Whig Extravaganza.

1t appears, says the Richmond Wing,
that there will be some twenty-three mil
lions surplus in the treasury on the 1st of
July. This is the prosperous condition
a Whig Administration leaves the coun-
try in; yet we everlastingly hear Demo
cracy prating over Wing extravaganza
about election times, and telling the dear
people that the Whigs are not to be en-
trusted with the public money. When
did ever a democratic Administration
leave surplus in the treasury! On the
other hand, they have always left ex-
hausted Golfers and an accumulated debt.
Already the organs of the party are set
ting to work to devise some plan to spend
the surplus left by the Wings. As the
ostensible means Of making way with it.
some of them propose to plunge the couu-
try headlong into another war. The peo-
pie need give themselves no concern a.
bout the disposition of this surplus. A
Democratic Administration can spend it.

The Allentown (Pa.) Democrat states
that Mr.. G. NJ. Foering, of that place, in
connection with couple of gentlemen
from Southampton county, have the pat
ent for a new lime kiln of novel CON
struction, which possesses such decided
advantages over every other kind of kiln
as to promise an entire revolution in the
lime burning business. 1t is thus desert
bed: The kiln is lined with fire. brick,
and is 81 feet high, with hopper on the
top, capable of holding large quantity
of stone, which keeps falling down into
the kiln as fast as the lime is drawn out
below. 1t will burn on an average 200
bushels of lime per day. Wood is used
in burning, and three or four pieces of or
binary hickory or oak wood will last half
an hour. Two cords of wood will burn
between 200 and 800 bushels of the best
lime. The lime is drawn off every twelve
hours. The kiln is the invention of Mr.
Scheveder, of Rochester, N. Y.

A fatal accident occurred on the rail
road near Wilmington, Del, on the 18th
inst. The cars were thrown off the track
by piece of wood which had been mali
ciously placed across the rails. Three
persons got on the train between the ex-
press and baggage cars at Wilmington, un-
known to the conductor, to avoid paying
the fare. One of them, j. NJ. Jones Of
Philadelphia, was instantly killed-and
the others named James Riddle and John
jeffrey, residing in Baltimore, have since
died. The company offer a reward of
5000 for the discovery of the miscreant
who placed the wood on the track. The

A novel funeral procession might have
been witnessed in Petersburg on Thurs
day. A negro drayman having been ac-
cidentally drowned, he was escorted to
his last resting place by all the draymen
of the Cockade City. The horses he had
driven during his sojourn on earth were
led by groom Immediately behind the
hearse, and were followed up by the prin-
cipal mourners mounted upon dray.-
These in their turn were succeeded by
something like one hundred drays, and
drawn by two horses, making in all cav
alCade nearly mile long, and composing
the noisiest, if not the most impressive,
funeral procession it has ever been our
misfortune to witness.

HOrrid Murder i'm Ulster Co. N. Y,

One of the most brutal and revolving mur-
ders ever perpetrated, says The Kingston
Republican, was committed in the Town OF
Woodstock, in this County, on Friday after
noon last, and that, the murder of a wife by
her husband! George A. Wentworth and
his wife Harriet had some dispute on that day
as was customary with them. Wentworth
left the house, short distance from which
he waited the departure of his son, when he
returned, entered the house, approached his
wife from behind, seized her by the hair, and
drawing her head back, cut her throat, with
a razor, from ear to ear, nearly severing her
head from her body. Their daughter, aged
about l6 years, was present, and in attempt
ing to rescue her mother received severe
wounds on her arms. Wentworth was imme-
diately arrested, but suffered to witness the
funeral of his victim, on Saturday. He was
wholly unmoved. On Saturday evening he
was lodged in the County Jail in this village
Wentworth is about 80 years of age, and his
wife was year or two younger. They had
light children, all Of whom are living.

zg-W THE PUBLIC.-There has recent
ly been presented for payment, at tn STAGE
Treasury, about $S5 900 fraudulent Comptroll-
er's Warrants. The blanks and signature of
the Comptroller is undoubtedly genuine, hav-
ing been purloinsd from his office
The public are hereby cautioned against
purchasing warrants until they have been
carefully examined and compared with those
that are properly and legally filed up and is
sued
Any person familiar with the genuine, could.
by even the SLIGHTEST eqamination, as the fill
ing up, signature at time of register, &C.,
are unlike any that have been issued from the
flee.
1t is believed that few, if any, more are in
circulation, for had many of the blanks been
obtained they must have been missed, having
been, with bonds and school warrants, signed
in blank, as we'll as other evidences of indebt-
edness issued and awaiting delivery, often
kept for some time before called for and Sc
cured, where they were daily under the notice
of those employed in the office, and as well
protected as they could have been without
necessary safes OF vaults not yet provided by
the state for that office. The redemption On of
any of the fraudulent warrants by the state,
would be impossible, as the numbering, date,
filing up. and other proofs, on tehir face, of
their illegal character, would at once be de-
tected. WINSLOW S. PIERCE,
