Conviction of Ward, the Sylvania Muir:
derer.


The Toledo papers have been filed for some
time past with the records of the trial of Re
turn j. NJ Ward, for the murder of his wife
at Sylvania. On Thursday, the jury returned
verdict of guilty Of murder in the first de-
gree. The wretched prisoner received the an
nouucement with stoical Indifference. The
Blade sums up the result of the trial as fol-
lows
The case was one Of the most eXtraordi-
nary on record. The evidence going to show
the identity of the remains as those belonging
to the body of Mrs Ward, is exceedingly
slight and yet so strong are the circumstan-
ces which point to the guilt of the prisoner,
aud so overwhelming the train of evidence
against him, that the jury have had no difficult
ty in coming to a conclusion in regard to the
matter, and will be fully sustained by the ver-
dict of popular opinion. So far as we are u-
formed there is no doubt of the righteousr ess
of the Judgment which has been rendered"
" The murder is one of the most brutal hor-
rid and disgusting, in all the annals of crime.
husband not only murders his wife, after
cold-blooded generalization, but he sits up
nights with his doors locked, cuts her up into
small pieces and burns up her remains in the
stove. The process occupied several days, in
which time, he drew largely on the shops for
shavings, and the unsavory scent went forth
from the chimney, and filled the nostrils of
those who happened to be in that vicinity
He occupied himself with this disgusting and
appalling work, till he thought he had obliter-
ated all traces of his guilt, and then deGed de-
lection. But, murder will out" 1t is anna
zing, what an array of facts, unimportant in
themselves have been brought to bear on the
case, and what an irresistible conviction of
guilt they carry to the mind Ward has not
yet had his sentence, but he will be hung by
the neck till he is dead, dead. We hear it
said that this will be the first case of capital
execution in this county"

ANOTHER PUTNAM ADkENTURE--A few
weeks ago, Thomas Evans, of Chest Greek,
Clearfeld County, Pa, while on a hunting ex-
cursion, observed a ledge of rocks, which his
experienced eye detected as being the haunt
of bear 1t being late in the evening, he
went home, but returned next morning ac-
companied by his brother. They soon found
narrow passage between the rock that led
into dark and dismal cave. On arriving at
the mouth of the cavern, Thomas, after throw
ing down his gun, and divesting himself of
his hunting accoutrcments, crawled in through
the narrow entrance, and after cropping about
in the dark for some time, had the pleasure
of laying his hand upon bruins back Hav-
ing ascertained the position of the animal, he
returned to the entrance Of the cave, and got
his gun, then went back into the cavern to
visit his new acquaintance, while his brother
remained outside to act as sentry provided
the animal attempted to escape. Having
oome up to the bear again he placed the muz-
zIe of his gun against the animal and fred.
A furious growl from the beast accompanied
the report of the gun, and young Evans hur-
RED out of the cave as soon as possible. He,
however, put another load into his gun and
scrambled back, into the cave again. This
time he succee eded in putting ball through
the vital part of the animals body. 1t was
dragged out and weighed over three hundred
pounds.-ElmlrG AdrertiSer.

