Another victim Of Strong DRINK.

On Friday, the 2lst inst, in the city
Of New York, young mad, not quite
nineteen years Of age, was hanged for
murder. He was by the name Of Rod
gers, and had come from the country but
few months before, civil, industrious
and pure-minded boy He unfortunately
fell in company with few fast young
men," and on returning one evening from
drinking house, he carelessly jostled
against an old man, by the name Of
Swanston, on the sidewalk. A few
words passed between them, and driven
on by the madening impulse of liquor,
young Rodgers, without any further
ceremony, gave Swanston fatal stab
with bowie knife. )
Thus, the young and the old, come
alike under the baneful influence of the
grog shops, set up at the turn of every
corner in all the towns and cities of the
land. Law makers decree that if man
commit crime, he shall suffer for it, by
the forfeiture of his liberty or his life,
and at the same time will license the
lowest class Of society's pests to conlinu
ally tempt him. beyond what he is able
TO bear, 10 commit crime. Certain it is
that murder and robbery and crime of al
kinds will continue to flourish in this ant
every other State until the vending o.
Intoxicating liquors, as beverage, undel
all circumstances, be made severely pun
ishable by Statute law.

A Sinpinp Wonse.


One of these little animals inhab.s our
Office. For several years past he has
made his home in il. He has become
very familiar with all hands, and in broad
daylight he can be seen playing around
The feet Of the compositors, or dancing
about The cases, seemingly as little sppre'
hensive of danger as if snugly away in
his nest. The -pastO.oup is llio delight
but he never objects 10 bit of cake, or
fruit, with which his admirers occasionally
supply him. He is a most remarkable
little animal. A piece of cake puts him
in high glee, and when he has devoured
it he gets in corner and sings like a
canary bird, his notes being sweet and
melodeous. Sometimes he will sing fol
an hour without intermission. He is q
general favoriLe--does what he pleases
with impnnily-and is regarded as sort
Of fixture in the Office. Even while we
are writing he is playing on the table,
and is SO tame that he suffers himself to
be handled without any show Of fear.-

A Man who lives on Paving Stones
and Water

There is a man at 20a, Bowery, who
if we believe the placard, does not ask for
Bread and if he did, would be conten,
with stone. The announcement which
stares passers by full in the face is this {:
"The wonder of the nineteenth century!

wonderful man eats nothing but paving
stones, pebbles, rocks, &C., for his break
fast, dinner and supper. He will swallow
a number of large stones in presence OF
the audience. He lives and subsists en-
entirely on the above food, drinks nothing
but water, and has perfect health. Ply
sicians cannot account for this unparallel.

In front Of the establishment is a pile

A DANGEROUS CoUNTERFElT.--We
were shown yesterday, by Chief Of Po-
lice Hague, new and dangerous coun-
terfei, five dollar bill upon the North
Western Bank Of Virginia The general
appearance of the bill is excellent, and
many Of our oldest and most experienced
merchants have been deceived by them.
The conductors upon some of our Rail.
roads have been very badly bitten by
" "shovers" Of this kind of money, and
from all accounts an immense amount Of

Although the bill is of character so wei
calculated TO deceive, ye: the counterfeit
can be easily detected, thus: Upon tht
right hand upper corner IN the genuine

be read without turning the note in th

Another Man to be Hanged.

On Saturday morning last, The jury, in
the case of CHRISTIAN jacob, carged with
the killing of his wife, near Pittsburgh, on
the 30th of June last, returned verdict
of guilty Of murder in the first degree
There are now lying in Allegheny county

sentence Of DEATH. each waiting bis turn
to "feel The halter draw" One of the
execulioners at Newgate, England, on a
certain occasion, pointed out to some visi
tors Il gallows on which he said "six men
could hang, very comfortably" Would
it not be a good idea for the Sheriff at
Pittsburgh to erect similar one in the
jail-yard, SO that be can expedite business,
and at the same time make room for
others. The advocates Of capital punish
ment claim that to hang nsurderers, will
deler others from committing the same
crime. For proof of the correctness of
their position, we refer them to the pro-
ceedings Of The Pittsburgh courts, for the
last year and a half.-(Salem Repub.

