SHockine Mer YX County, Pa. Three Persons Butchered.—The following we take from the Harrisburg Telegraph George Squibb was a farmer iu easy circum. Stances, residing in Warrenton township, York county, Pa., and whose family consisted of himseli, bis wife and a grand-daughter, of about 14 years of age. 1t was supposed Mr who was about 70) years of age. had consid ble money in bis possession, and it seems th: some fiend in human shape, determined to se- cure this filthy Incre, even at the sacrifice several lives. On Sunday night the monst visited the bouse of Mr. Squibb, nud there mur- dered the whole fatnily. The terrible affsir was not discovered unti! Monday moruihg, when the neighbors found Mr. S. lying on the porch of his house, his body bearing the marks of no Jess than fourteen cuts that bad been made thereon with a knife in the hands of the mur- derer. The old man’s life was not extinct, but Le was insensible, and lived only until the evening. Inside of the house was the form of Mrs. Squibb, horribly beaten and cnt. She, 100, WS senseless, and there is not the least hope entertained of ber recovery, while it is highly probable that the vital spark has fled ere this reaches the eye of the reuder.

It was also stabbed, beaten and brav From the fact that all the victims were found divested of their shoes, it is believed the mur der was committed when they were prepariag to retire, which, according to their custom, must have been atan early honr in the evening. Upon a search of the premises being made abont $350 in money was found, which the murderer failed to lay his hands upon, but 2 married daughter who lives in the vicinity states that it was supposed Mr. Squibb had $700 or $500 in his possession, and it is probable that the robber obtained $350 or $450—a small recompense for his guilt as an assassin. FINANCIAL.—Speculation is again returning to the New York Stock Exchange. There is more activity in the leading shares, and the bulls appear disposed to avail themselves of the improved tone of business by running up prices. Governments are comparatively quiet, but firm atthe late iraprovement. The Com- mercial Advertiser of yesterday says —The gold speculation is steadily subsiding, leaving, of course, 2 few “lame ducks” on the street. The failare yesterday of a Gold Room opera- tor is reported to cover contracts for $1,500,000 to $2,000,000. This morning the price opened weak, and steadily declined. being 1923; at half past onep.in. The export of specie at this port and Boston to-day is only about a quarter of a milion, @ plain evidence thut the drain of gola to Europe is ended. The extreme ease in Money continues. There is rather more inquiry from brokers for loans on call, which is met at5 per cent., with exceptions at 4percent. Discounts are quiet. There ‘s Jittle paper offering from bankers, dry goods com- mission houses, or produce commission firms. Grocers’ paper is very abundaat. The rates for primne names range at 5a7 per cent. Tur Prize FichT.—Among the particular class of the community—apart from those re- cognized as the fancy—considerable interest was manifested yesterday regarding the prize fight between Collier and Aaron. The police authorities of this city were notas well ap- prised of where the fight was to come off as the sporting characters. Instructions to «rest the principals in the affair,on reaching this city were given. and the officers, including Detectives Gray and Wallis,awaited at Camden Station the arrival of the several trains trom Washingtor, until it was ascertained that the Washington authorities had taker the matter in hand and arresteda number of those en- gazed m the affair.—Adltimore American. A CovRAGEots WoMAN.—Miss Mary G. Halpine, ot Nasbua, New Hampshire, a con- tributor to several literary works, had an ad- venture with a burglara few evenings since. Only herself 4nd mother were in the house, and it was raining in torrents. She watched the operations of the burglar while he removed a pane of glass and introduced his hand to raise the window, and then, thinking that the affair had been carried far enongh, she dis- charged a revolver twice, dropping bim to the ground. A poticeman bastened to the spot, but the burglar bad escaped, leaving a poo! of blood under the window. Hyprornopsa —The Times, published at Leeds, England, says that nitrate of silver (lunar caustic,) rubbed into the wound made by the teeth of & mad dog, will cure bydro- phobia and prevent all injurious conse- quences from the wound, The remedy should be spplied as soon after the accident as pos. sible, as the virus 4s disseminated through the system in about st weeks aud then all the Dr. Yovatt, the well-known surgeon, says be has been pbitren eight or times, and always cured him- self by cbis mean: Grxen Tea PoisowING.—Several women in Nashville bo TE anor Leet been st recen! using ereen ‘which arsenic Fon wundesteed: by the whelesale dealer in or- der tomake it more lively and invigoratiy.

