Mob viOlence..Gross outrage upon wo
men and children.

We learn from Henry county, Illinois,
that series of outrages have recently
been committed upon the Swedish colo
ny located in that county, and they are
threatened with determination from the
county. The men engaged in these out
RACES number about seventy, from the
town of Cambridge and Rock river, in
the same county, and they are headed
by fellow named John Root. This
man, it seems, married Charlotte Louisa
Johnson, but as they did not live happi-
ly together, she left him and fled to her
relations for protection against his vio-
lence. About the Doth of March, Root
visited the colony with mob, with the
intention of regaining possession of his
wife, but she had left and gone to place
of safety. Root irritated by this deser-
ton, determined to avenge himself upon
the innocent members Of the colony
collected a mob, paraded the streets
armed and threatened to burn the houses
aid kill the inhabitants. They search
ed the colony, and then left.
On the 9th they returned, and COM
menced demolishng some of the houses,
tore off some of the boards ofthc church,
discharged their guns, and ordered the

a~ In the trial Of Charles Rowe, in
dicted in New York for the murder of
VIM. White, it appeared. after the evil
dence for the government had been Civ
en- in, and the counsel for the prisoner
had opened for the defence, that one Of
the jurors, was German, and did not
understand English well enough to know
what had been said by the Witnesses.
After taking time to deliberate, the court
determined that the trial shouldproceed,
that if the prisoner would avail himself
of that objection, he must make it be-
fore the juror was sworn! The prisoner
was convicted of manslaughtcr in tho
fourth degree.
Such is the statement, as found in the
papers. If it be true, the people, can,
hereafter. place but very little reliance
on New York Courts and Juries. The
public, after the result Of the trials of
| Tirrel and Webster, in Boston, have
clearly right to point the finger of
scorn at them; but Boston has as good
right to laugh at New York. Lowell

Light from Water.

Henry NJ Paine, of Worcester, has
written letter to the editor of the Bos.
ton Chronotype, in defence Of his recent
extraordinary discovery in regard to the
decomposition of water, SO as to produce
light therefrom. We copy one or two
paragraphs from MIR. Paine S communi-
cation:
Gas regards the decomposition of wa

or high temperatures of heat, are not alb
soluteiy accessory to liberate the gases,
on the contrary, Professor Page decom-
posed water some ten years since, by
simply turning a crank which commune

and succeeded. My dwelling was light
ed for nine weeks with light produced by
the combustion of the gases made by
galvanic electricity, and the motive pow

Free invitations were given to the cit
liens of this place to witness the appa-
ratus and the light, and hundreds avail
ed themselves of the opportunity.
In the month of April, lSi9, l built a
light tower, on Goats Hill, in this city,
and removed my apparatus to it, only
charging the driving machinery and its
weight, which was 96 pounds. The cit
liens were freely invited to this tower,
and witnessed the decomposition of the
water, the accumulation Of the gases
and their combustion; the only parts not
shown to the visitors being the construc-
ton of the electrodes and the helices.-
The light continued to burn in the tower
till the month Of September, when prep
arations were made to light the Mont
gomery House, in your city, as l had
done store in this city, when an explo-
sion occurred by the carelessness of an
assistant, since which time have been
employed in so arranging the apparatus
that an explosion cannot take place. My
instrument is now finished, and working
and will soon satisfy your citizens, as it
has ours. that no efforts Of interested par
ties can brow-beat or ridiculc the public
into belief that the present mode of
lighting by Carburetted Hydrogen is the
only safe and economical method.

ATTEMPT TO KILL.-We are inform
ed that most deliberate attempt at colo
blooded murder was made on Tuesda y
of last week, in the vicinity of Caledo-
MIA, Putnam county. The circumstan.
ces as we have heard them related, were
that two men, one by the name of Bas-
ton, and the other youth about eigh-
teen years old, named Snow, enticed
their intended victim, whose name we
have not learned, to go with them to
shoot ducks near the Illinois river; when
they had arrived at small pond, they
told Mr.. - to get into the top of q
tree which lay in the water, projecting a
considerable distance into the pond, tel
ling him that there would be the best
place to kill ducks, and that they would
60 round the edge and shoot from other
directions. When MIR. - had arriv-
ed at the top of the tree, Baston drew
up his gun and fired at him. A bullet
and buck shot lodged in his neck; he fell
into the water, but recovered so far as
to get on shore, and was making towards
a saw mill, near which he was pursued
by Snow who, when near him, also drew
up his gun, and snapped it at him; the
cap burst, AID he then pursued him with
his gun, and struck at his head with the
breech Shows rifle came in contact
with that of the wounded man, and the
breech was broken. At this time the
attention of man at the mill near by,
was attracted to the spot by the noise !;
when Snow found that he was discover
ed, he turned and fled. The neighbor-
hood was rallied, and the Williams pur-
sued, taken, and brought to Hennepin.
We learn that the wounded man is still
living, and hopes are entertained of his
recovery. We have heard several ru-
mors. as to the motive which led to the
act, one is that the object of those who
attempted the murder, was to obtain
money Peoria Champion.

LOCAL AND TRANSFORM.

The Saint Anthony Mills are now sup
piled with logs; and are saving 1000
feet of lumber, or more, per day. The
want Of logs has been the only cause Of
delay in filling orders for lumber, al
those mills, and no such story as the
Chronicle says was 'industriously pro-
pagated in certain quarters" about the
refusal of the proprietors to sell lumber
to the people OF Saint Paul, was ever
propagated, circulated as fact, or Sc
riously entertained, by any person, in
or out Of Saint Paul.
We learn, that on Saturday last,
tho steamboat Lamartine went up the
mississippi river, to the Company
landing above Cheever's. The Lam
artine was to have received $500
for this achievement. The Lamartine is
the first boat that ever reached point
ON the river, higher than Cheever's. A
small boat landed at Checver's once be-
fire, many years ago, when tho river

PEARsoN's CAsE.-We learn from the
Post, that the committee on pardons have
closed the hearing in this case, and will
probably report in writing to the Gov
ernor and Council on Tuesday. Since
his conviction, he has confessed that he
rose to kill his wife after he had been
lying by her side about three quarters of
an hour 1t was not his original inten-
ton to kill the children, but on account
of the resistance his wife made, they
woke up before he had accomplished his
first purpose, and then it became neces-
sary to despatch them lest they should
expose him. 1t is understood that the
chance of communication is small. Low

INDIANS AND jury TnIAL.-The Uni
ted States Circuit Court, for the district
of Missouri, is now in session in St.
Louis. Two Indian murder cases are
to be tried. Two Sac Indians, tho mur-
derers of Colborn, the Santa Fe trader,
is the first case, and Pawnee Indian,
the murderer of Picard and another per-
son, express riders, is the other. The
Pawnee is in great trepidation whenever
brought into court, thinking his execu-
ton Is at hand. He cannot be made to
understand the process of a trial, nor
can his Indian witnesses be made to UNI
dcrstand the obligation of an oath. They
say he committed the murder, and that
they have complied with the demand Of
their Great Father (thc President) i'll
giving him up, and wonder why he is not
forthwith executed.
