Murderous Attack, oti it Pcncenble Knn by u Hand of A iiu-Ulux. f From tbo Nashville Banner, March il’.j We learned yesterday of a piece of high banded deviltry being perpetrated on night before last, some thirteen miles from the eity on the Lebanon pike. James Owen, an industrious negro, rented last year a piece of ground from Mr. Thomas Teanor, for cultivation, and by dint of hard labor man aged to accumulate the snug little sum of §l,OOO. Some time since, Owen, who in the meanwhile was being -looked upon by the less fortunate of his color iu that neighbor iiood in an envious light, was unceremo niously ordered by a party of negroes recently arrived from Mi.-sissippi, und who were working one of the adjacent farms on shares,to leave the neighborhood imme diately or forfeit his lito as the result of dis obedience. This peremptory order be re fused to comply with, aud on night beforo last the party, composed of Sam Patton, Tom Gurney, and his two son 3, all colored, armed to the teeth, visited Owen’s house, and with loud oaths demanded admittance, und that too iu the dpad hour of the night. But Owen refused to open the door, where upon they attempted to break it down, lie then fired two shots at the assailants, which caused them to leuve the front of the house in hot haste. They then went to the back of the cabin and begun knocking the chinking out so as to shoot him through tbo wall. At this juncture he ran out Ht the door und attempt ed to oscape. The infuriated besiegers pur sued him with demoniacal yells and tired several shots at him, ouo of which took ef fect in tbe back of his head, but ho contin ued to run until he fortunately escaped.

Chicago, April 9.—A despatch to the Times fi otn St. Paul gives the details of the horrible murder which occurred on Wed nesday morning in Oakdale township, ten miles from that city. A farmer named James B. Grey, well known iu that section, in a lit of insanity killed his wife and four children, the latter consisting of two boys aged eighteen and eight, and two girls aged five and three years. The murderer was about forty old, a large and power fully built limn, and has many relatives in the neighborhood. lie has lately been suf fering from deafness, and grew insane over it. The deed wascommittedaboutduylight. The neighbors heard Mrs. Grey scream, and going to the house found the wife and four children cut to pieces with an axe, and the murderer endeavoring to hang himself. He was arrested and lodged in tbo St. Paul jail, where it required three or four men to hold hltn. In answer to inquiries he would only reply, “ I killed them all with an axe —oh hang me.” Tho wife was murdered first, being cut in the head and stabbed several times. The children were then murdered and placed in a row on the floor, their throats so badly cut as to nearly saver the heads from tho body. Tho murderer had evidently chopped their heads with an axe, mutilating them so as to render recognition almost impossible. The prisoner at intervals of the paroxysms of maniacal fury made a statement detailing the particulars of the murder. He says his motive was that be feared he was coming to poverty, and the family would be left destitute, and so thought it would be better to send them to Heavea nt once. The prisoner tried to beat his brains out several times, by jumping ugainst tho sides of his cell. Pickpockets on ibo Floor of tbe lions* Last Friday evening a gentleman from Philadelphia repaired to tho Capitol to wit ness the proceedings of tbe House the last night of the session, and being admitted to the floor by courtesy, grew weary about midnight, and laid down on one of tho lounges in the Hall. When he awoke, about 5 o’clock A. M., the House was still 'in session, but his watch bad been stolen from his pocket—having been detached from his chain, and his hat, which he laid on tao floor near by, wa9 also gone. He immediately made inquiry, and instituted search for tbe missing articles,' but they , were not to be found. Heco*uld not believe that he had been robbed in tbe House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled,” but so it was and he left the Hall about daylight, with a handkerchief over his head, in quest of a hat store. It has been notorious for several years, that the Treasury has been plundered by the majority of those who an nually assemble at the Capitol, but this is the first instance, I believe, where a gentle man's pocket has been picked in the Hall of Representatives. No wonder, poor Hal pioe, in his appeal to John Morrissey, said; These politicians deal from a faro-box false-bottomed wi' springs o’ patent “steal.’ From San Francisco.

