It is impossible to convey an idea of

Southern men around him. They listen

and more than one with a pale cheek and
moistened eye; and though they did not
say tliey agreed with the eloquent Doc

candor and warmth with which be had

If Jnniata county were the posses

Harrisburg, Johnstown, or Danville, not
a pound of the produce raised in the

and would command better prices than it
does by sending it to outside markets.
Labor would command double its present
rates, and property would bring much
better prices, and a high prosperity gen

Baa Dosing) Grant and Sumner.
The attitude of the Republican party
on the acquisition of Fan Domingo baa
been the source of infinite delight to
the leaders of the Democracy. In the
position taken by Mr. Sumner against
President Grant's recomtneudation of the
annexation of that Island, they exultant
ly express the belief that a division has
been created in the Republican party that
cannot be healed. They say it presages
the dismemberment of the party. If Sen
ator Sumner and President Grant, were
men of a different cast of mind, if they
were leaders of faction, given to the arts
of a low order of statesmen, then indeed,
would the danger be great j but they be
long not to that order. They may differ
as did President Lincoln and Sumner be
fore, and yet remain earnest friends and
the hearty advocates of the perpetuity
of the political organisation that saved
free government from the clutches of
Southern despotism, and made them the
prominent and great men that they are.
We append an account from Mr. Sum
ner's pen of the courtesy and friendship
that existed between the Senator and
President Lincoln, during tbe time that
Mr. Sumner opposed some of President
Lincolu's wise schemes. Mr Sumner says:
'That which the country knows tbe
least about, my constant intimacy with
Mr. Lincoln, and constant pressiug upon
hitn of emancipation as tbe means to be
used in crushing the rebellion.. I did
not take it then as a moral question, for
whatever m ly be said of me 1 have al
ways aimed to be eminently practical,
and to weigh carefully all that I say.
I nrged emancipation the day after the
battle of Pull Run, aud ever after war! .

trritr, of which the public knows b'lt lit

on the contary, on the day ot maugura

been to any parly or entertainment, but,
in the circutnt-tauces, concluded to accept
i the invitation.
At the proper time the carriage came
to my door. I found Mr. and Airs. Lin
coln, and Mr. Colfax within, and I took
the fourth and remaining seat. I took
Mrs. Lincoln on my arm to the dias or
platform, and then told Mr. Lincoln I
would leave them and mingle with tbe
throng, as the crowd wanted to look at
him (Mr. Lincoln); but be insisted that
I should sit with him, and seemed to take
this very conspicuous way of assuring
the Senators, Representatives, and peo
ple present that he still claimed inc as a
friend, and that a conscientious discharge
of what I thought my duty, although di
reetly opposed to what might be his fav
orite projects, would not sever or weaken
our intercourse. This emphatic endorse
ment made no little sensat ion at tbe time.
At the proper hour I took Mrs. Lincoln
to t'ie supper.
This incident was certainly compli
mentary and honorable to both parties,
and it is certainly suggestive in the pres
ent relations between the Senator and the
President
The War iu France.
A week ago intelligences from the
Old" informed the New World that all
the French armies had again been defea
ted. excepting the one under Bonrbaki,
who, it was said, had gained some advan
tage over the opposing German Comman
der, General Von Werder. Bourbak;
was operating southeast of Paris, evi
dently with the intention of moving
northward -to break tbe German line of
communication and supplies with the
"Fatherland." But a great battle that
was fought on the 17th, inst., has entire
ly changed the face of affairs in the de
partment of the East. Bonrbaki was
defeated and compelled to retreat with
the loss of nearly 8,000 troops. Prince
FredericCharles captured 22,000 nu woun
ded prisoners in tbe battle about Le-Mans
On the 19th the French made a sorte
from Paris in force. They numbered one
hundred thousand. They were beaten
back with a loss of 15,000.

