Dr. Obligado had tendered his resignation on account of the difficulty of form- | ode ministry; but this. difficulty having been hap- pily surmounted, the House of Representatives on the 23d unanimously sanctioned the withdrawal of his resignation, and cited the Governor elect to ap- pear on the next day, take the oaths, and enter on ‘is high office. Dr. G2mboa was then elected Presi- dent of the House, by 30 out of 32 votes. On the 24th, says the Packet, Dr. Obligado was sworn in with the customary solemnities. The gal- leries and corridors of the house were crowded to suf- focation, and when his Excellency announced the pro- | gramme of his policy, the enthusiasm of the audience ‘was excited to the highest pitch, and the cheers and approbation were prolonged and rapturous.

As to manufactured goods, the stocks on hand are unquestionably very heavy; and yet many articles are required to make up good assortments.

In articles of daily Pog Sena though prices have not yet reached their old level, they show a de- cided tendency in that direction; and in general we believe there is no absolute scarcity to justify an op- ite course. The first cargoes from France and he Mediterranean may safely calculate on a favora- ble market; but any speculation on a scarcity, and exorbitant prices, would be unwarranted.

One of the cool blooded murders, |, which has occurred in this State for s was committed between 8 and 9 o'clock in the quiet town of Sherburne, about a mile anda half the village of South Fra- mingham. Tbe particulars of the horrid affair, as we them, are as follows:— About 8 o'clock last evening, one John Chapman. aged about 21 years, called af the house of an old man named Reuben Cozgens, in Sherburne, and foand DO one up sxcopting Mrs. Cozzens, her husband and their hired man, an Irishman, having retired for the night. Chapman stated to Mra. Cozzens, as the rea- of a wagon and seriously injured, in Framingham, and was very anxious to see bis father. Mrs. Cozzens immediately called ber husband and told him the story, whereupon the old gentleman arose, and dres- sing himself as speedily as possible, took a measure of gon and a halter, and started for his pasture to catch his horse, ey to proceeding to Fra- mingham. Mr. Cogzens had proceeded but a few rods from his house when Chapman, who had armed himself with an axe, struck the old man a heavy blow on the head. cleaving his skull, and of course killing him patente. The murderer next reentered the house, and struck Mrs. Cozzens a heavy blow on the head, in- flicting a dreadful wound, which will probably peas fatal, and which knocked her senseless to the oor. Chapman, then, not satisfied with the human blood he bad already spilt, rushed to the room occu- pe by the Irishman, who, at the moment, sprang om his bed, and seeing the axe raised above his head, instantly seized the weapon, and both he and Chapman fell upon the floor in a severe struggle. The Irishman succeeded in wrenching the axe from Chapman, who instantly seized an earthen vessel blows on the Irishman’s head and face, bruising his face very ceverely. The Irishman findiag that his life was in danger, and not knowing what had be- fallen Mr. and Mrs. Cozzens, begged for his life, and after coneiderable parley the two separated, and Chapman fled. The Irishman soon left his room and found Mrs. Cozzens senseless on the floor, He theu weat in search of Mr. Cozzens, and after he was passing through the yard stumbled and fell over his prostrate and dead body. In this state of things, and being preay exhausted from the loss of blood and the ard Poel aie with Chapman, he started for tha house of the nearest neighbor, Mrs. Paul, about a Mrs. Cozzens was feund to be living, and restora. john Chapman, the murderer, is nearly twenty- captured.

Perhaps, if patriotic ardor had kept. pace in the brain of Mr Cushing with the ardor occa- sioned by the champagne of the dinner, it might have been more candid for the Union to say, with reference to the Attorney Generai’s speech, what @ drunken man lounging in & corner of the streets of Mexico said to a certain viceroy, to whom he offered twenty dollars for the maguifisent horse he was riding. Having besn sabse- quently summoned to the palace, and arked by the vic+ cy if he would sustain his offer, he replied, “I was ouce the perron who raid #0.” Indeed, apy cne might say that the wine whish D- Ricardo offers to extract from his Florids plantations 'd already circulated in the Newark banquet, and that kir.