General Stoneman, late commander of tbe first military district, alias Virginia, made a report to the Adjutant-General, at Washington, on the Slat ultimo, giving ,an official statement of bis administration, es pecially in connection with tho measures for replacing those oivil officers who were dis qualified, by. persons who could take the test oath of office prescribed by act of Con gress July 2,1862. After reciting the means which had been used under his direction by tbe agency of tbe military commissioners throughout the State, ana by a board of offioers of high rank, which was organized on January 25, to pass upon ali applications, with a view of filling tbe offices in the State of Virginia made vacant by joint resolu tion of Congress, passed February 8,1869, he gives the following as tbe resalts, as shown by the records: Number of offices in the State, 5,446; number filled by General Schofield, 532; number filled by General Stoneman, 1,972; number able to take the oath, 329; no mber of vacancies yet to be filled, 2,613. Gen. Stoneman adds: “ How many of those recently appointed will not accept, cannot qualify or will be onable to furnish tbe requisite bonds re mains to be seen, and this number sbonld be added to the vacancies yet to be filled. In accounting for tbe very small number of persons in tbe State who can take the test oath of office it must be taken into consid eration that Virginia was onegieat battle field during tbe war; that there was small chance for escape from tbe rigors of the conscript laws; that nearly every man was directly under the eye and control of the Confederate Government, and that at some time or other nearly every one gave ‘ aid, conotenaoce, counsel or encouragement to persons engaged in armed hostility’ to the government of the United States; and be sides, once having engaged in tbe war, pro bably no portion of thu Southern people, old and young, male and female, were more earnest in its prosecution. ‘‘The conclusion will force itself upon every intelligent mind that if, with all the efforts that have been made and tbe lati tude that has beeu allowed, the offices in tbe State have not been filled by competent persons, they certainly cannot be filled when the restrictions of any one party are to be observed and complied with, as will be the case upon the adoption of the pro posed constitution, under which it is desired by some that the people of Virginia shall be forced to live, and to Ihe requirementsof which they are expected to consent. As lo the character and qualifications of those ap pointed, though they are not in all cases wlmt could bo desired, yet they are in the main the best the material afforded. The fact should be taken into consideration that they iu most cases came from that class of persons who had never beiore been trusted by, uud iu many cases are comparative strangers to, the people. “Many were found who were willing to take the test oath who at some time, upon investigation, were proved to have been amongst tbe most active participants in the rebellion. These, witli a zeal ever animat ing new converts, were willing to take al most any oath which would secure them recognition and au office. Discretion was necessary in muking selections from this class. Very many who were known to have been Union men before, during and since the war, iiave not found it compatible with the dictates of (heir consciences to subscribe t<* the oath required by luw, and tbe ser vices of such have been lost to the State *‘My definition of loyally to the govern ment lias been more comprehensive than liiu dim adopted by some political lexi cographers who would restrict its uppli eitiion vo those, and to tWoso only, who were willing to pledgu themselves to vote for this or that candidate for some high office—the number ofthe loyal thereby being inverse ly proportionate to thu number of candi dates.” This is tlie report of one of tho mostgin tulligent, aud efficient officers the govern ment has had in its service during tbo war or since. Hu sees—what the experience of every Goveinor of Virginia, civil or mili tary, since the war must have made him cognizant of—that the offices of that State cannot be tilled by competent persona ,if the requirements of tho test oath are adher ed to. General Stonoman reports the financial condition of the State as, all things consid ered, good as could be expected, but its material iuterests are not prosperous. In regard to internal improvements, ail schemes and propositions looking towards tlie sale of any of tbe State’s interest in either of the railroads have been discontin ued, and tbe principles of consolidation or co operation established by the last Legis lation of Virginia obseryed. In the administration of civil affairs be says lie has not lost sight of the fact that civil law still existed in the State, and that (he courts of justice were open to all alike ; nor of the other fact that the people of Vir ginia were still citizens of the United States, and as such weru amenablo to tbo laws, and entitled to their protection. The following testimony to tbe good order which has prevailed and still prevails throughout Virginia, is of special value, and having been so lately submitted to the attention of the government, may not have been without