of Genoa, Cayuga couty, N. Y., found thui
a blind horse owued by him had fallen into
a dry well, a few days ago, and, alter 7ari.
nus unsuccessful attempts to extricate the
unfortunate beast, concluded to give it up
and bury him alive. Two or three men
commenced throwing io dirt, but as it fell
around his legs 'Charley' commenced tread
ing it down. The faster tbey shoveled, the
livelier he trod : and when they had filled
tho well, he stood upon the surface, uubur-
ied, and in good order considering his fall.
Judge Dale, of Tiouesta, recently re.
eeived a letter from Hon. A. O. Curtin,
$ted January 26th. He considers the
winter unusually mild for Russia but much
colder than the severest weather in Penn
sylvania. Among other things he says;
"Although the Emperor is a liberal man,
and has done more for his people thau any
of his predecessors, and is far iu advance
f public sentiment iu all his reform uieas
ures, this Government is far behind our
free system. To live hero is to realize the
blessings of our own Government, and to
value its wisdom and grandeur."

male children on the seventh day. Their
proper names are derived from Hebrew,
Gheez, and Amhario. The institution of
purification is. practiced; the children are

turned to Jerusalem, but theii ideas of the
Messiah are very indistinct.
They are wholly unacquainted with He

Robert op Another Bank. The
National Rank of New Canaan. Conn., was
robbed on ihe night of March 3, by three
New York burglars, who entered tho bank
about midnight, gagged and bound the
watchman, and went to work to drill into
the safe. They did not succeed io getting
in the blast till five o'clock next morning.
When they touched it off the charge was so
heavy that it not only blew open the safe
but nearly destroyed thu building, forcing
out windows, &o The thieves seemed to
be frightened by their own work, aud did
not wait to profit by it. A large amount of
money and securities wero exposed by the
explosion, but only $1,000 was carried
away.

EXECUTION Al HUXTIXGDOX.
Huntingdon, Pa, March 9. Bohner
and Bodenberg, the murderers of tho
Peigbtal family, suffered to day the dread
penalty of the law for their tearful erime.
At 12 o'clock Deputy Sheriff Force and
his assistants proceeded to the cell of the
prisoners and hound them. In the mean
time Sheriff Ncely ascended the scaffold
and asked that order be maintained by the
assembled thrcDa.
The prisoners made no resistance, but
submitted quietly, and were marched
down from their cells at 12 o'clock. First
came Bohner with Sheriff Neely, followed
by ministers; next came uouenberg with
other miuisters.
The prisoucis walked out boldly. They
were d res aed in Common citizens dress
tollowing were the members of the press
and the doctors.
The prisoners ascended the scaOole with
a urm tread. Alter taking position be
neath tho halters, prayer was offered by the
R?v. Mr. Svkca.
During this prayer, one of the platforms,
filled with people, weut down with a crash,
aud created much contusion, but the pns
oners were unmoved.
Alter the prayer, Bodenberg made a state
ment, deuying being guilty ot the crime
for which be was about to suffer. Bohner
turned to bim, when it was finished, and
denied l's truth.
After a few exchanges of words between
the men, Rev. James C.Clark delivered
most eloquent prayer in English, to which
the prisoners listened attentively.
At the conclusion or the prayer, ropes
were put around the men's necks, and the
ministers and officers bid them good-buy.
Bodenberg, in a clear, loud voice, then
committed his soul to God, and the black
caps were drawn over their heads. There
was a sensation in the crowd, and macy. of
the spectators turned away.
Jiohiier then commenced to say some'
thing iu German, during which the sheriff
gave the Signal, the prop was pulled down,
and the men hung at exaoMy twenty min
utes of one.
They were so secured and tied, hand and
foot, that no motion was perceptible io
either. It is supposed their necks were
broken tustautly.
Both of the men were almost friendless
and for a time it was unsettled what din
position should be made of their remains
Bodenberg, it is understood, had requested
of 'tis sweetheart that she should take pos
session of his remains, should she preset)
herself. ;ohner s remains will be given
to the physioiSQs, and devoted to the de
rfilnrmieut of medical science.
I. may be safely estimated that nearly
ten thousand people were in town to-day.
The hotels and restaurants reaped a rich
harvest. It was not untill after the bodies
bad been taken down, that all foe great
concourse of people left the" neighborhood
of the prison.
Thia execution was perhaps fhe most
public exhibition tbat has been made io
this State for many jears. It may bu ncc-
es.si.ry to bang people for . committing
the crime of murdering a fellow be
ing, but it certainly does not follow
that the execution should be made a com.
mon ''show," whereat greedy speculators
make the misfortunes of their fellow men a
source of profit. To have some idea of this-4
execution, imagine a half acre of ground,
surrounded with a high wall, with hastily
construct scffoldine extenbinir alonw ah
side, at a height sufficient to give a view of
an tnat goes on within, and you will have
the scene at Huntingdon to day. i.
AN EXCEXTK1U GIVER.
The following, concerning a gentleman
who has deposited with our State Treasurer
an amount of $100 to pay for an annual
dinner to the State prison convicts, will be
read with interest :
"II. C. Dorsey, the Rhode Islander who
has given to his own and other States funds,
the annual income of which should be ex
pended in roost turkey once a year for the
inmates of the penitentiaries, is thus des
cribed : Ho is a painter by trade, and con
ducts an extensive and lucrative business.
He keeps do books, but does everything
strictly upon the cash principle. Ue
makes no return of income to the internal
revenue department. The followinar scene
is said to have occurred : Enter United
States assessor. "Mr. Dorsey, what was
your income last year ?" 'Can't say keep
no accounts ; you see by that card my terms
are cash, and I live up to them never put
down one cent with a pen." "Can you not
give me some idea of your receipts ?" Not
te slightest have made a bargain with
Almighty that I will never be richer, aud
I carry out the contract to the letter ; am
giving away all along through tho year, and
at the end of the year have from' 82,000 to
$3,000 left to spend in giving persona
roast turkeys ; put on what you please by
way of tax, and if you should afterward
become dissatisfied come again and take
another crack.' I ventured to ask on what
income he was assessed. 'Oh,' he replied
on some 84,000 oi 85,000.'
"lis informed mc that he comprised a
society by himself, ol which he was prses
ideut, treasurer, secretary aud board of di
rectors, and that while the poor ot his own
town were his chief care, ho had beneficia
ries in many different States. He said that
he was formerly much annoyed by applica
tions for loans by persons in want, many of
whom he accommodated, but rarely got any
returns. He has, therefore, posted this
notice over the door of his shop, which is
more forcible than .elegant, aud is certainly
from all tincture of Purituuism :
"SIGN PAIS TIG.
SI3P !
No admittance here except on business ;
No more 'money lent !'
I dont mind giving to the needy ; d n
the lending !" '
"Mr. Dorsey apologized fur Ihe rough
ness ot this notice by saying that it was not
meant for profanity, but only for empha
sis, and recalled that our Saviour's words
addressed the Scribes and Pharisees : 'Ye
serpants, yo generation of vipers ! how can
ye escape the damnation of hell?' Last
year Mr. Dorsey offered to the head of a
certain prisou 8200 on condition that he
would give his prisoners a rost turkey din
ner; the sum was accepted on that condi
tion. He afterwards learned that tlie biida
were boiled instead of roasted; and be sued
for a recovery of the 8200, on the ground
of a breach of contract. In relating the
circumstance, he remarked : 'If the old
gentleman, on the return of his prodical
son, bad sa;d, boys, now kill the fatted
calf, and roast it for the f'tist of welcojpe,
how would be felt if, on going into the
kitchen, he had found them boiling the
calf?' lie bad hiniseU been iu circumstan
ces to know what exquisite pleasure a roast
dinnr afforded to one who had long been
living on sodden food, and he then and
there resolved that if he ever had the means
he would provide a roast onco a year, at
least, for a class of men who seldom get
anything but boiled lood." Hartford

