ANOTHER MURDER-A HAcKaAN SHOT
AND INSTANTLY KLLED.-lt is our pain
full duty TO chronicle another deed Of
blood to add to the many that have dar-
kened the fair name Of our city during
the past year. About one o'clock this
morning an alteration took place in
front of the Commercial Hotel, between
Thos. r. Herman, the well known steam-
boat agent and Mike Dollard, hack
man, in regard to the payment of the
fare demanded by the latter. Harsh
language was used by both parties, when
Herman drew pistol and shot >Dollard,
the ball entering his left breast and
piercing the heart, death being instanta-
neous. Officer Keeie was on the oppo-
site side of the street at the time and ar
rested Herman with the pistol in his
hand. 1t ia stated that both parties were
under the influence OF liquor at the
time. Dollard was of a troublesome
disposition, aud always used very
abusive language during an alteration
with any one. He was about twenty six
years old and unmarried. Herman is
about the same age, and is highly es-
teemed for his good qualities. lie is
well known to river men, being engaged
in business at the levee for many years.
About two o'clock Esquire Creighton
held an inquest on the body of the de-
ceased, the jury returning verdict that
he came to his death from pistol shot
inflicted by Herman. This is another
sad commentary on the Oft condemned
practice Of carrying deadly weapons

PmIPits and Ministers.

Many of the religious papers are max
ing urgent appeals to the churches to seek
out and give assistance to young men who
are desirous to study for the ministry
since the demand for ministers far exceeds
the supply. Two other things are needed
quite as much.
1st A reduction in the number Of pull
pits. Thousands of villages where there
are not enough. people for a full congrega-
ton, fritter away theiroreEgious influence

ed. Larger salaries TO ministers when
they are educated. d It's the shame of the
churches that the most of their ministers
are piuching along on SIX or eight hundred
dollars year, when men OF their average
ability and education can earn twice as
much in any other vocation. The preach
ing will be better, there viii be more of it,
and the church will be in better state to
be proftted by it, when they come to do
the fair and honest thing in their ministers

The Religion Of the BODY.

Many christians seek to glorfy God in
their spirits, but are prevented from doing
so simply because they have neglected the
other part of their duty; they have not
restrained bodily appetites, or taken the
right kindof exercise and food; they have
interfered with the benefcent intentions of
the Creator of the human frame. 1t is
well when such sufferers, from their own
neglect of transgression, bear their self-in-
fiicted woes with patience and serenity in
stead of murmuring; but these cases are
rare. The diseased body, the shattered
nerves, the debilitated frame, exert sad
effect upon the whole moral and intellect
ual system; and patience, fortitude, and
sweetness are unusual companions Of dis
ease, so that the coarse saying of Dr.
johnson is proved true in the cases of
those who seemed. likely to prove it: '.Ev-
cry nan becomes rascal as soon as he is
sick" In order to glorify God in our
spirits, we must endeayor to glorify him in
our bodies, by obeying the laws of health,
by avoiding causes of disease and abstain
ing from heshy lusts and luxurious indul-
gences, as well as from undue positions
and expOsure.--N i. Observer.

Marr1ing I'm BAVARIA.

The people of Bavaria are not allowed
to marry until they have what is termed
an 'assured means of subsistence" The
law, however, does not work, as will be
seen by the following remarks from cor
respondent: ''i
II heard of case Of two poor people
havirg to wait fifteen years for permission
to marry, and spending two hundred for
ins on applications One ofthe writers on
the subject gives the following instance:
An operative earning twelve shiIIings
week was engaged to 5 girl earning sew
en-, and the owner of house valued at
one hundred and twenty pounds sterling,
and COW. They applied for permission
to marry, and were refused-'means of
subsistence not assured Time went on;
they had two children, and still their ap-
plication was refused on the same ground.
The owner of the manufactory took up
their cause and plead it himself with the
official, saying that bis refusal was not
what was intended by the Government.
The official replied eartly, @What does
that matter to US; the Government may
have its own ideas on the subject, but we
have ours, and ! in particular am of opin-
ion that such marriages are neither right
nor useful The author from whom
quote this adds; While am writing, my
servant girl, aged fifteen years, comes in
dressed for feast to day, and says that
her father and mother are to be married
to-day, and she must henceforth be called
by her fathers name. Twelve times Ler
fathers application for license was rejected,
and each time he had 10 pay fees and ex-
penses, lawyers bills, &C.

Singular Death and ResuEree-

The following remarkable ease is from
the Albany Rniekerbocker Of Wednesday ::
Night before last child Of VIM. Wells,
residing in the town Of bethlehem, q
short distance from the city, died rather
suddenly, as, they supposed, from an at
tack, Of diarrhoa To all appearances the
child was dead, and It was accordingly pre-
pared for the grave and actually laid in
the coffin. The coffin containing the body
was in the front room; after having been
thus arranged the family retired. The fu-
neral was to take place yesterday. Du-
ring the night, however, Mr.. Wells heard
a noise in the front room, and supposed It
was the cat or dog that had got in there.
He went in to drive it out. Imagine his
surprise to find the body of the child turn
ed in the coffin. He raised il up and the
little thing opened its eyes, looked up, and
commenced crying. Life, animated life,
was there. The fathers heart leaped for
joy. The mother again clasped her child
TO her bosom. The physician was sent
for, and the whole neighborhood were soon
aroused. Nour;shments were administer
cd, and the child yesterday was dong well.

Political.

In one of the Congressional Districts in
Iowa, the cops. sent out circular on the
eve of the election, announcing the death
of the Union candidate, and attaching the
name of the Secretary Of the Union Com
mittee to it. The dastardly trick lost the
candidate some votes, but not enough to
defeat him.
The official vote ca the question of re-
moyal Of the seat of Justice of Wood
county from Perrysburg to Bowling Green
is-for Removal, 2,454; Against Removal,
2,176; giving for removal majority of
27s. The Perrysburg Journal says an in
junction has been allowed by the Probate
Court, and the constitutionality of the en-
abling act will be fully tested.
A telegram from Omaha, Nebraska, in
forms us that the official returns, as almost
completed, indicate Radical majority of
between SIN aud seven hundred. The Leg
islature is two-thirds Republican. This
result was much more than could have
been expected, and adds fifth to the vic
