has put a stop to the • practice becoming
common in some of the German States of
sending their convicts to the United States.
This is a game that two could play el, and
nothing would be easier than to send back
all the German criminals /milt this coun
try. The foreign peoples would soon find
that it was a losing game.
te.lndiana has hit upon a plan, which
if carried into execution, will effectually
put a quietus upon the "emotional insani.

our jurisprudence. A bill before the Leg
islature of that State provides that, when
ever an accused person is acquitted upon
the plea of temporary insanity, the judge
of the court in which said acquittal takes
place shall assign him to a lunatic asylum
for a term of years proportionate to the
enormity the crime committed.

MRS. LYDIA: SEtEgmAN.—The confes
,sion. whieh was made by Mrs. Lydia Sher
man, who was sentenced to imprisonment
for life recently in Connecticut, is one of
the most heartless records of crimes which
we.htive ever read. Mrs. Sherman was
born in New Jersey, in December; 1824.-
1 aiden-name-wasDanbury,--At-the- 1
age o: nine tnerAths she was left an orphan,
and was taken in charge by her uncle in
whose heuse she rived until she-was six
teen. She then went to Canada where
she had a brother living, After being in.
Canada for two or three_yeara,_she_rnarri-1
ecln, man parne,d Strock, a carriage-imith
by trade, with whom she lived a number
of years, during which time she gave birth,
to seven children, one of whom died Some
part of her married life she and her hus=
hand resided in New York city. After
being there for some time, Strock was put
upon the police force, and was subsequent
ly discharged for cowardice in not arrest-,
ina a murderer. This so preyed upon him
as to disturb his mind to some extent, and
he gave himself to idleness' and despond
ency to such an extent that he became a
burden to , his wife. In order to rid her
self of him, she gave him arsenic which
terminated his life in a few days. She
was now left with six children to support,
and she soon decided that it would be well
• to put the three youngest out of the way.
Ste accordingly administered arsenic to
em. Tan •m - a - clitritir - all — died:
A short time after this, her second son,
who %vas earning $2.50 per week, became
sick and lingered fo.• some time. His moth
er fearing that he would become a bother
to her, gave him arsenic also, and he died
le next day. She now lib - A - hut tWo—chil=

