Eeane smiled; he was surprised to hear
a sensible speech from this volatile little

riously.
'•Say, rather, Miss Morton, that those to

many excuses made. Where the brain pre

raipid thought, there will the sensibilities be
proportionately acute, and the solar plexus

Miss Fay was quiet for a minute, then
she flashed her mischievous eye on him.
"Certainly; but then, by your own ad

VS,..A correspondent of the London New F,
writing from Meisina, tell the following
anecdote :
"While I am writing I can see Garibaldi,
who arrived here this morning at 4 o'clock,
walking up and down thc deck of tho City
r.f Aberdeen, one of the Sicilian steamers
lying in this harbor, following through his
glass the movements of the enemy. There
is an amusing story current here, which I
give y u, without, however, vouching for its I
correctness. You arc, perhaps, aware that !
the „It eat fishery of the peace-spade, or sword-
fish, affirds occupation to tl.e fishermen who
live in the villages and hamlets scattered
along about the covet from Messina to Faro
Point, as well as on the opposite one of !
Calabria. This fishery is perforated in the!
most ingenious manner. A man ascends al
long pole which rises in the centre of the
boat, and when be sees the sword fish pass
ing through tho current he makes the rowers
row en that direction, and the man at the
stern; who is armed with a long and sharp
pike, if fortunate enough. spikes the fish.—
Well, ono day Garibaldi disappeared for
two hours, and it is stated that having dis
guised himself as a fisherman, he went so
near to the opposite shore that from the pole
be was able to recennoiter an the fortified
points of the Neopolitan coast. True or not,
this story forms the subject of all conversa
tions in the camp, and causes a great deal
of merriment among the noble fellows en
camped under ascorching sun on the sandy
beach yonder."
Ifer.lt Pecan a wonder that all the peril
tentiwrim in the country don't become bank
rupt, for none of them ever get ateath part
of their dues.

