It is stated in dispatches received here from Erie,
that no further opposition will be offered to the
carrying out of the decisions of the courts. Indeed,
it is understood that the New York Companies, in
view of the passage of the bill annulling the char
ter of the Franklin' Canal Company, (io which the
House wilF probably concur on Monday next,)
have offered terms of compromise likely to lead
to a settlement of all, disputes.
There is no apprihension of the interference of
the General Government in a question so purely
local. Gov. Bigler is still in Washington, but is
expected home to•morrw.
Emu, Jan. 2 I.—Thr Railroad excitement still
continues here; last night the effigy of J, H. ItValk
er, the Director of.the Erie and Northeast Railroad
was bung to the lamb of a tree. The effigy was la
belled "Father of the Gange Law."

AWFUL TORNADO IN ou/o—Yesterday after
noun this section of the country was visited by the
Heaviest storm of wind, rain, thunder and light
ning, that we have experienced since 1828. A
perfect tornado was experienced some six miles
smith of this. The town of Brandon was almost
entirely destroyed, scarcely a house being left to
mark the site Of the place. Dr. Wheaton was se
riously if not fatally; injured, and Mrs. Smi:h was
ate? badly hurt. The tornado was about half a
mile wide, tearing up everything in its track; but
the full extent oldie damage we have not yet been
able to learn.
.
Our.streams have overflowed their banks, and
Ebenezer Jenkins, while attempting to cross Arm
strong river last evening, was thrown from his bug
gy and drowned. Buckingham 4....C0. , s stable was
struck by lightning and destroyed.. The lower
part of our town was almost inundated by the tre
mendous quantity of rain that fell, and our streets
look more like rivers than thoroughfares. The
damage must be very heavy, as the section through
which the storm passed was thickly settled,:
TUNNEL ON THE PENNSELVANIA RAILROAD.-

31st of Dee., 1852, 46—making the above total in Prison,
in 1853, 516; as per table N 0.2. Table No. 3 shows how
the 453 discharged prisoners were disposed of. Table No.

and 11 in Germany. Table N 0.7 their ages. About two
thirds of the whole number, vii: 31, were under the age
of thirty years. Table No. 8 bow often they have been
csmeicusi Table NO. 9, showing the occupations of the
prisoners prior to their conviction—exhibiting the large
proportion of 30 in the 47 who were without trades. Ta
ble No. 10 shows the number that can read and write—
more than half the number not being able to senile, and
17 who cannot read. Table No.ll shows how many were
married—but 24 of the 47 had been married. Table No.
12 shows their occupation while in confinement. And
Table So 13 the number of utedlad cues. treated. Com
pared with the previous year, there.. ere 11 less received
in 1883 than in 1882, and 16 more remaining in Prison
at the close of the former than at the dose of the latter
year. . .
There were besides the convictions for the usual crimes
3 convicted for horse stealing, 3 for kidnapping, 1 for
perjury and 1 for rape.
The general health of the prisoners during the past
year has been good. The number of cases treated was
but 94—that of the previous year 102. The sums of these
94 cases came into the Prison Ina disordered and diseased
condition, resulting from the dissipation and irregularity
of their lives. One prisoner died of Mania a Foal. For
details on this subject see Table No: 13, containing Phy
sician's Report. Thorn were no cases of insanity devel
oped in the Prison during the past year. • , _
The Inspectors in their last Annual Report, had occa
sion to deplore the unusally large number of Vagrants,
" housed, warmed and fed at the public expense," during
the previous year, as peculiarly burdensome and expen
sive. This cause of complaint, although not entirely re
moved, has greatly abated during the past year as will
be seen by reference to table No. I—by which ieappears
there were confined In that period but 33 Vagrants and
9 drunken and disorderly persons; which contrasted with
the 87 of the previous year, shows a reduction in the past
year of more than one half of that of the former year.
This decrease in Vagrancy, the Inspectors believe, is at
tributable to the beneficial operation of the sth section
of the Act of Assembly of March 31,1853, by which it is
provided, " That any person or persons- who may be
convictedtinder existing laws, before the Mayor or any
Alderman of the City of Lancaster, or any Justice of the
Peace of Lancaster County, as a Vagrant, drunken or
disorderly person, shall, for the first -offence, be sen
tenced to confinement at hard labor in the Lancaster Co.
Prison, for any term not exceeding one month; and for
the second offence, fur any term not exceeding 2 months;
and for every subsequent offence, for any term not lees
than 1 nor more than 3 months," ,kc. As under this
law Vagrants, and drunken and disordeily persons are
committed for the second and subsepient offences to 60
and 90 days, the County is relieved of this onerous charge
—ln this length of confinement at hard labor, affording
a sufficient length of time to enable them to acquire such
skill in the simpler occupations of the Prison, as to be
able to earn as much as to pay for their maintenance.
The like gratifying decrease in drunkenness does not ap
pear to have taken place, as those committed for that of.
fence in the year just closed were 180-i-being 15 more
than the previous year.
-In the beneficial workings of the separate confinement
system during tie past year, and its wholesome effects
upon those prisoners who have, for any length at time,
been subjected to its discipline, the Inspectors have had
further evidence of its adaptation to the reformation of
criminals and the prevention of crime, and unabated
confidence in its superiority over every .n.her system.
The accompanying statemests, marked by the letters of
the alphabet, relate to the financial affairs and manufac
turing operations of the Prison during the past year, and
contain much interesting information touching the sub
jects. Statement A. shows that the cash paid out on Or

