We regret exceedingly to learn that the val

all completed, and get insurance on the

The Providence Chronicle furnishes the fol-

York, to seek employment as journeyman
printer lie was comparatively poor and friend
less, and after. three months spent seeking
work, was abou, ready 10 give up all hope of
success, but resolving still 10 persevere, he at
length obtained employment as journeyman
at eight dollars per week, in the office OF the
N. 7. Evangelist, weekly paper published in
that city. He continued in that situation ill
the Spring of 1882, when he procured press
and few type, on credit, and opened very
small printing Office 10 print cards and circu-
lars. He had no sooner commenced business
In this small way for himself, ihanlhe Cholera,
that awful scourge appeared in the city. He
was compelled, with heavy debt, 10 close his
office, and go TO work as journeyman on the
Evangelist, to procure bread for his little fami-
ly. After a few months, when the Cholera
had subsidized nothing daunted by SO unprom-

reopened his little Office, and obtained, occasi-
onaly, job or two of work

wild Horses i'm South America.

One of the Robertsons, in his let
ters on South America, states that he
has in his possession contracts which
he made at Goya with an estanciero,
for 10000 wild horses, to be taken on
his estate at the price of a medic
each, that is to say, threepence for
each live horse or mare. The slaugh-
ter of them costs threepence head
more, and stalking and cleaning the
hides, once more, threepence; and
lastly, like sum for carting to Goya,
making the whole cost one shilling
for each skin. Of this contract ten
thousand animals were delivered; the
skins were packed in bales and sold
in Buenos Ayres for six rials of three
shillings each, and they sold ultimate
ly in England for seven or eight shil-
lings; that is, the skins sold for about
800 5000 per cent, on the first cost
of the horse from which the skin was
taken. Such is the accumulatlve

The Paisley Murderess Arrested.

A young woman, named Christina
Cochran, alias Gilmour, who is accu-
|sed of having murdered her husband
in January last, near Paisley, in Scot
land, by administering arsenic, arrived
at New York, on Wednesday eve
ming, in the brig Excel, from Liver
pool, and was arrested under the pro-
visions of the late Treaty, she lav-
ing been demanded by the British
Government, through an agent sent
to this country by the Acadia.
The gentleman to whom she was
married was man of wealth, who
settled 1000 L. upon her on the day
of her marriage, and her father Settled
1000 L. more; thus placing at herim-
mediate disposal, nearly $4,000 In
April (suspicion having been excited)
he was disinterred, and a large quap-
tity of arsenic found in bis stomach.
The wife fed.
Previous to her marriage she had
been attached to Q young man named
Spear, and afterwards left the neigh
borhood in company with him, which
caused the suspicion, and led totle
discovery ofthe husband having been
poisoned. 1t was then reported at
Paisley that the wife intended leav-
ing Liverpool for New York, and af-
fidavits as to the particulars were
sent to Sir James Graham by the ru-
raj policeman, who received orders
that if Sir James supposed she could
be demanded under the treaty, to
proceed to Liverpool, and if it was
ascertained that she had embarked,
to take the steamer, and pursue her.
He did so, and arrived at New York
on the Sd of last month. She IS
woman about % years of age, and
was accompanied by a young man.
They passed on board as Mr.. and
Mrs. Spear. His real name, howev-
er, it appears, is Simpson. The wife
is imprisoned in the Tombs, New
York.

From the Saturday Courier.
ale of the Public Works.

The veto ot the Governor oil this State oil
the bill for the sale of the public works, we
mentioned to our readers last week as having
been filed in the office of the Secretary OF
State to be returned 10 the next Legislature.
This bill provides for the incorporation of a
company, 10 which is 10 be transferred the main
line Of the State Improvements by railroads
and canal, connecting the city Of Philadelphia
and the city of Pittsburg. Those improve
menis, constructed at an aggregate cost OF
about fifteen millions of dollars TO the State,
are 10 be sold or transferred TO this company for
the sum of sixteen millions, 10 be paid in sub
scriplions of one hundred dollars share in
cash or in certificates of loan Of the Common
wealth. But it will be recollec,ed that we
have previously stated that these certificates
are al about $50 for Sl00-and The conse-
quence would be that the company would buy
the Improvements at about eight millions.
The general objection Of The Veto is that, in
the language of the Governor, /" the measure is
most impolitic and unwise." The veto then
goes on 10 state as follows
1.-The income from the main line of i'm
prorcments this year, will very considerably
exceed that of the last year. During the first
two months of the business season, under
great disadvantages, ii is upwards Of thirty
thousand dollars boyond the corresponding
months of last year. This is surely no cause
for despondency, but for confidence and hope
In the future value of these Improvements.
AT all events, if they are 10 be sold or dis
posed of, lei it be on the most advantageous
terms TO the Stale. If, instead of coniining
the commissioners 10 taking subscriptions of
siock on The terms mentioned, they were allow
ed 10 sell the stock al public auction, 10 the
highest and best bidders, in amounts 10 suit
purchasers, an advance would probable be re-
allied beyond the simple subscription"
Speaking of Inc laie attempt 10 sell the
Delaware Division, at the Philadelphia Ex-
change, the veto says
when we see most unexampled scramble
for the stock-hired men forcing their way into
the room of the COmmlssioners-not man
subscribing bona fde for himself, but all wear
ing the aspect of bold and unblushng specula-
iIon-persons who took an active part in the
passage OF The bill in the Legislature, congre-
eating from remote parts of the State, and
witnessing the transactions with more intense
anxiety Than mere patriotism usually produces
and The Commissioners finally compelled 10
disperse hastily and close the books without
completing the task confded TO them by the
Legislature, it is well calculated 10 make US
pause; to reiract our steps, if we have acted
without due caution, and 10 proceed only upon
the clearesi conviction Of duty and of sound
policy

