Horrible Murder.

An extra from the Columbia (Pa) Spy, dated
3 o'clock, p. NJ, Wednesday last, gives the fol-
lowing particulars Of mos, horrible murder, per
pctra,ed in that town.
The citizens of orr quiet town were
greatly shocked by the discovery, within
an hour, Of the preparation of as revolving
a murder as the records of viliainy dis
close. A German laboring woman name
unknown, has for some lime past occupl-
ed small building situated near the low
er corner Of Third street in the neighbor.
hood OF Tow Hill negro quarters. She
was last seen n week or ten days ago
but as she was frequently engaged abroad
as a washcr-woman her prolonged absence
excited but little remark. To-day, how
ever, the neighbors having broken open
the door Of her house, saw a large bundle
of bed clothes lying on the floor, which
on being raised up presented a CHASTITY
sight.
The body Of the unfortunate woman

in two places, and in addition large gasl
extended from the right angle of the
mouth. The body Of this miserable vic
TIM of lust or avarice has probably beer
lying in this condition for at least one, ant
perhaps two weeks.
A coroner's jury has just been held
and post norton examination made by
Drs. Cochran and McCorklc. Who wa'
the author Of this revolving murder. o
what the motive, Is al present mystery
nor do we know what suspicion attache

was about 30 wears old, and lived alone
and although laboring for living, i. wa
supposed she possessed considerable mo

A foul murder is supposed 10 have been
committed near At,ica, in Fountain cOun-
~, Ind. on Tuesday or Friday last. a
citizen of that county, named Burnett,
had been 10 Atllca on business, having in
possession, rs we learn, considerable
amount Of specie which. as he drank
rather freely he was not back ward in ex-
hibiing. Towards evening he mounted
his horse and started for home, but before
proceeding far he was shot through the
heart, and robbed. His body was no,
found until sometime the day following
II was a short distance from the road, but
in So public place as to render il ques.
tionable, in the minds of some, whether
i, could be possible that any one would
have dared to commit so foul deed where
the probabilities of detection were so
great. The deceased was in the habi, OF
carrying a pistol, which was found lying
near his body, having no load in it.
From this circumstance, il is barely pos
si6le, tina, he may have taken his own lie;
hut the fact that the money was missing,
renders such supposiilon very improba-

Tie M,qoui.--From the official statement it
seems that the Z. :. Steamer Missouri caught fire
in this way: A coal-heaycr named Sutton, in at
tempting to get pair Of beam scales in the En-
ginccrs storc-room, knocked down wrench,
which fell and broke demijohn containing spirits
of turpcnlinc which ran through and fell upon
the canvass around the steam chest. Another man
named Cum, who was below with lamp, think
ing it was water, attempted to wipe it up--when
the spirits falling upon his lamp took fire, the felt
caught, aud in an instant the flooring Of the store
room above was in flames.

The October number of the Democratic
Review contains the following :-"ln the
western states, at the opening of spring,
the farmers, although possessed OF good
stocks, were not disposed to accep. the
extreme low prices then current, In May
and June, the accounts from abroad gave
an impulse TO the prices, which brought
forth stock aud stimulated trade. In the
valley of the Illinois, in particular. wheat
was at 80 a 35 cents, and farmers would
not part with their stock ; when the rate
rose to 81 So cents, extensive sales I'M
media,ely took place. The proceeds
passed from the farmers into the hands OF
the store keepers, who were thus, in a
great measure Unexpectedly placed IN q
position To make their accustomed visits
to the seaboards. and both in New York
and sister ciues the presence of Illinois
traders has been both welcome and pro-
ilahle. No class of dealers stand in bet

Curious FaciS.-Two curious philosophical
facts are stated on the authority Of the foreman OF
the ropcwak in the navy yard at Charestown.
One is that, if you heat tar, such as they use tor
their cables, 100 degrees above boiling heat, you
may dip your hand in it with perfect IMMUNITY,
aud they are in the constant habit of doing SO,
The other is, that the ea,hcrn straps coming from
the engine and working the machinery are highly
charged with electricity. BY standing upon u
nonconiucting body, and holding the fingers over
the straps pretty close you become charged with
the electric iuld and can give out sparks from
the clcctriiyng machine.

y.,r Paper system.

In the following brief paragraph, which occurs
in the letter Of Mr. Van Buren, to the democratic
state convention of Indiana, 1t appears to us, the
evils resulting from the "mnnuincture Of paper
money" are more graphically and forcibly presen-
ted than we have ever before seen them presented
IN so few words:
The manufacture Of paper money has been al
tempted 10 every form; It has been tried by indi-
yduals been Transferred to corporations 10y the
states, then to corporations by congress engaged
in by the states themselves aud has sgualy fail
cd in ALL II has, in general, proved not the hand
maid of homes, industry and well regulated enter
prise, bat the pampercd mental OF speculation,
deness, and fraud. 1t has corrupted men Of the
highest standing; almost destroyed the confidence
of mankind in each other and darkcncd our cri-
minal calender with names that might otherwise
have conferred honor and benefit on the country.
There is ground for believing that such a
system must have some innate inCunhle defect
Of which no legislation can divest it, and against
which no human wisdom can guard, or human in.
tegrty sustain itself.

have home market, and Ivy another season the

equal TO any in the country. Tho ST. Louis
market being good this season, has enabled the
merchants of Peru to do irst-rato business. On
Saturday las. upwards of 900 bushels were pur-
chased at that place, and the town is daily crow

are also doing good business in this line. We
