IVnr.
Adlutant General Lorenzo Thomas has
finished hla report, detailing the result of
his visit to and inspection of all the cem
eteries, from Maine to California, that con
tain the remains of Union soldiers "who fell
during tlie late war. Below is given as full
an abstract of this report aa is deemed ad
visable. Tho entire report covers over 400
pages, and contains.much interesting m»
formation. , .
By an net of Congress passed in 1868,
General Thomas was ordered to this duty
and concluded his labors but a few weeks
since. Duriog that time he has vjsiteu
overy State and Territory in this country,
and gone over the greater portion of 'hem
—wherever there was a public or privato
cemetery in which a L’nlonsoldier was bur
ied Helliaafull Hbih [of the number burled
in ench and every place, known and un
known, white or black, officers, soldiers,,
or citizen employees of the government. —
He gives in detail the names, company,
regiment, division, corps, and general com
mand in which the deceased was enrolled
ul tho Hind of his death, and if not, as much
data as he could obtuin in reference thereto.
Tin* situation and condition of all tho thirty
five national cemeteriesaro given.andsug
gostions are made in respect to them. It Is
shown by these statistics that there are
comparatively low soldiers buried in New
England; not an exceedingly large num
ber in tho Middle or Western States, while
the Border Slates and tho.so that wore in
tho rebellion almost entirely hold the ashes
of those who died in defence of tho l nion.
iSVa - Knqlnn-i. —There are but 18 officers
and 787 white soldiers known, 1-1 unknown,
am! 18 colored soldiers, unknown, buried
in the whole of New England.
2\ T ar For/.-—.Soldiers are buried in twenty
three diffi-rent places in Now York, and the
total numberis as follows : Whites, known,

Ma, i/lnii'l. — I n this State is tho Antietam
Cemei’er.v, it is the scene of the great bat
tle of Antietam, J'ought near Strusburg,
Washington county, Maryland. General
Thomas gives much attention to this ceme
tery in Ins report, lie says it is in quite an
incomplete state nnd very much out of
order. The Conlederate dead have not been
removed to a separate place in tho ceme
tery, as was contemplated, and General T,
says it cannot by donu without much ex
pense and the removal of a portion of tho
cemetery wall. The Slate of Maryland
has contributed largely to tho care of tho
e.emeleiy. Many of the other States have
also contributed, while yet a number re
main delinquent. iicKays the graves aro
sinking, the headboards are missing, and
tho dilapidation is gen nil. Ho estimates
that it will require to repair ami
properly finish this cemetery as at first
contemplated —that is, to sod the graves,
gravel the walks, Ac. There aro sol
diers iruiii eighteen Stales buried there
besides rt gulurs and a number whoso

battle-fields numbered 1,-177. Tho other
bodies were removed lront the battle-fields
of Monocacy Junction, .South Mountain,
Harper’s Ferry and other places in that

to Svil.iuiu, while the lodge at the cemetery
cost 57,7im —making a total ol SJD,BO(J. At

