ExEctruoli OF FOSTER.—Foster, the
ear-hook murderer, was executed at New
York on Friday last. The despatch says :
Foster awoke at seven o'clock, and par
toOk of a cup of coffee,• but ate nothing.—
lie was very pale and his strength seemed
fast-failing. He_was_attended_ by Rev.
Dr. Tyng and Rev. Mr. Schoonmaker, the
Chaplain of Sing Sing.' He engaged in
devotional exercises until nine o'clock.
At eleven minutes past nine he was
led out, supported, by Sheriff Brennan and
the under Sheriff, Foster walked unfalter
ingly to the scaflbid. dlis face had a hec
tic flush., Arriving beneath the scaffold,
Rev. Dr. Tyng, assisted by Rev. Mr.
Schoonmaker, read from the office for the
"Visitation of Prisoners" as laid down in
the Ritual • of the Episcopal Church the
JfiBerere, being the 51st Psalm of David.
The service concluded with this solemn
form of benediction by the Rev. Dr. Tyng:
"Unto God's gracious mercy and protec
tion we commit thee. The Lord bless thee
and keep thee. The Lord make his face
to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto
thee. The Lord lift up hk countenance
upon thee, and give thee peace, both now
and evermore. Amen."-
During the reading of the service Fos
ter stood beneath the scaffold, his head
bowed down and his left hand shading
his eyes.
Rev. Dr. Sehoonmaker shook• hands
with Paster, and said : "God bless thee,
my friend."
At seventeen minutes past nine o'clock
the bolt was drawn and the soul of the
unfortunate man was launched into eter•
A later New York dispatch says:
A statement is published based on in
formation derived from a Tombs official,
that Foster took poison the night before
his execution. About eight o'clock yester
day morning the matron of the Tombs
fmnd Foster sick, aild in explanation he
then admitted that he had taken poison.—
The man's symptoms in every way con
firmed the suspicion. On this account the
Sheriff hastened the execution, and Avhile
many believed that the duratiomof the re
ligious exercises was telling on Foster's
li6rves, it was in reality weakness caused
by the poison that was acting on hint.—
The Tombs physician says that Foster
would have died if the execution had been
delayed until 10 o'clock.

ihtirThe - Lan eas ter - Erpress has the fol
lowing : "There lived in Salisbury town
ship, Lancaster county, a — man named
Henry Eaby, a miller and well-to-do and
respected citizen. He was a member of
•the Mennonite Church, which sect pre
dominates in the vicinity. About two
years ago his wife and two Children were
taken suddenly sick, about the same time
and in the same manner: Medical aid
was summoned, and the 'physician? pio
tommed the symptoms those of poison.--
How the poison got into the systems of the
victims wed a mistery. The physicians
examined the premises, and said it might
have come from the well, which was adja
cent to a stagnant pool of water. Mr. Ea
by had the welt throughly cleansed. The
victims, however, all died. About two
months ago, Mr. Eaby, after eating sup
per, was taken with sickness, and mmark
ed while drinking the last cup of coffee,
that it tasted different from the former
cup he had drank, and inquired from the
others if theirs tasted so, they answered
in the negative. The same physician that
attended the others that died was dis
patched for, and upon his arrival asked
if Eaby had any enemies, to which those
who were around answered that he had
not an enemy to their knowledge. The
physician said the man was poisoned.—
He lingered a but few days and died. It
is now believed that the whole family was
'intentionally poisoned. It is conceded
that circumstances point strongly to the
guilt of a certain party in the neighbor
hood.
rs,,ln his Sunday sermon, Mr. Beech
er, touching upon the crime and punish
ment of Foster, declared strongly against
capital punishment in enlightened and
civilized communities It may do well
enough in a barbarous state of society, but
it does not prevent crime here. He deni
ed to society the right to punish when
it does not prevent crime. When it li
censes grog-shops and drunkenness, when
it delays the punishment of crime and
thereby etuboldenslhe criminal, and when
individuals calmly surrender to robbers
in their own homes, they do not deserve
to have homes at all, nor does society pos
sem the right to punish, and especially it
should not punish criminals as beasts, but
as men. Mr. Beecher believed that for
ty years imprisonment would prevent
murder much more effectually than hang
ing a man and then forgetting him. lie
also deprecated the prominence given to
criminal news in the press, and he did ,not
belieVe that young persons can read the
daily record of crime and not be injured
by it.