be pleased to learn that the reward offered
by the government for the capture of Jeff
Davis is about to be made The Detroit
Tribune of Tuesday last, says : "The per
sistent efforts of an Ohio company and a
Wisconsin regiment to obtain a share has
caused the delay, aud has also reduced tho
amonut rightly due to the privates of our
Michigan 4th Cavalry from $600 each to
$293. This latter sum is now ready for

made out and proved, and lodged in the
hands of 2nd Auditor of the Treasury for
the payment." Two of the members of the

STARTLING STATISTICS.
Some statistician has been figuring on
the cost of an "occasional drink," and the
result is positively astonishing. In answer
to the question : "How are so many drink
ing houses sustained f" he shows that 20
men at 80 cents a day will pay one of the
tippling shops $2,190 a year. A man who
pays 3 eentsa day for"drinks," pays $109.
60 a year. This is the intrest on $1,564
at 7 per cent, at simple interest. This sum,
80 jent a day, amounts in ten years to $1,
17IT95. All this is wasted, paid out for
" an enemy that steals away a man's1 brains"
ani robs him and bis family of every com
fort. Intoxicating liquors gave neither
strength to the body, vigor to the mind,
resolution to the will, elevation to morals,
nor dignity to character. Strong drink
drags a man down from his high estate de
prives all his appetites, and leaves him in
want and misery, the mere wreck and sem
blance of a man.
The constant use of intoxicating liquors
makes hard times for many a man ; thus, a
family of five persons will consume four
barrels of flour a year, or oue thousand and
fifty-six pounds of bread. This is nearly
three pounds a day. Good flour can be
bought now for $7 a barrel ; four times
seven makes 28 ; and thirty cents a day for
drinks is $109.50, or 881.50 more peryear
than the bread for a family of five persons
costs. "But,' 6ays A, "I only take two
drinks a day." Very well, you pay then for
your drinks $73 a year; only $45 more than
you pay for tho bread consumed by your
whole family, if it contains five persons.
This sum would provide tea and coffee for
them.
Here, then, we sec that the man wbo pays
even twenty cents a day for liquor, spends
a sum sufficient to supply his family with
bread, tea, and coffee for the year. Is it
strange that times aie hard, that men com
plain of tho government, and charge that it
oppresses them with onerous taxes? The
above figures show how men tax themselves,
and how they tax the property too.