a n rse and her oldest dautiliter was in a
dry goods store, 'while the youngest was
left at home. The mother finding that
she could not _et Edon_ as well as she de-
sired, concluded that she would rid herself
of the youngest child. To her she gave
the usual dose of arsenic, and in fourduys
the child died. Her remaining daughter
was soon after attacked with t' 'hold fe-
firer and died, which left her childless.
Some two years after.this she went to
*S4atford, Connecticut, when she became
acquainted with a farmer named Hurl-
Uri, who possessed Some means. This
man was a widower, and Mrs. Strock
went to live with him in the capacity of
house-keeper, and after being with him
three days, she became his wife. With
him she lived, fourteen • mouths, when he
died, leaving her all his property. She
denies having poisoned this man, although
she is strongly suspected of having done
so. Soon after the death of Hurlburt
she married a widower named Horatio N.
Sherman who had several children and a
mother-in-law living with him. This man
became intemperate, and spent a consider
able amount of her money. One day the
Either remarked to his wife that he wish
ed his little son Frank would die, then
his grand-mother, who "was very much at
tached to the child, should not remain an
other day in the house.
,Mrs. Sherman
was not long in bringing about his wish.
She gave the child a dose of arsenic in
some milk, and the child died that even
ing. Sherman had a daughter named
Ada who became sick, and in order to re
lieve herself of any trouble, the step-moth
er gave the girl a dose of arsenic, from
the . effects df which she died the next day.
Some time after this her husband took
sick, and to him she administered arsenic
in brandy which terminated his existence
in a few days, making eight persons whom
she sent to an untimely grave.
Se - Governor Geary believes in vaccin
ation as a preventive small-pox, and in
his message recommends the enacting of
a law providing for compulsory vaccination
with such penalties annexed as will secure
obedience thereto. .He cites his own ex
perience in the Mexican war. The small
pox broke out in the camps with great vi
rulence, but General Scott issued an order
commanding the whole army to be vac
dusted, and the disease immediately dis
appeared. Gen. Sherman did the same
thing while on his famous "march to the
sea," with the same re-ult.' In the ezhools
for the orphans of Pennsylvania soldiers,
in which there are at present thirty-five
hundred children, no case of small-pox
has ever occurred. Being under the con
trol of the State, universal vaccination is
enforced ; hence the complete exemption
from the loathsome disease.
TEIE WELSH HOMICIDE.— The trial of
Mr. Kerper for the killing of Robert H.
Welsh, on the night of the November e
lection began on Monday evening last at,
MeConnellsburg. The Democrat says
that "a jury was obtained without very
great trouble on Tuesday morning. The
case went to the jury on Wednesday af
ternoon and at this writing (Thursday
noon) the jury had failed to agree. The'
. utmost interest in the case was manift,
ca. We do not remember to have ever
gneD the Court room in a more crowded'',
.condition, or to have seen a greater num
ber of strangers in town than during the
continuance of the trial. The case was
condue.ed in the ablest manner, both on
the side.of the -Cep mon wealth and of the
prisoner. Messrs, Cessna and Alexander
appeared in conjunction with the District
Attorney, Jun. A. Robinsen, for the Com
monwealth, while Tllesiars. Sharpe, Kim- I
mei!, Stenger, and Smith appeared for the
Defendant.
From the Repnblica.n we learn that the
jury failed to agree and were ciiseharged.
Consequently the trial will comae up a
zaia z; thc. uczt court.
I
msa..Prof. Wickersh am, Superintend.mr
of Common Schools, in hiareport for the
year 1872, says :—"There are multitudes
idly waiting,for vacant clerkships and an = .
filled Aces, While mechanieal 'work, more
honorable and more remunerative, invites
on all sides the efibrts of willing hands.—
that, of 17,000 criminals in_ the United
States in 1868; 97 per cent. of tbem nev.:
er learned a trade. Out of 240 convicts
received at the Eastern Penitentiary last
year only 12 had been apprenticed and
eerved-their—tiMe."
The main idea suggested
• in this para
graph is that there is a foolish antipathy
in the minds of-many-persons against-me
chanical occupations, While there - may
be a justification for this position 'in a.
well known weakness of the American
mind in faior of "respectable" avocations
it will not do to allow the censure to be
as strong as seems to be expressed in this
extract. Any body who • can read and
write and has mastered the common rules
of' arithmetic, may be a clerk. There is
nothing to preirent him fr.:3m assuming
such duty and there are yo combinations
to prevent him' from learning that busi
ness, or obtaining a situation, if his claims
are sufficiently strong.
But, practically, it may be said, •the
school of instruction is closed to learners
in the mechanical arts. Any one can be
reigrnrwErimuilittawmwroul
not be a mechanic, whatever his wish
may be. The trade organizations which
limit and prohibit the taking of appren
tices to various occupations are cruel com
binations agaifist the youth of the coun
• try and criminTLl conspiraciesagainst the
-tee eat of society. If — -4-2;40-
within a year, only 12 had been appren
ticed and served their time,it-is-not-a,v.
olent_presumptionthat_from_lso_toiao
of these persons never had — a chance to
learn a trade, and were prohibited fret
becoming apprentices. Under a system
like this there is growing up a vast com
munity of idleri, a great majority of whom
are driven by necessity into crime.
TEE HORRORS or 1872.—The year juk
closed haibeen, from the beginning, laden
with disasters by fire, flood, storm and
earthquake. The old and new alike ex
perienced the devastations to life and prop
erty never before recorded on the lieges of
history. Says, truly, the Cincinnati Com
mercial, in a paragraph contemplating the
past twelve months : While the northern
coasts of the Old World are strewn with
the wrecks of ships, and rivers have risen
from their beds—inundating .extensi v e
and fertile plains, sweeping away the prop
erty of the inhabitants, and destroying
hundreds of lives, we have, coming thick
and fast in our • own land, horror upon
horror and loss upon loss.
Commencing with the destructive con
flagration in Bosten, no day has passed
that has not had its own story of the de
struction of property by fire, the amount
rarely falling below a quarter of a million.
We think it not an exaggerated statement
to say that the average loss has not fall
en much below a million of dollars. And
these losses can for the most part, be trac• •
ed to defects in construction. This must
not be repeated in building, if we hope to
escape with better fortune hereafter.
The chapter of recent accidents is an
exceedingly long and painful one. That
of the Fifth Avenue Hotel stands out un
relieved by a single mitigating circum
stance, but its horrors are surpassed by
the details which- the telegraph brings us
of the accident at Prospect Station, Penn
sylvania. Following close upon this was
the falling in of the floor of a church in
Williamsport, from the debris of which a
mass of mangled humanity has been drag
ged by surviving friends.
• And now comes the intelligence. from
Memphis of the breaking of an ice-gorge,
four miles above the city, theice cutting
down steamboats and barges, and crunch
ing them in its terrible grip as though
they had been but egg-shells. The full
extent of the disaster is not yet known,
but the losses, it is thought, will not fall
below a million of dollars.
May 1873 deal more graciously and
mercifully with the world.
RATHER DISCOURAGING.—AR lowa
City paper publishes a list of prices cur
rent which holds out rather gloomy pros
pects for the farmers of that region. It
says : A pair of boots cost two loads of
potatoes ; a night's lodging, a load of •oats ;
the wife wears five acres of wheat; the
children each ten acres of corn ; the price
of an overcoatis a good four year old
steer; of a Sunday suit, twenty fat hogs.
Some heartless individual attempt
ed to throw a passenger train from the
track, six miles south of Chambersburg
recently. • A heavy oak rail had been
thrust down a cow hole with about four
feet of it out. The engineer saw it in time
to check up and passed over with but
slight damage. The train was due at
Chambersburg at 12:45 P. M.
The most deadly enemy is our own
breath. A canary bird hung in its cage

