PlaTairinati Trial.
New Y.oux April 12.—Tho proceedings
in theliterailand easoto , day were a fur
ther dovelopmont of the theory of insanity,
upon which the defense would seem to re
ly for an acquittal. A strong point in that
direction was the evidence of Dr. John A.
Ward, physician, the substalabe of which
is as follows:
"The prisoner, on the .21th of :November
last, came to niy office and remained their
about fifteen minutes; I walked down
Fifth avenue with him to Tenth street; he
canto in a great state of agitation, his oyes
flushing and glaring like balls of fire; I
asked him where he had been; he said I
ha:ye been roaming, I have been to the fer
rylooking for my boy ; he asked for some
thing to allay his agitation ; I had never
seen him in that condition before."
Previous to this a Mr. Green, a Boston
lawyer, testified that lie was engaged in a
habeas corpus proceeding, in 1807, brought
by Daniol McFarland, for the recovery of
his children. When he wentinto Court, on
that occasion, lie found tho prisoner at the
bar arguing a motion for tho commitment
111 Mr. and Mrs. Sago for not producing the
children.
• , .
Mr. (lorry (for tho defense) desired to
show by this witness that Richardson called
upon him and told him that ho would bear
all the expenses of the proceeding; that he
recommended the employment of liblyornor
Andrew, on account of his political
inllu
.•nce, and that ho ( Richardson) gave witness
a retaining foe, in his own chock.
Mr. Graham said enough had loon shown
bi convince the jury that but for Richard
son and Richardmon's money, Mrs. McFar
land would have been compelled, by her
natural love for her children, whom she
would have been ,impel led to surrender,
10 go back to her husband,
Furthermore, they would show that ,
There had all along been a delusion in the
prisoner's mind that his wife still loved
and, but for Itiohardson, would Di-
Dint to him. Ile (counsel) conceded to this
woman some particle of feeling and. humim
nature; she was vibrating between her boy°
for this man and her affection for her chil
dren. Richardson decided her, by put
ting his purse at her disposal.
The Recorder reminded Mr. Graham'
that Richardson was not on trial. Tho
of statements made to McFarland,
whether true or false, and their effect on
his mind, were isbnissable, but other lll3t
tern wore nut.
Judge Davis said, as he understood the
habeas imrptas matter, a stipulation was
entered into between the prisoner and his
wire, whereby they agreed to separate, each
retaining the custody of ono child.
Green, on resuming, said at the time he
saw McFarland in Boston, lie thought Rile
was not then insane, he was in a l'air way
of becoming so; his mind:wooled hovering
I etween sanity and insanity.
Dr. Morris Mattison, i t ilniversity Place
John 1). Elwood, lawyer; Frank 13. Ben
nett, clerk ; and Dr. JOllll C. Miner, physi
cin, also testified tii a great variety of cir
munslances 'going to show the prisoner's
unsound state of mind just previous to the
tragedy, after which the out adjourned
till to-morrow.
Among the docamentfiry evidence sub
mitted to.day were two letters, one from
Mrs. Sinclair, and Moodier from Mrs. Cal
houn to Mrs. McFarland. The former is
dated Washington, February 21st I&G9.
The letters road as follows:
" Whatever you do your friends—your
true friends--will aecept. Ih, notany hanger
entertain the morbid idea that you are re
sponsible for the lir,. NOV/Neill break
yours down and perhaps ruin your chil
dren."

