ESSEX COUNTY.


Two men, Marshall and Ross, have been
convicted at Salem of the wilful and malicious
burning of two barns, on Eastern Point,
Gloucester, belonging to Mr.. Niles, in the
night time, in February of last year. The
barns, some half mile apart, and the upper
one very near the dwelling house of Mr. Niles,
wered fired at the same time, and entirely con-
sumed, together with their contents, consist
ing of cattle, hay, sc. Very little direct evi-
dence was submitted, but circumstances had
from the first moment pointed at the two de-
PENDANTS so strongly that the eyes of the com.
munity have been fixed upon them and upon
them alone from the night of the fire to the
present moment.
The Lynn News says, in one of our shoe
manufactures, several punches of matches
were placed in a large earthen pitcher, on a
shelf under the cellar stairs soon after, the
pitcher was found empty, and the remains of
the matches on the floor, almost entirely eaten
up by mice. 1t is singular that the matches
had not been ignited, If they had been, the
fire would probably have been attributed to in
cendaries.
On Monday evening the grocery store of
Norcross & Co, in South Reading, was burnt.
The fire originated in the bursting of fluid
lamp, which communicated the flames to a
fluid barrel and thence to the building and its
contents, which were consumed.
Hannah Cough, who was so badly burnt at
Amesbury, by the upsetting of fluid lamp
two weeks ago, died on Monday morning.

TO ADyERTIsERS ,
noLLAR.woRsH1p.

We often hear of man aoorship, and are point
ed to the Old World, where Kings and Queens,
Princes and Princesses, Dukes and Duchesses,
are so much adored by the populace; but we
need not look to other lands for an exemplif-
cation Of do1ar-,oorship. The pride of birth is
uppermost in the mind of the European, and
the pride of wealth in the American. The one
points to a long line of privileged ancestry; the
other to his houses and lands and his bags of
gold. 1t was once said by an eminent and
sarcastic divine, that the American creed con-
sisted of three articles, viz. Il believe in the
golden eagle; / believe in the silver dollar; l
believe in the copper cent" We may be 10th
to acknowledge the creed to be a national char
acterstic but that it contains too much truth,
and has too many followers, cannot be gain
sayed. 1t is astonishing how the public mind
is swayed and controlled by the influence of
wealth. The man of corrupt passions, and
even the veriest dot, if possessed of wealth, is
raised above the virtuous poor and the really
meritorous in the humble walks of life. We
have seen the sons of poor men despised, ne
elected, and abused, because they were poor;
and we have seen the vicious sons of rich men
caressed and honored because their fathers
were rich. We have seen the errors of the
poor heralded before the world, and the crimes
of the wealthy winked at, or hidden beneath
bride of gold,
Poverty-poverty in the common accepta-
ton of the TERMS thing dreaded by man.
kind, and is often placed among the catalogue
of crimes. This is the poverty that fellowships
with rags and beggary. But there is another
species of poverty, the most despicable that
can be imagined, and more to be dreaded than
all other earthly ills and maladies combined.
We mean the poverty Of soul with which rich
men are often afflicted, and the only poverty to
be dreaded Men who Cypress and cheat the
poor-men who make wealth the standard of
their God, and whose devotions consist of dol
lar-acorship, are the selfmade victims of this
poverty of soul, compared to which the desti-
tuition of property is heaven-sent blessing.
We do not find fault with wealth in the abb
stract. 1t is well in its place-in the hands of
those who estimate it at its true value In the
hands of the wise, it is blessing in the hands
of fool, it is a curse. The fool is he who
prizes it above honor, virtue, and good name
above talent and intelligence-and who
thinks, because he has it, he is consequently
entitled to more respect than he would be with
out it. A more fallacious idea never entered a
lunatic's brain. Its unsoundness and absurdity
are apparent to every man of discernment;
and yet three-fourths of every community sup
port it by their blind alteration of wealth,
which is dolIar-soorsRp.