its mlluence on the message of PresidontGrant to Congress recommending a constitutional election iu Virginia, with the separate vote on tlie most objectionable articles. With such facts as these, confirm ing as they do the testimony of Gen. Stone man’s predecessors, and the testimony founded on personal observation, of Presi dent Grant himself, the persecution of Vir ginia ought certainly to cease : “The general quiet and good order that has existed throughout the State since my last report, and even now exists, is, under all the circumstances, worthy' of special notice aud particular attention. “The only two cases of disorder worthy of mention, and which warranted military interference, are the one in Lee county, in the southwest corner of the State, a point running down between the two two States of Tennessee and Kentucky, and the other near Norfolk. The first wus caused by the conduct of a sot of fugitives from justice from Kentucky and Tennessee.—Orders were issued to secure their arrest. They left tho State, aud quiet was restored. “The other was caused by a misconcep tion on tho part of tbe negroes living on some farms abandoned during the war by tbu owners. Tbe negroes were made ac quainted with their duties, and no further trouble with them is anticipated.” A Congressman Banted Down. The following sketch from the pen of Don Piatt, the Washington correspondent of tho Cincinnati Commercial, has been made the subject of a very spirited carlciUure in Harper's Weekly: I was at work in my room yesterday, when a tall specimen-of upright humanity stalked in. “ Are you D. P. ? ” it asked. Since entering upon my vocation of cor respondent—l mean a truthful, independent correspondent—l regard that question with suspicion. I quietly reached out, and in a careless, graceful manner put my right hand on a paper weight of a few pounds, made of “ black-diamond-homogeneous cast-steel, bent cold,” for tbe use of tbe learned Committee on Commerce, and re garded my visitor closely. Ho was a man of about fifty-six, with a bald head, curious, sharp little eyes, on undecided nose, and chin that retreated intb a paper collar. His clothes were of what we call store goods in the Far West, and had evidently exhausted the genius of a village tailor. His legs were slender and shaky, not from age, but from a habit of never straightening them at the knee. I said to myself, this is not a fightist. lie shulllcH through lite. Ho has shuilled into office. >So 1 released my hold on tho paper weight, ami boldly responded : “ That is my name, air.” “ I am Mr. , member ofCongress from , 1 have read your letters. Mr. , the editor of our paper, told me to look you up.” “I am glad to know you, sir. Take a seat. What can Ido for you ?” “ I want some passes,” he said earnestly, seating himself. “What sort of passes?” “ Railroad.” “ 1 fear I cannot help you in that way, Mr. . I had a pass for myself and fam ily from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, but because, in return for the compliment, I said the President had a locomotive in his belly, lam cut off. But why do you want passes ? Are you preparing to runaway?” • “I wish I could,” he answered sadly. “I wish I could. No, that is not it. lam run down by office-seekers from my district. — Tb*y pile in on me at my boarding house. I have been sleeping every night on my bedroom floor. They follow me about and chase me down. They have smoked all my cigars and drank up all my whiskey, and now they are getting out of money and want to borrow. I heard where to find you; I made an excuse to go into an alley, and I ran away. A police officer thought I was a thief, aDd ran after me. I told him I was a member ofCongress, running from the office-seekers. He said that was rough, and let mo go. There is one—a woman worse than all the rest. She wants the best post-office I have. What in the infernal jinks does Grant mean by setting such an example? All the females in my district are writing to me, and two hundred will be here, somehow, if we don’t repeal this fool ish law and fill the offices, This woman torments my life out; and yet, if I give her the office, I'won’t dare go home. She tol lers me' up like Satan. I can’t sleep, I can’t put on a clean shirt, she pops in on me so unexpected. Now, if I had a railroad pass.” “How would that help you?” "I believe, if I could say to her, I can’t give you an office, but here is a railroad pass, she’d take it and go. But, Lord love you, I want a hundred. They’re getting out of money, I tell you, and if I only had ’em, Now, can you help me ? You news paper men always bave'lots of passes. The editor in our town hasn’t paid railroad fare for more’n twenty years. I had to assure my poor friend that I re ally could not help him. I suggested to him to get a sign painted, “Small-pox in this House,” and put it up over his door. “Pooh,” he cried, .