Eieiting Seeces on the River
We were disturbed in our solemn medi
tation over our weekly cash account, on
Saturday afternoon last, by a fearful tumult
in front, and around our office. The rush
was towards the river-, and the frightful in
telligence reached us that all the rafts, from
every where above us on the stream, had
broken loos:, and Dare bearing down upon
the flotilla monred to our Pier, and wharves.
Feeling the imperative necessity for self
seerificing exertion upon the part of every
tilde-bodied male inhabitant, we nnbesita
tingly resigned the melancholy contempla
tion of the balace against us, and rushed,
with great presence of mind, to the roof of
our office, and there, braving the elements,
unfalteringly took noes.
The scene was aL exeiting one. A large
body of rafts front above was driving to
wards the bridge, carried by the:very strong
current with a rapidity that gave little
hope of a stoppage before reaching the Pier
and I`ubl is t ;round Company's Wharf, where
the rafts laid so thick as to leave a channel
evidently too narrow to afford the drifting
crafts a passage. A ennui boat that had
I been unloading coal at some of the wharves
below, was being pulled up stream about
midway in the narrow channel. Its chances
for escape scorned very slim, but the boat
men aboard worked desperately. The shore
aas covered wlth lumbermen and others,
and we ob-erred on the how , e-tops, lumber
piles. and other favorable points fur leading

tivity second only to our own.

was as little damage done as was possible
under the circumstances, and far less than
vvas feared by the owners and spectators.
tin Friday a boat, while attempting to
cross the river, was struck by a timber raft
and carrie4l down stream, dragging with it
horse and mule, the latter of which was
drowned, while the horse was with difficulty
saved. The bust was landed before reach
ing the dam.
An unpleasant impression rested on our
mind, that that mule was anchored some
where opposite our office; but we have the
satisfaction of assuring our readers, on good
authority, that the remains were seen placid
ly floating towards the data.

and we anticipate for the growing genera

his teachings on his promised return next

satisfaction, and the manner of his inter

such as to inspire a deserved respect.

Two Ml.)ar. BARNS BURNED.—On Satur
day night last, two barns belonging to Mr.
Jacob Frantz of Manor township, were fired
by an incendiary and completely consumed,
with their contents, a new wagon and cart,
horse.gears and farming utensils, fifty bush
els of oats, two hundred bundles of rye
straw, and four or five tons of hay. The
amount of insurance on both buildings was
$3BOO, in the Lancaster County Mutual In
surance Company. These barns were near
to Mr. Denlinger's which was burned the
preceding Saturday night; and the malicious
and devilish determination, evinced by the
unknown incendiaries, to destroy the prop
erty of this neighborhood, has created much
excitement among the farmers. Our coun
ty is fast becoming notorious for its crime,
and unless proper legal measures are taken
to prevent, detect and punish, its good
name of the "garden of Pennsylvania," will
have to be exchanged for one less flattering
to the pride of its citizens.
FAT ACCIDENT ON 'TILE 11Antusitetto AND
LANCASTER RA I I.ROAD.—Treo men were kill
ed on the above road on Thursday morning
by the Express Mail Train going west.—
They were walking towards Harrisburg, on
the west track, and stepped to the other to
avoid an approaching freight train from the
west, not noticing the mail train which was
close upon theta. The engineer blew his
whistle, but the engine struck them before
they had time to save themselves, killing
them instantly. The name of Fitzgerald
was found upon one of them, and a consid
erable amount of counterfeit money in their
possession, together with some burglars
A boot and shoe store, in Middletown, was
broken ()pen and plundered the night before
the accident, and from the fact of the chisels
found upon the deceased corresponding with
the marks on the rifled premises, it is pre
sumed that the bodies are those of the burg
lars.

THE Moamoss.—The N. Y. Herald of
May `:oth, learns, on reliable authority,
that the Mormons are about commencing a
settlement near Council Bluffs, for an out
post, or receiving station. The leading men
of the new settlement are said to be Eastern
men, who have not been initiated into the
real mysteries of Mormonism. It is more
than probable that the founding of this set
tlement is the real cause of Brigham Young's
secret expedition to "somewhere in the
North."
Washington Union states that
letters received in that city from Salt Lake,
convey the news that Brigham Young had
left there with two hundred chosen men to
make his way north through Oregon and
Minnesota, to the British territories. A
letter from Salt Lake to the New York Times
coincides in these statements, and expresses
the belief that the whole Mormon colony
might thus be carried nothward.
IMPORTATION Of SUGAR AND MOLASSES.—
During four days of last week, fifty-four

three hogsheads of sugar and molasses.

