HAVE YOU SEEN SAMl

We have heard greet many inquiries
about Sam, of late, and IT, .35ost mum.
Der Of weeks since, SID he was round.
However that be, Sam has been seen
in Boston. LAST week we both SAW and
beard Lim-the old veteran Sam Houston,
.ne hero of the Lone Star State. His lec-
tire on the struggles for freedom in Tex
as, was received with expressions of appro-
baton by an immense audience, at the
fremont Temple; and his remarks to the
young Sans, at the Music Hall, were full
Of Encouragement for the American cause
But whatever may be bis excellencics in
the field, or in the Senate, We like his sen
timents on domestic life quite as we'll, as
shown by the following anccdote from the
Western Christian Journal:
influence Of Women. Senator Houston
vss once asked, at a large party given tt
Mr. Speaker Winthrop, why he did no
attend the usual places of amusement, al
be had been accustomed to. His reply
was-this let it be remembered by th'
mothers and daughters ofAmerica.
II make it point" said the honorable
Senator, "never to visit place where m,
wife if she were with me, would be unwil
ling to 60. l know it twould give her pain
q Christian, to attend such places, and
will not 60 myself where l cannot taxi
her"
A member Of Congress present alluded
10 his own wife, and added that there wa
% mutual understanding between him ant
her, that each should follow the bent Q
their own inclinations in such matters
"That may do for you,' responded MI
Houston, "but with me it is different frou
what it is with most men. Ny wife ha
been the making of me. She took m
when I was the victim, Of slavish appetites
she had redeemed and rsgenerated me, AM
I will not do that in her absence which
know would give her pain il she wcre pres
ent."-Mr. Houston isa member of
-
Baptist Church and a native Of Alabama
This is noble tribute to the inAuenc
OF woman, and shows that Gen. Housto
has heart that cah render praise wher
II isbelongs, and that he respects the feeling
Of his wife more than he desires his ow
personal qualifications. Such q man
worthy Of all honor, while lie who tria'
With the feelings and happiness Of his wi
deserves the contempt Of his race. W
liked the appearance and sentiments of IL
eld General, and are glad that we hay
seen Sam. .... ..

Murder Committed in Wells Township,
in this County.

On Sunday, the 1lth inst, a man by
tho name of John Robinson, residing on
ealt Run, Wells tp., was shot by a man
named VIM. Roe. Roc, We are informed,
rested his gun on the corner of his house,
took deliberate aim and fred-the ball en-
,tered the body of Robinson and passed out
a the opposite side. lie lived but few
hours. The cause of this distressing event
Is said to be jealousy. Roe and his wife
had been for some time separated, and he
blamed Robinson for the separation.
A warrant was issued on Monday, for
the arrest Of Roe, but he has not yet been
taken.

THE "TIMEs" FOR 1855.

A press of other business has prevented
the usual of prospectus for 1856, but we
do not know that it makes much difference.
A copy of the paper is the best prospectus,
and we ask every subscriber we have 10
take this number in his hand, show it to
his neighbors, and ask them TO Join him in
taking it next year. We hope they will do
this, and do it at once. We would cheer
fully do as small favor for them, and have
no doubt they will comply with our request.
Recolect, next year will be stirring
year. The Presidential election comes on
in which every one feels an interest-and it
will be one Of the most exciting and inter-
esting elections that has ever taken place in
the United States.
Then we have a Governor, State officers,
Congressman and members Of the Legisla-
ture, and County officers 10 elect in OUR own
State. The next Legislature will have two
United States Senators to elect and our
county elections will be highly interesting
on this account.
Will our friends aid us in extending the
circulation Of The Times? We desire to
double its present extensive circulation, and
must do it.

Washington Items.

Our latest dates from Washington are TO
Friday, the 2lst.
The debate on that day, says dispatch,
widened the breach between the Richard
son and Fuller men. A dispatch Of the
same date, gives the following sketch of the
debate:
"Mr, Cox debated the question of slave
ry, and defended its extension under the
Constitution.
Mr.. Etheridge differed from the gentle
man, claiming that the South held their
slaves in contempt of the Constitution.
Mr.. Cox, after giving several gentlemen
opportunity of explanation concerning the
Kansas Nebraska Bill, concluded his three
hours speech of the recognized principles
of the American party.
Mr.. Cobb, Of Ga, defended his democrat
ic friends from the charge that they are re-
sponsible for the failure to organize the
House, inasmuch as they being in the mi
nority are powerless, without a union with
those with whom they they cannot sympo-
thise. The protective principles Of the
Know Nothings, he said, formed an impas-
sable barrier 10 a union with them. He in
voked the friends of Mr.. Richardson to
stand firm and not waive the Democratic
organization, especially at time when it is
purged of the last vestige of Freesoilism
and entering upon new principles.
Mr.. Foster replied, saying, the Demo.
Gratis had welded themselves to a measure
and not great principle, for it had come out
TO- day, that the Nebraska bill is understood
differently in one section from what it is in
another. lfprinciple is the test, let it speak
but one language. He condemned the Dem
ocrotic caucus resolution. Adjourned"
Another dispatch says:
"Mr. Smith, Member of Congress from
Va, and Mr.. Wallack, editor of the Star,
had severe rencontre in Pennsylvania Az
enue to-day, arising from some structure in
the Star on Smiths political conduct"
Thus far it has been found impossible for
the House TO organise. A motion to adopt
the plurality system did not meet with ia
vor. A resolution was submitted by a Vir-
gina member, providing for the election of
temporary Speaker, until the appropria-
ton bills could be passed, and providing that
the House then adjourn, which was deba-
ted with considerable warmth, and finally
Withdrawn.
The Senate meets and adiourns. They
have had some caucusing and trouble about
a printer. A majority Of the Administers
ton party favor the Union establishment,
while others oppose it. -
