A Sad Affair.
On last Sunday night a tragedy
transpired, which bas cast a deep gloom over
our oommunity. A number of persons, on
their way from Pennsvalley Campmeeting,
stopped at the residence of-Elias Horner,
near the summit of Nittany mountain.—
An altercation occurred between William
Ilays, Edward Lipton, and Huston Pocr>
man which resulted in the death of the lat
ter. We give, below, the particulars of the
affair, taken from the evidence g'ven be
fore the coroner, at the inquest. For this
evidence weare indebted to Wm. J. Ivealsh,
Esq., who was present when it was given
in, and who kindly furnished us the copy.
Augustus 11. Poorman and Wm. Fisher
came to the house of Elias Horner, a little
while before sun down, on Sunday evening,
and took supper there. About dusk, Ed
ward Lipton and William liays came to the
house on their way from camp meeting, and
stopped and asked for a drink of water. It
was not long until a difficulty occurred be
tween Poorman and Lipton, but which was
settled without a fight. Poorman and Fish
er had started to go home, when Poorman
discovered he had forgotten his walking
stick, (which the witness said "was an inch
and a quarter through,") which he called
his horse. He was told where he could find
it, and white he had it in his hand, and be
fore he turned to join Fisher, who was two
rods distant and over the yard fence, he and
Lipton got into another quarrel of words.—
Poorman said he was a "good man." Lip
ton said he was a good man too, for the size
of him. Poorman then threw away the
stick, and, in the language of the witness,
"rolled up his sleeves." Lipton picked up
the stick and gave Poorman a blow about
the head which staggered him, and " he
staggered and run," turning his back to
ward Lipton, when Liptou struck him again
on the.back of the head. This blow knock
ed Poorman down, and he fell on one side
and ro'led over on his back. The witness
says he never moved or struggled afterward.
Hays, after Poorman was knocked down,
joined with Lipton in beating and kicking
Poorman. Fisher came as quickly as pos
sible, and pulled Lipton away, and Mrs.
Horner pu led Hays back, breaking his
watch guard and pulling out his watch. —
Hays picked up his watch, put it in his
pocket, and then went at beating and kick
ing Poorman again. After Poorman was
knocked down, Lipton had thrown the stick
to one side, Mrs. Horner seized the stick
and when Fisher pulled him b ick, she struck
him (Lipton) with it, and • told him he had
killed the man. Lipton pulled the stick from
lier and said he did not care a G—d d—n.
that he knew it, but that he was goiog to
war. Ilays ran to the buggy and urged
Lipton to come, which he did, and they
started off rapidly down the Moun ain to
ward Bellefonte. While they were yet in
sight, people returning from camp meeting,
6toped at the house, and everything was
done that could be done. A doctor was
sent for to Centre Hall, but life was extinct,
and the pulse must have ceased beating a
few minutes after the occurrence.
Some person stopped on the way and told
a brother in-law oi P. orman, that Ilust.
Poorman was killed. Lie and the lather of
the deceased came to Bellefonte about one
o'clock on Monday morning, got a warrant
for Lipton and Hays, put it in ihe hands of
Deputy Sheriff Isaac Lose, who started im
mediately with a strong posse to Milesburg,
the home of Lipton and llaj s. A friend had
given the parties notice of the death of Poor
man, and they, so we are informed, came to
to Bellefonte for legal advice. The Deputy
Sheriff, noticing a horse and buggy standing
in (ront of an attorney's office, went in and
found both Lipton and Hays in consultation
with their attorney. They were arrested
without any difficulty, and conveyed to our
Jail (?)
