Murder.?The feelings of our community,
(says the Fayette?ill Journal,)
have agian been outraged by the perpetration
of a deed of blood. A man by
the name of Madison Allen-was mortally
wounded in this place on-Friday night1
last. The wound was inflicted by a knife,
and terminated fatally in twenty
minutes after its infliction. A young man ,
by the name of William Anderson was j
arrested and charged with the commission '
of the deed* and has been finally committed
for trial at the next term of our Su- j
prenae Court.
Clerical Wit.?Alterbnry, opposing
a bill in the House of Peers, said thai
"he prophesied, last winter, that this bill
would be attempted in the present sessions,
and he was very sorry to find that
he had proved a true prophet." Lord |
Coningsby, who always spoke in a pas-1
sion, remarked, that "one of the right I
reverends had set himself forth as a pro-'
phet; but for his part, he did not know '
what prophet to liken him to, unless to 1
that furious prophet, Balaam, who was i
reproved by his own ass." The Bishop,!
in a reply, with great wit and calmness,
exposed this rude attack, concluding that,
"Since the noble Lord hath discovered
in onr manners such a Similitude, I am <
well,.content to be compared to the pro-j
phet Balaam; but my lords, 1 am at a loss
how to make out the other part of the !
parallel. I am sure that 1 have been reproved
by nobody, but his lordship.

-Matrimony.?Matrimony is like ma-j

Married on the 5th of October, by
Daniel Wilson, Esq. Mr Timothy Green,
to Mrs. Julia Jacob's, all of Whitewater
township, Franklin county.
From the justice who officiated at the
above wedding we learn the following
rather extraordinary particulars. The
above named Mr Green is about thirty
years old, and Mrs. Julia Jacobs is his
second wife. But what is more, and almost
incredible, Mis Julia Jacobs is about
50 years old, and Mr. Green ik her 8th
husband all of whorri are living, except
one! We wish some friend, in Whitewater
township, would furnish us, and the
world, a history of the above named

benefit to some other unlucky dame who
tored of her yoke-fellow.

Hands off?Our friend of the Newbern

with the Milton Spectator, and intimates
that it is a violation of the proceedings of

for the scurility of the Spectator,

. A gross outruge against pulic dearrency
was perpetrated at the City of Washington.
on the arrival of the news of the
federal triumph in New York. A large
party, about midnight, set up a riot opposite
the Post Master General's dwelling,
i with drums, 'firepokcrs, rattles, tin-pans,
\ catcalls, horns, tongs, shovels, and other
similar instruments, uttering groans, and
| giving other significations of mockery and
insult. Beaides this, a swivel', which was
carried on wheels, was fired three times.
The dwellings of Mr. Woodbury and Mr.
E. P. Blair, were also disturbed in the
same manner; after which the party went
to the house of Mr. Forsyth, a mile and a
half, {says the Globe) from the place they
commenced their career, to break his
windows with a cannonade. It was with
difficulty that the Mayor could prevail
upon these midnight ruffians to refrain
from snbjecting the President himself to
' the same sort of insult ard outrage.
. These outrages indicate the approach
of the "reign of terror.1" It is in the
| "blue light," and "black cockade" federal
spirit, and wants nothing but the power,
to trample the democracy of the Union in
the dust. We have seen but little in the
whiir press in relution to this enihroy assassination?this
incipient murder. One
attempts to excuse it, and another condemns
it, chiefly on account of the injury
it may inflict on the fedennl party, and

A WINTER MORNING ODE. i
Respecfully inscribed to the author of the "Rights
of Woman."
When breakfkst belle peal out at seven.
And sleepy Clerks from bed are driven,
To re>commenee their cares,?
When chamber maids in slipshod bustle,
Their mops and brooms begin to rustle, On
all the painted stairs,?
How sweet to lock your chamber door.
And snug in blankets calmly snore,
On a cold winter's morning.
You hear a female voice, perhaps,?
. And sundry inauspicious raps
Breaks in upon your dreams,?
That rises high, and shriller 'grows,
Those cdmes to horrid kicks and blows,
"Like mad" the woman scorns!
But oh! Kow safely you are Uld,
Your drooping eye no'or lifts its lid.
Nor heeds the lady's warning.
Visions of smoking hot beefs takes,
And reeking piles of kuckwhoat cakes,
May tempt you ofl to rise,?
And so you gently lift the clothes,?
The air pope in and wrings your nose,
And off the tempter flies,?
For breakfast you hftd rather loose,
Than ono more fine refreshing snooze,
Wkil Sol the earth is warming.
And then, there's little Jane, below,
Who on the pantry shelf will stow
A plate of something nice,
A herring broiled?some buttered toast?
Of venison saved from last night's roast,
A most delicious slice,?
Oh! then sleep on, and bravely brook
The angry tongue of Mrs. Cook,
yvna .viaUame Wlowhard's storming!

