A number of our citizens are out of town
seeking recreation among the mountains,
in the valleys, and along the sea shore.
If folks didn't have thermometers to con
sult these hot days, they wouldn't really
know how warm they were.
An exchange thinks the milkmen aro
happy fellows. They enjoy themselves at
the watering places all the year round. Co
lumbia milkmen are an exception.
A new and dangerous fifty cent note, of
the new issue with the Lincoln vignette, is
in circulation. The words " fractional cur

which is not the case with the genuine.
The new stamped envelope has made its
appearance. The stamp is by far the finest
one yet gotten out, and is of the usual size,
oval in shape, printed green. In the centre
is a line medallion portrait of Washington.

Contributors should remember this.
Monday and Monday evening were re
garded as the most uncomfortable of the
many hot days and evenings this season.
At 3 p. m., the mercury in the thermometer
marhed 95 in the shade, somewhat less than
on Sunday, but the degree of heat did not
seem to be less, but rather in excess, of the
previous clay. Suffering humanity, how
ever, had some consolation during the night
in the indication that a storm was approach
ing. The storm and rain reduced the tem
perature to a living degree, but Tuesday
was as hot as ever. Tuesday evening
another heavy rain storm, and Wednesday
anothor "horrid" hot clay. Good weather
for corn and tobacco. The crops never
looked better. Butter melted in the shade,
and linen coats and paper collars wilted in
a minute. Business was almost suspended,
dry goods clerks having nothing else to do
than pick their teeth, and sleep. Scarcely
a bird was visible,and many of our citizens
kept their houses closed all day.
Thursday grew still more intense, the
thermometer showing 101 in the shade.
Brick walls were avoided, and the water al
most boiled in the gutters. Such a contin
uous " spell" of hot weather has seldom
been experienced.
Bonouon LocALs.---The passenger and
freight locomotives were draped in mourn

commodations will be ample. The strictest
order will be maintained, and the meeting
will be regulated according to the laws of
Pennsylvania, governing religious bodies.
No tent or bean for the sale of refreshments
allowed withal 3 miles of the place except

prietor, Marietta, Pa.
ZELL'S GREAT DICTIONARY.—WO find
upon examination that the late numbers of
Zell's Encyclopedia and Universal Dictiona
ry show no falling off from the general ex
cellence exhibited at the outset. We can
commend to the scholar the essay on the
" Latin Langnage ;" and the article on
"Man" suffices for a proper exemplification
of the proverb, " Man, know thyself."
The first volume of this great work,bound
and ready for supplying subscribers, can
be procured from the publisher, T. Ellwood
Zell, Philadelphia; specimen numbers, ten
cents.
GOLD Ur.—The vagaries of the gold and
bond market can be accurately ascertained
each day at 10 A. M., and 2 P. AC. by call
ing at the Columbia Deposit Bank. The
officers of this Institution have erected a
large bulletin board, which shows the latest
quotations, twice each day at the hours
above named, of gold, silver, stocks, bonds,
itc. The public, and business men especi
ally are invited to call in and note quota
tions. In view of the European complica
tions, and the sudden fluctuations of the
money market, this will be quite an accom
modation. Often the progress of the conflic
on the other side may be noted by the fluc
tuations on " boards."

