Another Traltedy-two wen mur
dered by a idarillatt.
A double murder was committed last
week near Woodbridge, Conn., liy Charles
SaNfocil, an insane man, whose nephew
is toic of the Waketnanitea who was ar
rested on suspicion of the recent murder
of Mathews. Sanclford'e first victim was
Enoeh Sperry, brother of N. D. Sperry,
Secretary ofltate. The 'maniac chopped
off his head with an axe, while he was rid
ing home in a sleigh. The second victim
was !chatted Umberfield. a farmer, idiom
Sandford tilled with an axe in his own
house.
About 101 o'cleck on Monday, Mr
Enochr Sperry, of Woodbridge. , left his
home, and was proceeding through a piece I
of woods near his honse, with his horse
and sleigh, and, when • near a little brimk,
in a 'toiletry part of the woods was attaelt
ed by Sandford, and knocked down and
most brutally, murdered..
Sandford had.an axe in hie hand with
which he struck Mr. Sperry.over the right
eye, inflicting a feartnl gash. and pmstrit
ting him beside the road. Ile then struck
him again with the head of the - axe upon
the back of hie head, and then deliberately
attempted to chop oft his head, neirly sev
ering it front his body. It was connected
with his body only by a little skin at the
bank of the neck. -
'fhe horse of Mr. 9;ierry was allowed
to pass on the read, and atter proreeding
by the honse of Mr. Slam! F. Perkins,
halted at * shed near by. Mr. Perkins
thinking all was not right, went in search
of Mr. Sperry. and found his body lying
, he
the road, with every indication that
he had been waylaid and murdered.
Mr. Perkins alarmed the neighborhood,
and having procured. assistance, took the
body Of Mr. Sperry to his tinnily. who live
only a about hundred rods from the place
where the murder was committed.
In the evening the murderer was arrested
and taken to Jail, end confessed that he had
not only , murdered Mr. Sperry, but that
he also murdered Mr. Inhabud Umberfield,
who livedubout a mile'east of Mr, Sperry's
• house.
It seems' that alter murdering Mr.
Sperry. he wont to the house of Mr, Um
berfield and entered it. and while he (Mr.
Umberfield ) wasreitting by the stove in
:ht kitchen, he struck loin with the same
axe, with which he murdered Mr. Sperly,
and after breaking his skull, nearly sever
ed his head from his body.
The homily set up thecry of I' Murder l"
but he •told them to stop their noise or he'
would chop their heads-of also.
He went out of 'the house to wipe the
blood off his axe upon the snow, and while
he, was• out the family fastened die door
and prevented his getting in again.
He then went into the weeds, but. as
soon pursued by several neighbors, who
`succeeded in - arresting him afters& bloody
fight, in which Mr. Lucius Doolittle
- came near getting, killed. • - • .
jury of inquest wait cmpeneled anti re
turned a verdiot that;,llr. Umberfield came
o" his death by wounds inflicted in the
head and' [leek by Charles Sandford of
Bethaey.
This Charles Sanford is a fanatic, who
his formerly aitended the meetings ofthe
Wat.entanites in Hamden. He is subject
to fits of insanity, and was probably in
sane when he committed these dreadful
murders.
He• coniessed having murdered 'both
Mr. Sperry and ,Mr."Umbeifield, while oo
the way milli!. He said he had a cramp.
and if he had not murdered Mr. Sperry
and Mr. Umberfield, the cramp would
have killed him.
Uenberfield was a man seventy•one
years,ol age. and' Mr. Sperry Was Sixty
nine years old.'
Mr. Sperrv,was a man, beloved and re.
apected by. all who knew him. He was
•the father of Hun. N. D. Sperry, Bowe•
tory ol State. •
SErrriarENTAhtsst.—Miss Swissho m,
in noticing the publictition of a new love
tory, says ; • .
."MI that stuff about woman's love, has
been Said over and (iv& again a hundred
thousand tintes,to the. great detriment of
the best , interest of humanity. There is' '
no kind of necessity, for , using the press to
persuade silly girls that it is very remade
and womanly to love a seoundrel—to leave
her affections unguarded by reason or ex
perience, and drift helplessly into sin,
shame and despair, as an evidence of her
,unsuspecting womanhood.
gilt is not -true that, woman's affections
are any stronger or more durable than
man's. We think the opposite is the case
end that two-thirds of all the women who
. pine away or die of love, do so for the want
of something Wier to do. Every thing
calculated to make love-sickness a femin
ine aqrirement is a great injary ; but to
strew thepath of the suicide with the flow
ers of poesy and romance, is in a high de
gree reprehensible.
"The best motto to guard young girls
through the mazes of love is, , Do right,
and trust in God.' A young girl who has
done no wrong, has little cause to mourn
over the fickleness of a pretended lover.—
Better he should change his mind before
than after marriage." • '
This is the best common sense we have
ever beard uttered upon-the subject.

