She fingered from Sunday morning until Satur-

SARDINIA AND NAPLEs.-The Paris Presse con-
tains an article, signed by NJ. Boniface, In which
he says it does not belong to any foreign state,
more to Sardinia than to Austria, to interfere in
Naples and Sicily. Between the invasion of Carl
baldi and Sardinia there is a great difference.
Garibaldi came to raise and direct revolution in
the interior. With his bands he would only COM
municate to them proper spirit in their struggle
against an unpopular government. The Sandman
invasion constitutes direct Intervention Of onere
gulary constituted State in the affairs Of another
Independent State.
Strange to say, the Sandman invasion took place
without any declaration Of war, the representative
Of the King of Naples being still in Turin. By the
entrance Of Piedmontese troops into the Roman
States, Sardinia has violated principles of nen-
trality. Count Cavour gave it to be understood
that the entry Of Sandman troops into the States
of the Church was principally directed against the
influence Of Garibaldi. Now, on the contrary, il
has become evident that they go to aid him. Mr..
Bonface deplores the conduct of the Sardinians.
The Pdtrie says that Garibadi thanked the sea
men of the English ship Renown, who served the
Garibaldan guns on the LIST. The men were that
day on leave of absence. The Piedmontese troops
were expected before Capua on the 18th inst 1t
was anticipated that the Neapolitans would evaeu-

VINO Is PROPRIETOR OF THE New YoRK HERALD.
The New York correspondent Of the Charleston
Courier writes
A rather curious circumstance has occurred con-
corning the proprietor of celebrated newspaper.
Some time ago German who kept hotel In Will
liam street, was charged by the Herald with being
concerned in the robbery of one of his guests, at
the hotel of about $4,000 in money and jewelry.
Mr.. Bennett, when the case was called up. denied
all the allegations that of his being pro-
prietor of the Herald. This made it necessary for
the plaintiff to prove the fact. n
After great many endeavors by different wit
nesses the plaintiff only succeeded in showing that
Mr.. Bennett was .tprinter," and was publicly re-
ported to be the publisher of the Herald.
This was held insufficient evidence Of the fact,
whereupon the plaintiffs counsel asked leave TO
withdraw and have his case go over until next
term. Application was granted on payment OF
costs.
The question now arises, "Who is the proprietor

HORRIBLE SUICIDE. Que of the most horrible
cases of suicide ever heard Of in the calendar OF
selfdestruction was enacted ia East Flamboro, on
Saturday last when James Black, inn keeper, of
New Berwick, burned himself to death by sitting
on burning pile of sticks. The facts of the case
are as follows: Black had kept tavern for some
twenty years In Puslinch about year ago, in one
of his fits Of the g blues - he beat his wife till her
life was despaired OF, but, through great care she
recovered. He rented the tavern and removed to
Mount Forest, and started in business as butcher,
which did not prosper with him. A few months
ago he removed to Clinton. on the line of the Baf-
falo and Huron Railway, where his family are at
present. He came here ON Saturday week, and
at first appeared very unsettled and told some of
his acquaintance that this would be the last time
they would meet-they had better shake hands.
The week passed ON till Saturday morning, when
he was noticed going into field where some boys
were burning brush, and sat down on the burning
pile till all his clothes were burned of him. The
boys gave the alarm, when two of Mr.. Robert
Marshalls sons came and dragged him Of. but he
still persisted in going They tried to take him
off a second time, but he threatened them. when
one ran for assistance to Mr.. Martin, who, with
some others, got him of, but he still wanted to
remain on, saying that was his doom. He was
then entirely roasted-not particle Of clothing
remaining on him. He bore it all without any
signs of torture, until taken to Mr.. MarshaIl's,
where he was attended to by DIR. Client, but
medical aid was of no avail; he fingered on for
about eight hours, when death came to his relief.

A WALKING TRANcE.-The Toronto (Canada)
Leader says that man was found by policeman
the night previous sitting in sleeping posture in
one of the streets of that city:
The policeman shook him; the man fell over.
The policeman raised him up the man remained
standing. The policeman again shook him; the
man fell over. He was again placed on his legs

find out who the individual was, where he was
going to, and where he came from. The man
remained dumb and insensible, and seemingly
unconscious of what was going forward. His eyes
were open and bent the ground, his head inclined
forward. After contemplating the phenomenon
for some time, the policeman had him removed to
the station.house. There was not the slightest
appearance of the man being under the influence
Of liquor. Doctors were called in, but they could
make nothing of him. 5
Various methods were resorted to to arouse him,
but without success. Strong smelling-salts were

placed on the top of his head. He was found some
hours afterwards still sitting with his hands on the

