PATENT LOCK.—Our attention was the othcr_day_ealled_to a very ingenious = lock_fo out-door - buildings, of which H.

CANCER SUCCESSFULLY RR/MCI - - Ell—We are pleased to learn that our friend, Mr. JOHN Ross, who was a great sufferer for upwards of four years from a cancerous tumor, has had it successfully removed and is now comfortable and doing very well.— The operation, which -- was -themost 'e t cate'nature, was performed by Dr. I. N. SNIVELY assisted by Dr. FRA I VZ and media cal student A. J. SNIVELY. Mrs. TERRYADLE, whose left (mammary gland) breast was removed by the Dr. a few months ago because of the same disease, is well and able to attend to her usual duties. DTTLL.—Onr town has been unusually dull for the past week. Nothing has occur red worthy of note unless it be the arrest of "Jaka," the Jew from New York, for ex changing China ware for second-handed cloth ing without a County license. He had a bearing before Justice BENDER on Wednes day morning who rendered judgment against him for the amount of the fine ($50.00) and costs. Jake, not being minus of friends, promptly entered an appeal, so the matter will end before the Court, and the informant be thus delayed in getting his share of the . pocket money. STRUCK OlL.—The announcement a few days since that the Hopewell Oil "Com pany bad struck a fifty-barrel flowing well, has had the effect to agitate the "oil ques tion" among some of our citizens. The mer its of the "Hopewell," "Imperial," "Oil Creek and Gordon's Ran," etc., are being severly discussed, Altogether, there has been quite a revival of spirits among the "oil on the brain" portion of .our population. We trust "big strikes" are yet in .store for ull. FURNITURE &c.—We invite special at. te.ntion to the advertisement of S. MARTIN BLOOM; of Hagerstown in anothei column. We visited Mr. B's Ware Rooms last week and .was surprised at the quantity, variety and style of Furniture which he has on ex hibition. His stock is perhaps unequaled outside of the Eastern Cities. Persons from this section visiting Hagerstown would do well to call and examine his stock and learn his prices. SEEKING RELICS.-- , We understand several Baltimore rebel sympathizers visited this place recently from Monterey, and be ing told that Gen. Lee in 1863 watered his horse at the public pump on the Diamond have been tutting Chips from the water trough. Baltimore "Secesh" was this time mibinformed. The stolen horse which bore the old . traitor from an inglorious defeat through our town, owing to "pressing eir. pat:cabanas ) " was neither watered nor fed. IlEA.l.lllr.—An evidence of the pre vailing good health of our town and neigh borhood is found in the fact that we have iiiit;beeh 'called upon for several weeks to insert. a single announcement of death. As regards matrimonial announcements there is ikowise a prevailing Mirth. There must be " hard times" among our doctors and preaoh- era, indeed.

THE RETURN OF THE SNEAKS.— lire notice by our exchanges, • that in man localitiesdatge numbers of the' , skeedaddlers' who, sought escape ',from thei r duty to the Geveittmont, by a refuge in Canada, are jre• turning to their homes, believing, now f from all war over, thei are relieved; froth all responsibility for their crimes. In this they are sadly .mistaket. The law •of Congress explicitly declares that all such deserters, who failed to• return to their obniptinies 'or report to a Provost Marshal, within sixty days after the issue of Proclamation dated March 3d,.1865, skoctif foifeit theitriglits and franchises as eitizen& This law is-now in full force and operation : All deserters rho, have failed to report before the lit of May, 1865, have consequently forfeited their citizenship. It is well enough for the peo ple in the localities where these skedaddlers now seek to resume their citizenship, to re member these legal facts, and see that they are properly enforced,--liar; Telegraph: enses are A LIVING DEATll.—Describing the Dry Tortugas, to which place it is understood the government has sent Mudd, Spangler, Arnold and O'Laughlin, a contemporary says, in view of the magnitude of their crime, that a more suitable place of punishment for these conspirators could not lave been selected.-- The solemn roll of the waves of the Gulf; the silent and even ghostly air, or rather Want of air, on these lifeless coral reefs; the absence of every living thing save the alba tross and the shark; "the blue above and the blue below," in one unvarying monotony, save the unfrequent visits of the hurricane, which only addi terror to desoliktion—all these may faintly picture the far seaward home of those to whom the law and the tes timony have denied the boon of death. * HOLD THEM.—The touisvillo Journal makes the folloiing brief summary of the ar gument of the opponents of emancipation:— It could not be stated in a better form. We commend it to the, copperheads of this re gion: • "The an&amendment people seem terri- ItritpprehensiveTtnat T -unless-restrained - by 'the Constitution, they will inevitably marry Niggers. We havei all heard .of the noisy fellow, who, getting in a quarrel, cried out to those around him, "Hold me gentlemen, or I shall strike him." Each anti-amend ment man seems calling aloud in a similar spirit, "Hold me, dear. Constitution, or I shall marry a nigger as sure as you are born." But we propose that the Constitution shall stand--back-and-see - fair play." MARRYING.--A letter from Newbern, North Carolina, lays that a considerable num ber of young men whose regiments are about being mustered out—such as the 47th and 48th New York and 97th Pennsylvania Zou ayes—have made tip their minds to stay in the country'. There are too many eligible openings to be resisted.

