DANGEROUSLY STABBED.-An Irishman,
namrd James Hollard, was dangerously stab
bed on Sunday evening last, at a shanty be-
tween this city and Sugar creek. Michae
Kahn and Michael Mack were accused of As.
sault with intent to commit murder before
j. Potter, j. p. but Kahn only was arrested
Mack made his escape. Kahn was examined
on Monday morning, and was discharged
the evidence, in the opinion of the magistrate
not being sufficient to show probable cause
against him.
Since the above was in type, we hear of the
death Of the wounded man. Acting Coroner
Lotspeich, and jury composed of T. J.
Holmes, d. F. Gaylord and A. Nudge held
an inquest on the body, on Tuesday. They
found that death was caused by the wounds
inflicted.
The parties implicated have not been made
known.

Paul W1rsssay.

Tn appearance Mr.. Morphy is youthful,
and even boyish. He has dark brown hair,
and face extremely pale and indicative Of
delicate health, which is not to be wondered
at from the sedcntary nature of chess play
ing, and from the manner in which he strains
his mind His head is intellectual and fine
ly formed. Perhaps great general or a
great mathematician is lost in him. 1t seem
pity, indeed, that so much mental force
should be wasted on chess, though a very
entertaining and innocent game. lie plays
with great coolncss and dcliberation, and
his calm, unimpassioned marble features,
seem incapable of emotion. He calculates
his moves far ahead, and sometimes takes
considerable time to deliberate; at other
times he moves very rapidly. ii> manner is
modest, quiet and gentlemanly. His cast of
features, particularly his chin, are decidedly
Irish, and no doubt Murphy was the original
name Of the family.

We would invite the attention of our rea.
ders to the new "AGUE CURE" advertised in
our columns. 1t is from such quarter as
will give the public confidence in its efficacy,
and we have learned from reliable sources,
that its virtues will sustain their fullest ex-
pectations. Citizens of the west can not fail
to appreciate the paramount value to them,
ola safe and certain remedy for this affecting
distemper without either Quinine orminerals,
and consequently without injury to the con-
stitutional health. We have more than Or
binary satisfaction in proclaiming this remedy
because we are convinced it well answer a
crying want among us, and serve to relieve
a great amount of suffering .-Republican,

The weather the present week, so far, has
been truly delightful, and quite favorable to
farming interests. We had little rain, it is
true, on Monday, but onlya shower, and it
did no harm, good rather. We are encour-
aged, and we find our farmers are 50 too, as
a general thing. Decidedly better feeling
prevails. Farther and good progress, has
been made in cropping, and a glimps of fair
sky is descernable ahead We may now
hope with confidence for pretty good crop,
less by considerable than we should have
had, with less rain, but farmers have worked
as they never worked before and we think
they may now count upon their reward.
Locally things wear better aspect. Of
tumwa is decidedly gaining in business
and prosperity. As yet, perhaps, only
preparing, as strong man to run race, as
she is bound to do from this time on Many
favorable symptoms are presenting them
selves. Our merchants are doing "a better
business. They have stood the hard times
bravely, and now supplied in every depart
ment with full stocks of goods, they arc in
condition to invite and readily detect
return of prosperity. Lots, too, are begin
ming to be enquired after, and we hear of
several sales the past week, not il is true at
the speculative prices ola year and half ago,
but at prices which now satisfy both sellers
and buyers, and better consist with healthy
growth and the permanent prosperity of the
place.
The cars are coming right soon. We can
hear the whistle now; in few weeks more
the IRON horse, now fretting and impatient on
the dusty plains ofAgency City, will be per-
mitted to push on to Ottumwa, where he can
slakc his thirst in the cool and refreshing
waters ofthe Des Moines The precise day
when this will he, we cannot say, but sure
we are, that the day which will witness the
union of the Mississippi with the Des Moines,
will be for us glorious day, ard one which
ought to be- and which will be, celebrated
with becoming ceremonies.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May 27.-The jackson,
vile correspondent of the State Register says
that most terrific tornado occurred twelve
miles south of that city on the Goth.
The violence of the whirlwind is described
as exceeding anything of the kind ever wit,
messed, except in the West Indies. Sixteen
persons were killed and many others serious
ly wounded-some fatally. Houses were
destroyed and blown to atoms. There is an
incalculable amount of damage done to prop
erty of every kind. We have not as yet
been able to learn the names of those killed
and wounded.
