The way Vallandigham shot Himself

No one unacquainted with Mr.. VAL
landigham can fully appreciate bis
wonderful energy of character. 1t has
carried him through almost unparallel-
cd difficulties, and giving him a name
and place in history, which every civ
ilized tongue repeated for several event
full years, and never, probably, did it
shine out with such promise as in this
last effort Of his legal career.
Upon the defence of Tom. McGeehan
he concentrated every faculty Of mind,
throwing his entire being into it with
an enthusiasm and force which those
associated with him in the casc-and
they have best right to know-say
eclipscd every former effort, and gave
promise of success in case already
tried, judged and condemned at the in
exorablc bar of public opinion. Day
and night he devoted himself to it with
unrcmittinS pains. Everything calcu-
lated to contribute in the least to
strengthen the defense Mr.. Eallandig-
ham eagerly performed, and it was in
direct pursuance Of this that he lost
his life.
II will demonstrate to you in mo-
mcnt," said he to Mr.. McBurncy and
Mr.. Symnncs, '.thc absurdity Of Follct's
argument that Tom Myers did not shoot
himself" With that he seized one OF
the pistols lying on the table, and put
ting it in his ri Sht pantaloons pocket
continued "Now here is the way
Tom Myers had his pistol in his pock.
ct'-
Mr.. Symms here Interrupted him.
and excusiny himself, lett the room tt
see Judgc Pope on business, who at
that moment passed Room Is on his
way to his own room on the floor above
and retired.
Mr.. Vallandiyham had then only
one auditor and spcctator-Mr Nc.
Burney.
"You see, Mcl}urncy. how I hold
this pistol?"
ayes"
every well, now; Myers drew his
pistol out this way, and as the muzzle
came up to hercabout he pulled the
trigger"
Mr.. Vallandisham held the muzzle
of his pistol against the right side Of
abdomen. at point almost exactly cor
responding with that where Myers re-
ccivcd the bullet, and to the infinite
astonlshmcnt of Mr., McBurney anG
himself, an explosion took place, anc
the rash cxperimcntcr exclaimed
"Oh ! murder! :! | am shot ~
The terrible situation was realized
in moment by both. Mr.. VaIlandig
ham tore open his garments, and Mr.
McBurney summoned assistance.
"What a foolish thing to do," re-
marked the wounded man, as he point
ed to q little red spot on his spotless
skin. Il. took hold Of the wrong pisto
and that's the result - Cincinnati

For the gratuitous, wholesale perpc-
tration and circulation Of double dis
titled falshood commend US to that
hybrid sheet the Austin Register.
The most recent exhibition ofthe real
character of that paper took place last
week, in its expected attempt to palliatc
the woes Of Sylvester Smith by telling
one of its old fashioned square lies
with regard to the proceedings Of the
county commissioners. 1t was gcner-
ally expected, and in fact known that
the Register would appear as the
apologist for the dcfalcations Of the late
treasurer. It has habitually upheld
every crime that class of men
have committed. 1t must do
this or die. 1t cannot live BY
the practice of honesty, nor the up
holding of public virtue.
The statement made was in sub
stance this: That the commits
sioners refused to allow ". II.
Mcrrick and Solomon Snow, to in
vcstigatc the public records for Mr..
Smith, by vote of three to two, Beach
and Mckee voting for, and Tanner,
Fclch and Howe against. The simple
truth is that a resolution was offered
the commissioners, drawn by Mr..
Smiths attorney and presented by
him, authorizing the above named men
to examine the records for Smith. The
commissioners took the ground that tho
statutes of the State wero sufficiently
explicit on this point, giving all citi-
zcns the right to examine public records
and that they had not the power to
enlarge or limit this authority. There
foro Mr.. Mckee moved to lay the
resolution on the table, and the vote
was carried.

Burglars.

BurglHrS.
Last Friday night the houses OF
several of our citizens were entered by
burglars and quite an amount Of prop
crty was stolen. William Richards
lost pocket book containing some
thing over a hundred dollars in money
a thousand mile Il. r. ticket several
school orders and other valuable papers.
The thief entered the back part Of the
house: went through several rooms to
the bed room where Mr.. Richards
was sleeping and took the wallet from
his pocket. Mr.. William Hunt who
resides in the same ncighborhood lost
over a hundred dollars in money, taken
in the same way. Mr.. Clemmer's house
was also entered but nothing Of much
value was taken. From tracks found
by Mr.. Richards in the sand near his
house the next morning, it appeared
that the burglars were bare
footcl, and were undoubtedly
skilled in their work. Up to this time
no trace of them has been found. 1t
becomes our citizens to guard theil
property we'll, as it is pretty certain
from appearances that there is quite a
number of persons stopping here who
arc strangers and have no visible chi
ployment, and whose associations lead
people to suspect them. Some steps
should be taken by the authorities OF
the city to drive away we'll dressed
vagrants and to protect the property Of
citizens.

TIE CoLvILLE RAILROAD WAR;
On Saturday morning the workmen
reached the house Of Col. Colville,
which had been built on the railroad
grade. The party were headed by A:
Mcdonald, conductor Of the gravel
train. The Colonel was in the house
at the time, and the first he knew OF
their presence the party we're in the
field near the house. lie went out
and ordered them to leave, and on
their refusal went back into the house.
They afterwards tried to put him out,
but did not succeed. and pulled the
house down over his hoad The cur.
rent report that the Colonel attempted
to shoot any one is mistake, though
he had revolver in his belt to use in
case of need. The contents Of the
house were carcfully-piled up, and as
little damage done as possible. In the
afternoon eleven men were arrested on
the complaint Of Col. Colvill for par
ticipation in the act. They were
brought before Esquire llasler and
gave bail for their appearance. Major
Van Slyke, Of Hastings, was also ar.
rested by being notified to appear al
the same time. We understand that
Col. Colvill bases his action upon the
decision of the Supreme Court of the
State made at the January session o1
1868, to the effect that section l3 OF
the charter of the railroad company is
invalid as it conflicts with the constitu.
ton. The constitution provides that
in cases of condcmning private prop
erty to public uses the owner shall
receive just compensation for damage
Section 13 of the charter provides only
for payment for the land actually taken
without reference to any injury to the
remaining land.-Rcd Wing Rcpubli:

Kill the Potato Bug

Whenever properly applied. One or two ap-
plications is all that is necessary to save any
crop of potatoes. 1t is cheap, easily applied,
and is cert.in.
This is the only compound which has been
discovered that will protect tho potato from
the ravagcs Of this great pest. Persistent
"buggng,' costing heavily in time, only rar-
TALLY save the vines; Paris Green will kill
them, but it must be re-applicd after every
wind or rain storm, and this is costly. The
inventor has saved his crops with only one an
plication, when the bugs were making fearful
ravagcs all around him ; and is certain that
only rarely will more than two applications
ever bc necessary.
In order to protect his rights the discovcrer
has patented the invention, but desires to
place it within tho reach Of all, by tho sale of
township, county, and State rights to cnergct-
ic men who will push tho sale Of tho article.
For terms, and further information apply to

The exterminator has only just been intro

mcnt; but all who have tried it give but one
report. That is just like the following:
The experiment which has been made during
the past week with Pagin's patent potato bug
cxterminator, has proved successful to degree
quito surprising. In all things there arc some
failures, and some difference of opinion as to
the worth ofthe article tested. In this it has
not been so. No instance has yet come to our
knowledge in which it has not done Just what
the inventor claims.
