A DANGEROUS PLAcE.-The crossing at
the corner of Eighth and Walnut streets,
where worlmen have recently been em-
ployed in laying new water pipes, is in
u very bad condition. The surplus di t
left from laying the pipes forms IA ridge
Just at the edge of the crossing, and
there are also quantity Of large stones
laying on each side of the gutter, both
of which together forms u complete bar
ricade of about one half of the street.
Two conveyances meeting Mt this point

RETURN OF SHERIFF ARMSTRONG WITH
HIS PM sONER- TAYLOR IN NEW CASTLE
JAIL.
The report that Joseph ii, Taylor. the
murderer of Mackey had been arrested in
Crawford county, Ohio, has turned out to
be correct, and the prisoner is now con-
fined in New Castle Jail.
When Sheriff Armstrong arrived at
Bucyrus he found Taylor in Jail, quiet,
docile and penitent, with even q desire
to get back. He offered no resistance,
whatever on his return andwhile he spoke
restrained of his crime he admitted it 4
expressed great contrition for the deed,
which he said, would not have bee com
mitted had he not been under the infiu-
encc of liquor.
After leaving Middletown. TO which
place he was easily traced, Taylor came
north on tho train, and after arriving in
Philadelphia, started West. lie first
stopped with cousin living near Bucy
rus, and was hero when arrested by
Sheriff Roe.
i Sheriff Armstrong when he went out was
accompanied by Mr.. Iamll, of Kimbleville
Pa. On the retnin the party was increased
by the Sheriff Of Crawford county and thu
prisoner. The rctula trip was made with
out accident, and the party passed through
THIS CITY 10 new castle on the lO. lU tram
Sheriff Roe went on TO Dover, to consul
with Governor Ponder.
Taylor, as We remarked above, is sub
dued and contrit'. lilo admits his crime
and cknowledgcs its noimity, and is now
like many other murdcrcrs, sorry for tn
deed. AS was surmised in this paper, tn,
deed was committed by throwing the bod
from the bridge into tho creek, as they wer
driving towards Odessa.
The prisoner will probably be tried at th'
November term of Court, ond until tina
time will bo confined in the Jail at Nc'
