A Novel Way of Obtaining Pardon,

A letter from Springfield, Ill, dated the Sth
inst, has the following account Of very singu-
lar affair:
Mr. Buck master, Warden of the penitentiary,
arrived here at noon to day. in great haste. and
Immediately went to see the Governor for the
purpose OF obtaining pardon for convict in
the penitentiary. Mr.. B. stated the following
facts rms morning, when one CT the guards of
the penteniary opened the door Of the cell of the
convict, whose name is WIN. Lindsey, be was
knocked down by Lindsey, who dragged him
into his cell, bound him hand and foot. aud
fastened him up against the door of the cell by
this means covering the small aperture in TIA.
door with the body of the guard. Lindsey had
possession Of a knife-which be obtained by
some unknown means-with which he threat
ened the life OF the guard, unless pardon was
lmlnt diately obtai ned for him Lindsey Mr.
Buc kmaster believing he would put his threats
into execution, got aboard special train and
agreed to send down pardon by to- 2 hts mail
ana AR. Bnckmaster departed again upon his
The pardon has been issued, and will be sent
down Tonight. We presume Lindsey will not
receive the benefits Of the pardon, if il can be
avoided How il can be avoided, no one knows
Inc only way to get into the cell is by the door,
and Lindsey threatens to kill his man. if any
effort is made to release him How the matter
will end, remains to be seen. Lindsey was sent
to the Peniten'iary last October, from Champaign
county, for robbery. He followed an old man
from Indiana, and robbed him in Champaign
county of s. 600; he was tracked back to Indiana
and captured. He is represented as desperate
LArkR.-A telegraphic dispatch from Alton
gives the following account Of the close Of this
most extraordinary affair
Mr. Buckmaster, the warden, had dinner for
the prisoner and his victim placed in the hall in
'front.' OF the cell, in larger utensil than usual
The prisoner ordered the turnkey to open the
door and get it. To do So he had to open the
door some twenty inches, hen one Of the guard
grasped Cra6be's hand and attempted to haul
MIN out OF the cell. The prisoner then sta bbed
the turnkey nine times In the back two of the
sta6s penetrating to the lungs. Buckmaster then
nfeo one shot into the cell, to confuse Lindsey
ne then nred i've other shots the two last ones

the other In the back Of the head-enteriny back

skmii, and then coming out. He was left In the
cell 10 die, but was afterwards taken out and re-

CONGRESSIONAL.
Thirty. fifth CsnSress-Firs, Sessfsu.

In THE SENATE, yesterday, after Mr.. Chandler
had closed his speech in opposition to the Kansas
bill,
Mr.. Hunter advocated the bill rs LEGAL and the
most speedy plan of settling the disturbances In
Kansas - "a - 80 =
Mr.. Kennedy followed also In ad yoeacv of the
bill, and against the agitation Of slavery -
M. Wade obtained the floor, when the Senate
adjourned.
In THE HousE, after the chairman had finished
stating his appeal, Mr.. Harris replied at length,
stating that he had made the proposition to the
House relative to the Kansas committee from .
conviction that IL was his duty to do so
Mr.. Stephens Of Georgia replied, and fully an
swered the arguments Of Mr.. Harris as to his
right and duty. E.s -Eet -
Considerable discussion ensued, and was par
tcipated in by Messrs Stanton, Grow, Winslow,
Davis Of Md, English, Quitman, washburn Of
Me, and others. This was conducted at times
In disc derlv and excited manner, but general
ly good temper prevailed.
Mr. Harris finally said that he had taken his
appeal In the consciousness that the decision was
wrong, and ought to be reversed by the House.
Still rsserving the same right to make his report
whenever the report of the gentleman from Geor
gia should be made, he withdrew his appeal from
the decision Of the Chair, without consenting to
the presentation Of the report of the majority.
Then the House adjourned till Monday.

In the first seagon after planting, each tree
should have good mu!ching, extending at
least two feet from the stem all round. This
mulching may be Of grass-whlch We like very
much-fne shavings, light long manure, hay
saw-dust or spent tan. This mulching should
be renewed
Apply it early--It should DO done now, and
repeated whenever it may become necessary
through the season. when grass is used, IL
will require to be renewed several tines
The mulching and roots OF the tree should be
moisteued once a week in the absence Of rain
4 little salt mixed with the water-a pound
or two to the bucketruil, will be au advantage
Dry summers are very destructive TO young
trees of all kinds, unless we'll mulched, and
when this is properly done, not one in hun,

Dr. Underwood said ~ think VINEYARDS

any other fruit, for they do not blossom until
after the late spring frosts. The Isabella

finely puIverlsed to the depth of at least
eighteen inches and uuderdralned | make n
tre!l!s by planting posts twenty feet apart

enough to give slight motion TO the vines
when the wind blows. NJ ildew does not

the vine to grow too fast with hot manures

not admit OF free Circulation Ct the air
Ihe vine needs the fullest exposure to the
winds possible. To plant them in position.
