MANY staid and respectable citizens endorsed
her paper for thousands, but the pay day at

More Citizens Of Kentucky Outrnged-Ons

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Comms
cial furnishes the following account Of new
outrage BY the slAvshOlders
It appears the origin of the troubles grew
out of some, or perhaps ali of the expelled
being unwilling to Join in the party for recap
turing the cold man Bell, who was taken from
the Brandenburg jail by his two noble sons
having first been kidnappe and taken from hil
home in Indiana On charge of enticing away
saves, and because the expelled would not join
the recapture party, they have slice been looked
on as being anti slavery.
Some time since, the murdered man, an old
resident, liberated bis slaves. He was at once
ordered to leave, but not having done so up tC
some three weeks ago, drunken mob called al
his house sfter night, (he sitting quietly read
ing at his freside at the time). He went out
was told that he must leave at once; he refused
saying ho had violated no law, and being on hir
own premises, should not leave, at the SAINT
time told them to leave, when he was twice
stabbed, aad died in twenty minutes. Thl
murderer was arrested and let to bail at egh
hundred dollars Nine days since fifteen o
the citizens were ordered to be out of thl

SINGULAR CASE OF Po rsoNINa BY A Boy.
A remarkable case of attempted murder nv
poison has occurred lately, as we learn from
the Burlington Free Press, at MoutpeIier. VI.
A little child of Hon. q. W. Willard. willie
drinking his milk, was seized with violent
vomiting. The milk wa examined ard fonna
to contain corrosive suolimate enou kh to kin
a dozen men. The pois on had eyide 1tIv heen

the child's cup, aud the sudden violent re-
action of the chiid's stomach was All thai
saved its life. The wonder was, ,,ho conId
have done it-for the serv4ntsa a girl and an
Irish boy named John Roakes. wer e considered
trusty, and We're both exceedingly fond of the
child. Finally suspicion fell dpon Roakes
who con fessed that he put the poison in the
chiid's cup, not from any ill will to Mr. and
Mrs. W. who had always treated him kindly
or TO the baby, bat simply from hatred TO the
servant girl, with whom he had some trivial
quarrel, and on whom he hoped the snsnicinn
of committing the crime would fail He
also owned to having taken and des troyed by
burning them, some valuable artic les of cIoth
ing, which had disappeared from time to time
expecting that the girl would be charged with
the theft. He was Immediately arraigned be-
fore the Court in session at the time plead
guilty, and was sen fenced to eight years, i'm
prisonmtnt.

INDEPENDENCE. GRAYsON Co. VA

October 27th 1850. s
On Saturday last, with a party of genlle-
men and ladies, L visited the top of Point
Lookout mountain. The day was somewhat
foggy, but the prospect was very fine. Noun
tains. hills, valleys, creeks, New river, and
Blue Ridge, all in view, and all grand or beau
tiful. On the very summit of this mountain,
a level space of several acres, extends, over
arched by dwarf beech and oak and affording q
q delightful promenade. AT either terminu us
of this the eye looks abroad on two Of the
finest landscapes l have ever seen. This
mountain is frequently visited, and bids fair
10 become a famous place of resort.
Hon. John Randolph Tucker is expected to
address the people of Grayson on Tuesday
and Wednesday next.
About sunset, on Saturday, rain began to
fall, and fell in torrents till morning, contin-
uing to fall, though not SO fast, until about
noon to- day. The damage done to corn on
the l1Wgrounds is considerable, and no doubt
many dams, mills and bridges have been
swept away. l learn that New river has not
been SO full, at any other time, since 1910.
Independence seems to be looking up. Sew
eral new buildings are in progress. l hope
cur citizens will enjoy the pleasant visits of
the Dispatch for many years to come.
