HORRIBLE MURDER.—The Martins
burg Da Indepenclept of Wednesday' a
week says
• Annie Butler' between 12 and 13 years
of age, daughter of Mrs. Butler' who. re
sides near little Georgetown, in this coun
ty, was found brutally murdered on Tues
day morning, in Cunningham's woods,
about 200 yards from the school house
on the road leading, from Jacob Seibert's
to Wm. McGary's. It . appears that on
Monday evening, as was customary, the
child was sent out to bring up the cows,
which run at large, and not returning,
search was made for her, and she was
franc ear —dT
limn( ear y on Tues• ay morning, as Ch.
scribed above. When found the body
showed evidence of the murder having
been committed the evening hefore: Her
head had been smashed in by a powerful
blow with a club.. The club, with which
the brutal deed had been enacted was
found near her body, covered with blood.
A coroner's jury was summoned, and their
verdict was that the child had come to
her death at the hands of some person or
persons unknown.
Dr. F. 31. Davis made an examination
of the body, but found ono evicence that
person.a . thongh tl e general opinion is that
was the object of the murderer, who be
coming alarmed for his safety by the
screams of his victim, silenced her by a
blow on the head . which produced her
death.
A colored man who had been seen to
enter the woods about the time the girl
left home was arrested yesterday morning
-on-suspicion-of-being-the-au thor-of-the
crime, but after an examination before a
justice of the peace he was released. It
was testified that the colored than had
was found, by a white man ; his boots
corresponded with the footprints of the
supposed murderer, and blood was discov
ered on the toe and instep of one of his
boots. As soon as the accused was re
leased he absconded, but the sheriff is now
after him, and iu all probability will suc
ceed in recapturing him.
A large club was found about one hun
dred yards from the place where the deed
was committed, covered with blood. The
man accused was usually very cheerful,
but after the murder seemed very much
distressed. The body was terribly bruis
ed, and the upper part of the head was
mashed into a jelly. The victim was a
poor but very much respected girl.
MoEnsTowx, October 13.—Tolliver,
the alleged murderer of Annie Butler at
Falling Waters, was arraigned to-day in
the Berkely County Court, at Martins
burg, Virginia. An examination was
waived by his council, and he A'vas cow•
witted for trial at the November term of
the Circuit Court. A great crowd filled
the court-room, and much feeling was ex
hibited. Twenty-three witnesses have been
summoned to testifY.thr the State, and two
witnesses have been summoned by the ac
cused. The prosecution rests entirely ou
circumstantial evidence, but it is said that
some of She facts which have been brought
out, tend strongly to prove his guilt. The
council for the State are Reuben M. Price,
Esq., State's Attorney ; Hon. Charles J.
Faulkner and E. Boyd Faulkner, employ
ed by the county, to assist in the.prosecu
tion. Colonel Ward H. Lamon- and H.

PETTICOAT SIM:OGLER.—On Friday
af
ternoon, Customs Inspector Chapman, at
Castle Garden, noticed that one of steer
age passengers, a woman, who was step
ping ashore, had a very peculiar and but
ky form and embarrassed gait. She was
taken by his order into the female search
er's room, when it was discovered that un
der her dress was concealed a large a
mount of jewelry, comprising watches and
trinkets. The underclothing, it is alleg
ed, with its appurtenances, weighed up
wards of one hundred pounds. Her lug
gage was found to be filled with dutiable
goods, and was accordingly seized. A
colleague of hers in► the smuggling enter
prise was also arrested, and turned out to
be her nephew, viz. Matthew Weidman,
who does business in Philadelphia and is
a resident there. The aunt, who also dwells
in• the City of Brotherly Love, said her
name was Catharine Jasper. They offer
ed Customs Officer Chapman a bribe of
$lOO after their arrest to pass them inside
the Castle Garden rotunda. The officer
took the money, and, instead of pocketing
it, paid it into the customhouse last night.
The amount of smuggled goods captured
is valued at 86,000.—X. Herald.

