HIS EXPERIENCE AS ONE OF JOHN BROWN'S RAIDERS. The Great Anti-Slavery Fanatic Was Too Impatient Liquor Licenses Granted in Beaver County Verdict for $20,235 for a Railway Employe. Special to The Pittsburgh Post.

Wayjcksbuko, March 23. Kather a strange but interesting story is narrated ty Daniel Clifford, a colored citizen of this place. Clifford, who is now lying sick and does not expect to recover, made the following statement to hla physician a few days ago: I was released from the "Western Penitentiary in the spring of 1H5S, I went to Canada and enlisted in a company then being organized by John IJrown. After our little band was organized we proceeded to Missouri, where ISrown's sou was killed iu an attempt to rescue certain Maves who had been sold and were to be taken to Texas. In this conflict one of the slave owners was also killed.

After this we again returned to Canada, where we remained during the winter. In the meantime Browu was actively engaged in reorganizing onr company and increasing our numbers. In the spring Browu returned to the United States and left Richard Jtealf and myself in charge of our organization in Canada. By September, 1851), our com-pauy in Canada numbered about seventy-tive well equipped meiAtnd we were prepared to niakd our way in squads of ten through Pennsylvania into Virginia to meet Brown and bis little army. Brown was to let us know when and where we should meet him, and was to have everything arranged for our attack tvpun llaier's Ferry.

Tb plan was that the negro were, at the projicr time, to rise up and come to imr assistance. The principal inhabitants were to be made prisoners, who were to be exchanged for slaves, and as the arsenal contained about one hundred thousand stand of arms, we could have equip)-d enough negroes to have killed every slave owner in Virginia before the United States troops could have been ready to move." were preparing to start fur Virginia by the 1st of October, but on account of some difficulties we were delayed. Brown was a very passionate, hot-headed man ami as we were to meet him by the 20th of October, but did not, I presume he thought that if the negroes in the neighborhood would come to bis assistance he could take and hold the arsenal until arrived. "When the raid proved a failure and there was no rising of the nc-rroes. and Brown wn captured, our organization disbanded for want of a leader, but had Brown been prudent enough to have waited until our arrival there is not the slightest doubt that our scheme would have beeu a success." Clifford is about sixty years of age.

tall, erect anil almost white. lu heaud several other negroes were tried and convicted in this county for the murder of Lily Zimmerman. Clifford with the rest was sentenced to five years' imprisonment. Although his story is not believed by many, yet there are many things that go to corroborate it. His description of Brown and many things that occurred while he was in the West, are accurately told, and the bold and reckless character as well as the checkered life of Clifford go fur toward corroborating his story.

Swe-aringen. "Wholesale licenses were granted to George Strict and Benjamin Ptieffer, of Rochester. All others were refused. Iu announcing his decisions Judge "Wickluvm adhered to his ruling of previous years, holding that where necessity for license was shown to his satisfaction, the law im-oses upon hiiu the duty of granting license. The question whether or not liquor should be sold is fr the legislature to decide, not the court.

The cases of the Citizens' Gas Company vs. St. Clair, Baden ami Freedom boroughs were next considered. These grew out of an attempt of the boroughs named to impose requirements in consideration of the right of way, after the manner of tlie city of Pittsburgh, which attempted to impose upon gas companies within its limits certain ordinances afterward declared by the supreme court unconstitutional. The court suggested that if the matter could be amicably settled it would prove a saviug of time and expense.

The jirties finally agreed upon the following conditions: That the pipe shall be of good wrought iron, which shall have withstood a pressure of at least WH) pounds to the square inch at the works, and shall be buried iu trenches at a depth of at least three and one-half feet, and before being covered shall be tested and made to withstand a pressure of at least 400 pounds to the square inch.

The telephone is on its way to girdle the globe, following- the telegraph to use the term in its conventional sense to which it is so closely allied. The linal triumph will be when a gentleman can send a whisper round the planet iuto his own ear.

Meanwhile, it is something to have two cities so far apart as Brussels and Paris hi perfect telephonic communication; and this, as our correspondents hi those capitals inform us, has now been done. Paris and Brussels are not very much nearer to one another than Paris and London, yet king" and president conversed freely yesterday from their respective capitals. "When they had done with the wire, the queen of the Belgians listened to a rehearsal at the Paris Opera. The music readied the royal ear, we are told, like an attenuated strain from a musical box. Her majesty had much to be thankful for.

Coupled with the phonograph, in a recent romance, it proved of great assistance in the detection of crime. A gentleman had been murdered under that aelmitted of the registering of the whole dialogue between himself and his assassin by the two instruments combined. The assassin escaped, but years after the instruments gave up their secret at the very moment of his imprudent return to the sccna of the crime.
