Fremont's plurality 16,623.

H Two old Dutch neighbors in
Pennsylvania were proverbially steady,
stupid and honest, and they had carried
on their transaction with their neighbors
and each other for years, on the plan of
ready pay in cash or barter. But at last
hard times came, and they were obiig"d
to resort TO keeping accounts. One day
they met for settlement, and after very
hard labor and arguing it was apparent
that Hans owed Yawcob twenty dollars.
swell, Yawcob how masht we settle
him now! Use got no monish." 4
Yaww, yaw never mind dat, we
can settle him mid no,ish. "Dat is no,
right" said Yawcob, "you owes me de
monish +; you write me the notsh, | sign

i. aud produced the following:

Yawcob twenty dollars for settle Up wher
] hash no monish to pay him.

Then arose an unforeseen difficulty
which of The two ought to keep the note
Itwas finally decided that Hans ought t
keep it, for how else would he know hoy
much to pay Yawcob. In duetime, wheI
Hans, the debtor, got the money, b
paid up, and this raised another puazlin
question. and ended in the conclusion tl,f
Yawcob must take the note in his kee!
ing so that he would know that Hal
paid the money.

ing, and the bullion in the bank Of England has
increased over 100000.
The whole subscription to the Atlantic Tele-

Many Of our readers well remember the sud-
den disappearance from the neighborhood of
Pecatouica, in July 1852, of 4 well known ped
lar named Looks, of the subsequent discovery
of a small portion of the body in the stream at
that place, indicating beyond doubt that he had
been murdered, Of the arrest of one Brannon a
suspicious character in these parts, for the crime
and his trial and acquittal, in November Of S53
The evidence on the trial bore hard against
Brannon, but being entirely circumstantial il
was not sufficient to convict him. and he was
acquitted and very shortly after left this coun-
try, leaving behind him very strong conviction
in the minds Of our people that a william had
escaped the penalty Of the law which he de-
served. We understand that this conviction
has been Aerifed in the reception of an Oregon
Territory paper by citizen of our county Civ
ing an account of the trial. conviction and exc
cution for a murder committed by Braunun, and
containing also his confession and lis various
crimes. We have not seen the paper we speak
of though we have endeavored to obtain it, but
we are informed that the confession admits that
he was the perpetrator of the murder of Looks
IN Peeetonica, and that it was the fourth crime
of the kind he had committed. If such be the
facts of his confession, it shows him to have
been n most desperate william, aud our people
will be glad that the justice he richly deserv-
ed has at length been meted out to him.-R0ck-
