TEE FmrenEn LumpEn for the new Ho
tel at Dowingtown, is being shipped from
Bachman it, Dehuff's Plaining mill, as fast
as possible. From the Chester county .Tour
nal we learn that a number of rooms are
already engaged for the season, and it is
supposed that long before the completion of
the great structure,its capacious apartments
will be secured by summer pleasure seek
ers. The scenery around the place is sur
passingly beautiful and the surrounding
country, together with its easy railroad ac
cess will make it a desirable and favorite
summer resort.
F 11.031 the facility with which it removes
grease spots from fabrics, benzine has come
to be regarded almost as a house-hold
in
dispensable. But few persons, however,
realize the explosive character or the dan
gers attending the careless handling of the
liquid. Being one of the most volatile and
inflammable products resulting from the
distillation of petroleum, it vaporizes with
great rapidity, so that the contents of a four
ounce vial, if overturned, would render the
air of a moderate sized room highly explo
sive.
DIED FRONI HIS IniumEs.—George Wol
ford, who lived in a small house in an al
ley between Cherry and Union and Second
and Third streets, died on Monday from
compression of the brain, caused by fall
ing from the steps of his door, head fore
most, upon a brick gutter, three or four
feet below, on Sunday morning. He bad
been working at one of the furnaces, and
was paid off on Saturday. He commenced
drinking, and was probably under the in
fluence of liquor when he fell. Several
inches of his scalp were torn loose.
TECE Swa.t,Lows.—lt will be well for our
citizens to enforce the following suggestion
of the Lancaster Intelligencer: We notice
that some thoughtless boys are in the habit
of throwing sticks and stones at the swal
lows as they go twittering and skimming
through the air but a few feet from the
ground. This should not be allowed. The
swallow feeds entirely on insects, and
one of the best little friends of the fruit
grower that lives. If the boys knew that
every swallow killed deprives somebody
of a good mess of fruit, perhaps they would
not so mercilessly use their clubs on them ;
and yet it is a fact that almost all our fruit
would be destroyed by caterpillars and
other insects if it were not that these are
destroyed by thousands by the swallows
and other insect iverous birds.
BoY Dnowx ED.—A sad case of drowning
occurred at the dam of Blotz's Saw mill,
near the schute, on Monday morning last.
about 9 o'clock. Evan Lester Shenk; aged
six years and-nine months, and a younger
brother aged about four years (children of
C. Shenk, who lives near the sawmill, and
works for Mr. Bletz,) went ,on the logs in
the mill dam to play. Evan slipped and
fell between two timber rafts, which were
about six feet apart. The youngest brother
screamed for help, which attracted sev
eral persons near by. Just as assistance
had arrived, and a person was about to
grasp him, the current which is very swift,
swept him under the timber.
The body was found soon after but life
was extinct. An inquest was held, and a
verdict rendered in accordance with the
above facts.
TAKE NOTICE.—At John Fondrich's, you
will get lioz. Michigan, or Star fine cut
chewing tobacco for 10 cts., when you
will pay 15 cts. for the same weight else
where.
PASTORAL GRANOES.—We understand
that the Rev. B. J. Douglass has resigned
the charge of St. Paul's church in this
borough. It is a. matter of regret with his en
tire congregation. There has been a steady
growth attendant upon his labors and he
leaves the church in a flourishing condition.
The church is well organized in its ap
pointments,and presents an unusually fine
field of work for a young man without a
family. The want of a Rectory has been
the main cause of the resignation of the
present Rector. We have learned further
that the Vestry have called the Rev. Geo.
IV. Kirkland a young man of fine promise,
who, it is to be hoped, will accept,and carry
on the work which opens so favorably for
the future.
Rev. Mr. Kirkland preached for the con
gregation on last Sabbath. He is a young
man of pleasant address, and possesses a
fluency and diction, rarely met with in one
so little accustomed to public speaking.