KECAPITUJ.ATION
Tho total number'of white cfiicers and
soldiers, known and unknown, buried, as
detailed above, is nearly 600,000. The nurn
her of colored soldiers nearly 60,000, two-
Lhirds of whom are not known by name.
Gen. Thomas states that tho expense at
tending tho burial or reinterment of their
bodies, and the laying oat and Improving
tho national cemetery has reached $-1,000,-
000, and ho estimates that it will cost $2’000,-
000 more to complete tho work, and keep
the national cemeteries (of which there are
thirty-live in number) in good order.
At all these national cemeteries there is a
keeper and assistants, and the expense at
tending the care of each cemetery will range
from $1,600 to $2,000 per annum for salaries
alone, while the other expenses will reach
$60,000 per annum. He makes statements
to Congress, and gives data why various
appropriations at once made.
If the cemetery at Mdnnd City, Illinois,
is not repaired, and the levee strengthened,
there is danger of a general washing out of
the bodies baried there.
The iron or stone enclosures for the na
tional cemeteries (as ordered by Congress)
cannot be erected on acconnt of the failnre
of an appropriation for the same.
The report will be delivered to Congress
by Gen. Thomas on the drat day of the com
ing session.
Hydroynoblo-AterrlW© Death.
Oar city on Thursday was the scene of a
most heart-rending occnmmce-a d<eath by
hvdroDhobia. The victim of the fearful
malady was a young man by the name of
John Alexander, son of J. W. Alexander.
The young man had been bitten by a rabid
dog as long ago as the night of the 20th of
last August. He did not know at the time
that the dog was mad. He songhfc profes
sional advice, but was assured by the phy
sician that he was in no danger. The
scratches and wounds healed quickly, and
be thought no more about the matter until
last Tuesday night, wheo, after being initi
ated a member of the Ashland lodge o
Good Templars, he experienced, on taking
a drink of water, a most singular and un
pleasant feeling in his throat, but he soon
got over it. Hrwas troubled with nothing
more unpleasant until Wednesday after
noon a) about 4 o’clock, when, on again at -
tempting to take a glass of water, be found
he could not drink. He then Immediately
suspected the cause his sickness, fninroa
termined to fully tost 1 1. Ho tried to force
water into his mouth with a spoon, but his
arm gave a spasmodic jerk, sending the
Hooon hying through the air, and he fell
back unnerved and wild and sick, both
Irom the effects of the malady and tho hor
rible certainty of his rapidly, approaching
fate.
He was confined tohis bed all Wednesday
night. On Thursday morning he (jot rap
idly worse, and continued to sutler most
terribly till the time of his death. The
agony ho endured no w’ords can describe;
and the physicians attending him said his
were tho most fearful sufferings they ever
hurl witnessed. Ho howled and snarled
and barked like u dog. He scratched and
clawed at the b*d clothing until it was a -
most torn to shreds. Spusras and convul
sions succeeded each other, racking hi? tor
tured body nnd causing him to fouui at the
mouth like a wild and rabid animal, and,
in his frenzy, the veins would swell as if
they would burst, and he would bark and
cough as though his lungs would be forced
up, aud blood would gusb in streams from
bis mouth and nostrils. The bed, on wbicli
ho was held down by strong men, was
saturated through anti through with the
crimson stream.
k.l lIIJ.IUU Ok. w.. ....
tatrange to Hay, ho was conscious nearly
the entire time, and devoted and sell’-sacri
ficing, ho firmly insisted that none of his
agonized nnd weeping relations should be
allowed to come near him, as he was afraid
he might injure them. His father, who had
been absent, arrived a little while before
his death, but on being told that he had
come, lie exclaimed, “ D m’t lot him see
me.”
At übout two o’clock his sufferings be
came even more intensified, and he scream
ed and shrieked, “ Water ! water! force it
down me ! Oh death, hurry, hurry !’’ His
attendant physicians, who had dono all in
their power to alleviate his sufferings,
again administered chloroform most copi
ously, and its southing and pain-deadening
effects came with thrice-blessed power,
breaking the force of the last fearful mo
ments of suffering, and tho unfortunate vic
tim of that most horrible of ull maladies,
hydrophobia, escaped from his tortures at
quarter past 2 o’clock Thursday afternoon.
Mr. Alexander was only nineteen years
old, had lately joined tho Baptist Church,
and was knowu as a most excellent and in
dustrious young man. He frequently
pointed his finger henvonwurd just beloro
ho died, nnd declared his desire to be i.t
rest.— Lexington (Ay.,) Observer and Re

