Murder of a .. 5. Deputy marshal.

The Leavenworth Herald gives the following
particulars of the murder Of Leonard Arms, U. S.
Deputy Marshal at Topeka, Kansas, on the Goth:
AT the last November session Of the grand jury,
for the Second District, Ritchy was indicted for
robbing the post-office at Willow Springs, but re-
sisting the service Of the warrant, he again in
dicted for that ofiense.
On Friday, Leonard Arms, Deputy U. S. Mar
shall, was in Topeka for the purpose of arrestng
him. and in the afternoon went out to his house in
company with friend. Upon arriving and finding
Ritchy, he informed him that he had come to ar
rest him, when Ritchy asked him If he had war
rant ~ Upon his answering 81 Yes, he replied he
would resist, and drew revolver. Arms then told
him eff he did not arrest him then he would Ger
tainly do it at some other day." and left the house.
again attempt to arrest him. and placing his re-
yolver at half.coek, he again entered the house,
telling Ritchy he would arrest him then. Ritchy
raised his revolver, and retreating, told Arms not
advanced another step, when Ritchy tired-the
ball passing through his throat Immediately below
the chin, and killing him instantly.
Leonard Arms is from Wyandotte, where his
family now reside. He was man universally be-
liked, and leaves many friends to mourn his assas
sination.
John Rtchy is from Indiana to this country. he
is a Republican of the John Brown school, and, we
understand was engaged with him in his deeds OF
blood in this Territory. He is q large property
holder in Topeka, and prominent politician in his
party-havng served in the Legislature Of 1859.
Up to the hour when the stage left yesterday
morning, Rtchy had not been arrested The Sheriff
and deputy Sheriff Of Shawnee county were not to
be found, and, though he had fed, no efforts were
being made by the citizens to prevent his escape.
LArER.-Snce writing the above, we learn that
Ritchy has surrendered himself
Gen. James II. Lane has started from Lawrence
to conduct the trial, before Justice OF the Peace.
Ritchy shot at the companion Of Arms several
times, after he had killed him.

T,,e Arrest OF the Benicia Boy.

The Lonton Chronicle relates the following in
oidenss attending the arrest of John c. Heeuan by
the English authorities:
There was also an attempt to arrest Sayers, as
will be seen by the following from the London
Chronicle, of April 10th;
Captain Foster. chief constable of the Isle OF
Ely, in an official report to the Quarter Sessions,
Having received information that prize fight
was about to take place in the Isle of Ely, made
application to the Whittlesey bench, with the view
to have the intended combatants bound over to
keep the peace. The warrants were granted. One
superintendent was despatched to Peterborough to
apprehend John Heenan, the American pugist,
who had left before the arrival of the officer An
other superintendent was sent to Newmarket to
take into custody Thomas Sayers, the English pu-
glist. He reports as folows:-" Mr. Benyon was
in the town, but refused to back the warrant, stat
ing that it was stretch of power; the man had
committed no ofiense; as chief magistrate he
would neither sign it himself, nor permit it to be
signed at Newmarket I returned to Ely, being
powerless. did not see Sayers, but no more no.

Here are the particulars Of Heenan's capture,
and what TRANSFERRED:
The officers proceeded to the Lock House. Zach

not allow them to go up stairs without producing a
search warrant. Sergeant Lowndes then went to

SoAspALous AFFAIR. - The Chatauqne county
IN " Republican has the following:
On Friday night of last week, fifteen young men
and five young women, including one married
woman went to the house of Elisha Whipple, in
the south part of Portland, we are informed, and
broke it open, and took one OF his girls, young
woman, out of bed and tarred and feathered her.
The reason alleged for the act is that she was OF
disreputable character and the house disorderly.
The perpetrators were on Wednesday all afrest-
ed and brought before Justice Young of this will
age and gave bail for their appearance at the next
Criminal Court. For the credit of the crowd en-
gagged in the act, perhaps we should say that we
were informed that the women did the tarring and
featherng, the men modestly retiring while the
ceremony was being performed. As far as We are
able to learn the facts, Mr.. Whipple some time
since lost his wife. and was left with q family Of
small children, and this young woman, who had
been living away. came home to help take care of
the family, and recently suspicion has been excited
that the house was disorderly; and this refined
method was adopted by the young people of the
neighborhood to reform it,

in Medical Practice.
lFron, The New York Times, April 2lst.


4 short time since the child Of one of our up
town families was suddenly seized with sickness
which seemed so serious that Immediately the fam
lily physician man of long beard, long bills, and
its Accomplishments, was sent for in great haste;
but alas, he came not, and the sudden elimination
of the disease into terrific convusion compelled
the family to abandon their regular doctor and
send for the nearest one who proved to be an edu-
Gated man of the old school-a serious objection,
indeed, to the family but which, in their distressed
situation, could not well be helped. The character
of the difficulty was quickly perceived, and an
emetic speedily removed quantity of undigested
and improper food, restoring the child to compara-
tive health.
The thanks of the whole family were prodigaly
bestowed upon the physician the preserver of their
child who was requested to continue his attend
ance till the child was entirely recovered. The
next morning brought the tardy DIR. Pellets, who
was met with storm of reproaches for his neglect
and nattention, and with the statement that if they
had waited for him their child would now have been
corpse, and that now, as the doctor had done 80
much for them, they could never repay him. and he
should continue to attend the child; and an intima-
ton held out that they should continue to en-
ploy him in the future. Dr. Pellets could not afford
to lose SO valuable family without struggle 10

my dear madam, the alarm you have been under,
and the danger in which jour darling beautiful has
