Nagle remonstrated with him, when he said that he only wanted to tight the other man, Hagan, who closed with him, then threw him and found the pistol on the ground near him. The defence was that he was of unsound mind and not responsible for his acts; that he sometimes wore a woman's dress, and acted in various erratic Wit VS. His appearance confirmed what was said in his defence, he being evidently simple in his mind and not able to define clearly the difference between right and so rung.

He left and went into the army in September; the mutual pledge was born the 17th of April, 155:,. The moth er's determined answers and impetuous manner occasioned much merriment, as well as some of the witnesses, one of whom remembered the occasion from an interest 'big event which was to happen to her. The facts of an illicit intercourse was not dis puted, but there was some strong evidence elicited on the part of the defendant, and the jury returned a verdict of guilty of for nication, but not of bastardy.

Larceny in five cases from storekeepers in this city. She plead guilty to them all, but as it was her first offence, her counsel produced proof as to her previous goodcharacter, (though one said she was in the habit of drinking a little too freely at times, such drinks as Mishlef's bitters and lager beer,) and asked for a mitigation of the sentence. The Court sen tenced her to pay a fine of one dollar a piece in each case and costs, etc., and undergo an imprisonment at solitary labor for fourteen months in all. The Drumore township arson case pro ceeded. It appears about SO bushels of wheat, and in fact the barn and its contents, were all destroyed. The defence was, the incompetency of the main witness, who was an accomplice, absence of the defendant from the barn at the time the fire broke out, he being at his father's house a quarter of a mile distant; presumed malice of a princi pal witness toward the prisoner, falsity of his testimony in several important points, &c. The prosecution contended that there was no malicious feeling in the breast of the plaintiff, that the material facts were cor roborated, that Stokes prompted the mis chief, smarting as he was from the whipping he had received, and that the alibi could not be proved.. The case occupied the best por tion of the afternoon, and was quite inter- esting. The jury had not returned a verdict when our report closes Corn. 'vs. George Langdon.

The defence tried to prove her general bad character, but not very successfully. The jury returned a vedict of guilty. • Com. vs. Isaac W. Rutter. Larceny.

Rhoads, David Knox, Wm. \V. Kinzer, Aaron D. Hummer, Abraham Herr, John Smith, Henry W. Hess, Col. James Boone and Michael Bender. Corn. vs. Henry A. Witmer. Arson. The property destroyed was a barn of Frederick Buckwalter, in Brecknock township. He plead guilty to burning the barn twice, and made the.statement that he had done it out or revenge for insults which he had received; that he had been thrown out of employ ment by Ins enemies wherever he went, and he determined to burn the barn so that he might " get law and their game played out." queer idea ! Witnesses were also brought to prove that he was crazy at the time and had been for two veers previous; that he said he was under mesmeric influence and that "the spirits told hint to do it. - He also acted strangely in various ways, struck his father without provocation, bought poison to kill himself; and (lid not scent to be conscious of the enormity of his offence, judging from the replies he tinale. No witnesses were proilure,l by the Tin mon wealth. The jury returned :in acquittal on the ground of in sanity, and, as a dangerous man, recom mended him to be confined, so that no dam age might be lone in future by him.

