SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1865
Tll MURDER.—The intelligence of
the murder of our beloved President,
lir, Lincoln, by the hand of a rebel as.
san i n, was received by telegraph, in
this t ,,, :o ugb, at an early hour on Satur
day morning last. Never were a people
more horribly shocked and paralyzed.
In ow language of that valuable journ
al, the Germantown Telegraph, the aw
ful fad could not be fully realized, nor
mould it have been credited did not the
roost unquestionable evidence accom
pany it. The sudden change from re
joicing at our victories to mourning for
oir beloved Chief Magistrate, was heart
rending. The emblems of the universal
feeling of deepest sorrow, wets every
where exhibited. People when they
met bad not the power of utterance,
and men, women, and children shed tears
of woe and sympathy. Never before
has been witnessed in the United States
such a day of gloom so overwhelming in
its intensity.
'that so good, so generous, so forgiv.
iog and kindhearted a man as ABRAHAM
LINCOLN, who may justly be called the
second WASHINGTON, should fall by the
bullet of a rebel, and a fiend, while sit
ting by the side of his wife, and in the
midst of hundreds of friends, is indeed
marvelous, but it only shows the bitter
ness of the hate still rankling in the
hearts of the wicked traitors. The con
sequences of the death of President
LINCOLN and the succession of President
JOHNSON, will soon give the rebels a fore
taste of that which is to come. They
have destroyed their best friend, and
have raised up in his place one who will
deal out Justice to them with a stern
and unstinted hand. He will not only
have the grave duty to perform of vin
dicating the life and character of the
late President, by a policy, in one res
pect at least differing from the preced
ing, which he will certainly carry out,
though it grinds the leading rebels to
powder; but he will make that policy a
liviug, active idea, which will sweep the
Southern States of all the traitorous
politicians and officers, civil and military
by hanging some and banishing the rest.
If we are not mistaken, the day of retri
bution has come, at the call and by' the
act of the rebels themselves ; and as
they have made their bed so may they
lie in it. Having refused the angel of
mercy, peace and goodwill, let them
now prepare to be visited by another
description of angel. It has become
the gunfirel desire of the people that
the great crime of treason shall meet
with condign punishment; and we are
much mistaken if the new President
fails to fulfill this desire.
tir Would you buy Hardware cheap
--then buy from J. Spengler, who, in
anticipation of the fall in prices of all
kinds of Hardware, in consequence of
the fall of Richmond, and the prospects
of a speedy peace, has reduced his prices
accordingly. Nails $8 per keg ; White
Lead $3:75 per keg ; Linseed Oil $1:80
per gallon ; Glass 10 per cent. cheaper;
Stoves and other goods at correspond
ing rates.
Immediately upon the confirms
non of the sad news of the murder of
our beloved President, on Saturday
last, nearly all the stores and places of
business were closed—the bells tolled
and nearly every public and private
building was in mourning. On Sunday
all the churches were draped in mourn
ing and sermons appropriate to the sor
rowful occasion delivered.
lir In consequence of the general
suppression of everything consequent
upon the doleful news of the murder of
President Lincoln, the fair and festival,
for the benefit of the Presbyterian
church, was postponed last Monday, and
Will now commence on Monday evening
next, the 24th instant, and continue on
the afternoons and evenings of Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday.
Gar Providenc permiting, there will
be quarterly meeting to-morrow (Sab
bath) morning and evening in the M.
E. church. Love-feast in the morning
at 8 o'clock. Public service at 10 A.
; when the , Pastor will preach; and
in the evening at 71.4 o'clock, preach
ing by the Presiding Elder, Rev. Dr. .T.
Castle.
tter from Charles Grow, of
14 4 . mi Pa Cavalry, in which there are
late a number of Marietta boys, to
Patrick H. Grady, he says Capt. Wie
ner and Lieut. John Eiger of Marietta
are all right—Eiger slightly wounded.
It ia now stationed on the Weldon rail
road.
er From a late number of the "New
Mexico Press," we learn that Mr. Wil
liam T. Straehan, formerly of this bo
rough, is now a member of the House of
Representatives of the Territory of Now
Mexico.
lir The &ague anna ie now too low
for netts to "Come-in" from above, and
a general stampede of rivermen is taking
place daily. The spring business has
been very poor.
I The preeeedinge of the Good
T emPlars With regard to the murder of
President Lincoln came too late for this
peek's issue.
or Wednesday last was universally
observed as a day of mourning, in our
place ; by order of Chief Burgess
Stance all places of business were cies
ed at 11 o'clock and remained closed
during the balance of the day. Rev.
George M. Clawges delivered a feeling
sermon at one o'clock in the afternoon,
' in the M. E. Church, and was followed
by Rev. Mr. Matthias and Barr Spang
ler, Esq., in shirt and patriotic address
es. A series of resolutions were passed,
and, upon the whole, was a solemn day.
$ The eminent and wonderful Ma
gician, Jerome Blitz, gave one of hie
splendid soirees at the town ball on
Thursday evening last, to a densely
crowded house, and, by desire, performs
again this (Saturday) afternoon and
evening, with a new programme. His
entertainments are of the first order and
worthy the patronage of any audience.
The afternoon performance is for chil
dren and those who cannot attend in
the evening.
er Chief Burgess Stence, in compli
ance with the Governor's proclamation,
desires all places of business in the bo
rough to be closed between the hours of
12. noon, and half-past one o'clock, to
day, during which time the remains of
President Lincoln are expected to pass
through on their way to Philadelphia.
4 Just as we were about going to
press, on Friday afternoon, we received
a very interesting letter from William
T. Strachan, of New Mexico, which •we
will take occasion to publish in our
next,
lir Provost Marshal Stevens has re
ceived orders from Washington to cur
tail the expenses of his office—to vacate
rooms, discharge clerks,&c. This looks
like a step toward peace in reality.
W The "National Freemason" is the
title of a neatly gotten-up periodical,
published in Washington city, by Rob
ert McCurdy, D. D.. L. L. D., at 82 per
annum.
ger A great county meeting is to be
held in Lancaster to-day, to give expres
sion to the feelings of the citizens of
this county, on the recent outrage com
mitted in Washington.
lir By request of Chief Burgess
Stance, all places of business were clos
ed and all the bells tolled from 12
o'clock until 1 on Wednesday, and its
observance was general.
ifir Mr. Stockham, a timber merchant
from Camden, lost a package of money
on Saturday morning last. See reward
offered in another column.
or The remains of President Lincoln
will pass through Lancaster, on their
way to Philadelphia, at 2 o'clock this
afternoon.

