TmE DEATH PENALTY ABoLIsHED.-
The State oflowa has just abolished the
penalty Of death. Wisconsin has barely
failed to abolish the death penalty THE
winter. A bill for that purpose passed
last session, but somehow failed TO reach
the Governor Sd as to receive his sigma
ture. This year ii has failed. In Mich
igan, repeated attempts TO re enact The.
death penalty, abolished five years ago,
have been defeated.

DEATH OF Mr.. M. s. EBRiGnT.-Our
readers will remember that about a mouth
since, we noticed an accident which hap.
,pened to this gentleman in Marysville
California, and which by the account was
considered not mortal. BY the last arri
val, we arc sorry to hear, contrary to our
expectations and those of his friends.
that death has taken him away, The
Marysville Herald says:
I'VE have to day to perform the
mnurnful duty Of announcing the de ath
of our very worthy friend. Mr.. Ebright,
the accident to whom we published some
time since. He expired after much SUI.
fering on Monday last, at about midnight.
Mr.. Ebright was a man universally liked
in our community, where he had resided
nearly ever since u town has been in
existence. In all the relations of life he
was most exemplary, aud his death
leaves n void in our midst which will be
long felt by devoted riends-friends who
have becomo so by the contemplation of,
aud acquaintance with his many virtues
as a man aud a citizen, The melancholy
manner in which he was stricken down,
10 the prime OF lille, while it calls forth
the tear Of friendship, may serve as a
lesson Of the frail tenure by which we
hold our earthly existence, aud how un.
expecledIy We may be called away, to
be seen M more ofmen."

THE c. az RAILROAD After an ar
duous and protracted struggle. the Leg
i~slature has passed the bill authorizing
under certain restrictions, the Commits
s%ioneTs to subscribe To the capital stock
Of the Cincinnati aud GAINESVILLE Rail
road company, We have only to say
here that such a subscription is necessa-
ny to construct the road.
The persons appointed for that Pur-
pOse, have given notice that books will
be opened for private subscriptions upon
the part Of our citizens. The time. place
&c, will be seen in their advertisement.
II has been decided by our citizens
that a Railroad is necessary aud ought
to be built through our county. 1t has
also been decided by the same tribunal
that the proposed route is the best and
most practicable best for the interests Of
the county, both in regard to convenience
and 10 prott-most practlcable, because
its advantages will SECURE the most CAPT.
tai for its construction.
The wind work is ovcr. Actions now
required, aud every citizen who feels
that the road is absolutely necessary to
the prosperity ofthe country should go to
work Immediately and not cease his OK
erlions until enough Of capital has been
subscribed to ensure the construction Of
the road through Fairfield county. II
will require no ordinary exertion, aud
every one sh uld consider himself a
special committee to act in the premis
es. Union. harmony aud energy will &C
complish the result.
