CouNTEßvErrs.-Peterson's Detector says
there are a large number of counterfeit five
cent pieces in circulation. An assay at the
mint has been made of them, and Director
Pollock says " you will find the motto, ' Lt
God we Trust,' a good deal larger in the
counterfeit than in the genuine. The yel
low color of the counterfeit will also afford
some test, itc. This is an appearan,e of
Zinc, which is not in the genuine."
It seems that counterfeiters as well as the
Treasury department hold to the motto,
"In God we Trust."
Tun VIGILANT FAm.—The Fair closed on
Monday evening, after continuing seven
nights. The weather was pleasant most of
the time, and the attendance reasonably
fair,though not as largo as might have been
expected. The receipts on Friday and Sa
turday evenings, we understand, were
quite satisfactory.
Many of the articles voted for and some
of those chanced off, were disposed of on Sa
turday evening—the rest on Monday. Rev.
Mr. Schwartz was presented with the arm
chair ; S. S. Detwiler, Cashier of the First
National Bank won the gold head cane ;
our general I': iend Capt. Hambright was
honored with the Conductor's lump ; on
the award of tho milkman's boll, there was
but little rivalry: John P. Staman, re
ceived 10 votes, Mrs. Allison, 2 votes, John
Moore 5, and Howard Case 1. John Fry
drew the suit of clothes, George Crane, the
rug carpet,Geo. F. Rathvon, the Bride cake,
and Mr. Foy,tho Bride. The interest in the
award of prizes was unabated to the last
and produced considerable merriment.
The " Grand Lottery" absorbed more in
terest than any other feature of the fair. A
$lO, gold piece, a barrel of flour, piece of
Muslin, Sze., were among the highest prizes.
We have not learned what the net pro
ceeds of the fair are, but we presume they
are about $5OO.

Too 11.1t:cu Jou:E.—We have it on the au
thority of a gentleman of "undoubted vo
racity, intelligence and influence" residing
in Rapti°, that a young Lancaster city
chap, on a visit to the country, thought
that ho would have some fun with a fir
mer in the neighborhood. So he decorated
himself with a sheet, and planted himself
out in the farmer's yard. When the far
mer came out to the pump, the ghost began
to frisk about the grounds and groan. Bu t
the agricultural gentleman was so little
open to conviction on the question of su
pernatural manifestations, that ho merely
picked up an adz-handle and proceeded to
fondle the pale spectre with earnestness
and vigor. The next morning the Lancaster
youth was confined to thehouse with what
the family called "a slight cold," and he
did'nt appear in public for three weeks.
The farmer says he is prepared to take out
contracts near the cemetery. He can de
moralize any disembodied spirit that ever
re-visited the glimpses of the moon, or his
back-yard either. He says he is .the poor
est Hamlet you ever saw in all your born
days.
FAST RAILROAD TIME.—TiI9 Pacific Ex
press, consisting of seven cars, on Saturday
morning traversed the distance from Al
toona to Harrisburg—one hundred and
twenty-eight miles—in two hours and fifty
nine minutes, including a stoppage of four
minutes for water. This is at the rate of
forty-four miles an hour. The distance be
tween Harrisburg and Philadelpnia is
one hundred and seven miles and was
made by the same train, with change of
engine, in two hours and forty-five min
utes, or thirty-nine miles an hour. The
entire distance from Altoona to Philadel
phia—two hundred and thirty-five miles—
occupied five hours and thirty-six min
utes (not including two stops of four min
utes each) in running, making an average
of forty-two miles an hour. The Harris
burg Pub - lot, from which we gather the
above facts, says that the run from Altoona
to Harrisburg eclipses anything of the kind
ever accomplished on the Pennsylvania
Railroad. The train was seventy-five min
utes hehind at Altoona, and was made up
a considerable distance west of Philadel
phia.
TILE NEW HOTEL. DOWNINGTOWN.-
The largo and magnificent hotel at Down
ingtown was burned to the ground on last
Sunday morning about 1 o'clock. The
hotel was so far completed that it was ex
pected to be opened for the reception of vis
itors and guests early in July. The build
ing inside was elaborately finished, and
every part of it was constructed on the most
approved plans, both as to health and con
venience. It promised to be a grand suc
cess. Some fiend however in human
form, jealons no doubt of its success,for we
can not conceive what other motive could
Dace prompted its destruction,set lire to it,
and its complete destruction was the result.
It is a heap of ashes.
rt is said that when the slate roof fell in,
it was attended with a noise not unlike
thunder, which reverberated up and down
the valley. The tire was the largest over
seen, and the reflection upon the sky ob
served for miles away.
The loss is estimated at from $73,000
to $90,000, on which there is an insurance of
$OO,OOO, and a capital stock of 530,000. The
contracters, workmen, Sze., are all secured
and it is thought that not even the smallest
loss will be sustained by them.
This announcement will be gratifying to
the friends of Messrs. George Bogle, John
Pearl and Bachman Dehuff, who had
contracts for furnishing the lumber.
MitaTatty ENC-I.IIP3IENT.--rrom the
Philadelphia papers we learn that the Third
Regiment, Philadelphia City Guards will
encamp at Reading for one week this sum
mer. General S. A. Mulholland, present
Chief of Police of Philadelphia, an old com
rade and fellow officer of oure,is the Colonel
commanding. The general served with dis
tinction daring the war, having been pro
moted from Major of the 116th Reg't.
Penit'a. Vol. to Brevet Major General of U.
S. Volunteers. He was twice wounded,
and is in every sense a brave officer, au ac
complished gentleman, and a genial com
panion. We hope to spend a day with the
City Guards during their encampment near
Reading,' and revive many of the old asso
ciations and pleasant incidents of "ye 116th
P. v."
The General received a flattering rick no wl
edgetnent of his military services, when
the office of Chief of Police was tendered
him,on account of his bravery and devotion
to the cause of his country.
The Sunday Dispatch in noticing the pro
posed encampment, says :
The City Guards have completed very sat
isractory arrangements for their coming
encampment. Gen. Mulholland selected
the ground last week. It is a beautiful
spot, on the Schuylkill river, two miles
front Reading; it is high, well watered,
and aline flow of water passing through
the encampment sufficient to accommodate
ten thousand men, besides which, a dense
growth of large timber surrounds the camp
on three sides, affording a pleasant retreat
from the sun. A fine view or the city of
Reading and of, the surrounding country
may be obtained from the grounds. Dur
ing the war a camp was located at this
spot, and was calLd camp Sigel. In the
year 1862 a militia camp was pitched here.
Judging front the kind reception of Gen.
Mulholland and the cotnmittee of his offi
cers, the citizens of Reading will give the
third regiment a glorious welcome. The
regiment will leave this city on Saturday,
August Gth, and will remain in camp seven
days.

