takirig the Chair, made a few extremely
radical remarks returning thanks for the

City; .Roland Kinzer, City.
The list of delegates were then called over,
and 187 delegates answered to their names.
M. M. Strickler, of West Hempfield town
ship, then offered the following resolutions:
Resolved, That we fully and cordially ap
prove and sustain the wisdom, patriotisM,
and integrity of Andrew Johnson, Presi
dent of the United States, and that we

John I. Hartman, Esq., of the Examiner,
in a few spirited remarks, offered the follow
ing resolution as an amendment to the

Convention are hereby instructed to vote
for, and use all honorable means to secure
the nomination of John A.- Hiestand, for
Auditor General, and to vote for and secure
the nomination of souse veteran soldier for
Surveyor General.
M. M. Strickler replied in a floe stirring
remarks, charging the opposition to his
resolutions as not (quill ned to a mere local
fight, but was an assault against the sol
diers, Governor Curtin and President John
son, and which had been similarly mani
fested at Reading, Philadelphia and other
places.
The amendment to the amendment first
came up for consideration, upon which a
lively and exciting debate sprang up be
tween Samuel 11. Price, M. M. Strickler
and Samuel Brubaker, of Elizabethtown,
in reference to the preference of a civilian
over that of a soldier. The vote on the
amendment to the amendment was decided
by the chair to be in the affirmative, when
the yeas and nays were called for by Mr.
Strickler, which were ordered, and resulted
as follows: - Yeas, 711; nays, 71.
133!MEM1=11111111!11111111E1=
moments, upon the questions on motions
to adjourn, and proceeding to the nomina
tion of candidates for delegates. The mo
tion to adjourn was, however, finally car
ried, and the Convention adjourned to 11
o'clock, P. M.
112=
The Convention re-assembled at 11 o'clock.
The first business was the consideration
of the original resolutions as amended, up
on which another exciting discussion (and
which did not scent to be made very clear
or plain by the speeches elicited from the
various gentlemen participating), ensued.
Some parties maintained that the amend
ment to the amendment was asubstitute for
the original resolutions, whilst others were
equally decided in the opposite. Amid at
tempted explanations, calls for the previous
question were made, which was sustained.
The vote on the original resolutions as
amended was then taken, and decided in
the affirmative, when the yeas and nays
were ordered. [" Confusion worse con
founded'' again followed, during the reign
of which calls were made for the reading
of the resolutions, and a proposition sub
stituting, the name of Col. Joseph W. Fisher,
of the 195th Regiment, P. V., for that of
John A. Iliestand, for Auditor General,
mid the attempt of several gentlemen to
obtain the floor. Order was soon restored
by the Chairman ruling all debate out of
order, and the calling of the yeas and nays
proceeded with the following result :
Yeas, 11)4; nays, 75.
On motion, a Committee of nine were ap
pointed to whom all resolutions hereafter
offired should be referred. The following

Previous to the taking of the Ist ballot, a
delegate arose and moved that John H.
Shirk, of East Earl, a returned soldier, be
nominated by acclamation. The question
was put, and the Chairman said " the ayes
appear to have it," and then, strange to say,
directed the balloting to be proceeded with.
Five ballots were taken before a selection
was made. On the fifth ballot, Samuel
Ensminger, of Manheim borough, was

