The Case of DR.. Be0lc.

The case of Dr. BEALE, the dentist, con-
v;cted in Philadelphia of an outrage upon
the person Of young lady, has attracted
an unusual degree Of attention. The unfor-
tunate culprit in we'll conceived address to
the Court, previous to the passing of sent
ence' upon him, protested his entire inno-
cence of the heinous offence Of which he
had been found guilty. Through the pro-
tracted trial tie prisoners evcr-faithful wife
attended him in the court room, listening to
the terrible revelations that sealed her hus-
bands fate; and now, with faith and a
constancy that belongs to woman only, she
publishes to the world her firm belief in his
innocence, and asks for sympathy and help
in imploring the interposition of the Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania to set aside the YER
dict Of the jury. Whatever opinion may
be entertained as to the guilt or innocence
of the convict, no one can read the brief
and feeling appeal of Mrs. BEAL, without
admiring her heroic conduct and wishing her
that measure of success to which her devo-
ton is entitled.

Council with tho Utahs.

Gov. Merriweather has held "ta,k" with
the Utahs. He reached Rio Arriba on the
18th, travelling under the escort of company
of United States Dragons, commanded 10y
Capt. Elwell. Agent Carson, with Chico We
lasquez's band of Utahs, came in Thursday af.
pote band failed to come in. The Indians were
assemplcd next morning, nearly 200 in number
when "big talk" was held between the chiefs
and the governor, after which presents were
distributed among those present. The confer
encc was productive of much good feeling the
Indians returning to their country well salts
fed, and gave assurance of remaining at peace
with our people.
There had recently been some little disturb
ancc between the Utahs and the whites, by
reason of a Mexican in Taos county, illing
one of the former and the latter, in return,
has stolen number of animals from the in
habtants. and made threats of hostile inter-
tiOns. They were induced to return most of
the animals stolen, on the assurance that the
Mexican who killed the Indian should be ar
rested, and punished. While at Abiquin, the
Governor learned the whereabouts of the mur-
dercr, and had him arrested and placed in GUS
tody, which pleased the Indians, who expressed
themselves as satisfied, and also promised to
remain at peace. The presents, intended for
the Capote Utahs, were left i'll the care of
Agent Labadi who will distribute the same
whenever the Indians come in.

Execution OF Logan and Lipsey-Dyin:
Words, &c.

The Sacramento Union gives an account Of
the execution of Lipscy and Logan, two men
who were convicted of murder short time
since.
Logan ascended the scaffOld with firm STEP
He addressed the asscmblage at som, length
declaring that he had shot Fenncl in sell-de-
fence that the witness who testified that he
made the first demonstration, swore falsely ;
that Fennel was advancing on him with a
cooked pistol, and that he had either to be
killed himself or kill Fennel, or run away. -
He called God, before whom he was shortly to
appear, to witness the truth of his assertion.
He said he had snned against the laws of God
in not running away from Fennel, but not
against the laws of his country. 1t was not
because he was murderer, but because he
would not run away from pistol, that he had
come to this end. He spoke in a firm voice.
Lipsey quailcd very much, and had to be al
most carried upon the scaffold. lie had moth
ing to say. He has, however, left written
confession.
When the drops fell the first time the knots
slipped.
In very few minutes the ropes were read
justed. and both passed into eternity without
struggle.
Logan's last words we're =" Lord Jesus, re-
ceve my spirit" Lipsey's were - Make the
time as short as you can. am fainting."

Be CAUTIOUS. Notwithstanding all our
citizens are aware of the danger they ex-
pose themselves to, by attempting to cross
the river on the ice, yet many of them do
not feel disposed to let its unsafe condition

The Newspaper.

In speaking of this subject the National
htelHgencer says that Gin promotion of so
desirable an object as the union of the in
tellectual with the useful, the newspaper is
an important auxiliary. 1t is more. 1t is
typical of the community in which it circu-
latcs and is encouraged. 1t tells it's char
actcr as well as it's condition; it's tastes, as
well as it's necessities; the moral, as well as
the physical stamina Of population and soil.
1t is the map whereon are traced our tend
ences and destin;es the chart to direct the
traveller and settler to safe and pleasant
harborage, or to divert them from the quick
sands of social degradation. At home, it
brings to our 6res,des, it imparts to our
household, it impresses on our children, its
sentiments of proprie.y Or its tone of con-
Abroad, it is regarded as our
oracle, and speaks volumes for or against
US. In its business features may be discern
ed the indications Of our prosperity or 9TH
erwise, in worldly sense, but in it's gene
raj complexion will be discovered our moral
and spiritual healthfulness or disease. 1t is
the portraiture of our imperfections, as we'll
as the chronicler of our advancement"

Sixpenny Savings Bank.

There is an institution of this nature in
New-YO Ork, the founder and most efficient
officer of which is ELIJAH F. PURDY, Esq.
The amount of good done through this
bank of savings for the poor, is incalculable
But a new phase in the existence of these
truly benevolent institutions, is illustrated
by the following letter from Hon. JAMES
WILSON, formerly Wing member of Con-
gress from New-Hampshire, and now a
prominent citizen of California The letter
will be read with the more interest from the
fact that it was entirely spontaneous and
unsolicited, and the writer had had 10 per-
sonal acquaintance with Mr. PURDY

Circu umstantial Evidence.

A man named Patrick Gill has been arrest
ed on charge of robbing the brewery of Eg-
gleston Mix, Albany. He was queerly ident-
flied. 1t appears upon investigation of the
premises, that an entrance to the building was
made through a window on Dean street. Up
on the sill of window was found a button
with the eye torn out. The button upon COM
parison with those on the pantaloons of Gill,
was found to agree in size and substance. A
button was also missing on his pantaloons with
part of the eye held on by the thread with
which it was sewed on! These circumstances
were deemed sufficiently strong to commit him
to jail
