The SPEED OF TORNADO. -Snesk
ing Of the fearful tornado, which swept
through the valley Of the Ohio last
Monday the Cincinnati Enquirer say. /:
The velocity with which this tornado
travelled may be estimated from the fact
that It was only about two hours in
gong from Louisville to Portsmouth. a
distance BY an air line of 100 miles
When 1t IL borne in mind that this tor.
nado pursued the sinuosities of the riy.

have been immensely beyond that d

Hon. VIM. NJ. STONE, Judge Of the
Sixth Judicial District Of the State oil
Iowa, has decided that the appraisement
law passed by the late Legislature is
unconstitutional and void as to past con-

progress in that city before Hon. John f.

Attacked by Snakes.

The Marietta (O.) knteligencer says
that . man named Landlord, 10 that
county, while narrowing, few days ago,
stopped his team under shade tree to
repair something which was out Of Or
der. While at work he felt strange
sensation come over him, like delirum,
and soon something struck him on the
back Of the neck, which aroused him.
On looking mp, he saw three monster
black snakes in the tree, one of which
commenced coiling itself around him,
and another kept striking to get it's head
into his mouth.
Selling an axe, he struck one ofthem
severing its head, and as another came
near his mouth he crushed its neck in
his teeth. The other, after hard fight
ing, he put to flight. Keeling from the
spot, almost exhausted, he went towards
home, and was soon found BY neighbor;
who, after hearing his story, went to the
tree, and found the two dead snakes
one of which measured nine feet, and
the other over ten,

For the pastfew months our exchanges
have come to us filed with accounts OF
horrible murders, attrOcious assaults,
rapes and robberics. We notice thai
very few of these unlawful! acts have
been committed by men while under the
influence of liquor they have been
committed by persons actuated by de-.
sire for gain, or out Of pure malice or
revenge. These crimes are not confined
TO any particular locality or place. We
hear of them in the sober and quiet viii
lagos OF New England, in the busy cities
Of the North and the sunny South !;
everywhere the mania for destruction
appears to rage with fearful icrceness.
A few instances:
The New Orleans papers of last week
Thursday, contain accounts Of four bru-
tai murders committed in cold bloc d.
The victims, with one exception, were
innocent, unoffeuding mcn-murdered
for revenge. The St. Louis Republican
of the 3Oth ult, gives accounts Of two
bloody homicides both committed out
Of pure malice, and upon harmless
men. One Of the murderers, a few
hours before he committed the crime,
said in saloon, that he mustkill somebody
that night. The william was perfectly
sober. The other murder was commit
ted by three rowdics, who thought that
it would be rare fun to beat fellow
creature to jelly, and then leave him to
die. The New York papers come to us
every day teaming with accounts Of
crimes committed in the metropolis.
They embrace tho entire catalo que, from
petty larceny up to murder.
But it is not in the large cities alone
that crime runs rite. All over tho coun.
try we hear of dreadful deeds, perpetrat-
cd by brutcs and fend 10 the human
shape. The laws exercise no restraint
upon the Williams, for they are SO loosely
framed and so seldom carried into effect.
that the scamps think all criminal ell
actments can be disregardcd with impu-
nifty. We hope to hear of some fearful
examples being made of these blood
thirsty villains who so cody precipitatc
human beings into eternity.

John Wentworth on Llncoln.

Mr.. Lincoln was, In early time, . member Of
the IlIinois House Of Representatives lie wa,
also member Of the Thir,ieth Congress of the
United States. being tn las. two wears of Mr.
Folks Administrat ton. Beyond this Mr.. Lin.
coin has no official record. lie has devoted
the most OF his time to his profession, by which
be has been enabled to but little more than
support himself from one year to another.
The above extract, says the Ohio
statesman, we copy from long article
in the Chicago Democrat, edited by
Long John Wentworth, on tn doings of
the Chicago Convention and the nomi-
nees of his party. "Old Abe" who has
just been discovered to be a great
statesman, was in early times member
Of the Illinois Legislature, and served
two years in Congress. Beyond this
Mr.. Lincoln has no official record" the
most OF his time having been employed
in the profession of the law, at which
che has been enabled to but little more
than support himself from one year to
another" The fact that his official rec
ord is SO meagre and his professional
ability SO poor, renders it certain if he
be such an adept in splitting rails" as
is now claimed, that his early vocation
was the appropriate one for him. provi.
ded he had loved honest toll. But he
did not like that, and abandoned it for a
profession for which he was not compe-
tent.
The Cleveland Haindeuler repeats its
threat to bolt if the Baltimore Conven-
ton refuses to do precisely what that pa
per dictates. The following is from that
paper:
It Will be Douglas or nobody. or what the
rank and lille will consider "nobody :" end il

A FEARFUL RIDE.-A conductor on