lIORMuni,E AF FA I R AT REA MSTOWN—
IVIURDER OF A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND.
—On Sunday evening, between eight and
nine o'clock, a horrible murder was com
mitted in Reamstown, this county, which
had a startling otrect upon the citizens
of that quiet village and vicinity. The facts,
as far as we have been able to gather them,
are as follows:
It appears that a man named Gibson Pe
ters, who had not been on good terms with
his wife for some time, had a quarrel with
her in the morning. In the evening he again
went to her house and meeting his wife in
the entry, deliberately stabbed her near the
heart with a pocket-knife, which was found
in the entry afterwards. As soon as he
committed the deed he ran out of the house
and up the street, his wife following after
and screaming "murder. She ran to
the front steps of Mr. Elias Weitzell's
house, some twenty yards distant, where
she fell. She was immediately carried back
to her own house, and Drs. Kline and
(trove called in; they were, however, un
able to render her any assistance, and she
died in about an hour afterward. Mr. Isaac
Pawling and two other gentlemen were
engaged in conversation in front of his
hotel at the time, and, hearing the
woman's screams and seeing the man
run, started after him. They pursued him
to the office of Cyrus Ream, Esq., where he
gave himself up, acknowledging that be
had killed his wife and did riot care for the
consequences. On Monday he was taken
to see the corpse of his wife, and carelessly
remarked " that it was all over now, and ha
didn't care how soon they shot him. - He
was brought to the city on Monday, and
committed to the County Prison to await
his trial for murder.
Fins.—A fire broke out on Wednesday
night last, about 11 o'clock, in the core
oven of trle foundry of Messrs. Diller
Stehman, which resulted in the burn
ing of a large number of core boxes.—
Front these the lire extended to the
roof, one-third of which was also burned.—
The loss will amount to about $3OO, on which
we learn there is no insurance. The fire
was fortunately discovered by several neigh
bors, who raised au alarm. By the exer
tions of Messrs. Lewis Haldy, Daniel A.
Altick, Jolla B. Kevinski and others, to
stay the extension of the flames, and the
assistance of the Friendship Fire Company
with their apparatus—being the only com
pany on the ground—the fire was soon ex
tinguished, and what might have otherwise
proved a more serious conflagration pre
vented. The lire originated in the oven,
and was accidental ; there being too largo a
fire in the oven, it extended to the shelves
on which the cores were laid to dry and
from there to the boxes.
Sitor-LIFTIN(;.--One of the most exten
sive cases: 01 shop-lifting that has come to
our knowledge Ibr sonic time, was perpe
trated on several of our merchants, on Sat
urday last, by an elderly woman named
Margaret Hoffman, of Manor twp., Lancas
ter county, where her husband, a well-to
do farmer, resides. From the store of
John P. Myer she took a web of calico
valued at $6 ; a Balmoral skirt, valued at $B,
from Bair Lt Co.; a web of muslin, valued
at $lO, from Jacob G. Getz's store ; a pair of
boots, valued at $l, from the rack in front
of P. McConomy's store; a dozen white
handkerchiefs from C. Schaeffer, and sev
eral brushes from the store of Mr. Weaver.
The calico being missed by Mr. Myer, sus
picion was cast upon the woman, and offi
cer Huber was sent in search of her, whom
he found in West King street in possession
of the goods. Being brought to the office,
it was suggested that the room where she
generally put up at during her visit to mar
ket be examined, when the other articles,
identified by their respective owners, were
found, and to the larceny of which she
rather hesitatingly acknowledged. The
boots sho persisted in saying were pur
chased by her husband and given to her,
but he denied the allegation at once, and
she finally acknowledged to having taken
them. Complaints were made by the re
spective owners, and in default of $2OO bail
in each case, she was committed. The resi
dence of the accused was subsequently
searched by the officer, and another web of
calico, belonging to Mr. Getz, and a pair of
boots, not yet identified, were found.
RELIOI.OI.I3.—The United Brothers will
hold a Camp Meeting in Bruner's Woods,
at Reinhold's Station, on the line of the
Reading and Columbia Railroad, to com
