Mount Joy, on the 4th of July last, the day of a firemen's parade in that borough. The testimony pretty conclusively proved that Seltzer had trahenstadt's watch, and that on the day mentioned they were both "high," or "how come you so." On Wednesday morning, the Jury returned a verdict of guilty, and counsel for defendant moved for a new trial. Benjamin Kapp, was charged with stealing two turkeys Isoin Joseph Brill, who resides in Dauphin vont] ty, mar the Lancaster count %- line.

THE UNITED AMERICAN MECHANICS : The State Council of Pennsylvania, held its regular semi-annual session at I Earrisburg, on Friday last. About one hundred Councils were represented and the proceedings were interesting. In the evening a complimentary banquet was given to the members of the State Council by the subordinate Councils of Har risburg, at t he State Capitol I Intel, over which Governor Geary presided. After the cloth had been removed loud calls were made for Governor Cleary, who responded in a very neat and appropriate address welcoming the State Council to the Capitol, and referred in fitting terms to the origin and growth of the Order. Addresses were made by Messrs. Jenkins, A. C. Smith, E. H. _Rauch, S. A. Wylie, E. E. Snyder, and others. Songs were snug by - Messrs. Server and 'Barker. Toasts were offered and responded to, and at a late hour the company dispersed highly pleased with the, incidents and festivities of the occasion. The motto of the Order, " So briety," was strictly observed, as all intoxi cating drinks were entirely excluded. Is there any boy in Chillicothe, whose name is " Uli Damyer .."' We hear very loud calls for him occasionally from the little boys who congregate about the corners, and, particu larly when a dispute arises concerning any game in which they may chance to be engag ed. We judge front the frequency of these calls for him on occasions of this kind, that he must be a little fellow of vast judgment and wisdom, who is called upon to act as umpire. We hope " Uli " will always appear prompt ly hereafter, so that these good little boys won't have to call him so often. The older citizens of the place will f•el ptienlarly re lieved if lie will only do so.-Ch Gazelle. From the talk of the boys in the streets of Lancaster, it is highly probable that " Uli " has removed to this city. He is popular here, and as much the subject of conversation as he was in Chillicothe. MR. 13, H.
