ve k .ln Washington on Friday an in
quest was held on the remains of a wo
3nan,'known as Annie Dean, who died in
a low tenement house on F street. Ac
cording to her own story, told to the old
negress who'rented the place, she was the
daughter of a New York millionaire, and
ran away some!twelve or fifteen years a
go with her father's coachman. Her broth
er incensed at the marriage and laying
the whole blame on the coachman, threat
ened to shoot him and hunted for him.—
The man, taking alarm, ran away and
left the young bride to her own resources.
Her family, though immensely wealthy,
discarded her and refused her the slight
est aid, and as a natural consoquence of
her unfortunate marriage and desertion
she sank in the social scale until h e
came to die' in a hovel, surrounded by
squalor, poverty and filth, the victim of a
hand-to-hand fight with a drunken color
ed woman. It is supposed she is the young
lady of the Dean-Boker ease, which, was
up in New York some years ago, and in
which the press of that city espoused the
coachman's cause—The Herald especially.
For a time it was . the sensation of the
country, as muck so as the Burdell mur
der. The man was described as young
and handsome, the girl not very bright.
The father tried to have the marriage set
aside and failed. The coachman's name
was Boker, the I - Miter's Dean.—American.
EA most fatal malady—an affection
of the throat and lungs—has broken out
among the horses in certain sections of the
country. In the cities in which it first
-made its appearance it has lost nothing
of its malignant character, and it is con
stantly spreading to neighboring places.
More than thirty thousand horses are dis
abled in : New York. Six hundred cars
have been withdrawn from the street rail
ways, and the hackinen whose teams still
hold out2are, the masters of the situation.
They charge enormous fares, which arc
generally paid with thankfulness. In Bos
ton :most of the work horses havelhoen
withdrawn from the street, and the haul
ing of parcels is done in hand-cars drawn
by men. The railroad depots in Buffalo
and Rochester are clocked up with freight,
which cannot ha delivered for want of

have put ti notices, "No more freight re

PRESIDENTIAL Eilictiox.—The Presi
dential Electiou emirs on, Tuesday next,
November sth, about which there seems
to exist a unusual apathy or indifference.
A More than ordinary interest wa s
manifested previous to the State election,.
a little more than a month ago. But the
Republicans were so agreeably surprised
with its result, and the Democrats as sere.:
ly disappointed, that both would seem to
have relapsed into a state of indifference
as to the result on Tuesday next; and
judging from the columns of our exchanges
the same feeling exists generally in our
State. On this account the vote at the
coming election may fall short of that
very proms-
field-in-October---If-the-Democrats-with
their aids, the "Liberals" or "Reformers,"
etc. were united on the veteran New York
Editor, and could be induced to take ad-
vantage of this indifference or feeling of
self security in the Republican ranks, the
result, notwithstanding the unexampled
majority given Hartrauft over Buckalew,
might be turned against the hero otYieks
burg, Appomattox, etc. on Tuesday; but
want of harmony among the former pre
cludes the possibility of such a turning
of_the_political_tables.
"LOVE ONE ANOTHER."-AS the breath
of the great statesman and accomplished .
diplomat, William EL Seward, lingered
feebly on his lips, and he was taking his
farewell of dear ones,, his last admonish
ing words were "Love one another." What
a - lesson - orTierl&fiv - Tfo - r - the - study - oftination;
and how appropriate the precept from a
truly great mind to a people it had so
faithfully and brilliantly served. , Mr.
Seward had li'Ved to know what hate
means. He had seen it. in high and low
places—he had lieheld the rankling hates
of the great and powerful, of the opulent
and the luxurious, who are never satisfied
with getting—who never consider they
have enough, and never are willing to
stop. Such as these hate all who seem to
interfere with them by striving to get a
small portion of this world's goods and
honor ; and therefore they do not know
what it is to love one another. — Thep rather
delight in trampling upon one another—
grasping or monopo y--gree y i evour
ing every good within their reach—and
gnashing their teeth when a crumb escapes
their lips. Mr. Seward imparted his best
lessions to the country when, with dying
lips, he beseeched his countrymen to love
one another.
TUE FALLING LEAvzs.—The falling
leaves, as well as the pathetic cries that
are so often heard beside the open grave,
eloquently proclaim that change anyte
t
cay are the law which controls everyt ing
around us. The lovely flowers which ex
haled their fragrance on every breeze and
many of the beloved 'associates of bygone
days have drooped and died, and their
beautiful forms gladden our eyes no more.
