all their southern whiffet dog train? The
only way in which wc can move the pro

showing them our political strength; and
especially are the Cnautauque abolitionists
called upon to act at this election on ac
count of that county being the residence of
one ot the candidates for Governor.
"Arrangements are now about made for
holding conventions in Niagara and Erie
counties. Many of the counties have been
for a year past holding monthly county
meetings. Genesee has been for some lime
holding weekly county meetings, expressly
for the purpose of effecting an election of
candidates who arc abolitionists. They
have the prospect of a complete vic

Congressman a full-blooded abolitionist.
Now will you call together your execu

for a convention? and let me know immedi

per says: Considerable sensation has been
excited in Madrid by a murder committed
by M. Rodriguez, the Deputy, on the per
son of his wife, a young and beautiful wo
man, to whom he was married about two
y:ars ago at Seville. M. Rodriguez, who
is extremely jealous, accompanied his Iadv
to a masked ball given by M. Vinadorcs.
His wife's brother Was amongst the guests
incognito, and wishing to cure his brother-in-law
of his failing, imprudently accos'.ed
him with an inquiry if he was st ill as jeal
ous os ever. "1 am at all events not jeabus
of you. beau masque" was the reply.
"There you are wrong," said the mask,
'Tor you have a very handsome wife, with
whose charms I am deeply smitten."
"So much the worse, for ycu," retorted
M. Rodriguez. "Dy no means," said the
brother, "for your wife returns my affec
tion, and, as a proof of it, 1 can inform you
that she has a violet mark under her right
bosom." At these words M. Rodriguez
siezed the stranger with the utmost vio
lence by the hand, exclaiming, "Your life
or mine! Meet me in a quarter of an-hour
at my house." He then tore his wife from
the quadiille which she was dancing, and,
without saying a word to her, hurried her
home. On reaching his hotel, he ascended
the staircase with his wife still on his arm,
dragged her into his cabinet without pro
curing a light; opened his secretary, and ta
king from it a loaded pistol, placed the
muzzle close to his wife's bosom, and shot
her through the heart. At the report, a
number of domestics, accompanied by the
ill fated lady's brother, who had been the
involuntary cause cf this frightful catastro
phe, rushed into the room with lights. On
witnessing the dreadful sight which met
his eyes, the brother tore off his mask and
proclaimed his near relationship to thevic
tim. The disclosure deprived the wretch
ed husband of his senses, he was hurried
from the spot in a state, of madness, which
the Madrid correspondent whom we quote
fears, but we might, perhaps, more chari
tably hope, he will not survive.
JA meeting was held on the 25th ult.
at Philadelphia, of citizens of the States of
Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey,
engaged in the culture of silk, at which the
Hon. James Naudain, of Delaware, presi
ded. After adopting measures for the for
mation of aNalional Silk Society, reference
was made to the suggestion of some South
ern gentleman in regard to a Convention
to be held in Baltimore on the 2Sth day of
present month, and Delegates were ap
pointed from the several States represent
ed, lo attend the same. Of the beneficial
consequences likely to arise from the pro
posed convention, there can we presume be
but one opinion. The opportunity which
it will furnish for inter-communication
between intelligent men from various parts
of the Union, and the interchange of opin
ions on matters of theory or practice, will
be the means of eliciting much valuable in
formation. The silk producing interest is
beginning to be a very important one, and
every method should be used by which its
advancement may be promoted. Ihe at
tendance on the occasion will of course be
large, and such measures will we presume,
be adopted, as will furnish a regular supply
of information on the important subject.
Baltimore Jtmer.
V? noble Scot." One of the oldest and
most wealthy citizens of New Orleans,
Alexander Milne, died there about ten
days ago. Mr. M. was a native of the
town of Fochambers, in Scotland, and
went to New Orleans about fifty years ago,
a perfect stranger, without a penny; but by
Hint nf industrv. energy, anu strici
intesr-
jrity, he succeeded in business, won the
friendship of his fellow men and laid th
foundations of tha I fnrino wliioh 1m
subsequently accumulated. Bv his will.
the whole of his- immense estate, afler.de
dueting legacies to the amount of about
SsJOO.OOO, is bequeathed to four asylums
for destitute orphan children, viz : the Or
phan Hoys' Asylum of Lafayette, the Poy
dias Asylum for girls, and two others, to
be hereafter incorporated by the Legisla
ture of Louisiana, and established at Milne
burgh. The property thus secured for the
education oi the destitute orphans ot JNcw
Orleans, is estimated at near a million of
dollars. Much of it is said to consist of
unimproved real estate, that will rise in
value; and in the course of time, no doubt
this ample provision will be doubled." To
his native town of Fochambers a fund of
15 100,000 was bequeathed for the establish
ment of free schools. A number of lega
cies were left to hjs relations, varying in
amount from 100 to SG, 000. A liberal
maintenance was allowed also to three do
mestics who had served faithfully, and ad
ministered to his comfort in his old age. A
New Orleans paper justly remarks that
many a child, rescued irom poverty and
ignorance, will rise up in after years, and
bless the name of Alexander Milne.
JWe find by a statement of the num
ber of deaths that occurred in Charleston
from the commencement to the termination
of the late epidemic, that the stranger's or
yellow fever has been more extensively fa
tal than wchad been led to suppose. The
first death which occurred by the fever was
in the week ending on ihe 8th August, and
from that time up to the 31st October, when
ihe epidemic disappeared, the whole
number of deaths by it was 352, of
which 345 were white and 7 were black
persons. During the same period which
is precisely three months there were2S4
deaths by other diseases, making the total
number of deaths by all diseases 63G, or,
at the average rate of about 212 deaths for
each of the three months, or a Weekly aver
age of 50. The greatest mortality during
any one week was in that ending the 19th
September, when there were 92 deaths, of
which 66 were by the fever.
Bait. Amer.
Gamblers. About four weeks since
the Grand Jury of Yalabusha county, Mis
sissippi, returned bills of indictmenlagainst
seventy gamblers. A letter from Coffee
ville, the seat of Government of the coun
ty, published in the Louisville Advertiser,
states that the desperadoes had assembled
in the vicinity of Grenada, armed with
shot guns, Bowie-knives, and pistols, and
declared their determination to stand to
their ground and resist the process of the
court, or welter in their blood. One or
two unsuccessful attempts had been made
to arrest them, but at the last advices the
sheriffcf the county was preparing to move
on tjiem with a force sufficient to overpower
them without bloodshed. .
fTpThc Grand Jury of Philadelphia
have presented the practice of betting on
elections as "an evil of terrific magnitude,"
and recommend the passage of a law, dis

