The old readers of the Union will
recollect the murder, some years since,
of Mr.. HALL, a merchant of Planktown,
Richland county, a full account of which
we published at the time. Two Irish
men were arrested, tried and acquitted.
Justice, however, appears at last to have
ovcrtaken the real criminal, as appears
by the following, which We copy from
the Shield and Bn1n1cr:

appears that some time last fall, JOHN
GEDDEs, of L~oudonville, disappeared
without having settled his subscription
go the Union, amounting to S2,47. We
mention the circumstance, as is our GUS

paragraph should meet his eye, that he
will remit the amount without further
delay.

port of 2as pages, with the following
glorifcation of their own industry and
honesty;
"Your committee have now DISCHARGED
the arduous and responsible duties With
which they we're charged. Our task has
been one of great labor and responsibility.
We have averaged twelve hours hard la.
Dor for every day we have charged the
State.
I'VE nave travelled nights and worked
days. We have had no moments of leis-
ure. The committee are under many
obligations to the various officers of State
for the promptness with which they
have responded to our numerous de-
mands upon their offices and time.
"Our report is before you. In the main
it is based upon tae sworn testimony of
witnesses. They have spoken under the
solemcni;ies of an oath, and relying up.
on their statements your committee have
drawn up this report. Errors there
may be in it, but if so, they are attribu.

have relied for information.

who have Systematically plundered the
State. Their acts are a much scverer
condemnation of them than any word.

port with the fullest confidence that il
will IN a measure stay the tide of public
plumber aud private peculation."
Further notice of this report we post

iy searched Wards premises, aud found
most indubitable evidence that the wo-
man had been foully murdered, and that
her body had been burnt in her own
house! In a pile of ashes near the
pouse, human bones were fouud-au up-
ser jaw, almost entire, and pieces of a
kull. Two fnger-riDgs were also found.
which were recognized as those worn by
Mrs. Ward. The citizens who made the
search found abundant evidence, as they
thought, that the effects of Mrs. Ward
had been all burnt. The lock of her
trunk, pieces of dresses, hooks and eyes,
and other articles were found. The
citizens searched farther: The bed
clothes in the house had the appearance
of having been recently washed. Ga
opening the bolster and bed, the feath-
ers were found covered with blood
Blood was also found on a nat in .he
upper part of the house. A minute
search revealed traces of blood in other
parts of the house.
Whether the woman had been stab.
bed, or shot, they could not tell; but
that she had been foully murdered, and
her corpse burnt, they were satisfied
anu az OhSC PI'CGCucu ~ CduSc the sec
oud arrest of Ward. He was arrested
and again examined before Mr.. Justice
Clark, and was committed to the jail il
this city to await trial before the mex
term Of the Court of Common Pleas for
murder in the first degree.
During Wards trial the Justices of
fee was crowded to suffocation, and The
excitement is tremendous Throughout,
tha township.
Ward is a tailor by trade. He ha.
been married three times. He married
the deceased in Adrian some time las
summer, and carried her to Sylvania.-
We are told they did not live together
pleasantly. Once, as before stated. the
woman temporarily left him, in conse
quence, it was supposed, of bad treat
ment.
Ward is about forty years old-oI
medium height, thick set and horid
faced, and his head is somewhat bald
We saw him in Jail yesterday. He was
lying on a rough bench, apparently in &
sound sleep.
The SYLvANrA TRAGEDY.-No more
light has been thrown on this shocking
affair, since cur last. Ward, who is in
Jail, accused of committing the foul and
unnatural murder, maintains the utmos
nonchalance. He was visited by quite
a number of persons yesterday.-Com

PENN. MEDICAL UNIVERSITY.

We have just received the Catalogue and
Announcement of the penn. Medical Uni
versity of Philadelphia" Male and Female
Departments, for lS57-58, with the Valedic-
tory address to the Graduating Glass, by Pro-
fessor Jos. S. Longshore, NJ. d. There are
~ gentlemen graduates, and 9 ladies' Mat
thew NewSirk, Esq, President
This young institution is based upon more
liberal principles than any other medical
school in the country. While it processes to
teach thoroughly and extensively the regular
or prevailing practice, it also gives to every
other system of the day a liberal appreciation;
1t rejects no newly discovered truth. because
1t may be identified with prescribed dogma.
This new feature is worthy of due cnsidera-
tion from medical students, as it must be con-
tesscd, that even out of Nazareth may come
some good things, in these days and the
sick are entitled to all the advantages afford
ed by the healing art, let them be connected
with what particular ism they may.
The Female Department, separate from, but
in every respect equal to that of the Male.
evinces iberality, ON the part of the insti-
tuition, not to be found in most medical
schools. The matter of educating women in
medicine is rapidly gaining in popular favor,
and those educated in the same institution
with the other sex, and who have enioyed
equal facilities, must, of necessity, have a.
warded to them a greater amount of public
confidence than can reasonably be expected
by those educated under less advantageous
circumstances. In the list of Trustees, are
numbered some of the most wealthy and in
fluental citizens of Philadelphia.
The Valedictory Address vindicates with
great force and clearness, the peculiar charac-
toristcs of the University. We cheerfully
commend the pamphlet to the perusal of our
readers. IL may be obtained by addressing

ORANGE PEEL.-The especial attention of
parents and others is called to the following
facts A little son of Robert Oliver, of New
York, about five years Of age, is now lying in
very critical condition from the effects of
eating Orange peel. Parents cannot be too
cautious in keeping orange peel from their
children as 1t contains an active poisonous
oil, which in many instances has caused the
death Of persons who indscreetly made use
of them. Life is ieopardzed every time the
rind is taken into the stomach.
HAIL SroRM--A great hail storm passed
over Central Vermont, Wednesday afternoon,
through the towns Of Roxbdry. Mortified
and Willamstown, and some other towns in
Washington County. Hail stones fell, meas
uring three inches in diameter, completely
covering the ground, cutting up the grain,
running gardens, and breaking great deal of
glass.
