'The Scientific American publishes a

Peter's at Rome, St. Paul's London, an d
the Pyramids of Egypt, will "look like

hundred and fifty„feet at the base, and
thirty at the top, with a spiral stair case
for the use of any one who is foolish e

iteV'The rascality of the Post Office
Department is exposed by the Postmaster-
General in his report. He says:
"During 'the year, 802 persons were
arrested for various offences against laws
and regulations._ Of these, 93 have been
convicted, and, of course, sent for longer
or shorter periods to state Prtmas and
pen iteutiari, and have thus had their
characters among men ruined, and all
iheir prospects blighted. Twenty have
been acquitted, 198 are awaiting trial, 95
giave 'been discharged for want of proof
imfricient to insure. conviction." -The num.
her of missing letters for the past year is
605, of which 3,980 were unregistered,
2,185 registered. The former contained
lxmds currency-, etc., to the amount of
$309,123.50. The latter, $70.421.90,

on the subject of receiving gifts:

A.--SPIRITETILL-SENSATION - IN — W - ESTER - N.
NEW YORE.—The spiritual excitement
or revival in the neighborhood of Roches•
ter, N. Y., seem to have culminated in
the case of Miss Eleanor Bonney, an a
dopted daughter of Mr. Preston, living in
or near the village of Avon. The story
in regard to this young woman is that
she had, since the beginning of last Au
tumn, constantly asserted that she would
soon leave her body and be absent sever
al weeks, returning finally to communi
eate_such news of the epiritnal world as
had never yet been given to man. This
prediction was renewed and dwelt upon
until her friends grew weary of the sub
ject. Finally, on the 11th of November,
she informed them the time had now come
and after some preparations with great
cheerfulness and composure, lay calmly
down, her breath growing shorter and
fainter until at 2 A. Ist., life appeared,en
tirely extinct: .
Six weeks have passed since then, and
still the body lies in Mr. Preston's house,
guarded and watched over by the little
circle of believers who still wait for the
re-animating spirit to return. In spite of
their 'care, the matter has now become
public, the coroner has been called, and
physicians have insisted on inspecting the
body. The ghastly description given
would seem conclusive as to its being
really a corpse, but still in deference to
title intente desires of the friends, further
proceeding have been postponed, and they
are still watching for the re-animating
body to rise again. Finally the Coroner
ordered a medical post mortem examina
tion, which after. some opposition on the
part of the friends, was completed, reveal.
ing the internal organs far gone into de
composition, but leaving the cause of
death still a mystery. Since then a spir
itualist medium has published a commu
nication; purporting to come from the
deceased girl, stating that at any time
during the six weeks she could have re
returned to the body, but delaying to a
longer time, she found herself unable to
re-animate the decaying frame. With
this explanation the believers appear to
be satisfied. Dear, dear
' MURDER IN PHILADELPIIIA.—God.
fried Kuhule, a German baker of Phila
delphia, was murdered on Wednesday
morning of last week, in the bakehonse,
by a German in his employ. The mur
derer robbed the house of fifty-five dollars
and attempted to kill Kuhule's wife in
her bed. He then fled, but has since been
captured by the police in a neighboring
lager beer saloon. The murderer was an
apprentice, known only as Fritz. Ku
hole was killed with a blow of a shovel
while engaged in leaning into a barrel of
Fleur, causing his death instantly. Fritz
then went into the room of his wife and
attempted to strangle her, but she awoke
and a struggle ensued. He heat and hit
her, and at* ockpowering her pushed
her under the bed, believing her to be un
conscious. He then robbed the bureau
of all the money it contained, and chang
ed his clothes in an upper room. The
murderer, who was captured calls him
self Frederick Heidenblut, and confesses
the crime. The money was found on
him:
LEGISLATURE.—The Legislature of this
State was organized on Tuesday a week,
with Butler B. Strang as Speaker of the
Senate, Russell Errett Chief' Clerk, and
Messrs. McAfee and Cochran Assistant
Clerks. Henry H. McCormick, of Alle-
gheny, was elected Speaker of the House,
and Wm. C. Shurlock, Chief Clerk.
The Governor's Message was delivered
on Wednesday. It is an able state pa
per, but our limited space does not admit
of its publication.
In referecne to the recent panic the
GOv. says ho will co-operate in any -mea
sure in which the legislatum may attempt
to alleviate the troubles of the working

