0& Persons who advertise in the newspapers should
always mark their advertismients with the number of
insertions; otherwise they often forget and let the ad
vertisement run longer than necessary . and when the
bill comes to be settled, there is something said about the
con. And when an article is advertised for sale, when it
is sold, the advertiser should attend to taking it out of
tiie paper, because it misleads the readers of the paper
besides running him to more cost.

The only case of "ftnporttfhce before the
Court last week wss the trial of John
Tilghman for the mifrdef of Joseph J.
TiMiman, removed from lenoff. The
case excited ' much m!ercsf in this com
munity fiom the great length trf the (rial,
and the sfrenoons efforts made by the de
fence to clear the priso'ifef. After a full
hearing, and long dciibef atftm by the Jury,
a verdict was rendered of i( Gtiirty of mur
der in the ut degree'' a righteous ver
dict, and iu universal accordance with
public sentiments.-
The evidence en tire part of the State
proved, that Joseph J. Tilghirfan the mur
dered matt, had been,- on the evening of
the loth of August, to feed Iris hogs,- a dis
tance of about one-fourth of a mile from ns
house ; within a ferr minutes, a gun was
heard to go off in the direction he hail
"one. The murdered man reached his
house, bearing on him, one wound made by
a ball, and two other wounds cm each side
of his head, from which he died trf a' short
time, before medical assistance could reach
hiirr. He declared that he had been killed
by John Ttlglim'an, who said, he sotight
him out for that purpose". The' prisoner
a few minutes after the report was heard,
reached the house of a neighbor, with art
unloaded musket, and having a severe
wound in one of his hands. The musket
was slightly bent, anJ was proved to bti
the property of John Tilghmaii ; a knife,
belonging to Joseph J. Tilghman, was
found iu the road near a puddle of blood,
where the murder Was supposed to have
been committed. Evidence was also" in
troduced, to show the topography of the
road where the murder was committed.
A hedge row ran along side of the road,
with a gap in it, opposite the place where
the puddle of blood was found. Many
circumstances were given in evidence hav
iti"; a bearing on the case. The examina
tion of evidence continued Until Thursday,
about 11 o'clock. The case was then open
ed for the defence" by Geo. S. Stevenson,
Ksejr. The killing was admitted y he as
sumed that a scuttle had ensued between the
prisoner and the murdered man and that
in the scufiie. Joseph J. Tilghman was shot,
and John Tilghman received a severe
wound in the hand, and tried to show that
all the facts were consistent with this sup
position He was followed by Geo. Green,
Kstjr., for the Itate Messrs John
Wooten and Win. II. Washington follow
ed for the prisoner, and the Solicitor clos-
I he Solicitor took the
position that the murdered matt had been
shot by the prisoner; while standing in
ambush behind the hedge row, there being
no marks of powder on his face; that the
murdered man had retreated dropping his
wallet of corn, was intercepted by the
prisoner at the point where the gap was in
the hedgerows, and here were inflicted the
two wounds on his head with the musket;
that Joseph J. Tilghman had got his knife
out by that time, and that the prisoner's
hand come in contact with it accidentally,
when giving the blow with the musket. The
knife was exhibited in Court anil was only
a rusty jack-knife, very dull, and it must
have required a tremendous blow to driv
son's body.
It appears that the bank directors have
had warning that an attempt would be
made to rob the bank, and have had a
watchman there for a week past ; which
fact wasgenerally known. The three com
panions of the deceased are supposed to
have drawn Page, who was of rather bad
habits, into the attempt. They all es
caped in a carriage they brought with them.

A motion was made for a new trial, on
several grounds the strongest of which
was, that improper evidence had been
admitted, ("the dying declarations of the
murdered man,) and a separation of the
jury. The judge heard the motion ar
gued at length, but overruled it. The
prisoner was sentenced to receive the ex

have arrived in Canada since the passage
of the slave law. The sympathy formerly
extended towards them has, in a great mea

the negroes are now suffering for the neces

about returning to the States, and taking
the consequences.

The Ohio River The Ohio is an inter

down a few days ago, and passed fifty two
steamers aground, all crowded with pas

to New York, our people will have to give
up the Western route to the North, unless

ATTEMPT AT NULLIFICATION
DEFEATED.
We received a telegraphic despatch,
dated the 25th instant, from S. S. Hays,
at Chicago, slating the efforts of the city
council to mdlify the late fugitive slave
law, and the consequent assemblage of a
large public meeting to disapprove ot the
act. Judge Douglas, of the Senate, address
ed this meeting in a most able and eloquent
speech, vindicating that law. and condemn
ing the efforts to evade it. Theeflect was
tremendous the meeting unanimously
dissented from the act of the council, and
that body subsequently rescinded the act.
Such is the force of truth, boldly, openly,
and manfully maintained. Judge Douglas
deserves the highest credit for his patriotic
efforts to sustain the law and the consti
tution of his country.
Never was a more triumphant tribute
paid to the cause of truth, maintained with
firmness and advocated with eloquence,
than in the aftort of Judge Douglas on this
delicate and trying occasion. That one
single man should, by his moral courage
anil his intellectual resources, so success
fully turn the tide of opinion in a meeting
of 4,000 citizens that he should, by a sin
gle speech, have effected an entire "revo
lution of public sentiment," and that he
should have induced even the council of
Chicago to cancel its nullifying resolu
tions ris a feather in his cap which any
orator might desire to wear. We know
not whether it is a higher compliment to
the force of his talents or to the power of
truth. fFashingion Union.
