The United States Gazette thinks il a

that 1t would be as well to put contingent

Mr.. Clay for President.

In opening his Court in the county Of
Richie, (ta&en from portions of Wood,
Lewis and lIarrison,) Judge Fry gave
some sound advice. Whilst he spoke of
the advantage of counties of convenient
size, giving better police, disseminating
knowledge of the law, and bringing jus.
tice nearer to every mans door, he "cau-
toned against resort to the law on every
occasion, and advised forbearance an6
forgiveness. He said the law, being a
human institution, had its itnE DIRECTIONS,
but also had its blessings and beautifully
alluded TO the protection i; affords to ev.
cry calling and almost every art of life."

The Philadelphia U. S. Gazette has
the following notice Of the call for a
Young Mems National Convention, to
meet in this city on the ID Of May, 1874.
The objection to the time OF the Cohven
ton is no, w,l taken. TIL national Con
venton TO nominate President we sug-
gest to our friends, will make short work
oft. There viii be no conflicting claims
Of candidates to weigh and adjust. But
II the Conventions me Ell simultaneously, so
much the better. The enthusiasm will
be greater and the victory rendered
more certain. In regard to The PROPOSE
ton, which appears to have been previ-
ouslv made, that mass meeting be held
in Philadelphia, it is just tie thing. We
cannot have too many Of these Conven-
tons. Baltimore will lead off: Phiiadel.
phia will follow: and New York come
next: and Boston will close with repeti.
ton CT the great Bunker Hill celebration
of 1910; and then follows the voting, and
The election Of tie Clay electors in some
twenty Of the States. The Philadelphia
Conventions, VIII never held, will, we are
sure, neither lack numbers nor cnthus-
asm. There will be there an avalanche
Of the people, of which we mere in Balti-
more will take care TO make up good
part. So, the Philadelphia United States
Gazette will see, that all things are likely
to be arranged tightly:
WING NATIONAL Mass MEETING
We observe our Wing brethren Of Balti
more propose a mass convention of young
men TO be held in that city, simultaneous
y with the Wing National Convention;
we say simultaneously, because, the Wing
Convention TO nominate President and
Vice President would scarcely be organi.
zed on the second day. 1t had been pre-
vlously proposed to hold General Mass
Meeting in the city of Philadelphia, a
short time after the Wing Convention at
Baltimore have nominated their candi.
dates. There are good reasons why the
two meetings should be kept distinct, and
not interfere with each other, and by this
time The city of Philadelphia should be
designated as the place of holding the
mass meeting. 1t will be the largest po-
litical assemblage OF lreemen ever held,
and IT has received the sanction OF many
of our most judicious and distinguished
friends,

1t takes five bushels to the barrel, and

Wheat himself, and c,nnot tn relore say

THREATS For O'CoNNELL. The Lon
don STANDARD received by the last steam
err, contains the following:
"Mr. O'ConneIl proceeds with his theo-
retical constitution for lreland he has late
ly tax measures for issuing commissions
of the peace on his own authority. This
is all very wen while the matter rests in
theory. We have all heard of people
constructicely horsewhipped whe resented
the affront by consiructirely running the
assailant through the body, or shooting
him through the head. As Mr.. O'Cou-
nelI's high treason is at present only the
oretica, we can only hang him in theory
an amusement, however, in which we
can assure him great many indulge.
When, however, the incendary shall dare
to come into the matter OF fact when, il
ever, he shall dare TO apply his theories in
practice--ihen his treason being no long.
er theoretical, neither will the hanging be
theoretical. Let him claim bona tide au.
thority for his Parliament or his mags.
trates, and there is no reason to doubt that
bona jide cord and gibbet will be ready
for him.

We have to record one OF the most 5ar-
ing and atrocious murdsrs that has per.
haps ever tie perpttrated within tie
limits OF oUr city. 1t was committed on
Thursday night last a short time after
eight o'el.'ck, on the person OF a young
woman named Ann Maria Bnrk. eyed
twentyeighi years, nurse in the family
Of K. II. Moalr. Esq. residing in Frank
lin ST. betw Ell Cathedral and Park streets.
The deceased, il appears. left the house
'oi Mr.. Moale about eight O'Clock, inr the
purp Sc Of gong to The store Of Mrs.
Hahn, Mllliner, in Lexington street, on
business. On her way she stopped at The
residence Of Mr.. S. Poultney, Mulberry
street, opposite the Cathedral, where some
OF Mr.. NJ ,ale's children mad been spend.
ing the evening, TO say that she would &C
company them home On her return. She
then lett and proceeded on her way to the
millinery establishment as mentioned a
boye. About twenty minutes or half az
hour afterwards, a person rang tie bell OF
Mr.. Poultney's dwelling. A servant man
Immediately went 10 the door, on opening
which he was accosted by the deceased,
who was literally covered with blood.
She exclaimed that sh, hal been almost
killed By man who came up behind, ana
without saying worj, inflicted blows
upon her head. Whilst thus in CONVEX
sation, she PIT her fingers t, her mouth
and picked on, front tooth, which, to-
gether with the lover jaw. had been brok-
en- by enc Of the blows. Tue unloltu nate
girl was then taken in, and hal her
wounds dressed; after which, she was ac-
companitd to Mr.. Moale's and carefully
placed under Immediate medical aid.
Tie attack, it is supposed, WAS made
whilst she was crossing small alley on
Mulberry street, opposite the Cathedral.
No clue whatever has yet been had to the
lnhuman monster who committed the
dreadful deed. The presumption Is, the
unofiending deceased was mistaken for a.
mother, whom some fend had premedita.
ted killing. There were several bruises
and cuts on the face, one over the left
eye, and one on the mouth, which broke
the jaw bone and displaced sevral teeth.
The fatal blow, and immediate cause Of
d. ath, seemed to have been inflicted with
club on the back region of the head,
behind the right ear. This fractured the
skull, and drove part Of the bone into the
brain. The unfortunate young woman
suffered intense agony, though she con-
tnued rational until about twelve o'clock,
after which she began to sink rapidly,
and expired about four o'clock Friday
morning. She bore an excel, mt charac.
ter, had been in the lilly Of Mr.. Moale
over year, and was highly esteemed for
her amiab'e qualities
Several witnesses we're COLE d up Din
ing the inquest, all ef whom testified
most favorable OF The dec aseG, but could
an no way accoun, for h having been
thus attacked.
DR.. Perkins and DR.. Thomas Bucklcr,
wsre the physicians, who did every thing
skill could suggest, but With, ut effect.
An inquest was held over the body on
Friday morning by A. II. Greenfield.
Coroner, and verdict rendered that the
deceased came TO her death by blows in
ifcted by some one unknown 10 the jury.