Murder at Georgetown, Ohio.

The Examiner of that place gives
an account that on Wednesday two
weeks, Mr.. George II. Bohrer, ofthat
county, was deliberately and in cold
blood shot down, whilst engaged at
work in his field He was approach
ed by clan of cut-throats, three of
whom fired rifles from the skirt of
the woods, the ball of each rifle ta-
king efect-one entering just below
his right under jaw another entering
his right breast, near the nipple, and
the other the small of his back. The.
brutal attack was made without eiv-.
ing any signal of alarm. Mr. Bohrer.
ran, after he received these balls.
about one hundred and ninety steps
before he fell. He was pursued by
his blood-thirsty murderers, and with
his hoe, with which he had been en-
gagged at work, his brains beaten out.
The perpetrators of this foul crime
then retreated, leaving the mangled
corpse in the field. This horrible
deed was perpetrated close by the
side of one of Bohrer's little girls,
who was at the time with him in the
field Mr.. Bohrer was man possess
ed of considerable property, which
fact may serve hereafter to elucidate
this daring and'awful crime. At last
accounts, three persons had been ar
rested, and were under examination.
1t is as plain as daylight, that the
punishment of human crimes must
become certain. or human life is to.
be the sport ofthe hardened wretchsS

The Fourth of Juiy.


The records of the Past unroll.
OF gallant deeds in battle done,
And trace upon the brilliant scroll
The tale Of war, and Freedom won,
In those dark days of blood ahd strife,
Columbia struggled for her life.
A nations love has set apart
This day to memory of the Past;
And proudly in a nations heart
Those memories rise distinct and fast;
While prayer and martial pageantry,
Devote this day to Liberty.
On every sea-by every shore
Our star-lit flag waves high and free,
And lound above the Oceans roar,
Is heard the Trump of Liberty:
Oh! bright DER Tyranny's dark grave,
Hopes star lights up the Western wave.
Oh Liberty this hallowed day
Thy name is heard from every tongue;
Rich offerings on thy altars lay,
With garlands bright thy courts are hung;
And waving in the morning light,
Clean pennons steaming far and bright.
Not in the monarch's gorgeous hall,
Not in the warriors brilliant train,
When clarion's sound at Victory's call.
And plaudits hush the cry of Pain,
While nodding plumes, and banners red,
In cruel mock wave DER the dead
But in the low and peaceful cot,
Where man untrammerd, happy, dwells,
Tyrants unknown, and chains forgot,
The song of Freedom fearless swells;
There rise the peans of the Free,
To bless thy name, Oh Liberty!
We hear thee in the whispering tones
The sportive wind bears DER the plain;
The billowy realm the ocean owns
Repeats thy name from main to main;
Hillside and strean their voices raise,
And tune their notes to sound thy praise.
OH dearest boon on man bestowed!
Thou sunlight to the daring heart!
Thou guide along rich Learnings' road!
Thou nurse of Science and of Art!
This joyous day, our millions free
Devote to gladness, God, and thee.
A shout DER free Columbia breaks,
A shout that swells nations breast;
The wild North hears-the sweet South wakes
And rings with Joy the wood-clad West,
From mountain top-by plain and sea-
Ascend the anthems of the Free.
The soil by freemen nobly won,
Is Freedoms habitation still;
Oh! guard it great and holy One,
From foreign and from civil i'll;
The hand that won our battles for US,
OH be it ever round and DER us!
Accept, oh God. nations prayer,
Accept the heartfelt off f'rings given;
Thanks for Thy kind, untiring care;
Thanks for rich fields. and smiling heaven;
Happy, on Freedoms soil we llve,.
Ours are the thanks that freemen give.
AS changeless as the truth of God,
May this e-honored day return,
To light the green and blooming sod,
Where Freedom's'quenchless atars burn,
Let ceaseless thanks ascend to Thee!
Our God!-The God of liberty.
