MURDER AND SUIcIDE.-Two young per-
sons, Albert Wood and a girl named Shaw,
have been living at the house of VIM. Clark.
near Auburn, n. Y. for year past. A few
days since Wood entered the room where
Mrs. Clark and Miss Sha wwere sitting. lie
had pistol in his hand, and commenced load
ing it, lie tried ball and found it too small;
Miss Shaw volunteered to procure 'patch''
for it. She did so, The patch was not
large enough and she procured another, and
then the pistol was loaded
Wood then said, "What shall / shoot?'
Some one said, "Shoot into the wood-box."-
He replied, II won't do that" Mrs. Clark
exclaimed, "Don't fire in the house. If you
are going to shoot, go out of doors and do it,
At this moment Miss Shaw cried out, "If you
want to shoot, shoot me, and sheet me so that I
,oont kick more than oncei'
He turned towards her, deliberately, and
placed the muzzle of the pistol against her
breast and fired! The ball entered her body
Just below the heart, and she iell to the floor
with shrek.
Wood then Immediately shot himself and
fell dead. There is no explanation of this
double tragedy. but it is the presumption that
it was the result Of mutual determination
on the part of both the actors in it.

FRIDAY MORNING, :::::::::::::::::::.::::::APRIL 8


OF The appointment Of Robt. j. Walker
as Governor of Kansas is almost universally
approved, and confidence in the peace and
good order of the Territory seems to have
been restored by the event. The resolution
of the Topeka Convention recommending to
their adherents not to vote for members OF
the Constitutional Convention, it is suspected
was adopted with the hope of continuing or
re- opening the agitation Of the slavery ques-
ton. The agitators are aware that the adj
mission of Kansas as slave State, with any
appearance of unfairness would arouse, at the
North, feeling more passionate and alarming
than we have yet witnessed. This would
subserve these purposes, for many of the un-
principled leaders Of the party would prefer
to have Kansas come in as slave State, rath-
or than have the agitation Of the subject oil
slavery quietly and peacefully snbside. The
power and influence Of the selfish leaders de-
pend upon the height of the excitement up to
which they can goad the people. Let the free
State men in Kansas discharge their duty,
and vote to man, and if they are wronged OF
everborne by invasion, or fraud, the country
will vindiats them, and compel the admins
tration and Congress to set them right.

are unconscious of it, and do not know how
the grave deed could have been done, for we
seldom open the paper. If it is unjustly treat.

CALIFORNIA NEws-To Mr.. Vim. ". John
son of California, we are indebted for Caliior-
MIA papers. They contain little of interest
that has not been anticipated by the tele-
graphic reports. The mines were never so
productive before, and the papers are congrat-
ulating the citizens of California that the
great bulk of treasure is retained in the
State. The Newsletter gives an interesting
account OF Mr.. Thompson, the mountain ex-
press man." who throughout the past white,
has made regular trips over the mountains
wearing tho celebrated Norwegian snow
shoes, seven feet long. lie SAYS shat he often
traversed snow drifts, so feet deep. Not ar
individual has visited the Valley over any
other route, during the present winter Mr.
Thompson, however. has made regular trips
and has sometimes carried upon his broad
shoulders over the entire route load weigh
ing fifty pounds.
The weather throughout the State is de-
scribed as beautiful, and the crops are in 9
flonrish;ng condition. 1t is confidently ex
pected that the citizens will pay the State
debt.

OF The municipal election in st. Louis
takes place next Monday, the same day with
our own. There they have three active par
ties arrayed against each other. each with its
set Of candidates. The Evening News says:
Political meetings are the order of every
night; as soon as the gas is lighted, the city
is alive with beating drums, whistling fifs,
spouting speakers, and marching professions.
AS usual, the music is the best and only in
teresting feature Of the demonstration. On
Wednesday evening the Hon. J. j. Crittenden
addressed crowded meeting of the Ameri-
can party, at the Mercantile Library Hall.

Steele in the management of the Washington,

though he disclaims any intention to have

dispair and disappointment are plainly per-
ceptible in the appearance of their delegates at

A LARGE DAY's BUSINESS. On Monday
last, upwards of twenty-four large steamers
arrived at the levee in st. Louis, bringing, 1t
is said larger amount of freight than ever be-
fore reached the city in one day. The leveo
was so crowded that several boats could lind
no space to land their cargoes. Freight was
piled in tiers upon tiers from the waters edge
to the curbstone Of the sidewalk; and dray-
men, clerks and boatmen were compelled to
suspend new receipts till the piles OF previous
ones had been removed.

K o. The opening Of the Ohio and Mississippi
Road in May will be simultaneous with the
completion of the Marietta and Cincinnati
Road. The two roads will make direct line
about six hundred miles in length, nearly due
East and West. In a short time the Marietta
Road will be extended to point opposite the
terminus Of the Baltimore and Ohio Road
making continuous and almost o straight
line Of railway from Baltimore to st. Louis
The completion of the o. & NJ. Road and the

public demonstration.

Line Railroad, it was stated by Mr. Carpen-
ter, that the E. & C. Road lad been made
liable for claim of twenty five thousand dol
lars for commissions for the sale of the city

those who know the facts, that the amount
sued for, was only twenty-five hundred do!-
lars. Whether the error was one of our
types, or Of the author, we do not know -
Justice and fairness require that the mis-.
statement should be corrected.

found out they had been egregiously hoaxed,
and thereupon marched back again.

NEGRO SUFFRAGE.--The Legislature of
New York have passed joint resolution for
the amendment Of the Constitution of the
State, giving the blacks the same political
rights of Suffrage as the whites. 1t will have
to be re enacted by another Legislature. and
adopted by the people to renee the amend
ment valid, The movement is said to be
nothing but a piece of political CANNON, on
the part Of the Republicans to catch the votes
of the ultra Abolitionists. 1t was passed
without any idea that it will be ultimately
adopted as part of the Constitution of the
State.

sued Phillip r. Bohlen for breach of mar
rage contract, in falling to marry Mrs. Hell
bing, when she was Miss Agnes Handwerker,
and the jury has given the injured parties
81 $50 damages! The idea Of Helbing suing
Bohlen because he did not marry his wife is
certainly the richest thing Of this fast age.

CT There is everywhere in this vicinity
great complaints among farmers, of the DIFF
fculty in procuring laborers at any reason
able rate of wages compared with former
prices paid farm hands. We observe the same
difficulty exists in other districts of the free
States. And like demand at the South is
indicated by the exorbitant price OF slaves
These facts prove the rapid increase of the
agricultural interest aud its prosperity. In
all the States, agriculture has been stimulated
by the enhanced price of all the great staples,
while laborers have been drawn from the
farms by the rise in wages in all the nechan-
ical employments-on steamers-in the in
dustrial employments of cities-by emigra-
ton to the new territories, and by the labor
on numerous lines of railroads under con-
structicn. To bring back their old hands to
their favorite pursuits in the field. farmers
will be compelled to pay largely increased
prices for work, and share literally with the
laborers the increased prices they are getting
for their products. Their present difficulties
will hasten the introduction Of labor saving
machines, but the only immediate remedy is
An increase of wages.
