~ The Albany Argus relating an
instance of remarkable courage of q
young lady" 1t appears that farmer
Houghkirk, of Schoharie county, was
suspected Of an intention to commit
suicide, and his daughter, aged II, was
told to watch him, He started for q
barn about half mile from his resi-
dence, the girl following him at dis
tance, to prevent his observing her.
Lie entered the barn-she came up
and entered also, when the horrifiying
spectacle of her father suspended by
the neck, and black in the face, met
her gaze. She Immediately ran to
him and tried to raise him up, but find
ing him too heavy, she thrust her hand
in his pocket, drew therefrom his
knife, and cut him down. She then
laid him on the barn floor, took his
cap from his head and ran to spring,
filled it with water, returned and COM
menced bathing him with it. After
a while he began to breath. She then
eft him and called assistance. He
was taken home, and is now in fair
way OF recovery.

STATE DEMOCRAT.
Davenport. Jan 8, 1863.

~ The Albany Journal has start
ed theory about the Rochester muir
dea. In casting about for the motives
which induced the killing Of Littlcs,
the following theory is suggested :
Stout while living near Oswego, was
sent to the Pennsylvania Penitentiary
II is surmised that, previous to that he
married the woman known as Mrs.
Titles, and now represented as his SIS
ter; thai while her husband was in
prison, this woman lived in the Stout
family as daughter, and as such was
known to Titles and became his wife.
After Stout was released from prison
he Of couse returned to his family,
found his wife again married, consent
ed to keep up the delusion with Littles,
and now, in connection with his wife,
murdered him.

THE JAPANESE BECOMING LESS Ex-
cLusIvE'-- CONFIRMATION Of Reports
from other .Sources.-We have been
shown letter from E. E. Rice, United
States Commercial Agent at Hakodadi,
to Captain Tooker Of the Ontario, in
which he communicates some facts of
interest. He writes under date of Sept
10: "The Japanese are becoming
less exclusive. They now furnish in
abundance for ships use, hogs, potatoes
vegetables of all kinds, and rice. BY
a new treaty, made since you were
here, Americans can reside here per-
manently after the 4th of July, 1858. l
have no doubt that importations from
the United States will be made soon as
at certain seasons Of the year such mer-
chandise would pay we'll. Americans
residing here are subject only to Amer
lean laws. The treaty is in force, so
far as the japanese are concerned
They say, Come the more the better
Mexican dollars only should be brought
here. All other things are nearly
worthless.-Hondula Commercial .Ad-
vertiser.

A COMMON FAULT REBUKED.-How
annoying it is, when seated alone in
your Office, to have some one to open
the door, look around the room to be
satisfied that you are its only occupant,
and they ask, Mr.. --(your part
ner, perhaps is not in, is he? The
custom as tits ridiculous and annoying.
The Buffalo Express instances a case in
that city, where one Of these askers of
needless questions was etfectualIy tax
en- down. A member of law firm in
that city is sitting at his desk busilv en-
gagged when the door opens
Mr.. Anger walks in takes seat,
and says, in a drawing tone, "Mr. -
isn't in, is he!" The question was
useless, of course, as there was no one
else in the room but two; but the
counsellor arose, and with great uban-
ity, replied, Il will see, sir" lie look
ed under his chair, behind the stove,
into the "pigeon holes" Of his
desk, and saying, 81 don't see him."
sat down and went on writing.
Hold on Squire" said the visit or,
you have taught me lesson, sir, and
III send you a peck Of apples and
departed.