“do you suppose they’d care for that? Every bloody one of’em would get vaccinated, and work In on me. Cholera would not keep ’em offi I wish I’d been sunk in eternal thunder beiore I con sented to come to Congress. Consented? I worked like a mule for it. It cost me all of $BO0 —more fool I. What can I do? My neighbors -and constituents wanted a na tional dog law, for the better protection of sheep, and to raise the price of wool. Why, it wonld take a fellow two years to learn the rules, and then I don’t think I could do a hooter. But cuss these office-seekers.” “ You are safe on the floor, however.” “Devil a bit. They get around the doors and send in their names. They run up in the gallery to gee if I’m there, and then down they oome. .1 hid.ln the barber shops every day for a week, before they fonnd me ont. And then Littiebang, who wanto to be' minister to Earope, wrote borne to the* paper and said I had been made chairman or the standing committee on hair.” How long my friend would have non tinned bis lamentations I cannot say, but be was interrupted by an arrival of sixteen of his friends, and left very dejected. D. F. i&ial gntettiptw. Improvement.—' The present Spring has evinced that the disposition to build and improve has not by any means ceased to exist umoDg some of thecilizens ol plodding old Lancaster. The noise of the hammer is now heard all day long in our principal streets, and tho demand for houses and for handsome store fronts has given rise to a gratifying spirit of improvement on the pai t. of real estate owners. Our Lancaster me chanics have in many instances acquired a fine reputation for tbo superiority of their work, and consequently aro constantly in receipt of orders for new supplies of their manufactures. Lancaster, situated in the midst of oue of the most fertile counties of the United States aod convenientto all that can promote the growth of a city, would, if sufficient enterprise were manifested by her citizens, soon attain a prominent position among tho enterprislog, growing aDd wealthy manufacturing cities of our State aud nation. The Fire.—A lire broke out on Wed nesday about 4 o’clock, in ihe roof ofthe double frame building in East Chestnut street, a short distance east of tbe Penn’a Depot, this city, belonging to Mr. John Best, of this place, and Mr. Benj. G. Getz, of Mountville, this county. The western portion of the building was occupied by Mr. Frank J, Steinhauser, aod the eastern portion by a widow lady named Mrs. Al bright. The part of the building where the fire originated was that in the occupancy of Mr. Steinhaaser, who was so nnwell that, when the fireoccnrred, he had to be assisted from the house. Tne firemen were prompt ly on hand with their engines aud soon checked the further progress of iho liauies, whietv4bx a time threatened to destroy not only the dwelling house but also the large frame foundry located west of and sepa rated from it by an alley. The damage done lo tlie furniture of Mr. Steinhauser by wuter is estimated at about $360; thu furni lure of Mrs. Albright was not nearly so .much injured. The Joss of Messrs. Best and Getz is about $6OO, as they had recently goue to considerable expense in repairing and repainting the building—all of which work will be necessary to be done over again. Their loss is covered by an insur ance of $l,OOO in the Lycoming Fire Insur ance Company. Tbe origin of the fire is accounted for in difi'erent ways—some sup pose it to have occurred from a defective flue, others that it was caused by a spark from the chimney or one from a locomotive on tbe Pennsylvania Railroad, wuieh passes near the building. The building bad a shingle roof. The House in Middle Street.— We notice that Dr. Benjamin MUhler is push ing with commendable energy the construc tion of the house to be built in thirty hours, adjoining the Lion Brewery, iu Middle street, tLis city. The contractors haye a lurge force of hands at work and tbe build ing, 18 by 40 feet in size, was at noon to-day constructed up to tho second story. The. carpenters have laid tho floors on the lirst ami second stories and have erected astair way. Thu plasterers are now at work in thu first Btory, ami the painters uroalso en gaged in painting the outside of tho build ing. I>r. Misbler will make good bis word —lie knows no such word as fail. A large crowd of interested spectators were wit nessing the progress of the work at tiio building to-day. Death of an Old and Esteemed Citi zen.—Mr. l’eter Long died at his residence in this city, on Wednesday last, in the 82nd year of his age. Tho deceased was a well known merchant, having carried ou busi ness near the same location in North Queen street, since the year 1804, and until within the past few months he might have been seen in this store almost daily, though not actively engaged in business. The deceased was never married. Few men live to such au advanced age, and still fewer continue steadfastly engaged in business for such a period of time. He was an elder brother of II( n. Henry G. Long, and leaves behind him a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn his loss. Hydroi’Houia— A Mad Dog at Large in Our City.