Aystrrious lam.-On the Goth of octo-

county, At The Coroncr's rgucst, it was
discovered that the deceased was in POSSESS
ion of $ie2 in specie, which vas found on

the body was tcana pistol. which was I'm
loaded, With an exploded cap upon it.

Era, that few days since, a human skull
was discovered about twenty yards from the
spot where the dead body was found, which
is now IL The possession Of Dr. Bywatcrs.
A bullet hole was also discovered through
the skull. The impression prevails that the
possen committed suicide, as tic presence
of such large amount IF mercy upon the

that he was murdered The case is Ger

CLERGYM11N In THE BALL ROOM

A correspondent Of the Chicago Press

to attend the dance, thinking to have good
laugh to themselves over it but TO The sur

under full Roadway, four Of the aforesaid
ministers made their appearance in the

announcement was made that the ministers
having been solicited to attend, desired that

EloQuence.

No man can be eloquent il he speaks la.
boriously, because, instead of being carried
away with the subject, the hearers are in
painful sympathy with the speaker. In the
estimation Of some, eloquence is more ties
of physical strength than anything else; i,
is voice and nothing more. 1t is the earn

carries away the hearer. Who ever hearc

P,o occss of Forging Nails.

The various foreign machines hitherto
employed hardly allow the forging, at sin-
gle heat, Of small objects, such as nail for
example. An inveniion, however, has late.
ly been brought forward by NJ. Laurent, Of
France, in,euded to produce by machinery
some objects as are obtained by hand forg-
ing. This result is obtained by presenting
the red hot iron which is to be forged, TO
the point Of ofintersec,ion of four sliding hum.
mets. placed at right angles, and moving at
a regular alternate motion, SO that the rod
TO be forged is hammered on its four sides
without iis being necessary to obtain an al
ternate. rotating motion. In order to pre-.
ventihe two sets Of hammers mstriking
or catchifg with each other in their motion,
the crankel shafts which drive them are dis
posed in such a way that one set is down
when the other set that moves at right ang les
with the first one is up at the same moment.
The striking ends Of fthe sliding hammers
may be provided with roller having a Sc
ries OF stamps engraved on its surface; and
ratchet wheel fixed on the prolonged axle
Of the roller causes the latter to move round
certain extent each time the slider rises up
90 that each stroke given to the rod nay be
struck BY new stamp. A specia feeding
contrivapce. on having been supplied by the
operator with an iron rod for making nail
the end Of which is white hot, brings It un.
der or between the forging stamps which
shape the stem or shank ofthe nail. When
this work is done, the same feeder removes
the rod from the stamps, and directly enga
gee the forged stem into q perforated ,di,
which is brought opposite to it. A cutter al
this moment cuts off from the rod the requi
red length which.is TO prodace the nail
leaving projection out Of the rod for maxim!

FPresident Buchanan was the first
choice of Butler county, and of the third
Congressional district, at the Cincinnati
c convention. We participated in that
preference, and are proud to say that
every act of the President since his in
auguration has strengthened and confirm
ed it. The opposition which he now en-
counters, inside and outside of the Demo
cratic party, reminds us of the onslaught
made upon "Old Hickory in the days
of the United States Bank panic, and
the prompt action of aOl1 Buck in dis
posing of renegades and boo-hoos warrant
the belief that he has taken Jackson for
his model. He could not we'll find a bet
ter one.
Neither wishing, hoping, nor expecting
any fayors from the President, we re-
joice in the free opportunity afforded us
of declaring our belief that HE IS RIGHT
upon the Kansas question, and, so heliev-
ing, we mean to defend him to the extent
of our humble ability-''sINK OR SWIM
We have taken this position after a care
full review of the matter, and upon rising
from the perusal of the speech of Senator
Douglas, which We assume to be the best
showing of the case that can be made by
the opposition.

Tr1aI of Robertson.
RocnEsTER, Jan. L

ROCHESTER, Jan. 10.
The prosecution in the case of John b.
Robertson, who was arrested for an at
tempt to poison his wife, rested their case
this noon. Counsel opened for the de-
fence with a speech of an hours length,
in which he gave an outline of the defence.
They will try to show that young DR..
Beigler, backed by his father, was a CON
spirator against Robertson, and that his
motive was to avoid the payment Of 3d.
500 loaned and expended on his fathers
trial last spring.
Several witnesses for the defence were
examined this afternoon, and among them
were Mrs. Robertson, the wife of the de-
PENDANT, her two brothers, and several
neighbors and relatives, all of whom testi-
fed to the good character of the defendant
and tho happy domestic relations always
exciting between him an6his wife.
Mrs. Robertson swore that her married
life bad been the happiest part of her life
in every particular and contradicted
much of DR.. Beiglers evidence. At the
conclusion fher examination the court ad.
journed till to.morrow morning.
