MURDER AT MISREPRESENTATION Sunday
evening, the body Of a female was dis
covered about mile below the mill dam
in the river, perfectly nude, with the ton.
que protruding from the mouth, and
marks of violence around the throat, as il
death had been caused by strangulation,
and afterwards thrown in the river. Ii
was ascerlaned that the body was that OF
a young Irish girl in the employ OF Mr..
Estes, of Manchester. From testimony.
it appears that she left her home on
Thursday evening to go to dance at a
house belonging to person named Con :
nell, and that she left there in company
with young man named Lyons since
then she has not been heard of until found
between two logs in the river. with her
face downwards. We understand the
Councils conflict somewhat in their state
ments respecting the matter. The con
duct OF Lyons, too, has been strange
throughout the whole time of her disap-
pearance. He has been arrested on sus-
picion. More particulars will be given
next week.-Dyersuitie Mer.

sick bed was important to the safety of

The necessity for these bridges, then, is
very apparent, and we deem it but just
that the county should pay something
toward their erection, The people would
doubtless refuse the proposition that she
should erect them entirely, and we think,
under the circumstances, it would be
poor policy for her to do so, The pro-
position, however, as presented in the
Judges proclamation, is, whether she
shall pay one-third of the cost. This we
deem she can and ought to do. 1t will
not involve her in any considerable
amount of expense, and yet will proba-
bly, prove sufficient inducement to
cause the erection of most of the bridges
needed, by the people in their vicinity
Every man will be more or less accom-
modated by their construction, and should
contribute his quota towards that result
By contributing it in this way, he does
so in direct ratio to his means, and gives
but little, at most. Besides, he compels
the nonresident landowners, who share
the benefits of all such improvements, to
pay their due proportion. We think the
proposal reasonable one, and have no,
yet heard an objection to it. We see nc
reason why it should not carry unani-
mously.

aid of Dec. 1855, (then under the con-
troll of d. A. Mahony,) to prove that the
Democracy had changed ground upon
the question of the power of Congress to
legislate for the Territories. The extrac
was pointed, and expressly declared that
Congress had the sole and exclusive con-
troll of territory while it remained so.
Mr.. V. argued that as Mr.. Mahony was
still prominent Democrat, having since
that time been elected member Of the
Legislature, and was at this time Of like
views with the present conductors Of that
paper, that the party had changed front,
and that what was then considered Dem
rcratic was now denounced as not sound
doctrine, and was inconsistent with the
Cincinnati Platform. mi"
Mr.. Dorr at this point interrupted Mr.
Vandever, and asked him if the article

NEGLECT NOT THE SLIGHT PAIN"
Though but little pain now, it may, by
neglect, become terrible one by and
by. The good old adage, 9 A stitch in
time saves nine" should never be for
gotten. 1t is much easier to guard
against disease, by taking proper care of
the system when it is unimpaired, than
to mend it when it is once broken down.

Shall the County help TO build our
Bridges!

Eg- AS the late freshet has carried of
several bridges, in different sections oil
the county, and as their immediate re-
newal is matter of some importance,
not only to the people in their immediate
vicinity, but to the travelling public, the
county Judge has been strongly urged to
abandon the policy which has hereto
fore governed his predecessor and him
self in this matter. and is solicited to ex-
tend the aid of the county to their con
struction. BY law of the late legisla
ture, he has the power to contract, at
will, for tie erection of any bridge with
in the county, whose cost will not exceed
$500; and at the petition of one hundred
voters, is authorized to cause the con
struction of any that may cost over that
sum. Owing, however, to the number
of bridges needed and asked for, and to
the fact that the treasury is now entirely
empty, with few hundred dollars of war
rants still outstanding, and also because,
in these times Of monetary embarrass.
ment, any additional taxation would be q
grievous burden upon the people, the
judge has, very properly we think, hest.
tated to inaugurate the policy asked for
and has come back to the people for in
structions. With different state Of af-
fairs in the treasury, or with the ordinary
amount of prosperity among the people
he would have no hesitation in making
these improvements at the county's ex.
pense. 1t is. with him, not question Of
right, or Of inclination, but of expcdien
cy-of duty TO a people at present finan
eially depressed.
It is customary and proper that coun.
ties should build bridges and make other
necessary improvements upon county
roads and unless they do SO, the COME
niences Of travel within their borders are
apt to be lacking. This has heretofore
been the case in this county, and has re

On the subject of bites and stings,"
Halls Journal Of Health mas an item
which may be important to some:
LAS many of our readers are prepar-
ing to travel or go in the country for the
summer, it may be useful to remind them
that an ounce vial of spirits of hartshorn
should be considered one of the indis-
pensables, as in case of being bitten or
stung by any poisonous animal or insect,
the immediate free application of the
alkali as wash to the part bitten gives
instant, perfect, and permanent relief, the
bite of a mad dog, we believe, not except

A FACT NOT MENTIoNED-By those
who have made great ado over Mortar
tvs malpractice, in printing documents
for the late Legislature without author
ity,--has come to our knowledge. 1t is
this: There was not a single syllable Of
authority for printing an Appena;r to the
last Journal. printed by Mr.. Dorr, of the
Dubuque Express, while he was State
Printer. No motion, resolution or order
for such an Appendix appears in the
Journal or the Laws, yet he went on and
printed an Appendix, at cost of between
one and two thousand dollars, and drew
pay for the same. The only difference
between his case and that of Moriarty, is
that the latter had an order to print for
one House, and was forbidden by the
other; while the former had no order
from either House for the work for which
he filched pay from the State Treasury
