SOMETHING OF A FAMnY.-A cores
pondent of the Urbana Citizen writes
from Bourbon County, Ky, about fam
lily as follows:
The old gentleman is native of
Maryland, and is now in his 10Th year;
was brought to the State of Kentucky
when quite young, and has raised his
family in the above county, consisting
of six sons and three daughters"
He then proceeds to describe the fam
lily, all of whom are six feet in height,
the tallest being six feet / j inches, and
the lowest Ga daughter) six feet two in
ches-the aggregate height of the whole
of them, eleven in number, being seven
ty feet The father weighs 200 lbs,
the mother 2S5. and the children from
$50 to 26G lbs. Theiraggregate weight
is $500 lbs. The writer adds:
"The family are all living except the
youngest daughter, are all wealthy, and
of the first families of Kentucky.

dren are over six and half feet, and
still growing.

Frozen TO DEATH.-A letter from
King and Queen county, Va, dated Feb
ruary Och, after referring to the severity
of the weather, says:
1t has been difficult with many to pro-
cure the necessaries of life-many have
lost valuable cattle and other live stock;
and still more melancholy, several of our
citizens, and number Of slaves in this
section, have been frozen to death and
found dead in the fields.
Mr. Archer and Mr.. Carlton, both of
King and Queen, were found near their
own houses frozen, one of them leaning
against the drawbars, which he had evil
IDENTIFY attempted in vain to- get over
The other had dismounted from his horse
and opened his gate, when his horse got
away from him, and he wandered a shor
distance in the snow, laid down and died
a stout negro man was standing erect
in field, not far from a house, 50 long
rs to excite curiosity, and it was found on
examination that he, too, was frozen to
death

A week Later from Europe.

A telegraphic despatch informs us Of
the arrival at Halifax on the 18th in
slant, ofthe steamer Canada. Her dates
from Liverpool are to the I'd of February
We regret that she brings no news
whatever of the missing American mail
steamer Pacific, which sailed from Liv-
erpool on the 23d of January, ten days
before the Canada, and has not been
heard of. Although she may have re-
turned to England after the sailing of the
Canada, Or may have found refuge
elsewhere without being able to commu-
nicatc with this country on account of
her condition, we regard it as fearfully
probable that more melancholy fate has
befallen her.
BY this arrival VIC have the welcome
intelligence of the favorable progress of
the peace negotiations. Dispatches re-
ceived at Vienna from Russia confirm
the telegraphic statement of the uncon-
ditional acceptance of the peace propo-
sitions by the Gar. The memorandum
cmbodying the propositions had been
signed at Vienna and sent to Paris. 1t
was reported that the Peace Congress
will assemble at Paris on the 18th of
February, and that the whole matter will
be settled by the 25th. The signing of
preliminaries only awaited the arrival Of
the Turkish plenipotentiary
Baron Brunow and Count Orlof are
the Russian Observation-Disclosures, Lord
Clarendon represents Great Britain, the
Marquis D'Azeglio Sardinia, Count Buol
Austria, NJ. Walewski France, and Der
wish Pacha Turkey.
1t is asserted that Prussia refuses to
agree to the conditions exacted by the
Allies preliminary to her admission to
the Peace Conference, and that she will
consequently be excluded from participa-
ting in it,
The Speech of the Queen of Great
Britain at the opening of Parliament is
not of particular interest. 1t does not
mention American affairs.
The London Morning Advertiser says
that Mr.. Buchanan and Lord Clarendon
had an interview at the Foreign Office
on Tuesday, when very angry words
passed between them touching Central
American affairs.

Your State tax, at that time, instead Of

SHOCKING AFFAIR IN VIRGINIA. The
Petersburg Express has the following
PARTICULARS of a bloody tragedy which
occurred at Jerusalem, Southampton, on
Friday last, the 18th instant:
On the night previous to the perpetra-
ton of the deed, at party or ball given
in Jerusalem, Capt. George Newsom, a
highly esteemed and respected citizen,
and late the Representative of his county
IN the State Legislature, gave some Of
fence to a young lady, which relative of
hers, young medical student under the
instruction Of DR.. Parker, of that place,
named Calhoun Barret, resented by
telling him not to speak to her again, or
II he did he B would shoot him. New
som, beng somewhat intoxicated, after
wards asked the young lady to dance
with HIM, upon which Barrett shot at him,
the ball passing through some part of his
coat. Newsom then left, and sent word
to Barrel that he must prepare to die, for
he intended to shoot him.
On the next day Barrel saw Newsom
coming along the road in buggy, with
a double barrelled gun, black man
driving for him. When Newsom per-
ceived him, he raised the gun as If to
hre' but Barret, being also provided with
a gun, fired first, the contents striking
N. somewhere about the breast, CAUSING
him to fall forward over the spatter.

COLD LINEn WuIGs

1t will not be denied that a large share
of the late triumphant success of the
Democratic party in this State, is Justly
due to the numerous and timely accession
TO our ranks, of those who were formerly
arrayed in conscientious opposition to us
on the score of principle. Finding them
selves upon can open sea'-the conse-
quence of a breaking up of the old Wing
party-and repudiating the anti-republi-
can and unholy pretensions of a new-fan-
gled organization, which darkly essayed
to dictate terms to, and allure them into
its folds-they cast about them like men
of sense and noble purpose for a lodg-
ment of security for the anchor of their po-
litical faith. Naturally enough, the DEM
ocratic party presented to their view that
ark and refuge for which they longed-
that bulwark of defence against the dan
gers that imperilled the ship of State
and without hesitation they committed
their political destinies to its keeping,
with every assurance of having thereby
done their duty to themselves, their coun-
try, and their God. They were received
with that welcome in the great Demo-
cratic family, which springs from Joy
Gus consciousness of being made the IA
vored and deserving instrument of such
worthy and encouraging augmentations.
\ covenant which thus secured to them
the full privileges and advantages of
fellowship and communion, was ratified
by the exertions which they so manfuIly
and cheerfully extended to our cause dur
ing the late contest-a contest, the re-
suit Of which, all things considered, is
almost without parallel in the history
of important political triumphs.
Honor, then, everlasting honor, to the
wise heads and noble hearts Of sold line"
Whiggeryl They are now of us and
with us, in the great work of extending
the area of Democracy, and we are free
to recognize in them an identity of polit-
ical feeling and interest, which has been
consecrated by deeds of noble daring.
The Time has arrived when the Dem
ocratic party re-asserts its strength and
is enabled to mark by graceful appreci-
alton, the labors and efforts of those gal
liant spirits who came forward to its res
cue. Being again in the ascendancy in
the Legislature, the opportunity for such
manifestations will be presented to it in
the distribution of the numerous offices
within its gift. Among those who will
come before it in attitudeof claimants for
a share of its political bounties, we learn
there will be several of the class above
referred to. We sincerely hope they
will not be overlooked. Their claims
are legitimate and deserving, and to ex-
clude them from all recipiency in the be-
stowal of favors, would be not only to
pursue line of policy much to be depre-
Gated, but to commit that sin which in
every age has been considered, of all
others, one of the deepest dye-the sin
of ingratitude. -Batoa Rouge Sentinel.
