commenced the celebration Of the seventh an.

has been suppressed in Germany for political
reasons, but which fourishesin this country, and

was in Pittsburg-thc year before IL was in Phil.

Lyons, Iowa, Sept. 8, 1857.
On Tuesday evening, in Fulton, man named
Michael Hopkins was stabbed while asleep in q
stable just east Of the Galena l. Chicago Union
Railroad depot and died about fifteen minutes
after; and another who was with him, by the
name Of Montgomery, was pounded over the
head with club SO badly, that he is not ex-
pected 70 live. The Coroner held an inquest
but could gain but very little information con-
corning the murder. IL seems that the two men
were at q house of ill-fame in the evening,
where fight occurred, and they two drove the
others out of doors, after whipping one or two
very badly. 1t is supposed that they were fol-
lowed to the stable and murdered while asleep,
as the one that was stabbed was stabbed twice
in the right breast, once in the lett side just
below the ribs, and once in the left breast just
below the coliar-bOne. Hopkins used to travel
with Barnum's Caravan, also with Yankee Rob-
jnson's Circus, and used to perform with the
cannon balls, but Of late has been employed as
raftsman on the Upper Mississippi. Montgom-
cry was deck hand on the steamer Ark, now
lying at the leyec. A man by the name OF Geo.
Britton was arrested, but nothing has proved
against him.
There we're three shops broken open here on
Friday night and about thirty dollars taken !;
also, on Saturday evening . man was knocked
down by one armed man named Carson and
robbed Of three hundred dollars. Carson was
arrested and sent TO Rock Island ;ail.
On Satureay night an affray occurred in this
place ct an Irish dance, in which one man was
badly stabbed, and several others severely
pounded.
The new brick block now being built for q
hotel. fell in with . crash, caused by one Of the
arches not being sufficiently strong to sustain

Wheat is sprouted pretty badly in this sec
ton Of the country, although not 80 bad as was
expected.
Corn looks well, and the farmers anticipate
large haryests if they do not have early frosts.
