The Advantage Of Advertising.

Three weeks since gentleman called at the
Pioneer Office and ordered an advertisement of
a house and lot for sale, to be inserted the
following week. To avoid the expense of an
additional insertion it was laid over till last
week. In few days after it appeared in the
Pioneer, several called to inquire about it, one
of whom offered several hundred dollars more
than it had just been sold for to another party.
While one dollar only was saved by not adver.
tising the property, at least three hundred dol
lars were lost. Those who have property to
sell should make it known by advertising lib
erally

The Germantown Tragedy,

A lot of silver spoons were found on Satur-
day last on the North Pennsylvania Railroad,
near Fishers lane. The spoons bore the init
ials of Miss Mary L. Watts, who was murder
ID by Christian Berger # hsa bs yssdnee n in
was passing in the neighborhood, and were
scattered around as if they had been thrown
away in hurry by some one. These spoons
were undoubtedly taken by Berger at the time
he committed the murder. The murderer is
now in Moyamensing Prison awaiting his trial,
which will probably be commenced this week.
He appears rather broken down, and has but
little to say.
On Saturday last his cell was visited, and in
reference to remark dropped in reference to
the horrible tragedy, he replied: sYes, don't
know what ever induced me to commit such a
crime" although in the samebreath he further
stated that he had no recollection of cutting
the old woman's throat. One of the party in
attendance at the time remarked to him that
such deeds were only committed by those pos
sessed of the Devil, to which the prisoner re-
piled that he supposed he must have been pos
sessed by that noted individual at the time.
As the party was about leaving him he burst
into tears, and said he wished he could be re-
moved from his cell to the one overhead, on
the second floor. They wished to know why,
when he said, "Oh, could then be so much
nearer my Lord" Since his confinement he
appears restless and nervous, although he eats
heartily, and seems to rest we'll. The prisoner
has quite youthful appearance. His father,
during the examination before the inquest of
the Coroner, testified that his son was only
twenty years of age. The old man was much
agitated at the time, and evidently made
mistake. He is about ".
Berger, since his confinement, has been Wis
tied by his father and other relatives. His
wife is still extremely i'll, and may never re-
cover from the terrible shock.
The spoons were found not far from where
the razor with which the murder was commit
ted was lying. The prisoner has not, since his
confinement, alluded to taking the spoons
His statement is, that after he had got about
a mile from the house, he put his hand in his
pocket and drew forth the bloody razor and the
roll of greenbacks, about $53, in tens, fives,
and ones, taken from Miss Watts. He says he
threw the razor away, and this part Of the
story is no doubt true, as the razor was found
at the place where be stated.
II the prisoner was crazy then, as he con-
tends, it is somewhat singular that he did not
throw the money away at the same time The
secret of the whole affair is, that he knew the
razor and the silver spoons would be strong ev-
idence against him, and fearful, as all murder
ers are, that he might have been seen and ar
rested at any moment before he had chance
to dispose of these two articles, he dropped
them as soon as he was out of sight of the
house. The fact of the finding of the spoons
will, it is thought, be admitted by Berger,
when he is questioned in regard to them
Time may develop that he has taken many
more articles than those which have been
found
