Our readers are familiar with the partic ulars of the recent murder of Mrs. Hill in Philadelphia. A correspondent of the wins cinnati Times gives the following sketch of the murdered woman and of her daughter and son-in•law, who are now on trial charged with the murder. Some years ago there lived in the city of Washington a woman (Mary E. Hill,) outwardly of respectable, almost sanctimonious appearance, whose business it Was to live by the weakness of women and the viciousness of men. Her elegantly fur nished mansion was a combination of brothel and gambling house, and proved to many of the brightest intellects of the land the gate to hell, leading to dishonor and death. The mistress of this pandemonium, although in famous in some respects, had some good qualities. She was benevolent and kindly to the poor and distressed. She was not mar ried, but she was the mother of a child, a daughter (now Mrs Twitchell) whose puta tive father was an officer in the United States navy. Mrs. Hill intended, after she had made a certain sum of money, to withdraw from her disreputable business and become a good member of society and of some ortho dox church ; for with all her wickedness she was piously inclined and strictly orthodox, and regarded with horror a freethiokeror an atheist. This may be absurd, but such com binations of wickedness and religion is by no means uncommon, : s the most shameless im morality is frequently found in connection with a devout belief in Christianity The business of this Washington woman being a prosperous one, she did not relinquish it.— Indeed, it is scarcely in human online no matter hew devotional its instincts may be, to give up a paying business simply because it is dishonest or injurious to society ; and so her daughter was brought up amidst as. sothations inseparable from the character of the hanso she dwelt in. It is true she was seat to Sabbath school and was a punctual attendant at church ; but she grew into wo manhood n'iwhited sepulchre' fair without but foul and loathsome within. Her beauty won for her the admiration of a respectable and wealthy man, named Martin, who, fasci nated by her good looks, and taking into con, sidcrat ion- her youth, and certain kindly traits of character, ilitiught in spite "of early asso oiations, she might, with proper care, devel op into a good, woman and wife, and so he married her with a• full . knowledge of her character. Shortly after this Mrs. Hill was forced by some unpleasant episode hastily to leave the city of Washington. She'took up her abode m Philadelphia, where her re sploetable • appearance; her reputation Fo r wealth, and hersegular attendance ut church attraote,d; this•tegaids of Mr. U ill,. a, rich ; ea centric, and miserly; but otherwise respecta ble old man; who ignorant of her former his tory, made an offer of" marriage; and was ne. cepted. The daughter, Mrs. Twitchell, whose .early traitiingtin:sriittrof aulonorable posi tion and' moral surroundings,: had asserted it. self, WIIS 'soon divorced from her husband, and wished to rejoitsr mother in heti new place of abode; but her mother's husband knowing the blittracter tiro - yew:lg woman, would. uot : permit ber.to become,au inmate cf his' bootie. She soon 'tat cted the adinira • lion of sipsosperpus young merchant, a mar tial ,man, with whom she lived. openly and unblushingly, to the great, mortification hod unhappiness of his wife and family.. oct23 tf WAYNESBORO', FRANKLIN COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, FRIDAY MORNING BY E.

