Bloody Tragedy in Dickinson.

A most bloody tragedy was enacted in
Dickenson, Franklin county, New York,
on Friday last. The particulars as we
have received them are as follows:
"a Hunter by the name Of Henry
Meacham, has for the past FIVE years
threatened the life Of a man by the hams
Of Chauncy Wood, for being too intimate
with Meacham's wife. On Friday last
Meacham took his rifle in the morning,
and told his wife he was going to shoot
Wood, WHO had gone out that morning
on hunting 'xpedition. He took Woods
track, and did not return Till night
When he came in he told his wife that he
had killed Wood, ard was going TO shoot
her, and without further ceremony dis
charged both barrels into her body
lie then took out his hunting knife, and
reall y severed her head from her body.
His wfe's father and mother and four
children were in the room at the time
after he had done that bloody deed he
took a revolver from his pocket, as his
mother in law supposed. to shoot her, but
he told her she need not be afraid, he
wanted her TO take care of the children,
and placing the pistol to his head blew
his own brains out. A company was i'm
mediately formed to 60 out in search Of
Wood; the result Of this search we have
not learned but from the character Of Mea-
cham, it is more than probable they will
find him dead. Mcacham was thor
ough woodsman and hunter and one of
the very best shots in Northern New
York. When out OF the woods he used
liquor 10 excess, and he was probably
under the effects Of liquor when be COM
mitted this horrible deed. Meacham's
wife was a sister to Cook, who was in
dicted with BickforG, for the murder of
Secor.
Since the above was written we have
received news that Mr.. Wood arrived
home late Friday night, with one hand
completely shattered to piecies by Mea-
cham's bullet. Itappears that Meacham
followed Woods track until he overlook
him, when he shot and killed him as he
supposed, as Wood fell apparently dead.
when he fred, but from some cause, his
aim was less true than usual. Potsaans

Six Little Feet on the Fender.

In my heart there liyeth Il picture,
Of II kitchen rude and old,
Where the fire light TIPPED Ger the raTters,
And redeemed the roofs brown mould;
Gliding the steam from the kettle,
That hummcd on the foo:-worn hearth,
Throughout all the livelong evening,
Its measures of drowsy mr,h.
Because of three slight shadows
That frescoed that rude old room,
Bee use of the voices that echoed,
Up mid the rafters gloom,
Because of the feet on the fender
Six restless little feet,
The thoughts of that dear old kitchen,
Are to me so fresh and sweet.

That crowcd against the pane?
While bits of freight stealing,

In shreds af silver sheen.
Two of the feet grew weary,
One drear dismal day,
And we tied them with ssow white ribbons,

Rest my feet al alone on the hearthstone?

Or have they made steps that would dampen

fore the clock struck ten." Accepting the

And Wilkes thus replies:
II has been established by the Courts,
that the first stroke OF the clock is the re-
cord Of the hour. The mere labor OF

What a Lady Thinks OF Hairy Faces.
| A female writer in Xcnia, Ohio, is
making n crusade against hairy faced
men, Hear her,
What expression OF kindness and mild
humanity can be observed in face
covered with hair from the nose down?
Not any. As well might poor rat look
in the grizzly muzzIe of Scotch terrier

his crushing jaws, as to look for an ex.
preston Of human kindness and sympathy
in the face Of n hirsute man.
We can appreciate the value Of a
smile. 1t ljghte ms up the countenance
with adornipg sweetness, indicates kind
heart, and radiates gladness to the heart
Of others, encourages the desponding,
soolhs the afflicted, cheers the sorrowing,
disarms wrath, and kindles up genial
sympathy and reciprocal regard. But a
smile cannot drop out from he face of
man "bearded and moustached like he
pard." You suppose, from the agita-
ton Of tall grass that some animal was
crawling through it. So you may infer
from the whsk,rs Of hair, that smile
was burrowing along there somewhere
out Of sight. The smile Of such man
cannot be distinguished from the grin Of
a ribbed uose baboon which had burnt
its mouth with hot chestnut
The lips are capable Of indicating
variety of passions and emotions. They
can express kindness, good humor, sweet
ness, disposition, sorrow. frmnes and de.
csion Of character, or they manifest scorn,
contempt, disdain. loathing, anger, and
threaten like loaded revolvers. The

poleon's nature were in his mouth and
chin, which he could clothe with SO much
sweet, winning, mute, persuasive eloquence
as to render his look irresistible. But
when lip and chin are covered with hair
you might as well look for expression in
the hole of bank swallow in gully,
overhung with turf Of grass.
The passions and affections have their
poles in the face, irmness in the upper lip,

more soul thrilling and enrapturing the

How TO MAKE AN OBSTINATE Horse
DRAw.-A friend Of mine was an eve
witness OF an instance Of Yankee ingenu.
ify winter before last in Northern Yer
mont. AS tits fully an infallible method
to make such horse pull, and as it may
be Of use to many Of your subscribers in
similar case. give it to you as follows !:
As my friend was riding along one day
on horseback, he saw two men, each with
a heavy load of wood upon his sled
One OF the horses Of the team behind be-
coming very obstinate, variety Of ways
was tried to make him draw, but with
out avail. He would pull backwards
so as 10 prevent the other horses from
drawing. After coaxing, whipping, &C.,
in vain; the following method was very
successfully tried. A stout rope was
made fast 10 the obstinate animals tail,
and then passed under mis- belly in such a
way as to pass between both of the hind
and the fore legs, and the other end was
made fast TO the front team. When all
was ready, the horses of the front team
was started, and no horse, | will venture
to say ever pulled better. Let others try
the same method, and they will be assur-
ed, that il it does not work successfully,
it is because the animal does not care
enough from his tail, to follow it.-N 3.

