A PO'EN JoutoraL attributes the following words
to the Emperor of Russia' in speaking of General
Dioursaistt: "I had at tirst sent to \Vilna a man

°bilged to choose one that I detest." •
Olvis of the principal inhabitants of Odessa, a gee-'
tlernan named Meschaltoil; has just been murdered
in a mysterious manner. A. relation having observ
ed that the outside door of his house had not been
opened for some days, gave notice to the police. The
house on being visited was found to haVe been com
pletely stripped of every article of furniture; and on.
searching the cellar the master WAD found burled A
few inches beneath the , surface, and with hie skull
fractured. The porter, who alone inhabited the
house with the proprietor, appears to have been
missing three days before the discovery of the
crime.'
A DISTURnAicaR has just taken/place at Muninh,
among some Egyptian young men, placed there by
the Viceroy, for the purpose of studying medicine.
These students were placed under an Egyptian phy
sician named Lotner-Bey, but he treated them with
such severity that they at' length openly revolted
against him. The movement ultimately acquired
such a eel ious character that the Bavarian Govern
ment, in its own interest, as well as to that of the
Govarnrnmt or Eavrt, has thought tit to suspend
Leiner-Bey, and has sent information of the pro
ceedings to Alexandria.

A NEW 'LAW has just been enacted in England
for the punishment of garotters. If a male, whose
age does not exceed sixteen, strokes by a birch rod
to twenty-five clan be inflicted, and if above that
age, to fifty on each occasion, and the interval is to
be specified as well as :the number. Flogging is to
take place within six months after sentence, and in
cases of penal servitude, before removal to a convict
prison to undergo the aentence.
Own ON THE CELLS of the police station of South '
Shields, England, is occupied by an unfortunate
but desperate young sailor, who alleges that his
Satanic majesty accompanies him in person
wherever he goes. He says that he had to desert
from a Prussian vessel named the Humboldt, be
cause the devil was on board, and kept him in
continual terror. When the prisoner was taken
into custody, the officer in whose charge he was
thought it best to put him into a cell occupied by
another prisoner ; but no sooner had he - teen who
was intended by the generous officer to be his-com
panion in solitude than be shouted, at the top of his
voice, "The devil !" and springing past the consta
ble, hurried toward the open street. He was then
confined in a cell by himself, but he had dot been
long there before he had done considerable damage
to the seat and broken the panes of- glass in the cell
window. He was next removed to another cell, and
notwithstanding his being put in chains he has done
great damage to it also. He also beats his own body
in a frightful manner, and has torn all his clothes to
rags, with the exception of his drawers and aflannel
shirt. He is a Dane, and is possessed of remarkable
physical strength, as is evidenced by his tearing up
the boards of his seat or bed with his hands, which
are handcuffed behind hie back.
THE MARRIAGES of the princesses, on whose ex
penses, as the " Hattis Hunsayoun " of 1863 stated,
no saving could be effected, deserves special notice.
If one of the Sultan's daughters has attained the
age at which Turkish girls are generally married, the
father seeks a husband for her among the nobles of
his court. If a young man specially pleases her, he
is given the rank of lieutenant general; nothing
lower being ever selected. The chosen man receives
in addition a magnificent, fully furnished palace and
sixty thousand plasters a month pocket money ; and
in addition, his father-in-law defrays all the house
keeping expenses. The bridegroom is not always
over and above pleased at being selected. If he be
married he is obliged to get a divorce ; he must never
have a wife or mistress in addition to the princess ;
and, moreover, he is regarded as the servant rather
than the husband of his wife. The Sultan himself
announces to him his impending good fortune, and
it is his bounden duty to bow reverentially, kiss the
Sultan's feet, and stammer a few words about the
high honor, the unexpected happiness, &-c. He then
proceeds with the chamberlain, who wears the im
perial bat, to the sublime Porte. A military band
precedes him, and soldiers are drawn up along the
road, who present arms. At the head of the stair
case the bridegroom is received by the grand vizier,
conducted by him intq a room where all the minis
ters are assembled, and the hatt is read aloud. This
ceremony corresponds to the betrothal.
ENCOUNTER WITH A. TIGER.—A correspondent of
the Times, of India, writes as follows:
"It appears that Captain Curtis, 6th Dragoons,
Captain Bradford, Sillidar Cavalry, and another
gentleman, were out on a shooting excursion in the
vicinity of Sehore, where they fell in with a tiger,
which had previously been wounded by some other
sportsmen, and was in a state -of furious madness.
Captain Bradford raised his gun, but it unfortunate
ly would not go off At the same moment the brute
caught sight of the party, and giving a hideous roar,
charged down upon them with the utmost ferocity,
singling out Captain Bradford, who was in the act
of scrambling up a tree ; the tiger made a dash at
bin) with- a tremendous bound, and caught and
dragged him to the ground. Poor Bradford having
raised his hand to protect his head, the brute seized
his arm, crunching it between his terrible jaws as if
it had been so much rotten wood, breaking and splin
tering the bone, and lacerating the flesh in a fright
ful manner. Meantime his companions were not
idle ; but as they were afraid of hitting their friend
if they fired at any distance, advanced boldly up to
the brute and poured shot after shot into him, till at
last be was rolled over by the eleventh bullet. Fe
rocious to the last, the brute never relinquished his
bold, and fell dead in the act of aiming a blow with
his enormous paw at the head of his victim. Poor
Captain Bradford was carried into Sehore in a pitia
ble condition, mauled all over, and it was found ne
cessary to amputate his arm at the shoulder joint.
By last accounts he was in a very precarious state.
The tiger was of monstrous size, and said to be the
largest ever seen in these parts."

