CRIME AND CAsuALTIEs.-Mr. Hiram Todd, q
respectable farmer in Mortified, Conn, wai
stabbed and killed on the 10th by his son Mer.
rett Todd, in a quarrel. The son had formerly
been deranged, and was for time in the Asy'
Ium at Hartford. 1t is thought his mind is still
unsound.
Two young men named Cummings and Hen
derson, at Flamborough, Canada West, were
sufocated few nights ago in a small bed room
in which they were sleeping, and in which they
had placed an iron pct containing about three
quarts of pine coal taken from the stove
Two Irishmen were killed at Lowell, Mass
on the Goth, by gas explosion in the fifth
story of the picker building of the Massachusetts
Company, which blew out the solid end wall
of the two upper stories.
Alfred h. Hafford, SON Of Mr.. James d. Haf-
ford, of Fremont, aged 20 years, fell from the
roof of Mr.. Minis block, distance of forty
feet, on the 10th. He struck upon his right
knee and left foot. The right leg midway be-
tween the knee and hip was broken, the bone
penetrating through the flesh and into the ground
two inches He survived SO hours. Young
Hafford was much respected in Fremont.
Mr. Robert Leper, aged about go, residing in
the vicinity of Marion, Ohio, was thrown under
some wood he was heuliug on Thursday, and
not being able to extricate himself his head sank
into the mud and water until he was smoth-
cred.

pike Peak Gold Mines.

Mr.. H. J. Graham, the Delegate elect to
Congress from the seif-constituted Territory oi
Laramie, gives fattering account of the coun-
try and the gold prospects. The gold district
is extensive, and the entire country is aurfer-
GUS. He went to the mines from Iowa in Sep
tember, took two experienced California miners
with him, and engaged in prospecting. His
statement is that painful of earth taken from
the gold bearing stratum, which is to be found
almost anywhere at depth ranging from six
inches to twenty feet, will always turn out
more or less of the dust. Mr.. G. describes the
country as fertile. The grasses grow in great
luxuriance, though there is no rain after June.
This will prove drawback to some branches
of agriculture, though Mr. G. thinks wheat,
potatoes, and other escuIents will do we'll
From one to two thousand persons will winter
at the mines.
The private letters from the Kansas and Mis-
souri, miners who went to Pixies Peak, the
Platte, and Cherry Greek early in the fall, cor
roborate the gold reports of the first discover
ers. The richness does not consist in nuggets,
but in fine drift gold, which, with the rude i'm
plements used, will require labor and patience
to "make pile"

steam on the Canals.

The Board of Public Works have informally
given their consent to VIM. Deuel., of Franklin
Mills, Portage Co, to construct and run steam
propeller on the Ohio Canal, the wheels to be in
accordance with model deposited in the Office
of the Board, and the speed not to exceed foul
miles an hour. Mr. Deuel. asked the privilege
of running toll free, but this the Board could
not grant, as the law expressly provides that
none but boats in the service of the State can
navigate the canals without paying tolls.
1t is claimed by Mr. D. that his wheel viii cut
up and eventually rid the canals of the long
grass which is now such great pest; ifit will
do this, the State might well allow him to run
toll free. But from the formation of the wheel,
we should be of the opinion that it would clog
with grass and become worthless as propeller;
it has the form of the wheels used on the Lake
propelers, with the addition of rim around the
outside, forming boxes between the paddles,
into which the grass can easily lodge. We
hope, however, that the invention may succeed,
and accomplish all its originator claims for it.

The War in India.

