XJTTo Cobrksposdehts. Almost Jai
lwe receive communication through the
Post Office without any real signature.
We wish it distinctly understood that wo
will publish no communication which is
not accompanied with a genuine name.
We shall always bo pleased to publish
anything oar readers may send us, provi
ded it be of interest. Especially would
we ask our friends in tho villages around
to send any local items which may trans
pire, marriages, deaths, kc, anything
which may be of interest to their laeality.
We know there are many who think they
can't writo ior the paper, so in that case,
if they will give us the facts, wo will put
it in shape. If our readers will send along
their item of ntws, we will be enabled to
givo them a good home paj)er. .
jiarYiKGixu Election. Tho returns
received thus far show very distinctly that
Henry A. WisehasbeenelectedGovernor.
What his majority will bo is hard to guess,
as tho leturns are very much mixed. In
some connties he is represented to have
even gained on the vote of Mr. Pierce, who
had 15,221 majority in the State; while on
tho other hand Flournovhas trained larcelv
on me vote oi scou. in tne lourtu Con
gressional District Wise's majority is
1,498, with Cumberland and Powhatan
(both democratic counties) to hear from;
in the samo district Pierce's majority was
1,474. Henry A. Wiso has been elected
Governor by the usual democratic majori
ty, from seven to eight thousaud. This is
triumph, considering how sadly the times
are out of joint, of which tho gentleman
from Accomac may be justly proud.
Wise onco said he "thanked God tnat
there was not a newspaper published in
his district." Perhaps this fact accounts
for his election to the Governorship of the
State where negro-breeding is aristocratic,
and negro-driving respectable.

of crops look very promising. In some

showers, reviving everything. The good
time looked for so long is coming.

The well-informed Paris correspondent
of tho National Intelligencer takes notice
of the fact that the French semi-official
writers continue to insist that Austria is
on tho eve of declaring war on tho Czar,
and says: "I see nothing to justify this
belief, but on the contrary much militat
ing against such a result. Prussia, it is
said, is preparing, with nearly all the sec.
ondary German States, an offensive anl
defensive treaty establishing an armed
neutrality. Sweden and Denmark will, it
is believed, accede to such a treaty. Aus
tria, even if sho desired war, would be
compelled to leave her sword in its scab-

The N. Y. Courier says, a physician
in large practice was asked by a stranger
yesterday, if New York was healthy. He
replied, "Universally so; the extravagant

rily, we derive most of our practice !"
The Use op Guano. The Agricultural
Bureau of the Patent Office has issued a
caution to farmers in relation to the use of
guano as a manure. The paper says that
in the application of this valuable manure
it is necessary to keep in view its powerful
propenios, ana to exercise great caro to
prevent its coming into immediate contact
with the newly sown seed or the folium of
plants and flowers. It never should be
placed in contact with seeds; for all seed.
m the process of germination give off a
greater or lees quantity of carbonic acid
and vinegar; and these acids, having strong
affinities for the ammoniacal portion of tho
guano, are apt to attract it so powerfully as
to check and even destroy vegetation.

The Stato is therefore without a Liquor

Dear Father: Before this note shall have

heard of my misfortuno by tho papers,
though I fear not exactly according to fact.
Tho question of slavery hero has come to
such a pitch of excitement that wo aro on
the eve of a civil war, and it has been my
misfortune to striko tho first fatal blow at
a meeting relative to claims, which took a
strong party turn, as everything in this do
voted territoiy docs.

the opposite party, to call some of the pro
ceedinga a fraud, (i. c. deriding a vote
against I-3)he rushed at mo with a pieco of
2-by-4 scantling. I fled from him till he
struck me, then I shot him through the
body. Ho died in about ten oi twenty
minutes. I was also &hot at as I received
Clark's blow, but not wounded; was after
wards shot and slightly wounded. Our
party was not as great on the ground as
the pro-slavery, or wo should have had
somo more work to do. I expect to got
out on small bail soon. Your affection

A Heartless Villain. A fow years
ago an individual with a Frenchy name
camo to reside temporarily in a neighboring
village. His foreign air, added to a sus
picion that ho was wealthy, soon mado him
a decided lion. Ho was some what advan
ced in yearn, of a commanding figure, and
passed himself off as a bachelor. After
a scries of flirtations with divers young la
dies of the place, he finally ' wooed and
won a young lady of respectability and
eminent personal attractions. They were
married, and for somo months matters went
smoothly enough. Finally, however, he
pretended to be called away to rcnsylvama
on business, and left home on promise, of
returning in a few weeks. Month attor
month, passed away, still tho husband did
not return, nor could any thlings of his
whereabouts be obtained. 1 ho wife and
child were mostly dependent upon thoir
friends during all this time. . A few days