FEDERALS AND CoNEEDERATEs.—During the re
cent American debate in the House of Commons
everybody almost was present to hear the debate—
that is to say, everybody who could, by entreaty or
by guile, manage to secure a place. Mr. Mason, of
course, was present, with many of his friends ; and,
on the other side, was Mr. Henry Ward Beecher,
with several of his party. Indeed, so many Ameri- •
cane came down to the House, and so fierce was the
excitement, that it was adjudged to be more pru
dent to separate the hostile camps. The "Con
federates." accordingly, sat under the gallery, on
the ministerial side, and the "Federale opposite to
them, on the other.
OlfHOßSE•RAClNG.—Considering that the young
'Prince of Wales "graciously"-lends his "patron
age" to this amusement in England, the Dean of
Carlisle handled the subject rather boldly in a aer
ation lately preached at Carlisle. The Court Journal,
of course, thinks the following rather immoderate
and uncalled-for language "He would lift up his
voice with earnestness, with affection and solemnity,
warning all his brethren against - the necessary,
inevitable profligacy mad abandonment of the
races. He cared not who supported racing, or advo
cated it ; he knew it to be, from the crown of its
head to the sole of its foot, nothing but immoral
rottt nuns based upon gambling, encouraging drunk•
enness, lewdness, abandonment, profaneness, swear
ing, and cursing. There was no single vice they
could mention on the face of the earth that does not
- grow on the race-course as in. a swamp of wicked
ness, nurturing everything evil. He did not say
that every one who goes there is naturally. wicked,
but he said that every man, woman, or maiden who
lends the smallest help to the practices of the Eng
lish ract-course, lends interest and support, whether
knowingly or unknowingly, to a flood of ungodliness
which desolates the land ; and therefore he warned
parents against allowing their children to go there.
Be believed if the city were polled, there would be a
vast majority of persons who would be glad to see
this nuisance swept away."
Barrow Linrocs.--It is erroneously believed that
Justus Liebig, the great German agricultural che
mist, whose "Natural Laws of Husbandry" has
just been republished by the Appleton., Is still pro
lessor in the University of. Giessen. The leading
incidents of his life are not without interest. He is
sixty years old, having been born at Darmstadt,
May '0,1803. He became familiar with chemical
mantpulation in the laboratory of his father, who
was a wholesale druggist and drysalter. At the age
of fifteen, in order that he might acquire a scientific
knowledge of chemistry, he was apprenticed to an
apothecary, but removed. in the following year to
the University of Bonn, and subsequently studied
theoretical chemistry at Erlangen, under Professor
Mastner. Here he discovered what is now known as
fulminating acid, the composition of which he
publicly communicated to the Royal Academy of
Sciences at Paris, in July, 1823. The liberality of
• the Grand Duke of Hesse- 'Darmstadt had sent him,
in the preceding year, to study in Paris,. where
Alexander von Humboldt made his acquaintance,
and, no doubt, helped him on, for Liebig was ap
pointed professor extraordinary of chemistry in the
'University of Giessen before he was twenty-ones
And full professor two years after.
In this chair, during a period of twenty-six years,
Ile developed the resources of his art and of his
Mind. Freely aided by the liberality of the Govern
anent of liene-Darmstadt, he founded a laboratory
of instruction in practical chemistry. His plan of
teaching is that now followed by all chemists, and
ere he had reached the age of forty, Liebig had made
chemistry so practically useful and popular that it
became a part of the elementary studies of every
profession and of every liberal education. About
twenty.thieeeais ago, his application of chemistry
to agricultuer became known and practised in Eng
land, chiefly. -under the auspices of the late Sir
Robert Peel,,and Dr. Buckland the geologist. He
Was greatly lionized on nis visit to England in
1842. The Univeisity of Gottingen made him hono

