" . . . -''. . , AN ATROCIOUS MURDER. Thbk usual quiet of our village was serious ly disturbed on New Year's evening, by tho commission, in one' of , its public streets, of a murder of the darkest dye, and without a1 shadow of provocation on tho part of. tho victim.. The, attending' circumstances, as elicited before tne Jury of Iuquest, were sub stantialJy as follows: 'iPatrick Connell, a young roan of 6orae eighteen or twenty years, who has resided for some time in this vicinity, visited our village on New Year's day, and in company with oth ers drank freely of liquor; just at the edge of evening these devotees of Bacchus started for a stroll 'and soon found themselves in the 'icihity'of several' of our Holland citizens, known as the 14 saw dust addilPon," where they met several Hollanders, one' bf them having an ax in his hand, ho requested the owner to let him tako it, this at first was refused; urg ing his request however under pretense of a desire to try its edge- upon a slab of wood ying close by, his wish was granted, and seiz ing 'tho ax he threw it at a distance, and squaring himself, challanged the Hollander to fight,'1 and at the same time commenced beating him,' without any serious resistance on the part of the Hollander; his companions, however soon succeeded in getting him away from his assailant and cno conducted him in to a house, close by, while the other stood on the outside. ' Connell, watching his opportu nity, seized a piece of scantling, some six feet long, and struck the unfortunate man, nam ed Hiram Jonker, a vigorous blow upon the head, knocking him at once to tho ground; and oil his attempting to rise, hit him again, and continued to strike him across tho back- while down, until one of the inmates of the hoii'se rushed out and succeeded in wresting the scantling from him. The wounded man was taken to the house, and died in a short time.' 1 ' Jonker was a young man of very exempla ry character, noted for his piety, as well as for his gentle and inoffensivo disposition, had been out of health for a length of time, and thus unable to act in self defence, and the only show of provocation offered to tho ruth less assault was the assistance he had tried to render his companion, when compelled to re sist a wanton attack from a drunken assailant. Great indignation justly prevails in tho com munity toward the guilty party. Tho cir- curtistances attending the case are of the most atrocious and aggravated character, and doubtless will call down upon tho head of the murderer tho severest penalty of the aw. 1 Connell has been arrested and committed to jail to await his trial. TEMPERANCE. Deacon Johnston is agrcat temperance man, and sels a good example of total abstinence as far as he is seen. Not long ago ho em ployed a carpenter to make somo alterations in his parlor and in repairing the corner near the tire-place, it was found necessary to re jnovc the wainscoting, when lo! a discovery was made that astonished every body. A brace of decanters, a tumbler, and a pitcher were cozily reposing there, as if they had stood thcro from tho beginning. The Dea con was summoned, and as ho beheld the blushing bottles, he exclaimed, '. Wa'll, I declare, that is curious, sure enough. It must be that old Baines left them things thcro when he went out of this 'ere house thirty years ago." 44 Perhaps he did," returned tho carpenter; 44 but. Deacon, the ice in tho pitcher must 'have been friz mighty hard to stay so till this time." "A little further investigation showed that some one in the Deacon s family had a private entrance into the closet, and it was probable the bottles and pitcher were in daily use. Now . this 6tory is no doubt made up by somo of the Ant i-Maine law people, who are always trying to throw suspicion on tho tem perance men. We do not believe it; but tho following is said to be a true bill: Young W atkins, John Watkins, of Virgin ia, camo North to visit .his maternal uncle, Col. Joseph Martindale, a very worthy man, in'the vicinity' of Boston, who was at the head of the temperance party there, and never allowed any of tho intoxicating fluid to bo kept on tho premises, or drank by any one in his employ. John wa3 a" great favorite with tne uncio ana an ine iamny, irom tne parlor to the coach-house. His visit had been anticipated with pleasure, and every body was disposed to make the most of him. After breakfast, beforo the Colonel went into town as wa his daily practice, he asked John Into the library, and said to him, 44 We are all temperance here; but I keep a little old brandy cere for tny own ut I take a drop before you ride? ' John, took a thimbleful, and tho Colonel went off. No sooner was he cone, than Mrs. Martindale, seeing John on the