ANOTHER TRAGEDYl-Another mur-
der took place Sunday afternoon on
George between Race and Elm streets.
The particulars as we learn them are as
follows: A few months since a man
named John Ellis Murray succeeded in
enticing young female named Eliza
beth Clay, to elope with him to this
city, promising to marry her after they
arrived here. By Misrepresentation,
as is alleged, he postponed the marriage
from day to day, and then from week
to week, and a few days since began to
taunt her as not being true woman.
Again promising most solemnly to mar
~ her the next day, he managed to Sc
duce her, and returned to his boarding
house. For several days she did not
see nor hear from him and began to
make enquiries as to his whereabouts.
She yesterday learned that on Friday
night last, he had married female
named Mary Brandon, and that they
were residing in the basement of a
house on George between Elm and Race
streets. Procuring a pistol she pro-
ceeded to the house, and, knocking at
the door, was admitted by Murray's
wife. Murray, who was seated in one
correr of the room rose much agitated,
and demanded what she wanted in his
house. She enquired the cause of his
desertion and marriage to another fe-
male. He replied that he had right
to do as he pleased, and wished her to
leave his presence. Just as he was ap-
preaching her, evidently to compel her
to leave the house, she drew her pistol
and fired; the ball entered his head,
and he fell corpse at her feet. She
then went out and told some of the
citizens what she had done and re-
quested them to show her to the Watch
House, that she might give herself up.
The citizens went with he to the watch
house, where she gave herself up, and
was lodged in one of the cells.

THE RrFLE.-Many persons who are
very expert in the use of the rifle know
nothing of the principle on which it
operates, and would be at loss if
asked why grooved barrel throws a
ball truer than smooth bore. The rea-
sons are these:
In the first place, no bullet is or can
be cast perfectly spherical. One side is
always heavier than the other, and the
ball therefore swerves from the right
line of projection. However hard it
may be to prove this theoretically, prac-
tice demonstrates it. The same smooth
bore, immovably fixed, twice loaded,
with the same charge, of the same
powder, and with balls cast in the same
mould, will not plant them both in the
same spot, at the same distance. The
rifle barrel is a female screw, which
gives the tightly driven ball a rotary
motion, so that if the bullet or rather
the slug, swerves with one twist of the
screw, another revolution corrects the
error.
There are but three motions in a rifle
ball-the straight forward, the spiral
and the downward, caused by the power
of gravity. A rifle of thirty to the
pound drops its ball about a foot in a
hundred yards. Rifles are sighted
therefore TO meet this deviation. On
leaving the barrel the ball moves above
the line of sight. continually falling in
a parabollical curve, till it intersects it.
The point of intersection is called the
point blank.
Who invented the rife is not known.
Its principle was known to the North
American Indians before the discovery
of the continent. Their arrows are
feathered spiraIly, and move precisely
in the same manner of rifle ball.

AURORA BoREALIs.-The Portland
Eclectic records some interesting facts
about the Aurora Borealis. Last week,
says that paper, we alluded to bril-
liant display of the Aurora Borealis;
1--WE have since learned that the tele-
graphic wires were strongly affected by
it on the night in question. We also
learn that the mode in which this phe-
nomenon acts upon the wires Of the
telegraph, goes to confirm the received
opinion that it is magnetic in its nature.
When the telegraph is interrupted by
atmospheric electricity, as it is some
times called-that, is, by thunder
storms, it always comes into the offices
with a shock or spark, frequently so in
tense as to melt the wires around the in
struments. On the contrary, when the
wires are affected by the Aurora Bor-
calls, no sparks is shown, but its action
is continuous-sometimes very strong
at one Office and feeble at another, so as
to stop work; at others, more equally
diffused, and regular, so that the opera
tors have taken off their batteries and
worked with the Aurora alone; and
again, on other occasions, it reYerses the
current, so that closing the key opens
the circuit, and, in order to write, the
operators have to reverse the action OF
the key. In all its phases, however,
its action is that of the galvanic electro
city, and not the electricity of the thun-
der-cloud. These facts are interesting
they are new to us, aud probably
may be to many of our readers"