that whether they do well or i'll, they are

The Fond Du Lac Commonwealth,
says:
"Six years ago a young man, just en-
terinr life, under the influence of rum
committed crime against society, was
led in this ci.v, convicted and sent to
Waupun. where he served out his term
behind the prison bars. Before is trial,
a fair girl had promised to link fortunes
with him, and cruel was the blow to her.
But she loved him. All through the six
long years, did she wait, and wait for the
days of his release. With true wo
mans heart, she believed him innocent
at least before God, and like the mag
net, she held on her steady way her heart
pointing to the future. Long were the
years to him. Slow passed the hours,
hours days. days weeks, weeks years, ,and
years were like ages, Every tolling Of
the prison bell struck deep to his heart,
and every sunset took another thread
from his long skein. Nor were the hours
less weary to her. Hope, that blessed
angel sat beside her by day, and reposed
on her pillow at night. Some thele were
who laughed at her holy love; who sneer'
ed so meanly at her love, a prisoner
miles away. But little mattered il to
her. Others m light sneer; she remained
true to her heart and to him. Others
might point to man in prison garb, toll.
ing away from morning till night, with
but one star to guild him on. She saw
but the honest soul that might be saved;
or-lost, and woman that she was, nerved
herself to bear their jibes and jeers,-
Blessed words came to him in his lonely
cell; words Of love, Of hope, Of kindness,
and stronger grew the heart Of him who
had truly his better angel watching over
his unbroken future. Each word from
her lightened the hours as they slowly
went by, and larger grew the day on
which I. berly was TO come. Men visited
him, and with careless word or speaking
eye, threw into bis cell maddening tho't
on which bis soul must feed, and trem-
bling sink to the darkest corner ofits
living temple. Then letter from her
would dash away the dark curtains. and
beckon him on 10 spot of sunshine, out
side, and beyond present reach. So
passed the years. Friends died, and he
wept over them. The sin was long since
more than atoned for, and at last the lit
lie spot Of sunshine crept to his cell. and
by the key hole Of the door, led
him forth into the bright rays of liberty.
He was conductor to the Office Of the
prison, by Mr.. McGraw, and citizens

him, and led into another room, where

Origin of Slavery.

The question of slavery being one of the
principal topics of discussion at this time,
we wish to ask the readers attention 10 the
facts illustrating its origin. During the
Middle Ages the Venetans were in the habit
of purchasing white men, most OF whom
were Christians, from the Government that
Scaracens in Spain and Sicily. The Anglo
Saxon nobility Of England sold their SER
wants, or those who were born on their man
ors, and were subject to the Lord of the
Manor, to foreigners for slaves. Negroes
were imported into Europe, and sold as
slaves by the Portuguese, in l442. Spain
soon thereafter gagged in the same traffic.
After the discovery of America, thousands
Of the Indians of Hispaniola, and the ada
cent Islands and continent of North Ameri
ca, were sent to Europe and sold as slaves.
Most of the Indians Of the West India Is
lands were doomed to slavery. The practice
of ensaving Indians continued for two cen
turies.
Negro slavery was first introduced into
America by the Spaniards, and confirmed
there by the English. 1t was sanctioned by
a royal edict of King Ferdinand in 1915
TIE slave traffic or involuntary servitude
system, as applied to negroes, between Afri-
ca and the Spanish possessions in America,
commenced in 1881. The first Englishman
who engaged in the negro slave trade was
Sir John Hawkins, in 1862. In 1851 it
was sanctioned and protected by Queen Eli
zabeth, who personally shared in its profits.
In 1923 the Dutch commenced selling slaves
in Virginia. In 1864 James Smith and
Thomas Keyser of Boston commenced the
traffic; and at a later period the principal
dealers in African slaves were New England
ers; Massachusetts for many years owned
both negro and Indian slaves. No citizens
of the Southern States engaged in the slave
traffic with Africa. From this brief state
ment we learn who first introduced slavery
into our country, and who are responsible
for it, Denunciations of the South for be-
inc shareholders come with an i'll grace from
the descendants Of slave holding and slave
introducing New Enganders.

The Bronze Door to the Capitol.

letter from Rome, Italy, says:
Rogers is engaged here upon a bronze
door for the Capitol at Washington, which
is to cost $25, ,OO0 The first scene repre-
sents Columbus before the Council of Sala-
manca unfolding his great theory. In the
second, he is just setting out to seek royal
aid. In the third he is before the King and
Queen, laboring to convince them. Isabella
leans forward and scenes interested, but
Ferdinand scarcely designs to heed the Wis
onary enthusiast. In the fourth he is con-
fidi Q his son to the care of the monks,
while his ships wait. In the fifth he is land
ING in great state upon St. Salvador The
sixth he is at Hispanoia where one Of the
sailors IS bringing an Indian girl to the
ship on his shoulder. The next is the grand
navigator's triumphal entry into Barcelona
on his return. In the succeeding one he is
about to he sent home from Cuba in chains
and disgrace.-The "last scene Of all" is
death. The priests have administered the
sacrament to him; one holds a crucitix for
him to kiss; friends and attendants are weep
ing around, and the spirit of the dying man
is about to start on that last great voyage
from which none return.-In inches sur
rounding these scenes are figures and busts
of various royal personages cotemporary
with Columbus, including Ferdinand and Is
abella, &c, &c.
