The investigation ended at 9 o'clock, when the room was cleared, and the Jury proceed ed to deliberate over the matter, without, however, being able to come to any conclu sion. They met again onThursdav evening, when Mr. Samuel Blair, Road Foreman of Engines on the Philadelphia Division, was examined. His testimony was substan tially as follows: Samuel Blair, sworn: I have been an engineer of passenger trains on the Penn sylvania Railroad for seven years; am now Road Foreman of Engines on the Philadel phia Division; my duties are looking after the engines, examining their condition, aic.; 26 to :311 miles an hour is the schedule rate on the road, or a mile in a minute and a half is the maximum speed allowed; [the witness here exhibited to the jury a copy of Rule 3S,:or schedule, showing that the time allowed to passenger engines is a mile in l; minutes, and freight engines 3 minutes per mile ;] the trains do not run as fast now on the road as they did four or five years ago; it is safe to run forty miles an hour at any time; Mr. Miller, the engineer of Ml, is a man of excellent judgment, and as good an engineer as there is in the state; do not think it is more dangerous to run around the curve at Kauffman's sideling at [berate of 40 miles an hour than on a straight line; the ilistance from Lancaster to Philadelphia is 69 miles, and it cannot be run under 2 hours and 5 minutes; there is great care taken in time selection of wheels, &c., for passenger car:.

RAILROAD TO THE 'rot or A MOUNTAIN.—The Leba non papers announce that one of the great est engineering, scientific and mechanical feats in the country, is now being perform ed at Cornwall, in that county. It is no less titan the building of a spiral railway around and to the.top of a great Iron ore mountain. It starts front the level of the Cornwall railroad, and revolves around the mountain, at some places over trussel work, at others over• high embankments, and again at others through ponderous cuts in the solid bodies of iron ore, until it reaches the very top of the mountain. A great part of the way is completed, a greater part is ready for the sills, while the rest is progress ing actively. A powerful locomotive has been obtained to do the work of moving the trains, which is already at Corn Wall ready for work. The spiral road proper, when completed, will be over two miles in length, and a work the equal of which cannot be found probably in th. world. The great improvetnents now going on at Cornwall are under the superintendence of A. Wilhehn, Esq., the manager of the Corn wall Furnaces and Estates for the heirs of Robert W. and William Coleman, dead, and the other parties interested. AIEASUB.I.NO COAL.—A view York paper gives the following rule for use by pur chasers for determining to their own satis- faction whether they have received full weight in coal. It was furnished by a coal dealer of twenty years' experience: "Short weight in coal it is well to know can be guarded against by all purchasers, if they will take the trouble to protect theniselves. An ordinary flour barrel holds 3 bushels of coal, egg, stove or nut. Red Ash coals will average of the above sizes S barrels or 24 bushels. Lackawana—il barrels or 24 bushels. Lehigh-7 barrels. or 21 bushels, and Schuylkill about 76 barrels or 211. to 23 bushels. Every coal dealer knows this and every consumer has within his power a positive cheek against robbery.'' Another test is to measure the coal bip, allowing thirty-six cubic feet for a ton of coal. 3Sluitiply the length, width and height of the bin together,„and divide by thirty six, and the result will be the ca pacity of the hil4. LA:“_'ASTER HORSE MARE ET, MONDAY OCT. 30, 1005.—The arrivals, sales and ship merits are about the same as at last report Trout' N.-20 het*pn hand at last report. The arrivals were, to D. M.

No sales, leaving r 2 head on hand. Lemon, Murphy o,:s.—No arrivals or SALE OF THE EXAMINER BUILDING.- TilE property on North Queen street, now occupied by Messrs. Hiestand, Kline & Hartman as a printing establishment, known as the Examiner office, was sold on Saturday last to Messrs. Altick & McGin nis, Carriage Manufacturers, for $15,000. The Examiner office is about being remov ed to the Granite building on the same street, which is being fittted up in fine style. , SURVEYED.—The route for the contem plated railroad from Penningtonville, Ches ter county, to Quarryville, this county, was surveyed last week ; and also the one from Strasburg to New Providence. Which of these two roads will be constructed depends upon the enterprise of the sections of country through which they pass. One of them will in all probability be built. BOY Huwr.—Cn Thursday afternoon last as the Quarryville stage was proceeding along the Willow street pike pretty rapidly, a number of boys jumped on behind. One of them, in the attempt, failed; his foot caught fast in the strap, and he was dragged some distance along the pike before he was discovered, add was somewhat injured in the back. The habit of jumping on behind stages, carriages, etc., is a dangerous ex periment, frequently practiced by boys in this city, and we hope that this may be a warning to them A CHINAMAN AFTER. HIS RETURN HONE FROM THIS COUNTRY.