thirteen millions OF dollars per annum, and
the whole party then cried out waste and ex.
travagance--we must have retrenchmenl
and reform and now we have, according TO
the Message ofthe President at the last ses-

dollars
How has this come 10 pass2 answer

The party now in power deliver long and
wholesome lectures on the value and neces-

shameful and extravagant waste in their ex,

1t is useless TO preach about the value Of
retrenchment and reform. unless the Admin
