F1END1sH OUrRAsE.-The Pamela Miss Star
gives the particulars of fendish outrage COM
mitted upon youth of that county. The Star
SAYS:
On Monday last youth thirteen years Of age,
named Robert Marion Jackson Parkmzn, who
is said to be q son of DR.. Parkman, killed by
Prof Webster, in Boston, sume eight years
since, came into town, and complained that he
had been most outrageOusly whipped BY his
mother We examined the boy more than oLee,
and found his whole body, from head to foot,
dreadfully excoriated. His shoulders were pur
pie from the infection by switches and sticks,
applied by the vixen who claimed to be his
mother. Her name is E. J. c. Northrup, wife
of John T. NorthruP, ship carpenter, late of
New Orleans
The outrage committed upon young Park
man was Of most diaboGcal character There
was hardly the space of an inch upon his body
without bruise After he had been whipped
all day by Mrs Northrup, he was chained by a
fastening around his ancles, with q lock upon If,
and turned loose. Mr.. Clinton Alexander, q
noble, generous hearted mechanic Of this coun-
ty, passing along the road on the other side OF
the river, saw the boy, and at once relieved him
from his shaekles, put him on his horse and
brought him to Pamela and offered him protec-
ton. The youth is 4 step-son Of John T.
Ncrthrup, and a son Of Mrs. Northrup and a
man bv the name Of Parkman, whom the youth
does not recollect. She has now a third hus
band, and the much abused boy is her only off
spring. The crime alleged by the woman, Of
rather virago, was that the boy had stolen sixty
dollars from her, but there was no proof shovI
to substantiate the accusation,

Cen. Lane Acquitted.

The examining Court in the case OF Gen.
Lane for the murder of Col jenkins, consisting
of three Justices, after patient and full inves-
tigatiOn of twelve days, rendered an unanimous
verdict of acquittal. The decision of the Court
was to this effect;
In making out case against the defendant
it was necessary, first, to prove that murder
had been committed and, secondly, by Gen.
Lane. The prosecution had failed TO establish
the first They were unanimously OF the opinion
that no murder had been committed; and as
the Territory having failed to establish this
primary fact, the only charge contained IN the
affidavit, the defendant, Gen Lane, was accord
ngly discharged.
This announcement caused loud and genera
stamping of feet among the crowd, and othel
demonstrations of approval, which lasted until
checked by the Court.
/ Gen. Lane rose, and said that he felt 1t due
and he demanded il as a right TO himself anc
family, to be allowed to enter into recogniZane'
for his appearance at the U. s. District Court
in the event Of an indictment by the Gram
Jury, to answer any charge, connected witt
the homicide. that might be preferred against
him. Their Honors we're Free State men, anC
this fact, however unjustly, would be alloweC
to have Influenced his acquitiaL He desired
to be tried by Pro- Slavery Judge, and Pro
Slavery jury; and he, therefore, hoped The
Court would accept his recognizance.
The Court declined aeceding 10 his request
owing to a doubt as 70 their power so TO do af
ter their decision.
Gen. Lane then retired, and was warmly re
ceived by his friends outside.

A most singular proposition is now before the
Legislature of Mississippi, in the shape of a
bill to incorporate the /" African Labor Impor-
tation Company This Company, in the
words Of the bill, shall have the right to i'm
port, CT procure TO be imported, in the State Of
Mississippi and for the purpose OF industry,
native African negroes Provided said negroes
shall be held bound and obligated by negotiable
labor obligations, to work and serve for the ben
eft of the holders OF owners of said labor-obli-
CATIONS for the full term of twenty-nine years,
running from the date or within eighteen months
previous to the date OF the importation Of said
negro-laborers The ingenuity of this scheme
will be appreciated when We reflect that the
laws ofthe United States prohibit the imPorta-
ton Of free negroes. It IS eOntended that the
negroes mentioned above would neither be
slaves nor freemen, because they would come
voluntarily, bound to involuntary labor. The
gentleman most prominently interested in this
scheme, Mr. Hughes, writes to the paper that
it is entirely feasible, he having "letters from
highly intelligent and practical gentlemen now
in the slave trade to that effect" He adds /:
The services Of gentleman sminently qualified
have already been procured to go to Africa and
inspect the enlistment and Recommendation Of
the negroes, so that there shall be complete
conformity TO the United States laws" But
supposing the plan Is adopted and negro un-
der it lives out the twenty y-nine years. what then
becomes of him He is to be elevated into
slavery" frankly says this brilliant lawgiver.-
What the prospects of this scheme are we do
not know, and we therefore dismiss it for the
present, with the citation Of one of the argu-
ments presented, which reaches beyond indi-
vidual profit
Politically II affords an enormous advantage
For as federal representation is nov arranged,
only three-fifths Of the negroes are counted,
because slaves In the coming census enum-
Grafton, negroes " bound in service for term
of years, will count not as three-htths, but as
one each Constitution, arti;le /, section 2,
clause 81 If Mississippi is prompt and ener-
getic, she may, under the census Of 1850, be
entitled to Hine instead Of fire Representatives.,
and enjoy the superb fame of having had the
practical courage, wisdom and goodness to in
augurate the only measure to restore the bal
ance of power between the North and South"
Our Northern Democracy should prepare to
"acquiesce' inthis scheme.-SPrngkeld Mass.) }

