the body paraded with the fifty uniformed
men. The list contains some one hundred
and fifty names, and when the entire corps
obtain their equipments we may expect a
general turn out. The uniforms are drab
oilcloth caps and capes, and Gael, man car
ries a torch. The light dress shows to great
advantage at night, and under the glare of
the torches presents a striking appearance.
When the club is completely drilled and
turns out in a body the display will be ad

ercises.incident to tie Counneneement of the
Fall session of the Washingtcin Institute,
under itii new Prinoipal,.Rev A. Essick.,-
Apart.ftem.,the interesting nature of the
exercises, the occasion is one' which should,.
for the sake of the future of the school=so
important to the welfare of our town—
call out a general attendance of parents and
children. Nothing so essentially contributes
to the character of a town for general intel
ligence, as the location within its borders
of a first class institution of learning. We
already have the necessary school-building,
and we can, if we will, secure the school.—
To do this requires more than the entering
of pupils at the institution; parents must
evince an anxious interest in the progress
of those children, and the manner of their
advancement, to the extent deemed permis
sible by the teacher. The public exercises
must be attended by parents and citizens
generally, and every opportunity afforded
by the Principal fur an exhibition of public
interest in the working and progress of the
school must be taken advantage of, and not
discouraged byeold neglect on the part of
parents and friends as heretofore. The ex
orcises of next Friday evening will we hope,
attract such attendance as shall* show a dis
position on the part of Columbians to en
courage the Institute, and givo promise of
future attention to the subject of good edu
cation at home.
TEMPERANCE MASS MEETING.—WO would
call especial notice to the Temperance Mass
Meeting advertised to come oft to-tlay at
Blush's Woods near Xlountville. It will
doubtless be very largely attended from the
neighborhood, and from all the towns in
this section of the oounty. Professor Gad
dis, of Cincinnati, who will be one of the
speakers, has a reputation as a temperance
orator scarcely inferior to that of John B.
Gough. We hope our citizens will bear in
mind tho opportunity they will have of
hearing Professor Caddis and the other
speakers of the Mountville meeting, this
(Saturday) evening, at the Odd Fellows'
l all, Columbia. It will be en interesting
occasion, and evory one who wishes to list

A a lt E 9 I r --The Harrisburg nion of
Monday says: Officer Becker started for
Lancaster haiing in charge, in iroaq,
couple of black burglars named Henry Cor
nish and John, alias, Bucky Shultze, alias
W. W. P'atterson. These fellows are wan
ted in Lancaster to answer fur a burglary
committed on it dry goods and clothing store
in Columbia in Alareh last. it appears that
immediately af'er completing the job in Cu'
linable, those "craksmen" came to this
place, where they were joined by Thomas
Dorsey and Peter Smith, and the party went
into a system of wholesale plundering.—
Their depredations were carried on skill
fully, and for a long time escaped detection
—but "the pitcher that goes often to the
well is broken at last." They were all ar
rested and committed to April.—
About the time of their commitment, the
Columbia burglary was traced to Shultze
and Cornish, and Lancaster county having
"the age" on us, these chaps will have the
felicity of being sentenced by Judge hong,
and afterwards Judge Pearson. if the Pros
ecuting Attorney of this county insists on
having his turn out of them.
In any event it is to be hoped that the
chastening and reformatory institution
known as the Eastern Penitentiary may cul
tivate their acquaintance and its ponderous
iron doors be closed upon them for many a
long day. The community will manage to
get along without them.

"sage occurs, which illustrates one of the
singular phases of social life on the Pacific:
"Half-dimes, three-cent pieces, coppers
and nickels and unknown to our commerce,
and are almost unknown in our mint, al
though a few half-dimes were once issued,
to the great indignation of some people, who
consider thorn a dangerous innovation, as
having a tendency to reduce the price of
labor and the profits of trade."

