the case of Sherlock, who shot a

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

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. Sent to any part of the country by mail. i

WARREN'S
IMPROVED FIRE AND WATER PROOF
COMPOSITION ROOFING.
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.

GREAT EXCITEMENT!
IT is an indisputable fact quit at the present time
there is much excitement existing all over our
country, and great men seem to be discussing the lin
portant subject as to whether the Territory of Non
. Bas shall be a free or slave State. 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.
