CRUEL BUT SINGULAR ExPERIMENT.-A COM
munication in the Charleston Courier states that
sometime since buzzard was caught in Missouri
and its eyes ripped open with aw so that no part
Of the ball remained. The head of the bird was
then put under its wing; in few moments the bird
shook his wings, gradually drew out its head, and
its eyes were found as sound as eper This is
said 10 have been repeated at least fifty times, and
always with the same result The d0Vn on the in
side of the wing is said to be cure for blindness
Major John PLIERS who is said TO have been the
operator in the case, has made affidavit stating
Il am the individual alluded TO in the above COM
municaton, and that the facts stated therein, SO far
as am concerned, are true in every particular
The experiment Of ripping open the buzzard's eyes
during the time we kept it, from February until
May, was repeated, dare say, fiity times; and
once, at a log rolling, ten times in one day. An
old African Negro, belonging TO Mr. F. Vall, Senr
of ST. Genevieye, named Joseph, Though supposed
to be upwards of one hundred years old,) first told
me oft, and have tried il frequently since, on
different buzzards, with the same result This
same negro told me that the feathers could not be

may try it in any way and scald IT, and you cannot
pull out a her.'-Aflas.

MURDER IN SHREwsBuRy.-A coroner's inquest
was held in Shrewsbury, on Monday, on the body
ofGeorge Blown. II appears from the evidence
before the jury, that Brown, who was about eighty
years Of age resided alone in his small house. situ-
ated in the south part Of the town. On Saturday
night, Indian, named Braixel Mann, with his
vile, came TO Browns and remained there through
the night. II seems they had jug Of rum, of
which they all drank TO beasty intoxication. In
the morning, Mann's wife went to one ofthe neigh
bors, and remained Till her husband came after her.
when they returned to Browns and, as they testify,
had something to eat, and again left the house.
Manns wife returned between four and five o'clock,
and, Immediately aier gave the alarm TO the neigh
bors, that Brown dead. He was found with
his head and arms upon his bed, face downwards,
with his knees resting on the floor. He was then
cold and stiff, and it the opinion Of physician,
who happened to be passing and was called in that
he must have been dead four or FIVE hours. There
was a large wound back of his ear, which appeared
to have been made with club or some other blunt
weapon. and which, the examining physicians pro-
nounced the cause of his DEATH There was also a
smaller wound on his elbow. The testimony of the
Indians was very confused and contradictory, and
it was very evident that the man, at least had been
drunk that he could not tell and probably did not
know, at the time, what he was about. He iesi-
fed that he had not been away from Browns DUR
ing the day, and that Brown and he drank together,
within fifteen minutes of the time that Brown was
found. The verdict OF the jury was, that Brown
came TO his death by blow received upon his
head.
We understand that the Indian and his wife
were discharged at the close Of the investigation

Miraculous Escape.

An English paper, the Western Times, relates
the following incident;
Budleieh Salterton has been the scene Of most
thrilling incident Six infant children on Wednes-
day morning, got into boat on the beach, and a
mischieyous boy showed il Off The boat drifed
away TO sea before the children we're missed. Ter
rible was the agony OF the mothers when they knew
it. The preventive men went of in all directions
every boat was on the look out till into night
Daylight returned, and still there was no tidngs of
the helpless children the day wore away and still
nothing was heard Of them-they we're lost either
in the expanse Of the wide ocean, or buried within
its Unsuitable depths. A Plymouth trawler on Fri
day morning early, while fishing saw something
floating at a distance he bore down to il and dis
covered il to be boat-and in the bottom six chill
dren Gu died together like nest of birds, fast
aslee p.God having mercifally given them that bes
ted solace after day Of terror and despair u Ths

with promise to take them home. Between three
or four in the afternoon the trawler in the
ofing with the boat sstern. All eyes we're turned
towards him; the best spy glass in the town was
rubbed again and again, and ut last they made out
it the identical boat. The news flew through
the town-the mothers came frantic TO the beach,
for there were no children discerned in the boat

ny Of suspense, and all alike shared il with the pa
rents AT last the uawler came in, and the word
went round they're all safe," and many stout
hearted men burst into tears, women shrieked with
Joy and became almost frantic with their insuppor-
table happiness. II was indeed a memorable day.
and prayer eloquent for its rough sincerity, was
offered up TO Almighty God who in his infinite
mercy, had spared those innocent children from the
perlls and terrors Of the sea during that fearful
night. Five Of these children were under five
years OF age, the sixth is but nine years old.

The Slare Question.-The Louisville Democrat,
the Locofoco organ in that city, tries 10 be very hard
on the Wing party, and among other things says:
"The Wings have agitated the subject of Slavery.
II is only Wings who have proposed 10 do il here.
The whole thing is Wing all over. Not single
Democrat has proposed TO discuss the matter Of
gradual emancipation"
We thank the Democrat for such testimony, albeit
is done TO cast stigma upon us. True, the subject
of freedom from oppression, and the extension of true
liberty is Wing all overt and it is just true that
the Locooco party is wholly and entirely given up TO
Slavery, willing discuss the SUBJECT of gra-
dual emancipation. II is, as Mr. Buchanan says, the
only and great ally Of Slavery They welcome TO
all the advantages which such "bad emnence'' gives
them.-Piisburg Gazette.

ccriain-he cannot get anything like the
majority in this county he did before
The Times thinks there is gentleman
in Queen Anne's that would do as well
as any one else-weli we are not rigAi
sure that there is not, but it is probable
that each county will have its favorire -
However, there will be no difficulty, al!
will be done harmoniousy, and the nomi

We propose Wednesday, the 30th day
Of July, as the proper time to held the

for the canvass. Each county car choose
its delegates, at any previous convenient
time. shai! the number agree with The
