A Strange Fish.

A new aud strange species Of fish

Great Osecche River, u few DAYS

FONT. 1t was taken in a net set for
sturgeon, and measured six feet one
inch in lrn2th. lts head was put in
brine to preserve it, aud it takes n
large sized butter key to accommo
date it. lts scales measured not less
than one and half inches in diam.
cier, and are Of the most beautifully
FURNISHED silver color. The head is
vey massive, supplied with SIX
rows OF small dull teeth on either
side, projecting at an angle of about
forty five degrees from Il very heavy
AMI powerful lower jaw-bone, which
has onl y a muscular connection with
the onter walls of the head, and
seems to be the posterior portion oil
the tongue. There are but two rows
of teeth on either side Of the upper
jaw. The gills are massive and ar
ranged in layers OF eight on either
side. Eyes very large and project
ing, and situated near the mouth. -
The latter is small, with tho lower
lip projecting some inches beyond
the upper, and not unlike that of n
horse, though sharper. As a whole
the fish is most beautiful specimen
Of its tribe. The gentleman who
captured it, fried steak from it's
body, and says the meat is Of dark
color, but quite delicate and free
from the strong taste Of tho "drum''
or "bass." Quite a school OF them

this was taken, skimming the sur

A Man Kills the Murderer of His Father.

A Man Kills the Murderer of His Father.
A correspondent Of the St. Louis
Republtcaa, writing from Vernon
county, Missouri, under date OF fully
seventh, describes the following ira.
gedy:
On Sunday, the 2eth uItimo, q
Mr.. John Denton, O resident OF this
county, came across 6 man in Ne.
vada City by the name Of James
iiardwick, whom he arrested for the
murder Of his (Denton's) father, in
Kansas, about year since. Den.
ton had Hardwick handcuffed, and
placed securely under guard in the
Court House.
lie then made application for a
writ, and being informed that he
couid not obtain one, from the fact
that the act WAS committed in Kan
sas, thereupon Denton, who seems
to be very decided man, soon left
town in company with his prisoner
alone, stating that he was going to
take him to Little Usage, in this
county, where he had some friends,
for security. This was about eleven
o'clock.
Next day Denton returned to Ne.
vada, to attend the trial of a man
whom he had followed and arrested
for horse-stealing, and stated that
Hardwick had got away from him.
Four days after this, Hardwick's
body was founl in a large prairie,
about ten miles from Nevada CITY.
and Denton was thereupon arrested
for the murder of Hardwick, placed
upon trial before Justice Bingham, of
this county, and committed to Jail for
in the first degree.
Denton male q statement OF the
facts in the case before the Court
lie stated that, while riding through
the prairie in conversation with
Hard wick, that he (Hardwick) con.
fessed to him that he was one OF tho
crowd who went to the house of old
man Denton after night, called him
up from bed, and shot him down
while he was standing in his door.
Denton said, upon this confession Of
llardwick to him, that he became
perfectly enraged, and could not
bear the idea Of riding with man
who would thus openly confess to
him the murder OF his father, and at
the same time recollecting that all
oacTsea oi Whatever oirarsus-r, com-
United prior to the amnesty act Of
the Legislature OF Kansas, lsst VIM
ter, were considered as by-gones. and
seeing no redress for him under the
laws Of that country, he, therefore,
took the law in his own hands.

How KINDNESS SAVED HIM.-I. is easy to ruin,
and easy to save a young man. One of the lead
ing brokers Of New York had q young man in his
employ. The vast amount of money in his hands
was a great temptation to him. Small sums were
missed day after day one quarter, then fifty cents,
then one dollar, then two dollars, were missed
he was charged with the peculation. The broker
showed him how he could detect the abstraction
of the smallest sum of money the young man
stammered and confessed. Now, said the broker,

will be a v~agabond if you 60 along in this way
Now let me see no more of this, He went to his
work. He did not disappoint the confidence. lie
did honor to his employer. And the other day he
was indicted into one ofour banks in an honorable
position, and his employer became his bondsmar
to the amount of $4,000. Had he conducted q,
some would have done, sent the boy away and pro
claimed his dishonor, perhaps he would have ends
his days in States Prison, and been sent to his tomb
in tie garb of a convict. But one young mar
was rescued from ruin who had been placed annie
the temptations of money, and for a moment wa
overcome.

THE MANUFACTURE OF WINES.

Every day adds 10 the accumulating evidence that
pure wines are very rare indeed, and that those who
use such beverages have no guaranty, as they sip
their champagne, claret, burgundy or port, that
they are not i~mbibing a cunning compound of log
wood, sugar, chemicals and cider, or distilled liq-
uors, or, under the most favorable circumstances,
a very poor wine, cooked" to suit the palate.
On this subject the London correspondent Of the
National Intelligencer sheds some light. He says:
eat the northwestern corner of the Mediterra-
mean, on the Gulf of Lyons, stand the prosperous
little town Of Cette. its harbor is usually crow
ded with vessels bearing the flags of many ma
tons. The warehouses are numerous, and there
is little or no appearance of either indulgence or
idleness in the place; yet a stranger is at nrsl
puzzled to determine what is the particular bust.
ness or trade of the town. After a little time he
begins to observe among the working men a pre-
ponderance of coopers and u great consumption OF
slaves and hoops. Then he observes that log
wood and cider are use1 largely, sugar not a little.

The NEWSPAPER PREss.-Maryland has a news
paper circulation of 224,000-the largest of any
of the slave States. Massachusetts, with a popu,
lation scarcely double that of Maryland, has q cir
~culation of us, 800, or about six to one. Its cir
~culation is nearly equal to that of all the Southern
States. New York has a circulation considerably
more than double that of all the slave States.
At the south, more than one-half of tho papers
are political; at the north. less than one-third.-
The number of copies of neutral and independent

From the New York Tribune.
MRS. STOVES NEW NOVEL.

1t has always seemed to US that the anti-slavery
element in the two former novels of Mrs. Stowe
stood in the way Of a full appreciation of her re-
markable genius, at least in her own country. 1t
was SO easy to account for the unexampled pr pu-
larity Of" Uncle Iom," by attributing it to a cheap
sympathy with sentimental philanthropy! As
people began to recover from the first euchantment
they began also to resent it, and began to complain
that a Gose of that insane Garrison root which
takes the reason prisoner had been palmed upon
them without their knowing il, and that their ordi
nary water Cruel of fiction, thinned with sentimcn,
and thickensd with moral, had been hocussed with
the bewildering hasheesh Of Abolition. We had
the advantage of reading that extraordinary book
in Europe, long after the whirl Of excitement pro.
duced by its pOlication had subsidized, in tho seclr.
sior of distance, and with a judgement undisturb
ed by those political sympathies which it is impos.
sible, perhaps unwise, to avoid at home. We felt
then, and believe now that the secret of Mrs.
Stoves power lay in that same genius by which
the great successes in creative literature have al.
ways been achieved-the genius that instinctiyely
goes right to the organic element of human nature,
whether under a white skin or a black, and which
disfegards as trivial the con, entional and fac.i-
tious notions which make ss large q part both Of
our thinking aud feeling. Works of imagination
