John Browns Tract.v-The hislory Of

"john Browns Tract."-The historv of this
locality, well known 10 sporlsmen, is given by Q
writer in PmtRam's Magazine as follows;
4" More than ffly years ago, John Brown, go
vernon of Rhode Island, bought 200, 900 acres of
wild land in Herkimer and Hamilton counties
New York, TIE waters of Moose river, for
the purpose Of carrying on the iron business A
colony was sent on 5000 acres Of land cleared
up, veins of iron ore found and opened, and n
forge built But the mines were not so produc-
tive as expected, the soil cold, fnuch money was
expended without return or prospect Of one.
The overseer sent out by Governor Brown killed
himself, the others became discouraged, and the
place was abandoned. AT present one family by
rhe name of Arnold live there, occupying some
1000 acres, run over with foot shrubs and W ID
grasses"

MURDER OF AZ INFANT BIZ NURSE GIRL,
"A nurse girl, only nine years of age, has
been committed TO Warwick nil, TO take her
trial for the wilful murder Of baby, q few
months old her mistress, the wife of the
galnekeeper to DIR. Beech, Of Brandon-lodge,
had sent the girl to fetch home a few knives
and forks that had been lent to some charcoal
burners in Brandon-woyi, aud she took the
infant with her in her arms, received the knives
aud forks, and set out on her return. Ascream
was heard by the men in the wood, and pro.
ceeding TO the spot, they found the baby with
lis throat cut, in the arms OF The girl. Her
story was, that a man came behind her and
tied a handkerchief over her eyes, and told her
20 leave him the baby and the knives, or he
would Kill her. She told the man that she
burst not, and would rather that he would I'LL
her than the baby ,Aat the manthen ''trailed'
her distance TO tree, and babe her stop there
all he told her TO move. and presently the man
called her, and she took the handkerchief from
her eyes, and went to the baby, AID II was
breathing liz last. On the ground over which
the girl said she was trailed the grass was
undisturbed, as were the brambies, that must
have shown traces. One Of the knives ap-
reared to have been wiped, but still had marks
of blood upon it; end the girl had spots OF
blood upon her pinsiore. Search was made at
the time for the man she spoke OF, but no one
was 10 be found.--Leicester Mercury.

REMARKABIL oCcURENcl.-The Liverpool
Mercttrg records the following fearful and
mysterious occurrence, which happened on
Saturday afternoon 10 a number of per
sons who were engaged in telling and bark
ing timber at Mnwear Wood, situate few
miles from uayerfordwest, on the estate of the
Baron de Rutzen. 1t appears that while so
occupied, fifteen women of the party were
suddenly struck to the ground by some unseen
force, and that with such violence as 10 be rem
dered quite unconscious. Most of them have
recovered, but four still lie in very precari-
GUS slate, little hope of their recovery being
entertained. The strange part of the affair is
this, that there was no electric fire OF report,
and all those affected were the women Of the
party, while the men, standing unfortunately
near, were untouched. One of the women
says she fancied that a mist eneloped her in
for an instant. 1t is strange, too, that the
sufferers are affected with insanity. Whether
any noxious gas could have been SO rapidly
evolved from the ground or trees, or whether
it was current of electricity arising out of
the earth, seems question worth the atten
ton of those interested in electrical pheno
mena 1t is stated by some that most unu-
sual smell peryaded the whole place.
n DLlND NObbEk.---- ne UidThcI RdrueHeT, at
Vaugirard, was in the middle Of Sunday night
awakened by the barking of his dog He got
up and seized his gun, but conld see no one.
The next morning he heard that an old blind
man, who had been accustomed TO get his liv-
ing by begging, had been picked up in the
street bathed in blood with his shoulder. bone
broken, a frightful wound in his head, and
other grave injuries. Sent TO the hospital
Necker, the old man made a confession which
caused some surprise. He had, he said, not
withstanding his blindness, gone into rope
walk by the side of the garden wall with the in
tention Of committing q robbery. The gar
dener's dog, which was loose, saw him, and
after barking to give the alarm, rushed on him,
and bit him most severely. In dismay he took
to flight, but, in his hurry, he went too near an
abandoned quarry seven yards deep. lie fell
into it, and injured himself in the manner
stated. After remaining some time insensible,
he managed to crawl out Of the quarry, and
succeeded, after while, in reaching the Grand
Rue. There his strength failed him, and he
could go no further. He accordingly fellin the
street, and remained until found. The old
mans, injuries are SO serious that his life is de-

