named Siebold taken aboard and brought
to the city. 1t appears that in June last
this Siebold and one Fawnberger killed
young man near the city by butchering
him in most shocking manner, they have
ever since been confined in Jail here until
last Sunday one week, when they with
several other prisoners broke,jail, the
Sheriff offered reward of five hundred
dollars for the return of the murderers,
dead or alive. On last Saturday it be-
came known to the police that Siebold
was skulking in the neighborhood Of Alum
creek, the officers went Immediately in
pursuit and found him some three miles
from the city, when he gave the officers
the pleasure of running some three miles
after him. The officers fred several pis-
tol shots at him but without effect, and
when Siebold crossed the rail road bridge
over Alum creek he stopped-drew re-
volver aud swore he would kill the first
man that dared to come on the bridge. -
The officers knowing he would do as he
threatened, thought it best to stay on their
own side of the bridge, when conference
took place between the murderer and his
pursuers, the prisoner offered five hundred
dollars to the officers to let him go, and
declared his determination never to be
taken alive. The officers refused to com.
promise, but demanded a surrender and
informed Siebold that if he did not lay
down his pistol and give himself up they
would shoot him, and accordingly fired
several rounds of pistol at him and dis.
charged the contents of shot gun upon
Siebold's coat but all without effect, they
then sent fer rife, loaded in the prison
ers sight, and one Of the officers levelled
the rife and took aim at Siebold calling
out to him at the same time.

you to surrendsr or win shoot you dead >
This command was answered by loud
report of the revolver in the hand of Sic.

EARLYRIsNe.-Ata talented physician remarks
that "Early rising is the stepping stone to all
that is great and good. Both the mind and
the body arc iuvigoratcd by the practice, and
much valuable time is gained that is lost to the
sluggard. 1t is the basis upon which health
and wealth arc founded. The early morning is
the best period for reflection and study; for it
is then, after refreshing sleep that the mind is
most vigorous and calm. The statesman, as well
as the merchant, arranges plans for tho com
ing day, and all passes smoothly; while he who
wastes his morning in bed loses much of the
most valuable commodity in lfc--time-aOhieh
is nerer regained. Early rising will often make
the poor man rich; the contrary will t9o often
bcggar the wealthcst. 1t will do much towards
making the weak strong and the reverse will
cnfccble the strongest. Second sleep often pro-
duces headache, anguor. There is nothing more
true than that-uc that loses an hour in the
morning is seeking it the remainder of the day
All our greatest men have been early risers {;
for instance-Ncwton, Franklin, Wellington,
Shakespeare, Milton, Reynolds, Hunter, Eldon,
Erskinc."