WAR IN EuRoPE-Irs EFTEcrs upoE
THIS COUNTRY, &e.-Mr. Reemelin.
distinguished German of Cincinnati,
now corresponding for the New York
Evening Post from Europe. writes thus
to that paper:
On the whole, then, let me state itas
general fact, that Western Europe
must purchase large quantities Of
breadstuffs from the United States.
Meats viii be plenty next winter
Public improvement of every descrip-
ton require the employment of large
masses of laborers; wages are rising;
all of which must contribute to large
consumption of breadstuffs. The gov
ernments, too, find it easier to feed their
subjects into submission than to force
them down when hungry. They fear q
repetition of the hungry years of '45
and '46, because they, and the rich,
know that they rule over people whose
ferocious disposition towards them needs
but the ignition to produce a frightful
mass of massacres in every hamlet, on
every hill, and in every valley Of
Europe, such as cannot find counter
page in history. The bread of Demo-
cratic America is their only hope in this
dark crisis of their fate.
PEEPS policy to give to England's
laborers cheap bread, and thus avoid a
revolution, has sunk deep into the heads
of the wiser statesmen of Europe
Louis Napoleon is about to follow it,
Russia cannot be very successful COM
petitor in the grain markets with the
United States. The conflicts with Tur-
key will last longer than most people
imagine; and for some time, at least.
Russia must maintain large armies; and
that will not only diminish production
it will increase consumption. All it
needs in the United States is an ad-
ministration like JeffeEson's, which,
gentle as doves and wise like serpents,
understands to keep for American in
dustry an open and free pathway in the
worlds commerce, and in very few
months America viii be the market
where Europe must buy, in more senses
than one, its staff of life.
And here is another paragraph,
which has interest for many hereabouts:
Let America prepare for dear wines,
because all over Europe that fatal dis
ease, called "Traubenkrankheit," is
spreading. 1t consists in white mil
dew, that spreads over the whele grape
and completely destroys it. 1t is as in
explicable to vineyard men as the potato
disease to farmers. Italy and Tyrol are
fatally affected by it. In Germany it
is Just beginning to make Its appear
anee. Grapes on trelisses are worse af-
fected by it than those in vineyards
No cure has yet been found, and it is
all over grape-growing Eu-
rope. The papers are full of proposed
remedies, but none give permanent re-
lief. Political economists stand aghast
at future in which there is to be neither
wine for the rich nor potatoes for the
poor.

NEBRAsKA.-The Platte (Missouri)
Argus says: "Col. Manypenny. Com
missioner of Indian Affairs, has ad-
dressed the Delawares and some other
tribes of Indians, desiring them to make
known to him, on his return from visit
ing the tribes above, their wishes in ref
erence to the sale of the whole or part
of their lands. We learn also that the
Shawnees are willing to dispose of the
south half of their territory, and that
the Delawares are willing to sell the
north half of their land The price
which these Indians will ask is about
81 95 per acre. The Kickapoos will
probably sell out in toto, as this fall they
viii draw their last annuity. They
want hunting grounds, which can bepro-
vided on the Washita river. Upon the
whole, we think the prospect for srtia-
gushing the title to a large portion Of
the Indian lands in Nebraska very good,
better than we had expected. Nothing
is calculated to retard or prevent this
arrangement but the ill-advised and ille-
pal irruption or intermeddling of ire
sponsible and unauthorized whites, who
may irritate and provoke the Indians.
0nething is certain, that all such t0ill
Be drieen of. The true friends of Ne

ulate themselves upon the happy antici-
patton Of an early consummation Of ls.