Correspondence of tbe Pittsburg Oaietts
Lima, 0 , Jan. IS, 1371.
Through the courtesy of Sheriff Col
bath, of Lima, Allen county, Ohio, I was
permitted to visit Andrew 13rentlinger,
who is under sentence of death for the
murder of his wife in Shawnee township,
about nine miles from tbis place. The
minder was committed on the t9th of
October last, at his residence outside of
tbe log cabin, aud is almost isolated, eur
rouuded by woods, on other residence
nearer than a mile, and for fiendish atro
city and cold blooded butchery, it has
not its parallel in the annals of crime.
A HORRIBLE DBED.
It appears th at he and bis wife had
not been living very peaceably together,
and parted at one time, but got together
again sometime since, but lived no better
than before. Prentlioger was jealous of
some of his neighbors who visited his
house, and be thought they were crimi
nally intimate with his wife. On Mou
day afternoon about two o'clock, on the
29: h of October, he got into a quarrel
with his wife ia front of his house, when
he tripped her and struck her on the
head, knocking her down. He then
turned her over and stabbed her several
times with a small knife, from the effects
of which she fainted, he supposing she
was dead lie then went to tbe stable
and sa idled his horse aud was ready to
escape, wheti be saw her rise on her
knees with bands clasped in tbe attitude
of prayer, calling to her little girl for
water. lie prohibited the child from
getting water aud theu told iter to go in
... ... ..........
t"e nouse and bring to Uira his dirk auite.
She refused to do this at first, but he
threatened to kill her also and she fiually
J
got it for him, and with this he commenced
j uis ne,li"u wor!t- Approaching his wife
I be said. "G I l n you, have you not
got enough yet." aud plunged the dirk in
her breast and abdomen six or seven
times in juccpps on. the blood spurting
in his face ; aud strange to relate, she
' lived half au hour afterwards, feebly ut-l
j terine her prayers till death released her
g her prayers
from her sufferings.
THE CONCEALMENT.
He then got on his horse and rode two
miles to where his, son-in-law lived, aud
to his two sous, nine and fifteen miles dis
tauce, where they were working, and in
formed them what he had done and di
reeled them to go home and told them
how and where to bury the body, saying
that if they refused or told of the mur
der he would kill them. The son in-law,
iu the meantime, sent to the house and
discovered tbe body weltering in blood
aud placed a wagon bed over it till the
shades of night set iu and to await the
arrival of his sons. About two o'clock in
the morning they commenced to dig a
grave for her about thirty steps from the
house, some two feet deep. They placed
the body on a door and carried it to the
grave and tumbled it, face downwards,
and in the same clothes in which tbe was
murdered, and all covered and stuck to
gether with clotted blood. They then
covered her up and ploughed, har
rowed and sowed grain over the ground
to conceal the place.
ML'KUKR WILL OCT.
It is sail that "murder will out," and
it is my impression that if it had not
been for the following accident it would
still have remained a mystery as to the
disposal of the wif,;. The night follow
ing the interment of the body the family
! were aroused from their slumbers by the
howling of a dog over the corpse, which
was drawn there by the shallowness of
the grave, and which so horrified the per
sons in the bouse that they remained in
intense agony during the entire night.
As soon as day made its appearance tbey
at once proceeded to give the information
which caused the arrest and conviction
of Brentlinger. The case was immedi
ately laid before the Grand Jury and a
bill was brought against him of murder
in the first degree. He was ably defend
ed by two of the best lawyers in the
State, who raised the plea of insanity,
but tbe case was to palpable and the ver
dict of tbe jury was "murder in tbe first
degree," and the Judge sentenced him to
be hung on Friday, January 2Sth, be
tween tbe hours of nine and one.
THE CONDEMNED.
Brentlinger is a man of forbidding ap
pearance, and has not borne a very good
character heretofoi e, though, to my sur
prise, I was informed that he was a mem
ber of tbe M. . Church, and held family
worship ou the morning of the murder.
The clergymen of the several churches
have, for some unexplained reason, never
visited him, either before or after the trial,
excepting me .Minister ot me English
xutneran vuurcn, wno uasnecn in almost
constant attendance upon him It is sur
mised that prisoner caused the death of
his wife by gross cruelty, and probably
by violence, but as to the correctness of
that story I am unable to say. It is the
determined opinion, however, that such
is the case.
PEtf PICTURE.
He stands about five feet six inches
high, is fifty two years of age, was born
in Licking county, Ohio, is of dark com
plexion aud greyish eyes, deep set, low
forehead, but broad at the base, is ignor
ant and superstitious, and cannot read or
write. Phrenologically speaking, the an
imal largely predominates over the re
flective aud thinking faculties. His de
meanor in jail has sometimes amounted
to levity. He does not appear to realize
the awful position in which he stands
He often imagines and says that it is
very hard that his wife should appear to
him in bis cell at night and plead with
him that he should see their children pro
perly cared for. He has eight children.
five of them by his first wife. Three of
tbem are quite young, and these his
spltitual adviser has kindly taken charge
of and placed them already in one of our
charitable institutions, where they will
secure a Christian education, and be well
cared for. A great deal might be said as
to his imprisonment, but as he is so igno
rant, I do not think it would be of any
interest to your readers to relate his ev
ery day life.
TUB SCAFFOLD.
The execution will take pluce iu the
yard of the jail on Friday in persuance
to sentence. Workmen are already en
gaged in erecting the scaffold. The ex
ecution will be strictly private, none ex
cepting the officials and his spiritual ad
viser, in accordance with the laws of tbe
State will be aduiitel to the yard. I
have been informed that the sheriff had
ordered a number of muskets from Col
umbus, he being apprehensive of some
difficulty arising from parties endeavor
ing to force themselves iu the jail yard
to witness the execution, but after con
sultation with the Adjutant of tbe State,
he has determined to rely ou the citizens
of the town for support.