OPENING EXERCISES OF WASHINGTON IN
STITUTE.—On Friday evening of last week,
as previously announced, exercises prelimi
nary to the opening of lVashington Insti
tute, consisting in addresses, &c., took place
at Odd Fellows' Hall. The hall was com
pletely filled, and earnest interest was shown
by the citizens !resent.
The exercises opened with prayer by Rev.
J. S. Grimes. Music by the Columbia Mu
sical Society followed.
Mr. North spoke briefly. touching upon
the responsible interest felt by the Directors
of the Institute in the selection of a Princi
pal; the advantages to the town of a first
rate educational establishment; the ample
material in the eight hundred scholars who
attend our public schools from which to
draw a liberal support to the Institute; the
necessity of the thorough education of the
generation which is to replace the present
"elders" of the town, in order to keep it up
I to the daily ascending standard of general
intelligence; the progress made in the corn
non school system of our state, especially
in Lancastercounty which exce!s in the char
acter of its graded schools; In
concluding Mr. North introduced Rev. A.
Essick.
i Mr. Essick then delivered an address
I which we shall not attempt to report even
in abstract. The subject of course was
•'E.lucatian," and the speaker treated it
fully, ably and to the satisfaction and de
light of his audience. The new Principal
showed himself thoroughly acquainted with
hie profession in its most profound theories
as well as its most utilitarian practise. His
address proved him a scholar, and his hear
ers drew the unavoidable inference that he
was also It teacher. Mr. Essick has every
reason to congratulate himself that the first
impression, so important an element to suc
cess, has been as eminently favorable as he
could wish.
On the cnnclusion of Mr. Essick's address
Rev. Mr. Grimes made a few appropriate
remarks, and the exercises concluded with
music.
The Institute opened on Monday, and wo
believe with flattering promises of success.
We hope to see it ere long firmly estab
lished as a thriving Columbia school.
CAMP PATTERSON.—This encampment at
York has been the rage of the week. On
Monday the Philadelphia 0 rays passed ,
through Columbia and paraded through one
nr two of our streets. They were received
I by Col. Ilerr end escorted to the Washing.
tun louse where they were entertained by
him. On Tuesday the Jackson Rides and
Fencibles, of Lancaster, arrived here. They
also were received by Col. Herr end escorted
to the Washington House. They were
joined at this place by the Maytown In.
fantry. The camp at York consists of sev
enteen companies, not so many as were ex
pected. The review on Thursday drew to•
getber an immense crowd of visitors, and
York was probably never so overrun with
strangers. -The encampment will break - up
today, when we may expect the returning
military to pass through our town.
READING AND COLUMBIA. Rutaman.—Mr.
Fisher, Assistant,Engineer of the„lteading
and Columbia Railroad has been =engaged
during part of this week in running a line
from Chestnut Hill to Colombia: With an
improvised party he has run a grade line
from the summit, keeping to the South of
the former survey and connecting with the
Rolling Mill Railroad. The summit' was
found very broad and a formidable cut will
be required. In connection wlth the subject
we copy the following from the correspon
dence of "Gaunt:Lan" with the Philadel
phia Peva:
With a short railroad parag raph I will
conclude. Some of your read ers may nut
be aware'that New 'fork has another pro
ject on foot, and un the eve of consummation,
for tapping the Southern trade. As to
whether this will be-at the expense of ?bile
, delphia there is room fur conjecture. I
allude to the contemplated Foal from Co
lumbia to Reading, to be called the Reading
and Colombia Railroad. The bill authoriz
ing the construe ion of this road, it will be
remembered, was passed in 1837. The
route has been surveyed, the estimates for
building it made. and frura most of the
parties whose lands arc intersected by it. re
leases have already been obtained, which is
understood as indicative that the people
through the region along the line are deeply
interested in thl enterprise. That New
York feels herself pecuniarily interested in
it is proved by her offer to subscribe tleee
fourths of the costof the road (which is esti
mated at one million dollars,) conditionally
that the remaining one fourth, or two hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars shall be sub
scribed by residents along the route. Of
this sum, two hundred and twenty-five thou
sand dollars are already secured, su that the
only thing required to commence operations
is the subscription of the remaining twenty
five thousand dollars which it is expected
will soon be obtained. When completed
New York will have a direct communiention
with Baltimore, without a single change of
cars, over the following roods, beginning nt
Baltimore : The Northern Central, to York
and Columbia; Reading and Columbia, to
Readine-; East Pennsylvania, to Allentown;
Lehigh 'Valley road, to Philipsburg, and
thence by the New Jersey Central road to
New York. The length of the contemplated
new road will be forty-three miles, and will
pass through one of the finest regions in
EAsterit Pennsylvania. When completed.
passengers for Ephrata Mountain Springs
will be landed within a five minutes' walk
or the hotel, and thus avoid the only objec
tionable feature now experienced in coming
here—namely, the staging from Lancaster
or Reading, thirteen nod a half miles from
the former, or eighteen miles, by a better
road, from the latter.
We find the following under the tele
graphic head in the Philadelphia Press of
Friday :
READING, September G.—The contract for
the building of the Reading and Celumbin
Railroad was this day awarded to James
Moore & Co., of Now York.
GREAT BALIOON AICESSION.—For the past
week our town has been kept in excitement,
anxiously anticipating the ascension of
Professor Wilson in his balloon. According
to advertisement the Professor rondo an at
tempt on Saturday to get off the promised
ascension, from the yard of the Lamb Tar
ern, but was unable to inflate his balloon
from the connection with the gas main in
the street. \Vhen p trtially fille I the balloon
was carried up Locust street and attached
to the maio opposite the Presbyterian
Church. Nu better success attended the
effort here, and it was soon discovered that
considerable damage had been sustained by
the vessel in its transit, supposed. to be
caused by collissoa with an ore wag m.—
The ascension was accordingly postponed
until Tuesday of this week. On the after
noon of Tuesday the balloon was taken to
the gas works, and there attached to the
main. The inflation progressed very slowly
and when the gasometer was nearly exhaus•
ted the balloon was scarcely half filled.—
The Professor resolved to attempt an ascen
sion with the supply of gas he had taken in,
and an effort was made to convey the half
inflated monster up Front street to the
Green Tree Hotel, whence the Start was to
have been made; but the machine was found
unmanageable and swayed about so with
the wind di r at it was resolved that the Aero
nant should go up from the road opposite
the G. 14 works.
The basket was attached and everything
put in order, when a sudden pitch of the
loon threw it against a fence and a large
rent was discovered in the ne3k. The Pro
fessor WA, willing to delay his departure to
repair damages, but the crowd commenced
to bout "ilumbug!" and make other com
plimentary applic.ttions. The Aeronaut to
eh av that he was in earnest and not afraid,
thereupqm detatched the basket, improvised
a seat with n trntr.l stick and gave the word
t.) let gt. If r 511101 off, cheered by the
people, without a VA veto his b tl loon. trusting
to the rent in the cloth to briag him down
in due season. The material of the balloon
is very heavy, and the limited supply of gas
only carried it ab rut a thousand feet mu) the
air, at which height the diving voyager
dangled at the end of the ropes, looking
like a fly in a spider's web. The balloon
sailed slowly over the town in a northerly
direction, and decended on Chestnut Hill,
back of H. Wieler's. The Professor came
out of his adventure unscathed, but his ma
chine suffered some damsge from collision
with the tree which stopped its headway.—
Before his ascension the Aeronaut was de
cidedly below par, but afterward there were
none but good words for him.
In making the attachment at the Gee
AVorks, the Soperintendent, Mr. S. DelCegre,
was overcome by inhaling the gee. and was
carried home in a helpless condition. Ile
has entirely recovered since.
Seamus ACCIDENT.—On Saturday after
noon, a serious if not fatal accident occurrent
near the village of Mountrille in West Hem p•
field township, the particulars of which
are thus detailed by a correspondent. On
Saturday morning after the breaking up of
a camp-meeting which was held near Mount
vile, Mr. Wm. Batten started for Mount
Joy, with a two•horse wagon, containing
tent-furniture, etc., and accompanied by
Mrs. Elizabeth Bowman, Miss Rebecca Nau
man and Miss Elizabeth Stehman, who were
on the wagon. When descending a steep
hill, Mr. Batten, who was driving attempted
to draw the brake, but missing his foothold,
was thrown from the wagon open the double.
tree, where - be struggled to extricate him.
self, but soon found the only way he could
de so was by letting himself drop to the
ground, which. le did, -and -;:an considerably
though not seriously hurt, ene of his in
juries being the dislocation of a. collar hone.
The horses of course started off at foil speed
down the hill, and the ladies were isa peril
ous position. Mrs. Bowman was thrown
out, near the foot , of the bill, where she was
found in an apparently lifeless-condition with
both arms broken and her bead mach con
tused. Miss Nauman was thrown into a
deep gutter, and when taken up presented a
shocking spectacle, ker forehead being cat
and bruised, and her injuries such that her
recovery is considered hopeless. Miss Steh
man was bat slightly injured. She retained
her seat upon the wagon, until, by the
horses making a short turn, it was upset,
when she was thrown off.
The injured were removed to the residence
of Mr. Jacob 11. Hershey, close by, where
they received all possible care and attention.
Drs. Rohrer and Evans, of Mauntville, and
Dr. Williams, of Silver Spring, were soon in
attendance. On Sunday Mrs. Bowman was
removed to the house of a relative, Mr.
David Mumselman, about a half mile distant,
and Mr Batten to his home in Mt. Joy.—
Miss Nauman still remains at Mr. Hershey's
it being thought imprudent to remove her.

