body itself betrayed evident syrntoms of
recent disinterment. Stillin spite of every
endeayor, no portion of the stolen property
jthe ring excepted,) could be brought to
light
The prisoners, meanwhile, stoutly MAIN
tanned their innocence, and doubts began to
be apprehended as to whether we could
bring forward sufficient proofs to insure
conviction. Under all circumstances IL
was thought advisable TO make overtureS
to the Younger Marsh, whom we had rea-
son to believe less implicated than the
other. After little decent hesitation, he
consented to be admitted kings evidence,
and it was from him that learned at last
the full particulars of the mysterious trans
action.
1t appeared that, en- the night of the
murder, Giles Roper, having quilted me,
proceeded to join the two brothers and the
sexton, at the house of the latter; thence
after waiting a sufficient time. the whole
party returned to the Black Lion, and leav-
ing the Marshes to keep guard over the old
servant, the landlord followed BY the SEX
ton entered the house, and made his way
to the fatsl chamber. Here, while the lat
ter WAS employed in collecting the booty,
Giles, with an iron grasp, seized the lady
by the throat, and with his left hand pessed
heavily on her mouth. So suddenly and
so successfully was the movement executed,
that not noise escaped her; u few con-
vulsive struggles, and all was over.
The sexton was next dispatched, togeth-
er with the witneas. to convey the spoil to
a place of security-no other than the an
tique tomb before mentioned, q large stone
of which, though apparently a firm as ma
sonry could made it, opened readily to one
who knew the secret. Meanwhile, Roper
and his accomplice, with the old man, pin
ioned and blindfolded, behind them, drove
off 10 the wild-more fen, and, having drag
ged their victim to the edge Of one of those
deep pools, then so common in that dis
triet, fastened bag of shot about his neck,
and plunged him headlong in. Notwith-
standing the igenuity with which this fiend-
ish scheme had been contrived, suspicion,
as has been seen, attached so strongly to
the real perpetrators, that they were oblig-
ed to fly for g. time from its effects. Before
they separated, they all bound themselves
by an oath, too horrible to repeat, to meet
on that day twelvemonth in the church,
there TO divide their ill-gotten wealth as
chance might decide; and at the instigation
of the sexton, they had on the appointed
night dragged their dead companion from
his grave and compelled him to fulfill his
share of the engagement. The result of
this meeting has been shown; it remains
but to add, that the lost treasure was found
in the old hiding place, and that The two
murderers were condemned, executed and
gibbeted by the roadside, Immediately op-
! osite the scene of their foul crime.

Seeds-.Get them Ready and
Prove them.

Go into any well conducted seed store
at almost any season of the year and
you will see tumblers or other ves-
sells in warm place, and partly fl
led with water, with wad of cotton on
the top of 1t. An examination of these
vessels, will show you sundry seeds of va
rious kinds lying upon the cotton or i'm
beded in it, where they are nor actually in
water, but are supplied with moisture con-
stantly drawn up up from the water below
the cotton. In this arrangement the seeds
men are trying the vitality of the seeds
they have to sell.
Now this same process, or one equally
as good and with the larger grain better,
should be put into practice at once by ev-
cry farmer and gardener. How oftenis the
labor and other outlays upon a whole field
lost by the failure of seed to veperate.-
But a single hours time will suffice to test
all the seed for whole farm. Take corn
and turnip seed for example.
Select from the whole mixed mass of
seed to be used, say fifty to one hundred
grains, if the total quantity be large, and
plant these in soil placed in earthen pots
or boxes, and keep them moderately moist
and warm. A very few days will show
whether the whole seed, or what proper
ton of ii, will vegetate. 1t is always bet
ter to make two separate trials of each
mass of seed, in order to guard against the
accidents of wrong temperature, moisture,
&c. For small parcels of costly seed, the
trial need not be made with more than
halfa-dozen taken at random from the
whole mass. If the common stcne-ware
flower pots are convenient, any other ves-
sci or box may be used. The ordinary
earthern table bowls may be used, but it
is always best to have hole in the bot
tom through which water mpy be taken
up by capillary attraction (be sucked up)
to the surface.
The tumbler of water with cotton upon
the surface will, in most cases, suffice for
sprouting seeds, but if they fail in this way,
at least two trials in earth should be made
beft re a final condemnation. 1t is suf-
fieient test if the seeds merely start little
germ. The south window of a cellar, or
better, that of warm sitting-room, will
furnish good place for setting the testing
vessels. Ofcourse if YOU have hot-house
that is still better.
We deem this of importance especially
when seeds are purchased of dealers upon
whose integrity You cannot confidently rely,
and even then it is well to try their seeds,
as well as those of your own production,
since the terminating power is lost BY over
heating, or otherwise in transportation, as
we'll as during storage in the granary.-
The trial will cost next to nothing, and one
can plant and SOW with far more confidence
and one pleasure if absolutely certain that
his seed is alipe. Let this matter be atten-
ded to now, so that time may be had to re-
place any seed which chances to be defect
i've.