SENATE — Yesterday, afterour report closed, the tax bill being w ideration— On motion of Mr. Fessenden, the time fixed for the collection of tax on unmanufactured cotton was made on and after the istof Aug. next, instead of the Ist of July. The amendment of the committee making the tax two cents per pound instead of five was agreed to. The sixth section was amended so as to al- low the drawback provided for to thread or knit fabrics manuiactured exclusively from cotton. The eighth section was amended so as to make the compensation of inspectors of cotton the same as inspectors of tobacco. The section requiring the assessors of taxes to publish their notices in papers of the lar- gest cireulatior is amended by allowing the Sssessors to advertise in any newspapers of their districts. The provision allowing twenty-five cents to the assistant ussessors for each permit granied toany tobacco, snuff, or cigar manuaacturer. was stficken out. An amendment was adopted that all distil- Jers of apples, grapes, and peaches shall paya license of 250. An amendment was adopted providing that keepert of botels, inns, taverns, and eating houres having paid the special tax imposed on them, shall be subject to no additional) tax for sellimg tobacco, snuff, or cigars on the same premises.

The result, ws far as the evidence has been re- ceived, is said to be in the direction of a full commitment jor trial. A dispatch trom Mun- treal says the prisoners are brought into court handcuffed, and are guarded by a detachment of the rifie brigade, commanded by a sergeatt with rifles loaded and cocked. Galligan hi: been positively identified as a Fenian wi arms iu hia hand ud who had been a British subject. Madden, wounded twice by a Cana- dian detective on the frontier, is well treated. having a mattress in court tno handca® The prisoners are in good spirits for the m part, and are well fed on beet, beer and bis- cuits, batare kept handenffed in both prison and court. The evidence fully shows the commission of toe overt of the hostile in- vasion of Canadian soil b&b & determin n to subvert ihe Government. Thongh much feeling is evinced, the examination is being conducted in a cal a temperate manner.

The game of warmay be noble sport for sovereigns, but it is woe to the poor people Who on either side furnish “food for powder.” rout INTERESTING TO HoLpEegs or Unrrep States Loans.—The First Comptroller of tne Treasury bas recentiy decided « case of inter- est to loan holders. Itappears that a gentle- man bought ten $1,000 United States coupon bonés, but having no fire-proof safe, he cut off all the coupons, as he ssserts, fur an additional security against loss. Fourof the bonds were afterwards stolen, and he made every exertion to recover them, but withou wl, ana he asked for # reissue of the bouds. The Comp- troller decided that for the bonds aud coupons returned entre, although separate trom each other, new bonds with coupons attached con !d be issued, but for the stolen bonds no new iesues can be made. The holder can collect the interest on the coupons of these bonds, a= they mature, but nothing more can be done. A Maw Suoors kis Wirr By MISTAKE FoR A BurGLan.—A man named Cung, a German. shot bis wife at his residence in West Hoboken, under the following circumstanses:—Mrs Cung bad arisen. and had gone to the window and opened it, when the noise awakened her husbanc, and seeing some person at the open Window he supposed it to bea burglar, aud spatching & pistul from under his pitlow he fired twice before discovering the fearful mis- take he bad made. Both shots took effect, in- flicting mortal wounds, from the effects of which Mrs. Cung has‘since died Cung, who bas been almost distracted since the occur- Tence of the shooting, gave himself up to await the determination of the coroner's jury. METHODIST CESTENAKY CELEBRATION.— The centenary jubilee of Methodism was cele- brated in the John Street Methodist Episcopal Ohureb.