and suggests the getting of Percy from his

N etc V. ice, April 13.—The Court-room
was crowded, as usual, this morning, in
cluding more WOlllOllOlllll usual. Several
letters written by Mrs. Calhoun to Mrs.
Richardson-McFarland, were read, similar
iu characti, to ihilsll already read.
The Itet , iirder intimated that counsel
would do well to retrain from reading, let
ters merely relating to Mrs. Calhoun's per
sonal feelings, and not directly hearing on
the ease.
• .
J edge Davis Said ill ( supposed the prose
cution could to the reading nP the
letters which the prisoner hail plundered
front the trunk of his wife, and which the
defeu•e seemed to think supported siiniQ
theory of theirs.
Charles W. Eastwood, first witness to
atiy, w•as a woolon dealer; he know Mr.
McFarland ; did not regard hint in his
.right mind; prisoner often told witness
that he had not had a good night's sleep iu
and \Chihli(' ill , urns dead.
Salliilrd the III(XL witness,
'ironer prisoner sit regarded hint as frantic
nn funnily matters.
George Wellings, waiter in a restaurant.
also test:fell: K . dew I%leFarland; thought
hint frenzied ; used often hear him flutter
ing to himself.
The Reporter asked Mr. Craliain to indi-
vale how long hr intended to take acoinnu
lating nciileuro as to McFarland's peculiar
this.
Mr. I:rah:tin said they intended to prove
ht• oven,' !Achill ligiev it that the defend
ant Was deranged tin the slibjeCt of his do
mestic troubles. In such aca.se as the pres
ent it was impossible Ih them to know
when they had given enough of evidence.
Michael Callahan, °mph ,yeil in the Sallie
restaurant as the previous Witness, gave
corroborative testimony. A statement
made by the brother of the prisoner to Wit
ness, in regard to the strange twinlilet of
McFarland, was, after iirglinaint, ruled out
ILS illeonipetent
Previous to the court adjourning Judge
Davis stated that ,monsiil fir the prisoner
had stated, what ho presumed hail uninten
tionally done injustice to a party Who was
entirely outside this ease. Yesterday, Mr.
(lorry, when reading cue. of Mrs. ('alhoun's
letters, made what was intended to repro.
sent the word "you" read "J. V." The
expression in which letters otwiir reads
"'clime persons are much to flit' in the
hash"--".l. It. and you can guess who
are the other two, Mr. ilralutin said they
were confidential letters, and were intend
ed for initials, a dash being after each let
ter, which would not, ho the ease if they
were susceptible of the reading suggested
by Judge Davis.
Counsel for the prisoner had some doubt
about having the letter read in the Court
in the prtisence of ladies, it being set in
obscenity, but their determination to do
justice to their client caused them to fore
go any consideration of delicacy In rela
tion to the matter.
Mr. Gerry said before taking a Copy of
the letter he had examined the letters with
three inicroseopes, and had no doubt they
were as he read them.
The Recorder said the matter was one
subjected to the test of eeinnion sense, and
nut of microscopes. For his own part he
agreed with Judge Davis, b u t would leave
the [natter for the decision of the jury.
The Court then adjourned.
NEW YeltK, April 14.—'1'h is is the ninth
Clay of the trial of Daniel McFarland for
the murder of A. I). Richardson, and the
interest in the proceedings dims not abate
in the least degree.
Mr. 'McFarland looks much better than
he did yesterday. Ile eltattud affably with
all who approached hint.
The attendance Was as large as ever. 'rte
roughs seemed to have lost interest in the
trial, and the spectators to-day are from a
much better class of citizens than hereto
fore.
Dr. Guernsey was sworn, and testified in
relation to the haggard look, wild eye and
nervous depression of the prisoner in 1869.
He said his pulse was nervously rapid,
such as is observed in the earlier stages of
typhoid fever or delirium tremens. I pre
scribed bromide of potash. I examined
the prisoner professionally at his brother's
request. His brain was in such a condition
that the slightest mental excitement would
upset him.
Dr. O'Rourke sworn—l have been a prac
ticing physician for twenty-three years; I
saw Mr. McFarland a few days before the
shooting; he was with a friend, who said,
"Ho looks crazy and wild to-day, don't

