Fond du Lac, Feb. ga cold blood
ed and deliberate planned murder was
committed III this city to-day. The
perpetrator was German named Fis-
cher and the victim his wife.
It seems that he had been INDUCING
in his thieving propensities to so great
an extent that some four or five weeks
since she complained of him to the au-
thorities.
He escaped them and has not been
heard of since until to-day, he went to
the house, where she had been residing
since their separation, in company with
another German woman. lie induced
this other woman to go to neighbours
on some errand, and during her alb
sence the deed was perpetrated. On
her return i'll about half an hour, she
found the dead body of Mrs. Fischer
lying across the Threshold of an out
side door with her throat cut from ear
to ear, and at the same time saw the
murderer making for the woods south
on the line of the r. r.
The alarm was Immediately given,
and parties started in pursuit Al
though more than one hundred police
and citizens have been securing the
country In every direction, the wretch
has not yet e P. NJ been arrested
No doubt is entertained that he will be
secured, and should he resist, it is posi-

Mr. Behm's system of instruction is most

has come when the worst and most appall-

combining and preparing them. Four
years trial has fully established the fact,
that Dr. Easterly's Family medicines are the
best and most certain curatives known for
the diseases for which they are recommend

Some misunderstanding appearing to ex-
list with respect to the telegraphic outline of
Senator Trumbulls speech on the Pacific
Railroad Bill, it may be stated that the
Senator advocated the construction of a
road central or nearly central to the popula-
ton and business of the country; and for
that purpose wanted Congress to limit it
within certain parallels of latitude. In re-
ference to his ailusion to the Wing party, his
remarks sought to show that modern Demo-
crazy was supported alike by persons who
had formerly been Wings and Democrats,
while Republicans, In the same manner,
from persons of both the former PARTIES
He asserted that both the present parties
were new organizations, formed in 1854, on
the slavery issue. That modern Democracy
was as much Ia new or anization as the Re-
publican party, and that in taking issue on
the slavery question it is now the only Test
of party fealty. Both parties are made up
| ndiscriminately, without regard to former
olitical associations, ..s.- .-.-.

Navigation of Green River.

Although alarge number of our citizens are
deeply interested in the trade of Green riv-
er, few, we suspect, are aware how Cypress
lively it is taxed by the State, for the use of
the locks and dams. The States improve
ments have been of immense benefit to il,
but the advantages might be greatly en-
HANGED by an efficient superintendent, and
the expense of using them be reduced by
more economical and judicious policy. We
have before us tariff of the tolls paid by
steamers ascending and decehding the river;
and we are surprised that the people to
whom the river is the only avenue for their
heavy trade, have submitted to the Cypress
i've tax upon their industry so long, uncom-
plainiRgly. Every boat ascending or de-
scending pays a lockage of So at each lock
she pays, besides, on pound freight, nine
cents toll on every Toe pounds; on every
cabin passenger over II years old, she pays
81 90; children and servants half price; on
each horse or mule % cents; on hogs or
sheep cents on cattle Is cents; on every
hogshead of tobacco 80 cents; on every
barrel of pork, beefor lard 10 cents on every
key of lard cents; on every barrel or
cask of liquor or molasses ascending 35
cents, descending Is cents; dry barrels 10
cents; grain 3 cents per barrel or sack, not
exceeding three bushels; pig or bloom iron
cents per 100pounds stone coal 7 cents
per ton; stone cents per perch; lumber
Is cents per NJ shingles Is cents per NJ;
cabinet ware, furniture, and all articles
shipped by the lot, pay 25 per cent of the
gross amount of the freight, as tolls.
On the class of boats that are principally
engaged in the navigation of the river these
tolls amount TO sums varying from $500 to
$500 per trip; and the amount paid in the
course of year, by the packets that make
weekly trips, for tolls, is, frequently, more
than the value of the boat and sometimes
nearly equals the cost OF running her
These bdrthens upon their commerce are
paid by the people in the Valley of Green
river, and not by the people who buy their
rich products and sell them their goods
But as all such iupositions have the effect
to restrict trade, and retard the progress OF
the settlement of the country along the
banks of that beautiful river, we have an
indirect interest in the regulations of its
trade, sufficient TO induce us TO do all in ou1
power TO arouse those who directly bear the
burden to reduce it if it be possible The
tolls.on pound freights, to and from Bowling
Green, is one half as much as the whole
freight from New Orleans to this city al
certain seasons. And the tax of a dollar on
each passenger is thirty-threc per cent Of
the price of passage, which is tax enough
to discourage intercourse and travel Now
when railroads are about to come into com
petition with the river navigation, for it:
transportation, the subject should be brought
to the public consideration The power t.
regulate the tolls, is, we believe, lodged
with the State Board of Internal Improve
ments.

The Daily Union Prayer Meeting.
The day has now passed when there is
even a seeming improperly in appearing IN
the secular prints ia advocacy of the spirit
ual interests of che community The press
has led to this desirable result by the notice
it gave of the great revival of the past
year. This revival has not passed away as
many prophesied it would. We still hear
of conversions in all parts of the land In
our own city there is evidently more than
ordinary feelings, in several congregations,
in reference to the salvation of souls
Would there not be a propriety in re-
viving our DAILY UNION PRAYER MEETING
in Crescent City Hail This great awaken
ing has been in answer to the united efforts
of all the churches. If christians are one in
heart, and feeling, and effort, God who loves
good will amongst mankind, will not with
hold his blessing. What says the religious
community to this suggestion. J. j. H.
