The Brownsville Murder.
THE MURDERER COMMITS SUICIDE.

From the La Crosse Republican of Tuesday, July II.
The Brownsville Murderer, Jacob Rhi>
der, the man who murdered two women at
Brownsville, Minnesota, last week has not
yet been caught. He was at the house of
man named Hogmeyer in Houston county
on Friday evening, the 18th inst, where he
procured food. He said he would never
allow himself to be arrested alive. He also
said that he wanted his money which be
left in bis house, before he goes away and
is determined to have it. He is probably
in the bluffs or forests of Houston county
yet, and it is likely he still has some means
of communicating bis wishes to his friends.
There is reward of $500 offered for his re-
covery. 1t is expected the Governor will
also offer a reward. If Rhider is yet in
that county, he will probably be eau ht, as
large numbers of people are in pursuit of
him.
LATER-THE MURDERER COMMITS SUICIDE.
The Brownsville, (Minn, murderer, ia
cob Rhider, returned to his home last night,
about midnight, making his entrance quietly
through back window. The object of his
visit was either to get his money, or murder
his wife, or do both. He had the knife with
which he murdered his mother-in-law and
sister, law, and also had his loaded gun.
The moment he struck light, the vigilance
committee or citizens police surrounded the
house, and cut off his escape. He drank
freely Of whisky while in the house. Mr..
Goodell approached him and asked him,
Jacob, will you give yourself up?" He
answered, EYES," and Immediately placed
the muzzle of his loaded gun in his mouth,
and with his bare foot, moved the trigger,
and killed himself on the spot. He has
saved the county considerable expense, and
gone to nell sooner than the devil wanted
him

ping back, I gave the fatal axe a full swing
and struck him again, again and again, once
upon the head, once on the back, and once
more upon the head, which felled him to the
floor, and he lay dead at my feet, side by
side with the captain.
Ny bloody work was DONE
Dead men tell no tales

now was free to reap the reward OF my
work.
I did not feel the slightest regret for what
l had done, and went about removing the
bodies, as coolly as though they had been
so much lumber.
l took rope and bent it on to the feet of
the elder Watts, hauled him on dock, and
threw him over the quarter. I then hauled
the captain out in the same manner, and
threw him over; and then going to mid.
ships, lifted the body of the younger
Watts, and plunged him into the sea by the
starboard side.
then threw the axe overheard, and as
soon as had done this changed the course
of the sloop, and ran in close to the Hook.
My intention was to run the sloop up the
North river, and then fire her but came
near running her on the Dog Beacon
abreast of Coney Island and Staten Island
lighthouse, after which 1 fouled with a
schooner and carried away the bowsprit, so
l put the money, and such other articles of

tally that seemed to dog my steps, it seems
as though the fend who so long had stood
by me in every emergency, had deserted me
at last, and had left me to my own weakness.
But l never thought of this until after
my arrest. had no shadow of presenti-
ment that should be checked so suddenly
and brought to justice, and on my return to
New York, made arrangement to 60 away
with my family as coolly as if nothing had
occurred which should counsel me to use
caution.
But on that fatal night when 1 awoke
from deep sleep to find the officers of the
law standing by my bed, for the first time fear
overcame me, and grew weak and faint as
a baby. Great drops of sweat started out
on my forehead and all over my body, and
then l realized that at last the master
whom l had served so long had really de-
serted me and abandoned me to my fate.
But to all outward appearance choked
these feelings down, and none who saw me
dreamed of what was passing within.
My task is done. l have related all the
awful details of my life with as much mi
nuteness as can, and now nothing is left
me but to prepare to die.
l ask no sympathy, and expect none. l
shall go to the gallows cursed by all who
know the causes which will bring me there,
and my only hope is that God will in his in
finite mercy grant me that spirit of true re-
pentance which may lead to pardon and for
giveness in the world to Gomez

AT Bowness church, England, a young
gentleman put his hat under his seat, and
shortly afterwards two progressing young
ladies sat next him. At the conclusion of
the service the ladies left the church first,
and the gentleman stopped in search of his
hat, and to his surprise found it gone. He
called the sexton, and applied to that worthy
functionary for advice, who suggested that
it might have been caught in the ladies'
crinoline and entaDgled in the crinoline
sure enough it was After bobbing against
one of the young ladies' legs for distance
of about twenty yards, the hat dropped out,
much to the establishment of those following

The State Of Ireland.

