The Times says the Senate OF Nicaragu a

citizens of Santa Fe and the Masonic fraternity will
subscribe at least nine hundred dollars in addition.
On Wednesday Don Joaquin Larribe, who had Just

the matter wis investigated before Judge Benedict,

A Runaway Steamboat going 1t on Wooden

Previous to starting however. two legal gentlemen
in the anticipated grand onslaught upon the Wenona.
The Mayor, however, declined to "put his foot in
it," but stated the probability of his interference in
case the peace was broken by either party. The
conference with the Mayor was not satisfactory and
the legal gentlemen left. They were Joined by two
gentlemen connected with the Central road noted
for the "pluck' and " some on the muscle, backed
by at least thirty men, consisting of draymen truck
men, porters etc. bearing handspikes, draypins etc
All being in readiness, the Hawkeye proceeded on
her journey.
Old captain Florer, happening out on the guards
of the Wenona observed the Hawkeye approaching
and anticipating her arrival had not been idle. liz
| drummed up some twenty five men, armng the
greater portion of them with old flint muskets some
| of them with no locks; others were armed with old
rusty sabres. Captain Florer gave orders for every
man to take stateroom and not to show himself till
| the signal was given.
The Hawkeye came up close, and the leader of the
formidable party on board sung out" We have come
to pull this boat off and take her back to Pittsburgh"
Captain F: "All right; what assistance can give
will be at your service The Wenona was soon afoat,
lines were attached, and all was in readiness for
trip back to the city. Captain F, stepped down to
the boiler deck and with two strokes Of his Ratchet
severed the line. Simultaneous with this, the men
rushed from the stae.rooms OF the Wenona and with
ponted guns and drawn sabres overawed the Hawkeye
party, who took refuge in the hold cook.house ant

put himself out Of sight.
The Wenona dropped quietly down the Ohio, an,
met with no further molestation. The last hear,
from her, she was at Wesve, and having been pre-
vided with cylinder heads of iron, was making he

Landlord Smells .Something.-A short time since
gentleman and lady were travelling in Michigan. and
having missed the stage, were compelled to take
private conveyance from the town Of ScudeT 70
Thomastown. The lady had with her beautiful
little lap dog which she carried on her lap on an EN-
brodered mat. During the ride the husband dis.
covered that he had no handkerchief, when the lady
lent him hers, which was fashionably scented with
musk. About half way between the two towns the
carriage broke down, in the midst OF q hard ram,
and they were obliged take refuge in the
hoase-a " one horse" log tavern, consisting OF TWO
rooms-a bar-room and lodgingroom. The lady laid
her lapdog on its mat before the fire, and herself and
husband took seats. In short time the gentleman
had an occasion to his handkerchief and took It
out leaving it lying his knee when he got through
with IT, In few moments the landlord opened the
door nut his head in, looked around went out came
in gazed at the dog-his nostrils all the while up
turned n intense disgust He finally appeared salts
fed, went to the outside door, opened Il, came back
with bound, seized the lap-dog by the tail, and
hurled him bowling through the open door full ten
rods into the forest. The wife tainted the husband
rose to his feet, terribly enraged, and wanted to
know what he did that for. " That's my dog,p con-
tiuued he furiously. Don't care cuss whose dog
it is," said the man grufiy and impetnously " I
amt going to have such blasted smelling varmint

ANOTHER SP1RrrUALIsN CAsE.-The case Of sednc-
ton alleged to have been committed by Or. Pike, .
spiritual lecturer from Lebanon, at Franklin last fall
was tried this week, before the Supreme Court at
Concord. The accused was an intinerant physician
and lecturer and engaged in spirtualism with great
zeal. He became acquainted at Franklin with the
family of q Mr.. Kimball, who in common with large
number of persons in that town had become firm be.
levers in its spiritual power Mr.. Kimball had two
daughters of ls aud 20 years Of age, who had been
averse to the doctrines OF the spiritualists
After some persuasion by the parents, they became
interested in the signs visions and entertainments
peculiar to the more jealous and imaginative Of this
class. They became subject to the control of Dr..
Pike, and the weight Of the evidence showed that he
made the most abusive and abhorrent use of his
power. It testified that he resorted to drugs to
accomplish his infamous purposes Certain it is that
the girls have since been imbecile and partially
insane.
The jury brought in verdict of guilty, but the
case will go up to the law term Of the Supreme
Court, on exceptions taken by his counsel.