mence on Monday, September 4th, and to
continue through the week. Every accom
modation will be provided by Col. JeSse
Reinhold. The Railroad Company will
ran excursion trains.
Court Proceedings.
Monday Morning.—The Court - of Quarter
Sessions (August term) met this morning at
ten o'clock, Judge Hayes presiding. There
was a very full attendance.
John M. Hershey, of Mt. Joy township,
was appointed foreman of the Grand Jury.
The Judge delivered his charge to the Grand
Jury. It was able and patriotic. Thensual
preliminary business was gone through
with. Several cases were continued.
The rules of equity practice adopted by
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania May
27th, 1.865, with the report of the Commis
sioners, was to-day published in open court,
and ordered to be recorded with the rules
of court, as required by the provisions of
the act of Assembly relating to the same.
The said rules to be deemed obligatory and
in full effect from the time prescribed by
law.
Nol. pros. were entered in a good many
cases. Other business of not much impor
tance was disposed of.
The Court adjourned till afternoon.
Monday Afternoon.—Court met at two
and a half o'clock.
Com. vs. Henry Geist. Surety of the
peace, on oath of Mr. Fritz, who fears
damages to himself and property. The
constable who arrested him also testified to
his vicious disposition. The defendant be
trayed evidences of insanity. Sentenced to
give bonds in the sum of $2OO to keep the
peace for six months and pay costs.
Corn. vs. Frances Witteg and Catharine
Harman. Complained against by Rebecca
Fullerton for threatening to kill her for a
slight offence. All the parties live in Co
lumbia. Bound over in their own recogni
zances in the sum of one hundred dollars
each to keep the peace for three months and
to pay costs.
One or two cases were continued.
Owing to the absence of witnesses and
other material circumstances, no cases of
any special interest were before the court
during the afternoon.
Tuesday Morning.—Court met at nine
o'clock.
Coin. vs. A. Zinck. Surety of the peace.
Elizabeth Eck testified that the defendant
entered her garden, destroyed the vegeta
bles in it, using violent, abusive and vulgar
language to her, threatening to kill her, and
making lair fearful of some bodily injury.
In defence Zinck swore that Mrs. Eck's
husband did not pay the rent of the house ;
that Mrs. Eck had sonic difficulty with his
wife; that she shot at him three times with
a pistol loaded with powder and shot, though
she only hit the hog pen, and that he was
only pulling up the weeds in his own gar
den. The affair occurred in Marietta. The
Court decided that both parties should be
bound over to keep the peace for three
months, pay costs, ,tc.-
Hiram Shank, found guilty of involun
tary manslaughter at the last court, was
brought in to receive his sentence. His
counsel brought proof to show that a per
fect reconciliation had taken place between
the parties before the death of Good, mu
tual forgiveness being asked for and grant
ed, and that the parties parted as friends
before the death occurred. In consideration
of this and other powerful extenuating cir
cumstances elicited in the trial, the Court
sentenced him to pay ten dollars fine, costs,
and undergo an imprisonment of fifteen
days.
Corsi. vs. Geo. Hoick. Plead guilty in two
eases of assault and battery. Mr. Lockert,
a conductor for the special train between
Lancaster and Columbia on Whitsuntide
Monday,swore that Heick attempted to steal
a passage on the train from Mountville to
Columbia, and on remonstrating with him,
he used very threatening language and
finally attacked him, pushing him so that
Ins foot tripped and he fell down, on which
Heick jumped on hint and hurt him severely
about the face. l eel ine was on the train
assisting Lockert, and after leaving it at
Columbia was attacked unawares by Heick
who throw him down breaking his jaw and
teeth. Both assaults it appears were un
provoked. The court decided both to be
malicious attacks and sentenced him to pay
$lO fine in each case and costs, and undergo
three months imprisonment for each offence.
Com. vs. F. K. Mosey: Fornication and
bastardy, on oath of Rebecca Crum, who
swore that the initiatory proceedings with
Mosey took place on the 20th of November,
1803; that the child was born on the 26th of
August, 186 : 1. She admitted to having re
ceived pointed attention from gentlemen
