LANCASTER HORSE MARKET, MONDAY,
MAY BTH, 1865.—The arrivals and sales
during the past week have been unusually
slim. The trade is apparently dull to some
extent, and as the Government hits no fur
ther need of horses, the trade, we fear, will
continue so fora short time at least.
Troues.—There have been but few ar
rivals during the week, which were to
Sharp Sc Co., mainly bought up in lots of
twos and threes. in the county. The only
foreign arrival was a pair of fine, superior
and handsome Northern Blooded Horses,
about six years old, named in honor of
Gene. Grant and Sherman. They were
brought by Chas. Underwood from New
York for Sharp ct Co. A car-load was
shipped on Tuesday, and several were sold
to parties in lots of ones and twos. 28 head
remain on hand. Sharp .:1; Co. will ship
another car-load on Wednesday.
Funk's.—The arrivals during the week
were Steckmen, with 17 head, from Bedford
county, and Logan t Steckinan, with 13
head, from Franklin county. The sales and
shipments amount to about 60 head. There
remains on hand about 22 head.
Leman oo.'B.—Arrivals were but IS
head, bought up in the county, and were
shipped for the Government to Harrisburg.
There are 6 head in the stable.
Qpeland ct Cline's.—No arrivals. About
16 head were bought up in the county, and
12 head were sold, leaving 8 head remain
ing in the stable.
A SommEß's TRIBUTE TO Tyra MEMORY
OF HIS COMMANDER.—We take pleasure in
recording a remarkable act of gratitude,
which we learned this morning, upon the
part of a private soldier, to the remains of
the lute, lamented General John F. Rey
nolds. Shortly before tile battle of Gettys
burg, in which the General lost his lite, this
soldier, then a member of Co. F, Ist Regi
ment Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, had
Occasion to ask a favor of the General,
which was granted. The thanks of the sol

