Coin. vs- John Markley. Selling liquors
to minors. .The' defendant live.s . at May
town. On trial at the time the Court ad
journed:
Monday Afternoon.—The jury ' re
turned a verdict of guilty "in the case of
John Markley for sellingliquors to minors.
Some mitigating circumstances were con
nected with the case and therefore the sen
tence was light, which V..ras to paY ten dol
lars tine and undergo ten days' imprison
ment. •
Corn. vs. Martha Oakey alias Brown,
charged with assault and battery with
intent to kill. On the 6th of April, I.B6,'the
defendant, it appearS, became belligerent
and attacked Elizabeth Smith with a razor,
cutting her throat but not reaching the
jugular. The assault was without much
apparent cause. Both parties are denizens
of the classic locality of Tow Hill in Colum
bia, and of very dark complexions. The
plea of the defence was that she was crazy
when she attempted the act, having just
recovered from a fever which injured her
mind, and made her act foolish in many
ways, such as imagining herself pursued
by children, laughing immoderately with
out apparent reason, and altogether upset
in the "upper story." It appeared that
liquor aggravated her complaint and pro
duced the attack upon her bosom friends,
who never hesitated in taking a drink with
her, as they were all capable of swallowing
a good deal of the juice of the rye. Her
language aLso assumed a strong emphasis
.on the occasion, not very pleasing to lovers
of the more subdued King's English ; she
was also suspicioned of getting an occa
sional attack of the mania pain, and at
tempted to commit suicide in the:walls of the
jail, which place enclosed her fragrant form
previous to trial. The testimony however
was very strong against her, it appearing
that her mind was not out of the way at the
time she engaged in the affray, the wit
nesses not:having noticed anything wrong
about her immediately previous or subse
quent to the suit.• She was thought com
petent to run about and make purchases of
liquor, her common beverage, and was con
sidered a reasonable being in all respects.
She was found guilty of one of the charges
and sentenced to ten month's imprison
ment, fine, &c.
Com. vs. Gt.:isle Windier. Assault and
battery on a small boy by the name of
Tonor, aged between S and 9 years. His
mother, who lives in Mulberry street, testi
fied that Mrs. Windier, her neighbor, struck
her child twice on the back with stones
without any cause. The child was not pro
duced in court as his mother said he was
unwell. The boy it was alleged was in his
own yard at the same time and not to Mrs.
W's, which was argued also as a tresspass.
The defence was that the boy was very mis
chievous, breaking off the pails from the
fence and entering into Mrs. Windler's
property, destroying her tomatoes, ,Cc. lie
was engaged in this business when she
spied him and pursued him, but committed
no assualt. Mrs. W's character was also
pronounced very good by a number of the
neighbors, they saying that she was a quiet,
inoffensive person and good neighbor.
Tuesday Merging.—A verdict of not guilty
with county for costs, was rendered in the
case of the assault of Mrs,. Windier, on the
small boy named Toner.
Com. vs, Hiram Shank, charged with the
involuntary manslaughter of H. D. Good,
at Marticville, last falL In this case the
panel of jurors was exhausted, on account
of the challenges made, and a special venire
was issued, summoning a new panel. This
process occupied nearly all the morning and
the Court adjourned till the afternoon.
LANCASTER HORSE MARKET-MONDAY
May 22.—The arrivals and sales during thj
past week were slim, and the trade appears
to have received a check for the present.
Trout's.—The arrivals were 15 head,
brought in by Phil. Morgret, from Bed
ford county, 14 head of which were sold to
D. M. Btkrp Co., and one outside. 15
head were sold to Gallagher, of Philadel
phia, and shipped. 26 head remain on hand.
FuNK's. 4 -The arrivals were Christian
Miller, with 13 head, from Ohio; Luther
Spiehlman, with 9 head, from Franklin
county, and Geo. Welsh, with 12 head, from
Ohio. Five were sold to several parties in
this county, and there remains on hand 41
head.
COPELAND Lt.' CLINE' s.—The arrivals were
john- , Wolgamuth, with 13 head, from the
West, and 9 head bought up in the county.
No sales'or shipments during the week. 27
head on hand.
TOBACCO PACRING.—We would call at
tention to the advertisement of Jacob Evans,
which appears in another column. There
is no doubt of thd• correctness of the state
ment there made, that by lying over a sea
son tobacco will lose more in value than
would twice pay the price of packing. Mr.
Evans has had much experience in the busi
ness, and has been engaged in preparing for
market the last year's crop of some of our
largest producers. ii.ll who have employed
him have been entirely satisfied with his
method, and regard it as decidedly superior.
SUNDAY SCHOOL STATISTICS.—The fol
lowing report of D. W. Harlan, State Su
perintendant of Missionary Work of the
American Sunday School Union, was read
before the Sabbath School Convention held
in St. Paul's Reformed Church in this cit 3 ,
on Thursday last, has been handed to us
for publication:
A careful canvass of Lancaster Co. gave
the following Sunday School statistics for
the year ending January Ist, 1864;
Whole number of Schools. ~ 154
Number keeping open during the
whole year 67
Number keeping open during part
.of the year 86
Whole number of scholars enr011ed...12,295
Average attendance of these 9,941
Number in school keeping: open the
whole year
Number in school keeping open part
of the year •
A comparison of above numbers with the
number of children and youth in the county
as given in the census report of 1860,
.gives
the following results:
Number of children and youth in the
county • 88,771
Whole number not enrolled in any
Sunday School 26,476
Number usually out of Sabbath
; School 28,830
Number •out of Sabbath School in
winter 21,345