of two lives, and the third is trembling
in the balance. His unhappy widow is firil

our sporting gents have been in pursuit
of them, but with what success we have
not learned. We noticed one individual
with an eye blackened and his face other
wise disfigured, the result of overloading
his fowling piece on one of these excursions.
THE WEATHER.—The weather during
this week has been of a most disagreeable
character, an admixture or rain, snow,
sleet, ice and mud, with a damp chilling
air to boot.
On Wednesday we had the March e
quinox in reality. At an early hour a
hail storm of more than ordinary severity
set in, which was afterwards turned to a
regular . mid-winter snow storm. At 10
A. M. the ground was covered and the
"beautiful snow" still falling. •
ARRESTED.—We learn from the last
Opinion. that E. S. Miller, route agent on
the S. P. R. R. was arrested on Wednes
day of last week by a Government Detec
tive and committed to jail for tampering
with the mails and abstracting money from
letters. Miller confessed to his guilt. He
is respectably connected and has parents

r ANomEn ROGUE.---ADAM S. EICITEL
BEIZGER has swindled us out of au account
of $11,50 for printing sale bills and ad
vertising in February 1872. Adam last
spring removed to Catoctin Furnace, Fred
erick county, Md. Some few weeks since
he returned and collected the money due
from his sale notes, but failed to call ac
cording to promise and settle his account.
If this was the result of oversight And not
downright rascality we will make the a
mende honorable when the 11.50 comes to
hand.
A BETTER DAY COMING.—The first of
April demands for prompt settlements are
inexorable. The "times" are not so "hard"
as some people predicted, nor so bad as
might have been expected from the short
ness of the crops and other causes. There
have been fewer failures than for several
years past. The people. .at least all pru
dent people, have been preparing for the
scarcity of money by economic living. By
greater care in business, economy, indus
try and a reasonable extensiou of time to
honest debtors, we can bridge over the
present stringency ; and should, .a kind
Providence grant a favorable harvest, all
will go well again.
We would advise all who have pay
ments to make, to deny themselves some
things if necessary to make payments ;
and where it is impossible to pay all, at
least pay a part promptly. Those who
have money
.to lend should not hesitate to
put, it in safe hands at a reasonable rate
of intetest. Assist worthy farmers and in
dustrious mechanics; and foster your man
ufacturing interests. Thus the whole com
munity will prosper, and a year later, ev
ery good citizen will be richer in money
and happiness.

