Davidson. Dog ran into the road frightened
a horse belonging to one Shufelt. Shufeits
horse ran away. upset wagon. and broke a
leg belonging to w. II. Patterson. As Smith
caused the accident, Shufelt says that smith
should foot the bill. Smith says that the own
er of the dog should pay the damages. Da-
wilson claims that he is not holden, because
the dog was not mad, and if he were mad, he
would not have frightened the horse, had
Smith attended to his own business, and let

The WEATHER.-For the last seven or eight
weeks We have had great deal of rain, which
has almost entirely suspended farming opera
tions. But little corn has as yet been planted
in this county, and that which is in the ground
Will doubtless rot, and render re-planting me-
cessary. The growing crops look well, but
stand much need of warm sunshine.
Holmes had reference to such weather as we
have been experiencing for some time. when
he wrote that
ssThe weather cock has rusted East;
The blue sky is forgotten;
The earth's saturated sponge,
And vegetation 'srottcn.

its great amount, and the difficulty OF hnding

much needed function of stimulating trade,

We learn by the Journal, printed at Middle
town, Dauphin Co., Pa, that one of the bold
est and most daring robbcrics ever perpetrated
in that borough, took place on Wednesday
night, May 18th. between the hours of | and
/ o'clock. The large tavern cf Mrs. Griffec
was entered, where the thieves succeeded in
getting some 5000. Following up Union
street, the heXt house entered was that of Mr..
Samuel Lands, which was entered through
window. The pocket book of Mr.. L., con-
falcons, which he had thrown in the entry be-
fore retiring for the night. This the rascals
extracted, and left, it appears, without disturb
ing any of the inmates, who must have been
sound asleep at the time. The house of Mrs.
Ferrington was also entered, but as some one
of the family up at the time, the alarm
was given and the thieves disappeared. On
the same evening, the large brick house OF
Gen. SmUller, President of the Bank of Mid
dletown, was entered. The thieves gained ad-
mittance through window on the balcony
having climbed up on grape vine After
having gone through two rooms, the noise of
the intruders awakened Mr.. S., who called TO
know whether any of the family had been up.
Receiving no reply, he proceeded TO light
taper, when he distinctly heard noise as if
some one was leaving the house, after which all
was quiet. In the morning traces of the intru
ders were visible, but nothing had been stolen.

"SLAVERYo AGITATION in
FRAME

The question is being seriously discussed
in France, whether the colony of Algeria
will not be benefited by the introduction Of
negro ]aborers. The President of the Sen
ate, Count de Morney, Marshal Canrobert,
sundry generals, and some of the highest
Marine officials, have expressed themselves
approvingly on the subject, and NJ. Theirs,
it is said, considers the subject an impor-
tant one, and deserving Of tie attention of
careful thinkers.
The Archbishop of Algeria, too, is anx-
ious for the introduction Of negro slavery
into his diocese. Indeed, all the prominent
statesmen Of France are of the same mind
and the papers are discussing the question.
with much interest. The idea involved in
this movement, Of course, is to raise cotton
in the colony and as the natives are unfit
for the kind of labor necessary, it is urged
that the genuine Congo and Ashantee
should be imported for the purpose The
agitation Of ''slsvery" in France is one of
the signs of the times. A few years ago
only the bare mention of it would have fl
led France with horror. That powerful
leveler, necessity, is aow forcing the minds
of its statesmen to the conclusion tAat the
day for distractions is past, and that the
material welfare of the colonies must be the
governing force. This is but the begin
ming of the great revolution, which is to.

Bloody ReEc0Dtre in Kentucky.

