SUPPOSED MURDER.

Last Monday fur persons were put into
the prison OF York county, charged with
having committed a murder. Thc circum-
stances of the case are, SO far as We have
heard, as follows: About the end OF March
or the beginning Of April last, a certain Gc9rg,,
Brown, a drover from WestmorGand coun-
ty, who had sold a drove of cattle in York,
Lancaster, Chester and Philadelphia coltn-
ties, is supposed to have arrived at a house
that sustained none Of the best characters.
After he had gone into the house, one OF the
women brought quart Of wskey, and after
they had intoxicated him herewith, they
robbed him Of the sum Of s or 900 dollars.
Soon afterwards disagreements occurred a.
mongst the women of the house, perhaps a
bout the division of the plunder, and one oi
them was driven off. This one frequently
stated, that Jacob Seitz, and the other wo-
men, had murdered Brown. But as this ac
cusallon was made by person of bad char
ssctcr, there was no credit attached to it, and
no search made. The matter, therefore, re-
manned quiet for about months, until the
friends Of Brown, here, received several let
tiers from his family, enquirng where he de-
layed SO long. Whereupon an examination
took place, and the accused were arrested.
The female who had been driven out of the
house was examined as a witness, and her
statement, under oath, confirms the charge
which she had frequently made. She says
that Jacob Seitz and his wife murdered
Brown; she having left the room in which they
done it, when they attacked him, and went
into an anti chamber or the kitchen where
she heard the cries of Brown: and that Seitz
soon afterwards came down the steps, carry

THE MOON.

Professor Gruihausen, in Munich
has now published the third part of his
essay on the many plain indications of in
habitants in the moon, and especially o.
a colossal building. The Munich Ga
zette communicates some Of the most re.
markable results, derived from a great
number Of observations made last year
They answer three queslions.-
|. To wha, latitude in the moon are
there indications OF vegetation !?
Q. How far are there indications oil
animated beings!
8. Where are the greatest and plain
est traces of art on the surface of the
moon?
With respect to the first question, it
appears from the observations OF Schro-
ter and Gruithuasen, that the vegeta-
ton on the moop's surface extends to SIS
south latitude and 65 north latitude.
Many hundred observations have sh,wn,
in The different colors and monthly
clio p of the parts evidently covered
vii plants, three kinds OF pheDom ens,
which cannot possibly be explained, ex-
cep, by the process . vegetation.
To The second ques ion it is answ cred,
thay the indications from which the ex-
is.ence % living beings is inferred, are
found from so north latitude, to 81, and
perhaps AZ south latitude.
Fht answer to the third question re-
lat the observations pointing out the
places in the moons surface, in which
ar appearances of artificial causes al
fer1g the surface. he author here
ex r.ines the appearances that induce
ha, 10 infer that there are artificial roads
in various directions; and he also de-
scrbss the great artificial edlfice re-
setpb,lng our cities, on the most fertile
part Of the moons equator; il is re-
markable that ii stands accurately &C.
cordiug to the four cardinal points, and
that the main cities are in angles of As
degrees and 80 degrees, and building
resembling what is called star redoubt,
is attached to it, which the discoverer
presumes to be dedicated to religious
purposes, and as they can see the stars
in the day time, (their atmosphere being
so pure) he thinks that they worship
the stars, and consider the earth as a
natural clock. The essay is accompa-
MED by several plates. Vienna Gaz

Influence Of the Moon on tie winds.
Mr.. S. G.. Dacosta, of Nelson Ter.
race Stoke, Newing,on, has published
the following statement, which at al
events is worth attention.
Those spots, or the figures common
" called the man in the moon, is posi-
lively the guide to the winds, or the
wind itself; and to prove the same | sub
nit the following rules -
LIST. The Hoon, at the full, at about
twenty minr}ses past twelve O'Clock al
nigh, say in straight line before you, is
due south, the top called north, the bot
tom south, right side east, and left side
west.
I'd. The first appearance OF the full
moon Is in the east, when said hgure re-
presents an imp erfect eyebrow, and
should its appearance remain the same,
after arriving at due south, then the
winds will be northerly, say northeast
and norsn-wes,, ill the next full moon !;
bul II altered at the said time, in the
smallest degree, say by slope which
varies very much, the winds will be in
conformity. When the slope is nearest
the middle, variable winds will be pro-
duced, as il touches in all quarters ex-
cept the southeast, and when the figure
is quite erect on the west side, the winds
will be westerly the next full.
Sd. This said figure is never erect on
the sast side, which accounts why we
have so little south east winds, and that
little which we do have, conceive from
one of its lower limbs occasionally touch.
ing in very small degree, in said quar-
ter, say like the stroke OF pen; or IN
going round meets with some obstruc-
ton. Some astronomer may hereafter,
by examining and comparing notes, be
able further to elu,idate this.
4ih. 1t strikes me very forcibly, that
where the trade winds prevail. the moon
has the same appearance as have de-
scribed, viz: that the figure is always al
the top. ! am in hopes that some Cap
tain will answer this phenomenon, as II
will prove my system.
5th. In examining by my plan it mus
be dome with the naked eye, as all glass
ss have looked through, only proven,
instead Of assisting me IN my observa
tons as they only shew an innumerabll
Quantity Of small objects, from which
cannot dednce any thing.
9Th. ] recommend to astronomers AM
ar,ists TO examine, in addition to my rule
laid down, The first appearance and shap
Of the new moon, and its progress al
the way to the full; as transien'ly ono
observed only abpu, half Of said hgur
., The end of,he frs, quarter, which pro
duced the same proportion OF winds, sa
about half easterly and half westerly
