WASHINGTON. The proceedings Of the
House of Representatives on the Oh inst,
exhibited the strength of the Opposition TO
great advantage. Mr.. Forney was chosen
Clerk on the FIRST ballot, and Mr.. Hoffman
of Maryland Sergeaut-at-arms. Mr. Forney
was the first choice Of the Anti-LecOmpton
Democrats who resoutely stood by the Re
publican candidate for Speaker from the
first; and the promptness and unanimty
with which the Republicans reconized this
claim is most satisfactory feature, of the
protracted contest. The action of the Re-
publican party in both these cases eminently
honorable to all concerned Seldom has
any party exhibited a more resolute bearing,
and at the same time more becoming
temper, than has now been manifested in
the election of the officers of the House
The country cannot fail to see in which
political organization, temperate cOunses,
order, good conduct, and moderation pre-
vail nor where it is necessary to look for
passion, turbulence, insulting language fac
tious purposes aud tratorous threats of
dissOlving the Uuion and breaking up the
Government. The members Of that Oppo-
stion have fairly earned respect aud con-
Sideralion of all just and reasonable men
throughout the country.

A HTurder-.AImOst,

Oar quiet citizens have been somewhat ex-
cited for several days past, in consequence Of
brutal assault upon an inoffensive man by the
name of Pray, who for the past 80 years has
lived isolated from the world, and followed The
useful vOcatson Of shoe-making. We have re-
Trained from giving earlier publicity tc the affair,
10 the hope that some satisfactory light might
be thrown upon the dark deed. In consequence
Of Mr.. P.'s secluded habits, several days elaps.
ed before his neighbors became fully aware of
the atrocious outrage that had been perpetrated
upon him. His own statement Of the fact, is,
that about ssven o'clock on the evening of
Wednesday, the 25th of January, a stranger
came into his shop and wanted rip mended in
the seam Of his boot which he then pulled of
and handed to Mr. P, who Immediately com.
menced preparing thread for that purpose /;
whereupou, without another word being said
the ruffian Immediately knocked him down, aud
beat him seuseless and then, as if acting upon
the maxim that dead men tell no tales" he re-
sorted TO the garroting process, which was in
tended as tinisher upon the old man. as the
black marks visible on his throat l3 days after
wards, would plainly indicate
In the melee, the light was extnguished, and
the old man shouted for help, but soon became
unconscious, until some time in the night, he
found himself cropping about in the dark Just
coming to himself in very bewildered state
II is not believed the old man had personal
enemy on earth, but he has been suspected of
having some money by him, which doTbtess
was the only incentive to the foul deed, aud from
all the circumstances there is little room for
doubt that the wretch contemplated the double
crime of robbery and murder and that he be-
came alarmed from some cause, before the con-
snmatiou of his designs, and made nasty re-
treat, leaving the said boot behind him, which
We trust may yet lead 10 his detection.
Mr.. PRAY describes the fellow us tall. with
rather full flush face. sandy hair, and about "a
years old, wearing black hat, aud frock coat
of a dark or brown color. but not black The
boot is a well made kip, for the ef, foot slim
aud long, probably made on ten size last

may ree0llect having seen person answering to
the above description, ON the night of the 25h

ious circumstances which may lead to his detec-
ton.
Let all who can examine the boot, which may
be found with the Sheriff. A liberal reward
will he paid for any information which may lead
to the detection aud conviction of the assassin.

to this affair will be duly appreciated and

VILLAGE WALKs.-There are portions of our
village that are sadly deficient 10 walks and
perhaps none more so than that extending from
the Baptist to the Congregational churches.
Certainly no portion Of the village, considering
the children in attendance at the Public schools
is more travelled over than this The fact that
two Of our churches, and our public schools
are situated on this black, makes this appeal to
the authorities and property holders a strong
one and we cannot believe, hut that our efficient
Mayor and the Council will take this matter in
hand. A cross walk should also be provided
from the centre alley Of the Park to the school
houses, for the accommodation of Jhe schools.
1t is painful to see both children and teachers
in soft weather, fordng the mud that lies be-
tween these points.
