vile Courier throws the following light on
the antecedents and character of Pat. Laugh
lin, the Kansas hero:
Laughlin is quite young man, not per-
haps, more than twenty three years of age,
and formerly resided in Scott County, in this
State. He kept small grocery store on
the Georgetown and frankfort Turnpike,
and having, about one year since, accumula-
ted, borrowed, and collected all the cash
possible, departed for unknown regions. He
left his family and friends large indebted
ness to pay, and by other remembrances of
that sort, caused his memory not to be par
ticularly blessed by the people among whom
he formerly lived.
Zone day last week, three ladies,
mother and daughters, proceeded to the
house of a young man in Lafayette street,
Brooklyn, and gave him severe whipping
with cowhides, which they brought along for
the express purpose. The cause appears to
be that the man circulated injurious reports
in regard to one of the young ladies, who,
having no other means of redress, resolved
upon the above course to obtain satisfaction
and she got it.
SALE OF VERMONT RAILRoD SrocK.-On
the 25th of November, says the Boston
Courier, all the genuine shares of the Yer
mont Central Railroad were sold at sher-
ifs auction, at one mill per share, on account
of various suits brought against the corpora
ton, under the peculiar laws of Vermont
The purchaser of the stock was lawyer of
Burlington, and the 100000 shares, at one
mill per share amount to 800 only
The 10, 400 spurious shares were not sold.

Their claims are probably about as valuable
as those of the reputed heirs to fifty millions
of pounds in England.

ESThe Kansas news by last nights
mail, is not of very exciting character
The citizens of Lawrence and the Free State
men of Kansas, have issued an appeal to the
citizens of the United States, notifying
them that Charge body of armed men from
a foreign State are perpetrating outragcs,"
and demand the aid of those called upon in
their behalf. Col. Lane and others have
called upon Col. Sumner the Commandant
at Fort Leavenworth, for the assistance of
the U. S. troops to queA the riot and prevent
further invasion of their peace and security.
The report heretofore published of the
surrender of their arms by the citizens of
Lawrence is without the least foundation.
The Missouri troops have received orders
to dsband. The disbanding gave rise to
general murmers and excavations of Shannon
among the Missouri troops. On their re-
turn from Kansas the Missouri men suffered
intensely from terrible storm of rain, wind
and snow, which terminated in a piercing
cold. They also lost some of their arms
and quite a number of horses.
The papers found in the possession of Gen.
Pomeroy are supposed to have been memo
rial to the President and Senate.

CAPACITY OF THE ERIE RAILROAD FOR
FREIGHT. The closing of navigation for
the season has set the n. Y. journal of
Commerce to calculating the capacity of the
Erie Railroad forthe transportation of freight.
AT this season more than half the eastward
bound freight offering consists of flour, and
the Company are confident that they can
bring $4,000 bbls of -four per week (if SO
much Offers throughout the entire winter.
without neglecting any other freight which
it is desirable to secure. In fact the COM
pany will bind themselves to bring to tide
water $4,000 bbls per week, if any respon-
sible contractor will undertake to furnish it.
This would only require about eighty cars
per day, as each car holds 12O bbls. AT
this rate, there will not be much danger Of
famine at the East during the winter.
QUEER FIsH.--A curious fish has been
found upon the beach at Newport, Rhode
Island, few days since, which was entirely
unknown to all who saw it. In length il
was about foot, in form something like q
mackerel, though with considerably less
bulk; in color it was a dark blush green
upon the upper part of the back, and the
sides and belly were white, with no scales
The head was long and tapering, and ended
in a bill resembling that of snipe, and about
the same length. 1t was sent to Professor
Agassiz.
Il Gov. Shannon says he is "deter-
mined to protect the unoffending people o
the Territory from lawless violence" The
way he proposes to do this is to shield the
murderer Of young Dow by imprisoning
under false charge of crime, the witness
necessary to convict the murderer: His
"protection" is extended to those who shed
innocent blood, and his co-operators are those
who deem it . virtue to shoot down men OPP
posed to Slavery.

TnE LsoPAgD's ATrAcK.--The power OF a
leopard is wonderful in proportion to his
weight. j have seen aiull grown bullock
with lis neck broken by the leopard that at
tackled it. II is the popular belief that tie
effect is produced by blow Of the paw !;
this is not the case. Few lcopards rush
ODDLY to the attack like dos. They stock
their GANG, and advance crouchingIy, max
ing use OF every object that will afford them
coser, until they are w Thin few bounds Of
their p ey. Tncn the immense pO er OF
muscle Is displayed in the concentrated
energy Of the spring. He flies through the
air and settles on the throat, usually throw
ing his own body over the animal, while his
teeth and claws are fixed on the neck this
is the manner in which the spine of the ami
mai is broken by q sudden twist, and not by
blow. The blow from the paw is, never
thelcsS, immensely powerful, and one stroke
viii rip open bullock like knife, but the
after. effects Of the wound are still more to
be dreaicd than the first blow. There is
pecu lar poison in the Claw, which is highly
dangerous. This is caused by the putrid
flesh which they are constantly tearing. and
which is apt to cause gansrenc by inecula-
tion.-Baker's WanGerings IN Ceyloa.
