COLUMBIA NEWS.—We clip the following
from the Herald.
The Fourth Annual Pie-Nic of the Colum
bia Fire Company will be held iu Heise's
Woods on the Fourth of July.
A spirited and interesting lecture was
delivered at Temperanco Hall, on Saturday
evening last, by Rev..Jno. Croullish.
The Friendless children from the Lancas
ter Home gave an exhibition in Union
School Hall on Monday evening, and were
well patronized. The Hall was tilled and
the exercises were creditable alike to the
children and managers of the Home.
They remained in town over night, and
were well cared for by our citizens. The
streets on Tuesday morning were quite
lively, as the heads of different families
marched their preciolls charges to the depot.
They left in the 8:30 A. M., train, singing a
farewell song as the cars were moving out
of town.
The Coal Sehutes.—The work on this
structure is progressing finely, the coffer
dant will be completed this week, when an
endless chain pump some GO or 70 feet long
with square buckets about 0 by 10 inches
driven by a locomotive engine, will be used
for pumping out the water; the excavation
will ho pushed with as largo a gang of
workers as can be used in the basin. After
the earth is removed, three piers of cut sand
stone are to be put in, each 6 feet thick, 200
meet long and 20 feet high for the support of
the wood structure. These schutes are be
ing built by the Reading /Ir. Columbia Rail
road, and are to be used for the coal brought
ova• said road in transit for Baltimore
through the Tide Water Canal.
All kinds of business in our borough is
in a flourishing and prosperous condition.
The great competition in thedry goodsline,
stimulated our merchants to keep•larger
stocks, has attracted a large trade from the
country around, which otherwise would
have gone to other places, and they aro
now realizing in fact, what all have taught
in theory, that competition is the life of
trade. Our grocers, butchers and bakers
are doing an increased business, in conse
quence of all our mechanics and -laborers
being employed on full time, and the
huge number of stone cutters and labor
ers employed by James H. Shulliban,
contractor for building the Coal'Schutes for
the Reading and Columbia Railroad. The
demand for building timber and materials,
keeps our saw mills and planing mills busy,
and creates an active demand for lumber of
all kinds. Our furnaces are running on full
time, and turning out pig metal to their full
capacity, and the Susquehanna Iron Com
pany is making immense quantities of mer
chant iron of all sizes and shapes, and fur
nishing to the trade at as low a price as it
is furnished at any place in the United
States.
The flourishing condition of our larger
traders and manufacturers, fills our hotels
and boarding houses to overflowing, and
exerts a telling influence on all our smaller
traders, restaurants and saloons. All of
which is the result of a determination on the
part of our citizens to place Columbia in her
proper position, and make her one of the
largest inland manufacturing towns in the
State. For the benefit of our slow neighbors
who are complaining of a stagnation in
business, we wtll inform them that our
business men have been i.dvertising during
the last six months, about three times as
much as usual, which Is the whole secret of
their success. Co and do likewise.
MOUNT JOT AFFAIES.—We olip the fol
lowing items from the Herald of this
morning:
Fire.—A slight fire occurred at Kurtz's
Tannery on Friday morning, which was
discovered before any great damage was
done.
Lightning.—During the heavy thunder
shower on Tuesday the telegraph office in
this place was struck by lightning. without
however doing much damage. The report
was heard nearly all over town.
Improve nient3.—The spirit of improve
ment is reviving in our town, We notice
among others, a new Wilco by Dr. J. L.
Ziegler, East Main street, opposite the
Herald office, Mr. Cobles dwelling remod
died on W. Main street, Stager's carpet
factory and a dwelling on W. Donegal
street, and a cabinet maker shop by M.
Spickler on David street. P. Frank Is also
painting his tine brick house and otherwise
improving the premises. These, with the
two new churches that are going up, gives
quite a busy aspect. We are in need of a
good many new houses, and we hope they
will he put up.
Daring Feat.—A few days ago the most
remarkable and dangerous feat we ever
heard of was accomplished in this place by
little Simon Caderon Brady, son of Mr. C.
H. Brady. The circumstances are these:
He threw his ball on the roof of the house
and it rolled down into the eaves trough.
After having vainly attempted to get a lad
der from his father, he went to the gable
end of the house, a large two-story brick
building; and ascended the lightning-rod
to the peak of the roof. Alter having
thrown himself around the chimney, he
walked down the side of the roof, picked
his ball out of the eaves trough and threw
it down on the pavement. He then walk
ed up to the peak of the roof, swung himself
around the chimney upon the lightning-rod
and descended to the ground. All this was
accomplished in about three minutes time.
The Herald goes on to praise this feat of
the namesake of the Winnebago Chief in
such a manner as will be likely to eventu
ate in encouraging the youthful accrobat to
turn his entire attention to tight rope exer
cises. If he does not break his neck, he
may turn out a first-class elms performer.
HOME BUILDING FITED.--Tho Managers