A correspondent of the Daily News,
writing on this subject, says:
1t cannot possibly be considered satisfac-
tory, that amongst all the acknowledged
strides which Ireland has made since 1851
in material prosperity, emigration should
so persistently continue, and to such de-
gree that no less than $4,000 left their
homes 10 1859 for distant lands. The exc.
dus continues at present at least 10 as great
a ratio, and according to the most recent
accounts, the population of the country is
now 563,50O persons less than it was in
1851, when the last census was taken. 1t
cannot be with Indifference as to the result
that we observe, the eagerness with which
small lots of land, whenever offered for sale,
have been purchased for the last two or three
years, and are still purchased by small farm
ers at most extravagant prices, nor the high
rents at which small holdings, when they
become vacant, are Immediately hired.
And it is still less possible for the well
wisher of Ireland to notice the continuous
falling off in the culture of cereal crops, and
to observe in a totally opposite direction
the enormous increase in the growth of POI
tatoes, without the greatest anxiety as to
the consequences. l find, according to the
latest statistical returns, that the number OF
small holdings Il speak of those from to
13 acres) is increased 5000 since 1855, that
the cultivation of cereal and green crops
has in the same period fallen off l95,O6O
acres, but that the growth of potatoes has
increased 218,0OO. In 1859, no less than
100000 acres were planted with roots
alone, or, as nearly as possible, one-third oil
the entire quantity of land under pillow OF
manual cultivation throughout the whole
land. Now, it is quite clear that some
anomalous evil must exist, or that some de-
feet must prevail in the administrative sys-
TEN, when nation in time of peace and
prosperity, loses in eight years nearly 1.-THE
Of its population.

JAMES, THE NovEL1sr.-When Mr.. James
was young man, bis cousin was about to
marry the daughter of an eminent lawyer of
the time, and the title deeds of this gentle
mans property were, at the request of the
father of the young lady, submitted to his
examination. The keen lawyer discovered
that the parents of the gentleman, although
moving in the best society of London, had
never been married. Mr.. James was made
acquainted with this awkward fact, and at
the same time informed that be was the heir
at law. The match was about to be broken
off, and much distress occasioned on every
side, when Mr.. James, having quietly taken
possession of the property, went at once to
the unhappy young man, his relative, and
conveyed to him the whole of the property,
which amounted to a very handsome indie.

Aesuscitating Persons Apparently
'..-. Drowned.

We find the following in "Braithwaite's
Retrospect" and advise all to read, cut it
out and post it up in conspicuous place
more skill in the treatment of persons ap.
parently drowned is much needed:
This new method, according to its adyo-
cate, DR.. Fl. r. Sylvester, possesses manv
advantages over the "ready method" Of
Marshall Hall !; it is easy of performance,
and may be employed along with those 9TH
er means IN which so much confidence has
hitherto been placed.
The Sylvester Method is simple imita-
ton of natural deep inspiration, and is eff.
fected by means of the same muscles as are
employed by nature in that process. In
deep inspiration, we lift the ribs and ster.-
mum by the pectoral and other muscles
which pass between the chest and the shout
ders so in the "new method" the ribs and
sternum are lifted through the Intervention
of the muscles, by steadily extending the
arms up by the side of the patients head. In
this way the cavity of the chest is enlarged,
tendency to a vacuum is produced, and
rush of air Immediately takes place into the
lungs.
Expiration is brought about by simple
compression of the sides of the chest by the
patients arms. Thus "the arms of the pa
tient are to be used by the operator as ham
dies to open and close the chest
The following rules are to be observed
in inducing artificial respiration by this new
method.
l. Position. Place the patient, on his
back, with his shoulders raised and support
ed on folded article of dress.
2. 10 maintain q free entrance of AR into
the windpipe.-Draw forward the tongue,
and keep it projecting beyond the lips. By
raising the lower jaw the teeth may be made
to hold it in proper position.
3. 10 initiate the movements of respiration.
Raise the patients arms upwards by the
sides of the head, and then extend them
gently and steadily upwards and for few
moments. This action, by charging the
capacity of the chest, iduces inspiration.
Next turn down the arms, and press them
gently and firmly for few moments, against
the sides of the chest. Forced expiration
is thus effected.
Repeat these measures alternately, DELHI
erately, and perseveringly fifteen times in
minute.

