SPRING.
BY' J. R. BARRICK
The winter winds and storms are past,
The surly blasts aro blown,
The voice of Spring is heard at last,
In blithe and joyous tone y
The little streams, from frost set free,
With gladdening music sing;
The south winds come with songs of glee
To welcome in the Spring.
The heart of earth its foliage wide
Unfolds like summer’s rose ;
Through wood and stream a quickening tide
Of life and beauty flows ;
The light of May is on the sky,
Its sunshine on the wing,
While'winter’s shades and shadows tly
To welcome in the Spring.
The flowers are gently springing up
On hill-side and on lawn,
The daisy and the buttercup,
Breathe in the balm of morn ;
The rills and brooks soft answer make
To birds on Roaring wing,
The mingling strains of nature wake
To welcome in the Spring.
I lift me to the cheering song
Of robin .and the wreri,
The mocking bird and jocund throng
Of warblers in the glen ;
The winds and zephyrs too, rejoice,
While every living thing
On earth outpours a grateful voice
Tjo welcome in the Spring.

Adventures of a Printer.
By the Cherokee we received a letter, dated at 1
Honolulu, Sandwich Islands, Jan. 1, ISSO, from an
old friend and fellow printer, whose adventures
have been so much out of the common order that
we extract a part of his letter for the amusement
of our readers. The writer left New York in 1 Mu,
as a full private in Col Stevenson's regiment. Af
ter the wars were over, he remained in California,
where he was employed by Gen Vallejo. as a <ar
jKnter at the timethe gold mines were discovered.
He of course look his chances at gold digging, but
soon abandoned the business. When we last'heard
from him (previous to the letter -received on Fri-
was one of the publishers of the Califurman.
He wtites that he soon abandoned this speculation.
He concludes his adventures for the present by be
ing wrecked one day on Honolulu, and marrying
the daughter of the chieT of the village on the lol
lowing Sunday. But let him speak lor himself.—
Trenton SLate Gaz.
“The paper was slow to pay in those times, so I
sold out jnv interestand gained one or two thous
and dollars, which.l spenti Speculated a little,
however, and did well—lailed in some things, hut
made up on others.
“On the l .*th of October last, in company with 7,
I left San Francisco on a visit to the “Btautilul
Islands/’ intending alterwards to sail to China,
make our way over land to Russia, where I have
an uncle, and thence to England, where I could
take passage lor home. On the 28th at noon,, when
we were within two leagues of the harbor of Hon
olulu, it came to blow a gale. We stood off, and
succeeded in worrying out the gale, but just as we
were entering the mouth of the harbor it came on
to blow verv hard from the northwest, and in five
minutes we were- hard and fast on the shore. I
rushed to my chest lor my dimes, and had barely
time to secure tjiem when the hull parted, keeled
over, and filled. I secured a spar, and clung to it
and the dust, like “grim death to a deceased Afri
can.”
“After being in-the water about three quarters
of an hour, lashed by the surf and bruised by the
spar, 1 gained the shore. I kissed the earth where
1 first stepped, and determined never to leave it.—
Having Go pounds of gold dust about my person,
beside three or four hundred dollars,in gold coin, I
was completely exhausted, arid turned in for the
night (for night it -began to be) under a cocoa nut
tree, where I slept soundly until J 2 or 1 o'clock,
when I awoke so stiff with cold and sore from my
bruises that 1 could scarcely move. To my great
joy I discovered a lire about half a mile to the west.
It proved to be a village of the natives (Kanakas)
who, on learning (by signs) my misfortune, stirred
up the fire, gave me some boiled pork,' bread, fruit,
yams, and a variety of eating matter. After 1 had
disposed of this I turned in on some mats, where 1
slept soundly.until sunrise, when I arose.
“After I hffd made my toilette I was introduced
to the chief of the village. He is of high rank and
much respected. His name is Kanni, and he is re
lated to the King of the Islands. He was very po
lite, spoke English fluently, offered me a house,
some land, and his daughter in marriage, if I w-ould
live with his tribe and instruct them, as far as 1
was able, in the arts of civilization. I thanked him
lor his offer and told him that I would think over
the matter.