WOOD'S HOUSEHOLD MAGAZINE.-Mr.
Samuel J. Gordon has been appointed
convassing agent for this cheap and desir
able publication. As its title indicates, it
is devoted to the instruction and enter
tainment of the family_circle, and the low
price at which it is furnished—one dollar
per year—places it within the reach of ail.
From a hurried examination of its con
tents we have no hesitation iu recommen
ding it to our readers, the lady portion es
pecially. It is furnished to subscribers
at $l,OO per year or $1,50-with-two hand
some premium engravings. The specimens
before us, "Our Hope" and "Our Joy,"
are worth the price of the magazine twice
over. Mr. G. is a deserving young man,
and a triple; and the public we think
should patronage him generally.
ARREST OF HORSE lIIIEVES.—Two men
from Bedford 'county, with Mr. George
Smith of the Gap in this county, on Wed
nesday night *of last week arrested two
horse thieves at the public house of Mr.
V. B. Gilbert, (Beautiful View Springs)
on the South Mountain, and the next
morning passed through town with the
captives and their booty, four horses and
a buggy, on their way to Bedfoßi. We
understand two of the horses were taken
from a stable neat Hollidaysburg and
the others from Old Town, near Cumber
land, , Md. One of the parties arrested was
named Lyons, a citizen of Bedford coun
ty, and was in posession of his own horse
and buggy. He represented that the oth
er persuaded him to accompany him say
ing that he would sell the horse and bug
gy for him. The latter may have been
thus duped, but under the circumstances
his story seems a little too "thin."
FAMILY BIBLE.—Rev. John Fohl, of
Chambersburg, assistant agent of th e
Franklin County Bible Society, exhibited
to us on Tuesday an improved Family
Bible containing a Pronouncing Diction
ary, which is of great value, and over four
hundred engravings. The impression, il
lustrations, etc., we consider unsurpassed.
Mr. F. is engaged in canvassing the coun ,
ty, and, according to the society's circular,
will supply the destitute, by.sale or gift,
as Circumstances may require, with Bibles
and Testaments. The Rev. gentleman will
be in town for a few days. Families in
want of a Family Bible can secure one of
him upon the most reasonable terms.
AN ACCIDENT.—Mrs. George Foreman
in company with her husband met with
an accident on Sunday evening last near
the residence of Mr. Crilly en the pike
West of town. The horse took fright at
some clothing on a wagon, and by a sud
den leap to the side of the pike throwed
Mrs. F. out of the buggy, the vehicle
passing over her person. We understand
she was very seriously bruised and fbr
sometime rendered quite helpless, but for
tunately nd' bones were broken. This was
certainly a miraculous escape from more
serious if not fatal injuries.

HOOVER :
Death has again laid his cold hand up
on one who was but lately of our 'num-
er. • e sou o . ristan ' over has
winged its flight and returned to Him,
who gave it. Naught remains of our
.nee-genial-companion but the never dy
ing influence of a Godly life. He was
cut down in the prime of youth, with fond
expectations of working for his Master
unrealized. Like a flower he• was pluck
ed but only to be transplanted in the more
congenial soil of his Father's Kingdom.
As an expression of our sorrow at the
loss of one so near, be it resolved, That,
while we mourn the loss of_nur_brother
and deeply sympathize with his relatives
in their affliction, we recogize the band
of the One who doeth all things well.—
That Phrenakismian Society has lost a
faithful member and trusty friend.

HOUSE AND BARNBUI:NED.-0a last
Monday the house and barn of J. Wil
son McCleary of St. Thomas township,
occupied by Geo. W. McCleary, were en
tirely destroyed by fin.
Mr. McCleary went to St. Thomas on
that night and Mrs.' McCleary, not wish
ing to remain alone, went across to Wil
son McCleary's. to remain and left the
house unoccupied.
When Mr. McCleary returned home
accompanied by his brother, he found the
stove cold and concluded to have sbnae
thing to eat and go to bed. While eat
ing, one of them remarked that he smell
ed something burning, and upon going up
stairs and opening the door of one of the
rooms he found it in a sheet, of flame.—
Upon going outside it was found that the
barn was also on fire.
Nearly everything was consumed be
fore it could be removed. The barn con
tained a considerable amount of hay, clo
verseed, grain, &c. There is hardly any
doubt that this was the work of an incen
diary. Mr. McCleary aiqo lost $4OO in
money, which he believes to have been
stolen by the person or persons who fired
the buildings. The property was insured.

