MwHIbeantlln the course of my atery. tne
peddler was Inquisitive, and HeniethitiK or n
tattler, always Itching te hear the new, mid
Mxletu te tell it again.
Alter an eany ereaKianai .-uornniewrii me
' totaime-peddler, whose namejwas Domini-
cttil'lke, had traveled no von tulles threupli
a solitary piece or weeds, without apeaklng
a word te anybody but himself and hi Uttlu
Sraymare. It beiug neatly seven o'clock,
e was as eager te held n morning gossip ns
a city shopkeeper te read tlie morning p.i-
per. ah opperiunuy Buuiueu hi. utiuu, nui'ii,
after lighting a cigar with n Himglnss, In,
looked up and perceived a man coming ever
the brew of the bill, at the tout et which tlie
peddler had stepped Ills green cart Domi
nions watched him as he ileieetulad, mid no
ticed that he carried a uuiiilloevor his shoul
der en the end or a stick, and tr.ueled with
aweary, yet determined pace. Undid net
leek as if lie had started in tlie freitmriw of
the morning, but had footed it all nklit, and
meant te de the same all day.
" Geed morning, iulster,'ftuld Demiuicus,
when within speakiug disUiice. " Yeu co
a prettv geed Jeg. What's tlie latest neu a at
Parker's rails T"
The man pulled the bread brim of a grav
hat ever his eyes and answered, rather sul
leDly, that be did net ceme from I'arker's
Falls, which, as being the limit et his own
day's Journey, the peddler had naturally
mentioned in his inquiry.
" Well, then," rejoined Dominions Vike,
" let's have the latest news where you did
come from. I'm net particular about Par
ker'a Tails. Any place will answer."
Being thus impertuned, the traveler who
was an ill-looking a fellow nsoue would do de
sire te meet, in a solitary piece et woods weeds
appeared te hesitate a little, as if he wa
either searching his memory ler news or
weighing the expediency of telling it. At
last, mounting en the Mop of tlie cart, he
whispered in the ear el Deuilnlcus, though
he might have shouted aloud and no ether
mortal would have beard him.
"I de remember one little trltle of news,"
said he. Old Mr. Uigginbellitun, of Kim Kim
ballten, was murdered in Ills orchard, at
eight o'clock last night, by an Irishman and
a nigger. Tliey strung him up te the branch
etafcit. Michael's pear tree, where nobody
would find Mm till the mernlug "
it.
As seen as this horrible intelligence was
communicated the strauuer betook himself
te his Journey again, with mero speed than
ever, net even turning his head when Douil Deuil
nlcus Invited him tosmeku a Spanish cigar
and relate all the particulars. The peddler
whistled te his ninreaud went up the hill,
pondering en the delelnl fate of Mr. Ulgglu Ulgglu
betbam, whom he had known In the way el
trade, having sold blm many u bunch of long
nines and agteatdoalef pigtail, lady's twist
and tig tobacco. He was rather astonished
at the rapidity with which the news had
spread. Klmballten was nearly sixty miles
distant in a straight line; tlie murder bad
been perpetrated only at eight o'clock the
preceding night ; yet Dominions had heard
etitat aeven in the morning, when, in all
probability, peer air. utggintieluaui'H own
lamlly had but Just discovered his corpe,
banging en the Sl Michael's pear tree. The
stranger en feet must have worn Bevon Beven
leaguo beets te travel at such a rate.
" 111 news Hies fast, they say," thought
DomlnlcusPike j " but thls'beats railroads.
The fellow euIit te be hired te go express
with the president' message."
The dllliculty was solved, by Buppeslnu
that the narrator hud made a mistake of ene
day in the date et the occurrence ; se that
our friend did net hesitate te introduce the
story at every tavern undceiintry store along
the read, expending a whole bunch of Span
ish wrappers among at least twenty herritied
audiences. He found himseil invariably the
llrst bearer of the intelligence, ami was he
pestered with questions that he could net
avoid filling lip the outliue till it became
quite a respectable narrative. He met with
one piece of corrubeiutlvo evidence. Mr.
Iligglnbetbam was u trader , and a former
clerk of bis te whom Deinlnlcus related the
facts, testified that the old gentleman was ac
customed te return home through tlie or
chard about nightfall with the money and
laluuble papers of the tttoieiuhis pocket.
The clerk manifested but little grlel at Mr.
Ulgginbetham's catastrophe, hinting, what
the peddler bad disco ered in his ou n deal
ings with blm, that he was a crust' old fel
low, as close us a ise. His property would
descend te a pretty niece w he w as new keep
lug school at Kiinballten.
What with telling the news for the public
geed, and driving bargains for his enu,
Deinlnlcus was e much delayed en the read
that he chose te put up at u tavern alieut live
miles uliert of Parker's Kails. Alter supper,
lighting one or his prime cigars, he heated
himself in the bar-room and went through
the story of the murder, which bad grown w
fast that it took him half an hour te tell.
There were as many as twenty people lu the
room, nineteen or whom received it all for
gospel. Hut the twentieth was an elderly
farmer, who bad arrived en horseback n
short time before and was new heated in a
corner smoking his pipe. When the story
wrb concluded he rose up very deliberately,
brought his chair right in Irontef Demiiucus
aad Htared him full In the face, pulling out
the vilest tobacce-smoko the peddler had
ever smelt.
"Will you inakeidlldavit," donuuided lie
ill the toueol a country Justice taking nn ex
amination, " that old Hquire HiggluUilham,
of Klmballten, was murdered In his erchaul