- -Tlie dreadful disease of hy drophobia which has been prevailing to an alarming extent in many portions of our country lias at length made its appear ance in Lancaster. The disease is not j only propagated by tho dog, but also by : other auimals that may be bitten, and in ! this way its ruvuges are widely spread , and iuvulveeveu man himself iu , and death. It appears that one of itie j many worthless curs that infest our city, exhibited on Sunday morning very decided symptoms of hydrophobia, and running through our most public streets succeeded in biting at least eighteen or twenty dogs. Competent judges state that the conduct of the dog unmistakably indicated that he was suffering from an attack of hydrophobia, aud it therefore necessarily follows that each of tho curs bitten by him are now more dangerous to the community than so many rattle-snakes. We hope that all the dogs suspected to have been bitten will at once be dispatched by their owners— the public cannot afford to run any risks in so serious a matter. The surest way to prevent a dog from going mad is to - kill him. Gon. F:sher, Mr B. F. Cox and Mr. J. B. Btrine, by promptly shooting their dogs, are entitled to the thanks of our citizens, and it is hoped that others whose dogs were bitten will immediately do like wise. The route pursued by the rabid ani mal was from Centre Square up East King street to Duke, down Duke to Church street, and out the latter street. All tbe owners of dogs along this route, unless they are Rure of the contrary, do not know whether their dogs were bitten or not; the period that usually elapses between the re ception ofthe injury and the outbreak of the diseaso varies exceedingly, in some cases the malady does not manifest itsell until tbe 30th day after the bite is inflicted. All dogs along the said route should there fore at once be fastened or secured ro as to prevent valuable lives from being imperilled or lost. J It will seen in another column that the Mayor has issued a proclamation directing that from and after to day, the 13tb, and for thirty days thereafter all owners of dogs within the city limits are enjoined to have them properly muzzled or confined in some secure place, and the police officers have been instructed to be vigilant iu the enforcement of the laws od this subject; it is to be hoped that such will be the case and that every dog found running at largo un muzzled will be immediately shot. The policemen of the different wards should be active iu enforcing this law, for by so doing they will secure the commendation of all good citizens. If they fail to perform theirduty in this matter they will lie held responsible. Spoon Thief. —A fellow whose name is said to be Sunnings, and whose father is said to be a miller at Kauffman’s mil), on the Harrisburg turnpike, stopped last eve ning at John Sides’ Hotel, at the Pennsyl vania Railroad Depot, and asked for some thing to eat. After Sunnings had satisfied his appetite he proceeded to pocket two solid silver spoons which were m two mustard bottles, and concealing them in the lining of his coat, was proceeding to make i\ hasty exit from the premises. Beforo ho left, however, the spoons were found to be missing, and a search of Sunnings being instituted, they were found in his posses sion. The prisoner was then locked up in a room ana a policeman sent for to arrest him; but when tbe policeman arrived it was found that Sunnings had escaped out of a window and since then has not been seen or heard from. If we were not posi tively informed that tbe thief was Sunnings we would infer that Beast Butler, the prince of spoon thieves, bad stopped in our city on his way to Yankeedom Irom Washington, as Congress has recently adjourned. Analysis of tiik Bible.—The following analysis of the Old and New Testaments is takeD from an exchange—it will no doubt be interesting to our readers : Books in the Chapters Books in the New Testament. Chapters Verses 7,959 Words 181,253 Letters 835,380 The Apocraphy hath 183 chapters, 0,081 verses, 152,185 words. Whole number of words in the Bible, 3,718,665. The middle chapter, aud the least in the Bible, is Psalm 117, The middle verse is tho Bthof Psalm 117. The word “ in the Old Tes tament 35,543 times. The same in the New Testament also oc curs 10,684 times. The word Jehovah occurs 6,855 times. The middle book of the Old Testament is Proverbs. The middle chapter is Job 29. The middle verse is 2d Chronicles, chap ter 20, the 17 th verse. The last verse is Ist of Chronicles, Chap ter 1, and Ist verse. The middle book in the ;New Testament is 2d Thessalonians. The middle chapters are Romans 13 and 14, The middle verse is Acts 17, 17th verso. The least verse is John 9, verse 35th. The 21st verse, chapter 1, of Ezra, ha s all tbe letters of the alphabet. The 19th chapter of the 2d Kings, and chapter 37 of Isaiah, are both alike. Some Chestnut Tree.—C. Waltz, a short time since, cat down a chestnut tree on the farm of C. S. Shuman, in Manor township, which takes down anything of the kind we have yet heard of. It was a little over seven feet across the stump, and made ten cords of wood, ninety very large posts and three wagon loads of chips. It is said that the tree was about one hundred and fifty years old. Mr. Shuman has two similar trees, one of them he thinks is a little larger than the one above described.—CbZumfaa Spy, Notwithstanding the occasional cool blasts, the bads are beginning to swell, and the trees will in a short time be covered with leaves; tbe genial weather of Spring cannot now be much longer deferred. College Movements.