beforehand,(though not at the time) having
been the mother of three children, though
unmarried. The parties live in Marietta.
The defence was that she was a public
woman, had an innumerable quantity of
lovers and visitors about the time of the
alleged paternity, that she kept a bawdy
house, and her general character had been
very bad for the last ten or fifteen years.—
She visited the canal boats, and one of the
witnesses swore that Rebecca Crum and
herself were both on a boat drunk together,
and otherwise disorderly. Several of the
witnesses' character for chastity was not
The plaintiff also swore that Mosey and
herself had an understanding together; that
be admitted the child to be his ; that he told
her he wouldn't let her stick, but that he
left Marietta and did let her stick.
The testimony of the plaintiff was not
very strong, and had nothing material to
support it. The jury returned a verdict of
not guilty, but as they did not fix the costs,
the Court directed them to decide on them,
and return their decision in the afternoon.
The Providence township road case,
which has been up before the court at
several terms, was continued, as the super
visors are engaged in laying out the road at
zesent.
A HEAVY DEscatvrioN.—We thought
we had hot weather in Lancaster. But that
at La Crosse, Wisconsin, as described by
" Brick" Pomeroy, takes down everything
in the heated term this season. Just hear
what the facetious and inimitable " Brick"
says of it:
Hot .'—The Elmira ( iazette has an article
on hot weather, which in comparison to
weather here is like icebergs vs. bridal
couch kisses. We've been in Elmira.
Have thought it was hot there, but all such
thoughts were childish fancies compared to
western realities. It is so hot here in La
Urcisse to day that a bronze statue of Wash
ington sweats like a man reading his death
warrant, or an old maid saying " yes" for
the first time. Every hair of our head is as
bulbous as a cat tail with sweat. Birds fall
in the streets. bare as a marble baby, and
the air is set orated with the smell of burn
ing feacners ! The sand in the street bas
melted a ed like lava runs kissing the paving
stones and burning through horses' feet.
Paint on houses is blistered with heat till
the buildings look like the head of an Irish
man after a special meeting at Donnybrook
Fair. Women's skirts roll up like parch
ment, and their limbs are checkered with
scars from hoop skirts till they took like
meat just turned on a hot gridiron.
In comparison, 1%1 ilton's description of bell
is colder than Dr. Kane's Arctic expedition.
The river runs boiline . ' water, and the roots
of the trees along the bank look like wash
women's thumbs after a siege in the wash
tub. The fish in the river are like gravy,
while green wood piled along the bank,
drying for steamboat use, burnsspontan
eously as would gun cotton. And yet it is
not excessively hot for the West. The at
mosphere is like the core of a ripe water
melon, and resembles a full grown Aurora
Borealis. We are rather warm, but nothing
to some days Now we sit here, the flesh
all sweat from the body—the marrow all
melted and out of our bones, with a blast
from a smelting furnace being driven
through the skeleton, and red hot though it
be we feel cool in comparison to some days.
Talk about its being hot in Elmira! Better
come to La Crosse
ROBBERY. —On Saturday 'bight last, a
young man named Patrick MacAlcor, re
siding in Plumb street, this city, fell asleep
in the depot, and was robbed while asleep
of his money, amounting to about $66, and
his watch.
Another.—On the evening of the same
day, the house of William Wilson, in West
German street, was entered and ransacked,
while he was absent at work at the Water
Works, near this city. The sum of $5.15
was stolen from one of the bureau drawers ;
it belonged to a young girl living with Mr.
W. This is all that is known to have been
missing.
AN EXPLANATION.—Young ladies are
often asked why they blush so when spoken
to about their lovers, but they are seldom
able to give a satisfactory answer. Taking
pity on their bashfulness, a writer in the
American Medical Gazette furnishes the fol
lowing lucid explanation of the beautiful
phenomenon: "The mind communicates
with the central gangloin ; the latter, by re
flex action through the brain and facial
nerve, to the organic nerves in the face,
With which its branches inosculate." The
mystery is now perfectly clear.

