THE Man Roosas’ Martian—The following, from the Courier and Enquirer of this morning, is a point-blank i denial of the reported confession by Mrs. Loss, relative to the I death of Mary Rogers—Journal of Commerce, Jch. 19.

I noticed a statement in the Tribune of this morning, re- lative to a confession said to have been made before me by the late Mrs. Loss, which is entirely incorrect, as no such ex- amination took place, nor could it, from the deranged state of Mr. Loss’s mind. Respectfully yours, x

The New York Sun says, it is currently reported in the. City, that lllary Rogers is still alive, and in the keeping of 'ber former employer. , .

Hoaaio Mnttnsa '03 Lowe brawn—Monday evening, -inte|ligenco of a most brutal murder at Huntington, _L. 1., reached otir city, and we lay before our readers what infor-

motion we were able to collect of tlte horrid trtttlsuclltzm.

‘ On' Sunday evening, the dwelling of Mr. Alexantlerbinitlil, 'on aged and worthy farmer of Huntington, was (ll'SCUVel'et

to be in flamea, and on reaching the spot. hts .iieighbouiis were horrified at finding the bodies of Mr. b‘tllltll and his wife, partly consumed, with their skulls beat in, apparently With a heavv hammer, and their faces most awfully disfigitr. ed, showing- conclusively that they had first been loiilly mur- dered, and the house then fired by the blood-thirsty mis- creant, to conceal his crime. .

There is no doubt that this double murder was committed by a German, who had been employed but a few days before by Mr. Smith, as a labourer, and he was doubtless incue_d to commit the crime for the purpose of obtaining a cons:- derable sum of money, known to have been in Mr. Smith 8 possession. . .

The supposed perpetrator of the diabolical murders was arrested at Wading River, concealed in a barn} when taken, be admitted, that he Was the person who resided With Mr. S. From appearances, he obtained no money, as the pocket- book of Mr. S. was found on the body, in a side pock'et, un- disturbed, as also the money in his chest; the kcy‘ol which was lying near the fire, having been burned lroni his pocket.

The person taken tip had been In the employ of Mt. Smith only a fortnight. Mr. and Mrs. Smith were an aged and respectable couple, anti he is supposed to have been womb about $150,003, but kept very little money about him. They have but one son, who resides, we understand, »somewhere in Westcliester county.

WILFUL Monoaa av One nounaen AND 'riiia'rv Pen. sous l—George W. Lore, charged with the murder of Henry Blake, was caught in Barbour County, Ala., iii the neighbour- hood where the tniirder was committed, on Sunday night, 1he301h tilt. Upon his third trial for this offence, he was found guilty by a jury of Henry 00., and the sentence of death was to be executed on the 15th of June last, but was not aside by the Supreme Court, and .1 new trial granted.

. Lore soon after escaped from jail, and went to his friends a the North, and returned to Barbour county, he says, for the purpose ofstanding his trial. The citizens, it seems, were

' not satisfied with this statement, and fearing that he would

make his escape, held a meeting, to consult upon the proper course to be pursued. The meeting consisted of about 200 persons, 198 of whom, we understand, voted to have him publicly executed. ‘ Accordingly, on last Thursday, about twelve miles from Glenville, the sentence passed upon him by the citizens was executed by hanging him—Nothing can, in a country oflaws,justily aich a proceeding.

Hoaaiau: OUTRAGE.—lll the Runinsas (lowa) Gazette We find the most extraordinary and cruel relation of circumstan- ces that we believe ever went forth in type. An old man lived alone, and had forbidden a daughter, who lived near, and her husband, and even their children, over to approach his place, on account merely of some whimsical pique that the old mati had taken against his child. One morning the inhuman being found his grandchild, under three years of "'at e, climbing upon his garden rail, and he deliberately went ' or his rifle and shot the boy dead. The victim fell inside of the fence. The old man reloaded, and sat watching. Not long after, the mother came seeking her child, and as she touched her father’s garden rail, as she did with a shriek the

, instant she perceived her dead child, tlie‘old brute shot her in the temple, and killed her stone dead on the spot. The hoary maniac (as be is now accounted) shot the father also when he came, and he is now in prison, to answer for the three murders.

MANUFACTURE OF IARINE AND STEAIHNE FROM LARD.

A patent has been obtained by Mr. J. H. Smith, of New York. The substance ofhis process isas followsz—Boil the Lard either by fire directly applied to the kettle, or by steam. Whin the latter is employed, he uses a steam tithe to des-

- centl from the steam boiler into the vessel, and coiled round on the bottom so as to present a large heatin surface to the lard, provision being made to carry ofi'the water and waste steam. It is usual to perforate the ttibc with numerous hcles along the whole of that portion of it which is submerged below the lard,tliiis allowingthe whole ofthc steam to pass through the lard. To operate with advantage, the vessel should be of considerable capacity, holding, any, limit ten to one hundred barrels. The length of’boiliug will of course vary according to thc qtiality of the lord. That which is fresh may not require to be boiled more than five or six hours, while that which has been long kept may require twelve lionrs.—lt is of great importance to the perfecting of the separation of the Stem-inc and Enrine, that the boiling should be continued for a considerable period.

Alcohol is employed, mixed with the lard in the boiler at the commencement of the operation. \Vhen the lord is sufficiently fluid, gradually pour and stir into it about one gallon ofalcohol to every eighty gallons ofliird, taking care to incorporate them as intimately as possible; and this will cause a perfect separation between the Stearinc anrl Eariue from each other, by the spontaneous granulation oftlie litr- mer,.wbich takes place when the boiled lard is allowed to cool in a state of rest. Camplior is sometimes combined with alcohol, dissolving about one-fourth ofa peiiiid in each gallon of alcohol, which not only gives it an agreeable odour, but appears to co-operate with the alcohol in effecting the object in view.

Afler the boiling has been continued for a sufficient length oftime, the fire is withdrawn or the steam cutoff, and the mass is allowed to cool sufficiently to be ladled or drawn off into bogslieads or other suitable coolers, when it is to be left at perfect rest, to cool down atid acquire the ordinarv temperature of the atmosphere: and as the coolings prd- ceed, tho ‘granuhition will take place and become perfect. The material is then to be put into bags, and pressed mode- rately under aiiysuitable press, which will cause the l‘larine to.flow.ou_t in a state ofgreat purity, there not being con- tained in. it any perceivable portion of Stearine, and this practice is to be continued until the Stcariiic is as dry as it can be matte in this way.

The Steariue is then, by a very simple proces, which we have not space to give at present, prepared to be made into candles, the Bruins being ready for use as oil.

We have seen some ofthese preparations, and they are fully equal to sperm oil and candles, and are much cheaper. The oil is sold at 75 cents per gallon, and gives a beautiful clear light, and emits neither smoko nor smell while burnl ing. The candles also burn as well as the best sperm.— Ccatral .New York Farmer.