piazza, beck oned him to come in, and leading him 'to her boudoiry remarked, very good-naturedly, 44 You see, John, we are all very strict tem perance folks. The Colonel never djinks, and lets no one else : but I keep a little for my i dyspepsia. Would you drink some thing be-; fore you go out?" So John took a glass of old brandy, and the Colonel's wife joined him in tho same. John strolled out to tho carriage-house, and thought ho would take one of the Colonel s saddle-horses and run over the country a while. As soon as the coachman saw him he touched his hat, and said, 44 Begging your pardon, Master John, but may be you would like to taste a drop of li quor this cool morning. The Colonel is so hard on us that wo have to kape it all suug; but I have some that can't be bate." So John drank with the coachman, and gave him a quarter for his politeness; but by this time he was so nearly drunk that he had to postpone his ride till the next day. John said that . the worst place for liquor he was ' ever in was Colonel Martindale's, and he had to shorten his visit and hasten home to keep out of the way of temptation. Harpers Magazine. The Coalition against Walker. Au eastern cotemporary states that the coalition against Gen. Walker is more extensive than is generally supposed. Not only all tho States of Central America, but Venezuela, Chili, Ecuador, Peru and New Granada, appear to be concerned in it. It is 6a id that Chili is to contribute 1,000 men, and Peru 81,000,000 of the guano fund. This coalition is believ ed to havo been arranged by tho Transit Company, whose interests Walker has ruin ed. Thus far, but three States havo actually taken tho field in Nicaragua, being Costa Rica, San Salvador, and Gautumala, and of these the first appears to bo the foremost in tho fray. This is owing to British aid which is furnished liberally, British influence be ing paramount in Costa Rica. Dct. rreo Press. The Value of Lake Superior Mines. Upon theso mines the London Shipping Oa- zette savs : 44 Wo cannot but behold with wonder the munificence of the gifts which Providenco has showered upon this extensive region. What inexhautiblo elements of wealth lio around tho shores of Lake Superior. Be sides its important fisheries, nature has devel oped its immen8o mineral treasurers UDon a 6calo as grand as its waters. Its copper mines, tho most extensive and productive in the world, furnish single masses of the un paralleled weight of sixty tons-. Its iron mines surpass those ot bweden and Russia, in extent and excellence of mineral. It is predicted by acute metallurgists that its sil ver mines, though as yet undeveloped, will ono dav vie with those of Mexico." It is a popular belief that man and the to- bacco worm are the only two animals known that will eat tobacco. Per contra, however. the editor of tho St. Louis Reimblican nssprta that tho deer and the goat will both eat it; and that the goat in particular is very fond of it leing, in fact, when opportunity offers. an excessive chewer of the weed. Hoaxing the S a vans. The folio winir n. nexed anecdote is one told of a distinguished judge in Pennsylvania: no punoincu nis grandmother s fan and buried it for considerable time in very damp ground. Having disguised it as completely as was in his power, he sent to a society, with ... .1 J an iritiuufiiio uc&unpuon io prove ii was tne wing of a bat. It was recioved with due so lemnity and a vote of thanks passed to the donor. A debate arose as to the sneciea to which it belonged, and a committee (if seven was appointed to ascertain whether it was the wing of a Madagascar or a Canadian .bat. The committee sat three weeks, and after con sulting Buffon's Natural History, and .Gold smith's Animated Nature, they reported that it must have belonged to the Madagascar bat. It was pronounced the greatest curiosity in tho museum, except a large sheet of brown paper, which the judge had hung up in the chimney and disguised with soot and dirt, ana paimea upon the society as a part of a Brahmin's shirt. The Oldest Man in America. Peter Nassau, a colored man, now a resident of Woodstock, Vermont, has reached the extra ordinary age of 126 years, and is doubtless the oldest living man in this country. His history has been traced out by N. Haskell, Esq., Town Clerk of Woodstock, and it ap pears that he was born two years before Washington, was 46 years old at tho date of the Declaration of Independence, and long before tho second war with Great Britain broke out ho had passed the Scriptural limit of life three score years and ten. A Louisiana correspondent of tho Jour nal of Commerce says the sugar crop of that State will fall short of 100,000 hhds.! tho present year. In 1853 the yield was 495, 000 hhds.