The following is the result of the post
mortem investigat on 1
The Coroner subpoe >aed Drs. Fairlainh,
Dobbins, Green and Mitchell, to make a
post mortem examination. Drs. Green and
Dobbins, wire early in attendance and com
menced operations. Drs. Potter and Mitch
,>ll came in after the operation of taking off'
the top of the skull had bien p ifjrmed, they
were however in time to examine the ex
tent of the injuries. Thire appeared to
have been severol severe blows upon the
head, one just above the left eye, cutting the
skin to the boneof the brow ; on the top of
the head near the crown ; there was markes
of a blow upon the scalp which had commu
nicated its stunning affects to the brain ;
another blow below the crown had also af
fected the brain, and two others of the same
character near the base of the brain. A
blow had been given behind and below the
bottom of the right ear which sceu>9 to have
destroyed everything to the bone. The
brain exhibited large quantities of e.. ?i
--sated blood. A thorough examination ft is
made of the neck, by Drs. Dobbins and
Green, by disectery down to the bone, when
it was found that the neck had not been
dislocated as was at first supposed.
The murdered man was buried in Miles
burg Cemetry, on Tuesday morning. The
prisoners are in jail awaiting their trial,
which will take place next week.
We will give our readers a full account
of the trial
FAIR FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ST. JOHN'S
CATHOLIC SCHOOL.— The children of the St.
John's Catholic School, assisted by their
teacher and pastor, purpose holding a fair
for the benefit of their school, at the school
room, near the church, on Saturday next.—
The public ars respectfully invited to attend.
Admission to fair-room 5 cents. Single tick
ets for supper, 50 cents ; for lady and gen
tleman, 75 cents. Doors open at 2 and 7
o'clock P. M.
"What is to be Done with the Pi
rates ?
This question is now seriously discussed in
the Cabinet, without any defiinite answer
being arrived at. It is supposed that in the
next four weeks, our newly sent out fleet
will have captured at least four hundred
Southern sailors, who according to the doc
trine enunciated by the Executive, must be
regarded as pirates and executed as such.—
But you are aware that the subject is full of
difficulty. At the time Gen. McClellan took
so many prisoners with Col. Pegram, I wrote
to you that the War Department bad sent
him orders to release them all. This order,
of course, he obeyed. I stated at the same
time, that the Administration had decided
not to hang any of the sailors taken on board
of Southern privateers. This was true at
the time. The decision was made, not from
any feeling of clemency towards the captur
ed eailors, but from motives of policy. No
instance of hanging 'na9 aa yet taken place
on either side ; and the Administration felt
unwilling to begin a course of policy which
might be followed on the other side.
The result of the inauguration of such a
policy would be the indiscriminate murder
of hundreds of prisoners in the hands of the
Rebels, including many valuable citizens,
and the enactment of scenes of horror une
qualed by those of the French Revolution.—
The Administration, therefore, decided, as I
have said, not to bang any of the pirates.—
But within a day or two the question has been
again raised in the Cabinet, At least one
member of that body is in favor, as he ex
presses it, of " discarding all squeamish non
sense, and of hanging every Rebel found in
arms against the Government, wbctocr taken
on the sea or land." This is undoubtedly
the course that ought to bo taken, if the Gov
ernment regards this matter as simply an
" insurrection." This is the view taken of
it by President Lincoln, and he too, although
he deplores the necessity of such dreadful
measures, is in favor of such a course as will
show to the world that we are in earnest in
this matter, and that traitors found in arms
against the Government must expect and re
ceive a traitor's doom. But the Secretary of
State is in favor of a milder, and as he
t'links, of a wiser courso of policy. lie ad
mits that, by the strict rules of law, the
Southern privateersmen are pirates, and to
hang them might be justifiable ; hut, he says,
necessity haß led us to disregard former con
stitutional provisions, since the commence
ment of this strife. ID this instance, the
same necessity would seem to dictate a relax
ation of the strict rule of law. If we hang
these men, the Rebels will bang Mr. Ely,
Col. Corcoran and hang Mr. Faulkner and
the prisoners at Fort Lafayette. Thus there
will be no end to hornra. To avoid this,
Mr. Seward favors a more linient course tbau
he would recommend under ordinary circum
stances. His opinion has great weight with
the President; but the matter is by no means
decided. The other members of the Cabi
net are divided in sentiment on the subject.
