lttMilnh Land.
I've reached thelnitd nf corn nnd wine,
And all It riches, fmly mine;

For all my night has pasticd iiway.
Cho. O Heulnli land, weet nculnh land ,
As on thy lilgliet mount I stand ;

Where mansions are prepared for me
And vli-w the ahlnlngglory shore,
My heav'n, my Aomv, forevermorel
My Saviour comes and walks with me,
And awect communion here have we; .
He gently leads me by His hand
For this Is heaven's border land.
A sweet perfume upon the bree
Is borne from ever vernal trees,
And flowers, that never Aiding grow
Where st renins of life forever flow.
The zephyrs seem to flnnt to me
Sweet soundsof heaven's melody,
As angels with the while-robed throng
Join In the sweet redemption noun.

of Drury's Jtun about one and a half
miles from Higgius' farm, on Wednes

Noble, accompanied by others from
this place, anil by James McConachy,
brother of the deceased, and also
by residents of the township, visited
the body, removed it from the stream
and held an inquest. James McCon
achy recognized the body of his long
lost brother John. He was positively
sure that the coat, shirt boots and truss
belt, found on the deceased, were woiu
by his brother when he left home
His head and face, which were lying
above the water, were beyond recog
nition. The remainder of his body
was submerged in water, nnd upon ex
amination, was found to be well pre
served the flesh being solid and hav
ing a natural appearance. It was the
opinion of the coroner's inquest that
the deceased ctime to bis deafli by
drowning. Xear the place where the
. body was found is u deep bole where
the water is probably eight or ten feet
deep, surrounded by a net work of logs
and brush. The supposition is thut
the deceased accideiitly fell into this
place at the time he was missing from
home, and remained there until the
high water washed his body to the
place where it was found. The body
was takeu in churge by James McCon

Hougiitailing, aged t'. years, 7 mouths
and 1 days.
A number of years ago Peter was

All kinds of garden seeds at Mor

noon, April 20, Harry, only son of
Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Leouharta bright,
intelligent boy of nearly eight years of
age, was seen playing back of their
residence, near the Conewango Creek,
on the wharf. His mother called to
him about one o'clock, when he was
nowhere to bo found. Search was at
once commenced along the creek and
mill-race, as he is thought to have
fallen into the water, bis hat being
found below thctlam by some children.
The creek, mill-race and river wore
dragged thoroughly as possible Satur
day afternoon and evening, and all
day Sunday und Monday, the cannon
being tired at different points Sunday
afternoon, and the tcaich is still kept
up litis (Tuesday) morning. The
water being deep and the creek and
race full of holes and rubbish, tend to
prevent the recovery of the body at
present. Our citizens have been un
tiling in the search, and the afflicted
family have the heartfelt sympathy of
the whole community.
Interviews have been held with
Mrs. Griffith, u clairvoyant of Titus
ville. nnd with Mrs. Rogers, a fortune
teller, living near Warren, who assort
that the boy fell from the boom at the
head of the mill-race, did not come to
the surface, and thut his body is still
in the race If this is true, the deep
water and sunken logs and slabs would
hide the boy from night Efforts will
be made to draw off the water as much
as possible, and the long search will be
continued. Warren Mail.

Andrew Tracy has passed another
sad and trying scene in the terrible
drama of which he is the principal ;
that of having received the sentence of
death.
At the convening of court, Thurs
day afternoon, the room was well
filled with those Whose curiosity led
them to witness this solemn ceremony.
The prisoner entered the room with
a firm step, but was very pale. He
wus accompanied by Sheriff Bart well.
To the usual question which is asked
on such occasions, Tracy replied,
"Before God, I have no feeling of
guilt. I am uncoiislmis of guilt. I
have been unfortunate." The attor
neys tor the defence having nothing
to say why sentence should not be
pronounced, His Honor, Judge Wll
llinns, proceeded In, substantially, the
following manner i " -
It now becomes the duty of the
Court to pronounce the sentence of the
law. The law Is In haste to shed no
man's blood. The crime you stand
convicted of Is murder. Of the homi
cide there was no dispute and the only
question- was the degree and thut was
found to be the first. Your victim
wus not your enemy, but your friend
who loves you purely. Her only
cuusc that she sought to restrain her
affection for you in obedience to the
dictates of her religion, the require
ments of her church and in honor to
her' parents There was much in your
story to excite our pity. Your dissa
pointmeiit at the inseparable obstacles
to your marriage were doubtless great,
but that could not justify your con
duct. Nor could we J ml sufficient in
the eyi donee to justify the belief that
your reason could be dethroned or
your accountability Impaired. But
the duly which the law impresses
must be discharged, no matter how
earnestly we may wish thut it had
fallen upon other shoulders than ours.
The sentence of the Court is: That
you, Andrew Tracy, convicted of the
crime of murder in (lie first degree, do
suffer death by hanging by the neck,
in accordance with the provisous of
the Act of 31st of March, 1800 and
may He whose preiogutive it is to for
give sins, have merry on you.
After the above sentence wus pro
nounced, Tracy sablI hope He may.
I have had but ll'tle mercy here.