"Wail. Wes ?"—The last Boonsho
ro', Odd , Fellow in. noticing the strange
noise that was beard in that section, says:
On the day mentioned, Mr.'Frisby J.
Davis, 'with Mr. James Brown, had a
surveying party out on the mountain, a
bove the old Etna Furnace Mid, on.
Beaver Creek, laying out a tract of land
into lots. Along between 1 and 2 o'clock
they distinctly heard a loud noise, which
seemed to proceed from the valley, re
sembling very much the rosring of a lion
—somethingbetween, a moan and
This was repeated several times, and so
distinctly "as to attract t Eaten ion
the whole party, and provoked a good
_deal_of_comment_and—speculationas—
what it probably was. The matter, how
ever, was soon dismissed from their minds
until after they bad come down into the
settlement. Here they found that the
same sounds bad been heard, and de
scribed as resembling some animal or per
son groaning in deep pain or distress.—
Wherever they went, this strange noise
was the subject of comment. One man
had saddled his-horse-and ridden several
miles to' another farm, supposing the
sound proceeded from thence, and•to use
his own words, "something was wrong."
From more than a dozen other persons
in and out of town, we have had accounts
of the same strange sounds, all agreeing
as to time and the character of the noise.
; o: ever case the sound seemed
to be very near, and like as if some ani
mal was in distress, so as to deceive them
into making an examination of the prem
ises in the immediate neighborhood. R.

killed while alone, and he
was seen coming from the stable, he might
be accused of murder. He then ran to
the house and on inquiry found Mr. Kee
dy safely inside, unconscious of any dan
ger or noise. One woman heard it while
in the cellar, and hastened up and ran
all around the house expecting to see
some one in the very agonies of death.—
Dr. D. Fahrney, supposing it proceeded
from his hog pen, ran down quickly to
see if any - of - hogs had been - injured. Oth
er men ran to their stables, supposing some
of their horses or stock had received in
juries, or were dying. We heard of one
man who ran out ,to the field where hi
had some stock, believing they had been
hurt in some way. Such reports as these
come in from so many reliable farmers,
that it has awakened in our community a
great deal of curiosity, and any amount
of talk.
What it was, we have no idea at all.—
Some attribute it to the breaking of the
ice on the Potomac, some eight or nine
miles from this town, and nearly thirteen
from the mountain where Mr. Davis' sur
veying party heard it. Other say a lion
had escaped from a menagerie somewhere
in the South and had strayed up into these
parts. Others think the sound proceeded
from the Washington County R. R., pro
duced by the cars, or something of that
sort. The superstitiOus, of whom there
are many, believe it was a token—whatever
that may be.
We do not believe either of these theo
ries, or reason for the sound. But, what
was it? and what produced it? That's
the questil.

RAILROAD WAR.—The Lancaster In
telligencer says the latest news from Mar
rietta is that two rival gangs of workmen
—the one employed in the interest of the
Reading railroad company and the other
by the Pennsylvania railroad company—
are hard at work, side by side, on the west
bank of the Susquehanna, opposite Ma
rietta, grading along the proposed line of
the new railroad from that point to Han
over junction. The cause of this unwont
ed activity in building railroads in mid
winter is to be found in the fact, if we are
rightly infcrmed that the Reading rail
road company is anxious to secure a route
to the South over the new Hanover Branch
and Susquehanna railroad, while the Penn
sylvania railroad company is not only
anxious to prevent it, but is also desirous
of making connection along the York
county bank of the river between Wrights
ville and Middletown. With this object
in view, a charter was obtained for the
construction of a railroad between these
wo points, and to build it will lib neces
sary to occupy the same ground between
Glatz's Ferry and the Hanover Junction
and the Susquehanna railroad company.
Hence, .both parties, each bent on circum
venting the other, are mustering all the
pick and shovel recruits they can raise.—
Thus far the war has been a very "civil
one," but there is no telling what form
hostilities may assume between the two
great rival corporations.

She was an affectionate wife, fond mother,
and a. useful member of sOciety. For
sometime she was a great sufferer, yet.
amid it, she relaxed not omesti

two weeks she lingered, when the end
came. When it came it found her ready.
After words of parting with her husband,
and expressions of care for her children,
she said to her attendants, •`I am going to,
Jesmysirrg" — Thersan - . ,
"Jesus, lover of my soul,
_Letine to_thy_bosom_fly,

While the tempest still is high.

-spirit had fled.
She leaves a husband and six •children
to mourn her loss, but their loss is her
gain.
