Doable Murder fa Alabama.
Information has reached Louisville f
the murder, a few nights ago, near
Brighton, North Alabama, of Granville
A. Pillow and William Pillow, nephews
f General Pillow, by a band of masked
men, who rode up to the door and called
for Granville and ehot him when he ap
pe&ed. William ran to his brother's
afltistance and was killed also. The
murderers escaped, there being no clae
by which to track them.
Bpceck f John Bright.
John Bright, at Bifaiincham, Eng.,
January 12th, addressed a public meet
ing at length. He reviewed the action
of Parliament and predicted that the fa
tnre course of the administration would
command the confidence of the people.
8pcaking of the Irish Church bill, he
said the only difficulty in passing it oc
curred in the -House of Lords, a place of
the greatest antiquity and of the greatest
influence. There was more passion dis
played than ia generally seen there,
bringing the occupants ef the benches to
the verge of an ugly precipice. Passion,
however, cooled, and after mutual con
gratulations the bill passed the Lord.-",
thus admitting that no institution, how
ever'ancient, grand or historical, is aafe

Rochefort' a paper, the Marseilles,
publishes a card from if. De Fewrille
stating the facts of the killing of Victor
Noir by Prince Bonaparte, in which the
killine is made to appear as a deliberate
murder. Upon presenting the letter o:
M. Itoschalle Gourzete. the Prince
Asked: "Are you the representatives o
these wretches ?" Victor Noir replied
."We are the representatives of our
friend" whereupon the Prince etoppe
Noir with his left hand, and at the same
time drew a revolver from his pocket
already cocked, and fired, killing Noir.
He then fired upon De Fowrille, who
then drew a small pistol, upon which Wie
Prince tcok refuge behind an open door
from whence he again took aim at De
Fowrille, who rushed out crying "Mur
der," the Prince firing at him as he ran
into the street. He found Noir, who
had strength to descend the stair?, and
there died.
EICITEMEST 1ST AKIH.
A Paris dispatch of January 13th says
tho city is still greatly excited. During
the night disturbances continued, but
there were no serious conflict?. Severa
policemen were wounded by stones thrown
and one was dangerously stabbed. While
attempting to quell a disturbance a ma
gistrate was struck on the head with
stone and knocked down. Many other
outrages were committed. Troops have
not appeared in force. The crowd in the
Champ Elyzes was 'dispersed last night,
but extensive preparations have been
made to guard arainst any repetition of
the disorders. There are now in Paris
over a hundred thousand soldiers, includ
ing detachments of cavalry recently arri
ved from garrisons, and several batteries
of artillery from Vincennes. The police
force has also been larzely increased. It
is not supposed the people will dare to
make any further disturbance. The
Slarseillcs appears again as usual.
Rochefort says in a leading article, "the
demonstration of yesterday was a cry for
justice; to-morrow a cry may come for
vengeance."
'Hani tint en Como no 3f ore ! "
Tho financial editor of the New York
Tribune thinks there is no danger of im
mediate "hard times." This reckoning
is not without force. He says:
"A crisis in the general trade of the
country, rarely if ever occurs when every
body is looking for it. Such a general
unsettling ot trade as occurred in 1857
comes, almost always, at an unexpected
moment. The reason of this is obvious.
Each merchant in tuch a time as the
present, islooking forward to disaster,
and consequently, is shaping his own par
ticular buiness in such a way as to be
prepared for the crisis when it shall ar
rive. To be in this state of preparation
he buys sparingly only such goods as he
ees a ready sale for; carries a licht stock,
wholly or in great measure paid for, and
scrutinizes closely the record of those who
apply for credit. The result of such a
prudent course is. that the disaster which
otherwiss might have occurred is averted,
by the fact of the caution which has
been observed in every branch of the
business."
I .
Excellent Hint.
Make no vows of enmity while you
are smarting under a sense of neglect or
cruelty; pain speaks with little propriety.
Busybodits are almost always idlers.
The less business a man has the more he
meddles with that of his neignbor".
Make a note of this. Never suffer vour
courage to exert itself in fierceness, your
resolution in obstinacy, your wisdom in
cunning, nor your patience in sullenncss
and dipair. Whatever parent gives
his children good instruction, and sets
them at the same time bad examples,
may be considered as bringing them food
in one and poison in another.
Oil Paper Hanging:.
A kind of oil paper hanging called
"Oil Charta" is now made in England,
which, it is asserted, is impervious to
wet, may be placed on new or damp
wails without risk of damage or discol

