A VERY CONSCIENTIOUS AND TIMD MAN The
Louisville Journal tells the following story: a
Mr. Where, of Indiana, q respectable and
wealthy German, was summoned on a jury, and
although he told the Sheriff he was "too Dutch
to sit upon the jury," he was not excused After
trial of an important case, motion was made
by the defeated party for a new trial on the
ground that Mr.. Where could not understand
English, and the man was then brought forward
for examination The account says:
During his examination, Mr.. Where became
very much alarmed, and, in spite of the assu-
rsnce of the Court the bar and his friends that
he had done no wrong, he still thought he was
upon his trial for some crime he had committed.
He inquired, in his own language, what would
become of his family, and burst into tears. Not
being able to reconcile him, he was discharged,
and Immediately proceeded homeward On ar
irving at home, ne remarked to his family that
the lawyers here had scared him almost to
death, and he didn't know that he could get
over it, He remained thoughtful and melan-
choly until Sunday, the 20 h instant, when his
family were horribly shocked by finding him
corpse, suspended by the neck in his own barn.
Not understanding the nature of the examlna,
ton he was subjected to, and supposing be had
committed some great wrong. so wrought upon
his mind as to induce him to commit suicide.

+ Our GOVERNMENT ASKING THE ExEcUToRsHIP
OF ITS DECEASED CITIZENS A simple and natu-
raj construction Of the principles Of Justice and
right would appear to lead directly to the con-
clusion that . government has the tight to ad-
minister, through its agents, upon the personal
effects of its citizens, or subjects, who die in
foreign countries, beyond the reach Of their
friends. II seems, however, that SO far as
Americans are concerned, the Spanish govern
ment recognizes no such right, and that we
must obtain it by diplomacy. or otherwise, be-
fore it can be exercised. A Washington paper
says: .sg,-,$. $500.
Since the difficulties between DIR. Worrell, our
late consul at Matanzas. and the spanish au-
thorities, it has been discovered BY the State
Department that the consuls of all other eoun-
tries except cur own, within her Most Catholic
Majesty's dominion, have the right, by special
agreement, to take possession OF the effects of
their deceased countrymen and affix their seal
thereto. 1t will be reoollected that DIR Worrill
was not allowed to perform similar action, or
rather an attempt to do 80 was not respected by
the Spanish authorities In view of these facts
it is said the subject has been officially brought
to the attention of the Spanish Government, in
order that our Consuls may be secured like
privilege. ss iaia ia

hepulse OF the Russians at Kars
From Russian sources-Gen Mourayieffs re-
port and letter from Trebizond-we have ac-
counts of therepulse Of the Russians, with great
loss, in an attack which they made on the for.
tress Of Kars, on the 10Th September General
Mouravief says: 6 At the beginning, the attack
was successful, but the position and the num-
bers of the enemy forced us to withdraw. Not
withstanding this, and heavy loss. our troops
took fourteen banners and stand of oolors
The blockade of Kars is re-established.'
The account via Trebizond, gives more par
ticulars, and states that the Russians were de,
termined to raise the siege. It states that at
one time the Russians succeeded in taking two
batteries, but before they had time to turn
round the guns, or even to spike them, the
| Turks rushed upon them with such vigor as to
regain POSSESSION Of the batteries, and decide
the fortune Of the day. The Russians, furious.
| ly repulsd, fell back upon their comrades, whe
| were thrown into confusion. The Turks ther
rushed out Of the fortress, and mastered an

Mnrdar and suicide Il Glaatanbury.

