Stautfex. EARTEL-4,ast,;Banday: was Easter, the anniversary of our Lord's resurrection from the dead. This holiday is accounted, one Of the three great festivals of the Chris tian year—the other two being Christmas and Whitsuntide. From the earliest . period of Christianity down to the present day_ it has always been celebrated by believers with the greatest joy. The common name of this Festival in the East was the Paschal Feast, because kept at the same time as the Pascha, Or Jewish passover, which com memorates the deliverance of the Israelites from bondage in Egypt. Though there has never been any difference of opinion in the christian church as to why Easter is kept, there has been a good deal as to when it ought to be kept. It is one of the movable feasts ; that is, it is not fixed to one particular day like Christmas, which is always kept on the 25th of December—but moves back wards nr forwards according as the full moon next after the vernal equinox falls nearer or further from the equinox. It is well known to every reader of the Bible, that during the last night spent by the Israelites in Egypt, an angel of the Mord went through all the land of Egypt at mid night, and smote the first born both of man and beast, so that in all the land of Egypt there was not a house found in which there was not oho dead. The children of Israel, previously warned of this calamity, were directed by Moses to take a lamb to each family of five, or if the family was larger, two lambs; this lamb they wore directed to slay early in the evening and after it was dark, sprinkle the blood upon the door posts of their houses, and the flesh of the lamb they were to eat with certain ceremonies at midnight; none of the flesh was permitted to remain until the morning. At midnight the angel of the Lord wont out and smote the first born throughout the whole land of Egypt, not passing by a single louse unless he saw the blood upon the door posts; but where the blood wits, the destroying angel did not enter into that house but passed over It. Thus the Israel ites, by obedience to the command of Moses, were saved from the direful calamity by means of the blood of this lamb, culled by them the Paschal lamb, which they had slain. In the morning, us soon us It was light, the Israelites wore driven out of Egypt by the Egyptians; thus were they at length delivered front their cruel bon dage. Igor a account fa' the Passover, sec Exodus, chapters Ilth and kith; also, Iffsephits, Rook 2, chapter 14. This de liverance of the Israelites front I tutelage occurred about the time of the vernal equi• nox. The Israelites throughout all their generations assembled annually at this festi val of the Passover In commemoration of their deliverance. Our Saviour was cruel lied about the MIMI! tittle, when they wore celebrating this festival, and became the Paschal Lamb fur the whole world ; on the third day he rose from the grave. The day on which he rose was the first day of the week, which, In consequence of this event, became the Sabbath of the Christian Church. This memorable event, the resurrection of Christ, Is celebrated by the Christian Church and under the Gospel dispensation takes the place of the Passover under the Mosaic dispensation; it upon the s a me time in the year as the Passover formerly did, with this exception: The Passover was al ways celebrated at the time of full moon, yzitile the festival held by the Chfistian 'Church is always celebrated on the li.tst Sitbbath after. If the vernal full moon falls on Sabbath, this festival is not until the following Sabbath. ACCIDENI"rO AN OLD LANCASTE Wk, have I eon handed for publication the following article taken from a California newspaper. Mr. Lightner, the unibrtunate man whose death it records, was a native or Lancaster county, and left the vicinity of I DIM:DU rse for Lexington, Missouri, in 1818, where he remained until 1849, and where he has resided ever since. The California jour- nal says: On Tuesday morning last the people of our town were shocked by the arrival of a messenger with the melancholy intelligence of the death of Mr. Abiah T. Lightner, of Walker's Basin, one of our most respected citizens. The circumstances attending his sad and sudden death are detailed, as far as it is possible to obtain them, by the testi mony elicited at the inquest held by Coro ner Mills. Mr. Lightner was respected and beloved by all who know him ; a worthy man and a good citizen ; a kind father and a warm friend ; a man of exemplary character and industrious habits; just and honorable in all his dealings—his death is a serious loss to the community. The bereavement ofhis