A Man Turns his Family out Of Doors and
Burns his House Down.-Oni Friday night
last, Milton Wright, residing in Manchester
township, Ind, under the influence of liquor
turned his family out of doors; aud then set
fire to the house, which was destroyed. 1t
seems that he had purchased barrel Of
whiskey in Lawrencebarg, and on taking it
home his brother, Augustus Wright, knock
ed in the head of 1t with an axe. This so
incensed Nilsson that he acted as above stat
ed,and to prevent the neighbors who gather
ed in from entering to save some of the
household goods, he stood by with and axe
and threatened to take any persons life who
should make the attempt. For this offence
he was arrested and taken before Esquire
LozieI Gu Saturday, who, after hearing of
the case, bound him over in the sum Of $500
to appear before the Court of Common
Pleas. He forfeited his reeognizance and is
still at large.-Aurora (hd.) Courier.

THE DAY BOOK.

The Union Meeting IN Ne,o Harea.-An
immense Union meeting was held at New
Haven, Conn.,, on the l4th inst. The largest
public hall in the place was crowded to
overlooking, and the patriotism of many had
to find vent in the bitter cold Of the open
air, and even then, says the N. Y. Times,
their ardor appeared to be by no means
cooled. The call for the meeting was origi-
mated and signed by men of all parties to the
number Of three thousand. Hon. WV.
Boardman presided, and among the resolu-
lions adopted was the following
Resolred, That we tender TO the State Of
Virginia our congratulations that by the en-

Speeches were made by Mr. Be ardman,
Thos. Yeatman. 4. H. Bond and Hon Ralph
j. lngersoll. The latter gentleman, in the
course of his speech, remarked that there
were those who approved of John Browns

through two wars, but he never knew of an

sation. Even Everett had been vilified for
his devotion to the constitution and the
Union; Connecticut had been misrepresented
and was it not time for her to speak? After
abiding to the meetings which have beea

to discuss the position which the clergy had
taken. If John Brown was deserving all

Last week, Des Moines was the Mecca for
politicians, and the pilgrims who wendell
their way thither, could in no respect be
likened to angels visits. The town was
crowded, and though the hotels were entirely
inadequate to the accommodation of the as
sembled hundreds, there was no lack Of hos
pitality on the part of the landlords or citi-
zens Of that goodly city. On the contrary,
they made it their especial business to see
that " all and singular" were provided with
comfortable quarters. They obeyed the d.
vine Injunction in taking in the strangers.

son to thank his lucky star that he had fall

All hail to the nominees of the Democrat
ic Party. Well done and faithful, law
abiding and patriotic Democrats Of Iowa -
You have done your duty nobly, and your
actions in the late democratic convention
will honor you wherever and whenever a
member of the party reads the names Of the
Statesmen and patriots that float at our mast
head.-Harrison County Flag.
Our readers know full we'll that no one
but HILL, of the Harrison County Flag, is
capable of doing the thing up in rag, after
that style, therefore we give him the credit
of it, the while we tell him, that the asser-
ton is prepostcrous in the extreme; that the
ticket lately put in nomination by the
Democrats, is composed of "statsemen and
patriots'-it is little the dryest, toughest,
jaggedest, raggedest saw ever run upon any
set of candidates. Draw it milder, HILL,
or your nominees will DO fiat on their backs
with the nausea. Col. DABBITT has already,
We believe, ordered 40 barrels Of vinegar,
which he purposes quafing in half pint doses,
pending the reign Of the eulogizers.-
Judging frem the representative doses OF
panegvric the Democratic press have thus
far prescribed, vinegar will hardly keep hin,
from "casting up his accounts ere the ides
Of October.

We publish this morning Horace Greeley's
remarkable statement, referred to by tele-
graph, concerning the actual condition of
things, and the present productiveness and
extent of the Gregory gold diggings, in the
Pixies Peak country. Of the authenticity
of the document we have no doubt, since 1t
appears in the Rocky Mountain News and
the Times and Herald of Leavenworth; and
as we learn, the people of the border towns
are acting upon it as q satisfactory comm
nation Of the late reported discoveries
Mr.. Greeley, and the gentlemen who unite
with him in the statements that have appear
ed in our columns since the discovery of the
Gregory,diggings, and add a large number OF
new facts. The pointedness and complete.
ness OF this statement, its condensation OF
facts, and the practical good sense at Its
conclusions, mark it as Mr.. Greeley's pro-
duction.
This, we take it, settles the Pixies Peak
question beyond a reasonable doubt. 1t es-
tablishes, SO far as mans observation can
establish anything, that gold exists in pay
ing quantities on tho Eastern slope of the
Rocky Mountains, within an eight or ten
days journey from Chicago. 7 he influence
! Of these discoveries upon the future of the
West can hardly be computed But we can
not forbcar adding our own warnings to
those of Mr.. Greeley against another rush
to the aurferous district this season, on the
part Of those who fancy that gold diggers
can live without eating. The mining region
except as it is supplied from the Missouri or
| New Mexico, is US destitute of bread as the
! desert Of Sahara. Even with the limited
population now in the mines severe Win
! ter, blcckading the roads to these sources
of supply, may bring great suffering and
dcstltul'on to the isolated communities
These warnings will not be without their
significance to those who took part in the
fatal stampede one month ago. Chicago

by MIR. buchanan in bis letter accepting the
nomination, and approved by the people in
