Now this Mt Rennet is the anthor of t.thc
Distribution Bill of the last session of Congress,
about which so much has been said. He pro
poses at an early day to go behind the official
record for the purpose of showing that t he pub
lic lands are a burden tothe General Govern
ment, costing more than they come to. What
is Mr Bennett's object in making this avowal?
His object is no doubt, by showing that the
public lauds are of no advantage to the General
Government, to incline members to vote away
to the several States that which to the Govern
ment is valueless. But if those lands be a bur
den to the Government, as Mr Bennet contends,
will they not also prove a burden to the States?
Can thirty-one competitors, all anxious to sell,
dispose of tho lauds better than a single person
owning the whole, and not obliged by necessity
to force the lauds upon the market at a- time
when the demand is not active, and tho sales
slow? If Mr Bennett does not mind what he
is about he will prove too much for the cause
in which he is engaged. If he proves that the
public lands are so valueless that they may be
donated away by the Government without loss,
he is in some danger of also proving that they
are so valueless that they are not worth receiv
ing by the separate States.
Arrival of the Baltic Late from Europe
The steamer Baltic arrived at New York on

arrival is of not much importance. No change

It was but a few weeks ago, says the Green
brier, (Va.) Era, that we published the mar
riage of Iligginbotham, of Raleigh county, to
Miss Rebecca Gwin, of Fayette. We have now
to record the bridegroom's arrest for the mur
der of his wife, almost ere the honeymoon was
over. There was some disparity between the
ages of the pair 16 or 18 years and the mar
riage seems to have been cousumated with mean
motives ou the part of the husband. The bride
had a property of $3000 or $4000 iu ber own
right; and the husband, who seems to be a
person of an obtuse and mean mind conceived
the idea that by getting her out of the way he
could possess her property. Being iit the Blue
Sulphur Springs on Christmas day he bought
two ounces of arsenic aud a quantity of loaf
sugar; and on his return home, administered a
dose to his unsuspicious wife. The dose was so
large that it caused vomiting, but enough was
left on the stomaeh to cause her death in about
half an hour.
The husband was over-solicitous in hurrying
the funeral, which caused her relatives to take
the corpse to her mother's in Fayette. Here
they resolved upon having a coroner's inquest
held over the corpse, and sent for Dr Ilnnter,
of Lewisburg, to make an examination. We
have not learned the nature of the jury's vir
dict, but it was such as authorized his arrest.
Dr. II. brought the heart aud stomach of the
deceased away with him, and last night sub
mitted the contents of the latter to several
chemical tests, which conclusively shew the
presence of arsenic in large quantities
'Iligginbotham is now in Fayette jail; but as
the crime was committed in Raleigh county,
he will doubtless be removed thither.
Transfer of Property. The spirit of specu
lation seems to be rife in BrnnswicK to mij.
It is but a short time since we chronicled the
sale, bv the Hon. J. J- McKay one or two
months'before his death, of the Green Swamp
lands in that county, for $10,000; and we now
understand that the same tract has been sold
to a company for $00,000. It is an extensive
tract heavily timbered with cypress. Wilming

Wild Race of a Locomotive.
Recently on the Miami Railroad a collisiou
occurred at Milford. There was no loss of life,
but the circumstances were quite remarkable.
There had been an unusually heavy fall of snow
the night previous, by which the track became
heavy and the trains fell behind time at the
Milford station. The conductor was on the
platform helping the ladies to and from the
cars, when the whistle of the Hillsboro freight
train was heard, and the locomotive .ecn coin
ing around the sharp curve above Milford, at
ful! speed. T':e conductor of the freight train
was 011 the engine aud told his engineer to check
up. The signal was given, but tlie brakes were
insufficient to hold the wheels, and the curs came
booming down the slippery track with abated
but dangerous speed; wheels were reversed, and
the conductor and engineer jumped from the
engine. A brakeman 011 the mail tram shouted
to the passengers to get out, but before they
con Id escape the descending locomotive came
into the ear with a terrible crash, and went
nearly through, splintering wood and iron, but
and there's the marvel killing not one of the
twenty passengecs, the most of whom had got
well forward before the irou Lorsc came thun
dering over their scats!
When the engineer of the mail train heard
the crash of the collision, he supposed his own
train would be driven over him, and with his
assistants sprang off. The furnace had iust
been crammed with wood, and there was a full
head of steam on. The force of the blow un
coupled the locomotive and tender from the bag
gage car, at the same instant jerking the lever
and throwing the throttle valve wide opt 11.
Away sped the locomotive like an arrow, or,
if we might so say, like a fiat of Omnipotence,
sweeping down the track at seventy miles an
hour! God help any hapless train met or over
taken help the city but 14 miles below, for
that distance will be devoured in lf minutes !
The escaped Eegine came howling byPlah.

gers switched off into the double track, as light
ning from one steel rod to another divergent,
and thundered on to the city whose spires mut
now have been seen from the iron disc of this
fiery cornit but there was none to see, for no
rider, or driver, or living human soul had the
Engine none. On, straight on, the citv! the
city! !
Happily the furnace door flew open, the
draught ceased, and a little way above the up
per Engine House, ou a heavy up grade, the
locomotive's breath was spent; it came to a dead
stand and stood there silent and cold, forming
as much apart of the still wintry landscape ns
the whittened rock and shronded trees on tho
hillside above. Cincinnati Commercial.
