A Dcs:,eHate Man.

The neighborhood Of Moorestown BurlIng-
ton county, was thrown into considerable ex-
citement on Tuesday last. by the desperate
conduct of a man named Job CowPerthwaita.
who had returned to Moorestown after an ab.
-sence Of 3 years, apparently with tetermi-
nation to avenge himself against 4 woman,
who had sheltered his wife from his constant
abuse, before his departure from home. He
had gun with him, and meeting the woman
on thcroad near her own residence, delibeI.
ately shot her in the side. The charge pas.
sed through the flesh, inficting severe, but
not dangerous wound. The cries Of the
woman soon brought the neighbors around
who sent for Samuel Myers, constable,
for the purpose Of having COwperthwai,e ar
rested.
Mr.. Kelly started in pursuit, and found
Cowperthwaite prepared for desperate resist.
ance, and before he was aware ofan attack
he received a shot from Cowperthwaite's gun,
in his left arm above the elbow. He then
went for assistance, and on his return Cow
perthwaite levelled his gun and took dellber'
ate aim. Kelly did the same, and both gun:
snapped Kelly then fired and sent ball OF
shot in Cowperthwaite's face. The latter
then fred without effect The constable fred
twice more, both shots taking effect IN the a5'
domcn. Cowperthwaite was then captured
and in great agony was taken to Mount Ho.'
ly Jail. Physicians are engaged in takmgour
the shot, and at the last accounts, 1t was sup
posed he would recover

Svindling the lS;nte.-In the midst Of
sharp quarrel between party of Lccofocos
in the region of the Freeport Aqueduct, it has
come to light that the officers who disbursed
the public money in the work of rebuilding
the Freeport Aqueduct after it was.destrOyed
BY fire on the 18th of May, l84S, literally
robbed the State of Pennsylvania ofabout ten
thousand dollars. The way they managed it
was by altering the check rolls after they
had been signed by the laborers. The sums
actually paid were changed, and in this ial-
sified condition the accounts were settled Ia
the Auditor Generals Office. The result waa
that paying officers were credited in the
Treasury Department with more money than
they really d.sbur. ed, and the amount at least
$4,000, for which they obtained an unjust
credit, they put into their pockets Alas! for
that much extolled thing-Locofoco honesty.

The Butler County Wing thus speaks OF
Seth Clover, the Democratic Federal CandI-
date for Canal Commissioner
The nomination of Mr.. Bigler was gener-
ally anticipated, but the nomination OF Seta
Clover has taken both Wings and LocotScos
of this region by surprise. Perhaps within
the broad limits of the Commonwealth there
could not have been selected a man SO utter
ly destitute of the qualities requisite to
faithful and competent discharge of the du'
ties of a member of the Canal Board. UtteT-
ly untitled as Mr.. Clover is by nature and ea'
ucation to become the depository Of any M
portant trust, it is to US matter ofunielgnea
surprise that he has received the nomination;
Locofocoism must have been In its dota age ans
