ly Thrashed.
A fellow calling himself o. s. Berry,
pedler of patent cider mill and press, who
for the last two months has been operating
in Tippecanoe and adjoining counties,
stopped at the farm of Mr.. Martin, veal
thv farmer in Clinton county, who is the
father of two pretty girls, aged respective
" twenty and seventeen, and three stall
wart sons. The vender of the cider mills
by his smooth talk, at once made friends
with the family and decided impression
on the youngest daughter. The farmer
bought mill an invited Berry to visit the
house whenever convenient, an invitation
which was accepted, Since which time he
has been in the habit of calling once or
twice week, when be was treated in
hospitable manner. On Saturday last he
invited the young lady, to whom he had
been paying particular affection, TO take
walk, and while out persuaded her to
elope with him, making an appointment
to NEE. .her on Tuesday morning, when
they would come to this city and take the
2 go A. NJ. train for Chicago, where he had
wealthy relatives residing, and the nuptial
rites could be solemnized. Making an ex-
cuseto visit neighbor, the young lady met
him at the time appointed, and the two
reached Lafayette Tuesday evening and
took quarters at private boarding house,
where Berry had been in the habit of stop
ping when in the city. By some means
the father learned that his daughter was
net at the neighbors's she had proposed to
visit, but had been seen in a buggy with
Berry. Suspecting all was not right, him
self and sons started out to hunt the mis-
sing daughter, and traced the couple to
this city. Here for while the track was
lost, but having great confidence in their
own ability as detectives, the friends did
not secure the assistance of any officers,
but watched the different trains going out.
Taking position at the market space, the
father aud two sons kept close look out
until about one o'clock, when just as the
engine was backing down to the junction
to take the Chicago train, the couple
made their appearance, thinking from the
ringing of the bell their train had arrived.
The father took charge of the romantic
young lady, who fell sobbiag into his arms,
when discovered, while one of the broth
ers paid particular attention to Mr.. Berry
giving him a severe thrashing, backing
both his eyes and causing him to cry out
for quarter, which attracting the attention
of several persons who were waiting fol
trains, the enraged counlrymen was taken
off, and the patent cider mill pedler, bruis-
ed and bleeding, made himself scarce, sat
isfed that it was dangerous experiment

big brother. Berry is undoubtedly an i'm
poster, and did not receive any more punish
ment than he richly deserved, while the
young lady escaped being the victim of a

son which should be of benefit for a life

How MANY VoTEs DID Nh. DOUGLAS GET.-
We hear it claimed frequently by Mr.. douglas
friends hereabouis that he had received 2l211s
in the Baltimore Convention. The editor ofthc
Ohio Statesman. supporter of Mr.. D. was in
Baltimore during the sitting of the Convention
and is presumed to know exactly how the vote
did stand. He says:
'~The combined electoral college was 303 votes;
but by a secession first at Charleston and anoth-
er at Baltimore, the Convention was reduced
until there was but 2l21s votes in it, being 9015
votes less than full Convention. Two-thirds
of full Convention would be 202. On the
second ballot Judge Douglas received 1917
votes, beng 201 votes less than two-thirds Of
of the votes given, and thereupon and accord
ing to usage he was unanimously declared the
nominee of the Convention for President"
The greatest real stength of Douglas at any
time in the Convention was only l36 votes, and
whatever be received beyond that was OBJ
tanned through the new and unfair rule by which
the votes of delegates opposed to him were cast
for him by the majorities of delegations in favor
of him, and the votes of individual delegates
in favor OF him were cast for him in delega-
tions wherein the majority were opposed to
him; and through the admission of bogus del
egates and delegations, ousting the regular
ones. By the new and unfair rule. (Which was
sprung upon and adopted by the Convention
before all the members who voted for it were
aware Of its effect, and which worked both
ways to the advantage of Douglas, and to the
disadvantage of other candidates. Douglas OBJ
tained Is anti-Douglas votes in the New York
delegation, 81 or 10 minority votes in the
Pennsylvania delegation, and scattering ones in
other delegations, which gave him l521s votes
an apparent majority of IL, at Charleston. wi hen
really only l36 out of 303 were in his favor.
But with all this, and even after the admission
of the bogus delegates at Baltimore, all of whom
voted for him, Mr.. Douglas failed to get the
requisite two-thirds vote, and his pretended
nomination was therefore not regular or binding.
The Douglas men went into the Convention de-
termined to have douglas or nobody" and
broke up in consequence.

Coshocton the place, of holding the Republican
Congressional District Convention. And what
for? To put in nomination Mr.. HELMcK? 1t

gA CORRESPONDENT of the Journal o

G- A correspondent of the Journal Of
Commerce gives, with due formality, a
little after-dinner speech of Mr.. John Van
Buren, in which that distinguished politi
clan declared his adherence to the cause OF
Breckenridge and Lane. "Gentlemen,'
said the Prince, to the jolly company at
the table, "Gentlemep, there is one family
that got back safe into the Democratic
party to stay for life. 1t is the Van Buren
family; and if Senator Douglas only knew
the long, dreary road he had to travel, he
would in my opinion, take the straightest
rout back into the Democratic camp"

rEThe Hon. D. S. Dickinson having made
violent speech against the Douglas faction,
there was but one thing for the Douglas organs
to do-they had to call him an abolitionist or a

insist upon it that he is an abolitionist. There
fore he is polished off.

MELANCHOLY AFFAIR DEATH FROM As
PHYxIA-A young man, about twenty-six
years of age, named George Windhaus, met
with a horrible death yesterday morning, at
No. 81 Clay-street in the following manner:
A new vault had been dug by the side of an
old one, and desiring to empty the latter he
undertook to do it by cutting passage from
one to the other. While engaged at this he
denly fell dead. Coroner Carey held an in
quest upon the body, which resulted in a
verdict Of death from asphyxia. The unfor-
tunate man, who would have been married
this morning had he lived, was removed to
his residence, on Green-street, from which
place he will be inferred to-day.
