Yost heard of tie murder the lame day, and
cam to Heading on the following djr. After an
lnvintlgaUon of the circumstances process was
sent t Schuylkill county, and Deal was brought
to Reading, the charge of assault against blm
having been withdrawn.
The Parties Vhe Helrl
the hatchet to Deal testified that the hatchet
Iound upon him closely resembled the one he
bought. The latter had guui or varnish on the
handle when new, while the one In Deal's pos
MFtlon had the, appearance ot having been
scraped. Deal's hatchet, together with the cloth
ing which he had on when searched by Detec
tive Lyon In the Schuylkill County Prison, were
subjected to a chemical analysis by Dr. P. M.
Ziegler, of this city, who made a number of
experiments upon them with a powerful micro
scope, tome of which " were conducted in the
presence of another physician, Dr. Ruodl.
Blood was detected upon the pantaloons and
upon the upper end of tho handle of the hatchet,
though whether it was that of a human being
or that of an animal the Doctor could not say
with certainty, the chemical tests for this pur
pose being, in his opinion, as well as according
to the authorities upon the subject, exceedingly
subtle and unreliable. The wounds upon the
person of Harlan were testified to be such as
. might have been made by a hatchet, their shape
justifying this conclusion. No other instrument
was suggested as having been the means of their
it, filet ion.
An Alibi Attempted.
A letter addressed by Deal while in prison
here to a person named Cornelius Snyder, at
Stoddardsville, Monroe county, with whom he
appears to have been quite intimate, and for
whom, it seems, he was a substitute in the army,
was read in evidence. In this communication
be talks quite religiously upon the merits of his
case and the subject of his own innocence, but
requests the party addressed to testify positively
that he passed him between 7 and 8 o'clock on
the evening before the commission of the mur
der on the road that turns off from the Black
Bear, three miles below Reading, observing that
this testimony alone can clear him. This letter
was Inspected by the prison authorities, and
withheld from the mall for obvious considera
tions. Two other letters of Deal to the same
party were also offered in evidence, but rejected
ou account of the want of a competent legal
identification. It will not bo improper to men
tion, since the verdict has been rendered, that
in thesa letters he admits having been a witness
to l be murder of ITarlan, but says the deed was
done by a couple of negroes, with whom the
victim had got into a dispute about some
vrhbky.
Km Testimony for the Defense.
No testimony was offered upon the part of
the defendant; but much stress was laid by his
counsel upon the fact that the murder was
without apparent motive, and it was also con
tended that if the homicide were fixed upon the
defendant, the offense should be found to be
. murder in the second degree, there being no
. malice proved.
The jury retired about half-past 9 on Saturday
night, January 22, the Court having stated to
' them before dismissing them that while it had
no desire whatever to hasten their deliberations,
the bell might be ruug when they agreed upon
their verdict. At 3 o'clock on Sunday morning
the appointed summons was sounded, and within
twenty minutes afterwards the decision was
rendered,' the verdict being a verdict of
guilty of
ftturder In the First Degree.
The prisoner, who had remained in the court
house during the deliberations of tho jury, and
had passed several hours of the interval in sleep,
received the announcement with the same appa
rent unconcern that he manifested all through
the trial, and since the signing of the death
warrant. The prisoner, up to this time, had
Pretested III Innocence,
and had refused to state anything of his former
life. To all such questions propounded by his
counsel, he would enter into a dissertation upon
the similarity of certain portions of the New
Testament with others of the Old Testament;
and, in fact, gave evidence of a familiarity with
the Holy Scriptures which until recently could
not be accounted for, when it was discovered
that he had already spent five years of his life
in the Eastern Penitentiary, the larger portion
of which time he devoted to reading the Bible.
After his conviction he talked freely to his
counsel on the subject of the murder, and
hauded one of them the following written state
ment, which was read in Court on the 31st of
January, when sentence of death was pro
nounced by Judge Wood ward:
Ills Htateuient.
Berks County, Pa., Kiading, Friday, Jan.
28, 1870 Statement by John Deal, a prisoner
and a victim, made to the most honorable Court
of Reading, Berks county:
It is witu the greatest humility that I address
you. I shall be very brief, nor shall I attempt
to disprove the charge which was made against
me, but coufine myself to a few facts, the con
sideration of whicb will, I trust, operate upon
your feelings in mitigation of the punishment
to which 1 may be sentenced tor my fault, a
fault which proceeded not from any evil motive
of ihluc.
