Is - to-day redeemed. That the improve
ment is a marked oho, a glance at the
paper will prove; and that our friends
will be pleased with it, we have the
egotism to believe. Certainly no effort
or means have been spared to Well it.
It Is now twenty-two years since the
establishment passed into our hands—
having entered upon Its possession on
the 19th of August, 1845. This Is the
second enlargement during that period.
In May, 1857, we added a‘eolunin to each
'page, and lengthened them all; and now
another column is added, witica corres
ponding increase in length—making a
difference in space of nearly nine of the
old columns, tufd.placlng the COMPILF.R
among the largest papers In the State.
Votthe steadily grdwing patronage which
hits necessitated j.kese Inaprovementa, we
take occasion here,-In a word, to express
our most profound, and heart-felt ac
knowledgments. For the_ kind favors of
the many who have stood by us, in storm
as well as eitinshine—wehave had both—
feelings of gratitude will ever be cher
ished.
During our occupancy of this poet, the
political complexion of the county has
undergone a gratifyin4 change. From
six or eight hundred against, the majori
ty has turned toseveral hundred infavor
of the I,,emucracy. Aud the old (.:oxtrt-
LEE, from the small six-column sheet of
1845, has grown Into one of the largest
(dare we nut say handsomest?) of coun
try journals. In the former improve
ment, every Democrat Must feel au hon
est, animating pride; in the latter we
are happy to believe that somethfng of
the same feeling will be experienced.
We have tried to deserve some such. de
gree of appreciation, and think that
these now large and ample pages eannot
but win it.
The Coatribmu was established by
fa
cob Lefever, Esq.—to whom life and
comparative health are, thanks to a kind
Providence; still spared—tu September,
1518. Since then it has appealed regu
larly every week, (with .but an excep
tion or two) always the faithful advocate
of its principles—always true to the land
marks established by the fathers of the
Republic. ,
During the many years in which the
paper has been In our hands, we have
never missed a publication but one, (du
ring the battle here):—never Issued a
half sheet—and were never a day late.
Few publishers can say as much.
Monday has been the day for the Com
rAntt's appearance throughout more
than a quarter of a century. We have
long been inclined to change the day,
the better to suit ,the local malls and
therefore our county readers, but an hr
disposition to innovate has thus far pre
vented. - Thin, however, seems to be an
auspicious -period, and, we take advan
tage of. it to make the change. The
COMPILER will, therefore, hereafter ap-
pear on Friday ..Afternoon, and may be
looked for at all points reached by the
t•taturclay mails. IL is hoped that the
change will be generally satisfactory to
our patmns. It is made solely with a
view to their better accommodation.
Just here another matter comes in.
The paper Is now printed—this number
is the first—on °neat Potter & Co's. large
cylinder Power Presses. It will be ob
served, ton, that the advertising depart
ment is In type different from that for
merly used—much smaller In the body,
but still full and clear in the face. This
is all new—as is nearly everything now
used in the establishment. To procure
'this machinery and these materials, a
heavy nullity (to us) has been, and still
is, required. Three thousand dollars
will hardly see us through. Some of
this expense might have been eared for
the present by continuing the use of the
old type, but once fairly launched upon
the enterprise, we felt that it was uo
time to stop at any point within our
means (or credit, rather,) to furnish a
gnat-elasa country newspaper, at least in

this solthotit any increase in the price of

indksiodely assumed, will depend entire

The enlargement involves as in con

of the President will meet the hearty

He
has opposed all effo to reunite the

Radicals to anticipate the mdvements of

He half held power as the agent of a fac

these things Edwin M. Stanton has

for the purpose of keeping the Radical

' ADDRESS.—Don't fail to read the Ad-
dress of the Democratic ,State Central
Committee, printed on our first page. It
is written In "Ir. Wallace's peculiarly
terse and forcible style, and contains a
series of charges against the Radical
corruptiouists and dent ionists which
are entirely irrefutable, ar must have
weight with thinking, pat otic men, of