We are sorry to part with Mr. Douglass.
and in saying this, we no doubt express the
sentiments of the community as well as
of his parishioners. , Our acquaintance
with him does not extend over a long period
but is none the lesspleasant for that. His un
iform courtesy and kindness, his cheerful
greeting and his disinterested friendship for
the young in particular, have won for him
a strong feeling of love and esteem. Mr.
Douglass has our bast wishes for his happi
ness and success in whatever new field be
may be called to labor.
FAST RAILROADING.—The summer time
tables of the Pennsylvania Railroad make
some important changes is the running
time. The most important is that of the
last line, leaving at Philadelphia 12.30
noon and the corresponding train from
Pittsburg. This train stops nowhere be
tween the two cities except at Harrisburg,
Altoona and Gallitzin. The stoppage at
the latter place is in compliance with the
rule of the road, which requires every
train to stop there, on account of the heavy
mountain grade each side. 107 miles, is
made in throe hours and twenty minutes.
From Harrisburg to Altoona, 132 miles,
and from Gallitzin to Pittsburgh, 105 miles,
are the other long stretches, and the time
on them is correspondingly short. On no
other railroad in America are such long
-distances made without stopping for wood
and water. But they are made on the
Pennsylvania Railroad without inconve
nience. A day or two ago, when the train
from Altoona arrived at Harrisburg, there
was still a good supply of water' in the
tank, and this after a continuous run of
132 miles. The New York companies
tried this year, as usual, to make shorter
time over their roads to the West than the
Pennsylvania. But the latter having the
shortest road, is the best and safest. The
track of the Pennsylvania Railroad, be
tween Steamboat and Philadelphia, is be
ing straightened,, which when completed,
will save several miles of travel.

THE LAY DELEGATION QUESTION SET
TLED.—It Will be a matter of interest to our
readers to know that the Methodist Episco
pal Conference of East Maine has acted on
the question of lay delegation, the vote ho
ing 43 yeas to 14 nays. This, which was
the last vote - to be taken in America, ad
ded to former votes, 4,906 for and 1,59
against lay representation. Total vote
6,49 s—majority in the affirmative, 3,317,0 r
thirty-five votes more than the required
three-fourths. The German Conference
has yet to vote, but its action will not
change the result. The restriction as to
representation is removed, and hereafter
the laity of the church will be duly rep
resented in its councils.
TILE celebrated opera segars reduced at
Jno. Fendrich's from 10 ets to 5 ets. each.
Cannot be bought at any other tobacco store
made of same leaf tobacco under 10 ets.
A HAUNTED HOUSE.—TI•e York _Repub
lican is responsible for the following.
Probably the Spirit is that of some depart
ed democrat, who is visiting earth to seo
this X.Vth Amendment:—" A house on
West King street has lately been visited
by mysterious sounds, and the heavy tread
of invisible footsteps. The unsuspecting in
mates were first disturbed by continued pac
ing to and fro on the sidewalk in front of
the house, as if a sentinel was passing over
his beat, and on looking out they heard the
same steps, but saw no one. Soon the
slime sounds proceeded from the kitchen,
and then up the stairs, and in the bed
room. While the light was burning
brightly in the room the unearthly visitor
passed through with solemn march. Then
groans and sighs proceeded from the cor
ner of the room, as of a being which was in
unutterable distress, and the cover wus
torn from the bed.
Investigations into the mystery have
thus far Droved unsatisfactory. These su
supernatural visits were repeated with fear
ful regularity every night for several weeks
after which there was a temporary silence.
The plainest manifestations occurred be
twe,a one and three o'clock in the morn
ing. A young man who questioned the
truth of the affair, a relative of the family
residing in the house, made up his mind to
pass a night there, in order to see for him
self. After he had quietly retired, his
doubts were almost confLmed into a decid
ed disbelief, until about one o'clock, when
the usual tramp was heard on the front
pavement. Ho says it seemed as if a per
son was walking who had a wooden limb.
