Extraordinary and Horrid .Nprder.-The
Maumee River Times of the Sd inst, con-
tains all account of murder shocking to
think of, committed upon small child of
Mr.. Schamp, five years old. living in the
vicinity Of West Unity, Williams county,
Ohio, on the Goth ult. The substance of
the narrative is as follows:
A man calling himself Andrew F. Ty-
Ter, a pretended fortune teller, came into
West Unity and commenced telling for
tunes. On Sunday Mr.. Schamp missed
his little boy, whom he and his neighbors
turned out to find. On the three succeed.
ing days the search was continued, on the
last of which three hundred men joined in
it, when, not discovering him, suspicious
arose that he had fallen into violent hands,
and rested on young man II years Of
age, named Hickerthorn. On being CUES.
toned, he confessed that he had decoyed
the child into the woods, poisoned it with
poisoned candy furnished him by Tyler
hid it in hollow tree, and proceeded
forthwith to show the place gifts conceal
ment. On his examination before the cor
oner's jury, he said he had been employed
BY Tyler to commit the deed, as we'll as
others of the same horrii nature. The
object of this diabolical deed appears to
have been to make money in the art OF for
tune telling, by giving information of lost
childeen, &C., after all other means had
been tried in vain,
Tyler, Heekerthorn, and another sup
posed accomplish, were arrested.

Col. Harvey.

Capt. Henry, Of the 9th Infantry, gal
liant officer who has fought in every bat
tie since the Mexican campaign opened,
except that Cicero Gordo, in letter to
the New York Spirit Of the Times, gives
description Of the personal appearance
and qualities of the dashing and intrepid
Harvey, which we are satisfied our read
ers WI! be gratified TO see. He says:
Sandy hair, very '::ssht complexion, a
frank, generous expression Of countenance,
form perfect in symmetry, wiliiopt one
particle Of snperfuous flesh, fit ''to run for
mans life,'' in the prime Of manhood,
with a mild but determina,e blue eye. and
you have him standing before you. Mount
him on his noble charger, excite that blue
eye, until it almost scintillates, and give
animation to that form until it appears to
expand, and you have one of the most gal
liant, dashing cavalry officers in any SER
vice. He is man Of an iron will, and if
necessary Of desperate courage. As par
tizan officer, he is conspicuous. deem
him the best in the service. Like all
men Of such temperament, he is warm,
devoted friend and bitter enemy. Think
OF his towering form carrying his Brigade

accounts represent him as conspicuous,

The Forest Funeral.

Solemn Passion night thrilled through the
soul Of countless waiting worshippers.-
But never felt SO near to God and near
to Heaven as on the banks Of the river on
a calm Sunday morning, when the thous-
and voices of the forest were united in a
hymn. There is melody in running wa
ter that is never initiated or equalled by
any art: and there is strange harmony be-
yond the sounds of running water, and
rushing wind, and singing birds, and the
voices of the various wood animals, that
altogether make up the morning song Of
the forest when it wakes to praise theIn-
finite.

Hate and Love.
BY GEORGE HEARrwELL.

/ hate the hands that bind me down,
To pompous, heartless form;
The studied words, the soundless thought,
All groyelling as the worm;
The base deceit, the deaden'd soul,
The hollow-hearted tone;
The careful smile and measured step,
All heartless as a stone.
1hste the hand which warmly grasps
When the heat within is cold
MARK the earnest gaze and wiling tongue!)
Such friendships bought alcd sold,
Ihate the fend that wilt dash the cup
In which hopes blessings glow,
And then will pierce the burden'd heart,
And gaze on the crimson flow.
But love the man with feeling soul
Whose passions are deep and strong;
Whose chords, when touched by kindred
power.
Will vibrate loud and long:
The man whose word is bond and law
Who ne'er for gold or power
Would kiss the hand that would stab the heart
In adversity's trying hour.
| love the man that will dare to lift
His voice for the struggling poor;
The man that will open hisheart, nor close
Against the beggar his door.
Or! give me heart that will firmly stand
When the storm begins to lower
A hand that will never shrink, if grasped
In misfortune's darkest hour.

A Deed of Horror.

A New York paper publishes the details of
| most horrible discovery of the dead body of
female in the river opposite that city some
time since The body was that of fair and
elegant young lady, about nineteen years of
age of surprising beauty. Even in death the
features of her countenance were expressive
of the utmost female loneliness. That she
belonged to the higher class of society was
also evident from all the appearance which
accompanied her. Her linen was of the finest
and most delicate texture, her skin fair and
beautiful as alabaster, and around the bust
was pair OF corsets of the most expensive
kind, and richly embroidered. Her frock was
of rich silk, and had evidently been torn by
violence in shreds from her person. Long
ringlets of beautiful soft hair hung dishevel.
led over her now melancholy face, and hung
down upon her finely proportioned shoulders.
Such form, of such fair proportions and
elegant make, with countenance so fair and
lovely, is seldom seen, or when seen is the
object of surprise and admiration. She had
evidently been abused in manner that makes
one shudder, and then brutally murdered in
the most heartless and cruel manner, and
afterwards thrown into the river. Her feet
were fast bound together by silk handker-
chief tightly tied around them, and on lifting
her up, the parting hair as it fell on one side,
disclosed large wound and CHASTITY aperture
on the bach part Of her finely shaped head.
No discovery has yet been made of the
perpetrators of this appalling murder. No
doubt some mourning and fond parents are
still dsconsolate and weeping at the disap-
pearance of their beloved child, little dream.

fallen her, and, perphaps their feelings har-

and beautiful girl were deposited, as we have
been informed, some time back, with indif,
ferent carelessness, to an unknown and un-
noticed grave, by the poor house at Williams
burgh.

What street in London puts you in mind Of

When should you apply sovereign remedy

with all connected with it remained just where
it was, while the earth and its inhabitants
sank away from us, and left US suspended
stationary betwixt earth and heaven. The

scenery that bursts forth it would be in vain
