ed by the receipt of $675, with the accom

have been haunted with this grim spectre
of guilt. I vowed to God that I would

enough. Thank Heaven, I have earned

A. bill of some importance was passed
at the close of last week by the House
of Representatives, relating to the public
lands. It gives a quarter section of land

trees, and kept them in good condition,
and it reduces the term of resideneq re•
quired of a homestead settler by two years,
where one-eighth of the land has been
planted with trees and cultivated. In the
course of the debate—a very interesting
one—it was stated that within fifteen
years, at the present rate of cutting, the
land in the United States now yielding
trcea for heavy timber would be entirely
stripped. The bill is a modification of an
existing law. It shortens the time from•
ten to eight years. but allows the trees to
he planted ten acres each year, and reduc
es the fees $24.t0 $l4. The bill is asked
for by a very great number of petitioners, '
and Western menbers say the privileges
it gives will be touch appreciated.

Ex.Ectarox or' DAVlS.—Josepb.
W., Davis, murderer of Abraham Lynn,
was banged at Westminster, on Friday to
The-following-acoount - of - the — en=
cation we copy from the Hanover Herald:
The gallows was erected in the jail yard.
by Mr. George Less : it Was 21 feet high
to the platform and 30 feet to the beam.
The platform was 16 feet square and
reached by a flight of 29 steps. The
height' of the gallows afforded a fine view
to the crowd outside the jail yard. _
; e : . &To ""
Westminster, and as early as nine o'clock
the vicinity of the jail was thronged with
an excites crowd to witness the execution.
Shortly after noon, after religious services
in the cell, Davis was led to the scaffold,
escorted by his spiritual advisers, Revs.
Cremer• and Richarnson,, the sheriff, two
ex-sheriffs, and two reporters. On the
scaffold, Davis faced the • vast concourse,
and made an address of three or four
minutes, stating, that he stood there ac
cused of murder, that he was guilty, and
had confessed, end that his confession
would he published for the benefit of his
sister. He called upon all to take warn
ing from his sad fate, and declared evil
associations had brought him to the scat
fold. Then he bid all farewell, and hop
ed to meet them in the next world. He
then turned to shake bands with those on
.t e sea o wu en many in the crowd cal
led out "Good bye, Davis."
.SheritrDevilbiss now adjusted the white
cap and placed the noose' about the neck
of the condemned man. Then walking
slowly down the steps, he touched the le
ver, when half-way down, and Davis was
swung off into Eternity. The body fell
about öi feet. Death was not instanta
neous, there bein _ man contortions of
the body and shoulders. After banging
15 miuutes, the . body was lowered, and
life-being-extinct r it—war — cut dowi
placed in the coffin, ,a handsom black
walnut case, with silver plate and han
dles, the upper-balf of the lid being glass.
The coffin was placed in his cell, where
hundreds of persons viewed the remains.
The countenance was pale, but showed
o_signs_of_a_violent death.
The crowd that witnessed the scene was
large, and the behavior such as is usual
at Fluidic executions. Many were drunk
and laughter, oaths and cries filled the
air, while they were waiting for the exe
cution. Fights were frequent. The whole
scene was an argument against public
•
executions.
Becoming convinced there was no hope
of escaping death upon the gallows ; Da
vis had made a full confession of his guilt
to his spiritual adviser, Rev., Mr. Cromer,
and also to sheriff Devflbiss. Ho ac
knowledged that he killed Lynn, and sta
ted that on the morning of April 5, 1872,
they had' some difficulty. While Lynn
was in a stooDing position and examining
the bin to discover a leak. he said to Da
vis 'I told you to repair it this morning."
"I did," replied Davis. "You are (with
an oath) a liar,' 4 replied Lynn. Davis
further says: "I then kicked him in the
side of the head, which stunned him, and
as he attempted to raise up I struck him
several times with a cooper's adze, and
and then threw him into the bin." Shue
who was tried as an accessory is entirely
exonerated by Davis.
It is claimed that Davis did not know
that Lynn had the money when he struck
the fatal blow. It is said he got the mo
ney afterwards, the wallet having fallen
from Lynn's poeket acid been carried up
stairs with wheat by the elevator. If he .
had not touched the money, but allowed
it to remain where he alleges it had been
carried, there would no doubt have been
a strong point in his favor, which would
have cleared him and saved his neck
from the gallows. The money lost was
the motive for the murder, which had its
weight. Otherwise the mystery of Abra
ham Lynn would still exist. He could
not resist the temptation to take the money
when he found it, if he did not kill Lynn
for the plunder. He spent only part of
the money.
Itzsortnass.—The following resolu
tions were passed at the recent Wash.
ington township Republican meeting:
Resolved, That the President appoint
a committee of five persons whose duty
it shall be to ask the Legislature to pass
a law that will allow any citizen to pre
sent a petition in Court for the appoint
ment of road or bridge viewers, and also
to get administrators, executors or guar
dians appointed and that they may be al
lowed to settle their accounts ; and that
any person be permitted to sue for and
collect a book account, note, judgement
or kin without being compelled to pay
au attorney a large fee for doing it for
him.
Bemired, That the -newspapers of the
county be politely requested to publish
the forgoing.
Since the salaries of judges have been
increased would it not be right to require
them to audit administrator, executor
and guardian accounts, and thus save the
epense of having an auditor to do it.

ROBBERY.—According to a statemeut
in the last Inquirer, a - bold and success
ful robbery was committed in Bedford
county on Sunday evening the ast last.—
Four men with blackened faces and armed
with ctubs entered the house of Mr. Hugh
B. Wertz, where he lived with a • maiden
sister. They were both beaten, Mr. Wertz
until he was senseless, and then tied.—
The house was ransacked. Miss Wertz
lost four hundred dollars in United States
bonds, six hundred dollars in greenbacks
and a lrZrge amount in gold and silver.
The brother lost considerable. It is sup
posed the robbers were strangers and
passed through Cumberland Valley into
Maryland. Two valuable horses were sto
len the same evening from John J. Wertz,
it is believed by the same parties.
EfarA Harrisburg correspondent of
the Shippenshurg Sentinel says Mr. Butler
of Cumberland county, has introduced a
bill in the Legislature repealing the local
option law and enacting in its stead a
stringent hotel license law. Hotel keep
ers are not to'have less than six bed rooms
and twelve beds, and stabling for six
horses. Heavy penalties are imposed for
selling to minors, on Sunday, and to in
temperate persons. The license fee is to
be regulated by the amount of yearly
rental. No license to be less than $2OO.
Bond of every license $2,000. All bar
rooms are to be above the surface of the
ground.

point in Congms when he said what the
country wants is not tr . tore currency but
better. Such solid chunks of financial
wisdom don't drop out of Congress very
often. '
HOW 41LEY CLOSE DRINKING SALOONS
nr Omo.—The women who are conduct
ing the payermeeting warfare against the
Ohin saloons show the • sagacity of the
Scriptual serpent. A few men still bid
them defiance; and refuse to , shut their
doors to customers or open them to mis
sionaries. To conquer these last strong
holds of Satan the teetotalers have had
a "tabernacle" built. It is a small house
on wheels, comfortably warmed and light-
ed. This they - pitclrbe ore e enemy's
doorway, and sing and pray within it 4
walks ad lib. At night, when thirsty mor
tals try to skulk stealthily into the saloon,
the rays of a powerful reflector, detect
them. They are personally appealed to,
and if they still enter are made the ob
jects of special prayers, which, delivered
in fervent tones, ring through and
through the bar-room. The tabernacle
remains until midnight, and re appears
bright and early nest morning. No man
is yet been found who .can resist it for
three days.
