Our readers will recolect The excitement in
relation To the murder Of this man in Berks
county, couple of years ago. The person
accused we believe go, clear then, but justice
is sure in her punishmenis, and in the end has
reached Oschman. The Reading Press says
"John Frederick Oschman. the German who
was tried and acquitted in our county court, Tor
the murder Of Conrad Christ, we are informed
from a creditable source has been convicted IN
the Court Of Oyer and Terminer in the town oil
Rome, Oneida county, New York, for murder
ing man in that county. and that he is 10 be
hung some time in February. Our informant
also states that Oschman confessed that he
had murdered man, robbed store in Ohio,
and also murdered man in Berks county, Pa. !"

GerrYmanderine.

Our wise acres at Harrisburg are hard at work
trying TO pass Bill dstricting the State for men,
bers of Congress. Several Bills have been intro
duccd, but the members have not yet agreed upon
the details Of either. One thing however nearly
ali the loco focos agree upon, and that is, that
they will carve up the State that the Wings will
not be able 10 elect more than four or fire mem
bers of the taoenty. four TO which Pennsylvania is
entitled in the lower house of Congress. This
these pure loco foco patiiots call justice and fair
dealing But let Them go on. Only give them
scope enough and they will very soon work out
their own destruction as completely as they now
vainly imagine they are doing that Of the Wings.
Whom tie gods wish to destroy, they first make
mad" is an old and apt saving, and applies with
remarkable force TO our loco foco politicians in

Tie balance of five million, of the twelve mil
lion u States loan, which was authorized by Con-
gress, at the Extra Session in lS41, was taken
last week, by number Of the monied gentlemen
Of Wall street, New York. This is good sign,
and shows tina: confidence in the financial affairs
of the country is again reviving. The most
cheering circumstance connected with this $l2,-

subscribed by inhabitants Of the United States.
