Law REPORT.



ExEcuroRs ACCOUNTS OF THE JONI WALKER
EsTATE.-In the matter Of the estate of John
Walker, deceased, the executors, 7. Webb
and Chas. Stewart, appeared in answer 10 q
citation, requesting them to show cause why
they had filed an account of their trust, that
an order might be made for distribution Of
the assets remaining uncollected.
Counsel for executors raised the question
whether it was the duty of the executors TO
transfer choses in action, and other assets in
kind, happening TO be in their hands at this
time, until certain questions now pending in
the other Courts were settled in relation to
the manner in which the legatees were enti-
tied to take under the will and the proceed
ing here appeared 10 him to be in contempt
of the authority of the Court already having
Jurisdiction of the matter. or
II was on the other side contended that
the suit pending in the Superior Court re-
lated to the brewery, and that was not in
question in this proceeding; that the exec
utors had no right to come into Court and
make bubbles about the construction of
John Walkers will. Their time had ex-
pired and there need be no difficulty as to
distribution of the assets, as the petitioners
were the parties entitled TO them, and had
agreed, themselves, TO what proportion they
should take.
Judge Hilton allowed an order that the
executors file their account next Saturday;
or if not ready by that time, should show
cause. The motion for order Of distribution,
was laid over until next week.
Judge Tilden filed a motion to have the
proceedings reserved 10 the Common Pleas.

BUSINESS MEMS sPRAYER-MEETING.-A larger
number of persons were in attendance at the
Business Mems Prayer-meeting, yesterday,
than usual, the room being literally jammed.
The chairman suggested the Importance OF
encouraging young converts to give in their
experience--excellent advice, and in accord
ance with the views expressed by us, week
or two since.
A gentleman rose and presented written
request for prayer in behalfof young man,
who had recently become convinced of the
sinfulness of his course, and his inability to
obtain salvation, except through the right
eousness Of the Redeemer.
A stranger said that once, while standing
with companion on the shores OF river,
he saw a man fall into the food, and would
have been drowned but for the timely assist
ance rendered by himself and his friend.
Thus it was in the religious world; we are
all sinking and drowning sinners, and can
only be saved by the help of Christ. Hewas
always able and always willing, and we had
but to ask in faith and our salvation was
sealed
One gentleman spoke of the elderly breth-
rem present who had been convertedin their
youth, as having long borne the burden Of
religion. We were indeed sorry TO hear this
expression from Christian. Religious ex-
ercises are rather privileges than duties, and
instead of being onerous, are certainly Che
reverse. SIT costs much, says an old pro-
verb, ito be religious; it costs more not TO be
so,n and we have always found religious ex-
ercises rather a recreation than task. i
people could be convinced that the service o.
| God is not burden, we would have many
more professors and practicers Of religion.

A PITTsBURGER FOUND DEAD IN HIS Bed
A Pittsburger, named Hamilton Weeds, was
found dead in his bed yesterday forenoon,
about eleven o'clock, at the Railroad Hotel,
corner of Broadway and Front-streets. He
had been engaged on some of the steamers
lying at the wharf, and since the 26th of June
had been stopping at the above-named hotel
OnSunday he complained of feeling unwell,
but ate his supper as usual and retired. As
he did not appear at breakfast yesterday
morning, the landlord became alarmed, callel
at his door but received no answer, and after
forcing his way into the room, found that he
must have been dead for some time.
Coroner Carey was called upon and an in
quest held upon the body which resulted in
avefdict of death from epilepsy. The turgid
condition of the face, the rigidity of the
muscles of the hands and feet, the congestion
of the conjunctiva and the distortion of the
neck, left little doubt in regard to the cause
of his demise. The deceased was about
twenty-five years of age and unmarried.

A New YORKER SwINDLED OUT OF A Thou
SAND DOLLARS IN A HoME-srREET BAGNIo.--A
New York merchant, whose name we refrain
from giving, went to a bagnio. on Home
street, night before last, and while there be-
came inebriated, and, in some mysterious
manner, was relieved of money and drafts to
the amount of nearly one thousand dollars.
Early yesterday morning he found himself in
the street very drunk, and so bewildered un-
der the influences of chagrin and pride that
he knew not whether to leave the city in
disgust or make an effort to recover his funds.
He at length concluded that the ways of a
great city were remarkably bad and that he
would pocket his metropolitan experiences
and carry them with him to New York,
where, we hope, they. may prove SO beneficial
as TO render any further lessons of this kind
entirely useless.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT IN Brown Co.-THE
MAYOR OF GEORGETOWN INSTANTLY KILLED,
AND THREE OTHERS DANGEROUSLY WOUNDED,
BY THE EXPLOSION OF A CANNoN.-Last Sat
urday evening, just before Douglas meet
ing, to be held at Georgetown in Brown Co.,
several persons were engaged in firing an old
cannon, when a premature explosion occur
red, the ramrod striking James 0usley,
the Mayor of the town, in the left temple,
and scattering his brains upon the grass also
carrying John Bailey distance of about
sixty feet, and very dangerously wounding
him. Ousley and Bailey are both young,
and without family; end it is hoped the latter
will recover.
On the Fourth of July while several per-
sons were firing the same cannon, similar
accident took place by which two persons,
Homer Higgins and Robert Glaise, the
former youth of eighteen, and the latter
about thirty and a. man of family, were so
severely wounded that it is doubtful if they
will recover.
The cannon is an old and very unsafe
piece, and was spiked after the accident.
0usley was warned not to fire the cannon,
but he said he was for Douglas, and would
do so if he died for it, When told, while
ramming the piece, to hold up his head, he
said he would prefer to be killed at once, to
being wounded as Higgins and Glaise had
been. ePoor fellow, he realized his fatal