INTERESTING ABOUT UMBRELLAS.—On
the 11th inst., Alderman Shoemaker,. of
Philadelphia, held a man named Wilson to
'bail in the sum of $3OO to 'answer at Court
the charge of appropriating an umbrella
that did not belong to him. This informa
tion will, no doubt, be interesting to those
numerous persons who seem;,to imagine
that umbrellas do. not cost anything and'
that " nobody doesn't own them," It is
interesting to us, also, who have lost
sevopid. of that kind, pfproperty, lately, for
we can now get at leaSt satisfaction on the
• thieves. • '

.A.. GOOD JOEL , ON LANCA.SiSIL—A good -
joke was lateltplayedeff on the Lancaster
cops, by some of native wags of that
political benighted region. The story was
circulated that l lett. Davis`would be canted
through t r lio prtiai a ralliekd „traini . And

SWIDT, Old Buck, Dr. Carpenter, Wooly
'Kautz, and a few kindred cops were in
waiting with their hearts in their hands, to
condole with Jeff:on the unconstitutionality
of his arrest,- and 'to. join with • him in
denouncing " our Government" for so re
lentleasly pursuing women and children-
But, alas, for

We late to spoil "a good joke on Lan

pimp of parity, honesty,-virtue aial loyalty,

twee Hessian sheet. Not one of the gentle
tnegrattined in the above item was present
at, the depot, and but one or two of them
knew`ardthirag of the joke played off on a
good,natuied Republican auctioneer and
bellman by two or three, tiagi.of this city.
The truth of the matter is, that mostly the
only persons sold were Republicans, a
number of whom eagerly flocked to the
depot "to see ' the stern statesman' in petti
coats." Cannot the Tele-LIE-graph get up
some other equally funny "good joke on
Lancaster?"
To KEEP BUTTER LIN WARM WEATHER.
—A simple mode of keeping butter in warm
weather where ice is not handy. Invert
common flower-pot over the butter, with
sume water in the dish in which the butter
is laid. The orifice at the bottom may. he
corked or not. The porousness or the
earthenware will keep the butter cool. '
MAILS FOR THE SOUTIL—The Post Office
Department having lately reopened the
offices in the following places, mails are
now despatched to them from the office in
this city: Richmond, Va., Petersburg, Va.,
Wilmington, N. C., Charleston, S. C.,'Sa
vannah, (=a., Mobile, Ala. Arrangements
are being made to re-establish the offices in
other large cities and towns in the South.
Qt Ettv?—Why is it that the good peo
ple of Lancaster are so villainously imposed
upon in the extravagant price they are
forced to pay for the article of flour? In
Philadelphia, yesterday, we see extra su
perfine, kindly equal to the beat we get in
Lancaster county,) quoted at $6.75(7,35
an average of about $7 per barrel; whilst
here we are compelled to pay from . $lO to
$ll ! Is there no remedy for this outrage
ous extortion? Would it not be well for
householders to get their flour from Phila
delphia? They could have it delivered here
iat about ;:7.50, thus saving at least $3 upon
every barrel, and then it would be an in
spected article front which good breadcould
be made. I hope my neighbors will think
of this, and no longer suffer themselves to
be swindled by flour dealers and heartless
speculators in the staff of life.
A SUFFERER
THE THIRD SERIES OF SEVEN-THIRTIES.
—The great success of the 7-30. Loan must
always he looked upon as one of the most
powerful evidences of the strength of the
United States Government, and of its strong
hold upon the confidence and affections of
the people. On Saturday, May 13th, the
subscriptions were over thirty millions dol:
lays, and for the week ending on that day,
over ninety-eight million dollars, and in the
three months that Loan has been in charge
of Mr. Jay Cooke, over jive hundred million
dollars. These large receipts will enable
the Secretary of the Treasury to pay
off our armies as they are disbanded, and
to rapidly discharge the various obligations
that have been incurred during the war.—
History will show that a great war-debt to
!individuals has never before been so
promptly paid ; and we think all will agree
that Mr. McCulloch deserves great credit
for the ability he has manifeste, not only
in securing the means, but for the financial
skill he has displayed in so directing these
vast receipts and disbursements as not for
a moment to disturb the equilibrium of
commerce, embarrass individuals, or in
any way tighten the :money market.—
It is doubtless true that the Secretary
of the Treasury might have negotiated the
remainder of his loans at six percent. inter
est instead of 7.30, but so much valuable
time would necessarily have been lost in
popularizing a new loan that the great
object of the Government, viz: an immedi
ate supply of money sufficient to pay all
the debts incident to the war, would have
been defeated; and besides, the difference
of interest would not have been equal to
three days' expenses. The policy may have
looked " penny wise," but the best financial
authorities, as well as common sense, pro
nounced it "pound foolish." As it is and
will be, no soldier will go home without his
greenbacks, and the floating debt in the
shape of vouchers and requisitions, cttc., will
be wiped out as rapidly as the proper offi
cers can audit and adjust the accounts.
The Second Series Of the 7.30 Loan was ex
hausted on Saturday, May 13th. On Mon
day the Secretary of the Treasury authoriz
ed Jay Cooke, the general Subscription
Agent for U. S. Securities, to receive sub
scriptions for $230,000,000 of a Third Series,
which is all that is authorized by Congress,
and is without doubt the last loan at this
high rate of interest that will be offered by
the Government.
There is no change in the terms or condi
tions of this Third Series, except that the
Government reserves the right of paying
interest at six per cent. in gold instead of
seven and three-tenths in currency—aright
which would pre-suppose a return to specie
payments, and make six per cent. in gold
even better than the higher rate in currency
—a consummation most devoutly to be
wished.
The privilege of converting the notes into
5.2,0 six per cent. gold bonds at the end of
three years, or receiving payment at matu
rity, at the holder's option, is retained.
The first day of the Third Series opened
with a subscription within a fraction of five
millions, and the month of June will cer
tainly see the last of the 7.30 s out of market.
How early in Juno we cannot predict, but
parties who wish to make sure of a portion
would do well to be in time.
Full particulars may be found in our ad-.
vertising columns.

