ANOTHER MURDER IN BLAIR COUNTY.—Tho
quiet and peaceable town of Williamsburg,
in Blair county, was made the steno of a bru
tal murder on Saturday night last Two
young men, Hawker and Davis, got into a
difficulty, which resulted in the former stab
bing the latter through the heart, causing in
stant death. Hawkeris a marble carver, from
Philadelphia, and it is said, belonged to the
famous " Killers." He made his escape and
is still at large.
rOgr-Mr. Owns, the new Superintendent of
Common Schools for this county, paid us a
visit a few days since. He was on his way
visiting the several School districts of the
county, and appears to be much interested in
the cause of education. We wish' him abun
dant Success in his new calling.--Shirleys
bwrg Herald.
: And so do we wish him abundant success
in his new calling. In answer to inquiries
made by us we learn that he is being emi
nently successful in the discharge of his du
ties as County Superintendent of Common
Schools—in breaking down what little preju
dice there exists against the office, by an able
discharge of its duties, which cannot but make
it appreciated—and in inaugurating a new
era in common school teaching, the actual
design of the office. And we predict that his
future able and energetic labors, though
quietly and unostentatiously performed, will
win for him and the office which he adorns,
the unqualified approbation of every friend
of common school education in our county.
The beautiful shady retreats which the
woods and groves all around us afford are be
ing resorted to daily by our citizens and stran
gers iii qtieSt of the cool, bracing air, the
scenery, pleasure, etc. We have noticed, as
they occurred, the pie nits of the several pub
lic schools under the direction of their teach
ers. On last Thursday the children belong
ingto the Catholic Sunday School had an ex
ceedingly pleasant pie nie at the Cottage
Grove. The children, who were principally
under the Superintendency of -Miss M. A.
WALLACE, enjoyed them Selves hugely in the
way of playing, singing, swinging and feast
ing. In the evening they were treated to
some excellent music on the Guitar by Mrs.
lip vfc.ix, after which they returned in pro
per order to their homes, appreciatingas well
as youth can, the kindness and -generosity of
their teachers and parents.
On the following day 801110 of our young
ladies and gents got up a pie nie for some
visitors, which came off somewhere in the
neighborhood of town. Report says it came
up to the idea of a pie nic and was a merry
affair. We saw then returning, and sup
posed the young gents were intoxicated with
pleasure—they were tastefully decorated with
the wrong tiles—kind of metamorphosed into
queens. Long last the season of pie nic
sights !

EDITOR OF THE GLOBE compliance with
your suggestion I have made a little note of
the grain crops and other affairs in-different
townships through which I passed.
In Shirley township the wheat looks well,
and may be considered an average crop in
all parts of the township, while in certain
sections it presents a fine appearance. Rye
and oats look rather favorable. Clover is a
little short but a pretty fair yield can be de
pended upon.. Timothy is better than usual.
The Corn, as in most parts of the county is
backward, and as in many other places the
farmers planted a second and , a third time.—
Mr. &Mel Douglass, an enterprising farmer,
was planting on the 12th June, and he assu
red me that he had planted the same field on
the 25th, in "a former year, and that his corn
ripened. This gentleman is building a very
fine barn. Numerous other citizens through
out the township, - and the P. R. Road Coin
pally at Mt. Union are improving by way of
building, showing - that Shirley township pos
sesses the elements . of active industry. Ap
ples are - plenty, but other fruits have failed.
From . Art. Union we have a daily coach to
Orbisonia, and 'a tri-weekly mail-coach
~to
Chambersburg. The coaches are neat 'and
,convenient. J. Jamison, of Shade Gap, ,is
the mail contractor, and shows' an accommo
dating spirit to passengers and guests. Eight
Miles from Mt. Union and twenty miles south
of Huntingdon, the pleasant village" of Shin
leysburg shows, a spirit of industry and im
provement. _ The streets arc clean and to
some extent adorned with shade trees. This
village is a corporation and it contains a Fe
male Seminary and an Academy for boys.—
I both schools and think them under
the care of cerapetent . instructors. Mr. Kid
der, 'the Principal of the Seminary, has a:
high reputation as a scholar and teacher.