Making Ice by Steam

A Mr. Harrison has a machine working in
Red Lion Square, London, driven by ten-hOrse
engine, which turns out ice at the rate of {, ,OOC
pounds day. The Y Y Evening Post thu.
describes the machine
The refrigeration, as we learn from recent
number Of an English journal, is produced by
the evaporation Of ether in a vacuum and the
peculiarly Of the invention consists in the
arrangements for evaPOrating the ether at a low
temperature, and condensing It at higher,pre-
cisely the reverse of ordinary evaporating pro-
cesses The ether is contained in air-tight YES
sells, relieved from the pressure of the atmos-
phere. The cylinder in the center Of the sppa-
ratus is filed with valves, so that each stroke
of the piston withdraws a quantity of ether
vapor from the left-hand vessels, and forces II
into condensing vessel on the right hand
Where the yapor is raised, an intense cold is
produced; where it is condensed, correspond
sng degree Of heat is evolved. The ether,
after resuming the liquid state, returns by a
self-regulaiing valve to the eyaporating vessel,
and tho process thus continues Uninterruptedly,
without requiring any attention, and without
the slightest waste of material Indeed, as the
pressure inside the vessels is less than the out
side atmospheric pressure, it is an impossibiily
that any ether can escape.
The evGporafing vessel ia simply tubular
boiler This is not a miSnomer, for the ether
actually boils in it at temperature (f required)
fifty degrees below the freezing point The
cold is utilized by means of stream of salt
water, which does not itself freeze at the tempe
rature required for ice-making, but carries the
cold to the vessels containing the fresh water
intended for conversion into ice. This part Of
the apparatus consists Of a trough twenty feet
in length, fitted up with sixty-one freezing
mouds, over the outside surfaces of which the
cold salt water eirculates in continued stream.
After having thus parted with its cooling pow
en- it is returned 10 the refrigerating vessel and
again passed through the tubes of the boiler =
There is thus continued and regular eircula-
ton of this fluid, similar to that of the ether the
whole bearing a remote resemblance to the
double circulation of the blood. Its found that
the number of freezing mouids is not nearly
sufficient, and that the machine will be worked
with more advantage ifthe number be doubled.
The ice thus formed can he made Of any
shape and thickness, The whole expense Of
the process is that of the motive power. In the
process itself there is no waste or expenditure
Of ANYTHING but water. It is said that ten shll-
Iings ton will include all the expense with in
terest on capital, &c. 1t is proposed TO cool
rooms in the summer by the passing tubes of
this iced water through them, as steam or hot
water is passed through factories IN the win
ter.

Hon. PHLExoN BL1ss.-Since this gentle
man has been in Congress, we have marked the
course Of the Representative Of the Loraln DIS
trict with great pleasure. A man of ability
he has borne himself as becomes one fitted for
his station He has made no splutter and fuss;
but has applied himself as man Of business to
the labors of his vork-careful of small matters
and vigilant Of great interests. As a new men,
Der he applied himself at once to details, but he
seems never for a moment to have lost sight OF
the complex Of his duties. While carefully
guarding the peeuniary interests OF the state, he
has not forgotten that man, as moral being,
was the great matter-that human happiness
was the mission of the state and that the Leg
islstor's first great duty wss to guard the
rights of the weak against the isrORgs of the
powerful. Mr. Bliss has been practical man
in the character of the elevated philanthropist-
His talents are Of high order, while his Pollt-
ieal morals have been pure and he has made
record on the journals of Congress, that very
few will equal and still less excel His constit-
uents will consult wisely with their own
interests if they re-nominate him -AShta5aia

THE NORTH AMERICAN BUFFALO.

This animal is said by chIoniclers to
have been found in all the Atlantic, Gulf
and Lake States, at the time of their dis
covery and Exploration by Europeans.
1t abounded in The present States of Mis-
souri,, Kentucky, Illinois and Ohio as laie
the year 1880. 1t has been supposed by
some writers 10 have roamed over the
grassy plains of Oregon and California,
and even as far down as the Southern
termination of the valley of the City of
Mexico. and on the means of Chy hyhuahua,
Durango and Sonora, lateral TO the Sier-
ra, Madere of Mexico.
Its present range is now confined be-
tween the latitudes of Lake Athabasca in
60 degs. North, and that of Matamoras
of the Rio Grande in 26 degs. North. or
covering a superficial extent of over two
hundred and forty millions Of square
acres. The most of this range is land
of grass and prairies, cross by numerous
streams OF plentiful water flowing from
the Rocky Mountains to the Mississippi
and Gulf of Mexico; and forming one OF
the most pastoral countries in the world,
capable of sustaining millions and mill
lions of beasts fiji for the use of man.
Many attempts have been made to do
mesiicate the buffalo, the most Of which
have succeeded when the animal was
raised from the calf. This has been ef-
fected in Missouri, Kentucky and Texas.
If the buffalo COW is crossed with a
bull of the domestic species, it brings
forth, it is said, a fine breed of draught
cattle; the meat of which is said 10 be
much superior in favor to ordinary
butchers beef. IF the domestic COW is
crossed with the buffalo bull, mother ma
ture puts the female into such agonies,
that death ensues the process of delivery.
1t is certain by very singular that the
enierprising settlers of the West have
never succeeded 10 tanning some of the
immense droves of the buffalo which visit
their neighborhood every year. One
would think that a company of mounted
frontiers-men could easily try the expert
ment among the hundreds of thousands
which come down annually over the
eastern prairies and Immediately into the
track of the Pacific emigration. The
new Territory of Kansas is much better
adapted 10 tanning aud raising buffaloes,
Than to form campaign grounds of hostile
sectional Americans, who can certainly
never conquer each other, with all the
.Sharp's rifles and Colts revolvers in the
world. Try it, my valiant Bellicosties-I
your wranglesoue en'rgies will be ex-
hausted on beneficial purpose.