After receiving many magnificent presents from and wasting the substance of this lover,. she met the person' of a distingue and aristo cratic physician of this city, and with him she next took up her abcde. This gentle man provided for her very extravagantly and luxuriously, until she got mixed up in a law suit instituted'against. her, which gave him rather too disgraceful notoriety. 1 - le broke off the connection, and she was again thrown upon her own resources, or rather upon those of her mother, who, from her own private means, unknown to her husband, supplied her daughter very liberally with money.— She soon, however, engaged with George S. Twitchell, Sr., an elderly man, who, it is al• leged, placed his wife in _a lunatic asylum, ostensibly as hbusekeeper, at his farm, lo cated in South Jersey. Ile, it is said, not being-a man of honor, conspired- with her to form a conspiracy at , ainst ,, a'fashionable den tist, who bad prob ably been making some efforts to gain her affection. This scheme, in which young Twitchell, son of her elderly protector, was also implicated, was thorough ly ventilated and exposed by the gentleman who was to have been 'their victim ; and be -ing-a-man-of-e-o-uxage and determination; he forced from the woman and her co-conspira tors a full acknowledgment of their guilt After this unpleasant occurrence she remain• ed tolerably quiet for-a--little—while, being engaged in fascinating young Twitchell.— During this time her first protector (the young merchant) made overtures for her re -^Yarth7 burn rim, and , effrovertufes were warm, ly seconded by her mother, who was called upon and made a confidant of, and asked her to advise her daughter to return to her former lover._ Mrs.--Twitchell,— being now twenty-five or thirty years of age, having en trapped-George- S. Twitehell, — Jr determined to marry him, and secure a home of her own once more This arrangement not being re garded as desired by - old man Twitchell, 'he ' resolved to remove this coquettish fair one from the farm in New Jersey to the city of Philadelphia, where he could have her more directly under his own supervision and to that end sought to procure boarding for her with a moral, respectable family, but the master of the house having some knowledge of this 'friend,—the-arrangement did not come to a satisfactory eon clusi o n . This there arriie being annoyed by old Twitchell's jealousy and bored by the monotony'of a country life, -ended her con,nection with him by entering into a matrimonial alliance with young Twitchell, who frequently visited his father's farm to admire the fine buxom young house keeper. After a long time of not tog patient waiting, Mr. Bill died, leaving her mother a very wealthy and independent woman. And now, baying an opportunity to carry out the role laid down for herself so long ago she rented the fine residence at the northeast corner of Tenth and Pine streets, furnished it elegantly, became a regular aftendaut at church, gave largely to charities, public and private, and was in a fair-way of being canon ized as a first-class saint, when in an evil hour, she admitted as inmates to her house her daughter and her husband. Little is known of the internal arrangements of the family; but they appeared to live pleasantly and har. ruoniously together, and many persons who noticed their seeming prosperity and happi ness, wondered if the sort of lite led by these people could have a peaceful and respetitable ending One Sunday night Mrs Bill was murdered in her own house—robbed, toe, of a large sum of money, and her daughter, under circumstances highly suspicious, was arrested as accessory to the killing of one who, whatever her vices had been, was fond of, and liberal to, her child. These women had bruit lived luxuriously and plenteously, and had of the world's goods abundance and to spare, and had been the objects of envy to many virtuous women working hard for the barest necessities of life. But behold the and ! 'The wages of sin is death.' While one of these' women has been foully murder. ed, the other will probably terminate an in famous career in blackness and horror. MARRIED WITHOUT GLOVES.- A few days since a young gentleman and young la dy appeared at the parsonage of an 'emi nent clergyman, of this city, fur the purpose of having their respective destinies united in the holy bonds of matrimony. Everything being ready, the clergyman aforesaid was a bout to proceed with the ceremony, when the young lady discovered that she was mi nus her kid gloves, so, necessary on such carious; whereupon she requested her af• fianced to hasten to a store and procure the indispensable kids, tell him to 'be in a hurry or she 'might change her mind.' The elm , g,ymau, witnesses, and intended bride waited some time for the return - of the young gen tleman with ttie gloves ;,lie edam.— They waited longer, and still he did'nt come.

It mey•want its gorgeousness and 'imaginative character—but it is far` richer in, liiily. and trusting attributes.