Germany Valle Y—poetically, the Vale of
O ermany—is a rare part of Ihmtingdon coun
ty. The' sell is of a good limestone quality.
and in a high state of cultivation. The crops
of all kinds Ire excellent, the farmers thrifty
and contented.
CionwELL.—ln this township we find a
great variety or soil—clay, slate, limestone
gravel, and a fine quality of limestone. In
Black Log Valley, and near the residence of
Mr. Walter Galbraith, I observe projecting
dips of limestone of the best quality, and in
ferior to none that I have observed between
Pleasant Valley in Blair county and Lancas
ter. What it is doing there Ido not know ;
it appears to be an exception to any Geologi
cal rules within my observation. The crops
appear as variable as the soil. In general
they are good. There is some complaint of
the fly in the wheat. Clover and timothy are
good. The fruit is favorable except" the
peaches.
In my next I will give you a note of Tell
and Dublin. Yours,
NORTEL HENDERSON, MERCER COUNTY, ILLINOIS, }
JUNE 14, 1856.
DEAR LEWIS :-I promised to write you
from the Prairie land, on my arrival, and de
sire one or two stripes for not doing so for a
week afterwards. Still there is some allow
ance to he made for one who had never seen
the great Valley before. First impressions
of so new and vast a country as this are not
always to be relied on, and I wanted time for
more observation and a little familiarity with
scenes so different to those with which I have
been accustomed from childhood. Ido not
know that the appearance of this country took
me at all by surprise. Geography and fancy
had made a pretty correct impression on my
mind as to its mere physical face. But in
the quality of its soil ; its unrivaled capacity
for vast agricultural returns to the cultivator,
and the activity and enterprise of its popula
tion did astonish me. This State, in all that
-belongs to scientific farming, and the use of
every invention calculated to reduce and save
manual labor, is fifty years ahead of the cast.
This is partly owing to the adoption. of the
country to the use of machinery, and partly
to a, necessity, arising from the high price of
labor. The people, too, live comfortably, in
convenient houses generally, and all bounti
fully supplied, not only with the necessaries,
but the luxuries of life.
In regard to the crops, I have seen•nothing
like it in my life. From the time we left the
low marshes around the brow of Lake Mich
igan, through the whole length of the State
to the Mississippi, where I was yesterday, I
have not seen a single spotted or inferior field
of wheat. No furrow vacancies, nor thin un
even blotches, mar the level and waving sur
face that covers these sea-like prairies. Great
quantities of wheat are sown this spring, and
from present appearances, notwithstanding
the weather here has been exceedingly dry
for some time, the yield will be most abun
dant. I was much gratified at this, for on
our passage through North-western Ohio,-
observed as I thought, sad- indications of a
plentiful harvest. Some fields, indeed, look
ed well, but by far the greater number were
anything else than promising.
The towns here arc different from our East
ern towns, and deem to be' laid out without
any regard to the economy of land, but they
look fresh, thriving, and throw the advertise
ment of the enterprise upon the winds. Mon
mouth, the seat of justice of Warren county,
in which I now.am with my friends, (being
just over the line of Mercer,) is a very thriv
ing village, and in a few years has grown up
from a few scattered families to a city of some
.2500 or 3000 population, Galesburg, some
18 miles up the Burlington and Chicago rail
road is a beautiful place, containing two col
leges, one female seminary, besides other in,
stitutions of learning, and about 5000 p'opu,
lation. It is situated in a beautiful prairie,
its streets, (as is the case with all western
towns) spacious, and .lined with beautiful
trees ; the roads leading into it, also likewise
decorated, dotted here and thdre with some
building of architectural taste and beauty,
whilst the town itself, like a second Jalapa,
seems as if it had really fallen from heaven,
and lies like the picture of .Paradipe in a frame
of diamonds.
Bat for dirt, business, noise, grandeur and
insanity, commend me to Chicago. It is all
dirt in the streets, it is all business over the
dirt, all-noise in the midst of business, and
this never ceases ; grandeur, in the immense
size and capacity of its warehouses and many
of its business buildings lately put up, and in
the ocean-like Lake, that heaves her broad
bosom up against her wharves, with her state
ly ships and steamboats, that ride upolt it;
and insanity in the race after wealth, stretch
ing beyond-ordinary euterprize, with an in
sanity after the single idea. Chicago is in
deed favored. Everything combines to make
her a great city—the city of -the Lakes, the
greatest city in America off the two oceans.