He said he had thrown it away ; I doubted his words and I felt in his pockets for it. I didn't find it then. He started towards Columbia. When we got to the office I made a search and found the pistol in his boot leg. (Some cartridges and a pen knife shown.) I found this article in his vest pocket. There are nine cartridges. ' The knife is an ordinary pen knife. (The pistol shown,—it was an eight barrelled re volver.) I think that is the pistol. There were two loads yet in thepistol—six having been shot off. Found out by examining it that it was loaded yet in two of the cham bers. The Squire, after I had searched him and heard some evidence, committed him ; (Commonwealth produced a pair of iron knuckles.) I found a pair of iron knuckles on him on October election day, and offered to show the depravity and malice of the pris oner towards all mankind—he having at tempted to kill a soldier .on the day of the murder. It was objected to by counsel for the defence, as irrevelant testimony, not pertaining to the issue. Court sustained the defence and the offer was overrulQd. k There were marks on Robinson's face when I arrested him; his upper lip was swollen a little; there was only a small scab on pis lip; he said he was Struck there, and I looked at. it ; didn't notice any blood on his clothes; I don't think I - knocked at the door of his house; I met' his wife in the yard at the back part of the house ; I asked her " where Bill was;!' she said he was up stairs; I told thy business;-Thad a war rant for his arrest and Z , wante.d, him to_ go down town with me; 1 went - into the house, up stairs; his wife went with me; I saw him go out of the window as I opened the door; lwent down stairs ; he jumped into the..sext yard; don't think I helloed to him; I went around and I followed him; the chase lasted about an hour; we couldn't run fast over the ploughed fields ;,he made no resistance and said he didn't want to be hurt ; I said he shouldn't, but should go along peaceably; some of the pursuers had arms; I think I had a cane; T sent for the arms to Strickler's; I halloed to him to stop . once, and Strickler came up first to him ; I told his wife - I had a warrant for him on another matter. Dr. David Bruner affirmed f" I was called on to see John While about 2 o'clock on Sunday morning the 19th of March ; I found him suffering with considerable pain from a gun shot or bullet wound in his left side; I probed the wound but couldn't find the ball; the wound was about fourinchesfrom the sternum ; I attended While five days; I told him the ball could not be extracted ; they then sent for Dr. Hottenstein and I dis continued my visits; I didn't see him after the morninn. ' of the 24th ; I got the probe in twice about andinch and a half; the wound was slightly forward and downward slightly but nearly level; from the symptoms I thought the wound was in the chest or stomach and the ball was lying on the diaphragm didn't think the wound was mortal; therewas:some inflammation after a few days but it didn't run very high. V, I gave him a little brandy and powder to support him ; I don't think he drank a gill of brandy under my direction; he was doing pretty well as long as I attended him ; there were no fatal symptons I thought he might recover but it was not sure as those cases are very uncertain: he was sitting in a chair, wasn't very . obedient; he walked about I objected to it ; I think he was out of room ; he observed my instructions as t o diettolerably ; he had not much appetite; I prescribed the brandy to help it; his system was in a pretty good state; he was very powerful muscular man; probing some times excites the wound and produces sup paration ; but I didn't see any while I at tended though I understand there was after wards; I think the rib interfered with the course of the ball. Dr. E. Hottenstein, sworn: I saw John While the first time on the night of the 23d of Manch ; my recollection is, that he was sitting up in a chair ; I then proceeded to examine him, and found he had a wound in the left breast, about four inches from the breast-bone, somewhat lower; I then probed it cautiously and carefully, but fail ed to find the ball; he was laboring under sonic slight fever at the time ; I also ascer tained that Dr. Bruner, my colleague, had previously bled him; I then told him that he must be placed under the treatment usual to such circumstances, and told him what he must do; he said he was willing to do all that I wished him, and I placed him under treatment ; he seemed to be better for the first two or three days, when his symp toms rapidly grew worse; at the end of four or five days it appeared to me that there was an accumulation of fluid in the chest; about the 29th of March his breathing be came difficult, and there were somesigns of fluctuation on the chest with pointing, and I opened the breast on the morning of the Ist of April, and