Il. The existence of a number of
islands below the point where the
waters of New River and those OF

gave rise to the question as to the true
mouth of Green-brier. Certain parties
contended that il was below the island
and the distance to be travelled by the
majority of the people of the county
would thus have been increased by
several miles. There is a small lesson
in this matter for land grabbers. But
for the disposition TO extortion in the

BY THE SHORE OF THE RIVER;

Through the gray willows the bleak winds are
Tavlng.
! Here on the shore. with drift-wood and sands
overthe river the lilies are waving.
Bathed in the sunshine OF Orient lands
Over the river, the wide dark rlveS
Spring time and summer are blooming forever
Here, all alone on the rocks, am sitting,
Sitting, and waiting-my comrades all gone
Shadows OF mystery drearily fitting
Over the surf with It's lsCrrowful moan,
Over the river, the strange, cold river,
An must wait for the B0Gtman forever?
Wife and childrenand friends were around me
Labor and rest were a. wings TO my soul;
Honoraud love were the laurels that crowned me
Little rocked how the dark waters roll,
But the deep river, the gray. misty river,
All that lived for has taken forever
Silently came black boat o'el the pillows
Steslthiiy grated the Keel on the sand
RustliHg footsteps were heard through the willows
There the dark Boatman stood, wa wing his hand,
Whisp'ring 81 con e, er the shadOwy river
She who is dearest must leave thee forever"
Suns that were brightest and skies that were bluest
Darkened and paled in the essage he bore,
Year after year went the fondest, the truest,
Following that beckcning hand to the shore,
Down to the river. the cold grim river,
Over whose waters they vanished forever.
Yet not in visions Of grief have wandered
Still have ioled, though nv ardors have flown
Labor is manhood and life is hut 'quandered
Dreaming vague idreams OF the future alohe'
Yet from the tides OF the mystical river
Voices Of spirits whispering ever.
Lonely and old, in the dusk ana waiting,
TIL the dark Boatmen, with soft, mnhied oar,
Glides DER the waves and hear the keel grating,
See tho dim beckonng hand on the shore,
Waiting me over the welcoming river
To gardeus and homes that are shining forever.

Description of the New Fiye-Dol-
lar Note.

The plates for the new fve-dolIar
National Bank note have been COM
pleted at the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing of the Treasury Depart
ment. and the work Of printing the
new issue will be commenced in a
week or ten days. though they will
not be ready for circulation for a
month or six weeks. The new note
will be one of the handsomest ever
issued by the Government, its gen.
eral appearance being far superior to
the old one.
The size is the same as the pre-
sent note, but in the left-hand corner
instead of the representation of
Columbus discovering America, there
is a vignette-head of Rufus King, one
of the first United States Senators
fromN ew York. In the right-hand
end of the note, instead of the rep
resentation of POcahontas and Smith
there is a neat piece of geometrical
lathe work, with the figure D engraved
on its face ia white. Beneath this
is the seal of The United States in
green. At the top of the note are
the words: Circulating note; Ma
tional currency" in Roman letters
forming a curve. The other letter
ing of the note is as follows:
.sThe-National Bank in the city
of-will pay five dollars on demand
President. -, Cashier
Beneath this are the words Sc
cured by United States bonds de-
posted with the Treasurer of the
United States. T. i. Spinner, Treas
urer of the United States John ALI
son, Register Of the Treasury"
On the new note the signature of
the bank officers appear in the centre
of it instead CT at the bottom. as in
the old one and the names Of the
Treasury officials are at the bottom,
that of General Spinner being at that
right instead of the left At the top
of the new note. Oh the right hand
side above the lathe>work, the name
of the city and State wherein the
bank is located will appear. Much
of the lettering on the face of the old
note is omitted from the face of the
new one and put on the back instead.
Two large VS. complete the face, one
at either end Of the cyclOidai work.
The back of the note is of a very neat
design. bordered by an elaborate
scrolI-work with the word five IN
each corner. In the centre Is also
a classical figure representing Ameri-
ca, and beneath this the words, eth S
note is receivable, nc.
Another feature of the new note
will be the numbering panel on the
face beneath the vignette Of King.
The background Of this panel is so
arranged Ill fugitive c0lOrs that any
attempt to alter the number will
mutilate the whole.
The bank lumber will appear upon
this plate and the Government num-
her upon the back Of the note in blue
figures.
The designs of the new ten-dollar
National Bank notes are being pre-
pared. and work will soon be COM
menced on the plates Of that demo-
minatiOn.

MOST HORRIBLE.
The Scattered Body of a dan
Found by Following Baz-
zards-Thc Particulars Of
Il Supposed Murder for
Money.

PHILADELPHIA. July 14.-A most
horrible murder, almost equaling the
West Farms tragedy in Dover, Dela-
ware, has just come to light. Jen-
nerville is situated in Penn township,
Chester county. one mile north of the
line of the Baltimore Central railroad.
On the 30tn of June last, = strang-
man arrived at the hotel of the vile
lage and took up his quarters, saying
he came from Baltimore, and was an
agent, but gave no name. He was in
appearance young man. probably
not over thirty, with black whiskers,
On the following day, a team driven
by VIM. D. Undertook stopped at
the tavern, aud the agent
and Undertook took a ride
He accepted the invitation, and they
went away together. The team had
been hired by Undertook, at Parkers>
burg. and when he returned it in the
evening, the person who took charge
of it remarked that there was blood
on the wagon. Undertook made a
plausible explanation Of the circum
stance, and Immediately left the
neighborhood. The strange man was
never afterwards seen alive. Friday
last large number of buzzards were
noticed lowering about a wood off
Newport g. Gray's pike, between
Cochranville and Penningtonville.
Investigation showed the head and
trunk of man and arms and legs
detached which were recognized as
the body of the stranger who had
been stopping at Jennerville. A
coroner's jury was impaneled, and
sealed verde given. The murdered
man was stabbed in three or four
places, his thoat cut, aud both arms
and legs we're severed close to the
body. Undertook can not 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 unquestionably was plum
der. No clothes were found, except
pair of shoes. 1t is reported that
the man was known to have con-
siderable money on his person. The
severed limbs were buried in
separate spot from the body, and not
far from the house of one Rhodes, a
brother in>law of the supposed muir
derer.
