HoRRIBLE CASE OF MAYHEa.-Mar-
garet Mccormick and Mary Welsh were
convicted al Philadelphia, on Thursday,
of may hem, in depriving John McCann
of his eye sight in throwing oil of yitrol
in his face, all because he would no,
marry one of them. The Ledger says:
His appearance on the witness stand
shocked every one in court. His scared
and sighlless face was SO shocking to be-
hold, that after the court and jurors had
an opportunity of seeing his condition,
an officer was requested to place hand.
kerchief over his head. The physician
who attended him stated that, in conse.
quence of the authorization of his fore
head, an artery was ruptufed, and thai
he would have bled to death, had no,
immediate assistance been at hand.

Damnges by the Flood.

In our own immediate neighborhood,
more property has perhaps been destroy
ed than at any one point. Mills, dams,
bridges, houses, farms with their fences
and crops, lumber and brickyards, have
been completely used up. Along the
valley of every river and stream an un-
precedented state of high water has re-
suited from the recent heavy fall of rain.
On Turkey river, from the bes, infor-
nation we have, much damage has been
done. The people Of Millville had 70
abandon their houses and to take to the
mountains. Some persons in the vicin-
ity Of Sank fats are reported lost. We
hope this may prove but rumor.
The valley Of the Wabsipinicon has
suffered severely from the food.
The Touring mill. connected with
which was saving lumber and carding
wool, and the fine bridge at Anamosa
are gone by the board. sasa
Pratt e. Co., on Catfish, have, lost
their dam, cooper shop and stock, and
hogs TO the amount of some thousands.
The dam on little Maquokeia, al
Simm's Mill, is gone.--Dubpque Er-
press. a
The farmers along the iowa and De-
dar rivers, and also above this place, on
both sides of the Mississippi, have los,
a great portion of their promising crops
of wheat, corn, oats, &C., besides nu,Aer-
Gus other damages by the general over
flow. Whole farms on the Iowa river
have been perfectly inundated, totally
destroying the crops, and forcing the in
habitants, in some cases to vacate their
dwellings,. We are not prepared to say
what the exact total loss will be TO the
citizens Of this county, but from wha;
we can learn, we will venture to set il
down at twenty thousand dollars OF
more.
Muscaiine Island, Immediately below
this place, is almost one vast sheet oil

The Eastern Mail.

We hear from Vincennes, that the
Wabash bottom is covered with watel
for seven miles in width. Ii is not prob
able, therefore, that the mail will be re
ceived overland, with any regularity, fol
some time to come. In this dilemma
our city Postmaster has, very properly.
directed the mails to be sent to, and
from, Louisville by water. In no other
manner can they be forwarded with Ger.
tain.y.
So extensive is the flood, that we ex
pect to hear complaints from every quar-
ter of the failure of the mails. 1t can
not be otherwise. In Iowa, Illinois and
Missouri. the bridges over almost all the
streams have been swept away, and the
country for miles submerged. Delays
must for these causes, occur i'm the trans.
mission of the mails, and the people
must make all proper allowances foI
such failures.-1io. Repub.

More Floods and storms.

An extra from the Mt. Pleasant OBJ
server, states that storm and tornado
swept over that town on Saturday night
last, which exceeded in violence all pre-
yious occurrences of the kind. A new
and strong frame house, belonging to
Mr.. Peter Housed, was demolished, the
building being first unroofed, and then
thrown thirty feet from its foundation.--
Five members of Mr.. HIS family who
were in the house, were severely inju-
red. A brick school house was also
destroyed, and many other dwellings and
barns unroofed and torn down. Mirac-
ulously enough, no lives were lost.
Skunk River is eight feet higher than
il was ever known before. Wilson's
Saw Mill is swept away, and every
thing is under water.
Augusta, on Monday last, was almost
entirely under water. Arrowsmith's
splendid stone mill, not yet completed,
was struck by some drifting trees, and
completely demolished. A saw mill has
also been swept away.-Ielegraph.

Riot at Hohoken.

There was great riot at Hoboken,
commencing on the Goth, and continu-
ing to ii o'clock, p. M. Ii is said to
have been provoked by some New York
and Hoboken rowdies, who seized the
ealables prepared for some ten thouaand
Germans, engaged in celebrating their
annual May festival. This conduct was
resisted. Several houses were partially
desiroyed--two persons were actually
killed, and many others certainly wound
ed-among them Justice Burning. who
was endeavoring to preserve ORDER
The military were called out, after the
disturbance had nearly ceased. Had
they been on the ground during its height,
the loss of life would have been fearful,
yet New York morals want some such
publication now and then. The ferry
boats were obliged to land their passen-
gers at another dock, to ensure their safe
ty. About sixty Germans were arrest
ed. Mr.. Bridges, a ship carpenter who
was wounded in the riot, died on .hc
9th.
The New York papers give the fol-
lowing additional particulars of the great
Riot al Hoboken:
II is stated that four have been seen
dead, but theft names could not be ascer-
tanned; and it is added that it is known
that as many as twelve have been killed,
or will die OF their wounds before morn
ing. One man was certainly carried over
the ferry dead. The number of wound
ed it would be impossible to count. A.
mong them was Justice Burning, badly;
Sheriff Wright, in the neck; Capt. j.
Hickie, badly; Charles Il. Clarke; ship.
carpenter named Bridges, it is feared ia
tally, his skull having been fractured,
and his jugualar vier cut; Mr.. Shell, re-
siding at the corner of Bloomfield and
Second streets, badly hurt; Mr.. Heirsch
residing at 1876 Hester streets, severely
wounded; Jacob Cock, found nearly
dead; Wm. Mott. carrier for the Herald

To the Farmers Of Iowa.
McCormick's Reaper.