Fly lathe Wheat!
Again, we fear, aro tho fields to bo visi
ted by the destructive Hessian fly and wco
vil. From Michigan comes this word
through the Detroit Inquirer:
Wo learn from the most reliable source
of information, from gentlemen who pass
ed tho sceno of devastation on last Thurs
day and Friday, that tho fly has attacked
the wheat in toe counties of Cass, St. Jo
seph and Hillsdale, and has mado a gene
ral havoc. Farmers, whose fields a fow
days sinco, promised a yield of twenfy-fivo
bushels to the aero, now lio wasted by this
frightful enoray of tho harvest. In some
instancos, as our informant stated to us, all
hopo had been given up, and tho crop
ploughed up tor sowing other grains.
Another gentleman from Berrien Coun
ty informed ui last night, that in that couu
ty and to a wide extent in the counties of
Calhoun, Jackson and Washtenaw, the
samo havoc exists, but more generally in
the hrst named counties.
Our informants, both from tho South
em, as well as the central portions ot the
State, agree that is far as the fields can be
seen, those sown with Mediterranean wheat,
have been cut off.
Unless the fly leaves tho wheat soon,
as it has done in certain seasons, there will
be but slight hopes of the harvest.
How sad, and how sudden is this
change, from tho condition of things,
which we have, from time to time taken
pleasuro in heralding, upon tho authority
of our best farmers. But the wheat crop
is, of all others, tho most appropriate type
ot vicissitude and insecurity from tho day
it enters the ground till it enters tho gar
ner.
"Strinofellow," tho immortal pro-
slavery apostle, a fow days before the
Kansas election, addressed a crow'd at St.
Josephs, Mo., and laid down tho follow
ing programme of operations for tho elec
tion:
"I tell you to mark every scoundrel
among you that is tho least tainted with
freesoihsm or abolitionism, and extermi
nate him. Neither givo nor tako quarter
from tho d d rascals. I propose to
mark them in the houso, and on the pre3
ont occasion, so you may crush them out.
To thoso who have qualms of conscience as
to violating laws, stato or national, the
timo has como when such impositions
must be disregarded, as your rights and
property are in danger, and I advise you,
one and all, to enter every election district
in Kansas, in defianco of Reeder and his
vile myrmidons, and voto at the point of
the bowie-knue and revolver. Neither
give nor takequarter, as our cause demands
It is enough that tho slave-holding
interest wills it, from which there is no
appeal. W aat rights has Governor Reed
er 'to rule Missourians in Kansas ? His
proclamation and prescribed oath must be
repudiated. It is your interest to do bo.
Mind that slavery is established where it
is not prohibited."
Importing Vegetables. It is not a
great many years since Connecticut used
to supply tho West India Islands with on
ions and other kinds of vegetables; but now
tho tide has turned, and a stream of veget
ables is pouring in upon us from the West
Iudies and all other parts of the world.
We are certainly getting to be great eat
ers. Witn tne nnest sou ana tne uest cli
mate in the world for all kinds of vegeta
ble productions, we aro importing from
foreign countnos tho articles that ought to
be produced in our own gardens. Bermu
da supplies us with early potatoes and to
matoes: and it scsms that the British Prov
inces at the East oi us are supplying us
with eggs; which aro now imported duty
free under the Ueciprocity treaty. Twelve
hundred and sixty dozen of JNova bcotia
eggs were entered at the Custom House in
Boston on one day this w.eck. We im
port enormous quantities of dried prunes
from France, a kind of fruit that grows
abundantly in all of our Eastern and Mid
dle States; we import hga from (Smyrna
which might as well be grown in North
Carolina; giapes from Spain, which can
bo raised in Virginia; nuts from Maderia;
which may me raised in New lork ; and
olives, which might bo produced in abun-
danco in nearly all of the boutnern states.
As for eggs, the value of which is so much
greater when they can be worranted frosh,
wo snouia naruiy tninK mat is couiu un
profitable to import them from abroad.
Peaches- wo aro able to raise in as great
quantities as wo can consume ; but wo shall