SUDDEN DEATii.—Rei. Joseph F. Rohr
er, a well known and highly esteemed min
ister of the German Baptist or Dunker
ersuasicu died suddenly at his residence
not far from Ringgold, Md. on Thursday
evening last ofheart disease. It appears
he had been Ailing for a few days, but on
the evening in question ate a moderately
hearty supper and retired to his room to
lay down and rest. A short time after
wards a couple members of the family - en=
tered the room and to their great sorrow
and surprise found him in a dying condi
tion. A few minutes elapsed and his spir
it had taken its flight. The*deceased Was
an earnest, devoted, christian, a kind
neighbor, and in all respects a useful mem
ber of society. As a testimonial of his
worth and the high esteem in which he
was held, his remains on Sunday were es
corted to the burying ground at Welty's
Church by thft largest funeral procession
perhaps ever assembled in that section of
the county, upwards of three hundred ve
hicles being in line of procession.
Elder Rohrer had been engaged in the
ministry about 25 years, and the last 6
years of his life held the important posi
tion of Bishop in his church. He was a
ged 63 years, 8 months and 9 days.
SAD DEATll.—Robert Patterson, son
qf David Patterson, Esq..of Pittston, Pa.
died at the Bowden House, in this place,
about 8 o'clock on Tuesday evening last,
after a few weeks illness of typho-malari
al fever. Young Patterson came to this
place a couple of months since to superin
tend his father's milling interests. Al
though he had not yet perhaps reached
his eighteenth year he was manly and
gentlemanly in his deportment, as much
so as though he had attained a much ri
per age; and was universally esteemed by
all with whom lie was in any way associ
'ated. The fact of his having been thus
suddenly cut down in the full vigor and
bloom of youth, has caused many a-sad
heart among his mono intimate acquaint
ances and cast a gloom over our village.
The grief stricken parents, who were at
the bedside during most of his illness, took
their departure for Pittston with his re
mains yesterday morning.
P. S.—Since the above was put in type
we have been requested by Mr. Patterson,
through a friend, to return thanks to Dr.
I. N. Snively, the attending physician,and
young men of the town for their kind at
tendons to his son during his illneSs.
THE ELECTION.—The election in our
town on Thursday passed off quietly, a
very light vote having been polled. At
the time we put our paper to press (Wed
nesday afternoon) the votes had not been
counted out, and we have for this reason
been compelled to defer giving the result
until next week. We understand 36 is
the Republican majority on the State tick
et. Mr. Mackey, the Republican candi
date fur Assembly was opposed by some
of his party on local option grounds, which
gave Mr. Welsh, his opponen, the unusu
al majority of 186.
In Quincy we understand the majority
for the Republican State ticket is 29. The
majority for
: White for Treasurer is 72
and for Welsh for Assembly 29.
A RAID ON RACCOONS.—The Gettys
burg Star informs us that on Chestnut
Hill near Centre Mills, Adanis county,
D. CALVIN PENSYL, shot and captured
five raccoons in one day. The young ones
were nearly grown and fat,. No doubt
Mr. Pensyl had a' quare meal or more on

I visited and spent several days with
the Seven Day Baptists at the far famed
Snow Hill, near Quincy, where I was re
ceived and treated very cordially.
It is known to all who are acquainted
with their history that they keep the last
day of the week as their Sabbath, which
they observe not only in refraining from
secular business, but also in their diet.—
I found at each of their meals on that day,
that bread; coffee and spreads were only
served to. sustain nature, which I much
admired, and consider worthy of imitation
by all Christians. Many who profess
christianity ignore the Fourth Command.

fed with the Bread of Life.
The society at Snow Hill was founded
between 70 and 80 years ago. Their wor
thy predecessors who believed, and faith
fully held forth thei proc 1 • ies, have
nearly all closed tbei eyes in death, and
gone to their reward, and the family once
occupying that spacious and commodious
building that was numbered by scores, has
become reduced to a Little Flock; yet
dwelling together in unity, so far as I
could learn, and ready to aid in every
good work, they responded liberally to the
Bible cause. I had the privilege of at
tending and participating in their Love
Feast, and witnessed their hospitality.—
The injunction given by the Apostle : "Be
not forgetful to entertain strangers," &c.,
is 'strictly observed by them, a s the beg
gar and wayfaring man there meet a kind
reception, and are fed at their table. I
saw the sleeping apartments with comfor
table beds fitted up expressly for their ac
commodation. At the day of Judgement
the language of the Savior may be ekem
piffled, in their final history, viz : "I was
hungry and ye gave me meat. I was
thirsty and ye gave me drink. I was a
stranger and ye took me in," &c. Matt.
25 : 42 and 43.
Their mansion farm consists of 160 a
cres of most excellent soil in a high state
of cultivat:on, studded with the beet vari
eties of fruit trees. They have also on the
premises an excellent flouring mill. The
mansion building is brick, with a large
number of apartments. Underneath are
several springs gushinglorth, as clear as
crystal, the water of a superior quality,
which if in the hands of some of the fast
men of our age, would probably be fitted
up as a'fashionable summer resort.
From thence, in company with my ex
cellent friend. Dr. J. Burkholder, I vis
ited the' oldest person in the county, Mrs.
Nancy Benedick,uear Quincy, who is now
in her one hundredth year. She is living
at the residence of her eldest son, Jacob
Benedick, who is also venerated with age.
The old lady has been in feeble health
for many years, and her appearance much
emaciated,, yet she has in a remarkable
manner .retained her mental powers, and
seemingly is devotedly pious, and I think
appreciated our pastoral visit. She ex