The gate of the side entrance was securely
fastened but without being opened, a few
moments afterwards the same pacing was
heard on the back porch.
The table in the kitchen commenced mov
ing around as if it bad been suddenly
changed to a thing of life. The whole faint
ly immediately went down to the kitchen,
but found the table quietly standing at its
usual place. Although bright lights were
kept lit in the rooms, nothing could be
seen while at the same time the tramp of
the invisible visitant was beside the astcin
taxed listeners. Everything, connected
with this affair remains shrouded in mys
tery."
Ar John Fondrich's, Elephant smoking
tobacco put up in 2oz. bugs 7cts, sold else
where at 10cts.
[For the SPY—Re-published by request.)
Thomas A. Scott, Vice President of
the P. R. R. and H. G. Smith, Ed
itor of the Lancaster Inteiligen
cer.
EDITOR Soy :—The late Archbishop
Whatoly exposed iu one of his essays the
stupidity ni certain commentators on the
sacred writings who were satisfied if they'
could make intelligible sense of a detached
text without considering whether it was
pertinent to the drift of the whole passage
or whether it agreed or contradicted the
context and other portions of scripture.
But what those shallow divines did through
innocent stupidity the editor of theintel
ligencer in his slaa:neless abuse of Mr. Scott
evidently does through perverseness and
down right envy. The assumed cause 'of
the editor's virulence and u-atruthful per
sonalities are that, "Tura passenger trains
pass through the city of Lancaster daily
without halting."
Under the old "Time Table" the "Now
York Central" running from Chicago to New
York arrived about 30 minutes before the
Penn's. Central; under the present arrange
the Penn'a. Central arrives in New York
ahead—so that it was a contention between
two great rival roads, in IV hiCa Penn'a has
been victorious, and every citizen out side
of the little finished town of Lancaster re
joices in the victory. Mr. Smith has been
very unfortunate in compiling the history
of Thos. A. Scott. In a former issue of his
paper he imparts information, while it has
the novelty of being new, it comes far
short of the truth, viz.—" Paul Hamilton a
late resident of our town,—brought " Tom
Scott" (a poor illiterate boy.) from Frank
lin county, and gave him a position on the
Rail Road, &c." But forsooth! he is now
a " bloat," " rich" and "dishonest" cares
nothing for the influence that gave, him his
position, and comm its the unpardonable
sin 01 permitting two trains to run through
tue great emporium of the World, Lancas
ter, without halting.
We have known Mr. Scott for twenty-five
years; a portion of that time we were inti
mately assochited with him and had a good
opportunity of studying and understanding
his character. In 1843 Thos. A. Scott came
to Columbia to clerk for his brother-in-law
Maj. Patton who was then the collector of
Tolls at this place. He held the position of
clerk for several years, afterwards engaged
in the saw mill and ice business, subse
quently clerked oil the Penn's. Central, and
by his own intrinsic merit, (for he had no
rich frie..ds to intercede in his behalf) he
gradually ascended step by stop until he
occupies his present exalted position. Thos.
A. Scott was thrown upon his own resources
when but a yo-th, poor (it is true) and
without the advantages of a collegiate or
classical education, to battle with the world
for a livelihood. While some are endow
ed with the highest order of talents they
stop just short of genius. Mr. Scott has all
the true characteristics, of genius ! he is re
markable for rapidity of thought and
prompt execution, tireless energy and
ceaseless activity', and fully illustrates that
genius must be wedded to idustry to insure
success in any position of life. It gives us
pleasure to trace the career of Thos. A.
Scott, from the time he came to Columbia a
poor boy clerking in the collector's office,
until the pre lent surroanded by all the
luxuries of wealth, (spending his leisure
moments in a room that the envious Mr.
