THE ELECTION.

We are without definite returns from Penn
sylvania, as regards the votes in the several
counties We make the majority for BUCHAN-
AN about $1,000. The straight FILLMORE vote
will exceed that number, leaving BUCHANAN in
minority in his own State. The fusion vote
is largely in favor of Fremont.
We give below our table of electoral votes
which we believe is correct. Illinois was for
some days reported for Fremont, but it is con-
ceeded for BUCHANAN by a small majority
The Republican State Ticket is however cleo
ted by $4,000 majority. These results have
been brought about as in this State, by the
Fillmore men.
Tennessee, louisiana and Florida have also
been reported as doubtful, but they are now
considered as certain for BUCHANAN by large
majorities.

From the Philadelphia North American, November G.
Homicide in Philadelphia,

Aboat ten minutes past eight o'clock last
evening shocking scene occurred in front OF
Guys Hotel, III Seventh street, above Chest
nut, which has created the greatest excitement
Ill that neiShborhood 1t appears, as far as
we couid learn the particulars, that young
man, named Isaac G.. Shurlock, residing at 6
Fop'ar street, and Mr.. Philip S. Clawges, OF
The hrm of Wilmer & ClawScs dry goods and
notion commission merchants, doing business
at No. l39 Market, above Third St, had an
alteration at this place. warm discussion

his coat pocket, and fired three times at Claw
geS, who staggered back few feet, eXclaim-
Ing, Ny God | am shot, and fell upon the
steps of Guys Hotel The wounded man was
at once picked up and conveyed into the drug
store at the corner, when it was foun |, on ex-
animation, that the balls or Slugs had entered
the lower part of his groin, inHictng wound
from which it is said by the physicians attend
ing him, that he cannot recover. He was al
80 shot III the breast and arm. He was sub
scqucntly removed to the Pennsylvania Hos
ptal.
Mr.. Shurlock was at once arrested by by
standcr, Mr.. John Eagan and without resist
ing was conveyed to the Mavor'S Office, where
he confessed to having committed the act lie
appeared perfectly cool and collected and told
the story of his wrongs in a manner which eli
cited the sympathy of all the officers present.
lie said 4" committed the act fired the
revolver. and have been most fouy wrong

drugged her with wine, and then seduced
her. She told me so. love my wife as love
myself"
The prisoner was searched, and had upon his
person a small amount Of money and daguer-
rCotype of his wife
Mir. Shurock was employed as an account
ant in the house of Wilmer & Clawgcs, and it
is alleged that the latter has been on terms of
intimacy with the wife of the former for some
time past.
From another statement made of the case
it appears that Shurlock walked deliberately
up to Clawges, and after telling him of his
wrongs, told him he should die and immedi
ately put his threat in execution by firing his
revolver at him.
Shurlock is young man about 2S years Of
age, and is said to be of excellent character
During his arrest, he did not make the least
resistance, and he seems not in the least to re.
gret the offence committed.
We understand further that another difficu
ty existed between the two parties, CIawges
having borrowed Il sum of money from Shur
lock and refusing to return it. The parties
about half an hour previous, in crossing with
two friends, were examining some of the ac
counts of the firm, aud one of the friends no

DANGER or WEARING IIoOrs N A UIGH
WINn.--During the wind on Saturday after
noon, and while the dust was circulating so
thick til t no one could sec more than the
length of an eyelash in front, lady, dressed
in the most elegant style, in coming round one
of the corners, was lifted off her feet by the
force of the wind acting on the great expanse
of surface which she presented to it. The wind
unfortunately did not set her down in the same
position in which she was before being taken
up, but turning her gently on one side, it laid
her endwise on the sidewalk, where she com

thus rolled over and over, several persons were
Knocked down and passed over by the lady and
the hoops, without ever knowing that anything
had bent them. Fortunately for the lady the
dust and the aStonishment of the people out
of doors permitted but few to witness this

