Fraudulent Law.

Considerable excitement existed, at
the last dates, at Peru, Miami county,
Indiana, in consequence Of an attempt
having been made 10 enter, under a law
of late Legislature, large number OF tue
farms and improved lands OF persons who
had purchased canal lands from The state
of Indiana. 10 the course Of the session
il appears that the Legislature suffered TO
pass, without particular examination,
Law, under which all persons who have
neglected to psy ibelr interest on canal
i.nds, are liable TO have them entered as
forfeited lands. An attempt was mate
by large number Of persons to enter
lands nnder this law. The popolace 10
lie vicinity, consid dering the law at var'-
;; ance with Justice, and operating so as 10
depr,ye the settlers OF the value OF their
hard earnings, their homes, and their i'm
provements, Immediately congrega'sd' ;
repaired to the land office. aud put stop
TO the further proceedings. An express
was Immediately sent to Indianapolis,
calling on the Governar 10 protec, Tue
settlers from the merciless raPacity o'
those WHO were despoiling them Of thei'
possessions. The Governor. without de-
lay, despatched a letter superintenden
of the Wabash and Erie Canal, who II
also superintendent of the Land Office
directing that the Office be iiRmediatei!
closed TO all entries under the aforesaid
law, aud characterizing 'hs law asa ira"'
upon The public, surrep'itiously carries
through The Legislature. without prop
or understanding of lis bearings.

AnArka4s sas tragedy.

On Tue nlght oI the ~Su hi', W"s' w"
ardly murder was perpetrated ON the wife
.of Shadrick Nichols aud their daughter
aged eight jears. and a son four years old,
on Hickory Ridge, a short distance from
Helena, Ark, while MIR. Nichols vas on
hunting expedition. Suspicion fell on
Melton, a tsilow boy, belonging TO Mr.
bow man, who is near neighbor of MIR.
Nichols. The boy was brought to town
aud lodged in jail. where he confessed his
guilt. We let the Helena Journal tell the
rest Of this dreadful talk:
The boy stated that he first went to the
house Of Mr.. Nichols week ago last Mon.
day, louked through the window aud saw
| that Mrs. Nichols had nut retired but was
sitting up, engaged in sewing. He then
returned home, and after waiting some
time, no that she could be asleep he again
went, and murdered her; breaking her
skull witlfa board, and then killed the two
children because they awoke! There were
still two children in the house, one aoont
eight wears old a daughter off Sebastian,
ESQ, and niece Of the lady murdered, and
the other a little son of Mr.. Nichols. The
6eud then passed his hand over the faces
T, OF these two, to see il they were awake.
= The boy was still asleep, and he supposed
the little girl was also, as she moved not
bn, in this he as mistaken, as The niue
child had the courage and presence ol
nd enough to lay perfectly stili. watch
her opportunity and slip from the bed and
escape to her fathers house, which was not
yer, far, aud gave the alarm. Before any
one reached the house, however, the as
sassin had fed.
But the most hellish part remains yet Il
, be told. THIS incarnate hell hound ravish
, ed the lady after breaking her skull! Hare
, as this is to believe, it 10 no fiction, OF
mere phantom Of the imag ination: woul'
to God i, was! The dead body was exsmin
ed by ladies, and lie above is the erdic
rendered to the corner,
The people on Hickory Ridge on hear
' ing all the facts became furious. The or
Of burn the murderer ran from one to th
g other. They suddenly became calm, az
/. tcrmined and resolute as to their purpose
= which must have been still more awful
q the murderous wretch, could he have ot
d served il. They armed themselves VII
