A WILD CoUNTY.--Two or three murders
have been committed in Greene county, iu this
State, in year past, and here is another.
We learned in Springville last week that a
woman in Greene county, in the neighborhood
of Bloomfield, hung child with tbrumbs from a
loom, under these circumstances The woman
accused child, the daughter of neighbor of
stealing quarter of dollar from her which the
child denied. The woman, to extort a confess
sion, hung her up, but failed in her object, and
then let her loose, when the child started home.
The woman pursued her, and as she says, only
tied her to tree. Some time afterwards she
was found suspended by the neck and dead. The
woman was arrested and is now in Jail, we learn.

DENcY.--Gen. Foote made speech in New
York on the 9th inst, in the course Of which he
announced that Gen. Cass would support Henry
Clay for the Presidency. The Tribune's report
Of his remarks follows
seen Foote complmented the Union Trinity
Clay Cass, and Webster, for their services on
the committee of thirteen. When it was told to
Gen. Cass that the prospects of the committee
would finally lead to the election Of Henry Clay
to the Presidency, Gen. Cass, with great good
feeling, was perfectly enraptured, expressing his
perfect willingness to support such nomina~
ton for the success of the sUnion' party The
narrative OF Gen Foote was listened to through-
out with the utmost attention, and he was fre-

PRESIDENTS AND THEIR MEssAGEs.-Presi-
dent Fillmore, has just issued his message: it
is rather brief, compact and readable. In read
ing this document, we are Familiarity taken by
the button hole by our thoughts, and asked if it
ever struck us, that q brief review of President s
Messages, would be an entertaining matter for
the nonce? For instance the first Message ever
penned for the American people, was under the
administration of Gen. Geo. Washington. 1t
was written by Virginia lawyer, under the die
tation of the President and this record is rather
an interesting document to read nowadays
Washington wrote very little, never wrote any
of his messages.
John Adams was scholar and an excellent
writer. He succeeded Washington, and wrote
several of his messages, himself; some Of them
were lengthy, and all of them remembered for
their Giction and patriotic tone.
Thomas jefferson, who succeeded Mr.. Adams
was an elegant penman, but slow; several of his
messages were written by himself. They
breathe patriotism and the solid reasonings Of the
philosophic statesman.
James Madison was man Of whom as little
seems to be known, as though he had never ru-
| led beyond his own estates; but he was mod
crate scholar, and fine old fashioned gentleman.
| His messages were all made to his order; he new
/ er fourshed as great diplomatist or arithmeti-
clan.
James Munroe never figured much in his mes
saoes they were calm, quiet documents, writ
ten by his secretaries.
/ John Quincy Adams wrote elaborate and
lengthy messages. Every word and line, was
/ set in with precision at once bespeaking the
profound logcian, the statesman, the scholar.and
the philanthropist 1t is said Mr.. Adams wrote
every message he issued, the longest he issued
being written in twenty-four consecutive hours!
/ Gen. Jackson's messages all breathe the fiery
spirit, resoute, prompt and decisive vigor Of thai
| remarkable man. Gen. Jackson was an mpa-
tient writer his messages were written by his
secretaries. he debating and walking the floor
most of the time. They were eyised by Mr.
Van Bnren.
Mr.. Van Buren, succeeded Gen. Jackson
| He wrote his own messages, generally; frequent
" sitting up whole nights for this purpose
They smell Of the law office and green bag, al
out!
President Harrison made no sign; his success
sor, John Tyler, composed some messages; they
were somewhat bombastic, and always unneces
arily long and tedious.
Gen. Taylor's message was emblamatic OF tht
man, rather BRIEF to the point, plain and substan
tial, and considering the great increase Of mat
tiers and things he had to cipher out they were
very brief There has not been great deal L
talk about in fact. since Gen. Taylor's death
hence Mr.. Fillmore got off with very ''shor
commons" and bis message is just what plaiI
and candid lawyer would be apt to think and say
and it will probably be extensively read, as 1t is
saving editors and printers much work, and polit
ical and bar-room caucusses, small show ior-
gas. So mote it be.-Mais.