NEW ORLEANS, May 27.—The Steamship
Empire City has arrived below, with two
weeks' later advices from California and
Nicaragua. Her dates from San Francisco

At least ten thousand people were gath

Gen. 'Walker, accompanied by Col. Jac
ques, Mr. Pilcher, and Mr. Turner, agent

riage to the St. Charles Hotel, the crowd
following. At that place Gen. 'Walker spoke
to the assemblage, expressing thanks for
the reception, recognizing the American
love of liberty iu the mass, and assuring
them that victory was still sure.
The greatest excitement prevails in the

THE WAY THEY GET RICH IN THE WEST.-
A. friend of ours, just returned from Kan
sas, where he has resided two years, tells of
the high prices of provisions in that region.
Flour, last month, wag selling at $l4 per
barrel, molasses $1 50 a gallon, pork 20 ets.
a pound, and other things at the same rate.
The crops last year were poor, the winter
severe, killing many cattle, and the army
of emigration so large as to devour all be
fore them. To the question, how did you
live? the answer was prompt: "Live," said
he, "lived on cracked corn; corn for break
fast, corn for dinner, and corn for supper. I
have just learned to live; and if I had prac
tised here fur ten years, what I was forced
to there, even at low wages, I should have
been a rich man."
GERIIANS IN NEW YonK.—There are one
hundred thousand German inhabitants in
the city of New York. They have upwards
of twenty places of public worship, upwards
of fifty schools, ten book stores and five
printing establishments, a German theatre,
German opera, and matinees and soirees
musicale innumerable. Many Germans are
engaged in mechanical arts, many are
practical furriers, surgical instrument ma
kers, manufacturers of pianos and fancy
articles, grocers, bakers, confectioners and
hotel keepers. There are several daily,
weekly and monthly newspapers.
ANT IMPORTANT QUESTION DECIDED.-
Recently the question has arisen before the
Postmaster General whether a Deputy Post
master can be compelled to obey a summons
to appear in Court with a valuable or other
letter that rests in his office addressed to
another party. The Postmaster General,
under a decision of thu Attorney General's
office decided that ho cannot legally do so.
A NEW NAME.—In Alabama, where the
Democratic party is divided on the subject
of internal improvements, that portin of
them which opposes the construction of rail
ways, arc called dirt-road Democrats.
TaNNEssre.—The Gubernatorial candidates
in this state have taken the stump, and have
designated over fifty places whore they pur
pose making speeches between this and the
third of August. They will unquestionably
have a warm time of it.
DEATII OF TITO U. S. SENATORS.—Late
telegraphic despatches announce the death
of Senator Butler, of South Carolina, on
Monday evening last, and also that of Sen
ator Bell, of New Hampshire, on Tuesday.
,~- An advertisement appears in the
papers, headed, "Do you suffer toothache?"
We should say that any one laboring under
the indiction instead of answering the ques-
tion. would be more inclined to hold his
jaw.
rtS,.. Visitors at Niagara Falls will re
member a staircase on the west side of Goat
Island, called the Biddle Staircase. Some
one asked a friend of ours why it was called
by that name. "Because it wound up the
bank," was the answer.
RENNING THE COMET LNTO THE GR01%,;11.
The Indianapolis Journal advances a new
and very striking theory of the Aurora
Borealis, viz: That a comet has, at some
time, bit the earth at the North Pule, and
run into Symums' Ilole, leaving its tail
sticking out; the flapping of which makes
auroral light.
We-Wendell Phillips defines a politician
as one who serves God as far as he can
without offending the devil. This is
epiErniumatie and not far from the mark.
Do Right
A wealthy merchant remarked a few days
since that Ile vies fully continced, from his
own experience, that the means to achieve
success lay in a nut-shell—no RIGILT. "When
I say success," said he, "I mean not only
the accumulation of fortune, but the ability
to enjoy it—to live a useful, happy life."—
What is the use of much wealth if we know
it was obtained by wronging the widow and
orphan, by the tricks of trade, selling arti
cles for what they were not, and a thousand
modes of unfair dealing? Granting that
men grow better by doing kindly acts, and
feel the better fur seeing others do them,
how sickening it must be to the true man
to know that by false dealing ho has curd
led the milk of human kindness in one
breast, turning it to bitter .gall! If wealth
comes by such means, let it come not at all.
Shall an active man, possessed of God-given
powers, at his dying hour turn back to his
past life and be able only to say: I have
done nothing to add to the wealth of the
ivorld in gold or silver, or in artistic pro
ductions, but have coveted the labors of
others, heaped treasures sordidly to myself,
foolishly supposing that I might trample
down all feeling,: and sympathies not di
rectly
productive of gain? or shall he rather
be able to say that, While I have industri
ously gathered wealth, I have done it with
cheerful looks, kindly words, warm sympa
thies; I have done it by making things
which have added to the comfort of men, by
bringing within the reach of the poor great
means of present enjoyment, the opening of
a brilliant future, by throwing lights of
sympathy on 'the dejected, lifting up the
down-fallen, strengthening the weak, in
fusing in all a fervent belief in the brighter
part of their being? Such a life will enable
a man to throw off his wealth as a scale, at
the last day, bearing away only the imper
ishable soul, which has accumulated strength
along with the mass of worldly goods justly
and usefully obtained. Would you, young
man, belong to the latter class, DO RIGHT.—
How much better to do right, if you die not
worth a farthing, and feel that you have
rather added to the good faith in the higher
life on earth, than to die while rolling in the
luxury, pomp, and pride of ill-gotten gains!
Then no RIGHT! no niour! and if tempted
for momentary ease and vanity to abuse
your better nature, rest assured that both
the body and spirit will suffer in a ratio
corresponding to the transgression. There
is but one road to happiness and content