HEARIN() BEFORE THE UNITED STATES
COMMISSIONERS.—Benj. Breitigon, Chas.
W. kreiter, Isaac P. Bomberger, and Wm.
L. Reed, of this county, were before Com
missioner Sergeant of Philadelphia, last
week, on the charge of removing
spirits from a distillery to other than a
bonded wart•le,u The following testi
mony was taken in the case:
James B. Henderson sworn —I am a
Revenue Inspector; reside at Middletown,
Dauphin county; I know Benj. Breitigan,
C. W. Kreiter, Isaac F. Bomberger, and
Wm. L. Reed; Bomberger and Reed are
agents of the Columbia Railroad, at Litiz;
the others are distillers; Breitigan lives one
and a quarter miles from Pennsville; Kreiter
at Litiz; I had a conversation with Kreiter
in reference to shipment of spirits; on the
9th of May I heard that a car load of
whisky, manifested as malt, was shipped
from Litiz Station to Landisville; it was
shipped on the 6th; the car was consigned
from Litiz to Landisville, and from Landis
ville to Marysville; I went to Marys
ville and could get no information ;
at Litiz asked Mr. Bomberger about that
load of whisky which was manifested
malt; Bomberger said he was told it was
malt, and manifested it so; afterwardslearn
ed it was whiskey, and received orders from
the general freight agent to change his
books so as to show it was whiskey, in
stead of malt. He told me they handed
some bags and barrels to and from the car,
and gave me way bills (way bills pro
duced) ; Bomberger handed me these when
I asked him about it. The load was in a
Pennsylvania Railroad car, and shipped as
rye. I then went to Harrisburg, after that
car load of whiskey again ; went to a liquor
store, Roderm Harris, and found 30 barrels
of whiskey on the books.
Bomberger denied shipping it as a fraud ;
I asked Mr. Kreiter afterwards if he ship
ped whisky to Harrisburg as malt ; this was
on the 10th day ofJune ; Kreiter said, " You
can well shut that thing up if you want to
do it;" he did not acknowledge that it was
his whisky; this was all about the Kreiter
affair; I went to Breitigan's distillery on
the afternoon of the 12th of June, went
through into the mill connected with it ;
met Breitigan who seemed much frightened ;
laid his hand on my shoulder, saying, "My
God, I hope you did not seize that whisky
yesterday ;" did not know he had shipped
any whisky on the 11th until he told me so ;
he said he was informed by his son in the
morning that I had seized the whisky;
he said "I always liked your face, and
as we 01l like money, if you do not tell
Mr. Wiley I will give you $5OO a month
and the best part of the shipment," (twenty
three barrels); I told him that would suit
me very well; but that he would have to
see the agent was right at Litiz, or where he
shipped the whisky from; I done this to get
thp information from him ; he told me Mr.
Bomberger was right, and would manifest
that car load of whisky as grain ; Bomber
ger was not present; I asked Breitigan
about the whisky he shipped to Philadel
phia; he said, " I shipped eight barrels;" I
told him be shipped sixteen, eight on the
16th and eight on the 29th of May ; he denied
it; I told him I knew it; he said there was
no account of that whisky; it was emptied
and gone, and no one would know anything
about it; before I left, Mr. Breitigan told
me to come In the mill, and be would give
me a check for $5OO ; I told him to keep the
check, I would call for it when I wanted it;
I then took the night train, and seized the
twenty-three barrels of whisky at Harris
burg, on the Lebanon Valley Railroad,
which was manifested grain.
A. N. Cassel, sworn—l know there have
been twenty-three barrels whiskey seized
lately ; I own the car in which it was ship-
pad; I don't know of my own knowledge
where it was ; the car was loaded at Raths
villa ; loaded between six and seven in the
morning; I think it was the day before it
was seized; I was present at the time; the
car was taken to Harrisburg; Kreiter said
he was going to leave, but did not say
where ; he said he thought it would be best
to ship it as grain; he then left the distille
ry in his wagon; I left and went to the de
pot; from there I went to the hotel; I did
not see my car again that evening ; next
morning my cur was loaded; I saw Krei
ter haul barrels, but do not know the
contents; Mr. Bomberger did not see
the car; he asked me the weight 01 the car,
and I told him it was loaded with grain ; I
do not know from whom it came, or to
whom it belonged; Mr. Barr engaged the
car; Kreiter's distillery is about two and a
half miles from the place where my car
was; Kreiter hauled the barrels that were
notseized ; they were placed in mycur in the
evening, and in the morning live or six bar
rels were gone.; I had no conversation with
any one in reference to the removal of the
barrels.
Dist Het Attorney Valentine asked for the
binding over of Breitigan, Kreiter and
Bomberger.
Mr. Bomberger was held in $l,OOO bail
and Kreiter and Breitigan in $2,000 each.