COUNTY TicxErs.—The Democracy of
Cumberland county, on the 12th instant,
nominated the following strong ticket:
Assembly, Theodore Cullman ; Sheriff,
Joseph C. Thompson ; Treasurer, Chris
tian Ilellinger ; Commissioner, Allen
Floyd; Director, David Wolf; Auditor,
E. Mounts; Jury Commissioner, John
B. Drawbangh.
The Democracy of York county made
their nominations on Tuesday week, as

Stephen G. Boyd ; Treasurer, John Glat

missioner, Thomas Platt ; Auditor, J. B.
Pfaltzgroff. Tne Convention was full
and harmonious, and the ticket is an un
exceptionable one.
Trtsi Democratic Delegate Elections in
this county will be held to-morrow, and
the County Convention on Monday. We
have only to repeat—send the best men
as Delegates, and a good ticket will be
the result; and when nominated, let
every Democrat put his shoulder to the
wheel, in order to secure a li , irge majori

old Keystone from the hands of the ne

Tas Democratic County Meeting of
Berks county, held on the 6th inst., was

yo how Ashley, first through his man
Fr day, Matchett, anti afterwards in per-
BM , managed to make known to me his
al hes, aims and purposes, and enlist
m , as far as a forced promise would go,
in his enterprise. I shall, therefore,
on • advert here to sonic things which
Ita e been said and done by the conspire
to , which are susceptible of being prov
ed leftist them by the most irrefutable
evi .ence.
fter obtaining my promise to render
all the assistance in my power, Mr.
Ashley explained to me the kind of
'evidence he thought it most advisable
;to present against you. He thought it
'would be very plausible to prove :
flirst. That Booth had on several oc
casions paid you familiar visits at the
Kipkwood. This, it was hoped, I might
be ible to induce some of the old female
ser lints to testily to. If this could
rlbt be done, then it should be proved
by s mile of mv friends who happened
to he at the house at the time, who
knsiw Booth, kc., and saw the visit.
Secondly. That your correspondence
with Booth, which should be shown by
one or more pen-ons who had taken
notes from Booth to you, and your
replies (contents unknown) thereto to
Booth. The witnesses should be per
sons who would profeis to have been
intimate with Booth, and to have been
enllted by him to take part in the assas
sination.
Thirdly. That the placing of Atzerott,
with weapons, at the Kirkwood House,
was! only a sham—to make it appear
that you were intended as a victim, and
Ulna distract all suspicion from you of
conniving at Lincoln's murder. This,
also, it was suggested, could be proved
bypersons who could testily that they
had, been induced to enter into the
conspiracy with Booth, and had per
fortried a part iu organizing it, etc.,
which persons, it was to be understood,
were induced to testify under an assur
ance from the Uovernmeut that they
shotild not be prosecuted for any part
they bad taken.
The resolution under which Butler's
committee was appointed, it will be
observed, provides fur the protection of
such persons—who are furnished with
a good excuse for not coming forward
befote—by offering iniusunity to all who
were connected with the conspiracy who
will!, now come forward and disclose
their knowledge on the subject.
Fourthly. That Booth, just after the
4th of March, stated to intimate friends
hi Vew York, whom he endeavored to
enlist in the new conspiracy, that he
was acting with the knowledge of the
Vice President and that it had been
arranged to kill Lincoln on the day
of the inauguration, which would ac
count for Mr. Johnson's strange conduct
on that occaalon, which had provoked
so much ciamment in the press. That
you expected the tragedy to be enacted
then, and had taken several potations
to compose and nerve you for the event ;
and that you were not so much intoxi
cated as nervous and excited. •
I feel much delicacy In referring to
such topics, but I cannot Inform you of
your enemies' plan and proJeets without
being plain, and I am obliged to write
Lu 400 great haste to be uhotce in my
langtinge.
issurred Jumpy that I should have
as dtakaday In finding venom of dead
standing and mond rassetsek to pow.
these matters, and It was agreed that
I would do so as soon as released.
As an earnest that I, possessed the
ability to do what I engeged, and in
order to satisfy some of their party who
the (entsterreer of evident° -to
connect you with the assassination con
spiracy, Ashley and Butler desired and
premed me to send for two or three per
sons of whose Intelligence and qualifi
cations they meld satisfy themselves,
and whom they could parade before
their Itierestalista friends.
1 consented, and Ashley supplied the
facts it was desired they should know
and repeat, and I forwarded them to
a trusty friend, with secret explanations
ns to my own purposes, and instructions
for him to procure two other friends to
commit to memory the statements en-'
c;osed to him, and *hen sent for to
come hero and repeat them (but noel
under oath) to such persons as I should
indicate.
After allowing my friends sufficient
time to learn their parts, the Rev. Mr.
Matehett wseeent for them, in order
that It might be said that he, agent for
the impeachers, had found the witnesses,
and that their character for veracity
was above suspicion.
On arriving here these persons were
inspected by Ashley and Butler, and
were found to possess the requisite quali
fications as to intelligence and personal
appearance, but unfortunately for the
inspectors it was deemed necessary to
make some changes, modifications in
some and additions to other portions
of their statements, before presenting
them 141' the lukeworm Radicals it as
their intention to inflame. It being
impracticable for the men to see nie
at the jail on such business, and equally
so for me to communicate to them the
desired changes and necessary explana
tions in writing to enable them to incor
porate these changes in their original
statements without leading to confusion
or contradiction, it was found necessary
for somebody else to take 111 V office of
preceptor, &c. This, with slight hesi
tation, was done by Mr. Ashley, on
my assurance that the parties were Rad
icals, died in the wool, and men of
honor in whom he could safely repose
con fldence.
I have learned both from Ashley and
the parties themselves what was said
and done by and between them in the
matter. The statements they were de