See what the most popular and widely cir

From the "Dispatch" of February 25, 1865.
We take pleasure in calling the attention of
our readers to the announcement of Messrs.
Devaugh at. Co.'s Great Sale of Jewelry, Silver
Ware, and Fancy Goods, in our advertising
columns. We are personallly acquainted with
the members of this firm and know them to be
gentlemen of sterling worth and integrity.
Their stock of goods, for variety and extent,
we have scarcely seen paralleled.
From the "Mirror of Fashion," March 1,•1865
Messrs. Devaugh & Co.'s Great Sale ofJew
elry, etc., opened on the 15th ult•, and we
venture to sey that no finer display of goods
was ever exhibited by any establishment in
this city. The ladies thronged their bazaar
almost to suffocation, although the streets were
rendered nearly impassable by the melted
Imo 74 , and slush. We predict for them a won
derful success.
From the "Ledger," February 28,1866
Our lady friends should visit the extensive
establishment of Messrs. Devaugh 8c Co.'s

themselves with a sight which they will long
remember. Such a profusion of elegant
Watches, Chains, Rirgs, Earrings. and, in
short, of Jewelry of every name, kind and de
scription. we never before witnessed. Their
silver and plated ware is superb and almost
oasts into the shade the other splendid estab
lishments which have long been the boast of
our city. It is estimated that their stock is
worth not less than one million of dollars.

Lancaster and Venango Mutual Petro
leum Association,
The property of the Lancaster and Venan
g.? Mutual Petroleum Association con,sista of
Ninety-One Acres of Land, in fee simple, sit
uated on the eastern bank of Big Sandy Creek,
and on either side of Stony Run, which Bows
through the middle of it, in rmich Creek
township, Venango county. It presents a
large proportion of boring ground, amounting
to at least sixty acres.
Part of the land'is covered with fine oak
timber, well calculated for the manufacture of
coal oil barrels,this alone is of great value in
that locality where thousands of barrels are
wanted daily to hold the rich products of sur
rounding wells.
It is evident also that large deposits of bitu
minous coal exist-in the elevated portions of
this tract; they are, however, undeveloped.
Within one mile east and west coal mines are
worked on an extensive. scale.
$25,265 17
It is the determination of this company to
fully develop their whole territory. Subscri -
bens to stock can feel satisfied that no effort
will be spared on the part of the officers and
managers to bring out the oil, which must be
within reach of faithful labor. We invite a
careful examination of our prospectus by all.
We have every confidence in our oil prospects,
and every assurance that the stock of the com
pany will soon advance in price.
There are now only 50,000 shares of the
stock of this company offered for sale, the
rest is all taken.

ON THE ONE BOLLAR PLAN.
The entire stock of one Gold and Silver
Watch Manufactory, Two Immense
Jewelry Establishments, One Silver
Plating Ware-house, One Gold Pen
And Pencil Maker,
TO BE DISPOSED OF WITH DISPATCH
WITHOUT REGARD TO LOST!
The Goods are of fashionable styles and
most excellent workmanship, and are sacrifi
ced in this manner to relieve the proprietors
from embarrassment occasioned by a distract
ing civil war. It should be prominently sta
ted, also, that they are mostly of
AMERICAN MANUFACTURE
and therefore gi eatly superior to the goods
imported from abroad and hawked about as
the cheapest ever sold. The simple duty on
imported goods and the high premium on Gold
(all foreign bills are payable in gold,) amount
to more than the entire cost of many of the
articles offered by us to the public. To facili
tate the sale
ONLY ONE DOLLAR
will be charged for any article on our list ! and
this sum the purchaser need not pay until he
knows what he is to get! This plan accords
with the method recently become so popular
for disposing of large stocks of Jewtlry and
similar productions.
THE PLAN IS SIMPLE!
The name of each article offered for sale ,
as "Gold Hunting Watch," "Gold Oval-Ban'
Bracelet," "Pearl Breastpin and Ear-Drops,'
"Hold Er smelled Ring," "Silver Plated Cake
Basket," &c., is written on a card and en
closed in a sealed envelope ; these envelopes
are then placed in a drawer and well mixed ;
thin as an order is received, with twenty-five
cents far return postage and other charges,
one of the cards or certificates is taken at
random and sent by first mail to the customer,
who will see at once what he can get for One
Dollar. II he is pleased with his fortune he
can forward the money according to directions
on the certificate and secure the prize. If the
article awarded should be unsuited to the
purchaser—as for example, a set of Pearl Ear
Drqps and Breastpin, to a young man who
could not wear them, and had no one to give
them to—we will send any other article on the
catalogue of equal price which may be pre
forred• Or if, for any reason, you choose to
venture no further, then you can let the mat
ter drop where it is and spend no more. Ex
:mime carefully our Catalogue !
