Horrible Tragedy.--Seducer Shot--.In.
quest and verdict.


The town of Port Hope was thrown into
state of great excitement yesterday, the like of
which has not been known for years, in conse-
quence OF a man being shot dead at the harbor.
About six weeks ago the deceased, whose
name was Thos. Henderson. seduced the wife of
Geo. Brogdin, Esq, a respectable barrister of
this town, and eloped with her to Rochester
Mr.. Brogdin followed him thither for the pur-
pose of having satisfaction, but was not success
ful. Yesterday, as the steamer Arabian, from
Toronto, came alongside of the wharf, Mr..
Brogdin discovered the deceased standing at
the bar of the boat and Immediately drew his
revolver fred through the window at the de-
stroyer of his happiness, the ball taking effect
under the left shoulder blade, passing through
the body at the right breast. The deceased
welked about three PAGES and then fell lifeless
on the floor There were about 800 persons on
the wharf at the time. The Mayor of the town
was also there and Immediately ordered the
| constables to arrest Brogdn, which was done.
Brogdin was taken a short time after the occur
renee. R. Maxwell, ESQ.,, coroner, as soon as
possible, held an inquest. The jury viewed the
body last night and then adjourned till nine this
| morning. After sitting all day, they retired at
| nine o'clock, and after short absence they re-
turned with the following verdict:
I'VE, the undersigned Jurymen, empaneled
| " chquhS uo", auu uy WHaI Hedus 1uOtuds
Henderson, deceased, came by his death, opl
oa;hs do find that said deceased came to his
death by means of bullet, discharged from g
pistol in the hand of George Brogdin; and We
do forther find that said George Brogdin com
mitted such act under great and justiiable pro
| vocation, and would express the strongest re
probation of that course of licentiousness ontht
part of the deceased, which produced such 4
| fearful retaliation"
Signed by sixteen out Of eighteen of The
1 jurors. r
Great excitement prevails in the town, ant
the sympathy of the public is with the prisoner
I-he being much injured man.
The jury was composed of eighteen intelligen
men. The deceased came on board the Pro
vincial from Rochester, and landed on tn,
wharf on Monday last. He was advised by som.
bystanders to remain on the boat, and not shoy
himself for fear of Brogdin, who was on III,
lookout for him.

II. e. M. II. Railroad. Mills County


The citizens of interior and western Iowa gen.
orally are deeply interested in the speedy COM
pletion of our Western road, and we are glad
to see some ofthem moving efficiently in the mat
ter. The enterprising citizens of Glenwood and
of Mills county, held meeting on the goth,
and among other proceedings, adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Resolved, 1st. That in consideration of the
advantages that will accrue to the citizens
of Mills county, and the farming interests in
particular, that we should offer every induce
ment to the Burlington and Missouri River Rail-
road company, to locate the terminus of their
road on the Missouri River, near the mouth Of
Platte River. ..
Resolved, I'd. That we deem the Burlington
and Missouri River railroad the best and most
natural outlet for market for the sale of the
! surplus produce of this county.
| Resolved, Sd. That we recommend to the
County Judge to call an election at the several
precincts of this county for the purpose of vot-
ing yea or nay, on the question whether the
county will or will not issue bonds to the amount
of $3.50, 900 to the Burlington & Missouri river
until the said railroad company are ready to
commence the construction of the railroad
through this county, and the proceeds OF said
bonds to he expended within the limits of said
county.
Resolved 4th. That we recommend to the
County Judge of this county, to correspond with
the County Judges of all the different Other
counties of this tier, east from this, and west O.
Wapello, that we may all work unitedy in aid
ing this great work, which is of so much impor
| lance to every county on this route.

forms US that city functionaries and police Off
GERS do not 60 dry upon Sundays, if loafers and

the habit Of supping their brandy and water at
pet drinking houses where well dressed and re
spectacle drinkers can get it at all hours of the
day. Ifit is good policy, and we think it is, to
dry up the drinking places on Sundays, We
think no distinction should be made. If it is
healthful and advantageous to dock-wallopers to
abstain on the Sabbath, gentlemen, one would
think, would find it equally advantageous -

/ of Fremont.
The Washington Union discrediis Mr. bn'
cbanan under oath. Referring TO the afidavita
in exculpation Of Col Fremont from all the
charges trumped up against him in relation %
his transactions in California, the Union says
| at is evident that Mr.. Buchanan, IN 1852, I'm
| declaring Fremont the conqueror of California
labored under the same misapprehension IS 70
the conquest of California, which prevailed
throughout the country" Whereupon the n.
Y. Herald comments in this wise:
at is evident ia it How evident? The
conquest of California took place in 1s46, from
which time to the end Of the Mexican war, and
for year after, James Buchanan was Secreta-
ry of State at Washington, q very good posi-.
ton, one would think. for securing the official
and authentic facts of the doings OF Fremont
in California.
Mr.. Buchanan's opinion is given six years af-
ter The conquest in Issue. During this interval,
the history-offcial and unoffcial-of all the
military operations in California Of Col fre-
mont and all others engaged in the war, were
published in all sorts Of forms, by government
and upon private speculation; and during this
interval, too, the claims of Colonel Fremont for
the fulfliment of debts incurred in the public
service, we're fully canvassed by James Buchan-
an, as our Secretary of State. With all these
advantages and opportunities for correct
judgment, James Buchanan, in the retirement
of an independent citizen more than six years
after the great event of which he speaks, de-
clares under oath and in writing, and with
out fear or Affection" that Gin my opinion he
(Col. Fremont) ,s better entitled to be called
the Conqueror of California than any other
man."
Yet the Washington Union tells us that this
opinion, thus deliberately formed, and from the
best possible sources of information, was mis-
apprehersion"-that James Buchanan knew
nothing of what he was swearing to be the
truth, and that his testimony is good for moth
ing. If, under all the circumstances recited,
such is the case, the fact is established that
James Buchanan has lost his mind and his
and is, consequently, unfit for the i'm
portant duties of the Presidency.

The salt spring. I'm Nebraska.


We are informed by Mr.. Hebird, of this city,
who recently visited Nebraska Territory, and
made an examination of the newly discovered
Salt Lake and Springs, that there is no exaggei-
alton in the accounts published-that it is real
ly the most valuable saline region yet discover
ed in this country, and will afford salt enough to
salt the whole world!
Mr.. Hebird says i: is situated some forty miles
from the Missouri and twenty-five miles from
the Platte river-that this water is discharged
from quite number of springs, the capacity Of
one of which he measured, and found that it dis
charged 100000 gallons in twenty-four hours.
He brought bottle of the water here, which
was handed to one of our druggists for analy-
sis. And this gentleman declares it almost
free from mineral or other foreign substances,
and that it will afford one pound of pure salt to
each gallon of water. Here is mine of real
wealth opened which will prove more valuable
than the gold mines of California. Nebraska is
destined to salt the entire West and Northwest.
Push along the Burlington and Missouri River
railroad and be ready to transport this new ar
