@Sprngsthe double murderer, as you have been
informed by telegraph, has been granted new tri-
al in the Court of Oyer and Terminer. He was in
Court on Saturday, when the Judges delivered

Emmes the two young men convicted of the MUIR
derof Sohan some six Of: eight weeks since, they
ikeISpring were waiting the decision of the Court
upon motion fol- new trial, but were unslccess--
full. The Court refused to listen to their prayers.
The Judge was about passing sentence of death
upon them when David Paul Brown moved for an
arrest of judgement on account of several errors in
the record. Reasons were filed and sentence was
postponed until to-d day, when an argument will be
made by Mr.. Brown, showing why sentence of
death should not be passed upon the defendants.
Since the argument for anew trial in the case of
these pnfottu nate young men, one of them EN-
mos has confessed He states that he was some
distance ahead of Cassie, and Cassie run to where
he was standing, and solicited him to run as he,
Cassie, had stuck man. This confession was
made to police officer; but Emmos has since de
MED, by affidavit, that he ever made such state
ment, and the police officer maintains his state
ment by affidavit also. The matter has crea-
ted much interest here, and all who have seen

A most shocking accident occurred few nights
since in the lower part of our city. "A fire was
discovered in an old frame building in Shipper
street. Several officers forced open the door of the
house and found a woman named Mary Murphy, .
standing in the corner of the room, and her clothes
in bright blaze. She fell to the floor few mo-
ments after the door was forced open. Her clothes
were entirely burnt from her person, and when
one of the men caught her by the arm the flesh
gave way, in fact her whole person was most hor-
ribly and shockingly burnt. The woman's child
was up stairs, and one of The officers took charge
of it, and conveyed it to his own home. tits not
known how the accident occurred, but many sus-
pect rum as the cause of the catastrophe. ajf ~
The first OF April was celebrated IN our streets by
divers FRANKS of the urchins. Any quantity OF
pocket books, and neatly tied packages were 10 be
found on the pavements. We one lady prom
enading Chestnut street, with "For Sale-very
Low" tackled on to her shawl. A gentleman
walking in Walnut street, had play bill fastened
to his coat, and in fact every species of mische-
vions prank was played of for the occasion, and

The annual commencement of the Medical De-
partment of the Pennsylvania University took
place at the NJ lsical Fund Hall on Saturday last,

numerous other colleges in city will certainly
insure the people against diseases; at least we
hope so. E
Some Of the papers here are discussing the pro-
prety of Virginia or that portion of it called the
tPan- handle" annexing itself with Pennsylvania.
They say it is of no use TO that State, but would
be exceedingly valuable 10 us, as it would give TO
Pennsylvania the right to the Ohio river for dis
lance of O0miles. OF course Virginia will era mt
this reasonable request. What do you say? y-
