STABBING.---We learn from the
Mraysville papers that man named
Edward Jewett was driving his empty
wagon few days since between Dry
Creek and the Galena House. He
was on his way to Marysville, when
he was accosted by stranger, who
wished to ride, which was granted
him, and he got in and seated himself
behind Mr.. Jewett, who soon after felt
stabbed. He turned on the
villain with a piece of board, but he
jumped out Of the wagon and made his
escape. Mr.. Jewett ran his team to
the Galena House, where he died a
day or two after. He had with him
at the time $585. No clue exists who
is the murderer.

telegraph, one day later:
Boston, jan. Co. The train of cars
on the Boston and Maine Railroad was
to-day thrown off the track, near And
over, and several persons were injur-
ed, some fatally. Among the passen-
gers were Gen. Franklin Pierce, his

The Flood IN the ohio From the
Louisyil papers of the 50th Dec, we
learn that duTin. the previous "a
hours the river rose five feet and sew
en- iaches in front OF the city, ard all
Of the houses along the line OF the
wharf were submerged and the river
extending one third of the way up the
cross streets. On the evening OF the
29th, the water was in on the first
floor Of the store Of Ford Il Brother on
the opposite side of Wall street, and
the second story of many Of the houses
on Water street, were inundated. The
Courier says:
The suffering and losses of hundreds
of poor families who reside along the
river is very great Prom the upper
wharf all the way up along the creek,
and the saw mills, the whole country
is ovcrhowcd, without vcstige of dry
ground TO be seen in any direction.
Some six "r eight acres Of lumber are
in great danger of being swept off by
tie flood.
The rolling mill, flour mills, and the
Louisville bagging manuiactory are
inundated, and operations of course
suspended. In the lower part Of the
city, the factories, including the boiler
makers and Smithers, are all overflow
ed and their material under water.
Shippinsport, opposite New Albany,
is entirely ovcrtlowed, not q foot of
dry land to be secl.
At New Albany the water rose so
fast the merchants had difficulty in re-
moving ther goods out of its way.
The pork houses there and at Shaw
neetown, were all inundated, causing
great losses. AT last account the wa
ter lacked but fur feet of being as
high as in l847, and was then rising
at the rate Of / 1-2 inches per hour.

ed that during the early part of Gen

were taken to enforce the payment of
the celebrated claim made by our gov

lndemnltica tion ior the loss of the Amer
lean priSateer General Armstrong. in
1914. Finally, from the coercive meas.
urcs adopted by General Taylor in 1919
the affair was brought to an issue. and
the Secretary Of State, Mr.. CLAYTON. and
the Portuguese Minister, agreed. on be.
half of their respective governments. TO
submit the whole matter to the arbitra.
tion of Louis Napoleon, the then Pres;
dent of France. That parsonage has
since then been made one of the reiyn-
ing monarchs of Europe We new learn
by the last advices from Paris, that on
the llth of December an award was
made by Louis Napoleon adverse to the
claim of the United States, and in favor
of the Portuguese government. The
matter was one of deep interest, and the

M4rder in Sonora. - We regret
being obliged to record this week a
most atrociouS murder, which took
place on Wednesday last, near this
city. The victim was a middle aged
man, OF the name Of Stanley, well
known in Sonora, who resided about
three miles from the raachc Of Mayor
Dodge, His companions had gone
out hunting day or two before, leav-
ing him at home. He was discovered
shot through the body, apparently in
the act of planning board in front of
the house. The plane had only tra-
versed one half the usual distance, the
