The Old Arm Chair.

| love it. love it, and WHO shall dare
10 chilc mc for loving the old arm chair?
I've treasured it long as n sainted prize.
lvehcdewd it with tears, and en,bracodit with
sighs
Nlfs bound bya thousand hands to my heart
Not tic will break, not link will start
Would yc learn the spell n mother sat there,
And sacred thing is that old arm chair
In childhood's I;Uur fingered near.
The halldw5d seat with listening ear,
And gentle words that mother would Give
10 nj me to die, and teach me to live
She told mo shame would never bctidc
WIN WIN truth for my creed and God for my guide
She taught me to lisp my earliest prayer,
AS knelt beside that old arm chair
] sat and watched her many day,
When her eyes grew dim, and her locks were
gray,
And almost worshippcd her when she smiled,
Nnd turned FROM her bible to bless her child.
Years relied On, but the last one spcl--
My idol was shattered, my Garth star fed,
learnt how much the heart can bear,
When saw her die in that old arm chair.
'TiS past It's past but I gaze ON it now.
With quvcrng breath and thrubbing brow
Twas there she nurscd me, twas there she died
And memory flows with lava tide.
Say it is folly, and deem me weak,
While the scaldng drops start down my check,
| love ii, love it, and who shall tear
My soul from my mothers old arm chair.

SEIBoLD, one of the murderers who es-
capped from the Jail in Franklin County, be-
ing closely pressed by the officers who were
pursuing him, on Saturday last, blew his
brains out with a pistol. He was a Ger
man, about SO years of age, was charged
with the murder of Henry Korrell, and a re-
ward of $500 was offered for his recapture.
The circumstances of the murder are briefly
as follows: On Sunday, the 9th day of last
June, a picnic was had in a grove about one
mile from Columbus, on the Lancaster pike,
at which a row was raised, in which SeibolG,
John Fronenberger, and a man named Volk
were badly whipped. These three immedi-
ately went to Columbus, armed themselves,
andreturned to the scene OF the fight: but
on the road they unfortunately met Henry
Korrell, who was returning from the picnic
in company with a male friend and his wife.
Korrell had taken no part in the previous
fight at the grove, but upon meeting him
Seibold and the other leaped from the wagon
and attacked Korrell. Seibold stabbed him
| with a large butcher knife in the region OF
the heart while Fronenberger knocked him
upon the head, and from these wounds Kor-
! rell died within two hours. s.,