COMPLIMENTAIn7.—At the animal com
mencement exercises of the Millersville
Normal School, the first honor of the even
ing—the valedictory—was awarded to W.
K. Sourbeer of this place. The Express, in
noticing it says
This was one of the ablest valedictories to
which we have ever listened. Judging
from this etrort alone, we should be irresis
tibly led to the conclusion that the writer
had enriched his mind with the fruits of
wide and varied reading, and strengthened
it by constant and careful exercise. Sortie
of bis sentences fairly sparkled with beau
ties. His farewell to undergraduates, teach
ers, Principal, and classmates,were in good
taste and brought tears to "eyes unused to
weep."
—State Superintendent J. P. Wickersham
being present,was called upon for a speech,
and re ponded in his usually effective style.
He alluded to the condition of the school
when he took charge of it, in 1853, and to
its subsequent growth. He said if it keep
on it would "soon cover the whole ten-acre
lot." This school,he said, was at the head,
not only of the Normal schools of this State,
but of those of the whole United States. He
loved it as a father loved his child, and
wished and predicted for it a glorious ca
reer of usefulness.
'ATIONAL CAMP 3.ll97mco.—The st
tendar.ce at the Fifth National Camp Meet
ing which opened at Oakinton, Md., on the
13th inst. was very lare—the number of
tents erected being about 900 and ac
commodating not less than 4000 persons.
Nearly every state in the Union was repre
sented, as is attested by the diversity of
manner and conduct of the various services.
One tent, erected at a cost cf $2,000 capable
of seating 3,000 persons ; in it the morninr
and evening prayer meetings were hell
The camp is furnished with water by means
of an engine and pump, the water being
first forced into a large reservoir holding
10,000 gallons ; from thence it is conveyed in
pipes to all parts of the grounds. A Bath
House has also been erected for the use of
those in attendance.. Among other indes
pensables, they have a Yost-Office known
as," Oakington" ; an Adams' Express Office
h a s also been opened upon the grounds.
The " National Camp Meeting Journal," is
the title of a daily publication, which
chronicled all the interesting events that
occurred in the camp. It also contains full
reports of tho public exercises. A branch
of the Methodist 13ook Concern has also been
established. The sojourners are well sup
plied with barber shops, grocery stores, no
tions, LU. Instead of the dinner horn, so
;niversally used at camp meetings in sum
moiling the people together for worship, a
tine toned bell, weighing:ll)ola 200 pounds,
watt substituted. This Is undoubtedly the
the largest eamp sleeting ever held iii this

disposed of, that all the streets are looked
after, and the school board are now deliber

improvements in historic York, and to rec

"THE BUMMER."
From Washington to the Insane
Asylum.
" This fellow is wise enough to play the fool,
Anil, to do that well, craves a Icind of wit."
Eorron. Sry :—A. correspondent in your
paper of tho 2.3t1 inst, gave a witty (!) ac
count of a trip from "'Washington to C'o•
lumbia," making several reflections on the
citizens and the town of York, which could
emanate only from a brain which had be
come dizzy over Washington snobbishness
and about to take a trip from
WASFLINGTON TO TILE INSANE ASYLUM,
as the last and only remedy for a distem
pered and over-worked (?) mind. We've
heard of such_individuals before, and your
' ;H. J. H." is not the first or tue last of
his species, with which a respectable com
munity have been, or may be sorely dis
tressed.
The first smart thing which " Howard,
the Smart," says about York is in refer
ence to his dirty " underwear," which had
been checked to Columbia. It was well
that a check had been put on it, or the
" thing" might have walked there itself,
miraculous instances of which, we have
heard ot in the army. This " Howard, the
Smart," acknowledges himself as a "mortal
in a disagreeable snd perplexing situation."
No doubt of it. So would any other mor
tal in like unfortunate circumstances, but
York couldn't help Mat. To remedy- the
'oupleasantness' ot the situation, our bum
mer says :
"A hotel was sought and soon found. A
bath, towel, comb and brush (he should
have added a tooth-pick and possibly some
thing else) rendered me a trifle more com
fortable•"
Now, we seriously ask what portion of
the known world cares whether " H. J. U."
found a hotel or not, whether be combed
himself or not, or whether he honored (!)
York with his presence, or his absence.
Perhaps the President of the United States
can solve the problem, or if not we'll refer
it to his extreme, royal dirtiness (self con
fessed) of Howard, the Stuart. Who (ex
cept probably our prison convicts) cares
whether " Howard " had any underwear in
his trunk; or would the world care much
if his trunk were filled with Nitro-glycer
ine, and that "Howard" went up with it?
" Of all the ills that that e'er beset a town or
mart,
None worse than "Howard," none so dirty,
proud or smart ?"
Admitting for a moment that our city is
uncleanly, Admitting
" Howard " was just the
right man in the right place.
Suppose " Howard" had been overcome
with the heat, would the sun have stood
still on the morrow, or would the Codorus
have changed to blood?
Is Wilmington to be disgraced with his
" dirty linen" when he makes his next con
sequential tour. Shall we ne'er more see this
" Snarling Towser," when ho leaves his
New York kennel again.
Howard complains of "stale vegetables
and warm lime water. 'Would ye cast your
pearls before swine ?
We think that York and her inhabitants
will survive these terribly "sarkastic" cuts,
and have strength, energy and vivacity
enough to kick such snapping curs when
ever they may chance to stray this way.
We pity " Howard, we do, and we are
confident that if Napoleon knew of his ex
traordinary ability, ' underwear" and all,
that he would tender him the imperial
crown—either that or something else.

