SF Cincinnati Is nice place, as can be
seen from the manner in which the Courts
are conducted. The following from the
Commercial of the 9Th will illustrate:
Yesterday, while the trial of Judge Finn
was progressing in the Police Court, At
torney Garraru, who was standing within
the "bar," was requested by Deputy Mar
shal Glay, pursuant to order Of the Court,
10 take a seat, and refused to comply
The Marshall insisted that he should be
seated, and Garrard presisted in refusing,
and deied the officer to remove him by force.
No sooner done than the officer opened the
door leading down 10 the cells, and taking
Mr.. Garrard by the collar, urged him yio-
lently in that direction, tearing his clothes
extensively. Gauard struck Intellectually
at the officer, but was qnickly overpowered
and dragged do~n the stairs, in course OF
which operation he received heavy blow
on the head fron "colt," supposed to have
been used by Mr.. Gray. He was placed
in cell, from which he was presently de-
livered, and his wounds were dressed by DR..
Sparks.
A scene of great confusion for moment
ensued in the Court room. Nearly all the
gentlemen in the bar room arose to their
feet. Mr.. 2. B. Manchester, among 9TH
ers, stood erect, aud Judge Spooner, sing
ling him from the crowd, called in a loud
voice; "Sit down, Mr. Manchester"
Being thus directly appealed to, that gen
tleman seemed inclined TO reply, SAYING
Judge" But the Judge again called out:
"Sit down Mr.. Manchester; gentlemen
must be seated within the bar" Where
upon Mr.. NJ. took his seat with rather more
than judicial dignity of manner.
Judge Spooner then proceeded to say
"This is the first time that our Conrt has
has been disgraced by such scene as this,
and we will INQUIRE into this difficulty until
we sift it to the bottom, and the law shall
fall heavy upon the men concerned in it
as heavy as it can be made to fall We
will hereafter order all parties concerned
under arrest"

Gg-The GreenSburgh, Pa, Republican,
Of the 9Th inst, contains the following ac-
count of an atrocious murdet committed in
that county:
Grimes everywhere appear alarningly
on the increase. Every day baings to light
some most diabolieal act--showing the inse-
curity of property and person. The prev
aent Gepravity has reached our generally
peaceful and moral country.
"On thursday night last, about the hour of
12 o'clock, two men, pretending to be Irish
men, called at the house of Mr.. Seachrist,
in South huntington township, and knock
ing at the door asked for admission. This
was refused, when they stated that they were
hungry and wanted something to eat, and
swore that they would get in. Mr.. S. got
out of bed and approached the door, when
they knocked it in with a piece of cord wood.
They Immediately entered and fred two
pistol shots at him, which took effect in the
front of his head. He fell to the floor. Mrs.
Seachrist came running at the desperadoes,
but was knocked down and struck with a
mattock until she was dead. They then
struch Mr.. S, several times with it, and left
him they supposed lfeless. Proceeding to
bureau they forced it open, and took took
about two hundred dollars of money. After
doing so, they put fire to the bedstead and
departed. When the flames began to grow
hot Mr.. Seachrist was aroused from his
stupor, and by almost superhuman efforts
made his way out Of the honse-and wan
dred about three fourths Of a mile to his
nearest neighbors, where he arrived without
any clothing and bathed in blood. The
neighborhood was aroused, but not until the
house was burned to ashes together with
the body of Mrs. Sedchrist Two indivii.
uals have been arrested, against whom strong
suspicious rests. They reside in the neigh.
borhood. They are Of the Dames Of Ward
and Gibson. Mr.. Seachrist is still alive,
and may recover. We hope he willard
that he will live to bring to severe justice
the reckless perpetrators Of such attrocious
crimes. The community must be protected.
and il wonld seem in this instance. as in
others, that murder cannot be concealed.
The proof against the accused parties are
very strong; but as the whole matter has 10

not give the proof as related to us.

Too True.

The Philadelphia Ledger contains the fol-
lowing sensible paragraph. If our banks
issued no bills of less denomination than
FIVE dollars, we would have less of this a.
bominable counterfeit trash among us:
CINc1SSATl appears to be the head quar-
ters of counterfeiting operations in this coun-
try. Scarcely paper that we pick up from
that city, but has an account of All ''impor.
tant arrest of counterfeiter" Like
most Of the Western States, the Legislature
of Ohio allows the people the State to be
plundered in this way, by authorizing a
circulation Of bank bills Of a .ess denomi-
nation than S5. AS nothing but small
notes are in the hands of the people, the
counterfeiters have a wide field for their
operations, and industriously improve it,
The fact shows the wisdom of the Pennsyl-
vania Legislature, in prohibiting small note
circulation.

} ,G. Gest is an Independent whig candi-
date for Representative in Green county, in
opposition to the regular nominee. Mr.. G..
is at present member and Secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture. TO hold that
position, it would be supposable, that he
was man of the right stamp. But the fol-
lowing from the Marysville Tnbune,a strong
whig paper, throws different light upon
the subject.
J. G. Gest, the Wing blackguard of the
House of Representatives of last winter, is
now an independent liquor candidate for
the House in Green. The last Torchlight
contains list of appointments for him to ad-
dress the people. If we were whig

harangues cause but little harm while the
same people who hear his speeches can see
his face. His personal appearance will do
more for Maine Law than his voice can a.
gainst it.

STRANGE SIGHT-SEYEETr SwARMs OF BEES
AT WAR.-Ezra Dlbbe, well known citi-
gen Of this town, and for many years en-
gagged xtensiyely in the management of
Bees. communicates to us the following in
teresting particulars Of battle among his
bees:
He has seventy swarms of bees, about
equally divided on the east and west side of
she house. On Sunday, August IA, about 3 o.
clock, the weather being warm d the windows
open, the house was suddenly filed with bees
and forced the family to flee at once to the
neighbors. Mr. p. after getting well pro-
iected against his assailants. proceeded to
take survey and if possible learn the cause
which had disturbed them. The seventy
swarms appeared to be out, and those on
one side of the house were arayed in battle
against those on the other side; and such a
battle perhaps never was before Witnessed.
They filed the air, covering a space Of
more than one acre Of ground, and fought
desperately for some three hours-nOt for
''spoils, but for conquest, and while at
war no living thing could live in the vicin-
i.y. They stung a large flock Of Shanghai
efickenes nearly all of which died, and per-
sons passing along the road side, wele OBJ
bIigcd TO make haste to avoid their sting
A little afyer VIZ o'alQck quiet was restored,
and the living bees retained to their hives,
lsayingth the slain almost covering the ground
since which BUTTE have appeared around
the hives, and thosa apparently stationed as
sentipels to watch the enemy. But two
yo1aq!g swarms ale entirely destroyed, and
aside from the terrible slaughter Of bees no
pther injury was done. Neither party vas
victorious, and they only ceased on the ap-
proach Of night, and from utter prostration.
The. occasion Of this warning among bees is
not easily accounted for; AMI those most
eonyersaht with their management never
before Witnessed or heard Of such a specta-
sie as here narrated - Coneam RepDrter.
