Poi Ontelligente. COMMENCEMENT WEEK.—The Biennial Address before the Literary Societies of Franklin and Dfarshall College was deliver ed on Tuesday afternoon, at Fulton Hall, by our talented young friend Wm. S. Stenger, Esq., of Chambrsburg, a graduate of the Class of '5B. The subject was exceedingly interesting, though it was somewhat of a braving of public opinion to take the ,side which he did. It, however, only indicates true grit and strong moral sensibility on the part of the speaker. The life of Aaron Burr, which was the theme on which the orator slilated with his usual eloquence, possesses unusual charms to the student of human nature, and while he (lid not deny the bad traits of his most singular and preposses sing character, he did not fail to discuss with masterly perception the nobler and More pleasing phases of his strangely ro mantic life. Burr's towering ambition, his colossal mind, unparalleled bravery,persua- Sive address, polished manners, his duel with and killing of Ilanrilton, his "treason," and his-s - übsequent life were all eloquently portrayed, and several points in the address were well worth treasuring up for present and future use. That insane temporary tyrant, " public opinion," derides the char acter of Burr ; but, only looking at the lark side, covers up all his more glorious features with the black mantle of prejudice :Ind withering 5, , ,T11. Burr's trial for trea son by the old] of a military court was dwi It upon, and the declaration that the military should always lie subordinate to the civil rule was greeted with the ap plause deservingso noble an American sen timent, and emanating from the true American heart. The address occupied about one hour and a half in the delivery, but the interest in it was unflagging, and the ability arid eloquence displayed by the speaker cannot fail to stamp him as one of the noblest sons of his Alma Mater. Among the distinguishe , l pei-sons present \ %IS ex-President l'Archamtn, whose arrival in the hall wasgreete(l W ith much applause. The Annual Address before the Alumni was delivered on Tuesday evening, at the Court I honso, by lie. L. 11. Steiner, of Frederick, Mil.

ENCEM ENT EKERCISES.—The Commencement exercises of Franklin :Id Alarshall College, lvhich took place at Ful ton Hall on 'Wednesday morning last, were attended by a Vere large audience of the beauty, fashion and literati of the city and vicinity.

Too hurried in the delivery. Good voice, but the -. outliful speaker seemed uneasy and anxious to get through with his subject as quickly its pos sible. It, however, was well chosen. llis It.,,riptimi of ::qarshal Ney's life and ac tions, his great bravery and fearlessness of death, his treason to the Bourbons and his tragic end were well conceived and highly interesting, and his tribute to the "bravest of the brave - very appropriate and eloquent. EMI= FRAN 1:1.1±c 4. mATioN—'.rhe Roman Law:: Peter D. - Wanner, Kutztown, Pa. This was decidedly the best oration of the morn ing. The orator was easy in manner, grace ful in gesticulation and excellent in delivery. The described the rise :Ind progress of the Roman law, and was highly laudatory ihereof. The oration was well studied and Indicated deep thought. MA USUAL'. OrLyrios--" Socrates." Tilgh man (I. Stein, Cherryville, Pa. The orator was too fast in his delivery, but easy. His subject was from its nature philosophical and pleasing. Philosophy had its head and .exponent in ancient times in Socrates—he being a firm believer in the command, ." Man know thyself." He was the religious missionary of his age, and tried to act, live and die the god. Ile was void of human fear, and possessed the equanimity of ,the truly good. ORATION-" Empire of tke Seas." Edgar C. Reed, of this city. The orator possesses a fine, sonorous voice, and graceful man ners. It was a patriotic theme, and the speaker did it full justice. Remade a com parison of land and naval warfare, and proved:conclusivelythat Britannia no longer rules the waves, but that America now did, and has since the formation of the Govern ment. Re paid an eloquent tribute to the gallant tail of our country, who aerved in the last as well as former struggles, This closed the mornings exercises, Each of the speakers were thue_cipients of hand some boquets from theiMir friends. The old 79th Band, during the intervals in the exercises, furnished most eloquent music. AFTERNOON SESSION At 2 o'clock the exercices were opened with prayer by ReV. Dr. Gerhart. Salutatory by Philip D. Baker, of this city. The speaker delivered his oration with a good, natural voice and in an independent manner. His delivery is earnest and at times eloquent. The subject was very hap py in its inception. Self sacrifice, he con tended, perfects the manhood in war, peace and in society. It was the great lever of gond and becoming to the truly virtuous.