The NEGRO MuRDERER.-T negro who assisted
in the late horrible butchery of Mr. Woodruff, in
North Carolina, was arrested by party of negroes
yesterday morning and delivered to the whites in
the neighborhood; and has, this, paid the pen
atty for his crime, as they swore to burn him in
the event of his capture. This murder, which
created the most intense excitement and indigna-
ton at the time, was one of the most cold-blooded
and atrocious murders that stands on the calendar
the murderers confessing that they had had it in
contemplation over fourteen months, and even ad.
hitting that while they were hacking the old mans
body to pieces, they tainted him by such questions
as show do you like that?" ''don't it feel good ?"

SrEREoTYPING WOODEN FURNITURE.-It is said
that an artist in Paris has made discovery which
will effect complete revolution in the manutac-
ture of cabinet work. He has found a means of
rendering any description of wood so soft that it
will receive impression either of the most varied
sculpture or the most delicate chasing. The wood
is then hardened to the consistency of metal while
ready completed some splendid sculptured articles,
such as picture frames nkstands chests and liquor
stands. With the introduction of this new art, it
is expected that articles of household furniture will
be considerably reduced in price.
