Ossawattamie Brown, the Kansas
horse-thief, nigger-stealer, and cut
throat, we learn, is still in this State
with the thirteen negroes and the
teams and wagons lately stolen by him
in Missouri. Together with the rem
nant of his band not now in the var,-

the clutches Of that prompt and efiici-
ent officer Judge Lynch, he is now so.
journing with an abolition republican
colony at Spring Dale in the county of
Cedar. The philanthropists who have
taken him in, state that he arrived
much exhausted by his labors and very
"short;;" they now however, speak en-
couragingly regarding his health, say
ing that he is rapidly regaining his
strength and spirits, and also hopes
are expressed that he will realize suf-
ficient by the sale Of the horses and
wagons stolen by him On his way, to
assist him forward on the good work,
which he has undertaken. We also
hear it stated that several Of the stol-
en- negroes are very much dissatisfied
with their experience of the delights
of freedom and that they have made
attempts to escape from the clutches
of Brown and return to Missouri but
Brown under the impression that he
knew better than they themselves what
is for their good, and thinking that
they will be better off starving among
the runaway nggers in Canada than
at home where they are fed and cared
for by their masters, refused to allow
them to 60, and now keeps them with
him BY force.
We trust that the time is not far dis
tant when we shall be able to record
the decease of this miscreant at the
hands Of some regularly sworn and
qualified Sheriff.

An Incldeut Extraordinary.

From the Aarquet Journal, Feb. 81
An old residenter here was saying
to us, a day OF two since, that he had
observed an Indian upon the Ice, en-
gagged in spearing the lake trout, and
added that little could be accomplished
so near the shore-that one must 20
three or four miles out into the bay
to be very successful in that vocation.
Upon our asking him if the ice (now a
week old) was not strong enough for
that, nc replied that, though it was, it
would be hazardous to venture out
while the wind was from the southees at
that it would not blow long from that
direction before the ice would be broken
up and driven out into the lake, and.
ifpeople happened to be ON it when
the wind came round to that quarter,
they had to scamper off to avoid the
danger of being carried away. He
then related the following incident
which took place but . few year.
since:
A family Of Indians started from
Light House Point to cross the bay on
the ice from the north to the south
shore, having with them their kettles
and all their camp equipage for su-
gar campaign, the wind blowing from
the southeast. They had gotten partly
across, when the ice broke loose. and
they we're driven ont into the lake.
beyond the reach Of mortal help
Days, and weeks, and mouths passed
away, and nothing Was heard Of them,
and Of course the natural conclusion
was, that they had all perished. But,
to the establishment Of the people here,
about four months afterwards the
whole family made their appearance,
like so many risen from the dead
They had been driven entirely across
the lake . hundred miles or more) to
the Canada shore, where they landed
in safety, the wind, fortunately for
them, having continued to blow hard
from the same direction for several
days. Feom the point where they
landed, they made their may down

The Book OF JoB.-The book of
Job is generally regarded as the most
perfect specimen Of the poetry of the
Hebrews. 1t is alike picturesque in
the delineation of individual phenome-
ma and artistical skillful in the didacit-
ic arrangement of the whole work.
In all the modern languages into which
the book of Job has been translated, its
images, drawn from the natural scene
ry Of the East, leave a deep impression
on the mind. "The Lord walketh on
the heights of the waters, on the ridges
of the wave towering high beneath the
force of the wind" The morning
red has covered the margin Of the
earth, and variously forming the COW
ering of the clouds, as the son Of man
holds the yielding clay. The habits
of animals are described, as, for in
stance, those Of the wild ass, the horse,
the buffalo, the rhinocerous, and the
crocodile, the eagle, and the ostrich.
We see " the pure ether spread, during
the heat of the south wind, as melted
mirror, over the parched desert" The
poetic literature of the Hebrews is not
deficient in variety of form for while
the Hebrew poetry breathes a warlike
enthusiasm, from Joshua to Samuel,
the little book of the cleaner Ruth
presents us with a charming and ex-
quisite picture of nature. Goethe, at
the period of his enthusiasm for the
East. spoke of it as the loveliest speci-
men Of epic and idly poetry which we
possess.-Hamboldts Cosmos, vol ii, p,

A SHOCKING SLAVE TRAGEDY.-The most

five and girl about three years of age, to

the house. where they were found the next
morning drowned. Marks Of fingers and
toes and down to the water would indicate
that she also went down. whether to drown
herself. and Afterwards changed her mind,
or to effectually put an end to her children,
not known. but it 10 thought probably the
latter. She then went back to her own
house. piled oil the things in the middle of
the floor, Get IRE to them. and ran away.
and up to the present time NO trace Of her
has been found.-Aadison (F7a.) Nsssenqey,

Record of Blood.

New YORK, June "a German named
George Myers murdered his wife yesterday
morning by beating her with a smoothing iron
and stabbing her with pair of shears. Myers
has served one term in the State Prison for be-
ing concerned in the death of a man some ten
years ago.
No clue has yet been obtained to the mys-
terry of the box filled with dead bodies in the
Sound. The theories suggested that the bod
les might either have been medical subjects, or
bodies removed from Potter's Field for rein.
terment, are entirely exploded by full inves.
tigation. The bodies had evidently been dead
but a few days.
Last evening the body of richly dressed
woman foated ashore at Fort Hamilton. She
had profusion of jewelry, including three
rings on her wedding finger, one of plain gold,
the others of diamonds and pearls. The lady
was somewhat bruised, and evidently had not
been in the water more than tw enty-four
hours. The body is suspected, from the de-
scripton, to be that of the wife of Henry Hal"
sey, of West Twelfth street. She has been
missing since Wednesday, on which day she
was deserted by her husband on account of
writing q letter to a certain gentleman in
Brooklyn. Her husband was arrested to-day
and taken down to Fort Hamilton.
Yesterday morning the dead body of a
German was found in the hallway of a house
in johnson street, Brooklyn, with the top of
his head blown off. The deed was committed
at the door of room occupied by his wife,
and which he had vainly attempted to enter.
He had knife with him, and, from threats ut
tered the night before, it was no doubt his in
tention to have killed his wife.

By the Overland Mail.

ST. LOUIS, June 5.-Eight white men, pro-
speeding for silver near Honey Lake, have
been killed by Indians and the house of Col
Stevenson, at Red Bluff, was burned on the
18th ult. Stevenson's wife, another woman,
and five children persisted in the flames.
The Arizonian of the 10th is filled with ac-
counts of the proceedings of band of Reg
ulators, who had driven all Mexicans from
Sonortia Valley, and committed several MUIR
ders.
The Americans at Tubac publicly denounce
these outrages, and company of troops has
been detached from Fort Buchanan to sup
press their further proceedings.
The Utah mail brings a proclamation of
Gov Cumming, commanding Immediately to
disperse various parties of Mormons associated
together in a military capacity in the noun
tains surrounding Salt Lake Valley.
The Tan complains that this proclamation
was not put into the hands of the federal Off
GERS to execute, instead of the Territorial
Marshal, and asserts that treason is as rife in
the Territory as it had been before the advent
of the Army.