sired to make were revised by Mr.
Ashley, and they were assured by him
that in cane it should be determined to
examine them before the committee
they should be splendidly rewarded.
Mr. Ashley also discoursed to them
on the propriety and justice of the course
it was proposed to pursue to make cer
tain of the impeachment of the Presi
dent. He declared that you were a
traitor to your party and country,
That there was no doubt of your compli
city in the assassination conspiracy,
but that the evidence was in the hands
of your friends and could not all he got
at. That .4 enoug.h, however, had been
recured to satisfy most reasonable men
of your guilt ; but that, in order to sat
isfy the most exactiug, the statement
of these persons before the committee
would be requisite. That the end
fully justified the means, and that ev
ery man who contributed in this way
to the impeachment of the President
would deserve well of the country,
and that he (Mr. Ashley) would see
them rewarded tenfold when your suc
cessor should come Into power.
Subsequently the parties were present
ed to Mr. Butler, and after being inspect
ed and passed by him, were introduced
by him and Ashley to the several Radi
cal members of the House, Nr, ho, it was
understood, had hitherto doubted the
existence of evidence implicating you
in the assassination conspiracy, and who
informally interrogated them as to the
matters upon which they had been in
structed.
Mr. Butler desired to have taken the
depOsitions of these men at the time,
Mit I would not consent to its being
done until I should be released, as at
first agreed.
These facts can be proved by these
three persons and also by my wife,
whose character for truth and veracity
is not inferior to Mr. Ashley's, mil I
shall take pleasure, if at liberty. in pro
ducing them before any committee or
tribunal for the impeachment of the
impeachers.
But the evidence of this conspiracy
does not depend entirely upon oral proof.
The letters from Ashley, herewith en
closed, in themselves speak volumes.
What statement from me could 4tave
wanted, and for what purpose? Any
thing it was in my power to state to
hint could have been stated to him orally
a dozen times during his previous visits
to me.
The statement he wanted was this,
and for this purpose: There were many
prominent Radicals, and especially
among his own constituents, who were
lukewarm on the subject of impeach
ment, who were not prepared to believe
that you were privy to the murder of
Lincoln, and whose co-operation was
greatly needed. Ashley therefore de
sired to be able to place before them
assurances that the most unquestionable
evidence of your guilt could be produced.
He therefore requested me to prepare
an elaborate paper, setting forth that
such and such persons could be produced
who knew and would testify to this,
that - and the other thing, including the
pretensions that Booth had been seen
in your room several times; that you
had corresponded with him and Ns ith
parties In Richmond ; and that
the persons who could testify to these
facts were of the most respectable
standing, and would come forward
and tell all they knew, if prOtected by
the flovernment. He wished me to
put it in a style and tone that would
be sure to carry conviction with it. He
desired that, In addition to the points
of evidence we had conferred about, my
statements should contain others, and
he gave me a memorandum of other
points, which he requested me to in
corporate in my statement. This memo
minium I inclose, and I believe It is in
Matchett's hand writting. After pre
paring the statement I sent ft to him,
at Toledo, when he wished to make
use of it.
There is another note from Ashley en
closed worthy of attention. It is in pen
cil, and was written at the office of
Judge Carter. - After the failure,
through the blundering of Matchett, to
secure my release at the time promised
I became angry and used pretty severe
language to Matchett. He went to
Ashley and Butler in alarm, and report
ed that I was going to expose the entire
scheme to you.
After the persons I had sent for to
New York, as witnesses, bad returned,
Ashley wrote, without my knowledge,
to persuade them to come here again,
and In his letters to two of them he
thoughtlessly suggested some additions
that it was desired they should make to
their statements. He made the , e sug
gestions by letter, as his letters explained,
because lie was not certain that he should
be here when they arrived, or they
might meet Bingham or some other
person they had been introduced to
when previously here, before he could
see them and give them points, and he
therefore wanted them "posted."
After my talking to him so severely
on account of the failure to have me re
leased at the time promised, D. F. Mat
chat became frightened and seemed to
get the idea that I had his letters to those
parties, and had sent them, or copies of
them, to you. Possibly, in my anger,
I had uttered as much. He, therefore.
made known his fears to Ashley and
Butler, and Ashley endeavored by this
note to obtain the letters.
I have just been ordered to get ready
for the penitentiary.
CELAS. A. DUNHAM.
It is evident that Ashley and Co., flat
tered Conover with the promise of a par
don as the reward for his new crime, and
Lhus induced him to fabricate testimony
connecting Andrew Johnson with the
Booth and Payne.conspinicy, and to pro
cure witnesses who would swear to his
manufactured testimony before the Con
gressional Committee. And in order that
Conover might come forth cleansed of
the crime of which he bad been con
victed, and be himself k competent
witness, these conspirators had the hardi
hood to recommend him to the President
for pardon, alleging in his behalf that
"the government was under great obli
gations to him for much valuable infor
mation."
Thisitrap, as ingenious as infamous,
the Pneident fortunately did not fall in
to. It it had succeeded, Conover would
have emerged hens his prisesi only to go
betareabCongressionalecossuittwo with
his suistant kiss swearers, and endeavor
to blacken and forever ruin the charac
ter of the distinguished Petwoulge to
whose clemency be would have owed his
freedom. But the President was not
thus cheated, anti Dunham, finding that
Ashley d. Co. had made promises whiph
they could not perform, turned - round
and addressed a letter to the President
exposing the whole plot.
It will not do for Ashley, Bolt it CO.,
