HANNIBAL AND NAPLES RAILROAD.

A Springfield correspondent OF the Pike coun-
ty Free Press says:
The Pike County Railroad bill was intro
duced into the Senate several days since, as you
know. To-day it came up in regular order of
business. and the vote being upon ordering the
bill to third reading, it failed-eight votes for
it, thirteen against it, This defeat of matter
OF SO much Importance 10 Pike county, as well
as to this part of the State, has surprised and
disappointed It's ffieulS, u. Il was generally Ut
derstdod that more liberal policy would pre-
vail at the present session OF the Legislature
Much has, and will be said, in relation 10 the
course pursued by Mr.. Wood, who is the Sena-
tor from Pike and Adams. Previous TO the
election he gave the most solemn WriHen pledges
to the voters Of Pike that this measure should
receive his hearty support; and as he was known
to be reliable and true man, he received the
entire wing vote of the county, and BY it was
elected.
At the June special session of the legislature
his bill passed the senate; and do not hesitate
to say that had Senator Wood desired it, the bill
would have passed again at this session-true
he voted for 1t; but it was generally understood
that he wished it beaten. | well know and
much deplore the situation in which he was
placed; but it was voluntary on his part; and
now thg question is, has he redeemed his pledge?
To my mind he has not. And unless he calls
up this bill again, and by the influence which
know he has, passes it through the Senate,
for one have done with him now and forever
And just here Mr.. Editor, | wish to say fur
Their, that hope and trust the connection be-
tween Pike and Adams countless whether as
Senatorial distrct-a part Of the same Circuit
or in any other way, ,rhatever, ought to be sep
arated; and hope the representatives from this
district will attend to this matter.

"PRIzE PREMIUM" COOK STOVE.


This superior article has only been in since jan
uary, 1851 and since that they have given such uni
versal satisfaction that they now the principal
stove sold up the Illinois, Missouri and Mississippi

ting division in the draft below. divides the heat as il
passes under the and prevents II from all
iratmg the centle Of the freplae, il does in 9th
er stoves OF similai form.
Another great improvement! in the Premium Stove
is the Patent Damper which is constructed as in

turning TIC 12mrcr ~ l"" yor can throw the has,

have just made another great Improvement in Fill
ley's Patent Prize Premium stove, BY addn- 10 it a
large, heaVy Crate for the wood TO rest on, Which not
only aids the draft by keeping it always clear; but al2o
keeps the wood from breaking, and burning OFT The
botiem Oft the stove.
This Crate is made so as to prevent the wood from
falling against The doors, and burning them through
is the case with stoves tha( have CRATES; and as we
have The only Premium Cook Stoves that have Crates
in them, hesitate not In saying that sell a
cheaper and better stove than be had elsewhere in
the western country. Persons wishing 10 buy stoves
would do well to call before purchasing.
The difference between Fnley's Baeht Premium
and other stoves OF The same form IN use, are, in
the first place, the Improvements made in the Draft
Damper; and secondly contraction olthe smoke fues
by which the heat is more confined against the Oven

HANNIBAL JOURNAL, FEBRUARY 3, 1853. :
SUPPOSED MURDERER ARRESTED.

Some two weeks since young man near
Henderson, in Knox county, whose name we
have not learned, went out into the woods, with
an axe TO fell timber, since which time he has
not been heard Of. His axe is said TO have been
found in the grove covered with blood. Two
young men-boys rather--said that they had
given ihe missing man good whipping, and
were afraid they had killed him. Soun after
ward the boys ran away from the neighborhood.
When il was found that The young man did not
return, considerable excitement was elected, es-
pecially as no clue TO to his whereabouts could
be obtained, after thoEoggh search.
Last week an officer from Knox county ar
rested one Of the boys, supposed to have partiei-
pated in the murder Of the missing man, and
brought him into town. lie contriycd 10 give
the officer the slip, but was followed aud reta-
ken near Bald Bluff He was then securely tied
on horseback land conveyed to Knox Co., to UNI
dergo legal examination. We have heard the
name of the boy, but refrain giving it at present.
On Sunday evening, we saw poor woman
who, with q little boy, had footed it from Bur
lington in order to get into the Jail house to see
her poor brother" who, as she had been inform
ed was here. When she was informed that he
had been only arrested here and was then in
Knox County, she seemed much disappointed,
but expressed her determination 10 walk there
to see him. as she had no money. How strong
was the sisterly love which actuatcd this humble
woman's heart TO visit her brother in his adver-
sity! We trust the poor boy, who was only
about II years Did, may not be found guilty Of
so atrocious crime.-Oquawka Spectator.
