the best material, and the most approved patterns
are employed and the proprietor designs that the
reputation of his establishment shall be determln-
ed and sustained by the superior quality of his
gins They will be furnished to purchasers at the
most convenient points on the river, above or be-

MURDER IN THE New JERSEY STATE
PRIsoN.-A very trustworthy, industrious
and orderly. prisoner, named Sherman,
was put in the cell with one Cox, half
crazy fellow, who was sick and required
attendance. Sherman slept with him on
Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday
nights, during which time Cox was de-
lighted with the arrangement, and SO ex-
pressed himself to the keeper. On Mon
day morning, as Sherman was lying
asleep with his lace towards Cox, the
latter drew sharp knife suddenly and
violently from the back part OF Sherman's
neck, cutting the muscles, several small
veins, and the internal jugular vein. Mr..
Aiken, one of the keepers, on his round
went to the cell about sunrise. Sherman
attempted to reach the door, and fell,
crying, "Oh. MIR. Aiken"' Cox was in
corner of the cell. Sherman being
unable to walk, mattresses Were procured,
and he was conveyed to another cell.
DR.. Coleman was sent for, who sewed
up the wound. He continued to sink
under the effects of the injury, and died
about half-past 10 o'clock the same morn
ing. MIR. Gaddis went into Cox's cell,
after Sherman had been removed, and
said to him, "You wretched man, what
have you done!" Cox was completely
naked, and was wiping the blood off his
arm, and said to Mr. Gaddis, ooh, Mr..
Gaddis, all this blood will be on you at
the day of judgment-this man was to
kill me this morning. knew it, Cox
used to shave the keepers, until some of
his singular freaks arrested their atten-
ton, and induced belief of his insanity

have been but to we'll founded. The

CIVIL ENGINEERING

Will be thoroughly and practically taught in
the Western Military Inslitute-the Professor,
Col. Morgan, being one of the most sklful and
experienced Engineers in the United States. All
the instruments connected with that department
have been procured considerable cost, and Of the
best quality.
The Superintendent takes the liberty of stating
that he is offered Ss75 per month, for COM
petent assistant Engineers. One of his former
pupils receives at this time, So, 500 per annum, as
Principal Engineer of railroad now under con-
structon in Kentucky-whilst others of the same
class are receiving in different parts of the United
States, $4,000, 81 500, or 81 200 year as As
slstant Engineers.
The time is rapidly approaching when there
will be great demand for such as have been pre-
pared, for that vocation. at the Western Military
Institute. Nothing is hazarded in saying that
they will readily command $1,000 or 5 500 per
annum. Every man of observation must see that
the gigantic enterprises already proposed, will give
birth to hundreds of others, tributary to them.
The rapid advancement of our whole country, and
the eagerness of our people for exploring the hid
den resources of the new States and the newly
acquired territory, will give ample scope for ages
to come, to the skill and enterprise of the Engi-
neer, the Geologst, the Mineralogst, the Surveyor
and the Architect. Young men who have an
ATTITUDE for the Mathematical and Physical SCI
ences, will have a wide field opened to them fer
engaging in an honorable, health(ul and Iucra-
tive pursuit, for which they may be thoroughly
and practically qualified, in short time, and at
