DEATH OF CoNvIcr.-A convict IN the
Jacksonville Penitentiary named Root died
of Cholera last Monday night. He was SEN
fenced TO the Penitentiary for six years, un-
der charge of having robbed the Madison,
Ind. Bank of some S2s, 900; and his sentence
would have expired in one month. On his
death bed, says the Louisville Courier from
which paper we condense these facts, he con-
iessed number Of iorgeries and crimes, and
implicated as being connected with him in his
iorgeries one who is now wealthy and re-
spected citizen OF Louisville. He most SOL
EMMY denied, however, having had any thing
10 do with the Madison Bank robbery, and
declared TO his last moments, that he was suf-
iering the penalties Of crime of which he
was entirely innocent. These statements
were made by him to his attending physician,
and are believed TO be true.

INDIAN SroRy.-Dr. Bigsby, in his "Shoe
and Canoe. or Pictures Of Travel in the Can
adas," relates the following story, which was
told him while engaged in survey Of the
Lake of the Woods:
While we were purchasing bilberries, I
noticed sundy old Indian sitting apart on a
somewhat high rock, with his arms round
his legs and his head on his knees.
| asked "ihe little Englishman" who that
wo-stricken man was, when Inc gave me the
following statement;
Some years ago this Indian had str1ngfed
his luna:ic soa-his only son and favorite
child. ----------.
The youth, eighteen years old, for year
or more. had refused 10 hunt, became abb
stracted. melancholy. and at times frenzied.
When hls paroxysms were coming on, he
would warn his family to protect particular
sister from his unwilling violence, as he had
an irresistible propensity TO kill and devour
her; and, in fact, he made several attempts
upon her life.
After time his lunacy. for such il was.
changed its object and he declared that he
must must murder and eat he first Indian he
could master in the woods or elsewhere.
He now daily begged his father to put him
to death, and so end his miseries.
The surrounding Indians took alarm ut all
this.
The father, as is usual in great emergen-
cies, calleI a council. It sat several times,
and after much deIiberation, ordered the lu-
natic to be srrangled by his own father, the
girer Of his life
The father obeved The youth after lis
tenihg to a long speech, and asserting aloud
to every separate observation, barred his neck
to the cord, and soon ceased 10 Breathe
His body was burnt, lest he should rise
again.
The parent never looked up more.

For the Journal.

Mr.. SANDERS KNOWING you TO be an
advocate Tor anything that will add to the
comfort, happiness or convenience Of your
iellow-creatures would suggest the pro-
priety Of your advocating the establishment
Of an Intelligence Office, for the especial
benefit Of certain ladies in this city, who ex-
perence much trouble in procuring servant
girls. BY the establishment of such an Of.
fee, those ladies who are troubled as above,
would know where to go TO procure help
And again, Mr.. Editor, those who are in the
habit Of trying to coo.r girls array from their
neighbors. would be greatly benefited, and
their neghbors saved from much annoyance
Evansville, Aug. l6. CITIZEN.
Somebody hit dar, sure 10 as the darkey
exclaimed when brick-bat bounced of his
woolly pate. We deeply regret that the do
meslic affairs Of Evansville are in such an
awful condition, and that the peace and com
fort OF innocent families are being wrecked,
all through the wicked weakness Of some fem
mines in trying to coax away servant girls
from their neighbors. This is horrid state
o. affairs and If an Intelligence Office would
promise to be Of any avail in insiiling enough
intelligence in the offending ladies as to teach
them their conduct is very wrong, we should
at once advocate the measure. But doubling
this, we shall as a dener resort advocate
the proprie,y of the City Council purchasing
hogshead Of moIasses, and keeping it at
some convenient place, where, with propriety
mistresses can lead their greasy cooks, and
souse them into said hogshead, so as to make
them stick to their places As it is now, a
lady can scarcely get girl nicely drilled in
TO household duties, and well creased in the
kitchen, before she becomes slippery and
slides over into some neighbours who may
have offered her two bits more per week.
Therefore, we support the Moldsses Hogs
head measure. without any compromise, and
free from the WiImot Proviso clause, which
some might construe as intended to keep
free blacks from the rights and privileges oil
said Hogshead. Dare the GoIiahs of the
Republican oppose David in this important
matter2

To the Stockholders OF the Evansville
and Illinois Railroad Company.

On the Both day OF may last, / was ap-
pointed your agent to purchase iron TOR that
part Of your road lying between the City of
Evansville and Princeton, a distance of26 l-2
miles. In pursuance of this appointment, |
visited the city Of New York early in June
last, and on the 10Th of July thereafter, l
closed contract with responsible house in
that City for the iron (of the T rail paltern)
to be delivered at Lafayette, La, immedi-
ately above the City Of New Orlans. The
iron ia to be shipped from port in Europe,
on or before the first day of December, and
will probably be delivered at Lafayette in
the month of January next. The iron is to
be paid for in bonds issued by the City Of
Evansville, payable to the Railroad Com
pany, bearing an interest of seven per cent,
payable semi-annually in the City of New
York.
The cost Of the iron is the great item in
railroad working, in the West. That being
provided for in the case ofyour road, nothing
is wanted to secure its speedy completion,
but prompt payment on the part of the
Stockholders. The immense advantage TO
be derived from the completion of this road,
and the interest in its behalf hitherto mani
tested, authorizes the Directory to hope that
no effort will be spared OIL the part Of the
Stockholders in affording them efficient aid in
the prosecution Of the work.

Mr.. Brown Butler. in his office Of Assistant
Marshall, commenced taking the census Of
vanderburgh county yesterday morning.
He will Of course visit every house in the
eounty-a very amusing operation TO HIM
self with the thermometer at nearly 1907
As this is q necessary and extensive opera
ton, citizens upon whom he calls should do
all in their power to assist him by giving
ready answers 10 his questions. MIR. Butler
10 gentleman, and we know will be guilty
Of no rudeness in obtaining the desired inior-
nation. Some may think him very inquisi-
tive for a man, as curiosity is almost an ex-
elusive attribute of woman, but he will ask
no question he is not actually commanded to
BY law.
But we don't envy Mr.. 3. his Office so far
as one thing is concerned-and ifhe don't get
his eyes scratched out before he visits twenty
houses, he will be very lucky. Just think of
il! He. an old Bachelor, will be obliged to
find out the age-that is try to, for OF course
he can't do it-of every young lady in the
county! Let him insure his life, or at least
his eyes. We know two or three personally
who will give him thunder, if he dare throw
out an insnuation about their age. And we
tell those old girls now, they might just as
well speak right out. and say they are be-
tween twenty-five and thirty, instead OF just
eighteen, as we intend to set MIR. B right
"tho' the Heavens fall" There is no use
lodging the question or lodging the census
man, or licking him either-the truth has got
to come out. Those old 'uns who are asham-
ed of their lone condition, had better at once
change it-and they will please recollect we
are in the market, and abhor bread and butter
misses who have just become Disguised with
short dresses. Now 60 ahead Nj. u. and
take all the sinners down.
