hes the following: .r
The "better days coming are rap j y

to the number OF emigrants coming into
the country and seeking homes for bust

Roads. Merchants come here Iecunse
they know that the "panic Of 1857" has
eren,l7 diminished thu number of houses
in the city aud the towns along those
roads, and that with returning prosperity
merchants will bc needed. Farmers seek
locations along these roads. for they know
they will slways have n reliable market.
Mechanics are con lag, for where farmers
thrive they are needed
The resusri,a.ion Of these -ocds. and
their rapid advance in the haids Of ener--

ELEGANT PHRAsEOLOG

The following paragraph descriptive of
the great ",nill' between Tom Sayers and
Bob Brettle appears in flakes SPIRIT Of
The Times, copied from Bells Life 1t will
be seen that "fstic art !" can inspire as
the most magnificent prima dona or paint.
ing:
On coming up there was no mark Of
Bob's visitation on Toms jaw, but the
effect Of Toms blows on Bob's mazzard
and eve was very visabe His conk and
left pepper were swollen, and the clare, was
still visible from his claret trap
Dob's bealS and mouth showed TINT Tom
had been there; he, however dashed in,
and heavy exchanges took place Tom
getting on the left pceper, and Bob on the
body. Bob now broke awny, and resor,ed
to his cunning periratete dodge, but Tom
only grinned, and waited for him At
length Bob dashed in, and got on the chest
very slightly, Tom returning well on iha
kisser.

A LITTLE, GIRL MURDERED BY Boy II
PENNsYLvANIA.-An intelligent little girl aget
II, named Mary Elizabeth Eagins, was sho
dead on the 25th ult. near Morristown, Penn
The person who committed the deed is Johr
Famous, about 8 years Of age, the son of VIM
Famous, a respectable neighbor. Wher
asked why he committed such terrible
deed, he said he "did not do it on purpose,
that "ths dog had jumped on the gun
knocking it on the floor, and it was not hi,
fault" The gun was found lying on bed
in an inner room, and from the character o
the wound must have been held in level Oh
horizontal position when discharged.
Some members of the household say thai
Famous had previously made threats thai
che would come there and shoot Liz, some
time," but this seems TO have been known
only among the children. A hearing of the
case was had on Saturday last, when the boy
was committed to answer at the next term O

A PARIsIAN ACTRESS BEeGARING HERSELF
FOR LovE.-M'lle Judith, of the Theater
Francais, in Paris, has been compelled to sue
for the privilege of bankruptcy. The event
has caused the most tremendous excitement
in the gay world to which the lady belongs.
Some Of the incidents connected with this pc
culiar failure are touching enough. The lady
has proved beyond doubt that she had long
ago been compelled to part with every one Of
her valuables, and that at the present mo-
ment she owns scarcely more than the dresses
she has in daily wear. Love, Jas usual, is
the cause of the despbilment-the extraor-
dinary idea of sending dying friend to Ma
deira in vessel Of her own, fitted up in the
richest and most expensive style, and ena-
bling him to finish his days amid all the lux
uries of an Eastern Pacha, has caused the
ruin she is compelled to avow.

A MINISTER KILLS PHYSICIAN IN Missouri.
Rev. John W. Moseley, member of the Pres
bytery Of Central Missouri, shot and killed a
DR.. Wilson, at Sarcoxie, Mo-, on the 1st inst.
DIR. Wilson was an old settler of that place,
and had wife and several children, one son
grown and o daughter married. He had for
some time been making unlawful advances to
Moseley's sister, the mother of six children,
having written her letter of eight pages,
proposing an elopement and marriage, and
sent 1t by his daughter law, who handed it
to Moseley's mother. She showed it to her
son, and it resulted in his killing Wilson.
Moseley was Immediately tried and acquitted
