containing considerable sum of
money, valuable papers, &c., which
lodged on shelf Of rock about
hundred and twenty feet from the
ton. After consultation he determined to
lower his brother, Master Hunter McDon-
aid, of Lexington, youth of about twelve
summers, and the latter, nothing 10th,
entered into the spirit of the thing as if it
was matter Of fun. Having procured about
two hundred feet of inch rope, which was
doubled, the young man was lowered, guild
ing himself by creyice in the wall, on the
left of where the famous cedar stump once
grew, and after descending about one hun
dred feet, walked around the narrow shelf
to the front of the cliff, where the pocket
book lay. Having secured the treasure
he was successfully raised and received the
warm congratulations of some dozen ladies'
and gentlemen.

At the request of the Tredegar company we
have made careful examination of the scene Of
the recent boiler explosion at their works. and
have examined number of witnesses and tho
roughly examined the boilers, and we have come
to the following conclusion:
The boiler was unquestionably one of the
strongest we ever saw, and made of iron of the
very best quality with no defect in any point and
the sole cause of the explosion was the neglect of
the fireman 10 open the stop valve by which
the steam mad TO pass out. The valve
which we saw and examined, and
sohch aoorks NTH Screao, was found closed, inn
mediately after the explosion, by George Perrini,
amounts to demonstration OF the cause of the
explosion. The whole disaster has resulted from
the unfortunate oyersightoft the poor fireman and,
of course. no blame attaches to the proprietors-
who are great pecunary sufferers-nor to any
one else. CHARLES TALBOT,

PHILADELPHIA, July 14.-A special
from Westchester, says: zone of the most
horrible murders has Just come to light in
Chester county. On the Both of June
last strange man arrived at the hotel of
the village of Jennersville and took up
quarters, saying that he had come from
Baltimore, and was an agent but
giving no name. He was, in appear
ance, a: young man, probably not
over thirty, with black whiskers.
On the following day team driven by
VIM. d. Udderzook drove up to the tavern,
and the agent was invited by Undertook
to take q ride, and accepted the invitation.
The team was hired by Undertook at
Parkesburg. In the evening it was return
ed, and it was remarked by some one
taking it in charge that there was blood
upon it, which was explained by plausi-
BILE story. Udderzook Immediately left the
neighborhood, and the stranger was never
after seen alive. On Friday last it was no.
ticed by a man that large number Of buzz
yards were lowering about the wood. be-
tween the villages of C0chranville and
PenningtonvilIe. The man at length went
to the place to see what they were after and
found unearthed the head and body Of aman,
his arms and legs, which We're separate
from the body. He gave notice to the
neighborhood, and the horribly mutilated
body was eventually recognized as that of
the stranger who had been stopping at
Jennersville. A jury was empanneled by
the deputy coroner, but the verdict was
sealed. The murdered man was stabbed
in three or four places and his throat
cut. Both arms and both legs
were severed close to the body.
Udderzook cannot be found. He is, or was
until lately, on the Baltimore police force.
He is young, and has red whiskers. The
object of the murder was unquestiona-
bly, plunder. No clothes were found, ex-
cept his shoes. 1t is reported that the
man was known to have considerable
sum Of money on his person. The sever
ed limbs were buried in separate spot
from the body, and not far from the
house of one Rhodes, brother-in-law OF
the supposed murderer.