Dr. Clarke awornL-I saw the prisoner in
1869, November, I think ; my opinion then
was that he was insanol.hls wild expres
sion impelled me to this opinion; there
wore no indications of liquor upon him;
the symptoms were the same as those wit
ness had observed in other lunatics.
Cross examined—Have seen many cases
of insanity at Blackwell's Island. I made
up my mind in November, 1869, about this
case, and I mentioned the fact to Dr.
O'Rourke; I then said I believed him to bo
of unsound mind.
W. H, Elmar, a druggist, sworn—He
testified that the defendant came to his
store to get morphine the week before the
shooting ; he had procured it of me on Bey
ond occasions previously; he took half.
grain doses; on ono occasion he came tome
for morphine at two o'clock in the morning;
ho was always greatly excited.
To Judge Davis—Ho produced a pro
scription every time became; do not know
if it was always the same; know it was the
same physician's prescription ; came once
a week for a year ; if a man took a whole
grain of morphine it would not harm him
if he was used to it.
Other medical testimony followed.
James D. McClelland, a lawyer, sworn—
I have known the accused fur about six
years; I lastsaw him a few weeks previous
to the shooting; he 'Was lunch changed;
he looked haggard, and wore an expres
sion or despair; his hair, which before was
Iffltek, was turning gray ; he was not as
cordial as initial. •
Will. C. McFarland, a physician, nephew
of tho prisoner, testified-1 knew my uncle
before his marriage; I saw him just after
illy marriage; he and his wife wore ex
ceedingly affectionate. and their affectionate
manner continued down to IS7 ; I boarded
in 1813 l in the same house ; Mrs. McFarland
WLI one her husband gave her all the money
she required; I saw Mrs. McFarland the
second day after she loft her husband ; I
called on them the Monday previous,
arid
Mr. McFarland told ono to beware of the
ingratitude of women; that is the first I
knew of any trouble; I saw her at No. 8
Washington place; she said that ho
had commenced to drink; he did not go
on sprees '
• I asked her to return; she said
she would not, but asked mo to stay with
!inn, its sho feared he might kill himself;
saw my uncle immediately afterwards; he
seemed much afflicted ; be was crying, and
when I told him this lie burst into tears; 1
asked her if she had anydoubts of her bus-
band loving her-; she said no ; lie was even :
jealous of her ; he thought the sun rose and
set on tier head.
'l'll,, examination ~f the witness was con
tinued at length. Edwin J. O'Reilly, a
person ~onnected with the press; and Peter
Gillespie, a Deputy Tax Commissioner,
were next examined. •
The Court then adjourned to Monday
next, as to-morrow will be (Mod Friday.
NEw Tutu:, April 18.—Thu Nl,Farhoni
to ial entered on its third week yesterday.
The crowd in attendance is not so numer
ous as it was, and the public interest gen
erally in the ease seems to be falling off.
The witness. Mr the defense are many,
but they have nothing particularly new or
interesting to tell concerning the prisoner's
mental condition anterior to the homicide.
1/r. Isaac Iwo and Dr. James Elliott testi
fied to having given Cho prisoner anodynes,
at different times, to quiet his mental ex
citement, and to correct the tendency he
frequently exhibited to brain disease.
iiDavid 'l'. Nallig,an, an attache of the Ap
praiser's ofliee in Jersey City, and Framis
co Irish, connected with the A reade Rail
way, swore that he had exhibited to them
peculiarities which are only noticeable in
persons who are initiates of lunatic asy
lums. Wearisome details of what he said
were also given ; fur the most part sub
stantial reiterations of what other witnesses
testified to last week.
Mrs. Owen McFarland, the prisoner's
sisier-in-law, said she had known him
about thirty years. Ito and his wife used
to stop at her house, m u d witness never
heard of arty trouble between them till the
third day after the separation. When Mc-
Farland received the intercepted letter from
Richardson he rushed frantically into the
room, put his hands on her shouldor, and
screamed, "Would you believe it of Abby,
would you belieVo it?" Ills grief was ex
oessive, so tallith so, that, he appeared irra
thmal at times.
Patrick o' Rourke and Donald Nicholson,
Tribune attaches, also testilled—the latter
to taking care of some memoranda belong
ing t,, Itiehardson, after he was shot, also
to vortain things which Richardson dictated
to him. To this latter lino of remark tlw
District Att;oney objected. but Mr. Gra
ham insisted that it was within the ruling
of the court.
Mr. G rahant vontended that the defense
had a right to show that Itielianlson's death
was hurried; they intended to show that
Snun as 110 WILY shot they eornmenced to
trigne Mr his property, and that in this
nil other wage they produced a mental
mitionent which hastened his death. In
her words, they Would slime that Itich
dson had I pushed to his death.
The Court., however, decided to exclude
questions relating to the memoranda.—
to other witnesses examined were Thos.

