one would suppose that the Indians would have
been satisfied but, so far from it, they had
joicing around the field, while Steele was dying
IN the house. And many of the spectators retu-
sed to render the least assistance, and even to
cary him to the house. After Steele was in the
mouse, and while suffering indescribable pain, he
spoke TO Earl mildly and said, elf you had paid
your rent, l had not lost my life'' To which
Earl, with the GOODNESS and inhumanity of fend,
replied, 81 would not pay my rent to save forty
hreS r. Earl is man worth ten thousand dollars,
but not for twice ten thousand dollars would poor
Steele exchange places with him. He had far
better be dead than, live as he must, 'sdying ev-
cry day he lives.'
Steele's corpse was brought to Delhi this morn
ing, and will be inferred on Sunday. His wife
reached Andes just in time to see him die her
feelings can be better conceived than described.
Yet neither the sufferings of Seele, the wailings
OF his friends, nor the rawlings of his almost dis
tracted wife, seemed to soften in the least degree
the obduracy of these down-renters, or to wake
up in their marble bosoms any kindred emotion.
Oh, if there is justice in Heaven, may we not
hope and expect that these murderers will be pun
ished' Something must be done. The people
are becoming so enraged that they will not sub
nit to it, ard if thorough measures are not set on
foo by the State authorities to protect officers
and citizens in the discharge of their duty, and
to ferret out these men who have thus butchered
faithful public officer in broad day, there will
be imminent danger of a civil war. Hundreds of
men are already talking seriously of turning out
to murder and shoot down those who are suspect
ed, and unless something is done, and these out
RACES continue, depend upon it no efforts can re-
strain our citizens; whose motto will be vengeance
and not justice Our District Attorney, ever
prompt in the discharge of his duty, was early OH
the ground, setting foot every measure and
means to discover the perpetrators of this outrage
The results of his efforts, of course, are not yet
made public. Yours truly, NJ

MURDER OF THE DEPUTY SHERIFF IN
DELAWARE COUNTY.

DELHI, Aug. s. Dear Sir-The hasty rumor
| communicated to you yesterday, turns out to be
too true and hasten to give you the further fea-
lures of this appalling tragedy. On the morning
OF the 9th, Greene Moore, our Sheriff in compa-
ny with Peter P. Wright, lawyer of this village,
left Delhi for Shavertown, in the town of Andes,
to attend a sale of property under execution, in
tending to go from there on the next day to at
tend the sale at Earl's, in the same town, where
Steele was murdered. They left Shavertown
early on the morning of the 7th for Earl's and,
on their way saw number Of persons, with bun
dies under their arms, moving in the same direc-
uon. When they arrived at the place, the Sher-
iii inquired OF Earl if he intended 10 pay the rent
He said he would fight it to the last. In the
mean time, officers Steele and Edgerton, antci.
palng difficulty, and, ever foremost in the dis
charge OF any official duty, left Delhi, to assist
the Sheriff at the sale. About one hundred In
dians made their appearance upon the ground
and commenced abusing Steele, who, with char
acteristic GOODNESS and judgment, made no reply
The property distrained was in field, and the
Indians forbid any and all persons entering to
NEEDLE with it, and told Peter p. Wright il he
bid on the property he would ego home in a wa
gon, feet foremost" Mr.. Wright, who is man
of great courage, let down the bars and crowded
his way into the field, and was followed by Steele
and Edgerton, who were mounted on horses
Wright was on foot. The Indians immediately
formed semi-circe around the party, Wright
standing between the horses. The chief told his
men to shoot the horses, and Edgerton immed
ately called upon the spectators, Of whom there
were large number present, to assist in execu
ting the laws. AS well might he have talked t.
the hills Not finger was raised by one oil
them The chief then called out to his men, ant
said, "Shoot the horses, shoot the men," Th'
Indians, who were all armed with muskets ant
rifles, Immediately fired volley at the officer
and their horses Edgerton's horse reeled AM
fell Steees horse pitched and fell, Steele at tn
same time falling in another direction from tn
horse, exclaiming, 81 am shot, am dead man.
Sheriff Moore Immediately ran up to Steele, an'
appealing to the Indians said, ain Gods nam
YOU have done enough"
Steele had received three shots one through
his bowels, one through his right side and on'
through his right arm. This was at p. M, AM
he died at 20 minutes past p. M