sovereign) made him a baron, After the death of
Leopold Gmelin, the University of Heidelberg
called him to fill its chair of chemistry, but he de
clined. Finally, in 1862, he accepted a call from
Munich to become professor of chemistry to the
University and Conservatory of the CheMical Labo
ratory of the Royal Academy 'of sEtaVaria,and is
now president of this academy of science. He has
written largely and experimented much ; but it is
as the founder of agricultural chemistry thatßaron
Justus Liebig will be regarded eminent by pos

tions, and is transacting business as before the rebel
invasion. This excellent institution has suffered no
pecuniary loss, beyond the inconvenience occasioned
by the hasty removal of its valuables to a place of
safety, and the delay of business incident to its doors
being closed for the time being.
THE Christian Commission and Sanitary Com
mission are still engaged in the noble work of
bringing comfort to the wounded soldiers at Gettys
burg.' Boxes of valuable articles are still pouring in
for them from the cities and country, and they are
liberally dispensed. We can bear testimony to the
self denying laborer of the members of the Christian
Commission, who have been for many days and
nights attending to the wants and ministering to
the comforts of the soldier. Some of them are
nearly worn down in the noble service, but their
spirits never, flag in the good cause, and they are
richly earning the undying gratitude of the Buffering.
A GENERAL HOSPITAL has been established on
the elevated grounds east of the town of Gettys•
burg, and the wounded are being removed there as
rapidly as possible from the different town and
country hospitals. It is very large and conveni
ently laid out, and will be more airy and comforta
ble than the others have been. The wounded are
alto being removed by hundreds daily for hospitals
abroad.
TWENTY-ONE dead bodies, in a single car, arrived
at Harrisburg in one day, from the battle-field of
Gettysburg, directed to their destinations in the

bodies have been recognized and recovered by their
friends.

TOUCHING INCIDENT OF THE BATTLE-FIELD.—
One day last week, among the relics of the dreadful
fight, there was picked up by a soldier; and presented
to a lady of our acquaintance, a small paper, which
contained two separatelocks of hair attached thereto,
directed to Mr. Wellerford, from Louisiana, by
his wife, in a beautiful hand-writing. Below one
lock was Fanny Wellerford, below the other Richard
Wellerford—and below both " Our darlings!" These
tender mementoes of hie home and children
had been sent on to him by his attached wife, to
cheer his heart in the far-distant land to which the
fortun tl f g e d i e h air gbkr
.r- trnnal tr,ae
the ~.rune
missile of death separated him from those
he loved in his far-off Southern home. Strangers
now possess the tender relic, and he rests beneath
the clods of a Northern valley, his grave probably
unmarked and undistinguished from hundreds
around him, who met their death on the bloody
fields of Gettysburg ; and his wife and children look
in vain for the return of the loved husband and
father !
THE 174 Te PENNSYLVANIA..—On Sunday morning,
about 8 o'clock, the 174th Regiment Pennsylvania
drafted militia (Colonel John Nice) reached Phila
delphia. They have been serving in the Department
of the South for the last nine months, and came
North from Port Royal, S. 0., in the steamer Belvi
dere. The regiment, not being furnished with trans
portation, was compelled to lie over in Philadelphia
on Sunday and Monday. The 174th is composed of
drafted men from the interior of the State, and num
bers about four hundred and fifty men. They were
expected to leave Philadelphia for Camp Curtin yes
terday.
THE VOLUNTEER ENGINEER REGIMENT.—The
camp of instruction for the regiment of volunteer
engineers, now being- raised in this State, is to be
formed in a few days, and some of the regimental
officers made an examination, on Saturday, of the
grounds, a few miles west and south of Market
street bridge, Philadelphia, with the view of select
ing a site. Healthfulness, and a stream sufficiently
wide for exercise, in the construction of military
bridges, were stated to be the chief requisites, inas
much as the sixty.four artificers in each company
are to be so instructed that they may direct the
working parties of infantry soldiers in engineering
operations. Artificers, when mustered in, receive
the pay of sergeants of infantry, and in the camp of
instruction they will be prepared to fill the position
of non.commiasioned officers.