A ROW AT PEORIA,
Attempt to execute two Convicts!
Drnnr. IIl...n:. n. n(

PEORIA, Illinois, Dec. 20.
| Our city was again thrown into much excite
ment to-day. The execution of Brown and Will
liams, for the murder of He,oia, was to have ia
ken place to-day-but by an order from the Gov
ernor, received on Wednesday, was extended to
the 9Th of January next. This not being gen.
orally known or credited, large mass of people
from this and adjoining counties assembled to
witness the execution, and being disappointed in
their expectations, portion of them resolred that
The prisoners should be executed fortbaOitt: and
urged on by exciting speeches, they got posses
sion of the scafold from the Jail yard, and erect
ed it in the street, in front of the jail They then
effected an entrance into the Jail by breaking the
doors and locks, and proceeded with crowbars,
scantng and other implements to the prisoners
cells, where they met with a desperate resist
ance from Brown, who although shackled, as
soon as the cells, were opened, slipped into the
hall, disarmed few of the mobiles by taking
from them their scantngs, barracaded his cell
on the inside, and defied DEMONSTRATING skull
or two of the mobocrats, and giving them other
striking Illustrations of his entire disapproval
of such unlawful proceedings. The mob fell
back, and few of our citizens stepping in at
this juncture, prevented further violence.
The prisoners were again secured in their
cells, and before dark the crowd Dispersed
Thus resulted what at first, all supposed would
be a most tragica and disgracefu affair

Thoughts of Heaven.

No sickness there
No weary wasting of the frame away;
No fearful shrinking from the midnight air.
No dread of Summers bright and feryid ray.
No hidden grief
No wild and cherries vision of despair;
No vain petition for swift relief
no fearful eyes, no broken hearts are there
Care has no home
Within the realm of ceaseless prayer and song;
Nor pillows break away, and melt in foam,
Far from the mansion of the spirit throng!
The storms black wing
Is never spread athwart celestial skies
Its wailings blend not with the voice of spring,
AS some too tender howeret fades and dies!
No night distils
lis chilling dews upon the tender frame:
No morn is needed there the light which fills
That land of glory, from its Maker came!
TO parted friends
Ger mournfu recolections have to weepl
No bed of death enduring love attends
To watch the coming of puseless sleep
Let US depart,
II home like this await the weary soul
Look up thou stricken one Thy wounded heart,
Shall bleed no more at sorrows stern control.
White robed and innocent to lead the way,
Why fear to plunge in Jordan's rolling tide,
And find the ocean of eternal day

thick as to withstand the ordinary tests with &C

SINGULAR AND ALMOST FATAL ACCIDENT. =
On Thursday the sexton of oae of the churches
in this city remained after services for the pur-
pose of closing the house. Finding that the keys
were not in the doors, he concluded to bolt them
upon the inside and get out through the window.
In attempting to do SO, by some unfortunate slip,
the window fell down upon his neck, leaving
him dangling in the air. Fora few moments he
was almost suffocated. By desperate effort
however, he succeeded in extricating himself,
but fell to the ground, only distance of few
feet, where he lay insensible for some time. He
is now entirely recovered with the exception Of
some scratches OH the face and neck. Alto.
gether this is one of the most singular accidents
and fortunate escapes from death we remember
to have seen recorded.--AHeghany Eng.

Winch Is THE WEAKER SEx?-A funny com
parison.- Females are called the weaker sex, but
why? If they are not strong, who is? While
men must wrap themselves in thick garments,
and encase the whole in a stout overcoat to shut
out the cold, women in silk dresses, with neck
and shoulders bare, or nearly so, say they are
perfectly comfortable! While men wear water
proof boots, over wooden hose, and encase the
whole in India rubber to keep them freezing,
women wear thin silk hose and cloth shoes. and
pretend not to feel the cold! While men cover
their heads with furs and then complain of the
weather, women half cover their heads with
straw bonnets, and ride twenty miles in an open
sleigh, facing cold northwestern and pretend
not to suffer at all!
They can sit, too, by men who stink of rum
and tobacco-smoke enough to poison whole
house, and not appear more annoyed than though
they were bundle of roses!
