Riot and Murder.

The usual quiet of our city, or direct neigh
borhood, has been disturbed by riot, ac-
companied with loss oflife. On New Years
night, German Ball was given at the pub
lie house of Mr.. Riddle, kept at the lower
end of Texas, or Lamasco. The ball was
given by and exclusively for Germans. The
riot occurred at this ball, and we give the
particulars as they have reached US through
the more authentic sources, rema rking, how
ever, that there are many other versions of
the affair.
A supper had been prepared in the lower
story with much care A party Of men ,prin-
cipally from steamboats, lying at the landing,
wished 10 enter the ball. and partake of the
supper, and were refused. A row took place,
in which the tables were demolished, and
much injury done the property of the house
The rioters withdrew, and commenced sto-
ming the house. A number of pistol shots
were fred in the melee. A young man
named Lundy Burns, son of DR.. Burns of
this place, received several wounds, from
which he died the same night. A deck hand
from the steamer Aleck Scott, was also shot
and stabbed and died yesterday morning
A German had his arm almost shot off, and
was otherwise wounded. A number of 9TH
crs on both sides received serious injuries
Yesterday morning the ground below the
house in a certain place was sprinkled with
blood, and tracks led to the river bank as if
body had been dragged to the edge and
thrown in. The body of young Burns was
clothed in number of garments, as ifhe had
anticipated row.
The Coroner's jury sat yesterday after
noon. We have not heard the verdict. This
is an affair of serious nature. The proper
authorities should give it a close investiga-
ton.

Our Hotels.

Evansville, at this time, stands very much
in need of fine Hotel-one which from its
size, superiority Of Recommendations, and style,
would afford favorable comparison with
those of larger cities. The Sherwood House
and Exchange Hotel, so far as we know, are
kept in as good style as they can be with
their limited accommodations but they are
not large enough for their patronage, 1t is
understood, however, that a large Hotel will
be erected next summer at the corner of Lo-
Gust and Water streets, by a company. The
situation is favorable, and the enterprise, if
rightly carried out, will prove profitable.
The Exchange Hotel has recently changed
hands. Mr.. Drew has retired into the shades
and quiet happiness of private life and is su-
perceded by Messrs. Rouse & Goblin, Of Hen
derson, KY. They are experienced in their
business, and know how to make the travel
er as well as regular boarders, perfectly at
home. Mr.. Peter Burk still maintains the
character of the Sherwood House as an ex-
cellent establishment, and occasionally shines
out in glorious dinners. We can confidently
say, from full appreciation of all the $ deli
cacies of the season. as served up at his table,
seasoned always by an excellent appetite, that
Mr.. Burk, with his able assistant Mr.. Joe
Glasgow, gets up eatables IN style not to
be surpassed by the most favored city hotels.
On New Years Day, as he had done sever
al days previous, he served up Turkies stuff
ed with oysters, Grouse and other game.
touched up with pine apples oranges, cham
paigne, &c. Being, as friend remarks, a
great absorber of victuals, we lose no occa-
sion of gratifying our epicurean propensities
but we have yet to realize better dinners
than are as a general thing served up at the
compassion" for all such enterprise.

EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE FROM DEATH.-
The following strange story is related in
the Baton Rouge Gazette (extra) of the 8th
INST:
A very singular or rather extraordinary es-
cape from death occurred to one of the deck
hands OF the Magnolia on her last trip up
from New Orleans. The man alluded to was
sitting ON the bow of the boat asleep.when
be fell overheard and slipped under the
boat; the next minute he was picked up by
the paddle Of the wheel, and safely and
without injury deposited in the wheel house.
So suddenly was all this done. that he woke
up very much astonished at the cold bath he
had undergone, but entirely ignorant.until in
formed, of the curious revolution and fearful
escape from death through which he had
passed.

FINE Show WINDow.-Mr Hannah cele-
brated New Years Day, by opening a spIen-
did show window, especially designed for
the display of his fine stock OF Hats and Caps.
He keeps Hats in connection with his Boot
and Shoe Store, which he obtains from three
of the most extensive establishments in the
West. His show window is worthy of in
spection. Mr.. Defoe's Hat store show win
dow, and Mr.. Hannah's, are the only great
windows in town, although FarrelPs Contec-
tionary 'looms out" prodigiously, offering fol
public admiration, whole menagerie of su-
gar animals, besides fine display of other
sweet things.

