THE OWEGo MURDER, &c.

OwEGo, Feb. s. 1851
It appears from the evidence, that there
was difficulty between Garrison and his
wife, so that Mrs. G. had left his house the
day before, and gone TO the house of her
brother, John NJ. Thurston. She took their
only child, a girl six years old, with her
Thurston went in the afternoon 10 see Garri-
son in relation 10 the custody of the child,
and had invited Garrison 10 come TO his house
in The evening 10 talk the subject over with
his wife, when they separated, Thurslon re.
turning home.
Soon after, Garrison started 10 go to the
house OF Thurson, and again met Thurston
near his own house. Thurson returned in
company with Garrison to the house. GarIi-
son stopped at The door, and requested the
child to be sent 10 him. His wife said if he
wanted 10 see the child he must come in.
Garrison then went in, and Thurslon hand.
ed him a chair, and Immediately passed out
through back door 10 the wood house. Gar
rison had become seated, and taken his child
on his lap. and was playing with it, when
Thuis,on returned from the wood house with
an axe, and approaching Garrison from be.
hind, struck him in the head with the edge
of tie axe, bdrying it in his brain. He then
repeated the blow, which took effect on the
side of his face, severing the lower Jaw from
| his face.
Garrison died MISUNDERSTANDING his posi-
ton IN his chair and the child ON his lap.
GarriSon's wife asked her brother why he
had killed Garrisonl lie replied that she
could not help it,"
Thurston does not evnce the least contri
ton for the deed, but told the Sheriff to-day
that he had ''served Garrison right, and hC
was not sorry he did it,"
Thurston was man of excitable tempera
ment, and was generally regarded as dan
gerous man in the community, though he i
very respectfully connected.

limb, and repeat tho operation, till she has
laid about 400 eggs The eggs are white, OF
pearl color, abou, the 18th Of an inch long,
and abou, one sixth as thick as they are
long 1t is this operation that destroys the
small limbs the excavations cutting off the
sap vessels. The time of depositing the
eggs continues till about the Goth of June,
when they cease. All kinds of trees and
shrubs are selected by them for their oe-'
posits, except pines, and other turpen''"e
trees. They do not seem TO select the haru-
est nor the most soft wood but that winch
is about The size of their bodies or less seems
to be chosen ; the operation requiring
them 10 grasp the sides OF 'he I'mo WIN
their claws, which they could not do well ii
The limbs were larger. By grasping firmly
with their claws, they are able TO make grea'
pressure upon the point OF the oViposi'or, anu
thus effect their object.
From the lst 10 goth June, all shrubbery
of value should be protected, either by care
fully covering it with cheap gauze, or in the
case of pot plants, by keeping them in the
house. About the 25,h of July the eggs will
be ready to hatch, Then take limb con-
tanning them, cut carefully till you expose
the eggs, and take them out, place them III
the palm of the hand, and they will hatch
in few minutes. The little insect frees
himself from the egg shell precisely in the
same way that the large one did in the spring
by rupturing the shell on his back. As soon
as he is fairly out of the shell he s,alts oil
briskly in seach of food. Let him get 10 the
ground and you will see him work his way
into it follow him, and you will see him at
tach himself to the tender roots OF grass OF
other vegetables and commence taking nF
/ the luuid exudation from the surface with
| his little rostrum or snout.
| These observations can only be made with
good magnilying glass. By the aid of the
glass you will see the young insects has eve
ry feature and member precisely the same
as the large one had when he came from The
ground in the spring. By carefully watching
you will see the young insect coming out
the excavations in the limbs, and falling II
the ground. You can sometimes see gIea
numbers falling from high trees. They arr
like little notes in the air, and require sharl
sight TO see them. They are so small, an,
their apparent specific gravity SO inferior tina
they are not injured by the fall. About tn
25lh of June the old locusts will have disaT
peared altogether. The locusts do not g
deep into the ground. They live upon. tn
vegetable juices of the roots near the suriac
which they take with their snout or rostruu
There are three hairs in the snont, which, l
feeding, are projected and spread out owe
the surface of the roots or leaves OF tree
and these collect the juice and convey 1t ,
capillary attraction TO the stomach You ca
see this operation very disticily in the perie'
, insect by watching it with a magnfyin
glass. They have no other mouth or meal
of taking food either in the larva or wlnge
state.

JUDGES OF THE SUPREME COURT.

The subject of the election Of the Judges
of the Supreme Court is already exciting
considerable attention in almost every sec
ton OF the State. We mentioned last week
that Charles w. Higgins, Esq. of Pottsvile
and recently OF this place was highly recon-
mended for that station by the Pottsville
Register. This recommendation has since
been endorsed by number of papers whig
and democratic. Mr.. Higgins possesses
abilities of superior order and would
make an excellent Judicial officer.
j. w. Maynard, Esq, of Lycoming is
also recommended in the last Lycoming
Gazette for that station. Mr.. Maynard is
one of the most talented lawyers in North
ern Pennsylvania. His qualifications for
the station are undisputed.
Joshua w. Comfy, of DanvlIe, is also
recommended by the Danville Democrat
for that station. Mr.. Comfy sustains high
reputation at The Bar for his legal learning
and possesses all the requisites, as gentle
man and lawyer, necessary for that sta
ton. Our whig friends could not wei
select from their ranks, an ADLER or bette
man.
