John Marshall shot John Smith at IIaruand, last
SUNDAY, heavy charge Of buclsshoi taking effect in
his Thighs and abdomen. Marshall had previously
threatened to Kill Smith. After the shooting was
done, he gave himself up to the authorities, claim

The particulars Of the shooting case at Hartland

Sunday. Smith had threatened Marshall's life an
in che morning trhibited knife and revolver, say
ing there would be murder committed that lay
Afraid Of bis life, Marshall armed himself with a
shot gun heavily loaded with buckshot, and took
refuge in a farm house and notified Smith that he
would be shot If he approached. In the afternoon
the latter, with companion named Kibbc, started
for the house, and when within few yards of the
door, he was shot by Marshall, the charge taking
effect in the abdomen and thighs. Smiths compan-

INrrAoHMrNr.-We copy from tho N. " Evon-
ing Post in article stating a ground for impeach-
mcnt Of the President that has not yet been well
considered. In the carly days Of the government
most statesmen and in later days many, doubted the
right Of the Executive to make appointments on any
other grounds than fitness by character talents and
experience, for the place. "ls he honest, Is be ca
pabe, is he faithful to the Constitution" was the
formula enunciated by Jefferson though he was
himself among the first to allow political opinions
to rule in the dspensation Of Executive patronage;
and since his day, with exceptions, other Pres
idents have fllowed his example rather than his
precept. In ordinary times, when men Of every
party faithful in executing the laws, il matters
comparatively little whether men Of one party or
another are in public seryicei bat now, when dis
loyalty yet abounds almost to the point of forcible
resistance to the laws if the President selects such
men, or any men, for The purpose Of ttoarfNg the
acts of Congress, it is not only abuse Of the con-
stutonal power Of the Executive, but resistance 10
the iaei and, such, a good ground for impeach-
ment This is the view of the Post.

A SNAKE IN A W0MAN's STOMACH.

The wife of Mr.. Parker, who re-
Gently purchased an interest in the
Anamosa stone quarry, has been
made cognizant of the terrible truth
that she has within her stomach a
living snake or lizard. For the past
five hears she has suffered almost
everything possible for human be-
ing, aud was supposed to be gradu-
ally dying with consumption. Sou.e
two weeks since German ply sician
from Lisbon. Linn county, being in
town, was requested to make an ex-
animation into ner case to see if any
remedy couli be devised to relieve
her intense suferings.
The physician visited her aud be-
came at once satisfied that there was
Il living animal within her stomach.
On last Thursday the starvation pro-
cess was begun and continued for
FIVE days, little or no nourishment be-
ing taken. During this time the ami
NAL repeatedly moved upward and
into the throat producing terrible and
almost fatal strangulation, and max
ing it necessary to administer salt to
drive it downward At such times
the lower part Of the throat would
be pressed outward in a most per
ceptibIe and revolving manner.
On Monday last the attempt was
made to dislodge the loathsome crea-
ture by placing pan of heated milk
near the patients mouth and permit
ing her to inhale the steam. A poul-
tice of onions and garlic was applied
to the stomach but, through mis-
understanding, the onions were cook
ed and their strength thereby mostly
destroyed. The experiment, however,
was tried, but the animal moved up
only short distance, a green slime
being emitted from the mouth.
The patient is greatly Frustrated
by abstinence aud terrible suffering,
bat another effort will soon be made
to relieve her, although it seems al
most certain that the animal, what
ever it is, has grown so large as to
make its egress through the throat
impossible We understand that the
patient believed her tormentor to be
a snake
The case is attracting great inter-
est, aud any new developments will
be carefully noted for the benefit of
our readers.-Anomosa (Io,ca) En-.

WAsHINGToN's BGRrHDAY IN THE SoUrH.
The Mobile Times improved the oc.

indulge in the following amusing
rhetorical flight
He was born, he lived, he died a

his mind more free, his soul more as

other great man. We now witness

tions Of the earth, lost III oblivion

the direct inheritors of the blessings

vilest of:springs of abolitionism. To

THE GENERAL BANKRUPT Law.

