GOOD Awricrx.—We have tried the

an excellent article for that purpose. It
answers equally as well for harness as it
does for boots and shoes. Call at his
store room, Oellig building, and get a
box.
Curious.—Mr. G. V. Mong last week
exhibited to us a curiosity invithe shape
of au apple, second bearing, a, little larg

for fruit trees to bloom the second time,
but we have no recollection of seeing any
fruit produced as large as the specimen
to which reference is here made.
SNOW AND RAM—We had a regular
snow storm about noon on Sunday, which
was followed with a succession of rain
showers up to noon on , Monday. The
earth at this writing is thoroughly soaked,
and cisterns, eta., are full to overflowing.

to learn, however, that their suspension
is only tenapoTary.
Messrs. Frick & Co. have reduced ' the
number of workmen, and are now work
ing five days per week and eight hours
per day: We understand their orders
are ample for them to run full handed,
but, like many similar .establishments,
owing to the deranged state of financial
affairs, they are unable to do su, for the
preSent, at least. ,
THE NEW Ham—We believe the fin
ishing stroke was last week put upon the
Odd Fellows new Hall. In height the
building is full three stories. It presents
a handsome appearance inside as well as
outwardly, and certainly reflects tredit
upon the builders, the Waynesboro' Man

on the first floor, Trhich is to occupied by

' MURDER.—From the Harrisburg tel
egraph we gather the following addition
al particulars of the murder committed
near Middletown, Dauphin county, on
Friday a week, the victim being Mr. A
braham Behm :
Two colored men entered the barn and
came up behind him, one took the hatch
et and struck him in the back of the head
with it, while the ether struck him with
a club, causing, as one report has it, in
stant death, while another report states
that there was evidence of a fearful strut
gle.
The housekeeper noticed the men going
to the barn, and eta they remained an un
usually long time she suspected that all
was not right, and took the dinner horn
and proceeded to sound an alarm for the
purpose of notifying the neighbors. As
soon as the outlaws heard the sound of the
horn, they emerged from the barn and
proceeded to attack her, one throwing a
club and the other hurling stones at'her.
They then made their escape, and in
a short time after the neighbors assem
bled .and proceeded to the barn, where
they found Mr. Behm lying dead and
covered with corn cobs and other matter.
The most intense excitement was caus
ed among the residents of that vicinity,
and they turned out en masse with the of
ficers of the township and proceeded to
scour the country in search of the mur
derers. It is supposed that it was intend
ed by the colored men to kill all the in
mates of the house, and that all that pre
vented them from carrying out their in
tention was the alarm given by the house
keeper.
A despatch received at• the Mayor's of
fice says that one of the murderers was a
bout five feet eight inches in height, and
the other not quite as tall. The tallest
one wore a dark suit, a cap and light
shoes. The other was dressed in light pan
taloons, black coat (the coat being a rath
er tight fit) and wore a high crowned hat.
The club used in conjunction with the
hatchet, to commit the murder, was the
supple of a flail—that is, the heavy, hick
ory part. It was brought to Middletown
all covered with blood.
The deceased was unmarried, and resid
ed on the property on which the deed was
committed, with his brother (also unmar
ried) and the housekeeper. He was some
what advanced in years, and was held in
high esteem by his neighbors.
The 'parties were afterwards arrested
and arer.now loged in jail at Harris
burg. •
AMONG' THE QUAKERS.—CoIoneI E
vans the senier editor of the Milton (N.
C.)• Chronicle, in his recent perambulations
got among the Quakers of Guilford coun
ty, N. C. Here are his impressions :
"We attended the yearly 'meeting of the
quakers, hen in Guilford, last Sunday,
and it was truly a big gathering, Quakers
from all parts of the world being present.—
We heard' six men and four women
preach, and our idea is the sisters beat
the brethern preaching. There was pres
entl;o64 females, and of this numbes 802
got seats and the balance didn't. Of ba
bies there was assembled 158 mother's
darlings; - and'they were all beautiful—
in fact we have never seen-an ugly baby—
their innocence and purity make them all
pretty iiiour eye. Of this 158 babies, 76
of them made the welkin ring with their
screams. Wish they had all cried, be
cause it is the sweetest music on earth.
The Friends or Quakers were talking a
bout turning their large Chapel over to'
their school or college and building a
mammoth church in Greensborough. We
did not learn what they decided on.