Yours,
Mn. EDITOR :—lt has become almost pro
verbial that the people of the present age—in
this part of the world, arc better acquainted
with foreign , 4 emery, than they are with that
of our ONVII country, which is so much admi
red by straligers. Permit one who has from
childhood, perused with pleasure, the columns
of your instructive paper, to give to your nu ,
merous readers a short sketch of a rural val
ley in which so many of their sons and broth
ers are pursuing their studies, under peculiar
advantages. The lovely Valley of Tuscarora
is pleasantly situated between the Tuscarora
and Shade mountains; the former—being one
of a continuous chain extending from the Ju
niata river to the Potomac—forms the boun
dary between the counties of Juniata and
Perry. For `wild and picturesque scenery,
this mountain is surpassed by few, in the
Keystone State. On the public thoroughfare,
leading from Mifflintown to Waterford, the
traveller frequently passes farms and farm
houses which at once convey to the mind the
impression that their occupants " live at
home." The Valley is about six miles in
width. The soil being heavy limestone, is
productive, and in good state of cultivation.
The Agriculturists in this vicinity evidently
show more taste, in laying out their fields, and
constructing their buildings than those of
many parts of the State.
Eight miles from Mifflin, emerging from a
narrow strip of woods, we come suddenly in
sight of Tuscarora Academy. This popular
institution, founded in 1830, is at present un
der the control of J. IL SHUMAKER, A. M.,
an erudite scholar and christian gentleman ;
as well as a faithful, thorough, and experien
ced instructor of youth. On a steep declivity,
a short distance from the Academy, the Pres
byterian portion of the community, have
erected a handsome brick Church, in which
Rev. a W. THOMPSON, one of the most popu
lar and successful ministers of the Hunting
don Presbytery, officiates as Pastor. A walk
of ten minutes brings us to Tuscarora Female
Seminary. This institution was founded in
1854 by Rev. WM. GARTHWAIT, of New Jer
sey. The building is large and convenient;
commanding an extensive prospect of the
surrounding country. The grounds are be
ing laid out and beautified with ornamental
trees. Both these institutions are enjoying
a liberal share of patronage from the sister
States, and bid fair to rank among the best
institutions of the kind in the country. Na
ture has lavished upon this lovely Valley
more than an ordinary share of attractions.
At the distance of a mile from the Academy,
there is a conical hill, at the base of which
there is an object worthy of note, known as
the " Indian Mound," There lie mouldering
in the dust, the bones of many of the once
powerful tribe of Tuscaroras. They have
gathered around the council fire and sung
their war song for the last time, and many
" moons ago " they have departed to the
"'happy hunting grounds of their fathers."
Thd wild deer has fled from the mountain,
sides; the dense forests have disappeared be
fore the woodman's axe; but the same silVery
stream glides merrily along, as it did when
the children of the forest tossed its crystal
spray from the oars of their light canoes.
Lot Etna, raging, sweep her crusted side,
Or Blanc, stand highest, of tho Alpine chain;
Let Tiber shake his mane, in lofty pride,
Or Ganges, sweep his banks, with purple tide:
,Dearer to me than all, shall still remain,
Streams and mountains of my country.

Governor Shannon's Proclamation.
Below we give Governor Shannon's proclamation, pre
viously spoken of in our telegraphic despatches. The firm,
temperate, and impartial 'stand taken by the Governor,
coupled with the judicious and energetic course pursued
by Colonel Sumner, will, we sincerely trust, soon relieve
the Territory from the state of anarchy and excitement
into which it has been plunged by the wicked counsels
and mad appeals of fanatics and demagogues:
Whereas information has been received by us that armed
bodies of men exist in different parts of this Territory,
who have committed, and threaten to commit, acts of law
less violence on peaceable and unoffending citizens—ta
king them prisoners, despoiling them of their property,
and threatening great personal violence;
It appearing,. also, that armed combinations have been
formed for the express purpose of resisting the execution
of the territorial laws and preventing the execution of
and process by the officers of this territory:
It, appearing further that individuals, as well as associa
ted bodies of men, have assumed to themselves the power
of notifying citizens of'the Territory to leave their abodes,
and in some instances tq quit the .country, under threats
of inflicting severe penal ties on those who do not comply:
Now, therefore; I, - Wilson Shannon, governor of the
Territory of Kansas, do issue this my proclamation, to
command all persons belonging to military organizations
within this Territqry, not authorized by the laws thereof,
to disperse and. retire to their respective abodes, and to
warn all such persons that these military organizations
for such purposes are illegal, and, if necessary, will be dig ;
persed by the military force placed by the President of the
United States at my disposal for the purpose of preserving
the peace and enforcing the laws of the Territory; that
steps have been Mlren to disperse all unlawful military or
ganizations which are threatening the peace of the coun
try and the good order of society, and to disarm them
should they reassemble.
