" Ainvier Inns.t foul, as in the host it is; this must foul, strange and unnatural," On the night of the 28th December, .707, a murder was committed at the ,heetz farm, adjoining the village of ,healTerstown,, Ileidleberg township, auphin, now Lebanon county, which, `ndependent of the daring and atrocious lirticter of the act,was marked by sonic cry singular incidents, illustrative of he manners of the times. Peter Sheetz, he hero of the story, was for many years client of mine, and has• often told me lie history of the atnir. The facts here i yen are furnished by him, the abstract ! I the trial in Chandler's Criminal r f'ri• Is, and a pamphlet, published at the tine, entitled— •.1. oprre-t iwenant nf 0.1:1 trialnr Charles anus, 1,1111 Edixaheth linnet`, Patriak (map n, Prowl..? Cox, uad others, at Ilarri6burgh, tms Oyer and Torminor, 1793, for the murder a 'rancis 61.itz, oa the night if the 38th beeetnber, in, at ilvldleherz township, Dauphin county, in o Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Comm Will. •., ite whole ON-ilium:a, and the substance of all o law argum.mts in those celebrated Peter Slteetz, the father pf the tour• red matt, was a wealthy German far who owned Coe farm on which the :urdpr was committed. lie had three Elizlheth, whn was married to hti if tour, Francis and Peter. 13y his II he begonathed to his dangliier, the ire of Hauer, one ilions.and pounds, currency,) but lie advance erns made to her in his fife-iiine, imenting to a considerable portion of ie whole sum, were to be taken as part the legacy, He devised the whole ;,triallitler of his esipte, consisting of 250 rc..9 of very fine land, with excellent ildings, and a handsome sum of mon ,s to his two sons, providing that in case the death of either without issue, his are should go to the surviving brother, pnyingin dint event;€sQUto the doug,h ,r, and in case of the deatii:of both with. ut issue, then the wire& to go to the aughtcr for life, and after her death to e heirs of her body. This made it an tailed estate, in case the two brothers 'ed without issue, which in Pennsy lva. is, can be cut off by the acknowledg. lent of a deed in fee in open court by sband and wife. Francis and Peter Sheetz were both ou ng men of extraordinary physical 'top ortions, but very deficient in into!. %ct and education. Peter, in after life, ecame a noted fighter. In'-that 'day ten fought for the love of the thing, d were known all over the.*rman set cements, according to their prowess.— y grandfather told me, that he and his others, who were well known in this Lspect, had tow•shirts made on purpose put on when they went to fairs or r . .,ttalions, at which places the guavas year were settled by a rough and ble fight, in which it was considered 'triumph for one to tear the.shirt of the er to pieces. He acquired no great ill in these battles, as he went into the y as an Ensign when' sixteen years , but to the last, enjoyed a tight very ch. Peter Sheetz, on one occasion, t two men from Cumberland county, ielker's tavern in Harrisburg, who come to that place, expressly to p liim. If one could not do it, the er was to try. lie suid he would lake h at once, and locking the door of they were in, commenced the 'fie. lie beat them both, but was bliged to keep his bed for six weeks. any other feats of his might be relat t,which his enormous size and strength abled him successfully to perform.-- liauer, the brother-in•law, had mewhat more education than the ! others, and although not remarkable •r intellect, was much superior to them that respect. His morals were bad, d he was also a man of groat strength. The old gentleman died in 1795, and :e publication of his will produced a olent family quarrel. Hauer entered caveat, but was advised to, and did ithdraw it as useless. Francis was enty.one at his father's death, and Pe. r, three years younger. Knowing the trerne ignorance and superstition of brothers•in-law, he tried various ali t d expedients to induce them to an al division of the property. I-Ie pre ded that the ghost of old Peter had ,peareo to him and declared that he could not rest in his grave, in conse quence of his injustice to his daughter. Finding that although the boys were much alarmed, their acquisitiveness was proof against this story, he wrapped himself in a sheet, and entered their house at night, and personating the old gentleman made many lamentations, over his own dreadful condition,, and the cruelty of his sons in not relieving him. The boys although terribly alarm ed, fired at him, and finding that the ghost fled, pursned, seized and exposed' him. He had made several other efforts of the same kind, His creditors, who during his father•in-law's life had been content to give him time, now began to press him. At this critical moment, when he was revolving on some new expedient, by which to accomplish his ends, the terrible project which was eventually partially accomplished, was suggested to him, by a man who had his own purpose in the business. Charles 'McManus and Patrick Don agog had come over from Ireland in the same vessel before these events took place. Being very poor, they consulted with each other how to make a living in the new country to which they were go ing, and, if