To Our Weekly Subscribers.
The present number closes the pub*
lication of the Weekly Mercury and Man
ufacturer, in its present form. ; ,We shall
next week issue the first number of ARK
Saturday Mornisg Post —being a contin
uation of .the Mercury and Manufacturer,
which will be forwarded to all the patrons
of the latter paper. The change will be
to the advantage of our weekly readers, as
the new paper will contain at least one
third'more reading matter;.and its contents
will otherwise, be of a more entertaining
and valuable character. We think that
our efforts to gratify the reading public,
will be met, on their part, with increased
patronage. If every subscriber to our Rid
weekly will obtain and forward us another
subscriber to our new Mammoth Sheet, we
shall long remember their kindness. Read
er, will you not try? . :

books, and make a final settlement, so us to
enable us to proceed with our new enter
prise without the slightest embarrassment.
Our proprietorship of this paper has now
ran through the space of quite two years
and a half, and strange ‘as it may seem, a
very large number of our subscribers have
not paid us a farthing! This, no doubt,
has been'.the result of negligence, rather
thandisinclination or inability. We ear
; Destly call upon all those who know them
selves to be in arrears, to call as soon as
v -possible, and settle. . Those living at a dis
. tance, can remit by mail, at our risk. It is
impossible, for us to send out collectors, to
wait upon all those who may be in arrears
CiT We are anxious to adopt, hereafter,
the Cash System, as. Far as possible, in con,
ducting our business. To compete with
Eastern papers, this measure is absolutely

in the office ; and unless our are

Fourth street; for a very neat and intflreating vol

the earliest ages to the present time,” &c. In a
- Sketch of thej life of Hogarth, in this volume, we
; find a characteristic anecdote, which we have nev
es met with in print before. In the early part of
.'the career of that extraordinary genius, a Noble
man, tvho was very ugly, sat to him for hie por
trait. HUgarthdid him more justice than he wish
ed, in consequence of which, the picture was
never demanded. ; ; Some time elapsed before‘ the
artist asked for his. moneys but after many appli
cations made without success, he sent him the fol
lowing card: “ Mr. Hogarth’s dutiful respects to
L or a Q 1 : finding that he did not mean to have
the picture that was drawn for him, he is informed
again of Mr. H’s necessity for money; if there
fore his lordship does not send for it in three days
it Vrilt be disposed of, with the addition of a tail
ami some other little appendages, to Mr. Hare, the
famous wild beast man; Mr. H., having given
' that gentleman a conditional promise of it, for a®

'Thisinformation had the desired effect; the

than a remnant of the exploded feudal - system of

All such titles as Esq., Col, Maj., Gen., and so
forth, conferred upon mere adventurers and “squii ts”
without the't'perfoirmahce on their part, of any
meritorious act whatever, should go into disuse;
and let men’only be known by the plain unvar
nished names given them in infancy by their pa
rents. These are our sentiments; and we believe
the sentiment* of a great majority of the Ameri
can people ; but, we do not expect that they swill
be 'adopted immediately. The time will come,
however, when, such-things as titles of honor will
be unknown in the United States, and we fervent

A Bloody Tragedy la H»w York#
One of those shockingly atrocious scenes, which
occasionally disgrace humanity, was on Friday
exhibited in a'house on the corner of Henry, Grand
and Walnut streets, New York. The Sun, of that
city, says:— , _
It appears that a Frenchman named Francis
Geiger, living at Np. IIS Cedar .street, formely
lived with a beautiful French girl, as his mistress,
but quarried with her. She then left him; and has
lived for some time past with a German, named
Fre<lric;William Marks. A few days sin Marks
rand his mistress came to live in the second stoty
of the house in which yesterday's tragedy , took
place. ■ Marks wasa tailor and worked at his trade
in the house. F.arly yesterday morning Geiger
called and wished the girl to! go tvith him, but she
refused, and he left the place. At about 11 o clock
he rode up in one of the East Broadway stages and
entered the bouse. In a few minutes afterwards,
a desperate and deadly: struggle commenced be-
Ween Marksind :Geiger. ■ Marks is small, thick
set, dark cbmplexioned and homely; Geiger is large
muscular and handsome. Both were in the prime
oflife; one was armed with a short dirk, and the
other a dirk-knife, and both 'fought desperately.—
The woman screamed for assistance, and some
other persons living-in the house shouted tnunler.
A young man named Chase, who was passing by
at the time, opened the door, and on the stairs met
Marks covered with blood, one wrist cut nearly
off, the linaments of the other arm cut dreadfully,
and numerous deadly stabs on his body. Mr.
Chase’s first impulse was to push the bloody man
from him, least he himself should be supposed 10.
be concerned in ths affray, hut the next moment
he'eaught the wounded man in his arms. Marks
nevit spoke, but‘being laiddoWh,expired in a few
minutes.. On enteringtheToora, Mr. Chase found
Geiger in ode corner of it, stabbed in several places'
and id the'agonies of death, and Hbe woman in nn
other corner, with "a wound in her breast, and an
other under her left arm. Geiger was seen by per.
sonsin the back yard, m the act of stabbing her
‘Whether he was himself killed by the hands or
Marks, or whether he stabbed Marks and tirewo
man, and then himself, is unknown. The two
men died in a few minutes the woman was carried
to the Hospital, butttiere are-nb hopes of saving
her life. Capt.Tilley, of the,l3th ward, took.in-
I to custody several women belonging to the house,
but they were discharged by the order of the cor
oner.

