neck was mufier Of grsy woollen cloth,
and around his head, In Turkish fashion,
was g red and blue turban. All his appar.

the door, and he prevented all attempts at
shooting him by keeping Crabb between

On the morning of the 9th, stratagem
was resOrted to. Breakfast was set at the
cell door in vessels Of larger size than ordi-
nary, but the convict refGsed to open the
door until the hall was cleared, which, after
brief consultation, was done. The war.
den, superintendent and guards were on
each side of the cell, but out Of sight and
motionless. The convict slowly opened the
door nearly enough to admit the food, when
erowbar was instantly inserted. The
warden cried out to Crabb, the imprisoned
guards to fight for his life. He accordingly
sprahg to the opening Of the door, ard a
length dragged himself through, but not BE-
fore he was stabbed by the eonuict nine tims'
seven times in the back and t,Oice on tn
arms. When the poor victim was dragget
out, the convict barred the door again, ant
refused TO yield. He was then given few
minutes for reflection, and the re6sl was
after much dodgng and effort to get out o

The ball struck his skull just below tn

The Marriage Law.

One OF the favorite customs in all civil
lized communities Is the hirtation ant
ccurting Of sousins. Osr Legislature, how-
ever, are about interpOsing their authority
to break up this delicious employment. A
House bill, in relation to marriages, was las,
week amended in the Senate, making the
intermarrisge of first cousins illegal. Dr..
Kincaid made very sensible speech on the
subject, proving by physiology and expert
encs that the marriages Of near relatives
result disastrOusly to the offspring. If the
bill should become . law, as we trust i,
may, those whe design marrying their cou-
sins had better be quick in doing SO, or i,
will be forbidden and Q waste of love rea-
lixed.

quarters. TO know the sentiments of Col.
David Tod, on the Kansas question; some
elsiming thatho is in favor Of tho admission
Of that territory with the Lecompton Con-
ssitution, and others that he is opposed to it.
The matter is, however, set at rest by the
following which we fnd in the Canfeld
Sentinel:
The getters up Of the Knox county meet
ing took the liberty Of announcing David
Tod, William Allen and other distinguished
men AZ speakers. We learn from Mr.. Tod.
personally, that he will net attend that or
any ether meeting Of the kind. He differs
with the administration only on the one
point Of Leeompton, and thinks men NAV be
and are still good democratic, although thev
happen to differ and think as they please
about Kansas Affairs. He is not disposed
to and will not attempt to embarrass the ad-
ninistration, but he will not address Lee
compton meetings. He does not favor an
excited and Improbable commotion on this
subject of Kansas. He 10 sensible iu hi,
position, and we think it worthy of immita-
son BY many!

has been too much Of that thing done in
this county already. The paupers should
never be kept in one building for the follow
ing reasons: First, on account Of its being
liable to be burned by its inmates; I refel
you to the Ashtabula county Poor House
burned last year, in which Seven Of its in