water as often as required, and will last

The Marseillaise newspaper wad pnb
liebed in mourning on the 11th, and con
tained the fol'owing leading article
printed in large type :
"The murder committed by the Prince
Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte upon the
citizen Noir! The attempt to nnirder
made by the Prince Pierre Tvapoleon Bo
naparte upon the citizen Ulricb ! I have
had the weakness to believe that a Bo
naparte tould be other than an assas
sin. I have dared to imagine that a fair
duel was rosible in that family where
murder and waylaying are traditional and
habitual. Our co-laborer, Paschal
Groussirt, has shared my error and to
day we mourn our dear friend. Victor
Noir assassinated by the ruffian Pierre
Napoleon Bonaparte ! For eighteen
years past France has been in the blood
stained hands of thoss cut throats who,
not content with grape-? hotting Republi
cans in the streets, allure theji into
baited traps for the purpose of slaughter
ing them at home. People of France,"
have you not had decidedly enough of
this ? 'People Francais cstioque decide
ment tunetrouvez pasquenvoz assez 1 !'
(Signed.) Henri Rochefort."
The Marseillaise was very violent again
on the morning of the 11th, and the en
tire issue was seized by the authorities.

A 9(orlan llukhwbnckrr nmg.
Information has been received that,
some days ago, outraged justice was ap
peased by the naniring ot mil Ulnius, a
notorious bushwhacker durin? the war.
He was hung in a bam on the firm of
his mother, in Lafayette county, Mo., by
a party et citizens who knew their man
and appreciated his fame. Child's wife
or the woman who was his wife lives
in the southern part of this county, and
it was from a communication made to her
that the information of his death was
derived. Sometime about the close of
the war, Mrs. Childs married another
man, (name unknown) and after Bill
turned up, we arc informed, proceedings
were commenced against her lor bigamy;
but it was shown that she had good rea
son to believe Childs was dead, and the
suit was stopped. She never took to
Childs any more, however ; and the pre
sumption is fair that hU death is a "good
riddance, as so desperate a man niijrut
justly be a terror to a woman who had
deserted him. Childs was known in this
and adjoining counties as a desperate
outlaw, and will be remembered by the
militia of this county, some of whom had
irequent chases after hna.

