In the city of Lahc ,sier, on Friday the 9Th

and pretended to have received pardon Tor
their sins, bu, we doubt whether such IN
human monsters could obtain forgiveness.
their victims were both aged 80 years, ,and
were thu mothers of large families Of chit
dren. From the following confession Of
Anderson, The murder was one of the
most fendish and revolving on record -
Confession of The nurder.-We came
on to Speedyille Forge, and there we got
our dinner. The next place we stopped
was at the mill, where We got piece to
eat. Then we came on 10 house where
there was no person at home. Henry
then said, "Let us break in, and slea!
what we CAM" but | said that would nj
do while the tavern was close. He then
said, "lel US 60 on, and we went on to
The cross roa1s on the other side OF Litiz.
We entered Liliz on tue east corner and
came to the turnpike. along which we
made our way to HE place called fldIer's
Green. Before we got there we stepped
into the woods until after dark, as it was

We came TO he old log honse on This i le

but the people were travelling TO the
Green to see a show that was there that
night, and we though, it would not be
safe 10 make the attempt. We then went
to the barn and got to drinking pretty free
ly. Al last We laid down in the barn,
and slept there that night.
We know two or three old bachelors
Qhe Binkley's) lived alone in this old log
house, and Henry supposed they had
money in the house. He seemed TO
know more about them than did, that
we had agreed on The way TO rob them,
and was only prevented by the stir of the
people going TO the "show" at Nef'sville.
AS we had been drinking hard, there is
no knowing what the consequences might
have been i; the show hadn't been there
that night!
In the morning we went TO the house
and told the man my feet were cold.
He told me we should 60 into the house
and warm ourselves. We did so, and

A HEROIC MAIDBN.-A few days ago a
slide occurred at cut on the Pltsburg d
Connelsville Railroad, at point on the
Youghog gheny, above and opposite 10
Nj Keesport, where there is sharp curve
in the river, and The track is laid wholly
on the cutting. A large rock fell and re.
NAMED directly on the track. This was
observed ty daughter of Mr.. John
Drave, who resides on the opposite side of
the liver. The male portion of the faml-
ly were absent at the time; and she, know
ing that it was about the hour when the
cars would pass that point, and that there
was no time TO be lost, ran 10 the river
side, and unloosed her fathers S skifi, row.
ed across with al possible haste, and ran
along the track in the direction of the ap-
preaching train, waving a red handker-
chief, and succeeded in attracting the al
tention of the engineer, in the very nick
of time. The brakes were applied, the
train stopped, and the danger pointed out.
1t was the opinion os the officers aboard,
that nothing but the timely warning given
bv Miss Drsve, saved The lives of all on
board the cars. The curve in the road
was so sharp that collision would have
thrown the cars o. the track down The en-
bankment in the river. The Company
have shown proper appreciation of the he
roic conduct of the young lady and the in
valuable service rendered, by presenting
he- with pass over the road for many
wears 10 come. and ordered the train 10
stop at her residence, whenever she hap
pened to be on board the cafs-a compIi-
men, and convenience al the same time.

Gathering cords Of dirty water
From the puddles far and near.

How you wriggle, now you re dashlng
Like a school, boy, hurrying late,
Dreaming of Numbering thtashing.

Round the hen-roosts in the night
One eye skinned for massa's trigger
T'other on fat hens to light
Gently now, and calmly lying
Undisturbed by ripple, may be
Nov you're twisting, like crying
Ugly, horrid, nasty baby.
In thine anger, rolling. tumbllng
Over fish pots crazy, old
Or like greeny, gaping. grumbling
When he finds that lie is sold.