there was an immediatedischarge of about a pint of matter with blood ; during the afternoon and night and the morning I .suppose another pint escaped from the breast ; think ing I might be able to find the ball at this stage I probed for the ball through the opening 1 had Made, but failed to rind it ; he continued sinking very rapidly, matters progressing, and on the morning of the 4th of April he died ; in the meantime I sup-* pose there was another pint of the fluid discharged from his breast; he died about it o'clock, or a little after; I made the post mortem examination between 1 and 2 o'clock the same day; I found that the ball in entering the chest had struck against the lower part of the sixth rib; it appears to have deflected and passed forwards, then upwards and inwards and lodged under the breast bone within; While's death was caused by the lodgment of the ball under neath the breast bone; I didn't find the lungs perforated by the ball, nor the heart touched, but the ball had passed through one of the lining membranes of the lungs, a sac in which the lungs lies, about two inches above the lower part of the breast bone. V, The death was caused by the inflam mation and suppuration which followed the lodgment of the ball ; it excited an irritation and produced inflammation ; it would have taken place In any part of the chest; the death resulted part Ally from the non-ex traction of the ball, as the presence of the ball endangers the case; any opening of the vital cavities is considered dangerous; if the ball had been extracted immediately it would have abated the inflammation; if I had known its location I think it could have Seen extracted; the rib was in the way ; its conrse was tortuous; I made the opening about three inches from the mark; the matter gathered around the ball on the outside; it made its appearance by the breast bone; there were about three pints of matter destroyed ; the matter causes much trouble in breathing ; on the post mortem examination I found a good deal of matter and blood yet remaining; I used a delicate silver probe in probing; I think it was a mortal wound; I told him he Must keep in bed quiet, and use sedatives; he I didn't keep as quiet as I wished him, only part of the time; I found him sitting on the chair occasionally ; he was down stairs once ; I think my colleague gave him the proper treatment; walking about was not good for him ; lying down or sitting up in a reclining position eased the pain ; I didn't prescribe any stimulants, except towards the last of his disease, when he was a good deal prostrated ; he took wine instead of Mandy, as he preferred it ; he was a well built, well trained, muscular man ; his system was in good condition ; his age, I think, was about 30 years ; I can't say that there were any marks of intemper ance about him ; he was a . man of :florid complexion and sanguine temperament. J. K. Eberline, affirmed: (Complain shown to the Court.) I took that complaint before me at John While's house on the 20th of March by request of Squire Hunter; am a Justice of the Peace in Columbia; While made Iris mark to it. Dr. Hottenstein, recalled and cross-ex amined: I told him his case was very criti cal; I told him so on the second day; I think I told his friends that he must die, but don't know that I told him. J. Met: n nis, recalled and cross-examined: I was then at While's house a dozen times after the affair; the last visit I think was on the morning before he died ; the first visit was on Sunday, the 19th, about twelve o'clock, after I locked Robinson up ; I was there in the evening again; I can't tell the different times I went to see him. [The Commonwealth offered to show by this wit ness that While's considered his case hope less, having told him so. The defence ob jected to the introducing of declarations of a person in his last sickness, unless under immediate fear of death. Authorities were quoted on both sides.] The witness con tinued to give his evidence as follows: He did not himself express any fears of his death that I can say positively ; he was in much pain; at first he didn't say anything; about the sth or 6th day, he said, he had made up his mind that he would have to die ; this was when they moved his bed for him down stairs ; he made three direct state ments to dine about his being shot and wounded, but I-cannot say at what time; the first occasion was on the first Sunday, the second four or five days thereafter, and third, I think, was in the presence of Dr. Ilottenstein ; it was down stairs in the first room ; I don't know as he said anything afterwards about it. Edw,,rd W. Davis recslltd: foul th day he expressed his fear that he would die; for a few days after that he thought he was getting better; then dur ing the last four days he thought he was going to die, and said so ; he said during that lime, if he had that wound from a bat tle he would be willing to die, but not for that. Friday ..