A LAMENTABLE HoMICIDE.-Dr. David
S. PETER, who formerly resided in York
borough, but has, since he removed from
York, lived at Abbottstown, Adams coun'
ty, Pa, killed a man who was patent
right dealer from the State of New York,
named Cole, on Tuesday night OF last
week. 1t appears that for some cause or
other the Doctors mind had been for some
time disturbed, and it was necessary to
keep constant watch on him. On the
night in question, Mr.. Cole, who had been
taking care Of him for some days, is sup
posed to have laid down and fallen asleep,
when the Doctor struck him violently on
the head with heavy washbowl, fractu-
ring his skull and rendering him uncon-
scious, in which state he continued until
Wednesday night, when he died. Doctor
PETER was taken to Gettysburg on Wed
nesday, and confined in one of the cells Of
the prison at that place.-York (Pa.) Re

Special dispatch to Forney's Chronicle.
LITTLE Rock, ARK, March 23.-All the
counties have completed voting but two,
and enough has been heard to satisfy us
that the Constitution has been adopted by
at least 5000 majority. In several coun-
ties where the colored vote was large and
but few white Union men, not more than
half the colored men voted on account of
violent threats and intimidations on the
part Of the Democrats. There will be
about as many white as colored votes for
the Constitution.
We give both stories-of course we
don't know which is true.l

March 25.-Last night three men went to
the house of Albert Hubbard, cashier of
Scituate National Bank, entered his cham
Der, and after gagging and binding him
and his wife, took the keys and went away.
Unable to open the bank vault, they re-
turned to the house, carried the cashier
to the bank, and compelled him to open
the vault, which they robbed of 700 in

vosuvius in Eruption.

A correspondent OF tho Boston Journal
lately visited vesuvius. In tho existing
active condition of the mountain tho op.
Grafton was dangerous one. Tho writer
says of the highest point reached; ia
1t is fearful place. At the time of our
ascent the red hot rocks from tho main era.
ter were falling about the place with ter
TiIic noise, and rolling like golden balls
down the mountain. Eggs were baked
by laying them for moment upou tho
lava, and sulphurous exhalations filed the
air. The heated aud rarihed atmosphere
roso from tho surface as from an over
heated furnace. The guides were evidently
uneasy, and closely watched tho crater,
which was vomiting forth with august
fury such terrible showers of stone. This
point is about 200 feet from thelgreat era
ter, and is tho nearest point to it attained
hy any adventurous siuco the late eruption.
While standing tremblingly in range Of tho
falling showers of molten minerals, an old
crater opened to the right, alta distance of
about % feet from tho party. This new
vent to the pent-up fires was herulded bya
terrible shock, which shook the entire
mountain. AriVer of lava burst fortl, and
rolled down the precipice, across tho very
path by which we cuiue, heating 10 itsown
consistency the lava in its course, and ip-
creasng until il attained q width Of per
haps six feet. Whenever there was an up
heaval from tho great craier, the laYarOlled
oht of tho new one. likethe waters, rush
ing from mighty fountain. 0vorpOwored
by the terrible sublimiiy Of such scone
aud their own imminent danger, the guides
hurried the lttlo party away from tho
stream Of fire to the opposite side of the
mountain. Scarcely had we left the spot
when it was buried beneath q shower of
falling rocks, and wo inwardly thanked
God for our great preservation, as well as
for being allowed TO witness unharmod Ills
most sublime action of the volcanic powers.

Oftcn OF my check they lay;
She was graceful, kind aud faithful
Oh! loved sweet Annie May.
But that dream Of bright Joy vanished
Like a beautcous Summcr-day;
Ere | knew how much I loved her,
Like cream, she passed away.
Scarce l kissed her, ere ] missed her
Gentle, loving Annie May.
And they closed her blue eyes gently,
With q silent, fearful prayer
Crossed her hands upon her bosom,
Aud they placed white rose there.

Where the gentle zephyrs play
Moonbeams glance through that lone willow,
Trembling there they softly lay

THE SILENT DEACON'S OPINION.

When the next summer comes with IFS
heat and dust, and languor, and tho tired
spirit fainting by the way, cries out for
the wings of dove, go up to W,
among the hills made sacred TO Nature,
where the hurry and anxiety OF commerce
are unknown, and the silent Sundays are
never broken by the whizzing of machinery,
or defled by its smoke and steam. You
will see no Newport bellies no Belmont
equipages, nor will you he hidden TO any
hops" they don't hop" there--but You
vii be taken into holy, calm rest, such
as the pilgrim found in the chamber that
was called " Peace" II you have toiled
hard enough TO deserve rest, you will find
it in W; if not, you will seek itany-
where in vain.
II is the most silent place in the world
and were il not for the farmer turning his
burrows, or casting, his seed, you might i'm
agine yourself already where Sabbaths
never end" Perhaps il is Only because
Nature reigns with such calm dignity, and
echoes back every sound so loYiEgly, that
W seems silent in comparison with
other places. asia uas t-r
YOnder, in the square pew, sits Deacon
Lee you would know he WAS deacon il
he had not told you. Some men are born

foe was not native of W, but went
there TO till farm left him by an eyed rela;

time Deacon Bell died, leaving a sad. void

IA pillar in Zion, and strong arm to his
pastor. After seeking long to fill his place
tho mind Of the people united on the new
conner, who by his sOlemnity, piety and
zeal seemed created for the place. lie was
a man of few words, rarely talking; 30 that
the boys called him at first a grum old
man." But they soon changed the opinion;
for he set apart tree Of summer sweetings,
and one of bell pears for their express
benefit, us they went to and from school
and surprised them by fine swing, which
he hung for them in his walnut grove. SO
the verdict Of that and each succeeding
generation OF boys was, that although the
deacon never talked, he was kind aud
genial man, and lover Of children. Every
boy for twenty years back had been his
shepherd, his watclman. or his assistant
farmer; feeling il a high houor to bitch his
horse on Sunday, or TO drive his MANURE
cart on Monday; and all because they saw
through the thick vail OF reserve, the love
that burned and glowed in his heart.
Deacon Lees minister trusted in him,
and tho CHURCH felt hor temporal affairs
safe in hands, aud the world honored his
stern consistency.