possible, escape forever from their wretched condition. Being also very wicked, they agreed to travel together through the country, and find some rich man who had an only (laugh-, ter. McManus who was good looking, had some education, and was besides quite a young man, was to court and marry her. The plan was then to kill father and daughter, sell the property, and divide the proceeds between them. In pursuance of this hellish design they had wandered about through the coun try, until Providence brought them to the vicinity of Selnefferstown. The dif finulty about the will of old Peter Sheetz made a great noise through the country-side, as well as the efforts of Hauer, to set it aside. After some con ' sultation they agreed to broach a plan to Hauer for the murder of Francis arid Peter. They intended to let him be hung, well k twirl rig that suspicion would first settle on him—McManus was then to court his widow, and the original scheme to be carried out. According. ly they approached Hauer, and the LlU fortunate Intel agreed to it, provided he could not got them out of the way, ac• cording to ectlaiii plans which he had ,formed, which he carried out with re gard to Peter, and which will be level• oiled is the course of the ensuing nar rative to the proper understanding of which these preliminary statements are necessary.—['l'o be continued: [Many of the facts contained in this and future sketches I write from memory. If any mistakes occur, I will be l;lad to correct them.] Our Democratic friends in Dau phin county hdd their County Conven• Lion Dm:Monday of last week, and nom inated the following excellent ticket: Richard J. llahleman for Senator by acclima tion. Poo A:isambly, Edward lawman and Dan- Sketrwe: Sheriff, Daniel Wilt; CoMmissioners, Jacob Holliiigton and Solomon Landis; Treasurer, A. W. Watcms; Recorder, Peter Hummel; Direc tor of the Poor, John Horst; And., G. linunond, Mr. Haltletnan, the candidate for Sen ator, is an present editor of the Patriot end Union. He performed good ser vice for the cause in the campaign lass fall, and visited this county making speeches on several . occasions. He is a gentleman of talent and true Democ racy, and his nomination by the Democ racy of Dauphin will, we think, be ac quiesced in with pleasure by his party friends in Lebanon county. Below we append his remarks before the conven tion on accepting the nomination : Gen tirlon of the ren imt i—You have to-day, un a tiimowiy, and on the first ballot, nominated me to the highest candidature within your gift. For the honor which you hare conferred, and the compliment which you have paid me, I am pro ton. dly grateful. Ey your action you have prov ed that I am without enemies, and that mycarcer as an editor, and conduct as a man meets your ap - proval. As I have never before accepted a nomi nation for political office, I am, so Mity, upon the threshold of part - ism is life. lam about launching my boat on the troubled sea of political contests; and thanks to you, the sails are swelled with the breezes of popular favor, and the sympathetic ac clamations of the party with which I have volun tarily, connected myself'. The men of Dauphin county, my friends, many of whom have known me from childhood, and ache hare known my fa ther, whom I revered most on earth, have offered me this compliment. In Jlauphin county, I was barn, hero I have been bred; anti I 'hope, the grass shall grow green over my bones as they moulder to dust in Dauphin county earth. The excellent gentlemen who have been nomi nated with myself, as your representatives, arc of course aware that they have been selected to lead an almost forlorn hope. But we accept the trust. If we fall in the breach, we fall in the perform ance of duty. We storm the enemy's citadel,and like holy crusaders, we shall endervor to wr e n c h Dauphin county from the hands of the infidels.— We may fail, but it will be with a conscious ness of duty fulfilled. We do not forget that on each succeeding year the opposition majority is reduced. By harmonious and united action, wo hope to break the enemy's ranks. In serried col umns, and shoulder to shoulder, we shall attempt to break the centre of a disorganized a nd quarrel ing enemy. Again, I repeat, that although it is not in mortals to command success, we shall de serve it. 3IRDS.—It is to be regretted that the Bird law is not enforced against sports men. In the country a person can trav el for miles and scarcely hear the sweet note of a single bird—all , killed. The pleasure derived in shooting the little creatures cannot certainly justify 'flak ing the earth and air a solitude—as it is at present away from mans' habita tions. If our farmers would make a few examples of the "killers" it might have a salutary effect. O The School Directors of Leba non Borough on Saturday last; made the following appointments of Teachers:— MALE SCHOOLE.—No; 1, R. W. McCormick; No. 2, John L. Mustard; No. 3, J. T.

Mr. Karch is a very respectable citizen belonging not to the Democratic party. Kr The sale of Arnolds & Seibert's Town Lots and Houses will be held at Reinhard's Hotel instead of the Court House as advertised last week. 0::r Mr. John George purchased the borough Weigh Scales for $5O.