This is 543102 loss than the average of the previous
year. This sum, the Inspectors have every reason to be
lieve, will her eafter be annually further diminished.
Statement 1' shows the amount paid to convicts and pris
oners for over work, to wit: 017067.
Statements S, T, U, V and W, show the progress made
in manufacturing in the Prison during the year. It ays
pears by these statements, that there were made 7.707
yds of Carpet for customers; 10,304 yds do for sale; 9120
yds Lancaster County Stripe; 200 yds Lancaster County
Check; 530 pairs of Boots and Shoes; 19 Fishing Nets;
3,004 1 4 yds of Bagging; 27 doe Bags; 46,550 Sugars;
42,600 Skivers, and sundry other articles.
These statements compare favorably with the corres
ponding statements of our last Annual Report, and show
a large increase, during the year, in all the branches of
manufacturing, which, they doubt not, will continue in
creasing annually, until, as they predicted in their last
Annual Report, "the products of the manufacturing in
dustry-6f the prisoners will yield revenue proximately
sufficient to defray the expenses." 'While there. has been
such a large increase in the quantity mandfactured, there
is a no less marked improvement In quality and style.
The fabrics of the Lancaster County Prison, especially in
the articles of Carpets and Stripes, will not suffer in com
parison with the similar fabrics regular manufactories.
Much of the credit of the management of the Prison,
during the period embraced in this Report, is due to the
care and attention exercised by the Keeper and his as
sistants in Um performance of their duties.
All of which is respectfully submitted. , .

even after having been given up by .other physi
cians of acknowledged skill and eminence. Dr.
Weeks is not a stranger among you, but a physician

very extensive practice in this and the adjoining
states. His success in the treatment of all chronic
diseases has been unexampled, as hundredu are

readers. It is free from all objectionable matter,

placing it into the hands of his sons. The author
has devoted many years to this treatment of the
various complainfS treated of, and, with too little
breath to puff, and too little presumption to im
pose, he has offered to the world, at the merely
nominal price of 25 cents, the fruit of some twenty

A Presbyterian clergyman in Ohio, writing of
'Hunter's Medical Manual" says:—" Thousands
upon thousands of our youth, by evil example and
influence of the passions, have been led into the
habit of self-pollution, without realizing the sin
and fearful consequences upon themselves and
their posterity. The constitution of thousands who
are raising families have been enfeebled, if not bro
ken down, and they do not kcow the cause or the
curd. Anything that can be done so to enlighten
and influence the public mind as to check, and
ul
timately to removeahis wide-spread source of hu-
I - man wretchedness, would cooler the greatest bles
sing next to the religion of Jesus Christ, on the
present and coming generations. Intemperance (or
the use of intoxicating drinks) though it has slain
thousands, is not a greater scourge to the human