The English papers by the Arabia, contain
details of the India news, which show that there
is still much fighting with the rebels, attended
with great loss of life on the part of the rebels,
who are killed like sheep, while the loss of the
British is very small. Three engagements in
Dude are reported, one with a body of 10000
rebels, one with 5000 and another with 1000,
in which, of course, they were defeated and
suffered considerable loss before they fed.
In Bengal, on the 10Th of OctObsD body of
400 rebels was attacked and 500 of them kill
ed. On the 24th of October, Colonel Walker
attacked another body of 1000, and killed 1900
of them.
In Central India, on the 18th October, Gene
raj Michel surprised the rebels under Tantia
Topee, killed 400 of them and took all their
guns. On the 25th, the same general inter-
cepted another body of 5000, who Immediately
threw away their arms and fed but 600 of them
were killed before they could escape. Michel
was in pursuit of the remains of Tantia's army,
which consists of 7U00 men and 20 elephants.
Five thousand rebels, with four guns, at
tackled Chabrowdie, British station in Dude
on the 23d October; the rebels were Tepulsed
and pursued for six miles by the cavalry. They
lost about $50 killed, and all their guns, while
none were killed on the British side
On the Goth, Col. Turner'S column fell in with
the fugitive rebels from Judgespore, at the vii
lage of Sakrieta, which was carried at the point
Of the bayonet.
In all these engagements no mention is made
of any prisoners, and it is probable no quarter
was given.-BOStOa TTGU.

The Next Census--southern Obiections.

Some of the Southern Members of Congress
urge that the next Census shall be confnet
simply TO an enumeration of the people-tha
the important information and statistics gather
ed by the census takers of 1850 shall be Ignored
by the census-takers of 1860. The Albany
Journal in its terse way puts the real objection:
of the Southern Members into paragraph,
thus -
The Census is not gratifying document tC
the Stakeholder He reads there that Free
States are thrifty and prosperous. He read:
that his own acres are barren His harbors de-
serted. His churches of stunted growth. His
schools decaying. His Colleges feeble. His
Factories scanty and poor. His Shipping no
where. His Paupers abundant. He reads how
the finest tropical regions, coming under his
sway, remain swamps and wilderness, while IN
der the magic hand of free industry, rugged
Northern ''deserts blossom like the rose" He
reads unpleasant contrasts under the head OF
"bushels to the acre" and inhabitants to the
square mile" He reads ugly facts under the
head of persons unable to read and write. y
He reads there, in short, how he is shifting his
own land with a curse, while his neighbors are
crowning theirs with blessing. And what is
worse, all the world reads it there, as well as he
He has good reasons for not wanting another
Census printed
The contrast presented by the census of 1850
IN the States Of Michigan and Arkansas illus
trate forcibly the Southerners objections to any
thing beyond bare enumeration. or even that,
ifthe Constitution did not require that the peo-
pie should be numbered every ten years. Mich
igsn and Arkansas were admitted into the Un-
ion in 1886. Then Arkansas was the most
POpulOus. But in 1910, Michigan had outstrip-
ped her Southern sister The census showed a
population Of 2L2 ,267, all freemen, in Michigan;
and 1859 freemen, l9, ,935 slaves, in Arkansas.
Arkansas continued to lose ground each day,
and in 1850 Michigan numbered 500 ,374, all
freenen; Arkansas l62, ,797 freemen, and A, 900
slaves. In 1920, Michigan then Territory,
was behind the Territory of Arkansas about {, :
900; in 1850 she was was ahead 267, ,497 The
census of 1850 will show still greater disparity
in numbers:
Other census statistics are equally humiiating
to people "ardent as a Southern sun can make
them" The census of 1850 shows that while
in Michigan 81 to every one hundred can read
or write, one in every IL of Arkansas adults
cannot read or write. In 1856, Michigan had
20 patents issued on new inventions. Arkansas
not one. In 1850 Michigan had ffty-eight
newspapers and periodicals, with circulation
gilmore than three millions; Arkansas had but
nine, with circulation of about three hundred
thousand. Michigan had 900 miles of Railroad
in 1850; Arkansas none. Michigan's annual
product amounted to $40, 100000; Arkansas to
but 100000. Census statistics are great bores
to Slave Representatives.

supreme Court of Ohio.

TUESDAY, Dec 81, 1858.
The State of Ohio, on the relation of Jas. W
Ride u.s. Daniel Lynch, Treasurer of Libert,
township in Seneca county. Motion for per
emptory mandamus.
BRNkERHoFF J., delivered the opinion of the
Court.
Where a township board ofeducation had re-
solved to sell the old site of sub district schoo
house, and had purchased new site, and, mott
flying the local directors of the sub-district OF
their action in the premises, instructed them tC
sell the former, and to build new school house
on the latter, and the local directors, disregard
ing such instructions, proceed to build new
school house on the old site and keep up g
school therein, Held
l That the local directors are guilty Of such
insubordination and neglect as justify the town
ship board of education in exercising the powers
and duties which would otherwise devolve on
the local directors, and in building school
house on the new site and employing teacher
therein; and such teacher is entitled to be paid
his wages out of the township treasury on the
order of the township board.
2. The fact that prior to the issue and service
of an alternative writ of mandamus to compel
the township treasurer to pay the order afore-
said, the term of office of such treasurer had
expired and all the funds in his hands had in
good faith been paid over to his successor in
office, is, as to him good answerin law to the
alternative writ

singular Wills.