THIODOWEI MvsEITM.OP - ART.—On the• au
thority of several' gentlemen who had wit.
nested the exhibitioaof this unrivalled work
of art in other cities, we promised. that the
citizens of Lancaster would sae something
far superiex to anything in• the exhibition
line which had ever been presented this
city. It is gratifying for us to know• that
in all Jour prospective praise, we did not ex
aggerate. What was seen at Fulton Hall
last evening, and will be seen every even
ing next week, cannot be exnggerated.—
We are pleased also to see unerring indica
tions that so fine a work of art, one in which
so much time, labor and money have been
invested, not only by the ingenious projec
tor and proprietor, but by the enterprising
lessees of this city, will meet with that sub
stantial appreciation front our citizens which
will justify them in continuing its exhibition
here fur some time.
The opening last night may be written a
complete success. The audience was large
and embraced a large number or those who
can appreciate the mechanic arts in their
highest development; and yet we di'd not
meet with any ono in the audience who was
not only pleased and delighted, but really
astonished. The programme gives nothing
like an adequate idea of the various scenes
in the exhibition. To see the rocky coasts
of Gil ralter, with its harbor covered - with
shipping, the sails spread, and the vessels
moving gracefully through the undulating
ocean, a war steamer heroically breasting
the waves, the smoke issuing from het fun
nel, minature marines now and then firing
a salute, the boom of the cannon folloming
at a proper interval upon the vivid flash, is
a mechanical result well calculated to tax
the credulity of any one who has never seen
it. And yet this is but one of a hundred - of
the mechanical marvels which constitute
the programme of the evening. If possible
the "Storm at Sea" is more sublimely beau
tiful. The clouds lower, the billows roll
and dash upon the beset, a light house op
pears in the distance, the lightnings flush
and the thunders roll, the noble ship labors
and strains through the storm, untill struck
by lightning, she reels like a drunken man
and goes down—automaton men sink and
rise, the wreckers, from an overhanging eilff
come to the rescue, a rope is thrown and
the last man is hauled up to shore in safety;
the storm subsides, the light from a clear
sky aswares the light of the light-house,
and the angry ocean is seen to subside as
naturally as we have seen it at Gape or
long
The Automaton, Rope-Vaulter, is withal,
the great feature of the prograMine, and
may wolf be lined in the bills as the "Won
der of the World'"—but we must pay our
respects to this interesting little fellow on
another occasion—merely remarking that it
is hard to conceive why he has not brains,
and muscles and nerves, like Blondin
self—seeing that he has got more sense
th in the daring Frenchmen.
Must persons supposed that the figures in
this exhibition would merely move not walk;
but the walking is the wonder of the mech
anism. In the view of Rome, a "fine old
English gentleman" lifts his pedals with.the
measured dignity of Johnny Bull; Brother
Jonathan slides along like a New York note
shaver on his way to Wall Street; while
la lies vipeously ply their fans, beggars take
off their hats and ask for alms, and the don
key illustrates his character by stubbornly
moving backwards under the spur of his
rideth Altogether the like of this was never
s:en by our citizens, and if any one says it
is not worth "a q barter,'' we will set him
d Avn as the second curiosity.
The lessees were pressed for time to get
ready for the exhihition last night, and the
carpenters could get only one stairway com
pleted. This evening there will be another
on the south side of the flail, tehen the au
dience will have greator facility for entrance
and exit. Th 3 arrangement for ventil.•ttion
will also be improved, and several other
comforts for the audionoo attended tn.
We are pleasel to no•ice that the lessees
have taken tho precautions to exclude till
improper characters from the Hall, and if
any should elude the vigilance of the door
keeper they will be promptly ejected.—

IMPORTtNT DLSCoV ERY IN PH OTOGRA PHY.
—The monthly meeting; of the American
Photographicil S iciety, in New York, on
M Ind iy, was made specially interesting
front the presentation of a minute descrip
tion of the new apparatus of Mr. Fontagne,
of Cincinnati, by which copies of photo
graphs can be multiplied indefinitely and
with wonderful rapidity. It was stated that
miniature photographs had been printed at
the muonishing speed of two hundred a
minute, or 12,000 an hour, from one nega-
tivo. Tho means by which this is acoom
pli.he,l is the adaptation of machinery to
the process of printing by development.—
Prints so produced, are conceded to have
the advantage in permanency over the or
dinary print, produced by the direct action
of light. The negative is fixed in a box,
together within sheet of prepared paper, and
the latter exposed by automatic machinery,
to the condensed light of the sun passing
through the negative. The time of expo
sure at the above rate of speed was but .03
of a second for each impression. The con
densing lens being seven inches in diameter,
and the circle of condensed light about cue
and a half inches, the above exposure is
equal to .G 5 01 a second direct exposure to
the light of the sun. If, therefore, the ma
chine wore to be used for a large Glass of
pictures, such as hook illustrations, a con
densing lens might be dispensed with, and
yet nearly 2500 impressions be taken in an
hour.
The importance of this discovery cannot
be over es timated. For the purpose of book
illustrations alone tho new process will
prove invalualide, for the number of impres
sions capable of being produced in nny
given time are far beyond the ordinary ma
nipulations of lithography or plate printing.