—ln common with our citizens generally we have always taken ajostprlde In tbe fact that we have, an in stitution,- a college, located in our city, that professes to give tbe highest gradei of intel lectual training; and culture. Recently it hasrshown new signs of vigor and vitality. It to engaged at present in a movement to enlarge its operations and to gain a more commanding position among similar insti tutions in, the country. This to right, and every true Lancasterian will rejoice in see ing it eject' new buildings, enlarge its fac ulty, and gather around it as general and as widespread interest as possible. Among other signs of progress, we observe with pleasure tbe vigorous steps which are taken to build up in connection with the college, an Academy or Gy moatlum of a high order. Hitherto there has always been a Prepara tory Department, designed principally to prepare young men for tbo college; now it is Intended, without losing sight of this object, to enlarge its character and to give young persons all tbefadlities in intellectual training, which they need, whether they inteud to prepare for college or business. Hitherto the school has been under the care of Prof. F A. Gast. Hereafter it will have two Principals, Mr. GaSt and Mr. U. S. Gerhard. The latter gentleman, who has just been added to tbe teaching force of tbe institution, graduated at this place several years ago, and received the highest honors of bis oiass. He is a ripe scholar, a good discipiinariun, aod a Chrisliau gentleman. Profs. fcJtahr and Wolff of the college will assist, as they have done hitherto, in the management of the school. Iq order to make it more accessible to tbe youth of our community, it has been removed from tbe college building to a central part of the city, in King street, as will be seen in the udver tisement in our paper. At no distant day it is expected that suitable buildings will be erected for its accommodation in some con venient part of the city limits. We direct the attention of our citizuDS to this new enterprize, especially as it aims to be im mediately useful to our owu community. Literary institutions growing up in our midst deserve a liberal prtrouage. We un derstand that a number of our weslthy citizens are uniting wtth the frieuds of tbo college abroad in making liberal subscrip tions for the more complete endowment of tbe college. Bo it should be. Interesting Ceremony.— A moat inter esting ceremony took place at the SL Joseph’s Catholic Church this city on Sun day afternoou. The religious exercises were opened by the singing ot the beuutilul hymn entitled ** Pern Creator'' in excellent style by tbe fine choir of singers belonging to the church. After the singing of the above hymn tho rite of confirmation was admin istered to over 200 persons by tbe Rt. Rev. Bishop Shanahan, of Harrisburg. The Very Revereud Father Keenuu. of St. Mary’s Church was present and assisted at tbe ceremony! Notwithstanding Father Keenan’s many years he yet retains a great deal of vigor aud vitality and by his earnest and unremitting zeal in the cause of the Church still renders her efficient service. Fathers Peeper, of Columbia, and Neu feld, of tit. Joseph’s Church, also were present and assisted in thu exercises. After the rite of confirmation had beeu conferred Bishop Shanahan preached a very eloquent and impressive sermon suitable to the occasion, which was lis tened to with marked attention by ihe large number of persons present. Tbe benedic tion was given after the conclusion of the sermon by the Bishop, assisted by all the Clergy present. Thu children who were confirmed on Sunday have beeu for some time under tho instruction of the Sisters ol Charity connected with the Church, and on this occasion they proceeded up the aislo of the Church in procession, presenting a very attractive and beautiful appearance. Mr. 11. A. Docker presided at iho organ with his usual skill and ability. An Important Bill.—Mr. Fisher re cently presented in theStaloSuuateut Jlur risburg, the following bill entitled “An uui Lo increase thu number of terms of tlie sev eral Courts iu the Second (Lancaster county, judicial district, aud to expedite business therein.” Sec. 1.

The bills ou the Senate file now number 1575, and in the House 1867, This shows the amount ol work laid before both branch es, most of it totally unnecessary. A large number of divorce bills have al ready passed ; not one thus far having been refused. The day for final adjournment not hav ing been fixed yet, the session may last two wee cs longer. The New Nickel Coins.—Tho denom inations of the new coins are to be one three and live cents, and they are to be composed of one fourth nickel and three fourths copper.

The three and five cent pieces are to be about the size of the one and two cent coppers now in use, and will weigh respectively three and five grains. The new coin is to be legal tender for a dollar, except for du ties on imports, and all the existing nickel and copper coins will be withdrawn. TnE New Bounty Act.—The bounty bill which passed Congress provides that every soldier who was discharged by reas on of “ expiration of term of service” shall be held to have filled his full term of en listment, and be entitled to a bounty ac cordingly. Also that a widow, minor chil dren or parents in the order named, of any soldier who shall havo died after being honorably discharged, shall be entitled to receive the additional bounty to which such soldier would be entitled if living.