Ladle« Lego.--Strango Fancy of 1E11,71101
Lotlles—They have their Lebro Model-
=WM=
In a recent letter from London to the San
Francisco C/ n •onirlr, Mrs. Anna ('era Mo
watt Ritchie writes as follows :
We trust that our fair American sisters
will not lie shocked by our unhesitating
use of the word " leg, ' which they are ac
customed to designate as "limb," or "lower
limb." In England and all over Europe
that little subterfuge would ire pronounced
indelicate and affected; and it certainly is
the latter, if not the former. But to our
story :
White, symmetrical feminine legs aro
said to be disappearing from A in eridin soil.
They are so much in the ascendant in Eng
land that ladies of rank have invented a
ne method of making known their fair
pro iortions. We road in the March num
ber M--the datairy that, in a work just pub
lished, two American medical men put
fortltthe gross slander that "a handsome
leg is a rarity—we had almost said an im
possibility—among American women !"
We do not believe the ungallant NM, though
American ladies certainly are not in Ow
habit of publishing their charms by having
casts taken of their shapely legs, as an
ornament for drawing-rown bibles, or to be
sold for the benefit DI the vendor of casts,
or to be circulated among friends as a leli
cate token of friendship and valuable work
of art.
What WO are about to relate appears at
the first blush so incredible that we hold
ourselves responsible for its exact truth.
Upon the drawing-room table of a holy of
rank in London—a holy of high position
and irreproachable character—may be seen
beneath a glass case, a lovely,
foot, delicate ankle and round calf upon
the knee joint ; it is the cast of the leg of
Lady ,the hostess.
In Soho square there is a small, rather
humble looking shop, in which you
can purchase, for live shilling, a cast of
one of the must exquisite of legs ; the orng
leaf (in the flesh) belongs to Lady- tie
and It, who went to this office-shop
inroy., and had her perfect leg moulded,
and afterwards generously gave the shop
man the privilege of selling copies of the
east, which he dons daily, for it was quick
ly discovered to Whoin the beauteous leg
belonged.
One lady, the wife of a Mayor 4d' a town
in the provinces, came to London, and hail
two casts taken of her leg—one nude, and
one with the neat little shoe, stocking and
garter. Strange to say (though no artist
will call it strange) the leg with the stocking
:old garter produced an effect much further
removed from modesty than t h e leg quite
unclad. llruceiani, the cast-vender in Co
vent (.anion, drives a brisk trade in casting

been in the United States Navy upwards of
forty years. Soon after he was placed in
command of a vessel, he carried so agent
sail off Cape horn in a gale, that the ves
sel was put in peril. For this he was court
martialed and censured. This retarded
his promotion, so that when the rebellion
burst upon the country, he was merely a
Commander. Soon alter the beginning of
the war he was placed in command of the
receiving ship North Carolina, and contin

covered a long period of years, his traits of
character were such that he was never long
enough in active service to distinguish him
self. He was noted for his eccentricity and
excitable temper, and these were a great
drawback. Ito was by no moans a coward,
and always longed for active service ; but
the Navy Departmenewas slow to intrust so
excitable a Commander with an important
cam nand. Ho was wealthy, having come
into possession of valuable land in Florida,
bequeathed by his father. He leaves a

