coming thick by exposure to the air from
the constant rising and falling of the ink in

p6s~ On Tuesday evening, the 29th ult,
Rev. S. B. Garfield was installed Pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church of this city.
The sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr..
Thompson, of Buffalo. His text was from
Romans, Il am ready to preach the gospel to
you who are at Rome" The sermon of the
Rev. gentleman was listened to with much at
tention, and is spoken of as splendid produc-
ton.
After the sermon, the constitutional ques-
tions were propounded by Rev. Mr.. Board
man, charge to the church by Rev. Mr.. Hall,
and to the candidate by Rev. Mr.. Castor.
The Chronicle, in speaking Of the affair,
seems to think that Mr.. Garfield is in an i'm
portant field; in city where the simple
apostolic preaching of Christ crucified is much
nccded.-Wh hat is wanted in our puipits for
our religious improvement is not philosophical,
literary or scientific essays, but the gospel
preached in demonstration of the Spirit and
with power sent down from Heaven.-Sy,u-

The following account of some of the re-
cent atrocities of the Indians, was brought to
New Orleans, by the late arrival of the steam
err Orizaba
"The most horrible of the unnumbered a.
trocities of the Indians lately, is one in which
they made hole beneath the chin of young
man, through which they passed "a cord, taking
it through the mouth, so hanging him up by
his chin to tree, and making him target
for their arrows Another in which the
wrctches cut some pieces of flesh from the
launches of poor infant, roasting them and
eating them while the asonizcd little creature
still lived.

The LATE ELEcrIoN.-After abiding to
the victory achieved in every precinct of
the Territory over fraud and corruption,
the St. Anthony Erpress of the 18th inst,
holds the following language relative to one
of the wing nominees for the House for the
Sixth Council District:
awe take peculiar pleasure in chroni-
cling the defeat of Mr.. Mobiles, who sustain
ed by his utmost exertions, the iniquitous
railroad bill last winter in the Legislature.
As he came down last week, and made a
speech to the wings of Hennepin, in which
lie declared that he could not sustain the
bill again, were it to come before him in
the Legislature, he might have received a
respectable vote in Minneapolis, had not
Rice'S tool of the lEnn,sotiam, been up the
same week figuring for him. This of course
in connection with the fulsome adulation of
the MinnesOtMn in recent article of Rice's
paper, finished MOBILES and he went out of
precinct which polled some 70 wing votes,
with only %. Railroad Swindlcs don't
prosper among the upright, intelligent
farmers of Hennepin County"

The Yesterday was the
Nuea day we have ever seen in the Terrific
ry. Cold, rainy and cherries it seemed
as though even the elements had conspired
together to give our Delegate such recep-
ton as one who had betrayed the trust re-
posed in him deserved, and of right should
expect whitening, cold contempt.
"The day is cold, and dark, and dreary,
1t rains-and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the Wondering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark aud dreary.''

Another Murder in Kentucky.

We learn from the Louisville Courier of
the 4th instant, the following particulars of
horrible murder by an ovcrseer and his
wife -
ave were informed yesterday evening by
passengers on the cars from Lexington. of
a tragedy that occurred in the county of
Fayette, on Saturday night, which almost
transcends belief, it is of SO horrible ma
ture. Mr. Frazer, farmer of that county,
had been absent with stock at New York
for several months, and on Saturday tele-
graphed his family that he would reach
home that evening. His neighbor and
partner, Mr.. Castleman, awaited his arrival
at the depot and conveyed him to his resi-
dence. Leaving the house, Mr. C. was
startled about an hour afterwards by the
report of gun. He Immediately went to
Frazer's, and there discovered him dead,
the house darkened, Mrs. Frazer up stairs,
Grigg, the overseer, below, and a daughter
aged eleven years, with the mother. They
accounted for the death of the man by the
accidental discharge Of the shot gun, which
he had in his hand preparing to shoot a
rat. Suspicious were aroused and the
oversecr and Mrs. Frazer both arrested.
The body of the deceased was terribly
bruised, hole shot in his head, another
through his body, his throat very nearly
cut, and three ribs broken, effects not easily
caused by accident. There appears to be
no doubt in the minds of those advised of
the facts, as to the criminality of Mrs. Fra
zer and Grigg. Previous to this time, the
neighbors had suspected improper imtima-
cies between the two, and it is supposed
that it was for the purpose of getting Fra
yer out of the way so as to render a mar
rage feasible, that the awful deed was ac-
complished. There are various circumstan-
ces connected with the affair, which 60 to
criminate the suspected parties.

This boat arrived yesterday from Galena
with upwards of FIVE hundred passengers.
Her freight list was also full. showing no
dimunition in trade since the opening of
navigation. 1t is the intention of the
Packet Company to put the Royal Areh ON
the line, to supply the place Of the
Nemnee Passengers who arrived in the
city by the Golena state that the quantity
of freight below, awaiting shipment to this
city is immense; and it is confidently be-
Iicvcd that, were the number of boats ply
ing between this city and points below
double their number, they would all have
plenty to do until the close of navigation.
Capitalists of st. Paul, why will you let
the golden harvest you might reap, be gar
nercd by others? We sincerely trust that
another season will see our city the possessol
of first-rate line Of boats.
We are pleased to see shat most of the
passengers now arriving in the Territor!
are good substantial-looking farmers. AL
ready those who have arrived this season
more than double the number of any pre-
ceding year, and the rush is undated
There is room and land for all!

