Homicide i'm Warren County. n. j,

A few days since, a dispute occurred
between two men at the village of Wash
ington, which had fatal termination
The Warren Journal furnishes the follow,
ing particulars:
1t appeaes that man named Tanning
had, for reasons unknown to US, separa'
ted from his wife, and lived thus for some
length of time, without aiding to support
his family A man named George Nixor
and Tanning were in Bruner's bar-room
at Washington, when Nixon twitted the
latter of the fact Of his wife's desertion-
Tanning became enraged, and slapped
his accuser in the face. Nixon dared no
to retaliate, for Tanning was a powerful
man and could easily mastered him.
Nixon left the hotel, went over to John
ston's store which is nearly opposite, OBJ
tanned an ax-handle, and when Tanning
came out to 60 to bis boarding house, fol
lowed him, and struck him upon the head
bringing him to the earth. Nixon ther
jumped upon his stomach, which he did
for some time, and then he left him. This
was little after noon. The wounded
man got home, as best he could, where
he was taken with violent vomiting, and
suffered great pain, until 8 o'clock al
night, when his spirit took fight. Nixon
left the place, but was secured on Satur.
day, and committed to our Jail the same
evening, where he now awaits his trial.
Considerable eyoitement nrnvails In
Washington, and throughout the county
The affair is surprising to those who are
acquainted with Nixon, as he has always
been considered quiet and peaceable
citizen. Tanning was an Irishman by
birth-a tailor by occupation. Neither
of the parties were under the influence Of
rum.

An Interesting Decision.

A decision of some Importance has
been rendered by Judge Williams, o.
Pittsburg. Some time ago man named
Philip Schymble, was convicted of kee
ping a tipping house, and fined $75.--
The Commissioners of the County took
the prisoners bond for the debt, and wrae
release for Schymble' which was hand
ed to Mr.. Mitchell, the engineer of the
Jail, the Sheriff and jailor being absent
Mitchell thinking all right released the
prisoner from confinement. When the
Sheriff returned, he arrested Schymble
and remitted him to prison, contending
that the Commissioners could not dis
charge him till the sentence of the court
was complied with. To settle the matter,
the prisoner was taken on habeas corpus,
before Judge Williams, who decided that
the Commissioners could not discharge
one on their order. If, however, the
Sheriff and Commissioners were agreed
on the matter, the poisoner might be re-
leased from confinement,

Rabid Sheep and Hogs.

About three or four weeks since, we
learn from the Delaware County RePub-
ican, rabid dog got into the sheep-fold
of Thomas and joseph Miller, residing
near Chadd's Ford, Chester county, and
killed three of the flock Since then
sixteen of the sheep have gone mad, and
been shot The sheep were a superior
lot, of improved stock, worth eight OF
ten dollars per head. One of the hogs
belonging to the same gentlemen was al
so bitten, and went mad. The Messrs
Miller design killing six other hogs,
which, they fear, have been bitten Their
own dog went mad, and was also killed

much destitution among animals from q

The New Orleans papers of the oath

Another statement gives the number
Of deaths for the week ending July 9th
at FIVE hundred. This last statement is
nearer the truth than the former one
of those attacked by the disease more
than one half die, in defiance of the best
medical treatment.
In private practice the fever is increas-
aug, and they die so fast that hearses can
not be had for all, and they have to take
cabs to convey some of the dead to the bur

Hospital are put in rough pine boxes
made at tho Work-Housc, and are taken,
to Potter'S Field in carts, seven being a

High Rents i'm California.

A late letter from San Francisco says:
One of the most startling facts con
nected with California, is the enormously
high rents which property in favorable
localities commands. Notwithstanding
the rapid multiplication of houses in all
the chief towns, rents have abated very
little from the highest point to which
they have ever attained since the discov-
cry of gold in this region. A few months
ago the Union Hotel, a wooden structure,
ia this city, was consumed by fire. The
proprietor has erected upon the same site
magnificent fre-proof brick building,
four stories high, and which is furnished
with an elegance and good taste which
would do credit to New York or Boston.
Indeed, | have rarely seen a more impo-
sing structure anywhere. This building
has just been completed at cost, | learn
of about seventy-fve thousand dollars,
and is now under rent at six thousand
dollars per naoeth, A vender of cigars
has little stand in one corner Of the
main saloon or bar-room, for which he
pays rent Of six hundred dollars per
month @

increase ofthe territory in settlement and
population, and the multiplication OF
houses at all the principal points In the
town of St. Paul, according to the Pjo-

this season, or in process of erection, is
almost incredible. Two new hotels of
convenient and commodious description
are in progress of building, and it is ad-