An Exciting• Scene.
In 1835, the• late Col. Creecy made• an
equestrian cruise through the wilds of Missis
sippi, in search of goodlande and a pleasant
location.. During this cruise, the Colonel
witnessed some rather frightful and many
very Indierous scenes. On one occasion, he
found himself, at oight,in crude log cabin,
in oompany with thirty or-more rollicking
gatiblers, who were on their way to a horse
race. In this mere shell of a cabin, there
was only ono bed, and that occupied by. a
sick woman. In the work recently published
by the widow of (Jul. Creecy, the doings of
the night are thus described by him:
Setae of thopasty early went into the shed,
with. their overcoats and horse-blankets,
where they endeavored to rest or sleep; but
the majority, having a fair supply of whis
ky, resolved to "keep. it op"' all night, and
nearly filled the room in which the fire was
burning brightly, being kept well supplied
with wood during the whole night. A small
'table stood on the floor, at which floe. of the
"blessed and unterrified Democracy" of the
Union took seats to play poker. I had often
heard' the game mentioned, bat bad no idea
of it, except that it was a gambling game,
played with cards.
They had not long been, at the table when
a violent quarrel took place. The words
used were so particularly infamous and
blasphemous that I involuntarily looked
round; and at that instant Isaw a man snatch
or grub a handful of bank notes front the
table with one hand, and a pistol near hint
with the other; and then I noticed several
other pistols and bowie•knives on the ruble.
The man nearest me sprang from his seat,
caught ur a stick orpiece wood —more like a
stave than. anything else—which was lean
ing against tho side of the chimney or fire
place just before me, and, as quick as
thought,. turned and raised it, evidently de
termine& to strike someone of the gambling
party. I involuntarily rose instantly, caught
him by the• shoulders in front. and pressed
him with• all my strength against the chim
ney, so as to prevent him from striking. but
looked him kindly is the eyes, and beseech
ed him to detest. Ile spoke- not, but gave
me a look I can never describe or forget.—
I, however, held him firmly, though several
land voices exclaimed:
"Let him go, sir! Let him strike-!"
And simultaneomsly I heard the clicking
of several pistols as they were cocked. My
back was to the table. I looked round, and
there were certainly six or seven pistols
pointed at me and the man against the•wall,
and as many bowie•knives glittering in the
fire-light—making, altogether, a display, a
scene I shall never forget, and Dever desire
to witness again.
I spoke to them ng mildly as I possibly
could, entreating them to put up. their
weapons. At that moment a voice ex
claimed
"Stranger r Let him go, and stand aside,
or you'll be shot !"
"I quietly replied:
"I will not let him go while he bolds the
stick; and if on shoot him now, you must
shoot hho through me."
The fellow dropped the stick, and' the only
elderly man present straightened himself up.
and said, loud enough to he heard above all
the "noise and confusion:"
"Shut up, boys—end this fans ; the
stranger ain't acquainted with our ways—
he means good ; stop it all, and drink,
friends.'
There was a little hesitation—hilenee—
when one of the gamblers put up his wea

"It's all right; let it go. Jim was cheated
when he intended to cheat. It was a fair

drink."
The old man worked hir.. way to me as d
offered his hand. which T took, as a tall
young man came up, with some raw whisky
in two glasses, and said:
"Item stranger, you and father take a
drink, and we'll be friend=."
'That liquor has always been my particular
aversion, and I endeavored to beg off—told
him 3 could not drink it; that it wonld make
me sick. Ile looked astounded, and the old
man came to the rescue, shying:
"Don't insist an the stranger's drinking.

And then turning to me, said:
"Just touch your lips to the gloss; and
say, "Let's all be friends;" that will satisfy
all 'em ."
I did so, and that scene was closed
A s:EIIBARRA.SING MISTAKE.-Au Englisb.,
man who could not speak good German, was
riding, a few weeks ago, on the railroad
from Dresden to Leipsic, when he asked as
well as be could, how long it took to go
through the tunnel. The person be spoke
to thought he said how long before the tun
nel would be reached, and so he answered,
"In half an hour." When they approached
the place, the Englishman threw down his
carpet bag and pulled of his coat. In a
few moments all were enveloped in the
darkness of the tunnel. After some ten
minutes a streak of light appeared, and the
ladies, oppressed by the heavy atmosphere,
seemed impatient to be again in pure air.—
Soon the full light onnse—every one took a
long breath—when suddenly the ladies gave
a simultaneous shriek and pulled their veils
over their faces, to hide them from the
disastrous condition of the Englishman.—
The poor man thought the passage through
the tunnel would take thirty minutes, and
had been surprises: by returning light in
the midst of his toilet, which he had not
been able to make at Dresden, and for
which he theft ht he would take the ad
vantage of the supposed half hour's dark
ness.