' X loll the story as I heard It. mister," an
swered Dominions, dropping ids half-burnt
cigar; "I don't My that I saw the thing
done. Se I cau't take my oath that he was
murdered exactly in that way."
"But I can take mine," said the farmer,
" that if Hquire Hfgglubethaii was murdered
night before last, 1 drank a glass or bilters
with his ghost this morning. lieing a
noignuer 01 mine, be called me Inte his store,

asked me te de a little business rer him en

about his own murder than I did."
" Why, then It can't be a fact 1" exclalmed
Dpminlcus Pike.
' 1 guess be'd have inontiened it, It It was,"
said the old farmer ; and he removed his
chair back te the corner, leaving Deininlcus
quite down in tlie mouth.

He deemed it advisable, hewever, net te be

Irnlti from a hearty laugh at the upreir

el the selcitincn would cuise the commit

Deinlnlcus was new en the Klmballten
turnpike, having all along determined te
visit that place, though business had drawn
him out or the most direct mid Irem Morris Merris
town. As he appreuthed the scene el the
supposed murder, he continued te revolve
the circumstances in his mind, and was as as
tenislied at the aspect which the whole case
assumed. Had nothing occurred te corrobo
rate the story of the llrst traveler it might
new have been considered as a hoax , but
the yellow man was evidently acquainted
cither with the report or the tact . and there
Mass mvstery in his dlsuiaved and guilty
leek en being abruptly questioned. When,
te this singular combination of Incidents, It
was add in! that the rumor tallied exactly
with Mr. Higginbelhaurs character and
habits of- lite , ami that he had au orchard
and a St. Michael's iear tree, near which he
always passed at nightfall . the circumstan
tial evidence apieared se strung that Douil Deuil
nlcus doubted whether the autograph pre
duced ey tue law jer, or even tne niece s di
rect testimony, ought te l equivalent.
Making cautious Inquiries along the read,
the peddler further learned thnt Mr. lliggin lliggin
betham had In his service an Irishman el
deubttul character, whom he had hired
without a recommendation, en the score el
economy.
"May l be hanged my -tdt," exclaimed
Demiuicus Pike aloud, en reaching the top
el a lonely hill, "If I'll belloveold Hlggln Hlggln
bethani Is unhanged till l see him with my
own eves and hear it from his own mouth '
And as he's a real shaver, I'll have the min
ister or some ether reseuslble man ler tin
inderser."
It was growing dusk when he reached the
tell-house u Kimbillteu turnpike, about u
quarter et a mile from the villaue of this
name. His little mare was fast brlngtug htm
up with a man ou horseback, who trotted
through the gate a tew reds In advance of
hint, nodded te the tell-githerer and kept en
towards the village. Deininlcus was ac
quainted with the telln.au, and while mak
ing change, the ttsuil lumarks ou the
weather fussed between them.
"I suppose," said the peddler, throwing
back bis whip-lash te bring it down liken
feather en thu mare's Hank, " veu have net
seen anything of old Mr. Higgiubetham
w lthin a day or tw e "
' ies," answered the tell gatheier. " He
passed the gate just befeie you drove up,
and yonder he rides new , if you can see hlui
through the dusk. He's been te Woedlield
this afternoon attending asberiH's sale there.
The old man generally shakes hands and has
u Uttlechat with me ; but te-night he nodded
as ir te My, ' l harge my tell 'and jogged

be at home by eight o'clock.''
" Se they tell me," said Deuilnlcus
"I never saw n ui.ni leek se yellow and
thin ns the squire does," continued the toll tell
gjtherer. ' Says l te myself te-uight he's
mere like a ghost or an old mummy than
geed tlesb and bleed."
The s.'ddler strained his eyes through the
twilight and could just discern the horseman
new tar ahead ou the village read. He
seemed te recognire the rear of Mr. lliggiu lliggiu
belham ; but through the eveuiug shadows
and umld the dust irem the horse's feet, the
tlgure appeared dim and unsubstantial, as if
tne sn,iH) et the mysterious old man was
lalutly meulded of darkness and gray light.
Deinlnlcus shivered.
"Mr. Hlgglnbethaiii has ceme back from
the ether world by way et tlie Klmballten