A AGerman apothecary named John Kilingling,
of penurious habits, who has resided with his
sister at Lebanon, Warren county, Ohio, for
years past, recently died. 1t was generally
known that he was wealthy, and on his death It
was found that his property in this country and
Germany amounted to the large sum of $780,
900. By his will it is provided that the money
shall be deposited in bank, the principal never
to be touched, but the interest to be devoted to
the education of the Protestant Germans in this
State. He was fifty years old. and formed no
friendships. His sister was his only companion
She is alike penurious, and is possessed of great
wealth.
The Boston Traveller publishes the volumin-
GUS will of Augustus Thorndike of that city
He left an estate of half million, and because
his daughter, aged 81, married against his will,
he treasured his hate so that he not only re-
pulsed her from his dying bedside, but cut off
his child from any participation whatever in his
accumulated wealth. Referring to the will the
Traveller says ''it is absolutely terrifying to OBJ
serve the careful malignity with which, through
out the document, he provides for the carrying
out of his almost demoniacal purpose. The
mother is forbidden to give aid to the child of
her love; the brothers and sisters are debarred
from the exercise of their fraternal affection; all
who are named in the will are subject to the
same penalties. Old Harvard has donation of
900 for Professo1ship of Music, but with
like provisions if copper should go to aid the
pros ,ribed couple or their children. A pittance
of S400 per annum, to save the law, is alone
awarded to the discarded ones His wife is lib
orally provided for, but only on condition that
she remains widow. A pew is left to her in
Trinity Church, but with liberty to sell it and
purchase in any other church, if she may desire
it. On that point iberality is apparent not
manifest in other portions of the will"
The husband of the offending daughter is
man of excellent character, and holds high po-
sition in community. They have several child
rem The strange will, OF the stranger parent,
which was prepared only about a month previ-
Gus to the death of the testator, shows that a
son had also offended his father by contracting
a marriage without his consent but in that case
the father contents himself with cutting off, as
far as possible, the relations of his sons wife
from any participation in the division of the
property.

JEWISH DISABILITIES IN NORTH CAROLINA
North Carolina is the only State in the Union
that excludes Jews from holding offices of profit
or trust within its limits. Many Intellectual
efforts have been made to remove this proserip-
tive feature from the Constitution Of The State
and resolution to this effect has engaged the
attention of the Legislature now in session, but
has failed to receive its favorable action. The
House Committee to whom the subject was re.
ferred have made singular report, which ad-
mitting that the proposed reform is desirable,
and that the restriction upon the Jews is bigOted
and unjust, and contrary to the principles of a
republican government, nevertheless deem it
inexpedient to alter the constitution by legisla-
tive enactment in any particular whatever, be-
cause, as they say, the people of the State have
expressed no desire for change

following:
A sharp collOquy, in which high words were
used on both sides, took place to-day, during
the secret session, between Senators Toombs of
Georgia, and Mallory, of Florida. The dis
pute on the subject of the naval nOmina-
tions.
The first appropriation bill of the season was
passed to-day. 1t was for the Military Acade-
my Mr. Stanton, of Ohio, showed that, al
though so much had been said about the frugal
ity of the Ways and Means Committee in re-
trenehing the expenditures, this bill appropria-
ted S50OOO more than the estimates of the
Administration, and $4,000 more than was
done last year.
Mr. Morris, of Illinois, Douglas man, at
tackled the Administration with considerable
vigor to-day.
1t is intended to make Commodore Stewart
an Admiral, the title to expire with his death
A majority of each of the two parties voted
for the pension bill to-day. A large number of
those who so voted privately hope that the Sen
ate will refuse to pass the bill