How Ormms SEE Us.—The U. S. Rail
roaa and Mining Register, the great railroad
organ of the United States, a great tariff ad
vocate, and which circulates very largely in
Europe contains a long editorial giving a
sketch of a trip " From Philadephia to Chi
cago and Back." This paper re-produced
in full our report of the tariff mass meet
ing, an important fact which we have hith
erto neglected to refer to.
After leaving Philadelphia, the tourist
says;
We wind about, amon ,-, suburban settle

Mn. G. T. FOBES, delivered a lecture on

and attentive audience.
THE LAST SEntinm—Rev. B. J. Douglass
delivered his farewell sermon on Sabbath
morning in the Episcopal church, his sub
ject being "The Episcopal Church, the
only remedy for the evils of Secturiarism."
His sermon was based on the words, " Be
hold I come q nickly : bold that fast which
thou hnst, that no man take thy crown.—
Rev. HI, 11.
Mr. Douglass, opened his discourse by
referring to his teachings lately. of the
church of the living God, of the grand fun
damental doctrines to which it is necessary
to hold fast, if we would at last receive the
Crown of Eternal Life. I have spoken of
that faith in Christ which wo as Christians
all feel and know to be essential to our en
trance into heaven. These topics have not
been referred to once or twice, but have
formed the main substance of my preach
ing, so that I can not reprove mysell with
not being true to the great end of preaching
of not holding up Jesus Christ and him
crucified as the only refuge for lust and
guilty sinners, and his life as the true ideal
of growth in grace.
I dwell this morning at least upon two or
three points which, though of inferior -
penance to the proclamation of the vital
doctrines of salvation, are becoming daily
of greater moment in the Christian church.
I will invite your attention to my remarks
this morning, which I will group under
two heads : I.—The Episcopal form of gov
ernment, as the only authoritative basis of
union in Christendom ; 2.—The Book of
Prayer is the great safeguard next to the
Bible against false doctrine and fanaticism.
Of these two principles our church has
always been the conservator, and the wis
dom and soundness of her policy are every
day becoming more evident. The fact is
that Christian people have become weary of
sectarianism. They are beginning to see
the evil of this state of things, that it is a
hindrance to the work of Christ, a blot upon
the fair fume of religion; and an occasion of
stumbling and offense to the sinner. God
is not the author of confusion. Jerusalem
is built as a city, that is an unity with itself;
The folly of sectariarism is seen in the
great division of God's people, and the
meagre support which the divided house
hold yields to the church. The estranged
mass of the people,are befogged and bewild
ered as to what course they shall pursue,
and float from one church to another as ca
price or humor may dictate.
The speaker referred to these divisions as
great drawbacks in the advancement of the
church, as unnecessary, and hoped that in
the evangelization of the West that there
may be a air clearer setting forth of the de
sign of religion than the miserable carrica
tion that is presented in Eastern villages.
The speaker next referred to the broad and
general principles of the Episcopal church,
and the tendency of its worship. His dis
course was listened to with marked atten
tion, and we regret that we have not space
for its full publication. In closing, he said :
But Brethren, I must close; neither time,
nor my tailing strength will permit me to
say much more. I believe that I have not
labored here in vain.
Glad would I feel, could I had done more.
I am thankful for what God has enabled
mo to do; I believe that Providence had a
work for mo here. I believe that work is
done. You are now by his blessings in a
good working condition, and it will be your
own fault if yon do not step forward to a
future,brighter with blessings than the past.
Such I believe will be your happy lot. For
that end you have my prayer and sym
pathy. I have preached to you the simple
gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Some
have received the word spoken and have
confessed in the way of his appointed ordi
nances. Others are still out of the fold yet
perhaps thoughtful and undecided.
May they soon cast in their lot among the
people of God. As years roll on and bring
us to our final account it will be a real grat
ification to hear of one by one added to the
church.
1 thank you all for the kindness you have
constantly showed and which has made my
sojourn. among you a most happy one and