Packard’s Monthly.—Tho April num ber of this Magazine has been received, and every article read with interest—a compli ment not often paid periodicals by news paper men, whose lime is generally too fully engrossed by their occupation to per mit the careful reading of ail the matter contained in any one of the different Maga zines sent them. Among the writers for Packard’s Monthly are Lewis Gaylord Clark, Horace Greeley, Junius Henry Browne, and Oliver Dyer. Packard's Monthly certainly is what it claims to be— “ the young men’s magazine;” all young men should subscribe for it, they cannot obtain, for one dollar a year, so much in structive and entertaining reading matter in any other way. Address S. S. Packard, PabLisher, 947 Broadway, New York. Reading & Columbia R.

It suggests one of tbe most simple remedies for hydrophobia, being at the same lime preventative and cnratlve. The paper i amed says: “ Dr. Buisson being called to assist a sub ject of hydrophobia, who approached the final crisis of the disease, bled her, and wiped his hand on a handkerchief wet with the saliva of the dying woman. On the first Auger ofthe left band he had a Bmall contusion where the skin was broken. He was immediately cognizant of his thought lessness, but, trusting to the process which ho had recently discovered, he contented himself with washing himself with water. • Believing,’ says Dr. Buisson, ‘that tbe dis ease did not make its appearance until tbe fortieth day, and having rauuy patients to visit, I put off taking my remedy from day to day, that is tho steam baths. On the ninth day, as I was in my chamber, I lelt at once, a pain in my throat, and a still greater one in my eyes. My body felt so light that I thought if I were to jump, T would be able to throw myself to a prodigious height, or that by holding on to a window frame, I could sustain myselfin tbe air. My hair wits so sensitive that it seemed to mo that I could count every one oftbem without seeipg them my mouth watered constantly; tbe'impres sion caused by contact with tbo air made mo feel horribly, and I avoided all brilliant bodies. I had u constant desire to run and bite, not men, but animals; and all that which surrounded me. It hurt me to drink, and I have noticed that the sight of water tired me more thau tbe paiu iu my throat. I believe that a patient of hydrophobia cun always drink by closing tlie eyes. Tho fits came every five minutes, aud I felt then the* pain start from thu first finger and run along thu nerves to tlie shoulder. Thinking that my means were only a preventive und not a curative one, I took a steam bath, not with tbe intention of healing myself, but lo suffocate myself. When the bath reached the beat of 47 deg. centigrade, all the symp toms disappeared as if by magic. After ward, I never felt anything more. I have atteuded more than eighty persons bitten by mad dogs. All havo been saved by this method. When a person has been bitten by a mad dog lie must be made to take seven steam baths —one each day; Russian, for instance, of 57 deg. to 63 deg. This is a preservative remedy. When the disease makes its appearance, only ono steam bath is necessary, raising the tem perature hastily to 57 deg. centigrade, and afterwards slowly to 93 deg. The patieut should be well confined to bis room until completely cured.’” A Home Item. —The Philadelphia Bulle tin lias the following item, which as it possesses a local interest, we transfer to our columns: Herman Coj>c, Esq. —Wo were betrayed into an error by some of tlie morning pa p>*rs, in stating that tlie venerable Herman (,’opu was a brother of Thomas P. Cope. Caleb Cope, the older, wus Burgess of Lancaster, Pa., under tho Britisii Govern ment, immediately prior to the Revolution. Heliad five sons: John, William, Thomas P., Israel and Jasper, ami, ulso, two daugh ters. Mr. Herman Cope, just deceased, was a son of John Cope, tho oldest of the broth ers, aud, consequently, a nophow of Thomas P. Cope. Our respected fellow.townsman, Caleb Cope, Esq., is a son of the second brother, William. There is an interesting historical reminis cence connected with the Cope family, in Lancaster, which is worthy ot note. Major Andre was captured by General Montgom ery, in Upper Canada, while on his way to Quebec, November 3, 1775, aud taken, with other officers, to Laucaster, where he be came an inmate of Caleb Cope’s house. There, the eldest brother, John, tbeu 13 years of age, received lessons in drawing from Major Andre, and the three brothers, John, William and Thomas had, in after life, vivid recollectious of their games of marbles aud other juvenile sports with tbo lively