Petty Thieves In the State Capitol Gather•
Inc Up the Crantbs left by their
tens.
A few days , since information was re
ceived by the - chief of police that thieves
were at work in the attic of the capitol,
where has been stored for want of room
elsewhere, hundreds of valuable congres
sional documents and books of reference.
Very often during the past few modths,
books have been missed, and though the
thieves have not been detected, yet strong
suspicions have been excited against cer
tain parties, who, in their good standing
as members of the "God and morality
party," had obtained positions as clerks,
messengers and "hangers on" about the
Hill.. These rapacious individuals had
upon more than one occasion evinced a
sort of hankering after the "spoils," but
they escaped "scot free" until yesterday.
The taxpayers of the Commonwealth,
though overburdened with taxes forced
upon them, have no idea of the amount
of plundering and pilfering which has
taken place. The people of Harrisburg
alone know what has become of the ele
gant carpets at the close of each session,
the hundreds of old (?) desks, chairs and
other furniture, which is constantly re
placed, together with the "laid aside"
lumber, coal, wrapping paper, ink, sta
tionery, &c., i kc. Never has there been a
public sale of this debris since the Aboli
tion party gained ascendency in the Com
monwealth, and, we were informed yes
terday, by a gentleman who is presumed
to be in the confidence of the "ring," that
the value of the material sold (waste
paper, (kc.) amounts to over $2OO per week,
and we have never heard of one dollar of
that sum being accounted for to the State.
A few days ago George H. Morgan, Esq.,
Assistant State Librarian, found a number
of covers, torn from valuable works, in the
attic of the Capitol, the covers remaining,
but the body of the volumes had evidently
been carried away. He at once notified
officer Campbell of the fact, and the Chief
commenced in his thorough and indefatiga
ble way, to search for the stolen books. Sev
eral shops known to purchase waste paper,
&c., were visited, but nothing of the kind
was found, until a visit was paid by the
chief, with officers Osler and Black, to the
paper warehouse of Mr. Abraham Rapp,
in Short street. where was discovered tons
of old waste paper, such as filed letters,
pamphlets, &c., from the offices on the Hill,
together with 180 volumes of the Adjutant
General's Report for 1866, with the covers
torn from them, and 200 volumes of the
Statutes of the United States at large with
the Treaties with Foreign Nations, &c.,
Sze. These latter volumes were in un
opened packages, having been received
from the Interior Department, Washing•
ton, D. C., only three days ago, addressed
to "The Governor of the State of Penn
sylvania." The Statutes are publish
ed by Little, Brown & Co., Boston,
Mass„ at a heavy cost to the Government,
they being valued at $5 per volume. But
the above, though it would seem to have
well recompensed any ordinary thieves, did
not satiate the craving appetite of the pilfer
ers on the Hill. Several thousand copies of
the Legislative Record, which, according to
Mr. Bergner, were only delivered to the
Librarian of the Senate on Wednesday last,
were found with the plunder, as was also
discovered a large number of the reports of
the Board of Claims, of the Military Depart
ment, of the Executive Office, and to cap
the climax, " loyal pilferers" even sold to
Mr. Rapp a number of mail bags belonging
to "Uncle Sam!" Loyal men! with your
loyalty pocket deep! Honest, virtuous, up
right men, philanthropic Christian gentle
men—adherents to the "God and morality
party, has it come to this? But, to return
to the " manipulations." Officer Campbell,
upon the information which he received,
and after consulting with the proper parties,
$3.50
. 4.73
. 8.00
. 0.30