to say that Conover, being a convicted
perjurer, is not worthy of belief. They
have endorsed hot as a person who could
be relied upon to furnish "valuable in
formation." They have borne testimony
to the "value and Importance of his ser
vices" to the government even while he
lay in prison under sentence of perjury.
Having voluntarily endorsed him as a
trustworthy witness against others, they
have made him a trmtworthy witness
against theimelves, and on his testimony
alone they would stand convict i ed before
the world of the dark and daring crime
of subornimr testimony, to effect
the impeachment of the President.
But the case does not rest on Dunham's
testimony alone. What lie charges
against them is eorroboratedby Ashley's
written notes to Dunham, and by But
ler's resolution in the House at the ad
journed session of Congress, and by facts
and circumstances si Mini the knowledge
of the public in general.
These revelations account for the dark
hints thrown out iti Congress, that the
President was connected with the assas
sination plot, and that hi due time start
ling evidence would be made public.—
That evidence was no doubt the chain of
perjury Ashley and his associates were
concocting with Conover! The train
was all laid and ready to be fired. But
its disclosure Ihnlies upon the public by
the confes4ion of one of the conspirators,
and instead of destiuying the President,
it consigns his scoundrelly persecutors
to everlasting Infamy.
A cr-rraiLL DEMPOTIAM.
Forney's frees is daily
_growing more
outspoken in its hatred of our constitu
tional system, and consequently, of trea•
son to the Government. It says, echo
ing the sentiments of a leading Massa
chusetts Radical paper ;
"We fought not for the Constitution,
but for existence as an integral power
among the nations. Our paper Constitu
tion was but the condensation of British
precedents, and can no more escape
modifications from revolutionary force
than its prototype. The Constitution
eompromised part of the Declaration of
Independence, to secure national unity
—but the times are eliziged."
In other words, the war, according to
the Radical view, was fought to destroy
the rights reserved to the btates by the
Constitution, and to combine all govern
ing powers in a central Government—
the sole control of which is to be vested
in a rump Congress. Treason like this
to the republican system and the Consti
tution founded by the wise men of the
Revolution, as greatly merits indictment,
trial and punishment as armed hostility
against the Government; and when the
people shall awaken to a full realization
of the enormity of the despotic opinions
disseminated by the Radical press and
leaders, it will be a death-blow, - morally
and politically—if not physically—to the
Forneys, and titevenses, Camorons, Re/-
ieys, and the rest of that faction of usur
pers.
They had better take the baCk track.
The "times are changed," it is true, but
the people have the same regard for civ
il liberty, the same respect for the Con•
stitution and the same jealous eye for the
purity of the ballot box as in times past.
They may submit to wrong, to persecu
tion and the usurping domination of am
bitious demagogues for a while, but,
when forbearance ceases to be a virtue,
they will strike like a thunderbolt And
leave no vestige of the despots. Lel the
"narrow-minded bitekheads" take war
ning.—Patriot S Union.
StIMENCKI9 ADDRESS.
Mr. Schenck, in behalf of his party,
announces that ''the present (Reptibli
can party) campaign is but a continua
-1 Wm of the war." This Is the declare
-1 tion of the party that declares it wants
1 peace and union. The surrender and
1 dispersion of the Confederate army ; the
treaty between Lee and Grant; tke
proclamation of peace by the President;
1 the perfect submission of the South to
' the general government, and obedience
to its Constitution and laws, are all Ig
noted by Mr. Schenck and his political
associates, and the continuation of the
war 'proclaimed. This Is the theory of
the party generally, and hence the "con
quered territory" is not to enjoy peace as
long as Radicalism can gain by nettle' or
quasi war. To Ce sure, there is no re:
sistauce ; the Radical, war Is one entirely
of aggression ; yet we are told it is to be
prosecuted at the pleasure of the domi
nant party in Congress just so long as
that party may consider it for its inter
est to continue the work of tumult and
national disintegration. Thus the pea:
pie are to be taxed to continue a war for
party ends—to gratify personal vanity,
power and pecuniary advantage ; the
business of the country is to be, sacrificed,
its political interests ignored, and doubt
and confusion allowed to distract it to
continue a war for . the personal advan
tage of Schenck, Stevens, Boutwell, Sum
ner, Butler & Co. How long will the
American people endure the control of
such unscrupulous statesmen? Is the
government to be sustained for the pro
tection and benefit of all—is it to be
maintained to establish liberty, equality,
justice, or to continue air-internecine
war for the advantage of those who
thrive only amid violence, tyranny and
spoliation ?—Bostoa Poet.
AN exchange well says, "out, of
every dollar the laboring man earns,
about sixty cents is taken indirsctly to
keep the indolent negroes, to maintain
military despotisms over eleven States,
and enrich Abolition officials. This is
why our poor men are kept poor, and
our laboring men complain of hard times.
It is the high prices and high taxes that
take their money, and it is the negro
Bureau, military despotisms, and aboli
tion officials, that make the taxes high.
To get rid of these, Radicalism must be
voted out of power."
THE Springfield (Mass.) Republican
recently said that "the re-election of
Brownlow was a matter of satisfaction
to few beside himself." That is the
opinion of the great mass of the Repub
licans; if they had the courage and hon
esty to give expiessiop to it.
AT a Democratic meeting in Waverly,
Ohio, a few days ago, Judge Hempstead,
heretofore a prominent Radical, gave
in his adherence to the Democratic par
ty and was made president of the meet
ing.
FORNEY'S organ says that before the
second trial of Barran can take place
Congress will pass the negro juror bill
and a black jury will be summoned to
convict him. A packed jury of nigger,'
Is the Radical idea of a fair trial and
even-handed justice.

