from the ..11, - zaheint Sentinel, of July 15th.,
the proceedings of a meeting held in the

The meeting at the Central School Ifouse,
OR Wednesday evening tact, called for the
purpose of an interchange of sentiment in
regard to the construction of this road by
way of Martheim, was well attended, and
much enthusiasm evinced by those present.
The meeting was organized by appointing
Michael White, Esq . ., of this Borough, Chair
man; AM. Bruckart of Penn township,
and John Shaeffer, of Lancaster, Cite Pres.
iliellt9; and J g..Enscainger, Secretary.
Mr, N Worley being called upon, stated
the of ject of the meeting, in which he allu
ded to the very encouraging prospects of this
place being made a point on the road, and
strongly urged upon the citizens to give their
aid and inuuence to the pr:ject.
On motion, J. W. Fisher,Esq.,nf Columbia,
then addressed the meeting at some length.
Daring the course of his remarks he stated
that this was the only link of railroad re•
maining unfinished between New York and
Baltimore; that many of the farmers on the
route were favorable to its construction, and
that there was no section of country in the
Union more fertile than the one the line
will pass through. That the road will of
means to export our surplus produce,
and that all that is wanting is fur the peo
ple to take up the matter in earnest. Toe
very policy of the citizens is to make this
place a pilot, as it is very clear that the
large amount of basineas that would natu
rally concentrate here would make this
place the in tst important point between
Reading and Columbia.
Dr. Suavely, as chairman of tiro commit

which were• unanimously adopted:

Police Items
REPOTED BY OUR SPECIAL "MOUCEIARD."
ARREST OF 6 V/LLAIN.—On Saturday,l6th
inst., officer Hollingsworth arrested a negro
named George Anderson, suspected of being
the perpetrator of a fiendish outrage on a lit
tle girl in Salisbury township, near the Gap.
The negro was secured in the luck-up,
awaiting the Harrisburg train in the after
noon. The news of his arrest created con
siderable excitement in town, and had there
been positive proof of the fellow's guilt,
lynch low would undoubtedly have been
meted out to him. Suspicion was very
positive, and the feeling against him was
strongly influenced by the expressed desire
of Anderson to obtain a razor. lie said he
would rather cut his throat than be taken
to the Gap. Officer Hollingsworth took the
Harrisburg train with his prisoner. Before
the oars started the negro was handed a
bundle of clothing by one of his friends,
from which he took a cap, replacing with
this his hat which he threw from the window.
The officer secured the hat unobserved by
Anderson. The prisoner was conveyed be
fore Esquire Kennedy, at the Gap, and the
little girl was present to identify him. She
hesitated—stated that she believed him to
he the man, but could not be positive. IN
lingsworth then removed the negro's cap
and put on the hat worn at the time of his
arrest. The child at once, and without hes
itation recognized him ns the brute who had
violated her. lle was committed by the
magistrate and conveyed by the officer to the
county prison.
This case is one of the most atmlious out
rages we have ever known, and had the dia
b•dical villain met with summary justice at
the 11.,nds of the infuriated people, few voices
would hare been raised in protest. He is
in the hands of the law, and such punish
ment a^. the law prescribes he will undoubt
edly receive, to its fullest extent.
SnARE AND Smsar, ALIKE.—On Monday
ISth inst., Miss Julia Patterson appeared
before Esquire Welsh and entered com
plaint against Isaac. Young for assault and
battery. Isaac was brought to the bar by
Richard, in virtue of a warrant issued out
of the Blue Front, and the prosecutrix was
called upon to state her case. Julia wound
up her talking gear and giving the pendu
lum an admonitory swing started with her
little "noration." She prefaced the facts
of the case with a cunning bid for the
'Squire's disinterested s,} 'apathy, reminding
him that "I futch all my business to de
Blue Front, an' ye' know, l's had I
no fool 'mount oh trouble in my time. I I
gits 'seal:al 'bout once a week--keep dot
in ye' eye Mr. Welsh." C, l impluinant then
went on to state that while she was enjoying
a quiet evening stroll, at about twelve of
the clock on Saturday night, she encoun
tered at the corner of Fifth and Union sts.,
the prisoner at the bar, who made insulting
allusions not only to her completion hut to
her standing in society. Ile called her
"yeller," and otherwise injuriously re
proached her with profane and intensely
powerful adjectives,attached whereto follow
ed a substantive of unpleasantsignification.
She, Julia, couldn't stand any such abuse
from a drunken nigger, •so she advised
Isaac that he he was a black summer-hcad
ed (Ike's hair had not recovered from the
last cropping at Lancmter) thief, whereup
on the prisoner "thundered" her, and other
wise despitefully used her. She made no
resistenee, but appealed to the protection
of the law, in which she had confidence.
Out of a horde of witnesses, variously
disquaiified for legal testimony, two were
selected, one pro and the other con, and
called upon for an unbiased description of
the affray. Mrs. Julia Brown, MC Thomas,
a bride of a few weeks, and John Appleby
were the parties, and their testimony al
though differing materially in spirit, was
substantially the same in fact. Isaac
struck and Julia kicked; Is an pulled
'•wool" and Julia scratched; Julia attempted
to gouge but did not n.ake due allowance
for Isaac's mouth, which occupies the me
jority of his face, and in consequence got
her finger between Isaac's molars, which
made play stud finished the fight in his
favor.
The 'Squire consulted his authorities and
basing his decision on the well known fun
damental principle laid down by Welsh in
similar cases, sentenced both parties to ton
days retirement at Lancaster, at bard labor,