Taking the Census—Rules for the
Assistant Marshals.
The work of taking the census has com
menced. Notwithstanding the fact that tho
Superintendent of the Census has issued
minute instructions wo venture to assist
Marshals Richards and Bookies, in making
their duties more plain to them. Each As
sistant Marshal should cut these instruc
tions ont and paste them carefully in his
hat.
The enumeration is to be made by actual
inquiry at every dwelling-house, unless the
head of the house is out in the barn, when
you may inquire there, but not otherwise.
This duty must be performed by the Assis
tant Marshal alone; he can't semi a boy.
Marshals must take pains to employ in
telligible terms. If a man is a " shoemak
er," no matter if he calls hitnselfa minister
or an editor, put him down as a shoemaker.
Don't call a man an " artist" because ho
goes out whitewashing, or " sailor" simply
because be tends saw-mill. A man may be
" engaged in a bank" and yet be nothing
but a burglar, and you must be careful and
make the distinction.
When a lawyer, a merchant, or a manu
facturer has retired from business say " re
tired lawyer," retired merchant." iSr.c. If a
man has served a term in the penitentiary
you may say "retired convict."
Distinguish between stone-masons and
freemasons.
In the tobacco business make the proper
distinction between wholesale and retail
and "
Separate the cooks and waiters at the ho
tels, particularly if they have male cooks
and female waiters.
In using the term " Judge," let us know
whether he is judge of a court, whisky or a
horse-race.
Officials should have their profession des
ignated, it they have any, as " Retired mer
chant, Governor of Masiachnsetts;" "Bone
boiler, Representative in Congress ;"
" Rum-seller, member of the Legislature,"
etc., etc.
Be particular to distinguish between
farmers and farm-hands. This can be done
by observing which call the other up in the
morning.
Be very particular in taking " Diseases,"
particularly small-pox. The Census Bu
reau desires all the statistics possible re
garding small-pox, and Assistant Marshals
must give their personal attention to it.
Among• Social Statistics the amount of
courting done by our young people is im
portant. Careful and delicate in qutry will
result in an accurate and valuable estimate
of the amount of gas, oil, tallow candles dm.,
consumed in "sitting up" Sunday nights.
Be,particular and never describe a wo
man as an " old maid," if you ever expect
to travel that way again.
When you employ the term " packer," in
dicate whether you mean " crockery-pack
er," " loule-packer," " pork-packer," or
Governor Packer, of Pennsylvania.
When an able-bodied yonng mar, depends
upon a poor and feeble old mother for
support, set him down as a " loafer."
We trust that with the above rules always
at hand the census takers will be enabled to
perform their duties creditably and satisfac
torily.