— We owe much to it in the war to the self sacrifice of volunteers. All good govern ments were founded upon it. The subject was quite logical. GERMAN ORATION-" Der Mensch—der Herr der Erde," which translated into Eng lish means " Man—the Lord of the Earth." Jacob G. Neiffer, Perkiomenville, Pa. The style of the speaker was easy, fluent and graceful, and judging from his earnestness, the subject was eloquent. Not understand ing the German language sufficiently to criticise it, we will pass it by, though the subject was doubtless satisfactory and in teresting to all who could appreciate it.. Valedictory by Calvin L. Gerhard, of this city. Rather too dignified and stiff in man ner, and too solemn in delivery. As is the case with all valedictories, it was a history of the graduating class. It was patriotic, and as new in ideas as these kind of ad dresses can be. His farewells to the audi ence, (as a matter of course the fair sex re ceived the most of the valedictorian's parting words,) his fellow students, board of trus tees, faculty and the graduating class were heartfelt and most beautifully and elo quently expressed. The degrees were then conferred upon the graduating class, and also the following: The degree of A. B. was conferred on Cy rus Boger. The degree of A. M. on W. W. Davis, Esq., of the class of '56, Col. B. F. Fisher, of the class of '59, and on Darius W. Ger hard, Jeremiah S. Hess, H. F. Keener, J. Brainerd Kremer, Samuel V. Mays, Rev. C. U. Heilman, W. W. Weigley, Charles M. Zerl,e, Dr. A. B. Dundor, L. D. Schwartz, George N. Wagner, Rev. James A. Shultz, A niandus F. Zeigler, Rev. Wm. Rnpp and Dr. henry W. Newcomet of the class of '62. The degree of A. M. was also conferred on Lieutenant-Colonel Morris D. Wicker sham, of the staff of General Thomas. The honorary , degree of D. D. was con ferred on ltev. David Cole, Professor of Greek in Rutgers' College, N. J. The honorary degree of L. L. D. was con ferred on Rev. Dr. Libertuks Van Bokka len, of the Episcopal Church, and State Su perintendent of Education of Maryland. 1M ASTER ORATION—" Germania." Sam uel V. Mays, Germantown, Pa., a graduate of the class of '62. The speaker's deliberate manner, musical voice, graceful gesticula tion and well-studied effort stamped him as the orator of the day. llis subject was a powerfully argumentative and interesting one. lle described the ancient German diameter for honor, bravery and _personal freedom, and from that stand-point argued that the German spirit of freedom animated all the struggles for freedom anciently, and was still the leaven that worketh .unong the down-trodden of the earth, ierinan customs were just and equitable , and finally Changed the Rontan world and were the parent of till constitutional mon archies and free governments. The Eng lish Constitution, the American Republic, trials by jury and all the natural and in alienable rights of man were the fruits of the (lerman spirit. It was the foundation of religion, good laws, personal liberty, ‘s,:c. iermany was the ground on which freedom tirst raised its arm, and its spirit still moves and controls the world. The oration was of tin ished elegance, and the logic of the speak er was irresistible and could not be contro verted. His bold enunciation of his own ideas carried conviction with them, and made us almost wish that we had been born on the banks of the Rhine. His polished eloquence arid learning undoubtedly opens up a bright future for the youthful orator. Flora was very profuse in her °tit:rings to the orators of the afternoon. The Baccalaureate Address was then de livered by Rev. Dr. Gerhart. It congratu lated the graduates on the return of peace, and of success over the champions of slavery, State-rights and secession, and that by our oWn unaided exertions, we having no help whatever front any foreign country. God had helped us wonderfully in our na tional prosperity. We should recognize God in our Constitution and llis hand in our re cent struggle. After some parting advice to the graduates, the President closed his address, the benediction was pronounced, and the commencement exercises of 1565 EIDE= SUDDEN DEATII OF A WELL-KNOWN ClT izEN.—John S. Dougherty, Esq., of the well known publishing and book-selling firm of Barr & Dougherty of this eity,died on Thurs day morning rather suddenly in Philadel phia, whither he had gone on Monday last for the purpose of meeting his family. He had been ill a short time, but his sudden death has cast a gloom over all his friends. Mr. D. in early life studied for the legal profession, and we believe was admitted to practice at the Lancaster Bar. At one time he took considerable interest in politi cal affairs, and in the campaign of ISSI, which resulted in the election of Governor Bigler, took a very active part, stumping the county, being a very excellent speaker. I fe was a man of fine education, good busi ness qualifications, and, although rather re served in his deportment, was a very com panionable and sociable gentleman. He leaves a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn his sudden demise. THE SHENANDOAH. VALLEY.