Indictment, wherein you are charged with
The murder Of George Parkman. This in
dlctmcnt will be certified up to the supreme
judicial court. where you will be called up
on Tor lElai thereon, at such time rs the
conr, sha Il order. A copy oflhis indictment
will be furnished TO you. This court now
orders that you will be taken back to Jail, to
be there kept in custody until discharged
by due course Of laws
notwithstanding the uaquestionable ef-
tort he made to Iisten to the clerk without
displaying any external sign of what was
passing within his bosom, the awful declar-
alton, "for the murder Of George Parkman,"
caused u momentary change in his features /;
there was contraction Of the muscles of
the mouth and an increased paIIor over
spread his face.
Tho instant the order Of the court
was announced by the clerk, DR.. Webster
was removedas rapidly as he entered. Tbs
whole proceeding did not occupy four miu-
utes.
The appearance Of Or. Webster indica-
ted nothing beyond affection, aud when his
long established position in life, the terrible
charge brought against him, and The distress
sing condition Of his large and interesting
family, are considered, bis present situation
must be regarded as affective beyond all
conception whether he be guilty or limo.
cent.
Among the spectators were many who
attended his lectures in college, and else
where, and many others who had heard
him testify 10 court in cases Of murder BY
poison, and we may venture to say that
not one ofei,her class could bring themselves
TO realize fully the dreadful change in his
situation. He was Withdrawn from the court
ere they could persuade themselves, either
by his living presence, or By hearing his
name Called that the well known, lively,
restless, busting, now amiable and now
petulent Professor Webster, was prisoner
ut the bar, charged with the wliul murder Of
an old friend, even more distinguished for
personal pecuiariiics than he was himself.
The audience generally were profoundly
affected by his appearance, and not one
yindictiye expression was even whispered
in reference to bis case. An effort will
be made 10 bring the trial on in March.

A GREAT DISCOVERY!
rur POLL BOOKS RECOVERED!

THE POLL BOOKS RECOVERED!
RI. following telegrsphic despatch was receiv-
- ~ Mr.. Edwards Of the Ilawkeye on Wednes-
d.y Of last week.
KEoKuK, Feb. 90. 1850.
e. Edwards, Esq. The kanesville poll

~ nossession Of Judge Mason, one hour ago.
w. ~ Antwerp and others were present, and wit
.s..ed The scene. Judge Mason protested he got
~. Rocks honestly, but he refused TO state how
~ got them. Tie excitement is great.
I, reference to the subject the editor remarks
.rbe stolen Poll Books OF Pottawattamie have
,..r fonnd! Ii will be recollected that TO defeat
~ = Miller, our friend Hall made pilgrimage
- Monroe county, where the Poll Books were to
:. nnened. and that while there they were stolen.
All remember that, and the patriotic resignation
of me loco foco Clerk TO prevent an organization
81 he County and other items, in this rascally de.
termination to destroy the will Of the majority.
well one mystery is unrayel!ed, and we hope
Tint such compunction may seize the perpetra-
tors. that the others will be in due time.
..The stolen books are found, as may be seen
BY telegraphic despatch, which we received
Yesterday morning from keokuk, but who the
yT;sf was is not yet ascertaned Judge Mason
nlesds innocence, but all who know the relation
between the receiver Of stolen property and the
theft. will be so uncliaritab!e as TO decline letting
him off with such plea, without suitable, aye,
and satisfactory explanations. All know that he
was partner to j. G.. Hall at the time OF the trans
action, and they will think that he must be ac-
ouainted in some measure with its details. We
look forward to some rich developments in the
case.o

The Faculties, for intellectual abilities, moral
worth and professional requirements, will com
pare favorably with the most distinguished i'll
our country. The medical faculty constitutes
an anomaly in this or any other cuuntrv-all OF
them are able lecturers and the hes, of teachers.
Those who Will contemplate our geographical
position, and the extent of our population, can
have no doubi as to the eligibility OF our stua-
ton for an enterprise of the kind. As 10 health,
including all seasons OF the year, we deny that
ANY OTHER CITY HAS MORE.
A common error exists in the minds Of MANY
students relative TO the place OF studying medi-
cin.; those who intend practcnY among the dis
eases OF the West and South should certainly ed
ucate themselves at school whose Faculty are
practically acquainted with those diseases.
That the public may be satisfied of the perma-
nency eft school, we feel il our duty to state,
that the Trustees and Faculty form UNIT in ac-
ton, which augurs we'll for its future success;
and that the pee uiar internal organization which
connects them, cannot be INTERRUPTED.
