4 great excitement was created in our
community yesterday, by reports Of a sui
eide and murders committed over the riv-
err in the course of the morning. The
facts. so far as we could learn them after
good deal OF inquiry. were these:-A
man named Rust or Rush. had been some
miles up the Licking River. and purchas-
ed Il negro man. his wife. and their child.
On aching Covington, for safety he lodg-
ed them in Jail till he could make arrange
ments with some steamboat TO pass over
for them and take them South. The man
and his wife had both opposed being sold;
and after having been purchased objected
TO going to Y. Orleans. or any other place
in the South. And it would seem that
while in jail at Covington. these objections
increasing, they determined on selt-des-
truction. At the wife's request. the hus-
band cut her throat. and then killed their
child. Both died. This done he cut his
own throat. but not SO as Immediately to
put an end 10 his life. About noon il was
thought he might survive. but an hour be-
fore dark his recovery was regarded as
impossible.
The act is horrible one. and its reci-
tai makes the blood run cold. But had a
slave in Rome, in the days of Roman
grandeur. under like circumstances COM
united like deed. tine fact would have
come down 10 us embalmed in classic his
tory. and been transferred thence TO our
school-books, to excite in them the adni-
ration Of our children-Cn. Gazette.

Lord Broughom.-This distinguished
British lord recently addressed a note to
the French Department of State. request
ing 10 be naturalized as a Frenchman.-
The French minister replied that he should
be very happy TO have so eminent a states
man and so noble a British lord become
French citizen-bu, that to become such
he would be obliged to abandon all titles
and orders of nobility. Lord Brousham
replied that he was willing to do so. so far
as his relations with France might be con-
cerned, but that he could not give up his
allegiance to the English government
The French minister replied that no man
could be a Frenchman and an English
man at the same time, that if q French
man he must cease TO be a nobleman-
The noble ''lord" then declined the hon
or of being French citizen; and has in
timated that his only object in seeking to
be naturalizcd by the French government
was to secure his property in France
The "noblc lord" manifested more inpu-
dencc than common sense.

Oil Of Mint.

We learn from letter from Mr.. Colfax.
Of the South Bend Register. that there is
very heavy and profitable business carried
on in the northern part Of our State. He
says:
''ln the vicinity Of Constantine we saw
the large fields SO recently filled with Mint
plants. and out of which their ProPrietors
have made such handsome profits. There
were in all about 6 900 acres planted with
it in a single township. which produced
about 90 lbs to the acre. Every farmer
who had considerable amount Of it, had
small still or press on his farm for the
purpose of pressing the oil from the leaves.
All who were concerned in it. | unders-
and. have made money by raising it. as
after setting on, the plants they need bu,
little attention excep, thinning them out as
they increased; many indeed havingmade
$50 per acre annually by their mint crops.

csrondcncc of the New York Tribune
Fay llsc Expenses Of Congress.


There must he radical reform in Congress, and
the best Me nb-rs concur III the epinion that the
reduction Of the pay is Indispensable. have no
hope ~ ithout it. Here are gathered great nunl-
Der OF real men of business-lawycrs in good
practice, merchants, manufacturers, extensive
p,.ptc ~ and thrifty farme re-, who earnestly de-
sire that the n aton's business shall h. promptly
despatched SO as to allow them to 60 home and
attic nd to theirs. But there is another class
noisy il not numerous, and enabled by the pres
ept Rules Of the House to control its proceed
inCs TO whom Washington is paradise. who
live CHER. drink freer, are of more consequence
and get more money here than they ever did or
ever will anywhere else. Many who here pock-
ct S,,ti per week and do the nearest to nothing
for il that eau well be conceived, would have to
look very sharp to pick up SO per week else
where. Now Just SO long the People will toll
crate the present exhorbitant rates Of pay, this
kind Of Members will spin out Sessions and pre-
vent any thing brin. done. And the fault is not
90 much in their necessities, their covetuousness
OF their shiftiiuess. in the shirk ing Incidence
and carrleesness Of the People who Will not
force the remedy.
The mileage is a still less excus.hic abominn-
ton. Texas sends h:hcr two Senators and two
Rcpresen who receive in addition TO their
Vay, some $500 each, every session for merely
cou5ing here and going away again, & would
sooner pay them twic the money to stay away
-lO,OVO in al, for travelling expenses which
NOT actually 81 900. Arkansas will take $500
out Of the Treasury this year merely fer the trav-
si OF her Senators. W hen we come to have
members from Oregon aud California, We shall
have to negotiate loan expressly to pay the
mileage OF the members.
Nobody prctends to justify this, and yet il de-
hes cvery chorttO reform IL A member starts
up from Bangor, and comes here in some two
days and hall, paying some S25 and pocketing
$3.50 clear profit. Coming from Galena or Chi
cago, or hatcher. or Little Rock he will clear
from % TO $50 per day, lounging on steamboat
and living like prince. or he takes the cars at
Auburn in the morning, has capital nights
sleep the North River, and awakes in New
York, having in cuc day cleared over Si20.-
Does any body i,nsgine that those who make
money like this will carefully watch the Treas
nry against the inroaGs Of others!