One of the acts of Congress which
closed ON the 4th of March, was the
passage of general bankrupt law.
This measure has been agitated for
several years past, bat has always
failed to secure sufficient support un-
til this winter 1t became law dur
ing the closing hours of Congress.
The new law is intended for the re-
lief of honest debtors. Under it's
provisions, any person whose debts
exceed the sum of three hundred
dollars, may become a Voluntarily
bankrupt, and be relieved from the
claims of creditors fy the delivery
for distribution of al his assets.
The proceedings for the discharge
of bankrupts by this law are placed
under the supervision of the United
States Circuit Courts, with a subor-
dinate supervisory officer to be ap-
pointed in each Congressional DIS
trct to be appointed by the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Conrt to be
called Register. To the Register
the party desiring to avail himself
of the bankrupt law makes applica-
ton, and by the creditors an assignee
is appointed into whose hands the
bankrupt turns all his property for
distribution.
The bankrupt can reserve to him
self household and kitchen furniture
and such other articles as he may
choose, not exceeding in value five
hundred dollars, also the wearing
apparel Of himself and family equip.
ments if he had any, and such other
property as may be exempted lr0m
attachment and seizure under the
laws OF his State
Distribution of the assets Of the
| bankrupt is made in the following
order all costs of the proceedings
in bankruptcy all debts due the
United States all debts due the
State wages due to any employee
| of the bankrupt for period not ex-
ceeding six months Immediately pre-
ceding the commencement OF pr0ceeG-
iDgs in bankruptcy, ,and to an amount
not exceeding $4,000 The balance
to other creditors according to the
| amount Of their claims, and without
preference on account of date OF any
other cause
The bankrupt then receives from
the Court a certificate of discharge
and can commence the world anew
in business relations without fear Of
old and unsatistied Judgments No
bankrupt can avail himself a second
time of the provisions Of the law, un-
less his assets will reach seventy per
cent of his debts. All debtors whose
claims have been credited by failure
10 fiduciary capacity are precluded
! from relief under this act
The law is onl v intended for the re-
lief of honest debtors. Hence, in or
der TO avail himself of it's benefits,
the party must make fair, full and
bona tide delivery to the assignee for
the benefit of his creditors, of all his
efforts, otherwise he is debarred from
the benefit of the law, and made Ii,
able to heavy penalties beside All
fraudulent proceedings designed to
defraud creditor at the expense of
any other, will not entitle debtors to
the relief extended by the law, but
ate positively forbidden
The law is of course very lengthy,
and embraces many details, but the
above are it's leading provisions. 1t
will be well for the public to become
familiar with and remember them, for
they closely concern every business
man.

The Springfield Republican, Mass, J
few days since published adetailed
account of six cases of trichin@ spi-
rails which occurred in that city.
The same paper says the disease is
not confined to the Ransley Hall
family. 4 son of the late Joseph
Solace is afflicted with it, as is also a
Mr.. Norton, who lives in the same
vicinity Both of these persons
have eaten ham obtained at the store
where the Halls purchased theirs.
All of this family are now comfort
able, except Mrs. Hall, whose condi-
ton is still extremely critical. As
showing how enormous is the num-
Der of the trichine, it is estimated
that those on the small piece of mus
Gle taken from the limb of the de-
ceased girl were distributed at the
rate of $4,000 per square inch. The
number in the entire body must con-
sequently be many millions. A piece
of the muscle has been sent to Prof.

claimants reside and pensions are
also paid at agencies within the sew
eral States, and not here in general.
To transmit such evidence and ap
plication through an agency bere
does not facilitate but rather delays
action thereon, and it may Justly be
regarded as au unnecessary circum-
locution. The fact was otherwise
when large numbers of soldiers were
here or passing through the city ON
ther way home, and liable to fall in
to the hands of unworthy solicitors
of claims"