:the manners and"oustonis iithabi
tante. For many months he has resided
at Santiago de Cuba, and on more than
ortesocession has: witnessed the ven
geance of the Spaniards at that'place.—
'Ms information concerning' the manner
in which the executions are conducted, is
of peculiar interest at this time. The city
of Santiago is on the southern side of a
gently sloping hill. •A narrow harbor is
strongly guarded at its entrance, and aft
terka'zig-zag course, opens-into a commo
diouS basin, where the vessels may lie at
anchor. On the shore the , city is situated.
. From the harbor the Calle del Theatro
leads into the centre of the city. At a
distance of,several hundred yards from
-the-harbor-is-the prison where the cap=
tives are confined. It is a low. gloomy
looking structure, only two stories high,
and is built of stone or granite. From
this place the prisoner often goes forth to
execution.• These executions always take
plan in the slaughter-house, about three- ,
fourths of a mile distant, It was there
that the Virginius' victims . ended their
lives. From the prison near the centre
of the city, the Calle del Theatre makes
a somewhat sudden curve. On the morn
ing of am execution, the battalion of vol
unteers are summoned at an early hour
from.. the barracks, and proceed to the
prison. The prisoners are led forth,
bound, and the solemn procession then
takes up its death march. In the van
are the musicians, -whose only instruments
are the drums, which are beat with a low
ominous sound and measured regularity.
The street leads out of the city •toward
the west, past the Hotel Theatro, the of
fice of the United States Consul, and fur
ther on, the office of the British -Consul.
Out into the suburbs runs. the broad, un
shaded street, and on an eminence, which
may be seen from every portion of the
city, stands the building where the vic
tims die. It is a low whitewashed struc
-tureofforbidding aspec E — an adobe house
with a steep roof, which projects far' be
yond its walls on either side. Around
this building is a trench, into Which the
`- , re from she fall. ft about tv-
waters from the root fait. _ about two.
feet deep. On the upper side of the build•.
ing the procession halts and forms a hol
low square, the prisoners in. the centre.
The side next to the slaughter house is
opened, and the victims are led to the
border of the trench. Here they are
bound hand and foot, though their eyes
are left uncovered. They are then re
cuired to kneel along the trench, with
faces turned toward the wall. In the
midst of the hollow square stands the
Colonel and the priests. The duty of the
spiritual advisers being at length per
formed, they retire with the Colonel, and
at a signal from the latter the whole com
pany fires. The unfortunate victims fall
forward into the trench, some dead, some
dying, others only slightly wounded. The
artillery force;.who have been stationed
in the background, now advance and
drive their clumsy carriages carelessly
over the victims. Several times is this
part dale ceremony repeated, and it is
by this time supposed that all are dead.
The dead wagons are then heaped with'
corpses, among which is sometimes seen
a still quivering body. A half mile away
they are buried, and the soldiery disperse
to their barracks.
The slaughter house is scarred and bat
tered with bullets on its northern side.—
Here are inhumanly slaughtered persons
cf all ages and both sexes. The Span
iards show no mercy to gray-haired pa
triarchs, to women, or to children. Three
Sears ago a little el four years old was
led forth to her death.
The offence was a refusal to make
known her father's hiding place. The
days of execution are gala days in . the
city. Huntireds,of men, women and chil
dren pour forth from its streets and press
forward in the throng. As the victims
fall dying in the trenches these crowds
push madly forward to view the bleeding
bodies, the military give way for a mo
ment, and not until that moment arrives
are the appetites of the bloodthirsty spec
tators satiated.
Vgt.The Baltimore, American says the
excitement over the Virginias affair is
abating, and "the seconed sober thought"
is beginning to show its iufluenie upon
the, tone of discussion. The thinking peo
ple of the United States, while they may
accept war as an inevitable necessity, cer
tainly do not desire any such termination
to this most unfortunate controversy.
The despatches which came by way of
London on Saturday, announcing that
Attempts had been made en the life of
Minister Sickles, have been authoritative
ly contradicted.' No insult has been offer
ed to Gen. Sickles, accept the howling of
a mob in, front of his house on Wednesday
night. The ruffians were promptly dri
ven away by the police. Equally untrue
were the reports of the bad feeling be
tween General Sickles and the' members
of the Spanish Cabinet. There has been
no interruption of personal or official in
tercourse, and the correspondence be
tween the two Governments has gone on
without interruption, and with the pros
pect of a peaceable solution of the diffi
culty, which will be entirely satisfactory
to the people of the United States. Still
our Government will go on preparing for
war, so that if we are eompeled we will
not be taken at disadvantage.

Push'd on with all their might
Clutch'd they their bank-book tight
Fagg'd out each man quite,
Anxious six hundred.
Finsled all their bank books bare,
Up to the bank they tear,
"Clos'd doors" they meet there,
Oaths ftll'd the murky air
And they all wonder'd.
Clos'd was the bank that day,

Still with bank books in hand,
But without greenbacks, and
Shatter'd and sunder'd.