SUDDEN DEATH.—A deaf and dumb young man
named Kelly, from Philadelphia, who had been stop
ping at the Schmucker House, Reading, was found
dead in his bed on Tuesday mbrning. It Is supposed
that he ruptured a blood vessel, as the floor was
covered with blood. He was taken to Philadelphia.
EX-PRESIDENT BuenaxArs left Lancaster on
Thursday last, in company with several personal

watering place during , the month of August." If
Mr. Buchanan had started a few weeks sooner - he
would have been able to counsel with his older and
better friends, the Democrats under the command of
General Le e.—Harrisburg Telegraph.
NORTHERN CENTRAL RAILWAY.—The directors
of this company have made arrangements to rebuild
in the most permanent manner, the bridges destroy
ed by the rebels in the recent invasion. Those over
the Codorus, near Louck's mill, the Gut and the
Conewago are to be of wood of the Howe Truss
patent—those over the Codorus, between York and
Brillhart's station,are to be of cut stone and arched.
The two last will cost about $26,000 each. The
whole loss to the company in repairing the recent
damage and rebuilding the bridges, will probably
amount to $150,000. All the trains are now running
on regular time, and the road is doing an immense
business. The temporary bridges have been
thoroughly tested, and are considered entirely safe.
Arrangements have also been made to rebuild the
bridges destroyed on the Wrightsville road, and
operations will commence in the course of a week or
ten days.
We learn that since the fight at Gettysburg, there
have been over one thousand wounded soldiers trans
ported to the Military Hospital at York.
THE HARVEST AND CROES.-011r farmers have se
cured their rye and wheat crops and are now engag
ed on their oats. The wheat and rye suffhred but
little from the continued wet weather, and the crops
are fair ones. The oats crop is also a good one, and
'the corn and potato crops bid fair to be abundant.
Truly, the husbandman should feel thankful to a
kind Providence for these many blessings, in the
midst-of-the great calamities which now afflict our
once happy and prosperous country.
Remunrr of THE 166TH, PENNSYLVANIA HEGI•
shorr.—This regiment of drafted men from York
county returned home on Saturday evening last,
having been mustered out of the service and paid
off. They, during their term of nine months, have
performed efficient service, and seemed delighted-
once more to return to their homes and families
after so long an absence, which was full of all aorta
of privations and dangers. York county has cer
tainly no cause - to blush for her sons In this regi
ment, as they have acquitted themselves nobly.
A WORD TO FAnarmas.—We do not know that
what we are going to say will be considered as
having anything of originality about it, but we
nevertheless shall say what has frequently appeared
important in a pecuniary point of view, to the far
mer as well as to the interest of agriculture and.the
country at large. We refer to the importance of
'every farmer raising every calf he gets, and for the
next year the butcher block should not be disgraced
with such a thing as veal. Veal, at best, is rather
doubtful kind of provender for civilized people to
eat. But just now, whena large part of our cattle
raising portion of the Union is not rearing a single
steer, our farmers cannot fail to see where their in
terest lies, and that is in raising.every calf they get.
We do not deem it necessary to go into any lengthy
argument to prove what we havermerely noticed.
The same remarks will apply with equal force to the
breeding of colts. . Think of these things, farmers.

RUSSIAN WHEAT.—Michael Snyder, of Mont
gomery county, left at our office a sample of some
very fine wheat, known by the name of Russian
wheat. The berry is very large and plump, and is
said to make whiter and better flour than any Fa.
riety of wheat grown in these parts. -He recom
mends it as being stiffer in the straw than the ordi
nary-kinds, and therefore not liable to lodge; and
as also not subject to the ravages of the Hessian
or to mildew, t imrtant recommendations.
We did not inquire wo , but suppose this variety, by its
name, originated in the domain of the Czar of Rus
sie, in the son.hern part of whose empire is situated
a famotts wheat-raising country, from which source
large quantities are shipped to supply the needs of
Mr , gland, France, and other densely populated
count] ies of Western Europe. Odense, on the Black
Sea, is, a great shipping port for wheat.—Doyieslown
POISONING CASK IN LOWER MERION.-011 Sun
day, the 12th of July, Ann Tillman, a colored girl,
aged about twenty one years, residing in the family
of Wm. P. Hagey, was arrested on the charge of
attempting to poison the family. She had been,
living in the family about one month. The attempt
to poison was made by mixing some phosphorus
which had been used for poisoning rata. among po
tatoes. Several of the family, and - especially cyou
of the daughters, were quite sick, but all fortunately
escaped by the timely aid of medical attendance.
She had a hearing before A. E. McKeever, Esq.,
where she made ctinfession of the attempt to com

