KPTTOA REPORTER just re turned from a trip io Versailles Morgan county, Mo.. I wish {to give you a few items which may be of interest to your many readers. The climate of that coun try is salubrious, and to a physician, dis gustingly healthful. The surface of the country Uvatied by timber'and prairie; about twice as much timber as prairie, and both are well adapted to agriculture, though the limber bottoms are the surest for wheat The country is peculiarly adapted to stock raising ; have seen im mense herds of cattle, mules and horsas. The prairie country reminds of Lancaster and Bet I;.* counties, in Pennsylvania. It ia gently undulating, while the monotony of a prairie view is pleasantly broken by frequent belts of timbei skirting the water courses. Prairie farms under cultivation can bo bought at from fifteen to twenty five dollars per acre; timber land runs at from five to ten dollars per acre. But the greatest {attraction, and what struck ma most particularly, was the immense deposits of lead in that country. Mining for lead is comparatively a new thing there, the mines only being worked since last Aprils Within two miles of Ver sailles, the county seat of Morgan county, {there are four different mines. At the new Granby Mines the yield aver ages about 2500 pounds per day to the shaft, though some days it runs as high as 11,(XO pound*. It require* no unusual •kill to operate the mino as most of the parties digging are the farmers from the country around. Lead is generally found from 10 to 15 feet below the surface, and lu thickness is from three to twenty feet- It is taken out in pieces weighing from half an ounce to six hundred pounds, though several chunks w£re found weigh ing over 10,000 pounds. One party that commenced work less than five weeks ago, have taken out 14,000 |>ounds. Mineral •ells readily at the shafts for S3O per thou sand. It is not unusual for bosses to make from $lO to SSO per day. Many are real iz ng handsome fortunes. Messrs. George Stover & Decker averaged 2,400 pounds daily during my sojourn at Versailles —having been one week visiting the dif ferent mines and furnaces. Besides load, other minerals, such as iron and coal abound in enormous quantities. After in vesting all my spare cash in mineral lands, I am homeward bound- The class of mineral lands above alluded to which six months ago could not be sold for $ 5 an acre, now readily command from fif teen to twenty flvedollars and many.douDt less in less than one year will bring three times that amount. That country is most in need of men with picks and shovels who have got the energy to go to work, and nerve and muscle to keep to it; but there is no encouragement for those who who would wish to obtain their livelihood by their wits. Money, though not plenty in tLe we.t, there seems to be no scarcity of it there. Yours, Respectfully, J. it. Kkkxdkk. EXECUTION OF WA UK TERR! HLKSCKNK ON TH .< SCAFFOLD Williamsport, IV, November (1. -A! forty minutes pa*t one o'clock to-day an attempt was nia.le to hang Wade, but tin rope was too long, and he touched tin ground Wade told the jailor to hurry u| as lie had an appointment to dine in he! with the Devil at two o'clock, lie sai the only thing troubled him i, whelhei the people he murdered are in heaven oi hell. The rope being too long, hit leel struck •quarely on the ground in this posiliot he remained, •liouling. "O, letrd, liavt 1 mercy."' The rope came off his neck, ami his body fell over heavily on the ground He was carried upon the scaffold, and, af ter a long delay in arranging the rope, tli* drop was again pulled. He fell thu tittle less than three feet. His pulse coutinued to brat for seven minute*. After hanging twenty-seven minutes, he wa* placed in a colli a and taken charge oi by his friends Many pieces of rope were cut oil and car ried away as relic* by the spectator* The Gaavtte and Bulletin say s that on Monday lngbt he tried to escape lie had got posses-ton of a Iliifs ami tile On that night he requested officer Stryker to dis tribute >oiiio of the provisions he had in his cell among the prisiener*. Stryker carried out one lot, and was about to lak< the second, whensbe*wa* seiied with a suspicion lhatlhcro was something wrong Looking closely he discovered that \\ ade had been tampering with his collar, but without mistrust, Stryker informed the Sheriff what had transpired I'bief t'odcr was sent for; also Mr. Ju-on Van Buskirk, •on of the Sheriff, who is a machinist, U> put a plate u|h>ii the collar to make It *c cure. L'pou the arrival of Chief Coder the cell was estered. when it was found that the collar had been filed off, and it was slipped off the neck with perfect ease. Wade then took from the water pi(H> the file. Complaining that he felt cool, he was allowed to put en his pauts, when he was seen to make a quick motion, placing something in his meulh. He was asked what it was. 11* replied it was money, and he intended to swallow it. No soon er said than Chief Coder seised him by the throat, and cbaked him until he •ireu-hrd out lull length pretending to be dead. The attempt was then made to open his jaw> with a key, but ot no avail. In a short time he wade a move, when the Chief ordered him to spit out the mon ey. This ho rvfuMwl to do, and the officer again