PREDIcTIoS.-John Thompson, ofWall siroct
New York. says the Pross, in rhe last issue Of
his Bank Note Reporter, informs his readers
that since tho subsidence of tho financial panic
he has been closely investigating the prophesies
and the commentaries thereon, in order to see
tho draft and end Of the war now being car
red on in Europe, and from the knowledge
thus gained he ventures to predict os follows:
Turkey will BE- devourod-all Enropo will be
revoluiionized and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

terrible war that has over crimsonod tho pages
of history, has but began.

MASON AND DIxoS's LISE-What was tho
origin and purpose of it? We hear it frequently
spoken ofas connected with slavery. and as ori-
ginaHy relating to that subject: Nothing can
be further from the truth--at the time that line
wac established slavery existed on both sides
of il. A brief account Of its origin may bo OF
somo interest. AS early as the year 1859, a
dispute arose between William Penn and Lord
Baltimore respecting tho construction of their
grants, of what now form tho States of Penn
sylvania, Delaware and Maryland. Lord Bal
timore claimed to and included the 40th degree
of north latitude, and William Penn mildly yet
firmly resisted the claim. Tho debatablc land
was one degree of 80 Engli miles on tho
south of Pennsylvania, ana extended west as
far as tho State ITSELF TIE matter was finally
brought into Court Of Chancery in England.
and after tedious delays, on tho 18th day of
May. 1857, Lord Chancellor IIariwick made a
decree, awarding costs against Lord Baltimore.
and directing that commissioners should bo ap-
pointed to mark tho boundaries between tho
parties The Commissioners appointed met
at New Castle on the 9TH day of Novomber,
1775, and not boing able TO agreo seperatcd-
After further litigation and delay, tho whole
matter was settled by tho mutual agreement
between the surviving heirs of the original lit-
of the Royal Observatory, was sent to Penn
sylvania, with all tho needful astronomical in
struments to measure degree Of latitudc.-
That duty no performed, and report of his
proceedings was made to the Royal Secretary
of London, for tho year l767. This Mr.. Ma
son and Jeremiah Dixon woro appointed to run
the line in dispute. which appears to have been
done in conformity with tho Lord Chnncellor's
deoroe. This is tho famous "Mason and Dix
on's line," and the boundry between Pennsyl-
vania on the South and Marya land on tho North

will find it in Douglas History of America, pub
lished in Boston in l75l Proud's History tf

Society ofPennsylvania, and Voseys Reports,

actors in this matter think that in aftor times,
the line established with so much trouble and
expense, would ever be connected with sub
ject calculated to shake great nation to its
centre.

HAVE OXEN REASON? HAVE THEY NOT A
SENSE OF JUs1IcE?-Ono of our city fathers
(dngtice an Alderman) )ownes farm in the
neighborhood of Buffalo, on which Dutchman
was at work during the winter, driving cattle.
The man one day beat a steer numerically
while in tho yoke. He treated the animal with
great cruelty and brutality. Afterwards, while
Attempting to pass through piece of thicket
on the farm, he got ontangled and fastened in a
bush, and was seen by this very steer while strug
Cling to release himself. The animal ron 10 him,
and turning kicked him through the branches
with fury. The man though sheltered some
wha, by the brush, was severely hurt by ovcry
blow, yelling to the Alderman for help. This
gentcmen. q fair minded man, was so over
come by the ludicrousness Of the act of justice
dispensed by the steers hoofs, that he laid down
on the snow roaring with laughter, leaving Col
den TO batter away at tho entrappcd Dutch
man. The animal at last actually required to
be driven off from the fellow. Now did not
this act Of tho steer give proof of tte existence
within him. Of sense of Justicc-retributiv

MURDER MURDER!

MURDER stalks abroad through .he land un-
whipt by Justice. The sad intelligence Is con-
stantly falling upon our cars that another, and
another, and yet another victim has fallen; and
as each successive case Is related, and made
the subject of, perhaps, few mennonite con
sideraticn, the guilty agent OF the foul crime is
passed by in silence. PSrchance, word may
be cautiously spoken as to the moral turpitude
of the crime and the perpetrator Of It, but here
the mattor is suffered to rost. The man is
dead, and his family mourns his loss; still, of
what utility would it be 10 arraign the culprit
before tho bar Of justcel The deceased was
warnod of his danger and cautioned 10 beware
of those who we.o seeking to take his life, and
that was enough. The arrest and punishment
of the murdercrs cannot bring the dead TO life.
Why, thon, resort to the lawi What good can
il accomplish!
This. reader, is the way people talk and
reason, this ia the condition Of society at the
present time, even in moral. vrtuous, and en-
ightened Washington County. r
Wo are not preachers OF temperancc. That
has never boon our peculiar calling. Indeed,
our views on that question do not run PARALLEL
with those of the ultraists Of tho day. Some.
in their extrome zeal, have even accused us Of
Indifference to the cause, or seeming opposition.
Be that as it may, we are satisfied with tho
course we have pursued, and haze yet to be
convinced of our error.
Nevertheless. we boldly assert that tho crime
Of murder, morally, has frequently been and Is
now being perpetrated in our midst. We ad-
nit that it is done graduly, and, as is usually
the case, secretly. Still, it is murder, because
it is murder, and that, too, for the moanest and
the most disrespoctabe of all purposes. 1t
is murder, because it is doing that which will
operate 10 tako away life-and the character
of this offonco is supremcly mean, because tho
object of tho porpetrator Is money. Murdorors
trample upoa law-so do those TO whom We re-
for. And acting in defiance Of law, they pur-
sue their killing traffic in tho strictest secrecy
Will nothing bo done to, stop this specie of
butchery? Can no means be devised to stay

On a trial of Butcher in New York on
Thursday for selling "plated veal!'.-horriblo
disclosures were made by one oftho witnesses
named Pessinger who had been butcher, for
forty years. Among other things he swore
that he was present at an affair called a Tackle,
in which overy person participating. contributed
some article of food to be prepared for tho
dinner; this place was resort for medical
studedts, and tho body of Gibbs having been
handed over 10 the medical faculty for dissee-
ton, a wag of student conceived the idea Of
playing offa joke upon some Of the participants
at tho Tackle" he accordingly procured some
slices of the remains of tho pirate, which were
cooked and passed off as tho fiosh Of some ami
NAL; Those who partook pronounced it most
delicious.
Pessinger attended one of those "Tackles'
in his earlier days, where part of dog was
nicely cooked and served up; the meat wa,
highly praised by all who par,ook, and it set
nicely upon the stomach until the joke leaked
out, and then it would not stay down.

Change is writ on the brow Of man, ~

There is change in all things we may love,

From Foreign wars to those Of state.