family and friends is augmented in conse quence of the absende of Mrs. Lightner, who is at San Jose with an invalid son. As soon as the news of the occurrence was received, 1). S. and Win. Lightner (sons of the deceased), Dr. Davidson and a few others proceeded to the locality designated, and there found the lifeless body. Soon after Mr. Mills and other friends followed. An inquest was held by Coroner Mills at the grocery store, to which the body had been removed, when the following testi mony was given : Emanuel King, sworn—l saw Mr. Light ner pass the store early in the morning, driving a load of hay toward the summit, and seated on the hay ; shortly afterwards a Mexican came in from Walker's Basin, and after warming himself and taking breakfast, left for Havilah, but he had not been many minutes absent, when he re turned end stated that there was a man lying dead on the road, and inquired who had passed lately; replied that Mr. Light nor had passed last with a load of hay ; hastened to the place with the Mexican, and found Mr. Lightner lying rather on his right side, on the road, with his head towards the summit of the hill; the mark of the wagon wheel was on the right side of his fees and shoulder, and he was bleeding at the mouth ; I felt his pulse, but there was no movement whatever ; put my ear to his mouth, but there was no breathing; he NiTas dead. I suppose ho had fallen from the load of hay, and pitched on his head, and the wagon passed over him ; I then wont to see after the team and wagon, and found the latter upset at the bottom of the hill—the axle of the fore wheel having broken in two, and the wheel lying on the road ; I unharnessed the horses, and sent the Mexican into town with one of :them to inform Mr. D. S. Lightner of the occur rence.

THE JEWISH ifEsTitai OF PASSOVER.— The celebration of the Jewish festival ,of Passover or Pesach Was commenced' on Friday evening lag, and will be celebrated by Israelites throughout the world.. The festival commences on,the eve of the four teenth day. of Nissan, and has its origin from the departure of the children of Israel from Egypt. The eating of the Passover bread or Mazzoth, is in commemoration of the Israelites to leaven their dough. The Jewish class•book says: "On the evening of the fourteenth day of Nissan the Pass over (Pesach) begins and continues eight days. Duringthese eight days no leaven of any kind is allowed to be eaten or used for ally purpose. The festival of Passover is also called Hack Ha Mazzoth or feastof un leavened bread. Previous to the destruc tion of the itoiy Temple in Jerusalem the Passover lamb was offered up in the after noon of Erev or Eve Pesach with much Joy and gladness, and it was eaten in the eye ing in each family. The first two and last two days of the festival must be kept holy and sacred to the Lord. On these days there must be no work performed nor any busi ness transacted, and should be kept as strictly as the Sabbath. The four middle days are called Choul Hamoed. On these days we are allowed to work and follow,our usual occupations, restricting ourselves, however, to the performance of such things as are absolutely requisite. The festival of Passover is ordained to commemorate the goodness of the Almighty in having heard the cries of the children of Israel when cruelly persecuted by the Egyptians• On the eve of Passover (Erev Pesach) every first born son must fast in gratitude to the Almighty, who when he slew all the first born at the Egyptians on the night that'our forefutheis left Egypt, passed over all the houses of the Israelites, and not one of them wits slain or oven hurt. The ceremony of the two first nights of Passover, termed Seder, is as follows: On the first two nights of Passover, the table being prepared as usual :on the Sab bath and festivals, throe plates are put thereon. On one are placed three Mozzoth (Passover cakes); in another the shank hone of the shoulder of a lamb, and an egg roasted ; and on the third is put some che villa or parsley and horse radish; as also cup of vinegar or salt water; likewise a compound formed of apples, almonds, dn. natnon, &c., worked up to the consistence of mortar, which Is called charouses. The bone of the lamb Is In memory of the Kor. ban Pesach, "Passover offering ;'' the egg is to remind us of the Korban Cheniga, the offer In honor of the festivals; the bitter herbs are eaten because the Egyptians em bittered the lives of our ancestors by slavery ; the charouses is in memory of the brick and mortar used by the people in Egypt. The table being then laid, every one of the family is seined and each has a glass of wine before him.