Enquire at this of f ice. -• CAMP MEETING.--A Camp-meeting will be held by the United Brethren in Christ, on Mr. John Kochenderfer's land about 2 miles north of this borough commencing on the 17th inst. n" A little boy belonging to, Levi Care, of this borough, was Jost on Mon day evening. Bells were rang and a general search instituted. Near mid night he was found on the garret of his parent's house, in a meal box, sound asleep. g . "' Attention is directed to the no tice of Messrs. Hoffman, !Mime' & Co's New Transportation Line. The mem bers of this firm arc all gentlemen of means and superior business tact.— They will conduct their affairs in a man net' deserving of the public patronage. rkrDISTILLERY.—Since our notice of the remodeling of the old stone house, in North Lebanon borough, we learn it is to be transformed into an extensive distiller}'. A steam engine for that put.. pose is now being built at the Weimer Machine Works. (*-- Sig. LaunAetr, gave exhibitions on Friday and Saturday evenings in the Temperance Hall, in this borough, in Ventriloquism and. Necromancy. They were pretty well attended. The exhib itor showed himself an adept in the art. He deserves encouragement wherever he performs. OD. John li. Mauch, M. D., a na tive of Lebanon, now of• Burlington, lowa, has been appointed to the Chair of Maieria Medics, Therapeutics and Medical Jurisprudence, in Rush Col lege, Chicago, Illinois. The many friends of the Dr. in this locality are delighted to hear of his constant upward course in the Temple of Fame. ..,i'Considerable diversion was occa• sioned on Monday evening by one of our incorrigibles appearing in proper costume, with rod and line, before the Eagle Rotel, and proceeding to fish in that pond in the street. The sport wound up, by the disappearance of the rod and line i,p,acloud of rain—'-a mack- erel at one end and a sucker at the other. HArtvEsT Home. SWOONS .—Thiede• lightful festival of the Church has again been celebrated. The 'bountiful hand of Providence, so palpable at this season of the year, has been fitly recognized in the thanksgiving Sermons of the Church. It is a beautiful institution, and .peculi ar to a Christian community. May it never die out. (*" On Friday evening of last week the pipes extending from the Lebanon Valley Railroad Depot to the Brandy wine creek, were filled with water, in order to secure suction by means of a steam engine. The water was forced from the Quittapahilla through hose into an elevated tank, by the Perseverance Suction Eng;ne. It required, we learn, 100,000 gallons of water, which was forced up in art uninterrupted stream. We are advised, that Mr. Joel Spyker, whose nomination for the Leg. islature by the Democracy of Jefferson county we noticed several weeks ago, is not a native of Berks county, but was born and raised in Jonestown, Leb anon county. We were misled by one of the Reading papers. Berks has many valuable jewels in her own right, and should not attempt to steal from her neighbors. TALL CORN STALK.—There is a Dem ocratic Corn Stalk in our neighbor Christian Henry's garden, that probably heats all ever produced in the State.— It measured 14 feet 2 inches in height, and reminds us of the tallest kind of Democratic majorities given at last week's elections. We challenge the county to produce a taller specimen.— It is still growing finely. . Kr Two weeks ago, when we an nounced the opposition ticket, as noth ing was said about a candidate for the Assembly i we took it for granted that Mr. Hoffman, of Heidleberg, would be renominated for a second term, accord ing to custom. We are now pretty well satisfied that we were in error in that respect, and that he will be obliged to give way to D. W, Leeds, hailing, we believe, from Millcreek township.— Where there is an effect there is always a cause—so philosophers tell us. In Mr. Hoffman's case the cause of his be ing "sot back" is produced by his vote in the last Legislature in favor of grant ing three millions of dollars by the state towards the building of the Sunbury and Erie Rail-road. It is, and very tru ly, supposed by the Managers of the party in this county that Mr. Hoffman's defeat would be certain with that ill-ad vised vote staring him in the face. In counties not interested in the Sunbury and Erie railroad, the renomination of any gentleman who voted for that out rageous grant would be political suicide. When Mr. Hoffman was advised to give his vote in favor of that bill he little knew or thought that it was to "kill him off;" and that his advisers were, deeper and farther-seeing in political scheming than he was. They led him to his own undoing. LEBANON *ADVERTISER.