ICrThe derangement in the mails by ;
reason of the recent snow storm has left 3
us without definite intelligence as to the'
doings . of the Legislature during the past
few days. The organisation of both Hou
ses has been completed by the election of
the following officers :
SENATE.— Wm. M. Fiats, Speaker ;
Thomas A. Itlaguire..Clerk ; Henry Petti

There was a spirited contest in the La

ended in a compromise, the latter being

following as Chairmen : Finance—Mr.
Buckalew ; Judiciary—Mr. Wilkins ;
Corporation—Mr. Browne ; Banks—Mr.

NO SPEAKEIL—The Howe of Rep
resentatives at Washington is still with
out a Speaker. The . relative -Ales for
Banks, Richardson, and Fuller. being with
out material change. Neither party seems
to be disposed to yield, and there is no
possible indication as to the final re
sult.
On Wednesday the parties were brought
up to a more earnest struggle than ever,
by reason of a pravions• determination of
the Richardson men in caucus, to stand by
their candidate and to vote against all mo
tions for adjournment until a Speaker is
chosen. The Republicans determined to
do the same. The House was still in ses
sion at 12 o'clock on Wednesday night,
apparently as far from effecting a choice as
ver.

Unchanged. The peace rumors, however,
are more definite, and France and Eng

Russia Las not, though an ambassador has
set out but to negotiate with - her. The
fall of Rare is confirmed, which, with the
surrender of 16.000 troops and other at
tending circumstances, is a serious loss to
the allies.

and pledging themselves honestly to per

imposes ;----stating that the convention
considers the government under the most

the Continental Congress regarding the

petition earnestly the present Congress to

providing for the declining - Years of the

That pensions for wounds orinjyries should

to the widow or surviving children.. That
the bounty land act of 1855 should bo a
mended to embrace the children of any
person who, if living, would, be entitled to
land under that act as well as his minor

years and served until they were discharg
ed or disabled ought to receive 160 addl•
tional acres. That the pensions of they
present law should also be extended to
those confined in foreign prisons during
the late war. And 'ivasmuch as many
rolls in the war office were destroyed by
i fire, it is unjust to refuse parole proof, and
require record evidence of service. That
the limitation of fourteen days in the exist

law ought to be repealed, and that the
soldier duly enrolled, for a time hciwever

RELIOIOUS „INTOLERANCE, IN Russia.—
No associations for religious purposes are
tolerated in Russia ; no printing presses
are permitted to print. the Bible in the ver
nacular tongue of the people; no versions
of Scripture in the only language the mas
ses can understand,are permitted to cross
the frontier. It is stated that there has
not been a copy of the Bible in Russia,
printed in that country, since 1823. Col
porteurs, Bible agents, tract distributors,
find as little favor with the bigoted Czar
as so many Red Republicans. Even to
the two millions of Jews concentrated in
this empire, not a copy of the Old Testa
ment in their native Hebrew islpertnitted.
No Christian missions to the most barbar
ous and distant tribes under his sway, are
tolerated. The inoffensive and pious Mo
ravians, permitted to pursue their charita
ble work everywhere else, have been dri
ven from their labors in Russia.—Mis

LOCAL ITEMS.
WOOD WANTED,
WEwant a few cords of good Hickory
Wood. Our present supply is about
being exhausted, and the idea of being with.
out a good fire with the mercury below zero,
is not a very comforting one. Will some of
our friends send us in a few cords at once ?
SEVERE WEATHER.—During the past
week we have been favored with intense cold.
On Monday morning the mercury stood at 7°
below , tern at sunrise, and on Wednesday morn
ing it went down to :76i° below The day
thrOughotit was very cold, the mercury at •no
time rising above 3° and falling again to 10°
below zero at'nine o'clock. Yesterday morn
ing the mercury stood at 6° below zero, and
this morning at 1° below zero. Wednesday
was the coldest day in this region for a num
ber oryeare.
e Tha successive falls of snow, and the keen
temperature prevailing through the week, has
furnished superior sleighing, which seems to
be keenly enjoyed. The sleigh bells have
been jingling merrily through our streets night
and day. For ourselves we find it - difficult to
escape the chilling influences of the "Frost.
King," even by the side of a blazing fire.—
Wo don't generally except to cold weather but
the sample furnished us during the past week
will answer for the present.
I:ED—Tuesday last was the anniversary of the
battle of New Orleans. It was honored with
more than usual attention In this place. The
day was ushered in by the ringing of bells and
discharge of cannon. The "Independent