“After this interview 1 went down to the beach,
accompanied by a party of the natives, to look af- j
ter the wreck, but nothing could be seen save the j
spar on which I came ashore. When I discovered ;
the sad result of the storm, I sat down on the beach j
and wept like a child. I had lost ihe only friends i
that I have had since I left home. But tears are j
of no avail, so I made up my mind to bear it, and !
to accept tKe offer of the chief and become his son.!
I accordingly, on my return tcpthe village, informed |
the chief that I would accept his offers He imme .
diately introduced me to the fair one. Her name |
is Niaara (Mary.) ‘ l
“She is of light copper color, fourteen years oldfl
five feet four inches high, small hand and foot, black
hair and eyes, and above all, very affectionate.—
Her dress consisted of a faded blue satin skirt, com
ing no lbwer«4han the knee, moccasins and leggings,
and a curiously wrought bead head-dress. She was
by no means bashful, and none too modest. She
sat on my knee and kissed me, and when I asked
her if she would marry me, she said* yes, without
the slightest hesitation, and expressed a wish that
the ceremony should take place on the following
Sunday, saying that a missionary would be there on
that day. This I agreed to, when she rewarded me
with a kiss, and ran off to her father.
“The following day I visited the capital and pur
chased the wedding dresses for my lady and my-
together with some presents for the tribe, and
on Sunday “we twain were made one flesh.”
“On Monday my father-in-law, at my request,
set several men at work at getting out cocoa-nut
logs to build my house, and m the course of ten
days a very substantial dwelling, 40 feet front, 25
feet-deep, and 25 feet high, was completed. This
is-the only building of the kind in the village, all
the others being built of reeds and mud. The chiel
iff-very much pleasetf with it, and I hope that with
in a .year the whole village will -be of log houses.
I have offered to furnish axes and all other tools,
and I think the natives will build themselves better
houses.
“I am perfectly contented with my situation, and
think that mine is a peculiarly happy lot. Alter
so long a struggle with the world—poor as a rat—
stickirtg type for a living— to be cast ashore with
a pocket full of rocks among friendly savages, in
this lovely climate.”

THE DOUBLE TRIAL,.
A STORY OF CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
For many years, Sir James Fanshawe, Bart, of
ancient family and large estates, had resided at
Abbey, about seven miles from the county
town. He was a widtiwer, and bad but-one child,
a beautiful and accomplished daughter, who, upon
his decease, (she being just 21 years of age,) be
camesole possessor of his property, and also con
tinued to dwell at the same .place. Shortly after
her father's death, Miss Fanshawe benevolently
adopted as her companion a distant relative—a
high-born young Irish lady, named Eveleen O'Neill,
who had just been left, not merely fortuneless, but
a totally friendless orphan.
On the day of the Assizes at a well-known coun
ty town in England, this young female, Eveleen
O'Neill, was brought into the dock under an
accusation of having murdered Miss Fanshawe.—
The accused' was tall, graceful, modest and beauti
ful, with large dark eyes, features deadly pale, qui
vering lips, and her hands lightly pressed betore
her.
It was ch rged that this orphan cousin, this de
pendent, deliberately murdered her benefactress,
tempted by mercenary motives, Miss Fanshawe
having previously made a will, leaving her prop
erty to Eveleen, in Cate she should die unmarried.