When the Deinocrats have the power to re*arti their political friends, it unfortunately too often happens that some of them arc forgetful of their political friends and reward their political enemies. The reverse is the ease with the opposition, who take care of their friends and permit their adversaries to pursue the even tenor of their ways. An exemplification of the perfidy of some democrats, when clothed with power, we had last win ter in the electron of Simon Cameron. I allude to Wagonseller & Co. • X MR. Entron:—There is at present an evil ex isting in. our communiitr, that deserves the serious attention of every good citizen. On Sabbath morning in paying a visit to one of our Sunday Schools, I found to my surprise and regret that but one-leaV of the male scholars were present.— This, I learn, is precisely the state of affairs in all our Sabbath Schools, which certainly does not re fleet much credit upon those parents who allow their children to perambulate the country iu quest (?) of fruit. In this respect, however, ma ny who are sent away from home with the express purpose of attending Sunday School, violate the day by playing truaq, which should induce pa rents to pay frequent visitncto their respective schools. It is so evil which reacts upon the mor als and respectability of our community, and as your paper is read by nearly every family in town, I offer these remarks. A CITIZEN. For the Advertiser. tintA,NO.S . , Aug. 10, 1857. Mn. EDITOR:—As yuti'are undoubtedly aware of the fact, that two stage coaches are now daily passing between this place and Fredericksbitrg, via Jonestown, taking passengers at low rates, on account of the strong, opposition between the rival coaches, thus afford an excellent opportuni ty to the lovers of traveling, (printers in particu lar) to take a pleasure excursion for the "benefit of their health," during these sweltering days— as August bids fait to take all the honors of the hot season. To take advantage of the warm weather, "in the long mouth of August," in white linens and no cravats, panting like a turtle turn ed on his hack on the (kallipagos Islands, accom panied by a friend, I paid a flying visit to the vil lage of Jonestown, and after having put up at one of the hotels we wended our way Co the Swatam, one of the finest and most picturesque streams in the State, there to "dive like a feather and swim like a stone," as the poet Would have it. But af ter plunging in, Alligator style, we found that we really could buoy the "beautiful blue sea," and therefore unanimously' concluded there must be reality in all things. 'Swatara, however, for which we sighed so incontinently, we soon found could even not keep us cool, and after a minutes' "consideration, deliberation and rcileption," we set it down as a mere brook in our estimation—it having grown beautifully less by degrees—and concluded to leave for the magnanimous and sweeping Atlantic, provided we arc not debarred by that mingled curse and blbssing of humanity— business, in which we are stYctlensively engaged After returning to our trend-quarters and tak ing tea, .te., we set out in ti carriage, with-the ex press purpose of seeing thOsights ! With a noble charger we proceeded to the break in the canal. at a 2.40 rate, as though our preicnce there could not be dispensed with, which caused many to set us down as the head officers of a corps of ertgi neeral":lVc now become intiiii4a with the idea that we nittstbe of some consequence amongour friends of the interior. At the break we found a number of laborers busily engaged, and not a stone re mained unturned that could be of any available service. There was every hope of a speedy com pletion of the break when we left, and the man ner in which we returned was indeed a caution to outsiders, our speed outvieing that of the renown ed Gilpin! In passing over the (I had almost said Rocky) mountains, afforded a delightful view of the surrounding country, and while at an ele vation of several hundred feet (not miles) we halt ed our dashing and foaming steed, and gazed with admiration over a range of country of unsurpass ed fertility and beauty— The broad teeming acres studded numerously With happy homes of plenty, and thethriving village of Jonestown, was indeed a splendid scene„ and disclosed vast sources of wealth. The road seem ed strange, and yet how often• in former years have I traveled it. The stretches of forest trees seem to have changed their former selves. The "old familiar face" of Nature was oddly rejuvenized. I perceive that the bountiful harvest is about ending, oats bringing in the "glorious rear." Ev erything in the shape - of fruit presents a promis ing appearance—arV apple-butter frolics may soon be expected among the "bright eyes" and lovers of sweet cider Thrashing is going on at a great rate with some farmers, who are no "doubt determined to make a clear track for their chil dren to attend school at the proper time. The va rious occupations of the people along the route unite in one common song of industry. What was most pleasing, however, was the good and sociable character of the ladies, (hod bless them, says Plnenix, so say I,) to spend one even ing with whom, could not be compensated by m month at Saratoga! 0! shade of Othello ! What our "better-halves" over here may think of this will perhaps yet be realized 'Sposc I had better keep shady! Jonestown is a neat village with a fine church, and another in course of erection. It has con siderable local trade. On Saturday the Harvest Home was celebrated by the Sabbath School, in a beautiful grove near by. The military were np on the ground, and everything passed off in a credible manner. RAMBLER. The Lebanon Markel. CAREFULLY CORRECTED WEEKLY. WEDNESDAY, August 12, 1857. Ex.
