he Confession OF Probst.

The murderer of the Decring fami-
" at Philadelphia, shows that the
crime was undertaken for money which
he had seen Mr.. Deering count Al
ter killing the lad, Carey, he went to
the house and told Charlie. the little
boy next in years to Willie, who was
~lbsent. that he wanted him to help
him to do some work in the barn.
The little fellow followed him, and as
soon as he got him inside the barn
door he dispatched him with the small
Ak he had secured. He then went
back to the house and told Mrs. Deer
ing that something was the matter
with one Of the cows, and he wanted
her to come to the barn. She went
and he followed and as soon as she
entered inside he struck her on the
head and killed her. He again went
back to the house and brought the
children out. one at a time, and TAX
ing them inside the barn, dispatched
them, one by one, with the same ak.
In each instance he cut their threats
and placed the bodies in the corn crib
himself, just in the position in which
they were found, covering them up and
wiping out all evidence of his guilt
He then went back to the house and
awaited the arrival of Mr.. Deering,
not expecting Miss Dolan would ac-
company him. AS soon as Mr.. Deer
ing arrived in the carriage, he Deer
ing) got out and Probst told him that
something was wrong with one of the
COWS, and asked him to go over to the
barn with him. Deering went alone
with him, and Miss Doian went into
the house, up stairs, and took off her
bonnet and furs. Mr.. Deering did
not take off his gloves before going to
the barn, but proceeded there at once,
followed by Probst, who had the ak
concealed, ready for use. AS soon as
Mr.. Deering entered the barn door
Probst struck him on the head and
lelled him to the ground, and then
chopped at his neck with the edge OF
the ak. Miss DoIan was the next and
last victim. She proceeded to the barn
after coming down stairs, not finding
any Of the family in the house, and
Probst, who was in waiting, treated
her as he had done the rest of the
family. After laying out the bodies
and covering them with hay, the muir.
derer went into the house and com
menced searching for valuables, but
got no money, though he expected to
secure considerable amount. After

ANECDOTE OF Mr.. LINCoLN.-The
following anecdote of the late Presi-
dent Lincoln has never been pub
lished | think, and unlike, perhaps,
some Of the stories attributed to him,
is an actual fact for | have it from
one who sat next the hero.
During Nj. Lincoln's practice of
his profession Of the law, long before
he was thought of for President, he
was attending the Circuit Court
which met at Bloomington, Illinois.
The Prosecuting Attorney, lawyer
by the name of Lamon, was a man OF
great physical strength, and took
particular pleasure in athletic sports,
and was so fond Of wrestling that his
power and experience rendered him
a formidable and generally successful
opponent. One pleasant day in the
fall, Lamon was wrestling near the
Court House with some one who had
challenged him to trial, and in the
scutf1e made large rent in his un
mentionables, Before he had time tc
make any change he was called into
court to take up case. The evi
dence was finished, and Lamon got
up to address the jury, and having OF
a somewhat short coat, his misfortune
was rather apparent One of the
lawyers, for ajoke, started a subscrip
ton paper, which was passed from
one member Of the bar to another al
they sat by long table fronting tn,
bench, to buy apair of pantaloons fol
Lamon, he being" the paper said, q;
poor but worthy young man." Sew
eral put down their names, with som,
ludicrous subscription, and finally tn,
paper was laid by some one in front O
Mr.. Lincoln, on plea that he was en-
gagged in writing at the time. III,

improvements in Dentistry.

DR.. j. NJ. Comegys, the wide-awake
and enterprising Dentist of Montpe-
lier, has recently introduced several
improvements in Dentistry, an impor-
tant one being in rubber work. Hith-
erto rubber plates for artificial teeth
have been Of an Objectionable color,
the deep red making them too con-
spicuous when in the least exposed to
sight. This objection DR.. Comegys
has overcome, having in use a discov-
cry whereby the rubber is given flesh
color, the difference between that and
the natural gums being difficult to dis
cover, while at the same time strength
is added by the process of coloring.-
Another Improvement is the discard
ing of air chambers in the plates,
which are sure to eventually cause
malformation Of the roof of the mouth.
and the attainment Of the object of
air chambers through a far preferable
method. Persons desiring Dental
aid will find Dr. Comegys the right
man to patronize, his work being No.
l, and his prices very reasonable

Colorado.