ied by their field-piece, parading both alerting
and afternoon. We were pleased to notice
a considerable accessionto the ranks. We un
derstand that the company intend to adopt n
handsome plume instead of the pontoons now
in use.

MISS BLINKLEY'S BOOK.—A copy of
this long expected publication has been laid on
our table, entitled "The Testimony of an E
scaped Novice." Miss BUNKLEY, it will be re
membered, made her escape from the Convent
near Emmitsburg daring the past year, under
circumstances which attracred considerable
attention. The Mother Superior of St. Jo
seph's published a letter, shortly after the
escape, contradicting some of the representa
tions of Miss BIiNKLEY, and thereby raising an
issue of veracity between them. This work,
we are told in the preface, is the result of the
issue thus raised by the Mother Superior, and
purports to be a plain, unvarnished story of
Miss BUNKLET'S personal experience while an
inmate of the Convent, her escape, and subse
quent incidents. It is edited with mtfch abili
ty and with an evident determination to guard
against any suspicion of exaggerated or false
narration. There is an absence of startling de
velopment in tits hook, which will probably

Bina lIRB. EDITORS r—A part from the super )
human felicity of a sleigh ridO with a lively
company of ladies and gentlemen, there is al
waya something necessary to afford pleasure
and amusement at the place of destination.—
We most happily found this to our taste on a
recent sleighing excursion to Emmitsburg,
in the entertainment afforded at "Devit's Ho
tel." The House is commodious, and every
attention bestowed upon its guests by the pro
prietor. The table is plentifully furnished
with rich viands and graced with the presence
of very agreeable boarders. During the even
ing musicians were procured and all Joined, in
the "merry, merry dance." Thus passed the
evening of the Ist day of the year amid song
and dance and social chat, until the "wee,
small hours o' the night" bade us end the
glee. Deeply impressed with the sincere hos
pitality of our kind hostess and the ladies of
Emmitsburg, and with a desire to reciprieute
the favor we gave them a hearty good night,
were cozily seated in our sleigh, and,altnost in
the crack of a whip were landed in •

A BUSINESS SKEW!! OF A BUSINESS
MAN,
We copy the following sketch of the life of a
very extraordinary man, from an editorial in
N. Y. Sun :
"As an illustnoion'or business tact and talent,
we ratty point to the career of Profess. r Hine
LOWAT, the proprietor of the most popular
medicine of the ago. The rise and progress
of this extraordinary man have had no parallel
during the present century. He has visited
nearly every Court of Europe, and obtained
permission for the sale of his preparations
from most of the crowned heads of the Old
World. The queens of Spain and Portugal,
the kings of Naples and Sardinia, granted hint
audiences; and in St. Petersbnrg, which city ho
visited a short time before the commencement
of the war, he was treated with marked consid
eration by the late Czar and the nobility. .
"Travelling in an elegant private carriage,
attended by a courier, his equipage attracted
attention in the towns and villages through
which he passed. The hotels where ho lodged
were besieged by persons of the first distinc
tion, and the best society on the continent cour
ted his acquaintance.
"The subject ofthese remarks is unquestion
ably an ambitious man, and his skill and en
terprise have placed him far in advance of al l
hiS predecessors and contemporaries in the
same profession. He stands alone ; and tho
fact that he can maintain his high position, des
pito the interested assaults of envy and pre
gumption, proves that his medicines have . an
intrinsic value, which the world understands
and appreciates.