-Ifternoon.—Court met at 2;. o'clock. Coin. vs. John Huber. Selling * liquor without a license at a vendue. It was his first offence, but differed in the nature of the place of sale. Sentenced to pay $lO fine and costs. The Court decided that the evidence in reference to the testimony about the decla rations that were made during the sickness of the deceased were not dying declarations, as they were not made under au immediate fear of impending dissolution. James McGinnis, recalled and cross-ex amined. I saw the mark of the ball in the ceiling ; it was 4 feet 9 inches from the door; from the floor to the ceiling it was 8 feet 6 inches, and from 4 to 6 inches from the right of the door; it was measured this morning; there are four regular steps down from the door. D..T. M. Loop, sworn and cross-examin ed. I examined the premises this morning ; I think Mr. McGinnis' statements are cor rect in reference to the dobrway ; think that the ball would strike into the ceiling if fired from one step down; I saw the hole where the ball entered. The testimony for the Commonwealth closed here. THE DEFENCE OPENED Henry Schubert, underkeeper in the Lan caster county prison, sworn: When Robin son came to prison his mouth was bruised, swollen, and his lip cut in the outside and inside; it remained sore for several weeks; his coat and vest were bloody. V, He came to prison about the middle of March; McGinnis brought him there, and I received him. Sarah Glosser, sworn: I am the mother in-law of Win. Robinson; I saw him the night after he came home ; he had no hat; his mouth was cut ; his vest and coat bloody; he came home between eleven and twelve o'clobk; he wasn't out after that. I don't know when he came for his gun; I was in bed ; I heard some one, but didn't see the* gun;.that must have been about ten o'clock ; I got up when he came home afterwards; I asked him what was the matter ; I went over intollis room; I did keep an aernnnt of the time, as I didn't know there was anything further. Glossq, ,s - worn I am a sister-in law of Robinson ;I was in bed when he came home; I didn't see him till the morn ing; his mouth was all ,cnt and sivollen; Ws clothes were bloody. This closed the testimony for the defence. The argument for the Commonwealth was briefly this: That Robinson made an unprovoked attack on Mack and also the deceased; that While spoke in a kind and gentle manner, and was not excited toward the prisoner; no :insults given, the defen dant had nothing to fear from the deceased; there were no palliating Circumstances con nected there with; the defendant was not acting in self defence, but that it was a wil ful and deliberate murder. There was no necessity to take the life of the prisoner; he was only struck once by the deceased and that was after he was first shot at. The wound was considered mortal by the de ceased and by the doctors, shortly after the shooting ; the deceased was not of intem perate habits ; he did not like the brandy the doctor prescribed, preferring wine; the the prisoner attempted to escape from just ice, his pistol was found concealed in his boot leg, with six empty cartridges in the chambers of the pistol and two remaining unexploded ; he made a subsequent attempt to escape from prison, or at least a large hole was found in his cell. Authorities were quoted from to show the wilful mur der in the case. No false sympathy for the prisoner and his loving wife should be ex cited to prevent the jury from giving him the full extent of the law. The evidence was to conclusive, there was no attempt to prove the prisoner's good character, no wit nesses to show that he had been a quiet, orderly man. The defence argued that the shooting was done entirely in self defence; that Mack provoked the prisoner to knock him down; that he was struck by the deceased, who was a powerful strong man, surrounded by his friends, before the shot was given that killed him ; that Davis, one of the witnesses swore falsely as to six shots being fired, his testimony being unsupported; the crowd followed the prisoner to the door; that the prisoner's hat was struck off, 13 , s face struck and himself in fear of bodily nurm. Davis is a relation of the deceased; four witnesses testified as to only three shots being fired; he was struck before the first fire, and the pistol was used to protect himself from his assailants; the shots were fired too quickly for ally remonstrance front While ; the hat was knocked off before he got to the door. The difference between manslaughter and murder was sustained by quotations from different authorities. It was not murder in the first degree; the circumstances all show that the killing was done in self-defence. The case consumed all day and a session was held in the evening. The counsel on both sides were very able in their argu ments, and the trial was a most interesting one. The defence