.iteabenville, and on the opp; _ -tip.
river.:, From this point to the dividing ndge
separating. the waters flowing west ' &oni
those of Raccoon creek, there are fwe mam
routes—the one extending np Harman a
creek to said ridge, a little west of Burgetts
town, on . PrOudfit’s farm—the other np
Kings creek, with which we connect,': at
what is called the little cove, and’thence, to j
an extension of the same dividing ridge' a|-
Florence. . Here the head waters of King’s
creek are on one side, and those of the Brash
creek branch Of the Raccoon on the other.
Crossing at either of these summits brings us j
into the valley of Raccoon creek. In de
scending this valley, on our way east, we of
course have itwo routes, corresponding with i
the two on the western ride of the ridge.
Both of these; extend to the mouth of Little
Raccoon, the valley of which is common to
both—the one extending from the first men
tioned summit to a branch called Burgel s
branch; thence down.srid branch to the
main stream; and thence round to the month
of little Raccoon, aforesaid—the other from
the Florence' summit down Brush creek, a
little above injunction with the main stream.
Crossing the Raccoon here, we run up on fa-
Stdeßaccoon. These two routes irom the
mouth of Harman’s creek to this point, each
have theirpeouliar advantages and disadvan
tages. Both are practicaUe—the grades arc
almost the same—lengths very near the
same. The summit at Florence is a few
teet the lowest. Easy ,cnrveß can be made
more cheaply on King’s creek than on Har
man’s creek. The whole amount of aseent
and descent on the Hannan’s creek route is
something less than on, the other: but, upon
: the whole, :it will require careful examina
tion to decide betw * en them.
From the mouth ol Little Raccoon we as
cend, very directly, in the valley of this
stream to the dividing ridge, separating .it
&om that of Walker's branch of Robmsods
run, which flows into Chattier creek. This
summit is at Moreland’s farm, and is called
Moreland summit. From this point we run
down this branch of Robinson’s run, near
Noblestown, to Chattier creek; and thence
down this stream to its mouth, at the Ohio
river, 24 miles below Pittsburgh.

To go by Newark would make tlie dis

burgh to Cincinnati.
The straight or air line, between these two
places, computed by latitude? and longitudes,
is 256 miles—only 61 miles lesß than by
your route, with its various deflections. 1
question venr much whether any materially
Miorter feasiule route can be obtained:;
On the importance of this road Dr. Whippo
calls attention to several facts. Among them
is the following
That: almost the entire trade of the feed ii
strongly tending tmeards the north, with a Bos
ton and New York destination. Business
men in Ohio and in the ' east have bbsemd
this tendency—it is beginning to be felt, and
that very sensibly. There is a cause. lor this.
Let as examine a little to see Where if exists.
Let ns take a view of the public works now
in operation, and those in progress and con
templation, which constitute the machinery
by which this result has been brought about,
and to be perpetuated, and see now they
point, and their natural tendencies now, and
in prospect. With the help or these lights, 1
presume we shall have tio difficulty in dis
covering the cause to which ! allude. Cin
cinnatj, the great city of the west, has her
canals and railroads—these, with one excep
tion, perhaps, terminate at the lake. Indi
ana. with her public works, directly or indi
rectly ;is pointing measurably in the same
direction. The Wabash and Erie cUnal, for
instance, with its numerous tributaries,
stretching away over into the valley, of the
Wabash riyer, has the same terminus, Lake
I Erie, and brings in from that rich and wide
spread country a vast amount of business.
Michigan, too, has her railroads; these ex
tend across the State from east to west, and
connect Lake Erie with Lake Michigan; and
will, no doubt, ultimately stretch round the
head of the Lake to Chicago. There can
be nb doubt in regard to theif tendencies.—
ihfhen, here are all your railroads and canals
in Ohio, all have a northern terminus on the
Lake, and are yearly bearing away bom the
country -millions of dollars worth of freight,
destined for a New 'York market, The
Wellsville and Cleveland railroad, when
completed, 1 will join in the same general
movement. ’The canals of Western Penn
sylvania, and the Pennsylvania and Ohio
canal) arc contributing largely to the same
result.
One would imagine, in looking at this 1
great system of Internal Improvements, es
pecially when taken in connection with its
results, that there must have been in it a
deep-laid, secret design, that did not at first
itself^’And we should judge, by these skil
fully laid improvements, that this design was
to draw in all, or aa much as possible; of me
trade of Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio
and Western Pennsylvania, into this north
ern current, and thence east, for the Special
benefit of those two great eastern cities. It
wonid seem, also, that it was intended to
drag the trade even from the Ohio nver. and
thus to deprive the steamboats of their legit
imate business. Whether there has been
any design in the; matter or not, the fact is
equally certain and obvious, that the busi
ness of the weßtis strongly tenduig_towards
the; north, on its way east to Ne w York and
Boston. ' ' ,
All this has been accomplished while Phil
adelphia and Baltimore have, been, lying
comparatively idle, Neither of them, nave
as yet'got fatty into the Ohio valley. It is
trite they.’have been doing something;! bat,
in the meantime; New York apd ; Boston
have completed their works and have reach
ed forth their hands and seized the P n *®r"
Whether Philadelphia and Baltimore will be
f*~ * » <
distance, as I have shown above, is onhrs
miles, and only 61' miles longer than me .
line.' From Pittsburgh to Philadelphia ,w
349 miles. Thus the Whole distance fro>n
Cincinnati to, Philadelphia is 666 miles, pr
nearly;3oo less tbanfrom Cincinnati toNew
York. Can it be possible that the trade and
travel of the west will be allowed to take
thisoircuit? No one can suppose it. Philp*
delphia and Baltimore, then, I canhot doubt,
.Will give countenance and encouragement
to this undertaking. Cincinnati is also deep
ly interested in it, and Pittsburgh too, which
I think is susceptible of proof; and they can
not fail, I am persuaded, to. bid you God
speed, and do what they otherwise can to
aid you on. : , r ' i