— Thu muster of the house then begins re citing the Heeds'', which relates to the redemption of our forefathers from Egypt and contains praise and thanksgivings to the gracious God ibr his kindness and mercy. On these two nights all Hebrew servants are allowed to sit at table during the ceremony, because we were all equally In bondage, and therefore it k proper that every one of us should return thanks to God for his goodness in delivering us from a state of slavery. During; the time the holy temple stood in Jerusalem a sheaf of the first ripe corn was offered up to the Lord on the sixteenth day of the month Nissan, which is the second day of the Passover, and from that day fifty days were ordered to be counted until the festival of Pentecost, or feast of weeks. ANOTHER WRECK ON TLIE PENNSYL VANIA I{AILROAn•—The detention of the Day Express train from the West, for some live hours, day before yesterday, was caused by an accident that happened the Fast Line West, early that morning, by which it was wrecked in a cut near Greens burg, where a rock had fallen on the track. train was proceeding:at the usual rate of speed, when the engine struck the obstruc tion—u large rock and mass of earth—which had slipped down from the embankment in consequence of the heavy washing rain which prevailed. The rock was driven along the track for the distance of about fifty yards, when the engine was thrown off, and turned over on its side, several of the cars badly wrecked, and the track torn up for a considerable distance. One of the passenger curs was thrown up on the engine, while the other cars were knocked about promiscuously. It is a most remark able as well as r gratifying circumstance that no one was seriouly injured, and but very few were slightly hurt. The engineer, Clingensmith, was badly bruised about the hip and thigh, and the Baggage Master, Mr. Cresson, had one foot burned somewhat while putting out the fire which caught his car. The postal car was overturned, the roof torn off, and it was slightly burned. Mr. Frank Kerr, the mail agent, was bruised about the thigh, and his foot was slightly injured. It was a miraculous escape for all of them. MARIETTA AFFAIRS.-1110 MCtrieltiaß of this morning says: The Ladies Fair and Festival for the bene fit of the St. Johns' Episcopal Church of the borough, will open on Monday next. Christian Hanlen, of this place, had his foot very badly mashed In Columbia, on Thursday afternoon, in endeavoring to "snub a raft." John Farnemworth, a lumberman, from Indiana cdunty, had his leg broken on Sat• urduy morning last, while assisting In landing a raft. A collection amounting to over $lOO, was taken up for him, and on Monday he was sent borne. REVENUE OFFICERS.-Mr. .1. D. Warfel was on Saturday nominated and confirmed Assessor of Internal Revenue for this Dis trict. Wm. B. Wiley, Esq., had previously been confirmed as Collector. The new officials will speedily enter upon the dis charge of their duties. They are both Radicals. NEW PwcrABLE FENCE.—Attention is directed to the advertisement of a new port able fence, Just patented by Mr. Israel L. Landis, of Manheim township, this county• It is said to be a valuable invention, and can be constructed either as a rail or pale fence. Each pannel is made separately, and braced together in a simple manner. It is firm ankstrong, and can be made with ease and cheapness. A likAvv BUSINESS.-A few of our read ers possibly are aware of the immense busi ness done by Dr. B. Mishler in the sale of his celebrated Herb Bitters. But to give all ca them an idea of the extent of his sales, we will state that this morning he shipped off 22 barrels, besides a number of small packages, amounting in value in the aggre gate to over 83,000. The orders for this amount of Bitters were received in Satin.- day afternoon's mail, and came from Phila delphia, Baltimore and the West and South west. Such a business as this is a very strong proof of the popularity of Mishler's Herb Bitters. •THE SUSQUEHANNA FISHERIES.