Murder Of o Sheriff.


When the steamer Henrietta arrived at McGre-
gor's Landing on her downward trip, the Sheriff
of Clayton Co., Iowa, went on board of her and
took possession Of the boat; an unknown person
Immediately stepped up to him and with deadly
weapon struck him over the head, from the effects
of which, it is reported, he died.
Since penning the above the Galena Adv. has
come to hand, from which we gather the following
particulars:
While in the act of STOPPING down to throw Of

rendered him senseless. The boat then left with
the Sheriff, but landed him in the above condition.

City, where he was found; he died soon after
Two men Immediately started in pursuit Of the
boat with a skihE They rowed calamity all

UNIVERSITY OF MINNEsorA.-The North Weste. n
Democrat of this week, has an article on the ne
cessity of immediate action relative to the erection
Of buildings for the University of Minnesota. 1t
says that fine building has already been erected,
but it is the work of private subscription and in
asmuch as the University is Territorial matter,
it trusts that sufficient interest will be manifest
ed to carry it forward to completion. The law
provides that the University shall be located at
near the Falls of st. Anthony, and in view of the
fact that St. Paul has the Capitol and Saltwater
the Prison, it sees no good reasons why the Uni
versity buildings should not begin to assume a
tangible form.
The views of the Democrat are certainly very
Just.

TIE CzAR's EVACUATION OF THE
PRIScIPALITns-SPEEcH OF Loan
BRoUGHHAM ON THE SUBJEcr.-In the
House of Lords on the evening of the
26th, Lord Brougham said:
= Ny lords, my appre-
tensions are not for the present. When
1 shall hear it confirmed that there is a
general movement on the part af the
invading armies to quit the principali-
ties, then, my lords, l shall be very ap-
prehensive. 1 shall be apprehensive
lest Austria, having some concessions
made to her by the Emperor of Russia,
shall call upon us to enter into negotia-
tion-of which negotiations 1 confess
myself more spprehensive than do of
war (hear, hear. If diplomacy, and
treaty, and protocol shall again be en-
tered upon, and protracted by the re-
sources of Russia, have we not to ap-
prehend that they may drag on through
the autumn, and to a period when the
Baltic and Black Seas will be in very
different circumstances from the present
(hear, hear.)
We, the western powers, shall not be
committed By anything that may Be done at
Vienna or Berlin. l have 10 distrust of
Austria, but 1 say nothing of Prussia
a laugh. have confidence in the in
tegrity and character of the Emperor of
Austria, but if negotiations with the
Car are to be carried on, it viii be for
us, if We are to take a part in them, to
say when they shall terminate. Ihope
and trust that certain time-and that
not long-will be fixed within which
these negotiations mast terminate, that the
Car will withdraw, or the war be con-
Quoted as heretofore. 1t would be hard,
my lords, to prognosticate what we will
do hereafter, for much must depend
upon our ally, France. But we must
go on to the end, as we did from the be-
ginning, until peace shall be obtained,
and coupled with that peace we must
have a guarantee against a repetition of
the same proceeding on a more op-
perfume moment for the enemy than the
present, in which all his attempts have
proved complete disappointments (hear,
hear.) Then, my lords, we may have
such securities against future aggression
as will enable us to call the result of all
we have been doing by the name Of
"peace," without which guarantee that
peace will be only vain semblance, and
little better than an armed truce, (hear,
hear.)

To REsUscITATE Persons WHEN
STRUCK BY LIGHTNINe.--This is the sea-
son when deaths from this source occur;
and few, who do not look to the sum-
mary, know how many there are. In
all cases where persons are struck down
by lightning, use cold water upon the
body for hours; don't get discouraged
if immediate success is not attained, but
persevere, and if, after three or four
hours drenching, animation is not re-
stored, add salt to the water and con-
tinue the showering, which is rendered
colder by the saline admixture. If pos
sible, administer the douche on the head
and along the spinal column. Persons
who have fallen senseless under stroke
of lightning, when alone, have recover
ed in the rain; and Mr.. Merriam, the
weather-sophist, relates case where a
victim was recalled to life by dsshing
cold water on him several hours after
apparent death.

MRs. JAMEsoS's VIEW OF SEMI-DRAP-
ED FIeUREs.-It may be proper to take
notice of the prejudice many people have
against naked figures. 1t is difficult to
discover any settled rules of propriety
in the different modes of dress, as all
nations and ages have fuctuated with
regard to their notions of fashions in this
matter. The Greek statues of the Lao
coon, Apollo, Meleeger, Hercules, the
fighting and dying gladiator, and the
Venus de Medici, though altogether
without drapery, have surely nothing
in them offensive to modesty--nothing
immoral. On the contrary, looking at
these figures, the mind of the spectator
is taken up with surprising beauty or
sublimity of the personage-his great
strength, vigorous, and manly charac-
ter, or with the pains and agonies that
so feelingly discover themselves
Throughout the whole work.. 1t is not
in showing or concealing the form that
modesty OF the want of it depends: 1t
arises entirery from the choice and in
tentions of the artist himself. The
Greeks and other great designers gave
into this practice Of representing the
figures undraped, in order to show, in
its full extent, the idea of character they
meant to establish. If it was beauty,
they show it to you in all the limbs; if
strength the same; and the agonies of
the LAGOON are as discernable in his
foot as in his face. This pure and ma
ked nature speaks universal language.
which is understood and valued in all
times and countries, even where the
Grecian dress, language and manners
are neither regarded or known. 1t is
worth observing, that many of the fair
sex do sometimes betray themselves by
their over .delicacy (which is the want of
all true delicacy) in this respect. But l
am ashamed to combat such silly siec-
tations: they are beneath men who have
either head or heaft-they are unwor-
thy of women who have either educa-
ton or simplicity Of manners|tneyI
would disgrace even wsiting-maids and
sentimental man -milliners.'

