HORRIBLE ArrArn. Welearn from the Picks

HORRIBLE AFFAIR. We learn from the Vicks-
6urg Wig that on Monday evening, the 18th ult.,
Mr. James Boyken, planter living near Browns
vlie' In Kinds county, was murdered by two of his
negroes Mr. b. was sitting by the fire in his room,
about o'clock in the evening, when two negroes
entered, killed him with an axe and placed the head
IN the tre so as 10 destroy the traces Of svioence
On inquiry by some of the relatives of the deceased
revelations were made by a servant girl which led
to the detection Of the murderers The axe with
near at hand. The negroes, after being carefully
examined by three brothers and several neghbors
OF the murdered gentleman, were dealt with in
summary manner 1t is thought that much severity
was used in their punishment. The Wing insinu-
ates that burning was resorted to.

ATTEMPT T o kIDNAP, OR OTHERwIsE
Bishop, acoored man, who has been in this State
some two or three years, perhaps longer was at
work In his blacksmith shop, near the Beech Wood
Factory, on Friday of last week. horseman rode
up, and asked him to examine his horse s.foot and
see what allied it. He looked at one foot, and could
hnd nothing the matter, and was requested to ex
anime another. By this time some four or five strang
ers had come up, and Bishop, not liking the app ar
ance things, stepped back into the shop as if to
get some tool, and Instead ofreturning went through
the back door into the adjoining field, and started
across the field
He was pursued by some on foot, and some on
horseback, across the fields and over fences and
through cornstalks, weeds and brush Bishop ran
to where farmer was hauling load of corn, and
loosed his horses By the time he arrived, one of
the pursuers was close on him.-Bishop mounted
one OF the horses belonging to the team, and as he
mounted he was shot at some three or four times bv
the man, who by this time. was within few feet of
him. He returned the fire, and lodged bullet
against pistol in the breeches pocket Of the enemy.
But to cut the story short, Bishop escaped.-The
Fugitive Law and its myrmidons were insufficient
for his capture
1t Is said that Bishop is the slave of "a Mr.. Camp
bell, ofNlcholas County, KY, who was one of the
company in pursuit But the fact that one of them
falsely represented himself TO be a United States
Marshal, and under pretence that he had warrant
Tor the arrest OF Bishop, commanded citizens of Ohio
to and IN his arrest, and presented pistol to
the breast OF one of them who refused to obey hun,
causes the whole affair to be looked upon with sus-
pcion.
Shooting with intent to kill, even at fugitive. we
suppose, Is under the laws Of Ohio, Penentiary
ohence.-Ripley (Ohio) Bee

A FAMILY CAST AWAY ON LAKE SUPERB
Or A Mr.. Griswold, wife, and small child with
boy about seventeen, the of Mr.. llaverstraw,
set out a few weeks since in a skiif from Eagle
Harbor TO reach Eagle river, some ten miles distant
up the coast Withere engaged building
Government Ligh house on the point projecting out
into the Harbor from the main land, and saw the
company as they rounded the point the perilous
voyage 1t was then blowing quite strongly off
land and fears were entertained that shift of the
wind would beach them on bold and bad shore
Determined to have plenty of leeway, the little
craft was observed to put out some distance into the
lake, and was soon lost sight of.
1t never reached its destination. Days and weeks
passed, nothing was heard from the adventurers-
The coast between the two points was daily trav-
ersed and pieces of the wreck supposed to be found
but no tidings of the sufferers. At length all hope
was given up, and their friends mourned them as
dead But the sequel proved otherwise. After
three weeks absence, this little crew were all found
safe at the Saut They had been picked up two
weeks before by coasting schooner on the Canada
shore, whittier they had been seven days drifting
The distance across the lake at that point must be
from 250 to 300 miles II appears that the boat got
too far from shore, and the wind increasing drove
them into the lake. Night came on, and the wind
not abatng, the boat was put in charge of the lad,
who was half breed, and well acquainted with
the lake. He got up sort of sail, and put before
the wind for the Canada Shore
Seven days and nights they spent on this lonely
sea, without seeing vessel, without shelter and
without food. The wind changed several times and
kept them for days out of sight of land When
fouad they had entirely surrendered themselves to
their fate. How they lived SO long under such ex-
posture and without food, is most unparalleled
mystery. Their discovery was a mere accident by
the schooner, which, solitary and alone, happened
to be coasting along the Canada shore.
Altogether, this is one of the most remarkable in
cdents that has ever occurred on these lakes. noted
as they are for adventures shipwrecks and escapes