MuRDER.-We stated last week that Frank
Spells was run over by the cars at Brownsboro',
and killed. 1t was SO thought at the time, and we
were so informed. But on examination, it was as
certained that Spells had been murdered for
money, and then placed on the track. 1t was OBJ
served that scufle had taken place the track,
a bloody club was found and the ground appeared
as if a body had been dragged to the track. 1t
was known that Spells had left home in Company
with David Hill and - ricketts,. and suspicion fell
upon them as having murdered him. Hill was
| pursued and arrested in Tennessee. He confessed
| that Spells had been murdered, but charged
Ricketts, with having committed it. In attempting
to arrest ricketts,, he fled, and was shot and badly
wounded, one bucksot taking effect in the back
and another in the head He is in custody near
Maysville. Hill is in Jail in this place.

urday last says - ---
Ii s estimated that the recent storm has injured
the cotton crop in our parish to the extent Of about
5000 bales. The prospect of the late growth has
been destroyed by the heavy frosts of last week.
We also learn from very reliable sources that very
little cotton is opening now in fact we have seen
fields which had been picked ten days previous,
and they looked as if the cotton had just been
gathered. We think that there are but very few
places where the crops will be equal to those of
last year.

It was muster-day, and two brothers named
Benjamin and Silas Edwards having an old arudge
against family by the name Of CoviDgton, sought
quarrel with one Of the latter one jackson Cow
ingten. Benjamin Edwards, after a few words
drew gun, shot him and then knocked him In the
head With the weapon. While this was going on
slas Edwards stabbed Covington's son, (vho ran
up to protect his fasher) killing him almost IN
stantly; the murderer afterwards puDging his
knife into the old mans body several times. This
brave deed accomplished, he came in contact with
Rufus Cevington, brother of Jackson, whom he
also stabbed and killed. The two brothers having
giutted their vengeance, en6eayored to escape,
but were pursued and lodged in jail. An unsne-
cessf1i attempt was made BY the excited popuiace
TO take them from the officers and hang them,
without trial. On the following Tuesday the two
Edwards, after undergoing an examination were
remanded, and guard Of twenty-five men started
with them to tie jail, but when near the prison,
two brothers of the murdered men, armed with
guns commanded the guard to step aside which
they did, when the younger Edwards was shot ID

and arm, but neither MORALLY.

A NEW INTERNAL MAcHINE.--A Liue Adder Sent
in a Letter to a Fditliless HTe.-The inmates of
the Post-ofice were thrown into state Of conster
nation yesterday afternoon by series Of the most
vigorous and agonizing screams proceeding from
enc of the Railways Of the building.
Upon investigation, the source Of the cutlery was
found to be colored woman, who was wringing
upon insanity. The bystanders questioned her as
to her troubles to which she made no response,
but pointed TO a lively little green adder, which
was rapidly wriggling over the floor toward open
air. general stampede ensued, but after long
effort the ''yarmint'' was properly secured and
taken to the City Marshai's office.
1t appears that the colored lady, Mrs. Pierce,
has a husband down in Georgia. Their marital
life has not been Of the most pleasant or poetic,
and several letters of domestic objurgations have
passed between them. Yesterday, Mrs. Pierce
went to the Postoflice and took out little paste
board box containing letter. As she was remoy-
ing it she was slightly surprised at hearing hiss in
the box, and almost instantly the green head, gilt
tering eyes and harbed tongue of the aforesaid adj
der shot up before her bewildered vision She
dropped the box like hot coal, and hence the
screams. GChicago Journal, I'D inst.

ENPREsrDEST LIScoLx AND THE MUSE
rx.-Thc Museum of Fine Arts is still
dFa~ing we'll at Washington Hall. Among
hsspecimens exhibited by their phantas-
nngorial process, is a picture of Lincoln,
'ad another OF Douglas. Both of these
AT generally received with mingled Kisses
a'3applause. Lincoln looks more like a
bigger Indian than white President, the
Tly the museum presents him. As the
Nom is darkened and the picture flashes
out suddenly upon the canvass, the first
impulse of the more timid is to go out of
the window or crawl under chair. 1t
seems to us that it has been systematically
understood between engravers, photo
gFapCrs and portrait painters throughout
The Union, since the opening of the late
'anpaign, that Lincoln was to be made the
nsIIsst creature alive, with the view of
soaring considerable number of his sup
P0Eters to death.