--The fisheries on the lower waters of the Susque hanna have had little luck so far. The late opening of the spring was against them, and since the weather has been moderate the river has been too high for successful fishing. Some shad are caught in the gill nets, and a few in the seines, but, so far the season has been very backward and unpro pitious. NOVELTIES Are the order of the day. The latest one in the cullna-y line Is alphabetic soup. The appearance of these letters of paste floating in the soup plate, and coining them selves into all manner of odd words, is really amusing. Whilst " worrying down" a plate of the alphabetic the other day, and observing the ' , Mice of the letters, they suddenly twisted themselves Into 0. I. C. U., and then making a herculean extort, got off the following Buy the Barley Sheaf,' the best Cooking Stove in the world. The advice was excellent, and should be acted upon by every person needing a thorough reliable Cooking Stove. Messrs. STUART, PETERSON & Cu„ Philadelphia, are the Manu- facturers. Tragic All%lr in Tennessee Arthur Reeves was, on Saturday last, killed at Somerville, Tennessee. by Morris Mosby. They were mere boys-one thir teen and the other fourteen. They had an altercation, when Reeves caught Mosby by the collar with his left hand and was about striking him with the right, when the lat ter drew a revolver, and placing it against Arthur's breast, fired. The ball passed through the breast, and it is supposed through his heart, lodging under the skin in the back. He fell immediately, exclaim ing, "I am shot!" and died within a few minutes. Young Mosby was arrested, and had a hearing on Monday before Justices (lox, Tucker and George, A boy named James Bell, about twelve years of age, who was In company with the two boys at the time of the occurrence, was the only wit ness. After the examination, young Mosby was bound over in the sum of two thousand dollars for trial at the Circuit Court. EXECUTION, OF• XIMINIT NEVEM. Attempted Ottlelds Of the Prlsoner—Se is Carried to the swam (By Telegraph A p rile Tribune.l. DOYLENTOWN, Pa., lB.—Albert Ten. fel was hung at this place to-day at 12.20 P. M. for the murder of Capt. Wiley at Mit tel. During the early part of last evening your correspondent, in company with the father and uncle of the condemned man, and the Rev. Messrs. George and Kopper. nigle, paid him a visit. He had been pre vionsly visited by Kate Hunter, his Phila delphia paramour. I found Teufel quite talkative and at once entered into conver aation with him. He persistently asserted ' his innocence of the crime of which he was convicted, although acknowledging partici pation in numerous other crimes. Among others, he said he was engaged in the rob bery of the Miasissipi steamer Mary E. Forsyth in 1882 or 1883; that be drug ged the clerk of the • steamer, and then robbed the of of $15,000. Being asked where he spent the money, he replied, "On drunks, oftentimes spending from $2OO to $3OO a night." He further stated that he was connected with the rob bery of one of Adams Express Company's cars in the State of Ohio some time since. That he was not directly in the 'robbery, but had a share of the proceeds. That the bonds there obtained were destroyed, but some $2,000 in greenbacks was divided. There were four engaged In the robbery. Of these three had been caught, but one was yet loose. Teufel's statements were quite disconnected, and apparently much exaggerated. He seemed inclined to boast of his participation in a large number of robberies. Stated that he had been mixed up in a number at Philadelphia, New York, Trenton, and in the West ; that he lived by .stealing and speculating, and in order to maintain an apparently respectable posi tion sometimes purchased and sent live stock from St. Joseph to St. Louis, Mo.; that two years and a half ago he lost all his property, amou nti ng to $150,000 In endeavor ing, in partnership with one John Greene, to run a wagon train of clothes and merchun thee from St. Joseph to Pike's Peak. He also acknowledged participating In various minor robberies, and stated that he always escaped detection by traveling alone and trusting no ono. Respecting his parents he said that his mother died in 1884, and that the man who represented himself as his father was not hie parent. Ile said lie had been in the army at times during the war; that he first enlisted in the 1028 New York Regiment, but deserted and engaged in the bounty-jumpitn4 business; that immedi ately prior to the murder of Capt. Wiley his business had been stealing mules end everything he could. Throughout the in terview the prisoner steadily denied purti. cipution in the murderofWiley, and charged the same upon the boy Rick, the chief wit ness against hint on his trial, and a person whose namehe would not give. lie said that on the Thursday preceding the murder ho was at Trenton, N.. 1., on a drunk, and that he von hi easily, Hallowed, on his trial have I proved an alibi. Ile dwelt }psi tieularly on the heinousness UI the MO Mei., the murder ed Merl having first been shot, and then strangled by means an rope, and finally had his moult and throat filled with old rags. Said that If he had been going to commit murder he would not have done it In that way. Of