AN OLD FoeY.-There is an "old
near Xenia, who owns
broad acres all around him, and occu-
pies a plain brick house, very poorly
furnished, the front door of which is
three feet from the ground, with no
step of any kind to assist the few who
enter it. He was never known to give
a cent to any charitable object or for
any of the many Improvements which
have contributed to double the value Of
his property. Although possessed Of
immense wealth in lands already, he
continues to buy more as fast as his
savings viii permit, adding farm to
farm, and never selling rod for any
purpose. He labors himself in the
field, and requires his wife to do the
same.
What design Providence had in bring
ing such man into the world, is the
point we would like to see cleared up.
He is Of no use to himself or to any
body else in this world; and, consider
ing his attachment to the soil, we have
no idea he will ever consent to be in
cluded in the general resurrection.

A Story OF CIRcuMsrAST1AL EvI-
DEScE.-Some years ago, | went espe-
cially to Clommell Assises. and acci-
dentally witnessed trial which I never
shall forget. A wretched man, ns-
tive Of that county, was charged with
the murder of his neighbor. 1t seemed
that an ancient eud existed between
them. They met at fair, exchanged
blows; again that evening they met at
low pot house, and the bodily inter
ference of friends alone prevented a
fight between them. The prisoner was
heard to vow vengeance against his
rival. The wretehed victim left the
house, followed socn after by the pris-
oner, and was found next day on the
roadside, murdered, and his face so bar
barously beaten by stone that he
could be only identified by his dress
The facts we're strong against the pris-
oner; in fact, it was the strongest case
of circumstantial evidence I ever met
with. As a form--of his guilt there
could be doubt-the prisoner was called
for his defense. He called to the sur
prise of every one, the murdered man.
And the murdered man came forward.
1t seemed that another man had been
murdered-the identification BY dress
was vague, for all the peasantry of Tip
perary wear the same description Of
clothes-that the presumed victim had
got hint that he would be arrested
under the White Boy act-had fed and
only returned with a noble feeling of
Irish justice, when he found that his
ancient foe was in jeopardy on his ac-
count. The case was clear; the prison
er was innocent. The Judge told the
jury it was unnecessary to charge them.
They returned in about two hours,
when the foreman, with long face,
handed him the verdict of guilty.
Every one was astonished. Good God,'
said the Judge, 'of what is he guilty?
Not Of murder surely No, nv lord,'
said the foreman, but if be did not
murder the man, he stole my mare three
years ago.'-DanieI o. COnneH.

rheumatic pains, and walks with crutch.

RUMoRED OUTRAGE AND EXCITEMENT

RUMoRED OUTRAGE AND EXCITEMENT.
We last evening heard rumors of
gross outrages and consequent excite
ment, in connection with an immigrant
ship from Liverpool, which arrived yes
terday in the Third District. The en-
tire ships company, with the exception
of the captain, mate and carpenter, are
said to be negroes, and the black seoun-
drels are charged with the most 6endish
outrages upon the female passengers
during the voyage. What renders the
case more aggravating is the charge
made by the poor victims, that these
brutalities were perfectly well known to
the officers, who made no efforts to re-
strain their british crew. We hear that
a body of the friends and countrymen Of
the immigrants, highly excited, pro-
ceeded to the ship. attacked the negroes,
and threw some of them overheard.
Our informant learned that the mate
had secreted himself and could not be
found. We refrain mentioning the
name of the vessel until we obtain fur
ther particulars.-New Orleans Trus

Poisonous CoLoRED CoNFEcTIoSERY.
The Lancet" commissioners in re-
porting the result of their investigations
respecting colored confectionery, ex-
press their surprise at the extent to
which deadly and virulent poisons are
daily made use of by the manufacturers
of those articles. One hundred and
one samples were analyzed; and of the
yellows, seventy contained chromate of
lead and eolored gambOge; seventy-nine
of the reds contained cochineal, red
lead, and bisulphuret of murcury; eight
of the browns contained ferruginous
earths, either vandyke, brown umber,
or sienna; two of the puppies contained
Prussian blue and cochineal; thirty
eight Of the blues contained indigo,
Prussian blue, Antwerp blue, and
sulphuret of sodium or aluminium;
nineteen of the greens contained Bruins
wick greens, consisting of a mixture Of
ehromate Of lead and Prussian blue,
verditer or carbonate Of copper. The
above colors were ,vsriously combined
in different cases, three and even four
poisons occurring in the same parcel Of
Confectionery. In four of the samples
the colors were painted on with white
lead or carbonate of lead; thirteen of
the samples were adulterated with
hydrated sulphate of lime; seventeen
samples were adulterated with wheat
-four, three with potato -four. and one
with arrowroot.
