Fisher & Meldurtrie's New Kill.
In six months after the stopping of the
old, al? new mill is operating. Well done
for Iluntingdon ! nod all credit to the en
terprising owners.
The farmers have now just what they
want—a mill in our town, which in all
seasons, wet or dry, cold or hot, can do
their work without delay.
With five improved Jonval Turbine Wa
ter wheels, this mill has capacity to do any
and all work at a few moments' notice.
Bring on your grain and you can take it
borne with you. for it will be ground while
you feed your horses.
The mill is a credit to our town, and a
great convenience to the citizens and far•
mere of this part of our County.
New loon FURNAVES.—We learn from the
Hollidaysburg Whig, that two new pig metal
furnace. have been erected at that place, one
by Messrs. WATSON, WHITE & CO, on the Gays•
port side of the Juniata River, and the other by
Messrs. Gardner, Osterloh & Co., on the east or
Hollidaysburg side. The first is called '.Mollsdaysburg Furnace," and the other "Clammy
Rock." They have both been constructed at a
heavy cost, and are of large capacity—capable
of malting from sixty to a hundred tons of nte.

EXIttAVAGA CO IN Duets.—ln a city in
Belgium extravagance has assumed such Mar•
ming proportions, that the ladies thedselves
have been obliged to combine fur the purpose
of arresting its disastrous progress. It ap
pears that extravagance had been for some
years, a source of constraint in families, and
it was noticed no marriages were contracted,
since the young men. frightened at the bills
that loomed up in thetlistanee, preferred to live
in celibacy. In oar hapt y cowry we can afford
to dresi our wives and sweethearts well, and
"save money in the bargain," by procuring the
material with which to make the garments, at
the cheap store of J. & W. sAyroN. •

• A SINOCEMI Cessr—Dr. Michael Price
Moore of New York was on Monday arrested,
for the third time within a few months, on
charges of having endeavored to hire persons
to murder Mr. Alfred L. Livingston of Tn.:,
ton, N. J., Joseph A. Hyatt was also arrested
as being implicated in the matter. The charge
is supported by an • affidavit of Miss Mary
Warden of Brooklyn, who deposes that Dr.
Moore proposed to her to take Mr. Livingston's
life and on her consenting, furnished her with
money to go to Trenton for that purpose. The
whole affair is a singular one.
0$ ' The Presbyterian Church in Canada,
in Synod assembled, has enjoined its Presby
ters to be careful in admitting to fellowship
Presbyterian ministers from the United States,
to examine them on the subject of slavery,
and to be satisfied before receiving them, that
their views accord with the restitution passed
by the synod in 1852 and 1853, asserting non
fellowship with slaveholders.

Nearly three columns of the Message
are • devoted to the discussion of the Ne•

the reader will discover is a mere rehash
of the party slang whang put f.irth in the

Conviction of a Murderer.
Hayt, the hoary scoundrel who murdered.. a
little girl of thirteen years some time since, in
Eric county. l'a., because she would not marry
Lim, has been convicted of murder in the sec•
mud degree and sentenced to the penitentiary
for ten years.
Ile hod persecuted her with undesired and
unwelcome attentions fir a year or more. lie
gave her many (awl some valuable) presents,
and assisted her father, who was poor, in vu
rictus ways. He constantly thrust his prey
cites and assiduties upon her, and importuned
her to marry hint. On the 7th of July he
presented himself at her father's house with o
revolver concealed in his pocket. The subject
of his suit again came up. She tool him that
she would not marry Lim—and as she said
thin, she closed the door between them, when
he sprang forward, drew the pistol and shot her
through the head. Her mother, who was pros.
eta, screamed and ran, stumbling over the
stove in her flight; and as she fell he shot at
her, but missed her. She ran lets the yard
he hollowed and shot at her twice, but she ea•
eaped without injury. Ile returned into the
house, and finding the girl still living, laid her
upon the lounge and shot her again in the
head.
The verdict is spoken of am a romarkalo one,