From Mexico
The latest accounts from the Mexican
side of the Rio Grande show that all is
confusion along that river, owing to the
presence in the vicinity of Matamoros
of both Republican and Imperial forces.
A fight for the possession of the town
had taken place, but with what result
has not yet been ascertained, though"
there have been rumors both that the
Republicans had captured it and that
they had retreated from before it. Busi
ness, however, there, as well as at Bag—
dad, was at a complete standstill, and
the people were fleeing across the.river
to Texas, carrying with them theirport
able property. Imperial reinforcements
for Matamoros were said to be on the
way from Vera Cruz ; but the adherents
of Maximilian were much troubled over
reports that Kirby Smith; with his
rebel army from Texas, was coming
over to fight for Juarez.
Pike County.
The Democrats of Pike county have
chosen Captain La Fayette Westbrook
as _representative delegate to the Demo
cratic State . Convention. The meeting
at which this appointment was made
was large and enthusiastic. It was ad
dressed by Hon. Henry S. Mott, C. B.
Coulter, Esq., Colonel John Nyce, and
Mahlon Heller, Esq. The delegate is
not instructed.
rife An exchange says Oil City was
founded in 1860 by the Michigan Rock
Oil Company. Previous to that it con
' `isted of only a tavern and a conple of
small stores. It was incorporated in
188, and now contains' about 4,000 in
habitants. The present prices for hotel
accommodations are three dollars a day,,,
for hoise hire'four dollars for a moder

ing more closely questioned as to setting,
the leg of one of them, admitted that
they had 110ex:tains housei know they, re
mained there from early nf the morning
until the afternoon, and thus, after looking