We learn that German employed in the
Eagle Factory, Glastonbury, by the name of
Jacob Kellogg, was murdered last evening by
Andrew Sin, another German under these
circumstances: Kellogg, who came to this
country, from Germany some three years ago,
had paid his attention to young woman there
of whom Sin was also enamorcd. About
three months since this young woman came
to America and Sin followed in the same
vessel
She procured employment in the Glasten-
bury Factory and favored Kellogg's suit
This maddened Sin, who, watching his oppor-
tunity, sprang upon Kellogg as he was return
ing from visit to the girl, and inflicted ire
mendous cut in the upper part of his breast
witha big butcher knife, cutting his collar bone
in two, severing the large artery, and cutting
the tow of the lungs. kellogg shouted muir
der staggered and fell. Some girls from the
factory happened to be passing by, and they
gave the alarm; when the murderer ran and
Mr.. Stephen Hurlbut, jr., pursued him.
He followed him SO closely that Sin, in
order to gain a long point, dashed into the
factory pond, and attempted to go across it
at place where the water was not deep;
but he sunk in the mud and was speedily
drowned. The water was soon drawn off
and the body recovered.
Sin was employed BY Mr.. c. Andrews
In his possession was found a cord, to which
he probably meant to attach weight and
sink the body of his victim IN the deep wa
ter of the pond Hartford Times, 18th.

Execution e Boy.
AuExANpRIE, IA. AUG

ALEXANDRIA, La, Aug. II.
The execution of the boy Frank, for the
murder of Rev. j. S. Weens, took place on
Friday, the oath. 1t is strange to say that the
majority of the citizens, and in fact the lnhab-
itants all round were anxious to see him exc
cuted; and ON the fatal day, when it came to
pass, there was not dozen people therei Some
drove 40 miles to witness the awful drama
but he was executed and buried by the time
they got to Alexandria.
On the day before he was called to face death
a gentleman visited him. an9 propounded ques-
tons to him; but his answers were, and could
be no other than, childish. He was, l believe
only ten years old The gentleman told him
the Sheriff was to hang him the next morn
ing and asked him W hat he thought oft
whether he had made his peace with God, and
why he did not pray? His answer vast
have been hung many time!' He was play
ing all the time in jail, never once thinking
that death was soon to claim him as it's VIC
tim. To show you how child's mind ranges
when about to die, will mention that, when
upon the scatfold, he begged to be permitted to
pray-which was granted-and then he COM
menced to cry! OH 1t was a horrible sight.

Great arrangements are being made at Indi-
annapolis for the State Fair which is to be held
the third week in October. Exhibitors will
bear in mind that unless their articles inten-
ded to compete for premiums are on the
ground by Tuesday, the 10th, they cannot
come in competition for premiums The exhi-
bition will take place on Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday, and it is anticipated it will
be the most extensive Fair ever held in this
State. We learn from the indianapolis papers
that great preparations will be made to accom-
modate all visitors, and stock will be foraged
free of expense. Premiums to the amount Of
5000 will be awarded to the successful COM
petitors in the various departments All the
railroads are expected to take visitors to the
Fair at halfprice. Such an arrangement will
be made ON our road. We hope "the Pocket
of Indiana will not only be well represented by
its people at the Fair, but by its productions
Prof Mapes will deliver the address at this
Fair.

Runaway Negroes Caught.

Mr.. Rob't King, conductor of freight train
on the E. & c. Railroad, has been instrument
tai in returning eight runaway slaves to their
masters, and in return receiving the handsome
reward offered for their recovery. Last Tues
day, eight negroes hailed his train as it was
going to- Terre Haute, and wanted passage.
Mr.. King placed them in freight car, and
locked them up. He conveyed them to Terre
Haute, when he placed them in Jail till ready
to return yesterday morning. He landed
them safely here, where they were transferred
to the hands of their masters, and conveyed to
Henderson ON the Rainbow. Mr.. King received
$500 in cash-a tall days work,-and he
would have got an additional hundred, but being
oohged to attend Court at Princeton, he could
BOT deliver the slaves at Henderson. These
negroes We're thousand fold better off al
their homes in Kentucky, than if they had
escaped to Canada.

