HORRIBLE RUMoR..-It has been rumored that
Joseph Moss, Of Shelby county, formerly Of this
city) had murdered his own daughter, week or
two since, near his own residence. The partic-
ulars, as near a. we could obtain them, are as
follows, though We do not pretend to youch for
the truth Of the statement:
This man had, for considerable length Of
time, been living with this girl (hs own daugh-
teri 40 . husband. She has been delivered OF .
child (by him) about year previous TO her
death; and was eaciente at the time OF her death.
He wrote letter 70 gentleman oi this city
just after her death, requesting him to have .
grave dug, as he would bury here as soon as she
wds found, which he supposed would be three or
four days at least Another gentleman Of this
city, who has the renting Of . house belonging
TO Moss, wrote to him few days since, request
ing him TO come to Hannibal and get the money
for the rent OF the house. When he came dowl
the next day, and as his tenant could not make
the exact change, they came down town toge.

that they should repair to an alley near At hand
and, while there was arrested by two gentlemen

NoN-CoMMIrTAL.-Some years ago there
was good deal of excitement among the
good people in q certain town in c.
county, Vermont, on the subject of religion,
and almost every man in the place was more
or less awakened to a sense of his sinfulness,
and made public declaration Of his inten-
ton to lead a new life Among the rest
were three of the principal men of the Will
age, whom we will call Mr.. NJ, b., and G.,
who being all present at one Of the meetings,
took part in the proceedings, to the great Joy
OF the faithful, and much to the astonish-
ment of "the rest of mankind then and there
assembled. NJ. rose first, and having made
a general confession of his unworthiness,
said in conclusion, that he had always in
tended to be an honest man, but ii he had
wronged any one he was willing to make all
restitution. b. followed, speaking in pretty
much the same manner, but saying that, as
to restitution, if he had wronged any man, he
was willing to comply with the Bible injuac-
ton, and restore unto him four fold" q.
arose next, and spoke ofhis sins and wicked
ness in quite as strong terms as the others
had done but coming to the restitution
clause, he remarked with caution charae-
teristic of himself "lf there is any man
that have defrauded, shall be most happy
to SIT dorm and talk ii orer rith him

The DOC PoIsoNERs.-Several boys were de
tectsd on Tuesday night and yesterday morning
in the act Of throwing phosphorus about the
streets, for the benefit of hungry CANNES. A
clerk in Mr.. Garthe's Drug Store saw the per-
formance, as did Mr.. Starker, and others. We
consider this kind of operation entirely out OF
sassins may be, we cannot tell; but we think it
would be well to apprehend some Of them, and
shed abroad a wholesome example of discipline.
That We have too many dogs in town, no one
can doubt; but among those, there are some
valuable animals, as well as ours; and We object
to SO indiscriminate slaughter, not only on
account of the decent animals, but also on ac-
count of good order.

Mr. BUCHANAN AND SOME OF HIS WEAK
NEssEs.-The Washington correspondent of the
n. Y. Tribune discusses Mr.. Buchanan's health
and some of his peculiarites Of administration
as follows:-
The President is really worn out and sick,
and begins to feel mis- years seriously. He is
badgered numerically, and the practice which
he has inaugurated, of appsopriating the whole
patronage, in almost every shape and form,
cessariy tends to augment his perplexities and
to increase the demands upon his time. At his
age, Mr.. Buchanan is unequal to these cares
and harassing opportunities, but the love of
power, and the habit OF receiving daily incense
and homage, seem to have so far compensated
for the penalties which they involved. Con-
sttutionally phlegmatic, he does not feel as
most men would do under such appeals and
treats them in the most systematic manner, as
If no consideration but that OF personal policy
was at stake, and it required dchberation to
weigh carefully all the operating influences.
Much comment was lately excited on the DEM
ocratic side Of the Senate upon discovering
that all the recent diplomatic nomination ere
drawn up in the handwriting OF the President
Whether it was his desire to relieve clerk in
the department of state Of this duty, or it was
an adroit method of surprising his cabinet, has
not yet been ascertained, though the latter is
supposed probable, since it is well understood
that they were never consulted. He will pro-
badly retreat TO the Soldiers Asylum, which he
occupied last summer. The doctor thinks he
has all the marked symptoms Of chills and
fever.

Marriages.

The following truthful and pointed r.
marks on the education Of daughters, and on
marriage, we take from the Newburyport,
Miss, Herald, and commend the observations
to whom they may concern
More than foursevenths Of the marriages
in Massachusetts, are among the foreign born.
Why is it? For the most simple Of reasons
the foreign born can afford to get married,
and the native born cannot; and this must
be so long as our extravagant modes Of life
continue. In social life there never was Q
people tending to deeper and more de-
structive social corruption-and that is the
most evident from the records Of all the
courts and the columns Of all the newspapers
than Americans. Our fathers used to tell
OF the profiigacy Of Paris; their children tell
of the mysteries Of New York, q city not far
behind any in Europe. And making proper
allowances for size, how far is n. Y. ahead
OF our other cities and towns2 Once was the
time when wife was a "help meet" now,
in many cases, you can change the "meet''
to "eat' and make it read more truthfully.
We boast Of our system Of education We
have female high schools. female colleges, fe-
male medical schools and female heavens.
Our girls are refined, learned and wise; they
can sing dance, play pianos, paint, talk
French and Italian, and all the soft Ian.
guaSes, write poetry, and love like Venuses.
They are ready to be courted at ten years,
and can be taken from school and marriedat
fifteen, and divorced at twenty. They make
splendid shows on bridal tours, can coquette
and firt at the watering places, and shine
like angels at winter parties. But Heaven
be kind to the poor wretch who marries in
the fashionable circles What are they at
washing hoorsf Oh, we forget; nobody has
bare floors now-how vulgar that would be
What are they at making bread and boiling
beef? Why how thoughtless we are-to be
sure they will board or have servants What
are they at mending old clothes? But there
we are again. the fashions change so often
that nobody has old clothes but the rag men
and paper makers now What are they at
washing babies faces and pinning up their
trousers And here our intolerable stupidi-
ty once more; having children is left to the
Irish ! What lady thinks ofhaving children
about her nowY or if she is so unfortunate,
don't she put them to wet nurses to begin
with, and boarding schools afterwards
We repeat-we have come to a point
where young men hesitate and grow be-
fore they can decide whether they can marry
and afterwards keep clear of bankruptcy and
is the consequence There
are more persons living a single life-ars
there more leading virtuous life2 1t is
time for mothers to know that the extrava-
gance they encourage is destructive of tho
virtue OF their children; all the foolish expen-
dltures making to rush their daughters to

end, teading to destroy the institution of