Mr. Wells sides with Mr. Seward, and the
Secretary of War ho'ds about the same views,
only he objects to any further rdease of
prisoners, as in the case of Col. Pegtam's
men. Mr. Bates and Mr. Blair both go for
extreme measures, regardless of consequen
ces ; and Mr. Smith entertains the same
views.— Cor. Phil'a. Inquirer.
The Battle at Springfield.
. ROLLA, MO., Aug. 13.
The following additional account of the
battle at Springfield furnished by an eye
witness, who lelt Springfield on Sunday
morning and came through to this place on
horseback.
Our army matched out of Springfieid on
Friday evening only fifty five hundred strong
the Home Guards remaining in Springfield.
Our forces slept on the prairie a portion oi
the night, and at about sunrise on Saturday
morning drove in the outposts of the enemy
ar.d soon after the attaek became general.
The attack was made in two co unins by
Gens. Lyon and Sturgiss and gen. Seig'e
leading a fl inking force of about one thouo
sand men and four guns on the north of the
enemy's camp. The fight raged from sun
rise until oue or twn o'clock in the afternoon
The rebels in overwhelming force charged
on Capt. Totten's battery three distinct times
but were rapuised with great laughter.
Gen Lyon fell early in the day. lie had
been previously wouuded in the leg and had
a horse shot from under him. T: 6 Colonel
of one of the Kansas regiments having be
come disabled, the boys cried out " General
you come and lead us oo." lie did so and
at once put himself in front, and while cheer
ing the men on to the charge received a bul
let in the left breast and fell irom his horse
He was asked if he was hurt and replied
" no not much," but in a few minutes after
ward he expired without a struggle.
Gen. Sie„el had a very severe struggle,
and lost thiee of his guns. His artillerv
horses were shot in their harness, and the
pieces disabled. lie endeavored to haul
them off with a number of prisoners he had
taken, but was finally compelled to aband >n
th ;m lis first however, spiked the gun
an I di-abled the carriages.
At about one o'clock the enemy seem°d to
be in great disorder and retreating. Their
baggage wagons were on fire.
Our forces were too much fatigued and cut
up to pursue, so the battle may be co'.s der
a draw.
The Missouri First and lowa First regi
ments suffered the most.
Gentri! Price was not killed. There were
rumors on 'he field that Ben. McCullougb
was killed but the rebels denied it.
Ou S-i'urday night Br. Marcher and others
of our army went back wi'h ambulances ts
the battle field from Springfield to see about
the killed arid wounded. They fund the
enemy on ilia field and were considera'ety
treated-
Gsn Lyon's body had been treated with
great respect and was biought b-.ck with
some of the wounded to Springfield.
Major Sturgess tock command of the bat
tle field after the death of Gen. LJOD.
Gen. Sisgel took command afier the battle
Our loss is variou-ly estimated at from 150
to 300 killed and 700 wounded- The enemy's
loss is placed at 2,000 killed and wounded.
Our boys captured one hundred hoioes of
the enemy.
The enemy carried two flags, the Confed
erate and the Stars and stripes.
Gen. Siegel marched back to Springfield
in good order. After perfecting his arrange
ments, gathering the baggage, blowing up
what powder ho could not carry, and de
stroying other property which he did not
want to tall into the hands of the enemy, be
left Springfi dd, and on Sunday night en
camped thirty miles this side of that place,
the enemy not pursuing.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
fFS" John Meinhart of Tyrone, a dealer in
liquors of all kinds, and especially ot German
Wines, has appointed Jacob Daniels of Halfmoon
his Agent in that place, and D. M. Wagner of the
Borough of Bellefonte to sell these Wines to all
who may call upon them for sacramental and
other purposes, i'he Wine is the pure juice of
the grape, imported from Germany and ranges
from sixteen to six years old. It is warrented
good and pare, and all persons wishing a geuuiue
article of vine, should call upon Mr. Meinhart in
Tyrone, Jacob Daniels in Halfuioon, or D. M.
