The Western Christian AdpOcdte Of last week
contains an obituary notice, by Rev. A. Wright,
OF the lnd. NJ. Il Church, OF Isaac Hamblin, Sr +,
who died at his residence near Bloomfield, Ind,
few months since, aged about s6 years. Mr..
Hambin was a man of deep piety and unques.
tonable yeracily. lie was in tho battle of the
Thames, and the writer gives the following as
his statement in regard to the manner in which
Tecumseh was killed ....
He says ho was standing but few feet from
CO.onel johnson when he fell, and in full view,
aud saw the whole Of that part of the battle. He
was well acquai ted with Tecumseh, having
seen him before the war, and having been a
prisoner seventeen days, aud received many a
cursing from hir. lie thinks that Tecumseh
| thought johnson was Harrison, ,as he often heard
the chief swear that he would have Harrison =
scalp, and seemed to have a special hatred to-
ward him. Johnsons horse iell under him, he
himself being aso deeply wounded in the fall
he lost his sword, his large pistols were empty,
and he was ontangled with his horse on the
ground. Tecumseh bad fired his rifle at him,
and when he saw him fall, he threw down his
gun, and bounded forward like tiger sure of
HE prey. johnson had only side pistol ready
for use lie aimed at the chief over the head
Of his horse. and shot near the center of his
| forehead When the ball struck, it seemed to
him that the Indian jumped with his head full
fifteen feet in the air soon he struck the
| ground, little Frenchman ran his bayonet into
him and pinned him fast to the ground.

A case of domestic infelicity resulting in an
attempt Of the wife to shoot her husband re-
Gently occurred at North Fairfield, in a Da-
guerrean Gallery. A man named Beardsey and
his wife met there by agreement to got like
ness taken of one of their children, says the
Plymouth Advertiser, and that having been OBJ
tained the wife sat for her and having received
1t asked her husband if he would not like to
have it. lie replied Ia would, but supposed
she would not be willing to give it. She said
she would rather kill him, whereup0n she drew
pistol from her pocket, and made an attempt
to fire it at him. lie, seeing her object. reach
ed forward and caught the pistol, which explO-
ded and carried away his little finger and near
" severed the next one to it, He then caught
her up in his arms and carrying her over to
the Squires office, made information against her
az principal and Dr. Baker, of Fitchvie, as ac-
cessory. The circumstances leading to this diff
ficulty, as we learn from a person reading near
| Fitchylle, and who is eOuyersant with the facts
are as follows Early last spring, DIR. Bakers
wife dying, he arranged with Mr.. Beardsley
and wife TO move into his dwelling and keep
house for him. "u.r-
Not long after, however, Mr. Beardslcy was
convinced that an improper relation existed be
tween his wife aud the Doctor, and left hel
taking oue child aud part Of the furniture with
him. The Doctor and her have continued tC
| live together ever since, although various at
tempts have been made by the citizens to shame
them out of it-such as burning etRgies aud fir
ing cannon, in front of their residence, but t.
no purpose, Her husband, also, made over
lures to her to leave the Doctor and come anC
live with him again, and the past should b,
forgotten. Last Saturday the Doctor drove t.
Fairfield, taking her and the child whose Ike
ness was taken for the husband along, aud it i
presumed, was aware that she designed making
the attempt on her husbands life, and probably
encouraged her in it, One report says that h
remarked in one Of the stores at the burg. lha
she had cone over for that purpose Upol

