THE SOUTHERN .CIRCUS TRAGEDY.
The Murder Of Monaser whitby of Lancaster

The Murder Of 1onase whitby of Lancaster.
The Lancaster Intelligencer of last evening
says
A despatch was received by the family of
Alderman Van Camp this afternoon, dated
Nicksburg, announcing that Henry Whitby, the
son-in-aw of Van Camp, had died in Vicksburg
Yesterday, and that his remains would be shipped
from that city to-day for Lancaster. The family
have also received a letter from Mrs Whitby,
giving the circumstan of his death, from
which it appears that Cooper, Hemmings IL
Whitby's circus was giving an exhibition at
Raysyille Louisiana, on Nov. q During the
performance n ruffian, whose name we did not
learn, insisted on entering the circus without
but he finally got past, when Mr.. Whitby went
after him for the purpose of putting him out.
The ruffian then knocked Whitby down, and
drawing revolver shot him in the head.
Whitby sprang to his feet and staggered toward
the dressing ROOM five more shots being fired
after him. one of which took effect in his
breast. The greatest excitement resulted, and
the attaches of the circus came to the
rescue, some of them armed with
reyolvers. The assailant of Whitby
and three other roughs were shot dead in the
melee that ensued. The peaceably disposed
portion of the audience ran in terror to a neigh
present, sent for physician, who pronounced
the woundsgnortal. Assisted by one of the
attaches of the circus she carried her wounded
husband to hotel, whence he was conveyed to
Vicksburg the following day. He fingered until
yesterday, when he died.
Deceased was about fifty years of age, and was
well known not only in this city, but all over
the country, he having been connected with the
circus business ever since his boyhood.

Statue OF Uolumbus-Ftaht Between the Ma
lives and EnEiIsh Hren-of-Warsmeu.
PANAMA, Nov. 2. Sir Charles Bright, chief of
the West India Cable-laying expedition arrived
here on Wednesday, the 10th ult., and was re-
ceived at the railroad depot by the President
and staff, and by special Reception Committee
composed of the leading residents in the city.
A public dinner in his honor followed the same
evening.
The following day the President and large
party followed with the object of inaugurating
the ceremonies. The weather, however, proved
unpropitious, the sea being too rough and the
rain pouring a second deluge. The President,
however, took advantage of the presence of his
distinguished guest to make 1t the occasion of
erecting and uDcovering the statue OF Chris
topher Columbus recently presented to the
United States of Columbia by the ex-Empress
Eugenie.
The ceremony Of uncovering the statue was
performed by Sir Charles Bright. The state of
the weather did not admit of laying the shore
end of the cable until Monday, the Gath instant,
and the Dacia sailed for Jamaica at 3'15 p. NJ
of that day, paying out the cable at the rate
about three miles an hour. Sir Charles, upon
his departure, expressed his opinion that If al
went well the cable would reach Jamaica on
the 3lst instant. No news however, has ye
bean received of the Dacia's arrival, and this
coupled with the fact that while three days ou
she was compelled to lay toon account of bad
weather, since which no information can be
procured from the electricians at Aspinwall has
led to'the inference that disaster has happened
A serious affray took place at Taboga, a small
island in this bay, on the 23d inst. The British
iron. clad Jealous which was there for the pur-
pose in water, sent $50 of her men on shore on
leave. The result was execrable whisky and o
general row between the tars and the natives.
Many Of the sailors, who were unarmed, re-
ceiyed severe wounds and the Alcade, or
Mayor, received such injuries from flying mis-
siles that he died the same night The Govern
ment here has demanded from the British Ad-
miral compensation for damages and pension
to one of the widows of the deceased Alcalde.

ny CALEB DUNN.

Only poor old horse that's all!
Only worn out faithful creature
Blind, and changed in every feature
Who always an wered his masters call,
And toiled for him in the days gone by
The same hard-beart0d master who,
Finding no more for his servant to do,
Now turns him out to die
Many heavy load has been drawn
By this poor old horse; but never again
Will he obey the commahd Of whip and rein,
For here on this frozen roadside lawn,
Some one will find, some early dawn,
Lying alone, all stiff and cold,
Beneath the pitiless wintry sky,
This poor dilapidated, old
Deserted horse, turned out to die.
know he thinks of his cruel fate,
Of the bitter lot which has come at last;
know he remembers that steady gait
Which was his, though twas neither slow nor
fast,
But he is sensible still, amid all his pain
More sensible far than the brute who spurn-
ed him.
And with a fendish crelty turned him
Away from the barn and the oaten grain
Turned him away with never sigh
Out on this bleak roadside to die.
Yet, after ALL in the sight Of Heaven
would rather be this poor old creature,
Blind, and changed in every feature,
Than his brutal master, to whom was given
The sight to see, but whose eyes are blind,
Whose heart is as hard as n stone, and whose
mind
Is dead to all that is good and kinl
Yes. would rather be this old horse spurned,
Dying here under wintry sky
Than the form with soul who crully turned
him cut to die.

quietly they went to the church-yard and
laid the little box away and returned

THE COMING JOKER.

A Successor to George ID. Prentice CooI Even
for the Season.
A man has applied for the vacancy on the
Louisville Journal caused by the death of Mr..
Prentice. The Journal publishes his letter, but
gives no name. 1t is a remarkable specimen of
cool assumption The writer says:-"I know
very well that his place is not to be filed, yet
write you to ask the privilege of attempting to
continue q part of his work-I allude to the
spice, humor, geniality, and wit which he gave
to the columns of the Journal" Then, after
reciting his claims, and showing what he has
done, the writer incloses several pages of speci-
mems of his work, remarking that they are in
'litte different vein" from that of Mr.. Prentice.
He also says he does not want steady employ
ment in the office, "for the drudgery of a daily
office kills every inspiration, and stops every
thought" What his 'inspiration" is may be
seen by the following extracts from his speci-
mens:-

birs the Sabbuth day, to kepe it wholly.