said: "General, I shall never forget your'
A fter the death and burial of his beloved
commander and the expiration of his first
term of service, he re-enlisted in the Ist
Regiment of the Veteran Reserve Corps,
and shortly after wits taken prisoner with a
number of his comrades. After a long con
finement, he was released and taken to
Cutup Parole, at Annapolis, Md., where.he
learned of the interment of the remains of
the General in this city. He procured a
leave or absence Itr a few days and, after
arriving in this city, proceeded to the resi
dence of ex-Mayor Zimmerman, in com
pany with another soldier, and purchased a
very rare, costly and lutrMsome rose, which
lie conveyed to the cemetery and planted
upon the grave of the General. The name
or this soldier is Addison Gish, who is well
known throughout the city.
ACCIDENT ON TH E PENNSYLVANIA RAIL—
ROA D.-011 Sat tirMtv tnoruing last, between
2 and 3 o'clock, a serious accident occurred
to a freight train, on the Pennsylvania
Railroad, between Uollin's Station and Mid
dletown, which resulted in severely injur
ing the fireman, the killing of eight horses,
badly crippling four others, cued the destruc
tion of several cars. An axle of one of the
stone cars gave way, while the train VMS
moving very rapidly, which caused the cars
behind to run in. They were upset into
the canal and destroyed. (Me of the cars
contained 1.5 head of horses, brought from
the Western part of the State by Mr.
Wirkemuth, of Elizabethtown, this county,
who succeeded in saving only three of the
number. The name of the injured and un
fortunate fireman we were unable to learn.
I. 0. of 0. F.—The complimentary sup
per, given to the Officers of the Grand
Lodge, I. 11. of O. I'., upon the occasion of
their visit to this city, by the Lodges of this
lliStrict, on Saturday evening last, was a
grand affair. The supper was served up in
recherche style at Solomon Sprecher's Ex
change Hotel, East King street, and the
evening was passed very pleasantly and
harmoniously.
MARIETTA.—We paid a hasty business
visit on Friday to the flourishing borough
of Marietta. The town just now, however,
is exceedingly dull. The spring trade in
lumber has amounted to hardly anything,
in consequence of the damage done to the
canal by the recent heavy freshet, and be
cause sellers seem disposed to hold on,
waiting for an advance in prices. The
business men, notwithstanding, still expect
a "rush," and we hope they may not be
disappointed.
After transacting our business, and hav
ing a little spare time on hand, we strolled
around awhile, and have come to the con
clusion that Marietta is a rather pretty
town. There are several private residences
which would do credit to any city. That
of our old Democratic friend, Col. James
Duffy, on Market street, we consider one
of the handsomest in Lancaster county. It
is furnished throughout in magnificent
style, and.is lighted with gas manufactured
from benzine by an apparatus in the cellar.
The arrangement of the grounds and out
houses exhibit the highest degree of taste
and beauty. The Colonel and his accom
plished wife dispense the hospitalities of
their elegant home in genuine, hearty style.
The residence of Dr. William B. Fahue
stock, whilom of this city, is also a beauti
ful specimen of architecture, and the ar
rangement of the grounds is in every re
spect admirable and pleasing.
Whilst in Marietta we "put up" with
Mr. Lewis HottSeal. If any person wants
the best of fare, polite attention and the va
rious other et ceteras pertaining to a good
hotel, let them call upon Lew. Having
stopped there once, our word for it they
will call a second time. In brief, - he
"knows how to keep a hotel."
Our thanks are due Col. James Duffy,
Dr. John Huston, Mr. James McCann, Dr.
W. B. Fahnestock and Mr. Lewis Houseal
for courtesies extended. " May they live
a thousand years, and their shadows never
grow loss."
SPRING BONNETS AND FALSE HAUL-
The fashions this spring for ladies bonnets
are monstrously absurd in that most ca
pricious of all articles of female covering.
Heretofore the thing has retreated from the
forehead, with a high, rather capacious
front piece. This has been the repository
of flowers and all sorts of things vegetable
and floral, but all this is about to disappear.
The new Spring bonnet abandons all at
tempts at rising above the head of the fair
wearer. It clings close to the cranium, and
is little else than a delicate bit of gauze or
similar material, wrapped over the top of
the head and united in a huge bow
under the chin. If flowers are
used they adopt the exterior, not
the inside of the bonnet, for that is in
capable of embracing anything, except the
beautiful adornment which nature gives as
a covering to the head. It is a noticeable
fact, too, that curls have droped down upon
the shoulders of the fair sex, and splendid
tresses now adorn people formerly almost
destitute of hair. Such is the demand for
artificial curls that even the animal king
dom is brought in to supply this fashionable
female necessity. It is an old and a very
true saying that beauty unadorned is
adorned the most.
WILD PEPPERMINT AS A RAT EXTERSII
NATOR.—AIexander Robertson, writes to
the Canada Farmer:
I have for the last four years proved to
my satisfaction that the Wild Pepper
mint" is a sure and reliable exterminator
of rats. In proof of the fact, I will state
the result it has had with me. Four years
ago my barn was regularly infested with
rats ; they were so numerous that I had
great fears of my whole grain being de
stroyed by them, after it was housed ; but
having about two acres of Wild Pepper
mint that grew in a field of wheat, after the
wheat was harvested, the mint was cut and
bound with it, and it drove the rats from
my premises. I have not been troubled
with one since, nor am I at present, while
my neighbors have any quantity of them.
I feel confident that — any — perstin who is
troubled with these pests, could easily get
rid of them by gathering a good supply of
the mint and placing it round the walls or
base of their barns.
THE SABBATH SCHOOL CONVENTION.—
The Second Annual Convention of the Sab