Toe LANGUAGES WITITOUT A MASTER.—
T. B. Peterson & Bro., 303 Chestnut street,
Philadelphia, send us •'French, German,
Spanish, Latin and Italian Without a Mas
ter," by A. H. Monteith. In this volume
is condensed instruction sufficient to enable
any person unacquainted with these lan
guages, to read, write and speak any or all
without the aid of a teacher, or any oral
instruction whatever, provided strict atten
tention shall be paid to the instructions laid
down in the work, andthat nothing shall be
passed over without a thorough investigation
of the subject it involves. The whole is
contained in twenty-seven easy lessons.—
The French is in six, Spanish is in four,
German is in six, Latin is in six, and the
Italian is in five.
The literary editor of the Philadelphia
Preis says of this work:
"Monteith's book, here before us, profes
ses to make any one of reasonable capacity
nod suitable industry, read, write and speak
five langoages (four of them living tongues)
without any assistance from a teacher. El
ihu Burrito's case shows how intellect and
the desire to learn, can make a man master
the principal dead and living languages.—
This hook, and a real desire to learn the
language, will enable a student to teach
himself French in an incredibly short time:
and so with the other languages. The
Messrs, Peterson confer a great benefit on
society by publishing this book."
We have received the work through Mes
srs. Saylor Sc. McDonald, at whose store it
may be bad, or copies may be had of the
publishers, free of postage, by remitting the
price by mail—one dollar nod twenty-five
cents.
Lancaster City and County
A series of sketches of the lending towns
of the State is being publi.hed in the Phil
adelphia Bulletin, prepared expressly fur
that paper. We copy the following s.ctch
of Lancaster and its surroundings:—
The population of the city at different pe
riods is thus stated: 1820. 6,663; 1830. 7.7
04; 1810; 8,417; 1850, 12,369; 1860. 17,642.
The increase is steady, the city gaining
ground at each census. But, the Bulletin
observes. that it wits not until the decade
from 1840 to 1850, that our Pennsylvania
cities and towns began to feel strongly the
influence of our internal improvement syn.
taro. From 1820 to 1840 the increase of
,L•mcaster was only 1754; while in the cor
responding period from 1840 to 1860, the
increase was 8,225, or a growth of 110 per
cent.
The population of the county of Lances.
ter was in 1840.84 202; 1850.93,844. The
census of 1860 has not been announced, but
considering the previous growth and prob
abilities of the case, we should scarcely bo
authorized in platting it lower than 120,000,
making it the third county in the State.*
Lancaster county was formed by separa
tion from Chester in 1729. The first white
inhabitants were Swiss Mennonites. who
were persecuted in Europe. They began
their settlement about 1710. Next came
Germans and German French—Palatines
and Wallons—from 1712 onwArds. From
1717 the Scotch Irish came in large num
bers. The population is mainly descended
from the German and Scotch-Irish settlers.
Among the earliest works of internal im•
provement in the Middle States was the
Lancaster turnpike from Philadelphia. It
was begun in 1792 and finished in two
years. In 1784 a stage coach ran from
• • The two more populous ore Philadelphia and &He