"Per" Fr:wt.—Oa Tuesday, 19th
inst., complaint was made at the Blue Front

Chief's ordinary one-wheeled cnnv'yance
being too small fur the accommodation of
both passengers a wagon was procured, and
the "vessels" carted to the cellar, where
they were deposited for resuscitation pre-'
%ions to a hearing before 'Squire Welsh.
They were allowed a couple of hours for
partial recovery, when a deputy was dis
patched with the prison ran to further
transport the bodies to the Temple of Jus
tice. Mrs. C. was tenderly removed to the
wagon, hut the O'Flavin, a crowing and
fightinghen, elected to remain, and pitched
into the officer with a fair promise of ulti
mate victory, bat was headed off by some of
the bystanders and prevailed upon to sub
mit. The prisoners were safely dumped at
the Blue Front. They are both Greeks, and
O'F. had but recently emerged from tempo
rary obscurity, having suffered incarcera
tion nt the Lands of Justice Welsh some
months ago, as duly chronicled in the Spy.
Mrs. Culbert it seems became tenant of the
Illet.ltlngf , pertaining to Perry flod, a very
respectable colored landlokler, on the im
prisonment of that unfortunate man for be
ing whipped by the Rev. Levi Taylor, and
opened it as a house of call, with entertain.
ment for man and beast. in the latter ea
pacity Mrs. O'Flavin became a temporary
inmate of the Culbert pause, and thus ac
counts fur the joint revel of herself and her
hostess.
"Yc Ben, 'Slay:ire. jist afore Pat McCiianis

why shouldn't Mrs. Culbert—a respietable
woman, yer Honor, as there is in the town
—and znesilf drink good luck to Patrick

His Honor held that the moderato calling
of healths was permissible and not detri
mental to the good order of society, but re
peated toasting of one individual was
against the statute in that case made and
provided, so he sentenced Mrs. O'Flavin, as
an incorrigible offender, to 90 days.—
Mrs. Culbert got 30 days, and her child,
three years old, was sent to the poor home.
They went down by the overland route.
LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION ON TUE ABOVE
ESTATE.—After the arrest of the above offen
ders Richard was directed to close and se
cure the premises with a view to the pro
tection of Mrs. Culvert's personals. Arriv
ing at the property, the lligh Constable
found a free fight going on for the spoils,
and arrested Perry Hood and Mrs. Smith,
whom he conveyed to the Blue Front. Mrs.
Smith assumed that she was the legal rep
resentative of the Into Mrs. C., who had
empowered her to look after her interests.
Perry claimed possession of the Culvert
leavings for arrearages of rent. The two
had proceeded amicably in their inventory
of the effects of the dear departed until they
came upon a jug of the veritable McGinnis,
in a cupboard. The introduction of this
Milesinn element occasioned strife, and the
parties were arrested when about to join
issue. Both appeared to be under the Mc-
Ginnis influence, and were voluble in sup
port of their respective rights. The 'Squire
opened with a rebuke to Perry for renting
his property as a disreputable groggery.
Hood plead not “N,tv look yore,
'Squish! dot woman went an' stal,lished

—not dat I ought to bin in jail; you know

break for Perry, who retreated behind the
Magistrate and appealed to his protection.
"You's not goin' to set dar nn' see dot
wench beat me in dis office right afore yo'
eyes, is you now 'Squish?" The 'Squire
interfered and commanded the pence. He
ruled that as Perry bad enjoyed but a brief
spirt of liberty he would not send him
down this time, but warned him against in.
dnlgence in McGinnis, as he valued his
personal freedom. Mrs. Smith having
acted under authority from Mrs. Culbert
was also:discharged with a fellow adumni