one upon which it will be a comfort to look
back. May the Lord give us all needful
blessings, brio"' ' us at last to our home of
blessedness in heaven. Finally, brethren,
farewell. Be perfect, be of goodl comfort,
be of one mind, live in peace, and the God
of love and peace shall be with us, amen.
The Landisville Camp Meeting.
The camp meeting commenced on Tues
day, and Will continue till Thursday nest
Aug. 4th.
The Camp is located in a beautiful shady
grove of hickory and oak, about threj
fourths or a mile from the Landisville sta
tion on the Pennsylvania railroad, and two
handed yards from the Harrisburg turn
pike. The grand auditorium is in the form
of a square, supplied with a sufficient num
ber of board seats to accommodate about
4,000 persons. The ground slopes gradual
ly, the pulpit being located at the lowest
point, and capable of seating thirty or forty
ministers. La front of the pulpit is the al
tar of sufficient size to admit 200 persons.
Around the square are arranged a large
number of tents facing inwards, with
streets dive'rging in different directions.
The most of the tents are army wall tents,
and as a general thing are floored, and
many of them carpeted and furnished with
beds, camp-stools and other turniture.
The Columbia Pon"Tegation, under the
charge alley. S. IL C. Smith, have 27 tents
and are located on the left of the pulpit.
The Duke street church of Lancaster has
about .0 tents on the right or the pulpit.
Rev. Mr. Thompson's Locust street church
has 2-i tents; Rev. Mr. Rakestraws, St.
Paul's, Harrisburg has IS. G ritlith's Ridge
Avenue and Mr. Johnson's Lochiel and
Baldwin, also of Harrisburg, are represent
ed. Rev. Mr. Montgomery of Middletown,
has 7 or S tents, Rev. Mr .Hysinger, of Mt.
Joy, about half a dozen. Rev Mr. Elliott,
of 'Lebanon, 3 or 4. Rev. Mr Kenny's St.
Paul's church of Lancaster has a row tents
on the lino in the rear of the pulpit. Many
other churches in the district are represent
ed, but we did not learn their names or the
number of tents, making all together
about 170 tents.
A large shed in the rear of the pulpit has
been erected, in which to hold prayer meet
ings, and there are also large tents on the
ground iu connection with :he different sta
tions to be devoted to the 811.M0 use. Two
largo boarding touts have been put up, one
by Mr. Daniel McCauley, of Columbia, that
will seat about 300, the other by Valentine
Hoffman of Lancaster.
Two patent pumps have been sunk on the
grounds, but they we.e said to afford an in
adequate supply of water. One or more
wells are being dug, and at the lower end of
the camp is a large never-failing, spring of
excellent water. AR the neighboring
houses have good pumps or springs, and it
is thought that there will be uo scarcity of
water, no matter how great the crowd in at
tendance may be. No accouttnedation for
the care of horses, we believe, has been pro
vided by the committee, but the stables of
Landisville and and the neighboring public
houses will perhaps be found sufficient for
those who attend in private carriages.
The camp at night will be lighted by large
fires kindled on elevated platforms, and
supplied with wood and rosin, which will
no doubt present a very beautiful and pie
turesque appearance. The pulpit will be
lit up with coal oil lamps with porcelain
shades.
The management of the camp ground is
under the charge of 21 committee of arrange
ments appointed for the purpose.
There will be family devotion in each tent
cv ry morning at six o'clock, aud . public
pr a yer meeting at S o'clock. Preach le wit
take place at In, A. M., and 3 and
each day.
Printed rules and regulations for the
government of the camp meeting have been
lsvueft, and an efficient police force estab
lished for the preservation of good order.
A state law prohibits the sale oral! intox
icating liquors within three miles of the
camp ground, except by licensed tavern
keepers and others in pursuit of their u s ual
employment.
Any one erecting a tent, booth or feller
place for the purpose of soiling any articles
of traffic,without such authority, forfeits the
same to the Directors of the Poor, it he per
sists in maintaining the same, and selling
after being rota tied not to do so.
The Messrs. /,ether are running a line of
omnibuses to the camp ground, leaving
Lancaster at 6 o'clock A. NI., and returning
at S P. M, No special trains have been
placed on the railroad, but persons can
reach the grounds on the regular trains of
the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Read
ing A; Columbia Railroad. On Sunday no
trains will stop at the camp.