The West has had refreshing rains and
the Springfield Republic thus acknowledges
the blessing :
"Let us devoutly thank God for the gener
ous, drenching, life-giving rain just given
us. It has brought the grass and grain
safely through a serious crisis.
It would be well for towns and cities to
refrain from bragging, just now, about
their population. The census-taker is at"
hand and he is a wonderful chap to shrink
fancy figures !
The crops all over the county look well—
the wheat being a little damaged by the late
rains.
Crop reports from the Northwest are in
the main, encouraging. The St. Paul Dis
patch, of Minnesota, says: "The approxi
mation to drought which has prevailed in
a portion of the west and in Ohio and east
ward has not retarded the growth of our
grass or grain. There will be an early
wheat harvest in Minnesota, with a good
yield, equal to our best years. In many
parts of the State the farmers, instead of at
tempting to work up a vast surface, are
cultivating less ground, but doing it more
thoroughly, and will find their recompense
in good crops•" As to lowa, leading jour
nals of that State say crops never looked
better, and were never as forward as now.
The best young corn the State has ever bad
is that which is now covering the ground
with its green. It. is farther along, looks
better, is growing faster and is cleaner than
say corn ever seen in the State. In Wis
consin the crops of all kinds are doing well,
and the harvest will be generous and abun
dant. Accounts from Illinois, are very
cheering, especially as to wheat. In Mich
igan wheat will not be much more than
half a crop, and corn and oats are so stunt
ed that copious rains and a late fall can oily
make them. of consequence, and much the
same story comes from Northern and Mid
dle Ohio. But summing up the whole situ
ation, the Northwest is in good heart, and
from its well-filled storehouses will honor
all demands that may be made of it.
A party of gentlemen went fishing a few

Lounging loafers rest their weary limbs
on the Town Hall steps on the Sabbath day.
Exkuse me if you please, I'll take two
boxes album paper collars at Brenemares.
A new Lodge of Ancient York Masons
was instituted ae Lancaster on Thursday
evening last by Grand Master Lamberton.
Many an invitation (?) was sent to Lodge
2.86, but we believe only one or two " big
Injuns,"were present.
A wandering Arab, who lounges about
Clothing stores on Front street, has been
writing letters to young ladies in Co
lumbia to meet him at certain street cor
ners. A vigilance committee of school
marms should be appointed to gouge out
his oyes, or to tar and feather him at least,
The "Big Injuns," Red Cloud, Spotted
Tail and others have left for their wigwams
in the far west. there, perhaps to sanction
the further butchery of men, women and
children. They are not to he trusted. A
dumb brutish heathenish race is not easily
taught knowledge and refinement. A
compact entered into with such a treacher
ous people has often proved disastrouq.
In. C. Buttgers, an eminent German phy
sician of this place left home and
. a. very in
teresting, family, a short time since,to visit
his relatives and attend to some financial
business in Germany. In due time he ar
rived at the old homestead on die beautiful
and historic river Rhine, there to find, that
his mother only a few days before, had died.
After visiting his friends and attending to
private matters in the Old - World ho was
soon on his way back again to the States.
On Saturday last, with buoyant step and a
heart full of love, he was wending his way
to the peaceful home he had lately left,
there to meet his little ones whose merry
laugh was to him as the gush of summer
rills. But he finds the wife of his bosom
bowed down with grief and anguish ,and his
home almost desolate. Da is told that dur
ing his brief absence scarlet fever entered
his abode, and death had stolen his three
jewels. Not one of his lambs loft to re
ceive a father's kiss or a father's blessing . .
Each day some pearl drops from the jewel
led thread of friendship—some lyre, to
which we have been want to listen,has been
hushed forever. But indeed we never
heard of so hard a case as this. The Doctor
has the sympathy of the entire community.