DIED F 12031 EXPOSURE AND WIIIS6:Y.-011
Thursday afternoon last as Mr. Jacob N.
Metzgar of Millersville, was driving along
the road leading from the Manor to the Col
umbia turnpike, about three miles west of
this city, he discovered two dead bodies ly
ing in the road. They wore that of a man
and woman, and, apparently had been dead
but a shot t time. Ile immediately gave no
tice to the Deputy Coroner, Joseph Ditlow,
who summoned an inquest, repaired to the
spot where the bodies were, and proceeded
to investigale the matter.
The names of the man or woman were
unknown to all the witnesses examined, al
though several testified that they had seen
them in the neighborhood for several days
prior to their dead bodies being found. No
marks of violence were found upon either
body, which were lying ten or twelve feet
apart on the road; the man in a deep rut
and the woman across it. A camp kettle
was found near the bodies, in which there
was a quart fiask nearly half full of whis
key. Dr. A. J. Carpenter made a post !nor
tem examination, which elicited the fact
that the stomach of both man and woman
were entirely destitute of food. They were
entirely empty, showing that nothing in
the shape of food had been eaten fur several
days. The woman appeared to be about
forty years of age and the man upwards of
fifty. They were worthless vagrants of the
lowest class, living upon whiskey, from the
effects of which nod exposure to the great
heat of Thursday they died.
One of the witnesses before the Coroner's
inquest stated that on the morning of
Thur,day he saw a young man sitting by
the side of the woman and the old man ly
ing on the road side. This fact added to
several other circumstances, led to the ar
rest of three men named John Megilla,
Frederick Fisher and Henry Groll, stran
gers, who were found loitering about near
where the bodies were found. They were
c 'omitted to the county prison. Subse
quently Doctor Carpenter made a more mi
nute examination of the bodies and stom
achs of the parties, which fully established
the fact that they died from intemperance
and exposure. The Coroner's jury rendered
a verdict to the sumo effect, and on Monday
Mayor Sanderson di. , charged the persons
who had been arrested on suspicion of hay
ing been concerned in their death.
We cannot conclude our notice of this
sad affair, without making mention of the
honorable and humane conduct of Mr. Metz
ger. When others refused to aid in inves
tigating the matter or of disposing of the
bodies, ho voluntarily gave the Coroner all
the aid he required, and had the bodies
taken to the poor house ground for inter
ment, at his own expense.—Examiner, July
20th.

his acquaintances as a concocter of puns and
the utterer of dry jokes. He is a boyish.
looking youth, and officiates, when his ser
vices are required behind the soda fountain.
A few mornings Finn, a fashionably dressed,
poetical-looking young gentleman entered,
and seating himself on a stool in front of the
counter, in a choice selection of terms re
quested the clerk to prepare him a seidlitz
powder. The following conversation, ridic
ulous in its earnestness, resulted:
Clerk—With syrup?
Customer—(slowly and methodically)—l
require it not as a refreshment. If the syr
up vitiate not the effect of the compound,
you may mingle with it such an amount of
the substance as will render the potation
palatable. Or, to be better understood—
Clerk —( Interrupting)—l com prebend you
perfectly. Permit me to assure you that the
tendency of the syrup will be rather to en
hance than diminish the purgative virtues
of the drug.
Customer—(lndignant nt observing that
Iris style is affected by the other)--Then pro
ceed, miracle of medical literature and wis
dom!
Clerk—With dispatch, confounder of foole.
Customer—Then, if not etruck motionless,
use haste.
All this was so quietly; so politely said,
that, although amused beyond expression at
the conversation, I stared in wonder at the
plrties. The clerk evidently felt cut at the
the last remark of the other, but mixed the
powder, which the stranger triumphantly
swallowed, paid for, and started to leave the
store, when—
Clerk--Should you feel any uneasiness in
the region of the stomach within the period
of fifteen minutes, illustrious patron, attri
bute the cause to the accidental introduc
tion into the draught you have just taken • f
some drug of vigorous effect and painful
consequence.
Ctintonter—(A trifle frightened)—lf I do,
d—n you, I'll punch your heady
Clerk—l,thought I'd bring you down to
plain English; hut I gue*2 you'll find the
powder all right.—Exii customer, with coat

Z -Twenty d•,llars reward will be paid
for any information relative to the where
abouts of FrtAxxi.ttv BAIR, or for the re.
eovery of his body. He was last seen on
hoard a canal bout, lying in the basin at
Wrightsville, Pa., on the night of the 25th
ult.; and it is supposed he fell off into the
bnsin and was drowned. He was about 25
years of age, and 5 feet 8 inches high. Any
information that will lead to a knowledge
of his whet enbouts, or the recovery of his
body will be received by Wrn. McConkey,
Wrightsville, or John Bair, Hanover, who
will pny the above reward.
OMiss Tulip, in speaking of Old Bache
lors, says that they are frozen old gardeners

as weeds, they should be served in the same
manner—choked.

EPILEPSY, OA FALLING FITS.
We believe we cannot do our readers a more
important service, than by again calling their
attention to that most remarkable preparation,
discovered by Dr. Seth S. Hance, ofißaltimore,
Md., which possesses the power of alleviating
and curing that horrid visitation of man—
Epilepsy, or Fits. In recommending
this preparation to our readers, we do so with
a conviction that we are not degrading our
columns to puff a common ,patent medicine,
but are placing before them a discovery,
which, if fully known, would probably do
more to alleviate human suffering, than any
invention of modern times. Dr. Hance, in
asking us to notice his preparation favorably
in our editorial department, has sent us for
perusal a number of letters from persons who
have used his pills . , and have been cured there
by. All of them speak in the most grateful
and eulogistic terms. One great advantage
this medicine possesses is the fact, that it
can be transported through the mails, thereby
affording every one an opportunity of dealing
directly with the inventor, and also preclu
ding all possibility of being imposed on •by a
counterfeit or spurious imitation. Dr. Hance
pays the postage on his Pills to any part of the
country, and will forward them by the return
of mail, on the receipt of a remittance. His
prices are as follows: One box, $3; two do.,
$5; twelve do., $2l. All orders for the medi
cine should be addressdd to to Saris S. BA.NCE,
