TERRIBLE MURDER AT LA CRossE.-We learned
from DIR. Workman, who reached this city from La
Crosse yester day, that a terrible and iendsh mur-
der took place near that city on Wednesday last
The Doctor was present at the preliminary exami-
nation before the Mayor of the city, and there
learned the following particulars:
MT. DennlsOn, prominent lawyer of La Crosse,
gentleman of talent and character, in company
with another gentleman of that city, went on the
land OF German farmer to fish for trout. Soon af-
ter arriving on the ground, two daughters of the
farmer came out and ordered them away. Mr.. Den
nlson told them he would pay, and offered them a
dollar for the privilege of fishing. This the girls
refused, and threatened that if they did not leave
their father and brothers would come and ''kill
them"
Mr.. Dennson and his friend continued fishing,
and seon after saw the old man armed with gun,
and two or three young men armed with clubs, ap-
preaching. On observing them Mr.. Dennison start
ed towards them, offering them two dollars for the
privilege ofhshing. No reply was made, but the
Old man attacked Dennison, striking him with his
gun on the head, fracturing his skull and knock
ing him at the same time into the creek They then
set their dogs upon him, at the same time beating
him until he was lifeless aud terribly mutilated-
They also attacked and maltreated the other gen
tleman, but he escaped with barely his life, being
brought into court on bed. Five persons were
arrested and were under examination. Excitement
was intense, and the people La Crosse were talk
ing seriously of lynching them, as they cannot be
capItally punished in that State.

HARD STRUGGLE FOR LrFE.-On Tuesday last
small fishing skF with three persons on board, be-
ing overtaken by storm outside of Cape Charles.
In making for harbor was struck bv a heavy sea
and upset, and all three of the crew were plunged
into the water. Two of them succeeded in reach
ing the vessel, which soon righted and was forced
by the wind into a small inlet. The third, whose
name is Dougherty, after striving for some time to
regain the vessel, and seeing no chance of success
struck out for deeper and more buoyant water, and
after keeping himself afoat among the billows and
breakers for seven hours, was fortunately picked
up by small craft from the north almost exhaust
ed, and taken to Alexandria, from whence he ar
rived here on Sunday in the schooner Jenny Lind

ANOTHER TRIUMPH IN HoRsE-TAMING.-Mr Rarev
had great triumph Saturday in the case of a
beautiful young entire Flemish horse belonging to
Messrs. Merrett, (undertakers, in FinSbury, which
adlately killed groom by kick and was otherwise
such savage as to defy all approach and handling,
much less any attempt to turn him to use. The
horse would not allow Mr.. Rarey to lay a hand ON
him on first entering the ring. After struggle to
occupied nearly quarter of an hour on each occa
sion, Mr.. Rarey succeeded in not only reconciling
the savage to being thoroughly handled from crest
to hind tetlOck, but actually mounted him, without
provoking vince or even a Whitney, though the
been backed before The struggle between human
determination and blind brute force and savage
stubbornness afforded an exciting spectacle, and
Mr. karey may congratulate himself all the more
on the success of his demonstration, as Cruisers
late nip of his groom has set barking the many
who always wait to dog success with deprecia-
tion.

President AND POSTMASTER GENERAL Woshipo-

the postal service, have to state that the Postmas

service, abolish it altogether, upon notice They

BLoNDIN's ExPLoIrs.-A spectator of Blondin's

rash as it seems to be, has its lesson. 1t shows
what physical elevation can do for man; and that
by training, discipline, and perseverance, a man
may overcome his worst weaknesses, and may make
great conquests his internal as over exter-

SECOND Crop OF STRAwBERRIEs.-The Peterson
market is quite pentifully supplied with strawber-
RES, which readily bring six and eight cents per
basket. This is the second or Fall crop, and the
berries are remarkable for their sweet delicious
superiority over the spring crop and the second
bearing season is very prolific, the price is
high The Guardian thinks there is little doubt
but berries could be produced, with care, to supply
the market during parts of August and September,
were the growers to undertake the culture of the
plants for that purpose.