Ma. Robcht Bo.wtH, of New York
appears to be detrniiued to keep ahead iu
the fast horse line. It is well known
that he never races ; his pride is to pos
sess the fastest horses in the world, and
at present he enjoys this celebrity. So
far "Pexter" stands first; but be has
other horses coming on which it is be
lieved will equal hitn in speed if not sur
pass him. Pocobontas will hardly do
this, though an animal of great speed
and of surpassing beauty. But there is
"Joe Elliott," who is rrgaided as oue of
j l''e
greatest trotters for his years that has
ever appeared. But Mr. Bonner has an
other, aud one in which he has still
gi eater confidence ; it is "Startle, a
three year old, and it is said by the best
judges to be the most promising animal
of his age ever "trotted out." He is a
brother to Dexter, and cau now make
his mile iu 2.25. His trainer says of
him : "He is the world's wonder and no
mistake." But right on the heels of this
we have a Kentucky three-year old, who
is claimed to be an equal world's wonder.
He is a son of the great Leamington,
aud his name is "Longfellow." One
who is familiar with all his good quali
ties and gives a long description of tbem
says : "It is my opinion that Longfellow
is the best race-horse in America, if not
in the world, and is the best foal in tbis
century." So it is seen that horse flesh
has by no means degenerated in tbe
United States, whatever, it may be just
now in Paris. Germantoicn Telegraph.

A Dreadful Condition of Affairs.

are to be regarded as valid, aud the left
handed spouses of the National Guards
are to receive the allowance which is
granted to the legitimate wives of these
wariors But a new difficulty bus arisen.
Left-hauded polygamy prevails to a great
extent among Ciluen Moltu's admirers
Is a lady who baa fire husbands entitled
to five rations, and is a lady wLo only
owns tbe oue-fifih of a National Guard to
have ouly one-fifth of a ration T These
are questions which the Citizen Moltu is
now attempting to solve. A tew days
ago Mdme. Hauielin was discovered dead
in bed, iu a garret of Belleville, of cold
aud starvation. Her husband had been
under Louis Phillippi, Ambassador at
Constantinople I went to see yesterday
what was going ou in tbe house of a
friend of mine in the Avenue de'l Impe
ratrice who has left Paris. The servant
who was in charge told me that up there
they had been unable to obtain bread for
three days, aud that tbe last time be had
presented his ration check he had been
given about half an inch of cheese.
"How do you live, theu 1 ' I asked.
After looking mysteriously round to see
that no one was watching ua, he took me
down into the cellar, and pointed to some
j meat in a barrel. "It is half a horse,"
i he said iu the tone of a man who is show
ing some oue tbe corpse of his murdered
victim. "A neighboring coachman kill
ed hitn, and we sul'.ed bim down and di
vided it " Then be opened a closet, in
which sat a huge cat. "I am fattening
her up for Christmas Day," he observed
ur adrtrtisfrntuts.