"HE subscriber, as the authorized
u agent of O. III. Mccormick, for
the sale of his justly celebrated Patent
Virginia Reaper, is now in the southern
portion of Iowa, and will visit the coun-
ties of Lee, Desmoines, Henry, Jeffer-
son, Wapello, Van Buren,, Davis, &c
With the late valuable Improvements,
this is unquestionably the best, if moi
the only Reaping Machine in this sec.
ton of the country. Mr.. Mccormick
was the first 10 introduce successfully
the cutting of grain by horse power,
and from his great experience (haying
sold in the West thousands) it would be
strange if he had not the best Machine
now in use. Ihave with me testimoni
ais of the great value and extensive use
o. this machine to the Western Farmers
in saving their crops. Throughout Hi
nois where great efforts have been made
TO introduce other machines, McCor
mick, as the writer fully believes, has
sold and is selling fifty 10 one, over any
machine. An extensive system of in.
fnngement and imposition upon the pub
lie has been practiced in the West BY
tho sale Of his Reapers altered somewhat
mot TO improve) but to evade his patent.
Suits are commenced against the parties
and many are the overtures for COM
promise offered by them, but rejected
by Mr.. Mccormick upon the ground
that a right stolen from him is not a Fl,
subject for compromise, and can only
be remedied by full restoration. Sey.
mour e. Morgan, of Brockport, New
York. who served three years under Mr.
Mccormick, and learned what they
know of him, are the largest operators
in the line of Infringement upon his
Patent. They are enjoined. j have
the papers with me to show how the
whole matter stands, with copies Of the
Injunction which will leave at all the
prominent points in the district naned
when it is understood that all persons
using Machine illegally made or sold
in violation of the rights of the Paten.
tee, are equally as liable as the manu-
facturer, or seller, and can be sued and
made TO pay damages to the Patentee
and can be prevented by Injunction
from using such machine, it will be per,
ceived that the system OF operations
above alluded to, is not only a fraud up
on the Patentee, butsis gross fraud up.
on those to whom machines thus made
are sold. Farmers wishing machines
by leaving their address at the. post Office
at the county seat of their county, direc.
ted TO me, will ensure a call. Orders
can also be addressed TO Chil,enden &
McGavic, Keokuk; ]. l.. Montandon
Fort Madison; Fooie a. Co., Burlington,
10 ensure machine this harvest, il
would be well to forward orders early
The Machines are warranted to perform
well, or they can be returned.

Eg' By the request of the writer we
publish the following communication,
which appeared in the last weeks Re-
public: 81
MEssRs. EDIToRs:-Permit me to pro-
pound few questions for the considera-
ton Of the people of iowa. lst, Is more
than one fifteenth of the lands in this
State what would be strictly classed tim
Der land! I'd, How can timber (where
il is so scarce) be best appropriated! Sd,
Does not four-fifihs of the wealth of the
yeomanry Of the country consist in the
culture of grain instead of stockl 4th,
Are not level and bottom lands generally
preferred for ploughing, on account of the
soil being so liable to wash after being
cultivated, and consequently broken and
hilly lands esteemed Of but little value?
5th, Are not all level countries, especi-
ally in This latitude, peculiarly liable 10
great foundations on account of the tardy
disagreement of the rivers! 9th, In what
consists our greatest liabilities TO damage
from heavy rains, wind and fire. And
how may we best guard against these
frequent evils, or in other words, how
can we best secure the greatest good TO
the greatest number! And in order to
do this suppose our Legislature pass a
law prohibiting all horse, cattle, sheep
and hog kind running at large, wha,
would be the effect! Would not the far
mer fence in his broken and billy lands
for pasture, which are now considered
of but little value. thereby making them
valuable, and would not our bottom lands
become more valuable, requiring no
fence! And again, should we have a
sudden and unexpected freshet how lit
tie would be our loss compared with
what it would be fence and all! Some
Of our farmers are nearly ruined at this
time, for the reason that they will have
10 haul their rails from two 10 five miles
before they can secure.their crops from
stock. Was it not for this difficulty
they could relieve themselves measured
bly, by making even late crop the pres
ent year. By protecting the farmer you
protect all, and the country will flourish.
The frs. and greatest obstacle in the way
of the farmer is fencing. His constant
dread from fire as well as rain and wa
ter is great annoyance. Preserve our
timber for building purposes, and you
will soon see better houses, barns, bridg-
es, &c. The better quality of timber is
generally used in making rails, on ac-
count of the facility with which they can
be made.
Where stock run at large promiscous-
ly they degenerate. We would have a
better blood of horses, cattle, hogs and
sheep, thereby rendering them more val
liable, and in proportion to the value OF
stock will be las matter of course) the
value Of land. An emigrant upon bis
first settling in this country builds an un-
comfortable and consequently an un-
healthy log cabin, because he must first
make his fence before he can his crop,
thereby exposing the health OF him and
family; hence the country acquires the
reputation of being sickly.
Iowa is destined by nature to become
one of the best States in the Union, and
under judicious legislation, economy, in
dustry, honesty in trade and the blessings
of Providence, il will not be many years
ere we shall see il. So mote ii be.