—The suf ferings of the people of the Shenandoah ♦alley, and their claims to sympathy and assistance front their brethren in Pennsyl vania, have heretofore been pretty fully set forth in our columns. It is hardly necessary for us to say anything more upon those sub jects. But for the information of any of our citizens who may feel disposed to contribute to the relief of that distressed section, we would state that Mr. Harman, a duly ap pointed agent of the Ladies' Relief Associa tion of lagerstown, is now in Lancaster.— We know Mr. llarmaM and we are also acquainted with a number of the parties in Hagerstown who are engaged in this chari table wcrit, :wit we can assure the public that anything they may give will be prop erly applied. HERE is a recipe for preserving fresh meat, and as many of our citizens have ex perienced considerable trouble in this mat ter since the hot weather set in, we ask them to give the following a careful perusal, as well as a trial: Keep the meat as long as possible with out becoming tainted, then wash it over en tirely with vinegar in which a little salt has been dissolved. In this way it can be pre served for sonic weeks longer, according to the state of the weather. This may be of great benefit to flu - niers, who sometimes have a quantity of meat on hand, which they wish to preserve for occasional use. RETURNED.—The members of Company F, 9111 Penn'a Cavalry, Capt. Harry Walt man, raised in this county, after a faithful four years' service in the Southwest, in the army under Ben. Sherman, returned home on Friday afternoon. Preceded by the 19th Regiment Band, they marched through several of the principal streets of our city, under command of Lieutenant Samuel W. Schauers, and presented a fine appearance. SALE OF GOVERNMENT HORSES.—On Friday a large sale of Government horses took place at the old circus lot, on South Lime street, this city. 92 head were sold at prices ranging from $l5 to $l3O, or at an average of $6O per head. The sale was con tinued this morning, when 69 head were sold at prices ranging from $2O to $l4B. THE TREATMENT OF DISEASES BY IN HALATION.—Drs. Carpenter and Turner, who have won for themselves a high repu tation, in New York, Trenton and Harris burg, by their treatment of diseases, have located in this city, and opened a suite of rooms at Cooper's Hotel, West King street, for the prUctice of their profession. They bring with them the strongest testimonials and recommendations as to the efficacy and permanency of the cures effected by means of their Oxygenated Medicated Inhalations. Dr. Carpenter is the originator of this sys tem, and we find him to be very pleasant and courteous in his manners, and believe that he thoroughly understands the treat ment of diseases to which human flesh is heir, RETURN OF GEN. HAMBRIMIT--GLORI OUS RECEPTION AND ♦SPLENDID BANQUET --SPEECISES OF MAYOR SANDERSON AND TEE GENERAL—INTERESTING INCIDENTS, &c., &e.—Gen. Henry A. Hambright, ac companied by Lieut. Lewis Zecher of his staff, returned to.his home in this city on Thursday afternoon, and met with one of the most glorious, warm-hearted and en thusiastic receptions it has ever been our good fortune to behold. It was determined, at a meeting of citizens, held at the Cad well House, on Monday evening week, to tender the General a banquet as a testi monial of their appreciation of his arduous services in the field for over four years, and of their esteem for him as a citizen. A description of the reception and banquet given him we have endeavored to give be low. On Wednesday evening a despatch was received by Messrs. Rees and Zecher that the General was in Pittsburg, and would reach Lancaster in the 3 o'clock train on Thursday afternoon. The different com mittees then set to work in earnest, and by Thursday noon all the necessary arrange ments for a fitting reception had been made. At 2 o'clock, P. M., the City Cornet Band, which had been engaged for the occasion, proceeded to the Cadwell House, took posi tion on the balcony, and for nearly an hour, the train being that much behind time, dis coursed numerous popular airs in fine style. Meanwhile crowds of citizens, among whom were many of the old soldiers of the General's command, besides numbers of others, had gathered in the depot and vi cinity. A few minutes before 4 o'clock the whistle sounded the approach of the train, and the scene became exciting and interest ing. Two lines of citizens and soldiers, un der direction of Col. John H. Buchman, aided by • Lieuts. John Rees and R. A, Smith, were formed from the depot to the Cadwell House, and when the train ap peared in sight the Band struck up " Hail to the Chief." The moment the tall and commanding form of the General was ob served cheer upon cheer rent the air. He was escorted from the cars through the lines, amid the continued cheers of his fel low-citizens, by Richard MeGrann, Esq., and Col. Buchman, to the steps of the Cad well House, where he was warmly greeted by Mayor Sanderson, who had been depu tized to make the reception speech. Order having been sufficiently restored, the Mayor spoke substantially as follows: General Hambrighl—Your fellow-citizens have imposed upon me the agreeable duty of extending to you a welcome to your home and fireside. My regret is, that I have not command of language sufficient to express the feelings which actuate me, and the high regard entertained for you by every man, woman and child in old Lan caster, your birth-place and home. To you and your gallant compatriots in arms of the far-famed Seventy Ninth, and to the brave volunteers of other Regiments, who so nobly stepped forth at the call of their country, the people of Lancaster city and county owe a debt of lasting gratitude, and for the military ardor which actuates our people, we are mainly indebted to you, sir, and to you venerated sire—himself an honored sur vivor of the war of 1.41'2. The name of Itambright in Lancaster is synonymous with patriotism, and if your position in the army had been measured by merit, you would long since have commanded a Divi sion instead of a Brigade. Snell, sir, is the deliberate judgment it you r who know your worth, and properly ap preciateyour heroic conduct as a gentleman and a soldier. Like the mother of the Gracchi we can point to you and to your gallant com patriots in arms, and say these are our jewels. We have, with intense solicitude, followed you through the four long and terrible years of the bloody strife now so happily ended. We have watched your devotion to the flag of the Union. We have sympathized with you in your wearisome and perilous marches—in your gallant con duct on the field of battle, in camp and in intrenchment—and tour, when the Angel of Peace has once more spread her broad and balmy wings over the entire length and breadth of the Republic, from the Arostook to the Rio Grande and front the Atlantic to the Pacific, your fellow-citizens of all parties, bid you welcome to the endear ment of home and fireside, and the peace and quiet of the domestic circle. The Grecian matron, when giving her son to the service of her country, sent hint firth with her richest blessing, and adjured him to return " with or upon his shield -- in other words, he was to come back to her arms either as a victor or in the embrace of death. But this injunction on her part pre supposed a possible doubt of his courage and fidelity. We had no such misgivings when we bade you farewell in October, 1861. We knew your bravery, for it had been tested years before on the plains of Mexico in many a hard-fought battle-field. IV° knew that you would never disgrace your sword or dishonor the star-spangled banner of the Union. In short, we felt con fident that at all times and in all places you would prefer a true-hearted soldier's death to the dishonor of turning your back to the enemy. And nobly, sir, have you and the ghllant men of your regiment, and the other brave spirits of Lancaster city and county who volunteered in other regiments, justi fied the confidence reposed in your patri otism and bravery. And now, after all your perils and sufferings, you return to your friends with the proud consciousness of having faithfully and fearlessly dis charged your whole duty as citizens and soldiers. General Hambright You once more, like the Scottish chieftain, stand upon your na tive heath, and your admiring fellow-citi zens tender you a banquet as a feeble test i monial of their high regard and esteem for you as a soldier and a gentleman. And now, sir, again permit me, on behalf of the people, [here taking the ;eneral's hand] to bid you a heartfelt welcome to the scenes of your childhood and the place of your-re sidence. May the future of your life be prosperous and happy as the past has been useful and glorious to your beloved coun try. May the benignant smiles of a gracious and merciful Providence rest upon you and your family ; and if the tocsin of war should once more call the country to arms, may you again marshal the sons of old Lancas ter for the combat, and a second time be found in the front rank of our country's gallant defenders. During the course of the Mayor's re marks, he was warmly applauded, and whenever the name of Ilambright was mentioned it was the signal for the most enthusiastic cheering. The General, who was completely over come by this warm-hearted and enthusi astic welcome, returned his thanks briefly, modestly, and in a truly befitting manner. He said: Mr. Mayor and Fellow-Mi.:ens : You know, my: old friends and