STRAIGHT LINE ROAD TO EVANSVILLE
Some twelve months ago, incipient steps were
taken to cut straight line road from Mt Yer
non to Evansville. The distance by an all
line between the two towns is bat seventeen
and-a-half miles; and the project seems to have
met the concurrence of every one-the FEAST
bility as well as necessity of such road never
having been questioned. A number resid-
ing and owning lands along the proposed route
although DESTROYS that the road should be con-
structed, demonstrated and claimed damages;
in all to the amount of about nine hundred dol
lars supposing that it would be paid by the
country, rather than that so important route
should be entirely abandoned. In this, how
ever, they were deceived; the county refusing,
and very properly too, to pay; and the matter
now remains in sTATU QUO, as no damages
could by any possibility accrue, except perhaps
in single case
This road is of the first Importance to Mt.
Vernon, as well as to large portion of the
county of Posey; it shortens the distance be-
tween the two points at least Eve miles, Is
interferes with no other road, and must of me-
cessity, from the increase of population and
wants of the people be, ultimately, construct
ed. Such being the fact, we can see no ne
cessity for any further delay. in not reviving it
and again bringing it before the county Board
at its next December term. With the exception
of one individual, we are assured there will be
no damages. The value of the land along the
route will be greatly enhanced, and the facili-
ties ofgetting to Evansville or coming to Mt
Vernon, extended to an unlimited degree
Who then will take the matter in hand?

HoGs.-The Louisville Journal says: We
hear of no contracts The views of sellers are
above those of buyers. The Cincinnati Com
mercial of yesterday says:
For hogs there is not much doing; some sales
have been made during the week, for Novem-
Der delivery, at Sc 80, but holders ask Sc 40;
and there are buyers at Sc 25@6 80, who
show strong disposition to operate at these
rates. Contracts are being made through In
diana at So 80 for January delivery, and in
the interior of Illinois at SIS, according to the
papers published in the interior towns Of those

A WINDFALL-With great pleasure we
learn that Mr.. John Woodfall of this city, has
fallen heir to the snug sum of $25, 600 by the
death of a maiden anat in England. Mr. w.
has resided here since the commencement of
operations at the American f6undry, some or
s years ago. Mr.. III. has continued to work
at the above name foundry as a fnisher, ex-
cepting short intervals at the Railroad shop,
ever since he came here, and he had uniformly
borne the reputation of being an honest, in
dustrious and worthy citizn, and excellent
workmens and useful gentleman. His good
fortune we are told willimprove these qualities
rather than diminish,them, as is sometimes the
unfortunate effect of large sums of money
suddenly acquired without labor We wish
him joy.-[M A. Ledger, 24th inst.

OF gossipping correspondent writing
from Philadelphia thus speaks of the fashion in
that city:
Those ugly, detestable plaids, better suited
to cover the floor than delicately formed
lady, have again come in vogue; and in order
to show them to more advantage whalebones
or hoops are employed, which give an extra
fullness to the skirt. Broad stripes, which
being truly American and in perfect accordance
with the Republican spirit Of 1855, must be
admired, are to be worn, extensively; but, un-
fortunately, the neat gaiter boot which sets off
the pretty foot and the well-formed ankle, is
to be discarded; and in it's place high heeled
slippers, with large rosettes are to be intro
duced. AS regards bonnets, they appear to
grow frightfully less, and before winter sets in
it is probable that large rosettS fixed on the
back of the hair will take its place.

6FWhen the Massachusetts, abolitionists
meet in convention we do hope they will meet
under some other name than that of Wing
1t is an honorable name, and we dislike to see
it thus desecrated. Bardsto,0n Gaz.
That suits our ideas, Mr.. McCarty. But
then what right have you to feel sensitive
about any present use which may be made Of
the name Wh5g? From the same number oil
the Gazette, we extract the following from
Macs pen:
Some of our exchanges seem sanguine that
the Democracy will be beaten in Ohio this fall,
but we entertain no fears on that score. In
deed, we feel the most undoubting confidence
that Ohio will go Democratic by triumphant
majority.
Mr.. McCarty may probably recollect that
this same Democratic party was the bitter,
uncompromising and most abusive foe of the
Wing party. Yet he is now wishing it sue
cess, and at the same time assuming the right
to rebuke those who misuse the Wing name.