The " Herald" and the Odd Fel-
lows'.
The Herald of this week contains a base
and most cowardly attack on Susquehanna
Lodge of Independent Order of Odd Fel
lows of this Borough, which calls for sum
mary defense. In noticing the ball of the
colored people held in the Hall on Tuesday
evening, the Herald adds :
It may be well for our German population
to ponder over the fact that the niggers can
have the Hall in which to dance, but it is
closed against them. Remember this and
act accordingly.
Now it may be well to state that some
time ago Susquehanna Lodge to whom the
Hall belongs, and over which they have ju
risdiction, passed a resolution in Lodge,
which positively prohibited the sale or keep
ing of Liquor in the Hall. So much drunken
ness and disorder had resulted from the
practise of keeping beer, and retailing it in
the ante-rooms at balls, &c., that the Odd
Fellows were obliged to act promptly and
decidedly in the matter, and the instructions
of the Lodge were directed to be strictly en
forced by the Treasurer, Mr. Wilson.
A short time ago some of our German
citizens, wishing to hold a ball or entertain
ment of some kind, applied to the Treasur
er for the purpose of securing the hall, but
upon learning that the resolution of the
Lodge prohibited the sale of liquors in the
building, they declined renting it. It was
not closed against thcm,as the Herald states,
but free to all who would pay the stipula
ted rental, and conform with the rules of
the Order.
The apparent motive of the licratcrs at
tack on Susquehanna Lodge, and especially
its threatening admonition to "remember
this and act accordingly" is to create the
belief that the Odd Fellows' organization
makes political discrimination between
classes, and that it has so far forgotten• its
high and christian watch-words of "Friend
ship; Love and Truth," as to deny to our
German citizens what it grants to the
"niggers." This is a base intimation, and
we take pleasure in refuting it. The Order
has for its aim higher and more charitable
objects than those into which the Herald
would drag it. Susquehanna Lodge knows
her duty too well to allow her fair name
to be degraded by su2h motives as are im
puted to her in the Herald's article. Here
tofore beneficial societies, such as the Odd
Fellows, enjoyed immunity from newspa
per attacks, because their principles and
practices; were consistent. Du tthe Herald
with a disregard which must be distasteful
to all intelligent citizens, has outraged com
mon propriety,, and made Susquehanna
Lodge the object of its petty spite. The
Lodge may congratulate itself however,
that the attack conies from a source so pu
erile and nominally harmless.
The suggestion of the Herald that ``our
German friends" should "remember this
and act accordingly," contains an insult to
that intelligent portion of our people, in
the very insinuation that they are not ca
pable of judging for themselves. All well
informed citizens know that they mast
comply with the rules and regulations of
our Public • Hall, or decline its use, and
the people of Columbia will sustain Sus
quehanna Lodge in the enforcement of
these salutary rules.
A MYSTERY CLEARED -THE: RE
MAINS 01 , A SUICIDE DISINTERRED—A BUL
LET RATTLING IN HIS SKULL—SAD STORY
or MS DEATH.—WhiIo a party of work
men were engaged in the removal of some
human remains from the south-east corner
of the Presbyterian burying ground of this
city, to make room for the erection of a
dwelling house for the sexton, a skull was
exhumed in the empty cavity of which a
bullet was heard to rattle. and on exami
nation a bullet hole was discovered in the
right temple. This bullet dropped out of
one of the eye holes into the hand of the
sexton, and the affair led to suspicions that
the persons to whom the remains belonged
might have been murdered.
It so happens, however, that we are able
to clear up this supposed mystery com
pletely, and to the entire satisfaction of
all concerned., The skull found with the
bullet rattling in it was not the skull of a
murdered man, but that of a suicide. The
story of his death is full of inter
ist, andthe,-particul, , trs thereof we gather
in - o the refiollectiods of that most estima
ble lady, Mrs, L. Michael, proprietress of
the Grape Hotel. In the month of Oct.,
in the year IS'2O, a gentleman named Tor
rence Marshall, from Wry( he county, Va.,
came to this city with a drove of cdttle.
lie traveled, as was the general custom in
those clays, upon horseback, and brought
with him a drove of cattle, which he sold
at a loss to the farmers of Lancaster Co.
He was a line looking man, about forty
years of age. His father and his brother
had both been among the victims of that
terrible calamity, the burning of the old
Richmond Theatre. Some time after that
his with was thrown front a carriage and
killed. These things, together with the
loss of money on his cattle, so preyed upon
his mind that he determined to put an end
to an existence that he had become bur
thensome to him. He went to the store of
John I'. Steinman and purchased a pistol.
He took the weapon to the gun store of Mr.
Gibbs, and had it carefully loaded. Re
turning to the Grape Hotel, then kept by
Mr. John Michael, the husband of the lady
from whom we leant the particulars of this
sad story, he had some conversation with
a fellow-drover and merchant from the
same county in Virginia. The name of his
friend was Zimmerman. Marshall told
him that he could not wait until the time
they had set for their departure together
for Baltimore, where they were both to lay
in a supply of goods, each of them being en
gaged in the mercantile business in Wythe
county Virginia. Zhninerman insisted
upon Marshall's waiting, telling him that
he would be able to leave with him on the
following day, as some farmers were to
come in and pay the last of his money due
him on the day when the conversation oc
curred. Mr. Zimmerman stated that he
was about writing home, and advised
Marshall to do the same, and lie over with
him. To this Mr. Marshall seemed to as
sent, and taking pen, ink and paper with
him ho started up stairs. Going to his
room he found the chamber-maid engaged
in cleaning it up, both he and his friend
having risen at rather a late hour in the
morning. The girl did not leave the room,
thinking he might wait until she had fin
ished.
:Marshall went out, entered another
close by, and placing the pistol he had pur
chased and had so carefully loaded to his
head, fired. The girl heard a report, but
thought he had knocked a chair over ; Mr.
Michael, who was in a room just below that
in which the tragedy occurred, heard
noise and thought the chambermaid had
knocked down a looking-glass and broken
it. Ile started up to see about the matter,
and discovered Mr. Marshall lying upon
the floor, life being extinct and the floor
flooded with his blood. lle bled very pro
fusely, two large earthen croaks of blood be
ing sc:noped up. The ball and the entire
contents of tbe pistol, entered his skull, but
dal tint emerge therefrom ; this accounts for
the presence of the bullet in the skull when
it was dug up the other day.—The room
where the deed was committed is the back
room over the store of Mr. Jacob Loeb, that
building being then the Grape Hotel. The
remains were examined by the Coroner, an
inquest was held, and a verdict in accord
ance with the facts rendered. There being
some objection to the burial of a suicide in
church yards at that day, the body was in
terred in a family grave-yard on the farm
of Mr. Henry Dietrich, the father of Mrs.
Michael. The deceased had some twenty
two or three hundred dollars of money in
his possession, which, with his other effects
were taken charge of by his companion,
Mr. Zimmerman. About a year after his
death a Mr. Hounsel, from Wythe county
Virginia, canto to Lancaster, had tho body
of Marshall disintered, and buried in the
Presbyterian church yard, where it reposed
in quiet unfit disturbed by the spade of
those who were engaged in the removal of
the remains from that part of the church
yard upon which the sexton's house is to
be erected. The story of Mr. Marshall is a
sad one, and few have been called upon to
bear up under greater afflictions than those
which assailed him. His remains, with
those of the others which. were removed.
have been decently interred in another part
of the church-yard, where it is to be hoped
they will be suffered to rest undisturbed
until the dust to which they are fast tending
is quickened by the trump of the great arch
angel.—.lnl elligeneer.