JorI'INNS FOR. SUMMER.—We cut ;from
Hall's .Tmirnal c j Health a few words of ad
vice, satirical and otherwise, to those who
may be preparing to visit the country during
the hotter months. They are very gener
ally available, and may be at any rate pro
fitably considered by those they do not hit
too strongly :
1. In going to the country to spend your
summer, leave business behind, but take
with you your entire stock of patience,
courtesy, self-respect, and religion. Go as
plain "John Smith, gentleman."
2. If you have the first claim to be well
bred, yon will be the last person in the
world to volunteer any information on the
subject. If it must be told, let it be by
your conduct ; let your entire deportment
prove that you are a lady or a gentleman.
3. Do not profess that you "know" Mr.
Astor, Mr. Grinnell, Mr. Minturn, or other
distinguished citizens, when your entire
knowledge consists in their having been
pointed out to you on the street.
4. Avoid claiming acquaintance with this
or that family of note, when you only hap
pen to have spoken to them on a rail-car or
steamboat, or in some purely business trans
action. An enterprising individual once
claimed that he knew a distinguished judge
very well. On inquiry, it was found that
the said judge had once sent him to the
penitentiary.
5. If you - have the first mite of common
sense, and fully go to the country for recre
ation, enjoyment, and health, leave your
best and second-best clothing at home;
take only your common wardrobe, and but
a small part of that; not only that the per
sons you "stop with" may feel more easy,
but that you may feel freer yourself to scale
fences, climb trees, scramble up mountain
sides, wade across creeks, penetrate forest
tangles, and jump .Jini Crow generally.
6. Never turn up your nose at anything
at the table; if you have the slightestdispo
sition to do so, you may he sure it is a pug,
and isn't long enough to turn. If you don't
like a thing, let it alone; eat nothing, and
by the next meal you may be glad to get
anything.
i. Remember that in going to the coun
try a sensible man's object is neither to
dress nor eat, chiefly, but to obtain mental
repose, pure air, and unrestrained exercise.
8. Endeavor to conform, without apparent
effort, to the arrangemenLs of the family
with whom you board, and to the manners
and customs of the people around you, as
far as they do not compromise your prin
ciples of good morals and good taste.
9. Be cheerful, be kind, be considerate,
be accomodating.
10. Do not obtrude your political or re
ligious sentiments.
11. Shun argument and controversy on
any and all subjects.
12. Let your courtesy come out naturally;
and if religious, don't be a Pharisee.
NATIONAL DEBTS AND U. S. STOCKS.-
The creation of national debts is not a
modern improvement, but the ability of a
great nation to provide for a great debt,
and to make it the most convenient and
best form of personal property, is a modern
wonder. The debt of Great Britain was
begun by raising a million sterling by loan
in hO2, and when her great contest with
Louis XI V. was terminated, the debt had
reached fifty millions. Many statesmen
mid economists were then alarmed at the
great burden which had been imposed upon
the industry of the country, but when the
war of the Austrian succession had swelled
this amount to eighty millions, Macaulay
says Unit historians anti orators pronounced
the case to be desperate. But when wte
again broke out, and the national debt was
rapidly carried up to one hundred and forty
millions:, men of theory and business both
pronounced that the fatal day had certain
ly arrived. David Ilume said that, al
though, by taxing its energies to the ut
most, the country might possibly live
through it, the experiment must never be
repeated—even a small increase might be
fatal. Granville said the nation must sink
under it unless some portion of the load was
borne by the American Colonies, and the
attempt to impose this load produced the
war of the revolution, and, instead of di
minishing, added another hundred millions
to the burden. Again, says Macaulay, was
England given over, but again she was
more prosperous than ever before. But
when at the close of her Napoleonic wars
in 1516, this debt had been swelled up to
the enormous sum of over eight hundred
millions sterling, or four thousand three
hundred million dollars, or nearly one half
the entire property of the United Kingdom,
the stoutest heart, the firmest believer in
national progress and national develop
ment, might well have been appalled. But
in the very face of this mountain of obliga
tion—to say nothing of her vast colonial
possessions—the property of the nation has
been more than trebled, and her debts is
now a charge of but 121 per cent, against it.
All that Great Britain hits done in paying
her debt, we shall do, and more, with ours.
We have vast territories untouched by the
plow, mines of all precious metals of which
we have hardly opened the doors, a popu
lation full of life, energy, enterprise and in
dustry, and the accumulated wealth of
money and labor of the old countries pour
ing into the lap of our giant and ever-to-be.
united republic. During the fiercest and
'most exhausting of all possible wars, we
have demonstrated our national strength—
and all the world over, national strength is
but another name for national credit. "Ae
good as United Stocks" will soon be sy
nonymous the world over with "as good
asßri tish Consols." For our part, we think
a U. S. Treasury note, bearing seven and
three-tenths annual interest, is just as much
better than British Consols as the rate of in
terest is higher. Some of our timid breth
ren, who shipped their gold to London and
invested in consols, are now glad to sell out
and invest at home at a round loss—and
serves them right.

very gloomy and doubtful one. Consider
able corn has been planted, but less cotton
and sugar. An old planter told me he did
not believe the entire product of the sugar
crop of the in the parish of St. Charles this
year could more than supply the wants of
the people of the parish. There must,
therefore, be a great falling off in the culti
vation of the sugar cane this year over the

crop.