fellow citizens, that I am not a speech-maker. The fact is, I have never attempted to make a set speech, and could not do so if I had the desire. But I certainly should be ungrate ful to my own feelings, and show a want of proper respect, if, on this Occasion, I should not at last attempt to return my heartfelt thanks :la- this truly tlattcring and noes peeled is UiCOlllO. My friend, our worthy Mayor, has spoken very flatteringly of my services in behalf of our common country. Of these I shall not speak, being content to be judged by my acts and not by words. I am glad, in conimun with the rest of my fellow-citizens, that blessed peace has once more been restored to our beloved country, and hope that it may be perpetual. In ad dition to my being no speaker, the state of my health will not permit me to say more at present, but only to again thank you with all my heart for the kindness and good will ever manifested to me. The General was heartily applituded dur ing the course of his remarks, and at the close three rousing cheers and a " tiger " were given him. The reception ceremonies being over, the company, which numbered about two hun dred, among whom were many prominent citizens, besides soldiers, proceeded to the spacious dining room of the Cadwell House, where the banquet took place. And here one of the most cheerful and pleasing sights met the eyes of the participants. Two tables, the entire length of the room were spread and covered with all the substantials and deli cacies of the season. It was one of the finest "spread outs" we have ever seen or par taken of, and the "mine hosts" of the Cad well House, Messrs. Harry and Joe Barnett, have certainly added another "feather in their caps" as caterers and the getters up of elegant and sumptuous entertainments.— They were ably assisted by their estimable sisters, who are au fait in matters cuisine, and by Mrs. Daniel Okeson, Mrs. Dana Graham and a number of other ladies whose names we were unable to learn. The Ban queting Connuittee, Messrs. Christian Wid myer, Henry C. Wentz, Col. James Boon, William Miller and Col. William Gumpf were assiduous and indefatigable in their efforts and deserve all praise. The Mayor preSided at the head of the main table, Gen. Hambright being seated, on his right, and Richard McGrann, Esq., on his left. After an hour very pleasantly spent in a proper mastication and digestion of the many good things on hand, the health of General Hambright was proposed in.fitting terms by H. B. Swarr, Esq., and briefly responded to by the General, who in turn toasted the citizens of his native city of Lancaster. Varione other 'Waste *ere also drank, the old 79th and other organiza tions coining in fora full share of laudation. About 5 o'clock the company left the dining room, and General Efambright was for sev eral minutes fairly besieged with hand shaking. One the most pleasing sights to witness was the warmth and cordiality exsting between the members of the 79th and their beloved commander. Not one of them but what spoke in the warmest terms of him. The line was again formed by Col. Duch man and his aids, Lieuts. Rees and Smith, and, headed by the Band, the General was escorted to his residence on East Chestnut street, where, after the performance of that grand old air, "Home, Sweet Home," the General again briefly returned his thanks for the honor conferred upon him. Mayor Sanderson was also called for, and made a few remarks. After cheers for Gen. Ham bright, Mayor Sanderson and Col. Duch man, the company dispersed. And thus ended, as we have said before, one of the most glorious, warm-hearted and enthusi astic receptions ever witnessed in this city, and given to one who is enshrined in the affections of our people. It was expected that the venerable Gen. Frederick Hambright, fatherof the General, would accompany him to this city. But the state of the old veteran's health, and his extreme age, he being upwards of eighty, forced him very reluctantly to stay at home. Has old friends and fellow-citizens of his native city would have delighted to do him honor, and it would have done his heart good to witness the respect and esteem shown for his noble son. TIIE CORNWALL IRON ORE Haas, says the Lebanon Courier, are perhaps, the most interesting natural feature of Lebanon coun ty. The immense wealth there lying ready to be shoveled into the pockets of proprie tors, the industry they arecapable of foster ing, the long years that they have been the wonder of visitors, and the generations that they will continue to attract the lovers of nature, clothe everything pertaining to them with more than ordinary interest. We have often heard the question asked, " who was the original proprietor of these hills?" We believe the first direct individual owners were John, Thomas and William Penn, iu whose favor a warrant was issued from the proprietaries of