HARRISBURG, April %, 1S49.
Dear Sir-Last night at late hour, three
young men, about 10 or 90 years of age, prow-
ling about the lower end of town, in pursuit,
it is supposed, of girl of doubtful character,
stopped at the house of MIR. Neip, and raised
disturbance in front of it. Mr.. Neip's son.
returned volunteer from Mexico, desired
them to go away from the premises, which
they resisting, and insulting him at the
same time, he struck one of them, named
kemble, the son Of a merchant tailor of this
place, who thereupon drew dirk knife, and
repeatedly stabbed him in the region of the
heart. His wounds are severe, and at this
time are said to be mortal While the afIray
was going on, Mr., Nsip came out of the
house TO The rescue of his son, when he also
was set upon and stabbed by another of the
party, son of Mr.. Baumgardner, the keeper
of tavern at the railroad depot. The other
youngster, named Seller, took no part in the
homicide, but endeavored to separate the
parties, and prevent injury to either of them.
The whole town is in state OF excitement
at this bloody outrage, especially as the pub
lie mind had hardly recovered from the mur-
der Of Mr. Knepler by his crazy son, week
ago. Baumgardner has fed, and Kemble is
arrested. LYKENs.

POPULAR RFoLLY,-Mechanics oct tinoef

POPULAR FoLLy.-Mechanics get tinged
somewhat with the idea that it is not quite
genteel enough for darling child to be
put to a trade--and that it would be a lit
tie more reputable for ksm to tend store -
Now, no one will contend that all boys
should be apprenticed to trade, any more
than they should all be merchants, physi-
clans or lawyers. But few will doubt that
many lads are crowded into what is called
the learned professions, who are as unquali-
fed by nature for those professions, as some
of the members of those professions are in
competent to make good Mechanics. 1t is
not any dullard that will make a NTechan-
ic-as is too often thought: If there is a
bright boy in the family, he must be clas-
ically educated there is a very stupid
one, twhy' (say thefond parents) 'we must
apprentice him to some hard working Me.
chanic, and he will probably be able to plod
through the worldP With all proper def
erence to parents so mistaken. as these, we,
the Mechanics, must say that a stupid boy
viii make as competent professional man
as Mechanic. Itrequires good parts and
a ready active mind, 10 master the princi-
pie Of mechanical business. We can ea-
silly account for the unworkman-like man
ner in which mechanism is often executed,
when we reflect how general the opinion has
been; sthe dullard for the trade, if we can
not do anything else with him. Iii dis
grace to US as Mechanics, to have it said
that a Mechanic can be formed of fany
stick of a boy We. e.should show a proper
pride, by rejecting those boys whose only
recommendation is stupidity-and whose
parents think they are good for nothing but
Mechanics! We should return the compG-
ment they pay our pursuits, by saying to
them your sons are too poor sticks for Me-

Beautiful Allusiom The parents Of
Lamartine were married at the very COM
mencement of the French revolution. They
loved each other devotedly: and in the quiet
of love and domestic seclusion, they ceased
to regard the forgotten thunder-cloud that
lowered over them. In allusion to their situ-
alton and feelings, the son, in his "Conf-
dences," page %, eloquently says-"I re-
member once to have seen the branch of a
willow which had been torn by the tempest's
hand from the parent trunk, floating in the
morning light upon the angry surges Of the
overfowing soane. On it a female nightin,
gale still covered her nest, as it drifted down
the foaming stream; and the male on thu
wing followed the wreck, which was bear
ing away the object of his love. ."-Bosto'

Singular Cholera Test ON Fodir Mir
aers.-In Consequence Of a dispute among
the medical men at Petersburg, respecting
the contagious or. .non-contagious character
of cholera, the Gear Of Russia adopted the
following method to decide the question:
Four murderers, sentenced to death, were
put on a bed lately occupied by four. chole-
ra. patients whe had died, and yet tie MUIR
merers did not take the disease. 1t was
then announced to the murderers that they
were aboutibeing placed on beds on which
four persons died Of malignant cholera, and
that II they escaped the disease their lives
would be spared; but instead Of cholera
beds they were put on beds which had moi
been occupied by diseased persons, and YET
such was the effect of fear that the foul
died within three days.
