Sessions on Friday, terminated yesterday IN the
conviction Of the prisoner. The jury rendered
verdict of guilty, after absence OF twenty-five
minutes and Judge Russell sentenced him to be
executed on the 22d of July.
The weekly report of deaths up to Saturday, 18th
inst shows the mortality Of the week to have been
500 of which 200 were males and l60 females. or
this number So were men, IS women, and the bal
apce, 2l9, children, of whom l92 were five years of
age and under. The report shows a slight increase
in the number Of deaths over those of last week,
when they were 357, but decrease of Al as com
pared with the corresponding week Of 1868. OF
the whole number 254 were natives of this country.
The diseases most prevalent were principally those
of the brain and nerves, numbering IS, and of the
lungs, throat &C., amounting to 81, and also COM
plsints affecting the stomach and bowels, of which
there were so deaths. There were Is deaths from
violent causes an unusual number. Among fevers'
scarlet seems most prevalent, there being l6 deaths
reported. OF other fevers there were but few

more than forty years ago, when they deprived
Der of the right of selecting her own rulers and
imposed upon her dethroned aud detested
dynasty. Even now they are in danger of
committing the same error in seeking to
preserve the foreign and hated rule of Austria
In Italy. In either event they will drive the

The Pursuit of knowledge.

We are all pursuing the same onJecC' "hether
If is to ba n our exa1tation or to our debase-
ment-whether for our future benefit or our
future degradation. We are all striving to gain
information from the world and its inmates, some
with more discriminating judgment than others,
in crser ITO find the true road to future impor-
rance. We learn, from every thing which trans
pires. sonae lesson, which, if properly applied,
NAV in same manner reward US. Not single
action of a single one of the mighty concourse
upon this world, but has it's moral which, if
developed, may not be wanting of the power Of
inspiring men to the energetic pursuit of good;
sf all events, as much can be learned from the
actions of men prompted by the heart, even if
that heart beats under frieze as if it beat under
velvet. 1t is not the knowledge which we gain
from books, which is at all times the means of
rendering US happy The great law of "know
myself" must be thoroughly catechized first,
next the study of human nature, not as it come
to us painted in all the fanciful sketchngs OF
the artist, but as we meet it in our every day
walks Lavater says, that "genius is only the
flower of common sensen Books, magazines
and newspapers, give us a knowledge OF things
as they are brought to notice in the different
parts of the world, and serve to show us how
differently different persons act in the pursuit OF
the goal which we are all fastening to reach
the pinnacle of fame-which is, as general
thing, the final result Of our pursuit after knowl-
edge All parents ought to be ambitious for
their children 1t is natural, whenever one is
ones self, to wish child to advance in the true
and right road God has implanted that desire
in everv parents heart We wish to see our
children wiser, BETTER richer, greater, than our
selves. But should we point out to them
path leading toward greatness, unless we first
know it to be a correct one? 1t often happens
that the child is father to the man, and that the
germ of future excellence is very early to be
discovered, therefore, we should be extremely
cautious what example we set before our chill
dren The power of the press is mighty it
may be for good or it may be for evil, but who
can imagine the tremendous influence it exerts
upon the world at large. In it we find all that
will be essential to our public acquisition of
knowledge, and if we can each contribute our
share toward the support of the press by giving
it a moral tone, are we not aiding all in final
ACQUISITION of knowledge Even the rose, whose
Utmost parts are enclosed by leaves and sur
rounded by thorns has it's moral. The popular
works of the present day strive more to mystify
the simple minded and unschooled, than to clear
away all the mist which is naturally rising be-
fore their minds, but properly conducted jour
nal has as great weight and power as any other
method, in preparing blinded, misguided souls,
for the right road in the pursuit of knowledge

An Impostor Exposed.

The public are warned against the imposi-
ton of man calling himself Henry Black, who
being too lazy to work, is endeavoring to OBJ
tain living by trying to preach paying his
addresses to young females, promising them
marriage, exhorting them to place confidence
in him and then leave them, to practice his hy-
pocricy upon others: in one instance the we'd
ding day was set the consent of the young
lady's parents obtained, the wedding garments
procured, when this wolf in sleeps clothing, on
some trifing pretext, postponed the wedding;
this was repeated by the Reverend gentlemen
some three or four times. At last the day was
finally fixed, (this was some time in Sept. last }
This hypocrite, on Tuesday, wrote a letter to
the clergyman, who was to oficiate, requesting
him to be at home on the following Saturday,
read the letter to the young woman, and dis
patched boy to the post-office with it. Early
on Wednesday morning this holy man went to
the office, took out the letter and left for parts
unknown. He is about 40 years old, of Il ford
complexion, particularly when excited, and has
the appearance of an Irishman. This pious
hypocrite is now prowling about in some por-
tions of Hunterdon County, N. j., and the adj
joining counties of Pennsylvania, in search of
other victims Should this Reverend gentle
man make his appearance in this part of the
county, free application Of the cow-hide, or a
coat Of tar with small sprinkling of feathers,
would probably lead his Reverence to believe
that he had mistaken his calling.

az The barn, wagon-honse and cow-house
of Peter P. Schomp, near Readington village,
with all their contents, were burned on Tues
day night, the 18th inst no insurance Three
horses and three young cattle were destroyed,
some grain, and large quantity of hay, corn
stalks wagons, harness. and farm implements :;
nothing was saved. Mr.. Schomp and his
wife, as well as their farmer Cd. Harle) and his
family. retired about ten O'clock and at half
past eleven, Mrs Harle was awakened, and saw
the barn shrouded in flames. Mr.. Harle sue
ceeded in getting most of the cattle out of the
yard Providentially the wind changed from
southwest to west, or the granary and dwelling
house must also have been consumed, as but few
persons knew of the occurrence until the next
day, Two of the horses and part OF the farm
implements belonged to Mr.. Harle, upon whom
the loss falls heavily. The fire was no doubt
the work of an incendiary Republican.