The Carlisle Vulunteer relates the details
of an outrage committed by a negro near
that place, as follows: " Tuesday even
ing, about 6 o'clock, a very respectable
lady of this town, in company with her
brother and sister, was returning to town
from a sale at Mr. John Stouribr's, in North
Middleton township. As they approached
town, the lady of whom wo speak, started
ahead of her friends, to open the house and
prepare supper. As she was passing
through "Green Lane," to the North of the
borough, she was assaulted by a burly ne
gro named John Myers, alias Lane, who
knocked tier down, and brandishing a
large knife over her head, threatened to
kill her if she did not yield to his devilish
purposes. ller screams brought her broth
er who was three or four hundred*yards
behind, to the rescue, and the black:villain
fled across the fields in the direction of the
farm of Major llenderson, where he was
captured and brought to town, and deliv
ered into the !lauds of Constable Sanno,
who brought hint before Esq. Shryock, by
whom he was committed to prison. The
justice's office was surrounded by an ex
cited crowd, who eried "kill hint, - " hang

prevailed throughout the entire conununi

A gentleman, who recently met ex-Pres

on being struck by his vigorous appear

but one dose of medicine in thirty years,
and that was forced upon him unnecessari
ly. " I attribute my good health," he said,
"to the fact of an originally strong consti
tution, to all education on a farm and to
life-long habits of regularity and temper

I never knew intoxication. Throughout
all my public life I maintained the same
regularity and habits of living to which I
lead previously been accustomed. I never
allowed my usual hours for sleep to be in
terrupted. The Sabbath I always kept as
a day of rest. Besides being a religious
duty, it was essential to health. On com
mencing my Presidential career I found
that the Sabbath had frequently been em
ployed by visitors for private interviews
with the President. I determined to put
an and to the custom, and ordered a door
' keeper to meet all Sunday visitors with an
indiscriminate refusal. While chairman

General Sheridan arrived in Troy venter
_
day morning remaining shout four hours,
and then left for Philadelphia, where ho is
to join in a banquet. Sheridan came with
a body of a Major-General of the army,
man before whose glorious, manly career
the glory of Sheridan pales almost to noth
ingness. There are not words enough to
express our detestation of the cold Hellish
ness Sheridan has exhibited. Nor aro wo
alone in this feeling. - Almost everybody
unites in terming it an outrage on decency.
Sheridan could not wait until a brother
officer was carried to his last resting place,
but must needs hurry from the scene of
mourning to ono of riotous feasting. But
this is essentially Sheridan. Could we
expect that the man who burned barns,
destroyed crops, and drove women and
children from shelter in the Shenandoah to
have any heart I Could we expect the man
who ordered the massacre of poor, sick,
half-starved savages, who had learned from
advancing civilization nothing but wick
edness, to honor the dead, though it was a
soldier of the republic, and a brother olli
iier? There is talk of reducing the arnry.
Wo believe in it to a certain degree, and
the sword should begin at the head, and
Sheridan, the inhuman, heartless, and
selfish Sheridan, should be ono of the first
to be cut olf.—Troy (N. Y.) Press.
Hanging n Man for Comfort
The Austin (Texas) Journal relates the
following: In 1637 or 1838 the county of
had just been organized, and the first
District Court was held in a small room
that had been used for a grocery. It was
the fall term, a severe norther was blowing,
and there was no fireplace or stove in the
room. A desperado was on trial for one
out of many murders ho had committed,
and the judge and jury were impatient to
end the case. The county was sparsely
settled, and, consequently, too poor to make
adequate arrangements for the comfort o
prisoners, so when the jury brought in a
verdict of guilty, the judge, in pronouning
sentence upon the culprit, said: "Bob
Jones, you have had a fair trial ; you have
been found guilty, and the court adjudges
that you be hanged by the neck until you be
dead ; but as the county is just organized,
and affords no convenience to lodge a pris
oner with any degree of comfott—there be
log no suitable building nor bedding, not
even blankets, the court do hereby, in con
sideration of his personal comfort, order
that the prisoner be taken to the nearest
tree and there hanged until be be dead, and
may the Lord have mercy on his soul."—
The sheriff then borrowded a lariat from a
bystander, put it over the culprits neck,
and led him out to a tree a few feet from the
courthouse, put it over a limb and suspend
ed the prisoner till life was extinct.