with two diverging branches at that point
to Harrisburg, and to Columbia—and from
thence to York and Baltimore—yet there
has not been Buff:Meat effort made by the
citizens to establish lateral branches. A
plan is now on foot to construct a railroad
from Reading to Columbia, making a short
route from New York to Baltimore.
Among the distinguished men from this
county are Lindley Murray, the gramma
rian; Dr. Ramsay, the historian; Professor
Barton, of the University of Pennsylvania,
and the 'world famous Ribert Fulton. The
Lancaster bar was qaite famous in former
times fur men of distinguished ability.
Lancaster was called after Lancashire in
England, it is said, by John Wright, one of
the early settlers, who came from that coun
ty. The English shire is very large, about
twice the size of the Pennsylvania county.
Its population in 1851 was 2,031,236. It is
not so fertile as our Lancaster, but contains
large quantities of coal, with some copper.
It includes no less places than blanches
ter and Liverpool. The borough of Lan
caster in England is quite overshadowed by
the emporiums of manufacture and com
merce. It contained in 1851. but 46,458
people. Its most interesting structure is
its castle, founded at the Conquest, on the
site of a Roman station renovated by John
of Gaunt, and now embracing within its
area, the court house, jail, and penitentiary.
Our Pennsylvania towns perpetuate the
names of the two great houses in England
which contended for the crown; and the
"roses" are very familiar ideas with their
inhabitants.
Our Pennsylvania 'Ancestor is almost
unrivalled in fertility, if we conmider both
present productivensss and the means of
perpetuating it The Susquehanna runs
along its border for 40 miles, and a number
of beautiful steams pass into it within the
limits of the county. Ofgrain, not less than
fire millions of bushels are annually pro
duced; there are not less than 200 mills.—
Iron ore is found in large quantities, and
of excellent quality. There are 290 churches,
and about 20,000 scholars in school. The
scenery is rich and beautiful; in agriculture
it is a model county.
The town was laid out in 1730; it was in
corporated as a borough in 1742. It was
the capitol of the State for thirteen years.
The sent of government was removed from
Philadelphia to Lancasterin 1799, and from
thence to Harrisburg in 1812.
Franklin College was established in Lan
easter in 1787. Marshal College was found
ed by the German Reformed Church in
1835. and established at Mercersburg, .in
Franklin county. Recently the two institu
tions have been united at Lancaster under
the title of Franklin and Marshall College.
The proirpects of the united institution are
good. Much attention is paid to German
literature, and with the usual character of
an American College an attempt is made to
introduce a portion of the German culture.
Tho character of the Pennsylvania Ger
mans and the best method of improvement
for them is not very well understood, espe
cially by persons living outside of the State.
They are not very susceptible to influences
from without them, especially if they come
to thorn in alien forms. Hence it is not
wise to attempt to force upon them our An
glo Saxon culture and modes of thought.—
This has been often essayed, and those who
have made the effort, being fulled, have
talked loudly and persistently of the stupid
ity of the Germans. The truth was, that
the operator failed to understand them.—
They have churches and a ministry in whom
they have confidence. They have a lan
gnage which they greatly love, which was
formerly under-rated, but which, under the
influence of better information, is now gen
erally known to he a copious, expressive
and noble form of speech. What they need
is to have a true German spirit infused into
their learning. The old settlers in Pennsyl
vania and their descendants—such as live
in Lancaster, Berks and York counties—are
an entirely different class from those who
have come over fur the last ten years. The
Comer were formed under orthodox influ
ences, and infidelity was almost unknown
among them. The latter have been formed
under the influence of the rationalism of
Germany—with what result we see. A re
action has commenced in Germany towards
orthodoxy, but not in time to prevent the
poisoning of one generation of the people at
least. if not more.
Germans, in a word, must be mainly in
fluenced by Germans. In addition to this,
indeed, there is a silent, quiet and pleasant
influence continually going on in Yennsyl •
vania by the amenities of neighborhood, and
of a thousand mutually kind offices, by in
termarriage, and by the almost unconscious
acquisition by absorption of Anglo Saxon
methods of thought and action. The less
purpose there is in this, the better and more
useful it is. It. is thus that the English lan
guage is superseding the German; thus our
admirable school system is working its ways
into the heat t of our German counties; thus
the modes of piety of the Ecglish churches
are gradually assimilated into the German
nature; thus a mutual social influence is
exerted in almost all our towns and villages.
It is an eminently substantial nature. The
two kinds of people which mainly make up •
Lancaster—the German and Sootoh Irish—
in addition to the English stock in Philadel
phia and in the southeastern counties, are
the elements that give its peculiar character
to Pennsylvania. This character is not
made up of "fast" or showy qualities.—
Pennsylvania is willing to be called plain
and slow. But all through its extent it is
ceaselessly industrious; its people are hon
est, and every good thing gains ground with
the steadiness of a perpetual law. By the
working of these qualities, Pennsylvania
has become the mend State in the Union;
and fur twenty years it has been gaining
upon the first State. We are entirely sat
isfied with its qualities; we would not ex
change them for any others, and strangers
will grow wiser by studying them, than by
sneering at them.