young English officer, who was des tined to figure so terribly iu tho after his tory of this country. Died. —Dr. J. 11. Kurtz died on tho 3rd inst. at Philadelphia. The decoused was in the 02d year of his age. Dr. Kurtz was a uativo of Lancaster county, where he prac ticed medicine for many years. He was elected to aud filled tbe office of ProLhono tary of the County for one term. He served as assistant surgeon in the U.S. army, dur ing puit of the late war. At the timu ofhis death hu was engaged in compounding tho celebrated “National Bitters.” House Broken Into. —Tbe dwelling house of Benj. M. Barr, near Wiimer’s bridge, in Ea9t Lampeter twp., was forcibly entered on last Sunday forenoon, by some persona who passed through the cellar and kitchen without taking anything. The family were at church in this city, at the time their bouse was so unceremoniously visited. A bar which was locked across the cellar door was pried off, and the door of the kitchen was found standing open when the family returned home. — Express, Quercitron Bark.— This article of commerce is the bark ofthecommon black oak grnuud ready for shipment. It is ex tensively used for dying calicoes nt the print works. The very large hogsheads sometimes seen loaded on freight cars on our railroads are filled with this bark. A large black oak tree will yield about §7 worth of bark —its present price at the mills being $lO per cord. Farmers having black oak timber to cut should by ail means cut it when the bark can bo obtained, as the body of the tree can also be cut into cooper stuff—tho bolts of which are now worth $l3 per cord. —Oxford Press. More Horse Stealing.—George S. Lamborn, living in Martic township, had a valuable bay mare and a rockaway stolen from liis premises on Monday night last. One of Ills neighbors, Mr. Christian Kryder, bad a bay mure taken the same night. Both ihe animals and tho carriuge wore evidently taken by the same party, they had visited the premises of Mr. Barclay Simpson, whose farm lies between that of Lamborn and Kryder, earlier in the night, but were frightened away by the appear ance of Mr. Simpson and his hands, who heard them conversing in a low tone near the house. The party were seen a short distance from the place where tho horses were taken atjout 2 o’clock at night, two men were in the rockaway and one on horseback. They were tracked a short dis tance in the morning, but in consequence of there being a good deal of traveling on the road, all traces of them soon disappear ed. The thieves were going in a southerly direction aud are supposed to have como from the eastern shore of Maryland. Accidents.—The Manheim Sentinel says that Mr. Michael Hummer, Sr., of Peun township, on his return home from that place on Saturday evening last, while iu the act of getting off the wagon, fell and dislocated his lelt shoulder. On Tuesday last, a lad aged about 14 years, son of Mr. Henry Neff, of Penn township, was tramped on by a horse, and severely hurt internally. Large Egg.-Mr. C. S. Shaman, of Manor township, left at the office of the Columbia Spy a Jew days since, a ben egg which measured six inches and seven-eighths in circumference. At Paris.—We notice among the list of names o£ Americana registered at the Bank ing of Drexel, Harjes A Co., Paris, France, that of Mr. E. S. Norris, formerly of this city. ' Sudden Death.—Mr. Peter Reideu baugh, of Earl township, this country, came to this city on Thursday last, apparently in good health. In the afternoon he took sick and was a corpse on Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock. He was an old citizen and much respected by his friends and acquaintances. Hung Himself.—The Manheim Sentinel states that Samuel Stover, an eccentric old man, residing near Old Lino, Rupho town »hip, hung himself in the attic of hla dwell ing, on the 6th inst. Ho was about 50 years of age. Haines a Bbo’s. Pianos.—A monument o { Plano Boxes, marked Haines A 8r0.,1n fronlof Woodward’s Muslc.Kooms lu East King street, attracted our attention the other day os we were walking by, and we{dropped In to take> look at the celebrated Instruments. Wofonnd tho Warerooms crowded with elegant Pianos and MelodeoDS nnd we spent a very pleasant halt-hour in listening to the sweet and power ful strains of mua'c drawn from tho Instru ments. We expressed our surprise to Mr. W. that he found it profitable to keep on hand so large a stock, but he s».sured us thp.l the repu- I at lon of the Haines A Bro. Plano was so great that they were very rapidly sold,and that he has .found It necessary to secure still larger rooms lor their exhibition. ltdAW The Mammoth Cave.