Smith says " the furniture alone cost $30.-
000,") and occupying the proud position of
one of the first Rail Road men of the coun
try. We write this much m-imply in vindi
cation of the truth. Personally we are un
der no obligations to Mr. Scott or the Fannie,
Rail Road; we ask no special favors we don't
belong to that class known in common
parlance as "deed heads" When we ride on
the Penn's. R. R. we pay our fare in full,
and whilst we would scorn to fawn or
cringe at the feet of power, our manhood
would be put to the blush it we would fos
ter the growth of an envious or jealous
spirit because the Almighty had endowed a
fellow man with more in_ellect, by the use
of which he had outstriped us in the accu
mulation of wealth.
Thee is an old saying, that the sons of
itinerant Preachers, grow up to be tyrani
cal, dictatorial, and exceedingly vain, (un
less restrained by grace.) This weakness
may be organic or chronic in the editor of
the Intellegencer, and thus he assumes to
speak for the entire city of Lancaster. Mr.
Smith is evidently not acquainted with Mr.
Scott, and judges from appearance, (which
is exceedingly unsafe.) For example the
first time we met the editor was at a Demo
cratic convention at Harrisburg; whilst
all was excitement and bustle at the hotel
in the midst of it all Mr. Smith cooly stood
before a mirror arranging his long flow
ing locks behind his ears with all the antis
tic skill of a boarding school Miss prepar
ing for an evening party—then shifting his
position with his eyes intently fixed upon
the glass, evidently to ascertain the most
favorable attitude to assume when' he
would address the convention. We must
say our first impression was not favorable;
we imagined his &ell conceit was so appa
rent—that we nuturely wondered if his
bump of approbativeness did not cover his
whole head, and yet we have learned since
rather to like the gentleman, with all his
idiosyncrasy of character. In conclusion
we will venture one word by way of advice
to friend Smith. If we can't all secure free
tickets, and controll those corporations,—
so as to convince the dignitaries that Rail
Roads must be managed exclusively to the
Interest of Lancaster o. Columbia and
sometimes feel chagrined and disappointed
let us try to take it philosophically, for
"When you and I are dead and gone,
This busy world will still jog on,
And laugh and sing, and be us hearty
As if we still were of the party."

RECOVERISO.—We are pleased to note
that Benj. Haldeman. Esq., is slowly but
surely recovering from the effects of an ac
cident in the latter part of April. During
the high water Mr. Haldeman bad a num
ber of rafts lying near the coal chutes,which
were in constant danger of being swept
away. Mr. H. feeling anxious for the safe
ty of his timber, went to the river at nigbt,
and while at work, tripped and fell on a
log, sustaining a serious injury of one of
- his limbs, from the effects of which he has
been compelled to move about on crutches.
He is one of the oldest and most reliable pi
lots a long the river, and wo are sorry that
his valuable services have by this misfor
tune boon lost to the lumber trade.

The Penn Sylvania Railroad and the
Editor of the Lancaster Intelli-
gencer.
EDITOR SPY I—Froln the persistent and
daily attacks of the Intelligencep upon Mr.
Scott, and the Penna. R. R., it is evident
there is something of a personal character
uuderlying those attacks. It is not the in
terest of Lancaster alone, that produces so
much personal bitterness. Although Lan
caster is supremely selfish and jealous of
the prosperity of her more vigorous and
energetic neighbors, yet the bitterness of
the Intelligencer in this case is confined to
its columns, and the small circle of its in
fluence. If the Intelligcneer is a true index
of the feelings and determination of the
citizens of Lancaster, their entire influence
will be used to cripple the Penn'a. Central,
(conceoded to be one of the best conducted
railroads in the country.) The Inteltigencer
of the 11th publishes a call for " a meeting
of the citizens of Lancaster, 4.4 x., who are
favorable to the construction of a railroad
to extend from Lancaster to Unicorn Hotel,
Dru more townshp, to be called the 'Peach
Bottom Road.' " When that is completed,
while " Unicorn Mills " will be the termin
ous, Lancaster will continue to be the great
emporium. To keep pace with the liberal
and far-seeing policy of that enterprising
city, a line of Conestoga teams will be daily
run from Lancaster to Pittsburg, via May
town, Harrisburg and Columbia will be en
tirely ignored in the new arrangement,
(the latter city can never be forgiven for
furnishing to the Penn'a. Central so much
of its brains and motive power, viz : Thos.