A Miserly ItctTuse—Half A Million Dot-
liirs Foil ml In a Trims*,
The following particulars of the death of
tho singular Jersey City miser, will bo read
with interest. We tiud tho account iu the
New York Times :
On Wednesday evening last, Lyman Al
tyn, an aged boarder at Taylor’s Hotel, in
Jersey City, was found dead sitting in his
chair iu his room. His death was duly re
ported on the following morning, but there
were circumstances developed yesterday,
which surround his life aud death with pe
culiar interest. His brother, Thomas Al
lyn, of Groton, Conn., in company with u
sister, the only relatives of the deceased,
arrived yesterday, and, with the permission
of Coroner Burns, took charge of the corpse.
They examined also tho two dilapidated
trunks that stood in the corner of their
brother's bedroom, and in one of them
were found stocks and bonds, deeds and
securities of various descriptions, repre
senting a fortune of $BOO,OOO.
His life during the last five years had
been most remarkable. Ho was a man of
over seventy, and so infirm that ho con
sumed half an hour or more in coming
ilmvii from his room to the dining room.—
Yet ho lived upon the highest lloor to save ,
money, aud was never known when upon i
the street to use a horse car, Buying that!
they hud the effect of making people lazy, j
and ho would not patronize them. He came
from his room to his meals but once a day,
eating the very smallest quantity of the
cheapest food. He sought no society, aud I
would permit no person to enter his room :
but the chambermaid, aud she but once a I
week. While she arranged his room he
invariably watched her closely. ,
To un observer tho room contained very j
little that was worth wutching. Two old :
trunks, a scanty wardrobe, made up of,
cheap ready-made coats, two hats, one I
white, the other black, and both thirty j
years, old, patched shoe 3 and boots, a copy
of Webster’s Dictionary, a Bible, and a
medical book, were all that the room con- 1
taint'd, and its situation and interior deso- (
lateness made it a dreary abode. The old !
man had lived hero alone for nearly six !
years, declining all the while to see any J
vi.Mtors, for, he said, they came only be- j
cause they thought lie had money; that I
they were mistaken, for he was very poor. !
and had great difficulty lu paying his board
bills.
His brother ami sister, who took cliargo
of his effects, gave our reporter a brief
sketch of his life. He was born in Groton,
Conn., in 171>7, ami was sent at an early age
by his father to work in a grocery store in
New London Finding that his employer
was dishonest, and that he used false
weights and measures, tho boy ran away
and returned to his home. Lie soon pro
cured a situation in another store, remain
ing there fora number of years, until, in
1527, he came to New York uni engaged in
business as u commission merchant. Be
coming interested iu stock speculations,
under the advisement and in partnership
with Jacob Little, Mr, AUyu amassed a
large fortune, which subsequent specula
tions did much to roduce.
He was a bachelor, and had for thirty or
forty years been in sorno degree averse to
all soeietj', but his eccenti icilies wero not
so marked as they wero during tho six or
sovon years preceding his death. During
hiastay at .Taylor’s Hotel he was occupied
entirely in looking alter the value of and
the interest upon his bonds and stocks,
keeping his business, however, in so great
secrecy that not even the proprietor of the
hotel had tho faintest imimation that his
guest was a wealthy- capitalist. His bills
were paid with tho greatest promptitude,
but beyond this fact no person in the hotel
had grounds for supposing that the old
man had a dollar. His occupation, mean
while, was entirely unknown, and many
speculations wero indulged in by his fel
low-boarders touching the work which
kept tho recluse so much confined to his
garret.
Wednesday afternoon the bill collector
took Mr. Allyn’s bill to his room, knocked,
received no answer, and could gain no ad
tnittance. He threw tho bill into the room
over the door, and went away. The day
woro away'and it w.:s remarked that the
old gentleman was not so prompt us
tormerly in responding to the presentation
of his bill. Mr. Fisk, the proprietor, went
to his room, and receiving no answer to
his calls, the door was forced open, and the
aged occupant was found lifeless in his
chair.
Tho examination of the trunk and
contents disclosed the fact that the old
man owned stock in many of the best
paying concerns in tho country. He owned
stock in ull the principal railroads in New
Jersey, the Erie railway, Atlantic and
Groat Western, the Morris Canal and
Banking Company, and the Now York
Central. Deeds for a largo amount of real
estate on UoDg Island and in the city of
Brooklyn, and a pile of State and county
bonds, were found. With these there was
a will, dated fifteen yeursago, bequoatking
all bis property to bis brother and sister.
c Southern Pacific Bond.
Tho construction of a Southern line of
Ruilroud from tho Allunlic to the Pacific is
much nearer its consummation than is
generally supposed. We are assured that
six distinct companies, created by separate
State charters, are now at work, or are about
to set to work, on such lino from Norfolk,
Virginir, to Sau Diego, California, with
intent to make a short job of tho construc
tion. They claim that their route is nine
hundred miles shorter than that from New
\ ork San to Francisco by tho Central route;
that its summits are far lower and its grades
easier than those of the Central, and that
oven transient obstruction by snow is
scarcely possibleon the Southern or Arizona
route. We hope their enterprise may be
generously aided by grants of lands, and
that they will not ask Congress for any sub
sidy. Tho United States havu neither
rnouoy nor credit that they can spare from
the one pressing object of reducing the
principal and. interests of their great Na
tional Debt.
The “Norfolk and Great Western Rail
road” is the most eastern link iu this chain
and will run through the southern coun
ties of Virginia in a nearly straight line to
Bristol, Tenn.—l3o miles. Tho most Wes
tern link (from Sau Diego to the Colorado)
is already begun, or soon will b,\ Wo shall
have more to say of this ontorpiso hero
after.—AT. Y. Tribune.

thioves made their escape. ' A passenger
from Port Jervis named James, was ra

similar character hanging over him, but
nothing of a doubtful character was found
on his person.

