SHowERTNG A CONVICT 10 DEATH AT AUBURN
We learn than quite an excitement exists at the prison
III consequence Of the sudden death OF convict Who
vas this morning subject to punishment by the
a shower-bathr The deceased was q colored man,
ana was punished for making demonstration against
the foreman of the shop in which he was to work.
The offense was doubtless an aggravated one and
uerfted reasonable punishment.
But it seems the bounds of reason were oVer'step
ped: The man was placed in the " shower.bath,
and 50 severely punished that he was taken to the
hospital, where he died in very brief period. We
have no disposition to exaggerate the mismanagement
in this case. The affair is bad enough il only the
truth is stated upon evidence,
1t seems he was placed in the stocks under high
state of excitement He escaped from his Keepers
before the shoWering and ran some distance was
hnally overtaken, and after considerable Of tusse
vas overpowered, He was then taken to the STOCKS,
where another struggle took place in order to divest
the convict of his clothes. And it was under this
state of excitement and perspiratiOn that he was
forced into the stocks and at least three barrels OF
water shoRered upon him. Men OF ordinary judg-
ment would have anticipated the danger OF using the
shoWerng process under the circumstances above re-
lated. The pump was used until it was broken, and
after that the water was dipped from the reservoir
in pas the water being almost at the freezing point
Taking the evidence as it stands, with the know
ledge that almost the whole of it is from persons wht
would not certainly eXaggerate the punishment, i
must be admitted that the convict was shOwered Il
death. He went into the stocks healthy, robus
man, and came out, to all ntenta and purposes, dead
They jury stated that they were . not able to de
termine positively yet believe from the evidence, tina
his death was fastened by the punishment"

A New COUNTERFEIT DETECToR.
the most useful thing that any person in busil
ness, can have in these times, is correct and
reliable Counterfeit Detector and Bank Note
List. This want is now to be supplied : :
Messrs. T. B. Peterson & Brothers have Just
commenced the publication of "Petersoae's Phil
adeZphia Counterfeit Detector and Bank Note
List'-a monthly quarto publication which
contains all the information that can be obtain
ed in regard to all Counterfeits, Broken Banks,
and the rates of discount on all the Bank Notes
of the country Messrs. Drexel & Co., the well
known Bankers and Brokers, Philadelphia, will
supervise it and make the corrections in each
number of the list, so that it may be perfectly
relied on, while the well known house of E.. w.
Clark & Co., Commission Stock and Exchange
Brokers, will correct the Stock List. Not being
intended to subserve the purpose of any bank
ing house, as most of the Detectors do, it will
be useful and reliable publication to the whole
business community, and we would advise all
of our readers to remit the price of one years
to the publishers at once for it.
The price is but ONE DOLLAR year. To

From KANsAs.-By telegraph from st. Louis
we have later intelligence from Kansas, the
tenor Of which, it is to be hoped, will be con-
tradicted by more reliable advices. According
to this dispatch, the United States dragons had
summoned General Lane, who was encamped
at Sugar Mount, to surrender, and on his refu-
sal, had attacked bis position. The dragons
were repulsed, with the loss of three men, and
had sent to Gov. Denver for .reinforcements.-
The Free State men were turning out to assist
Lane, and severe and bloody engagement was
anticipated. Gen. Calhoun, the President of
the Lecompton Convention, had fled from the
Territory. We must await further intelligence
before fully crediting these reports, experience
having taught us that it, is safe to discredit at
least half of the Kansas rumors.

OBITUARY.

Died, at Fleetwood. Prince William county.
Va, on Monday. 28th December, Col. WALTER
MUSCHETT, in the e2d year Of his age.
After short and painful Illness this useful ci-
tizen and good man was suddenly snatched from
US. Col. M. was native of Charles county, Md,
and in the year 1900 he removed TO Baltimore TO
engage in mercantile pursuit. which he prose-
cuted with marked energy, ability and probity
until 1855, when he retired from the trials and
excltements Of business to seek the quietude OF a
country fife. Possessing thattrue spirit Of patri-
otism and love for country, which ever burns mi
the true American breast. so soon as the last war
with England was commenced, he closedsehis
counting house IN Baltimore and CALAMITY offered
his services to assist in defence of his countryAs
rights. He was among the foremost in the unfor-
tunate battle at Badensburg where he received
a dangerous wound. was taken prisoner by the
British, but was soon exchanged.a and sent to Bal
tmore totally disabled from again entering that
service which he hadse msgnanmously sought.
He died as he had lived for. many years-a sim
cere Christian, and the numerous friends and re-
latves who mourn his loss are left the consolation
to believe that he is now enjoying the approving
smiles of his Lord and Saviour in home Of
eternal bliss. NJ

small children to mourn her loss She was ever
kind and charitable to the poor. In her last mo-
ments, while graphing with the king of terrors,
she raised her eyes and hands to Heaven and eX-
claimed to those around :--"Peace i wish to
go home to Jesus, the friend of sinners"
Sweet be her rest till He bids her arise

RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS The Of
fcers of the banks in Pittsburg held meeting On
Monday and came to the conclusion that they
were able and ready to resume specie payments
whenever the banks in other sections of Penn
sylyania resumed. Six of the banks in Phila-
delphia report their aggregate circulation at
only $780, 900, while their specie amounts to
Si,H5,5 SAT. The other banks in that city are
specie payments.