Ikstened upon his neck iu earnest, choking the prisoner until he opened hi* mouth and allowed the money to roll out —fifty-nine dollars iu greenbacks. The I cell was then searched ; upon thu wall hung a photograph of the prisoner, and upon removing it a hole was discovered in i the wall, in which was found cunningly, secreted a tbree-bladed knife. Tbe prison er as thcu removed to another cell, hit', collar plated and a new bed procured, so 1 , that ao implements could be secreted , around him. His plan was as follows I, While officer Stryker was distributing the | provisions among the prisoners, he intend- , ed to slip eff his collar, dart out of his,| cell into the hall, open the door, and ina| ( moment be at liberty on Third street, ltj, was shrewdly planned, but fortunately t checked by the officer. Wade told many of his exploits with seeming relish He had killed many inen| ( and women on tbe frontier, he said, lid' ended the interview by saying. Gentlemen, this is getting to be a great country, whun a few rich men rule the na tion and the poor must suffer. It is time, to put a stoff to it. The people are going to the devil as fast as they can. Tlio trial lasted a week. Insanity was his counsel's defence. The jury were out; twenty-four hour*. Wade was told in his cell that they were slow in arriving at a , conclusion, and he answered, "Well, if 1 ; was among them with the club 1 used on ' the Mcßride*. I'll bet I'd make them •Rfce." HORRIBLE I>KKI> COMMITTED BY SOLDIERS OK NF.GBOKS IN LOU ISIANA ALMOST INCREDIBLE DKI'TII OF INFAMY DISPLAYED BY AN OFFICER. New Orleans November 1.-A letter from exjuv ge Merrill, dated Colfax, Grant parish, October 29, ay: In hate, and' with fee'-ings of horror I write to inform the public of the action of the Metro politan police sanl here by Lieuteuant- Governor Antoine, during the absence of Governor Kellogg. On Saturday night the bouse of a most icspectable widow lady on Red River was fired into near ibis place. Tha doors were broken open, and the unfortunate lady and her daughter, a girl of seventeen summers, were cruelly assaulted. Neither of the ladies could he found until laic on Sunday alternoon An infant, e.ghtcen months old, and a grandchild of ex-Governor V\ ells, was found out in the woods some half a mile from the bouse and near tho spot where the foul deed wa* perpetrsUod The infant was a niece of tbe lady, and a child oft Mumfoid Wells, oldest *on of ox-Guv er nor Well* the negroes up here all say that it was the soldiers, but* we all believe if they were not the perpetrators, they Ipsti gated the negroes to the Jliorrible deed of infamy; it is said here that when Colonel l)e Klyne was informed of the outrage he smiled and said hi* troops were up here for a higher purpose than to arrest inen for mere pettv offences. Antoine is believed to have sent these creatures up here, U> give tho negroes a chance for rcvengo, and, one of them told the writer that he had, a right now under the protection of the United States, to shout any white man he wanted to shoot, and violate any wo man he met I said to him that these were State troops, and lie replied that the Colonel had said at a negro ball the night before that he wanted al 1 the colored peo ple to come and see him and that, now they could do as they please, as they were under protection of the soldiers. Hall's Journal ol health declares that "the rule should be everywhere during the part of the year w hen fires are kepi' burning, t> avoid hoisting outside win dows. It is safer ar.d better to leave the chamber door open, as also the fireplace, then there is a draft up the chimney, while the room is not so likely to become cold. If there is some fire in tho room all night the window may bo opened an inch. It is atfer to sleep in a bad air all night; with a temperature over fifty, than n pure air with a temperature under forty. The bad air may sicken you but cannot kill you; the cold air can and does kill very often by lung diseases." IMPORTANT I)K< I*ION.— We understand that the County Court last week decided a point that particularly interests the auc tioneer, the bidder, and the person mak ing public sale. —The case was this : A farm was "knocked down" to a bidder, who afterwards refused to comply with the terms because no one but the auction eer bid against him. Tha rase Was taken into Court; the auctioneer being a wit ness, testified that the purchaser's alnta ment was correct, And the court declared the sale a fraudulent one and not valid. The substance of this decision is, in plain words, that an auctioneer ha* no right to "run up" on a bidder simply to make a good sale. Let all tako warning.— Banner of Liberty, Md. Lebanon, Pa., November 4. —An at tempt was made last r.ight to burn this city, it being fired at flyu different point*., but owing to the efficiency of our fire de partment the city was saved. A valuable barn owned by Hon. Josiah Tunck was entirely destroyed ; insured. Also a large barn owned by Henry Laudcrrailch, with all this year's grain and one hundred tons of hay. The barns contained all of this year's grain, a valuable collection of agri cultural implements, and the structures were Urge and costly barns. A later dispatch reduces the loss to $20,001) for each barn at the fire last night.