WF.STERN SUBSCIIII3ERS.--WC have
some very prompt paying Western sub
scribers as well as some that are not so
prompt. Checks or P. 0. Orders from
the latter would prove very acceptable
just now.
Those patrons who had the courage
to risk a settlement of their accounts dur
ing the past couple of weeks, are entitled
to our special thanks. May we not hope
that others may become equally courag
eous and dare to perform similar feats.
FINE FURNITURE.-It will be seen by
reference to our advertising colums that
Mr. Jos. H. Crebs of this place has made
large additions to his furniture rooms.—
He claims to have the largest stock of
furniture ever before exhibited in our
town, enbracing all styles and prices.—
The public is envited to call and examine
his stock.
CALLED AwAv.—We failed to notice
last week that Mr. David Patterson had
been called to Pittston on acount of busi
ness engagements, and that his son Wm.
Patterson, had taken his place. The lat
ter will continue during the absence of
his father to pay the highest market price
for wheat. When not at the Mill he cau
be found at the Bowden House. .
THE WEATHER.—The spring-like weath
er noticed in • our last issue, suddenly
changed on Monday. Snow now covers
the ground to tho depth of several inches ;
the creeks and smaller channels are ice
bound,'and the angry howl of old Boreas
is beard without. This state of things is
calculated to shaken faith in all prophe
sies favoring an open winter. Weather
prophets will have look to their laurels.
BASK Mimerms.—At an election held
on last Tuesday the following, persons
were elected to serve as directors for the
ensuing year, viz: Daniel Mickley, sen.,
Alex. Hamilton, John Philips, William

DEBATE.—The Grange question was
debated by the Pikesville Literary &Cie
ty on Monday evening last. The ques
tion was—" Resolved that Patrons of Hus
bandry should be encouraged." The
question was decided in the negative.—
This is supposed to have settled the ques
tion, so far at least as that section is con
cerned.
OUT OF DEBT.—We understand the
entire indebtedness on Trinity Reformed
Church of this place was last week can
celed by the congregation. We further
learn that the builder, Mr. Elias Rothe,
of New Oxford, Adams county, on final
settlement, made a reduction on his con
tract of over $4OO. Such acts of gener
osity are not often met with among, con
tractors.

Ax IsposrrioN.—There is perhaps no
religious society in our county . more im
posed upon by "tramps" or vagrants, than
the Seventh-day Baptists, near this place.
In a conversation the other day with Mr.
Samuel Snowberger, Manager of the'So-
ciety, he informed' us that they had lodg
ed and furnished meals during twenty
nine days of December and January , to
sixty-eight persons of this character. The
two days which would make out the
month he thought would increase the
number to upwards. of seventy. These
people are notectfor their hospitality, the
rules of the society, we believe, not allow
ing them to turn off any , person who may
apply to them for longing or meals. This
seems to be very generally understood a
mong the class to which we refer. Con
sequently they are repeatedly called up
on to entertain the most unwelcome visit
tom who are not at all worthy 'of charity.
SPRING ELECTIONS IN FEBRUARY.-
Spring elections have heretofore been
held in March. Under the new Condi

otherwise improved in appearance. The
times considered, we regard the outlay
thus incurred as quite a venture on the
part of our cotemporary.
PERSONAL.-Mr. John S. Harper, the
popular Manager of the "Mansion House

ligu.We give place to the above more
-than merited "complimentary" from the
Shenandoah, Democrat, published at Wood

