PREACHER WAsrEp.--Matters are con-
Quoted upon rather small scale in the Iowa
Penitentiary, as was shown recently by the
report in relation to the services OF the prs
onsrs. The same spirit seems to prevail IN
the Lei islature in respecttc this institution,
as Mr.. Preston, Chairman of the Committee
to visit that prison, has recommended that
administer be employed to preach every
Sunday to the convicts and that he be al
lowed the munifceHt sum OF one hundred
dollars per annum. Don't all speak at once.

ARRIsox, THE TORPEDO MANA letter
has been received in Cincinnati, Purporting
TO be from the man who murdered Allison
and wife, declaring the innocence of ArTi-
son. The letter is regarded there as fla
grant hoax. The Gin. Times says
The prisoner seems to have lost all hope
Of escape from his terrible sentence, and is
preparing himself for his fate. His general
demeanor is manly and patient He still
declares his innocence, and expresses con-
fdent hope that though he may suffer e.
vents will yet transpire which will show he
is not guilty of the dreadful murder. a
number of persons seem to be interested in
him. While we were al the Jail this morn.
ing, two ladies' called upon him and pre-.
.ented him with basket Of fruit. We be.
lieve they were old acquaintances."

2 Ia inches in length; legs Ii inches
long. In color it is nearly black, or rather
of a general dark smoke tint, with scatter.

and a portion of the neck are yellow

The top OF the wings also show u line of
yellow feathers. The beak and claws are
black, but both are bright yellow at the
base. The tail is interspersed with white.
The head and mouth are large, and alto
gether the bird is fine specimen of this
rare species of the eagle, which is not often
seen in Connecticut. Quite a number of

distance than l can count days of delight

soul quake threatens momentarily TO de-
molish his wretched carnal habitation. His
trembling imagination looks out daily from
its mud-built cell, and every tom orrow is
deep valley of gloom, filled with devour-

his.Teasures. A little cloud not bigger
than mans hand, brews for him storm

A Business EDIToR.--The editor of the
"Bu;ler (Choctor county, Ala, Standard
alternately wields the pen and the hammer.
lie has two irons in the fre-a printing
Office and blacksmith's shop-in both Of
which he deals heavy blows. In his print
ing office he hammers Know Nothingism,
and in bis blacksmith's shop hammers
horse shoes, turpentine scrapers, dippers,
&c. We have seen no specimens Of his
iron work, but we have before us, in the
"Standard," some samples of his editorial
labors. In this line we give below a spec.
linen Of his efforts. Abiding to the results
of the late Alabama election, he records
the death of "SAM," and adds - 6"
"Sam was youth of rare qualities, and
while he remained North among his abo-
lition friends, he enjoyed fine health and
increased in prosperity daily with his faith

had Us fine prospects OF success, at so
early an age. But his ambition led him
South, in quest of friends, and unlortu.
nately, he tarried too long in the Old
Dominion. While there, he was taken
with a disease OF the heart from which he
never recovered Many OF his friends be-
lieycd when he had the first spasm in the
Old Dominion, it would he cholera case

hoping the bamy bree2es of he climate

groans and lamentations, such rs have
not been heard in 'his region for many

about the establishment, frequently attend.
inr on the family of DR.. Waddell, in a fit
of " impulsve insanity" seized an axe, and
before any alarm could be given, struck
down two OF the attendants, and by re
peated blows mangled them in a shocking
manner, causing instant death. DIR. Wad-
dc Il was Immediately attracted 10 the spot,
but was unable to arrest the lunatic, who
also made an attempt TO take his life, but