A MONSTER WEDDING.-There was re
Gently, in country town near Prague, a
monster wedding. No less than fifteen Jew
ish couples were married in one day; and the
solemn ceremony was witnessed by their
children and grandchildren. The following
is the solution of the enigma: Hitherto, the
number of Jewish families permitted to live
in Bohemia was limited by a cruel law to
eight thousand: hence large number OF
clandestine marriages had taken place among
the Jews. Since however, the emancipation
of the Jews became the law of the land, and
these oppressive restrictions as to marriage
were removed, many of the couples who had
been cladestinely married were anxious to
have their marriage ENTHUSIASTICALLY acknowl-
edged, and their children legitimatised. This
explains the marriage of fifteen old couples in
one day.

REcovERING.-The Journal office is again
raising its head, and shaking its dripping

ment of our editorial columns Mr.. Burk. Of

The Message. &c,

President Taylor's Message has now been
read almost throughout the whole county,
We have heard but one expression of opinion
that it is an able document, and as near
what Presidents message should be, as any
document which ever came from an Execu-
tive. Even the Democrats find no fault with
it. 1t reads like Gen. Taylor, and that is
enough to say it is firm, sound, and to the
point. Gen. Taylor thus far has shown him
self equal to every emergency presented in
his position. The Democrats before his cleo
ton, pronounced him incompetent good
General, but totally untitled for the Presiden-
cy. The People declared this false, and that
he was worthy of the distinguished honor
And since he has taken his seat, although he
has in an hundred cases proved himself true
to the trust reposed in him by the people, and
abundantly competent, to properly fill it, yet
bitter Democratic sheets have assailed him
and ridiculed the Administration on every oc-
casion. Of course this was expected, but we
warn Wings not to be deluded by these at
tacks into the belief that Taylor and the Ad-
ministration are not doing their duty and
their whole duty. The country was never in
a more prosperous condition. This proves
that the Administration is working WE'LL
We are at peace with all nations, and the
honor of the country is untarnished at home
and abroad. Every thing about the nation
prospers-and yet, If you would believe Dem
ocrat Editors, the President is incompetent,
and his Cabinet warning against the inter
ests of the nation. Who will believe this !?

A Boston correspondent of the Republic
says The verdict of the coroner's Jury asser-
ting the fact of the killing of Dr. Parkman by
Professor Webster, will be found to be very
cautiously woIded. Enough of the evidence
before them has leaked out to convince the
public that the presumptlve grounds against
the Professor are almost irresistible. For
some days before the public developments in
regard to his implication, he was watched and
logged by the police, and 1t was not until the
proofs against him, in consequence of his
conduct, amounted almost to certainty, that
he was arrested. The jury charge him
with killing, but not with numbering
DR.. Parkman. The question of murder will
be one for the traverse jury to decide. The
public conviction here now is that the coro-
ner's jury had testimony before them, which
prevented their rendering any verdict less
decisive than that which appears.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican says:
ave learn that there was evidence going
to show that the murder was meditated by
Prof. w. as early at least as the Tuesday
preceding the Friday of Dr. Parkman's dis
appearance. 1t should however, be borne in
mind that the examination before the Coroner
is nearly &c parte in its nature"
1t is also stated that Messrs. Abbott and
Amos Lawrence, who had a mortgage each
on Prof. Webster's cabinet of minerals, graz
tuitously gave them up to him just about the
time of the formers departure for England.
FIRE AT MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA-The
Capitol entirely consuneed.-We regret to
announce, says the Mobile Advertiser, of the
18th inst, on the authority of telegraphic
dispatches from Montgomery, the entire de-
s,ruction, by fire, on Friday, of the State
House. Our first dispatch was from Mr..
Lockwood, one OF the representatives from
this city, dated O'Clock 25 minutes P. NJ. 1t
simply stated that the Capital was burning
with no hope of saving it, and that many of
the records were saved.
The second dispatch, dated O'Clock 48
minutes P. M, was from Messrs. Gazzam
and Jones, the other two representatives from
this city, which announced that the State
House was destroyed.
The origin of the fire was not stated, nor
any of the circumstances attending the con-
hagratIon.
The Capitol was a magnificent edifce,
built only two years ago, the expense OF which
was borne entirely by the citizens of Mont
gomery. 1t is, indeed, very serious calami-
ty.
