YORK, (PA.) AUG. 1881.
| Effects Of changes oftemteratnre on tho
imhelting flower Of moving wafer.
To the Editor.-A singular circum.
stance has been observed in this vicinity
lately, which has given rise to coDsidera'
Bile discussion. The opinions entertain
ed respecting it by those who have turn
ed their attention TO it, are various: nor
has any one been able to account salts
factorily for it. This induces me 10 trou-
BILE you with brief narration of it, be-
lieving that every fact of the kind will be,
by you, deemed worthy to be added to
that stock Of knowledge, which
observation has been cleaning and srea-
suring up for the scrutiny Of science.
AT the mouth of creek which emp
ties itself into the Susquehanna, a short
distance south OF Columbia bridge, there
stands saw mill which cuts an itnmense
quantity oftimber. The owners, as we'll
as several of the worknen who a'tead
The mill, state it as fact, that at night,
in the course Of given time, with the
same head or quantity OF water, without
any alteration being made in the geeyinG,
or machinery oil the mill, the saw cuts
more timber than it Goes in the same
time in day Aght--and further that it
cuts more in gwen time in wiater than
it does in summer. The owners, from
being accustomed to the motion and
tone of the saw in the course OF the day,
say they can readily perceive an increase
OF strokes, and greater force in the saw,
at night bat how to acconn. for il they
know not. 1t has become mater of much
speculation and dispute among the me
chanics, work men, and tloatsrs OF lum-
Der on the Susquehahna. A gentlem an
who deals largely IN lumber, and who
sometimes attends to the Aoa'ins of RATS
himself, states. that a raft will float bear
ly third faster in the night, than in the
day. The two facts are probably refer
able to the same cause; and the discove-
ry of the cause is desirable.
Respectfully your obedieni servant,
SAMUEL WAGNER.

therefore, the more corresponding proofs
that can be obtained the better; as fur
Their conceive, il the weather is. also put
down, when the same appearances re-
turn, the same wind and weather will all
so return by analogy. And as the full
moon is often obscured by clouds, the
following night may also shew sufficient
10 Judge how the winds, and how the
weather will be as lately it SO happened,
that the full by the Almanac, was at 3
O'Clock in the morning, which was alter
the usual time of examining, indepen-
dent its being obscured, which caused
me to examine the following night, al the
usual lime. l was nearly correct, and
quite satisfied of its utility.

(they being most fiji to improve as well
as to examine my system; because any
person, with good sight, can prove suf-
ficient TO be satisfied that | am csrrect in
what | have laid down; but my chief de-
sire is, that the above gentlemen should
examine, as conceive they will be able,
some time to come, to make Almaracs
monthly, detailing the winds and weather;
therefore the first that wilt be al

MURDER.

MURDER.
We have received from a respecta-
bic source, and one 10 be relied on, the
following particulars Of q most painful
and unheard of transaction, and leave
the minds of the readers Of the Gazette
without aid from our pen, to indulgein
such reflections as will naturally be ex.
cited. On Saturday last about two
miles from New Brunswick, Josiah
Stout, Jr. about 90 years Of age and who
had been married about three years
to Maria Van Arsdalen. daughter Of
Abraham Van Arsdalep Esq late She.
riff Of Middlesex County, New Jsrs ey,
committed the horrid crime Of murder.
ing his wife. Our informant states,
that about nine months since, Mrs.
Stout, in consequence Of ill treatment
from her husband returned to the house
of her father, where she was confined,
and delivered of dead child On Sa-
turday last, Stout put mis- frequent
threats, previously made, into execu-
ton. In the absence Of Ills wife's ia.
tber, he went to the house, armed with
two pistols and dirk. On his ap.
proach, the mother of the unfortunate
woman apprized her daughter of her
danger, whe flew to room and locked
herself in. Soon after Stout broke in
to it, but his wife made her escape in
to the garden in the rear-he pursued,
overlook her, and stabbed her 3 times
in her left breat-she fell-the monster
siezed her by one arm. dragged her
back to the house where he stabbed her
6 times more, and she brea,hed her last,
it 10 supposed, before the villain had
ceased using his blood stained dagger
This done, he locked himself in room
no doubt but with an intention to des-
troy those who nigh, attempt to secure
him. BY this time some of the neigh.
bors had assembled. Mr.. Abraham
Snediker burst in the door and seized
him. At this moment he discharged
one Of his pistols as if with 40 intention
Of committing suicide, but there was
no ball in the charge. and one Of his
whiskers was only slightly singed--
The other pistol was discovered to con.
tain nothing but powder and wad. He
was conveyed to Jail at New Brups-
wick. without having made any discIo.
aures. The wretch was visited in the
evening by his father, at which time he
was, apparently, in state Of insanity.