The principal evidence introduced was the butler,
named Collins. He stated that “ a lew minutes
alter four o'clock, on the morning of the 28th ol
July, he was aroused from his sleep by repeated
violenf screams, issuing apparently from the sleep
ing room o( his mistress. In great alarm, he par
tially dressed, and hurried as quickly as he possi
bly could towards that room. The door stood
slightly ajar, and pushing it smartly open, he
crossed the threshold, and was horrified by what
he immediately saw. On the carpet, by the side
of the bed, lay the body of his mistress, in her
night-dress, bathed in blood. Kneeling close to
her was the prisoner at the bar, with her left hand
resting on her mistress' boSom, and her right up
lifted with a small drawn dagger, which was appa
rently about to be plunged in his mistress’ body.—
Both the dagger and the hand which held it were
Jripping with blood.” A shudder of horror agita
ted the whole court at this part of the deposition ;
and the accused sank her head between her hands,
groaning heavily. The examination proceeded :
Mr. Collins—Will you here describe the exact
position in which your mistress Jay when you first
saw’ her ' Witness—She was stretched out upon
her back, her knees drawn up some feet from the
carpet, which, being a loose one, was ruffled on a
heap under and around her, as though a great
struggle had taken place. Her head lay on one
side, with the right cheek resting on the carpet,
ar.d her hair was torn from underneath her cap,
and bung backward over her head. Mr. Collins—
You say that the prisoner was kneeling by her
side, and holding a dagger, which you thought she
was about to plunge Mn your mistress’ breast f
Witness—Yes. Mr. Collins—And there was quite
sufficient daylight for you to see, with perfect dis
tinctness, the objects you have described'* Witness
—»Yes. Mr. Collins—Now, sir, on your oath, was
the point of that dagger directed downwards *—
With considerable hesitation, the witness confessed
that he could not speak positively in this respect.
With regard to the chamber, no time w’as lost in
making a strict and well conducted examination of
the apartment; and the result was, that several
most extraordinary matters were brought to light.
The bed in which the ill-fated slept, was
completely saturated with blood, and the sheets
tumbled and twisted in a way that clearly eviden
denced that she must have lought hard; with the
murderer. By passing the curtains aside, Miss
Fanshawe could reach the pull of a bell, hanging
in her own maid's room, and so summon her at
any moment she. required. This bell-pull was
found carefully tied around the adjoining bed post,
completely out of the sleeper’s reach. This ajipa
rently-indicated two important facts: first, that the
murder must have been a deliberately planned
affair ; secondly, that it must have been committed
by some one intimately acquainted with the apart
ment. On the victim's body being examined, it
was found that she was stabbed in nine different
parts: and her hands and arms were also gashed
in many places, in a way that showed how despe
rately she must have lought for life. . On the bed
was found a very large lock ol hair torn up by the
roots.
The hair was first thought to be Misff Fanshawe’s
own: but, on*examination,TTtme was tom from her
head; neither did‘the lock correspond in the least
with hers, either in color or in length. This was
also the case with Eveleen ; and, after the most
patient investigation at the inquest, all concerned
unanimously admitted the inexplicable fact, that
this lock of woman's hair was neither the murdered
lady's nor that of the accused. Eveleen herself gave
the following voluntary explanation of the position
in which she was found :
l was aroused from my sleep, by hearing what
I conceived to be a struggle, mingled with smoth
ered screams, going on in the sleeping apartment
of Miss Fanshawe. I listened and hearing a scream'
still more distinctly, and also what 1 thought lobe
a cry for help, I hesitated r.ot a moment in hurry
ing towards the room. As I approached the door,
which was at the end of a long corridor, and at a
considerable distance from the sleeping room of
any one else, my own chamber being the nearest
to it, I heard vyhat I thought to 'be the voices of
individuals hurriedly conversing: but when I reach
ed the door, which Miss Fansbawe never locked, I
found it slightly open, and, on entering, I found her
lifeless body on the floor, in a pool of blood. There
were no persons visible in the room. I screamed
repeatedly at the sight, and in dreadful agitation,
sank on my knees, and then fell across the body,
by which 1 became besmeared with the blood of
my dear murdered friend, whom I loved as myself.
On arising, I happened to see a dagger, and lifted it
up by the end of the blade, hardly knowing what I
did. At this moment the butler entered the room.
The defence of counsel was unavailing: a sentence
ol guilty Was rendered, and Eveleen—although sub
sequently found to be innocent—was executed.
