Mr. Edifor:--I agree with J. in placing
the lever II feet from the end of the stick:
Then one-half the weight of the stick would
rest upon the lever, and the bearing Of the
other half on the lever II feet from the
centre Of the stick would equal one-third
the weight Of the other half. One-hslf and
one-third of the other half of anything
equals two-thirds of the whole.
II our friend Will i~has any doubts as TO
the correctness Of the solution to osiran-
doris problem No 81, will call on me per-
sonally, will cheerfully pilot him through
that problem from beginning to end by
Double Position. 1t would be extremely
tedious to solve that problem by Double
Position, using all the figures necessary,
with explanatory remarks from beginning
to end, and more than would fill the col
umn allotted for the young folks.
Twenty years ago when that problem
went the rounds in the city of Pittsburgh,
and only one man in the city who could
solve it by Double Position, l presume
there were gentlemen in the city at that
time who would have willingly paid Slol
for solution no fuller than the one al
ready published in the Aduocdt.

Nr.. Editor "A friend OF mine sent me
the following problems, requesting me to
send him their solutions. He said they
were handed to him by q gentleman who
said he did not believe there was person
in Elk county who could solve them.
lst.-Suppose q liberty pole l2O feet
high, standing on q level plain--at what
height from the ground should it break off
so that the top would reach the ground
just 40 feet from the base, and the end
where it whould break rest on the upright
part. If my friend will subtract the square
Of the base from the square of the length
of the pole and divide the difference of
those squares by twice the length of the
pole, he will find the quotient, 533 feet to
be the exact height from the base where
the pole should break.
2nd.-A man sold horse for $40, and
by so doing lost one-half what he paid for
the horse, and threefourths Of the differ
ence between what he paid for the horse
and what he sold him for. Required the
price paid for the horse.
My first supposition was that the mar
paid Sl20 for the horse. Then one-hait
| lS6O) he lost ] of the difference 80 would
be $50 he lost. Sl20 dollars loss. S4(
the horse sold for. $50 total loss.
The answer itself is solution enough fol
| this problem. W. IL. u.

HORRIBLE MURDER IN LEBANON
CoUNrY.-A terrible murder was com.
mitted at the residence of Michael Dut-
weller near Annville, in Lebanon coun.
ty. From the confused reports we gath.
er, that the family went to church, leav.
ing the premises in charge of servant
girl named Gaunten, aud German.
The latter had been in the family but a
short time. He had attempted some
time ago to make lo7e to the girl, aud
been repulsed. On Sunday morning
the 7th inst, he entered the kitchen,
and asked the girl if she was still cross.
She told him to clear out, that she didn't
want anything to do with him, when he
struck her on the head with hammer.
He repeated the blows several tunes,
and then left her for dead. She revi-
we'd, when he repeated the blows until
he had struck her no less than nine
times on the head, broke her chin and
jaw bones, and several fingers on her
hand. He then took hat and coat OF
Mr.. Dutweiler's and made off. The
girl again revived and managed to reach
neighbor's house, (Mr. Kreiders
where) she was cared for, but subse-
quently died. He is described as about
5 feet I inches high, % years old, with
thick sandy hair, aud very shabby cloth
ing. The. murderer was arrested il
Slouchsburg, and is now in the county
prison.