SHOCKING WIFE MURDER "A most re-
voting attempt at wife murder occurred in
Forty-seventh street. yesterday afternoon.-
The would-be murderer was Michael Kelley,
brutal porter-house keeper. About o'clock
he went to his house in Forty-seventh street,
near Sixth Avenue, in state of intoxication.
His wife reproved him for coming into her
presence in such a state, whereat he seized an
iron shovel and assaulted her with the ferocity
of a savage. In spite of her shrieks and en-
treaties, he struck her upon the head with the
shovel, and would have cloven through her
skull had she not broken the force of the blow
with her arm. She chung to him and begged
for life, but he thrust her from him, and renew
ed the attack. In few seconds he had in
f1icted two frightful gashes in her cheeks, cut
her nose nearly off, and laid her skull bare in
several places while she lay upon the floor
She tried to crawl away from the mailman but
he followed her up, repeating his blows until
the floor and the furniture of the room were
covered with blood, and the poorwoman sense
less and apparently dead. He then went to
the CRATE and with his bloody shovel took out
the live Goals and heaped them upon the body
of his wife. This accomplished he sat down
near the body, gloating over his bloody work,
while the cotton garments of his wife burst in
to flames. He was sitting in the same place,
his hands and clothing red with gore, appar-
entity enjoying the spectacle, when the officers
and neighbors came in. After extinguishing
the flames, they found that there was still some
little life left in the woman, and sent immedi-
ately for a physician Officer Whitmore took
the prisoner before Justice Kelley, who held
him to await the result of his wife's injuries.

1NDIGNATIoN AMONG THE GERMANs-The
German citizens Of Boston and vicinity held an
enthusiastic meeting, Thursday evening, to
protest against the new amendment to the
Constitution, requiring an additional residence
of foreigners, before being clothed with the
right of suffrage. Dr. Douai spoke warmly of
the injustice of the amendment, and read a
series of resolutions which were received with
hearty and prolonged applause. They refer
with peculiar bitterness to the fact that the
Republican party has made itself, to certain
extent, responsible for this insidious assault
upon adopted citizens, and close by inviting
their own countrymen especially, and all per-
sons of foreign birth, to form seperate organ
ization ready to unite with only such a party
as will apportion the rights of citizenship no
more according to birth" than human rights
according to complexion. This is a natural
consequence of all legislation intended to affect
disastrously any body of citizens as class.

TEMPERATURE OF THE WINTER.-The aver
age temperature of the month of February,
1853, was 3l.711 degrees. Friday, the 18th,
was the coolest day, the average temperature
of that day being $4,000 deg ; and Sunday the
10th, was the warmest, the average temperature
being 46.66 degrees. The average tempera-
ture of February, 1858, was 25.4l deg. The
average temperature of the three Winter
months ending March LIST, 1856, was 27.31 deg !;
of those ending March LIST, 1856, was $3.50
deg; of those ending March LIST, 1867, was
1881 deg. of those ending March 1st 1863
was 3lO9 deg land the average temperature
Of those ending on Tuesday, was 23.99 deg
BY this il will be seen that this last winter was
colder than that of 1868, and warmer than that
of the others mentioned.

THE RATES OF POSTAGE NOT TO BE RAISED.
Among the few good things which the House
of Representatives did during its last hours,
was the defeat of the Senate bill for increasing
the rates of postage. This movement was led
by Mr.. Grow, of Pennsylvania, to whom the
people should be thankful. A more unpopular
and unwise scheme than that of placing an adj
ditional tax on the means of intelligence, could
not be devised by any Congress. If there is
measure on which the people of this country
are united, it is that of cheap postage; and the
party or faction that opposes it, will find itself
without supporters

