9(urder of a Philadelphian.
Sax Angels, April 7 th, 1848. ' )
Located 9 miles from the city of Mexico. $ •
On the 3d of. this month, at this place, Isaiah
Bender, a resident of Kensington,.Philadelphia, was
wilfully murdered by a member of the.S. Carolina
Regiment, by the name of Stanford. The deceased
was also a member of the same regiment. He
was beloved by all who knew him ; his remains
were escorted to his resting place by five regiments
of volunteers. The deceased has been in every
battle in this valley, even to the taking,of the city
of Mexico. He has been most faithful to the flag
of his country.
The hospitals containing the sick ui Col. Wyn
koop's division of volunteers are to be removed to
Jalapa. some 90 miles off Vera Cruz. They are
to leave with the train on the Sth of this month.
No news from Queretaro of importance. AYe are
looking anxiously for the speedy ratification of thb
treaty by the Mexican Congress.
The rainy season has set in at this place.
The Pennsylvania Regiment expect to be dis
banded very soon. The men are all in very good
health and fine spirits.
Explosion—Contl.iojution and Loss of Life.
—One of those terrible catastrophic** which some
times occur, frequently through .carelessness, and
often from causes impossible to control, took place
yesterday morning about 1u o'clock. The whole
neighborhood of- Fifth and .Market Streets was
shocked at that hour with an explosion that sound
ed not unlike an earthquake. Instantaneous with
the explosion we saw—for we happened to be pres
ent—the bricks and other, materials of the house
occupied by the pyrotechnist, (Timlin* f\ Williams,
on the southeast corner of' the alley running from
Vine to Lodge street, and between Fifth ai d 'Sixth
street, thrown in every direction, and the whole
interior and roof of the building enveloped in (lames.
Ihe workmen ol My. Williams were, engaged in
manufacturing lire works to be used on the goth
of next month lor the benefit of the Mechanic
Institute, and the probability is that some of the
combustible material became ignited during the
progress of the work, in a manner, no doubt, per
fectly imaiToutitabie. One of the vouug men.
i Henry Solomon, ol Lexington, busily engaged in
* sluMing rockets, was jootib when i!m llames were
extinguished. (It the loot ol the plans, his head, one

n| Faquir*' MudUmi. who' was in the alley at the
tilin', was injured a good deal by a portion ol the
• wall falling upon him ; he says that one ol his
mates was with him, a lilile closer loth** building,
and if so he mu>t have pf-ri»lmd. Air. Williams
was absent at the Tune, and his wile managed her
escape by jumping from a snamd .story hack win
dow, receiving no other injury but the dislocation
ol an ankle. A raster ol .Mrs. Williams lor herself
down from a second story window, and escaped
with some'slights hurts only. Capt. R. _M. .Moore
was hurt by a brick striking him on the arm. It
was providential that so few were injured when so
many were in the building, and 'hundreds were
passing backwards and forwards.— Cii":iiinuti En

Fit an k ness. —Re frank with the world. Frank
ness is the child of honesty and courage. Say just
what you mean to do on every occasion: and take
it for granted you mean to do what is right. It a
friend asks a favor, you should grant it. if it is rea
sonable; i( not. tell him plainly why you cannot.
You will wrong him and wrong yourself by equiv
ocation of any* kind. Never do a wrong thing to
make a friend nor to. keep one; the man who re
quires you to do so. is dearly purchased at a sacri
fice. Deal kindly but firmly with all men; you
will find it the policy which wears best. Above
all, do not appear to you are not. If
you have-any fault to find with any one, tell him;
not others, of what you complain. -There is no
more dangerous experiment than that of undertak
ing to be one thing to a man s face and another
behind his back. Wc should live, act, and speak
out of doors, as the phrase is, and say and do what
we are willing should be known and read by men.
It is not only best as a matter of principle, but as
a matter of policy-.'
Dwindling.—One of the most extensive swind
ling games that we have lately heard of. is that
reported in the New Orleans Daily Crescent, as
having been practised upon Mr. J M. Caballero,
an extensive segar importer, on Front Levee street.'
near the Custom House. At the last drawing of
the Grand Lottery at Ht&vana. Mr. Caballero had
occasion to notice the numbers of tickets drawing
prizes, and a few days after the lottery \va? drawn,
was called upon by a man having a g'ticket, which
had drawn a corresponding portion of a Sgfi.uiii'i
prize. The gentleman iu Mt. C. that
he was much iu want ~f money at that p.'utioulai
time, induced him to advance nearly the amount
winch the ticket, by 1 1 j** regular list ol prizes, pur
ported to hu\e drawn. Mr. Caballvi'n advanced
about SSUW on the ticket, anil sent it on to Ha
vana. It was in due coiir>e of time returned To
him. with the iiilunuatioti that it was a Joinery,
and that the prize had been paid on the genuine
ticker. The swindler had then disippe.uvd. and
has not since been heard from.

Sthikisg Fact.— The following fact speaks
volumes as to the prospects of England and the
United States:
“At the dedication of the Haneock School in
Boßton, Mr. Mann stated as an interesting-fact, that
for the last ten years, the expenditures of the’ ciyt
of Boston for schools were equal to the whole ex
penditure for schools in England, by the, govern

the citizens of Lancaster will not fail to be gratified
with these wonderful performances.

Ur. FtranlUin’s Opinion of Luck.
THE astonishing success of JOS. GORMELY,
in the CLOTHING BUSINESS, excites the
surprise of some and the envv and jealousy of
others His unparalleled success some attribute
to one cause, and some to another. And some,
more envious than the rest, attribute it to any cause
that best suits their purposes, no matter how unjust,
or how foul the misrepresentations. Again, there
is another class more easily satisfied, and content 1
themselves by sayitrg—“ Well, it is all luck—bettor,
to be born lucky than rich. Born under a lucky
planet,” &c, “ Pshaw says Dr. Franklin, of luck,
all the luck I know of is in proper management.”
Precisely so, Dr., and iust the operating cause in
the extensive business done at the great LANCAS
TER HALL QF FASHIONS. The only secret in
this large business, and the onlv reason that it is
large, is because he is careful in the selection of
good materials, and has all his goods well made —
and then the fitoi his garments cannot be surpassed;
and are sold at prices that defy competition. This
is the cause of his astonishing success at the great
LANCASTER HALL OF FASHIONS, N. Queen
St . Lancaster; next to J. Gish & Co.'s Book Store
and the National House. [May 9, '4S.-tf-lh.
