\ HoRRIBLE CgIME-Last Saturday, We
learn from The Wabash Intelligencer, man
ramed William 10 " was convicted Of bHrR-
ing hfs osre child to dedth, and sentenced
10 eighteen years confinement in the Penl-
Tertiary. TIE principal witness against him
was his little daughter Nancy, whose story
to the jury IS thus given by the intelisen-
GER We should premise that the offence was
committed in The fall of 1857, but concealed
BY the family through fear OF the father, TIL
his arrest for another offence, lately, gave
them an opportunity to tell It without fear
Her luie brother John "a child about four
mouths old, was quite unwell; and had been
SO for some DAYS, aud was consequently fret
full, and lad cried considerably during the
night and disturbed her father. Early in the
morning her father called to her and told her
10 get up and make tire. She did so; made
the tie Iiire;faiy Of brush, because there
~as 10 .ihrr " God prepared. After the fire
began to burn, the child continuing 10 cry
and fret her tafLer became enfaged, and
spatc hct the child from lis mothers arms,
tore every particle OF clothing off 81 it, and
then took it by one arm aud leg, ard held it
ov-r the fire until it was burned in several
places TO a blister. He then struck the little
sufferer two blows with his hand, leaving up
on its body The mark OF his fingers; and then
threw ii into the cradle OF bed. HIS wife and
daughter struggled to get the child away
from him, but were unable to do so, and
when Mrs. Joy found that be was going to
burn tie child TO DEATH she ran out Of the
house TO prevent seeing the sight, and TO get
out OF hearing of the child's screams. Joy
took down his gun, and pointing it to her,
compelled her to come in He then left the
house and did not return, as We understand,
for day or tive. -Four days after this ter
rible scene the little suffering cEild died and
was buried None but JOY and his wife and
two young daughters knew anyth ng about
the cause OF its death. The neighboring wo-
men who came in and assisted to Icy out the
child, found il SO mortified and decayed, that
they could not wash it. or even take off the
clothing upon II. joy told lis wife and
daughters that if they ever said word about
it he would Kill them, and they believed him,
aud so kept the horrible secret.

DEMOCRATIC OPINIONS OF BUCHANAN
Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, says -
During late brief tour through portions of
Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Indiana, sever
al Democratic editors spoke to US very harsh
ly indeed, in relation to the President. And
yet we believe that none of those editors had
the nerve to publish their opinions of Mr. Bu-
chanan and his administration in their pa
pers. Either they try to defend the President
and his measures, or they are silent. While
scorn for the Administration is in their hearts,
dumbness Or eulogy is upon their lips. And
so with the masses of the Democracy every
where. How badly they may think of the
present high functionaries of the government,
they publicly endorse and support them, and
should be responsible for them, and will be-"

The PEOPLES THEATRE.-The nautical
put upon the stage at the Peoples on We'd
nesday evening for the first time, and was
greeted by larger audience than it has con-
tanned this season, though the weather was
untoward. The play is one of singular char
acter, strange in its plot, of thrilling interest,
and keeps the attention of the audience on
the stretch throughout. 1t abounds in fine
tableaux, and well arranged scenes, both nau-
teal and English rural life being depicted,
and contains numerous thrilling passages, and
strange spectacles, dances, &C., while the ma
chinery of the piece is well got up, and the
scenery appropriate. There is nothing low or
unchaste in the piece, and no one need fear to
go there with his family. We ARE glad to no
ticc this fact, as large audience Of ladies
was present on Wednesday evening.
The actors sustained their parts general
ly well. Gossin was the type of the weather
beaten, rough and blunt naval command plain
in speech and manners, yet generous and
brave. Jones was very good tar. Pardey
was himself in Cyrus Bloom, gawkey Eng
lish country youth, while the female charac-
ters of the piece, particularly Eve Hiington,
by one of the Misses Radcliff, were, to say
the least, well done.
The play will be repeated every evening
this week, we believe, and cannot fail to
"draw"
We must add hint to the manager, to
have enough programmes for the audience to
use, and not allow boys who come early to
secure and sell them for cents EACH

LEAvENwoRrH, April %.
A portion Of the locating party despatched
by the overland express, returned yesterday,
bringing intelligence to the 9th of April from
Denver City.
They report the route every way adapted
to the requirements of travel, and grass and
water abundant The stages which left here
on the 18th passed near the head waters of
Solomen's Fork, getting along well. No dim
mutton in confidence among the miners, and
fattering reports continued from the noun

