Perry urged General Harrison to withdraw,

EXTRAORDINARY TRANsAcr1oN.-T

EXTRAORDINARY IRANsACTION.-The
Leavenworih, Indiana, Arena says:
ION Thursday last, suspicious looking
man was seen lurking about town, in com.
pany with young girl. He apparently
dreaded the sight of man. At about the
setting of the sun the Gray Eagle approach
ed tnis place on her way to New Orleans
the mysterious couple went on board and
were soon out of sight. The next day three
men arrived in this place, in pursuit Of them.
II appears that this mysterious man was a
Mr. Carey from Washington county. He
had been member of the church, and was
considered respectable man until within
short time past. Not may days before he
was seen here, he poisoned his wife with
arsenic, and married this Young gisl that he
was with in this town. The particulars of
this case are SO horrible that we must be ex-
cused from relating them in detail"

Health to the Press! that giyeth
All liberty its birth;
That everlasting hveth
AS long as this old earth;
That waketh mystic voices
To raise, defend redress;
While freedoms soul rejoices.
Health to the mighty Press!
Health to the Press! the wonder
or all the world of mind;
It hath the spirits thunder,
The speed-wing of the wind;
The feet that tread on letters,
The hands TINT scatter wealth;
Now lie, its people debtors
Loud echo to its health.
When nations are progressing,

It gives to peace its blessing,
The glory crown to war;
1t rolleth darkness from us,
Lights every land and isle,
And makes the worlds wide commerce
Grow golden on its smile!
A life-tree! ever growing
In grandeur over all;
Out bright young branches throwing,
When old ones fade and fall.
But though in their Defenders,

The tree those ancient members
Stills shelters from decay.
And widow'd boughs left weeping,
And all their tender shoots,
The tree with careful keeping,
Feeds upwards from the roots;
Whose fair fruits, sweetly growing
In charity's caress,
Make happy, bright, and glowing
The hearts that warm the Press!
Health to the Press! that giveth
All liberty its birth;
That everlasting liveth
As long as this old earth;