was masterly handled by Messrs. Iliester and Dickey, and the Dis trict Attorney, , assisted by Jacob B. Am wake, Esq., prosecuted the cage with all the eloquence and legal ability which distin guish them. The judge delivered an able and impartial charge to the jury, in the evening about 9 o'clock, and the verdict of guilty of volun tary manslaughter was returned by the jury after a short sitting. Sentence deferred till morning. In the case of the Coln. vs. Rudolph Kieff, a brewer of Mt. Joy twp., charged with sell ing liquors on Sunday and to minors, it was his first offence it was argued, but as much advantage has been taken of the min imum sentence which has been imposed, the Court sentenced him to pay s'2s and costs in each case, and undergo ten days' impris onment on each offence. Cuurt adjourned till morning. AS'aturday Morning.—Court net at nine Robinson was brought in to receive sen tence, which was to undergo twelve years imprisonment in the Eastern Penitentiary at solitary labor. The extreme penalty of the law was carried out, and the Judge ex pressed the hope that the sentence would have the effect of deterring much of the crime which is so prevalent in our midst. Coin. vs. Daniel Killian. Plead guilty to selling wine and lager beer without a license at a public sale, near Elizabethtown. Sen tenced to pay a fine of ten dollars and costs. Coin. vs. Emanuel Flowers and Christian Aurst, who plead guilty to selling liquors at public vendues without license. They were each seteneed to pay a fine of ten dol lars and costs. Coln. vs. Wm. Allison. He plead guilty a charge of larceny. He was permitted to make a statement to the Court, and said that he and several " gentlemen" were on a "spree" at a party in Millersville on the eventful evening. During the evening he went to a room in which George Trimble was asleep and took his pocket-book, con taining $B5, but that he returned $35 of the money since. The balance was spent. On account of his youth (only about 21 years of age) and his first offence, and having "served his country four years in the army," the court were disposed to be lenient. He was therefore only sentenced to pay costs of suit, restore property and undergo a thirty days imprisonment. The little African, Geo. Donnell, who plead guilty to setting lire to the barn of Mr. Rogers in Drumore twp., on the 26th of May, and to the subsequent burning of wheat stacks on the 30th of July, was sen tenced to ten years imprisonment, five years for each offence. Corn. vs. August Miller. Larceny. He was charged with stealing a vest from Hager & Bros' store in this city on the 15th of last month. Verdict was guilty. Given nine months imprisonment. (The court here acknowledged the deeds of property sold by the Sheriff since the last term of court.) Corn. vs. George Washington, (a large name for a small person.) The defendant, another black boy "very likely looking" was found guilty of stealing a pistol in Colum bia. And the court directed hint to be sent to the House of Refuge. The Grand Jury made the following re port: REPORT OF THE °R AND JURY. To the Honorable the Judges of the Court of Quarter ,S'essions of the Peace and for the County of Lancasto The Grand Inquest inquiring for said county, at August Sessions, 18135, respect fully report: That they have had before them 82 bills of indictments, of which sixty seven were returned as true bills and fif teen were ignored. They regret to rind that crimes and misdemeanors are on the in crease in the county, and believe the cause will be mainly found to be the almost total and increasing disregard of the license and Sunday laws, relative to the traffic in in toxicating drinks and the increase thereof as a use. They visited the House of Em ployment for the poor, which they found in good order and condition, and the inmates well cared and provided for by Mr. Samuel Speilman and his estimable lady, who have charge of the institution. The jury would recommend that there should be some re pairs made in the basement story or kitchen of this building. They also visited the County Hospital, and found everything in as good order and condition as the building will at present ad mit of. The buildings of this institution are not well adapted for the purposes of a hospital, but they are nevertheless suscep tible of much improvement, both in con dition and convenience, and thejury re commend some improvement in the cells for the benefit of the unfortunate inmates. They visited the County Prison and found the buildings well cleaned and attended to, and the unfortunate inmates seem to receive proper care and attention from the officers in charge of the institution. The inquest tender their thanks to the Court, the District Attorney, the Sheriff and their polite and gentlemanly attendant, Mr. Rohrer, for courtesies received, and having performed all duties required of them, they pray to be discharged.