Columbia has changed but little in five

ognition by the subscriber. A.nd yet a
change is visible, for were it otherwise it
would be in a truly deplorable state. Cow

ITS CIIANnTS
Among the visible changes in this pros
perous borough, may be mentioned the
fact of a thorough and efficient preparation
to meet conflagrations, sometimes so dis
astrous to corporations and even cities
where the Steam Firo Engine is .not avail
able. Of the merits of either I know noth
ing—it is sufficient to see the pride dis
played by the members of each, and their
spirited vi9ing for efficient honors. A new
engine house on Second street does credit
to tho "Vigilant,' and shows signs of being,
when completed, a tolerably handsome,
and creditable structure both to the coin
pany.-and builders. Two Fire engines,
worked by steam power, are a sufficiency
for this place. They are known, respect
ively, as the "Columbia" and "Vigilant,"
but no doubt, both are very vigilant in
their watch upon that terrible enemy, for
the'subjugation of which they were origi
nally intended and created.
ITS PROSPECTLVE DEPOT.
A new depot, also, needs attention. I
say a new d-pot, not with the design of
misleading the reader in the belief that
there ever was an old one here, but simply
to show the fact that the Penna. R. R. Co.,
in consideration of the comfort of its trav
eling public, as well as the enhancement
of its properties in and around the place,
commenced its erection. It will be of sand
stone and Penna. marble (a hard limestone,
which might in the course of geological
changes be wrought into a kind of marble.)
Be this as it may, the intention of the Co.
and the contractor is• to rear an imposing
edifice, and its completion will be hailed
with delight by all, and no one more than
the inditer.
=
A new market house graces the upper
portion of the borough, and is a credit to
the growing prosperity of the inhabitants.
A Town Hall and Masonic Temple, is soon
to be erected, and if the drawings are to be
relied upon the, edifice will stand second
to none in the state for beauty of design
and exquisite finish. I may have a chance
to say more of• this hereafter; let this suf
fice for the present.
=
A very noticeable feature is the morals
of the inhabitants. All to a certain extent
seem imbued with the recognized Christian
principles of the age, and seek to follow
that important injunction to "do unto thy
fellow man, as thou wouldst have him do
to thee." (This rendition I brought from
the Quaker city.) Of course, there are
some wayward young men,
but these are
found in all well appointed communities,
and why should they be exempt front Co
lumbia?
=EI
The cemetery has been greatly enlarged.
improved and beautified ; presenting to the
citizen as well as the stranger a " garden of
the dead," second to none in appearance,
west of Philada. To look at the vines
blooming in all their luxuriance of ripest
vitality, clinging for support to the cold
slab of marble or brown-stone which marks
the work of death ; to see the rose trees
cast their shadows over silent graves, even
as death had cast its gloomy shadows over
the inmates, and to see the rustle of the
leaves of the shade trees,
as the winds waft
a sweet requiem for "those who sleep," is
but to remind us of the truth that "in the
midst of life we are in death." Here, as in
other places of the kind,the living aro prone
to linger around the mounds of the loved
ones dead, and plant choice flowers and
shrubbery, in order to show their appro
elatiop,of 11 i, nds and dear ones passed for
ever "beyond the river of death."
I==
It is a disagreeable duty to chronicle the
fact that Columbia has a number of Sun
day Mnte•rs and vagabonds who congregate
around the precincts of this beautiful ",,ar
den of the dead," and not only mutilate,
but steal the flowers and shrubbery over
the graves, lite:ally removing the very roots
in order to successfully accomplish then•