4 fearful rencontre occurred at the Sixth
Ward polls yesterday. Upon several occa-
sions during the morning, before the occur
renee we speak off, Irishmen had been driven
from the polls and thrown down the court
house steps, height Of more than fifteen
feet. One of these was chased through the
court house yard, st the east end, by no
torious character. What brought On the
collision, was the throwing of an Irishman
down the steps at the east end of the court
house, who had molested no one end not
spoken a word. The man was prevailed
upon to return to the yard, the friends of
law and order insisting that the public
grounds were free to all, and that none had
a right to drive any one away Strong de-
nunciations were expressed against any one
who would do so, and a determination that
mo more such outrages should be perpetrat-
ed After about fifteen minutes, Dr. f. D.
Standeford came, backed by those who were
driving off men, and an alteration was be-
gun between Standeford and Captain Lovel
IL. Rousseau. Standeford fired the first
shot. Rousseau rushed on his adversary
who was sheltered by a tree, and fired as
he rushed. Standeford started, as if stag
gered, in the opposite direction ;:but wbeth-
er by push Of Rousseau's hand or not, we
cannot definitely learn. As he went, Rous-
seau fred again, and Staadefofd, after 60
ing 20 or 80 feet, fell. Rousseau was seiz-
ed by friend, whom others joined, and
taken away.
Nothing could exceed the magnanimous
bravery of Capt L. III. Rousseau. He had
been seeking throughout the day to keep
peace, and all his efforts and wishes were
directed to that end. His brother was
threatened for merely going up to vote at
the Sixth Ward polls. All lovers of peace
and of law and order regret such occurrences,
SO IKE the famous bullying, beating and
fighting Of Bloody Monday. Many Of the
same DULLES who figured at the Sixth Ward
polls then, were the actors in the scenes of
yesterday. We understand that Capt
Rousseau, though badly, is not supposed to
be MORALLY wounded. He and his family
and relatives have the deepest sympathy
from every good citizen.

Swedish Journalist Sentenced to Death
and PardOned on the SCafI0Id.
Mr.. Lindalh, the Editor of the Flede

! Mr. Jindalh, the Editor of the Feeder.
! lqa1kt a Swedish journal, was recently
- ba161aQ death for having published al
66s libel on the character of Hen.
s1e Mendelssohn, prominent Stockholm
Belle. A Stockholm correspondent states
in relation to the young lady:
Every one knows young Henriette
She is eighteen years old, fair hair, of ele.
CANT person, and has eyes Of deep blue and
Of poetical expression. She excels as a
writer in prose as well as of verse, and moth
ing can exceed the grace and beauty Of her
appearance Before the SANDER to which
we refer poisoned her existence, she was
noted for her animation and cheerfulness,
and was passionately fond Of amusement and
especially dancing. Her dancing was ad-
mirable, her manner bewitching, and the
Swedish dialect that she spoke gave an ad-
ditional charm to her conversation. In one
word, she was flower of the land, and
when the news of the SANDER upon her
spread about, she became the object Of uni
versal sympathy, the whole odium Of it fall
ing upon the detractor."
When the day of his execution arrived,
July 2, 1858, this gentleman seemed COM
posed, and said II am going to suffer the
penalty Of death, which deserve however,
it shall soon be made evident that, at all
events, [ was not coward"
He then gave some Of the papers which
were upon lis table to the jailer, giving
him some private Instructions about them;
and, having taken letter sealed with black
from the Bible and concealed it in his
breast, he proceeded with unfaltering steps
to the scafold which was prepared for him.
Twelve witnesses, required by the Swedish
law to be present on such occasion, had al
ready arrived Lindalh's hands were tied
and his eyes bandaged as he arrived at the
foot of the scaffold He, however, main
tanned his elf-possession, addressing those
around him as follows:
Farewell, gentlemen. Take care to re-
port my death and my repentance to those
who were familiar with my life"
Ascending the fatal platform, he had al
ready put his feet on the second flight of
steps, when he felt a pressure, and in
moment bis eyes and hands were set free.
Henriette Mendelsschn stood before him.
Mr.. Lindahl,' she said to him, Il pardon
you" Mr. Lindahl, at once falling upon
his knees before her, and taking the letter
which he had concealed in his breast, said:
Madame, accept your pardon. My last
thought was to implore it of your magnani-
nifty, and felt sure that you would not re-
fuse it, at least to my grave"
This romantic affair has created the great
est sensation all over Sweden.
