Singular Circumstance.

curious and interesting occurrence: ''Since the

When they approached ne@r the scene of the
murder, the horse manifested evident signs of

Merriwether determined to give him the rein,

horses when apprehensive of danger. The noble
animal finally smelt the ground and trailed the
course which the body of his former master had
been conveyed by the murderer. He finally
reached the spot, smelt the ground and paved
and snorted. He then took circle in the woods
at a moderate trot, returned to the place where
the body was found, and repeated the same cere-
mony. This he did several times in succession.
And when reined up it was with great difficulty
that he forced to leave the place. Is this
instinct, reason, or what is it?

Shocking Death.

A child nged about eight months, daughter
Of Mr.. John Farren, contractor on the Central
Railroad near Bennington, was burned to death
on Thursday evening, 9th inst. The particulars
nre these The mother of Mr.. Farren was
dressing the young child near the stove, when
by accident it fell down upon the child
the hot Goals falling upon her and causing
death almost ostinstantaneously. The grandmothe.,
an aged woman, was so much frightened that
she was unable to render immediate assistance
TO the unfortunate sufferer. Mr. Farren and
his wife have met with an incalculable loss; their
only child, the pride and joy of their hearts, has
suddenly been taken from them. 1t is almost
impossible to describe the agony and grief of
the parents. Their cup of bitterness has been
filled to overfowing. May they find that conso-
lation which the world cannot give in those
beautiful words Of our Saviour, Suffer little
children to come unto me, for Of such is the
kingdom of Heaven"

We had visit yesterday from DIR. Lieb, OF

IS the bearer of splendid hickory cane to the
Hon. James Buchanan, of PENNSYLVANIA, from
the sterling Democracy of that new and growing
country. We learn from him that a large por-
ton of Iowa are the warm and devoted friends
of that distinguished statesman, and advocate
his nomination by the Democratic National Con-
vention, not only on account of his commanding
talents and devotion to the great interests OF
Democracy, but because of his availability and
devotion to the Constitution and the Union.
This tribute of respect will be more highly ap-
preciated by Mr.. Buchanan than more costly

club, is emblematic of the Democracy in Iowa.
