On Mondi.y the 17th in*l., us we learn liom the Marietta (lowu) L'xprets, a company of men from the neighboring town of Marshall (bath in Marshall County,) entered the place and car ried (ill' three prominent citizens of Marietta who had recently officiated as judges of an elec tion to decide the question of a county seat for the said county. Arrived at Marshall, one of the prisoners, Judge Smith, was informed that there was great danger of his being lrnched un less he re canvassed the returns and declared Marshall the winning town. After some farther intimidation Jjdge S. made out the required certificate declaring Marshall the county test. On the 1011, wyjg rnweing a train of wagons loaded with ned men followed by about foity persous on loot with muskets on their shoal ders, entered Marietta with the intention of car rying oil' the county records, As., but they were met at the court house by the citi/._-na of Mari etta and repulsed without bloodshed. The next day tht court lioube was guarded by about four hundred armed men, but no lurther attempt was made to take the records. From New York. New \ ouk, Jan. 27.—The steam tog 0.

They would produce a letter, purporting to 4 have been written by Sophie Werner, and the * jary ahould judge from the evidence whether it I was genuine; tticy should show that Sophie f Werner had u quantity of money which he ap propnated towards pjying for a lot; that before : be was arretted, various persona inquired of him f what bad become of her; that he replied to one " that be had settled up with her and she woald never trouble him again." To another that he had had trouble with one woman, and he should * be caretul how he had trouble with another. £ They would show that the deceased came to this city tram Milwaukee expeciiug to go with ' him to St. Louis to open a shop; that she man- c utaetured a number of towels and brought them with her, and they were lound iu her trunks. t Mr. llaven then proceeded to read the indict ment, whiclT is io three couuts.

For C some time in his native land, he was employed , about a medical college, to prepare tubjects for t dissection, whence and where he learned fa- i miliarity with the human frame and its disaec- 1 tion. He came to this country in 1554. Was a l a resident of New Bedford, Mass., and later at f Lowell, where he bccime enamored of a young 1 woman he still cherished allection for.