Pennsyl vania on the Bth day of May, 1732; and this warrant was by them assigned toJos. Turner and by Turner to William Allen. On the sth of April, 1734, Allen sold to Peter Grubb for the snm of one hundred and thirty-tive pounds, three hundred acres of vacant land, including the greater part of the ore banks. On the death of Peter Grubb, Ins two sons, Curtis and Peter, inherited the ore banks, Curtis taking two-thirds and Peter one third. On the 28th of June, 1783, Oixtis Grubb gave to his son Peter one-sixth part of the ore banks. On the 20th of Sep tember, 1785, Peter Grubb, Sr., sold Robt. Coleman the one-sixth part of the Cornwall Furnace and ore banks, re serving the right to mining and haul ing away ore for any one furnace. Peter Grubb, by his will dated the 7th of May, 1754, devised to his two sons, Burd Grubb and Henry Bates Grubb, his estate. By an agreement dated flay nth, 1780, between Curtis Grubb and Robert Coleman, and the executors ofPeter Grubb, sr., who were also the Guardians of Burd Grubb and Henry Bates Gr‘ilib, it was agreed that the ore banks should be divided into three equal parts, and two equal third parts thereof should lie assigned to Curtis Grubb and Robert Coleman. according to their shares therein, and the other third part to Burd Grubb and Henry Bates Grubb. By arti cles of agreement dated August 30,1787, the agreement of May oth was so changed that the ore banks should remain undivided as a tenancy iii common, Curtis Grubb be ing entitled to three-sixths parts thereof, Robert Coleman to one-sixth part thereof, and Burd and Henry Bates Grubb to the remaining, two-sixths. Curtis Grubb died, and his interest was purchased September 12, 1799, by Robert Coleman, for 1'29,100. On the 4th or May, 1795, Henry Bates Grubb bought the interest of Burd Grubb. (In May 12, 1708, trenry Bates Grubb sold one-half of his interest in the hills to Robert Cole man. Robert Coleman, by his will ap proved the 3d of September, 1925, devised his interest in the ore banks to Ins four sons, William, James, Edward, and Thos. Burd Coleman, as tenants in common, each to have twenty equal ninety-sixths parts of the ore hills. On April 22d, 1828, William Coleman sold his interest to his brother Thomas, anti on the same date Edward sold his interest to James and Thomas. Ilenry Bates Grubb died, leaving six chil dren, Edward 8., Henry C., Clement 8., Mary S., Sarah E., and Alfred 8., to whom his sixteen ninety-sixth parts descended, and in this connection an action of partition was brought in 1838, under which these shares were adjudged to Edward B. and Clement li. Grubb. Janies Coleman died in 1831, and Ins thirty ninety-sixth parts passed into the hands of Ins sons, Robert and G. Dawson Coleman. Thomas B. Coleman died, and his fifty ninety-sixth parts were inherited by his sons, Robert NV. and William Coleman. The two latter have since died, and their interest is now in the hands of their administrator, Colonel Freeman. Tim LATE litsuor POTTER.—The follow ing touchingly beautiful pastoral letter of lit. Rev. William Bacon Stevens, D. D., now Bishop of this Diocese, has just been published on the death or the lamented Bishop Potter: To the Clergy owl Laity of the Diocese of Penn sylvania: DEARLY BELOVED IN THE Lotto: God has removed from us by death our revered and beloved Diocesan, the Rt. Rev. Bishop Alonzo Potter. While we cannot but mourn our irreparable loss, it becomes us to bow with submission to this bereaving stroke, which takes from the diocese its faithful and venerable head. This is not the place to declare his many noble qualities of mind ;old heart, or to recite the manifold bless ings which have resulted to this diocese through his indefatigable labors. The record of his work for Christ and His Church will endure throughout all genera tions. The evidences of his zeal for every great and noble scheme are to be found all over the diocese; and the memorials of his long and successful episcopate will be a pre, cious heritage to the Church in Pennsylva nia. For twenty years he has presided over the Protestant Episcopal Church in this State, and under his wise administration it has doubled in numbers and quadrupled in strength. lie has lengthened its cords and strengthened its stakes, and by his judicious plans and large-minded views, has made the name of our Church known and re spected, and the Church itself a living power in the hearts of the people. As a preacher, he was forcible, clear and eloquent ; as a legislator, he was sagacious and far sighted; as au executive officer, he was prompt, active and unfaltering; as a bishop, he was eminently wise, conserva tive and efficient; as a man, he was noble in mind and body ; as a citizen, loyal and patriotic; its a Christian, humble, godly in conversation, spotless in life, resting alone on Christ for pardon and peace. It was his privilege to