a sad Miss.

The Michigan City Enterprise of last
week says that young woman employed
at the residence of Mr.. Bomback in that
place, was shot in the head, above the ear,
with pistol bullet, on Tuesday, while
she was sitting at the dinner table. The
shot was fired by man named ellison, be-
longing to the railroad, who was so fright
ened at the consequences that he run a
way. After day OF two he returned and
gave himself up, and the trial established
that the catastrophe was purely accident
al. He had intended to shoot dog in the
rear of the house, but the ball missed, pass
ed through the window, and struck the
girl. Itwas careless but not intention
ally criminal act. The girl is in very
dangerous condition. ~

Lords Detector puts ''forth special a
eainst this Car" because, he says, 'our
correspondent at that place informs us that
he has no knowledge of any such Banking
House in that place." from which it infers
that even though it has name it, is with
out a sslocal habitation." Mr. Lords cor
respondent has misled him, whether pur-
,poscly or not, we viii not say, but it is
somewhat strange that lone of the Oldest
and most noted citizens of the town.
should be ignorant of the existence of such
AN Institution here, when it has been adyer-
tisei IN both papers regularly for. several
months past. We do not intend by these
remarks, to endorse the soundness Of this
or any other bank 1t is not our business,
and besides we are not in possession ofthe
necessary information in relation to the
means of the proprietors to enable us to do
so. Like our State Bank it has deposited
no security to the bill holder we believe,
but proposes to establish itself in the con-
fidence of the people by the prompt redemp-
tion Of it's bills, when presented, in gold
or. Exchange, and by the unimpeachable
character Of its managers.

We suggested the other day the proprie-
ty of daguerreotyping the old domicil of
.sUncle Pom Magruder, as it was now
tenantless, and might soon be torn down
to make way for some one of the many
improvements that are going on in the cas-
tern part of tie city. Mr.. c.. j. Fisher,
who has daguerrean gallery few doors
east of the Palmer House, made a very cor
rect picture of it the other day, and left .
copy of it with u.s. The old cabin, with its
open door and window, its low chimney
and roof of boards, arc clearly exhibited
The trees are not yet in leaf, and they
stand at the east end and south side of the
cabin, without an opened bud to give relief
or covering to their naked trunks and
limbs. The new houses west of it, and the
fence, along which is laid the track of the
Bellefontaine Railroad, are distinctly rep
resented. 2

We find the following in the FIT Wayne
Times, and rc-produceit for the Information
of the 200 or 800 citizens Of our flourish
ing town who formerly resided in Fort
Wayne:
For the past few days circumstance OF
a domestic nature has developed, which
has caused the most intense excitement a
mong men, women and prcachers-an ex-
element quite equal to the approach of the
Asiatic Cholera, yet without its alarm
Confding husbands have ''pon honor
communicated the secret to still more con-
fiding spouses. Artless spouses have been
quick to get aid to keep it. Madam Cos
sip has, with locomotive speed, spread the
sad news, pih pitying, allover the city
The mails have been laden with the precious
charge, while saints and almost saints have
been blamed and censured for their disin
interestedDess, and lastly unaJfiiated outsi-
ders are passing closer and closer to the
dish of the inextricable whirlpool as each
day points to more direct completely on
their part 1t is one of the most unfortu-
nate affairs that ever transpired in this city,
without the breaking of bones, and always
saving and excepting that unparalleled act
of diabolical seduction practised by Reuben
DoGBERRY IurRer-now the organ and
mouthpiecc of the papal branch of lo~cofo-
codom, on that artless child-Miss Mary
Jessup. We of course are not expected to
detail in our paper this matter as it may be,
much less as it appears now from rumor.
1t is delicate affair and regardless ofwhat
appears now to be the sympathy for the un-
fortunate gentleman, and the blame on the
more unfortunate lady, there yet may arise
circumstances which shall throw on the
canvass in bold relief yet undiscovered
persons, the depraved features of whom
will form the fore ground and back ground
the light and shade of picture which
will reach with desolating influence other
families also. There arc in this city some
men of long residence whose laisons are no.
torious and yet who from their position arc
specimens of ''sin plated with gold, -
still there is an overruling Providence that
for wise ends are gradually mmasking
these Jold bad men. Day after day some
little affair is brought to light which adds
to the magazine very soon to explode with
an internal destructiveness; then the ruined
hopes, the blasted prospects, the disgraced
children, disconsolate wives and afflicted
friends will form the sum total of wreck
alas too soon to be forgotten. In view
of such depravity as is known to exist in
this city among certain persons, we have
to say that no other town in Christendom
would tolerate it, but the wicked wretches
would soon be taken to the public square
and there quarterel and their bones and
flesh burned as terror to like evil doors
in future. They are lost to shame, and the
law is without terror to Them

A Change that is a Change.

The Frce-State men have bought ont that
notorious Pro-Slavery hole known as
Atkinson and converted it into aRcpubli-
can town; but that is not all. Robert Nc
Bratney, formerly editor of Xenia Torch
light, o., has purchased the Squatter Sou
ere;g@, edited by Stringfellow, and has
changed it into a Republican paper! just

editor. There is something new under the
sun. - ~ 81

Stare Whipped to Death.

n man in Pulaski Co., Ky, a few days
ago whipped his slave to such an extent
that he>died. He punished him six morn
ings in succession, and on the seventh day
the slave died. The negro desired to see
his wife, who was owned by, and lived
with another party. The master ref,!scd
permission; the negro disobeycd, and Wis
tied his wife in the evening, returning early
next morning. For this the unfortunate
man was whipped to death. The brute
who committed the inhuman act made his
escape, and is being pursued by the officers.

Judge BIcKsELL, of the I'd Judicial Cir
cult, in this State, we learn from the Har-
risoa Democrat, has decided that under the
exemption law of 1852, person who
gives mortgage upon property, to secure
the payment Of debt. may, if he be a
resident householder" claim the mort
gagged property as exempt from sale in ex-
actly the same manner as if it had not
been mortgaged. That is, unless the
house holder is worth $500 over and above
the property mortgagcd, the mortgage is
worthless. The Democrat doubts the COR
rectness Of the decision, but we think the
Judge decided in accordance with the law.
