become joint proprietor with Judge Mcneil Of
the Standard, but had NO connection with the

the stable Of the Virgins House, and after they
had taken away about two hundred loads, one Of

SCrcmE.-As we 60 to press, we learn that on
Wednesday the 18th instant, the body of John
Lchenheld, q German Of this place, was found
about mile east of the city. He was subject
to fits of mental arrangement, which increased
in intensity at stated intervals, and on Tuesday
evening he left with the ayowed purpose ssof
killing HIMSELF but he has SO often made such
threats, that no attention was paid to him.
When found he had pistol firmly clinched in
his hand, and his head was shattered by the
shot which had been fred into his mouth. The
circumstances evinccd the coolest determination
on his part to commit suicide. He was heard to
try the pistol which was . new one, by firing it
several times, to make sure Of the result-Oska-
loosa Times.
IMPORTANT DEclsloN.--By a recent decision of
Judge Love, at Dubuque, it was held that defend
ants sued as guarantors of certain coupons Of
the bonds Of the Central Improvement Company
were not liable, not having been notified Of the
nOn-payment at maturity. The defence that the
Company was insolvent was rebutted by proof
that only small per centage Of stock had been
raid in, and that there were solvent stockholders
Individually liable to the extent of their sub
scriptions.
The points are worth remembering, and we
would gently hint to the solvent stockholders of
various defunct companies ON our books, that
it might be as well to obey the scripture injunc
ton and settle up before the Judge, &c.
HoRss TsmvEs.-The horse thieves appear TO
be at work in this county. We learn that Mr..
G. B. White, living within four miles of West
Point, had valuable roam mare stolen ON Mon.
day night last. He was in this place yesterday,
in pursuit, but had got no trace of the thieves

ExECUroN-N. A. johnson was executed in
the jail yard at Delhi, Delaware county, in this
State, on the 18th inst, for the murder of H.

sons present.
LOOK Our roR THEM! We were shown on
Monday two dollar bill on the State Bank of
Iowa, altered to ten. We do not know wheth-
er these altered bills have been uttered to any
extent or not, but the difference between the
genuine and the spurious is 80 radical rs to pre-
vent anybody, who will take the least palms. from
being imposed upon. The twos represent q cat
tie scene, while on the tens Is engraved the map
OF Iowa; beside this, the vignettes are entirely
different. The bill we saw Was altered merely
by FASTING Hoover the 2 and changing the two
last letters in the written number to correspond
BY this It will be seen that when the whole filling
OF the two denominations are SO entirely differ
ent, no one need be deceived if the least care is