RALPH. _Dr John Wentworth, lately Mayor of Chi cago, and in former days a leader of the West ern Democracy, in tv.,k ,, :peech addressed to a regiment of soldiers returned from the war, gave his views of reconstruction In the rebel States in very emphatic language: "Those traitors, who for foUr years have been fighting to subvert the Constitution, trample liberty under foot, and set up a gov ernment of their own with slavery as its cor ner-stone, now that all hopes' in that direction are gone, have set up a furious cry against the negro being 'allowed to vote. Of course— the negro is, and always has been loyal—he would vote the loyal ticket. If be were allow ed the elective franchise, all their beautiful castles,' all their hopes of future power would be at an end, lam in favor of letting'the colored man vote, for I believe a loyal 'rig ger' is a•botter man than a white traitor. rir The Ohio Copperheads are in trouble. At the recent session of the State Executive Committee, Alexander Long, . the notorious secessionist, introduced his States' Rights and Pro. Slavery doctrine as the platform of the party at the coming election: ' The plat form, which says that "white mastry and'ne gro slavery is, in the South the very best form of their society," was supported by a portion of the members of the committee, but was opposed by others, not on account of the principles proposed, but because it was not in order for the committee to dic tate to the coming convention.

In Rich mond she was still a sufferer from spasma— during one of which she was robbed of most of her money and personal effects. She came thence by river to this city, at which place she arrived on SatUrday. In the af ternoon of this day, while standing at the provost marshal's office, she was again attack ed With spasms, which came and went with such rapidity, that for several hours,she could not be removed.

Horrible Murder. The Three Murderers Killed.—We are in• formed that a horrible tragedy took place in Madison county, about four miles from Lon donOast—week—, but our ihforiran - t — c - ould - not give names. 'We recite this awful story as we heard it. A farmer sold his his farm to three men, who gave . $15,000 cash in part payment. In the evening he walked to Lon don, leaving his wife and child at home. Some time after a pedler, who had often stayed all night at the house, drove up and asked a permission to remain, but the farm er's wife declined, because it ,was doubtful if her husband returned that night, and she knew there was a large amount of money in the house. She remarked to the pedler, that if her husband returned he would prob. ably meet him. The pedler drove on, met the farmer and returned. As they approach. ed the house the farmer observed a light in a room in which he usually kept his papers, and remarked to the pedler that there were burglars in the betide. The pedler produced a pair of revolvers, and the two, stationing themselves at points where the burglars would probably attempt to escape, gave the alarm, and three men rushed out. The pedler killed two of them, when the third ran towards the farmer, who killed him. Upon entering the house, the farmer was horrified to find his wife and child murdered. When the bodies of the murder ers were examined, it was discovered that they were the parties who bad purchased the farm that day, one of them being broth er-in-law to the farmer.— Dayton Journal. A NEGRO PRAYER AT NORFOLK.—"We come to thee, 0 Lord, holding up our souls as empty pitchers to be filled from the foun tains of thy love. Did you not tell us, Lord, if we was hungry you would feed us? Did you not tell us, if we was, thirsty , you would give us a drink from the waters of•salvation? Did you not tell us, if we was poor, weak and needy, come unto me all ye weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest? Did you not tell us if we was patient you• would lead us out of all our troubles? And when the hour was come, as you raised up Moses to break the power of Pharaoh and let the people go, so you have sent us a deliverer; and while the good Shepherd was with us he led us over the wilderness, and folded the little biles •in his arms, and gave us to browse in the green pastures. But now, Lord, when his w3rk was done, you saw that it was come, and took him up higher and gave him a seat among the Archangels, where he pleads for us. And when any of us, are worthy wo shall see him where he is and embrace him. And the Lord will say, 'who be these ? And Abraham will answer, 'These be they whom I have brought out of much tribula tion from the house of bondage, and for whose sake I was killed 1'" A shocking act is 'reported as haring oc curred oo board the steamboat Armenia, on Thursday afternoon, on her trip from Albany to New York.

Gradually the col timn is increasing, and moving to the tropi cal regions. There the care of the overn ment is directly given and felt by the freed men. The slave masters having left for for eign lands, or having consented to what they dared not prevent—the liberation of their slaves—the colored race have at last a chance to work for themselves, and to show wheth er they.are fit for civil franchises. In the North no such chances are afforded to them. There the necessity for aid from them to put down treason is not imminent, and there their numbers are not so large as to demand from Government the duty of vigilant guardian ship. Thousands who would oppose the el evation of 'the negro to civil rights in the North, would sanction it in the south, first from their hatred of the traitors, and second, from their inability to deny protection and political equality to men who are essential to the production of the necessaries of life for all, and ready to offer their lives as a defence against treason, Harry Leslie has again crossed the rapids at Niagara on . a tight rope. lie appeared in woman's garb, night-cap, petticoats, &0., and for about fifteen minutes astonished his au dience by enacting orrtbe main rope, a drunk en scene, staggering, reeling, &0., with a per fect recklessness of life or limb.
