v-insi the ground, Arch street, in the iuime

: with persons anxious to witness it. At a
jrter before eleven o'clock, the engine, with j
already raised, made its appearance,
irswa by two horses. Water was taken, and
lsoat * ten minutes a stream of water was

with different sized nozzles. With

The collars now worn by young gentlemen
lit decidedly unique. Tliey are shaped like

The peculiarity cf these garments is, that
th?y give to the nether limbs the shape of
early fall carrots —very small at the bottom,
but remarkably bulbous about the t p. The

Despatches from Col. Johnston.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.—Despatches' have
been received at the War Department ffuw
Col. Johnston, dated Nov. 6©th, which con
firm the previous reports of excessive sutfer
ing and great loss of the draught animals, by
snow storms, cold and starvation. A suffi
cicnt number of oxen, though poor, have
been saved to supply the proportions of the
rations for six days in the week, and there is
on hand bacon sufficient for one day in each
week for seven months. There is also flour
and small rations for the same period.
The storms dealt roughly with Col. Cook's
command. lie lost half of his horses, besides
a number f mules. A further advance tow
ard Salt Lake City cannot be made without a
new supftly of such animals, to procure which
Capt. Marey has been despatched to New
Mexico, for use in the early spring, when the
army with a volunteer force of 2000 men will
resume the march as soon as supplied with
horses and mules, and the grass on the moun
tains is sufficient to supply them.
Two volunteer companies have been mus
tered into service for nine months, and it is
expected that in a few days two more compa
nies will be mustered in.
The troops have borne the dangers and pri
vations of tho march with patience and cheer
fulness, and are in tine health, though some
of the regiments are still sufi'ering from frost
ed limbs.
Another letter from an officer of the army
says that the Mormons are afraid of the
mounted men. They are a set of cowards,
like all assassins and robbers, and he fears
that their leaders and those who have no
claim in the valley will run away, requiring
their deluded followers to destroy their prop
erty, lest it m;\y benefit the army.
Conviction of the Lancaster Murderers.
Alexander Anderson and Henry Richards j
have both been convicted of the murder of I
Mrs. Garber and Mrs. Ream, in Lancaster eo.,
Pa. Atter the conviction, Anderson made a
rope out of some carpet chain, intending to '
hang himself, but it was taken from him.—
Whenever either of them arc taken out and ;
returned to their cells they arc closely exam i
ined, so that they cannot get hold of the
means of either escape or suicide. Ever since '
they have been in prison they have been sha
ved by one of tlie prisoners, as it has uot j
been deemed advisable to trust them with a
razor. Anderson now evidently fully realizes 1
his true position; but Richards thinks he will
not be hung, as he says he only held the door
while his comrade murdered the women.
The Lancaster Times, of Thursday morn
ing, describes the reception of the death sen- >
tence by the murderers. Richards received
the sentence with tears but Anderson was per
fectly coid.
They both were then taken away by the I
Sheriff, but the District Attorney announced
that the question "if they had anything to
say why sentence of death should not be pro
nounced upon them," had nut been asked.—*
Upon this the two men were brought back
again. The question was then repeated to
Richards first, lie, perhaps not understand
ing it, or thinking that hy reiterating his
false conf"sion might escape, began a story,
commencing with the day when he started
from Lebanon, until he came to the house of
Mrs. Garber. The whole of the story is Con
tained in Gil. Harris' address. After he had
finished Anderson twok up the tale, and gave
an account of himself ami how be became
entangled in this fiendish outrage.
They both concluded their remarks by say
ing they were " innocent men, that they will
die innocent, that they never killed the w<>-
i men," <to , but these did n t have much effect
! upon the spectators or the judges. The sen
tences were then repeated, amid the most
profound silence.
While the two wore speaking, occasional
murat irs of disapprobation from the bystan
dors would break out, other times there- was
no attempt at disturbance or disorder.
After the sentences had been pronounced
several persons showed a disposition to ap
plaud, in token of their approval.
Public Sellout Iluiitliug Horned.
Public School Building No. If, of Brook
lyn, A". Y., corner of Concord and Navy
| streets, was discovered to be 011 tire one day
| last week. There, were nearly 900 pupils
i present at the time the fire broke out, and in
I the excitement attending their exit from the
I building, siven boys between the ages of six
and ten years, were crushed and suffocated
! by their companions on the middle landing
iof the lower stairway. The structure was in
' the f .rui of an L. with a front of 97 feet on
j Concord street, and the same on Xavy street,
t fronting the Park, and 3o feet deep. It was
| built of brick, three stories high. The ground
! ti >r was used for a play ground, the second
j floor for the primary department, and the
; third floor for the grammar department,
i The fire was first discovered about 2\ o'clock
' as near as ean be ascertained, by Miss IJ. M.
IBebee, a teacher in the primary department,
second story, in a lathed and plastered parti
tion wall, through which passed the tin heat
ers. It was undoubtedly from these heaters
' that the fire was communicated Jo the wood
work. Miss Bebeo, with great presence of
I mind, locked the door and informed the Prin
: cipal privately of the fire. In this manner
! the presence of the fire was madfi known to
I all the teachers, and without creating any
alarm. Miss Bebce had sixty small children
j under her charge, and after having notified
the Principal, she dismissed thorn, and they,
J taking their clothes and books, left the preui
j ises in very good order and without accident,
i All of the children in this end of the building
escaped without difficulty. The fire spread
with great rapidity towards Navy street. A
i few of the children jumped from the win
i dows; only one of thejje however was injured,
| and this one had one of his legs broken.
; Not very many minutes had elapsed after
the first general alarm before there was a
panic among the scholars in the Navy street
end of the building. IJy this time* many of
the boys had gained the street, and had been
going oat in good order, obedient to the orders
of the teachers, 4iut when the smoke came
drifting up the stairway, and it was noised
j about what the trouble was, the bovs who
j were behind became unmanageable, and
rushed in every direction to escape—a few to
the windows, but the majority to the Navy
street stairway. The great rush was on tho
stairs immediately Widing to the street.—
These were filled with small boys ; the older
ones, in tbeir anxiety to escape, rushed upon
them until the whole space was packed with
children. Of course the little enes were
j pressed down under the weight, and here
SEVEN boys lost thoir lives—not by fire or
| smoke, but actually smothered to death.