and had shaved off his Monstadlie while.
there; had also left a long riding boot with .
the N. Y. maker's mark Mit and the name ,
of J. Wilkes Booth written inside on the lin
ing; when they left they inquired the way
to Rev. Dr. Wilmers 2 and were shown in
that direction ; he insisted that he had not .
heard of the assassination until Sunday,
the day after they left, when he heard of it
for the first time at Church.
TESTIMONY OF MRS. EM3IA. OFFET
This witness is a sister-in-law of John
Floyd, who rented a tavern stand from Mrs.
Surratt ; was at his house on Tuesday,
April 11th; met Mrs. Surratt on that day
somewhere near Uniontown; Mr. Floyd'
went to Mrs. Surratt's carriage and they had
a conversation together ; saw her at Floyd's
house again on Friday, the 14th; she and
Floyd had some conversation together,
which witness did not hear; Floyd had just
returned from Marlboro, where he had been
attending Court.
TESTIMONY OF WILLIAM I'. JEBBS.
Witness stated that since the 25th of last
October he • had been in Caroline county,
Maryland, as Commissary Agent in the
Confederate service; had been in the Cav
alry service, but being wounded was ap
pointed Commissary Agent; when he was
on his way to Fauquier county, in April, he
got to Port Conway and saw a wagon on
the wharf; this was on Monday week after
the murder; before we got down to the
wharf, (there were three of us together) we
saw a man get out of the wagon; -he came
to where we were, and asked what com
mand do you belong to, Ruggles replied to
Moseby's ; he, in answer to an inquiry said
he belonged to A. P. Hill's corps, and then
asked us where we were going; I told him
it was a secret; he asked if we would not
take his brother who had been wounded
below Richmond down to the lines; Harold
asked us then to take a drink, but none of
us drank, and we declined ; I got down,
and carried out three horses, and tied them
up, and Harold Came and touched me, and
said he wanted to speak to me, and said,
"I suppose you are raising a command to
go South," and then said he would like to
go with us ; . I said that I could go with
no man that I didn't know anything
about, and then he made the remark,
"We are the assassinators of the President!"
I was so shocked that I did not know what
to say, and I made no reply; Lieutenant
Ruggles was near by watering his horse
and I called to him; he came there, and
then Booth came up and Harold introduced
him, after introducing himself; Booth had
a mark upon his hand, I remember, J. W.
B.; we went across the river, Bpoth riding
on Ruggles' horse, and he said he wanted to
pass under the name of Boyd; we went to
a lady's house, and I asked her if she could
take in a wounded soldier; she at first con
sented, and then said she could not; We
then went up to Mr. Garrett's, where we
left Booth; Harold and the rust of us went
on within a few nines of Bowling Green;
the next day Harold•returned toward Gar
rett's, and that was the last I saw of him
till after he was captured ; Booth was not
present when Harold said they were the
assassins; he said he did not intend telling
that, and seemed much agitated ; Harold
had told all before Booth came up ; I have
never taken the oath of allegiance, but am
perfectly willing to do so.
TESTIMONY OF LIEUT. COL. C. J. CONGERS
This witness testified to finding Jebb,
the preceding witness, in the hotel at Bowl
ing Green ; Jebb on being arrested told him
he knew what they wanted, and informed
him that Harold and Bunch were at the
house of Mr. Garrett; he (Jebb) got his
horse and accompanied the party. The .
balance of his testimony was only a re
hearsal of the particulars of the capture of
Harold and the shooting of Booth, a full ac
count of which we have already published.
.TESTIMONY OF SERGEANT BOSTON CORBET 7.
This witness, the man who shot Booth,
detailed to the Court the part he took in the
shooting of Booth; nothing was elicited
with which the public is not already

the fact of Booth's having repeatedly de
clared that Harold was entirely innocent
of any crime.

stating that he had sold the other
horse and bought the mare ; Harold
hired mare at the stables that day
which has never been returned ; Atzeroth
had the mare he had brought saddled at ii)
o'clock at night and rode off, and I have
not seen him since that night until now ; I

night, after 10 o'clock, and called to him
that he had had her long 4nough ; he rode
off rapidly at first, but slowly afterwards,
and followed him to the Navy Yard Bridge;

TESTIMONY OF JOHN GREENAWALT.
This witness keeps the Pennsylvania
Hotel ; Atzeroth boarded there some time;
Booth came there to see him several times;
he would walk in and Atzeroth would fol-
low out; Atzeroth spoke several times of
having
plenty of gold soon; he left the Hotel
the Wednesday before the murder; the next
time I saw him was on the morning of the
15th (Saturday) about 3 o'clock; he came in
with another man who was shabbily dress
ed, and asked for his old room, it was oc
cupied; gave the two a room together; they
both got up and left early in the morning;
the stranger who gave his name as Sani
Thomas on - leaving the house asked the way
to the railroad; do not recognize him among
the prisoners; Atzeroth left shortly after
walking toward Sixth street; Atzeroth
showed me a revolver which he had bought
in March.
TESTIMONY OF TIEZEKIAEI METZ
Lives in Montgomery county, Maryland; .
Atzeroth came to his house on Sunday after
the assassination; had known him before;
he had worked in the neighborhood before,
under ,the name of Andrew Atwood; he
represented that he just come from Wash
ington; we understood that Gen, Grant had
been shot in the cars, and, on speaking of it,
Atzeroth said, "if the men who was to fol
low him had followed him, it would have
been done."
Arrested Atzeroth on the 19th of April;
he made no inquiry as to why he was ar
rested; said he had not been in Washington
lately, and that he had nothing to do with
the assassination; this was in answer to
question put.
Ea=l
This witness testified to his father's hav
ing sold Booth a horse in November last,
which appears to be one of those taken to
Naylor's stable; Dr. Mudd came with
Booth ; father resides about a mile from Dr
Mudd; Booth said he wanted the horse to
driye roundto look for a farm ; do not think
he was in the neighborhood since.
