pressing demand for their TEAS Of late, that they
have been obliged to enlarge great extent their
two principal essablishnnents in New York, viz:
1875 CHATHAM AND 1873 GREENWICH

They moreover possess facilities, in relation to the
Tea Trade, in very abundant degree, and doubt
less superior to any other Tea Concern in America
Their scrupulous regard to all principles that tend
TO elevate the character Of large house. Is well un-
derstood and has already secured them connec-
ton, probably larger than all other Tea Establish
ments united and they consequently are determined
TO sell Teas purer, mare Jragrc't, and perfect to'

Health Of Towns.

Many influential men in England are uniting
for the purpose of securing sound and CON-
prehensve Sanitary Law. We hope they will
succeed. Such law would prove vastly bene-
fetal, and would doubtless lead to universal
adoption Of the same, or similar law, over the
civilized world.
AT one of the meetings in England, il wm sta
ted that from IL to $4,000 persons died annually
in London for want of proper Sanitary regula-
tons that ever 900 were thrown on bed,
Of sickness from the same cause. Full st,tisti-
cal returns showed, also, that 10000 died
throughout the country, and 100000, were
made i'll every year, through neglect in thi'
particular. The loss TO the nation was fourteen
millions annually Apart, then, from the suf-
fering, sorrow, and misery thus occasioned-
which should be the first and chief consideration
the mOnied policy, alone should induce every
people to have Sanitary laws.

thence Westward, and he will do some good.
Perhaps he has asked TOO much, to secure lesser

"a flood in Indianapolis. All the Houses
there under water! The Governor and Legis-
lature escaping in boats..! Terrible loss Of
property, and "terribIer'' loss of life, and one
Senator sick with the small-pok.!!p'
What's all this' We must confess we felt a
little alarmed, albeit, used to ''roorbacks,'' and
not unused 10 shocks, as we heard the announce
ment, and saw the strokes Of admiration. Nor
were we relieved until we came to the last SEN
tence. That explained the whole. We under
stood it TO read, in plain English, that the small
pox had broken out in Indianapolis, and that the
Legislature had broken up-1djourned-in u
panic.
Oh! how Punch might enjoy this scene! How
hash II up! We have heard of panics before.
There was one not long since in Thread needle
street, London, and the ways represented John
Bull-fat and pursy John-as in an enclosure,
and near the opening, but too arge to get out,
with regular bull, real ''haninal' close in
his rear, and his head down, as If there were no
escape. That was fix. But our Indiana Lee
gislators are not fat men; they are of the lean
kind; and what fence could have confined
them, not "eleven rails and rider" ifthe"smal-
Pox" had been near! truly we DOME believe the
Senators and Representatives are done running
yet. The next we shall hear Of them is, that
they are in Mexico, or Away off in Minnesota.
What capital special messengers they would
make! They would beat railroads and steam
ers "hollow." We fear they will set up
in opposition to the Magnetic Telegraph.

One Of those atrocious deeds which shock a
community occurred in our orderly city on last
Wednesday. II occurred near Ferguson's
Saw Mills, on the other side Of Beargrass-
We understand that negro man belonging to
Mr.. MATHEW FERGUSON, and employed by him
in his mills, who had been much INDUCED by
Mr.. F.'s family, refused to attend to some work
which he was ordered to do. Mr., DAVID FEEsu-
SON, the second son of Mr.. Matthew Ferguson
and another young man were sent to demonstrate
with the negro, and if he persisted in refusing,
to compel him to perform his duty. Before any
attempt was made to chastise him, the negro
drew large knife and suddenly plunged it in the
side Of young Mr.. f. lie then made his escape
TO raft in the river near the house, but before
doing so, he cut Mrs. FrRGUsoS, in both OF her
hands, quite severely. Mr.. M. FERsUsos inn
mediately procured shot gun and discharged il
at the negro, who was still on the raft. A few
Of the shot took effect in his face and neck, but
did not hurt him any OF Consequence. Young
Mr.. F. fell and expired in few moments after
receiving his wounds. He was mild, inoffen-
sive gentleman, and his untimely death will
cause deep sorrow TO bis many friends and rela-
tons.
The negro was arrested and placed in Jail,
where he awaits his trial.
There can be but one opinion in this or in
any comm unity, as to the imperious necessity
Of restraining the arm Of violence. Blood must
not be shed by any man, with inlpunity; the
slave first of all, must be taught to know that
he shall not spill IT, We cannot, while we pro-
tect, and seek to do justice TO the black man,
allow the thoughtto be entertained by him that
ne car lift his hand against society, or harm its
peace, or hurt single soul living in it. Our
safety, no less than his hopes, depend upon a
rigid and unyielding enforcement Of this prin-
ciPle ; for one, in private or in public, we will
not abate one jos or title Of it.

Some thirty-two persons had collected last
Monday in a house at Excelsior, Clermont coun-
ty, Ohio, to escape the food, and about 8 o'clock
in the evening, the building gave way and crush
ed to death seventeen of the number.
They were good men-MOses COsHel, who was
killed, was one Of the pure of the earth. We
have not list Of the sufferers. Few Of our read
ers would know them, if we had. Yet our ac-
counts speak of them, as men and women who
were serving their fellow beings faithfully, and
seeking to do good on earth. Their home, now,
is, heaven-fOr Of such, is it composed.
Tie house "was built, and particular pains
taken with the foundation" But in that neigh

damage than in almost any other. Other houses
were destroyed, though no further loss of life,

Infamous.

Fort Mann on the 25th ult., has been the
scene of hOrrid and most infamous out
rage.
From 20 to 100 Indians were seen approach
ing the Fort. The Chief was received cordially
by Capt Peltzer, and with number invited in.
When in, they were murdered in cold blood by
his orders, and those outside fired upon
Seven were killed inside and two wounded; ff-
teen or twenty were killed and wounded out
side
The effect of this atrocity may be most disas-
trOus. 1t may be the cause of general war,
and lead TO a wanton sacrifice Of life. The
Indian never fo-gets a wrong of this kind; he
will be revenged Congress ought to inquire
instantly into this brutal outrage, and see thai
the murderers are punished.