ABOUT TEM BlRDS.—Several '
the migratory birds have already return - .
to us from their Sontbern, or Winter quar
ters, and the others will soon do so. It
must be noticed by every observing person
that the various kmds of small bards are
every 7w - becoming levitisiniperou.9l *mid
that mahy'virrlettes 4 thaVefe* years . igo,
were comparatively nUmerous, are now so
scarce that rarely one of them is seen. If
birds eirtinue diminia4ing In the .same,
ratio Ibr thii heatbi yeitra they,
have diminished during the last 20 years
many varieties will be entirely extinct, and
others nearly so; and if the same course
will be pursued toward them Mat has been
pursued destroyingl them is 'continued
as heretofore instead of protecting and pre
serving them, which 'should be done ; if
man continues to be their enemy instead
of their friend which he should be, as they
are his friends, they will continue to
diminish as rapidly—if not more rapidly—
in the future than they have iii the past.
That birds were created for a wise and
,beneficent purpose, will be admitted by
- all, And, that a par. oS thispurpose is ,tella
strely ooluatleisa :tiju4tkietra ht ;4.3'0(m Uts,
would otherwise prey upon, and - destroy
our crops of fruit, grain and vegetables,
will
also be readily admitted by those who have
observed the habits of birds. That birds
are the best protectors of the crops against
the ravages of insects, that they aro more
reliable and more effective than any "in
vigorator," or any other artificial prepara
tion, is well known to all who have inves
tigated the subject. And yet but few take
any measures to protect the birds, while
many actually destroy them in various
ways, or permit them to be destroyed, when
they have the power to prevent it. The
law imposing a penalty of s2s—half to go
to the informer—for killing, or for destroy
ing the nests of insectivorous birds, is a
very good one, and should be strictly en
forced. Every farmer, gardener, and fruit
grower, and every consumer of fruit, vege
tables and grain is interested in the protec
tion and preservation of the birds, and
consequently in the enforcement of this
law, and should feel it his duty to prose
•ute every boy, or boy of a larger growth,
whom he knows to have violated this law.
Small nest-boxes for wrens and blue
birds to build in should be put up at this
season, if not already put up, not only near
all farm buildings, but at every house in
villages. Both wrens and blue-birds, but
particularly wrens, seem to love the neigh
borhood of human habitations, and they
will gratefully build in any small boxes
that may be put up tiff them. Any cheap,
plain boxes, such as any ono can in a few
minutes saw out and nail together, or even
gourds with a hole cut in each, will answer
very well. We sometimes see nest-boxes
containing four apartments, quite elegantly
finished and gaudily painted, that cost sev
eral dollars. Such miniature castles are
more ornamental than useful, as not more
than one apartment will ever be occupied
at the same time. Wrens and blue-birds
aro not social creatures, especially during
the nesting season, and when a pair of
either kind has once taken possession of a
box, or other nesting place, they will carry
on an incessant warfare against any others
that may encroach upon their supposed
rights by coming too near their possessions,
until they succeed in driving them off. It
would therefore he more beneficial to ex
pend the same amount of money in neat,
small boxes, containing oneapartment, and
place them at some distance from each
other—from 30 to 40 yards. We have known
a wren's and a blue-bird's nest within 15
yards, and two wren's nests within 25 yards
of each other at the same time, but they
seldom agree so close together, but 30 to 40
yards is sufficiently far enough to enable
them to live peaceably.
A year ago we removed to a place d•hich
had come into our possession, and whore
previously a family , resided,the children of
which wore not disposed to let the birds
alone, and were not compelled to do so.
For some time after our removal there but
few birds were to be seen, and they were
so shy that, as soon us they saw a child, or
any one approaching the place where they
were, they would instantly dart away as if
they had been shot at. They, however,
soon found out that no one shot at, nor
threw at, nor annoyed or disturbed than
in any manner, as had previously been
done, and they gradually, but slowly, be
came bolder, until they became so tame
that they took very little notice of the pres
ence of any member of the faintly; they
also increased in numbers until they be
came quite numerous. This place is situ
ated in a village, and contains but about an
acre and a half of ground, yet there were
front one to four nests of each of U different
kinds of birds, in all over 20 nests, averag
ing about 4 young ones to each nest, making
in all about 80 young birds hatched and
reared during the last year in this small lot.
We feel satisfied that if our family had
treated the birds as they were treated the
previous few years, scarcely one-tenth of
this number, if any, would have been rear
ed here. Tho highest number reared of
ono variety (wrens) was about 25, in four
nests, and the lowest (turtle-doves) 2, in
one nest, the latter were particularly shy
and only built hero very late in the season.
We expect to see twice last year's number
of wrens and blue-birds reared this year.
is wo thick is stflit:ient to prove i th❑
Ards earl appreciate kind treatment, and
hat they are more numerous where they
re not disturbed than at—in other respects
similar places, where they are disturbed.