One of the little army of nitro

were four cans of the terrible explosive,
containing 53 pounds, or about six

ened at the noise of an approaching
locomotive on the nan-ow gauge rail
road, dashed ahead at a tori lie rate.
The torpedoist lost control over the
animals, which finally overturned the

Glade Run Tannery, about 1J
mi lea above Warren, was destroyed by
lire lust Thursday afternoon, April, 24,
together with the ljiuphinery, leather
and hides. - The tluiuea were first dis
covered in a room over the boilers
about 2:20 o'clock, and soon spread
through the whole building, connect
ing with a new store building east
of the tannery, the Unnery office und
store buildings, and u large boarding
house, all of which were destroyed, ex
cepting the boarding-house.
The residence of Mr. Van Vechten,
across the road opjxisite (lie tannery
was destroyed, as were also his barn,
with most of their contents. Loss $3,-
000, insurance $1,200. The barn of
Mr. Ualdeusperger, west of the tannery
ou the hill, ulso caught and was soon
a total loss. When the fire was first
discovered, a man was sent to Warren
on horseback asking -the, services of
the fire department. The fire-bell was
rung, and was quickly answered by
the steamer, Niugru, Rowland and
Clark hose companies und a large
number of our citizens. The steamer
was put in place in Glade Run and
"the boys" soon had three streams
wettiug down the flames, saving part
of the boarding-house and a barn near
by, which stood between the tannery
aud immense piles of bark, and thus
preventing additional loss. The whole
fire department worked untiringly
and earnestly, saving all that was not
entirely consumed when they arrived,
and are deserving of great credit.
L. A. Robertson, of New York, owns
the tannery, it being in charge of Mr.
Sharpe, und was doing a large business,
We understand it will be rebuilt as
soon as possible. Mr. Sill, insurance
agent, informs us that there is insur
ance ou the buildings, machinery aud
stock burned in twenty-one companies
to the amount o $30,lu0, aud some on
the bark not burned. The loss is fur
in excess of insurance, but to what
amount we are utiable to learn.

The telegraph arVnounoes th'e 'death'
of Gen. John A. Dlx, in New York,
ou Tuesday of last week'. ' He was
born at Boscawen, New Hampshire,
on July 24, 1798. In 1812 he entered
the army of the United Slates as lieu
tenant of Infantry, and Was subse
quently transferred to the artillery
andbecame captain. In 1828 he re
signed his commission, studied law
and wus admitted to the bar. He en
tered actively into politicsns a member
of the Democratic party. In 184:2 he
was elected to the State Assembly,
aud In 1845 was made Senator in Con
gress for the unexpired term of Silas
Wright. In 1852 he was appointed
assistant Treasurer of the United
States at New York, and In 1859 post
master. In December, 1R60, Mr. Dlx
wus npjKjInted to serve In the" place of
Mr. Howell Cobb, President Buchtiu
nun's secretary. He served under the
administration of President Lincoln,
and took a decided ground in favor of
the Unlou and bus always been ranked
as one of the strongest adherents of
the Republican party. At the out
break of the civil warhewiisappolnted
Major General of the New York Na
tional Guard. On May 16, 18(51, he
was commissioned Major General of
the United States volunteers, and sub
sequently received the same rank in
the regular army and hud churge of
the department of Maryland in 1802,
from whence he was transferred to
Fortress Monroe, with the command
of the seventh army corps. During
the riots in New York he wus the mili
tary commandant of that department.
He was appointed minister to Paris in
1806. He was nominated by the Re
publicans of New York for Governor
of the State in 1872, und elected by
V',000 majority. He was re-nominated
in 1874 and defeated by Mr. Tildon.
This ended his politioul career. A cel
ebrated and energetic expression of
his, which obtained in the exciting
times of the war a great popularity,
wus, " Whoever attempts to pull down
the American flag shoot him ou the
spot." General Dix for some time
conducted the Northern Light, a liter
ary journal lublislied at Albany, and
was for many yours one of the regents
of the University of the Stute of New
York, a position which he resigned
in 1878. Bestdos occasional contribu
tions to publications und a translation
of the Dies Inv, he has published
" Resources of the City of New York,
1837;" "A Winter in'Maderia, 1837;"
"A Summer in Spain and Florence,