On Wednesday morning, slb, a tire oc curred in the otlicc of Benjamin Singerly at Harri.-burg, which resulted in the des truction of that building, one of the finest and largest of its kind in Pennsylvania. Harrisburg dispatches state that over one hundred men and women were employed in the building. A great rush was made lor the windows on the second floor, all other egress having been shut oft A great number of persons congregated on the outside, and rendered all the assistance po.-cible. Ladders were procured, and most of the woineiuescaped in this manner. Several of them, becoming excited, leaped from the windows at a height of 26 feet, but escaped injury, being caught in the arm* of the men congregated below. Among the property destroyed were 1,600 copira of 1.2U0 page* of the constitu tional convention journal; iM.OOO school re port* complete ; about 10,000 copiea of con stitutional convention debate*, containing seven volume* ; 0,000 topic* soldier* or phan report*: 6000 teacher*' monthly re port*; 6000 copiea of achool law* ; a t*>r tion of the slate treasurer'* report* and bureau ol tatitica, and many thouaai d schol ho)U of the Osgood's terie*, which were printed at thi* oflico.

A curfMpondtit of the London times gives the following sooouilt of an rseoution at Ye in Japan; 1 The eulpriu worn eight iu numbsr olio being a woman. They wera all belittadoif with n word. % l*he opera l ion was per lon an I with wonderful dextsrily and coolneaa and nut one of them even the woman, showed the •lightest symptom* of fear. There wns a space of ground roped off. inside were three holes dug iu the ground with a little mound behind each, on which was spread n mat for the crin • iual to knee! on. On one side of the I enclosure were two Japanese officials, in chairs to see the thing properly conducted. I had n place directly in front of the mounds, at about six feet distance. The criminals were placed in a row, on one side of the enclosure, blindfolded with pieces of paper (tbey use ua|>er for everything here). W hut struck mo moat was the hor rid coolness of the executioner's assis tant, a good-looking lad of about 18 ; h * went up to each poor wret h in bis turn, gave him a tap on the shoulder, 1-d him up to the mound, and made him kneel on the mat; he then strip ptd hi* shoulders, made him stretoh out hi* neck, said 'That will do" aud in u flush the man's head was iu the hole in front of him, and his bleeding neck was, as it were, staring me io the face. The assistant, alill with the a.ime pleasant smile, picked the head up threw some water over the faoe to wash off the blood aud mud, and pre sent • I it to the Japanese officials, who nodded and sigucd to go ou with the next; the assistant then gave the corpse a blow between the shoulders to ex pel the blood, and liually threw the carcass aside tike a log of wood, lie then repeated the same pleasant programme with the next. I never thought a man's head could come ofl* so easily ; it was like chop ping cabbages, only accompanied witb a peculiar anil moat horrid sound— , that of cutting meat, in fact. There was a dense crowd of Japanese present, ' including many women, and even children; these people never ceased to eat, smoke, aud chatter the whole lime, making remarks on the perform- i auce, aud even occasionally laughing, h just as if they were at a theatre. Tbj' executioner poured water on hi*!, isword between each decapitation, as • one wets a knife in order to cut India ' rubber. AKiotri'L I'ut*tio>.-(r*W■ | rit u pun a Afifffm county Man.
