R6 In reference to the late brutal murder of
officer Rigdon, in Baltimore, the Sam of that
city, says ''that some new evidence has come to
light that will involve number of persons 9TH
er than those under arrest, as accessories before
the fact because of their having had knowl-
edge of what was to be done, and having parti-
cipated in the arrangements for the commission
of the murder. The weapon with which the
murder was done had been seen before in the
possession of Crops. A vigorous effort is now
making to ferret out all the parties connected in
any manner with the horrible transaction"

SERIOUS ILLNESS OF THE Rev. Mr.. STURGEON.
The Rev. c. H. Spurgeon has been attacked
with very painful disease inflammation of
the kidneys-and a few days ago his life was
all but despaired of. His medical advisers has
given it as their opinion that no danger now ex-
lists, but he is prohibited from preaching just
yet. The following is copy Of letter address
ed to his congregation:
Beloved friends and kindred in Christ: The
days seem like weeks, and the weeks seem like
months, since went up to the house of the
Lord. My heart and my flesh are crying out
for the assembly of the saints. Oh how long
to hear once more the solemn shout of the festi-
val throng who with the voice of JOY and praise
keep holy day!
l am slowly rallying. My great struggle
now is with weakness. I feel as if my frail
bark had weathered a heavy storm which has
made every timber creak. Do not attribute
this illness to my having labored too hard for
my master. For His dear sake, would that l
may yet be able to labor more. Such tolls as
might be hardly noticed in the camp for the SER
vice of ones country would excite astonishment
in the church for the service of our God.
And now, entreat you, for loves sake, to
continue in prayer for me. When ye find &C
cess to God remember me. Mind, it is not by
the words of your mouth, nor yet by the crav-
ings of your heart, but it is by the precious
blood of Christ, you must draw nigh to God
And when we find His sweet presence, and are
believed with His holy amounting, then pour out
your souls before Him, and make mention of
me in your supplications.
Yours to love and serve in the Gospel.
G.. II. STURGEON.

JUDGE PR1cE.-Judge Price, in charging the
Hartford County Grand Jury on Monday, refer
red to the recent outrage committed in Balti-
more in the assassination of officer Rigdon for
discharging his duty in testifying in a court of
justice against an offender of the laws, and feel
ingly urged upon them the Importance of juries

New STEAM CARR1AGE.-Col. R. M. Hoe, of
New York, the inventor Of the celebrated type
revolving printing press, is about to construct a
carriage to travel over any turnpike or good
country road, and to be propelled by steam
The first is intended for himself to ride out and
in between his place of business and his country
seat, about twelve miles from the city of New
York. 1t is expected that the carriage and pro-
polling power will not cost more than good
pair of horses and coach, and travel over fair
road at the rate of two thirty per mile. This
will prove great public convenience, besides
the saving of horse flesh and oats.

va Judge Metcaf has rendered his decision
in the case of the Staten Island rioters who
burnt the quarantine buildings, and discharged
the leaders, on the ground that there was an
entire absence Of willfulness or malice on the
part of the incendiariesl He says that the Legs-
lature cannot apportion upon the surrounding
communities the dangers which her great foreign
commerce brings to the city Of New York, and
that the people of Castleton had the right of
ek-protection against infection"

WONDERFUL ExH1BITIoN-A Lvieg MINIS
Heart Open to Inspection New Yort Post

Some three years ago our physicians witness
ed the process Of digestion through an orice left
by gun shot wound in the abdomen of Alexis
st. Martin. But greater curiosity was yes
terday 1.-THE 9th inst.,) exhibited to the students
of the University Medical College at the hour of
Prof Motifs clinique. 1t was case of de6cien-
cy of the sternum breast bone,) which enables
the several movements of the heart to be seen.
It has excited intense interest for several years
past throughout the cities of Europe and Britain
The subject of the defect is very intelligent
gentleman, NJ Groux, a native of Hamburg,
twenty eight years of age, somewhat under the
average height, and rather pale, though he ap-
pears to be in health. He was introduced by
Dr. Mott, who thought that the substance which
occupied the place of the sternum might be
cartilage. M. Groux then showed the peculiar
conformity of his chest, and gave an excellent
lecture on the hearts action, demonstrating his
remarks with colored plates, an artificial heart
and his own body. The collar-bones are not
connected, neither are the ribs to their oppo-
sites,) but there is groove where the sternum
should be; the skin is natural. In its natural
state this groove is about an inch and half
WIDE but it can be distended to three inches
On looking at the groove a pulsatile swelling is
discernibe opposite the third and fourth ribs; if
respiration be suspended it rapidly rises to an
enormous extent, and remains full and tense I'M
til the breathing is restored, when it soon sub
sides. This is the heart. Between the claw
cles there is another pulsatie swelling, easily
felt, which is the aorta, the great artery from
the heart. The dilation and contraction of the
lung is also seen. In coughing the right lung
suddenly protrudes from the chest through the
groove, and ascends considerable distance "a
bove the right clavcle in the neck.
This case is a most remarkable one, and is a
rare opportunity for studying, er Elsa, the &C
tons Of the heart, great vessels and lungs. It
solves several doubtful questions in regard to the
action of the heart, and gives quite as vivid an
idea of the great strength and vigorous move
ments of the slittle lfe-machine," as if the ribs
were cut away and it exposed: more vivid in
deed, for in the latter case there would be no
action such as is now plainly visible under all
conditions Of the system, beneath only thin
veil of flesh.

