The death Of Undertook affords fresh H.
lustration of trait of human nature often il.
iustrated before. That is the persistency with
which proven murderers refuse even on the
scaffold to confess themselves murderers
This habit 10 partly traceable to the hoping
against hope which all criminals VIGOROUSLY
indulge. 1t is partly due, however, to
another cause. 1t 10 our fashion to say that
the opinion of the world is of no consequence
TO . man VIXEN he comes to die. In fact
II 10 of the greatest possible consequence to
him. Habit is the chief factor in human con-
duet, and man who has been posing for his
contemporaries all his life, will pose for pros
perity when he comes to leave it. The ''last
words of great men, attest this as amply as
the last words of condemned murderers.
About Udderzook's guilt there can be no sort
Of question. The American jury clutches at
even . reasonable doubt of the guilt Of an
accused man, and we should be very much
surprised to hear Of man who had been
hanged In the United States by the verdict of
jury within the last ten or fifteen years for
crime be did not commit. We should al
most be sure OF the candor Of all readers, to
say that we should even be refreshed by get
ting such iidings, for once in a way. That is
to say, such tidings would indicate reaction
from the msudlin sentimentalism which, next
to dishonesty, is the prevailing mischief of
our time and country. Yet Undertook hay
ing been found guilty of murder after trial
10 which conviction meant that there was not
. shade Of doubt that be was guilty, proceeds
just before his death fret to deny his guilt
and next TO say that he was "saved by grace
and accepted Of God" This is not unexam-
pied for men to 60 out of the world with lie
on their lips. 1t 10 quite common for convict
ed murderers to announce that they are saints
Of whom the world 10 not worthy. But for
man to tell lies which nobody will believe,
and announce without retraciing his lies that
he 10 saipt. 10 - yet uncommon. 1t is plain
enough that Udderxook, in undergoing the
modern process Of canonizstion according to
Law, was thinking exclusively of the world he
LEFT behind him, as are most gentlemen about
20 b hanged. His condition did not reflect
mach credit on his spiritual advisers to be
sure, bat IL throws . good deal Of light on
death-b bed repentance and death.bed confess
ions. Nee York World.

Railroads have been the means of levelling
at least 10000 acres of trees annually for
ties, of which they use sixty millions annual
ly. Fences are also enormous consumers of
trees. The outrageous waste of timber
caused by the telling of forests and burning
OF the trees to bring the land under cultva-
ton, goes on still at fearful rate. From
1860 to 1870, no less than twelve million
acres of forests were thus wantonly de
stroyed. For fuel also vast tracts are leveled
of their trees. 1t took 10000 acres of forest
to supply Chicago with fuel in one year, 1871,
Our annual decrease Of forest from all these
causes, is not far from s,00O,0 900 acres. Yet
we plant only 10000 acres Of new forest a
year. The necessity for commission of for
estry, and the need Of efficient laws in all the
States for the preservation of our forests,
need no further argument than these facts

Terrible Catastrophe.
Fall of a Church Floor with Hun
dredS of People = Large
Numbers Killed and
Wounded.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, June 23.-
An appalling catastrophe oc-
Cured here tonight. a straw
berry festival was being held at
the parlors Of the Central Bap-
fist Church, when, without any
premoLition, the floor gave way,
precipitating room full of peo-
pie into the story below. The
parlor was on the second floor,
and the room underneath was
also full.
A fire alarm was Immediately
given aid the firemen hurried to
the scene. Soon ten thousand
people were there, and tremen-
dous excitement prevailed. 1t
is impossible to give particulars
at this hour. Five dead bodies
were taken out, and the work
has hardly commenced. Prob
ably a hundred persons are more
or less injured, many very seri-
ously.
The city is filled with lamen-
tations. The scene on thestreet
around the church battles de-
scription. Thousands are gath
cred there asking after friends,
waiting for dead and attending
TO the injured. The entire po-
lice force and fire department
Of the city were called out, and
took charge of the work of re-
covering the dead and wounded.
The broken timbers were hois,
ted up with difficulty. The
walls OF the church did not give
in, but are seriously damaged
The church is comparatively a
new one. A few minutes before
the floor gave way it tremblcd
so flat many persons left the
room, fearing an accident, which
had BEEN predicted by many.
The accident was caused by
the giving way Of a joist that
supported the floor. The joist
ran from both sides of the room
to a cross stringer, the middle
Of which was supported by iron
rods from the roof. The string
er gave way, pulling the ceiling
and roof down upon the people,
and precipitating them into the
room below.
The work Of recovery was
Exceedingly slow, as it had to
be done in the dark and, it was
feared every. moment that the
walls would fail in.

payment on them is to be COM

public documents is to be 10c

and that in these and all other
casesthe postage is to be prepaid.

