o. EIihu Burritt, the distinguished self
taught scholar, is lecturing upon the aboli-
ton Of slavery, and recommends the appro-
priation of the proceeds Of the public lands to
compensate the Shareholders for their sacri-
fees. The emancipation of the slaves is not
the difficult part Of the question; slavehod
ers will set their servants free fast enough, il
You will devise some rational, humane way
to dispose Of them after they are free. The
all important question is, what to do with
them?

The MURDER OF DIR. CLEvELAND.-The
Lafayette Courier gives the following particu-
lars of the murder, derived from brother of
the deceased:
1t appears that the man who committed the
murder, VIM. Sharpe, had been employed by
Dr. Cleveland. to assist in driving a lot Of stock
from Western Texas to Western Missouri,
and after arriving in Missouri, to- take charge
of the training of two horses, for which ser
vice he was to receive one as a compensation.
The doctor then came on to this city La
Eayette l. and remained about two months
Some three weeks since he started for hide
pendence Mo-, to close up some unfinished
business. After getting through with it, he
returned 10 st. Louis, accompanied by this
young man, Sharpe, who was out of money,
and had his fare paid by DR.. c. They stop
ped at the Virginia Hotel, St. Louis. Sharpe
called for a room and said the Doctor would
room with him. which he consented to do.
! They remained from Saturday night to Sun
| day noon when the Doctor paid his bill at the
Office preparatory to starting for home in the
cars. Sharpe asked him for some money, but
he declined giving HIM any, alleging that he
had none, but would raise some on the drafts
ne had. After paying his bill he started fol
his room, followed by Sharpe, which was the
last seen Of him alive. In about half an hou,
a traveller, in passing through the hail. dis
J covered his head lying against the door sill
! and at once gave notice to the people in th(
| Hotel. When the door was opened, the Doc
tor was lying on his back, with the knife OF
his breast, and his hand stained with blood.
Sharpe had gone out through the sittin;
room, leaving his saddle bags, overcoat, &c, q
the office, and was not seen afterwards unit
be was arrested by he chief of police at ST
Charles, Mo. lie is a small spare made man

St. Louis. He confessed having COMMITTEES
the deed, but says it was done in self defense
which is highly improbable, as the persons il
the adjoining room did not hear any noise
more than the falling Of chair would make

the knife on his breast, and stained the han,
with blood, to create the impression that tn

A MARVELLOUS EsCAPE,-The Lafayette
Courier relates that one of the employees on
the Lafayette and indianapolis Railroad fell
from the platform between the cars while they
were running at a speed Of Is to 20 miles an
hour and as he struck the ground, sprung
from the road between the fore and hind
wheels of one Of the long passenger cars and
escaped unhurt He was not missed until the
train had proceeded some ten miles, and on
returning in the afternoon, he was at the
nearest station waiting patiently for the train
1t must have required great GOODNESS, quick
perception, and almost superhuman strength
Of body to accomplish the feat.

From CALIFORNIA.-We are indebted to
VIM. Nicely johnson, our former townsman,
for summary of the latest California news in
advance Of the papers. The general news has
been anticipated by telegraph. The difficulty
between Doctor Scott and his church has been
amicably adjusted and the popular divine will
continue his labors in San Francisco. The
commerce between Australia and California is
increasing. In boring an artes.an well on Pu-
get Sound in Washington territory reservoir
of gas was struck that issued from the bore
in quantities to light the small town. The
flow Of the Gas rises falls with the changes
in the tide. The stuPendous enterprises Of
Constructing the Columbia and Stanisaus
Ditch, flty-fivc miles, with a ncver-lailing
supply of water for five hundred tom streams,
is just completed. The ditch is so wide, that
Il boat, with ten persons is easily nayigated
upon its surface. The ditch is the work OF
one hundr9dmen, who, in cutting tunnel on
the works, came across the jaw bone of an al
ligator, imbcdded at 4 depth Of three hundred
and fifty feet.
R. Il. Sinton, Esq, Of the firm Of Selover,
Sinton 81 Co, of Sacramento was married at
Sacramento, on the 9th of December, to Miss
Lizzie Zabriskie, youngest daughter of Col.
IabrisLie, Of that city. Youth, beauty, intel
lgcnce, accomplishments and wealth, are thus
united, to give promise of future happiness
The young lady is sister to the wife of Gov.
johnson. One vessel took 10000 lbs. of
whale bone from San Francisco for New York,
shipped on speculation to meet the demand
for ladies', hoops The fashion of hopping has
not been adopted in California, the papers say,
because the alarming prevalence of HoopiRg-
cough suggested some sanitary precautions"
The competition between the Panama and
Y caragua routes has reduced the fares on both
routes to $3.50 in first cabin--S1OO in second
cabin. Over a million Of dollars were being
expended in Sacramento city, in the erection
Of large fire proof stores and warehouses.

4 STARTLING OccUnRENCE.-One morning
last week Mr.. Roselu}, an eminent lawyer
in New Orleans, was sitting in his Office alone.
DR.. Harris, a well known citizen, came in and
closing the door, drew bowie knife. and
rushed franticly at the unsuspecting counsel
lor, who closed with his assailant, and death
struggle cnsued-fortunately the noise Of the
contest brought help from an adjoining room
and the assailant was disarmed and Mr..
Rosclius saved from serious damage. The
Doctor was carried before magistrate and
bound over for an assault with intent to kill.
He was bailed by his friends and taken home
in state Of great nervous excitement, and
left in his apartments. Shortly afterwards he
was discovered in violent commissions, and a
bottle of strichnyne was found upon the Ucd
out Of which he had taken a dose, which
caused almost immediate death. AS he had
no cause of enmity against MIR. RoseIius the
attack was supposed to be the o5jectlcss rage
Of mailman, which his subsequent furious
conduct and suicide confirmed.

IMPotTANT TRIAL.-The trial Of Tucker
man at Boston for alleged frauds on the East
ern Railway Company is exciting great deal
of interest, belonging as it does to q class Of
frauds quite numerous on both sides Of the
Atlantic. This Tuckcrman had several years
ago obtained the responsible and confidential
position OF Treasurer Of the Eastern Railroad
From the moment almost Of his entering into
office, he commenced a system Of depredatioas
upon the Company by appropriating money
borrowed on its notes to his own use. These
icmbezZements running on and artfully cover
ed up for several years, had, before he was de-
tected, reached the heavy sum OF $175,000 -
The COmpany's Directors took what little
property Tuckerman had, and in consideration
Of his services in helping them to unraye as
he alone was able the eXten5 and precise
nature Of his frauds, neglected to take any
steps toward a criminal prosecution. Some
| Of the stockholders however smarting under
their losses, took the matter in hand, and
caused indictments to be found. Tuckcrman
| is now being tried on one Of these indictments
and it appears that the law Of Massachusetts
! like the law Of Indiana does not hold persons
criminally responsible for mere breach oil
trust The prosecution, however, insist that
| if Tuckerman had originally taken this mon
| ely for the use Of the Eastern Railroad Com
paHy, had placed in with that Company
funds, and had afterward drawn it out and ao-
Ipropriated it TO his own use, that would not
be larceny, but a breach Of trust But the
money was taken without being placed upon
the books of the Company, for the purpose c!
ehccting his escape TO Europe. As the main
question O.. larceny or not is thus made to
turn upon a pretty subtle distinction, so in
the progress of the trial numerous other nice
points of law seem likely to arise. Rufus
Choate appears as the senior counsel for Tuck
erman and though Mr. Choate has endeayored
to contine the prosecution to the one indict-
ment, it seems likely that the whole history
Of the case will come before the Jury