Destructive Fire in Buchanan Valley.—
On Saturday night week, a most destruc
tive fire occurred in Buchanan Valley,
this county, involving the entire loss of
Miltenberger & Brady's Steam Saw Mill,
with probably a thousand dollars' worth
of manufactured lumber and logs. The
fire is supposed to have been the work of
some devilish ineehdlary. The total loss,
we are told, is between four and five
thousand dollars, on which there was un
fortunately no insurance.
Messrs. Miltenberger & Brady are en
terprising, industrious young men, to
whom this loss is very serious. By close
application and hard work, they were
doing wonders in the mountain, and It
is lobe hoped that they will soon be able
to rebuild. They furnished work to quite
a number of hands about the nail, with
a large amount of hauling to the farmers
in the neighborhood. Viewed in all as•
pects, the destruction of this property is
a calamity of no ordinary character, and
one which is deeply regreted.
We have since been told that on the
night of the tire, nearly ull the spring
houses In the Valley were entered, and
their most valuable contents carried off.
Truly, it was an unfortunate night for
that region,
Barn Burnt The splendid new barn
of Adam Shorb, in bloUntplettaant town
ship, was destroyed by lightning on
Tuesday evening week, consuming his
entire crops of grain and hay, with a
new buggy, wagon, threghing machine
and many other agricultural Implements.
There was also in the barn a large por
tion of Mr. Shorb's household furniture,
put there for safe keeping, during the
erection of a new dwelling, and all of it
was burnt. The loss is heavy ; partially
insured In the , Mummashurg Company.
Mr. Shorb is generally sympathized with
in this sevt•re loss.
Another.—On the same night, the barn
of Peter Myers, in the neighborhood
of Hampton, this county, was also
struck and consumed, with all his hay
and grain. We have not learned the ex
tent of the loss, nor whether Insured.
Court is still in session as we go to
press. Josiah H. Ryland has been con
victed of stealing Dr. Gochenour's horse
and Dr. Peffer's saddle and bridle, and
senteneed to the penitentiary for three
years. lease Kane found guilty of steal
ing Jacob R. Witmer's horse. Motion
for a new trial. Joseph Snow convicted
of disfiguring a horse belonging to Eliza
beth Slunk, and sent to the House of
Refuge. Henry Remmers, charged with
stealing oats, saw and chisel, from C. B.
Polley and Noah Lott, was cleared.—
George W. Thompson convicted of at
tempt to commit a rape on Miss Pitzer,
and sentencedto one year in the peniten
tiary.. Full proceedings next week.
Advertiging.—The business character
of a town is indicated in its newspapers.
Show us a newspaper with plenty of
home advertisements, and we will show
you an enterprising people. Gettysburg
is doing tolerably well in this line, but
to wipe out the "one-horse" Impression
which some outsiders have, our business
men must all show their go-ahead-ative
ness by their cards in the papers. It will
pay them as a business tninsaction, and
show well for the town. So mote it be.
ZOWI.VC4I. —We neglected to men
tion in our last that the "Gettysburg
Zouuves," Capt. Norris, made their first
parade in full uniform on Friday even
ing week. Their appearance was very
attractive, winning expressions of ad
miration frOm all beholders. The uni
form eonsiats'of a dark blue jacket, faced
and trimmed with red, and wide red
pants, trimmed with blue; red cap,
with blue band; linen leggings complet
ing - the dress. Altogether, it is a splen
did Zouave 'make-up. The company
marched and drilled excellently on the
occasion. That it will become a crack
affair nobody doubts. -_