THE TARIFF MEETING.—The meeting on
Monday evening as preliminary to a gen
eral meeting was a decided success. About
seventy-five ofthe leading and most influen
tial Republicans of Columbia assembled in
the Town Hall, and proceeded to effect an
organization by calling T. G. Ifess, Esq.,
to the chair and appointing Captain
Herber* Thomas, Secretary. The object
of the meeting, the call S. c., were discussed
by the gentlemen present, and a motion fi
nally agreed upon, that a committee of five
be appointed to draft resolutions, expres
sive of the sentiments of the Republicans
of Lancaster county, to be reported at a
subsequent meeting. The chair appointed
P. Fraley, Col. C. S. Kauffman, Thos. K.
Supplee, J. B. Bachman, and J. W. Yocum
on said committee.
On motion of Mr. Fraley, on amend
ment by Col. Kauffman, it was decided that
a public meeting be held in Odd Fellows'
Hall on (this) Saturday evening, June 25th.
The committee was instructed to make the
necessary arra.ngoments to carry the re.so
tions into effect.
Extended remarks wore then made on the
question of protection by Col. Kauffman, P.
Fraley and others. The meeting then ad
journed.
A mass meeting will be held in Odd Fel
lows' Hall this evening, to consider the sub
ject further, before the status of the Repub
licans of Columbia and vicinity on the ta
riff question. Let every Republican turn
out and bring his neighbor with him. Let
our laboring men be there in their strength.
Let our merchants and our manufacturers
be there, and let us have a large and gener
al out-pouring of the masses.
We have been informed that the working
men of Marietta will be hero in force.
Welcome thrice, welcome ! Come in your
strength.
LETTER FaOist TEtE WEST.—Mr.Peart Ir
win of Cincinnati, formerly typo of the Scy,
in a private letter to his sister speaks of
the grand Saengerfest, recently held in
that city, thus:
For the last four or five days our city has
been agitated by what is called a "Saenger
fest" which when translated means " Sing
ing Feast." It is a re-union of the different
German singing societies of the Unitod
States, and a custom that has been repealed
annually for seventeen years. This years
" feast" however, has exceeded anything
ever before held or even anticipated. On a
lot, owned by the city and intended for a
park, was built an immense structure in
the highest style of art capable of seating it
is said over 8000 persons; the building itself
is quite an ornament in its outward appear
ance but upon my first entrance on the oc
casion of the second concert I was perfectly
astonished to see how richly, gaily and tas
tily it was decorated with paintings, ever
greens and rich flags of the different na
tionalities, with the stars and stripes grand
ly and beautifully above all, the standards,
mottoes, and colors of the different societies
interspersed among them.
The stage, rising in West end of the hall,
step above step until it reached as it seemed
within ten feet of the arches fin• above the
heads of those in the auditoriutn, was filled
with the different singing societies and au
orchestra of 150 performers.
The Hall and Galleries were filled to
overflowing with people, estimated in num-
hers trom nine to twelve thousand, among
whom were our best and most respectable
citizens, altogether forming one of the
grandest scenes I ever witnessed. Of the
music I can only say, that the general crit
icism is more favorable to the instrumen
tal than vocal part of the programme.
The selections were of a high order of
classical music, and when I say the ex
ecution was very tine, I only echo the mild
sentiments of musical critics.
The week's festivities ended yesterday
with a pie-tile in a woods accessible by
the I. A; C. it. R., as well as the steamboats
on the river, being a fine ride of about six
teen miles trom the city.
With thousands of others I wont down to
see the crowd, and was gratified. It is es
timated that from thirty to fifty thousand
people were on the grounds at onetime, and
that besides other refreshments consumed,
the Germans' great staple beverage, Leer,
suffered to the extent of 5000 kegs. I have
heard of no rowdyism, or accifliint in con
nection with this immense festival.
CENSUS OF COLUMBIZL—In 4550, the Cen