we have been informed, 1--WE have not seen it)
is now being constructed in this city, upon en-
tirely new principles, for the production of must
cal sounds. The active agent is electromagnetic
ISM which, passing through wires, breathes forth
sounds that equal the Hohan Harp for liquid
sofness, while at the same time it is capable Of
rivang the organ in the distinctness and eff
cheney OF its notes Every sensation that can be
produced upon the most perfect instrument, can
be accomplished upon this, while the browning
wonder is that the performer is not required to be

CHRISTIANITY IN CHINA. late paper SAYS: 1t is
chemically stated that Keyng has memoralised the
Emperor the subject of the Christian religion and ac-
companied this paper with copies of Christian Tracts
and other books in the Chinese language. Ii appears
that these have been infinitely examined and an answer
been received to the effect that the publication of these
works proceeded from good motives, for they exhon the
people to the practice of virtues and tile religion they
contain which has hitherto been interdicted should be
tolerated and allowed.

RAIN IN SUMNER.


BY H. W. LONGFELLow.
How beautiful is the rain
A fter the dust and heat,
In the broad and fiery street,
In the narrow lane,
How beautiful is the rain
How il clatters upon the roofs,
Like the tramp OF hoofs,
How it gushes and struggles out
From the throat the overfowing spout
Across the window-pane,
1t pours and pours,
And swift aud wide,
With Muddy tide,
Like river down the gutter roaIs
The rain, the welcome rain
The sick man from his chamber looks
At the twisted brooks
He can feel the cool
Breath of each little pool;
His fevered brain
Grows calm again,
And be breatas a blessing on the rain.
From the neighboring school
Come the boys,
With more than their wonted noise
And connection;
And down the wet streets
Sail their mimic fleets,
Til the treacherouS pool
EngufS them in its whirng
And turbulent ocean.
In the country On every side
Where, far and wide,
Like a leopard's iawry and spotted hide,
Stretches the plain,
To l1a div. nd
How welcome is the rain!
In the furrowed land
The toiIsome and patient oxen stand,
Lifting the yoke-encumbered head,
With their diated nostrils spread,
They silently inhale
The clover scented gale,
And the vapors that arise
From the well watered and smoking soil
For this rest in the flTrow after toll,
Their large and lustrous eyes
Seem to thank the Lord,
More than mans spoken word.
Near at hand
From under the sheltering trees
The farmer sees
His pastures and his fields of grain,
AS they bend their tops
To the numberlesss beating drops
OF the lncessant rain
He counts it as no sin
That he sees therein
Only his own Thrift and gain.
These and far more than these,
The poet sees
He can behold
Aquarius old
Walking the fenceleSs fields fair
And from each ample fold
Of the clouds about him rolled,
Scattering everywhere
The showery rain
AS the farmer scatters his grain.
He can behold
Things manifold
That have not yet been wholly told
Have not been wholly sung or said
For his thought which never stops,
Follows the water drops
Down to the graves Of the dead,
Down through chasms and CULTS profound
To the dreary fountain-head
Of lakes and rivers under ground
And sees them, when the rain is done,
On the bridge Of colors seven,
Climbing up once more to heaven,
Opposite the setting sun.
Thus the seer,
With vision clear,
Sees forms appear and disappear,
In the perpetual round of strange
Mysterious change
From birth to death, from death to BIRTH
From earth to heaven, from heaven to earth,
Til glimpses more sublime
OF things unseen before,
Unto bis wondering eyes reveal
The universe as an immeasurable wheel
Turning for evermore
In the rapid and rushing river of Time.
