ANOTHER MURDER.

We learn that on Friday last man by the
name of Bradley Allison shot his father in
law, Mr.. Van Norton, in the edge of Wis
consin, near the north line Of Alden. For
some time Allison and his wife had been un-
able to live together, and she had gone back
to her father alleging as the cause the ex-
treme cruelty and maltreatment of Allison,
He feeling himself injured, had repeatedly
threatened the lives Of both of them, and in
consumation of these threats, on Friday last,
while the old man was sowing grain in his
field, crawled stealthily up behind the fence
and shot him. The ball entered the right
side perforating tae lungs, and passing out
near the end of the ribs on the left. Allison
seeing that the old man did not fall as he
expected, Jumped over the fence and ran at
him with q double barrelled pistol in his
hand, but in his hurry only half cooked it,
and a. ho presented the old man seized the
barrels and wrenched them from the
stock. Upon this Allison clenched the
old man, threw him upon the ground, COM
menced beating And choking him, when q
hired man and the wtmen compelled him to
desist.-W oodstock Free Press.

This distinguished gentleman has been
making ashort njoarn here, and yesterday
visited the Lunatic Asylum, accompanied
By Judge JOHNSON, and DR.. CLARK,
Of Iowa. These three gentlemen are upon
the duty Of examining various Hospitals
in order to adopt plan for one in our young
sister State. The arrangement and con-
struction Of this Hospital met with un-
qualified appreciation, and the gentlemen
proceeded east this morning.
We have the greatest admiration for
Governor Grimes; intellectually he is a
giant, and that talent is graced by all the
requisites which make up the gentleman.
There never was more manly fight than
he made in his run for Governor, and nc
soldier ever emerged from a contest with
more glowing honor than he.

DIsTILLERIEs UNFAvoRABLE FOR FARNERs.-
The Ohio Cultivator, in allusion to the COM
mon plea that distilleries afford market for
corn, and keep up the price says in substance
that Ohio pork would command two or three
dollars more barrel in some of the Eastern
markets if purchasers could be assured that
none Of it was still fed-and that, generally,
the farmers of Ohio lose at least half mil
lion of dollars for the State. Also that the
value of lands would be greatly enhanced 10
some neighborhoods if these nuisances could
be removed; and that such is their influence
on the community around them that iutelli-
gent persons avoid purchasing farms in their
vicinity. II 10 likewise stated that there are
many townships in Ohio where the lands are
deprecated full Is per cent, from this cause.

Davenport is not only one of the largest,
but is the most Ao:rishing city in Iowa,
and certainly the best point for investment.
Strangers are focking into our city by
hundreds, and observing the advantages,
both natural and acquired, we possess, are
largely identifying themselves with u.s.
Being directly on the line of the great
backbone Railroad of America, connecting
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, with un-
interrupted Eastern communication, and at
the only point where for many years the
Mississippi will be spanned by bridge,
greater inducements are held out by Daven-
port than by any city in the State.
60 T Davenport Gazette.
Burlington is the greatest city of an
cient or modern times. This is generally
conceded. Situated at the junction Of the
Mississippi and great Back Bone Railroad
soon to be completed from London to Pc
kin, China, Burlington will be the great
halfway house, and the geographical cen
tire of the world. Besides the world and
his wife have been here, like the city and
are coming back to settle soon. Strangers
who buy lots are warranted to double their
money every thirty days or no sale. 1t is
very probable that the National capitol
will be removed here at the next session of
Congress, provided there is no objection to
the location Of such bear garden here, on
the part of our moral and religious popu-
lation.
We pause to hear from Dubuque, Musca-
tine and Keokuk.

DEAn Dora when thy lovers sue
10 hear thy love confessed,
Remember that my words are true
The harvest love the best.
The titled coxcomb's jcwellcd hand
May lead thee through the dance:
The polished courtier's whispers bland
An evening may entrance;
Eut he who on thy rinyicis fair
Should place the bridal wreath,
Is he would not fear to draw
Ills good sword flom its shcnth.
Not he who boasts his valiant deeds
All Others do eclipse;
Weonly hear the brave mans praise
Upon another lips.
Then ere within thy gentle heart
Love smiles himself forest,
Remembc, that my words are true.
The bravest love the best.

THE HORRORS OF WAR-A FEARFUL TRACE
DY.-The London Times lays before its read
ers the particulars of horrible affair,
which recently occurred near the Dutch set
Element Of Transvaal; at the Cape of Good
Hope, which can only be paralleled in atl o.
city among the achievements of modern times
by the exploit of Marshall St. Arnaud in AL
giers, when he smoked and burned to death
thousands of his barbarian opponents who
had sought refu.e in a deep and spacious
cave:
ssIn the case at the Cape Of Good Hope,
the Caffre Indians had murdered in October
last, under circumstances of gre barbarity
ten or twelve men and women of the Dutch
settlement. Immediately Gen. Pretorious
raised an army of 500 men, and accompanied
by Commander General Posgieiter, proceeded
on an expedition TO revenge the blood of the
victims. After an absence of several weeks,
they reached some remarkable subterranean
caverns, falf mile in length, and from three
to five hundred feet in width, where the CAT
fires had entrenched themselves. Upon his
arrival at this spot, General Pretorious at
tempted to blast the rocks above the caverns
and thus crush the savages beneath the ruins.
The peculiar character of the stone, however
rendered this scheme impracticabie, and he
then stationed his men around the mouths
Of the caves, and built up walls in front of
them. After few days many of the women
and children were driven by hunger and
thirst from their hiding places, and were al
lowed to escape; but every man who came
forth was shot dead by their rifles. On the
18th of November at the close of q seige of
three weeks, the beseigers seeing no signs
of life entered the caverns, and the silence
within together with the horrible odor aris-
ing from the bodies of the dead, told how
efectually their object had been accomplish
cd. More than nine hundred Caffres had
been shot down at the mouth of the caverns
and much greater number had persisted by
slow degrees, suffering all the horrors of star.

An Example Worthy Of Imitation.

A little paragraph is going the rounds of
the papers saying that Edward J. Roy,
formerly a colored barber of Terre Haute,
Indiana, had been speaker of the House, a
candidate for the Presidency in Liberia,
and was now editing newspaper in that
country. He was always shrewd, cner-
getic and enterprising darkey, especially
in money getting-was raised in Newark,
Ohio. While yet lad he accumulated
and saved several hundred dollars-went
to Athens College, and paid his way by
shaving, hair-dressing and boot blacking
for the students. He followed barbering,
trading and traficing for a number of years,
emigrated to Liberia with a stock Of
goods seven or eight years ago, since when
he has been quite whale among small