The Chicago Firc---Battle with the Flames
The Chicago Press puts down the destruction
of property by the great fire of the night of the
18th at over s5OO,OOO. 1t ragged on West Lake,
Fulton, Carroll, Canal, Clinton and JcGsr.
son streets. The misfortune TO the Western
District of Chicago was very heavy one, and
the Press attributes the destruction of hundreds
of thousands of dollars worth of property to
the wooden comices on the Cleveland House
and the Audubon House, and urges the Council
to pass an ordinance prohibiting any but metal,
stone or brick cornices on stone or brick build
ings hereafter erected
The Press also gives the following account of
a protractcd and desperate battle between the
firemen and flames on Carroll street:
The fire had swept victorously from Lake
two whole blocks nOrthward until it reached
Carroll street The next block from these to
Kiuzie street was covered with valuable lumber
and numerous dwellings High piles of dry
frst>class lumber filled the whole north front Of
chine shop of Mason &c Co., and the frame
buildings hanking it on either side, produced
huge sheets Of fire, which carried by a strong
wind, hurled clouds Of sparks over the space
to the northwest.
The Long John was directed to play on the
threatened lumber piles. Her pipcmen took
their stand on the street and "played away. -
The confagratiOn to the south of them ragged
and roaIed up to the sidewalk, envelOpng them
in hot sullocatng heat and smoke. Doors were
brought and stood up between them and the
fmiOus element, but so terribly exposed was
their situation, that their clothing several times
caught fire their hair was scorched and the
skin blistered ON their hands and face, and they
were hardly able to breathe and live in the
smoke Their board shelter was on fire several
times Still these heroes held their ground
pouring n strong and steady stream upon the
masses of lumber in front. They knew that i
he fre crossed the street it would burn up al
the property on three OF four blocks, including
the Milwaukee depot, Gacna grain warehouse
and several millions feet of lumber. But the
reach of the stream could not pr tect the Who'll,
front of the block and the fire eaped across III,
, street opposite Mason IL Cos shop, and made
dangerous Judgement among the lumber piles
A reinforcement was then ordered, the stream
of the "Atlautic' was withdrawn from Mum 4
ScOtrs grain warehouse, wtich was left ir
} charge of the Hope and Neptune, and sent tC
put out the fire that had made q Judgement il
the lumber The men who held the pipe wer,
almost roasted alive and suaocated to death -
But they maintained their desperate and doubt
} ful contest for nearly two long and anxious
hours.
Finally they succeeded in quenching the fir,
that had got a hold in the wood piles, and be
! tween them and the pipemen OF the "Lonl
John" stayed the victorious march Of the des
] troyer to the North These brave men descr,
more than thanks for their heroic behavior -
j. They received the need of admir,tion from
thousands Of spectators during the cOntinuaRc

New York Dcmocraric Nominations

The Cagger Regency Convention at Syracuse
nominated Alexander s. johnson for Judge
Court of Appeals, David r. Floyd Jones for
Secretary of State Sanford Church for Con-
trolIer, Lyman Tremain for Attorney General,
W. G. Skinner for Canal Commissioner, Isaac
VI Vanderpoel for State Treasurer, Van Rense-
Iaer Richmond for State Engineer, Noble S. El-
de1kin for State Prison Inspector, and John J..
Lewis, IT,, for Clerk Court of Appeals. The
ticket is the same as the one previously nomi.
nate by the Fernando Wood anti-Regency
Convention, with the single exception of his
candidate for Clerk of Court of Appeals. Ed
ward Timpson is on the Wood ticket for Clerk
of Appeals Court.
The resolutions adopted by both Conventions
on the Slavery question in the Territories are
shaped with great cautien so as to avoid COM
mitment to the Northern or Southern ultras in
the Charleston Convention. The N. Y. Herald
publishes the resolutions side by side, and ic-
mafks:
Thus, accepting the two resolutions as subs
stantialy the same, it will be perceived that
both factlons of the New York democracy, in
TenJuuclnE LuS beCllOHdl uOklnhs VI w lsc anu
Douglas, take the ground that over the subject
of slavery in the Territories Congress has no
power; - and that, having no power over the
subject, that body cannot exclude slavery from
any Territory nor 50 any law for the protec-
tion of slavery in any Territory of the Union,
The delegates appointed to the Charleston
Convention by the Regency Convention we've
instructed 20 act as unit in that body. The
Herads Albany correspondent divides them as
follows For Dickinson 26, Douglas 81, Scy-
mour 8, Guthrie o, Wise 4, Hunter |, Cobb l,
Holt I, Buchanan 2, orrl. He says the Dick
inson men do not all feel bound to observe the
unit rlle, that the Regency party are split
up among themselves and adds:
Who the Charleston delegation selected by
this Convention will be really for regarding the
Presidency cannot safely be concluded from a
hasty glance. While the friends of Mr.. Dick
inson believe that he haI been fairly treated,
and the more numerous friends of Mr.. Douglas
are quite satisfied, and while, too, the general
impression prevails that it ia a Douglas delega-
tion, a closer examination authorizes the sus.
picion that after all Seymour is at the bottom of
the business. The delegation embraces several
strong aud well known partisans OF Mr Sey-
mour, to wit StrykeT, Dandy, Cagger, Corning,
DC, who will exert great influence in shaping
its action. II is by no means forPgOne couclu-
sion that Douglas has the delegation from New
York to Charleston, or that from this moment
Mr.. Horaiio Seymour will not begin to loom up
as a candidate.
There are to be two delegations from New
Yotl; to Charleston. Mayor Wood and his party
desire an election of Delegates by conventions
in the Congressional Districts, and made p.o
vision for holding them before adjourning.