The richest prospects were found in the vi
cinity of South Park and Arapahoe, but the
ground was still frozen and the snow very
heavy.
Three men were hung at Denver City on
the 9th, for murder, by vigilance commit

informants left.
Large numbers of emigrants were pursuing

1t hopes this proposal will meet with the unan-
imous consent of the powers. France has
even added that she is disposed to assent
to disagreement, professionally TO the Con-
gress. Everything, therefore, justifes the
belief that all the difficulties are not yet re-
moved, and definite understanding will ere
long be established, and that no further OBJ
stacle will oppose the assembling of the Con-
gress. H ill., -

FRANCE.-The article in the Moniteur, af-

to assent to disarmament before the Con-

IMPORTING GOODS DIRECT FROM EUROPE
We are pleased to learn, from the St. Paul
papers, the fact, of direct importation Of
goods from Europe to st. Paul. Cathcart &
Co. are the pioneers in this enterprise. This
alone entities them to..a big trade and patron
age of the Minnesota public in part pay for
the enterprise. Let other Minnesota whole
sale merchants follow their example. Glen
coe Register,
That is true Cathcart & Co. are the lar
gest importers from Foreign and Domestic
markets in the Northwest. From glance
through their large establishment, we conclude
that they can fill any order sent by any Min
nesota retail merchant, and cheaper than any
other house.

INHUMANITY.--We have frequently men,
toned poor insane Irishman who is confined,
for want of better quarters, in the Jail. He
is generally harmless, and Injuries nobody if
managed right. Yesterday one of the turn
keys John Kormack, called him up out of the
cellar where he was amusing himself picking
stones, and gave him some commands. The
lunatic playfully pinched his cheek in reply,
which was responded to with blow. Of
course the poor lunatic returned it, when the
Turnkey struck him with heavy bunch of
large keys, inficting some severe wounds on
his head. 1t was very cruel and unneces-
sary punishment, as proper management
would keep the poor fellow in order. A
physician was called to dress his wounds, but
the poor man resisted all attempts to examine
them, and his condition is said to be critical.
The Turkey acted very reprehensiby, and
even the plea of selfdefense will hardly ex-
cuse him. Let Sheriff Caldwell see to it, and
examine into the conduct of his appointee.-
Why cannot the lunatic be removed to the
asylum of some neighboring State, whence
he can be properly attended to.

The scandal lovers of Minneapolis are some
what ''moved" just now, by a little love COM
edy that came near being tragedy. 1t
seems that citizen of that town who has been
sojourning at the East awhile, returned home
the other day, and was much grieved and of
course exasperated by being furnished with
what he considered conclusive evidence of the
infidelity of his better half during his absence.
The Infatuated and outraged husband armed
himself cap-a-pie, and sailed out in search of
his rival, who hearing of the pistols-and-coffee
arrangements, slipped off down the river, out
of reach Of the victim of misplaced confidence.
If the meeting had been effected, we might
have had another tragedy to chronicle. Verify,
these are stirring times So says the Eoening

German who has been on trial at Monticello
during the last week for the murder of his

county last year, was discharged by Judge
Hamlin on Tuesday at the request of the
Prosecuting Attorney, James R. Lawrence,
Esq, there being no evidence found against
him. This Oehlein was confined in our Jail
for long time. 1t is supposed that he is the
victim of a conspiracy, and that his wife and
her paramour know who did do the crime.

The JACKSON LYNCHING CAsE.-There
seems to be no longer any doubt that the out
rage we briefly mentioned in our columns on
Saturday, was really enacted by the ruffians
of Rockford. For the good name of our State,
once furnished by similar hellish affair, we
had hoped that the rumor would prove I'M
true. But later reports leave us no room to
doubt thatpoor Jackson, having foolishly ven
tured into the toll of the brutes, fell victim
to their barbarity.
We have no comments to make on this MUIR
der. 1t is a pitiable state of affairs, and the
less it is aired, we believe the better for our
reputation. 1t is disgrace to the people OF
Wright county, that this murder was allowed
to be perpetrated in their midst, and let them
see to it that every brute that had hand in
the crime is brought to justice, or Wright
county will become so Infamous that her very
name will be flaming sword that will turn
emigration from her borders
Let universal eXecration be heaped upon
these infamous murders, so that no other COM
munity will ever dare to allow such crime to
be perpetrated in its midst. We wait to see
whether the ruffians will be brought to JUS
tice or not.
