acknowledgements -ARsoE If an account
of all the murders, robberies and burnings
that daily take place were published, the read
er would be appalled,. Hardly newspaper
is opened, come from what section il may, that
does not contain an account of the commission
of one or the other OF these atrocities Horror
upon horror is enacted in the tragedy of crime.
The murder of the Ilamnet family Of six per-
sons, on the LIST instant, in the village Of Home
stead, near Pi,tsburg, is now added to the list.
After the murder the house was set on FIRE and
the bodies Of the murdered ones consumed in
the flames. The victims were the father mo-
ther, three children, and an adopted boy
two OF the children were girls, aged five and
eight years, the adopted boy fourteen. The
murderer fled, but by the active exertions OF
the excited people was apprehended the next
night in Allegheny City. He gave his name
as Mintzing, AID has made full confession. He
said he murdered the Hamnets with an axe,
his object being TO obtain possession of Ham
nets money, supposing that considerable
sum was in the house. We have no heart to
publish the revolving particulars, but shall be
glad to learn that the unmitigated scoundrel
will expate his crime upon the gallows.
And we may add to this, as being nearer
home, that last week, in Howard county, two
negro men with iendsh delight tortured a
small colored boy, by burning him with red
hot poker in a most shocking manner. Not
content with this, and while the boy was SUI
terng the most excruciating torment, these
pentine and then set il on fire and left him to
his fate. The lad was found in the morning
by the owner of the farm, more dead than
alive, and placed under treatment, but his re-
covery is doubtful. These demons have since
been arrested and are now in Jail

WAR CLAM.-The committee on war claims
has decided to report favorably on the bill in
troduced some time ago by Mr.. Lowndes for
the relief of John l.. T. Jones, of Montgomery
county, Md, for rent and damage sustained
by the destruction of dwelling house by ac-
cidental FIRE while the same was being occu-
pied by United States troops for quarters. The
sum allowed is $4,000 The report IN the
case, which was prepared by Mr.. Hazleton, Of
Wisconsin, sets forth that Jones was thor
oughly loyal man thathe gave valuable in
formation ofthe movements of the Confederate
army that his house, situated three miles
from Whites Ferry, was occupied by General
Hobart Ward and other officers as a head
quarters, and while in such occupation it was
accidentally destroyed by fire. There was no
military necessity that existed that called for
its destruction, and hence the committee re-
mort favorahIv

Our short article in the last Sentinel in re-
ply to an attack on this paper, has drawn
from the writer for the Advocate an article Of
more than column in length. Who that
writer is we do not know, but rumor says he
Is q member Of the bar, who has taken upon
himself the authority TO ''run" the Corpora
tion or at least to 'kick up dust" when
anything is said about the election orappoint-
ment of members for Town Commissioners.
He charges the Sentinel with putting schemes
ION foot whereby it may play the hog, and
get all the acorns to crack" Nota very ele-
however, he cannot sustain by facts and with
this remark pass it by as unworthy Of furthe.
notice. He says we were ''covertly and sneak
ingly endeayorng TO bring about condition
of things" that would deprive the County
Commissioners OF right that had been con-
ferred upon them by law. No one ever dream
ed that the recommendation Of persons whom
a meeting of citizens ould suggest as proper
persons TO act as Town Commissioners, would
deprive them of any right conferred upon them
oJ thS Sih@PS ~ ""o :" iS"' t'sS 49,
arrangements of 'the ring who run the Cor
poration might be nterfered with. that caus-
ed this defender of the mobility of manhood"
to stand up for the right Of the Commission
ers Which had not been aSsaiied or questioned
either by the press or people. II was volun-
tary on his part and The excitabity evinced
10 his first article that caused us TO recon-
mend Soothing Syrup for bis 'faculties." We
still insist upon the recommendation, as his
faculties must be impaired when he snuffs
danger to the rights of the Commissioners
where none was intended If the remedy is
not suitable, he should try some other. We
charge nothing for the advice.
The Adoocate writer gloats over the fact that
one-half Of the printing Of the laws was awar-
ded to that paper, and asks if our 'disappoint-
ment' was not great at such division. We
felt that our rights had been infrnged upon,
and the law violated when it was done, and
we think reference 10 this matter in most ex-
ecrable taste. We have a remedy and feel as
sured that our rights will be respected when
the case is brought before the proper tribunal.
With that portion Of the article in reply to
"Many Tax-Payers'' we have nothing to do,
but turn the writer over to the tender mercies
of its author.
