The Homicide in Black Hole.

THE annexed account of the recent IA
tai quarrel in Lycoming county, was sent
to the Chronicle by friend in the vicinity,
but came too late for last week
Quite sad occurrence took place near
the Railroad Bridge below Muncy Dam
on Saturday evening, Nov. Z. A man by
tho name of William Bird had two sons,
nearly grown up, named George and Isaac.
Isaac and his father lived together by
themselves. George could not agree with
his father, but worked for a man by the
name of Samuel Hill, near neighbor. On
Saturday evening, Hill, accompanied by
George, went to Birds. Hill asked Bird
who was to get Georges earnings? Bird
claimed the earnings, amounting to two
dollars. Hill then refused to pay the old
man, high words followed, when Hill
choked Bird for few moments. After
letting go of Bird, he attempted to choke
Bird second time during this time, Bird
seized butcher knife and stabbed Hill in
the heart, killing him instantly. Hill
was under the influence of liquor at the
time. He leaves a wife aud three child
rem. Bird went to Esq. Sedam's immedi-
ately, gave himself up, and was lodged in
Jail at Williamsport on Sunday morning.
Bird had the reputation Of being a quiet
and harmless man, previous to this occur
renee. Il.

Important from Kansas!

The great fraud by which an alien and
odious government is sought to be perma-
nently imposed on the People Of Kansas,
approaches its finale. The bogus Consti-
tutional Convention closed its la5ors on
Saturday, the 7th inst, having completed
its State Constitution and decided not to
submit to tie People. There is prc'ense
of submitting the question of Slavery or
No Slavery by itself; but the Slavery
clause so submitted may be rejected by an
Overwhelming vote; yet Slavery will con-
tinue to exist in Kansas if this Constitu-
tion is her supreme law. No provision Is
made in it for abolishing Or expclling sla-
very, and the bare rejection of the Com
mittce's article would not effect such ex-
pulsion. On the contrary, by expressly
and fully con.frmiAg and perpetuatiay the
claws" Of the bogus Legislature, the Con-
vention has provided for the perpetuation
of Slavery at all events. The pretense of
submission is fraud, and the refusal to
submit the Constitution itself is an out
roye fitly perfecting the frauds whereof
Kansas has been for three years the VIC
tim. .......r
But the Bogus Convention did not stop
here. 1t actually constituted a Provisional
Government for Kansas, eierecf its Presi-
dent, y. S. Surveyor. General John Cal'
houn, is made Gouernor. This bold move
is intended to supersede Gov. Walker and
Secretary Stanton on tie One hand, and
the ne,o Territorial Legislature on the 9TH
er Thus the victory just won by the
Free State men is to be nullifed and the
Cover once more snatched from their
hands by usurpation, and vested in the
master spirits of Border Rufianism. The
calculation evidently is to rush this Con.
stitution through our new Democratic
Congress forthwith, and thus turn Mr..
Parrott out of his seat as Delegate, and
have State Election under the auspices
of the new Provisional Government, which
will provide the judges, superiutend the
polls, and count the votes. In that Ok
ford, Kickapoo. and M'Ghee County may
be relied on to outdo all their past achie-
vements, and to have admiring competi.
tors all along the Missouri line.
Kansas never seemed in greater peril
than now, yet we do not doubt her ulti-
mate triumph.-NeW York Tribune.

CHAPTER IT.

For a moment only were they buried
under the waters, and the rushing mass
swept out towards the low shore, bearing
along the two who were moment before
so happy, unconscious of danger. Eldrige
rose to the surface half strangled, and sha-
king the water from his locks, looked round
for Grace. He saw her rise and disap
pear near him, and with the strength of
despair spurned the waves beneath him to
rescue her. She rose again, he grasped
her long hair in his hand and momenl
afterwards stood by her apparently lifeless
body on the meadow by the shore He
chafed her cold hands as he halloed for
aid, and in a few moments neighbor as
sisted him in bearing her to the house.
To the joy Of all they at length succeeded
In restoring consciousness to the poor girl,
and Eldrige never left her slde until he
was assured of her safety.
The exertion and the severe cold which
followed this event, left Eldrige in dread
rul state of health. He slowly declined
and could enjoy himself only when ramb-
ling over the premises with Grace. Thus
time passed on. We shall not tell the Pc
riod of their betrothal, for we are not wri-
ting this to please sentimental lovers; but
to let the example of our hero influence
others in the effort to do good
In November the whole country was
startled by new party in their midst
The portion of the country where Eldrige
resided had not, like others, been redeemed
from the influence of the rum god, and the
announcement that a temperance candi-
date was in the field, alarmed the good peo-
pie there. Indeed it turned out that the
prospects of the party were dark, and the
champion Of prohibition came over, rather
than be defeated, to the great chagrin of
his trends, leaving them hopeless. About
this time worthy man published an arti-
Gle Oh the subject in the county paper
" Where he asked are the champions of
this cause I? Where are the patriots, phil
anthropists willing to labor in its behalf?
Can mono be found to bear the banner of
the cold water army, to lead as to victory !?
Where are our young men Will none
of them step upon the frowning ramparts
of the rum god, and tear down the dark
banner? Will none to the rescue 2"
The good minister read this appeal in
the presence of Eldrige, whose eye burnt
with livid light, and his countenance
frightened as he saiG to Grace,
This is noble workY'
Three days after this, there was an i'm
mense concourse to hear the candidates in
the very midst of stronghold of Temper