The Interbient of President Lincoln a
Springfield.
SPRINGFIELD, 111., May 4.—About noon ,
the remains of President Lincoln were
brought from the State House and placed in
the hearse. The funeral procession was un
der Major General Hooker, Marshal-in-
Chief, and Brigadier Generals Cook and
Oaks. The military and firemen appeared
finely, and the guard Of honor was the same
as during the entire route. The procession,
including the Governors of seven States,
members of Congress, State and municipal
authorities, delegations from adjoining
States, Free Masons, Odd Fellows, and citi
zens, including colored persons, arrived at
Oak Ridge Cemetery at 1 o'clock. On the
left of the vault in which the remains were
deposited, immediately on their arrival, was
a platform on which singers and an instru
mental band performed appropriate music.
On the right was the speaker's stand.
The vault is at the foot of a knoll in a
beautiful part of the ground,which contains
forest trees of all kinds. It has a cleric ga
ble, resting on pilasters, the main being
rustic in style. The vault is 15 feet high
and about the same in width, with semi
circular wings of brick projecting
from the hill side. The material is lime
stone, procured at Joliet, Illinois. Directly
inside of the ponderous doors, is an iron
grating. The interior walls are covered
with black velvet, dotted with evergreens.
In the centre of the velvet is a foundation
ofbrickwork, capped with a marble slab on
which the coffin rests. The front of the
vault is trimmed with evergreens.
The dead march in Saul was sung, ac
companied by the band, as the remains
were deposited.
Thousands of persons assembled at the
cemetery before the arrival of the proces
sion, and the scene was one of most intense
solemnity. The religious exercises were
commenced by the singing of a dirge. Then
followed the reading of appropriate portions
of Scripture and a prayer. After a hymn,
sung by the choir, Rev. Mr. Hubbard read
the last inaugural of President Lincoln.
Another dirge was sung by the choir, when
Bishop Simpson delivered a funeral ad
dress, which was, in the highest degree,
solemn and patriotic, and portions of it
were applauded. Another dirge and a
hymn followed, when the benediction was
pronounced by the Rev. Dr. Gurley. The
procession then re-formed and returned to
the city.
Condition of Mrs. Lincoln
Mrs. Lincoln is still confined to her
bed at the White House, and has been
greatly affected on Thursday from the
final obsequies of her illustrious hus
band being held at Springfield. Her
mind is, however, more composed than
heretofore, and she is more resigned to
the cruel affliction wich has fallen upon
her and the nation. She is making pre
parations for her removal from the
White House, which will take place as
soon as she is sufficiently recovered to
taavel.

MORE AND MORE DESIRABLE
The Rebellion is suppressed, and the Govern
ment has already adopted measures to reduce
expenditures as rapidly as possible to a peace
footing, thus withdrawing from market as bor
rower and purcpaser. This is
THE ONLY LOAN IN MARKET
now offered by the Government, and consti

GOLD BEARING BONDS,
Which are always worth a premium.
FREE FROM TAXATION.
The 7-30. notes cannot be taxed by Towns,
Cities, Counties or States, and the interest is
not taxed unless on a surplus of the owner's
income exceeding six hundred dollars a year.
This fact increases their value from one to three
per cent. per annum, according to the rate le
vied on other property.
SUBSCRIBE QUICKLY.
Less than $200,000,0® of the Loan authorized
by the last Congress are now on the market.
This amount, at the rate which it Is being ab
sorbed, will all be subscribed for within two
months, when the notes will undoubtedly
command a premium, as has uniformly been
the case on closing the subscription to other
Loans. It now seems probable that no considera
ble amount beyond the present series will be offered
to the public.
In order that citizens of every town and sec
tion of the country may be afforded facilities
for taking the loan, the National Banks, State
Banks, and Private Bankers throughout the
country have generally agreed to receive sub
scriptions at par. Subscribers will select their
own agents, in whom they have confidence, .nd
who only are to be responsible for the delivery
of the notes for which they receive orders.

MC 0 IC K'S IMPROVED SELF-
Raking Combined Reaper and Mower for
1811.5. one of the greatest labor-saving machines
of the age, It is superior to all others, because
it is made of the best material, and for field
work strong enough to be safe, durable and re
liable at. all times. It has the advantage of
making a perfect separation by the Rake, in
all kinds of grain, whether tangled or lodged,
long or short, by reason of the operation of the
Rake in revolving over the reel, and making
the separation in the Intent grain, or before the
nickel. The certainty of a clear cot apparatus
and platform at the making of each sheaf, no
matter how tangled Or short the grain may be.
The grain may hang over the separator to the
left and be out of reach of other Rakes and
make a trail certain, while ours cannot fail to
clear all out every time. The motion of the
Rake and Sickel eau he stopped at pleasure.
It rakes the grain (Antic side of the Machine,
and deposits it in a most excellent shape for
binding. Yet so loosely does the gavel lay on
the top of the stubble that there can be no
heating if it has to lay there a longer time than
usual,and the bundles being less compact than
others, will dry up after a shower of rain. This
is a very important feature of our Machine.
Warranted. Farriers who want to secure a
Machine. shoußrorder early.

short notice, as I have the castings on hand.
Having had ten'years' experience in the Drill
business, and having employed the best me
chanics, I feel confident I can turn out good
work. Persons in want of a genuine Grain
Drill will be careful that they get the Keeler &
Barthel, patent, manufactured by Jacob Bar

that are not genuine.
Repairing of all kinds done on reasonable
terms, and at short notice.
By strict attention to business I hope to re