SINGULAR 0ccURREYcE.--TheG reenock Ad.
certiser gives an account of an adventure which
befell Lacban Graham, of Greenock man Of
forty, who is paralyzed, and has been accus-
toned to amuse himself with roaming about
the shrubbery of the cemetery and looking for
birds nests. In tracking linnet on the both
ultimo he fell down, and was unable to rise.
His voice being also affected by paralysis, he
could not make himself heard at any distance,
and, owing to the height of the iuTze, there mas
no chance Of his being seen. He lay there for
an entire week, subsisting on few cherries and
beans and the young shoots Of the whins and
WAS at last saved from perishing through the
fundamentally of the bird which he had been
so intent on securing or plundering; for as he
lay near the nest mason employed on tomb
stone on his way to his work, seeing the lnnet
fly home, followed, and found Graham, who had
been advertised for by his family, and who
showed the power of the ruling passion by his
first words to the mason" There's the nest!'
After the excitement Of the moment, however,
he became nearly insensible, but, through medi-
cal treatment, he is recovering.

Sale of Hogs High Prices Advance In
Provisions at New Orloans.-We learn by
private dispatches from New Orleans of yester-
day, August "a, that mess pork was dull at SIS
per barrel, and choice tierce lard Al IL cents and
scarce.
This is material advance, and pfedicated, no
doubt, upon the sudden panic caused by the
drought and partial failure nf the corn crop
throughout The western States
Ia This market mess pork has suddenly ad-
vanced from the same causes, from $40 10 $l2 per
barrel; and bacon, in The same period has advanced
fully one cent per pound. This sudden imitation
of prices has no sure foundation to govern it, aud
the Market in the course OF the next Two weeks
may recede fully as fast as il has advanced. But
few weeks have elapsed since tho. southern
planter could buy pork in this market at $40 per
barrel, and have il shipped 10 his plantation for G5
or 70 cents additional for freight. Now the price
IS Sl3, and the freight S2--a very considerable
difference. The stocks OF pork throughout the
country are still toleraby ample and the crop
OF hogs throughout Kentucky and Indiana will be
larger than ever was known. The anticipated
failure OF the corn crop is the only drawback, and
Judging from the present indications, the yield
will be no, over half the usual average.
In connection with the next packing season we
will quote sale of hogs, for packing, that trans
pired yesterday. Ii consisted OF LOT Of GOO head

Saratoga and Union at White sulphur
Springs.

springs
The proceedings Of the fanatics who met at
Saratoga three weeks since, for the avowed
purpose OF founding party on sectional and
geographical grounds, have been fairly placed
before the people, and the whole affair has been
unanimously pronounced an immense izzle
Its proceedings were as frivolous as the anuse-
ments of a watering place fop, and its attempts
at strategy We're almost equal to the tactics OF
matchmaking mamma. Thus far the con-
vention was in harmony with the usages of the
village wherein it was held. Bat while the
wise men Of the North were at work with this
notable scheme--from which naught but the
glorfcation Of a few brokep-doWn politicians
could result-wo find Southern men actively
and practically engaged in endeayoring TO
bring out the great natural resources OF the
garden of the republic.
at White Sulphur Springs, Virginia, a rail-
road convention met few days since, for the
purpose of giving aid to the projected railroad
from Covington to the Ohio line. This road is
an extension of the Central railroad, which
connects at Washington, d. c., with a perfect
net work Of railroads. and which will bring the
western part Of Virginia in direct and rapid
communication with all parts Of the Union.
At the first meeting of the convention, two
hundred and flty-eight delegates were present,
representing tweaty-eight counties, the city of
Richmond, and the town Of Fredericksburg.
The character of the delegates may be Judged
by that Of the permanent officers of the con,
vention. Here is the list:
