The correspondent of the (Boston) Journal gives
the particulars of desperate assault with intent to
kill two brothers named Charles and Uriah WEIGH
living near the line of New Sharon, Me. The
brothers lived together, and were awakened on the
night of the 18th inst. by man who had obtained
entrance into the house under the pretext that he
had some fine oxen to sell. As soon as the rogue
was in the house he presented revolver to Charles
and fired three times. Charles fell to the floor
wounded and faint. Uriah, the other brother, next
received the villains attention. Though the re
volver was twice discharged at him, lodging two
bullets in his abdomen, he sprang upon the assai-
ant. wrenched from him cane, and by the aid of
his brother Charles, drove the mscreant out of the
house into the yard, where accomplice was in
out essaying further. The assault was no doubt
prompted by the belief that the brothers had in
their possession large sums of money. l''...s =
1t is but short time since that the register of
death contained the name of Rev. DIR. Taylor, of
New Haven, the originator, many years ago, of
certain peculiar theological views, which have been
known as Taylorism. We have now to record the
death of the Rev. DR.. Tyler, of East Windsor IIil
Ct., who has been prominent in the theological
world by his opposition to the views of DR.. Taylor
When the Theological Seminary at East Windsor
was founded to counterfeit the opinions of Dr. Tay-
Tor, DIR. Tyler was chosen its President, and held
that position for about quarter of century. He
was also formerly President of Dartmouth Col
lege. He died on Friday evening last after an ill
hess OF ten hours, of neuralgia in the breast.

confessed that the murder committed at nine
O'Clock on Sunday evening, in GARDENERS shop
DOwnie came in, took the chair, and resigned him
self to be shampooned. The lather was permitted
to tricke to his eyes, and then the rope was applied
to his neck. His hat was burned in the stove, his
body robbed and thrown where it was found and

employees of Gardiner did the job The remaining

The report of the Joint Committee of the Wis
consin Legislature, appointed to investigate the
charges OF bribery and corruption in the passage of
the land grant bills of 1856, exhibits most astound-
ing developments of fraud and bribery. Almost

for the land grants to the La Crosse and Milwaukee
Railroad received from SIS, 600 to $4,000 worth of
stocks and bonds. Gov Bashford received $50 900
worth. The whole amount given away was $780,
900. ".4