Execution of Fredrick Miller, at'
Cumberisind,
This wretched mall, who was eenvicted
of the double murder of Dr. .1. F. C. Ha
del and. Henry Graeff, in October near
Cumberland, paid the pen ally of his crime
at that place on Friday last, between
twelve and one o'clock, in the presence of
about 8,000 persons, of all egea and both
-sexes. Although he hut promised ,to
make a full confession of his life, he dog,
edly resisted all aolicitation in that direc
tion during the lost few days and on the
gallows denied being guilty of the crime
for which he.wois to be hung. The Cum
berland papers furnish fall particulars of
the execution and the bearing of the pri-
rsoner.
During Thuraday morning entl evening
he was visited bye large number of per
sons, conversing•witii them freely, still at
tunes - protesting his innocence of the crime
of murder. He stated that lie was born
i
Sept. 30. 1830, in Wickerstlorff,
many, and came to this country in June
1855, but four months before the murder.l
He requested the Rev Dr. Maier his spirit
ual adviser. to,administer the sacrament to'
him on Weduesday,but the latter declined
doing so, stating to him that, under the
circumstances, he would not feel justified
in so doing; as he fully believed hue guil
ty, and could not, therefore. grant the re
quest except subsequent to a confession!
on Isis part. Miller exhibited rather hos- I
tile feelings to the reverend gentleman fort
denying this request, and declared that li e !
would take it Minseif, unaided, if they
would furnish the necessary materials.
During the day lie had been freely con
versing with Mr. John Callan, the deputy
sheriff, and Mr. Wm MeGitting, the jail•

former as to whether there wan any lay.

COLONIAATION IN AFRIOA.—Tho Great
Inner Sea of Africa, twice as largo as the
Black Seav including Azof, the existence
of which Cooley, the African geographer,
argued for long ago, and the discovery of
which had been previously announced, has
been further verified by explorations ; but
the sea is not so remarkable as the people
in its neighborhood, who are said to read
and write ; have .no idols ; are generally
serious, aid, sensible people, and profess
to believe in God, and have no tincture of
of Mohamedanism. From whom did they
learn these things, or ie it a traveller's
story ?
PVESIDIINTIAL MovestENTa.--The

inst., in Mississippi while on the Bth it'
will be recollected, thel National Democrat.
le Committee assemble in this city to de
termine at what precise time the Chicln
nen' Conirention shall come together.—
These facts have caused a terrible commo.
tion'aniong`the Democratic politicians of
all shades now assembled in Washington.
Very little is seen of -it on the surface of
things, but there is already a heaving to
and fro underneath, which must shortly
result in a great bubbling and seething
on the surface, It is now very certain
that there will be at least four gentlemen
prominently urged for the nomination—
Mr. Hunter, of Virginia ; Mr. Buchanan,
Mr. Dallas, and last, but by no means least
important in hie strength beim the Con
vention, President Pierce, for remomina
lion. All of them have advocates among
the Democratic members and • the nu

McCracken's Invaluable Remedy .
FOR TUE RESTORATION a PRESERVATION
OF THE HUMAN HAM
AI FTER many. years of- laborious research
and experiment, I have . the gratification
to announce to Chosen( the public who may be
afflicted with baldnem or premature I vey hair,
thatl have succeeded in the preparation of an
article that is an infallible remedy for either of
these disorders.. For a consiterable length
of time I have been in the habit of using it up
on my own elastomers, and in no instance has
it failed to render tbe most entire insight:that.
Having long entertained the belief that, in a
vast majority of eases, Baldness and prema
ture greyness *ere induced by disease, or want
of vigor and vitality of the scalp, rather than
being the necessary consequence of mete ac
cumulation of pears.
My whole attention was directed to the iris•
emery of some preparation, which, by remov
ing the dandruff and other foreign matter
which, in spite of the utmost precaution, will
collect upon the scalp, would marine ,this
part all its riper and vitality, and thu?remove
the great cause of both these diseases. In
offering this preparation to the public, I have
full confidence that it will not disappoint the
expectations of many who may feel inclined to
give it a fair and impartial triaL •
.It more ef
fectually, than any other preparation, removes
the, dandruff and - cleanses the head, thus re
moving all obstacles to the growth of a new
and luxuriant crop of hair. For the. prema
ture grey, it restores to the hair the free arm
lation of its natural fluid, and, in an almost in
credibly short time, bring s in it its natural
healthfulness and color. Although this prep
oration has never been brought before the
public through the medium of adrertiang, yet
by its own inherent virtues, it has won its way
into favor in many of the counties of this and
neighboring States. At the sailieilation of
many of .my friends and patrons who hare
been benefitted lir it, I have beed induced to
give it to the public, and in doing this, I do it
with theconedent assurance that any :homey
try - it, will find it to passers all the merit claim
ed for it.
a good and fine lipid of hair.