base designs. The grave of Mrs. N. Mc-
Donald has lately been desecrated in this
way. A rose bush of rare value has been
stolen by the miserable pirates, and al
though tho party is well known to Mr. N.
McDonald, he forbears a prosecutiell in the
vain hope that It may be returned. It
would be best to prosecute the villain to
the utmost extent of the law, and teach a
lesson yet unlearned by these loafers, that
the eyes ofjustiee, at least, are always open
to their actions. If the bush is not returned,
however, within a very short tune. the of
fender will be exposed to the pubbc
through the columns of the press, and then
be pre s et:m.4l to the utmost extent of the
law. "A word to the wise," should be stir
ticient.
TILE ..tiOLIANQUINTETTE CLI7I
The ftuintette Club, under the
leadership of Prof. Benj. Unsold, is a cred
itiible fixture to the borough, and com
posed, us it is, 01 honest, unassunn gen
tlemen of rare musical attainments, must
eventually prove a source of great pleasure
to all who elijoy a season of delightful vo
calisms. I had tbQ pleasure or feasting my
musical sensibilities to an intoxicating full
ness on Monday evening, and herewith
return thanks to the following gen
tlemen composing the club, for so rare a
feast: S. B. and T. J. Cleppor ; T. J. Wright
and 13. V. Mullen. The leader was absent
front the city. There is room for improve
ment, however, mid with a little diligent
attention and practice they may rank sec
ond to no oilier club of the kind in the
country. Tho material is there, and should
be worked up
=
A nuisance should al ways be cried down.
I think every one of my readers will join
me in this. Columbia has a grave nuisance
directly in its limits, and one which seems
to be tolerated by the authorities. I am
sorry to see it, particularly during the
heated term. The butchers sell good beef,
bat that is no reason why they should be
allowed to slaughter their cattle in the very
heart of the town. No other village, bor
ough or city, in the country would tolerate
the nuisance for a week, and why should
they do it in Columbia. The stench aris
ing from the precincts of this bed of decay
ing animal matter is enough to engender a
serious disease, if not an epidemic, and
yet the people seem to rest quietly with
their windows open, inhaling, in the full
ness of a blissful pleasure, the delightful
aromas i p regnatin the ai rin and around
the most re.q.ietable portion of the borough.
If they enjoy it, then, of course, it becomes
a matter of choice, and 1 have no reason to
complain. If it is a matter of choice with
the people, I must acknowledge that in
this, at least, I cannot agree with them. I
much prefer the aroma of sweet lie wers.
A FINE r-SrABLISIDISNT.
It is not customary to indulge in an ex
travagance of newspaper puflings, and I
ant sure I do not propose to attempt it, but
when we see a spirit of enterprise, a certain
go-a-headative spirit in any one, it should
be encouraged. I have traveled consider
ably /11'01111d the country, but for the size
and business push of the place, I do not
remember having seen a more complete
anti well appeinte I establishment than
that 01 :qr. J. Fendrich's, cor. Locust and
Front streets. The store is replete in every
thing to make it attractive and pleasant,
while the stock is of a class second to none
Mend in the largest cities of the country.
This is no idle review, 115 a glance will con
vince the visitor of its truth. Mr. Fen-
lru•h is a Marylander by birth, but for the
pa.t V•eur., luui been it valuable ea
zen of Columbia, her, more of the same

his way to Ilarrisburg. I had the pleasure
of an acquaintance at the der 01, and found
him in every respect as represented abroad
as well as at home, a courteous, unassum

lic need have no fear to place their trust.
1 understand he is it candidate for Congress
from the ninth district of this state, with
everything working favorable to his suc
cess. Ho will oppose Mr. Dickey tile pres