himself and family rela tions he stated thus he had been married three or four times, and had two ur three children; was 23 years of age, and born at Philadelphia. Had forgotten the name of his first wife, except that It was Mary. That he attended Wood's school, corner of Twenty-third and Lombard streets, Phila delphia, until he was II yours of age, and then went to work on the Lehigh and Del aware Canal. The above stateinents were Millie in response to questions, and are given only fur what they may be worth. The prisoner is known as an in veterate liar. During his imprisonment he has written a number of doggerel verses entitled Hanging on Suspicion," to be sung to the air of " Down in New Jersey," in which he appeals to all Christians not to make the acquaintance of a Bucks County man, who will hang cue on suspicion. His verses then relate to the fate of several murderers hung in this county, viz: Ann Cruster, Minor and Blundin, and severely abuse the Judge, Sheriff and High Constar ble of the county, and complain of the food furnished him. At midnight, the prisoner was engaged in writing letters, but at 2 this morning was interrupted by a visit front his father. At the close of the interview, the attending priests requested the prisoner to spend the remaining hours of the night in silent religious reflection, but he re fused, and called for some whisky, which being furnished he partook of, and resumed , his letter writing. At 5 o'clock, the attention of the Sheriff was drawn to him and he was found to be seri ously ill. Physicians were at once sent for, who visited the prisoner and at 8 o'clock re ported that he was shamming, that when they fi rst, saw hint he pretended to be quite sick, but after awhile turned around and laughed at them, as if it was a "gook joke." At 8.45, three-quarters of an hour after this report was made, I again visited Teufel, and found that he had been seized with severe convulsions. As I entered his cell he lay upon the couch, calling upon the Sheriff to hang him quick, and writhing in great agony. At 9 o'clock he finally con fessed that he had taken arsenic at 2 o'clock in the morning, and, thinking he had not taken enough, he repeated the dose. At this time he was laboring under severe nervous prostration. Ihe Doc tors in attendance offered him mor phine, but he refused to take it, saying he wanted the execution to take place im mediately; that it could be done in 15 minutes, and he wished it done right. As it was doubtful at this time if he could live much longer, the scaffold was at once swept, and every preparation made for a quick execution. It was the opinion of the medical gentlemen present that the prisoner had taken an overdose of arsenic. He con tinually complained of weakness in his legs, and bogged to have the chains removed from his ankles. His thirst seemed insa tiable, and his cries for water incessant.. These symptoms continued until 9.30 o'clock, when it was found necessary to hold him down upon the bed, which was done by Sergeant Murray and Officer Beers. It seemed as if he must soon die, but the physicians differed as to the cause of his conduct, some attributing it to poison, and others declaring that he was only "playing a bounty jumper's part." At it) o'clock the prisoner addressed an at tendant with the remark (no doubt refer ring to the poisoning) "the job was not done right, or I would have gone before this time." At this time rumors of the scenes inside the prison having reached the vil lage, into which crowds had been pouring from the adjoining towns for 24 hours, an Immense throng had assembled outside the courtyard, cud the surrounding walls were thickly covered with the curious. At 10:30 o'clock, the prisoner sank into it quiet slumber, which wits occasionally disturbed by the culls of visitors mid the sound of voices from the crowd outside, who were clamoring for his execution. 'rho prisoner has eaten but a few oysters and sardines since yesterday. Prominent physicians called in at this time, after examination, declared their belief that he was feigning, His pulse throughout has beaten regularly. if he had taken arsenic, it is believed that it must have been furnished him by Kate Slauter, his paramour, who visited him yesterday. At 11 o'clock he was visited by the attending priests, and soon became engaged in devotional exer vises. At 11.35 the last sacrament was ad ministered, after which his hands were se curely fastened by the Sheriff, and every preparation made for the execution. At 12.15 the procession, headed by the Sheriff, arrived at the gallows. The prisoner was obliged to be carried, his limbs being un able