The Murder OF captain Rchrer.

In our last issue there appeared tele
gram from Pottsville, stating that young
Albrighton had divulged the facts relating
to the murder of Captain L. Godfrey
Rehrer, with the circumstances of whose
mysterious disappearance from fremont,
several weeks ago, our readers are famiI-
lar Yesterday we obtained the following
additional particulars One of the part
ners, named Smith, had employed two
men who resided at Tamaqua, to put
Captain Rehrer out of the way, which
they did, and threw his body into one of
the old slopes among the mines, and by
fastening heavy weights to it sank i: to
the bottom, depth of three hundred feet
Shortly after the disappearance of Capt
r. Smith sent letter to the assassins,
advising them to leave. This letter re-
mained in the postofiice, and was finally
SO to the dead letter office, where it was
opened, and Immediately sent to the police
officers of the place where Mr.. r. resided.
These officials at once charged Albrighton
with being connected with the affair, when
he divulged the whole matter, but said he
knew nothing of it until after Captain II.
was missing The assassins are now in
the Jail at Buffalo, New York, one of
them having in his possession the watch
of the murdered man. The other parties
implicated are in prison at Pottsville.
The mine in which the body was placed
is to be pumped dry: in order that the re-
mains may be recovered. We shall be
able to lay before our readers more full
and accurate details of this affair hereaf-
ter Patriot and Union.

A good joke came off quite recently at q
court house. A person living a short dis.
lance out Of the village is in the habit Of
frequently coming into town and drinking
to inebriaiion. Recently he made one OF
his visits, became decidedly iipsy, called
upon Judge, and desired the Judge
to write him pledge, asserting his inten.
lion to cease drinking. His honor wrote
the pledge as desired, and the ,ipsy indi-
vidusl affixed his name thereto. He then
desired to have the pledge that he nigh,
take il home aud exhibit il to his vito. Ills
honor thought no himself was tho proper
custodian Of the important agreement, but
yielded to the solicitations of the man, ut
the same time assuring him that if he broke
the contract, and appeared beforo him
again in q state Of intoxication, he would
have to lock him up. A week elapsed and
the Judge was confronted by the same
man, rs tipsy rs aioretimes. elbow Is this p

Some may be found to doubt that the

traiion OF this effect may he made by at

OF different dianeters, 80 that both

diameter Of three feet. and the other Of one
foot, il is evident that any point on the cir
conference Of the larger will, during rev.
olntion. move through three times as much
space rs n similar point on the periphery Of
the lesser circle, AMI will, therefore move
with three times the velocity. The figure
Of the earth may he considered rs made
up Of an infinite number OF such wheels,

poles. and all revolving in tweniy-tour
hours. Now. il gun be fired trom the

plain that that object, being situated on n
smaller circle than the gun, but revolving
in the same interval ut time, viii move,
during the flight OF the proiectile, through
less space eastward than the shot, which
will have impaired to il the greater velocity
OF the larger circle from which il slartr,