JOHN G. HEENAN, the American pugilist
who has gained so much notoriety by his
fight with Sayers, the so-called champion of
England, arrived in the Vanderbilt on Sat-
urday night. A number of gamblers and
sporting men, together with a few of our
federal and city officials, had arranged to
give him a hearty reception, but the late
hour at which the Vanderbilt arrived pre-
vented it. Macdonald, his trainer, arrived
with him. They spent the Sabbath in the
liquor saloon, receiving the congratulation
of their friends aud admirers.-New York

LAST SURVIVOR OF BUNKER HILL.-Da-
vid Kinnison, who long survived his con-
federates of the famous Boston tea party,
was living in 1851, in Chicago, at the ex.
traordinary age of one hundred and fife en-
years. He has since passed away. Ralph
Farnham, the last of the Bunker hill heroes,
still lives, although he has nearly attained
span and half of the space allotted to
man. His one hundred and fourth birthday
was celebrated at Milton Mills on the 7th
Although no pains were taken to extend
notice of the event, beyond the immediate
vicinity of the veterans residence, a very
large concourse of people was in attendance
The features of the occasion were an address,
and one hundred and four greetings from
twelve-pounder, and dinner, enlivened with
toasts and speeches. Mr.. Farnham, we
learn, was not in the midst of the battle.
Having been enrolled only on the day pre-
vious, it was his lot to be detailed among a
guard to take charge of the artillery and
baggage, at some distance from the redoubt.
In So close a proximity to the principal
scene of strife, the observations which be
made, and distinctly recollects to this day,
are highly interesting, and we trust they
will be given to the public by some compe-
tent pen. When we reflect how few persons
living can even remember the event Itself
as child of twelve at that time would now
be ninety-fve years old-a living actor in
the bloody drama becomes at once subject
of interest, respect and generation.

The FOWLER DRFALCATIoN.-Th New

ave are pleased to learn that the Fowler
committee, consisting of Messrs. Isaac Bell,
Hiram Cranston, Elijah Purdy, DR.. Crane,
and DIR: W. w. Sanger, holding their week.
ly session at the New York Hotel, are
doing even better than they had reason to
expect. Already they have collected over
100000 towards reimbursing the Govern
ment for MIR. FOwer's deficiency. We are
informed that numbers of the persons to
whom Mr.. F. in his palmy days lent large
sums of money, without taking the memo
ran6um or written acknowled gment have
generously come forward and paid in the
hands of the committee the entire amount
due. This makes US think better of human

DecIdedIN Cool.

The Sheriff is busy on the streets and
throughout the county button-holing Re-
publican and Opposition voters, seeking to
exact promises OF support and influence for
his reelection. Yet he is the man who in
trudes himself into Republican meeting
and breaks it up in disorder by his imperti-
nent interference, and winds up the pro-
gramme by calling for three groans for Lin
coin. He is the man who says that the Re
publicans are black as the hinges of hell, ="
and in the Court House and in the country
school houses exults over the aptitude of the
simiIe. He is daily insulting Republicans
by his Misrepresentation and falsifying their
principles. Yet he has this early commenc-
ed hugging them for their votes. He and
his whole Ba5ytown ticket had not sufficient
confidence in their own fitness and claims
for their respective Offices, and had to pro-
cure the endorsement of a packed, pre-ar-
ranged, odious convention, and they should
and must look to the friends Of that eonUen-
ton for their votes. Gavitts opponent is in
every respect his equal, and in the Jefferso-
nian requisites for office is decidedly his su-
perior.

