AHE "OMAN THAT LONED WHISTLING
Some years ago, n tall, gaunt, knock
kneed, red.hcadcd, cross-eyed Iloosier, who
was q hunter Of the classical Wabash, con-
ceived the idea of making visit to the
home Of his progcniturc to old Kaintuck.-
He did so-ranted round amongst the girls
some, and was, of course, from his native
impudence and unearthly ugliness, the Sob
served of all Observers One morning the
whole ncighborhood was astonished with
the news that the ugly Iloosier had eloped
with Mrs. b., m amiable, good looking
woman, wife of Mr.. b., and mother of half
dozen little BPS. For two long years the
disconsolate husband mourned over his un-
toward bereavement: at the end of that pc
riod, however, to his utter astonishment, in
popped Mrs, looking as bright and rosy as
ever. After the first greeting was over, the
injured B. thus addressed his truant spouse:
"Nancy, how could you take up with that
thar onairtbly ugly Hoosier, and leave me
and the children all forlorn, as you did?'-
well, JOSH said Nancy, shat THAR ugly
critter from lndarany was lcetle the best
whistler ever hern tell on. You know l
was always fond of good whistlin'; used
to think you could whistle some, but new
er heerd whistlin' as is whistlin', till | met
that Hoosier-t took my senses clear away,
and follered him on that account. A short
time ago, however, he caught the measles,
and they split his whistlin' forever-the
charm was broken, and so | concluded to
come back to you; but o Josh! that Hoosier
was the awfulest whistler that ever pucker-
ed!'

JOHN wENTW0RTHS PLAN FOR THE
FULL CONVERSION OF DOUGLAS.

John Wentworth, commonly known as
'.Long JOHN in the course of a long edito-
rial in his Chicago Democrat, on Judge
Douglas, says:
ave have always said that Mr.. Douglas
would desert the South when they deserted
him. lie has already taken one step in the
right direction. 1t is in the hands of the
Republicans to decide whether he will take
another. Heis now out Of the Democratic
party. but docs not apparently believe it
himself. Once conv nced of that, and Doug
las will be one of the greatest freedom
shriekers in the United States.
1t strikes us there is n good deal of sound
philosophy in this view of the subject. But
who could have imagined thi to be 'the true
intent and meaning' of the Kansas Nebraska
bill? One way or the other, the Illinois
November election will be charged with
revolutionary combustibles; and let Seward
look to his laurels, if after November
Dougla shall become the greatest freedom
shrieker in the United Stases."-Nep York

peaceful life. But they have not been per-
mitted to live in peace even there. At last
one marauding party, in 1856, was organized
in Texas, and went in search of adventures
towards the new settlement. Of the particu-
lars Of the expedition We have no account.
Only it is known that it returned without
captives, and, rs the Texan papers announ-
cling the fact admitted, "with slightly d.
minished numbers" How long they will
be permitted to dwell unmolested in their
new homes no one can say. Complaints are
already abroad that the escape Of slaves is
promoted by the existence OF this colony,
which receives and protects them. And
when the Government shall be ordered
by its aveholding directory to add another
portion Of Mexico to the area of freedom,
these 'soutrages" will be sure to be found
in the catalogue of grievances to be redress
ed. Then they will have to dislodge again
and fly yet farther from before the face of
their hereditary oppressors. .7s..

The Pioneer Mechanic Shop was the re-
suit of a conviction on the part Of many of our
citizens that Burlington was a favorable spot
for manufacturing on a large scale, and that
an increase Of its manufacturing interest was
essential to the growth and prosperity of the
place. A company was accordingly form
ed. The corner stone Of the structure was
laid on the 4th Of September, 1852, and the
building was occupied one year after. Ii was
of brick, 500 feet long, 60 feet broad, and in
the original plan was to have been three sto-
ries high; another story was added in the
construction. The engine was in separate
building, and was originally Of 60 horse pow
er, and afterwards increased to 100 horse
power and often run up to 1870 horse power
The cost of building, engine and out houses
was 100000, Of which $4,000 was furnished
by the citizens of Burlington as stockholders
OF the company. The remaining $50 900 was
furnished by Mr.. Hickok, into whose hands
the whole property finally passed,
The building is to be Immediately rebuilt

WAsHINGTON MArrERs-

We take the following from the correspon-
dcncc of the New York Tribune.
1.-The Americans of Washington are as
rejoiccd at the result as the Republicans and
the Douglas Democrats in Congress. The
Buchanan men mourn and threaten alternate
ly. Old Buck is very gloomy and indignant.
The whippcrs-in insist that the House must
and will rcccde; but the ant-Lecomptonites
are firm. and all say that the man who yields
shall be branded by the whole phalanx as dis
graced.
Mr. Harris of ILL.,, came in from his sick
room, determined to vote, If it cost him his
life, as it may. He, with Messrs. Hickman
and Chapman of Penn, voted to reject the
Senate bill absolutely.
The Senate has kept back Minnesota with
designs of using itin the present contingency,
and it is not improbable, if the House should
adopt the course suggested, that Kansas may
be put on as rider; but such scheme will
be defeated in the House.
There is a remote possibility that the Sem
ate may hereafter adopt Mr.. Crittenden's sub
sttute as means of saving the party from
total disruption, or from practically suuend-
ering to the Douglas interest. Such advice
has been given from high quarters.
The Administration pretcnds to claim sew
eral Ant-Lecompton Democrats as ready to
surrender ON final test, but with no better
/ authority than that on which rested theii
/ prognostics concerning the result to-day
buchanan is down. and the Cabinet is expect
ed to resign, since it has forced the issue anC

The Administration has been exerting

~ A singular and horrible case of prema-
ture burial occurred near Holland, Pa, last
week. Rev. Mr., Reed, the Presbyterian min
lister of Oxford, while on his way to attend a
meeting of the Presbytery was taken sick
at the house of another minister, and appar-
emily died. This brother minister, in a hur-
ry to get to the meeting, had the body buried
the next day, and did not notify the friends
of the deceased of the fact until his return
from the meeting Several days after. the
coffin was taken from the tomb. to remove it
TO Oxford, when the top of the coffin was
found to be split, the shroud completely torn
of, and the body turned nearly over upon its
face The discovery caused the greatest hor-
ror.
HUNG IN SPITE OF A RETRIEVE. The
Francisco Bulletin states that considerable
excitement was occasionod at Monterey on
the 18th of February, by the execution Of a
murderer named Jose Anastasia. This man
was sentenced, after a fair trial, to be hung
on that day; but on the 10th respite for
Anastasia Jesus was received from the
Governor for thirty days. As there was no
man of that name under sentence of death in
Monterey, and as Jose Anastasia was the on
ly man condemded to die, in tho custody of
the Sheriff there, that officer very reasonably
supposed that the Governor had intended to
respite jose. lie therefore refused to hang
HIM on the 18th. Jose Anastasia having been
regarded as dangerous desperate by the
people OF Monterey, the prospect OF his es-
Gaping the sentence awakened intense excite
ment, and 1t was determined, if the hour
should be passed over for the execution and
he not be hung, that the populace would rise
ana hang HIM themselves. An under Sheriff,
took upon himself the responsibility of car
rying the execution into effect, and thus pre-
vented popular outbreak jose confessed
to two murders on the gallows.
