THE DAILY DISPATCH. FRIDAY" MORNING, DECEMBER 16, IBM. A Yot'no H*»o.—The Madison (lud.) Daiif At gu», relates the following story. As a case of moral heroism, it exceed* that imputed to Knud lverson, the young Norwegian: "A beautiful, fair haired, blue-eyed boy, about nine vesrs ol age, was taken r rom tne Orphan Asy lum Hi Milwaukee, and adopted by a respectable fanner of Marquette, a prole.-sor oi religion and a member of the Baptist persuasion. A girl, a little older than the boy, was alto adopted into the "•"J' 1 "' family. Soon niter these children were Installed in tlieir new home, the bey discovered criminal con duct an the part of bis new mother, woich he men tioned to the little girl, and it there, y came to the ears of the woman; she iudtg«* ,,! ly denied the sto ly to the satisfaction of bet husoand. and insisted that the boy thou! 1 be whipped until he confessed the falsehood. The man—poor, weak biwt—im pelled to a sense of relisious duty, pn.coe.ioi to the ta-k assigned him. by procuring a bundle of rods, stripping the . hild naked and suspending hi n by a cord to the ratters of the house, and whipping■ litm. at intervals for over two hours, till the blood ran through the floor, making a pool upon the floor be low- Mopping only to rest r.nd interrogate the hoy and'grains 110 <* h, ' r "V'T " 1V ' l " 1,1 . t|,e truth—l cannot tell a lie;" the woman all the time ur-ins him to "do hi* duty." The poor li'tle hero, released from his torture, threw his arms around the net k ol his tormentor, kissed him and said. "l'a. lam so cold.' and died. It appeared in evidence, upon the trial < i tills man nod woman for murder, that the child did tell the truth; and suffered death by slow torture ri.thcr than tell a lie. The ase of heroism and martyrdom will not have passed till mothers cease to instill holy pre cepts into the minds of their infant offspring. The man and woman who murdeml this angel child, are now in the Penitentiary at Waupun, to which liiey were sentenced for ten years." Jkvny I.inp.—A lady, formerly of Charleston, but now a resident of Dresden, writes as follows with regard to Jenny Lind. We find the letter iii tho Charleston Courier: "Jenny Liud, whom 1 believe 1 have already mentioned us living opposite to u j , lias a liule son, she nurses him herself. On the doctor's remon strating with her, imd by way of porsuation, assur ieg her ihat her voice would miller—nay, that she ran tlie risk of losing if it the pursisted in fulfilling thii maternal duty, she said —Tcut n'importe je itmplira lcs titroirs d'une mere a won i n/ant' — really a sublime saerifis ou her part. She lives perlectly secluded; the sees no one; her husband she has converted, or io use her own words, 'he is baptized by the grace of God.' She says that the idea of her having been upon the stage will be a cause of remorse lor life, for which she ean never forgive herself. The good Germans think ou the subject of religion she is more than an enthusiast. She made so noble a use of her powers whilst a public singer, ihat lam suresha should view it in a different light. lam told she has not much ot a fortune, as she would prefer living in England; but on account of tlie expense, has ciiosen Dresden as a place ol residence." A Remakkabls Scene. —Died in Strong, Me., of the malignant throat distemper, which Lwtiled all the skill ot physicians, on the 20tii of November, Thomas Demy, aged nine years; on the 26ih, Abby Josephine, aged 6 years; ou the 27th, Nancy, aged 11 years; and in five minutes afterwards, Jane, aged fourteen years—all children of Mr. Thomas Ken nedy. During the scene a little infant daughter was added to the family. The three deceased daughters, after being placed in coffins, were each in turu brought to tlie bedside ot the sick mother, at her earnest solicitation, tor a parting look, after which they were deposited together in the grave.— What a change in one short we«k.—Fannington CAron icl;. Two MiiRS Ch u'ters in the Kissans Case. — The unlortuuutcKiioaiie may well thiakthat mis fortunes "come m battalions." J. U.