-1141y0f ourreaders remember Hoong Near, theyOung Chinft man brought to this country by Dr. Mes sersmith for the purpose of haiing him ed united in the English langfiage, find who learned the printing Wittiness -at the Er aminer office in this city,--Afterfspending some nine years in this country, he left for his home about a year ago. From a letter received from him by Gerardifs Clarkson, Esq., of this city, we' make the following extracts, from which it will be seen that he 1 expects shortly to engage in the missionary cause in his native country. The letter is dated July 17th, 1865: The Fourth of July is the greatest, hap piest and gayest day for the American peo ple. Bat this year, though crowned with victories, the day passed off here with no more excitement than on the ordinary days of the year. The Americans only displayed flags, and fired 13 guns from each vessel at daylight, noon and sunset, and a few crack ers here and there were exploded during the evening, because the sad event of Mr. Lincoln's death is still in everybody's mind. The Free Masons here laid a corner-stone on the 3d inst., for a new and handsome building, to be put up by one of the lodges. They had a grand procession that day, with flags and all their instruments, etc. This was about the greatest attraction yet from the Europeans in Shanghai. The Chinese did not know what it meant to see so many men dressed with different regalia, one with a big axe, the next with a big Holy Bible in his hand, and so on. About 1,200 men marched in the streets. Some Chinese thought it must be the Queen of England coming, and some called it " foreigners' way." We have " Tsaeh-way," two or three times a'year in China. " Tsaeb-way ' is this: About the greatest show-out of the people in China is: to march together in the streets with idols in chairs, carried by 8 or 16 men on their shoulders. Some dress in white shirts and black vests, with a woolen mo-ga and a small bench ; some with many iron hooks with a chain, and a small vessel with burnt offerings, with smoke like the priests use in Catholic churches, hooked in the skin of theirarms; and some with a boy and a girl seated on a small platform, made of iron, carried on the shoulders; and some walk on two poles, each about six feet high; and some perform juggler's tricks on the road. Such is the kind of procession, the only kind in China, and is called "Tsaeh way.'' I am still engaged in the lumber busi ness. The salary is :81 tales per month, equal to e 4. 15 or 860. I belleVe I mentioned to you before that the Rev. E. H. Thompson asked me to join him in the mission work. Mr. Mombert has u nderstood that I was already studying for the ministry, and sent me a very kind note with a list of twelve volumes of good books, from the friends of ' the St. James Church of Lancaster. I am 'Very sorry to state that I ant not in that holy work which the Lord demands me to do, . but I trust it will be in future to Hint to give me wisdom and power to spread His word among my benighted countrymen. I regret more than any thing else that I was not qualified for that holy work. I told Mr. Thompson so when he spoke to me on the subject last year, but he said "god educa tion does not always make good ministers. I want to know if you were willing to give yourself up to the holy work, as I am en gaged, for I know you will he useful in ninny ways, more so than European Mis sionaries." Then of con rse I gave my con sent and told him to write to the committee and so it was done. Last month the mail brought me the good fittings from the com mittee, that the Rev. E. 11. Thompson's re, quest was granted by the committee, au thorizing him to engage me imniediately in the work. lam sorry to state that I was obliged to ask XI r. Thompson to put it off un til the Ist of January Isol. V.CCANCY IN THE I,EI - 0,4.11'1V'. ItEritEsENTATioN.—The death ol• I NVlwal, cue of the members elect of the Legis lature from this county, says tiwErmitincr, causes a vacancy, which must be tilled by a special election. The Constitution pro vides that: • " When vacancies happen in either Houses, the Speaker shall issue writ* of election to fill such vacancies." And the Act of Assembly providing for elections to supply vacancies, stipulates, that: Every writ which shall be issued by the Speaker of either House of the Legislature, in pursuance of ihe Constitution of, this Commonwealth, to supply a vacancy in such House, shall be directed to the Sheriff or Sheriffs of the proper county or counties, as the case may be, and shall particularly express the dly on which the election shall be held to sugply such vacancy." And again : " Every writ for holdinc• ' a special elec tion, as aforesaid, shall be delivered to the Sheriff, to whom the same shall be directed, at least fifteen days before the day appoint ed for such elections; who shall thrthwith give due and public notice throughout the connty, at least tell days before such elec tion, ,tc.- From the above it will be seen that a special election will be held to till the Va aney after the meeting of the Legislature, on the First Tuesday of January nett, and that the Sheriff will issue his proclamation at the proper time. AN IMPORTANT BANK SPIT.—The Co lumbia Bank has just gained an important case before the U. S. District Court at Phil adelphia. The history of it is given in the Philadelphia Ledger of this morning: The suit of the United States against the Columbia Bank of this State, has been tried in the United States Court, in this city, be fore Judges Grier and Cadwalader, and de cided in favor of the Bank. This decision settles an important question for the old State Banks subject to tax on their circula tion, the we learn that the present Commis sioner of Internal Revenue concurs in the decision made. Under the Act of Congress of June :30, 1861, a monthly duty on tax of one-twelfth of one per cent. was directed to be levied upon the average amount of circulation by any bank, and an additional duty of one-sixth of one Percent. upon the average amount of circulation be yond ninety per cent. of capital, which two taxes the bank paid without scruple. The former Commissioner, Mr. Lewis, insisted, that instead of the tax of one-twelfth of one per cent. on the average, and one-sixth of one per cent. on the excess beyond ninety per cent. 01 capital, the Bank should pay one-twelfth of one per cent., and also one-sixth of one per cent on the average circulation issued by the Bank, in the case of the Columbia, a difference of $-190.37 against the Bunk. This was refused, and a case stated agreed to, upon which, af ter argument by Mr. Gilpin for the United States, and I Thad. Stevens, of Lancas ter, for the Bank, the Court directed judg ment to be entered in favor of the Bank, which, of course, is an end of the claim for the additional tax. Tin; NEW RAILROAD.