Peterson's Cheap Edition of
Wayerley Novels.

We have this day received Rob Roy, by Sir
Walter Scott, being the third volume of 7. B.
Peterson & Brothers new and cheap weekly is
sue of the Waverley Novels, by Sir Walter Scott
Giving truthful delineations of people, character
and manners-ever upholding the cause of reli-
gion, morality and virtue, they should be well
come at every Preside where these precepts are
taught. The great barrier, heretofore, to the
introduction of these works, has been the high
price at which they have been held, but this
objection is being now overcome, by the publ
cation of these works of Scott in such form
and at such a low price as to bring them within
the means of all persons whatever 10 Messrs
T. B. Peterson & Brothers, of Philadelphia
more than all other publishers are we indebted
for this new feature in American literature
The works, of Chas. Dickens, Chas Lever, Mrs
Southworth, and many other popular writer's,
have been issued from their press in a cheap
form, and their last enterprise is in giving to the
public, the works of Sir Walter Scott, complete
and unabridged, at the very low price of Is
cents for each work, or the whole series for Five
Dollar. The edition embraces the whole of the
authors works, and will be contained in 26
volumes, one of which will be issued on each
succeeding Saturday until complete. A full set
will be forwarded, free Of Postage, By Mail, to
any part of the United States, to any one, by
the publishers, on sending remittance of five
dollars to them, for the twenty six volumes So
At this low price, all persons should possess
themselves of set. and we would take this oc-
casion to advise all Of our readers to make a
remittance of Five Dollars at once, per first mail,
to T. Peterson & Brothers, Philadelphia for
the entire set, who will send them complete to
any one, free Of postage, on receipt of that sum.

The Sickles Tragedy.


On Monday last, at Washington City, CON-
meaced the preliminary business, relating to what
will undoubtly be one of the most interesting
trials on record more so from the peculiar cir
cumstances which are connected with the affair,
and by the lofty eminence of the various parties
implicated, than from any other circumstances
The public mind is worked to the highest pitch
of excitement in relation to the matter, almost
every one having formed an opinion, and are
now anxiously awaiting the decision of the court
The prosecution is conducted by the District
Attorney Ould, assisted by others, by permission
of the court. The defence is to be conducted
by noted eminent men, among whom will be
found Mr. James T. Brady and John Graham
of New York; Edwin P. Stanton of Pitts
burg; and Messrs Samuel Chiffon, and Rat
cliff of Washington. It is not known what
course will be adopted by the defence at the trial
but we here give what correspondent in Wash
ington says as to the probable course which will
be taken
have nowhere seen precise statement of the
grounds upon which the defence is technically
placed, or of the points upon which the great
will not be formally admitted by the defence, but
will of course, be readily proved by the prose-
cution, which will then rest
The evidence of Keys criminalty with Mrs.
Slckles will thereupon be offered by the defence
not, however as a justification but as showing
the state of mind in which the deed was done
which sent Key so suddenly to his account. 1t
will be commended that Mr. Sickles was in a
state of frenzy, bordering upon insanity not in
deed, to such an extent as to absolve him from
moral accountability, but sufficiently to make
the killing mansaughter in the first, second, or
third degree. Upon this ground the admissi-
hility ofthe testimony on this point viii be pressed
When it is once in, it will be made to bear upon
the question of guilt or innocence in the judy
ment of the twelve men who are to decide, will
be more direct. Practically it will be used as
justification, though introduced as matter in mi
tigation of the offence charged.
We have the report of two days proceedings,
during which time they having succeeded in
swearing only eight jurors, out of about one
hundred talesmen, the remainder being disquali-
fed either because they had formed an opinion
founded on rumor or newspaper reports, or be-
cause they were not possessed Of eight hundred
dollars worth Of worldly goods. We shall en-
deavor to place before our readers concise &C.
count Of the proceedings at the trial. which win
continue several weeks

Impromptu Transformations.

A few mornings since our citizens, more par
ticularly our business men, were taken by sur
prise at the unacountable changes which were
wrought in one short night, as if by magical
power. There was strange transformation Of
everything movable, such as signs, &c. One,
who for many years had followed the Legitimate
calling of tobacconist was according to signs
displayed in front of his domicil, hereafter to be
known as barber although he had never pas
sed razor in his life. Many curious changes
were wrought, which afforded considerable alnuse-
ment, no doubt, to the perpetrators Of the work.
We have not the slightest suspicion that the
workers of these things were of the party who a
short time before, were displaying their strength
in tearing down ratings and destroying property
of every kind, and who are deserving of short
period of confinement as their reward

Arrests.

Three young men were arrested on Friday
last, and brought before Justice Parsons, charged
with assault and battery on Mr.. John Sproat -
The circumstances are briefly these While un-
der the effect of strong drink, they entered the
Flax Factory of Mr.. Sproat, and there CON-
menced using insulting language, whereupon
they were forcibly elected from the premises =
During the fracas, one of the party struck Mr..
Sproat, which compliment was returned to the
donor. Rejecting, and being somewhat iLtimi-
dated by the decided position taken by Their
single handed opponent, they commenced using
threatening and harsh language, when they were
arrested BY Mayor Coryell and taken to the lock
up They were released on Saturday morning,
being held in bail of $500 for their appearance
at next term Of court.

Changes.