To RENovArE PEAR TREES. Where pears
are saunted in their growth the bark thick and par
tmily dead, would recommend the following me-
thod:-Scrape the outer bark well take off all the
moss and dead bark into the green or living bark,
and wash the trunk with potash, dissolved in water,
united with soft soap in equal quantities.
Then dig the earth away from the roots, say three
or four nches and scatter around the space thus dug
one Or two shovefns of manure from the hen house,
according TO the size of the tree. Throw back the
earth, mixing it at the same time with the manure: !:
repeat the operation every spring, and if ANYTHING
Will cause them to grow this will have found il
far superior to any other that have tried. A few
barrow-fulls of fresh stable manure thrown nro the
hen roost, according to the quantity of fowls, will
make an excellent manure, when rotted, for this or
any other purpose. .9mcricaa AgricuIturist.
Westbury, l.. l., Sept. 1885,
When the above manure cannot be had, COM
post of night soil and muck, or loan will answer the
purpose, but, in either case, should not come in

There! What fund Of gratitude is due to the editor

FoGGY. The Boston Advertiser of yesterday,
contains long and very foggy article upon the ''The
mode of re-instating the Wing party in the confd-
ence of the people'' in which it says ''they, Qhe
Free Soilers) cannot, however, with truth, aver
that from the commencement of this controversy
there has been public measure supported by the
Wings which has conceded an inch to the extension
of slavery or to shareholders, any claim not founded
on express warrant of the constitution
To go farther than the Wing party of the Union
have done in their opposition to slavery in guarding
against its further extension and n resisting unfound-
ed preensons of the slave-hoding States, is to re-
nounce all cooperation with the Wings of the slave
holding States, and to put at hazard all friendly com
munication with the people of those.'
1t is very evident from the above that the cad
vertlser' will never get patent for its "mode of
re-instating the Wing party in the confidence of the
people,, or lift does, that the party will not be re in
stated by any such means

The Whig Creed.

The creed of the present whig party, concerning the
union of the States, very fairly stated by Daniel
Webster, at the Astor House Tuesday morning,
where he was waited upon by committee Of Old Hun
kers wthoa distinction ofpay to thank him for his 9TH
of March Speech in which he pledges himself to sus-
tain bill for the recapture of fugitive slaves In the
New York Express he is reported to have said 'but
the main purpose for euhich the Union formed, tcas to
aid and to protect commerce"
This is what Mr.. Webster says, and, what one
might suppose by their acts, every man of his party who
s,stans him firmly believes but let us learn what
the fathers Of the Union themselves thought. Let us
turn the record, and see what really the main
purpose" in the minds of Jefferson and Adams, Han
cock and Henry Livingston and Lee, when they affixed
their names to that Constitution, the preamble ofwhich
declares tha-we the people of the United States, IN
order form perfect Union, establish justice,
domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence,
promote the general welfare, and the blessings Of
Society oauseges ond poStey do ordain and estah-
ish this Constitution Of the United States.
Now if the ssMAIN PURPosE' of the confederation
was, Mr.. Webster says it was, to protect trade and
commerce. then the founders ofour republic hypo-
critics and liars, all. For where in their published
speeches. in their acts or in their resolves do see,
the sordd sentiment Of pecuniary gain put uppermost
1t may be impossible for mind in the morbid condition
Of Mr.. Webster's appreciate such sentiment pa
triotism, unsuied by selfshness The day may have
gone by for Ian, to realize that of bendng integ
rity have existed in the world. Himself having re-
ceivedhe profits of his Iscarot bargain, in prostutng
the goddess of Freedom the brokers of Wall street, il
is very natural that he should suppose that the Unor
formed to encourage such specuaons, but the peo
Pile can read, and they know to the contrary. They
have better learned the history ofheir country than to
maign the memories Of their fathers by giving credence
to the be thatu forming the confederation, the pro-
tection oade and commerce, and the protection
man was the "main purpose" that prompted them.
