MuRDER-On Tuesday last Capt. Harris, of
the screw propeller Michigan, Killed Captain
Strothers, a gentleman we'll known in our city,
of the steamboat Toledo No. 2, up the Illinois
river, at Spring Creek bar, four miles below La
sale. The murder was committed by a double
barrelled shot gun, loaded with buck shot, in
the hands of Capt. Harris, the charge taking
effect along the neck and side of Capt. Strothers
producing instant death. The provocation was
merely the attempt of Capt. S. to run his boat
between canal boat and the Michigan, (both
Of which were aground,) against the wishes of
Capt Harris. AS soon as the deed was done
Harris jumped ashore and hid himself in the
| woods of that neighborhood. Pursuit was made,
| but up to the date Of our information, with no
effect. He is about six feet high, and has black
hair and sandy whiskers A reward of $3.50
has been offered for his apprehension, [st

As the night express train bound east. on the
Erie Railroad, was nearing Paterson, N. j.. on
Saturday morning, the 26th ult., some part of a
car brake became disarranged. A brakeman
named Edward Howard leaned out from the car
to discover the difficulty, when his head came in
contact with a pile cf wood, and he was knocked
off the train, which was moving at the rate Of
about thirty five miles an hour. The train was
stopped as quickly as possible, and the wounded
man brought to Jersey City, whence he was
taken to the New York Hospital. Strangely
enough, he appeared to have escaped with only
a few severe Commissions on the head, and with
out any broken bones.

We learn from the Greenup (Ky.) Record that
on Monday, the 18th ult John sennett, Jr., and
Geo. Meford had difficulty, in which several
blows passed between them, when sam'l Boyles
rushed between them and clinched Sennett,
who thereupon stabbed Boyles twice near and
just under the left shoulder blade, one of the
stabs penetrating the cavity Of the body. Boyles,
it is thought, will recover,
A few days later, another scene like the
aforesaid took place between Alexander Lewis
and John Weeks, both young men. Weeks re-
ceived horrible stab in the left side Of the alb
domen. His intestines protruded several inches
and he is said to be very badly cut; SO critical
indeed, is his condition, that no hopes are enter
tanned of his recovery.
Sennett was tried by an examining court fol
stabbing Boyles, and was by the court dis.
charged.

NEGRO EXECUTION AT MOUNT MEIGS. We
copied brief article the other day from the
Montgomery Journal, chronicling the murder Of
DR.. Mcdonnell, of Mount Meigs, by his negro
boy, and under circumstances of peculiar atroci-
ty. We learn from the Journal that the muir
derer received a striking and summary punish
attempted to punish the negro for impertinence
offered to his wife, (who was confined to her room
by sickness,) by the negro, that the boy resisted
and finally escaped from his master. The Doc
tor afterward went to the stable for his horse,
when he was waylaid by the boy armed with
heavy billet of hardwood, and beaten to death.
The wretch returned to the house and boosted
ofhis bloody deed. was Immediately arrested and
many of the neighbors wished to hang him at
once. This was overruled, but general meet
ing Of the planters was held next day which in
vestigated thoroughly all the circumstances, and
resolved unanimously on Immediately executing
by burning. The Journal says:
&c The gentlemen constituting the meeting
were men Of prudence, deliberation and intelli-
gence, and acted from an imperative sense of the
necessity of an example to check the growing
and dangerous characterization Of the slave popu-
voked, as DR.. Mcdonnell was humane master,
who rarely, if ever, punished his slaves-and
most especially the boy Gilbert, who was favor
lite body servant. The punishment was just and
prompt, and calculated to check the known evils

spinal disease, and, ike many other deformed
children, possessed the gift-in this case the
fatal gift-of acute intellect. For this quality,
it was decided that he was not the son of his re-
puted father, but a fairy changeling. After a
solemn convocation, it was decreed that the elfn
should be scared away; and the mode Of effect
ing this was by holding the child on hot
shovel, and then pumping cold water on his
head This had the effect of extorting a con-
fession of his imposture, and promise to send
| back the real Johnny Mahony; but, ere he
could return to elf-land and perform this pro-
mise, he died

A MOUNTAIN ON FIRE IN VERMoNT.-Extract
of q letter dated Sunderland, Vt, Wednesday
August %, 1854,--We are having very hot and
dry weather. There has not been SO severe a
drouth known for many years 1t has rained
but once for three months, and then only a
slight shower, lasting about twenty minutes,
just enough to lay the dust. The drouth
affects the crops most seriously Potatoes will
be just nothing at all, and other vegetables will
suffer nearly in proportion. 1t makes the farm
ers look quite discouraged and they feel as bad
as they look
The large mountain on the east of US is on
fire. 1t has been burning about five weeks, and
has burnt over about 400 acres of valuable tim
Der land, and will be very great loss to the
owners. The sight from my window, Of the
tall and thick forests all wrapped in light
blaze, is one of grandeur l never before be-
held.
The confagration is supposed to have been
set by some young men who went on the noun
| tain for frolic, and built a small fire to drive
| away the mosquitoes; but nothing certain is
known. We have much fear that unless a
heavy rain occurs soon, the fire will work its
way down into the surrounding villages and
cause still more terrible destruction. boston

SAD AcoIDENT.-Thursday evening, the 18th
ult, three little girls, daughters of Mr.. Reed, q
gentleman living near Independence, Ky, were
playing but short distance from their house,
when large tree, standing near where they
were, fell with loud crash, the limbs of which,
striking two of the children, killed them in
stantly. The wind was blowing very hard at
the time, and the surviving child says that
though they heard the cracking of the tree
they thought they were beyond its reach, and
made no effort to escape. The survivor stood
between the children, and yet escaped unhurt.

SINGULAR OccURRENcE--A singular occur
renee, resulting in melancholy manner, took
place few days since in the town of Hamburg,
in this county. An Irishman was engaged in
digging well, and after getting down to the
depth Of some eighteen feet, found signs of water
very perceptible, At last he struck his pick
through thin layer of slate, when all at once,
and with noise like thunder, sufficiently loud
to be distinctly heard all over the neighborhood,
stream Of mingled gas and water burst through
the orifce, instantly killing the unfortunate
man, and filling the well to the depth of ten or
twelve feet with water. Gas still escapes pro-
fusely, and the water is in constant and violent
motion, resembling large cauldron of boiling
fluid. Buffalo Democracy, August "a.
