NEGRO Wr.-Judge Burke, Of South
Carolina, rode on horseback from circuit,
to circuit, accompanied by servant, who
was directed to keep close behind him,
while he meditated as pleased himself by
the way. Jogging along in this way, on
one occasion, the servant pressed up too near
to the horse which he rode, and which hap
pened to be an illnatured brute, and the
consequence was that the horse kicked the
negro on the leg, who, observing that it had
not interrupted his masters study, sprang
off his horse, and picking up stone threw
it at the horse, which it unluckily missed
and took effect between the Judges shoul-
ders. The instant the negro saw what had
been done, he fell in the road with his
hands clasped around his leg, and crying
out in apparent agony as soon as the Judge
could straitsn himself, he turned around
and said to the PROSTATE negro, "StepheI
child, what ails your "Lord, master,
was the reply, "your horse just now kicked
me on the leg and almost broke it. "Well
child" said the Judge, che just now kicked
me between the shoulders, and almost broke
my back too"

Tne news from Europe.

The French elections resulted in a com.
plete Government triumph. The election
was little better than farce. Universal
suffrage in France exists only in name, as
the Emperor takes good care that his Low
ing subjects shall send out few enemies to
his Legislature. In the third district Of
Paris, Cavaignc, formerly chief of the Re
public and the opponent Of Napoleon in
tie contest for the Presidency was chosen
though on account of the insufficiency Of
his majority, he must go through with an
other election. N. Cannot, another oppo-
nent of the Emperor, has been returned
from the fifth district.
In England, the parliamentary event is
the passage of the "Divorce Bill" BY the
House of Lords. Upon the passage of the
bill the Bishop of Oxford submitted pro-
lest, and the day before its passage, cler-
ical Indignation meeting against the meas
ure was held at Taunton. Archdeacon
Dennison presided. He believed no meas
ure of worse character had ever been pre-
sented. The inviolabihty of marriage had
received the sanction of Christ; but the bill
gave no less than four grounds on which
man and wife might be divorced. The
Archdeacon called on the Churrh of Eng
land to oppose the bill. The Church ap-
pears to have been powerless, for an amend
ment moved by Lord Nelson and supper
ted by the Bishop of Oxford, providing
that the re-marriage of divorced persons
should be only civil marriage, and that
the clergy should not be compelled to SOL
emnize such marriage, was defeated by a
majority of %. A similar amendment
moved by the Bishop of Exeter was also
lost.
1t is thought that the British Military
Expedition 10 China will be too late in the
season to force their way to Pekin. The
monsoons render the approach hazardous,
and blow the waters off the coast leaving
the bays and inlets too shallow for fall OPP
erations. They can, and probably will,
take Canton. The hosts of Cinnamon, most
ly armed with mere spears, will be but
chaff before European troops and arms.

ANOTHER AERoNAuT Losr.-Our readers
will remember that year or so ago an as
cention was made from Milan, Erie county,
and that the balloon passed out of sight in
a northeasterly direction. Neither balloon
or unfortunate aeronaut have since been
heard from. Both were probably lost in
Lake Erie.
M. GODDARD, an experienced aeronaut, as
cended from Philadelphia on the 4th. To
wards night he descended near Wilmington,
left his assistant, and, with one passenger
Immediately re-ascended, since which time
nothing has been seen or heard from him.

Po1soN PoRK.-A distiller in Kentucky
publishes letter in the Ohio Farmer, in
which he says he has discovered an effective
remedy for the cholera, which has been
prevailing SO extensively at the Vest
His remedy is, as soon as he finds the hog
beginning to get sick, or to die, to mix a
quantity of arsnic with their food, and that
invariably makes them healthy again, the
powerful mineral poison of the arsenic, over
coming the vegetable poison of the still slop.
If his statement is correct, what must be
the character of the pork of the arsenic and
strychnine fed hogs?-Ci Gaz.

Stocks and the Seneca County
Bank.

The money article of the N. Y. Even.
ing Post of Friday says:
We learn t at the late State Treasurer
of Ohio, Mr.. Gibson, is in town. The pre-
sent State Auditor is also here looking af-
ter the interests of the State. The amonnt
borrowed on the 100000 bonds of the
Seneca County Bank, Ohio, was $6s, loco.
The Auditor alleges that the bonds were
some of those deposited with the Treasurer
for the security of the circulation of the
bank.
We are authorised to say that the Sene-
ca County Bank of Ohio has not, nor has
it had, one dollar of Ohio State or other
stocks with Mcssrs. Atwood & Co., of this
city; nor has the bank ever had any deal
ings with them, as alleged by correspon-
dent of the Cincinnati Gazette. Neither
has Mr.. Gibson the late State Treasurer
of Ohio1 made any overdraft on Messrs.
Atwood d Co. His transactions with said
house are as Treasurer of the State, and
about which there can be no controversy.