THANKSGIVING DAY.-The Governor of our
State having set apart Thursday next, the 25th
instant, as suitable time for the acknowledge
monwealth, it behooves every individual in the
State to respond to the call of the Governor by
a respectful observance of the day and a CRATE
fnl offering Of thanks for those blessings. There
is not an individual in the community, however
humble his condition in life may be, who has no
cause to be thankful to that Being whose bless
ings are over all his creatures.

D@The following paragraph appears in the
local columns of several of our Baltimore ex-
changes of the 18th instant:
Mysterious Disappearance. A gentleman
named s. A. Tubman, from Charles county
Nd, arrived in this city on Saturday last and
proceeded to the boarding house of Mrs. Weems,
No. As Conway street, where he remained over
night and arose at an early hour on Sunday
morning and left the house, since which time he
has not been heard Of He stated to the land
lady that he was country merchant, and had
come to the city for the purpose Of laying in a
stock Of winter goods, and also that he had a
large amount of money with him. As his bag
gage is still at the house it is feared that he has
been foully dealt with.
The San Of yesterday says that Mr.. Tubman
is from Prince Georges county, and that no clue
has yet been had of ,whereabouts. tits sup
posed he left the house on the morning of his
disappearance with the intention of attending
religious worship. It is denied that he had any
large sum Of money with him, and being strict
" temperate man in all respects, his absence is
the more Nnaccountable.

hundred feet

The RAnRoAD.-We have received letter
from the Agent for this enterprise, in which he
states the cause of his not being present at the
time for holding the meeting advertised to be
held in Port Tobacco, on the 10th inst. The
cause was the postponement of our Agricultural
Exhibition, which was expected to bring to-
gether large number of persons from all sections
Of the county It will be seen that the Agent
now gives notice for meeting in this place on
Tuesday, the second day Of Court 9th Dec.,)
when addresses may be expected.
1t will be seen also, that a meeting of the
Stockholders will take place at Upper Marlbo-
rough on the 18th Of December next, to elect
seven Directors Of the Railroad Company.
We are pleased to learn from the Agent that
the prospects of the enterprise are fattering.

D6 Congress will meet on Monday, the 9th
Of December next, and already number of
members have arrived in Washington.
n6M Mr.. Edward Everett has agreed to con-
tribue one original article each week to the
Neso York Ledger-for which the proprietors of
that paper have given to the Mount Vernon
Association 1000.
Our RELATIONS WITH MExIco.-A cores
pondent of the Baltimore SIN says that 1.-THE
state Of our relations with Mexico is such that
our Executive government must necessarily very
soon take positive attitude in regard to them.
! have no doubt the policy Of the Executive on
the subject will be fully developed in the Presi
dents message to Congress at the opening Of the
ensuing session. The policy of inactivity is, I
am persuaded, to be abandoned. It may be a
question how far the present cabinet may be a
unit in regard to measures now under conside-
ration in relation to Mexico, but it is to be sup
posed, from the past trapsactions of the admin
istration, that they will present firm and uni
ted front in regard to foreign as well as domestic
questions"

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.
III +. Roberfson Shol!

A gloom peryades our town on
account ofan ARRAY which it pains
US to record. Col. Robertson was
killed on Thursday evening last by
Mr.. Sam Meredith. The shooting
occurred between Mrs. Sims and
the store Of NJ. M. Henderson. We
were first started at the screaming
of women, and not knowing what it
meant, repaired to the spot and
found Col. Robertson -DEAD. The
ball entered his forehead about an
inch above the edge of his hair, and
came out in the back part, Causing
instant death.
This is truly distressing eircum-
stance, and makes us shudder as we
contemplate the misery it will en-
tail upon the families on both sides.
There was but one pistol fired,
though bota were armed. The con.
Lrarity Of opinions and assertions
render US unable to give further light
concerning this unfortunate affair.