to support him. He 'Mule no eonfes sion wha IrVer. The only scene at the gal lows was the fainting of the Deputy Sheriff, who fastened the noose on the condemned man. At 12.20 the drop fell. The prisoner died easy, and front the effects of the fall. Suicide in Rending On Saturday morning a lady named Isa bella Coultbard committed suicide at her boarding house, on south 7th street, in this city. Alderman Richards, acting Coroner, summoned a jury, consisting of the follow ing citizens: M. P. Boyer, F. H. Phillipi, James M. Whitman, John Hinnershitz, Thomas Palglase, and James Schultz, who proceeded to hold an inquest on the remains of Mrs. C., when the following facts were elicited: Mrs. C. is a woman of fifty-three years; a nativeof England. On Friday night she and her husband went to their room as usual ; nothing was noticeable in Mrs. C. tai t a slight depression in spirits. On Saturday morning Mr. C., on awaking at six and a half of clock, found Mrs. C. gone. On get ting out of bed he stepped into a pool of blood, and found his wife lying on a basin at the foot of the bed with her throat cut. He gave the alarm, and the Coroner was called in. The doctors found a razor lying on her left side, and near the basin; she having two gashes about three inches long on the left side of the neck, cut the exter• nal carotid artery and jugular vein, pro ducing almost instantaneous death. A number of witnesses were examined, after which the jury agreed "that Mrs. Coult hard came to her death by cuts upon her neck, inflicted with a razor, by her own hand." A certain air of mystery surrounded the affair until the Coroner's inquest was over, which was only dispelled by their verdict, —Daily Times. Terrible Accident. A fatal accident of a singular nature oc curred at the north shaft of the Hoosick tunnel on Saturday. The " bell man," who stands at the bottom of the shaft, and gives the signal for the platform to rise, was standing in his position almost directly un der the platform, which was at that time at the mouth of the shaft, when a number of drills were thrown upon the platform to be taken down for use. One of these, about five feet in length, rolled off the platform, and falling a distance of three hundred and seventy feet, its sharp end struck the "bell man " in the side, and the instrument pas sed entirely through his body, and then some distance into a heavy plank, com pletely impaling the unfortunate man. The plank bad to be split with an axe before the drill could be loosened. The in jured man lived about twenty hours after the occurrence. sage II" lobes*. Under this startling bead the rittabtirg Gazelle of the 10th inat., a itedlcal.:,lo..nrual, publishes the following expose of the doings of the last Leglidature of our State: Talking a few nears ago with a noted lobbyist at Harrisburg, .be franklY 00n fesseilthat be and big kind had relieved the Commonwealth of pretty much all the property it bad worth plundering. During the past session a systematic effort hasbeen made to gather up and carry off the frag ments that remained, and this endeavor has been crowned with a large measure of success. If the accounts are true, and we think they are, the bot tom of the Treasury has been cleaned out, and a round deficit left. Nor Is this all. An attempt was made to rob the Sinking Fund ofsBoo,ooo, for preventing which the people are indebted to Mr. Wal lace, Chairman of the Democratic State Committee. lie raised the point that by the plain words of the Constitution the revenues derived from certain sources were pledged to the liquidation of the public in debtedness, and could not be applied to general purposes. This compelled a cutting down of the fivancial budget, which looked to the ex penditure of $1,000,000 more than the esti mated income; and this, notwithstanding what the Chinese call "a squeeze" of at least $700,000, had been made on the four or five New York Coal Companies operat ing in Luzerne county. The slashing commenced on the penal and chari table institutions. Dixinont was low ered from $85,000 to $430,000, which sig nifies that the new wing may wait for completion. All the other establish ments were cut down in a similar propor tion. We do not hear that the $500,000, given to certain border counties, as indem nity for 'oases by rebel raids, was recanted. There was said to be $lOO,OOO stealings in that arrangement. But the members got conscientious, or something else, over their salaries. Having voted themselves more wages than the law allowed, they concluded not to take It, be cause the money could not be found. Accidents on the Pennsylvania Ball• roads In 1880. Killsd.

