TIE TIMES.

.Why arc not the times better TASK the To-
co focos. add you not promise us better times
ae soon as Harrison should be elected :" say
they. Well, we promised to reform the govern
mcnt, to stop the squandering Of money, and to
restore public prosperity; but we promised no
miracles. We address men of sense, not FOOLS
The mischiefs which the country suffers were
brought on by series Of bad measures, and can
no more be repaired in an instant than patient
reduced almost to skeleton by quackery can
de restored TO vigorous health amp strength in
a day. The Van Buren, system is yet in full
operation so far as the laws are concerned. The
tub-treasuyy is the law of the land, and must
remain so until the meeting OF Congress- The
locoes denounce the extra session as unneces-
cary they wish us to 60 on with the same ex-
pertinent which has failed in their hands: with
their sub-treasury their hard money exactlons
of duties: their suspended State banks theil
no currency and no tariff, and no national bank
and yet hold us responsible for not making the
times better. We can't do much under thel
system. We must abandon it, and return to the
old one under which we formerly prospercd
We hope Congress will lose no time in doing
this. There can be no sound currency till it il
done, and until there is better currency, bust
pess cannot revive but partially.

Az ELOQUENT WARNIw.-The following
brief account Of an execution adds another to
the numberless warnings against tho sin OF
drunkenness:
AT Raleigh, IN. C) last week. young man
named Madison Johnson was hung for the
murder of Henry Bcasley. When brought
under tho galows, he addressed the people
nearly an hour, in an unialterng and audible
voice-warning them, and especially the young
against the evil practices of gambling, intcm-
perance, and night carousals, to which he attri-
buted his ignomnous and untimcly death. lie
said he had been deaf to the good advice of his
parents, and that tho crime for which he was to
pay tho forfeit Of his life was committed under
the influence Of liquor and passion and added
that if he had never INDUCED in the practice OF
drinking he should then be free

CoLuMnus, Junc0.-Ths city was thrown
into state of great excitement this morning
by the announcement of tho murder Of one
OF the guards in tho = cnitcnt,ary, by a pris-
oner. The facts as have been enabled TO
collect them, arc briefly these 1T appears
that the prisoner was sent here from Scioto
country about one year since, for some often.
CO committed in that county for which the
iusul,cd laws demanded his Imprisonment
for the period of ten years in the Pcn;tcn-
,iary. during which timo he was 10 labor for
the state TO pay for his bed and board. Upon
his arrival nj his fIturv residence. he showed
signs Of a refractory disposition and q dis
INCLINATION to labor for his bread, whcrcupon
he was placed in the stone cutting ysrp, I'M
der the immediate superintendent Of Mr..
CYRUS Sells, the deceased. whose duty ii
became to see that the sentence Of the law
was fulfilled, and who in consequence of the
s,ubborness ofthc prisoner, was compelled
to make use Of harsh measures 10 compel him
to work. The prisoner disliking the appli-
cation of the 'cat. has upon several occasions
sworn to take the life of Mr.. Sells.
Matters remained in this situation until
Yesterday, when the prisoner,hy some means
or other went into tho coopcr's shop, and got
possession ola small hand axe, the sllor,
handle of which he replaced with longer
ono, so that he could swing it with both
hands, and this morning as Mr.. Sells was
combing his hair after washing himself for
brcakfact, the prisoner stole up behind him,
and struck him a blow with tho edge of tho
axe across the back part of his head, sever
ing the first finger of the right hand which
held the comb, and penetrating the skull,
Just back of the car. Mr.. Shells staggered
forward, and cried out for help the internal
wretch brought him another blow upon the
other side of This head, when he fell to the
ground. AS soon as Sells fell the murderer
gave him another blow across the neck, COM
plctcly scrring his head from his body, cx-
ccpt small piece of skin upon each side OF

A CHILD LOST IN THE WOODS.

a daughter OF MIR. David w. Boobar Of
Linneus, Aroostook CO. on the morning of the
4th inst, was sent by her mother to a neigh
boris house half a milo distant, to borrow
little flour for breakfast. Tho girl is only
nine years Of age, and in going through the
woods, lost her way.-Thc next morning
about 40 of tho ncighbors collected and went
In pursuit, but returned without any tdings
of the child. Tho next day the company
was increased TO sixty persons and searched
tho woods all day with no better SUCCESS
On the following day, between two and three
hundred of tho settlers assembled early in the
morning, their hearts swelling with sympathy
and all eager to restore the little wanderer
to the arms of it, dcspa,ring parents.
The company set out for thorough and
last search. Tho child had been in tho
woods three days and three nights, and many
hearts were sunk into dependency at tho
utter hopclessness Of finding it alive. But
10 learn its fato and restore il, was an indom-
table purpose of each. Half tho day had
been expended in entering tho forcs,.-l,
was time to think ofrcturning, but who could
think of doing SO willie an Innocent child
might be wandering but q few rods in adva-
nee Z On the company pushed, still deep
CT into tho dense wilds. The sun had rea-
chcd the meridian and was piping down to-
wards the west. 1t seemed vain to look
farther and slowly and heavily those stout
hearted men brushed q tear from thor
cheeks, gave up all rs lost. and as their hearts
seemed to dictate them. commenced their
return.-Tho limo was stretched TO include
survey of the greatest possible ground, not
bush or tree, where it was possible for child
to be concealed, within the limits of tho line
was passed without diligent search. Those
at the extremity Of the limo tasked themselves
to the utmost in examining tho woods be-
yond the lines. They had Travelled for some
time, when, al the fatlcrest point Of vision,
the man Of tho flank thought no saw a bush
bend. He ran with swelling heart. He
hesitated. Was it his inaginationi lie
gazcd at the little wandcrer was seen. He
rushed forward and found the little girl seated
upon log, and breaking the twigs she had
plucked from the bush which 50 provident-
ialy led to her discovery. She did not APP
pear TO be frightened said she had lain in
the woods three nights, and had not seen or
heard any wild beasts, and that she thought
she should get to Mr.. Towards for the flour
before night At first she did not appear
hungry or weak, but after eating piece of
bread her cries for moro we're piteous. Sho
was found about three miles from whore she
entered the woods. Her clothing was very
thin, and the large shawl she had on when
she left home. she had carefully folded and
placed in the pillow case, not even putting
1t over her during the night, AS sho Innocent
ly said, "to keep from dir,ying it or her
mother would whip her." Our informant
states that she is now rs well and happy as