PIcKPocKETs ON THE RAILRoAp.-Fri-
day morning last, a man named Joseph
Horner was robbed of $500 in money on
the train coming west on the Central rail-
road, due here at one o'clock. The money
was composed of $40 and $40 note cn
the bank of Pittsburgh, $50 gold piece,
and the remainder in Harrisburgh paper,
was taken from his pocket, while sleeping
between Harrisburgh and Greensburgh, as
Mr.. H. is certain he had it when he left the
former point. The gentleman was emigra-
ting to the West with his family, and the
loss rendered him entirely destitute of
means. Through the kindness of Mr.. 7.
A. Scott, Superintendent of the Western
Division of the road, he was furnished with
a free pass, and enabled to return TO his
home at Hanover, York County, Pa.
Asplendid setter dog which Mr.. Horner
had with him, and intended taking to the
west, was presented to officer Patterson, Of
the Mayors police, in return for his efforts
to ferret out the thieves, though, this so
far has proved unsuccessful.
Railroad pickpockets have become an IN,
tol,rable nuisance to travellers lately, and
great many facilities are offered on our
niSht trains to commit robberies. Cannot
some remedy be devised for this evil9-

A German Funeral.

The Vermont Journal has correspond
ent in Berlin, who describes German fu-
neral thus:
Yesterday, 1 attended the funeral of
Mrs. Kranichfeid, the wife of Professor
Krainchfeid, of the University. Around
this excellent mother, deceased at the age
of fifty stood her thirteen. children, three
sons-in-law, and two grand children. The
coffin was ola style which l have seen only
in Germany, the height being about two
and half times the usual or necessary
measure, the breadth and length diminish
ing from below upwards, by successive
grooves outward and upward. Being in
clined at an angle of 45o, each groove di-
minishes the absolute width of the coffin,
and so OH to the top, which becomes quite
narrow aud comparatively short. The
whole was ornamented by wreathes and bo-
quets and numerous single flowers. The
room was with closed window shutters, and
lighted by chandeliers. each of the chill
dren of the deceased having one or two
candles.
Two elergymen were present. one of
whom opened the exercises, the other clos
ed them with remarks and prayer. The
reading of the scriptures and words of ex-
hortation and consolation were by men,
bers of the family. The singing was of
lines prepared for the occasion, some of
them composed by the deceased while vet
in health few weeks before her DEATH
The procession walked, singing, to the fam
lily burying ground in the spacious garden
attached to the mansion, and returning to
the house, the father had yet word of
consolation to his family, and thanked the
audience for their Kindness in assisting on
the solemn occasion,

THE CHINESE SUGAR CAEE.-A gen.
tleman in New York has sent the editor
of the Post a sample of very good brandy,
made from the syrup of the new sugar
plant. the Sorgho, or Chinese sugar-cane.
He says it costs about thirty cents per gal
lon to produce, and is worth in the market
from 81 to 50 per gallon, according TO
quality. In a note he says:
The manufacture of spirit from the sorg-
no may now be carried on by our farmers
in the winter season, when there is no 9TH
er occupation for them, at the rate of a
gallon of proof spirit for each gallon of
fermented syrup. This will find ready
sale at the rectiier's, who will turn il into
alcohol for camphene and other purposes.
The quantity of alcohol now used for the
purposes Of illumination alone, to say MOTH
ing of varnishes, chloroform and medici-
nal extracts, is enormous, and was begin
ming to have a serious effect on the price
Of bread, owing to the Wholesale destruc-
tion of the cereals required to produce it.
Now, however, we have found a substi-
tute, which, besides supplying syrup and
alcohol, will also yield from the same crop
a large amount of forage and grain for
the fattening of stock. . ..t.