COUNER Lousocso.-Lounging on corners
prevails to such an extent in Columbia
that it is becoming a sheer nuisance and a
disgrace to the better disposed classes.
During the week days the corners are well
tilled; but especially on Sunday evenings
they are so crowded and jammed with
noisy and boisterous young men, entirely
blocking up the pavements, that we have
noticed ladies going to church being com
pelled to step out over the gutter to get
around the crowd, they making no move
ment toward opening the passage or get
ting out of the way. This unmanly prac
tice should not be tolerated any longer; it
should be abated and done away with at
once for the respect and morality of our
pleasant borough. It would bo well if
those having the ruling authority would
visit some of our most prominent corners
on Sunday evenings and disperse the noisy
loungers.
ME plans and specifications of the uew
Town Hall, have just been completed,
and can be seen at the First National
Bank; the contract will be awarded on the
9th of July.
We trust the work will he pushed vigor
ously.

The advantages of these rods are becoming
more and more appreciated as they become
known.
ONLY a few days more, and hay making
time will be here. Are the farmers all
provided with mowers and reapers ? If
not, they should at once secure one of the
best in the market—Dodge's patent mower

Harrisburg. H. H. Heise, No. 230 Locust

will be filled in six hours notice being

received orders for five more machines
since Saturday.
Trn FALL OF BRMADSTUFFS. - -The joyful
intelligence of the fall of bread became cur
rent in the streets yesterday and spread
with electric rapidity throughout the bo
rough, gladdening the hearts of many of
our hard-working people. Soon hundreds
of eager citizens were seen flocking to the
spot where this valuable commodity was
said to have fallen, when, lo! it was discov
ered to have been a barrel of ❑our which
had fallen front a wagon bound for H.
Hayes' Grocery and Flour store where can
ho had at the lowest price the best flour in
the state. We advise all to give him a call
at Corner of Fourth and Cherry streets.

has racked so many brains. Now Hayes since
you are so good at "Settling," please to "Settle"
this question. How is it that PURPLE'S brick
