--=-- - Acquittal of Shurlock. the case of Sherlock, who shot a the since for hay ig.§ituation than in Pluladelp 1$ :o1 ing drugged his wife, and — M._ ..... had taken improper liberties with 11 - e7Tri_ ___ _ into Court on Saturday afternoon, between three and four o'Llock. While the jury was out, the anxiety and excitement had increased to fever heat. The usual formality of requiring the jury to look upon the prisoner, and the prisoner to look upon the jury, was -gone through with. The foreman was then asked, by the clerk, whether they found the prisoner guilty or not guilty." - NOT GUI TY !" was the reply. At 'the anno incethent of the verdict, the" prisoner becam much agitated, and the crowds of sdectators ij the Court room gave vent to their f:elings by clapping, stamping and cheer ing. One individual was taken into custody, by order of the Court, but In was afterwards released. The intelligence of tho verdict soon reached the crowd in the Square, and here, too, it was received with cheers. After the excitement had subsided, the friends of Shurlock congratulated him warmly, and he was soon afterwards taken home in a carriage. 'NE FALL or A Cntmeu SPIRE.—About two o'clock on Monday morning, the spire of the Chapel street Church, New Haven, yielded to the wind, breaking square off at its connection with a belfry, and falling to the sou th.west upon the roof of thO church. It broke through the roof, snapping one or two of the heavy trusses like rye straws,•dashing away the ceiling be neath, and depositing a mass of ruins upon the 'floor and galleries of the audience room. A hole thirty feet long. and some twenty wide. was made in the roof, while the whole central part of the ceiling was dashed down. The or gan loft and the pulpit end of the church were not injured, but the west gallery is much brok en, and the scroll works, doors and back of the pews in the body of the church are badly brok en and tarnished. It is supposed that nine or ten thousand dollars will be required to repair the damage, which must be increased by the snow which has fallen into the house. A SAD CASs.—ln theOldo Penitentiary there is a young prisoner, who entered about a year ago for sOm small offence against the laws. He was tr, eysEj t _upon which bled wi .n doctor made a forced operat - T7 I RI tally destroying the sight. The prisoner re sisted the operation until he was overpowered by the main strength of his keepers, and the cruel cunning of his physicians, by whom he was made stone blind for life. A few weeks ago the time fur which he was incarcerated ex pired ; but without friends, money, or sight, he chose to remain and wear out his days in that disgraceful solitude. The Legislature, upon learning of the outrage, referred it to a special committee of investigation. THE BIG OVEN. -A Mr. Berrien has in suc• cessful operation in Brooklyn a gigantic bakery, which can turn live hundred barrels of flour daily into a proportionate number of loaves of *cad. This cnorm ms production is effected by means of an ingenious machinery, which its nventor is sanguine enough to anticipate will supercede the ordinary process of baking, by supplying its with better and cheaper bread, a grent•desideratum in a country where with all its fertility of natural production, manufactured food' is almost the worst and dearest in the wOrld.—llarper's Weekly INTENSK COLD.-TllO New York Tribune - of Tuesday says: The cold of Sunday we think has not been equalled, in this region at least, within the present century. All along the northern fron tier the mercury went down ten, twqnty and thirty degrees below zero, and at Watertown, iu this State. the quicksilver froze up, at thir ty-seven below, while a spirit thermometer marked forty degrees below zero, or seventy-two degrees below the freezing point. The ". oldest inhabitant" is beaten'at last. He cannot recall the equal of the cold S mday of 1857. THE SPANISH QUARTERS.—The New York Times says, that on inquiring of Messrs. Bebee, the bullion brokers, we find that 24 cents will be paid for them for the Havana market: At the assay office over $lOO in Spanish quarters, van be deposited, to net full 23 ceints. The Post also says :—" Holders of Spanish quarters nee i not submit to the large discount of 20 per cent. created by the new act of Congress, for the bullion brokers will give from 23 to 25 cents for them, which they are worth commer cially, according to weight of silver." These arc, however, the quarters which are not clipp• at or bored, and on which the head and pillars are plainly discernable. REGISTERING LETTERS.—Grodey'S Lady's Book says :—" We have a word .to say about this abomination. Nino out of ten of our losses by mail, so far, have been registered lett", and in no instance has one of them been trde43 up. Is the thing not evident Rogues do not have to play the grab game. The P. M. General kindly points out to them, which letters have money in them, and they aro saved all trouble. We say, do not register your letters.", I=l TlAttEroorsn tH WINTilll.—Tho Auburn Ad vertiser says that John Ford, one of the eccen tric citizens of that town, declares he knows the weather is getting colder, because his feet aro so mtl4l warmer than usual. For two winters no * this man has gone bare-footed ! Ile says Ins feet are never cold. He wears shoes in the summer, but nothing can induce him to do so in the winter. young clerk undertook to commit sui• tide last week by shooting his daguerreotype. He was unsuccessful, however. This is the third attempt he has made on his life within the last three months.