TUE STORM—church Struck by Light
ning.—After slew days of splendid weather,
such weather as we generally have iu June,
on yesterday we were greeted with a regu
lar storm of ruin, and the atmosphere, es
pecially in the morning, was quite cold,
which, with the rain, rendered it very un
pleasant to be abroad. In the afternoon a
violent rain storm, accompanied with vivid
lightning and loud peals of thunder, passed
over the city.
During the thunder storm, at about 3 F.
M., while the Sunday School of Lutheran
Trinity Church, in Duke street, was in ses
sion, the church building was struck by
lightning—a part of the electric fluid strik
ing the top of a chimney near the notheast
corner of the church, and breaking a hole
in the wall just below the gallery. For a
short time there was considerable excite
ment among the teachers and children. No
one was hurt, however, and the damage
done the church was but trifling.
RAILROAD ACCIDENT—ProbabIe Deool.
A middle-aged woman named Polly Loeb
ler. and living at the Corner of Water anti
James streets, met with a terrible accident
on Saturday. It appears that a freight
train was engaged in shipping cars to a
sidling on the north track of the Penn's.
Railroad, near Gorrecht's coal-yard in this
city. While so engaged, the woman was
walking on the south track with the evident
intention of crossing over to Water street,
and while she was so doing, the passenger
train due front Columbia at 1:32 P. M.,
rapidly approached, and struck her so that
her leg was broken and such internal injuries
given her as to cause her death in all hu
man probability. She, it appears, did. not
hear the whistle of the locomotive, though
it was sounded loudly. She was conveyed
to her residence in an insensible condition
and appeared to be sinking rapidly at the
date of our report. Dr. Ilinkle, who was
on the Columbia train, attended to her suf
ferings, but without ayail, and shortly af
ter her conveyance to her home. Dr. John
L. Atlee, Sr., the family physician, made an
examination of her clam and proclaimed her
recovery hopeless. The woman was very
pier, a chiffonier by trade, and aged about
50 years.
Flint lien Isst7nitts.—The mid
dle-aged woman, Polly Doebler, living at
the corner of Water and James streets, who
was so badly injured by the cars near (tor
recht's coal yard, in this city, on Saturday
afternoon, died yesterday at 12 o'clock.
ANOTHER FATAL AreIDENT.—As the
noon passenger train for York was leaving
the Columbia Depot, a man, name un
known, apparently a stranger, in attempt
ing to jump on the cars missed his hold,
and fell on the track. The wheels passed
over his neck, severing the head and
crushing it in a horrible manner. His
remains were taken in charge by the Depu
ty Coroner.
NEW PRISON VAN.—The rickety old,
Black Maria that has rattled and creaked
for years along East King street, between
the Court House and the prison, has at last
been condemned, and the Commissioners
have had it replaced by a safe and substan
tial van, constructed on a new principle by
S. B. Cox di Co., coachinakers, of South
Duke street. The now van is omnibus
shaped with seats on each side capable of
carrying eight prisoners. It is lighted by
four small grated apertures, two on each
side. The rear end of the body contains a
small compartment to accommodate female
prisoners or the officers having the prisoners
in charge:The driver sits in front on the top.
The upper part of the body is painted black,
the lower panel green, and the running
gears dark green. The front wheels are wo
constructed that they run under the body
of the vehicle, so tiug it may be turned
around in its own length. Drawn by sheriff
Myers' dashing match horses, it attracts
considerable attention as it rolls along with
its inmates securely seated inside. Among
