of a young lady, gained Helen NJ. Kilt
ridge, Of vigorous physical powers, at
Nelson, N. FL. under somewhat singular
circumstances. On Tuesday, the 9Th inst,
she exhibited some symptoms Of the ty-
phoid fever, then prevalent in the family.
Some one proposed as a remedy what is

a moment surrounded by the ascending
hot air, she gave signs Of suffering she
called to her brother who stood near. for
aid, upon whose arm her head fell, in a
manner indicating that her life was de-
parting. She was placed upon the bed,
and an exclamation of agouy, from the
almost frantic mother followed. Her
idolized child-hef beautiful Helen was
dead! Alcohol had been used, and too
much of it the nervous system of the
sufferer seems to have been completely
overpowered. and her whole body was

Gov. Walker In New Jerev.

Hon Robert j. Walker, late Governor Of
Kansas, aFfiFed at Bordeatown on Monday
last, where he is the guest of Col. VIM. Cook,
his brother-in-law. The Register says that he
conyerses freely upon the state of affairs as
they existed during his administration, and
justifies his course in the measures he endeavor-
ed to carry out, and for which he anticipated a
removal, and resigned ; he says that in his
opinion if the Lecompton Constitution is
forced upon the people of Kansas, it viii as
suredly create civil war and that if the q. S.
Dragons interfere the Free State people will
defend themselves against them and will whip
them too ; they are well drilled, have large
quantities of arms and ammunition and are
determined never to submit to such Cypress
ion. Mr. Walker has even seen the IN
of Kansas practising with "Sharp's Rifles
and has no doubt but if their services are re
quired they will go forth to battle. Though
a pro-slayery man himself and voting with that
party in Kansas at the last election, yet the
frauds practiced there during that
election he could not give codntenance to, and
hence the opposition against him.

Death from the Bite Of a Cat.

Mr.. John Abel, of GAINESVILLE, Luzerne Co ,
Pa. died on the morning of the 26th inst, from
the bite of a cat. The circumstances are very
singular. About ten weeks since, he was
walking from the dwelling house to the store,
when he met the cat in the path. He put out
his hand to play with her, when she instantly
flew at him and bit him. He complained a
little at the time, but it passed away and no
more was thought of it. He had at times,
however, a great repungance to water, andthe
mere sight of it caused great shuddering SEN
sation. On Christmas he dined at the Hotel
of Mr.. David Martz, at GAINESVILLE. and appear
ed in usual health. On the morning Of the
26th he complained Of being sick, and at last
took to his bed
He suffered intense agony, trying to bite his
hand which the cat had bitten ten weeks pre-
vious, and exclaiming that the sight of water
made him mad-a raving maniac. His friend:
had to hold him TO prevent his tearing his
breast. Medical skill proved of no avail, anc
at 5 o'clock, on the 9th, Sunday morning, hi
breathed his last.

A Novel way to collect a Debt.

On Sunday last during divine service,
an honest appearing man arose and asked
permission to say a few words. The gen
tleman in the desk gave him permission
to speak, when he said that " he wished
to inform her that he had worked for a
member of this church pointing his fin.
ger at and naming ssthe individually for
three months at thirteen. dollars per
month, and that he had refused to pay
him." The rev. Gentleman then Inform
ed him that it was no place for entering
such complaints but said he would see
what could be done. Many were i'm
pressed with the belief that this was a
better plan than going before a Justice
to collect debts.-Post By.on Gazette.

aay Our special dispatch from Washington

aay- Our special dispatch from Washington
this morning states that the ADMINISTRATION
party in Congress have not at all relaxed their
purpose to force the admissions of Kansas I'M
der the Lecompton Constitution. They are
doubtless somewhat encouraged by the differ
ence between the actual proceedings aud spirit
of the Indians State Convention and the re-
port which first reached US from indianapolis.
It seems that instead Of being controlled by
the Douglas wing Of the Party, it was Nj.
Bright who packed and managed the Conven-
ton. among whose members, it Is said, there
was nc less thar sixty postmasters- Whether
the whole power Of the Administration will suf-
fee TO carry the Lecompton fraud through
Congress may be q question; but we think it
viii. That however, will not be the end of
the matter by a great deal.-N Z, Tribune .

Justice by Mistake.

In Philadelphia, on Tuesday evening,
a thief stopped into a law Office, and slipp-
ed on a valuable Raglan belonging to a
student, with which be departed without
detection. A young man, whose sister
had been insulted by the aforesaid law
student, was lying in wait to fog the Of
fender, and seeing the thief come ont
with the overcoat on, supposed him to be
the victem he was in search of, and gave
him a terrible whipping before the police
man stopped him, or the mistake in the
person was made known by the cries for
mercy on thethief, who supposed the pun
ishment was for his crime. The young
man wno was very much mortified when
he found that he had been fogging acorn

Bad News for our Senators.