Wagner in Bellefonte. Churches and ail others
wishing a pure article should call upon either of
the above named gentleman and satisfy thom.-
si_lcs as to its purity and gsnuousne3s.
ffgyWe invite special attention to the adver
tisement of Prof. W od's Resto alive Cordial and
Blood Renovator, in another column. For weak
ness and generally debility there is nothing
like it; it will strengthen, exhilerate, create an
appetite at once, regulate the bilious system, aid
.digestion/and in short, restore the weakened or
gans to all their original vigor and strength. So
valuable a Tonic Cordial should be in the hands
of every invalid and in every family. Header,
try it.
j®-We take great pleasure in calling the at
tention of eur readers to the advertisoment of
Prof. Wood's Restorative Cordial and Blood Ren
ovator, in another column of our paper. It is
seldom wo take any notice of patent medicines,
but we cannot refrain from speaking of this Cor
dial, and do justice to the afflicted as well as our
selves. We have wat-hed the progress of this
Cordial since its first introduction to the public,
and we are satisfied that there is nothing in use
for cleansing the system and renovating the blood,
that can bo compared with Prof. Wood's Cordial.
Any one suffering from general debility, after us
ing one bottle will see its beneficial effects. Wo
have had a long acquaintance with the proprietor,
and know him to be skilled in the science ef med
icine; and anything compounded by him the pub
lic can rely upon as being just what it is recom
mended. We would advise all sick or well to get
a bottle. It is pleasant to the ta.-te, and exhilar
ating to the system. But we refrain from further
comments, as any one, after using one bottle, will
be satisfied as to its effects.

the most powerful tonic, and yet perfectly adapt

of nature, aud hence soothe the weakest stomach and
tone up the digestive organs, and allay all ner

As it prevents costiveness, strengthens the di

During the pasi year we have introduced to
the notice of the medical profession of this coun
try the Pure Crystalized Chloride of Propylamine,
as a
REMEDY FOR RHEUMATISM ;
and having received from many sources, both
from physic ians of the highest standing and from
patients, the
IVZost flattering- Testimonials of its real
value in the treatment of this painful and obsti
nate disease, we are induced to present it to the
public in a form READY FOR IMMEDIATE
USE, which wo hope will commend itself to those
who are suffering with the afflicting complaint,
and to the medical practitioner who may feel dis
posed to test the powers of this valuable remedy.
ELIXIR PROPYLAMINE, in the form above
spoken of, has recently been extensively experi
mented with in the
PENNSYLVANIA HOSPITAL,
and with MARKED SUCCESS (as will appear
from the publishedaccounts in the medical jour
nals.)
It is carefully put up ready for immedi
te use, with full directions, and can be obtained
from all the druggists at 75 cents per bottle, and

FP.OF. 0. J. WOOD: Dear Sir:—ln the latter
part of the year 1852, while attending the Stati
and National Law School of the State of New
York, mv hair, from a cause unknown to me, com
menced falling off very rapidly, so that in the
short space of six months, the whole upper partoj
my scalp was almost entirely bereft of its cover
ing, and much of the remaining portion upon the
side and back part of my head shortly after bo
came gray, so that you will not be surprised when
I tell you tbat upon my roturn to the State of In
diana, my more casual aoqu ilntances were not so
muen at a loss to discover the cause of the changa
in my appearance, as my more intimate acquain
ces were to recognize me at all.
I at once madt application to the most skillful
physicians in the country, hut, receiving no as
surance from them that my hair could again be
restored, I was forced to become reconciled to njy
fate, until, fortunately, in the latter part of the
year 1857, your Restorative was recommended te
me by a druggist, as being the mostreliablo Hair
Restorative in use. I tried one bottle, and found
to my great satisfaction that it was producing the
desired effect. Since that time, I have used seven
dollars' worth of your Restorative, and as a re
sult, have a rich coat of very Boft hlack hair,
which no inoDey can buy.
As a mark of my gratitude for your labor and
skill in the production of so wonderful an article,
I have recommended its use to many of my friends
and acquaintances, who, I am happy to inform
you, are using it with like effect. Very respect
fully, yours, A. M. LATTA,
Attorney and Counsellor at Law.
