Saritual Rappings-Murder Of a Infant
name of Freeman, living in the township of
Van Buren,, in Lagrange county, Indiana, in the
early part of last week, put an end to the life of
her child, a promising infant about twenty
months old, nnder circumstances of the most
melancholy character. She had long been un-
der the influence Of the spirit.rapping delusion,
and had become so affected by presumed reve-
lations from the other world, as to conclude
that life was only a burden, and that an ex-
change Of worlds was the only sure path to the
souls felicity. Accordingly, under this infatu-
alton, she selected from her family of children
the two youngest, who were the special objects
of her love, and resolved to send them forward
to the world ofspirits, whittier she would short
ly after follow them. While her husband and
the elder members of the family were absent
in the field, she took the children into a retired
room, and by means of a cord which she had
prepared by twisting together some strong cot
ton, succeeded in strangling the infant until
satisfied that it was dead. The other child, a
little boy aboutfve years of age, became fright
ened and ran off into the field to alarm the faith
er, who returned to witness the scene of horror
and prevent the mother from destroying her
own life. The roman made nc attempt to
conceal the purpose which prompted her 10
commit the awful deed; and only regretted that
the full accomplishment of the design had been
prevented. She is now in Jail waiting her trial
for murder at the next session of the court of
that county Constantine Mercury.

sEMgAMsA,

uIhe New York Evening Mirror makes
the following equally touching and suggestive
remarks in reference to the death of the late
Col. Bliss:
Only a daughter (the widow of Col. Bliss) of
.ne victor at Buena Vista, of all his family who
occupied the White House, is left. What a
starting change since the hour that saw the
republican soldier borne by the hurras Of =
grateful people from the field of battle and peril
ana TO him of undying fame and honor, to the
n,ghest seat of earthly power. Then all was
me- tne proudest aspirations that could fire a
mortal heart were fulfilled; the Hottest ambition
reposed satisfied under the shadow of a GOAL
reached unsolicited, a fame perfected without
piemish. Gen: Taylor and his wife and Col.
bIlss then lived; their present honored and han.
Py' their past glorious, and their future brigbt
Ihey are all dead. One link of the lovino and
beloved circle of that family group, on Which
the eyes of the nation rested with deIiobt' rea
mans. She is, indeed. widowed and orphaned.

The Franklin Observation-Disclosures of =
very interesting character has been received BY
government, which, if correct, and it has eyery
appearance of authenticity, may turn out to he
of great importance as bearing on the fate of
the missing Arctic expedition under Sir John
Franklin. 1t is to the effect that intelligence
has been conveyed to the Russian government
at st. Petersburg, that several of what are call
ed glass balls, have been found by the natives at
the mouth of the river Obi, which falls into the
Arctic basin at the seventeen parallel of lati-
tude. The Russian authorities transmitted this
information without delay to our foreign Office:
and a request has been despatched that some Of
the so-called "glass balls" more probably bot
ties, may be, if possible, SECURED and Transmits
ted to England. The locality where these balls
Or bottles are said to have been found Is pre-
cisely that to which they would probably have
drifted, had they been thrown overheard or 9th.
erwise detached from Franklin's ships, in case
the latter had attained a high northern latitude;
Tor the current of the Arctic ocean sets along
the Siberian towards the European coast, as is
evidenced by the great quantity of drift wood,
&c, found on the shore. 1t would, of course.
be premature to arrive at the conclusion that
these glass balls are relies of Franklin's expe-
ditlon; but the information. crude though it be,
is OF too important and curious Il nature to be
summarily dismissed as unworthy of attention.

Rather Cool for the Season.-On the night of
the 9Th inst, acouple of thieves forced the cell
lar door of A. NJ. Fuller, No. Sc Portland ST.,
Boston, and by going through the cellar got
into his bar-room, when, taking the money till
and its contents, some seventeen dollars in
change, they retraced their way back. The
Post says:
Seating themselves upon the steps in front
of the house, they commenced the operation of
counting and dividing the plumber. Fuller,
awakened at the noise they made, thrust his
head from a window over the door, and deman-
ded what they were about. They coolly told
him it was none of his - business. "You
have been into my bar, hav'nt you?" said he
~aYes." sand got all my change?" yes
"Well, let me have it and I'll give you bills for
it; change is at a premium" sNo, sir" "Well
them" said Fuller, growing magnanimous, Sin
the language of the man in Congress, go home,
you, where you belong!" They imme-
,diately went.

A Cool Man.-We find the following in the

The cool man of the nineteenth century set
ties himself in the only cushioned chair in your
Office, carelessly throws his legs upon the pol
ished slab of a mahogany table, puffs his cigar
smoke on the leeward of your smellers, squirts
his tabacco juice two inches beyond the spit
toon, knocks off the ashes with his little finger,
as to besprinkle your broadcloth, and leaves
Ibis stubs on the desk or window sill.