York (Inotty Items.—The York Oa
scone, of Tuesday, says : On Thursday
iaste , t(uddy creek, in this county, was
greatly swollen by the heavy rains, and
what, several persons, including
Son and. daughter of Benjamin Pymer,
and a grandson of Alexander Anderson,
allbf Fawn township, were standing on
Morton's stone bridge over the creek, in
Fawn and Lower Chanceford townships,
one of the arches of said bridge gave
way and precipitated the three children
above mentioned into the raging waters.
Every effort was made to rescue them,
but all failed, and the terror stricken re
latives and friends of the, victims could
only look on in despair. Mr. Pym er's
children were aged respectively five and
eight years, and Mr. Anderson's grand
child about live years. The body of
only one, Mr. Pymer's son, was rescued
on Sunday last.
On Saturday, the 27th of July, two
young men named Darius Drorbaugh
and Ambrose Jessup, of Uoldsborough,
had a dispute at that place, during which
the latter threw a stone at the former,
striking him on the head and fracturing
the skull. After the affair, the wounded
man was able to walk to his home (about
one mile,) and nos able to be about the
next day, after having the wound dress
ed. Re became worse afterwards, how
ever, and died on the second Tuesday
following. Jessup was arrested and
brought to the county prison, where he
remains to await his trial at the August

