MORE SHOOTING IN CINCINNATI-We find
in the Cincinnati Enquirer of Sunday last,
the particulars of another shooting case in
that city. Mr. CHALEs ORMsBY, a clerk in
the telegraph office, was engaged to be mar
ried to highly respectable Young lady, and
being informed that a young ma name d
THOMAS JENNINGS, had stated publicly that
his afianced had been unchaste with him
ORMsBY went to the theatre called JEN-
N1NGs out, and asked him if it we're true
that he had stated in public that he, JEN-
N1NGs, had seduced the lady. JENNINGS
promptly answered in the affirmative, when
ORMsBY placed a pistol pistol at his head,
fred, and dangerously wounded him. JEN-
NINGs was carried home and not expected
to recover. ORMsBY was arrested and on
his way to prison said "Jennings seduced
my wife-I don't care if am hung - he
has ruined me-" From the manner in which
the Enquirer speaks of the lady, the heart
lesSness Of JENNINGS falsehoods, tend much
to diminish any pity for him.

"Gor HIM BAD"-Senator Love made
some remarks in joint Convention, which
Mr.. Mcfarland of Henry, said he did not
understand. Thereupon, Love took him off
with the remark that he could give him a
reason, but could not furnish him with an
understanding to comprehend it, Mac got
the Captain down by replying to this, that
he supposed the gentleman from Lee went
upon the well known principle of the
common law that man cannot convey to
another that which he does not possess him

We hope the Captain won't have US ex-
PEELED from the floor of the Senate for
breach of privilege in reporting this jeu d..
esprit. -Keokuk Wing.

The minority in the present Legislature,
stand to-day before the Territory, as the up
holders of its honor, and the true friends Of
its interests. Time is fast developing the
expediency as we'll as the justice of the
course insisted on by them. The annulment
of the charter of the Minnesota and North
western Company, was what they predicted.
Their action has been based upon that be-
lief, as well as upon the right of the ques
tons involved. With how fair a grace
could we now petition Congress to restore
to Minnesota the grant of lands which were
withheld, had their counsels been needed in
the passage of the memorial introduced by
DR.. ANDRos In the stead of that, with
what consistency can our Territory now ask
for aid from the nation She stands, self
branded upon her legislative records, as the
apologist for, and patron Of, a corporation
which the popular branch of Congress, with
out dissenting voice, has stigmatized be-
fore the world as a band of forgers and
swindlers. The people of Minnesota must
pay for the criminal folly of the majority
in the Legislature in the lack of that which
is most needed to develop her resources, and
increase her wealth. The people will "ren-
der unto Caesar the things which are Caesars,
and unto Con the things which are GoDs"
They will consign to an infamy we'll earned,
and eternal, those who, from whatever cor
ruptive influence, have soiled the reputation
Of our Territory, and bartered away her
interests while to Messrs DAVIS, CAVE,
HArs, BRAwLEY, ANDRos, BEATTY, NORRIS,
and SIBIEY, the Immortal Eight" of the
House, and Messrs. OLMsrEAD, VAN ErrEN
and KrrsoN of the Council, will be award
ed those plaudits which the people are al
ways ready to bestow upon such as prove
themselves "good and faithful servants"

rs new and thriving town on the NorM bank OF the

empties into the Minnesota, which Jonathan Carver,
the first English explorer of these regions, named after
himself; and from this circumstance is derived inc
name of the place. Carver has rst-rate landing for

the region spoken of lies still untouched by the hand Of

choicest kind of claims. Carver likewise commands

River from Fort Smelling to Fort Rdgey and the Sioux
Agency; and have erected a substantial bridge

ADVERTISING FOR HUsBAND.-FRANCEs
LAorrA gives notice to her husband and the
rest of mankind, through the Dayton Co.,
Empire, that she will be divorced at the
next term Of the Court for that County, be-
cause her said husband has wilfully absent

HORRIBLE. - Last week a Mr.. Swartle
was taken to the Hanover Street Station
House in Boston, at 9 o'clock in the fore
noon, insensible, with a bruise upon his cheek,
caused by falling. He was laid in the eel,
and not seen again till one O'Clock, when he
was either asleep or still insensible, as he made
no response to the question. No person
visited him again till o'clock, when he was
found dead and cold, and his face cousidera,
he eaten By the rats IN the cell! Mr.. Swaatle.
was . white man, and this occurred in Bos-
ton:
Yes, be was white man, and in that re-
spect he was unfortunate. If he had been
a negro, there is no doubt but that he would
have been kindly cared for by the philan
thropista (1) Of that enlightened city.

WORSE SCARED THAN HURr.-We learn
from the best authority, that since their sus-
pension on Saturday, Page e. Bacon, of this
city, have had time to take accounts on hand
and find that they have Ma money enough,
and could have paid every depositor in full
Not knowing this, however and the telegra-
phic news from New York being so unex-
pected that they had no time to look around
them, they thought it wise to suspend.
The mere fact of suspension will create
some difficulty in resuming; but with proper
moral aid" from this community, we feel as
sured OF an early resumption by this energet-
ic house 81. Louis Ners

Death by Freezing.

We learn from the Rock Island RepuM-
can, that during the tremendous storm of
Saturday the 21st, the wife and child of
Mr.. THOMAS BUTLER, who resided near the
railroad bride at Rock River, were frozen
to death. Mr. BUTLER came to Rock Is
land on Saturday the 3Oth, to settle with
MIR. WARNER, in whose employment he is
now, and getting through with his business
concluded to stay till Monday. The Re
publican adds -.
"Mrs. Butler and her child were alone
and during the terrible storm and wind on
Sunday, started to 60 across the prairie to
an acquaintance who lived about mile dis
tant from her house, and both mother and
child persisted on the way When found
the little child had its hands clenched full OF
snow, and frozen fast 1t is said by some,
that Mrs. Butler was forced to go to the
neighbOrS or freeze, as she had got out of
wood. Mr.. Warner says that this is not
so, for there was plenty of wood at the
door, and plenty of all kinds of provisions
in the house, as it was the boarding house
for his men, Besides she might have found
shelter at Mr.. Bysant's, not half the dis
lance she attempted to go. Mr.. Warner
thinks the woman got frightened or lone
some, and started for the house Of an &C
quaintance to stay until Mr.. Butler returned,
and thus mother and child persisted in this
most distressing manner"
