Another Murder.

All the murders that are committed in
this region of country do not occur in
this county. The murder, recently, of a
Mr. Moore, in Marshall Co., Va, was first
published in Wheeling paper as having
occurred in this county. We have had
enough to answer for in the last few years
without having to bear the sins of our
neighbors. aiJ E s
) In the Wheeling papers of the 23rd
we notice that young German by the
name of Thomas P6sster, of that city, was
murdered on the 2lst INST, in Marshall
County.
The Argus says: a59
"The deceased had gone on a hunting
excursion with his friend Aug. Wagner,
and after passing tavern kept by man
named Buzert, came upon a huckster's
wagon at the roadside. when Wagner
picked up a horse or blanket which
was upon the ground and placed it upon
one of the animals, and the two passed
along the road about one fourth of mile
until they were accosted by a farmer who
insisted upon their return to the wagon.
Pfester and Wagener urged that they
had done nothing beyond a friendly act,
in replacing the blanket and disclaimed
any interference with the wagon or its con-
tents, and insisted upon q meeting with
the owner, who presently came up, and q
short dispute oled to blows in which the
farmer struck Piester upon the right side
of his head with club, and the other
party advancing upon Wagener, his re-
sistance turned the scale of power. The
entire party then returned to the tavern
where Pfester's wound was dressed -
Wagener after repeated solicitation was
induced to leave after an assurance that
Pfester would be taken to the house of d
brother -ln-law, some three miles hey on d.
It is supposed. that after Wagner left, the
parties who had followed them to the tav-
ern had again pitched upon Thomas, who
was finally removed to the residence of his
brother-in-law, where he died yesterday.
The murderers, Treehouse and Nulty
have been arrested and taken to Grave

Abbott Representative from Maine, led
of, denouncing the measure as unnecessary
and dangerous. His style of speaking
was slow and tiresome. Letcher, one of
the best debaters in the House, followed
in reply. He sustained the measure, and
took issue with Banks, that the bill was
not, in fact, an encouragement Of paper
money. The skirmishing which followed
between these two champions attracted
unusual attention. For once Banks ap-
peared warmed up.." and spekeNithunur

Decision in the Foreman Case.

ssOSSAoiVH ia tut u va CiAuA OUOOs l.
We have been permitted by Justice
Randolph to see his decision in the Fore
man case. We present a copy below.
Mr.. FOREMAN: You stand charged with
the highest crime known to our laws
murder in the first degree. You are char
ged with the murder of Isaphene Allen.
The body of the, offence is established be-
yond the possibility Of doubt. She was
murdered. 1t has been my painful duty
10 inquire as to your guilt, or Innocence,
aud say whether you shall be dischar-
ged, or adrnitted to bail, or committed to
await your trial, 10y. the proper tribu-
nal. - 1T. - : f,s....f5ks .1s5.
The evidence in the case shows, that
heretofore you have sustained q good
moral character. This has its due weight
upon my mind, but this is not concluslya
of the guilt or innocence of any person.
True, it weighs in favor of the aecu-
sed. . .4.ss,t b,
From the evidence it seems to me that
I cannot nationally be satisfied that you
are innocent. The circumstances proved
against you are positively suspicious,
and such as render your guilt probable.
It therefore becomes my duty, in default
of bail, to commit you to the Jail of the
County to await your trial." s.i.
The bond was fixed at $4,000, and Mr.,
Foreman satisfying it. he was recognized
to appear at the next term of the court
of Common Pleas. a3.'3 sHe

HERMIT CRAB.-One of these singular specimens
picked up in a tomato field near Camden, on Monday
Afternoon One of the characteristics of the hermit
crab is that it will encase itself into any convenient
covering, and in this instance it has adopted for
home and protection an Achatina shell, which is no
where found along the coast above the Mexican
waters. The presumption is, that the little animal
was lifted from its native element and carried by the
hurricane of Monday last, distance Of thousand
miles, and deposited where it was found.
