land Advertiser thus mentions murder COM
mitted on the 22d inst.
1t appears that a citizens named John
Brady, who resides on Sauvie's Island, was
returning home from this city where he had
sold some firewood, in a Aat6oat accompani-
ed 10y his wife, and also an Italian named
julien. The boat was towed to the head Of
the Island 10y the steamer Vancouver, and
shortly after the steamer cast off from the
fiatboat, the Italian purposely commenced Il
dispute with Brady relative to some matter
Of business between them, and finally Julien
drew his sheath knife and rushed upon Bra
dy, stabbiug him in the breast and almost
instantly killing him. This horrible act was
perpetrated in much less time than it takes
to record it, and what adds more horror to
the offense is the fact Of its having been COM
milted in the presence of the murdered mans
wife. The moment Julien stabbed Brady he
reached his hand Inside of his victims breast
and drew forth a wallet said to contain over
two hundred dollars, which he appropriated
to his own use, and then jumped ashore.
The people were in pursuit of the murderer
NEGRO QUEsrIoNs IN New YoRK AND MARY
LAND.--A letter from New York, dated Nov
10th, says:
Among the side questions decided at the
polls on Tuesday, in this State and in Mary
land, were two which had especial reference
to negroes. In New York the question was,
"Shall free suffrage be extended to the me-
groes? ?" This was decided in the negative,
by vote so large that it may be called
almost unanimous 10 Maryland. the ques-
ton put to the people was, the acceptance
or rejection of the act passed by the last
Legislature for the ensavement of free ne
groes residing in that State. The act was
defeated by almost unanimous vote.

The ALLIES IN CnINA.-Latest advices from
China state that Sang.ko lin siu had succeed
ed in surrounding the Allies on their m rch
from Tein-sin to lung. chau, but had been re
pulsed with severe loss. The Allies had lost
several prisoners, however among whom
were Mr. Harry Parks and Lord Elain's Sec.
retary. In return for this treacherous am
buscade, Sir Hope Grant had given up lung
chau to plunder. threatening, at the same
time, to raze Pekin itself with the ground
should hair of the prisoners heads be hurt
1t seems this was a very necessary threat as
the chinese had often vowed the most terri
BILE revenge upon Mr.. Harry Parks, should he
ever fall into their hands The latest ac-
counts speak of the Allies as being within
sight of Pelling, and asserted that the priso.
ners were still uninjured-only kept securely
confined 1t will be remembered that Mr.
Parks was Consul at Canton, and took
prominent part in the "Lorcha affair" The
Chinese, therefore pretend to attribute the
war to him hence their desire to boil him
in oil

In the year 1859, many of The Teachers

ing for lis object the Improvement of IFS
members in the Science ol Teaching, and
the general ADVANCEMENT Of Education. -
BY the Constitution then adopted, the mem-
bers were TO hold quarterly meetings; its
annual meeting 10 be in September of each
year.
Other counties have their Associations
in successful operation, and why not How
ard? 1t is high time this noble old county
should awake 10 her true interest and posi-
stion in this regard. Howard, with her So
cial and civil advantages, intelligence and
wealth, should not be behind other Counties
This movement devolved upon her instruc-
tors. TO them is committed the sacred and

each Teacher makes the duty his own. and