A BATTTjE SfEXHTUCEY,
Twenty Engaged on Each SWe—Tbree
Milled, One Mortally Wounded—Des
perate Fighting on the paWjeSqnare
at Somerset—Hecraltltiff and Arming
for a Henewal ofHos till ties.
On Saturday evening last, about 3 o’ clock,
a terrible fight commenced'on the public
square in the tpwn of Somerset, Pulaski
county, and lasfce'd nntil the parties had ex
hausted their ammunition. Three men—
Todd, Daulton, and Wm. Pleasonts—were
killed, and one man, James Pleasonts, des
perately wounded. About twenty men
were engaged on each side. The difficulty
originated oyer the whipping of a man by
the name of Cooper by a party of Regula
tors. This man Cooper, who lives some
where on Fishing Creek, below Somerset,
is said to be a bad character, and was a
short time ago taken from his house by a
party of men at night and severely whip-
P Afterwards he armed himself, and made
war against a number of bis neighbors,
whom he accused of whipping him. O
man was shot by him. and °!_ s(h
taken unawares and knocked down with
bis iron ramrod and severely beaten. He
al«o swore out a warrant against a number
of persons, aud bad them arrested. Satur
day last was the day fixed for their
On the morning of that day Cooper and bis
friends came into the town of Somerset iu a
wagon, concealing their guns under some
hay in the bed of the wagon. The trial of
the parties who were arrested was postponed
nntil the succeeding Wednesday. The
quarrel commenced between the parties',and
continued to grow warmer and more aggra
vating until 3 o’clock in the afternoon, when
it culminated in a regular pitched battle. It
seems that, iu the progress of the quarrel,
one of the parties challenged another to
shout for Jeff Davis, which was dono. The
fight then commenced in desperate eainest,
being brought on by the anti Lynch party
making the first offensive demonstrations.
The anti-Lynchers, under the leadership of
a man named Logan, retreated out the Mt.
"Vernon road about two hundred yards to
where they had sent their wagon in charge
of one of their comrades, procured their
guns, returned to tbe public square, and
made a furious attack upon their oppon
ents. Both parties stood their ground, it is
said, without flinching until the fight abat
ed by mutual consent, both parlies being
without ammunition.
Town Marshal Sbeppord, with a posse of
three men, endeavored to prevent the fight,
but the parties were too numerous, and he
finally had to take himself and posso tb a
safe distance, and allow tho desperate riot
and difficulty to proceed. Over one hun
dred and fifty shots were fired, and the
shouts and yells of the combatants are said
to have been almost deafening. The com- j
plexion of the whole affair is very unfor
tunate, uncivilized, and barbarous.
Of the family of Pleasonts who were en
gaged in it,lone cousin was killed on one
side, and another was mortally wounded on
the other, having his skull broken from a
blow, and some very bad cuts on his neck
and chest. Tho Daltons also divided in the
light and nlso the Burtons.
On Wednesday lastone of the hostile par
-1 ties, which hud recruited its forces until
they numbered forty men, approached to
within two miles of Somerset, but were
warned by the citizens of tbe town not to
come in under a penalty of being fired upon.
Tho other party was also, on the same
morning, in tbe neighborhood of the town
and received a like messago from the citi
zens, aud both parties retired. So much
apprehension exists in the town of Somerset
that the- whole population is' in arms to pre-
vent the recurrence of another such diffi
culty as the one which took place on Satur
day last, and Pulaski county is enjoying a
reign of anarchy and terror.— Stanford Dis