the yield generally will be much better than solid
pated. Barley and rye were slightly injured, corn
looks well, and wheat and oats excellent in quality.
In Mower county the wheat harvest has already
commenced, and the yield turns out well. In Wash
ington county, the crops have - suffered from the
drought, but the wheat crop, in particular, will not
be an average crop. In Hennepin county the wheat
looks bad, but in Carver and McCloud counties
there will be a fair crop. •In Scott county the wheat
has suffered from the drought, and the yield, on the
average, will be about half a crop. On Olmstead
county, wheat will yield about two•thirds of an ave
rage, crop.—St. Paul Press.
THE NEW CEOP AT THE WEST.—The Peoria (Illi
nois) Transcript of the 29th ultimo says " The new
crop of grain is beginning to come in, though not
very freely as yet. A load of new white wheat yes
terday brought $1.05. Two loads of oats sold for 57
and 6734 cents. The range of prices in all grades,
however, is large ; good feed corn, for instance, sell.
ing yesterday all the way from 36 to 45 cents."
Rar. : —The hay crop in New Hampshire has been
greatly damaged by the recent rains. In Maine,
hardly one.fourth of the crop has been secured, ow
ing to repeated storms.
GENERAL NEWS.
ThITORTATION OF Mmes .—A cargo of one hun
dred and sixty-five m ules, from Montevideo (the first
ever imported into this country from that port),
reached New York on Monday, in the ship Leoni
das, During a passage of fifty-seven days but six of

such havoc among horses, and so raised their price,
that it has become absolutely necessary to get a
cheaper supply of mules to perform the necessary
labors of the country.
CONDEMNlM.—Suspension bridges have recently
been condemned entirely by the French Commission
of Roads and Bridges, and orders have been issued
for the removal of the only one now remaining over
the Seine, at Paris. It is to be replaced by a bridge
of solid masonry, which is now in course of conslruc
tion.

several thousand volumes, some of which are ex
ceedingly rare' and valuable, has been transferred,'

Dutch Reformed Church, for the use of the Theolo
gical Seminary.

Council of Cambridge (Mass.), has passed a resolu
tion that noTersonshall be employed by the city

MEDICAL.
A Y ER' S COMPOUND EXTRACT
SARSAPARILLA.—No one remedy is more needed
In this con.ntry than a reliable Alterative, but the sick
have been so outrageously cheated by the worthlesspre
parations of Sarsaparilla abroad that they are disgusted
even with the name. Yet the drug cannot be blamed for
the impositions from which they have suffer. d. Most of
the so-called Sarsaparillas in the market contain little
of the virtues of Sarsaparilla or anything else. They
are mere slops—inert and worthless, while a concen•
trated extract of the active variety of Sarsaparilla com
pounded with Dock, Stillingia, lodine, etc., is. as it ever
will be, a powerful alterative and an effectual remedY.
Such is Ayer's Extract of Sarsaparilla, as its truly won
derful cures of the great variety of complaints which re
quire an alterative medicine have abundantly .shown.
Do not, therefore, discard this invaluable medicine, be
cause you have been imposed upon by something pre
tending to be Sarsaparilla, while it was not. When you
have used Ayer's—then, and nottill then, will you know
the virtues of Sarsaparllla. For minute particulars of
the diseases it cures, we refer you to Ayer's American
Almanac, which the agent below named will furnish
gratis to all who call for it.

PZNISTAN'S VAULTS.
AT 439 CHESTNUT STREET.
TO MY PATRONS, FRIENDS, AND THE PUBLIC
- GENERALLY.
On SATURDAY, August Ist. I open my new establish
ment, the spacious Store and Vaults of No. 439 CEIRST
NUT Street, for your_approval and approbation, where I
trust! shall merit a continuance of the liberal patronage
I have hitherto always received from your hands.
In view of a misunderstanding that I am told exists in
the minds of many in regard to the sudden termination
of my business on the S E. corner of Third' and Chest
nut streets it is hoped the following brief facts will ex
plain; On the night of June 23d, during my absence from
the city, I was forcibly dispossessed by my reputed land
lord, and my stock placed in the streets. As f. was justly
in possession, I have sought redress :for the outrage in
the law courts of Philadelphia.
Respectfully yours.