Ist. It is based upon the tact what we see is sel
dom forgotten. Therefore, large, distinct, and bril
liantly_ colored maps are used, on which every ob
ject is boldly deleniated.
2. The mind makes involutarily a greater and
more successful effort to retain the name of an ob
ject, when that name is not affixed to it for future
reference. The experiment, fairly tried, always
verifies this lact It is on this account that they
are outline maps.
3d. Classification, as an aid to memory is al
ready thoroughly appreciated. For this reason,
the Names of all Countries, Rivers Mountains,
Islands, Capes, Seas, &c., on a dap, are class
ed and recited together.
4th. Words, strange, difficult, and of unusual
pronunciation, are made familiar by repeating them
several times over. In order that large classes
mayilo this together, chants are recommended,
though not insisted on.
sth. No exercise exerts so powerful an influence
over the young as singing, and when it can be prof
itably incorporated with a lesson, the hour for re
citing will be anticipated with the most intense
eagerness. Knowing this the author has assumed
the immense labor of maaing a repetition of each

Henry's Invigorative Cordlat.
Purely Vegetable p its Composition. This
invaluable Cordial, is extracted from Herbs and
Route, which have been found alter years of expe
rience, by the Most skillthl i'hyaicians, to be pos
sessed of qualities moat beneficial in the diseases
for which it is recommended; and hence whilst it
is presented to the public, as an efficacious reme
dy, it is also known to be of that character on
which reliance may placed as to its safety. I case
Impotency, Hemorrhages, Disordered Sterility,
Menstruation, or Suppression of the Menses, Fluor
Albus or Whites, or fur DEBILITY arising Irom any
cause, such as weakness from sickness, where the
patient--has been - contied to bed for some time,

riage this. Cordial cannot be excelled in its salu
tary effects; or in loss of Muscular Energy, Irrita
bility, Physical Prostration, Semin al . Weakness,
Palpitation of the Heart, Indigestion, Sluggishness,
Decay of the Procreative, Nervousness, 4.c., where
a tonic Medicine is required,' it will be toned equal
if not superior to any compound ever used.
• To FEMALEB.—Llencre Invigorating Cordial, is
one of the most invaluable Medicines in the many
complaints to which females are subject. It as
sists nature to brace the whole system, check ex
cesses, and creates renewed health' and happiness.
Less suffering, disease and unhappiness among La
dies would exist„were they generally to adopt
the use of this Cordial. Ladies who are debilita
ted by those obstructions which females are liable
to, are restored by the use of a bottle or two, to
bloom and to vigor.
YOUNG MEN;—That solitary practice, so fatal to
the existence of man; and it is the young who are
most apt to become its victims, from an ignorance
of the danger to which they subject themselves,
causing Nzavous DEBILITY, Weakness of the sys
tem and Premature Decay. Many.of you may now
be suffering, misled as to the cause or source of
disease. To those, then, who by excess have brat"
on themselves Premature Impotency, Involuntary
Seminal Emiasiona, Weakness and Shrivelling of
the Genital Organs, Nervous Affection, or any oth
er isoneequeuces of unreitrained indulgence of the
sensual passions, occasioning; the necessity of re
nouncing the lelicities ofnitaitutoz,lessening both
mental and bodily capacity, hold: Henry's invig
orating Cordial, a medicine that le purely Vegeta
ble, will aid nature to restore those important iunc-
Lone to a !malty state and will prove of service to
you. It possesses rare virtues, is egeneral remover
of disease, and strengthener of the spawn as a
Toxic MEDICINE, it is unsurpassed.. We do not
place this Cordial on a footing with quack medi
cines, and, as is customary, append a long list of
Recommendations, Certificates, 4-c., beginnig with
'Hear what the Preachers say!., , and such like; it is
not necessary; for Henry , . Invigorating Cordial,
only needs a trial to prove that it will accomplish
all we say. The genuine "Henry's Invigorating
Cordial," is put up in 8 oz. Panne] Bottles, and is
easily recognized by the Manufacturer's signature