Tlie Eeliceppe Murder rase.—Teller to
Governor Geary.
Tbe following letter has been tseut from
New York by eminent chemists to Gover
nor Geaiy :
"Ifcw York, Nov. 30, IS69.—His Excel
lency Governor J. W. Geary, Harrisburg:
The undersigned, chemists by profession,
have read in the papers that your Excel
lency has issued your warrant for tho exo
cution of Dr. Sebceppe, for the alleged
crime of murder by poison.
,k Wo have examined with care the ebern
! ical testimony upon which such conviction
! was had. A criminal act is alleged to have
beeu proved by the evidence of a chemist,
who testified to having discovered in tbe
deceased indications of prussic acid. This
scientific witness stated wnth precision tbe
experiments upon which his opinion was
bused. These experiments were conducted
in such a way that they would have given
evidence of tho presence of prussic acid in
any ordinary healthy stomach. The first
step in the examination, that of treating
the stomach with sulphuric acid, precluded
the possibility of determining whether the
fuiut truces of prussic acid claimed to have
been discovered existed in the stomach as
such, or resulted from the action of the sul
phuric acid ou the nervous fluids which j
must have lined the interior of that orgau. |

Another Family Mns.snoro<l—A Husband
< ikn the Ttirouts of His Wile nud i breo
Children,
A horribio trugedy was perpetrated
j twelve miles from iho city, on the Clarks
ville pike, before daylight, Sunday morn
ing. It was the murder of a wife and three
1 little children by a fiend in human shape,
, Jo. Barton, the husband and father. Mrs.
j Barton and her children had retired to
' rest in the sruno bed, Saturday night, Bar
ton being absent. Shortly after midnight,
it is believed, Barton returned and cuttbeir
throats. The murder was not discovered
until 10 o’clock Sunday morning, when a
farmer well acquainted with the family,
passing on his way to church, observed the
house Jastened, no mnoke issuing from the
chimney, the windows cfosed, and no sign
of life. ~ lie went to the door and knocked.
Again and again did lie beat upon the door,
but no answer came. A mysterious still
ness prevailed. He pried open the door
and stood aghast at the dreadful spectacle
which met his gaze. Thero lay the mother
and the three little children in a grout dark
pool of blood, which had run down from
their lacerated throats towards the middle
of the bed. The mothor looked as though
sho bad awakened from some terrible
dream, and, having resisted as long as sho
was able, bad sank down with her face
turned toward hei children, as if to avert
the fate which avaited them. The children
had evidently each been pulled down one
by one in the bed, and butchered beside
their mother. The witnessto thisshockiug
sight beheld it only for a moment, when
turning sick from its horrid contemplation, ;
he left, and having secured the assistance 1
of some neighbors, returned and placed the j
remains in decent order. Barton is a man J
of itinerant habits. He is u saddler by j
trade, and formerly resided at Clarksville, j
where he created a number of debts which J
he never expected to cancel, and having no !
lnnger.any credit in that vicinity had rented I
the present farm and moved thereto three j
months ago. He often drank to excess,
but was never suspected of having any dis
position to murder. He is supposed to
have departed for parts unknown soon
after he committed the unnuturai crime.—

Marriage ou u Hallway Train.
Yesterday a victim of misplaced couli
dence, who knew not whether she was
married or single, told h<»r story to the po
lice. An interesting young lady, eighteen
or twenty years of age, has been carry
ing on a millinery establishment at Kolia.
Some six months ago the pleasant milliner
and Churles Johnson became acquainted,
and gradually the acquaintance merged
into friendship, and thou ripened into love.
Ho proposed a trip to St. Louis to have the
ceremony performed, and she accquiesced,
and they~ left Kolia on Thursday la«t. On
the trip it appeals he prevailed to have the
ceremony performed, and a stranger to her,
while on the cars, went through the mar
riage ceremony in rather a bungling man
nor. Who the extempore parson or magis
Irate was, or where be came from, the
confiding milliner did not know. She
thought it, however, all right, and as it was ;
not only a little pecuniary saving, but a con
venience to her husband, so-called, she was
satisfied. Arriving here, they took rooms
at the Clarendon, aDd registering of course
as man and wife, were assigned a comforta
ble room. Yesterday morning, the groom,
so called, arose early, telling tbe bride, so
cuiied, to rest a while longer, as he would
take a short walk and return in a few min
utes. Minutes merged into hours, and
Charley did not return. It finully occur
red to her that her pocket book, containing
one hundred dollars in greenbacks, the
accumulation of much labor with the
needle, aud her fine gold watch were in the
possession of her vanished lover. The
poor girl then began to realize that she had
been imposed upon, aud that her money
and honor were at the mercy of a stranger.
The police could not help her.— St. Louis