Arrival ON Runaway MormOns.

Arrival ON Runaway MOrmOns.
The following we clip from the st. Louis
Democrat Of Tuesday:
We learn from one of the officers of q
steamer which arrived yesterday from the
upper Missouri, that on reaching Omaha
City, he was informed by some ofthe citi
zens, that party of so Mormons had ar
rived on the ID inst. The party encamped
in the town, and stated that they intended
to start down the river in a few days. They
were loud in their denunciations of the rul-
ing men of Utah, and avow their firm be
lief that a large number of the inhabitants
of the vally, as soon as they see chance
of protection by the arrival Of the .. s
troops, will gladly avail themselves of th'
opportunity Of Withdrawing themselves
from the yoke they are now groaning un
der. Those persons who have reached
Omaha, were portion of the dissatisfied
citizens of Salt Lake City, and their escape
(that is the word they use) was the result
of well devised and cautions stratagem.-
They left Salt Lake about April goth.

The INDIANA REGULAToRs.-Only three
of the band of Regulators, says the Evans
vile Journal, in Monroe county, who muir
dered Bigham by scourging him to death,
have been bound over for trial it bonds of
$4,000 each. The gang do not seem to
be intimidated by this action, and are more
insolent than ever-threatening all who
have taken part against them. People
have held meeting and have determined
10 arm themselves in defence. The old
man whom they whipped SO numerically
and who was driven from the county, has
since died of his injuries.

IBelieve IL Saved my Life

IBelieve IL Saved my Life
Jacob Wooster, of Bush Creek, New Sc
wickly township, says:
For two years suffered the Vertigo,
Naucea and Headache, attention Dyspep,
sia, sometimes so severely as to anticipate
me for any efort-at others, to confne me
to my bed. My bowels were often SO con-
stipated as to oblige me to use the most
powerful purgative to relieve myself In
deed, l at last Jound it necessary to use
something of the kind constantly. Last
fall commenced taking BGRHAVE'S
HOLLBND BITTERS, and found it just
what my case required. l cannot recon-
mend it too highly, for I believe 1t saued
my life"

H Tho verbosity of New York papers
in publishing local matter is the very acme
of foolishness. If couple of rowdies beat,
cut, shoot and otherwise pitch into each 9TH
er, it takes a column of the valuable space
of the Tribune, Times and Herald, to de-
scribe the affair. A reporter hastens to the
"scene of dissster"-the battle ground
the unfortunate locality" no common
term answers) and with as much minute
ness as if he were describing a conflict be-
tween thousands of armed men, proceeds
to give every particular that could possibly
have any relation to the row; how they
"Fit and fit, and gouged and bit
And struggled in the mud,
Until the ground for miles around
Was covered with their blood
And pile noses, ears and eyes,
Huge and massive, reached the skies!'
and if the number of rowdies is increased
to hundred side, each of the enterpri
sing journals, in their laudable endeavors
to get the information before the public
sin advance of all contemporaries" despatch
several dozen reporters to the spot provided
with several dozen quires of foolscap, pens,
ink, pencils, ct cetera, and on less than
three or four pages is sufficient to spread
the details of the terrible reconter before
the Metropolitan reader. 1t is mystery
how anybody can spare time to read such
abominable long reports. Generally, how
ever, the substance of the mass of stuff can
be gathered from the half column of glaring
headlines. Ifa man were to make prac-
tice of perusing such matter in the N. Y. pa
pers, he would lose half the time from his
business half from his sleep and recreation,
and have no leisure for other reading
But the spread-out syle, as well with la
dies skirts as newspapers, is all the rage.

VERY P1A1N,-Bvles. of the New. Yorl

VERY PLAIN.-Byles, of the New: York
Tribune, after taking look at Walker,
the Fillibus;er made up his mind that "God
wrote legible hand when his features were
traced" Cruelty and meanness are to be
read there in capital letters, and dogged
obstinacy, but with no admixture ofintellec-
tual quality, not even cunning, the lowest
of all. "His complexion is perfect gal
lows. Any intelligent jury would hang
him on the evidence of his face alone"