must have been more than one, effected an
Qntrance at the rear end of the store by bor
ing a hole in the middle of the shutter, and
also by boring two holes at the bottom

About 12o'clock Mr. Stackhouse, who keeps
an oyster saloon under Sieber's Cigar Store,
in Centre Square, had occasion to go into
the private alley between Mishler's Herb
Bitters Store and Johnston's Hotel, where
he stumbled over what turned out to be a
pile of goods, but having but one leg and
fearing personal injury, he became fright
ened and hurried back to his saloon with
out giving any alarm. This is the alley by
means of which they effected the entrance
to the yard in the rear of the store, and
through which the goods were carried off.
This morning some of the goods were found
scattered about in the yard and also in the
alley—the burglars and robbers evidently
being hurried in their movements. Several
coats, in the pocket of ono of which was a
Clark lantern, and in the others numerous
neck-ties, Sc. , were also found in the yard.
A double-barreled gun belonging to Mr. H.
C. Wentz, one of the firm, was also found
in the yard. The Messrs. Wentz estimate
their loss at about Ei3,000.
I 'SAD AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Monday
evening at (1 o'clock, just as the Harrisburg
Accommodation train westward was leaving
the depot in this city, one of the most horri
ble and fatal railroad accidents we have
ever been called upon to chronicle, occurred.
J. W. Hunter, Esq., for many years a Jus
tice of the Peace at Columbia, had got upon
the train for the purpose of going home. Ile
was standing on the platform at the time
the cars started, and the sudden motion
caused him to lose his hold. Mr. Frank
Wright, who had but a few minutes before
put the mails from the city post-office aboard
the train, was standing in the immediate
vicinity of the track, and observing Mr. H.
falling, caught hold of him and endeavored
to give him a secure footing; but the un
fortunate gentleman having but one leg,
and being a heavy man, Mr. Wright was
unable to carry out his merciful intentions,
and the deceased fell between the bumpers,
got under the wheels and was horribly
mangled and crushed. Of course instant
death resulted. The remains, which were
scattered about for a space of ten yards,
were gathered up and placed in a box, arid
were taken to Columbia in the 8 o'clock
train. An inquest was held by Deputy Cor
oner Snyder, of this city, and a verdict ren-
dered in accordance with the above facts.
The deceased lost one of his legs on the
railroad many years ago, and a son of his,
who we believe is still living, had both legs
taken off above the knees by the same
means. Ills sudden and horrible death has
caused a gloom and shudder to spread over
Columbia and vicinity, where he was well
and favorably known.
Thy, 77Tm—The following note, to one of
the editors of the Intelligencer from an old
Lancasteriun, will be of interest to the
many relatives and friends of the members
of the 77th in this city. The letter makes
no mention of the 77th being mustered out
of the service :
- IEADQT'S, IST BRIG., IST DIV. 4TH ARMY C.,
GREEN LAKE CAMP, July 24th, 1865.
FRIEND MORTON :—I drop you a few lines
to let you know that I am still alive, al
though I can't say I am very much pleased
with this "Neck of Land."
Our Brigade, or a part of it, arrived here
from New Orleans via Indianola, on Sunday
morning, at 5 o'clock, A. M. The , right
wing of the 77th Pennsylvania is still at
Indianola, 22 miles from here, waiting for
the other live companies to come up, one of
which is Co. IC, Capt. Haus, from Lancaster;
they were left back as guard for transpor
tation. They were all well when I saw
them last, in camp at Now Orleans. As
soon as they arrive our Brigade will move
on to San Antonia, no miles north from
hero, where it is said we aro to remain. If
there is anyting of interest turns up I will
write to you, if acceptable.
Yours respectfully,