VTNHE HOWARD ASSOCIATION, in
l. view of the awful destruction of human
life, caused by Sexual diseases, and the de-
ceptlons practised upon the unfortunate VIC
tins of such diseases by Quacks, several
years ago directed their Consulting Surgeon
as Charitable Act worthy of their name,
to open Dispensary for the treatment of
this class of diseases, in all their forms, and
to give Medical Advice GratiS,to all who
apply by letters, with q description of their
condition, (age, occupation, habits of life,
&c, and in cases of extreme poverty, to
Furnish Medicines Free of Charge. 1t is
needless to add that the Association COM
mands the highest Medical skill of the age,
and will furnish the most approved modern
treatment.
The Directors of the Association, in

Douglas in the South.

The Southern journals which have ia
vored Douglas through his great contest,
are now particularly enthusiastic in his
favor. Some Of them take ground open.
ly and earnestly in favor of his nomina-
tion at Charleston in 1860. OF this
number is the New Orleans Bee, which
says: ..
"To our mind it is now clear that Sen.
ator Douglas will be the nominee Of the
conservative Democrats against Seward
and his satellites. We cannot immagint
that the Charleston Convention will b.
guilty of the inefable folly of selecting
any other aspirant. The fortunes of tht
Democracy are at this time in an ex,
tremely critical state. The prestige o
Black Republicanism overshadows nearly
the entire non,slavehoIding portion of th'
Union. Illinois has repeled the 70,
from her borders. thanks 10 the fnelity
the genius, the eloquence and popularity
of Douglas. His name will therefore b,
the rallying point for all good citizens
and true patriots. He wiH be ardentl,
sustained By the entire South.
The anti-Lecompton Democrats Of thu
North and West, who constitute consid
cradle fraction of the voters, and whose
suffrages in the late elections have beer
generally bestowed upon the opposition
as token Of their disgust at the syste.
matte hostility displayed towards DOUGLAS
by the administration, will most unequlv-
ocally rejoice at the opportunity of eIeva.
ting their great champion, to the highest
Office in the Republic. The nomination
of DOUGLAS will therefore detach from
the opposition material elemen, of that
strength which enabled ii TO carry Penn.
sylvania and New York. With DougIas
as the Presidential candidate, we firmly
believe that Black Republicani8m can be
prostrated-with any other standard bear.
er the Democracy must suffer an igno-
miniOus defeal-and what is a thousand
fold worse, the Union will be imperrilled,
if not dismembered
The Bee again asserts, as its favorite
argument, that only DOUGLAS "cqn beat
Seward, Under his banner alone is there
a hope of breaking down anti slavery,
and preserving the Union"
SEWARD and some other Republicans,
appear to have vie wed the matter differ.

Irishmen and Slavery.

THE Southern Citizen John Mitchell, J
in reply 10 certain STRUCTURES of Richard
Haugh'on and The Nation, thus defines
the position of the Irish Americans with
regard to Human Slavery:
First: Every Irishman in the Southern
States, without exception who can afford
TO buy negroes, straigh.way buys them.
Second; Some of the largest and most
successful planters in the Southern States
arc born lrishmen; and!he finest planta,
tlon tina, has been purchased in America
for many years, with $50 negroes upon
it, was last Winter snd in Louisiana {;
the purchaser was an Irishman.
Third; Not only is there a large
number Of lIish.J0rn citizens atthe South
who own slaves; but most of Southcrn
planters and shareholders, we are proud
10 say, are Irish by descent.
Fourth: Our acquaintance with Irish.
born citizens at the South is very exten
sive and we never met with one of them
VINO Is not Ill favor oil reVlVlng the slave
trade with Africa; save one and he is ;
very large STAKEHOLDER already, and wants
no more.
Eth: Irish citizens at the North
though they have no personal interest il
Slavery, almost universally give thei1
votes to let it alone (Which is all that il
asked of them,) because they have nc
business with it, no responsibility for it
because it exists under the Constitution
by which same Constitution their owr
rights and liberties exist; and because
its enemies have proved themselves to b'
their enemies.
