ASkttt* w Hdmah Shape.—Some four months
»go a «"•« nUMtI Charles W.Crnne, with tt wife
and one child came to this place. BorngluTery
[destitute circumstances, with a wife and child to
[*apport, (the fomcr of whom was encimte and
[within a few weeks of being delivered,)—he dil
igently sought employment in onr -town, lie
bad taken-boarding with a'family in town, but
at the end of a vtoek, bating failed to obtain
work and being unable to pay up was tamed
with bis family out of doota. In this sad plight
be enlisttfl in his behalf the sympathies of one
of our citizen* Mr.W. A. B. Laub.whd kindly
tarnished Crane and family withsheiler and sup*
I port in his own house,, and by personal solicita
tions secured for him a berth as fireman on the
road. Nor did bis generosity stop here, offer
lie hsd procured Crane sfeady work and good
wages, he vacated one of the rooms in bis house,
which bo.fumished at bis own cost, and stocked
the larder with a sufficiency of the necessaries
of life, to last the family Until bis first month's
wages became due. '
To nn honorable man such kind treatment on
the part of a stranger wouldhave proved ft strong
incentive,!*) labor late and early to repay such
generosity, and toplace himself and fatuity above
the reach.of want. .But it js clearly evident by
the conduct of Crane, thathe is not-entittod to
l to that appellation. Although he has worked
[•diligently and steadily even since earning most
|of the timo as high us, §1,50 a day, yet with the
lexceptions of a few paltry dollars, not the one
■fifth part of the sum expanded in his behalf, he
Irtill owes hia benefactor for the outlay in bis
Ktehalf.
Dot that is not the exfent of his depravity.—
Llthough free from habits of dissipation he was,
, perfect tyrant in the treatment of his wife; fre
{Uently beating her in the most shameful man
icr, without any cause; Although some six weeks
go she was Wonght to child-bed, and delivered
nf a fine healthy.looking child, yet, this brute
[refused to wait on her, or get any one else to do
■SO, compelling her to get up, and attend to all
her duties, even when in her weakest state.
Had it not been for the kind assistance of Mrs.
Laub, who rendered her-wlmtiittle attention
[could spare from her own family, the poor wo
i map might have perished
Thus thiugs continued until Sunday | last,
when Crone without any provocation set upon
his wife and after knocking her down, beat her
in a most shameful manner. Mr. Luub hearing
ithe noise went in and asked what wan wrong.—
[Crane replied that his wife ami he were merely
[cutting up. The poor woman denied his state
ment and said he had beat AicF. Mr- Laub re-
with the unnatural husband on his
brutality, and told him if be attempted any more
violence towards hia wife, he (Laub) wouldgivc
bind a lesson he wouldn’t soon forget. Crane
siujl he would not touch her any more, but as
lumo si MtvJAub }cft he recommenced
hisj brutality'; and lest the poor woman should
give any alarm be menaced her with a razor,
threatening to cut her throat if she screamed.
He then beat her again in & most shocking man
ner, which the poor victim was compelled, under
dread of death, to endure without a murmur.
On Monday last tins inhuman monster collec
ting all the money due him by the company, and
what he had on ham's, told his wife he was go
ing to fire an engine to Couemaugh. Mr. Laub,
on inquiry, found that ho had “ drawn LI j time”
from Mr. Vauclalu, and had doubtless run off.
He telegraphed to Conemnugh describing him,
and requesting his detention. Buttheheartless
j brute deceived,the there yrho had stop
ped. him, by cooly telegraphing back here to
this wife* that he was merely going to Johnstown,
land would remain there a week with her father,
life then started for Johnstown, but at that sta
llion got on one of the trains and wont on to Pitts-
Iburgh. Since then nothing has been heard of
■him.
His poor wife, left without a cent to buy even
illk.for her Infant, and with two small children
o.support, is in a truly pitiable condition, pn
’uesday she was perfectly crazy, running around
ttown until prevented by some kind-hearted per
toons, who took her in charge. She deserves and
[•ought to receive relief at the hands of the. Re
lief Association, and of our citizens generally.—
Except foV the mere matter of support she is
Infinitely better without than with her brutal
husband.
Crane is a man about 5 feet 10 inches high*
will weigh about 140 pounds; lightcpmplected;
sandy haired; hooked nosed, and when rapidly
speaking slightly stutters. He is a shoe-maker
by trajle, and has passed amonghis acquaintan
ces here by the name of ■“ Baltimore Charley.”
He boasts of being a great lady’s man. The
puWic wiU .do wellto/fce pn their guard against
ibis scoundrel as apart froin his brutality he is
not to-be trusted. 1.