Sunday last afire broke out in
the barn of David Weaver, near Binkley's
Bridge in Leacock township, this county,
which extended to the dwelling twice, but
by the timely arrival of a number of neigh
bors, who discovered the fire, with buckets
of water and pieces of wet carpet soon suc
ceeded in checking the flames, and saved
the house. The barn however, was entirely
burned. The products in hay and grain of
80 acres were consumed, all the farming im
plements, wagons, etc. All the stock, but
three bogs and a calf weresaved. None of
the family were at home, Mr. W. having
gone in the morning to pay a visit to his
father. There was some insurance upon the
building, but none upon the contents, The
fire was the work of an incendiary,

PARADE OF VET.tuAris.—lt is suggested
that there be reparadain a' day or. two in:
Centre Square of the'lleteran soldiers who
were placed on the Abolition County ticket
yesterday.. It would bea magnificent spec;
tacle, showing the gratitude of the "sol
diers' friends.," one to be observed. only
once in a life-time, and beside the - returned
soldiers of the 79th, 77th and other _organi
zations are extremely anxious to see and'clo
them honor! When'the veterans are drawn
up in line the second resolution of a series
offered by Col. Samuel H. Price (a valiant
veteran warrior in time of peace), and which
is published elsewhere, will be read for the
edification of the returned soldiers and the
amusement of the nasty "Copperheads"
who may be present as lookers-on. Heads
erect, eyes right, forward! Vice la " Bull

Denues and Atlee, a noble, gallant, chival

FIRE IN DRUMOBE TOWNSHIP.-The
barn with the contents, belonging to Mr.
David Newswanger, of Drumore township,
about one and a half miles southeast of the
village of Quarryville, was destroyed by fire
on Wednesday evening last. The origin of
the fire i.e unknown, but there are two sup
positions, one of which is that it was caused
by some matches which a small boy, son of
Mr. N., was carrying, and which he had
been lighting briers with; the other is that
it resulted from the heated oats and hay,
the day being very warm, and the barn be
ing stored with grain up to the slate roof.—
There was an insurance on the barn, but
none on the contents. Loss about $l5OO.
NOTICE TO OWNERS OF CATTLE.—The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company give
notice to owners of cattle and other live
stock, that in all cases of injury to the pro
perty of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, or to persons or property in charge of
said Company, in consequence of cattle or
other live stock obstructing the track, the
owner of such live stock will be held re
sponsible for all damages that may ensue.
THE DUTY OF POSTMASTERS.--Many'
Postmasters are in the habit of returning
papers to publishers when not taken out of
the office. This is not what is required.—
The Postoffice regulations require Post
masters to write to publishers not only no
tifying them that the papers are not taken,
but also giving the reasons why they are
not taken.
ANOTHER LARGE TOMATO.—We were
shown this morning a Tomato which weigh
ed ono pound and three-quarters. It was
raised in the garden of Mrs. Edward Cald
well, at Chickies, near Marietta. Bring on
your big Tomatoes.
SPEER'S SAMBURO WINE.—The thou
sands of physicians in this country and
Europe who are prescribing this wine as
using it in their own families in preference
to all others, is sufficient evidence of its
superiority over imported wines, as well as
over the manufactured sugared stuff, often
called native wines. The only genuine
Samburg Port \Vine has Mr. Speer's signa
ture over the cork of each bottle. Its purity
for a communion wine and its valuable
properties for medical use cannot be sur
passed. Be not deceived.—Portland Press.

tem and healing any and every disease with
which it may come in contact. A few inhala
tions will change the color of the blood from a

most every instance. In cases of consumption
this method has been attended with the best
results; its action upon the lungs being direct
and immediate, it gives the patient just What

up as incurable, who have only to breathe oxy
gen to have new life infused Into them. This
is a compound medicated inhalation. It Sls
perfectly harmless, having been administered
to thousand of patients with the happiest re
sults. The e inhalations are unlike any other
ever given for remedial purposes, and can be
obtained only at the Milers which we have es-
tablished In various parts of the country. An
office will be estabits .ed lu every city in the
State.
The following diseases have beeu successfully
treated by this method, viz :