Beaufort Harbor.

A letter is published in the Patriot and
Flag, from Gov. Morehead, dated the 9th
inst. in which he thus speaks of Beaufort
Harbor
Con Monday last the barque Damon,
Captain Bartlett, of Bangor Maine, enter
ed the Port of Beaufort with cargo of
rails for the Atlantic Rail Road, of 476
tons. She passed the bar, and entered
the port at dead low water
On Friday, the "T & J" barque, Cap
tain j. D. Coffin, of Halifax, Nova Scotia,
entered the same port in low tide, with
$50 tons rails and drawing over 15 feet of
water. They are lying in New Port
Channel, near each other, in front of the
terminus of the Rail Road where the wharf
is TO be built, and about 800 feet from
the shore, and in water some 20 or 80 feet
deep. They might have brought much
larger cargoes if the vessels had been larg-
| er.
| [ wish all North Carolina could have
seen both these magnificent barques enter
ing the port under cloud of canvass, all
sails set, Gas | saw the 7 & ]. and see
,hem round to and cast anchor within a
few feet of the shore, where they now ride
SO quietly on the bosom of this safe land
locked harbor, that every outline is mir
rored from its placid surface.
| Twelve months more will show the wis
dom of driving the Atlantic Road forward
to completion, and the world will find out
that North Carolina has one of the best
and safest ports on the Atlantic coast"

tremuious voice rang out through the
throng,

he was no candidate for Office. He ex-
posed the weakness of the candidates, sus-
tanned the position of the temperance par
ty, and then appealed to his hearers.
: Yes, said the young orator, +" this is a
holy cause. Widows and orphans look to
US for help, and if it were possible the bones
OF drunkards would turn in their graves to
haunt the advocates of intemperance.-

with excitement.

SAID an old man, whose white locks waved
about his shoulders and high brow, as he
leaned on his staff, intent upon the Young
speakers every tone.

A storm of cheers went up from the old
woods that drowned all else. " Hurra,

Eagle eyed y and cheer after cheer went
up as the two champions met and vowed to
do battle together.
In little while the whole country was
astlr. A new hero had arisen-the TEN
perance candidate was an honored old man.
Three weeks remained until the close of
the canvass, and throngs hung upon his
steps. He put in motion a mighty current
which was to sweep down all opposition
The last day came. The court house
was crowded to ovclhowing. While the
two candidates spoke, the g Eagle Eyed
sat pale and motionless as a statue, His
face was flushed by two burning spots,
srnbisals of bhes dessfoyer's presence, and
every eye was fixed on hinr rather than
the speaker. At length he arose-his
tremulous voice low but clear at first,
echoed and swelling up, echoed still louder
through the house. He painted the woes
OF lntemperance until every eye was bathed
ID tears. He portrayed the wretched crew,
driven on by demons, about to make the
final plunge. His audience could see the
trembling victims-hear the roaring ele-
ments-catch the lurid glare of eternal
burnings-" Citizens" he cried, I" to the
rescue p The audience sprang to their
feet. The orator sank exhausted and
bleeding by his seat.
Two days afterwards, Grace whispered
IN his ear, "we have triumphed p
: "Thank God, [ die contented," and a
faint smile lighted up his countenance.-

In order to facilitate this mighty object,
there should bea uniformity in TEXT Books
each Public School should use the same
DOCKS, from one end of the State to the
other, nor should others be used by any
teachers, except under permission from the
proper authority The advantages both to
teacher and pupils from such a course,
would be great and apparent; while the
evils under the present arran gements are
manifold, and can only be remedied by the
introduction of uniform series of text
books. The parent is often compelled to
purchase new set of books, as often as
they have new teacher, who probably has
some peculiar affinity with some publishing
house, or prediction for certain books. /