inaugurate and carry out many admirable schemes for the proper development of the educational and philanthropic elements of the Church, and his prudence, and foresight, and rare execu tive talents were specially manifest in all the internal management and workings of this great diocese. It was sad for us that he died far away from his home and his diocese, but it was God's ordering; and our beloved Bishop found the golden shore of the Pacific as near to Heaven as the cost of the Atlantic. We have received as yet no record of his last hours, but his life bad been such a liv ing testimony for Christ and His Church, that we need no dying testimony to assure us that he died in the lord, and that he was one of those saints whose death is precious in the sight of God. It becomes us, as the spiritual children who have so tong enjoyed his fatherly over sight, to remember him with love and rever ence. His memory is the memory of a just man, and is blessed ; and the diocese will ever place next to the venerable William White, the name and fame of his distin guishedi successor, Alonzo Potter. I recommend that the Prayer for persons in affliction be read in all the churches on the Sunday after the receipt of this letter, in behalf of his sorrowing household, and children, and diocese; and that the chancels of the several churches be draped in mourn ing, as emblematical of that sorrow which must touch every churchman's heart in the Diocese of Pennsylvania. Will you bear with me a moment longer, when, in view of the increased cares and duties which devolve on me, I respectfully but earnestly ask an interest in your prayers that the great Head of the Church may ful fill his promise to supply all my needs, ac cording to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. Commending - you to the God of all com fort, and to the love of the adorable Re deemer, and to the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, I remain Very truly yours, M. BACON STEVENS.

John Myer, who for nearly sixty years has kept a Dry Goods Store in this city, died at his residence, on West King st., on Sunday evening, after an illness of ninny years du ration. Mr. M. was upwards of SU years cf age, and was one of the old time gentlemen, who are fast passing away. He was highly esteemed for his probity, honesty and cor rect dealings as a business man, and ins estimable traits of character as a man and citizen. ACCIDENT ON TILE RAILIWA D.- Y usterday morning, about 4 o'clock, as Mr. Henry Wise, of this!city, was walking Awn the railroad, he was struck by the engine of the Philadelphia Express Passenger Train east a short distance below the Norris Locomo tive Works, and seriously if not fatally in jured. A freight train was coining up :it the time, and it is supposed - he stepped un the other track to allow it to pass when the cow-catcher of the engine of the passenger train struck hint and threw hint with tre mendous force against the fence, resulting in severe injuries to his face and body. No blame whatever attaches to the engineer , who whistled "down brakes" and stopped the train as speedily as it could he done.— Both trains were stopped, and the injured man was brought to the depot, when lir. Atlee, sr., was summoned, who paid limn every attention. Ile was afterward convey ed to his brother's residence, where he is now lying in a very precarious condition. SAD AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—This morn. ing, at an early hour, the dead body of a young man was discovered on the top of a freight car on a sideling at West Philadel phia. It was recognized as that of John Rees, aged about 10 years, eldest son of Mr. Shultz Rees, of this city. lie left his fath er's restaurant, on North Queen street, last night about 10 o'clock, and nothing further wtis heard of him until this morning, when the above sad and heart-rending news was telegraphed to his father front West Phila delphia. It is supposed that he got on one of the freight trains while passing through the depot in this city, and his head struck the bridge at liestonyille while tlie train was in full motion, and that death resulted instantly. FRACAS IN A "( 'LASSIC " LOCA ITV.- On Friday afternoon, about 5 o'clock, a party of six young Olen went to a certain house in the "classic" region of ( loose street, and demanded admission, which was refused. They immediately assailed the house, conducting themselves in a very disorderly manner, throwing stones into the building, and kicking in the door. A man, who is a stranger here, was in the house at the time, and was struck by one of the stones, as was also one of the female inmates. The stranger in turn attacked the outsiders, who were armed with " bil lies," and knocked three of them down with a cane. The police We re sent for, who, upon their arrival, found the "birds had flown" for other quarters not quite so warm.

