Confession or o Murderer.

SPRINGFIELD, O., December 3.-Chas
Bell, a negro confined in the peniten.
tiary, made confession to the Sheriff
yesterday, that he is the person who
murdered Mrs. Ormsbee, in this city, on
July IA, 1860. He states that he and
a white man hearing that Mrs. Orms
bee had thousand dollars in the house,
went there for the purpose OF robbing
her. She making a desperate resist
ance, he (BelD drew a pistol and shot
her through the head and then made
his escape. The murder caused great
excitement at that time and every effort
was made to discover the murderers,
but without success. Some time after
wards Bell was arrested, found guilty
of burglary and sentenced to the peni-
tentiary for sixteen years. His confes.
sion tallies with the circumstances con.
nected with the bloody affair and there
is little doubt but that his statement is
true. He however refuses to disclose

TIRE Music OF ROLLING SAND AT the late
meeting of the British association Tor the ad-
vancement of science, Captain II. S. Palmer con-
trihuted IN interesting paper ION an Acoustic
Phenomenon at Jebel Nagus, in the Peninsula
of Mount Sinai" Jcbel Nagus is a peculiar
sand slope, from which loud and mysterious
noises are frequently heard TO proceed exciting
the superstitions of the Bedoun and the wonder
of travellers. The slope is about 200 feet in
height, and almost triangular in shape, eighty
yards wide ut its base, and narrowing towards
the top, where it runs off into three or four
small gulleys Sandstone cliffs bound it on
either side, and above the head of the slope
cliffs rise for about $50 or 200 feet more TO the
summit of the mountain. The sand, which is
OF pale yellOwish brown color, appears TO be
that of the neighboring desert, derived in the
first place from the waste of the sandstone rocks,
and then conveyed to its position on the hill
side by the drifting action of high winds. Its
grains are large, and consist entirely of quartz.
The neighboring rock in stu is a soft, friable
sandstone, of lght brown, sometimes nearly
white color, inside, and weathering to a dull
brown on the outside. The sand Of the slope is
so pure and fine, and in its usual condition so
perfectly dry, and lies at so high an angle
(nearly 30 deg with the horizon, as to be set
in motion by the slightest cause. When any
considerable quantity is thus set in motion, roll
ing slowly down the slope like some yiscous
fluid then is heard the singular acoustic phe-
nomenon from which the mountain derives its
name-at first deep, swelling, vibratory moan,
rising gradually to a dun roar, loud enough
when at its height to be almost startling, and
then gradually dying away till the sand ceases
to roll. Captain Palmer said that this sound is
difficult to describe exactly; it is not metallic,
not like the sound of a bell, nor vet like that of
a nagus Perhaps the very cOarseSt notes OF an
Eolan harp, or the sound produced by rubbing
the wet rim of dcep-toned fnger-glass most
closely resembles 1t, save that there is less
music in the sound of this rolling sand. 1t may
also be likcned to the music produced by air
rushing into the mouth of an empty flask or
bottle; sometimes it almost approaches the roar
of thunder, and sometimes it resembles the
deeper notes of violoncello or the hum Of a
humming top.