Pauses’ Medicine. —Probably one of the
greatost discoveries in medicine is the Pile Lo
tion of Dr. Barnes’ manufacture. The Piles
have baffled the skill of the ablest Physicians,
and a permanent elite was, by them, consider
ed out of the question. Persons who have used
this celebrated Lotion have been permanently
cured. The severest case cured by it was that
of James Worrell, Esq., Secretary of the Cam
den k Amboy R. Ri! He had been afflicted for
over thirty years, and for the past eleven years,
has not had a recurrence of the disease. Those
who suffer with this dreadful disease need no
longer despair of being cured.

HOME QORKESPOJiDENCE.
[From Our Own Correspondents.]
HotuibCrsßcna, Match 30, 1858
Ou the 15th mst., a meeting of oar citizens
was held in'the Coqri House in this place, for
the purpose of adopting measures for the relief
of the poor. The meeting, I believe, was well
attended. Committees were appointed ; resolu
tions drawn up and submitted and a plan devi
sed, to assist the necessitous these trying times.
It is as follows: The appointment of a com
mittee of ten (five iladies and five gentleman)
who are to collect | inonoy and provisions and
.‘find out who are the needy and relieve them ;
also, a Treasurer, jwho is to receive all the
money collected; and the selection of another
committee to inquire who are in need of em
ployment and do a’d in their power to obtain it
for them. Uy this! means their, condition will
be greatly ameliorated.
- The “Gutta-percha”[pen man escaped the
irons and protection of our sheriff 1 , but not of
the officer of Clinton county. I bad been in
formed that our county had the preference, but
it seems Clinton enjoys the extreme honor. Hope
however that justice will be there, as it doubt
less vfould have been here.
A bold and successful burglary was commit
ted last week in this place. Dr. Johnson was the
sufferer by it. His .residence as Is supposed; was
entered by the thief, or thieves, through aback
window; some very valuable clothing'und such
articles of provisions as could be easily secured,
were carried off, I heard this morning that
Some trace of the i missing articles had been
discovered. It would be equally agreeable to
ascertain who appropriated them.
It is disagreeable to chronicle a rowdy spirit
which seems to characterize the young men of
our town. For or three weeks past, par
ties of from twenty to forty persons have par
aded our streets in the evening, under the in
fluence of .liquor,) singing obscene songs and
passing ungentleutanly jests. In one or two
iinstances they have almost made “night hi
deous” with their/ yells and noise. On hist
evening the performance was really disgrace
ful. It happened, that several persons had
been joined in the connubial knot,'and these
gallant and jovial |prigs thought that a sere
nade after their own glorious (?) fashion would
he acceptable. : Ahd cap-a-pie with tin pans, a
board and box pretty well rosined and other
mimical implements vocal and instrumental,
they ,to| the residences, of the sever
al hajipy couples hud gave them the beneflt.of
1 .their wonderfully and entertaining per
formance, although they were not the exclu
sively entertftiphdii qs the strains and oyerpow
etiug Of' the music reached the
neighbors and nol'doubt disturbed their aluin
bers. «> V •
• This may be sport inthe estimation of some,
bat a little incident in the performance above
mentioned will doubtless meet the disapproba
tion of all. At oihe of the places serenaded,
some daring spirit attempted, and I think suc
ceeded in raising done of the windows and us
ing disreputable and offensive language to the
indwellers and to; the bride particularly. The
proper officer should see that these proceedings
are stopped.

