Assassination OF GOV. HeeiS..
Wssaw, ysste dsy, n gentleman Just from
kansas. who was going 70 Ssw York for his
family, who stated that he came down the
river sith free State settler, who stated
that gang Of Douglasiti from Missouri,
after yst,ng al different places, went to the
lodgings 81 Gov. Reed.r jus. after dark, and
called him to the door,, and that several
monatei mea feej at him, and then gal!oped
of, and that Gov. Rsedsr was severely
wounded ia three different places, and that
his recovery was doubtful.
We think Gov. Reeder mus. be alive, or
We should have heard OF il. But 50 far as
the infamy Of the friends OF Douglas, Ateh-
inson, SlriDgfellow, &C., is concerned, it is
ali the same as If they accomplished their
object.
Gen. Sam Houston. without any fear OF
"dissolying the Union," has ven,ored to de-
nounee Gen. Pierce ms a bad President, and
also us having advisers around him. But
this was not the worst Of his sayings. He
even declared that there was no longer n
democratic party, and illustrated his opinion
MS follows:
"a log lisa log before you split it: but
split the log, aud il IL no longer log. The
democratic party is split, the know-nothings
have split it;'--srgo, there is no democratic
party"

The Louisville journal says There has
been much excitement in central locality
Of the city since Tuesday morning, in conse-
qucnce Of the sudden disappearance of a

LADIES' DREssEs, = Thu resent fashion for
ladies' dresses in New York and Boston is
just as many fiounces as can be tackled on be-
tween the waist aud the bottom of the SKIRT
In fact, a fashionably dressed lady in the
street is nearly al, Aounce. The short man.
tila looks like lounce number one, and from
its lower edge downward, the dress resembles
series of pyramidal steps--a silken stair
case up which eat or cupid might readily
climb. Of course, the lower circumference
OF this mass of furbelows is enormous, and
the Lilliputian hat scarcely visible at the
figure has no head-a notion that, in some
instances, is not far from the fact Boston
Courier.
The Nuremburgh (Germany) Courier states:
under the head of Stuttgard, that the corpo-
ration OF Baisinger, in the province of liorh,
have sold their poor-house to the Jews, and
sent their poor to America.
Doot. Thomas, of Cincinnati, who nobly
rendered his services during the yellow fever
at Portsmouth, has returned home--one of
the few physicians who escaped with their
lives. Such q man deserves public oya-
ton.
The Boston Post says a young man named
Dwight Merrill, of Itios, n. Y, who aided
in removing and laying out the corpse Of
Schwartz, killed on the railroad at South
Boston, has become insane in consequence of
the excitement attending upon that duty.

sThere We behold woman in her glory; not
doll to carry silks or jewels; not puppet
to be battered by profane adoration-rev-
ereneed to-day, discarded to-morrow-al-
ways jostled out Of the place which nature
has assigned her, by sensuality or by con.
tempt-admired but not respected desired
but not esteemed-ruled by ASSIGN, not af-
fection--imparting her weakness, not her
consistency; we sea her wife, partaking the
care and cheering the anxiety Of a husband,
