HORRIBLE CAsE.-In the London Times
of The 81. we find volurninous reporl OF
a trial of woman named Mary Ann Geer,
ing for depriving her husband and TWO sons
of existence, and attempting the same
crime on the person Of third son,-and
all that the miserable wretch nigh, obtain
from Death Club the few palIry shiIlinss
that remain over aud above when the char
ees Of the burial had been dlsbursed. A
darker picture Of human depravily it would
be difficult to parallel. Poison was The
means employed To consurnmate the deed :,
and that The only objecl the mdrdercss had
in view was The money accruing from The
Buriai Club, is abundan,ly proven by the
evidence eliciled on The trial. The jury
were out only about ten minutes. when
they returned with verdict Of gnilfy, after
which the judge put on the black cap aud
passed sentence Of death upon the prisoner,
who was removed from he bar apparent
ly very lille affected at her awful position.

Are they put in al that place. or do they

are important questions and The correct

ELEcrR1cAL APPAnATus.-Mr. Cheva-
lier. who has paid considerable attention
10 electric phenomena, has hrous hi 10 per-
fec,ion an apparatus. which. early as the
days OF Franklin was suggested by some
Of the experimenlalists, Ivy whose means
an electric shock can be conveyed at a
considerable distance, even .hrous whole
line Of individuals. II is of SD small Il
compass that it can be carried in the pnc'
kel; by means Of a string thrown from il
amidst flock Of sheep. twelve fell down.
As the shock may be so violent rs to cause
instantaneous death, without the hand OF
the perperraor being visible or recoenisa-
BILE, the discovery is rathera mischeveus
than useful one.

The HAPPY GIRL -Ay, she is a happy
girl. we know BY her fresh looks and houy
AMI spirits. Day in and day out she has
something 10 do, aud she takes hold of
work as il she did not fearro soil her hands
or dirty her apron. Such girls we lave
and respect wherever we find then,-in q
palace or q hove. Always pleasan! and
always kind, they never turn up their
noses before your face. or SANDER you be-
hind your back. They have more good
sense and better employment. What are
nirls and hustle bound girls in comparison
with these? Good for nothing but to
look AT; and that israher disgusting. Give

you charter a ship at New Orleans, and
load her prin cipally with the articles

you cannot fail clearing at the least 100

stories high, for Hotel. lie has now
added 10 IT, making it GO feet by ST.,

that he will find that, much too small to

In this connection, let me say, if your

your brother will pay cash for them at

COMMISSIONER OF INDIAN AT
EARS. AT WASHINGTON.

We have seen letters Of late date
from Washington, which induce the
belief that JonN G. MILLER, Esq, Of
Boonville, will receive the appointment
OF Commissioner of Indian Affairs al
Washington.
We are exceedingly rejoiced to hear
this, because it gives Missouri Wings q
resident organ at Washington, through
which to communicate with the gov
eminent, which they have never had
and because Mr.. Miller is a man wei
qualified TO discharge the duties of the
station, and his appointment would be
hailed with applause by every Wing ir
the State who knows him.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs, OF
Commissioner of the General Lane
Office, could, with great propriety be
given 10 Missouri; most of the Indian
tribes are on our frontier, and the Land
Department particularly belongs TO q
Western State. We trust Mr.. Ewing
will consider the condition of this State
in disposng of these Offices; that we
have no member of Congress; no resi-
dent person at Washington from our
State through which to communicate;
while as a State she is certainly emit.
tied to an office of this grade.

JUST us we are going 10 press, we

letter from very respectable gentle
man in San Francisco to his brother in

indebted for the opportunity of laying
before our readers the latest intelligence

SAN Francisco, Feb. 20.
DEAR B. Since my arrival here on
the 18th inst, not less than nine large
vessels have arrived, and lots of people.
But for the god region, the accounts
from which just received represent the
sufferings of the people there to be
great. Many have died and many more
will follow The disagreeable and rainy
season does no, end until the month of
April.
GAS may be supposed, everything is
anarchy and confusion; or, in other
words, every one does as he pleases and
takes care of himself.
commodore Jones has gone on an
expedition up the bay, in the South.
ampton,' with a view of ascertaining
how far the navigation is practicable for
large vessels.
"Real estate here is as dear as il is in
Broadway-at least, as much is asked:
but there are no houses in the place af.
lording any comforts, and no person to
put them up.
"As high an interest as five per cent.
per month has been paid for money,
hypothccatng real estate which cost
500 year ago, and now worth So.
600 and the like.
"a great deal you hear from the
gold region is, of course exaggerated;
Out oelleVe It's richness surpasses any.
thing yet heard of. Indeed, if all re.
ports be true, the whole earth is mixed
with it for hundreds of miles, the ex.
tent of which has not yet been ascer.
tanned, and there cannot be scarcity
of the article thousand years to come.
Gold has risen in value to sl4 so q
SIS; and il is not likely TO go down.
There is not much, however, in the
market; and next fall there will be
an immense quantity brought in.
"P. S.--The measles are killing all
the inhabitants of the Sandwich Is
lands; 10000, it is reported, have died
Our commissioner has struck his flag,
and is at loggerhcads, with the Kankaka
government. Com. Jones, believe will
go over there"