earn unlocking the inner door, and up
on takVvg off the loik, found ia it a piece
ol a toy, which had evidently been brok
ca m an attempt Ut unlock tho door from
moiiiMJO. ituimiuiry a ta tho matter
by the Sheriff, resulted ia ascertaining
thoso fact: By the agency of some visi
tors Parks the murderer had been ablo to
obtain a dnplicato key of his cell door,
which had tho same kind of a lock as the
inuerdoor of tho jail a revolver, and a
wrench. About half-paht seven he had
with his key unlocked the cell of a German
then s siting his sentence lor burgl.irv.
and offered him two hundred dollars if he
would put his hand through tho grating
tho apertures being too small to admit
his owuhsnd and unlock it. 1 lie Ger
man refused. Puiks then presented the re
volver and threatened to blow his bruins
out unless ho did it, and thus obtained his
. . rni . . . i . .
assistance, auo aueiupt resulted as we
havo related in tho breaking off of the
wnrdii nf tho kev in tho lock. Parka h.-w
hitherto been allowed tho liberty of the
halls in the day tim, being locked in his
cell at night, and watched bv a special
guard. Ho is now ironed, and confined
to his cell both night and day, and ovcry
access to him closely guarded.
lho design of Parks, as revealed bv the
uerman and otners, was, alter having ef
fected tho unlocking of the insido gratimr.
to unscrew with the wrench tho lock which
fastened the outer grated door and to ac
complish this, tho German would also
havo been necessary, ho having a very
biuall hand and arm. In case it was im
possible to get off the lock, then at tho mo
ment tho turnkey should entor through the
outer grating, to rush by, or if necessary
shoot luin, push open the wooden door
which conccalod tho gratings from the
view of thoso in tho hall of the jailor's
houso, unbolt tho street door, and once in
the open air, to makohis escape by the aid
of friends who wore in waiting with a car
riage near the jail yard gate. The plans
wore well laid, and but lor the awkward
ncss of tho German in turning tho key, we
should havo had to record tho oscapo of
this despcrato vilhan, and probably auoth-
or murder.
The wife of Parks has had free access
to him, and may havo been tho means
usod to convey to him tho revolver, etc.
Tho instruments wero carefully concealed
in a stovo pipe passing through or near
his coll, and tho key, wrench, etc., were
so muffled that no sound would be made
by their use. Tho carriage was observed
near the jail yard nt tho time, and at
tracted but slight notice, but both car
riago and driver aro now known.
Animals Foretelling Tns Weather.
It is said that tho woodcock in New
Jersey is building its nest, this year
in open and moist places; and old hunts
men predict in consequence that tho sum
mer will bo a dry ono. Thero was a time
when science, or what was called such,
laughed at signs of this description, as no
better than 'old woman s tiles,' but though
many ot them are still unreliable, a larger
observation of nature has taught that an
imals havo an instinct, which unfrequently
becomes prophetic, as in this example.
At last yaar's meeting of tho American
Association for the. advancement of Sci
ence, a curious paper was road on this
subject by Mr. N. B.Thomas, of Cincina
ti, who had for several years studied the
habits of animals in reference to the indi
cations which they might afford respecting
tho weather. lie showed that birds, if the
season was to a windy or wet one, build
their nests in sheltered places; bnt if it
was to bo dry, in localities moro exposed;
that certain kinds of snails always came
out nnrl crept up the limbs of trees sever
al days before rain; and that locusts, wasps
and other insects wero invaribly to bo
found under loaves, and in the hollow trunk
of trees, hours before a storm sets in.
Tho sagacity thus displayed, if wo may
call it such, so?msto put the highest rea
son of man into shamo. In vain do our
mostezp'ortsawans endeavor to predict the
character of an approaching season. or
even loietell, a few days in advance, the
condition of the weather, Tho woodcock
that unerringly fixes its nest in tho spot
best suited for tho coming summer, or the
snail whoso turborcles begin to grow ten
clays beforo tho rain they are preparing to
receive, appears at first sight, to surpass
the more developed man. But tho inferi
ority of thoso lower orders of animals is
in the quantity of endowments rather than
in the quality; they havo a single taculty
developed in an extraordinary degree,
while man has, as it were, laculties almost
infinite. In thus adaptizing each organi
sation to its special potition, tho wisdom of
the Creator is forcibly exhibited. lJhua

Important to Justices of the Peace
The District Court nt its last terra in
Columbiana count)', decided that in all
cases in which Justices of the Peace recog
nize persons charged with offences to tho
to the Probato Court, that the Justices
may find the defendant guilty of the char
ges preferred, and that such finding must
appear in tho transcript. The case was
that of Ohio vs. Conrad Sharpc, for vio
lating the liquor law, and the defendant
was discharged, on the ground that the
Court had no jurisdiction, the transcript
not settling forth tho above points,. We
understand that transcripts sent up to the
Probato Court here, are nearly all defective
in like manner. Jnsticos should take no
tice of this, otherwise tho county may bo
put to usolcss expense. bteubenvule Un