For tho few pounds of Rice,

of ihedeaih of a very worthy young
j gentleman, Mr. Paul1 Allison, employed as '
Engineer, of the locomotive Washington.
It appears that the Washington started
i from Hamburg on Saturday afternoon
last, with a train of freight cars, and got
as far as florae Creek, about four miles
i from Hamburg, when, in consequence of
some derangement having "been caused in
the rails, in embanking the road, tlie Locomotive
was thrown off. JVlr. Allison
unfortunately fell under her, and was
, instantly killed. One of the firemen was
also somewhat injured, but his wounds
are not at all dangerous. It is not know
whether the Engine sustained any material

We briefly noticed in our last another
serious accident which occurred on Sunday

to stale the following particulars.?
The train was on jts way down to Portsmouth
with three passenger cars, in which
were 25 or 30 persons, and 9 lumber
cars laden with cotton. It had passed
the Rochelle depot about ft ftriie and a
half, when a whell of the Engine struck
against the end of one of the iron rails,
which being loose*, bad sprung up to an
elevation of ten or twelve inches.?The
engine was instantly thrown from the
track, the water tenrffcr upset, and the
I ihree passenger cars, successively precipi1
tated with ?<iln/?iiw ? ?"? *
. vlwuoj upon it, were
crushed to pieces in one common mass of
mins! while the passengers were either;
thrown with violence from them, or mangled
with their fragments in the dreadful
crash. The scene as discribed to us was
distressing in the extreme. The few who
were Unhurt immediately set about extriting
their unfortunate companions from
the pile of broken' cars, in which work of
l mercy they were engaged for nearly an
hour before the last victim t?as rescued?

Col. Preston and his lady, was lifted aloft
by the third and thrown forward, by i
which singular movement^ its inmates
were preserved from any other injury |
than a few slight contusions, while those .
in the first and third cars only sufifeired. |
For the information of their friends,
'we add, that among those who escaped
unhurt, besides Col. Preston* and lady,
were Col. Downing, MrDunham,of Florida,

his seat on ihe engine, by the "side of the

he remarked the inequality in "the road;

it was too late to avert the catastrophe,

The youg Queen of England is the {
"observed of all observers." It is said
that a very extraordinary and romantic j
affair has been discovered in relation .tp
her, which greatly scandalises the old
sticklers 'for etiquette, but excites the
warmest enthusiasm of all the young and
ardent spirits of Europe.
During the reign of "her predecessor,
William IV,. it was discovered that the
then lovely princess, had'formed a very
strong attachment to a young nohlaman,
a branch of an old Anglo-Norman family.
On this discovery a great sensation took
place in the court circle. The young no
median wus Kiiiiicuiait'iy appuimtsu 10 a
high situation in tho government of HiYi- I
doston. The sweet ) oung princess was I
inconsolable, but said to those who inter- ,
forea with her feelings, "I'll bide my'
time." 8he has done so. The first thing
she did after her accession to the throne, j
was to send out one of her ships of war, '
With imperative orders for the young no-/
bleman to return. At first the motive*of|
this caprice was not exactly known, it;
soon leaked out by meanfe of h confidante.
The vessel with the Queen's favorite , is
now on her return to Europe, and the
secret court circles in England are thrown
into the highest state of excitement and
consternation at the imperious violation
of the young Queen. By law, she is prohibited
from marrying a sucject, even of
the highest rank, but the youthful sovereign
soys that her heroic predecessor,
Elizabeth, is her pattern, and if the law
prohibits her from enjoying the same
liberty which is allowed to every Subject, |