All civil officers of the government are required to be
vigilant in enforcing - the laws against such of:tenders, and
in protecting the citizens both in their persons and prop
erty against all violence and wrong.
I further declare that all notice:: given to citizens or
persons found in the Territory to leave the same, or their
house, or any particular locality, are un-authorized by law
and highly reprehensible, at tending to breaches of the
peace and violence and disorder. . .
further declare that all law-abiding citizens of the Ter
ritory without regard to party, names, or distinctions,
must be protected in their persons and property, and that
all military organizations to resist the execution of the
laws of the Teiritory, or to disturb the peace thereof. must
be dispersed; and all aggreasive parties from without
the Territory must be repelled. That the military force
placed under the control of the executive of this Territory
is amply sufficient to enforce the laws and to protect the
citizens in their rights.
further declare that in carrying out this proclaznation,
no distinction dr inquiry is to be made as to party, but all
persons of all parties are to be treated alike under like cir
cumstances.
'•Obedience to the laws, and consequent security of the
citizens-of. Kansa, are 'Amery objects; and all lawless
.'ioienee within the Territory, in whatever form it ,may
manifest itself, must be repressed," and the proclamation
of the United .•.Mates of the 11th February last will be
strictly enforced: and a requisition has been made on Col.
Sumner for a sufficient military force to insure obedience
to the proclamation. I call oil all good citizens to aid and
assist in preserving peace, rept...ls-dug violence, and in
bringing offenders tojustice, and in maintaining the su
premacy of the law.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and
[L. s.] caused the seal of tiro Territory to Le affixed this
fourth day of June, MU.

leading into Kansas, under blockade, and has driven out
Maj. Buford, Gen. Jonc3 and Col. Shelby, all of them head

WILSON SUANNON
From the Detroit Free Press, June 20
A Tragical Odcurrence—Strang, the
Mormon Leader, Shot.
The U. S. steamer Michigan, Captain
Charles McNair, arrived at this port, 3,e6ter
day, from the Lakes. While lying at St.
J allies, Beaver Islands, en the afternoon of
the 10th inst., a tragical event occurred on
shore, which will probably result in the
death - of James J. Strang, the well known
leader of the Mormon settlement at that place.
We derive the following brief details from
Capt. Meßlair :
It seems that Captain Mel3lair had occa
sion to send Strang on business, who while
.on his way, to the vessel, in company with
the pilot, was waylaid, and shot down with
pistols, Alexander Wentworth and Thomas
Bedford, two of the former followers.
He received throe balls in his body, one'
striking the skull behind the ear, glancing,
and passing out; one lodging near the upper
maxillary bones of the face; and the' third
close to the spinal column. After he had
fallen, one of his assailants followed up the
attack by a violent blow of his pistol over his
head, producing a severe contusion of his
brow and left eye.
The wounds were dressed, as soon as cir
cumstances admitted, by the surgeon of the
steamer, Dr. McClelland, who continued in
attendance upon him until the steamer Ic t.
The men satisfied that they had taken his
life, fled to the Michigan for nrotection
against the fury of the Mormons. Their per
sons were at once secured, - and they have
since been delivered into the custody of the
Sheriff of Mackinac.
The Michigan left Beaver Islands at noon
on the 17th, when Strang was living and sen
sible, but thought to be in a critica state.
Seven families, including those of the peti
tioners, and consisting in all of near thirty
persons, Mormon seceders, thought it pru
dent to quit the Island, and took passage
in the steamer to Mackinac.