At the very next Assizes, a man, who was sur
rounded by an appalling mystery, was accused of
being the sole perpetrator of the deed. Circumstan
tial evidence brought the act home to him, with
conviction to the minds of all men, and he was
also sentenced, but anticipated his doom, and poi
soned himself in prison, by the aid of a female ac
complice, leaving the following confession behind
him :
“ In a few moments 1 shall be dead, and I now
write all I wish to say, and >s >vhatever my life has
been, or whatever my religious notions are, all
men may believe every word I here write to be
the solemn truth. lam innocent of the murder of
Miss Fanshawe, and I have not the remotest idea
who murdered her. The night she was murdered
I was many miles distant, and this I could have
proved on my trial, but I could not have done so,
without conlessing that I was engaged that night
in committing a murder, but where or on whom
will never be known. My hands ,\vere cut in the
death grapple, and my clothes smeared with blood.
As to the witnesses who asserted they saw me
lurking about the Abbey grounds, they either wil
fully lied or were mistaken by my resemblance to
another, The dagger with which Miss Fanshawe
was murdered really was mine, although I denied
it on my trial, being desirous to make the best of
my chance of acquittal. As deposed on my trial.
1 was in the habit of carrying it about me, but I
lost it a week before the murder was committed,
near to the Abbey, and I have no doubt the real
murderer picked it up, and'used it as the instru
ment of the deed. What my real name, rank, or
country is—who I am, or what I have been—l will
never tell. That secret, and many others, perish
with me.''
It appears, then, that the latter was not guilty,
from the death-bed confession made by an old wo
man, the substance of which is as follows
“ She said; that 44 years by-gone, she had lived
as lady’s maid with Miss Fanshawe, of Abbey,
and that lady having several times scolded and*
threatened to discharge her for gross neglect of her
duties, an awful spirit of revenge took possession
of her, and she determined to murder her mistress.
While pondering the matter over, shf happened to
find a dagger (that left by Roderick Madden) near
to the park palings. Aboat a week afterwards, she
murdered her mistress with this very dagger, and
being disturbed by the approaching footsteps df
Eveleen O Neill, who heard her death-struggle, she
hurried back to her own chamber, leaving the dag
ger behind ter. She had on at the time only a
CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 23, 1850.
thin night dress, which being sprinkled with blood,
she hid, and hastily washing her hands and face,
put on a clean one. Then, when the alarm was
given by the butler, she joined the rest of the fami
ly in rushing to the apartment of the murdered
lady, and was loudest of any in her outcries and
lamentations. She said, that when she saw the
turn the affair had taken by shifting all suspicion
from herself to Eveleen, she no longer felt any fear
of detection. She availed herself of an early oppor
tunity to burn her gory night dress, which she ea
sily effected, at the kitchen fire during the great
confusion of the morning.”
She actually bad the hardihood to attend the
trial of Eveleen, and when the counsel for the lat
ter uttered the remarkable expression, that perhaps
the-real murderer was then present, she felt leady
to die away, but soon recovered—and she after
wards beheld the execution of Eveleen without
experiencing an atom of remorse, either for her
death, or that of the first victim. From that time
forward, she, in her own words, became and con
tinued emphatically “a child of Hell!” Very soon
after Eveleen's execution, she married a soldier,
and accompanied him to India. Subsequently she
travelled over various parts ol the world, arid com
mitted sin upon sin, and wicked deed upon wicked
deed, beyond the capability of her memory to sum
up. At length she felt an irresistable prompting
to drag her worn .out frame to the locality, of her
first fearful crime, and there, finding herself nigh
unto death, she determined to unburthen herself of
a relation of that deed, and accordingly did so as
related.
Letter from Professor Webster’s
Daughter.
The following lettei is published in the Man
chester Messenger. It will be read with jrainlu)
interest •
Daniel. Marsh, Esq.: —Sir—l this morning re
ceived the very kind letter you addressed to me,
and which I hasten to answer, to thank you, in the
name of my mother, my sisters and myself for the
true sentiments you entertain respecting my be
loved lather. You believe him innocent, and you
believe what is true. He is the victim of circum
stances, a deeply injured man. That he is innocent,
we his family know , and nothing on earth will ever
take from us this conviction. We have never, from
the moment he was snatched from his home, had a
shadow of doubt on our minds; and whatever the
world may say or do, we shall ever have that feel
ing to support us. The knowledge of his innocence
supported my father during the hours of suffering
in the court room ; that it is that gives him and us
calmness now, amidst the many sources of sorrow
that have overwhelmed us.