Our Gettysburg friends seem to have been
getting ‘peeled” slightly by the speculation
in tbe Gettysburg Katalysine Water. A
N. York genllemaD, who was one of the les
sees of the Spring has gone into bankruptcy
in New York, and in the list of his debts
are given ‘T. O. U’s” to his Gettysburg
frienas to the amount of $57,994.24. The
most of this is for Ibe unpaid purchase
money of real estate which enterprising
gentlemen in that historic place had shoved
off on these New Yorkers at fabulous
prices. No wonder that admiration ,for
the gallantry of our dead soldiery was in
voked to help the sale of Iho Katalysine

19 says: - , - . .
“Dr. Mary Walker is again a martyr to
her idea of reform in dress. This afternoon
she was walking on Main street, when her
peculiar garb struck policeman Kelso as not
being exactly the one that a lady should be
dressed In. He swooped upon the feminine
dispenser of pills and powders, and march
ed in triumph with his prisoner to the
Recorder's office. A crowd of idlers followed
and once again tbe bold doctor found her
self'the observed of all observers.’ Bot
didn’t her captor 'catch it?’ Yess indeed,
she sailed into Kelso, and her words of
burning scorn and indignation almost set
his teeth ou edge. She peppered away at tbe
public functionaryuntil the office of Record
er Sutton was reached.and then blazed away
at the city marshal, but he soon stopped
the wordy torrent of invective the little lady
was heaping upon him. The recorder
; dismissed the case, and Mrs, Walker strode
forth again, fre§ aa the winds.
Sberifl’s Sales,
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania baa
decided, Judge Sharswood delivering the
opinion, that a mortgagee, or a purchaser
at Sheriff’s sale, is ‘not bound to look be
yond tbe judgment docket to ascertain
whether the entries thereon are properly
made by authority, and that where there is
a defective entry of a Judgment, or an un
authorizsd entry of satisfaction, the Pro
thonotary is liable for damages to any party
injured. Hence, where tbe Prothonotary
without the authority of tbe Court entered
on his docket against a judgment, “ satis
fied on fi fa.," it was held that the entry
was perfectly regular and conclusive as to
third persons to whom the judgment itself
regularly docketed was constructive notice,
and that it was uot necessary to search
farther and ascertain whether there was
any record of an order of the Court direct
ing such satisfaction.
The aggregate value of the imports into
tbe customs districts of the United States,

Where there are so many Fur Stores ns there
Is In tho city of Philadelphia It Is difficult /or
tho uninitiated to determine where to buy.—
These who are verged In tho different quail Uoh
of Furs however, know where to go, aud those
readers of tills paper, who are not acquainted
with the various grades of Fujs, wo would ad
vise them to go to an establishment of the brst
reputation, where they cau purchase with tho
greatest confidence, sod he satisfied that they
are honestly dealt with. We know of no bet
ter or more reliable Ho e than that of Messrs.
JOSEPH ROSENBAUM & CO., No. 510 Auch
Street Philadelphia, being their new loca
tion, whore we i-re confident from their long
experience In the Fur business, that persons
can get good Furs and the worth of their
money.
Their New Store Is the centre’of attraction
on account of the good I'ght In which they
show ofTall their goods.
AS" On Saturday they do no businex3.~l&
The most fashiouable Furs this season will
be the M Ink sable, and this Is tho most ser
vlcable Fur nnd they have them In various
styles and qualities, and for prices to suit ail;
aud since a lady does not wish to get h new
set of Furs every season, R Is roiy essential
to know where to go and purchuse good
Furs.
To see tho silky fineness nnd darkness and
elegauce of finish of all their Furs will well
repay a visit to this establishment, and ail
their Furs are warranter! in u* <vu #•»/>

A Mink Sable set cost 815 to 8&5, and somo
very rare dark sets bring a little higher: hut
from 830 to 850 will buy an excellent dark set,
ana tuoso so s lasts a Jady from eight to fif
teen years.
Then there Is tho Hudson Bay Sable, the
Slberean Squirrel, Royal Ermine, German

other high and low priced Furs in endless va