arrested a man styling himself " Captain "
A. J. Rupp, messenger in the Adjutant
General's office, who has been known in
community for some time past as a loud
mouthed Abolitionist, ever prating ofloyal
ty and "grand moral ideas." This is the
Christian gentleman who is alleged to have
"goldbled " the one hundred and eighty
volumes of the Adjutant General's Report.
How long Rupp has been engaged in his
dishonest peculations we are unable to say,
but we "suspect" that he has made au
exceedingly good thing out of the merely
ornamental position of messenger of the
Adjutant General's office.
Mr. Abram Rapp, the paper dealer, at
his hearing before the Mayor yesterday
morning, stated that he had purchased
books, paper, &c. ' from time to time of the
man Rupp, fA. R. Sharp, who claims to
be Assistant Superintendent of the Capitol
Grounds, and of two young men connected
with the House of Representatives named
William Cooper and Albert Cooper. All of
the above parties were before the Mayor
yesterday, as was also William J. Lucas,
Thomas Numbers. and William Styers,
who are employed in different departments
upon the hill. Rupp and Sharp entered
bail in the sum of $OOO each, to answer the
charge of larceny at court, and the brothers
Cooper were bailed by John A. Smull for
a further hearing this (Saturday) morning
at 10 o'clock. Lucas, Numbers and Styers
were bound over to appear at Court and
testify in the eases, while Mr. Abram Rapp,
the p ,per dealer, entered bail in the sum of
$l,OOO for his appearance at court to answer
the charge of receiving stolen goods.
The police are making every effort to fer-
ret out further particulars of the transac
tions of the thieves, and we expect to hear
of further developments in the course of a
few days. We iieed not continue, as we
could at length, to recapitulate the opera
tions of the "cormorants" who have in
fested the hill like "bloodsuckers" during
the past few years, but we would remark,
that justice demands that there shall be no
hushing up of this matter—but that each
and every party implicated shall answer
at court, and if found guilty let the law
be vindicated, and sentence given to such
an extent, as will serve to break up the
nefarious and villainous peculations, which
have so detracted from the fame of our State
Government, and disgraced the workings
of our State Legislature.
On Saturday morning a hearing was had
on the case. Wien Forney, State Librarian,
being sworn, testified that books during his
term of office had repeatedly and constant
ly been stolen from the rooms in the attic,
where they were stored away. The thiev
ing nod been going ou so long that witness
had Mr. Morgan, his assistant, and officer
Campbell go to stores where paper, itc., was
bought, to ascertatn whether books had
been disposed of. About one year ago wit
ness had a padlock placed on the door open-
ing into the attic, but the padlock was soon
broken off. This circumstance left the im
pression upon the witness' mind that parties
were stealing books. Witness could not
say who was guily of the robberies.
George Bergner, sworn. The Records
found at Rapp's were partly furnished ten
days ago, and a portion were delivered
only upon Wednesday, the 19th inst.
Mr. 'Jones (foreman in the State printing
office) sworn. The Adjutant General's
Repo - Ns were printed at the State office, and
none were delivered before the 13th of
...-• - . • -
Mayl The Reports cost the State $2.25
each—fifteen thousand being ordered. A
small number of the Reports cannot be
printed for less than $5 each.
Maj. John C. Harvey (Assistant Adjutant
General, Pa.) sworn. The books taken are
Adjutant General's Reports for 18611. Such
books could not be considered waste
paper, nor would such a number have
fallen into one man's hands honestly.
John A. Ross (messenger to the Secretary
of the Commonwealth) sworn. Eight bags
of U. S.' statutes, from Washington, came
by mail to the Governor, and wore deposi
ted in a packing room in the basement of
the Capitol. Two bags were stolen, six
bags remaining.
ohu W. Davis sworn. Am night watch
man employed at the Capitol. Have seen
bags taken away frequently, though always
in daylight. 1-lave seen Wm. Cooper with
hand-carts carrying away filled bags. Can
not say what the bags contained.
MORE PLUNDER FOUND.
Since the hearing, officer Campbell, with
he Assistant State Librarian, have return-
ed from Papertown, near Carlisle, where
they made a search of the paper mills of
Win. B. Mullen th, Co., to whom Mr. Rapp
had been soiling.
Chief of Police Campbell went to a paper
mill near Carlisle, and returned to-night
with nearly a ton of the stolen property, in
cluding about 850 volumes (*he Adjutant
General's last report, and other public do
cuments, with the backs torn off. Four
bags full of the Adjutant Gene' al's reports
had been cut up at the mill on Friday and
Saturday. The volumes recovered can be
rebound. The Adjutant General's reports
were those which had been intended for
distribution among the members of the Le
gislature, and were not taken from the Ad
jutant General's office, nothing being miss
ing from that department. A number of
United States mail bags were recovered. A
partner of Rapp, the receiver, has been ar
rested. These affairs cause great excite
ment here.
Further Developments—" Some" of the
Plunder Secured—Valuable Records
Recovered—Carpets on the Floors of
Prominent Radical Official!.
[From the Patriot and Union of Tuesday.]
The visit of officer Campbell, with George
H. Morgan, Assistant State Librarian, to
the paper mills of W. B. Mullen & Co.. at
Papertown, near Carlisle, has developed a
state of facts appalling to all honest men.
Eight hundred and fifty voLumes of books,
consisting of volumes belonging to the State
Library, and to the different departments
upon the Hill, were found, consisting of al
most complete dies of the Senate and Hotise
for eighty years back ; "Digest of the Laws
of Pennsylvania, by John W. Purdon,
1831 ;" Canal ;Commissioners' reports for
several years ; Binney's, Dallas' and
Wheaton's reports of cases argued and ad
judged in the Supreme Court of the United
States; "Laws of Pennsylvania, 1797, by
A. J. Dallas ;" catalogues of State Library;
"Public Lands, Laws, Instructions and
Opinions," and other books and documents
too numerous to mention, besides the
original manuscript Journal of the Senate,
embracing a period of about fifteen years.
All this material was sold to Mr. Mullen
licit week. The following shows more
minutely the material belonging to the
State', brought frOrti Mr. . Bitilleit'a mill, at
Papertown