You have all heard how we were at the town
of Leesport drinking, and so we were. The
last bl&ce in which we stopped was the hotel.
from which we set off for Pottsville, as friendly
as when we first met. Uuiug ou trom tue tav
ern some distance, to where some trees darkened
the road, at the same place a stream of water
crossed, at which place I was saluted by my
comrade with these words: "Stop: don't let s
go auy further." "Why," said l, "are you
troinsr back there to the tavern to stay till
morning ?' He replied, "I am not, but
give me your top coat, with what money
and vour new hat that you ve got. 1 re
replied, "I would if you were deserving of it,
but vim drink vour money as fast as vou tret it.
bo 1 think you are not worthy of the gift. I
will uive you enouirh nionev to keep you at the
tavern if you want." He replied, "No, but give
me what you've got, or, d n your eyes, I'll
drill a bull through you." He at the same time
uoluted a weapon to my breast, which fright
ened me. I grabbed the weapon from his hand,
threw it away, struck him, whether with the
back or edge of the hatchet I cannot tell, God
knows, when he fell. I went on, not thinking
any evil, not knowing that I had caused death
to him, for which I am called in question and
coi'demned.
To this version of the affair he has constantly
adhered, and when once told by one of his
counsel that it was an unlikely story, he replied,
4 'Well, I can't tell why I killed him."
Ills Spiritual Attendants,
Since the day of his execution was announced
he has spent much time with the Bible, and has
heen attended by Fathers r nan and uornemann,
two Catholic priests of Reading, to both of whom
" be has expressed perfect resignation, a satisfac
tion with the verdict, and a willingness to die
for the crime. About two weeks since he applied
for pen and paper, which were given him. What
be has written is not as yet known, but it is
believed t be a full confession.
To his counsel, Horace A. Yundt, Eq.. he has
detailed a
Sketch ef Ilia Mfe,
from which it will be soeu tuat he has led the
life of a vagabond and criminal. lie knew
nothing of his parentage and has always borne
the name of John Deal, he not being cognizant
until within four weeks that that was not his
right name. Within that period a gentleman
called npon him and claimed hint as his brother,
stating that bis lawful name was Zachariuh E.
Snyder. This statement am also been vouched
for by a woman who nursed him in his Infancy.
Upon learning this fact he denounced his
parents, whoever they might be, and stated that
on them reBts the blame of the many criminal
acts which he has committed. He lived in
Luzerne county until 16 years of age, when he was
Coavlr.ttia af Home mealing-
and sentenced to an imprisonment of two years
in the 1 astern Penitentiary. Upon being again
turned upon society he enlisted and served
through the war. lie then returned to his native
county, and, after being home a short time,
married a widow with four children. This
family ho soon deserted, and after a course of
dissipation attempted to
Cammlt n Urinous Offense
upon the person or a lady, i or this he was
arrested, convicted, and again consigned to the
Eastern Penitentiary for three years, nis term
of imprisonment expired on the 6th of October
lost, and he was on his way home whence mur
dered Harlan and attempted what might have
resulted in another homicide.
The Motive lor the Deed.
It was not shown on the trial what motive
had induced him to slaughter Harlan, but it was
conjectured that he had made a proposition to
Harlan to rob some wealthy gentleman, which
the latter not only refused to do, but, on the
contrary, had threatened to inform on him.
Rather than have this exposure, it is believed,
he murdered his companion.
The Oallows.
The gallows to be used is the one on which all
the recent murderers in Philadelphia have ex
piated their offenses, and was erected t-day
under the supervision of Philadelphia's cele
brated "Jack Ketch." This gentleman has also
brought with him the rope from the end of
which Snyder's body will dangle to-morrow.
The Prison.
As at Huntingdon, the prison here backs
up against a high hill, being situated at the head
of Penn street. This moudd extends a couple of
hundred of feet above the walls, but as the
buildings adjoin the hill no view of the execu
tion can be had from that point. No Improvised
platforms outside the walls will be allowed to
be erected by Sheriff Albright, who deserves to
be commended for the course he has taken in
this respect and with reference to the numbor to
be admitted within the enclosure. Mac.
THE DEADLY PRUti.
Opium and ita Culture An Important Branch
i industry.
A medical correspondent of the Nashville
American writes as follows to that paper:
Having found it impossible to prooure a
pure article of opium in commerce, oven at a
very high price ($14 to $S1G per pound), and
believing it might be cultivated successfully
in this climate and soil, we ordered from im
porters the poppy Beed, which we have dis
tributed gratuitously to parties who will take
an active interest in its culture and report
success. We are giving it a fair trial under
our own supervision, and to those who are
interested and desire the advantage of our
research, we take pleasure in giving the fol
lowing items:
This plant is probably a native of some of
the warmer parts of Asia, although it is now
very generally cultivated throughout the
south and middle of Europe, and grown in
some places in tne united elates,
There are several kinds of poppy, but that
variety which produces white dowers and
white seed is considered best for opium. The
seeds of the poppy are very small, and with
care in sowing, one or two ounces is suffi
cient for an acre. I he soil should be fine and
loose when the seeds are sown. Deep cross
plowing, two or three times each way, and
thorough harrowing will ensure best results.
when the ground is ready lay off in drills
three feet apart, and plant from one to two
feet in the rows. Cover slightly if at all.
riant in April or Hay, sooner might be better
for this climate. When the seeds are sown
the subsequent cultivation consists chiefly in
thinning and weeding. Heavy rich manuring
is deemed most favorable. Irrigation is prac
tised with marked results. The cultivation
should be as thorough as cotton culture and
similar in many respects.