Springfield Furnace, March 27, 1868.
Since I last wrote you, I hftve been looking
over the “ Cove” to see what I might find of
general interest, but 1 have failed in finding
material enough to.get up a sublime letter aud
will therefore content myself with a regular off
hand affair. However I would not omit to men
tion that 1 have visited two more Schools of
which I must say a little.
The first is the School of Martinsburg under
the care and instruction of Mr. Ilerbst. About
thirty-five pupils were present, and a fimr look
ing body of Scholars is hard to find. Several
classes were called to the floor during my stay,
and I felt myself well entertained by giving my
attention to their performances. I was very
much pleased to notice the taste of the teacher
in his manner of instructing, and would certain
ly say that the people of Martinsburg would do
well to continue their present teacher as long
as they can keep him.
' The second whs the Boy’s High School of
Williamsburg, taught by. the' venerable Prof.
John Miller. Mr. M—' — has been engaged in
the above named place during the past eleven
years, which certainly speaks loudly in his fa
vor. And to visit his school is a pleasure of no
ordinary nature. Several classes of readers
and spellers were listened to with pleasure, but
the class in “ Mental Arithmetic, 1 ” took the
“ palm.” It was the best class that I have ever
had tHc pleasure of listening to, and it certainly
speaks volumes of praise for the Prof. May he
be spared to usefulness far long years to come,
and may the honor due an old and experienced
teacher be accorded to him.
The Rail-Road of which 1 spoke sometime ago,
is now under contract and in process ofcomple-
tion,
Our merchants and mechanics are beginning
tb complain of the “ bard times,” and some of
the former class are making wry-faces. I am
informed that my friend Dr. D. R. Good is about
to locate in y our town, in partnership with Dr.
Hirst. I have always heard that Dr. Hirst was
looked upon us an excellent Physician and a
gentleman, and I can assure him that his pvos
pecis will not be blighted by his new associa
tion. I can say from experimental knowledge
that Dr. Good possesses a thorough acquaintance
with the “healing art,” and from association I
have every reason to believe that he is a gentle
man of the “first water.” If you have any
doubts just get sick, or your arm broke and then
try him, or both of -them. “Long may they
wave.” ALPHA.
Ancu SraiMJ, March 29, 1858.
The day upon which many change their pla
ces of residence is almost here, and already
they are making preparations for their removal.
Some only remove to a neighboring dwelling,
others to a distant town, county or State. Al
though this is a pleasant portion of the year,
yet it-is a sad one to many.
At this rime more than at any other, many are
called to part with those they love and leave
the scenes made almost sacred by the transac
tions of their youthful days. : la this place there
are only two families that will not “ pull up
stakes”—the others leave for different parts.—
Perhaps this will not seem strange when I tell
you that there are only five dwelling-houses
here, and one of these is vacant; so that after
all only two families are going to leave us, in
whose stead others are coming.
1 am sorry that a bitter controversy has been
waging for several weeks pnstbetweeu “Alpha ”
and “ Mac Surely, such language os that
contained in several of their communications
can do no good, but tend only to fan the flame
of discord and contention and cause a still great
er estrangement. “ A word to the wise is suf
ficient.”
Perhaps this is the lost scrawl 1 shall be able
to send you from this place. Ere ten days shall
have passed I will bo preparing to take my de
parture for another scene of action. Since 1
have bpen among this people I have found many
friends and no open enemies. I believe twe or
three have attempted to injure me under-the
veil of sttcrecy from sinister motives; but such
covert aots of. cowardice have been passed by
unnoticed, esteeming their reproaches of as
much value as their praises.
“They may scorn me, if they choose—l care
But little for their scuffing*. 1 may sink
For moments; but I rise again, nor shrink
From, what the tUithful heart inspires.
1 will not flatter* fawn, nor crouch, nor wink
At what high-mounted wealth or power desires:
1 have a loftier atm, to which my soul aspires.”
I leave this place with regret, partly from
the fact of its'beautiful scenery, aha partly be
cause I; shall leave behind many warm friends.

eruptions and feverish heat from the setup.
We speak in relation to the abov<Tfrom what

with numerous who have used .the res
torative for the above purposed with the moat
gratifying results. .
It is not often we notice a patent medicine.
Indeed, we think we have never puffed; one be