true republican, a true man, and an edu

DEATH. OF G. C. FRAsCISCUS. — • It is a
painful duty to announce the death of G. C.
Pranciscus, Esq., General Agent of the
Penna. R. R. at Cresson Pa.. on the morn
ing of the 23rd, between 2 and 51 o'clock P.
M., in the 48th year of his age. We clip
the following brief history of his life from
one of the Ptiiladat.
When a boy, Mr. Franeiseus entered the
counting house of R. S. Reed, (now of Philada)
who was then engaged in the transportation
business at Columbia. It was in this position
EMS!
that M. F. first acquired a taste for the railroad
business. When Mr. Reed withdrew from the
transportation business, Mr. Franciscus, or
"Charlie," as ho was always familiarly called,
entered the employmen t,of E..J. Snyder, at Co
lumbia; and when the Penna. Railroad Co,
purchased the canal lines, lie was employed by
them as their freight agent at, Baltimore, in
November,lBs2, the duties of which he faithfully
carried out until January 1, int, when he was
transferred to a similar position at Pittsburg.
At this point ho remained until the Penna. R.
It. Company became the owners of the Colum
bia railroad, when he was placed in charge
thereof, with title of Superintendent of the Phil
adelphia Division of the Penna. Railroad.
This post he held until January I, 1866, when lie
was appointed to that of general agent at Phil
adelphia. It will thus be seen that he had been
in the service of the company for a period of
nearly eigl teen years. In the early part of
IBS7 he found his health failing him and Jour
neyed to the South for the benefit thereof, where
he remained through the Summer. Returning,,
lie obtained additional leave of absence and
made a voyage to Europe, where he remained
until the fall of 1368, returning seemingly a new
man, When seen by oxe or the officers of the
road last Wednesday at White Hall, lie proposed
going to Cresson, to remain there four weeks
with his family, and did leave for that place In
the Erie train at half-past eleven A. M. As to
he exact time of his death it is impossible to
determine, there being no struggle.
Mrs. Franciscus woke up about 2 o'clock, and
gave him some medicine according to direc
tions of the attending physician. Between
that hour and 5 o'clock, Sir. F. died, quietly and
peacefully.
Mr. Franciscus was a most estimable gentle
man, quiet, unobstruslve, kind and generous
almost to a fault, and most highly esteemed
not only by the Company, but by all who were
so fortunate ns to have the slightest acquaint
ance with him.
Ills funeral took place on Tuesday, from his
residence, 1122 Chestnut street. It win attended
14y a large number of persons, including many
of the officers and employees of the road with
which Mr. F. had been identified for so many
years. Deceased was laid out in a plain black
suit of raiment, and looked as natural as life,
there:being no marks whatever of the struggle
candor which he had succumbed. He presented
an appearance of one not dead, but slumbering.
The remains were contained in a handsome
black cloth covered coffin, with silver mount-
At the head of the coffin stood a flora
crown, .surmounted with cross of immortellcs
Around the coffin were placed wreaths, a cross
and an anchor of the choicest flowers and Im
mortells—all the spontaneous gifts of Icind am
loving hands.
The funeral services at the house were con
ducted by Rev. Dr. IL A. Boardman, assisted by
Rev. It. Owen of Chestnut MU. The former, in
very feeling remarks referred to the virtues of
the deceased. Ile said that every man who
knew Mr. F. was his friend. For one so CX tell
sively acquainted and constantly in Intercourse
wit it all manner of business men It frequently
occurred that the best of feeling could not exist
among all. In the case of the deceased It w.ss
different. ICe had no enemies but all wore his
friends. It seemed to occasion hint pain when
he saw a fellow being sufr,,wing and it was not
in his power to render hint aid. Such men as
Mr. Franciscan; are seldom met, with in busi
ness rerattom. The speaker knew that the
greatest confidence was reposed in him by the
leading men of the railroad company, and he
had heard it said that great respect was paid to
his opinions. Unlike other persons he had not
been spoiled by prosperity. As he appeared
twenty years ago so be appeared up to the time
of his death.
The reverend gentleman alluded to the sad
ne attending, the death of Mr. F.,
whereby the family were deprived of the inter
change of farewell words. With words of com
fort to those suffering by the sudden death of
Mr. Franciscus, Rev. Dr. Boardman concluded
his remarks.
An linpresive prayer was then offered up by
Rev. Mr. Owen, after which the body was re
"moved from the house, and the funeral proces
sion formed. The funeral cortege was a large
one. It proceeded to Lauren:rill, where tile in
terment took place. Here religious service
were conducted by Rev. Mr. Owen.
About tO cif the relatives and friends of the
deceased, from Columbia, were conveyed to
Philada., in a special car, and returned with the
Cineinnti Express to Lancaster in the even
ing. A locomotive was sent down to bring the
car to Columbia, and arrived here about 11;30.
Among those Nrho attended the funeral we
noticed the following:—II. J. Lominert, Major
T. T. Firth, Treasurer ; A. J. Cassatt, Theodore
Cuylcr, Solicitor; Enoch Lewis, General Agt.;
William F. Lockard, Superintendent Philada.
Division ; S. A. 13Iack, Superintendent Middle
Division; H. H. Houston, General Freight Agt.
of Union and Empire lines ; Messrs. E. Hershey,
B. F. Mayer, E. K. Bolee and D. F. Griffith, the
officials here.

