IP Miss Susan Ripper gives loud cer-- ticate in favor of some of the popular med icines of the day. She was suffering from general debility, sick headache, heartburn, indigestion, tapeworms, consumption, rheu- matism in the shoulders and hips, and be- sides these, she didn't feel very well herself. At length she says:

Murder in Port Lavaca.

We learn from the IndianoIa Bulletin,. that J. B. Fulkerson, the sheriff of that county, was murdered in Port Lavaca on the l4th inst, by man named Sharkey, lately from Mississippi:
 "He provoked quarrel with a peacea- ble citizen of Lavaca, and attacked him with a siung shot. The weapon was wrested from him by a bystander, and placed in sher- if Fulkerson'S hands, who just then arrived and commanded the peace. Sharkey de- manded it, with a threat that he would have ''it or him." Fulkerson went to Justice Maulding for a warrant, and Sharkey i'm mediately got his rifle, went 10 Maulding's office, and without the least warning, shot Fulkerson in the heart, remarking with demon-Iike coolness and an oath, that he was the best shot in the State. He then made an attempt to escape on horseback, but was seized and ironed. A town meet ing was called to consider the matter, and determined to let the law take its course.- During its sitting and throughout the day, while intense excitement prevailed, Sharkey manifested the most reckless spirit-told them he had killed three men in Mississippi, and if he got away he would kill four others in Lavaca--and in every way defed the indignant and deeply affected people, while the blood of his victim was yet warm. Du- ring the night following, the guilty man was seized and dragged from the hands of the officers, and in the morning was found suS-, pended to the limb of q tree near by.

AMERICAN LITERATURE.-We have on a former
occasion spoken very favorably Of the high order
of talent possessed by an American authoress,
who wrote and published several works of fiction
which we believe attained much popularity in this
country. We find that the lady is as Industrious as
she is talented, and besides that her labors are
devoted not to the attainment Of the unenvabe fame
ola "blue stocking" but to the more credtabls
ambition of earning competent support for her two
orphan children. In this point of view, and consid-
cred as noble minded woman struggling against
adverse fate and cultivating her intellectual quail
tiles for such high purposes deem her eminently
enttledfo public patronage, even moro than if she
possessed the powers of Corinne or Madame de
Stael without that higher and more holy sentiment
There has now issued from the press Of publishing
house in Philadelphia, well got up edition Of q
new work from this iadys pen, entitled "The North
and South, or Slavery and its contrasts" We have
had time merely to glance over the book, without
being able to form any estimate of its value; but
recommend it most cordially to the reading portion
Of the public, rs well for the ability which
convinced from her literary antecedents have bssn
displayed in this work, as for that higher motive
which prompts us to admire and support the young
mother toiing alone and unaided for her children.

manner towards the pastor.
