“Hope I don’t intrude ?”’—PauL Pry
Ever since our worthy Mayor’s Procla-
mation, we have had some things enacted in
our ancient Borough worthy of note; and
the wonder was that the selected Burghers
yelept the Council, had not, appointed a Re~
porter to give and note the passing events
of the times since the inauguration of his
administration, But not having been done,
I become determined that such an ellipsis
should not pass. That it was due to the
local history of our renowned Borough, the
acts and vigilance of our Mayor, and his

Picx1c.—On Tuesday, the first jnst.. Mr.
|
* Yeager’s Singing School held a picnic on
Shugert’s farm, near the Blae Spring, which
passed off pleasantly, everybody appearing
| highly delighted. As so much has been
| said about this picnic, and a great *‘hurly-
burly” raised because the lads and lasses
| protracted their stay a little beyond the
time usually given to occasions of the kind,
| we deem it proper to say a few words by
way of explanation, especially as we have
been requested to do so, by some of those
who were concerned in the matter, and who
feel hurt at the ridiculous and contemptible
| stories that have been circulated in regard
[ to it.
It appears that our picnic friends deter-
mined to have a social dance, and for that
| purpose engaged a barn floor on the premis-
| es. By this arrangement they were enabled
| to shake the “light fantastic toe’’ pretty
much all afternoon, and after supper the
| dance was again renewed, and kept up till
: about 9 o'clock, when the party broke up
| and returned to town, never dreaming of the
| terrible storm that only awaited their arri-
| val to pour its fury upon their devoted
| heads. In the morning, however, they were
astonished to learn that they were the town
talk, and that their innocent party had been
pronounced a vile affair, and that the mem-
bers of it were “no better than they should
be,” &c.
As may be imagined, our young friends
| felt very much hurt at these outrageous sto-
ries, and as they had no other way to vindi-
cate themselves, the matter was explained
to the editors of the Press and Watchman,
| who were requested to set the public right
| in the matter. In accordance with this re-
| quest we take pleasure in adding our testi-
mony to the good character of all concerned,
and especially to that of our friend Mr. Yea-
| ger, who has been singled out as the prime
| mover in the affair, and denounced with a

as a matter of course, brought forth large
numbers of young America, who made the

Kesiah was one of those who was jubilant

the Mayor, with a Lad voice, commanded |
all persons to sssisthim in Lis onset on |
Miss i{esiah. and referred to his imperial |
maunitesto.
Tuts had not the desired effect. |
He and his assistants made a gallant charge |
and placed Miss Kesiah ‘hors Ju combat’ on |
the pavement in a sorry phght. Here she |
acted badly, and charged the Mayor and as. |
sistants with evil intentions—which nobody
believed —while the side walks were throng |
ed with all conditions of human nature, The i
Mayor bawled out for assistance, and was |
only answered by the yellsof the crowd, |
“Go it, Kis!” —while ihe Lager Troop
struck up : |
*‘Roompy. Stumpy Swartzor dieble

This was too bad in a christian town, but |
the vigilant Mayor § Co. were not to be out |
done by this finesse. Miss Kesiah was |
seized ma: fully, raised to her feet surround. !
ed on all sides by the Mayor and aids, but |
not without loosing her upper garments, |
presenting to the cye of the amateur a picce |
of ebony statury. Young America gave a
yell, and the Mayor commanded all and ev
ery person to take hold and assist in the
arrest or abide his displeasure, &c. This
had some effect—the attack was renewed on |
Kesiah in her almost nude state, but alas | |
tangle foot and exertion had its effect. —- |
Some of phe Mayor’s posse got the worst of |
it, judging from the shaking of fingers and
the cry for water—and hear what some poet’
or song makers have said, was verified :
* A rose would smell as loud by any other name,
And waste its stench on the desert air.’’
This offended the olfactory nerves of his |
Excellency the Mayor. He dashes for the |
side walks, and commands assistance. This
pleased young America, who bawled out,
Go it, Mayor,” “Go it, Kis,” while a set
of loungers on the store boxes struck up :
“The Spar Spangled Banner
And the Cuckoo fest
May forme no more ery.’
This ruffled the Mayor, and he threatened
vengeance to the disobedient, and returned
to the attack with his assistants. Miss Ke- |
siah was roughly handled. When she pass- |
ed the Arcade corner, down she went, fight- |
ing like a tigress, when the Mayor, in the |
plenitude of his august power, gave com-
mand to the groups at the corner to assist |
him. But he was only answered, “you
don’t want anybody to take that colored !
lady, just go ahead,’” and at (he same time |
the curb stone minstrels sung at the top of |
their voices :
- ‘4 A horse eats the less when you cut off his tail.
And chickens hatch faster tho thinner the shell
A Mayor in office might do two things in one,
Hatoh eggs while he sets and write oli alone.
Hillelue, Billelue, set me down aisey,
Was there ever such a man as our Mayor in
town.”
By this time the Mayor had reached the |
prison, and Miss Kesiah put under lock and |
key. For further particulars, sce the May-~
or's modest note in his last paper. i
BOB SHORT,
Reporter,
an hour after dar. ;
As far as Mr. Yeager is concerned, we
take pleasure in testifying to his good char-
aces 0s an honorable, high minded gen'le
fizan, and no one in this town can be found
who can buthfully say ore word against
him. This much is due Mr. Yeager, who
has been severely and unjustly censured, by
those who honestly, perhaps, but unthink-
ingly and unkindly, hold him responsible for
the delay of the party to return, when, in
fact, he had no more control over it than
any other individual member.

