Serious Occurren
Gen. Palmer passed through this place
yesterday. lie has effected treaties with all
the Southern Indians.
From him we learn Of the following mel
ancholy occurrence. On the 26th ult., at the
mouth of Rogue River, an Indian shot and
wounded in the shoulder simmer of the name
of James Buford The Indian was arrested
by Ben. Wright, Indian Agent, and exam
ined by justice and bound over. The
miners were anxious to lynch the Indian,
and declared their purpose to do it. U. 5.
troops were sent for 10 assist the officer, and
eleven men were sent down. With them
the Indian was placed in canoe, to be taken
to the Council ground, and from thence to
Port Oxford to await the sitting of the court.
It was about dark when the canoe started up
the river. They had not been gone long
before another canoe was heard approaching
them, in which the forms Of three men
could be distinguished. They padded along
side and fired, killing the Indian in custody,
and another Indian that was padding. The
soldiers then fred upon the attacking canoe,
and killed the three men instantly. They
proved to bo James Buford, who was shot by
the Indian, Mr.. Hankins, partner of Buford
and one OBrien, n trader. The last named
had a wife at Whalesburg, at the mouth o.
Rogue River.
An inquest was held upon the bodies o
the three men. Great excitement existe,
among the citizens, but Gen. Palmer thinks
no outbreak will take place.

[From the Western Christian Advocate

The undersigned beg leave to submit few
facts and suggestions relative to the above
institution. In the fast place, II is exclu-
sively FEMALE SCHOOL, and of a high grade.
1t is located at the capital, and, by means of
railroad facilities, is accessible from all parts
of the State.
In the next place, it is in the hands of a
laup,an; and the success of the experiment
demonstrates that it is not always necessary
to take ministers of the Gospel from their
special work, and place them where the min
istcr Is merged into the teacher; not neccs-
sary even in conference Institutions.
Professor Hoss, lately principal literary
teacher i'm the Institute of the Blind, assisted
by three other teachers, constitute the board
of instruction. The number of names al
ready enrolled is nearly one hundred, and
the prospects for continued increase fayora-
BILE. AS to thoroughDess of instruction, we
have only to say we are satisfied.
The religious influences brought to bear
upon the pupils are of the most favorable
character. The devotional exercises each
morning lead the mind to the contemplation
of heavenly things.
Lectures are delivered weekly before the
school by the clergymen, and others, of the
city. In conclusion, we add, that parents
may safely intrust their daughters to the care
of the Principal and his lady. Further
young ladies desiring thoroughness of schol
arship will not find the means. wanting for tn,

From almost every part OF the country, as

unouestionable evidence OF the sinking condI-
tion ofthe Know Nothing order. lis fall prom

SCAMP.

A young sramp, about 25 years of age, is at
present traverSing Pennsylvania, Ohio, aud the
adjacent states. He is man of short stature,
with black hair, and rather narrow counte-
nance, and is not heavily built. He pretends
to BE- deaf and dumb, which, however, is very
doubtful. He writes in English capitals and
his orthography is very bad. 1t is the opinion
of the writer that be understands the German
language better than the English, Tor he writes
Engish as a German would write it. He
changes his name as often as he considers ne
ceSsary in order 10 deceive. In the mouth of
March he came 10 Lehigh county, and visited
family, which has brother aud his children
residing in Ohio. He pretended to be the
youngest son of the brother in Ohio, and said
that he had just left the deaf aud dumb nsti-
tute in Philadelphia, and was short in money
As he first visited The younger members OF the
family, he succeeded in swinding them out Of
several dollars. When, however, he came to
his pretended uncle, he was discovered to be
an mposter and compelled to leave. He then
went further in search OF new booty. The
next, OF which we have heard, he found al the
house OF clergyman residing IN Clinton coun-
ty, Penna. lie there pretended to be a mem
btr OF very respectable family in Allentown,
and as the clergyman was born and educated
in Allentown, he felt sympathy for him, aud
gave him two dollars.
He then continued his Journey, and in the
present month Of August he arrived in Miamis-
burg, Ohio, and there sought the relatives Of
the family, which he had partly deceived in
Lehgh CO., Pa. He SAID that he was the son
OF their uncle in Lehigh county, and thus their
cousin. He said that he had lost his voice and
hearing by an attack Of sickness, and that he
was now travelling for the Improvement Of bis
health. He also said that his father had given
him $50, when he left home, which had been
stolen from him al Pittsburg while sleeping,
so that he was now in unplrasent circumStan-
ceS, for his money was gone and bis clothes
were SO badly worn that he could not go to
visit his friends in Butler county, and that be
wished he was at home with his parents The
good people had no suspicion but much COM
passion. They received him kindly. gave him
money and suit of clothes TO the value Of
$3.50. He then appeared to be PLEASED, and
wrote that he now wished 10 visit bis friends
in Butler county, and that, in the meantime
they Shoild write to his father for $50, and ex-
plain his misfortune and they would soon re-
ceive their money He promised soon 10 re-
turn and receive the surplus ofthe money, in
order TO go home. He left and will without
doubt never return. Let those who do not
wish to be swinded look cut for him.
Exchanges will confer favor by giving theI
above place.

0LD-FASHEONED MORALITY.

If all our clergymen are not baxters, Bar
rows, and Whi6elds, their influence upon the
people for coed or for evil is beyond all calcu-
lation. Those who do the most good, however,
are the men who most closely study the chaTac-
ter and the example Of the early teachers OF
Christianity. The noisy and inflammatory
priest, the pragmatical humanitarian, querulous
and reforming polemic, who attempt TO cure all
slhe ills that flesh is heir to'-such as these are
rarely remembered except in the passions they
excite. But those who are divines after the
Divine example. who preach goodwill among
men, are certain to become almost as immor-
tai as the truths they utter. These latter are
the teachers of oldashioned virtues, and are not,
perhaps, as popular as the Ward Beecher school
of political clergymen. 1t will do no harm,
however, to reproduce an occasional example
ten by a Kentucky clergyman who has evident-
ly had nothing to do with The Louisville riots /:
''I am now in my 18th year, and have been in
the ministerial Office little upward OF half a cen
tury. Daring the long course OF my ministry
ten years OCCUPYING the old homestead, and up
wards Of forty in my present location, and under
different phases OF the political atmospheric
never saw it my duty, or felt the slightest incli-
nation TO preach what is generally called po-
litical sermon. And If, by one word, or even
insinuation, from the pulpit, ever disturbed or
Interrupted the feelings OF political hearer, |
never knew il. | never entered the election
eering canvass for any man, even thy most fa-
vorite political friends. And when | thought

vote secretly or indirectly for any man. In

ity, the dignity, and sacredness of the pulpit,
well as detrimental 10 the spiritual edifca-
ton Of the people, for the ambassador Of Heaven
to turn aside from his Masters work to mingle
with the excited multitude, where little else is
to be heard bat wrangling and jangng about
men and measures, without any addition to put
most certainly detracting from, the credit and
influence Of his clerical character. OF all the
offices ever held by man that of an ambassador
Of Christ is the most dignifed and responsible.