FREE TRADE fl MONEY VS. USURY
LAWS.—Three of the New England States,
Rhode Island, Connecticut and Massa
chusetts have abolished the usurylaws.—
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, one
of the most prosperous and enlighted states
of the Union, after five years experience,
speaks through the President of - th - c os
ton Board of Trade, as to the results and
effect of the new system. He says that the
average rate for the use of money is lower
than before, and the amount of loanable
capital has greatly increased, and that bor
rowers are supplied with greater ease at
lower rates ; and further that the change
has essentially profited a large class of bor
rowers byjnereasing the volume of availa
ble capital in the market at lower rates---
and that the tendency is in the direction
of ease and steadiness—the changes being
more gradual than formerly. He says
spasmotie cluznges are unknown under the
new order. Altogether the new law is so
satisfactory-that-the-restoration-of the us
ury laws, in his opinion, would be utter
ly impossible in Massachusetts.
The Hon. John Jay Knox comptroller
of the Currency, remarks in his last an
nual report of December, 1872, that the
rates of interest fixed by the State laws
are not governed by any sound economi
cal or business principles. That the rate
an States except the
three States above named, has remained
for a half a century at a uniform stand
ard, which is less than the present rate of
the Bank of England—while in the States
of Minnesota and Virginia the rate is 1:m
-ite_cLto_tweLve_per_eent
consin and Missouri to ten per cont.—in
Alabama and Ohio to eight per cent.—in
Pennsylvania, Maryland and Kentucky
the rate is fixed at six per cent.—and New
--York-at-seven-percentHe-saysitivould
be difficult to give any gond reason why
the rate of interest should be limited to
ten per con . in ling on— o six per
cent. in the neighboring cities of Philadel
phia, Baltimore, Wilmington and Raleigh
and to twelve percent. just across the Po
tomac in Alexandria 'and the . capital of
Virginia. -
Will some-of-our-distinguished-finan
cial fathers answer some of these questions
and inform the people of Pennsylvania
why they should not expect to see the
same results follow the repeal of_the_Usu
ry laws, as in MaSsachusetts.
IT IS THE Fasmos.—Thin, scraggy,
badly-mnde women invented hoop-skirts
and puffed out dresses which gave the hips
huge proportions, and they said : "It is the
fashion."
Beautifdly-formed women, who req
ed no stuffing, consented to the disfigure
ment, and they, too, said : "It iz the lash-
Short little women invented tigh beds
and high . lead dresses, making the face in
the middle of the body, and they said : "It
is the fashion." Tall and graceful women
with a sigh, said : "It is the fashion," and
se made themselves too tall, giving' the
dwarf* the stature that nature, with.ut
high heels and high head:dresses, had be
stowed upon them.
Women with large, fat feet, thick ank
les and low instep's said, "We must hide
our feet and ankles." They invented long
dragging dresses, and said : "It is the fash
ion." Then all women with dear little
feet said, "0 dear I it is the fashion, and
we, too, must wear long dresses."
That long dresses have a certain style
about them is not to be denied, and a pret
ty woman can manage to show just a
glimpse of a small fuot, a high instep and
a well turned ankle. Dresses with trails
may be worn in a drawing-room (the car
pet supposed to be.clean) and in a car
riage, but in the street, dragging through

REMEDY Felt MAD-DOG BITE.—A
highly respectable gentleman of this ,eity
advanced in years, informs us that there
is an infallible remedy for bite of a mad
dog put up and sold by one of the Drug
gists at Hanover, Pa.,—that it has been
thoroughly tested in ever, possible nay,
on man and beast. and has never failed
in a single instadice. Our friend informed
us that some years ago when ho, farming
in Adams county, Pa., two of his cows
and five of his hogs had been bitten by a
mad-dog, and that he applied the remedy
to the cows and four of his hogs and they
recovered entirely, while the fifth hog, to
which he did not ap ly the remedy, in or
der to satisfy his mind fully as to the
merits of the Medicine, was seized with
hydrophobia and died a horrible death.
Such a remedy as this, for such a dread
ful disease, should be made known far
and wide.—Maryland Union.
&nom,Ecrons.—lt is perhaps not
generally known by sehoul directors that
an act was passed two years ago by the
Legislature of this State, making it obli.
gatory upon directors to publish yearly
the receipts and expenditures of their re
sptctive school districts. Without aco rn
pliance with this law, taxpayers may with
propriety refuse to settle their school tax.
It would be 'well for school boards through
out the county to bear this in mind.