I he narcotio juice is developed only about
flowering time. As soon as the flowers from
a sufficient number of poppy heads have
fallen, the cultivator, armed with a sharp
knife, passes through the field in the morning
and wounds all ripe heads by horizontal inci
sions. During the day the milky juice of the
51 ant oozes out and collects on the capsule,
'he following morning it is gathered by being
scraped off with a dull knife or scoop, and
transferred to a plate or saucer, and set away
in the shade to dry. After it drys sufficiently
it is worked up into a homogeneous mass.
rolled into balls, covered with poppy leaves;
and then it is ready for nse. You can by this
process rely on having pure opium, which is
very scarce in this country.
Professor Carson, of Philadelphia, who hai
taken great interest in this subject, several
years ago oflered $100 in gold lor a single
pound of pure Turkish opium, if it was fouud
in the country: he was unable to get it. The
Doctor has cultivated the poppy and pro
duced his own opium, and writes me that he
believes it can be successfully produced in
this country.
1 rolessor Joseph Bates. M. D.. editor of
'J he Journal of Materia Medica. published at
New Lebanon, New York, writes me that he
has grown his poppy and produced his opium
for the past five years, and that all the physi
cians in I ew Le i) anon nave used it and pro
nounced it purer and far more reliable than
any procured in commerce. He also writes
that our climate is better suited to its growth
tnan ma. ana inai me enterprise is a noble
one and will prove not only remunerative in
the highest degree, but beneficial to oar poo
pie.
mere are over iw,mnj,ow pounds of opium
consumed annually in China, and more than
1,000,000 pounds imported to this country
every year, witn a larm oi $s per pound.
It is estimated mat irom ou to 100 pounds
can even now be produced to the acre. Its
consumption is rapidly increasing. As t
medicine opium is invaluable. Poreira Bays:
"You can find one medicince to take the
place of another in every article of the ma
teria medica except the valuable medicine
opium, which has no substitute."
A Umurknlle nianumcrlpt.
A remarkable manuscript has been found
in the Imperial Librarv of Paris, bearing date
May 13. 10(55, the authenticity of which is
vouched for, and whicb seems to establish a
bitter repugnance on the part of Louis XIV
to tne dogma oi l apai infallibility. The docu
ment describes an interview between the
grand monarch and the Pope's nuncio, in the
couise ol which iiia wajofctj raised au arm
clenched his fist, and threatened still more
cogent arguments; the provocation having
been an explicit claim put forth by the nun
cio to infallibility and superiority over tem
poral sovereigns in behalf of his master. The
fride and personal desires of kings, from
lenry VIII down, did more thra th enlight
enment of their people to sap those lofty pre
tensions, which even now show snob, wonder
ful signs of vitality.
Anecdote of Db. Bfjscher. fro'ewor
Stowe tells the story that as he was once
walking with llichard II. Dana, Sr., through
one of the narrow streets which led to Quincy
market, they met Dr. Lyman Beecher rush
ing rip on the other side of the street, with a
bundle ef what looked like oysters tied up
with a silk handkerchief, in one hand, and in
the other a lobster, which he held by the
back, with all its claws in a state of dangling
protrudon. Something had the night before
occurred which had pleased him very muoh,
end as Boon as he saw them he stopped and
begun to harangue them across the street,
gesturing with prodigious animation alter
nately with the bundle . of oysters and the
lobster with the inevitable result that an
amused crowd soon Collected. Walking on
said Mr. Dana, with a merry laugh: "I never
heard the doctor Bpeak with such eclat.

To vhom it may eoncem:
All the leading medioal authorities recognize the value
of diBusive stimulants. Numerous eminent physio ians
and surgeons might be named who have advocated their
employment in the treatment of a large olaas of disorders.
No Dispensary is considered complete without them.
They are prescribed in all publio and private Hospitals,
ana administered Dy all bedside praotitiouer.
But the difficulty has been to obtain
Alcoholic Liquors Pure.
The pnngent aroma of the fusel oil and biting acids pre
sent in all of them can be scented as the glass is raised to
the lips. The nauseous flavor of tnese active poisons is
perceptible to the palate, and a burning sensation in the
stomach attests their existence when the noxious draught
baa tone down. Paralysis, idiocy, Insanity and death are
the pernicious fruits of such potations.
Medical science asks for a pure stimulant to use as a
specific which while it diffuses itself through the system
more rapidly than any other known agent, II brought into
direct and active eontaot with the seat of disease. It is
the property of the stimulant to diffuse, and by the aid of
its peculiar nutritions component parts to invigorate,
regulate, counteract and restore, and it is by the happy
onion of the prinoiple of activity with the principles of
invigoration and restoration that enables a
