compsued by two inhabitants of West
Point. Mo-. Mr.. Bell reached The house
Of Mr.. Taylor, abou, four miles from
Ossawatomie, where they put up for the
night Soon after the house was surround
ed by hand of forty men. who obliged
Bell and bis friends to surrender; they
were then Invested of arms, overcosis.
hats. boots, &c., which were divided
among the crowd. and the negro was
brought forward to confront them with
mpckerv and laughter. Their horses were
then taken FROM The stable. and after
compelling them 10 give The negro fifty

A Remarkable Case.

One Of the most remarkable cases @
family affection of which we have eve
known or heard was brought 10 our notice
on Saturday last. Mr.. James Blair. E;
worthy resident OF the Clearspring Dis
trci of This County, is The father OF fam
lily Of nine children five of whom art
mules-deas and dumb, Of these mute:
four are giIls and one boy. The ninth
child is an infant, and the father has Sc
r,ous apprehension that it is also mute
The Oldest daughter has been educated al
the Pennsylvania Institute for the des
and dumb, and is handsome and spright
Iy person. In this case there is no blood
relationship between the parents, The
mother having been born in ireland. and
al emlgrant 10 this country al very ear
ly age, and The father Is native Of the
neighborhood in which he now lives.
Mr.. Blair will urge upon our Delegates
elect an increase Of the usual spprcpria
ton for the education Of the INDECENT deal
aud dumb, so as to enable him 10 educate
al least a portion Of his afflicted children al
The expense of the Stale. He has receiv.
ed very kind and sympalhlzng letter
from Gov. Hicks, 10 whom he has com
munica,ed his family affection, and asked
his friendly interference. The Governor
states tina, the appropriations which have
been made are entirely inadequate to graf
ifs the applications for educational relief
which are made. During The years 1856
-'57 there were but six warrants issued
TO beneficiaries 10 the Deaf ami Dumb In
sli1te, and for the same years there was
appropriated altogether the sum of 81
760,s6. Up TO the close Of the year 1857
there were 10 all fifteen deaf and dumb
persons being educated al Philadelphia, a,
the expense of The State. The case oil
Mr.. Blair is perhaps unpsrsll' led in the
history of the American people. and Ia
king into consideration his poverty, and
his good citizenship, he must enlist tie
sympathy of The Legislature in behalf OF
himself and his afflicted family.-DagerS-

to the Savior Of mankind. We happen 10
know however ibatito the multitude OF
crimes Of which he twas guilty. he added
that of the basest hypocrisy, and that un-
der the cloak Of pety he was the most
prolsne OF human tlevils. A gentleman
who was candid3te for office in the
county of Washington, Nd, where John
Brown resided viii LIST he was planning
his murderous midnight incursion into
Virginia, happened, in canvassing the
county, 10 call al Browns house one
morning before breakfast. Brown pc.
lilely requested HIN 10 dismoun, from his
house aud take breakfast, an1 the gentle
man did so. He had hardly entered the
house before Brown took down his bible,
remarking that il Vas always his custom
to have family de{o'ion before breakfast.
tie then read clhpler OF the bible and
kneli down and offered mp most fervent
PRAYER. The gentleman was struck with
his devouiness and came 10 The conclusion
that he was one of the most pious chris
iisn men he had eyer met with, and lett
with tina, impression. A few dsys after
Yards. he Happened along by Brown
house again, aud yas startled at volley
of most horrid osths. proceeding from one
of two men standing in Browns yards.
Judge of his surprise when he rode up TO
discover that the man who uttered them
was no other than the pious John Brown,
of few mornings before. Such then
was this old mscreani's piely.-Charies-
