OF course, High Constable Blackburn
could do nothing more than seek further
traces of the murderer, and with the assist
ance of officers of the Reading Railroad
and others, he was tracked to hotel in
West Market street, Philadelphia, where
all clue was lost. Prior to leaving Potts
vile, however, some disposition of the pro-
perty left by M'Kim was necessary, and
Blackburn was but little disposed to let it
fall into the hands of the two lewd females.
They were turned out, stripped of their
fnery, and it and the personal property
sold at public sale for the benefit of the
friends of Norcross. This was the result
of decision made by Hon. Francis w.
Hughes, most able legal adviser, acting
as counsel for High Constable Blackburn
who had the affair in charge. The two
girls left the borough on the 7th of February,
amid the shouts and discharge Of missiles
from children, and the house was broken
up, to the great pleasure of the citizens OF
Pottsville.
No doubt in the world exists that NJ Kim
is really the murderer, At Reading the
girls saw the baggage checks that he had
got at pittsburg for his own and Norcross'
trunks, and a landlord at the same place
saw the two stolen bonds in his possession
From his youth upward he has been an
outcast from society. He was born of pa
rents from The British Provinces, but his
people now live in New Jersey. They
formerly resided, for twenty years, with
him, IN Chester county, in this State. lie
was obliged to fly from that place to the
West, being charged with twenty three
cases of horse stealing, and bigamy, having
no les, than four wives. One of these is
now living in Delaware county, another at
Wilmington, Delaware, and another in New
Jersey. The fourth cannot be found. -
When residing at Pottsyille, he was about
to marry one oil the girls, and presented
her with g Id watch engraved with hel
name and his, in conjunction.
The two trunss Of the men came on and
reached Philadelphia in due time That o
Norcross was sent to his friends, but tha
Of NJ Kim is as yet unclaimed.
The rewards that have been offered fol
the arrest Of this murderer are as follows
Gov. Pollock, $1,000; Gov. of Massachu
sets, $1,000; people Of Altoona, $500.

The Noble Revenge,

The coffin was plain one "a poor mis-
erablc pine coffin. No flowers on its top
no lining of rose white satin for the pale
brow--no smooth ribbons around the coarse
shroud. The brown hair was laid decently
back, but there was no crimped cap, with
its neat tie beneath the chin. The sufferer
from cruel poverty smiled in her sleep

The Unseen Battlefield.

The Unseen Battlefield.
There is an unseen battle. field
In every human breast,
Where two opposing forces meet,
And where they seldom rest.
That field is yelled from mortal sight,
"Iis only seen by one
Who knows alone where victory lies,
When each days fight is done.
One army clusters strong aud fierce,
Their chief of demon form;
His brow is like the thunder cloud,
His voice the bursting storm.
His captains, Pride, and Lust, and Hate,
Whose troops watch night and day,
Swift to detect the weakest point,
And tbirstipg for the fray.
Contending with this mighty force
Is but little band
Yet there with an unquailing front,
Those warriors firmly stand
Ihetr leader is God-ikc form,
OF countenancc serene;
And glowing on his naked breast
A simple cross is seen.
His captains, Faith, and Hope, and Love,
Points to that wondrous sign,

They feel it speaks glorious truth,
A truth as great as sure,
That to the victors they must learn

Impart holy calm;
For every deadly blow shield,
For every wound balm,
And when they win that battlefield,

Spring from the fertile sod
And breathe the perfume of their praise