Hostetter, Joseph Hood, Michael L. Huver, Jacob M. Mayer, Geo. S. Mann, John G. Offner, Geo. Pickel, Daniel Swope, Jacob C. Stauffer, Henry Wisler. Corn. vs. Henry Hartrauft. Charged with rape upon the person of a young girl on Sunday, the 14th of last May, who was liv ing with the Rev. Jno. Risser, in Warwick twp., at the time. The family had all gone away on that day, and she was the only one in the house. This case was pending when Court ad journed till afternoon. After this case was attached all the wit nesses and jurors, not interested inthecs, were discharged. Saturday Afternoon and Evening.--The "rape" case occupied all the time. The material points in the defence were that;the prosecutrix, Elizabeth Witmyer, was of a previcas unchaste character; (she admitted that she had been "ravished" twice before;) that she madunn,untc,and . no complaint at the time; that the house was on the pub lic road, where her'cries could be heard if she had made any; jp fine, that the ravish ment was a voluntary one on her part, and as such the 'prisoner could not be found guilty of the crime named in the indict ment: The prosecution aimed to show that Eliza beth Witmyer was seduced at an early age by the defendant; that it was impossible for her to make a noise at the time of the rape, on account of the force used; that her torn garments proved her resistance ; that she told of the occurence as soon as possi ble, and the circumstances of the case clearly proved the charge made againstthe defendant. The prosecution and the defence used strong points in their arguments, but the Jury failed to agree on a verdict after sitting up all niga. They came into court at 7 o'clock, Sunday morning, and were dis charged. The case was continued. LANCASTER HORSE MARKET, MONDAY AUGUST 28TH, 1865. —The trade has assum ed a better aspect, both in the way of ar rivals and sales, which are as follows: Trout's.—The arrivals were 16 head of extra horses, to D. M. Sharp Co., as re ported a few days ago, from Washington county, Pennsylvania, Western Virginia and Ohio; and S head bought up in county. The sales amount to 8 head to different parties,. leaving 30 head, with 14 at last re port, in the stable. Will ship to Philadel phia market in the morning 12 head. Fank's.—The arrivals were Steckman Logan, with 16 head, from Ohio; A. C. Brindley, with 12 head, from Cadiz, Ohio— very tine and splendid horses.

With 4 head at last re port, there are on hand 7 head. Messrs. Copeland ,17 Cline left on Saturday morning for Canada, for another lot of trotting horses. They are expected with 30 or 40 head in ten days A LANCASTERCOUNTY COMPANY STRIKE Orc.—The Amber Petroleum Company, organized at Columbia, has made a strike of oil which promises to be one of the very best on Dunkard creek. Ou the night of the 17th inst., at a depth of 510 feet, the operatives at the " Lone Star Well" struck a vein of heavy lubricating oil, from which they speedily dipped off half a barrel of oil in the sand pump. The Superintendent of the company says, in a letter to the Presi dent: The strike is in very white sand rock' just the spot all oil men want to see it, for a durable thing. The " I.oneStar" lies about fifty rods from the "Clyde Well,'' for a fourth interest of which one man here this week was offered $40,000 in Greenbacks, and I believe we have just as good a thing as that Wt 3 saw a specimen of the oil at the office of Dr. Henry Carpenter this morning. It is very thick and heavy, as clean and clear of foreign substance as can be, and of a beau tiful amber color, We congratulate the Company on their luck, which they deserved for their quick perseverance. DEATH OF DR. SAMPLE.—Dr. Nathaniel W. Sample died on Tutsday, at his residence in the village of Gordonville, at the ripe old age of 82 years. Dr. Sample was one of the most prominent, influential and respected citizens in this county, and in his day held several positions of trust and responsibility —the last one he filled being that of Pro thonotary, to which he was appointed by the late Governor Wolf. Many years ago he was Brigade Inspector of Lancaster county, and we believe he served hiscountry in the war of 1812. He was also a promi nent politician, having been two or three times the Democratic candidate for Con gress, and also served on the Electoral ticket. Until within the last ten or twelve years he was always chosen as a delegate from his township to the Democratic County Convention, and wits generally selected President of that body on account of his abili ty as an officer and parliamentarian. As a physician he ranked among the first, and as a man and citizen was prompt, honorable and high-toned in all the relations of life. He lived far beyond the Psalmist's allotted period, and hits gone to his rest full of honors and years. INTO SERIOUS TROUBLE.