A. Scott, G. C. Franciscus, H. H. Houston,
I. I. Houston (deed,) S. D. Young, (dee'd)
S. A. Black, Wm. F. Lockard, and a host
of others.)
Messrs. Smith and Evans of the City Coun
cil, will occupy the same relation to the
new enterprise that J. Edgar Thompson
and Thos. A. Scott do to the Penn'a Con
tral. Then the fight will continence in earn -
est between " Tom Scott," Cornoy Wander-
but, and Hen Smith for the western trade.
The Council, no doubt, will have the rails
of the Penn's. Central speedily removed
outside of the city limits, and such an im
petus will be given to the prosperity and
future greatness of that live city, that it has
been a stranger to for the last fifty years.
It can then have no competition, and wilt
at once monopolize the trade in ginger
bread, pretzele, sweitzercase, lager beer,
and flying horses, and all jurors will he se
lected from the eternal city.
Poor Lancaster ! we pity her spasmodic
efforts at greatness. Remove the Court
House to Columbia, (where it should have
been ten years ago,) divert the railroad
around the city and all its vitality will be
dried up, and Maytown and Lancaster will
rival each other as lasting monuments to
old fogy enterprise. Mr. Smith's only sal
vation will be to take up his traps and
come to Columbia, where we promise, if
he is not too old,and his itinerant education
too deeply imbedded, to make a man of
him ! We accede to him talents and indus
try, an abundance of motive power, lack
ing a governor or balance wheel to keep
him steady upon the track, while he con
deems Tom Scott's lightning trains "that
run through Lancaster without halting."
He imitates them in arriving at conclu
sions so rashly and recklessly,that ids worth
a man's neck to attempt to grasp them.
Whilst an editor should be over vigilant
and careful of the interests of the commu
nity in which he lives, and sound the alarm
at the first approach of danger, he should
be equally careful to be just, and not pros
titute the columns of his paper to gratify
a morbid spleen, to prey upon personal
character, he should never forget that calm
dignified criticism has inure weight with
a discerning public than blackguardism.
We don't believe in the sovereignty of
corporations; whenever they violate their
chartered privileges, and recklessly in
fringe upon the laws, they should he strict
ly held amenable. But railroads like all
other corporations have rights which they
:Lust Inoteet, the interests of their stock
holders must be consulted to make them a
success. The great Penn's. Central after
expending millions of dollars in her com
pletion, now stretches her arms hundreds
of miles, binds and connects the great ag
ricultural West with the commercial East,
her iron horses snorts through numberless
cities and towns. (two of which don't stop
to water at Lancaster,) drawing their long
and valuable trains laden with the rich
products of the laud, to remunerative mar
kets. It would be a shame! a burning
shame upon our State if Lancastor,through
the rash teachings of the itinerant Smith,
would decide to complete the "Unicorn
Railroad " and thus forever cripple the fi
nances of this great corporation, simply
because "two daily trains don't halt at
Lancaster." We hope a compromise will
yet be effected, even if Mr. Scott has to pur
chase it by sending the editor of the intafi
gencer a free pass over the road.

dropped, even after Letters Patent have been
obtained, for the want of means or the knowl
edge of the proper channels through widish to
introduce them on Lhe part of the owners, which
might realize for them a handsome fortune if
placed in my- bands.
My facilities for bringing such to the notice of
capitalists, and introducing them throughout
the United States. are unlimited.
Only those which I am satisfied, after a lair
but thorough investigation can be disposed of,
will be accepted.
A. candid opinion can always be relied on
Charges mederato and satisfaction guaranteed.
