Hung FOR THE NINErEESTH TmE.-A Western
Missouri eotemporary tells the following:
On Tuesday last, news came to this city that a
man was seen hanging between Independence and
Maxwels Landing. The Coroner was promptly
notified Of the fact and he, in the discharge of his
duty, as promptly repaired to the scene; but to
his surprise found the man alive, kicking, and
walking about as other men do, with no rope round
his neck-where the rope ought to be. He tthe
Coroner) made some inquiries about his victim, and
the old woman that is, Mrs. Elliott, the wife Of the
hung man, replied that he was down, but not dead !;
and further remarked that it was about the nine
teenth time he had attempted to hang himself, and
hadn't vet succeeded, but she'd be tetotay darned
if he might'nt hang the next time until he was
good dead that she would never cut the cord
again to let him breathe easy. We understand
that Elliott is in the habit of hanging himself every
time he has family jar and although he has made
so many attempts has never yet got without sight
| of the house, where his wife would not fail to cut
| him down before his wind Shortened

The Point Coupee Echo Of Saturday last has the
following:
sugar.making has become quite general in this
parish. The yield, so far, is below the anticipa-
lions of planters. With the exception Of our
nejghbor, Col. Claiborne, whose cane is yielding
nearly two hogsheads per acre, we learn the yield
has scarcely exceeded, on an average, hail
hogshead. The samples of sugar exhibited to Us
are of fair quality. The grinding season in or
parish will be Of short duration. Many OF our
largest planters will not grind and those who are
50 fortunate az TO have more than sufficiency Of
seed cane are having such favorable weather for
grinding their short crops that it Is probable by
the close Of November the crop viii be finished.
In view Of any contingency 70 the crop Of next
year, the planters, profiting by dear experience,
have adopted the wise rule Of ceasing to rely on
the rattoons, and have saved enough plant cane to
make fair crop. In the event Of favorable re-
suit Of the stubble cane, an unusually large crop
will result.
The Ayoyelles Organ Of Saturday says:
The weather has been much miIder and pleas
anter during the past week than it was the week
previous. We had some indications Of rain one or
two days. but as yet we haye the most favorable
showing for cotton packing.
The liver is rising slowly. Boats are good deal
troubled getting out and in at the mouth. Freghts
still keep up.
The Homer Ceres of Saturday has the following
For two weeks past the weather has been cool
and bracing, but this has been no bar TO the mos
qutoes, but seems to give them healthy vigorous
appearance. Travelling Is extremely disagreeable
on account Of them. The whole country is covered
with them night and day. The like has never been
seen in this parish.
Many Of the planters have commenced making
sugar, but there is universal complaint that very
inferior article is made and that 1t does not granu-
| late well. We are informed that the bud Of the
cane is killed and that much of the crop is sprout

| crop by the late storm cannot yet be ascertained
but it is much more serious than was at first imag
ined for in three weeks from it will be utterly

sprouted canes.

K1psAppERs AND MuRDERERs ARRBsrED.-We
have already given the details Of the kidnapping of
Jerry Boyd and wife, Of Galena, III. The Galena
Courier of the 9th says:
The gentleman who left here few days ago in
pursuit of the two negroes who had been kidnap-
ned from this place q short time since, returned
this morning, bringing with them the two negroes
they were in pursuit Of and also another which
had been kidnapped BY the same persons some six
weeks before from Dubuque, Iowa.. They. were
decoyed away by man calling himself George
Wilder, who was properly named John Goodwin,
and who was accompanied by his father-iD-law,
named Peter L. Bolton, both residents of Caldwell
county, Missouri. These two men murdered Jerry
Boyd, one of the kidnapped negroes, on the Both
of September last. near Iowa City, Iowa. These
men are respectfully connected in Buchanan county,
Mo-. about l4 miles south of the city of st. Joseph
| They were both arrested near st. Joseph. One Of
them, Bolton, the first captured was committed to
Jail in ST Joseph ON the charge Of kidnapping, in
| default of 5000 bail. The other, Goodwin, was
| taken charge of by the gentlemen from this city,
| who brought him within forty miles OF Hannibal,
/ Missouri on their way to this place, where he
4 slipped his irons and jumped from the car window
while the train was running at the rate OF thirteen
miles an hour, and escaped.
About two months ago they succeeded in decoy-
| ing away a woman from Dubuque named Mary Ba-
kerr and lately took from this place Mary Boyd
wife of Jerry Boyd, who was murdered, and a
mulatto girl about IL years old, the daughter of
| colored woman III this vicinity. When the gentle'
man from Galena arrived where these negroes
were the bargain was made. and the negro buyer
was at st. Joseph getting the money to pay for
them. The price for them was SLIGO. In the
meantime the fact of the murder of Jerry Boyd
came out through Mary Boyd, his wife. and infor
nation was sent here of the whereabouts of the ne
4 groes and the men.
How Jerry Boyd was murdered is thus stated;
We understand Mrs Boyd states that when tn
party had travelled three days out from Galena
thew encamped by night about sixteen miles froT
Iowa City. Here some movements made by Coco
win and Bolton excited the suspicious of Jerry thf
! all was not right, and he loaded his gun and rs
volver in the presence Of the kidnappers. The nes
; morning Goodwin and Bolton held consultation
Goodwin urging the necessity of getting rid of Jerr
by killing him. While jerry was sitting down nea
the wagon, Goodwin stepped up to him, sayin
# Jerry am afraid of yonn and fired, first shoe
r I ing him in the breast and then in the head. III
I murder was committed in the presence Of Mr.

Poverty of DIR. stockton.

In our ..Portraitr of this gifted but lily re-
com ensed divine, published some week. ago,
the fear was intimated hat the Biole Times
his latest effort in the publishing line,
against the tide Of popular neglect-was not
unlikely to share the fate OF many of his pre-
vious struggles. II ese fears were but too
we'll founded, for, in a few weeks afterwards,
the publication was abandoned for want of
means 10 continue it.
The following extract from the editors UaL-
edictory is significant comment. both upon
the difficulties which too often attend the
faithful minister OF God, who fails TO make

being practiced in large communities even in
imes of unusual relig GUS zeal.
1T seems hard. IN the mindst OF daily

We are sure that every one. after reading

Charleston Hotel keepers have adopted, SO
il is reported, bill of prices the minimum