—The Pittsburg Dispatch of Tuesday contains an accountof a case of adultery and abandonment in which the parties implicated are represented as from this county. That paper says: District Attorney Kilpatrick was called up on on Monday by Mr. Robert Montgomery, a drover—who makes his home alternative ly, as his business requires, in Lancaster and Butler counties—for the purpose of as certaining what was necessary to bring to justice an erratic couple, of whose misdeeds he appeared to be cognizant. It seems that about eight months or moresince one Miller Mitchell, a married man, came to this city in company with all unmarried woman, named Kate Steel, who had with her a " re sponsibility." They took up lodgings at "Ward's Hotel," on the corner of Seventh and Grant streets, where it seems they con ducted themselves, as they had previously in a manner not strictly in accordance with the acts of Assembly in the case made and provided. They came here fron Lancaster, where the woman Steel, as we learn, had prosecuted a certain man tbr an offence, which, if: established, would establish the fact that he was the hither of her child. The suit, however, was not pressed. It was during the stay of Mitchell and his partner in guilt at the hotel named, that a child was found on the door-step of the residence of a citizen of Allegheny. This child was none other hum that of the woman Steel. A short time since the pair returned to Lancaster county, where Mitchell's wife and family resided. ills doings be coming known, Mitchell was there arrested, and is now held in custody. Having made a statement, in substance as given above, Mr. Montgomery was advised by the District Attorney as to what he should do. Accordingly, lie called upon Alderman Nicholson and preferred five different charges, viz: adultery, affiliation, and abandonment of a child under seven years of age, against Mitchell, and fornication and abandonment, ac., against the woman.— Warrants were issued, and in the course of a few days the accused will be obliged to revisit this city at the expense of the coin ; monwealth." VILLAINOUS ASSAULT.—On Friday, as Mr. Thomas Coleman, Merchant Tailor, of 57 North Queen street, was on his way to his hotel from the residence of his brother and partner, Mr. C. R. Coleman, who re sides at the corner of Lime and Walnut streets, he was assaulted, when passing over the Lime street bridge, by a desperate villain with a billy or slung-shot. Mr. C. was struck on the right side of the face, and the cheek bone was severely bruised: He gave a scream, and fortunately succeeded in escaping without further injury. The villain's object was doubtless plunder, but he got nothing. Mr. C. did not observe the man before he was struck, and can, there fore, give no description of his person. —The assaults, robberies, &.c., we have been chronicling lately in our midst will prevail just so long as the niggardly policy continues of having no regular night police and extinguishing the city lights at 10 o'clock. Let the City Councils right these matters at once. PENNSYLVANIA R. R. STOCK REPORT, MONDAY, AUG 28TH.—The following is the report for the week ending Saturday, the 26th : J. H.

She is doubt less, in the classical language of Roaring Ralph Stackpole in the play of "Nick of the Woods," a "ring-tailed snorter," and wo say, in the elegant parlance of the street, "bully for Sarah Jane." ROBBERY UT ELIZABETH TOWNSHIP.— On Monday night last, the summer house, belonging to Mr. Joseph Lehn, residing in Elizabeth township, this county, was entered through a back window and rob bed of a large number of articles, consist ing of a clock, table-cloth, knives and forks, coffee pots, etc. The carpenter shop was also entered and a lot of tools taken. An attempt was also made to gain entrance to the barn, but the party was frightened away by a beggar who was sleeping in the barn. The thief was traced into Warwick township. It is hoped that the scoundrel may iheet with a fitting reception from the citizens of Warwick, should he be caught attemping to commit like depredations in that vicinity. Staxs or THE TAXES.—In a recent issue of the London Times, we find an interesting article on wine and its consumption in past years in England. We make the following extract: America now produces a wine ex cellent in quality and exquisite in flavor, as all testify who have tasted the Samburg wine of Mr. A. Speer of New Jersey, U. S. A In our perambulations through Spain, France and Portugal we acquired some ex perience in wine, and have tasted none to excel the Samburg vintage of America.— Wines depend for their excellence not mere ly on their material, but on their prepara tion; not merely on the cultivation of the vine, but on the management of the fermen tations. All this Mr. Speer thoroughly understands, if we may judge from the sample of the Samburg wine we tasted. In our opinion, this wine cannot fail of success. It is already attracting considerable atten tion in London and % Paris, and with the ladies will become a general favorite on ac count of its non-intoxicating properties.— London TiMCS. Sold by EL E.
