DISTRIBUTION OF VALUABLE PAINTINGS
Mr.. George Winter, who has lived and,
painted so much at the West, that he may
be considered Western artist, has fourteen
productions of his own pencil on hand
which he proposes 20 distribute among the
holders of a certain number of his certif-
Gates. The paintings are all, we believe,
original; most of them beautiful landscapes
of his own composition from Western scenes.
We are informed that the paintings are ex-
cellent, and are some of the best productions
of the artist, and are valued at from $50 to
$3.50 each. In addition TO the landscapes
Mr.. Winter will paint six portraits in oil for
the six holders of the six successful certif-
Gates. Mr.. Winter proposes to visit Evans
vile in the course of a week or two, to make
known the mode he proposes to dispose of
his valuable paintings, and we hope he may
meet with encouragement enough to induce
him to stay season at least with US.

The ellsworth VIII.

We learn from the Lafayette Journal that
the Trustees of Wabash College at Craw
louisville, Ind, have commenced suit in
(. Tippecanoe county to probate will made
by Henry L. Ellsworth, in February, 1851,
by which will Mr.. E. bequeaths three
tenths of his entire estate to his daughter,
Mrs. Roswell G. Smith; the same proper
ton to his son, Henry W.; two-tenths to
his grand children, Henry 6. Ellsworth and
Mrs. Ellen E. Rose, now of California
and the remaining two tenths (after paying
his daughter-in-la law, Mrs. Jane Beard one
thousand dollars) equally to Wabash Col
lege, Yale College, the American Bible
Society, and the American Colonization So
| ciety.
In May, 1856, DIR. ellsworth endorsed or
this will of 1851, a codicil by which in
terms he reiterated it, and extended its be-
quests to all the real and personal property
of which he might die possessed. But
without the codicil it is said that under the
laws of this State, Mr.. Els entire estate, real
and personal, would pass to the legatees
under the provisions of this will.
Wabash College alleges in her complaint
that this will of 1851, a copy of which is
produced, is now in the hands of Judge
Williams of Hartford, Conn; that it is the
! last will and testament of Mr.. E.. that at
| the time the will of 1857 was made Mr.. L.
was of unsound mind and that the will of
1857 was not duly executed; that Mr.. f.,
although in Connecticut at the time of his
death, was in fact domiciled in this State ;
that at the time he left this State to go to
Connecticut he was of unsound mind, and
consequently incapable of changing his
residence that at the time he left this
State he continued his principal Office here
with his confidential clerk; that he left a
furnished house, and that he left with the
intention (if he was capable of having any
of returning to this State. These are the
principal points in the complaint, and al
though Mr.. E. children are made defend
ants in this proceeding, they are satisfied
that the will of 1851 was the will OF their
late father.
The contest, if any be made, will be made
by Yale College, and those in her interest,
as her proportion of the estate, in case this
| will if admitted to probate, will amount to
but about $50, 900.

BG Edward Steele, formerly Bank
Cashier at Cannelton, was arrested in Louis
vile few days since for drunkenness and
disorderly conduct. He, with two or three
others were at the Falls City Hotel on
Saturday night, where they broke down
bedstead and otherwise acted SO badly that
the proprietor requested them to leave the
house. This they would not do, until three
policemen arrived and took them to Jail. 1t
was in proof that the same parties acted in
q boisterous manner some time previous, at
the Exchange Hotel, and they were all in
the habit of getting intoxicated. Their at
torney plead that they, although strangers,
were gentlemen of the highest responsibility,
and that the circumstances did not warrant
holding them over. The Court took issue
with the counsel, and demanded 5000 bail
for three months sobriety and peaceable be-
havior The parties failed to procure the
necessary bail and were sent to the work
house.

power to lease all or any part thereof collect
water rents &C., with Canadians amend,
ment compelling the leasers of the canal to
build and keep in repair all necessary
bridges crossing it, having been made the
special order for IL o'clock, was taken up
for consideration, but the Senate took no
note on it.
Wagners bill, authorizing the Bank of
the State of Indiana to lay off six additional
branch districts, and to establish branches
therein, was taken up and the amendment to
the bill read.
Marchs amendment taxing the branches
for State and municipal purposes, in the
same manner that individuals are taxed and
reserving to the State the right to prescribe
changes in the bank charter, and of repeal,
was read by sections. .
That part of the amendment arescribing
changes in the charter was laid on the table,
and an effort to table the taxing amendment
failed.
In the House Committee of Conference
was appointed on the disagreement between
the House and Senate on the Temperance
Bill. The difference related to the
amendments of the Senate, giving the right
to sell native wines and cider without Ii.
cense. The majority of the House believe
this privilege would be used asa curtain I'M
der which all sorts of liquors would be vend-
ed in disguised form.
The bill amending the assessment law
was referred to a committee, with instruc-
tions to relieve assessors from making
specific description, by metes and bonds,
saving an expense of about 81, 900 to each
county.
On motion of Hunter, additional instruc-
tons were adopted to amend section 20, so
that the Auditor shall not be required to
file the statements of assessments, but mere
ly to preserve them. 1t was resolved that
the Trustees of the Wabash and Erie Canal
be requested to inform the House if it is
probable that they cannot maintain that
canal in navigable condition; and if so, to
state the reasons why; and in that e7ent, what
legislation, in their opinion, is necessary to
enable such navigation to be maintained; and
whether such legislation would in any man
ner involve a change in the arrangement
and settlement with the bondholders made
| in 1876 and 1847.
A bill was reported to abolish road dis
tricts in incorporated towns. 1t requires
the supervisors of road districts in incorpo-
rated towns to perform the road work in
them according to to the directions of the
town council. The bill was considered as
engrossed, and passed.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE AT LEBANON,
KY.-The Louisville JoarnGl, of Wednes-
day, gives the particulars of sad and fatal
affair which occurred in Lebanon, on the
22d inst Miss Susan Shuck, daughter of
John Shuck, Esq, was about to be led to
the altar of marriage by Mr.. John Thomas.
The wedding was to have taken place at
ii o'clock on Monday morning, and the
happy company to have started to Louis
vile on the evening train. Just few mo-
ments before the time for the ceremony, Mr..
Thomas, the bridegroom, swung open the
door of the chamber where he was alone
with the bride, and the wind made by the
movement blew her veil into the fireplace.
Of course, she was instantly enveloped in
the flames Mr.. Thomas was so bewildered

