THE UPPRRCUR MURDER CAsE.-The pub
lished statements that suspicion has been di-
rected towards another person than young
Uppercue in the late murder of Mrs. Wheat are
incorrect. 1t is learned from the officers who
have given the case their attention that no sus-
picion whatever attaches itself to any other
person than the accused, and it is also asserted
that the case against him Is being strengthened.
On Monday Uppercue was visited ut the Jail by
the young lady to whom he was to have been
married yesterday, and who, 1t may be said
still maintains her belief in his innocence. 1t is
now stated that another person e butcher re-
siding In the western section OF the city, also
states that he heard in all four pistol shots. and
Saw a man leaving the rear OF Mrs. Wheat's
residence Immediately after the shooting. The
name of this witness has not yet been ascer-
tanned, but it is claimed by the friends of the
accused that he will be forthcoming at the
approaching trial, which promises to rival In
interest any that has ever occurred in this state
Yesterday Uppercue was closeted with Judge
lngles zone OF his counsen st the jail for sew
eral hours, and ii Is understood that he was
Instructed not to make any further statements

visit him before, the trial takes place.-Balti-

TIE OLDEST PATENT ON RECoRD.-An ap-
plcation was recently made at the Patent Office
for patent on a sort of paddle OF spade at
tachment to the end of a gun, having a
sharp point, and which, ii was claimed,
would be seryiceable in digging holes in the
ground, throwing up entertainments, &c.
The Examiner to whom the application was
referred, happenedtO be an old and close reader
OF the scripture, as was shown by his returning
the application endorsed "Reiected. Not
Patentabe. See Deuteronomy 25-13." By ref
erence to the text named il will be seen tn At the
invention alluded to is OF pretty ancient date
and is probably the Oldest patent on record.
