Eetween the hours of ten and eleven o'cl jck Wednesday night, tbe 5th inst., tbe fidence of John Hay, near Bakersville, was entered by burglars, who carried off a nice liaie sum of hard cash. An entrance was eftcted through a window, and none of the family were disturbed by the thieves. Tbe same night a horse belonging to Mr. Abnra Miller, who Uvea io the tame neigh borhood, was stolen from its owner's barn, and hitched to tbe buggy of Wot.

The case of the Nicely brothers hat gained great notoriety throughout the country, both on account of tbe brutal murder of which thy stand convicted, and of the stubborn fight that has bees made in their behalf. While their conduct subsequent to the trial, their repeated efforts to escaf, nd the des perate assault made on the deputy sheriff, has kept it fresh in the memory of the pub- lie. From the first day (si most two years ago) that Joseph ai d David Xicely were lodged in the Somerset county jail, charged with the robbery and murder of farmer Herman Urn berger, to this, nothing that legd talent could do has been left undone to save their necks from the hangman's noose. Not only have their counsel exhausted every meant at their command, bat they have had the as sistance of after-discovered evidence of a most startling nature, had it been believed by tbe learned gentlemen wbo compose the Pardon Board. It it alleged that one poor wretch even went to far as to confess that be had participated in the murder, and it was on this cor.fession that argument for a re hearing waa principally confined last Thurs day. The prisoners were represented by lawyers Co ff roth and Koontx, and Lyman D.Gilbert, one of the most famous lawyers of the State, andS. J. M-Carrell, a prominent attorney at the Daupbin county bar. The interests of the Commonwealth were looked after by F.J. Kooser, Eq. Argument in behalf of the prisoners was patiently listened to from early in the morning until evening. General Coffroth spoke f jr three boars, ri j review ed a great deal of the original hxjuuiooy elicited 00 the trial of the case, aad dwelt at length oa the alleged coufcjssioo of one John Beach. Tbe confession of Beach, published in these columns in full at the time, ia alleged to have been sworn to before E -qui re Elijah King, of Upper Turkey tut township, one quiet Sunday evening, by a mysterious stran ger, who came to hit boose and left again, without having been seen by any of tbe members of Mr. King's family or neighbors. to tar as is known.) Gen, Coffroth was followed by Mr. Gilbert, who mail an eloquent plea for the con demned men. and said be could not tee bow the Board of Pardons could take upon them selves the responsibility of refusing to grant tbe petition for a rehearing, is the face of this confession. Hit plea for the ged mother of the pris oners, wbo, with ber husband, waa present throughout the bearing, was ver? touching. He referred to Mrs. Xicely as "an tged moth er whitening for the grave." Mr. McCarreil reviewed tbe evidence and the new testimony. laying particular ttrese upon the alleged cociesaion. Mr. Kooser, an behalf of the people, argued that tbe arguments of coanseJ for the de fendants were weak. He took up the alleg ed contession of Beach, who stated that he left for the east from Gay lord, Kan., with four other men. When they arrived at Kan tat City be waa imprisoned for 90 dayt tor stealing a boat: be remained in Kansas City until the next June ; went to St. Louis where be resided until the next summer ; then left for Cincinnati, where he remained for six months ; started for Pittsburg, boarded a freight train for Greensburg, but tbe train d d not stop until it arrived at Johnstown, where be alighted. After be was there four or five months, be became acquainted with a man named Miller. Some lime after, be and Miller went to Michigan ; from there tbey went to Wheeling, W. Va. ; thence to Cumberland , thence through the country to Johnstown. While 00 the way they met a chum of Miller's and tbey held a counsul- ; tation as to bow tbey could raise tome mon- ey. Thay naa in view several larmers. ana about a year after tbey resolved to kill Cm berger. In company with Miller, bis chum, and several others, tbey went to tbe bouse. Beach and Miller entered tbe house and Mil ler shot three or four times with his revol ver. They secured the money and Beach started for the west, and Miller went on to Cumberland. He heard from Miller by letter, who told him that the Xicely boys were in jaiL In one of the letters Miller said he was going back lo Johnstown to rent a billiard halL A weed after Beach beard of the Johnstown flood and being anxious about Miller, started for that ill tared city in search of him. While approaching Johns town he saw Mrs. Xicely, the mother of the condemned men, and her torrofui tsoe haunted him to tuch an extent at to