18 bags, 1812 pounds, containing MO volumes.
The above is only what was found " on
hand" at the paper mill. We understand
that Mr. Mullen has at various times pur
chased over one hundred bags of books, do
cuments, &c., from Mr. Rapp, which, if
each bag contained fifty volumes, would
make a total of over five thousand books of
which the Statehas been robbed. This may
be a small matter in the opinion of some,
but it approaches in our judgment a mag
nitude which demands the closest exami
nation and scrutiny at the hands of the
proper authorities here. But, that which has
been referred to is not a tithe of the mate
rial which has been stolen. Thousands of
pounds of Legislative Records, Senate and
House files, Auditor General's Reports
and other documents have been sold
to other parties than Mr. Rapp, and yet
all the time that this plundering and
thieving has been going on, strange to
say not a State official has made informa
tion to the Mayor, or expressed a desire
that the thieves might be ferreted out by
the police ! While the dupes who have now
been detected in these robberies deserve the
full punishment of the law, there are men
in high places whose strange conduct, while
these plunderings have been going on, has
excited suspicions as to their honesty and
integrity, and we hope (not only in justice
to them, but the Commonwealth, whose
sworn servants they are,) they may be
forced to account for their strange conduct.
Certain it is, that an amazed and indignant
public demand that the real offenders shall
be punished, and that there shall be no
"hushing up" of a matter so vital to the
cause of justice and security.
It is but recently we heard of a citizen of
this place (an ex•superintendent of the
Capitol Grounds) whose parlor floor is cov
ered with carpet exactly similar to the one
now in the parlors of the Executive man•
sion, and cut from the same piece ! No one
can forget what occurred with the valuable
mourning material used at the Lincoln
funeral obsequies in this city, which cost
the State over $5,000. It was hut a day or
two after the corpse of the "lamented
martyr" had left the city, that a prominent
official was observed wearing an exceed
ingly stylish outfit, cut frum the tnourning
cloth which had covered the ashes of the
dead President. We have no doubt that if
the Mayor would issue search warrants to
the police, that thousands of dollars worth
of property belonging to the taxpayers could
be found adorning the residences of
"nabobs" in the Abolition party at this
place. The citizens of Harrisburg, and of
the Commonwealth, expect that Mayor
Edward will not fail at this moment, to do
his whole duty as a sworn official.
The Trial of John IL Sorratt, for the
Murder of Abraham Lincoln.
WASHINGTON, June 21.
The Surratt trial still continues to excitiV
great interest, and the attendance on the
part of the ladies is increasing daily.
The question of retaining witnesses again
came up and counsel for defence urged their
right to have the opportunity afforded of
recalling and cross examining them.
Affidavits were filed by the prisoner setting
forth reasons for the request made by his
counsel. The matter was not finally de
cided.
Mr. Brook, stable-keeper, was recalled
and his examination continued. He testified
further as to the intimacy of Su 4 rratt with
Booth and Atzerott.