that apples bad been dropping to the earth
for 6,000 consecutive years nader the noses
of philosophers as well as fouls, before New
ton deduced the theory of gravitation from
the fall of a pippin. Is there anything ir
rational, then, in supposing that Thomas
Holloway, a man of deep research and strong
praotical intellect, may have discovered and
applied successfully the natural antidotes to
large prop)rtion of human diseases? Let it
be remembered that for many years this in
defatigable student, shrouded in the fumes
of his laboratory, was engaged in pharma
ceutical experiments, all directed to the
great object which he claims to have at
tained. Nature is a strict custodian of her
mysteries, and only discloses them when en
forced by indomitable energy and persever
ance. While the disciples of old and effete
medical theories were following the Lenten
track of routine, he struck out a new path,
and founded a new system of treatment.—
What has been the issue? Ask the world,
for nearly half its inhabitants have endorsed
his remedies. Besides the name that au
thenticates his Pills and Ointment, it may
be said that the broad seal of public appro
val is affixed to them, and that the certi&-
cate of their infallibility bears upon its
face every written language in existence.—
Simple facts are the only admissible testi
mony in a matter which involves health and
life—and the facts that go to establish the
properties of these preparations are over
whelming. Of the sufferers from dyspepsia,
liver complaint, debility, scrofula, and al
most every species of febrile, cutaneous and
glandular disorders—"a multitude that ne
man can number" have cordially approved
them. Surely, those who have recovered
under the operation of the medicines, are
the most competent judges of their virtues,
and we acquiesce without hesitation in their
decision.—Leeds "Mercury."

judicial penalties are still in force. A few
days ago one Hug, of Stanz, was convicted
by the Tribunal of Unterwald, for having,
when in a state of intoxication in a public
house employed offensive language respect
ing the Pope, and he was condemned to
twenty blows with a stick, to be adminis
tered in private, a fortnight's imprisonment
in the hospital, a week's retirement to be
passed in religious exercises in the monas
tery of the Capuchins, to occupy a separate
place at church for the space of two years,
and during that time to attend morning and
evening service and the class of catechism,
to be deprived for an indefinite period of
his civil rights, and finally to pay all the
costs.

His business merits the patronage of every lover of
his species. Private families who wish pure Wines
and Liquors for medical use should send their orders
direct to Mr. Wolfe, until every Apothecary in the
land make op their minds to discard the poisonous
star from their shelves, and replace it with Wolfe's
pure Wines and Liquors.
We understand Mr. Wolfe, for the accommodation
of small dealers In the country, puts up assorted