The Lavaca Commercial, bei❑g asked by a correspondent why Texas should have for her seal a five-pointed star, and as to the origin of the motto, "Lone Star," replied as follows: "In 1843 the writer hereof met at the house of Mr. Polly, in Bailey's Prairie, Brazoria county, old Governor Smith. Mr. Smith was Provisional Governor of the Embryo Republic, or State, or Territory, of Texas. In Conversation about the Texas emblem, the five pointed star, he gave us its Texas origin. He stated that while act ing us Provisional, it became necessary to send some official document to New Or leans. The gentleman who was to take the document insisted that it should have some kind of a seal. The provisional govern ment had adopted none. Just then some one observed a five-pointed brass button on the Governor's old overcoat. It was cutoff instanter and used as a State Seal Arrived in New Orleans, the newspaper reporters, seeing the impression of .the five-pointed brass button on the wax, made it an em blem for the Lone Star Republic.". Curious Story about a Petnifled Body A letter from Vicksburg gives an inter esting account of the national cemetery, located two miles .north of that city, on a beautiful height overlooking the majestic Mississippi river—land in which is to be de posited the remains of from thirty to forty thousand Union soldiers all belonging to Western States. It comprises forty acres purchased by the Government for that pur pose. The remains of all that have been buried between Helena, Arkansas, and Grand Gulf, Mississippi river, together with those of Champion Hill, and the Yazoo dis trict, are to bo removed to this cemetery. Those interred between Grand Gulf and the tnoutfi of Red river are to be removed to cemeteries at Natchez. Already several thousand bodies have been interred, One petrified body has been exhumed under a sand-bar that has been a long time under water. No mark or name could be found, but it was the body of a captain. Not only were the face, hair, whiskers, fic., perfectly natural, but every pert of the uniform, although one mass of stone, was perfect. Ho great was its weight that it came near sinking theskiff in taking it ashore. It had been a very large, fine looking man.—Chicago Journal. All for Love. Mr. J. tinuelles, a young clerk In the em ploy of Mr. J. A. Bances was deeply en amored of a young lady in this city. His suit seemed to prosper, and as he was a young man of irreproachable character the parents of the young lady offered no objec• Bons. But the course of true love never runs smooth. A rival made his appearance, and first love was forgotten tor the second, and the disappointed suitor rejected. On Monday last the young man hired a car riage, and after taking several turns around the puseo, put a pistol to his temple and blew out his brains. The act was witnesed by several persons who were taking the cars for Marianao, and a letter was found in the pocket of the deceased addressed to one of his relatives, in which he stated his intention of committing suicide. It seems to be getting quite fashionable of late that lovers inruba should either commit suicide, or destroy thenimelves and the object of their affection together. The Romeo and Juliet style is getting in vogue, and soon we may chronicle other cases of the same nature.— Havana COMO. N. Y. Times. The south Carolinian.

It is said that the cap ital for the purchase of the paper has been mainly raised with the assistance of Gen. Wade Hampton, who will be one of the chief contributors to its columns. The general management of this new organ, it is understood, will be under the control of Beverley Nash, the leader of the conser vative colored men of Columbia. Scientific Expedition to Russian America. An expedition to Russian America is now being organized by the Department of State for the purpose of making thorough scien tific explorations of that region. It is thought that the expedition will be ready to start about the first week in May. The gentlemen to compose the scientific corps have not all been designated; but it is said that Professor Baird, of the Smithsonian Izistitute, will be of the number. The members of the corps are to assemble at San Francisco, where they will take the revenue cutter Lincoln and sail for Sitka, from which point the expedition will start on its investigations. tThe Swedenborgians Mr, White's new biography of Emanuel Swedenborg, just published in London, sums up the history of Swedenborgianism during the last hundred years. Of its pre sent condition, as regards religious opinion and spirit, Mr. White does not think very well, and of professed followers he shows that it has but few, three .thousand six hundred and five members being divided into fifty societies in England. The num ber of worshippers in seventy-four Ameri can communities is stated at three thousand seven hundred. But of the partial believers in Swedenborg the number is very great, and seems to be growing rapidly.

In ansVrer to an inquiry if the tax-payer is obliged to make an income return vrith out waiting for an official notification from the assessor, the New York Journalot Cbm mem replies: "This is the theory of the law, as the re= quirement is positively binding upon each individual. It is practically of no effect, however, inasmuch as the assessor must give ten days notice to each tax-payer be fore taking any other proceedings. The practice has been for the assessors to fur nish blank returns addressed to each per son on their list, and then to wait a reason-, able time for the .tax-payer to fill up and present the return. We presume that this will be the practice this year, but the changes in the law required a new set of forms, and the act was pot passed until after the period when these blanks should have been distributed. This has caused some delay, but with a disposition to mu tual accommodation on the part of both the officials and the people, there will be no occasion for trouble."

