The Greensbure Abortion Case.

The Greensburg Argus devotes nearly a
column to a review OF this important case,
which notwithstanding the statement of the
Democrat to the contrary, appears to have
created the most Intense excitement through
out Westmoreland county. Miss Herwig, the
Argus says. Is the granddaughter, on the

yercd clergyman, who ,officiated for many years
in one of the churches of this place Greens

She is respectfully connected on the fathers

with but little worldly resources, and nothing
to protect her but her innocence, her orphan
age. her youth, her dependent situation, and
the honor of those among whom she was cal-
led to associate, She supported herself prin-
cipally by her needle" Speaking Of her
ing language: "As regards Miss Herwig, we
have no doubt but that she is enticry innocent

The Funeral of a French Poet

~ Ihe Iuneral OF beranger, the national
poet of France, was attended by some two
hundred thousand persons, who gathered on
the Boulevards, in the vicinity of his house,
but were not allowed to join the procession.
Indeed it WIS apprehended by the Govern
ment, that the occasion might be seized upon
for popular outbreak. Thus, only officials.
and persons who had received cards of invita-
ton, were present at the religious ceremonies.
which took place in the church of st. Eliza
beth du Temple, and formed part Of the cor
tege to Pcre la Chaise. A letter from Paris
gives the following account of the military
preparations Of the funeral =
'' About fifteen thousand soldiers were call
ed out on Friday morning, armed with ball
cartridge, and distributed over the route. or
near it, over which the procession would have
to pass; two thousand were on the Boule-
ward in the neighborhood of the Chateu d'Eau
-four thousand at the cemetery of Pere la
Chaise, eight thousand at the place de la Bas-
tile, and the rest conducting the funeral cor
tage, holding the cordons around the neigh
borhood OF the rue VeDdome, or distributed
along the streets conducting to the cemetery.

More Lynching--Two Men Hanged in Jones
Gnuntu


From Mr.. Jackson. a resident of Cascade.
in this county, we learn the particulars Of
some recent acts of the Vigilance Committees
of the counties of Jones, Jackson and Line.
Between Monticello and Anamosa, there re-
sided Doctor Long and his brother, who
had fallen under the suspicious Of the COM
munity as persons engaged in horse-thiering
operations.
On Friday night the Vigilance Committee
arrived at Longs, and captured the brother
and another person, charged with similar of
fences, and hanged them. DIR Long was in
formed of the approach of his enemies in
time to make his escape, and fed toward Du-
buque In passing through Cascade, he in
| formed confederate named Parrot, a resi-
dent of that place, of his danger; guard
was raised, and the citizens resolved that the
/ lynchers should rot effect their purposes.
| On Saturday night. two strangers rode into
| Cascade from the south. reconnoitered the

/ to be scouts of the advancing army of Regu

SrRrcnNIxE-The source Of strychnine.
one Of the most powerful poisons. is not gen.
orally known Tn the Island of Ceylon, and
in several districts in India the tree grows
from whose seed the poison is prepared The
tree is of moderate size, with crooked stem
and thick shining leaves. In the fruit sea-
son it is readily recognized by its orange COL
ored berries about as large as golden pippins
The rind is hard. smooth, and covers white,
soft pulp, on which many kinds of birds feed i,
and within which are fat round seeds, less
than an inch in diameter The seeds are ash
grey in color. and are covered with silky hairs.
This tree is the strychniue nmr ,on,ico. and
the seed is the poison nut. The Hindoos
have long used the nut as mediciue. and its
natures and properties were understood by
their doctors long before its existence ever
was known to the western nations. The ma
tives of India often take it for many months
continuously. much as opium-catcrs use opium

PEELED to bein constant state Of watchfulness
Indeed, there arc many indications Of an ap-
preaching outbreak. Louis Napoleon himself
has evidently become alarmed ]; and hence,
instead of appearing in public as formerly
and without attendants. he naturally enough
adopts every possible precaution against assas-
sination. Powerful and despotic as he is, his
position is one of imminent peril, and it is
therefore, by no means enviable.

Senator Rusk.

The telegraph announced, few DAYS ago.
that Senator Rusk. of Texas, had committed
suicide at his home, in that State, on the
29th ult., by shooting himself through the
head with rife. No special cause was as
signed for the deed, but it is supposed that
the mind of Senator Rusk has been much dis
turbed lately in consequence of some alleged
connection Of his brother-in-law with forger-
les on the Land Department. The matter, it
is surmised, preyed upon to such an extent as
to induce this terrible result. Senator Rusk
maintained good position in the digni6ed
body of which he was member. and his
death will be generally regretted.
The Penniylranien bears this tribute to
his worth:
Gen. Ruak is identified with the history
of the State le represented. When Texas
was warning for her independence, his sword
| aided her battles, and when it was achieved
his counsel was called into rcqusition, and
he was member of President Houston's first
cabinet He was gifted man, courageous,
| eloquent; Of unimpeschablc integrity, and
possessed Of great business capacity and hab-
| its. AS Democrat, he stood foremost among
the wisest and most steadfast, and the party
to which he owed fidelity regarded him as
| one upon whom its future honors might be
most worthily bestowed. known as he was
over the entire Union for his comprehensive
| grasp Of intellect and trauscendant stateman.
ship, his death will be a natiopal loss, but tc
those who were numbered among his persona
friends and claimed admittance to his conf
dence and his social unbending from sternel
duties, tne deprivation will be irreparable."