inaugurate the Republican party and sustain
the principles incaleulated by Jefferson than
any other politician in our State. DAVID VIII
MOT has few equals as a Statesman-as
firm, determined, energetic and sagacious ad-
vocate of the great doctrine of republican equa-
lity. he has no snperiors. His reputation is
natonal-the proviso which bears his name,
Justly entities him to the title of second Jef-
ferson He has been faithful, unwavering ex-
ponent of the Democracy of the fathers of the
Republic, bnt when modern sham Democracy
introduced its popular sovereignty" dogmas
and sought to extend the area of human sla-
very and set at nought the spirit of the Dec
laration Of Independence, WHMOr repudiated
the great wrong and its perpetrators, and
secuted the Cahoun-Pierce policy as an infa-
NOUS swindle, and giaring infringement upon
the rights of free people. Most fearlessly
and ncessantIy did he wage war against the
Kansas \ ebraska iniquity and in short space
of four years we see bis district revolutionized,
and Democratic majority of some three thou
sand turned into a Republican majority of
nine thousand. No better evidence is needed
of the personal influence and political sagacity
of our leader than his successful overthrow of
Proslavery Locofocoism in his own district
With such standard bearer we have every
reason to believe that American Republican
ism is invincible, and that the people of the
Keystone State will speak, in tones that can
not be misunderstood, their emphatic condem-
nation of Border Rufianism in Kansas and
pro-slayery sophstry on the supreme bench.
The authors Of the Dred Scott decision may
yet have reason to dread the popular voice of
the freemen of the North Most heartily do
we rejoice at the nomination of WILMor 1t
is one eminently fit to be made-a cordial ac-
acknowledgement of his ability, craftsmanship
and worth as a champion of human freedom.
He VIII inspire our ranks with enthusiasm,
and encourage them to redoubIe their efforts
to redeem Pennsylvania from the control of
an unprincipled Border Ruflian oligarchy.

A Man in the Rapids of Niagara
Rescue.

The story Of Joseph Avery the unfortu-
nate man who lived for a day clnging to a
rock in the rapids above the American, will
not soon forgotten an occurrence of a very
similar character happened on Tuesday last
\ man named E. c. Tailor, resident of West
Winfield, Herkimer county, "a guest at the
Ladow House, descended the bank of the
River, near the Suspension Bridge, probably
for the purpose of viewing the bridge from be-
low. On reaching the bottom, he slipped, and
fell into the water, just above the bridge, near
the shore, rolling over and over, borne on by
the resistless current, until he caught hold of
a large rock, and after some hard struggles
reached the top. The alarm was mmedi-
ately given in the neighborhood, and it was
soon decided there was no way of reaching
him but by means Of rope ladder This was
Immediately procured, and after much hesita-
ton, delay and alteration, occasioned by the
difficulty of determining where to place it, in
aSmuch as the man could not be seen from the
projecting banks over his head, it was lowered
to the distance of perhaps q hundred feet and
there became entangled among the rocks and
trees
1t was at once decided that some one must
60 down to dsentangle it. In few moments
VIM. b. Coburn porter of the Ladow Hotel,
volunteered his services and proceeded to the
place where the ladder was attached to the
trees. He needed assistance, and soon two
more brave men, Anthony Shiley and Mats
Grant, offered to go down. The three worked
bravely for more than an hour in conducting
the ladder, while men at the top carefully let
it down. At length the waving of handker-
chiefs and cheerngs on the Canada side ind-
Gated to US that the man had sprung to the
shore from the rock, and had begun to ascend
the ladder. Cautiously, and with firm grasp
and step, he climbed up three hundred feet,
and was greeted by the shouts and exclama-
tions of the hundreds of spectators who had
assmbled to witness the exciting scene. He
was for few moments borne on the shoulders
of the excited multitude, all were SO anxious
to congratulate him.

THE LEGISLATURE.

Two apportionment bills have been reported
in the Senate The one reported by the ma
jority of the committe, gives Bradford two
representatives, and makes Bradford and Ly
coming senatorial district The minority re-
port gives Bradford two representatives, and
makes Bradford, Susquehanna and Lycoming
senatorial district No progress has yet
been made in the passage of the bill, and it
will probably cause much trouble.
The House has been engaged in the consid
Grafton of the appropriation bill. An amend
ment was offered repeating the law creating
the office which Mr. MAFFn holds, and was
adopted by one majority The Canal Commits
soners have been indefatigable in their efforts
to make party question upon the passage of
the amendment, and it would seem with sue
cess. 1t will not pass the Senate, however.
No day of adjournment has been yet fixed
upon, nor is there any prospect of speedy
completion of their labors.
The Free Banking law was taken up in the
House, on Friday last, and defeated by yeas
80, nays &c.