peaDLast Friday we charged that the
Crescent City Band was grossly insulted a
night or two before, by party of the Union
Guards, in front of Mr.. Kratz's residence.
The Enquirer denied our statement in ex-
plicit terms, and called on rs for the name
of the Douglas man or men who had thus
insulted the Band. We have heard the
name of one of the persons implicated. 1t
is Adam Wallace. He is the one who COM
menced the fuss. He is said to have been
drunk at the time, but seemed to know what
he was doing. There were several others
who Joined in the rowdyism, whose names
we presume we could get by inquiry.
The members of the Band confirm our
statement in regard to the disgraceful
affair.

TREMENDOUS Flow OF OLA BARREL OF
OIL PER MINUTE.-The most extraordinary
of the many extraordinary oil wells discov-
cred in Pennsylvania lately, we read of in
the Erie Observer. The well was opened at
Tideout, Erie county, on the 10th inst, by
Rev. Mr.. Hequembourg. The Observer
says: 4" At a depth of i75 feet oil was
struck and it has since been coming to the
surface in a voluntary flow of one barrel per
minute! Think of this, We men who are
anxious to get rich. AT $I4 per barrel, a
low estimate, this well yields its owner $20,-
l6O per day. We are assured by parties
who have visited the well that there is no
humbug in the statement; that it positively
yields its barrel per minute!'

EDITORS JoURNAL.-On Thursday last,
August 3oth the Epworth Union Sabbath
School held Picnic at the Epworth
NJ. E. Church, two miles west of Newburg
| The Superintendent, Mr.. j. R. Bell, had.
some two weeks previously, kindly invited
us to attend. In company with some very
interesting lady friends, after an hours
drive through clouds of dust, we found
ourselves in the beautiful grove adjoining
the church. A roStrum for musicians and
speakers, with seats for the accommodation
of the School and its numerous friends, had
been conveniently arranged by the commit
tee of arrangements. While the people
with their children were gathering from
East, West, North, and South, the string
baud from the Burg, led by Mr.. Charles
Twitchell, discoursed sweet music to the de-
light of all. At 10 o'clock the congrega-
ton Numbering several hundred) was
called to order and the programme announc-
ed by the Superintendent. Mr.. Frank Rat
cliff, the well and favorably known musician,
led the School in an appropriate hymn latter
which Rev. Mr.. Grimm led in prayer. Then
there was music by the Band, after which
Rev. Mr.. Gillett, pastor of the Locust street
NJ. E. Church Of this city made. one of his
inimitable speeches, q sketch, of which /
would like to give you, did time aud space
permit. Suffice it to say, that the close at
tention and approving, smiles of his audi
ence were proof positive that the Reverend
gentleman was most happy in the choice
and treatment of his subject ....
The Band again favored, Us. with another
OF It's sweet airs, after which your cores
pondent talked some fifteen minutes to those
present. Singing by Mr.. Ratcliff and the
young folks followed, after which we were
all invited by the Committee-Messrs. Bell,
Wesley, WetheFs, Marion, Frame, and
ethers-to the q Hill y for dinner. And
just such another dinner we never did see.
The table was some $50 feet in length and
loaded doacn with everything good to eat
The spacessbetween the dishes were filed
with clusters of rich grapes, and two barrels
of newly-made cider were "on tap" to
which the boys gave particular attention.
The ladies who got the dinner up, deserve
great praise for the bountifuI supply of good
things-morea than enough to satisfy twice
the number present.
After dinner we returned to the seats,
where we were entertained alternately by
the Band and Mr.. Ratclif7s Choir, the old
and young enjoying themselves in social
chit-chat till about o'clock, when we de-
parted for home, sweet home.p
Thus ended day spent pleasantly and
proftably. May kind Heaven bestow a
thousand blessings upon the Parents, Teach
ers, and Children, of Epworth Union Sab
bath School G.