Marrow Escape of Gnribaldi and His Men
from ShipwFeck.

Garibaldi and his little host narrowly
escaped destruction after leaving Sardinia,
and while on their way to Sicily. When the
two steamers were out at sea beyond the Sar-
dinian coast, Garibaldi gave orders that there
should be no lights ON board during the night.
Wishing to take little rest he left the deck
in charge of his second, desiring him not to
lose sight of his consort, which was COM
manded by Bixio. But this steamer was the
faster of the two, and after a few hours it be-
came so dark that she could no longer be
seen. Garibaldi was called, and he ordered
a lantern to be hoisted as signal, so as to let
Bixio see that he was too far ahead, and must
slacken his speed.
Bixio did, in fact, see the light; but know
ing Garibaldis order to have none on board
after nightfall he concluded that II was some
Neapolitan ship giving chase. q an instant
he wore his own vessel round, and steered
right against the supposed craft Of enemy,
with the intention Of running into her, and
knocking hole in her side, II pots But
when the two vessels neared each other,
Garibaldi, by the faint glimmering Of the
stars, saw and recognized his consort, and
having rlng the large bell on board, signal
previously agreed upon between himself and
Bixio, and springing to the wheel, he avoided
the collision. But for the chiefs nerve and
presence of mind the expeditionary force
would have been destroyed then and there,
and Garibaldi have been sent TO the bottom
by his best friend, who would have, perhaps
shared his fate. Ii ~ al .Uam

Particulars of the Late Horrible Murder
in Iowa-A Sanguinary Hoary.heuded
Nauafpr.

in Iowa-A Sanguinary Hoary-heuded
Monster.
The telegraph has already mentioned the
murder of woman and her husband and
their two children, in Iowa, by Johl KEEP
hart, and his subsequent execution by a mob
near Fairfield; and correspondent of the
Burlington, ,Hawkeye gives these particulars
of the fearful crime:
John Kephart formerly lived near Trenton,
in Henry County, and is well known in
Washington County, where he lived ten or
twelve years ago.
William Willis (carpenterl the father of the
boy from whom have obtained my informa-
ton, formerly lived in Muscatine, Iowa. The
boy remembers that John Kephart came to
Muscatine to move thefamily South. On the
journey, they stopped two months in Cass
County, NO., at a widow Snyder's, where
Kephart helped to husk corn. One morning,
soon after breakfast, his father, who had
eaten breakfast well, took suddenly sick and
died in less than an hour. The boys mother,
the murdered woman, Jane Willis, told him
that Kephart gave his father strychnine in his
food. After the death of Willis, it seems
they went to the Cherokee Country" where
Kephart kept grocery and sold whisky to
the Indians. This summer they moved near
Fort Des Moines. After living there some
weeks or months, they started for Kansas
City.
On Thursday they stopped near the bridge
at Eddyville, and camped out. Mrs. Willis
cooked supper, after which. complaining OF
being sickS laid down in the wagon and went
to sleep. In the night, sometime, the boy
awoke and saw that she had deep cash in
her head. The three children all got out OF
the wagon, and Kephart chased Joseph t.,
aged twelve years, and Maria Jane, aged
seven, about half an hour, under and around
the wagon with the ak in hand until they,
too, were killed. He then placed them by the
side of the mother and pounded their heads
with the wagon-hammer.
He left Eddyville soon after the murderous
deeds were finished, and travelled over thirty
miles to the place where he no doubt hoped TO
hide the unfortunate victims from human
eyes. A grey-headed old man, over sixty
years of age, travelling day and night with
an ox-team thirty miles with the dead bodies
of mother and two children in the wagon,
to find place of concealment l-the living
boy, James Harvey Willis, by his side-and
then when the place was found, he stripped his
victims put their garments into the wagon,
took the mother first and then the children,
and hid them under the water, placing a log
upon them to keep them down.