Clarke's bill is 61,001 67, the balance claimed as due $4t)6 67. The trial oi thecaeewfil ''open up 1 ' further strange develop ments regarding the startling events iu this young man's lite. A Mrs. I' .ilock, of Cincinnati, has been held to hail upon the charge oi twiudling Ki.-eaue out ot' $2,0J0. The motaer of Ki tat;e entered the com plaint, and swore to the fact that t-ha paid Mrs. Pollock on request of Mrs. P. §2,000, having been told by Mrs I'. that witn that sum the release of Kissane could be effected. Mrs. Pollock has here tofore sustained a good character, and has been noted tor her efforts of benevolence.—Cleveland tier aid. Astronomical Explorations.—Within, com paratively, a short period ol time, twenty-three smell planets, in addition toCeres, Juno, Vesta, an I Pallas, have greeted the eyes oi our astronomers; and the conviction is beginning to prevail that the r.um ier ot these minor planers is incalculable.— The idea, too, is strengthening, that all our stars have a plenary character; for it is found, on look ing at certain parts ol the heavens which were ac curately ma;.pod a few years ago, that tlie ';everal objects aie no longer iu the relative positions as signed to them on the maps. Here ij a new theme for speculation. Will the searchings of science ever unravel the secrets of these mysterious orbs? Boston Journal. An Intense Native American.—'The most de cided case of nativeism we have recently known, is that of a person in Boston, who was ticked to at tend the Pilgrim Ball, at Plymouth, yn the 22d in stant. He replied, that "he was nftt going forty miles to attend a celebration in honor of the arri val ol a parcel of foreigners." This year's product of shawls in this country is estimated at about of which the Bay State Mills, Mas?, are said to have made 300,000. The bridge across the Chagres river, at Barba coes, is completed, and a train of five cars passed over it on the 24th ult. A bill is before the South Carolina Legislature to exempt the volunteers from that State, in the Florida war, from ordinary militia duty. Always doubt the sincerity of a girl's love when you see her wipe her mouth after you kiss her. The cholera is evidently approaching our shores in that mysterious wave which no human power can stay.

Mr. Kettle, of Buffalo, has invented k fastening to be applied to the inside of doors, which may be put on and takei. ofl' without tools, and is email enough to be carried in the veit pocket. There is philosophy in the remark, that "evei-y man has in his own lite lollies enough—iu his own mind trouble enough—in the performance of his duties deficiencies enough—in his own fortunes evils enough without being curious after the at lairs of ethers.

Garden, ol Wheeling, waa brutally murder ed on Sunday last, while returning from Woods field, where he went on Saturday to pay his taxes and near where he owned a farm. He was riding along in company with several neighbors, a portion of whom proceeded abend nta brisk pace, leaving Garden in company with a man named Ilenry Craig and another man who was much intoxicat ed. Garden remarked that be would soon over take rtu:m. When the men in advance reached the river tliey waited for sometime, and (lard en not coming up, they returned and found him ly ing dead on the ground, weltering in blood, with his skull horribly beaten and mangled by a blow from a stone; his brains scattered tor several rods around; one of his eyes knocked out, aud his body awfully mangled. Craig was lying on the body, an .1 the other man, whose name we did not ascer» tain, on the ground nearby, with the bridle of one of the horses on his arm. The Wheeling Intelli gencer says: "No cause is assigned for this terrible murder. Craig pretended to be so drunk that he did not know what he was doins. Trails of blood were traced for some distance, as if Garden had attempt ed to escape after he was first struck. Appearances, in some respects, indicate that Craig was divested ot all his clothing except his pants. This, bow ever, is a mere surmise, as there was no evidence of it elicted at the examination. Craig is a single man, and had been in the employ of JuJge Elihu Morris. He was committed to jail."

The improvement consists in the employment of s metal superior to gold in purity, and in tbe complete onion of all the teeth by a silicious compound, whicb at the same time forms the most beautiful and natu ral looking gum, arid filling up all crevices and irregu larities, and rendering it impossible for the teeth to become unpleasant to the wearer by the accumula tion of particles of food »r other substances between them. No other mode of mouutinj artificial teeth is comparable to this in any respect.