The changing seasons which produce such
marvelous scenes as we often gaze upon,
first with delight and anon with .adness,
should remind up of the changes of this
mortal life. Happy at life's close shall
we be if we have wisely improved our al
lotted time.
sta-The Hon. William F. Johnson, ex-
Governor, died in Pittsburg on the 25th
inst. He was a man of marked ability,
and at one time exercised a great influ
ence in our State politics. He was Spea
ker of the Senate in 1847, and on the death
of Governor Francis Shunk he succeeded
to the vacant gubernatorial chair, ex-0.111-
(31,0, In 1848 he was elected Governor by
the Whigs, and in 1851 was a candidate
for re-election, but was defeated by the
Hon, William Bigler. Since that time
he has occasionly appeared in politics,but
not often on the winning side. Although
a strong anti-slavery man, he never en
joyed in any large degree the confidence
of the Republicans. He was nominated
for the Vice Presidency by one of the
fragments of the Native American party,
which had not yet been absorbed in 1856.
Governor Johnson was a man of imposing
presence and handsome features—in fact,
it was claimed that in his prime he was
the finest looking man in Pennsylvania.
TERRIBLE AFFRAY.-01 Thursday,
the 17th instant, at Mr. Beard's Sale,
near Fountaindale, a fracas oceurr - ed,
which came near proving fatal. Two
roughs, named Jos. Brawner and Jas.
Wills, under the influence of bad whiskey,
engaged in a political discussion, which
ended in a free fight. Wills was struck
in the head with a stone and terribly club
bed—and Brawner received a gash in the
neck from a knife in the hands of Wills,
-which almost severed the jugular vein;
and was, also, severely cut on the bands
and arms. At last accounts both parties
were lying in a critical situation.— aar

ARRIVED SAFELY.--The many friends
of Mr. H. C. Barr, who , left this place a
short time ago for Europe, will be pleas
ed to learn that he arrived safely at Glas
gow in Scotland. We are permitted to
make a few extracts from a private letter
received:by one of our citizens, which was
written on the Bth instant :
"Nearly five weeks elapsed since I bid
farewell to family and friends of my na
tive place, and fe-day finds me safe across
the Atlantic, sojourning amidst the High
lands of Scotland. Never will I forget
the thoughts and reflections that • filled
my -mind when I took my seat on deck
of the steamer Batavia which bore me a
way on my long journey—before me were
the scenes of a dark and untried futurep,
but-spanned - by , the-beautiful rainbow of
hope. Behind me were the familiar faces
of friendr at home, and the vivid recol
lections of boyhood's sunny days. As I
_sat-thus_engagedin_meditation-I-was-sud--
denly aroused by the shrieks of a lady
who had fallen from the hatchway, down
to the steerage deck. She remained in a
helpless condition during the whole voy
age of twelve days. • We encountered a
-few-da,ys-of-stormy-weather-and-with-it ,
the characteristic symtoms of a sea-voy
age. I was classed among the sickest.—
For two days nothing remained on my
stomach five minutes and I had a good
foretaste7of_what-a-spell-of - sea-sickness - :
would be. Taking all things into consid
eration I must say we had a very pleas
ant voyage as we were not crowded with
passengers, as those steamers usually are
on their return trips with emigrants. She
-carried-thirteen-cabin-passengers-and-a--
bout sixty steerage; is a fine new steamer
with two masts, 330 ft. long from stem to
stern, fint-is-not-particularly-noted-for
speed, her best time, during the voyage,
with a good seabreeze and full sails, was
321 miles in 24 hours. She is capable of
carrying 2800 tons. I was not in steerage
more than 24 hours before I became dis
gusted with the accommodations and the
class of people With whom I. was thrown.
and determined, if possible, to better my
situation. I accomplished this by making
the acquaintance of the boatswain-mate
who had charge of affairs on the upper
and main deck. I complained to him of
ray situation and he very kindly gave me
a comfortable bed on the main deck,
where I also took my meals with him,
the accommodations being equal to that
of any officer on board the steamer or any
cabin passenger who paid from= 80to 100
dollars. I gave two additional pounds
-for-my-quarters-and-the-whole-trip-cost—
ing me but 45 dollars. The first land we
came in sight of was the Saltee mountains
on the coast of Ireland on Tuesday the
first day of October, where we encounter
ed-heavy seas. This line of steamers
touch at Queenstown and she had 13
passengers for this place, but owing to
the rapid tide it was deemed inexpedient
to touch at this port. On Wednesday af
ternoon we came in sight of the Holy
head mountains and that night at twelve
o'clock arrived in the channel of Liver
pool. The baggage was examined, the
passengers changed to a tug boat and con
veyed to the docks. Much dissatisfaction
existed among the passengers at the idea
of being landed in a strange place at that
hour of the night, and left to obtain quar
ters as best they could, in such a place
as Liverpool. It was a perfect outrage
in the officers of the steamer Batavia and
was not adding much to the their reputa
tion. There Was a gentleman in steerage
who was traveling from Chicago (where
he had been for two years) to London.—
When he got aboard. at New York he
was quite unwell, his genual appearance
indicating some. serious constitutional di
sease. and every day seemed to be grow
ing weaker and eventually became unable
to walk alone. He stopped at the same
hotel in Liverpool with a Philadelphian
and myself, occupying a room to himself
and expected to start the next day for
London. The next morning he did not
get up and for humanity's sake I went to
his room and found him unconscious and
could not be aroused. I called the lady's
attention to the matter who conducted
the hotel, a physician was sent for, who
informed us that he was in an exceed
ingly critical condition, but as I had no
time to spare I was obliged to leave him
to the tender mercies of strangers. I could
neither find his name or address. I had
then to complete my journey to Glasgow,
and having sufficient of sea for the pres
ent I concluded to' complete my journey
by rail—could have gone cheaper by wa
ter but it would have required more time.