In most cases these are genuine hum bugs. But there are a few respectable firms Who do business In this manner, and they do It as a means of increasing their wholesale busi ness, and not to make money.

Every person gets good value for his dollar; because, as we have stated, it Is intended to set as au advertisement to Increase their ordi nary business. We have seen numbers of prizes sent out in this way by SHERMAN, WATSON S.

The death of Mrs. Witman deserves More than a mere passing notice. She was an af fectionate wife, an indulgent mother, and a kind neighbor; beloved and lamented by all who knew her; one who was ever ready and welling to administer to the wants of those in distreliss. Her love for her friends and acquaint ances flowed in the purest current, and her piety caught a glow from the Intensity of her leelings.\ Rigid and scrupulous to herself, she was charitable and indulgent to others. To children, lilt \ a particular manner, she was motherly in \ the truest sense of the word. With her the `tear of penitence washed away the stains of error; for she had gone up to the fountains of human nature, and knew all its weakness. As she advanced in years, she grew milder and more indulgent. When the storms of life had broken down her constitution, out of its wounds gushed the tide of sympathy and universal Christian charity. The woes of life crush the feeble, make more stupid the dull, and more vindictive the proud; but her pure mind and contrite soul was expanded with purer benevolence, and warmed with brighter hopes by suffering, that, through much tribu lation and anguish, the diadem of the saint is won. Her life exhibits a splendid catalogue of vir tues; to her resolution and Industry, she owed her aid-spread fame; to her sincerity and moderation, the affection of her friends; to her frugality, the means of benevolence; and to her prudence and integrity, the esteem and approbation of all who knew her. hese she retained with a contented mind and clear con science till she was summoned to receive her final reward. She had been afflicted for a num ber of years, which she bore with remarkable Christian fortitude: scarcely ever complain ing, bat often would say it was " Impo-sible for her to get well ;" yet every means which medical skill could devise-was used for her re covery, but all proved unavailing. It pleased the Almighty in His All-wise Providence to remove her from this earthly sphere; to transplant her from this terrestrial nursery to bloom and flourish in the amaran thine bowers of Paradise, where everything is lovely in that beautiful land. Oh ! that those whom she has left behind "shall see the King in his beauty; and behold the land that is very far off." Her removal has created a void, not only In her Immediate circle, but in the community in which she moved, that cannot be filled. God spared her life long enough to see her sur viving children grown to manhood and woman hood. with a prospect of becoming useful mem bers of society. She land no dread of death, always exhibiting a serene trust In the good ness of God, as well as an abiding faith in the glories of a future life. Her funeral was at tended by a large assembly of people, her rel atives and friends, who felt that in her death they hgcl all been bereaved, and manifested the tenderest sympathy with her sorrowing family. Although her affliction was of long duration, yet her death was somewhat unexpected to her family ; for she appeared to be considera bly better on the evening berore her death, which cheered the drooping spirits of those about her. But alas! It was of short duration. In a few short hours death came, and with his heavy hands snatched away from their em brace the dearest idol of their heart Into that untried state of existence unto which we are all fast hastening. But while we mourn her loss here below, we can cherish the hope that by acting well our part on this stage of life we will meet her in thatbetterworld where "sickness, sorrow, pain and death are felt and feared no more." Mother, thou west mild and lovely, Gentle as the summer's breeze ; Sweeter than the sparkling dew drops, When they hang among the trees. °Yet again we hope to meet thee, When the day of life la fled ; Then in Heaven With joy to greet thee, When ne farewell tear 15 Phiindelpiala Grata Market. - Yarraleatrltta, Azirll fB.—lli 171 . 1204 03. th F ln il s o d r a e lnli xtre l m sal ai l:S ci t ui ll e li t :011 . ); . e Tili fal 2 l7 lY datuagt 2s 4 except for haute Consumption 1 Penna. and Ohio, $13.13.
