HARvEsrISd.-'The farmers are now generally
in the midst of their harvest and wheat shocks
are beginning to dot the hillsides and valleys in
all directions. The wheat crop in Upper Della
ware and on up into Pennsylvania is the best
known for many years, and the same holds good
in regard to the hay crop. Intelligent farmers
inform US that both the wheat
and hay crop are fully one-third
larger than the same were, last year. In addi-
ton to this, the hay crop was never secured in
better condition. The farmers represent the
ground rs being very dry, and the corn, oats
and potatoes are suffering in consequence, but
they cheerfully say that the wheat and hay will
fully make up all deficiencies.

appropriate means of showing at once their ap-
probation of the sport, and their desire to en-
hance the luster and ecat OF such an exhibition
Of amateur skill. OF course this We presme
would be the object sought to be won IN the

The Unitarian Church was well filed by all intel
hgent and appreciative audience, last night, to
practical manner the suffering and woes Of the
poor class of colored people, and to plead for
influence which would induce Congress to re-
serve a tract of land in the West for home for
the aged, INDECENT and csst-away children
of her race Her address was dives-
ted Of much Of the acrimony with which it was
marked at the Bethel African Church, and at
once appealed to the better feelings and gener-
ous sympathies OF the audience. Her remarks
were at times amusing, and at others affecting,
convincing all that this remarkable woman was
heartily aud conscientiously engaged in her mis-
sion of love and benevoence.
At the conclusion of her address, considera-
BILE contribution WAS made to enable her to travel
from place to place, in support OF her benevo-
lent cause.

We agreed that Edwards was to call Albeit
aer out and knock him down. Whitman
WAS to hold him, and was to stand at the
door, and Edwards was to 90 in and get
tho money. whitman and were to watch,
and give the alarm if any one WAS seen to
approach. Before We left the corner where
we had sat, Whitman said that dead men
tell no tales Edwards said that is so,
dead men tell no tales said that is 80.
We then started down toward the house.
Edwards cut each Of US club; gave
me club, and Whitman one, and took one
himself. We then started for the house
We all went up to the door. Edwards
knocked at the door. Ableitner asked who
was there Edwards said, three men from
Chatfeld wanted to go to St. Charles. Alb
leitner came out Of the door. Edwards
stepped behind him and followed him to-
ward the road. followed directly behind
Edwards, and Whitman behind me. When
about fifteen feet from the door, Edwards
struck him with club, knocking him down.
He fell on his hands and knees. and turn
ing around came back toward the house on
his hands and knees. As he came near me,
still on his hands and knees, fred my re-
volver at him. Immediately after l fired
Edwards fired at him.
Well might the Chief Justice say
"The expression, dead men tell no
tales asserted to by each, is full of
murderous meaning" For our part,
We confess that we shall feel safer and
surer of our own bread aud water while
We know that George W. takes his be-
hind good strong bolts and bars. We
have no desire whatever to belong to
that class who ''tell no tales Staley
handles club and a revolver most too
freely, according to his own statement,
when he is around loose.
Let those who are thoughtlessly sign
ing petition for his release, remember
that he belonged to crowd who were
ready to kill man for very small
amount. Five dollars, or two dollars,
or whatever amount We may find" was
enough. AS far as We are concerned we
would prefer to continue to extend to
him the hospitality of the State in the
shape of free board aod lodging and
keep him where he is.
The Grange advance., 1874-08-12
Dead Men Tell no Tales"

1t is stated in the papers that peti-
tion is being circulated in the counties
of Olmsted and Winona, with view to
securing the pardon Of State Prison
bird by the name Of George W. Staley.
Any attempt Of this kind should always
be regarded with suspicion by the pub.
lie. The pardoning power is very
high prerogative and should never be
exercised except in very rare cases.
When man has had fair trial and
been found guilty, and sentenced by the
Judge who has heard all the testimony
in the case-barring cases of mistaken
identity-it can rarely, if ever, be pro-
ductive Of justice, or conducive to the
public welfare, for the executive to
wrench the shackles from the felon's
hands or unbar the prison door one day
before the law is satisfied.
What are the facts in regard to the
convict Staley? In the fall of 1871,
We think it was, Staley being then a
little over twenty-five years old, in
company with two other men, named
John Whitman and Charles Edwards,
went to the house Of poor old Dutch
man by the name of Frederick Albeit
ner, enticed him out on the pretence Of
wanting to know the road to St. Charles,
and VIXEN the old man went out as he
supposed to perform the neighborly SER
vice Of directing the strangers on their
way, they most brutally murdered him.
staley was tried, found guilty and SEN
fenced. His Attorney appealed to the
Supreme Court. but the proceedings in
the Court below were sustained.
staley's own written confession would
seem to utterly preclude the possibility
Of pardon. The following is that
portion Of itgiven by the Chief Justice
in his decision of the case:
"We Edwards, Whitman and defend
ant then started for Frederick Ableitner's
house. When We got to the corner,
near Ableitnsr's house, We sat down and
talked over the matter. Whitman said Alb
leitner had -. 200 in gold, and said that
We would take that or Ave dollars, or two
dollars, or whatever amount We nay find.
