Cart. RoBT. A. G1BsoN.--We scopv the
following complimentary notice of our gallant
townsman, Capt. Robert A. Gibson, and the
18th Iowa, from an Iowa paper
The veteran 18th Iowa Infantry is mustered
out, and the "boys'' of company G are With
US once again. Company G has seen over
four years of service. The company was FIRST
commanded by Capt, Tupper, then by Capt
L u Townsley, and finally by Capt R. A.
Gibson, who is mustered out with his com
rades, and returns to cheer by his presence
hosts of friends. Robert went not only a
yoaaagster, but the noble elements of eharac-
ter combined in his nature have developed
him into the brave and accomplished military
officer, The Davenport Gazette gives brief
history of the brave 18th, which we here an
mex -
1t participated in the battles of Fort Dom
aldson, Shiloh, at the siege Of Corinth, battle
of Corinth, jackson two battles of different
dates) siege of Yicksburg, Brandon, Tupelo,
White River, Nashville, Brentwood, siege of
Spanish Fort, and many skirmishes. At
Shiloh the regiment was almost entirely bro
ken up-almos. the entire command with the
Colonel, taken prisoners. 1t was one of the
regiments surprised on the first day Of the
battle, holding an advanced position SUBJ
sequent to the battle Of. Shiloh the remnant
of the 18th constituted part of the famous
Union Brigade. In 1852 it received a suffi-
cient number of recruits to again constitute
it an independent regiment. 1t lost five hun
dred men at Shiloh-only FIVE hundred men
remained, and of this number only about u
men fit for duty.
THE 18th became veteran regiment in
December, 1863 The whole number of men
borne on the rolls of the regiment from the
date of its organization has been 1477. This
shows loss from all causes of 1,024
''While in service the number of miles the
regiment marched was $3.50 and by railroad
and steam boat has travelled an aggregate of
over 1900. 1t has been under FIRE 10s days
and 100 nights.
Since the termination of the war the 18th
has been doing garrison duty in Alabama
aud gladindeed were the veterans to escape
from the dull routine where no powder was
to be burnt, nor fighting to be done.

The TRIAL OF RILEY FOR THE MURDER OF
CRAwFoRD. This, case came up for trial at
the late Session of the Oyer and Terminero f
Blair county, we learnfrom the Hollidaysburg
Register and resulted in the CONVICTION of the
accused of Murder in the second degree. His
Honor Judge Taylor, on the arraignment of
Riley for sentence, addressed him thus:
1t becomes our unpleasant duty to pass the
sentence Of the law upon you. This daty is
always to us an unpleasant one, but it is es
pecially so in case like yours, when we are
called upon to sentence young man, who
has wife and little children dependent upon
him for support, and who must suffer with him
although not participants in his guilt. The
verdict of the jury fixes your guilt as murder
in the "seeond degree and it is now in the
discretion of the court to decide on the ex-
tent of your punishment, which must be i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary. for a period
not exceeding twelve years. That discretion
is to be exercised in view of all the cireum-
stances surrounding the commission of the
crime. We are here constrained to say that
this court entirely approves of the vardict Of
the jury which convicted you. And although
it seems clear, that you did not contemplate
taking the life of James Crawford, or perhaps
inhicting upon him even great bodily injury.
still you gave way to passion which if allowed
to control when excited by trivial causes, and
with ont provocation, is malice 1t seems
from the evidence that you sought a quarrel
with the deceased, and that you assaulted
him in a most cruel and savage manner like
wild beast, and took his life. 1t also seems
that after the fatal act, you manifested every
evidence of sorrow and regret for it. In view
of the whole case, we do not consider it
very aggravated one, of murder in the second
degree, and therefore not one which merits
the extreme penalty of twelve years We
sympathize keenly with the bereaved family
who suffes most from your rash act. We also
sympathize with your own unhappy family
who will suffer by your crime, and you can
not fail, when you reflect on the terrible re-
feet on the terrible results you have brought
abought about to suffer the severest pain.
Your conduct hereafter, if it be such MS to
show your penitence, may recommend your
as proper case for the exercise of execu-
tive clemency; our duty as ministers of the
law is now to pass sentence upon you, with
as much leuiency as is possible. The SEN
tenee is that you NAV pay fine of one dollar
and the costs of prosecution, and undergo an
Imprisonment at separate and solitary con-
fnement at hard labor in the Western Peni-
tentiary for period of six years.

SAVE Your MoNEY.-If our subscribers
Who are in arrears for subscriptions to the
ISQURER, desire to save money, they can do
so by paying up before or at the February
Court, as we intend charging all who are in
arrears after that time $3.50 and those who
do not pay within the year, $500 while
all those who pay up at or before that time
will be left off with $500. We are compell-
ed to this course because we are too heavily
involved to lay out of our money two or three
years, We want to do every thing for our
patrons that we can consis tently and
in return they must pay up promptly.
Paper, ink, labor, rent, count up to almost
fabulous rates, and we must keep close ae-
counts. Take our advice and save the EXTRA
DOLLAR. Two dollars per year to-day are
worth more to us than three can possibly be
three or four years after this even if we do
only make half a living. SAVE YOUR MONEY.

VALUABLE Lors FOR SALE.-By an adver-
tisemens in this paper it will be seen that Mr.
Bailey Davenport is offering some of his
most valuable lots for sale, viz: the corner
LOT east of and adjoining Mr.. Egglesson' 6
residence, and fronting Court Square; the
fine lot adjoining the baptist church, and
fronting Court Square; one fine lot, on the
levse. adjoining Joseph W. Brackets resi-
denoe, and several other good lots about town.
Mr.. Davenport has no property in or about
town which he will not sell and he has
made more offers to give away property to
those who would build mills thereon, than
any other man in the city.
The other day the Union. for want of some
thing better to talk about. said that Mr. Dav-
export owned most CT the vacant property
around the city, and refused to sell it. This
ie not true. The vacant prairie just outside
of the city limits on the Camden road, is the
property OF Geo, L. Davenport, ESQ, of Dav
export, who wants to sell it, and who has Of
ten advertised it for sale. None of the Dav-
exports own any property in or around the
city bat they will sell, any day 1t is want
ed.
Mr.. Davenport's advertisement will be
found in this paper. He has sold large
number of lots this spring on which houses are
now being erected. He is very anxious not
to sell to spectators, but any man who wants
to improve a lot can get one of Bailey Daven-
port, any day.