The President has vetoed the bill
passed by Congress for the admission
of Colorado as q new State; giving
quite unexceptionable reasons; though
he found it no objection to the meas
ure, that the constitution under which
she asked to be admitted, was burden
ed with injustice, partial and restrain
cd rights for a portion other citizens.
We arc not disposed to say that
the reasons given by the President in
his veto message are not sufficient to
show cause, why the would be State
should continue territory. The only
regret we have concerning the action
of the President upon this question, is
that in offering the reasons contained
in his message,he should inadvertently
or purposely overlook the most i'm
portant and weighty objection, with
which the measure was oppressed
We are glad that Colorado is pre-
vented from admission, not because
we would not rejoice to see Congress
strengthened by two new members in
the Senate, and one in the House, with
political proclivities of the RICH t
stamp, but because in what she had
adopted as her supreme law, she re
cognized the doctrine, that it is fan
and Just for the white man to stand al
the ballot box and say to the black
man | am holier than thou, and by
virtue ofmy holiness, | have a right tt
regulate all your civil privileges, will
my vote, and / am thus holy simply
and solely because | am white.
While Colorado thus regards sucl
a doctrine, and is thus reckless OF
the manner in which she treats hu
man rights, we hope she will remain
a territory.

Keeping Ones Word.

Sir VIM. Napier was one day tax
ing a long country walk near Presh-
ford, when he met a little GIRL about
five years old, sobbing over a broken
bowl she had broken it, in bringing
| it back from the field to which she had
taken her fathers dinner in it, and
said she would be beaten on her re-
turn home for having broken it; then
with sudden CLEAN Of hope she inno-
Gently gazed into his face and said,
" But We can mend it can't YEP" My
father explained that he could not
mend the bowl, but he could by the
gift ola sixpence, buy another. How
ever, on opening his purse it was emp
ty of silver; and he had to make
amends by promising to meet his lit
tie friend on the same spot at the
same hour next day and to bring the
sixpence with him, bidding her, mean
while, to tell her mother she had seen
gentleman who would bring her the
money for the bowl next day. The
child, entru8ting him entirely, went
on her way rejoicing. On his return
home he found an invitation awaiting
him to dine in Bath the following
evening, to meet with some one whom
he speedily wished to see. He hest
tated for some little time, trying the
possibility Of giving the meeting to
lis Juvenile friend, and of still being

White S!avery--How Germans are
Treated Down South.

How the Southern planters have
treated the Germans who had been
persuaded by immigration agents 10
enter into contracts to labor on South
ern plantations, may be judged from
the statement of two Germans, named
Frank Schneider and Charles Park,
published in the Memphis Post
They were of party of thirty imml-
grants hired in New York by a Lousi-
ana planter. Seven of them were
carpenters, and were provided with
free transportation to Louisiana, and
$500 per day and board, paid every
week. They reached the plantation
on the 25th of October last. They
say;
"On arriving at the plantation two
days elapsed before we were furnish
ed with rations. We were then al
lowed eight pounds Of mixed ffom
and meal, and two pounds Of bacon
each. to last a week. When this
week was up we had to wait another
week until a new supply was brought
to the plantation. Corn was the1
landed and ground at the mill, and
quart Of meal per day was given while
lit lasted. Christmas week we wen

what he had paid for our board a

der this ruling, the carpenters had
little coming to them on their wage
which he paid them, but the commo
laborers were declared to be i'll hi
debt. We were told, during our sta

was quite a reader, devOuring what
ever he could get of books or news
papers, reading the paper through in
order from title page to the end, adver-
tisements and all. Many chapters,
and some whole books Of the Bible he
could repeat from memory, and he
used to say that he put himself to
sleep at night by repeating Scripture.
The book of jonah was his especial
favofite. He enjoyed greatly the
visits of his neighbors, and especially
of the young people, whom he always
advised, girls or boys, not to do as he
had done, but to get married, They
enjoyed it too, j. e. visits with him; per
haps also his advice. He had no
kindred in this part Of the world, and
few if any knew much about his early
life, or where he was brought up
We believe he came from the South
western part of N. FL. He claimed
to have been a revolutionary soldier,
and to have fought under Gen. Stark,
at Bennington, to have been also in
in Gates army at the battle of Sarato-
GA, and the surrender of Burgoyne.-
He used to tell the story Of these bat
ties with great spirit, but he was new

pension rolls. He had at an early day
some little property, and perhaps q