The following extract Is made from ad
vance sheets of Rev. Geo. Alexan
der' Look on Nebraska.
The lands of Nebraska available to
immigration may be classified as f dlows:
1st. Lands (ie.) lands yet undisposed
ef by the general government.
2d". State Lacds (ie. ) lands belonging
to the State, granted for various purpo
ses by Congressional authority.
3d. Raiload Lands (ie.) lands in
cluded in railroad grant?.
4th. Lauds on sale (ie.) lands brought
from government and held for sale by the
original purchasers or parties to whom
they have been legally transferred chiefly
non-resideuts or speculators.
5th. Improved farms ownod mostly
by citizens of the State.
The U. S. Lands may be classified in
three kinds, as follows :
1st. Those subject to entry and pur
chase either with bounty warrants, col
lege ccrip or cash. These are mostly
situated m the Southwestern Lsnd Dis
trict, along the valleys of the Blue and
Republican and for richness and fertility
of soil, beauty ()f scenery an4 prospective
value no superior on the continent. For
$1 25 per acre a man can here locate as
much as he chooses, every acre of which
is worth from 3 to 6 dollars as soon as the
title is made to the purchaser.
2d. Those lands subject to pre-emption.
These are scattered in every part
of the State. Pre-emption diners from
entry in this that none but actual occu
pants are allowed the privilege. After
one year of actual residence on the eUiui
by the payment of the Government price,
$1 25 or $2 50 per acre, according to lo
cation, a patent is issued as in case ef
purchase, the simple object being not to
donate the land but to sell it only to
those who contemplate its improvement
and become bona tide residents thereon.
Thin cuts off speculators who would,
otherwise, buy up whole townships and
thus prevent for years the proper settle
ment and developement thereof.
3d. Lands subject to homestead.
These also are scattered over the State
save the settled counties alonj the Mis
souri river, and whether the immigrant
file his claim in the valley of the Platte
the Elkhorn, the Blues or the Republi
can he cannot go aiuis. Everywhere he
will fand awaiting him lands ot untold
fertility and beauty. These can be had
without money or price, save land office
fee of $18. 80 acres within 20 miles of
a Rail Road and 1G0 acres beyond this
limit.
From reports of the several Land
unices or the estate torwarded at my
request the following extract is made
Mr. S. M. McConuiga Register of the
.Lincoln Jjfinii District, (1 ost ernce Ijin
coin) writes that there are no lands in his
district subject to private entry; but 1,-
lzdjUOO teres -et remain open to pre
emption and homesteads.
This district includes the tier of conn
ties immediately south of the Platte river
and as iar west as Kearney 180 mile,
running through the centre of the State
and embracing some of the finest sections
ot the whole country the most ot the
lands yet open to occupancy lving west
ward from the capitol and directly in the
traek or several important railroad..
Mr. Henry M. Atkinson Register of
the Beatrice Land Oihce, (Post Oifice.
Beatrice) writes that his district embra
ces 6 townships north from the Kansas
line and extending the whole length of
the State, in which 7.000,000 acres of
the public lands were j'et vacant, 6,400,
000 subject to pre-emption and home
stead aud GOO.OOO to private entry with
warrants, scrip or cash.
He adds: "The major part of these
lands are cf good quality of prairie..
There is an abundance of water and con
siderable timber. The Republican ami
the Little Blue rivers run parallel with
each other through nearly the entire
length ot this area, in the valley of
which and on their tributaries are some
of the finest lands in the State."
Mr. E. W. Arnold, Register of the
Grand Island Land Oilice, (Post Office,
Grand Island) writes that no lands in his
district are subject to entry The Pacific
railroad running through it but 2,0M).
000 acres yet remain subject to the home
stead and pre-emption laws.
From the Land offices at West Point
and Datotah 1 have no report, and cannot
therefore state the amount of public-lands
in those sections of the state; but from
the reports collated from ihe three dis
tricts mentioned it appears that over 10.-
000,000 aorcu of the finest lauds of the
world are to-day thrown open to settle
ment and occupancy upon the very liber
al terms oftlie pre-emption and home
stead acts of Congress.
Nebra.-ka doubtless presents tho last
chance to the homeless an J landless of
the world to secure for themselves and
paternity, free homes on our public do
main. To the we.-.t, the country is rug
ged and mountainous, and unfit for culti
vation ; east of us it is already occupied.
iiere there still remains an ot.nortunitv
but this also will soon be cone. Te
years more and not one acre will remain
untaien. 1 he flood of immigration con
tantly pourinj' into this State will absorb
these lands like dew in the morning sun.

free for tlu purest and the humblest of
a homeless wond. It is on v como and

THE STATE LANDS.
A total of 3,381,000 acres orisina'dv
granted lor public necessities, common
schools and internal improvements, are
from time to time thrown upon the
market, usually in the month of June
of each year. In June next 40.0(H)
acres will be ottered at L,mco!n to the
highest bidder. The lands devoted to
schcols are sold at auction in June of
each year at the various county seats.

per annum lor ten years, when the re
mainiug nine-tenths of the principal be
comes due. This affords the settler an
opportunity to purchase lands in the more
thickly willed places upon lontr pay
ments, giving time to make his improve
ments and pay for his purchase out of
the proceeds ot his crops etc. 1 regard
this system of sales as affordinr the finest
facilities to those immigrants with small
means, w ho cannot make up their minds
to a border life upon a homestead.
TIIE RAIL ROAD LANDS
Are in the hands of those companies who
have received them a. grants'or subsidies
from Congress to aid in trie construction
of their roads. The Uni n Paeifie have
already, with commendable zeal, placed
the lands in their possession in the mar
ket at reasonable prices, varying from 2
to 20 dollars per acre and on ea?v terms
of payment. Any information concern
ing these lands wiJl be cheerfully given
upon applieaikFii to O. F. Davis, U. P.

toed boots to a goose-quill toothpick, for the pal
try sum of nine dollars and sixty-two and one
half cents, thc22 cents being the profits on the
goods: If you want anything in the
miscellaneous line, call on them, and if you don't
see wnai you want ass; lor it. I would remark
here that they are generous, liberal, good look
ing and truthful to a fault."