1 Climax,

We mentioned yesterday the speech oi
President Pierce, at New York, as q
wretched affair." We had not then OBJ.
served, in its full sweep, the climax with
which the Chief Magistrate capped one
of his massive senrences. 1t deserves
separate preservation, and a spot peculiar
in the records of the great doings ofthc
great occasion.
Says the President, speaking the while
to the Mayor about this great nation
and we are, it must be admitted, very
great people-says the president -
"Who will set limits to your just ambition,
when The Atlantic is bridged with Steamers
TO the shores of Europe, and united to the
Pacific by the great thoroughfare that will
eventually bind these States together as with
hOopS!"
Hoops! The thought is a happy one,
and has the rare merit of freshness.--
Nothing could be more felicitously emble-
matte of the pcrvading and absorbing i
dea of our statesmen of the day-Union
than ho0pS. 1t will occur to the read
er that there is no end to hoop, and we
would have no end to the Union. And
what could be more firmly united than
the slaves of rum barrel, for instance,
which have no bond of union but hoops.
Let a barrel be sufficiently strong, and
sufficiently bound with hoQps, and what
weight will crush it? Peloin on Ossa,
and both on the barrel, would not pro
duce squeak. And as for bursting a
we'll hooped barrel, the thing is we'll nigh
impossible. La the days of L. D. Rice it
is true, we heard of
An Indiana Hoosier from our town,
A molasses hogshead swalered down,
The hoops flew off and the hogshend bust,
And blew him up in thunder-gust
So clenr de kitchen, &C.
But in that case, we plead defective coop
ering in bar to any judgement against
hoops. The hOQpS flew off before the ca
tastrophe occurred; and had not Mr.. Pres
ident Pierce's emblem of Union slipped
off, there would have been no explosion.
1t was happy use of "hoops;" and in
honor of the President we suggest that
there be a new reading of one Of our mostI
popular political maxims, SO that it shall
run
In hoops there is strength.
And, in fact, there is small hope of our
future as people, five do not daily and
hourly take lessons from hoops.
The President would have gratfed us
had he proceeded to specify whether his
hoops were of hickory or Juniata IRON
The difference is important If hickory,
be spoke as the mere partizan, appealing
to the shade of an illustrious predecessor;
# of IRON he talks like patriot, and we
may conjure from hoops hope for an in
crease of the tariff on iron at least. In any
sense, and at all events, the figure was a
'ne, and we respond to hoops, with .

80 TriuMDhe !"

For years past, the Wings of this state
have urged the sale of the public improve
ments, and we are rejoiccd to perceive
indications, now in the ranks of Locofo-
coism of corporation in support of this
measure. At the Locofoco meeting in
Berks county last week, Hon. Henry a.
Huhlenberg and Hon. William Strong,
both took strong ground in favor of the
measure, and though opposed by others,
had sufficient influence to carry the meet
ing with them, and secure the adoption
of the following resolutions:
ReSofced, That PAST EXPERIENCE has
shown the absolute necessity of the DEM
oCRATIC party insisting strenuously upon
the practice of RIGID ECONOMY in both
State and General Governments, thereby
preventing that LAVISH EXPENDITURE,
which, IF CARRIED ON, bids fair to enguli
BOTH GOVERNMENTS and people in a COM
MON RUIN.
ReS0tged, That we cannot approve OF
the large, and in some cases EXTRAvA-
CANT APPROPRIATIONS made by the Leg
islature for the past two years; and that
we commend the conduct of our Senator
and members in opposing them, and in
struct their successors to pursue the same
course, for we hold it to be a well settled
principle that the State debt should not
be INCREASED for any cause whatever,
except that of national defence.
Rcsolrecl, That we approve of the pro
ject of an IMMEDIATE SALE OE ALL THE
PUBLIC Works now opened by the Com
monwealth, inasmuch as PAST EXPERT
ENCE has shown that it is UTTERLY I'M
POSSIBLE to have them WELL and
HONESTLY MANAGED whilst in the hands
of the State, because their sale would
render reduction of taxation possible,
and because we believe that their reten-
ton in the hands of the State is exerting
prejudicial effect upon the MORALS not
only Of the Legislature, but of the people
of the Commonwealth, and that therefore
our Senator and Representatives are
hereby instructed to introduce or support
an act providing for such sale.
The Journal alluding to the proceed
ings says it was amusing to see the Locos,
who still swear by the Ad5er, (Which for
so many years has served as the political
bible of Berks county, but whose teachings
are no longer orthodox prick up their
ears and shake their heads, while listen
ing to the wholesome truths administered
to the party by Messrs. Muhlenberg and
Strong. They had always been told by
the Adler that the stories about fraud
and peculations on the public works, were
50 many Wing lies, got up for the effect;
to operate against the democracy but
here was an admission from leaders OF
their own party, made in their own meet
ing, that these charges were true. 1t
will 60 hard for Adler to keep them any
longer in the dark after this expose
They begin to see that all is not right,
and that the apple thieves the Adler
talks so much about are really members
of their own party-who for the last
thirty years have had these works under
their exclusive control.

Another Terrible Railroad ACci-
dent---Ten Men Killed.

We learn from an extra from the Office
of the Lam5ertrjNe DiajSt, that a most
terrible and heart rt-rendering accident oc-
CURED on Friday evening, on the Belvi-
dere Railroad, about nine miles above
Lambertville, by which ten persons were
killed, and several others very seriously
injured The train, consisting of ten or
twelve cars, conveying the laborers on the
canal to their homes, was thrown off the
track at place called the Bull Head, in
consequence drumming over ccw, and
several Of the cars smashed to atoms.--
There were some 200 laborers on the
train, ten of whom were almost instantly
killed, and number of others injured.
The news Of the terrible calamity was
Immediately dispatched to Lambertville,
and several physicians repaired to the
scene of the disaster, to lend their aid to
the unfortunate. Drs. Lilly, Keen and
Reilly, of Lambertville, and DR.. Foulke,
of New Hope, ministered as fully as they
were able to the sufferers, and afterwards
some of the dead, and many of the injur-
ed, were brought to Lambertville, and
others taken in charge by their friends.
The following is list Of the killed.
Mathew Malone, Michael Conely, John
Irving, jeremiah Leavy, Michael Nc
Gerrick, Bartholomew Shehan, Thomas
Murran, Michael Dalton, John Dignan
and Patrick Coffee Besides these there
are some ten or fifteen others very badly
injured. Many having their legs broken.
One man named John Conroy, was so
terrible mangled that no hope Of his recoy-
cry is entertained.
The accident occurred just at the dusk
of evening, but as the intelligence of the
disaster spread, the citizens focked to
the scene from the various farm houses in
the vicinity, and rendered every assistance
ia their power.
The entire train was thrown off the
track, and several of the cars upset and
crushed beneath the others.
