The Rockford Register contains The .partic-
ulars of an affair which recently took plac e
at Seward, in that county, between ex-Goy-
ernor Bebb and force of rowdies, in which
one man was killed and another severely
wounded.
1t appears considerable ill-feeling existed
between Governor B. and some of his neigh
bors, on account of some alleged aris.ocratic
bearing, and the return of his son from the east
with his bride, was adopted as an occasion for
an exhibition Of it.
The rowdies accordingly prepared them
selves with COW bells, guns, tin pans, and 9TH
er articles, ordinarily usea on such occasions,
and repair ed 10 The residence of the Governor
at late hour in the night, and commenced
making all manner Of noises, clamors aud ont
cries, assailing the house with stones, and fir
ing towards it with their guns.
After enduring this assault for some time il,
silence, Governor b. made his appearance al
the front OF his house, and demonstrated with
tie mob, requesting them TO desist. This re
quest was received with hootings and howllngs
aud an increase of clalnor. After little time
he again came forward and remarked that pa
tience had ceased to be virtue, and that il
they did not desist and leave the premises. he
would be compelled to use violence.
This threat only seemed IL exasperate the
assailants, who replied that they had come
there to fight, and were only waiting for him
to commence, or words to such import. He
then went into the house aad brought out a
double-barrelled shot gun, firing one barrel at
the feet Of the ring leaders Of the mob, which
took effect upon one OF The party, gripping
him in the leg. AT this some Of them disper-
sea, while tie others rallied and made a rush
upon the Governor, who raised his gun and
discharged the other barrel at the foremos,
man, hitting him in the head and killing him
instantly, whereupoI his assailants suddenly
decampsd.
The affair has created much excitement in
the community

Fly TIME.--Now that fyg time is coming,
we may be doing a favor Cor spelling some
body's walD by inss ring the following: a
traveller remarks that the butcher shops at
Geneva are all open. and although immense
numbers. Of flies may be seen on the outside
walls, not one comes in. This is caused By the
inner walls beiag rubbed over with laurel oil,
which is an effective preventive against the
intrusion Of these troublesome insects. The
Courier 5du HLpre, in abiding to this fact,
states that no fly win enter a room in which
wreath Of walnut leaves has been hung up.

RAILROAD DTREcToRs.--Itw will be seen from
the following, which we cut from the Demo
cratic Press of Chicago, that many men that
are now elected directors of the Chicago, Bur-
linston and Quincy Railroad, are directors of
The B. & M. r. Railroad. Although the roads
are separate and distinct, yet as the same par
ties are interested as directors and stoc khold-
ers Of each it mounts to consolidation OF
interests, if not of stock, and evidently fore
shadowing closer connection, eventually
How soon this will be accomplished, if eper,
time only will determine. ~.
At meeting Of the stockholders of the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad
Company, held on the Sd Jane Inst, the fol-
lowing persons were elected directors FOR the

Mr.. Filiibuster Walker, it seems, is a used
up man. As stated last week he has effected
hisescape from Nicaragua, and at last accounts
wasJourneying to Washington by way of the
Mississippi River. The slayocrats Of the
South, OF course, give him cordial reception
as ne has been engaged in their service. It,s
aourning disgrace to. the country, and to the
age, that this man who has been guilty Of almost
every crime known to any code, through whose
fundamentally thousands Of lives have been
squandered, and the foreign relations Of the
country endangered, should be not only per-
mitted to set foot N the country but worse
than that, should enjoy during a passage
through 1t almost public ovation! We trust,
however, that Fillibustering is dead. 1t cer-
tsiDly looks like it now.

THE NEw SPEAKER IN A FIx.-Upon the
meeting of Parliament, the swearing in of the
members was pretty brisk in the early part of
the day, but as it drew near four O'Clock, the
groups that came up to take oaths and SUBJ
scribed the Parliamentary roll became small BY
degrees until the last only numbered three. As
they were introduced to Mr.. Speaker, they
passed roand by the back Of his chair, and left
the house. The last one who was presented
was Mr.. Hume, the member for Wicklow,
and after the formal introduction he staid chat
ting with the speaker for few minutes, and
was about leaving the house, when Sir Denis
lie Merchant called TIE Speakers attention to
the fact that there was not an ,ther member
present to move The adjouraEentof the House.
Mr.. Hume was accordingly requested to re-
turn and DO that kind office for the Speaker,
or he would have been unable to leave the
chair until some honorable member could be
procured to release him. Mr. Hume at once
returned, aid taking his stanl at the Treasury
benches, he said, "Mr. Speaker, I moye that
this house do now adjourn" There being no
member present to move an amendment on
this motion, it was carried by the mayer ami
the Speaker retired.

ASTI-PHoToGaAPHIc BANK NorEs.-Some
Ut the bills belonging to banks in this city
were copied soperfectly by the Photographic
process that they could not be detected by the
bank officers. This has led the banks to issue
bills with yellow colored groundwork, which
cannot be SO copied. The yellow or luminous
ray Of light. exerts no chemical action or the
prepared paper OF the Photographic artist.
therefore the yellow colored groundwork or
. genuine bill produce : black ground in a