lead him to make tbe eon fission. He wrote the confession, tbe spelling aud punctuation of which it very pour, appeared before a Justice of the Peace 00 a Sunday evening about dark and made affidavit that it was true. One of the reasons which made tbe above supposed con Session teem improbable, argu ed Mr. Kooser, it the tact that Jobs Beach has not been seen by any any one tince lT9, and never was teen or heard of in Somerset county except by "Squire Elijah King. Although in bit statement he tayt that he changed hit name and bad been going under an assumed name ever since hit im prisonment in Kansas City, yet if he had been in that locality referred to with Mil ler, be would not have beeo to changed in appearance as not to have been known by tome of hit old acqiiainUnces, no matter what Dame he waa known by. Another bet which seems rather remarkable it that while be gives an accoaat of himself at dif ferent periods for tbe first four or five years after the Call of 1 376, no definite time at any ooe place is mentioned, and from tbe day that he met Miller and started through the west and arrived in Somerset county again up until tbe night of February. 27, when the murder was committed, covers ft peroid of are or tig years, whereas hit state ment leaves the impression that hit travels were of the hop, tkip and jump character. From these facts Mr. Kooser argued that the alleged confession deserved wo eonxid nation as it had evidently been evolved out of toene fertile brain other than Beach'. That ft was too unauthentic to receive the slightest eonai leralioo and that it was dis believed by the people ot Somerset county. Mr. Kooser said he was not demanding tbe blood of the convicted men but waa simply doing his duty as an attorney as he found it a-w! aoked that tbe mandate of tbe law be enforced. He then read the statement of SUritr McMUlen, to whom David Xicely had voluntarily agreed ti make a TOfifeaio, hav ing submitted to him tbe following propo sitions, In writing, when ia (ail: First That you will use your influence to secure my pardon, or have my sentence commuted. Second That if any of my friends are im plicated yon will use every effort to protect them. Third I will write all I know concerning the Ctnberger murder, if anything, if it is poblisbed lor my benefit. Fourth I wilt not agree 10 any of the above, if anything, without first consulting my father and mother. ' In view of the above stale meet Mr. Kooeer thought there were the strongest reasons lor believeng that the Nicely bys were the guilty parties. He waa followed by W. H. Kooatx, who argued that tbe re-bearing sbouM be grant ed, that the above statement had been wrung from David Nicely after ha had been captured at the band, of an angry populace. He had been pursued and there was an ex pretsiuu of abject terror on hit eoarxenaace an would lead any ooe to suppose be would do anything to tare himteil After Mr. Koontx had finished Lit argu ment M.-a. Xicely was permitted to plead for tntrcy, and In a broken voice tried to estab lish the innocence of her boys. From eight o'clock until nearly twelve Wednesday night the Board wrestled in se cret session with the q'lestioa of granting a re hearing, and finally rtn-ed tbe applica tion. This decision settles the fate of tbe prisoners so f-tr ad the Pardoo B rd ia con cerned. When the writer visited; the Xicely boys in the new j'toJonday afternoon be found them both in V happy slate cf mind and ap parently undisturbed by tbe final action of the Board of Pair Jons. Neither of them had anything 10 say for publication exsept that they had not yet abandoned hop. Both men are very much bleached and hare lost considerable in weight during the twenty months of their confinement. Argument Court. At an Argument court held last week a motion for a new trial waa refused in the case of tbe Commonwealth vs. H. J. Reed ; same vs Charles Hemps and same vs F. B. Lngue aad sentence was imposed upon tbe defendants wbo bad been found guilty at September sessions of the crimes with which they were charged. F. B.

There ia no doubt that in a great many instances the teachers of the public schools are paid salaries far below what they should receive. The work of the teachers is very arduous. It is not confined to the hours when school is in session, for great deal of the work has to be done out side of school hours. Tbe position occupied by the public school teacher is a very important one. Tbey should be men and women of education. but unless good salaries are paid teachers of this tort cannot be obtained.

Whether any fur ther effort wiil or can be made in behalf of the condemned men. we are not able to say. If this ia the last effort that can be made to hat . the sentence set aside or commuted, tbt i..tioo is, what will Governor Beaver do? Will he set a day for their execution or not ?
