the letter that, ifthe Governor does not cave

as Governor of the Territory, and Lecompte,
as Chief Justice Of the Border Rufians That
transaction, it would seem, was beginning to
open his eyes as to the real state of affairs in

judicial authority to punish Prostate men
for defending themselves, while the wanton
Border Rutlian murderers even when they arc
arrested, which very few of them are, i'm

their fingers in the face Of Governor Geary, as
well as Of the Free State men.
The collision of the Governor and Chief Jus.

will test what the Governor is made of, aud
whether he has the breakbonc in him to stand
up under any circumstances, against the Bor-

New IMPROVEMENT IN MELoDEoSs in alludine a,
our manufacturing interests, we have before taken
occasion to make mention of the establishment of
Messrs Geo. A. Prince, Co., manufacturers of tho
Improved Patent Melodeon' Few of our citizens
are aware OF the extent and Importance of the bns
ness, which has within few years-under the able
management of Messrs, Prince Co.-grown up i'm
our midst giving employment to over two hundred
of best mechanics scattering abroad throughout
every State in the Union. the Canadas, the Shores
of the Pacific and even to the far distant Indies the
products of their skill and making our good city ia
nous throughout the length and breadeh of our land
We lately paid visit to the extensive establish
ment erected by Messrs. P. & Co. ON rheir comodi-
ous lot bounded py Niagara, Maryland, and Seventh
streets and we hazard nothing when we say that for
perfect arrangement and completeness it is not ex,
celled by any mandatory in the United States and
we advise every one interested in growth and
prosperity toava themselves of the first opportu-
nifty to pay visit to this tourshing and interesting
establishment.

new Improvement In the melOde0n 10 now 0n-
nounced by Messrs Prince & Co. called the Divided
Swell. The Improvement of which we refer consists
in simple arrangement, by which either one half
or the whole swell may be opened by the performer
at pleasure thus giving new variety Of tone which
has before been accomplished. For solo play
ing it is just the thing the effecr of which Is
prominence in the melody while the aecompani-
ment is soft and subdued.
This new feature does not interfere in the least
with the nielodeon as it was, as the swell may be
used as whole, heretofore by mcaris Of the foot
pedal. This Improvement, together with the al
ready well established reputation of PRINCE Co.
melodeons, will, we have no doubt, 70 much in
the demand to compel them to add to their
now very extensive manufactory-the largest of its
kind I'M the world. Messrs. PRINtB n Co. could re-
al,ze u handsome fortune by disposng Of rights to-
other manufacturers to their new improvement
but as they prefer to make it feature IN tcir in
struments, it can only be Obtained by purchasing
one of their Manufacture.
Messrs. L. BARKER s. Co., of Hartford, are sole
Agents for the above. W

FInE.-On Monday last, little after noon, the

no means of checking the flames were at hand, they

Stunning every thing before them, house, furniture,
&C., and then leaping to the barn, they consumed
that, with its contents. We did not learn the
amount of the loss, but it must be quite consdera-

A ProvidentiaI Man,

There is no aspiration so glorious as the de-
sire to do good. Howard, bending over the
couch Of sickness and smoothing the pillow Of
death, was greater than Napoleon at Austen
litz. And Thomas Holloway, whose inestima-
BILE medicines are subluing disease Of every
type, in every part of the habitable globe, Is
more worthy of respect and honor than any
warrior that ever drew the sword When
Kossuth visited the United States he was desI
ignated by one of our clergy as the "proyidcn-
tial man." Sure Professor Holloway, who
came to our country on o nobler errand, better
deserves that title. His establishment In New
York has been the fontal source Of health to
thousands of our afflicted fellow citizens His
agencies, established in every city aud town Of
the Union, are the Peoples Dispensaries-
What is true Of the popularity Of his medi-
cines here, is true throughout he corid for
wherever civilization has penetrated, by land
or sea, they are known and appreciated. From
Greenland to Terra del Fuego--from the Mis-
sissippi to the Ganges--they are advertised in
every printed language, and resorted to by
races Of every name and color, as the only re-
liable and proven remedies in oil the phases Of
disease. The leading medical periodicals Of
London and Edinburgh not only except Holiop

reseryedly commend them. In short, If we arc
to believe concurrent testimony Of oil nations,
Professor Holloway has done more to ameliQrata
human suffering aud rob the grave Of victims,
than any other medical discoverer Of this or
any former age. We hare unquestionable an.
thority for saying that his central Offices for tha
old and new world London and New York
send out annually more than ten millions of
dollars worth Of his medicines. ! The statistics