At .one o'clock I took the London &
Northwestorn route and arrived .in Glas
gow at 10 o'clock at night. The united
Kingdom is certainly far behind the age
in the way of railway facilities: There
are Ist 2d and 3d class cats-Ist and 2d
have cushioned seats and 3d nothing but
ordinary benches. They are termed car
riages here and the name s is very appro
priate, as you enter from either side by a
door. Each carriage contains from three
to five boxes, according to the length of
the car, they being partitioned off, each
box being the width of the car, and com
petent of accommodating twelve to four
teen passengers. They are destitute of
platforms, water closets, and stoves, the
latter being very detrimental to comfort ,
in cold weather. A great many fashion
able people travel 3d class as it is much
the cheapest. The fare from Liverpool
here, is 10 shillings. The conductors
(messengers here) do not call on you for
your ticket until you arrive at your des
tination. The detention at stptions is
quite annoying to persons accustomed to -
stopping only a few minutes. The most
intolerable nuisance of Liyerpool are the
bvenile newspaper venders and hoot
lacks, there is scarcely such a thing as
getting rid of them. The donkey's are
quite a curiosity. The country between
Liverpool and this.place is grand, every
inch of ground being covered with the
greenest sod (except that under cultiva
tion) even the banks of the railroad cuts.
The roads seem almost as marble. The
farmers are in the midst of harvest. The
beautiful mountain scenery, hedge fences
green trees with the fields dotted all over
with the finest specimens of sheep and cat
tle is grand to behold. Among the places
worthy of note that I have visited since I
have been in Glasgow are the monuments
in commemoration of Sir Walter Scott,
Robert Peek, Thomas Graham, Lord
Clyde a native of thin place, and Sir
John Moore, As I stood gazing upon
the grand architectural work erected to
the memory of the last mentioned emi
nent's:4er, the following lines omit in
to my mind that I read in my school
days, of his hurial.
"We buried him darkly at dead of the night,
The sod with our bayonets turning ;
And the moonbeams misty , light,
With the lantern dimly burning
No useless coffin enclosed his breast,
Nor in shroud, nor in sheet. we wound him,
But he lay like a warrior; taking his rest,
With his marshalled cloak around him."
A fac simile of his form is beautifully
carved on the top of the monument. Lit
tle did I think, during my boyhood, when
I read those lines, that I would ever have
the pleasure of seeing his monument. The
next morning after I arrived, I went a
round to the 91asgow Veterinary College
and had a talk with Prof. McCall, who
received me very courteously and impart
ed every information desired in regard. to
the rules and regulations of the College
and what is required of a student, which
coincides pretty much with the prospect
us he had sent me, only he has established
• r_te_rnaituaddition_to the regular
winter term, which enables students to fin
ish their studies much sooner. Next Fri
day is the day appointed for the matr:-
latory examination, for which work I am
now preparing. The regular lectures will
. ..notzom pnep until the 3.o.t.h.ofthis month
Prof. McCall is very much.of a gentleman
and stands high in the estimation of the
people. I have not yet formed the ac
quaintance of the rest of the faculty, but
-ever —one-connected-with--the-Colle. e-is_
very sociable and willing to giVe me any
information I desire. The shoeing estab
lishments are all in connection with the
College. and from the ample opportunities
afforded we cannot help but learn. The
-Prof.-took-me-and another-student with
him to the cattle market. A large drove
had just arrived, most of which suffered
from_a_diseasecalleel the oot mouth disease
which is very prevalent among cattle here.
It is an eruptive disease manifesting itself
under the upper lip, and is very conta
gious. All the dairies and cattle mar
kets in the city are under Prof. McCall's
supervision. Nothing is allowed to be
sold - here at market without first having
undergone a rigid inspection. Everything
used fbr food is very pure. The best but
ter I ever tasted I eat here, and the qual
ity of beef in America compared with
this is like leather. How is that for your
Waynesboro' butchers ? The style. of liv
ing at hotels is very different here from
that in America. They don't have their
regular three meals a day. You order
what you want at any hour of the day, a
good substantial - meal - can be had at any
of the lunch rooms for 1 shilling (22 ets.)
e ScotelLpeople_liv_e_on_go_o_d s_ubs_ta.n
tial food and dress comfortably, the ef
fects of which is quite discernable on the
rosy cheeks of the ladies of Glasgow. I
took up boarding in a private family No.