(run Vrt.txcig.—A map publisher who
must have been studying the census of 1820
or 1830 writes to us from Lebanon to know
" how long since a map of our village was
published, and 1 * = if we think it would pay
to get up a map of this village." This is
rich(ie) and no cunning hand would !MVP
made such inquiries about a town of from
8,000 to 9.000 inhabitants.
For the information of our correspondent
we would state that Mr. 13. F. Rowe, has re
cently published a map of this place as well
as of our neighboring town of Wrightsville.
"It is an ill wind that blows nobody
good," an old trite saying, which is likely
to be verified in the case of James Hilton,
Esq., of Glasgow, in Pottsgrove township,
Montgomery Co., this State. The loss sus
tained by bun last fall, when his mill darn
was washed away by the great freshet, is in
part compensated for by a large mineral
deposit which was found in bed of the dam
The mineral consists of iron, iron ore, and
slag or cinders, evidently the refuse or par
tially worked up ore and metal, from the
old Glasgow Forge, which was erected on
the Maxatawny Creek more than a century
and a half ago, and operated for a. long
period of years. There are hundreds, or
perhaps thousands of tons of this slog, arid
it is of so much value and important that
Mr. Hilton received an offer of $2 per ton
for it where it lies, or $4 per ton delivered
on the ears at Pottstown, from John Wood
Bro.. iron workers at Conshohocken, and
has accepted the former offer of $2 per ton.
The purchaser is now busily engaged in
taking it away, and removes it at the rate
of about til teen tons per day.—Ledger.

IMPORTANT TO INVENTORS
AND PATENTEES.
Bazaar and Sales Rooms
529 Che,.•tnxt St., Philadqpiiia
No FEE, IN ADVANCE.
The undersigned would respecttully inform the
public that they have opened an establishment
under the above title, where Inventors, Paten
tees And Owners of Patents are free to resort
for the negotiation of the sale.: of their Inven
tion and Patents.
The feature of this Bazaar consists in this,
that Inventors, Patentees and Owners of Pat
ents and Inventions may transact their busi
ness and effect sales themselves, without any
interference on the part of the Proprietors. On
such sales they charge no commission whatever
nor do they tisk registration or like fees, nor
any commissions in advance. believing it to be
unfair to ask pay for services not yet rendered.
13ut if any of their Patrons desire to employ
them as their personal agents, for the sale of
their interests, the Proprietors will then charge
such commissions as many be mutually agreed
upon. The only charge made by this 'Establish
ment is for the Storage of Models and Machin
ery of all size, on exhibitions therein, as follows:
FROM TWENTY-FIVE (25) CENTS TO ONE DOL
LARS PER WEJtK Pmt SQUARE FOOT OF SPACE.
For this very small compensation the Models
and Machines are kept in good order and their
Workings completely explained to the numer
ous visitors of the Bazaar and brought forward
to the best advantage, with a view to prepar
ing the way to eventual sales.
An experienced PATENT LAWYER and an
able CONSULTING ENGINEER, are attached
tothis establishment, thus enabling the under
signed to procure. at all times, the best legal and
practical advice to their Patrons. The Patronage
of all is respectfully solicited.