the many questionable public acts of the
County Commissioners, it is a pleasure to
be able to mention with commendation the
purchase of the new van.
HARNESS RECOVEU ED.—For 801110 weeks
past Paradise township has been infested
with thieves, who have stolen a number of
sets of harness and other property from
Itobt. S. McEyelike, Rota. M. Slaymaker
and others. Last Saturday morning a set
of harness was taken to market byitzer
Magner, and put in the hands of Carpenter
Taylor, the clerk of Auctioneer Martin, and
sold. It has since bee❑ identified as the
property of Mr. Mclivaine. Constable
Huber arrested Wagner this morning and
took him before Alderman Amweg, by
whom he was committed for a further
hearing.
Carpenter Taylor, the clerk, was after
wards arrested and taken before the same
magistrate on a charge of receiving the
harness from Wagner, knowing it to be
stolen. He was held for a further hearing.
GOLDEN Wl:numb—The fiftieth anni
versary of the wedding of John and De
borah brown, of this city, took place Wed
nesday evening, at the residence of Jacob
Rathvon, in Prince street. The venerable
couple, whose "golden wedding" was cel
ebrated on this occasion, were married in
Philadelphia, on the 13th of April, 1820, by
the Rev. Dr. Brodhead, at that time, pastor
of the Crown Street Dutch Reformed church
who died In New York a few years ago.
There were present at the anniversary all
the children and grandchildren, besides
relatives, numbering altogether about
fifty persons. The cards of invitation is
sued noted the fact that "no presents"
would be expected on the occasion. Short
addresses appropriate to the reunion were
delivered by the Rev. Dr. Greenwald, Rev.
Mr. Suesserott, of this city, and Mr. J. G.
L. Brown, of Phihulelplia, who gave
a brief and interesting history of the fam
ily, with the changes wrought by limo in
the last half century.
THE funeral of Mr. John Gyger, Presi
dent of the First National Bank, of this
city,took place, Wednesday afternoon. The
decea.sed was interred in the Lancaster
cemetery; Rey. E. S. Watson, of St. James'
Episcopal Church, officiated at the grave.
Religions services were also held at the
residence of A. D. Gyger at Enterprise;
Rev. Mr. Pugh, of M. E. Church, officiat
ing.
A. H. KAUFFMAN, formerly of the Fair:
view Hotel, Manor twp., has taken posses
sion of the Buck Hotel, recently occupied
by Sam'! Harbison, in Drumore twp.
O'BRIEN'S GRAND CARAVAN AND MONSTER
MENAGERIE.—Mr. O'Brien, who has long been
identified with the most extensive and at
tractive traveling exhibitions of the age, has
for some months past been engaged in fitting
out a Mammoth Menagerie for the coming sea
son, which will eclipse all previous efforts, and
for completeness, constitute all that can be re
alized of a model animal show. This monster
Caravan in extent and variety comprises the
most costly and rarest collection of ani
mals and birds ever witnessed in this or
any other country. Attached to this travel
ing exhibition are three Elephants, among
which will be found the largest one ever
captured and but lately arrived from his
native wilds, as well as the smallest one ever
brought to this country, togetter with IS mas
sive dens of wild and ferocious animals and
beautifully plumaged birds, forming the great
est collection of animated nature ever present
ed to the public. That all can Judge of the
extent and grandeur of th is Monster Menagerie
they shouid not fall to witness the grand entree
procession on the morning of exhibition day.
No Circus is connected with this moral exhibi
tion. This Mammoth Menagerie will exhibit
In Lancaster, on Monday, April 25th.
Boys.—Some good mothers still have their
boys' clothing made at home. They do not
know how much cheaper and better they could
clothe their sons at Oak Hall.