W. G. Campbell, eldest son of Rev. J. F.
Campbell, is Local Editor. Mr. Cf will
be remembered as one of the school boys
of our town some eleven or twelve years
ago. Judging from the local department
of the Democrat this interval:of time in
his case has not been misapplied.
tkrWaynesboro' boasts some of the
prettiest ladies in the county, marriage&
ble years ago. Why this continued state
of "single blessedness ?" Are young men
and "spry bachelors" too timid to ven
ture so simple a proposition as that of
matrimony? In view of this state of things
which is not confined to any particular
locality, a tax on all bachelors over thir
ty years of age, the funds to be applied
for the relief of indigent old maids, would
certainly not be out of place. The effect
would be, we think, to diminish in num
ber this selfish class of society in all cm
raunities. At best, they are only half
way members of society. Let the deficien
cy then be made up through taxation.

liar Oleomargarine is the name of the
artificial butter which, having had such
an extensive sale in London and Paris, is
now becoming popular in New. York and
Boston. There are two of these oleomar
garine factories in New York, one in
Fifth-sixth street and one in Twenty-ninth
street ; They produce daily: nineteen
thousand pounds, which, with' the pm
duet of other factories in the vicinity of
the metropolis, makes the yield more than
tWenty 7 three tons per day. The buttes
is made from the yellow, tasteless and
odorless oil that is obtained from beef
suet. This oil is placed in churns, with
one-fifth its weight of sour milk, and
churned until an emulsionis formed, an-.
atto being added to give it the required
color. It is then cooled and worked and
salted like common butter. It is estima
ted that four thousand tons (eight mil
lion pounds) of this artificial butter have
been consumed in this country during the
last eight months.

MASKED ROBBER9.-A robbery of most
daring and extraordinary character was
committed Tuesday 'night of last week,
at the house of Mr. Wm. K Soutter, in
West New Brighton, near Sailors' Snug
Harbor, Staten Island. Mr. Soutter is a
banker of New York city, and his house,
which is very handsomely furnished, had
been left for the winter in charge of ser
vants, much valuable property, including
silver ware, having been left on the premis
es. The New Yortc. Sun says:
"The house was broken into on Tues
day night, the servants bound and gagged,
and everything carried away. A party of
masked men entered the house and after
binding the servants, including the wait
ing man, three girls in the service of Mr.
Soutter; and two others employed by
Commodore Osborne, who were spending
the evening with their 'friends, they ran
sacked the house, and being unable to
open the iron safe in' which the silver
ware was kept, blew it open with gun
powder. The stable was also visited and
the silver mountings removed from the
harness. They then took the gold heads
of two walking canes in the hall wan
tonly destroyed much property too cum
bersome to be removed, and quit the house
cautioning the servants not to make any
attemptto stir before daylight. Mr. &ut
ter carefully estimated * the total loss,
which he said is .upwards of $12,000.- 1
The pollee could give no clue, for the
servants could not describe the burglars,
and were uncertain as to the number;
some say there were eleven, others twelve.
ca...We were pleased to see, not long
since, in one of our exchanges, some pret

a continuous-coughing; which prevented
many from hearing' People who can
not refrain from coughing, had better stay
away from such places, or else take a bot

The importance of giving Sheridan%

muss BIRTHDAY.
"Wee, winsome Willie," as this is your
birthday,
I send you my love and a kiss;
And "many happy returns" I would wish ,
you,
If such a bright day as this.
Dear lithe boy, how I wish I could' guile'
you,
Over life's dark thorny way,
That never sorrow or care should betide.
you,
And life be one long perfect day.
Dear little hands! how I wish I could light
ten
The load that you maybe must bear;
Dear little heart! how I wish I could brigh
en
Your way through this world of sad care.
May the Good Shepherd who loves little
children,
Bless little Willie to-day ; •
Spare his young life to be useful and happy,
For this we trust Him and pray.
And when to manhood's estate he -has
geown,
May he be honored and wise,
Be a bright star in the pathway to glory
That glory that leads to the skies.
Or, if the shepherd in mercy should call
him
Ere the rough road has been trod,
Then we would know that our Willie. was
happy
With the good angels and God.