YORK TRIBUNE. —A StarrLING Fact.
Stormstown, a neat lit-
te village in the west end of this county,
numbers among its inhabitants some as
of awfully benighted abolitionists— the lat-
ter class, of course look upon the New York
Tribune as the great light of our land ; the
savior (that isto be) of four millions of
negroes, just as good as themselves, and,
consequently, pay for and receive regularly
one copy of the daily issue, which 1s read
and treasured up as though it were a mes-
sage from the better world. To lose a sin-
gle number would bring sorrow to the hearts
of these disciples of darkness ; and when it
was ascertained on the day of ‘‘ regular
squaring up,” that one paper was missing,
they * mourned as those without hope.” —
A short time since a mysterious disease ap-
peared among the Hogs that infested the
streets. © Walking along apparently well,
they would “topple” ‘over, groaning as
though suffering the most acute . pain, and
almost instantly expire. Great speculation
was rife as to what was wrong.” All had
a name and an origin for the disease but
none a remedy. Itis notin the natare of
man to stand indolently by and see his
property go to waste without attempting to
rescue it or know the cause of its destruc-
tion. So a committee was appointed to in-
vestigate the matter, each one expecting to
learn that the animals had been poisoned. —
The operation of opening and examining the
stomachs of several was peformed and
nothing that would produce death could be
found, except small bits of Newspaper ; and
why these should prove fatal no one krew,
until npon closer examination, they were
discovered to be particles of the lost 7'i-
bune, upon one of them were the words Ab.
olition, Republicanism,” and the balance so
strongly impregnated with negroes loaded
with the * chains of slavery,” that the
stomachs of the poor brutes were to weak to
digest them. The above can be substantia~
ted, and we would advise the people of the
county to be careful that copies of the New
York Tribune are not lett lying loosly
about.

MowiNe Marca.—Aceording to previous no-
tice, ff trial of a number of Mowers was made on
Mr. MeAllister’s farm on last Saturday. The
machines present were the McCormick, the Kir-
by. the Hussey, and the Neff machine. We were
not out to sce the machines at work, and as there
were no judges appointed to decide which was the
best, every man was left to judge for himself, and
as a natural consequence, every man having a
machine, claimed his to be the best. The trial,
as we understand it, was not to asgeertain which
machine would cut the fastest, but to see which
one would do its work the best and run the light,
cston the horsce. The Kirby got done first by
having gained one round in driving. The others
all finished about the same time As to the work
there was little difference, the ground being very
smooth and level on which the stiff bar machines
worked very well. It was generally cone ded by
the outsiders who have reported to us that if there
wag any difference in the work, that the Neff ma-
chine carried the palm Ono fact is certain in
which all seem to agree, that the draft of the Neff
machine upon the horses is not near so heavy as
the lightest of the o'herz, while the simplicity of
its construction and its consequent durability give
it a decided advaitage over all other machines
now in use. Another fact worthy of mention is
that in rough ground the Neff machine shows its
good qualities to the best advantage. The hinge
joint which allows the finger bar to raise over
knolls and fall into hollows independent of the
surface over which the driving wheels travel,
seems to be a better arrangement than any We
have ever seen. The Neff. machine will surely
find a ready sale text harvest, and we wish the
inventor success .