A FIENDIsH OUTRAGE UPON A Poor Wild

York on the 18th inst, had their attention
attracted by screams which proceeded from
house on Mulberry street. The officers
entered the house from which the screams
proceeded In room in the upper story
they saw crowd of ruffians surrounding a
woman whom they had thrown upon her
face on the floor, sitting her cries in the
skirts of her dress, two of them holding her
by the throat, while James Mclaughlin was
in the act of outraging her person. Nc
Laughlin was arrested, when the other fell

Pile had entered her room, and after beating
her in the manner described, had successive

to the Station-House and attended by sur

stairs among the dodgers, and when they
went out in the morning she, knowing no
better, left with them. The police subse-

KENTUCKY OPPOSITION STATE CONVENTION.
This convention met at Louisville on the
22d inst The attendance was very large,
variously estimated at from fifteen hundred
to twenty-five hundred Old Line Wings
were there who had not attended political
gathering for years. Americans were there,
and Democrats who voted for James Bueh-
anan were there, and all seemed determined
to 90 into the work of demolishing Magof-
fin, Boyd, & Co., with all their might. The
convention was presided over by Hon. P.
Letcher, who addressed the assembly in an
eloquent manner. Able and appropriate
resolutions were adopted, and number of
excellent speeches were delivered. Joshua
F. Bell, OF Boyle county, was nominated for
Governor and Alfred H. Allen, of Brecken-
ridge, for Lieutenant Governor.

BSS@ The State Journal and other papers,
that oppose the distribution of the school
fund to the counties, persist in the prediction
that it win be lost as has been the seven
per cent fund under the management of the
several Boards of County Commissioners
We should like to know what warrant there
is for the assertion that the school fund en-
trusted to the counties has been lost or i'm
paired. In this county in the administra-
ton of it, for fifteen years, not one dime of
principal or interest has been lost, nor is
there single dollar but what is safely in
vested-secure beyond any contingency
and fund amounting to $4,000 has been
thus admirably managed, producing regu-
larly seUen per cent interest, at a cost of only
county. similar reports of the management
and state Of the fund are given from War
rick, Spencer, Perry, Gibson, and other
counties in the Southern portion of the
State. Posey lost a portion of her school
| fund under the old system of management,
but we have not heard of any losses TO the
fund in any county, under the present law
If defalcations have occurred, they ought
to be published and the delinquents exposed
The fund could not be impaired, except by
the culpable neglect of the Auditor an6
County Commissioners. From an experience
of fifteen years, the people of the Southern
counties of Indiana, are persuaded that the
present mode of administering the schoo
fund by the counties, makes them the safest
! repositories for their share of the sinking
fund, that can be selected If in other por
tons of the State losses have occurred, it il
not the fault of the system provided by law

I,eetslative proceedings,

In the Senate on Tuesday, the Senate bill
legalizing the assignments made by the
Branches of the State Bank Indiana, and to
secure the interests of the Sinking Fund in
the assignments, was taken from the files,
read third time, and passed.
The Senate bill authorizing County
Treasurers to assess taxes in cases where
the same has been omitted by the proper
officer. was read third time and passed.
The Committee reported that legislation
on the subject of erecting Houses of Refuge
was unnecessary, in view of the depleted
condition of the Treasury. Concurred in.
For the same reason, committee reported
that it was inexpedient to erect an addition
to the Insane Asylum.
The bill for the distribution of the Sink
ing Fund was taxed up, and Mr.. Bobbs Of
fered an amendment making the counties
responsible for any losses the fund may sus-
tain by loans. ..
The amendment of Bobbs was agreed to,
and on motion of Studabaker the bill was
considered engrossed, read third time, and
passed. ..-a
The title of the bill was changed so as to
embrace the features of the substitute to the
original bill-providing for contributing the
fund among the several counties instead OF
purchasing bonds and stocks from its sur

The screams of the sufferer brought her
father, sister, and several other persons to
the top of the stairs, where she had gone in
her excitement Water and other means
were used to extinguish the ire-but before
it could be done she was dreadfully burned
After her wounds were dressed the ceremo-
ny was performed-but alas, the wedding
and funeral were near together. She lin
gered in great suffering until Wednesday
morning at one o'clock.
Her mother and sister are perfectly pros
trated, and it is feared they may die. The
whole community is in gloom.
