How Postage Stamps are Made.

Every United States postage stamp in

Company from July |. 1861, until the same
day in 1873. That was for three terms OF
four years each. The Continental Bank

the othsr rooms used in making the

In printing steel plates are used, on
which 200 stamps are engraved. Two men

printing them with large rolling
hand-presses. Three of these little
squads are employed all the time.

in case OF necessity. After the small
sheets Of paper upon which the 200 stamps
are engraved have dried sufficiently they
are sent into another room and gummed.

DR.. Dollinger, the leader of the Old
Catholics, has just published An invita-
ton to . conference at Bonn on the
18th inst, in which all the friends of
church union may participate. This
arises from his having observed the
tendency to union 90 prevalent among
Christian bodies. It will not be neces-
sary for person to DO aclergyman, in
order to be member of the body, but
he must be one Of theological attain
ments and in sympathy with the OBJ
jects of tho conference. DR.. Dollingcr
does not leave in doubt what tho char
actcr of the confession Of faith of the
conference should be. "Christian doc
trine and practice as taught by the BIZ
bic and the fathers of tho ancient
Church" is the principle around which
everything else is to rcvolve-all ut
tcrances to be in accord with this axio-
matte point, and thus form real and
not merely apparent bond OF union.

good Doctors efforts may be, We can.

MURDER.
Terrible ARRAY Mt the Summit,
i'm Van Buren, County.
"A Man Kills his Brother with
Chair and n Hatchet.

One of the most terrible ARRAYS that
has como to our knowledge for long
time, occurred at Summit station, Van
Buren, county, Saturday afternoon. 1t
seems that a couple of men-brothers
living there, by the name of Barker,
were at the residence Of one of them,
drinking and carousing, when they be-
came SO boisterous that the family was
compelled to leave the house from fear
of violence, leaving the two men alone
together. They were having things
pretty much their own way, when thew
finally fell out aud came to blows.
What all occurred there after the fuss
began, is not definitely known, but
when the wife returned she found
her husband dead upon the floor Of
his own house with the whole top of
his head crushed 10, the same as though
done with the pole ola Ratchet, and
weltering in his gore. The alarm was
instantly given, and in a very short
time tho drunken, wretched brother
was a prisoner, and taken to Keosau.
qua, where he was safely lodged in tho
county Jail.
He acknowledged that they had been
drinking; that they got to quarrelling,
and that he finally struck his brother
over the head with chair, knocked
him down, but that the whisky he had
been drinking was what had killed
him. He utterly denied striking him
over the head with the Ratchet, al
though that terrible and bloody instru.
ment was found lying at the murdered
mans feet. One wound on the head
bore every indication of having been
made with it.
The men have had the reputation OF
being fair citizene, and our informant
says this is the first trouble they have
ever had, that he know anything
about. The feeling against the muir.
dercr is said to be very strong, but no
violence is anticipated.
The name of tho murdered man was
Arnold Barker, and he was a sort OF
travelling physician. We understand
that he had not lived at the Summit a
great while,
The above are tho particulars, as
near as our reporter could gather them
from passengers on the Valley road,
to-day.