The first of April brought many changes in
the private and public business relations of our
people There seemed to have been more than
the usual number of removals among private
families. The superstitious moving on Thursday
and the disbelievers on Friday Among the re-
movals, which concern the public generally, is
the change which has taken place in the govern
ment of Moore's Hotel Mr. Gershom Moore
has taken charge of the establishment jointly
with Mr.. Amos Moore, Jr. Our jolly friend
Benny Burroughs has gone to Titusvie, where
he may be found at the Delaware House, doing
business on his own hook. We have no doubt
whatever, of the capabilities of Benny as a
landlord, Judging from our observation, and his
knowledge of the business The Brick Hotel
in New Hope, lately kept by Mr.. Samuel Miller
has passed into the hands of Mr.. Samuel Saucer
man, who has been connected with the establish
ment for some time past.

The MISSING EAsroNIAN PRoBADIY D,soov.
ERED@--A letter we learn, was receiver a few
days since by Mr. VIM. H. laval from Mr..
Yeager, who has now been absent from Easton
three weeks The letter is dated Charleston. s
c., March 29th, and the contents, as far as We
could gather, were That he (Mr. Y Yet
New York for Charleston, where he had some
business which required his attention, and that
as soon as he could get through he would return
to Boston, from which it is plain that he is of
nnsound mind as he has no business whatever in
that city
The authenticity of the letter is doubted by
some, who have seen it, but we learn that Mr.
laval, after comparing it with writing of Mr.
Us here, is satisfied of its being genuine, though
it was evidently written while he was under a
nervous arrangement
Messrs H. Chidsey and Jas L. Mingie started
for Charleston on Saturday. at the request of
the friends of Mr. Y, and will bring him home
if els there.-Easton Express April 4.

Railroad Accident.

On Saturday last, the freight train down on
the Belvidere Delaware Railroad, came in con-
tact with wagon loaded with cross ties which
was at the time crossing the track at private
road crossing near the Prallsvils Mills. The
wagon was demolished, but the team escaped
without injury. Considerable damage was oc-
easioned to the train, although twas not thrown
from the track The engineer could not see the
team, on account Of the heavy curve in the
road, sufficiently soon to avoid the disaster.

THE NICARAGUAN DIFFICULTY. w AsHINGToN
April 5.-The dispatches sent to Gen. Lamar
are, it isrepresented, of the most positive char
acter. They instruct him to demand from Mica
ragua an apology, restitution, and indemnity,
on the failure to comply with which he is to ask
for his passports.
The home squadron, it is said, will be strength
ened, and vessels placed at the disposal OF Gen.
Lamar to use them for the defence OF American
citizens, their property and their vested rights
The dispatches to flag officers Mckinney and
Long commanding, respectively, the home and
Pacific squadrons, are to obey the orders ofGen.
Lamar. Failing to receive them, they are to
exercise latitudinous discretion.
The usual diplomatic course has been pursued
in informing the foreign legations of the inten-
tions of this Government.

Horse Thieving.

On Friday last, an apparently aged man came
to New Hope, and put up for the night at the
Brick Hotel While there, he was endeavoring
to hire horse and carriage Of the landlord, to
go to Newtown, as he said to transact business
in the Bank. The landlord would not allow his
team to go without the driver, who usually drove
it, accompanied it. This not suiting the appli-
cant exactly, he crossed over to this side of the
river and succeeded in hiring handsome team
from the livery stable kept by Mr.. Kline and on
Saturday morning, started on his road to New
town, promising to return the same night. Mr.
Klines suspicious that the man did not intend to
return, were aroused the following morning at
the non-appearance of the man and team and
having made known the circumstances, and de-
scribed the man, his fears of the worst were rea-
lied The description of the man, agrees pre-
cisely with the description of the noted Methodist
preacher horse thief, who within the last few
months. has visited Bethlehem, Belvidere, and
several other places, for the purpose of plumber,
and whose smartness at horse theving is of the
keenest kind Mr.. Kline started in pursuit of
the william on Sunday morning, but returned
without having heard anything Of him, in fact,
he could hear nothing of him after he left this
place. The. man is described as middle size,
about sixty years Of age, gray hair, well dressed
IN black clothes, with white cravat, and has
much the appearance ola clergyman. The horse
IS q dark sorrel, with three white feet and blaze

THE GEORGETOWN, DEL, MESSENGER says
that some time last week the wife of man in
Dagsborough Hundred left her husband, and
with young man took up her residence in Mills
boro. The husband made his appearance one
day and the two men proceeded from the house
and sat down upon a log and calmly talking the
matter over, regarding it in all its bearings -
The result of the conference was, that the young
man who was in possession of the wife agreed to
give the lawful, but injured and forsaken hus-
band, the sum ofseuen dollars and dog or his
wife. Thus was this difficult and dangerous
business compromised to the full satisfaction of
all parties Concerned, and the former husband,
having abandoned all right. title, and claim in
favor of the lover, took his departure immedi-
ately.

a subscriber informs us that the cit-
zens Of Lebanon were considerably excited last
week, by the fact that family in that village
came very near losing their lives by the pipe from
coal stove being carelessy pushed so far into
the chimney as to entirely stop the draft, and
consequently the gas from the burning coal soon
filed the apartment where they were asleep, eau
sing stupor and faintness, from which they
were with some difficulty aroused. People should
lie cautioned against such carelessness, and look
to their chimney.