Far different from what we anticipated, was the
result of the trial; for we had been assured through
out the winter that our father could not but be re
stored to us, and that at the trial he must receive
justice for the many wrongs that had been heaped
upon him. But justice fled from the court room,
and prejudice took her place.
Yet hope still lingers with us, lor we trust that
the public voice will be raised against the gross
injustice that has been committed, and will not
allow our country to bear such a stignia on her
name, such an everlasting stain, as will be that of
the sacrifice ol one so truly innocent as my father.
And if one word from us, sir, can add a feather's
weight to the efforts that are being made, oh, mav
we give you the deep assurance of our hearts, that
we feel grateful for the interest that you express
and feel, and for what you are doing in our behalf.
May ,God, in his infinite mercy, look down upon
you. and bless the efforts that are being made, and
il it is not his will to bring the truth to light, and
to allow ihis awful mystery to be explained, may
he enlighten the minds of those into whose hands
’he case will pass.
1 must.again thank you, sir, lor the kind feeling
you express towards my dear father. Nothing that
the world can do now gives us greater consolation
than the knowledge that others believe him inno
cent. Sympathy has flowed abundantly from many
hearts towards us, his family : but how much more
prized by us is that sympathy, when expressed for
him. That our beloved father inay be restored to
us, is the fervent prayer of our hearts, and we wait
tremblingly in the hope that those who are now
to decide in this case may see the terrible injustice
that has been committed, and has inflicted so much
suffering on so many.
Believe, me, sir, gratefully yours,
The Case of Dr. Webster.
Ihe statement said to have originated with Dr.
Beecher, of Boston, in respect to his version of the
“Medical Student story," is attracting the attention
of the Boston press.
The Traveller has the following:—
“ We are requested by Dr. Beecher to say, that
since the statement referred to in our last, he has
further investigated the matter, at the request of
the friends of Dr. Parkman, and found that the
facts were these : —During the week after the dis
appearance of Dr. Parkman. lights were seen by
the persons referred to, on a number of evenings, in
the laboratory of Dr. Webster, at very late hours :
in one instance at about midnight; all of which
was so unusual as to excite particular attention.—
But Tio spy glass was used, and no body and no person
was seen in the laboratory. During the following
week, when the laboratory was in the care of the
police officers, an attempt was frequently made,
by means of a spy glass, To distinguish bbjects and
persons within, but entirely without success. Noth
ing could be discovered but the fact that there were
lights, and that indistinguishable persons sometimes
seemed to be passing before the windows. The
statement of the Attorney General was, not that
the evidence at first supposed to exist was inadmis
sible, but that it would be of little, if any weight,
since the objects would be seen through media,
and the windows of the laboratory were so dimmed
with dust and dirt of various kinds, as to be some
what like ground glass. It now appears that jio
such evidence in fact existed. We are also reques
ted to state that on the subject of the student sup
posed to have seen Dr. Webster with the body of
Dr. Parkman, Dr. Beecher knows nothing. No
student ever spoke to him on the subject, nor did
he ever consult the Attorney General with refer
ence to it. We did not intend to imply that it had
any connection with a student; but supposed it to
be the origin of the student-story.*
The Boston Bee, copjingthe statement of Dr.
Beecher, adds-
We can tell Dr. Beecher that there is nothing
very secret about what Mr. Smith saw. We could
have Told our readers the same story long ago, with
the additional statement that the same gentleman
saw a light in Dr. Webster’s t room, not only on
Friday, but also on Saturday, Sunday, and other
nights, during the week succeeding the disappear
ance of Dr. Parkman, but we deemed them unim
portant when compared with existing facts not yet
made public, and which in due time will satisfy all
doubters who murdered Dr. Geo. Parkman.