We see by the proceedings of the New
Jersey Legislature.-which met on Tuesday
last, that Mr.. Mickle, (Dem.) of Burlington
County. introduced a series of Resolutions, on
the FIRST day Of the Session, instructing our
Senators and Representatives in Congress to
vote against the admission of Kansas as a
State under tile Lecompton Convention.
/. Shonld Mr.. Mickle succeed in getting
through the Legislature his truly Democratic
Resolutions, it viii place Messrs. Thompson
and Wright in an unenviable position, as they
are pledged to the President to go for the Lee
compton fraud. in defiance Of the rights of the
People of Kansas, and all their former pledg-
es to the contrary.

Hesitation.

Hesitatia% is often a sign Of weakness,
ter inasmueh as the comparative good
and evil Of the different modes eff action
about which we hesitate are seldom equal
ly balanced, a strohg mind should per.
ceive the slightest inclination of the beam
with the glance Of an eagle, particularly
as there are cases where thesssspreponder-
ance will be very minute even although
there should be Efc in one scale and death
in the other. 1t is recorded of the late
Earl of Berkely, that he was suddenly
awakened at night in his carriage by a
highwayman who, RUNNING a pistol
through the window, and presenting it
close to his breast, demanded his money,
exclaiming at the same time, that be had
heard that his lordship had boosted that
he never would be robbed by a single
highwayman, but that he should now be
taught the icoutary. His lordship, putt,
ing his hand fin his pocket, replied -
Neither would Lie robbed, If it was not
for that fellow looking over your should
dr. The h~ighwayman turned round his
head. when his lordstip, who had drawn
a pistol from hispocket.instead of purse
shot him on the spot.
As relates to- hesitation, however, it
may be added that it is folly to decide
too quickly, in cases where there is plen-
ty OF time for elaboration.

MIR. vANDoREN ExcULpArED.

The ~subjoined affidavit has been handed to us fer
publication, aud we checrfnlly make room for its in
%sertion. Our intercourse with Mr.. VANDOREN has
been such as to give us a high opinion of his integ-
rity, and we regret that circumstances may have
afforded a semblance OF plausibility to rumors af
fecting him, and which have caused the pI ocurance
of this affidavit. We would be very loath, indeed,
to believe that Mr.. Vandoren had been in any way
connected with the attempted escape of the unfor-
tunate Donnelly:

whatever with said Jail or the Courthouse nor
any person or persons in Freehold, had any coLnec-
ton, either directly or indirectly, in any way what
ever, with my escape from said Jail, on the night of
the third of January, 1858 nor did he, the said
Isaac P, Vandoren. or his family, or any person or
persons in charge OF, or in any way connected with
said Jail or the Courthouse, or any other person or

I made my escape, render me any aid or assistance;
nor did he or they, or any of them, aid, abet, con-
nive at, or furnish, or procure to be furnished, any
aid or means whatever, at that time, or at any time

The Funeral Of Donnelly.

1t was understood. when the remains were
placed in a box and put on board the cars,
directly after the execution that they wereto
be taken to Oakdale Cemetry, at Washing
ton, for interment. Donnelly had undoubt-
edly been told so, and that was his whish.-
They were taken, however, to the residence
of his father in Berum street, near Dean st.
Brooklyn, and thence conveyed, Saturday
morning, at II o'clock, to the receiving vault
ofthe Eleventh street Roman Catholic bury
ing ground in New York. 1t is supposed
that the poor old father will. not long sur
yiye the blow. The sisters are also serious
ly shattered in health. The afliction is
enough, indeed tC kill them.
At l1eo'cloek Saturday morning, the coffin
was placed in the hearse, and about twenty
carriages were well filed with Donnelly's
relatives and friends. when the cortege NOV
ed away, followed by an immense ~concourse
Of people, whose sympathetic feelings being
aroused, denounced the execution of the
unfortunate man, and expressed a strong
belief in his innocence.
The funeral passed over Fulton Ferry, and
as the rumor spread while the body was be-
ing carried to the grave, the excitement be-
came intense; hundreds passed around the
hearse to get look at the coffin, which was
of plain mahogany, with a silver plate upon
the lid, bearing the name and age of the
deceased.
Thus, says the N. Y. Dispatch, ended
one of the saddest tragedies in real life it
has ever been our lot to record.
