Mr.. WTEkooP.--.. " learn, p saws the Read
ing Gazette, sc that Mrs. Col. Wynkoop has
been dangerously Ill since the sudden death
of her husband. Her naturally delicate con.
stitution has sgiven way under the terrible shock
she has experienced, and the constant and un-
divided attention Of the family in Puttsyille
Is required to sustain her. Ii appears that the
Colonel, at the time of the fatal accident, was
endeayoring to procure few pheasapts fer
his invalid wife, and as his hired man was
walking behind him, the trigger was caught by
a twig and the gun exploded" sr.s

FURTHER FROM KANsAs,--BATTLE AT FoRT
SooTT-FIvE HRo-SLAvERY MEN KIILED.--Sf.
Louis. Dec, 24.-A Kansas letter received by
the Democrat says that, on the evening Of the
18th inst, battle occurred at Fort Scott be-
tween the pro-slsvery and FREQ State men, in
which Eve of the former were killed, including
Blake Little, a member of the recent Lecomp-
ton Convention @ l{..
Several were wounded on both sides, an
twenty free State men were taken prlsone
and confined in the fort. The difficulties grew
out of Clark, said to be notorious as the mur-
derer Of Barber, two years since, going about
accompanied by a Sheriff's officer collecting
taxes from the tree State men, seizing proper
ty in default of the payment Of taxes, and ma
king prosecutions under the territorial rebel
lion. ot 4i t.4iiu
The Missourians are said to be assembled in
strong force along the border, and more fight
ing is apprehended. 3t ~ ai ,s.15ss
The territorial executive committee has is
sued call for the re-assembling of the dele
gate convention held at Lawrence on the 2lst
instant, to take place on the 23d, for the pur-
pose Of considering the best course to pursue
in consequence of the Legislature having fail
ed to submit the Topeka constitution along
with the Lecompton constitution to vote OF

PRDE.--Everybody who knows Maj. Jones,
is aware that he carries precious sight more
modesfy of peculiar sort under his hat than
money in his port monaie.
A short time since highwaynen undertook
to rob Major Jones. He met Jones in a piece
Of woods over in Jersey. He asked Jones fer
his pocket book. Jones refused to YIELD
Highwaymen then took Jones by the neck,
and undertook to sc choke him down. Jones
made fight and kept it up half an hour. At the
expiration of that time Jones caved, and the
highwaymen commenced riding his pockets
The contents were l9 cents.
f" Is that all you've got2"
"Every darned cent?
+" What made you fight so long 2"
" Didn't want to be exposed. Bad enough
to have only eighteen cents, but great deal
worse to have the world know it.''
The highsayinan was so pleased with Jones
pride that he made him present of a nip OF
" red eye, and a cracker to wash 1t down."

DIPPIso INTO THE GRAvY.-We were, not
long since, much amused by couple OF
Hoosier girls who came on board the steamer
--at the little town OF Mount Vernon, Ind
They had evidently never been a thousand
miles IRON home, and were making their first
trip on steamboat. The elder one was ex-
ceedingly talkative, and perfectly free and un-
concerned, without regard to the many eyes
that were scanning her moveme nts. The 9TH
er was of the opposite turn OF mind, inclln-
ing to bashfulness. At dinner our ladies'
were honored with seat at the head OF
the table, and the elder one, with her usual
independence, cut her bread into small pieces
and with her fork reached over and enrolled
each mouthful in the nice dressing on plate
of beef.steak before her. The passengers
preserved their gravity during the operation
oy dint of great effort. Perceiving that her
sister was not very forward in helping herself,
she turned round to her and exclaimed loud
enough to be heard by half Of the table
"Moil dip into the grayy--dad pays as much as
any of theml" This was followed by gen
s,,. fba xfat. I'D. * mn
girls arrived at their place of destination be-
fore supper and when they left the boat, all
hands gave three cheers for the girls of the
Hoosier State.

ENANoIPArIos.---It has been announced that
Holland has already provided for the eman-
cpation Of her colonies in the West In
dies. While the act is much behind that of
England, il is said to be much more just in
providing fair equivalent to the stakeholder
for his slaves. For healthy slaves a ratio OF
decentralization 10 fixed according to their
ages, differing in the different isisnds. ror
sick slaves reduced price will be paid, which
is to be fixed after the slave has been examin-
ed by two physicians, one appointed by gov
ernment and the other by the owner thereof.
No price is to be paid for runaway slaves, who
have been absent more than TIVE years. The
emancipated slaves will be placed under hu-
name regulations, providing for their religious
and educational improvement, and obliging
them to contribute for the formation of iund
destined to pay back to the State the expenses
of theii emancipation. Children of emanci-
pated parents, born after the proclamation of
this law, are tree, and not subject to the re-
strictions which their emancipated parents are
under; and they are to remain under the con-
troll of their parents to the age of twelve years.
The date for the emancipation of the slaves is
to be fixed by the home government.

AN EXECUTION IN DIA.--Horrltfe Scenes.---
An India correspondent of the London Times
gives the following graphic and horrible ac,.
count of public execution of eighteen insur-
gents at Ahmedahad, October 26;
Ten of them mounted to their places on the
drop; firing party of twelve moved up to
within twenty yards of the place where
stood, facing outwards, as the guns did, but
behind them, further back into the square,
The men who were to be shot were placed in
front, not more than twelve PAGES from the
muzzles of the muskets. They knelt down,
their eyes bandaged aud their hands tied.
Meanwhile five had been marched to the hye
fatal guns. They were bound by their arms to
the wheels, but their legs were tree, and the
end mantle only one whom could entirely
see from my place on the the tiank-ieaned his
back against the muzzle. fixed my eyes in
tently on that man. not fifty yards away, and
in moment the signal, was given. There was
roar, bank of white smoke, and jet and
shower of black fragments, sharp and clear,
which leaped and bounded inthe airi this, and
a fearful sound from the spectators, as II the
reality so far exceeded all previous fancy that
it was intolerable; then a dead stiffness.
l walked to the scattered and smoking
floor before the guns. | came first to an arm,
torn off above the elbow, the fist elenche d, the
bones protruding several inches, bare. Then

then black haired head and one arm still held
gether. This was the man L had watched.
Close by lay the lower half Of the body of the
next, torn quite in two, and long coils Of en-
trails twined on the ground. Then long
cloth in which one had been dressed, rolled
open like fioor-cloth and on fire. One man
lay in complete and shattered heap, all but
the arms; the legs were straddled wide apart
and the smashed body in the middle of them;
the spine exposed, the head lay close by too.
The last body was that OF native officer who
was the arch flend of the mutiny. He was a
short man with cruel face. His head had
been SIM SIM etlSanc9aa tlSan his face was half upturned,

sharp angle in this hollow of the back, off
and off, till it merged in one maugled heap.
turned to the three who had been shot.
One had been struck in the heart, and only
bowed slowly over on his face. The others
had been pigtoled afterwards through the head.
All, / think, however, had been badly hit, as
all were PROSTATE when ran forward to the
guns. And only nowhere was so much
more terribe--did look up to the ten white
figures slowly swinging and revolving over this
scene of blood. l hope they died quickly,
but the ropes were very short. ii1iA y