In a recent number of the New York Sun the
following paragraph appeared. To what can -it
have allusion 1
We have been made acquainted with the pat tic
ulars of an occurrence bearing directly upon the
•Parkman murder in Boston, which will probably
prove of the greatest importance. The matter is
now undergoing a searching examination by an in
telligent member ol one ol our police courts, and
when completed, the result will be forwarded to
one of Dr. Webster's counsel. The facts of the
case we shall place beiore our readers as soon as
their publication can be made without injury to
the result of the inquiry now being instituted.

PATENT METALLIC PAINT,
Manufactured by Wake Co. Mining Company.
Fob the Protection and Preservation of
Wood axd Metals from Fire, Decay
and Oxipatios.
THIS PAINT has its basis in the Metal of Car
bon, the most indestructible substance known
in nature. Neither acids ol any kind, nor fire act
upon it in its pure state. The Metallic Paint has
nothing combustible in it except the oil with which
it is combined, and the union of the oil with the
metal (being both Carbons) is so perfect, that the
cearacter of incombustibility is communicated to
the compound, so as to afford a pefect protection
to any wooden roof, or other wooded labric covered
by it, from ignition by sparks or flakes of fire driven
by the wind.
The Paint is therefore specially adapted-to the
protection ol roofs, and wooden buildings of any
kind, exposed to the action of sparks, or other
flying ignited matter, in cities and towns and along
the lines of rail roads, or wherever exposed to snch
action.
2. It forms, when applied to iron, a perfect pro
tection against oxidation or rust, whether the iron
be exposed to the atmosphere as in railing, or
buildings of any kind, buried under the earth, as in
water or gas pipes, or ajloat in ships or vessels of
any description, upon salt or fresh water.
3. Applied to metallic roofs, such as tin, or zinc,
it prevents corrosion, and by its tenacity unites the
joints, rendering them perfectly water tight, and
securing them against injury, from the causes that
render their renewal necessary every few years.
4. The Paint is also a non conductor of electricity,
and prevents metal or wood covered with it from
this fluid.
5. It is specially adapted to the protection of
marine vessels, whether of iron or wood, against
the fluids to which they are exposed in many ports,
or upon the ocean at large.
6. It also protects the surface of timbers and
wood from the action of the atmosphere and from
decay, whether laid upon or buried in the earth, as
in the timbers of rail roads, wharves and the like,
or in any other condition of exposure.
7. If wood is intended to be painted with any
fancy colors, a covering of the Metallic Paint in the
first place, would give it the security and protection
above explained, and will furnish a very smooth and
beautiful serface for the reception of any other
color.
S. It has. been applied to plastered walls as a pro
tection against damp, where every other application
had proved ineffective, and thus covered, they were
found to be entirely impervious to the moisture that
before had penetrated them.
This Paint, heretofore prepared by J. Weisman
& Co., will hereafter be manufactured and sold by
the Wake County Mining Company, (of which Mr.'
W. is a member,) who are making extensive arrange
ments for the constant and steady supply of the
greatly increasing demand for it.
Every information respecting its use can be had
by applying at the office.
It may be proper to add here, that the roof ol the
Insane Hospital, near Philadelphia, has been cov
ered with it. Before the application of the Paint
the roof (of zinc) leaked, was defective from cor
rosion, and was about to be taken off and renewed.
A single coat of the Paint has rendered it water
tight, sound, and quite as good, if not better, than
ever.
Also, the American Hotel, on Chesnut street, and
the Assembly Buildings, and other properties, be
longing to the estate of Jacob Ridgway, deceased,
and se.veral houses and stores owned by Matthew
Newkirk, Thos. Dunlap, Frederick Brown, George
W. Edwards, Thomas Bowman,and John ThornJy,

ufacturer of Paints, all ot Philad’a. The Trenton
Bridge Company, Garret D. Wall, Esq., of Burling
ton, and many others, to whom reference can be had.
The color of the Paint is a dark slate, but can be
furnished of a jet black without deterioration. It
combines more of body than any other Paint known,
and equal weights will spread over nearly double
the surface of White Lead.