Only Think Of 1t.

Upwards of ten thousand fe
males in New York, forty thou
sand in Paris, eighty thousand in
London and one thousand in
Nashville, are said by statisticians
TO regularly enrn a daily living by
immoral practices And yet, all
of these are christian cities in
christian countries and they con-
tribute annually hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars to convert the
souls of heathens in foreign lands,
unmindful of the bodies and souls
thus fostering beneath their very
eyes for the want of means of sus.
tanning life in moral healthfulness.
There S an enormous screw loose,
somewhere, in our social and &C.
clesiastical arrangements. Few
women, indeed, ever pursue the
wantou 5 trade from choice it is
the act of necessity. Its strug-
gle between life and virtue, in
which life, with its mysterious
ties and deep affections, wins the
victory. But how small a share
of the immense sum wasted in
the evangelisation of the living
dead abroad would be sufficient to
restore to christian life at home,
the moral corpses that throDg
the streets by day and night, and
fill our cities with fearful pesti.

these guilty creatures from a life
they loathe, than to teach the Hin.

* Dr.. Dio Lewis has been

Eopewell Exhibition.

For the Fayetteville Observer.
Mr.. EditOr-It was our priv
ilege TO be present at an exhibit
ton of one the schools of your
county, located at Lincoln. We
were so highly pleased with the
entertainment, that We wish to
make a brief report Of it, for the
benefit of the readers of Your
paper. The exercises were held
in the Hopewell Church, on Fri
day evening, June 26th, COM
mencing at half past seven. AS
we entered our eyes were greet
ed with fine display of pic
lures and cvergreens on the wall
behind the stage. 4 piano and
two violins struck up a lively
air, and the performers Of the
evening entered and passed up
on the stage. In the absence
of the pastor Of the church,
prayer was offered byProfRam-
sey. Were we acquainted with
the performers of the evening,
we should give a more particu-
lar account; but, as it is, we
must be contented with q gene
raj statement. The declama-
tons and recitations of the
younger pupils were entirely
free from that sing-song style so
often assumed by beginners, and
were delivered with expression
and spirit; while the essays and
orations of the advanced stu
dents would have done credit TO
a sophomore or junior exhibit
ton in any of our colleges.
After the regular exercises Of
the evening, Prof: Ramsey adj
dressed a few pointed and prao-
teal remarks to the citizens on
the interests of the school; and
to the pupils, urging them all to
diligence and energy in seeking
high attainments in education.
The exercises closed at a late
hour, and we went away feeling
that We had been pleasantly and
protitably entertained. 1t was
not our privilege to be present
at the examination Of the school;
but, from what We have seen
We are satisfied that. notwith-
the many difficulties
with which he has had to con-
tend, Prof. Ramsey has been
faithful to his pupils, and that
they have made a very saccess-
full progress. a VISITOR.

GEORGES STORE, Lincoln Coz
Tenn, June 9th, 1874.
Mr.. n. o. .WduGce-DEAR
SIR-As | believe your friendly
readers would like to hear from
this portion of the county, l will
assume the present opportunity
to let them know how we are
getting along. For the last ten
days We have been actively en-
pIoyed in our wheat fields
Wheat is very good, but not as
good as it would have been if it
hadn't been so very dry, which
caused it to take the rust. We
are now blowing our little corn
the third time. The prospect
for a good crop is gloomy,
though we are not out Of heart
yet; if we could get good sea-
sons from now on, we would
make abundance Of corn. Corn
is worth rs cts. per bushel, wheat
is worth 81 at the thresher.-
There is some talk about the
August election. No great cx-
element yet. The candidates
visit us occasionally. l am in
hopes the neediest of them viii
be successful in obtaining the
position that they honestly de-
sire. There is Il little excite
ment among the young men in
this section. Some are going
to Texas and some are coming
from Texas, declaring that they
will make Lincoln county their
home for life, while others are
marrying occasionally. We
have but very few old maids in
this part Of the country; the
ladies are so very handsome
that they marry off quite young.
We have some few old bache-
lors that we would like to dis
pose of on reasonable terms
1t is with melancholy feelings
that l will inform you, that in
the last few weeks the ruthless
hand Of death has taken from
lis some two or three Of our old
est and long-loyed friends, but
as they always set good exam
pies Tor the youth Of our neigh
borhood, we hope that their Va
cancies will be filled with as
gallant soldiers as they were
They are gone and will soon be
forgotten. The memory ofman
(as it is elegantly expressed in
the book of wisdom) passeth a.
way as the remembrance Of j
guest that tarricth but one day.
EndeaToring to, be brief, l will
close. Health is not very good,