When the telegraph wire shall connect the Old and New Worlds, our afternoon papers willTontain the London morning news, and we can know while taking breakfast, what Queen Victoria is eating for dinner. • fa The 'annual value of boots and shoes manufactured in Massachusetts, is estimated at $37.000,000 exceeding any other branch of manufacture. In the immediate vi2inity of Boston, there are manufacturers to the extent of at least $150,000,000 annually, and of this value added to the raw material by labor, can not be less than $75,000,000. SUDDEN DEATlL—Master Jacob llouscl, a son of Geo. W. Maisel. of our Borough. aged about 13 years, died 'on S iturday night last. We understand that he had been skating, and received an injury from a Ml. afterwards took cold and was severely attacked•with deferium and fevar, of whimh ho died as above stated. The death was sudden, and bring's . a great.af illation upon the family.—Easiontan. WONDERFUL, BUT TRUE, A few days since, Mr. Jas. IL Beadle, of Hunts ! villa, Alabama, called on us and gave us permission to publish fur the benefit of suffering humanity, the istontshing cure which had been effected in the case ti i s v ttie use of Dr. Hance 's Vegetable Epi leptic Pills. i e .. o• • n- that at the time his wife commenced using the medicine, .intteakauts so entirely prostrated, by the number of spasms she had undergone, as to reduce bar weight to DM lbs.— Since she has een taking the pills, she has entirely got over the spasms and has gained in weight and bodily health. She now.weighs nt least 200 lbs., and declares she is in better enjoyment of health than ever before in her life. Mr. Beadle also related the case of Mr. Harrison Lightfoot, of the same town, who has been entirely cured of the worst form of Ep ilepsy by these pills. Mr. Lightfoot's case was so bail that he never passed a week without having an attack, often falling down in the street. 110 has not i had an attack for more than n year. Mr. floodlit thinks that if the pills eVer fail iu curing a case it is for the want of a proper perseveranee on the part of the person in taking them, ns he feels assured from observation in the case of his wife, that if they are taken for a sutlielent length of time, they will cure any case.

Joseph Clewell, Allentown, Agent for Lehigh Co. yoult attention is respectfully solicited to the above method of.. Rooting, now much used in Philadelphia and vicinity, and which has been exten sively in use in many of the cities of the West, during more than eleven years past, during which time it has been tested under every variety of circumstances, and we confidently offer it to the public as a mode of Rooting unobjectionable in every important particular, while it combines, in a greater degree than any other roof in use, the valuable requisites of .cheapness, du rability, and security against both fire and water.— This is rapidly superseding the use of all other kinds of roofs, wherever it has been introduced, giving gen eral satisfaction, and is highly recommended by all who have tested its utility. Those roofs require an iodination of nut more than one inch to the foot, which is of great whantnye in ease qf fire, and for drying purposes. They are'offered at a price CollShi ',raidy less than any other, roof in use, while the amount of material saved, which would otherwise be used in extending up the walls a n d framing tUr steep roof, awn makes a still farther important re duction in the cost of building. Gutters may be formed of the same material as the roof, at much less expense than any other. In case of defect or injury, from any cause, there hi no roof so easily repaired. The materials beitig mostly non-conductors oh heat, no roof is so cool ill summer, or so warm in winter. Those wishing to use our roof, should give the rafters a pitch of about One inch to the foot For further in forination apply to Joseph Cluwell, at Allentown, our agent fur Lehigh and Carbon counties, who is pre pared to execute all orders at short notice. 11.

But I take plea sure in informing the people of Allentown and sur , rounding country, who desire to live a peaceful life, that I have just received from Now York and Phil adelphia a largo and heavy stock Winter Goods. I do not think it necessary to " blow" and "gas" about " 30 and 40" car-loads ns some of our neigh bors do, and of making people believe I can sell cheaper than -anybody else, because I belielkthat "honesty is the best policy." I must have small prolk on everything I sell, and so must others if they try to make an honest living, which fact is well. known by the public. I buy and sell for CASH, which with " many sales and small profits," however enables ma to sell almost ns cheap as similar goods me sold in the cities' 6.nd as cheap as the cheapest in Allentown. These are honest facts, and I invite persons to examine for themselves before making purchases elsewhere, which will no doubt convince theta of what I say. L. J.