A splendid “ trot 7 came off on the Miles

Choice Extracts From Brownlow,
We cu'Fthefuilowing choice extracts frou
the speech of the Reverend Wm. @. Brown.
low, delivered at the Academy of Music, in
this city, on Fridiy evening, June 13th.
‘ Unexpectedly and suddenly I found my
self able to speak to the audience for aw
hour and a half , and think upon that oc-
cagion, I might have been hoard for a half a
mile round from the theatre. F attributed
this sudden restoration of my volee to nv
full power and volumne to the fect that 1
was engaged in making war upon’ thix in.
finitely infernal rebellion—the werk of the
worst men in the whole Southern Cehfeder
acy, a set of corrupt depraved, dissapoin-
ted and ambitious leaders —the mest nnmit~
igated scoundrels that ever breathed the
air of Heaven. You have better men in’
Philadelphia, to nigat in your Penitentiary,
than the leaders of this rebellion South, and
I know there are better men to night in
hell.” fe
We of the South, and not” you of the
North; brotght on all this deviltry and all
this destruction. We did it and we are
mainly responsible for it ; and the gallows
will never receive its due until the leadirs
of this rebellion are hanged.
“The devil will be cheated out of his just
rights until he has the exquisite pleasure
of roustiriz the rebel leaders in hell.
I have the exquisite pleasnre of announ-
clog to you to night that your ticket (Repub
lican) was successful and iu forty eight hours
after the polls closed more than'a year ago
the fact was known all over the comnuy,
as my heftored feprésentative in Congress
on my left, Lon. Horace Maynard, can say.
He is a true loy#l, and courageous man, aud
who together with myself. Johnson and oth-
ers, will fight the rebel crew of Jeft Davis,
and t .eir hosts, and push them to the hitter
end, where we will sill fight them : awl we
intend by the grace and help of God sull 1g
pursue them to tle gates of hell, and. afl v
they have entered, to mike mouths ae
them.”
-“I'his Breckinridges party if elected, only
intended to steal all the money anl arms
they could, and ac the expiration of the four
yearg take command o* the repablic. That
was their purpose the hell deserving vai
bounds. They mtended this, ani nothing
else. Did not Mason—the whiskey rotten
headed Senator—bo'w in the Senate, and
say, no matter what the North may con.
cede to us, the Sonth will reject all —out of
the Union she must go, and out of the Union
they have tried to go. These rebel repre.
sentatives pretended to gy through the
form of their oath in the day time, but at
night they were holding caucus s as to how
they cauld break up the Union.
“If two years ago, I's tears woild have
brought old Jackson back he would have
succeeded, and placed bint in the chair ther
held by a citizen of yor State no v residing
at Wheatland. If Cld ilickory could have
been there he would have hung Floyd for
stealing, avd Thompson for seconding the
motion.”
In spite of all these wrongs imposed on
good people, hie was sorry to say thitt hers
in the North were many who sympathized
with this infernal rebellion. He wonld say
to them that they were the most hell deser.
ving and God forsgken wretches, anl worse
than those of the same sort in the S»uth.”
“It he owed the devil a debt a debt to be
discharged, and it was to be discharged by
the rendering up to him of a dozen of the
meanest, most revolting, and God forsaken
wretches that ever could be called from the
ranks of depraved human society. and he
wanted to pay that debt and get a premiom
upon the payment, he would make a tender
to his Satanic Majesty of twelve Northern
iien who sympathized wth this inform}
rebellion. ”,
“That is the spirit of Sceession at the
South. It is the spirit of mavder of the vile
untutored savage ; it is the spirit of hell ;
and he who apologies fur them is no better
than those who perpetrate the deed.”
“And yet, you have in your midst sympa-
thizers with these rascals. You ought to
drive them out of Philadelphia on a rail,
and if we begin to do 80 to morrow he
would help,”
*They had no cause to fight £.r; hell and
the deail were on their side, and that was
all. The blockade had literally ruined them.
When he left Tennesse: no sheriff's posse
could fiad a fine tooth comb 1m the whole
town, and in cons qu: nce, the heads of their
children were very much taken possession
of by little inhabitants contending for the
right of squatter sovercignty.”
It is our opimon, that the devil will be
cheated out of his just rights until he has
the exquisite pleasure of ‘roasting in hell”
the dried vp carcass of this whining old
hypocriic. :

But the B.ginning of the End.
FieNosa Ovtrace.—On Friday evening
last a negro living in St. Mary's ‘committed
a fiendish outrage op the person of a lady —
the wife of a volunteer now serving in ‘the
Federal Army —aud to conceal his crime at-
tempted to kill her. We have not learned
the full particulars of this shocking affair,
but as near as we can learn, the circumstan
ces arc as follows: The negro saw the wo
man about dark starting out of town to
to her residence, which is situated some ths
tance down the canal from St. Marys, fol.
lowed her, and when he supposed “sire had
got far enough to be beyond the hearing of
citizens of the neighborhood. he s rang upon
her, knocking her senseless and while she
was in that condition, succeeding in accom:
plishing his devilish and damnable design. —
When the poor woman returned to conscions
ness the negro was standing over her. Ile
asked her if she would tell what had oceu-
red, and on her informing him that she wou ld
surely do so. he drew a large knife and say
ing that * dead people teil no tales,’ stabh
ed her. She immediately grappled with him
and durmg the scuffle the knite fell wo the
ground, and being on the bank of the canal
she kicked it into the water. Jast at that
moment some one on the opposite side of the
canal heard the noise. and started to sec
what was the matter, whea the negro stat.
