SUPPOSED MURDEa.-On the last trip of
the Courier to Parkersburg, among
other passengers on board was man
named Dickson, having in his charge
horse, and about his person 1895, in gold.
A difficulty sprang up between him and a
deck hand on the way down. so that high
words ensued, and finally a scuffle, in
which Mr.. D. was knocked down, and left
lying upon the deck senseless for con-
siderable time Nothing more serious was
anticipated, but when the boat arrived at
Parkersburg, the man was found missing
his horse was on board but the man
himself could not be found. Several pas
sengers recollected then afreshly the cir
cumstances connected with the fracas,
and that his foe by the assistance of fell
low had thrown something heavy over the
stern the night previous, when suspicious
of foul play ran like wildfre. No arrest
has been made, as the evidence is not suf-
ficiently strong to convict, and the event
too dark and mysterious.

Execution ofan asserted Agent Of Kos.

The Austrian Lloyd states that Maurice
Potacki, the Hungarian who was arrested
at Rendsburg 6 on d charge Of attempting ,c
seduce some Hungarian regiments from
their allegiance to the Emperor, and .
being an agent Of Kossu,h und Mazzini
and who, upon these charges had been sen
fenced to death by ANA ustrian court-mar.
ual on the 3Oih ult., was executed on the
9th inst.
The Vienna Gazette contains the official
incul patton of the unfortunate man, and
according to the custom Of similar German
documents, enters into the history ofhis life.
According TO this partial authority, Patacki
was 20 years Of age, and native of the
county of Presburgh, in Hungary. Before
the revolution of l843 he was an advocate
and fiscal at Pesth. During the revolution.
ary period he served ns national guard.
He became afterwards sub officer in the
Hunyady battalion, and finally an officer
of General Bem's staff, in which capacity
he served until the termination of the war
In 1919, he Travelled to Hamburg, and
thence by Brussels and Paris to London.
Here it is charged against him, he entered
into communication with Kossu,h, and
entered into the plans .nad views, Of the
emigrants and of the anti Austrian party,
who proposed as their aim the overthrow
Of the imperial monarchy. In attempting
to carry out the plans of Kossuth and MAJ.
zini, he undertook q journey to Hamburg
in the beginning of November, 1851, pros
vided with the necessary instructions, plans,
and proclamations, intending to act upon
the minds Of soldiers of the imperial army

gain over o number of men. formerly
Honveds, and on the 10Th of November
went to Rendsburg, in order to bring about
an understanding between the 10Th regis
ment and The leaders Of the ogitaticn.-
Here it is added he prepared statement of
the strength Of the army corps in Holsten,
and drew up a list of officers whose aid
might be depended on by principals, in case
of an outbreak, both of which he addressed
10 Kossuth. Having done this, it was his
intention to travel through the cities Of the
empire, and especially to work for his cause
in Vienna. He was next to go to Croatia,
Oelmaiia, and .Slavonia, find out every>

The Preacher and the LAYERS.

Jesse Lee, one of the first Methodist
preachers in New England, was a man
who combined unresisting energy and ten.
derness Of sensfbility, with an extraordina-
ry propensity to wit. Mr.. Stephens, in his
new work on the Memorials of Methodism,
gives the following specimen Of Lees, bon
hoaansae:
As he was riding on horseback one day,
between Boston and Lynn, he was over
taken by two young lawyers, who knew
that he was Methodist preacher, and were
disposed to nmuse themselves somewhat at
his expense. Saluting him, and ranging
their horses one on each side of him, they
entered into conversation something like
the following: i..5 nj. zs2s

Lee-That depends upon the character
of the mistake. | was preaching the other

A FAT WOMAN IN A TlGHT PLACE
The following interesting trihe is an ex>
tract from letter from corpulent lady,
on her way TO California. She is undoubt.

We do.
"Our cabin has two boxes in i, called
berths, though coffins would be nearer the

situated over the other like two shelves,
and these. together. make what they call

one, and have to climb up to it, putting
one foot on the lower one, and the other,
way out on the washhnnd stand, which is
agreat stretch and makes it very straining

in sideways. This is very inconvenient

out her eyes; and have torn all the skin
off my knees, and then Ihave got large
black spot where have been hurt, nnd nv
head is swelled. To dismount is another
feat Of horsemanship only fit for a sailor.
You can't sit up for the floor overhead; so
you have to turn round and roll your legs
out first, and then hold on Till you touch
bottom somewhere and then let yourself
down upright. 1t is dreadful work, and
not very decent for q delicate female, if
the steward happens TO come in when you
are in the net ofihis way. az. Hg.

in or get out Of befth-both are the most
difficult things in the world, and l shall be
glad when | am done with it, am OBJ
liged TO dress in bed before leave it, and
nobody who hasn't tried TO put on their
clothes lying down can tell what task it
is. Lacing stays behind your back and
you on your face, nearly smothered with
the bed clothes, feeling for the eye let
hole with one hand and trying to put tae
tag in with the other, while you are rolling
about from side TO side, is no laughing
matter. Yesterday fastened on the pill
low to my bustle by mistake, in q hurry,
and never knew it till the people laughed,
and said the sea agreed with me, | had
grown so fat; but putting on stockings is
the worst, for there nint room 10 stoop for
ward; so you have to bring your foot to
YOU, and stretching out on your back, lift
up your leg till you can reach it, and then
drag it on. Corpulent people can't al
ways do this so easy, can tell you. 1t
always gives me the cramp, and takes
away my breath. You will pity me, if
you will conceive; but you cun't-no, no.