14 Holenhead St. in a quiet part of the
city and within a few minutes walk of the
college. My chum is one of the students
who was here last session, he is religious
ly disposed man of about 35 years and
does very much in the way of assisting me
in my studies. He has religious services
morning and evening and the lady of the
house is a most exemplary christian wo
man. My board costs me ten shillings
per week (82,20.) My text books will
cost me about one pound. Tuition per
session about thirteen pounds ; merchan
dize of all kinds costs about one half what
we have to pay in America. In my next
letter I will be able to give you more full
particulars."
For the Village Record
The Waynesboro' Railroad.
Mr. Blair:—From present appearances
of this great Mork, a new era, in the pro
gress, and the general improvement of
Franklin County, must soon be marked, if
surveys mean anything, for we have had
already near a dozen, and lately they lave
been coming faster than ever. I hope that
a change must soon take place in our way
of traveling—instead of plodding our way
over ordinary roads, sometimes muddy
and other times dusty, at the rate of four
or five 'miles an hour we will be enabled
to reach many important points, by means
of steam, cheaply, safely and quickly. -h-
Instead of transporting the produce of the
County, and the large amount of mater
ial, merchandise and coal for our consump
tion, &c., by means of heavy teams, and
at great expense, we will be enabled to be
supplied with a quick and cheap convey
ance for everything that we need, either
for consumption or traffic. The lands of
our County will likewise become populous
and prosperous in the same ratio that the
means of reaching its borders are multi
plied. I could go on and enumerate the
many advantages, &c. but all 'this has
been long ago and many times spoken of
through your pr. per.
The effects of all improvements upon
the town, would soon show itself, and can
only be estimated by the general life and
activity that would - be added to the place
after the completion of a Railroad to Way
nesboro'. I expected to get some infor
mation from the survevs lately made to
and from your place, but I have heard
nothing definite as yet—and shall all this
be of no account? If we are to have a
Railroad let it be known at once, so that
we may know where we stand—let it come
from :Hagerstown and Harrisburg, o r
should that amount to nothing, let us a
gain, and with earnest intention and de
termination look forward to a connection
with the Western Maryland Railroad—
the nearest point practicable. Our trade
is Baltimore. I acknowledge a degree of
mortification that Baltimore thus far has
shown so little disposition to avail herself
by immediate action to secure the advan
tages of this route. But I know from re
liable source, that if we start in the mat
ter, that Baltimore city and the Western
Md. It R. will do their share of the work.
I do not reside in 'Waynesboro' myself,
but haVing had something to do with se
curing, a Railroad to your town, I still
feel that deep interest in the place, and
am desirous of seeing a Railroad come for
the benefit and advantage of all in and
around the town.
In point of scenery, Waynesboro' is ex
celled by few towns in Pennsylvania, and
as for traffic it cannot be outdone, so it
would pay, and no investment that the
citizens could or would make, would ben
efit them more. The distance is only a
trifle in comparison to the advantages to
be derived. Baltimore is your natural
depot for your produce, and the point from
which you draw your supplies of merchan
dise, 6:o. Tf you connect at Hagerstown,
the Cumberland Valley or Dillsburg, the
route is too, circuitous. The greatest im
portance is to have as direct a Raildoad
to Baltimore as possible, but if you can do
no better, and these roads will do the right
thing with you—l say go ahead—if done
soon, or make your way to the Western
Md. Railroad.'
So much has been said from time to
time, about gettinga road to Waynesboro',
in your paper, Mr. Editor, that I shall
close and not worry the minds of the peo
ple any longer. All that is wanting is to
go ahead, and do the best. you can, with
out much fuss or delay, and you are sure
to have a road—but you must be united,
for in union there is strength and success.
If the good people of Waynesboro' will
let me select a route for them, and they
will raise the funds to grade and bridge
it,ready for the superstructure, I will guar
antee to them that the Iron• and Ties will
be put down. Ido not wish to interfere
with their business and work, but let them ,

Little Harvey is gone to rest,
Sleeps in the grave among the Nest,
Until the time God's-trumpet sounds,
To waken him from under ground,
To appear before his Saviour God,
Who on the cross had spilt his blood,
To save his soul from wrath to come,
Which was in Adam and Eve undone
Prepare yourselves to follow me •
Beyond the grave where angels be,
For in this life you cannot stay
As you by me can now see.
A change of life will certain be
With all that are created here;
Parents and brother, do prepare
That you with me that love may share