Williamsport Gazeette and Bulletin,
Wade was removed to an adjoining cell,
as it was feared 'that he contemplated
making an attempt to get out. He had
not been in the new quarters long 'before
he seized the water pipe and wrenched
it off when the water flowed rapidly.
Thinking to cool his ardor somewhat. •it
was determined to leave him alone for a
short time. He then broke down the
hammock, and securing a bar of iron
commenced, digging through the wall into
his old sell, and in alshort time had made
an opening large enough to admit a man.
The sheriff with several policeman, then
appeared, but brandishing a piece of iron
he defied that official to enter his cell.
After some parle)ing a rush was made
upon him, when he twas seized, thrown
down and secured. He was then hand-
cuffed and tied with an enormous rope,
somewhat on the principal of "doing up"
the Davenport Brothers, when it was sup
posed that he could not possible get loose
again: But, Davenport-like, Wade was
determined to show the officers a "trick
or two." During the niet, it is sure )sed,
he secured a broken tumbler, when he
deliberately went to work and succeeded
in cutting the rope that bound him and
released himself. Then by a desperate
°file 'he wrenched of his handcuffs, and
as if scorning to be encumbered with such
trifling things threw them out of the win
dow into the jail yard. Then he broke
from his cell, and was found roaming thro'
the halls of the prison the next morning
apparently a free man ! He was then re
captured and locked up again. 'Whether
he will perform another trick or two, re
mains to be seen.
He professes to have experienced reli
gion, and states that lie prayed fervently
last night to he granted power to free
himself from his banns, and his prayer
was answered.
THE AMERICAN .I).En.—We copy the
1
following from the aucaster Intelligen
cer : Some .of our rea ers may have notic
ed a rather singular okiug character on
our streets yesterday tiering the Philadel
phia Sunday papers Or sale. This man
who is now about 43 ears of age is known
as the "`American eed " a reputation
. .
_
which he has earned by his feats of ped
estrianism and running. .His real name
is Jackson„and he is well known to the
citizens of Philadelphia, particularly those
residing in the westet part of the city
where his face and gure are familiar.
He is of medium heigla, strong built, and
has black early hair.l
For more than twenty years he has
been engaged in selling newspapers, in
which duty he has by constant exposure,
rendered himself utterly indifferent to the
influences of the extremes of the weather.
Every day he gets his morning papers
and hurries through the city and around
the suburbs, often coming up the Pennsyl
vania railroad for ten miles on foot, deliv
erino•'' papers, long before they could ar
riveby any other means, and has estab
lished a custom along the line of the road
up as far as Bryn Maur, which depends
upon him for the earl morning papers.
He walks and runs onhe railroad track
with an almost incredible swiftness, and
the most marvelous s4ries are told of his
speed and endurance; He has several
I /
times been niatched o the race course
against time and it is 'd has laid wagers
to run ten miles au h r. He has a life
pass over the railroa and mounts and
jumps from trains w u going at full
speed. After he has fi fished th sale of
morning papers, he rus home, dresses
up handsomely and p afenades the most
fashionable thorough rs of the city in
the heigbth of fashion le style. He very
rarely carries up the ad as far as Lan
caster, and only got ere yesterday be
cause-by the detentio of the ten o'clock
train he was able to eet it and return
thereon to Philadelph .