He shook the reuns aud rode lerward,
keeping about the jiun distance In the rear

ing this jsiiiit, the peddler no longer aw
the man en horseback, but found himself at
the bead or the village street, net lar from a
number or stores and two taverns clustered
round the mcntlng-heuse steeple. On his
left were a stone wall and a gale, the bound

Mr. Higgiubetham, whose dwelling steed
boside the old highway, but had been loll lu
the background by the Klmballten turn
pike. Demiuicus knew the place ; and the
llllle mare step.Ml short by instinct ; for he
was net loiiwieus el tightening the reins.
" Per the soul et me, l cannot get by this
gate !" said he, trembling. "I never shall
be my own man ugam till I soe whether Mr.
HiL'ginheih.uu is hanging en the .St. Mi

He leaped from tlie cait, gave the rein a

thoieuutry leek lovelier" Whoever has been
out through it the past week has seen such .1
bursting forth of nature as makes the blewl
course through the veins with new and
passionate linpul-e. The buds uie springmc
into le.it and blossom. The peach uud cherry
blosseui have overtaken the apricet: the
wheat fields aie uiagulllcent , the meadows
are bespangled with the golden dandelion,
iu the gardens the dalledils aud ether spring
(lowers aie all abloom and nothing gives
111010 lite te the landscape than the breuks
and cm k, lull te the bairks, that go leapiug
and sparkling dewia their courses, hurried
by the lulluess et their springs. It is re
marked by the eldest inhabitant that net for
thirty yeais bave the waters been se high or
the ground se will moistened. It is ceu-
tulciitly predicted that net a spring In 1111
cafcter county will tail tills year and fountains
are sending lerth streams new that were con

This phenomenal rising of the waters,
following continued heavy rams is, of course,
the rational explanation et the Heeding of
the F-ist King street cellars The old spriugs
that made the " Dark Hazel swamp" before
it was drained and cleared el wce J in 1T:

I de net knew whether or net in the
various Hillings and rouieval?, the house
cleanings and beuse warmings of City hall,
the old original minute ImjuU el the city
fathers has been lest. Itut, feitunately fur
our local history Mr. tea bteintuan et this
city has had a copy of it made, which he
cherishes with ether treasures el the local
antiquarian. The town, you knew, though
laid out by James Hamilton in 17.0 was riot
chartered until May 1, ITU, and the gram
of its corporation was tlien made, as it says
"te promote Trade, Industry, Hule ami
geed order amongst all our subjects of our
special grace" the "aid granter beiug ills
majeity, Geerge tlie Second, by th grace el
Ged, through Ins Lieutenant Governer
Geerge Themas, under Jehn, Themas and
Itichard Penn, esqs., preprietaries. 'I nemas
toekson, who was the tirst chief burgess,
was 11 man of nole and lived en Orange
street. Sebastian Gratl, the burgess, lived
ou the hind new occupied by the I aucister
cemetery and his family built Sheber's
hotel, as the Inscription en the stone iu front
teslllies. The assistant burgesses who made
the town ceuucil of that day were the lead
ing men or the place; and it is a coincidence
that the 11 ime attached te these first minutes
as dork is the samu ns that or tlie mayor el
UT, years later Geerge bandorsen, who, by
the way, was chiel executivoer the city a
longer ieried than any .ether man iu its
history, lsfiO-es ; next came Mr. Carpenter
who had eight ycrs, ISIJ-51.
The lirst municipal legislation had here,
alter thanks for the charter, as the local
historian has taken it Irem these old minutes,
was an erder prohibiting secular employ empley
incut en Lord's day, allowing butchers,
however, le kill en Sunday in June, July,
August they preserved no ice at that lime,
though nature made It all the s.11110 and in
structing the constables te search tlie public
neuses ler tipplers. 11 seems mat notvvlth netvvlth
standing the actor assembly it had bevoiue
"toeciistomnry for thoshep-keciKirs, tavern
keepers aud ethers within the borough te
ioiievv ineir ordinary callings ou tee sabbath
day, the ihoi-keepers by selling out their
goods 10 the country cople nnd the tavern
keepers eiitertalulug company , the butchers
also keeping open shops uud helling their
meat during the whule day." Prem that
tlme ou, us traced by the burgesses' pro
ceedings recorded in ibis minute book, the
town council legislated chlelly en matters of
domestic concern : and the study el them
has much curious Interest. "The llberty
taken by chapmeu licensed te travel with
goods for supplying the country, in bettlng
up stalls within this corporation particularly
at thu times of elections and court, and ex
posing tueir goods te sale," bad grown te be
a gross abuse, infringing "iqieii the rights
mid privileges el thu shop-keepers nnd a
great discouragement of people settling
here." Iloneo they were erdered out te tlie
country, te serve ieople "nt 11 distance from
towns nun siiep' ami warned miner penal

were sold them.
The regulation et lair week, the letting of
stalls, the prohibition el lacing ou thu btteets
and of galloping up and down the thorough
tares, live 1 veil 11 geed deal el attention from
these grave and reverend futlieis. When
the markets were established the country
