somebody happening to see him just in
time, be was~aken back and put under
additional security

, 1t Is the constant cry of the New Ber
liners-a cry oitcn thoushtlessly echoe,
that the Division Of Union County woulc
, increase LARGELY Taxation for County pur
poses, an that County Buildings woulC
cost $40, goo or $4,000 for each county
} We have often shown that as Officers are
paid by the day for work done, or have
fees for work done, half the amount OF
work would reduce the pay accordingly,
and each county need pay but half whit
this county now does; while !in other
respects, both the county and individuals
would save money by having the seat of
justice near the center of both business
and population.
But to demonstrate this position, we copy
the following fynes prepared by REUBEN
W. WEAVER, E,c, a respectable Lawyer
of Bloomsbury, relative to the practical
operation of Division in Columbia county.
ssy" Columbia county was organized from
old Northumberland, at the same time
that Union county was erected from the
same. The population of Columbia, in
1850, was about equal to that of Union
now; but Union county is valued more
than one-sirth higher than Columbia and
Moniour. The Court House for Columbia
county is an elegant structure, and we
never heard but that its Offices are suifi
ciently commodious, and its Jail secure.
Now about the cost Of all, Mr. Weaver
states as follows:
BLooMsBURG, July 90, 1854
The cost Of our Court House was SIS ,2172l
Jail $4,000
Total exclusive of building lots sll ,907.2l
OF this sum, 81 800 was paid by the
County, and the balance by the citizens in
voluntary subscriptions.
The following is the rate of County Tax
assessed since 1910, in Columbia
1S40-30 cts on the 500 valuation.

Old Parties Dead.

Judge McBRIDE of Boone Co, Missou-
ri, prominent member of the late demo-
cratic party, has become candidate fox
the legislature in Boone county, and ad-
dressed 4 circular to the voters Of that
county In his address Judge McBaIDE
saws:
"Permit ne to state, that prior to my
becoming candidate, | distinctly avowed
that | would not consent, under any cir
cumstances. TO run upon the old question
Of Wing and Democrat-ana why not?
because there is 10 question, involving ell
ther principle or policy, now at issue be-
tween the parties-all have been disposed
of. and there is DO further necessity for
keeping up the old party lines, except to
promote the ends of political tiicksters, in
which the mass of the people have no in-
terest'
The Journal, late an Anti-Benton D7n-
ocratic organ in Boone county, warmly
supports Judge Mcbride and NJ. FcC-
sHEY, prominent member ot To
late Wing, party, for the Lesir'-...re.
These men are running as IndepcnieD'
Candidates against the Wing and "old
hive" Democratic candidates The Jour
nal says the Democratic no longer differs
from the Wing party, and both are equal
ly dishonest and corrupt. 1t therefore
goes for 4 free aud Independent ticket.

IT-So it will be seen that small in
creases Of expenses in a few particulars,
may be overcome by decreased expenses
in other particulars. The tax in Colum-
bia county is now % per cent. less than it
was before Division while the advantages
to the people of having their legal place
Of business in connection with their mart
Of trade and route Of travel, is an item
which most of the tax payers feel in their
pockets, but which can not be reported like
a County Tax.

The i,tNow NOTHING FANuf.-The
Know No,hiogs seem to have flourished in
England two centuries 2eo. John Eun'
yam relates, in the second part c. Ihs IL

were assembled at the house of Mrs Tim

Mrs. Bat 's-Eyes, Mrs. Ineonsiderate, Mrs.
Light Mind, aud Mrs. Knor Ntiiag.
In the somewhat spicy conversation which
ensued, Mrs. Knov-Noihing merely asks

taciturnity which still distinguishes those
of her name, from any definition OF her
position in the matter nufer consideration.

ANOTHER MURDER.--Samuel Hilliard, keep
ee of the Long Pond Hotel, at Natick, was
arrested on Saturday, charged with stabbing
James Warren, of that town, at one o'clock
of the same morning. A party were engaged
at billiards., in drinking and gambling, when
an alteration arose, and billiard called War
rem lar Warren then struck Hilliard with the
back of his hand, in the face, upon which the
latter drew dirk, and, pursuing him into an
other room, stabbed him twice, once in the
breast, and once in the abdomen. Warren
survived until Sunday morning when he died.
On Monday, billiard waived an examine
ton, and was put in irons, and committed to
Concord jail.
We learn from the Boston TrGr., that Hill
lard has wife and several children, the old
est of whom, young lady of eighteen or
twenty, was to have been married on Sun
day.
billiard slept soundly the night after the
murder, and remained quite indifferent until
he came to leave his family for prison, when
the tears were observed to steal silently down
his cheeks.
Warren admitted before his death that he
struck Hilliard in the face with his shand but
thought the latter used him rather too roughly
for SO slight an offence. Warren was himself
.'prison bird, and is said to have been mar
ried but week ago.
This is the fifth murder that has occurred
in that vicinity, within the space of three or
four years; and the moving cause of them ALL
was intemperance.

ty, were severally fined So and 81 each, and

each, which they paid.
Cain Mahan, Michael Nc Kay, and Newell

Henry Hurlburt and Loring Webster were
brought up, by adjournment since Friday
last, for keeping common gaming house, in
Warren Block, Pearl street. J. II. Mathews
and Geo. Very, Esqs., appeared for Hurlburt
and James 0. Williams, Esq, for Webster
P. G. Bacon Esq, city solicitor, appeared for
the Commonwealth.
1t appeared by the evidence of Constable
Warren, that he visited the room kept by the
defendants, on Thursday last, about o'clock
P. M. In this room, which is in the attic of
Warren Block, he found box containing %
packs of cards. 5 other packs of cards, velvet
cloth with cards attached to it, 100 ivory
checks of red color, l66 white ones, small
er checks, dice box and dice, and cribbage
board. While in the room, taking the irnple-
ments of gaming into his custody, Webster
came in, and sat down. There were also let
tiers in the Faro box addressed to Hurlburt.
1t was proved in evidence, that Hurlburt
hired the room, for dollar week, from Mr..
PIERCE, the lessee of the room from Mr.. War
rem, and that he furnished it with stoves, ia
bles, carpets, &C., and brought the gaming
implements to it. Webster was common
frequenter of the room.
After argument by the counsel, on both
sides, the udgereviewed the evidence, and held
that there was reasonable presumption of the
guilt of the parties, and sufficient ground upon
which to oind them over, to answer to the
charge, before the Court of Common Pleas
The parties were held in the sum of $500
each.

. The CLERGY.-The almost unanimous protest
of the clergy Of the North against the Nebras-
ka bill naturally produces great effect. The
Journal of Commerce copied sermon after SER
mon in favor of the compromise measures and
of the enforcement of the fugitive slave law.
That paper awarded great praise to the clergy
for these sermons. Now it looks wph dis
gust upon the practice of ministers g dabbling
with nolitics.''

diately fearful explosion took place, which
blew the roof off the house, and injured more
or less all who were within at the time. Sew

thought they will not recover.