The Pr arts says that as Wm. Leek rone,
of Hellam township, was on his way
from the field to the barn, with aloud of
oats, in descending a hill the Lame
string of the horse upon which he was
riding broke, the horse became unmana
geable, when L. fell to the ground, and
the wheels of the wagon passed over his
neck, causing his death In a few mil,
utes afterwards.
The high water of last week was very
destructive in that county. The Spring
Forge dam was swept away, as was that
at P. A. ,k S. Small's Springgarden. n:1111,
on Diehl's run. Uodorua creek was
higher than at any time since the great
flood of 1860.
Sehool Items.—As this is the season of
the year when teachers are employed to
teach during the ensuing term, directors
should be careful to employ none but
such as have valid certificates, otherwise
they will forfeit their share of the State
appropriation. Directors should in all
cases see the certificate before making a
positive engagement, as they are requir
ed to make oath to the fact.
We wish to remind teachers that the
last Legislauire passed au act making
the History of the United States one of
the branches to be taught iu the Common
Schools—hence all who wish certificates
must be examined in that branch.
The last Legislature also passed An net
authorizing the County Institute to draw,
annually, a small sum of money from
the county funds, for the purpose of em
ploying lecturers and instructors at the
meetings of the Institute. The safe
guards of the act are such that the mo
ney must be" property and legitimately
expended. The act makeilt binding upon
teachers to attend these meetings.

THE Surratt trial ended on Saturday
week, by the Jury not being able to agree.
Some accounts say that the Jury stood, at
the beginning, eight for acquittal to
four for conviction—others six to six—
and that no change was made during the

thought to be tantamount to an acquittal,
as i t la not likely that he will again be
arraigned.