200, 600 Of the best lands in Kansas, living up
on the Missouri river at the very entrance of
the territory. The sale is to be at Fort Lea
venworth, under the direction of government,
and is to be to the highest bidder for cash.
These lands have been appraised by Commits
sioners at from 81 % to $40 per acre. They
must be the first to be settled in the Territory,
and will probably sell at such prices as will en-,
able the purchasers to make a very handsome
profit upon them.
a Trust Company has been organized in
Boston, Of which Amos A. Lawrence, W. d.
Pickman and Il. B. Storer are Trustees, which
proposes to receive money for investment in
these lands. They will either sell shares at
800 each, or take money to be invested d
rcctly for the owners. Although the accounts
first received will be applied to the purchase
of these lands on the 18th, funds can be used
to equal advantage during the whole winter

CmLD BURIED ALIvE-SINGuIAR TESAcrTy
OF LIFE-On Wednesday morning, young
woman, about 8 years of age, boarding with
a widow in Wye's Court, gave birth to fe'
male child and without informing any one in
the house, it is alleged, buried it in pile of
ashes in the cellar, abont II o'clock the same

ed man that day to remove the ashes, and
about o'clock that afternoon, while engaged
in this work. found the child buried about a
foot beneath the surface.
1t was wrapped up in a skirt, and had a
stocking tied around its neck, on removing
which it was discovered that the child still
breathcd, though it had been under the ashes
for nearly three hours. 1t was taken in charge

TIE CURTAIN LIFTED.-A correspondent OF
the New Orleans Delta, thus foreshadows the
Democratic plan for the future:
1--WE have just passed, Or soon will, through
terrible crisis. There was danger, say what
you may The South wants now security for
the future, and she must have it, There is now
no excuse-we are in power. Extension OF
slavery is the testing crucble. The South de-
mands an equality in the Federal Senate =
hence, the first step is to admit Kansas as a
Slave State, an offset to California-this equ
brium never, hereafter, to be disturbed fol
every Free State, one Slave State (; the prin
ciples of the Nebraska Kansas bill, so far a:
they touch slavery or non-slavery, never to be
repealed"

CASE OF SoNNANBULIsM-A Pittsburg jour
nal gives the following account of a case of
somuambulism which occurred at the residence
Of gentleman near that city
Hearing footsteps upon the stairs about
midnight, and suspectiAg burglars might be
about the premises, the gentleman rose from
his bed and took down a double barreed gun,
with which in his hand he proceeded to the
door opening into the hall Reaching the
door, lie applied his ear to the key hole and
heard what he thought rustling Of garments
upon the stairs Hastily drawing chair to
the door, he stepped upon it and inserted the
Gun through the transon. Just then the thought
! occurred to him that it might be his daughter,
who sometime previously was addicted to walk
ing in her sleep. Passing out into the hall
with the gun still in his hand, to be used in
case circumstances warranted it, he found the
apartment entirely vacant, and, lighting a
a lamp, he then ascended the stairs Imagine
his surprise and terror on looking out of the
chamber windows to see among the branches
of tall tree which grew there, his daughter,
dressed in her night habilIments and seem
ingly utterly unconscious of her perilous posi-
tion. Without uttering a word or making a
sound calculated to frighten her he stepped
out of the window himself and, winding one
arm tightly about the waist of the sleeping
girl, he with great eXerton managed to regain
the hall with his precious burden. The sur
prise of the young lady when she awoke and
was informed Of her perlous adventure, can
be better imagined than described

KANsAs-Governor GEARY had, at the last

himself, by having the U. S. Marshal with

DIsGoRGING A LIzARD.-Last week, John
Mitchell of the town of Chemung was taken
with fit Of vomiting and finally disgorged
from his stomach lizard near nine inches
long He had drank several potations of
whiskey, together with three quarts of milk
that day, and it is supposed that the lizard
got drunk on milk punch-hence his getting so
high as to come out of his Judgments. The
lizard is supposed to have been swallowed
some four years since, as about that time Mr.
Mitchell inhaled something while watching at
deer lick" which has caused slight de-
bity of the stomach ever since Eimira Gas.