The other Suuday, an eminent divine was
preaching upon the parable of Dives and
Lazarus. and when hp arrived ut the point
where, in great hem, Dives lifted up his

said, “To this apparently reasonable, but,
under the circumstances, totally inadmis

DIA9oNro ex. PABTE.—There• Bee been
much talk.in Paris fora few days past of an
Adventure of a Russian who le - very rich,
and has great passion. for diamonds. Atb a
house to. which be was 'introduced, he saw
one evening seated. at a. card table a young
:man very elegantly dreesedf„-nail having on
!his-finger a superb•diamond ring,. which, as
'he-handled the cards, reflected the- light very
brilliantay in. every direction. The diamorid
naturally attracted the attention of the
Russian, who asked perrniseion to examine
'it. He looked at it, tried it on, and became
so, enamored with it that he offered. to pur
chase. The young man declined on the .
ground of fitmily associations, which made
him_unwrilrag. to part with it. A large sum
was offered, but again declined. The Rus
sian still persisted. At length the young
man told him that if there were no other
reason, he could not think of selling it as it
was not a genuine diamond. Astonishment
succeeded admiration in the mind of the
Russian, and he. asked the loan of it for a
single day. Consent was courteously given,
!and ho took the ring to. his jeweller, who
pronounced it a diamond of the first water.
Ile sought again the young min.
"Monsieur," he said to him, "I return
you your ring; here it is; but I am still very
anxious to purchase it. I ought to. tell you,
however, that my jeweller pronounces it a
genuine diamond.. I offer you six thousand
francs."
"Your jeweller is mistaken. I eitnnot
accept six thousand francs for what I know
to be a mere bit of glass."
"But if I want the bit of glass?"
"Still I am nut willing to cheat you.,"
"But I insist on being cheated."
"Very well; you may hare your wish, on
one condition, that you will sigh a paper
oaying, that of your own free will, you gave
six thousand francs for what I assure you is
only a morsel of glass."
The paper was readily signed, the ring
given up, and the Russian went off trium
pliant. A few days afterward meeting his
jeweller, he showed him exultingly, his new
purchase. The jeweller glanced at it; then
examined it more closely.
"This time," he• remarked, quietly, "it is
paste."
The ring, undoubtedly, had. been adroitly
exchanged at the moment of delivery, but
the paper the Russian had signed left him,
of course, without any legal remedy.—Home

VERDANCY.—Knox went down to the
Court house yesterday, to raise some money
by mortgaging some property. In respuse
to an inquiry as to whether there was any
mortgage an his property, he said no, hut
upon referring to the books, it was found
that a mortgage was entered on all his im
plements.
"For de Lord, Master Brodbeelt, I neber
put 'cm dar!"
"But bow comes your name-to be signed
to the instrument?"
"Wall, I duzzent know nuffin about it,
only dat I len Masser Call one hundred dol
lars two years ago, and he make-: me sine
dat ar paper to secure wat ho owed me!"
And this is apparently the ease. Kno:,
lent a man a hundred dollars, and then ex
seated a Mortgage on his own property to
secure the debt. G.md for Kuox—he eau

A TLIORX roe THE ROSE.—At the late Wo
man's Rights Convention, an argument, de
cidedly couleur dc Rose, was advanced to
prove that the "oppressed ses" (this is
probably an allusion to the female element
of our population,) had the right of taking
part in elections and of serving on juries.—
Perhaps Mrs. Ernestine L. forgot that ju
rors are compelled to sit fur hours, and
sometimes days together without speaking
a word!
VES„Talking of language, the other day,
in a company of scholarly folks at Saratoga,
a gertleman remarked that many illiterate
people ettetupt to give their conversation a
grammatical sound by putting one or more
superfluous "whiches" into their sentences.
"That is," said S., a tall Vermonter of our
acquaintance, "liked fivers other poor people,
they lean upon their relatives:"
par Whatever is voted on in a female
convention probably either carried or de
feated by a hands me majority.