Influence ~upon exi4tonCeamillion times morepribions and delightful than the cold dreams of phi. losophy. John .B. Gough on "Curiosity." Curiosity commences in the'cradle. With the drawing of intellect comes the desire to know. Children are remarkably curious ; they want to knoW everything, and in their eagerness for knowledge they sometimes put very awkward questions. Bterne has re marked :that curiosity seems woven in the frame of every son and daughter of Eve.— Divest us of curiosity, and the mind Would doze forever. Bulwer says : 'lt is a glorious fever, that desire to know ;' but there exists a great deal of feverish curiosity which is anything but glorious. Dr. Johnson said, although knowledge is the nursling of Intel leas it is the child of curiosity. Curiosity is a kind of itch for prying into the affairs of other people Some men, and women, too, must ask questions. Silence is torture 'to them. Such people are the funn• • s i s versation ; .they receive but to pass through. In the course of his lecture, Mr. Gough re minded his hearers of a number of•little sto• ries. The new ones were good and the old ones-were-told in such a quaint and original manner that they were equally amusing. By the way of apology for repeating a 'genii' which was many centuries old ivben added to the collection of the appreciative Mr. Joseph Miller, Mr. Gough said : You can't get new stories now unless you make them, and when you make one, other people take it and swear you stole it. We are all more or less curious as to the future. A few weeks ago politicians were in a great state of excitement as to who was -to be the next President of the United States. Many young ladies put pieces of bride cakes under their pillows inihiFhope of dreaming of the 'coming man.' Ignorance and curios ity are the parents of superstition. No'head is a perfect vacuum; there must be some. thing in it, and the more room taken up with solid things the less room for the ghosts of things. Our thought can have no influence _on the future, but our notions will. A. man's life should be measured by its action, not by the number of years. • In concluding, the lecturer addressed himself specially to young men, and exhorted them to direct their cu• riosity towards the acquire/merit of useful knowledge.. The man who lives in idleness lives in torment. Ile may say, in the words of Milton!s_Lucifer, 'Which way I fly is hell —myself am hell.' A Wife's Devotion. A young man withdraws one affianced to be his from her father's house to the greater sacredness of his own. Already he is en snared by both the cup and the gambler's in• struments. In the course of a year shadows begin to creep over the bright prospects of their wedded life Their morning is fast °bunging to evening. The day grows short er that never shall be long again. Little by little vice and dissipation are carrying him down to degradation and ruin. She bears with him patiently, and vainly strives, by af fection and kindness, to .reclaim him. At length he is regularly broup,ht-hoine besotted That form,meant to be golden temple of love, has become sulphurous, and seems like a tem ple of devils. And yet, although every one advises her to separate herself from him and abandon him, or refuse to administer to him in his wretchedness Through the day and through the night, for weeks and months and years, that seem imierininable, she is faithful to that swelling, loathsome mass. His 'father' and mother have disowned him. his neigh hots scorn and scot' at him. %Vera it not for her they would not darken the door of his dwelling. Site will not leave him nor forsake him. And when at last, having gone from affluence to poverty and rags and squalid misery, he comes to his delirious end, and seems like one in life already in the liquid flame of torment, she tries to sing some hymns to comfort him, and in prayer calls out to God for him. And dying, in all the world there is not one to shed a tear for him except she wife. • She does' weer over that disgusting corruption. Having begun to love him,-she loves him to the end. SEEKANG GEN.

The last of the Samaritans In that same valley of Palestine, "where Abraham and his grandson, Jacob, built their altars to Jehovah, and where some sixteen centuries later the Saviour talked With the woman of Samaria 'at Jacob's Well the last remnant of the sect of the Samaritans, num bering only about forty families, is now rap idly dwindling away. A traveller who has recently resided three months among these unmixed descendants of the best blood of ancient Israel, assured us that as regards their dress, manners, so cial customs, religious rites. and ether tribal peculiarities, they are the fan simile of their ancestors of a thousand years ago. They have never intermarried with other races, and claim to be the true 'sons of Jcseph,' whose tomb is in their valley. It is said -to observe their domestic life is to live in Bib lical atmosphere, and to return to their pa triarchs. The law is read to them frcna Gerizim, as it was-read to their forefathers from the same sacred mountain as early as the days of Joshua; and along the base of Mount Ebal camels wind their way, carrying on the traffic between Jerusalem and Galilee as it was carried oti in the era of the Edan gelists. From 1806 to 1846 the Samaritans were prevented by the Mabomedans from cele brating the Passover on Mt. Gerizim ; but twecty years ago, by Christian intercession, the privilege was restored to them. Their days are numbered; but their history and tradition will cling to the 'Valley of Seam' as long as time lusts The—Greek Church has purchased the Well of Jacob, and filled its mouth with stones, preparatory to erect ing s temple over it. It would have been in better taste to leave it as it was when the patriarch watcfied his flocks — tlao• and as it remained when the Holy Founder of the new dispensation drank of its pure 'sweet water.' The few surviving Samaritans are said to be worthy of their lineage and of the ancient fame of their sect—upright, benevolent, and remarkable for their physical beauty and lof ty bearing. Their surroundings are so grand and solemn, that they could scarcely be oth erwise than a poetic people Tabernacled under the shadow of Mount Moriah on the site of the 'City of Refuge,' and with the rock of the Holy Place, the stones set up by Joshua, and the spot on which Abraham prepared his son Isaac for the sacrifice, close at hand, we may well suppose that these, the noblest specimens of the Hebrew race, pass their lives in a sort of religious ecstasy, to which the comparative degradation of their present ondition is forgotten in the contem plation of a miraculous past, Our Own Littlen,9ss.