Pennsylvania Avenue on the day of the
assassination;

the party; cannot be mistaken; never seen
him before that day ; have never seen him
since until DOW ; did not speak to Booth.
After some argument in regard to recall

'WASHINGTON, June 22.
The trial of Surratt was resumed to-day,
with the usual large attendance.
Mrs. Martha Murray sworn. She testified

Hon. Frederick W. Seward was sworn
and testified to the occurrences connected
with the attempt to kill his father. Mrs.
Frederick Seward and Col. Augustus Sew
ard, were also sworn and examined, testi
fying to the same effect, in regard to the at
tempt of Payne to murder Hon. W. H.
Seward.
James L. Maddox, sworn, and testified :
He was property man at Ford's theatre;

coln ; saw some one run off the stage and
pass out; was so much excited and con
fused that he did not notice clearly ; rented
Booth a stable near the theatre in which be
kept a horse; saw Booth in front of the
theatre about 4 o'clock on the afternoon of
the 14th of April.
George W. Robinson, Sworn. Counse_
for defence inquired what was expected to
be proved by witness, and on being in
formed that he was to testify aslto the assault
on Secretary Seward, objected to the testi
mony as irrelevant. It was admitted by
the Court and the witness stated that he
was present in the capacity of nurse to Mr.
Seward. He gave an account of the as
sault.
John V. Pyles was sworn and testified
that he was a Justice of the Peace in Prince
Georges county, Md. ; John Surratt came to

thinks the object stated by him was to se
cure some property to his mother in case he
did not return, as he said he was going
away to Canada to avoid the draft; partly
understood him to desire to raise money and
to secure his mother.
The question in regard to recalling wit
nesses again came up and was argued by
counsel.
The Court reserved a decision upon the
motion until Monday morning, as it was
time to take a recess.
The jurors asked if they would be per
mitted to attend church to-morrow in a
body.
Mr. Bradley said any church except the
Catholic.
Mr. Plerrepont said they agreed the jury
should go to any church.
Mr. Bradley said hewas glad to hear that,
for the prosecution had refused to allow
Catholics on the jury.
The Court directed, however, that the
jurors should be kept together, and that if
they went to church they must go in a body.
The Court then took a recess until 10
o'clock Monday morning.
WASHINGTON, June 24.
The trial of John H. Surratt was resumed
this morning in the Criminal Court, Judge
Fisher presiding.
The attendance was larger than upon any
previous occasion. The jurors came into
Court at 10 o'clock, and a few minutes after
the prisoner was broughtin. Amongst the
visitors in the Court-room was Gen. Grant.
As soon as the Court had been called to
order, Judge Fisher read his opinion upon
the motion submitted on Saturday by the
defence, asking the recall of witnesses for
the purpose of further cross-examination!;
the opinion refuses to grant the request
made by the defence. The defence noted
an exception, and Mr. Merrick desired to
file an affidavit bearing on the same matter
but the counsel for the prosecution objected,
and the Court said the affidavit should have
been filed before the opinion was delivered.
Dr. J. F. May was sworn, and examined
by Mr. Wilson. He knew John Wilkes
Booth, and on one or , esion, while Booth
was playing an engagement here, witness
performed a surgical operation upon his
neck; it left an ugly, square scar; witness
saw the body of Booth afterwards on the
monitor at the Navy Yard, a day or two
atter he was killed; witness identified the
body of Booth, and found the scar upon his
neck ; the scat had been previously descri
bed to the Surgeon General ; the operation
was performed on Booth's neck about aear
before the assassination of the President;
the scar was a very ugly one, because after
it had partially healed it was torn open
while Booth was playing on the stage.
John Greenawalt was sworn and testified
to the intimacy of Booth and Surratt; At
zerott boarded at his house, and both Sur
ratt and Booth frequently came there ; saw
Atzerott on the morning after the assassi
nation: was unable to fix the time when
he' last saw Surma.
John M. Lloyd, sworn and examined.
This witness kept s tavern owned by Mrs,
Su.tratt, at Stitrattville, and gave adiaailed
eaten:mint at the circumstances etainected
with the bringing of two carbines to the
house by John H. Barrett, about six weeks
before the assassination; to meeting . Mrs.
Burratt on the Tuesday before the
nation, and being told to have the arms
ready; as they would soon be called for ;
and to giving them up to Harold, who first
informed him of the murder of Mr. Lin
coln, on the night of the assassination,
aboutl2 o'clock. On being cross -exairdned
the witness stated that he had been
induced to testify on the former trial
by threats; and admitted that he bad
been in the habit of drinking to such an
extent as to impair his memory and other
facilities, and that he had gone to bed drunk
on the night when he alleges Harold called
for the arms, and told him of the assassina
tion. The testimony of this witness was to
a great extent a mere repetition of that
given by him on the former trial. Without
examining any other witness the court ad
journed.
A Philadelpida Theatre Burned.
About half-past nine o'clock on Wednes
day evening a fire was discovered in the
stables in the rear of the American Varieties
Theatre, on Walnut street, above Eighth.
The audience assembled in the theatre was
a large one, and they were made aware of
the presence of fire at about the time it was
announced from the stage. The audience
retired in good order though there were
symptoms of a panic, which was promptly
checked through the exertions of several of
the audience, who, with great presence of
mind, begged those present not to be alarm
ed, as there was no immediatedanger.
The audience had hardly escaped when
the flames burst forth, and the streets were
made as bright as day with the glare of the
flames. The fire for a while baffled all the
efforts of the firemen to control it.
The firemen saw that it was useless to
endeavor to save the theatre, and directed
their efforts to propel ty in the vicinity. The
rear of the houses situated on Eighth street,
between Walnut and Sansom streets, were
all in flames; but they were saved from
total destruction through the energetic
efforts of the firemen.
The theatre is a mass of ruins. It was
an old building, and has been an unfortu
nate one for its owners. The Gale sisters
were burned here several years ago, under
Wheatley's management ; and some thirty
rears ago it narrowly escaped destruction
by fire.
It was under lease to Robert Fox, who
lately, through superior attractions, had
been attracting crowded houses. His loss
is a heavy one. The company also are suf
ferers, having lost the most of their ward
robe.
There is a rumor that a well known comic
vocalist, Fattie Stewart, is missing, as he
has not been seen since the conflagration,
The rear of the Continental Hotel was In
danger, but the building is supplied with a
complete fire apparatus, which was kept
employed upon the roof of that building,
deluging it with water.
The fire attracted thousands to the vicin
ity, who remained until the flames were
brought under subjection, which was about
half past ten o'clock. This is the most se
rious fire that has occurred in this city in a
long time.
The front wall of the theatre fell at about
twenty minutes to eleven o'clock, burying
in the ruins and instantly killing John Lutz,
a member of the Hibernia Engine Clomps
ny, a member of the Franklin Company, a
boy, and a fireman said to be a member of
the Columbia Hose. It is rumored that
nine were killed in all; but one reported
killed is still alive, though there is no hope
of his recovery. There were some eighteen
or twenty wounded, several seriously.