come down, as they viii. when produc-
ton shall come up to the point of con.
sumption. At present the iron bust.
ness is more profitable than any other
can be. None but the knowing ones are
aware of this. l venture guess, that
clear profit of $50, or over, is now
realized on every ton of pig sold al
present prices. s45. With such profits,
capital must flow into this channel, as
certain as the waters of the Ohio run
toward the Mississippi.
Now, at present, there is no point on
the Ohio river, which presents more
favorable point for the manufacture oI
iron, than will Gallipolis when this rail-
road is completed. Iron and coal will
be accessible in from l6 to 25>miles.-
Coal can be delivered at freight of a
cent per bushel, making cost, to one
owning a bank on its line. of not over
five cents per bushel. This is as cheap
as fuel can now be obtained at Ironton,
cheaper than it can be obtained at Ports
mouth.
Gallipolis is, in its location, the finest
town on the Ohio. 1t lies high above
the floods of the Ohio, with real estate
at one half the value it bears at either
Pomeroy, Ironton,y or Portsmouth
Living too, is cheaper here than at either
of the other points named. 1t is encir-
cled with good agricultural country.
Gallia county is better agricultural
county than either. Scioto, Lawrence,
Meigs or Washington; and hence the
means of living will always be cheaper
than at either of the other towns
named.
All these considerations demonstrate
that capital will come here for invest
ment, as well as at Ironton; as it can
here obtain cheaper land and cheaper
living, with as cheap iron and coal as at
any point on the Ohio.
A vast local business must then grow
up along and on this road, equal to that
of any other road in the State. l know
of no thirty-three miles of railroad in
Ohio that offers as good prospects to be
profitable as this one; and | am willing
to leave the decision of the question to
any one acquainted with all the facts.
This road, too, is an important branch
to the Marietta and Cincinnati road,
and its Importance to that road is fully
appreciated by its stockholders and in
telligent board of directors. Hence
they are disposed to aid in all ways
they can its early completion. Our
citizens are also alive,to its importance.
1t is now thought that subscription of
near or quite $500, 900 can be obtained
in Gallia county, which, with the aid
that is already promised, it is thought
will secure the commencement of the
road this winter, or early in the spring.
1 have written what have, in order
to attract the attention of capitalists
and contractors; since the time ap-
proaches, when contractors will espe-
cially be interested in knowing what
work is about being let, as well as the
character and prospects of theroad.-
While projects with not half the merits
have been bepraised and pulled, we
have remained quiet, maturing our
plans, and making sure of our road.

SCARCITY IN GREAT BRTTAIS.-The
London correspondent of the National
Intelligencer, under date of Spet. 9th,
says:
The calculation among the corn-deal-
ers at present is, that, after estimating
the produce of the present harvest,
Great Britain will require an importa-
ton of 100000 quartes of grain Of
all kinds; that is 100000 quarters
of wheat and -four and 5000, 900 quar-
ters of barley, oats, Indian corn and
rye. Our spectators are calculating
that Canada will send England at least
1000, 900 quarters of wheat and -four,
and that the United States will supply
about 4,OOO,o 900 of quarters.

So I viii choose one, only,
Whose love shall never end.
Yes! yesl 1 viii get married;
III seek gentle wife,
And smoothly we'll be carried
Adown the stream of lifel
Wen glide, fondly forgiving
Each others erring way,
And love as long as living,
And, loving, pass awayl
I'll have child, in gladness
To climb upon my knee,
And when Pm sick with sadness,
To prattle unto mel
Yes, children! who will love me,
And cheer when weak and wan,
And drop tear above me,
And praise me when I'm gone.
Well have little dwelling,
In some dim, shady nook,
Where song-bird's notes are swelling
Beside purling brook
Well have flower garden,
Blooming in perpetual May,
And ] will be the warden
To keep all cares away.
What though my head is sprinkled
With coming winters snow!
What though my brow is wrinkled,
l can catch affections glow!
What though this form is meagre-
A throbbing heart is there,
And hopes, bright. young and eager,
Within its depth 1 bear!
Then where's the gentle maiden
I'll choose me for wife!
Who'll bring heart love-laden,
To share my pleasant lifel
Once loving eyes were beaming,
Meath many glorious browl
AlasI Ihave been dreaming
Who? who would wed me now?