therein as aiders or abettors, shall on con

a wagon at the Fair with a separate axle to
each wheel, so arranged as in a great mea
sure to take off the shocks communicated
to the vehicle in roitgh roads. The con
struction is very simple, each separate axle
being bent into the form of a crank, and the
lower horizontal part allowed to roll in the
irons which confine it under the carriage,
whenever the wheel encounters any Une
venness in the read. One of similar con
struction Was used in this city last summer,
and met with the approbation of practical as
well as scientific men. Axles of this kind
are in use on the immense wagon which is
now transporting the Giraffe through the
western states, and several gentlemen have
ordered them for their own use iri this city.
Mr. Brovver, proprietor of the Broadway
omnibus line, has a neat carriage nearly
completed, which is intended to run
through Eighth street, and has this kind of
axles.
If on thorough trial this invention should
be found worthy of general adoption, soma
important points in the construction of car
riages will be thereby gained. Tbe posi
tion of the body may be lower than.it is
with the common axlet.ree, and it is there
fore more safe and convenient : all parts of
the carriage are less liable to jolting and jar
ring, and consequently the whole is more
durable; and it is not the least part of the
advantages derived from this construction
that it affords considerable relief to the
horse as well as lo the passenger. It is the
invention of Mr. George Barnard who. has
taken a patent for it. The carriages; arci
built bv him at Newark. N. J.