P. M.—A. letter from Fort Dodge, Kansas,
on the Santa Fe road says, that on the 30th
ult., a band 01 Indians numbering 150, led
by Satanta, Chief of the Kiowas, who lat
terly made treaty with Gen. Hancock, dash
ed up within 400 yards of the Fort and
captured 02 horses belonging to company
13, 7th Cavalry. Only two men werr on
guard, one of which escaped, but the other
had live arrows shot into his body, the gar
rison rescued him in a dying condition.—
The Indians escaped with the stock. Dur
ing the name night two men came into
the Fort, closely pursued by Indians
and stated that the Kiowas were murder
ing settlers and stealing stock 30 miles west.
Company I, 37th infantry, were at once put
into six mule wagons and sent in pursuit
but up to the 16th inst., nothing had been
heard from them. The railroad employees
west of Ft. Harken were attacked and
driven in. Many Mexican trains on the
Santa Fe road are in great danger. The
letter states that the border settlers are flee
ing to the military forts, leaving their prop
erty behind them. The citizens of Colorado
have raised a large fund, and offer $2O for
each Indian scalp. Over 200 men have
taken the field in small parties to obtain
scalps.
PHILADELPHIA, June 25.—The Evening
Bulletin has received the following special
dispatch:
SALINA, KAS., June 24.—The Indians
have just driven all the - Union Pacific Rail
way bands into Fort Parker. The citizens
are moving into this place and other points
along the road for protection. Business
will have to be suspended, and all the
citizens will be called on to serve for the
common defense.
Sixteen of the twenty-eight mall stations
have been attacked within the past week,
and the mules, horses and cattle have been
driven off. Three men have been killed
and two wounded within 45 miles of Fort
Harker. There seems to be a general attack
on the line of the U. P. Railway, E. D.,
from Fort Harker to Fort Wallace. The
men are leaving their work.