GREAT WINDFALL.-On the third of Feb
ruary, Albert David, Russian, formerly
resident of Albany was committed to the
penitentiary of Rochester, by H. j. Burr,
Justice of the Peace, for thirty days, as
vagrant. He requested to be taken care of,
as he was without money, friends or employ
ment. On Friday, gentleman arrived at
Rochester, from New York, inquiring for him,
and furnishing the information that this va
grant was heir to an immense fortune in Rus
STA, valued at over two million of dollars.
The father and brother Of David have died
within the last four months-the brother by
being thrown from a horse in England, the
father dying from disease in Russia. The
gentleman who gave this information stated
that he was the banker of David's father, and
that the news Of the death of the father and
brother had just reached him. He stated,
moreover, that David came to this country
two years ago, having sixty thousand dollars
in his possession; that thirty thousand were
lost by bank failures during the panic, and
that the rest was squandered. David is now
lying ill in the penitentiary, A petition is in
circulation for his release, which will be sent

WHALE HUNT IN ORKNEY-CAPrURE OF
SEVENTY WHALEs.-On the night of Tues
day, the 9Th ult., about 10 o'clock, when very
dark, with pour down of rain, the villagers
of st. Mary's Holm were surprised by
strange hubbub and noise in Holm Sound, the
like of which they had never heard before.
Nothing daunted, however, the villagers turn
ed out to man, mastering some ten boats,
got afloat four men on an average to each
boat, and found a flock of "bottle noses"
that had lost their reckoning, blowing off
steam quite near the village. Battle was
given Immediately, and after short but hot
pursuit, and some bloody work, the whole
flock Of seventy was stranded little east of
the village, amongst rugged rocks, everything
pitch dark as could be- The carnage the yell
ing and noise that took place in the middle of
that dismal night, may be imagined, but not
described. Pitchforks, grapples, scythe blades,
and few lances were got from the village,
and any other lethal weapon that could do the
slightest execution. 1t is a wonder that no
accident happened, as the men had to fight
from the boats, not being able to land on the
slippery rocks, with deep holes betwixt them

A LION AT LARGE ON BOARD SH1p.@An
alarming incident occurred on board of an Eng
fish war steamer on her recent voyage from
Malta to England. The steamer had on board,
as presents to Queen Victoria from the EN-
peror OF Morocco a lion and buffalo, besides
several other animals. Owing to some care
lessness on the part of his keeper Ia Moor)
the lion, q fine full grown animal, burst through
his cage door, and speedily cleared the deck
of human beings. As may be imagined, the
utmost CONSERVATION was occasioned on board
the ship, and the passengers and crew took the
speediest measures for their safety, the latter
taking refuge in the rigging of the vessel
The king of the forest land pro tenn. of the ship
also) condescended in his short DECENTRALIZATION
to smell " the buffalo, who was tied up in an
adjoining stall, and the latter showed fight by
making vigorous butt at his majesty, who
resented the attack by flooring his opponent
with one stroke of the paw. The lion, it is
said, had command of the deck for some time
until rope was thrown over his head and
hauled taut. The animal struggled to free
himself, but his legs were secured, and he was
hauled back to his den.

EvERErT's OPINION OF LOUIS NAPOLEON.
In the last of the mount Vernon Papers"
published in the New York Ledger, Edward
Everett gives history of the present French
Emperor, and closes with the following Ian
guage:
"He has given to France the strongest gov
ernment-equivalent, fear, in that country to
the best goyernment-which she has had since
the downfall of his uncle. He has completed
public works, beneath which the magnificent
profusion of Louis the Fourteenth staggered.
He has decorated and improved Paris beyond
all his predecessors on the throne, and project
ed and accomplished the most gigantic under
takings throughout the interior and along the
coasts of France. Abroad he has consolidated
the conquest of Algeria-maintained an I'M
doubted superiority for France over the armies
of England associated with her in the Crimea
formed a firm alliance with Great Britain,
against whom his uncle waged an internecine
war for twenty years; ant has restored his
country to her former rank in the politics of
Europe. In accomplishing these objects, the
press has been fettered and the tribune ST.
fenced and those liberties, which the Anglo
Saxon mind regards as the final cause of the
political societies of men, have been grievously
abridged. But France has yet to show that
she is capable of enjoying them in peace"
