day last, and after able and lengtby argu

the Commonwealth, and RUSSELL THAYER
fo- the prisoner, the jury retired under the
charge of the Court. After a short absence
they returned a verdict of "Guilty of mur
der in the second degree." Counsel for the

that a juror had previous to the trial ex
pressed an opinion in regard to the guilt of
the prisoner. The Court granted a rule,re

Until the rule for a new trial is disposed

THE DIAMOND DICKENS—DAVID COF
FERPIELD. —We have the statement from
the publishers, that the three first "dia
monds" of this brilliant cluster have met
with a side of forty-five thousand copies.—
They are • 'The Posthumous Papers of the
Pickwick Club," "Our Mutual Friend, and
the ' 'Personal Experience of David Copper
field the Younger." That the enterprise is
success is no less certain than it is grati
fying to all who admire its standard char
acter, convenient size, clear type and gen
eral comeliness. And it is almost equally
satisfactory to know that the illustrious
author shares in the profits of the publish
ers, accruing from its sale—that, although
stolen fruit is considered "sweetest," his
labor does not go unrenumerated. Socially,
Americans may not owe as much to Dickens
as do his countrymen for his attempts to
elevate their humanity, yet, in a literary
point of view, we must acknowledge that no
one, at home or abroad, delights us more
than he has done for thirty years past.—
"Pickwick," the initial of his humorous
works, and still the most amusing ; "Our
Mutual Friend," his latest, and by many
deemed equal to his best, and "David Cop
perfield," undoubtedly the superior of all
the rest, are now before the public in this
dainty form and dress, and their rapid sale
well attests the popularity they have
achieved.
Every lover of Dickens should get this
edition. The illustrated volumes are $1.50
each, and the plain, 51.25. They can be
obtained at the publishers' prices, at the
Bookstore.

DIED.
WILCOX—In Franklin, Bradford Co. Pa.,
July 27th, iB6O, Gates Wilcox, in the 76th
year of his age.
He was born Sept 21st, 1790, in eastern
lthode Island. He was very extensively
known, having lived in a great many differ
ent places. From Rhode Island he accom
panied his father to Chenango Co. N. Y. in
1805 and settled on a farm. For a number
of years that occupation interested his mind.
But after awhile he commenced a more pub
lic business as mill builder, and during his
life built twenty one mills and several other
factories. He was one of the most thor
ough-going and energetic men of the age.—
He was Superintendent of the poor house
in Chenango Co., three years, but the most
of his life was spent in mill building, and
Pennsylvania will long enjoy the benefit of
his skill in that line, as most of them were
built in its pine forests, and many of them
are yet in operation along the West Branch,
from the month of the Loyal-Sock up to
Youngwomanstown ; also the Pine Creek
lumber region has very many visible marks
of his industry : And too Wellsboro, Tioga
Co. can speak of his early intelligence. It
may also be remembered that the great
booming plan for holding logs in the rapid
West Branch was put on foot by him ; and
perhaps we can safely say that there is not
a mountain along the West Branch and
Pine Creek range that he did not explore.
Always resolute and determined, he gene
rally sue ceeded in whatever he undertook,
and though failimg in some iustances he
would try again, and thus he became vietor.
In his life he blessed a large family, haying
married three times, leaving two children
by his widow Mrs. Wilcox, in Franklin. He
passed his last days on the farm known as
the Hawley place. Hie character as a citi
zen was one of the most noble, kind, and
generous hearted especially to the poor.—
He said that he never designedly wronged
a pei-son. He was a good farmer, a peace
able man, a fine neighbor, a true Republi
can Patriot, hating everything pro-slavery
in its nature ; and when Abraham Lincoln
fell he wept like a child.
As a christian, he made a public profes
sion of religion in his early manhood, and
during his last illness (which was very pro
tracted) he was one of the most patient un
complaining and resigned men that I ever
saw, giving good evidence that he was pos
sessed of those sustaining virtues of the
christian religion, and was frequently heard
to say that lo him the future looked bright
-and we trust he is now at rest.
His labors done securely laid
In the last long retreat,
Unheeded o'er the silent dust
The storms of life shall beat.
Yet not thus lifeless in the grave
The vital spark shall lie ;
For o'er lifes wreck that spark shall rise,
To seek its kindred sky.

DECKER BROTHERS NEW SCALE PIANOS.
—The following notice of these celebrated
pianos is from the pen of Henry C. Watson,
Editor of the American Art Journal and one
of the best critics in musical matters in the
United States.
The new scale square piano just turned
out by Decker Brothers' No. 91 Bleecker
Street, is an instrument of rare and extra
ordinary beauty. Admirable as their instru
ments have been,heretofore, they are entire
ly eclipsed by this recent improvement.
The principle upon which the Decker
Bros pianos are made, and of which princi
ple they hold the exclusive Patent, is that
all the strings shall have their bearings or
contact points, upon wood. This is obtain
ed by raising the bass end of the plate in
the casting, which permits the strings to
pass under it to the tuning pins, und rest
upon the wrest plank. Holes corresponding
to the tuning pins, but larger, are cast in
the plate, so that none of the resonant mate
rial of the piano, comes in contact with
iron.
Decker Bros, have tested this Patent
principle on an enlarged scale, and have
gained results in proportion. The tone,
which is exquisitely refined, rich and sym
pathetic, lias vastly increased in power,
gaining in grandeur of volume, without los
ing any of those fine qualities, which always
characterized their instruments and have
made them a solid reputation wherever they
have become known, We can imagine
nothing finer of their class than the new
scale square pianos of Decker Bros. Faith
ful, delicate, and highly finished workman
ship, gives the result of a perfect equality
in all their instruments. This fact has led
to the general remark among the best pro
fessors, that one has no "need to choose
among the pianos of the Decker Bros, for
they are all equally admirable."
The name of "Decker" has been made a
valuable trade mark by the Decker Bros.,
on account of the superb and trustworthy
instruments which they manufacture. This
fact has been taken advantage of by other
parties, who are now using the name of
Decker in the hope of profiting by the pres
tige which it confers. But the public must
not be led astray. The Decker instruments
which stand so high in reputation through
out the United States, are the Patent pianos
manufactured exclusively by Decker Bros,
of No. 91 Bleecker Street, New York, and
tkese can always be known first, by their
rare beauty, and power of tone, fine touch,
and superior finish, and secondly, by the
words Decker Bros.' Patent, June,lß63,cast
on the left hand side of the iron plate, with
out which there is no genuine Decker Bros.
pianos. Purchasers therefore bearing these
points in mind, and remembering the date
of the Patent particularly, can be certain of
securing the genuine instrument.
