did not return to the kirkYood House that
night Booth, told AtzerothS Dat Surratt was in
the city and that he had just I8t him Atzeroth
did not see Booth after leaving him at the Hern-
don House. and he roamed about the streets
nearly all night and first heard of the murder
about half. past ten o'clock, while passing up the
avenue. The cavalry were rushing by at the
time in pursuit ethrew away his knife that
night, aud parted with his pistol next morning
to friend in Georgetown
Atzeroth had nothing to say at any Of the
former meetings. He knew nothing about the
rope fornd with Spangler. He believed Spang-
Ter innocent as far as he knew Booth when
applied to for money would remark he had
money in New York, and would get some. At
one time in the spring or late in the winter Mrs
Schlatter, Mrs Surratt John Surratt, and Major
Barron, formerly of the Rebel army, left Wash
ington together. They got horses from How
ards Mrs Surratt stopped at Surrattsvilie,
and the rest went TO the Potomac. Major Bar
ron returned, aud Atzeroth did not think he had
anything to do with the conspiracy, although he
was formerly in the Rebel army.
One Of Booths plans to obtain an entrance to
the house of Secretary Seward was an invention
which, if successful, would have involved others
in his foul act He had made the acquaintance
of woman of strong Southern feelings, living
not far from the Secretary's house, who was to
make the acquaintance of a servant, who was to
be introduced to Booth, and by this means he
would learn something of the location of the
rooms, sc. AS far as known this plan failed.
Booth was well acquainted with Mudd, and
had letters Of introduction to him. Booth told
Atzeroth, about two weeks before the murder,
that he had sent provisions and liquor to DIR.
Mudd's for the supply Of the party, on their way
to Richmond with the President.

ATRocIoUs CRUELrY-A Horse to Trot
from Boston to Portland IN one Day-We
Animal Dies Near the End Of has Journey
MIR Edward Bracket of Boston, made wager
of 81 900 that his horse "Lyon" would trot from
that city to Portland in one day-that is, be-
tween the hours Of sunrise and sunset. The
animal is black gelding, and is little over
ten years of age. The horse was to go to har-
ness, the distance being computed to be about
one hundred and sixteen miles The animal
went some ninety-eight or ninety-nine miles
well inside Of time, but fell dead on the track
with the feat so nearly accomplished. The
horse reached Newburyport, one-thrd of the
distance, IN four hours, in good condition. A
stop OF fifteen minutes was made at Newbury-
port, and Portsmouth was reached at Quarter
before eleven. Here the animal was taken out,
embarrassed, rubbed down and fed At ten
minutes past twelve Mr. Briggs again took his
seat in the sulky and start was made, the
horse, to all appearances in excellent condition
Saco was reached at 4:30 p NJ, and a rest oil
fifteen minutes taken. "F5
AS the hour approached when the horse was
| expected to arrive 10 Portland, the horse in
coming over the Scarboro' turnpike dropped

in Pittsburg, U. S. District Attorney Can

District Court against the brewing es'
Establishments in that district. For some
time past the Revenue Collector, VIM
Little, Esq, suspected the proprietois Of
making false returns. and seized the
breweries After careful examination
oftheir works he discovered conclusive
evidence of their guilt, and there is nc
doubt that they will be subjected to the
full penalty of the law. The breweries
seized were those of Adam Baurlins, Fifth
Ward; John H. Miller, Pitt township
and John N. Shaffor, Birmingham.

IMPORTANT RETIREMENT.-The last
number of the Fairmont National con
tains the valedictory of j. N. Boyd, who
has been nominal editor of that paper
for some time past. The yaledictory
NAV be considered, in some respects, O
remarkable document. He says 1.-THE
shareholders rebellion is virtually end
3D." and that nothing remains to be.
done but to capture the fugitive traitors
and hang them" Therefore, he retires
Whether he intends to enter upon the
laadable work of hanging them, he does
not inform us He says he felt it to be
his duty to do what he could to support
the Administration at the beginning OF
our civil struggle, and adds: "NO more
inviting field for profitable labor present
ed itself than West Virginia" What it
was that proved "proftable," whether 1t
was of political or financial nature, we
are not told. But il may be that it there
was prospect of as much government
printing to be done under the control OF
Wheeling men who wanted to have an
agent TO make public anything they were
afraid TO publish here without copying
from some other paper, and if the cleo
tion of l.. s. Senator had resulted differ
emily. the services of the aforesaid editor
might not have been dispensed with for
while yet. Personally, Mr.. Boyd is quite
a gentleman, hut what shall be said OF
the partisan malevolence and bitterness
of man who, under the influence OF all
the tender emotions supposed to have
possession of man when parting from
his friends, and while the valedictorian
ink is scarcely dry and the closing tear
still lurking in the corner of his eye.
writes the following, which is in his last
issuef
"GAILoWs NEEDED.-In view of the
probability that some of the leading
traitors who left this county at the be-
ginning of the rebellion may soon en-
deavor to toist themselves upon this com
munity, we suggest that the borough or
county authorities cause gallsws to be
erected in the court house yard. Said
gallows should not be less than fifty feet
high, and should be so arranged that the
criminals will drop twenty-five feet,
which we think will be sufficient fall to
insure them their long lost rights" and
hasten their journey to the "last ditch"
If, after the lapse of fifty years, any
one should have so little to do as to re-
member the author of the above, he might
think, either that the writer was natu-
rally vindictive, or that his mastering