He died in 30 minutes idler being shot.
Hart was sent to jail for trial. The jealousy
of the deceased and suspicion of Hart's in

US. DR. SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS.
A SUBSTITUTE FOR CALOMEL
These Pills are composed of various roots, having
the power to relax the secretions of the liver, as
promptly and effectually as blue pill or mercury, and
without producing any of those disagreeable or dan
gerous effects which often follows the use of the latter.
In all bilious disorders these Pills may be used with
confidence, as they promote the discharge of vitiated
bile, and remove those obstructions from the liver and
billary ducts, which are the cause of bilious affections
In general.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills cureSIFI: Headache, and
all disorders of the Liver, indicated by sallow skin
coated tongue, costiveness, drowsiness, and a general
feeling of weariness and lassitude, showing that the
liver is in a torpid or obstructed condition)
Is short, these Pills may be used with advantage In
all cases when a purgative or alterative medicine is
equired.
Please ask for Dr, Schenck's Mandrake Pills," and
observe that the two likenesses of the Doctor are on
the Government stamp—one when' in the last stage of
Consumption, and the other In his present health.

.Cfr• Iron In the Blood.
The necessity of a due proportion of Iron in
the Blood is well known to all medical men;
when it becomes reduced from any cause
whatever, the whole system suffers, the weak
est part being first attacked, and a (ogling of
languor, lassitude and "all goneness " per
vades the system. The remedy is simply to
supply the blood with the necessary quantity
of iron. This can be done by using the
PERUVIAN SYRUP,
a protected solution of the protoxide of Iron
which is so prepared that it assimilates at
once with the blood, giving strength, vigor
and new life to the whole system.
To take medicine to cure diseases occasioned
by a deficiency of IRON IN THE BLOOD,
without restoring it to the system, is like try
ing to repair a building when the foundation
is gone.
An eminent divine says: " I have been using
the PERUVIAN SYRUP for some time past;
it gives me new vigor, buoyancy of spirits,
elasticity of muscle."
Pamphlets containing certificateS of cures
and recommendations from some of the most
eminent physicians, clergymen and others,
will be sent free to any address.

The wonderful effects of Moffat's Life Pills in cases
of mental depression or physical weakness, proceed
ing from indigestion, costiveness, or bilious seem
lons are certified to by millions of persons who have
been benefitted by them. They are the most effective
cathartic and purifier ever before the public and have
ever been in use since 18Z5. They are cheap, safe and
reliable. Sold by all respectable dealers everywhere.
A plain statement Of facts. I Inherited Scrofula,
and many of my relations have died of It. In 1829 my
case was frightfUL Tumors and ulcers spread until
In 1842, under the advice of my physicians I went to
Avon Springs. I received no benefit—tried every
medicine and did everything I could. I had to rest my
arm on a cushion, and had not been able to raise it to
my head for over a year. The discharge from two
ulcers was nearly a pint a day. Amputation was
recommended; but pronounced dangerous. I could
not sleep, and my sufferings were intolerable. A
friend brought me an English physician who applied
a salve with whieh he said he had accomplished ex
traordinary cures la the hospitals in England. It
commenced to relieve; persisted in its use; It finally
effected a perfect and entire cure. It Is now 1848. It
Is five years since I had the appearance of a scrofulous
sore, and my health has been good ever since. I
procured the receipt of his wonderful article—this
blessing of humanity—and have called; It " PAGE'S
CL.rsiAx. SALVE," and allow the public to use it or not
as'they choose. This Ls a brief but candid statement,
given more fully in my circular.

OBITUARY.
Departed this life on June 19th, 18C, Dr. John
K. Raub, aged 39 years, 3 months and 1 day.
In the departure from this world of the above
person the community ban lost an eminent
physician, an honorable gentleman, and a kind
and faithful friend. But few persons have ever
lived In the vicinity where he resided, and
where his life terminated, who occupied so
high a place in the minds of the people as the
deceased. He was not only respected and
oved, but the confidence of the community in
his medical skill was unbounded. And when
the sad duty had to be performed of placing
his remains in the tomb, the grief was visibly
universal. But few physicians have been more
successful In their practice; and without de
tracting from others, we are constrained to
say, that his place cannot soon be filled. He
was a worthy man, a kind husband, and a
devoted parent. And although he never made
a profession of his faith In the Saviour or sin
ners, yet In a preceding illness, bat a few
months ago, he called the writer to his sick
chamber to have his pious counsel and re
ligious services, preparatory to becoming a
member of the church, which important ate,.
was to take place about a month before his
death. His religious intentions were always
Rood and noble, but be frequently regretted his
his inability and want determination to carry
them out. Whatever failures and infirmities