of the Bank of Pennsylvania.

Hollovrag's Pills. —When the great internal
organs perform their functions irregularly,
life seldom readies its ordinary limit, and a
vigorous old age i- impossible. All spasmod
ic action of the sooretivo apparatus is produc
tive of premature decay, and the lethargy and
sluggishness of the stomach and the liver is
equally unfavorable to longevity. One of the
m ist inestimable properties of these pills is
their regulating power. Their operation va
ries according to the condition of the system,
being restrictive where t lie re is too much ex*
oitcmeiit, and stimulative where torpidity ex
ists. They produce a wonderful effect upon
the pulse, improving it when feeble, and
calming it down when too full and rapid. To
j bring the whole system into perfect harmony
with the laws of health is the object they arc
| designed to fulfill, and they accomplish it.

S. W. Fowi.c & Co.—Gentlemen :—While
i suffering from dyspepsia s .me years since,
and trying almost everything for its removal
without any benefit, I w*< accidentally led to
uiakt- use ol tii Oxygenated Bitters, and after
a short trial of them, found ty health iin
; proving, and in time my disease radically re
moved. Since thou I have used them in my
practice, and generally with good -niecoss. 1
know of no medicine so well adapted to the
I cure of dyspepsia, in many id" its aggravated
forms. 1 have seen the most stubborn cases,
which had resisted almost all the preparations
1 commonly used for indigestion, yield as by
: magic upon the administration of a few doses
of these Bitters. Such results have increased
my confidence in their medicinal powers, and
strengthened my convictions of their superi
j nrity over all other instrumentalities, in the
[ treatment of the complaints for which thov
, are recommended. I would certainly advise
, those troubled with dyspepsia to use the Bit
' ters, and 1 am confident all who do so will
reap great benefit if there is nothing t* contra
; indicate their use. A. It. DORTER, M. D.

Circular to the Sick.
THE fir*! hospital surgeons and medical publicists Gf
Europe admit the unparalleled anti inflammatory and
healing properties of this Ointment ; governments sanc
lion it* n*t! in their naval and military services ; and the
masses in this country and throughout the world repose
the utmost confidence in its curative properties. It pen
etrates the sources of inflammation and corruption whir h
underlie the external evidences of disease, and neutral
ire the fiery elements which feed and exasperate the
malady.

more or less rapidly until the orifice is filled up with sound
maleiial, and the ulcer radically cured.
A Word to Mothers.

healing preparation constantly at hand. It is an absolute
spec ilic for sore breasts, and quickly removes the encrus
ted sores whit It sometimes disfigure the heads and fans