A gentleman, about sixty years of age,
doing large importing business in South
street, and residing in one of the fashionable
avenues in this city, for some time suspected
his wife, a very handsome young woman,
scarcely out of her ''teens," with being Oh
more than friendly terms with the son of
wealthy neighbor. On Thursday morning.
he announced his intention to leave town on
business, and not return until the following,
morning. lie, however, did return sooner
than was expected (about eleven o'clock at
night and unlocked the back door with
his night-key, not stopping even to ring the
bell, and crept stealthily 10 the door of his
room on the second floor and looked through
the key-hole, when he saw light, and ina
gined that he also saw objects moving in the
room He listened for some moments, and
finally heard suppressed whispcrings. One
of the voices he thought was mans His
patience became entirely exhausted, and he
attempted to open the door, but found it
securely locked on the inside.
He listened again, but all was silent. De-
tcrmined Oh knowing the worst, he took
from his pocket revolver, and demanded
admission to the room. His dcmaud not
being complied with as soon as he thought
it should, he burst open the door, and on
doing so, discovered something white leaning
on one of the windows of the bedroom. He
ran to the window and discharged one barrel
of the revolver at what he took to be his
neighbours son, as he was scaling the fence
OF his yard without any article lbut his linen
on. On looking about the room, the injured
husband cspied upon a chair at the foot Of
the bed, pair Of pants, in the pocket Of
which was portmonnaie, containing SOB
25 a vest, coat, and c.avat, and on the
floor pair of patent leather boots and
pair of socks, and on the bureau Il hat and
fine gold watch, which he says the owner
can have by calling for and proving property.
The wife, during these discoveries said
nothing, but wept most bitterly. Efforts are
being made by the friends of the parties to
settle the affair." without bringing their names
before the public.-Ne,c York Sun.

Small FavOrs Thankfully Received

We were forcebIy reminded of this say
ing yesterday on taking up the Minmesotiam
and reading the Editors rejoicing over the
recent State Elections. Having been most
signally defeated at home, the Editor of that
print has been turning his eyes elsewhere for
consolation, and in his yesterdays issue
comes out with flourish Of trumpets and
his "Jig .Ggurcs' to prove that the Wings
are not all dead yet
In the states that have recently held
elections the only issue before the people
was the Nebraska Bill" Hundreds of
Democrats foolisLly allowed themselves to
be carried away into the support of a 'fu-
sion" ticket-like the one the Democracy of
St. Paul so beautifully defeated on the 10th
inst-a no-party, peoples ticket-and for
the time, forgot all else but their dislike to
that measure
That the result of our late election was
brought about by imported Office holders"
is a mistake it was the result of the fraud
sought to be palmed on the people as the
law of the land, by which our Territory was
to be robbed of the munifcent bounty Con-
gress designed for her and an outraged
people rose in their might, that they might
brand as unworthy him into whose hands
had been committed the holy trust of
watching over our intcrests-him whom the
people once believed honest, but found they
were mistaken-they determined through
the ballot box to affix the brand of odum
and disgrace. How they have succeeded
let the result of the late election tell. Not
solitary man on the fraud ticket was re-
turned to the Legislature This is what
produced the result, Mr.. Ainncsotmn, and
mot imported Office holders "

Mr.. James Brooks, of the New York En-
press, who is now in Europe, in a recent letter
says:
"The Germans, by the way, have quecr
way of making " Brides" and Of doing some
other things in the counting and marrying way,
which may perhaps interest you. When .
maiden is betrothcd, she is called the Bride
and so continues till she becom,1 "Wife." -
All the while she is engaged she is Bride
The lovers Immediately upon the betrOthal.
exchange plain gold rings, which are worn
ever afterwards, till death parts them: The
woman wears hers on the third finger Of the
left hand, and the man his, on his - hand.
When the Bride" becomes Wife" her
ring is transferred to the third finger of the
right hand, and there it remains. The hus-
band always wears his ring just as the wife
wears hers-so that if you look upon mans
hand, you can tell whether he is mortgaged or
not. There is no cheating for him ever after
no coquetting with the girls. as if he were
an unmarried man-fOr the whole story is told
by the ring.
A Viennese married lady was much amused
when l told her that in our country we only
" ring" the women, but let the husband run
at large, unmarked!
"Oh, that is dreadful " said she, more than
half shocked. "Think, there is Frederick, my
husband only twenty-four so young, SO
handsome, and all the girls would be taking
him for an unmarried man, and be making love
to him Oh, it is dreadful! Is it not 3
They would never know he was married. How
can you do so in your country. l would not
live there with Frederick for the world"
Thinking over the reasoning of my fair vi
ennese, could not but come to the conclusion
with her, that in her country there was more
security for the wife, and that, therefore, hel
custom was better than ours. But would
there not be a rebellion among the men il
America if the wives there thus to put public
stamp upon their husbands every step the!
took?