Condition of the Crops The Agricultural Bureau is in receipt of gratifying reports hf the condition of the crops. The wheat crop is generally large, and sufficient to yield a large amount for exportation. The corn crop is in a flourishing condition, and pro mises a large yield. The oat crop is everything at this time that could be desired. The potatoes escaped the in juries of the potato bug much better than usual, and bid fair to be abundant. All other crops, both fall and spring, sown and planted, bids fair to be larger than the crops of last year. The fruits are not so uniformly good, especially in the Western States.— Wash. Union. THE PITTSBURG COAL EXCHANGE, as we learn from the Post, ! has resolved to recommend to the proprietors of a reduction of one cent per bushel in the price paid for mining coal, and a cor responding reduction in the wages of all workmen at the mines, after the first of August. The owners of mines in the anthracite region are endeavoring to effect a reduction of from twenty-five to fifty per cent. in the price paid hands for mining. Some difficulty has been encountered by them in this endeavor, as the workmen strongly object. It is said many of the hands have been mak ng from six to eight dollars per day. We have further foreign advices by the Hibernian and City of New York. The gain of the Liberals in the English elections was twenty. Mr. Gladstone had been re turned from Lancashire. The cholera had broken out in Birmingham. United States Five Twenties had declined, and were quoted at 711. The telegraph cable across the Per sian gulf had been repaired and communi cation with India restored. The French Prince Imperial had recovered. The Paris Moniteur contradicts the report of an Euro pean Congress. Thirteen persons were klll - and a number injured by a railroad ac cident in Prussia. An earthquake had oc curred at Catania, killing several persons. - The cholera continued to decline in Egypt, but was spreading in Constantinople, An Exciting Foot-Race—Five Miles in Twenty-Seven Minutes, Nine Seconds. [From the Chiedge Times, July 28.3 The five-mile foot-race, for a purse of one thousand dollars, betweert the In dian Deerfoot, Stevens and Smith, took place yesterday, on the 'Driving Park course. The announcement of such a race, and the novelty of the affair were sufficient to attract a crowd of people, larger than any which has assembled on these grounds during the season. On this occasion there could not have been less than two thousand people present, among whom were a large num ber of ladies. Conspicuous Itmong the assemblage was Major-General Ord, ac companied by twoof his aids, Brigadier- General Sweet, and Honorable A. P. McConnell, of Springfield. Betting set in lively from the start. There seemed to be but little choice on the part of those investing, as nor e of the men, save Deerfoot, were known. Bets were accordingly laid without odds on all, no one being the favorite. At half-past three o'clock the contestants appearedon the track. They were arrayed in close-fitting silk tights, the colors of Deerfoot being purple : those of Smith red, and of Stevens white. They were all tall, wiry, athletic look ing young men and a buzz of admiration went through the crowd as they took their places for the start. Soon the word was given, and away they went, all close together and neither making at first any very great exertions, see ing that they had a long race be fore them. Soon their pace began to increase, and at the first quarter they had fairly settled' to their work. All the way around no advantage was gained by either of the men and, on turning the first mile, they were still all in a heap. This was the condition of affairs up to the half mile pole on the second mile, from which point Smith began to lag, and soon fell forty yards behind. His pace was unsteady and nervous, and seemed no match for the long, steady strides of the other two. He fell still farther behind on roundinc , the stretch, and gave out at the end of the second mile. Stevens here assumed the lead, and kept about four paces ahead all the way around. The same position was maintained at the end of the fourth mile. By this time the men both man ifested signs of the arduous labor they had undergone, and their movements, hitherto free and active, were now made with considerable effort. The rapid pace - at which they had gone. and the distance they had traversed, began to tell upon them, and they lagged con siderably on this mile. Stevens still kept the lead with long, swinging strides, but close in his rear followed the persistent Deerfoot, who met every increased effort of his opponentto widen the gap with a corresponding increase on his part. All the way around they continued thus, anti on rounding the final turn they were still close together. The excitement at this point was very great, and no one seemed to think that his chanceof winning his bet was worth any per centage. As they came in the crowd closed up on the track, so that oily with difficulty was a path opened for the men to come in. The hackers of each shouted to his man at the top of his voice to encourage him to renewed exertions; and, as they neared the score, each summoned the little energy that he had to gain the lead. Breast to breast they came down the stretch, each exerting himself to his utmost, and straining every nerve for the lead. Nearer and nearer they came, the spec tators standing with breathless anxiety. Nearer and nearer grew the distance from the mile post, and still they were even with each other. Both were using every endeavor to win the race, and they could do no more; and thus they crossed the score, making a dead race, in the remarkable time of twenty-seven minutes and nine seconds. The following is the summary: First mile 5.101 Second. mile 4.441 Third mile 0.51 Fourth mile 4.53 Fifth mile 5.24 Five miles `'~~ilkklltt~ C,5.