—The Reading Record of Saturday evening has the follow ing in reference to the new railroad which is being constructed between this city and Alanheitu : The _Yew Railroad to Lancaster.—The work of conSt meting the new Railroad from Manheim to Lancaster is going on rapidly, under Mr. I lawman, of this city, contrac tor. The road is the work of the Reading and Columbia Company and will, no doubt become the road, so far, at least, as travel is trill give ui direct communication Willi Lancaster, not only he distance, but avoiding rhe an noyance of changing cars at Landisville. The new road will branch off some three or four miles south of Manheim, leaving the village of Petersburg about a quarter of a mile to the east, and reaching the line of the Pennsylvania Railroad in the vicinity of Kauffman's Mill, about three miles west of Lancaster, front which point the track will be laid along side of said road into the city, where a new depot will be erected on the site of the Keystone House, in North Queen street about half a square above the depot of the Pennsylvania Company. This additional branch to the Reading and Columbia Railroad will prove valuable to both cities, Reading and Lancaster, as well as to the people along the line. AN IMPOSTER.—About six weeks ago, a man named William C. Patterson, a resi dent of Gatchelville, Fawn township, York county, began operations in Manor, Martic and other townships, this county, as an au thorized agent to collect subscriptions for the poor or sufferers from the burning of Chambersburg. After he had been success ful in raising about $6OO, and left for parts unknown, it was discovered that he was an imposter, and the papers authorizing him to raise said subscriptions were forgeries.— These subscriptions were made in from $5 to $lO each, some few being in less amounts ; he, however, refused to take less than $5. Complaints were made before A. R. Wit mer, Esq., Justice of the Peace for Manor township, who traced the individual to York county,from the description given him he having met him once some time before. He issued warrants for his arrest which he placed in the hands of Constable John B. Hess, of Martic township. The constable went to the residence of Patterson on Mon day last and arrested him. Patterson, how ever, afterwards effected his escape, by as saulting the officer, assisted by his two sons, daughters and wife. The officer after pur suing him a short distance, fired three shots at him, two of which he is certain hit him, but did not prevent him from mlleng his ' escape. A reward of $5O has been offered for his apprehension an4l lodgment in the County Prison. He is about 50 years of age,:s feet, 10] or 11 inches high, stoutly built and square-shouldered ; speaks fluent ly and shows his teeth considerably when engaged in conversation. HALLOW-REN.—,Last-,night was Hallasi een or f' Hallow-Eve,"' as 'it is sometimes tarmed—an occasion that recurs with.each succeeding last day of October. A weft knowii.writer very aptly remarks that it is the vigil ofeve ofAll-Ilaillows' or MI Saints' . day—a day held by the Catholic church in honor of all the saints, and which festival occurs on the Ist day orNovember. It is a common practice of the Catholic church to observe certain days in honor of the re spective saints whose memory they sacred ly revere. Such are the Annunciation, the death of the Apostles and Evangelists, etc. But inasmuch as there are, be - ides, many other saints, for each one of whom it would not be possible to aliserve a separate day of festival, All-Saints' day IB A celebrated in honor of these collectively. There is nothing specially different in the religions exercises of this occasion to distinguish it from similar celebrations in honor of individual saints, but having a more comprehensive applica tion, it has attained a degree of observance outside of the Catholic church which none of the other festival days have. The observ ance of these days is among the most solemn rites of Catholicity. • On this night, the last of October, accord ing to Scotch tradition, fairies and witches held their carnival ; and festivities and for tune telling often characterized tha celebra tion of the event in the olden time. It was in keeping with this view that, Burns wrote his celebrated poem, " Hallow-een," in which he says : Upon that night, when fairies light On ()IsSilis Downans. dance, Or owre the lays, In splendid blaze, On sprightly coursers prance ; Or for Coteau the route is ta'en, Beneath the moon's pale beams; Then up the covet to stray an' rove Among the ro It and streams To sport that night.

T E.;S: ENV R A 114t0A D.—The Reading Re cord of last evening has the following addi tional item in reference to the new railroad now being constructed between this city and Manbeini: The Hammer Creek I:ap and Lancaster Railroad, is the title of the new road now iu coarse of construction from Manheitn to Lancaster, to which we referred a few days ago. It is to be extended from Manhehn, northward through Hammerereek Gap to Pinegrove, and ultimately from Lancaster southward to New Castle, Delaware, where coal can be shipped during any season of the year. This enterprise is therefore of great importance to the Schuylkill coal operators. THE SEASON FOR Funs.—The season for wearing furs is now at hand. Ladies wish ing to purchase new or have old ones re paired should call on Mr. Frederick J. Scheuing, at his store, No. 141 South Queen street. He has a splendid assortment of all kinds on hand of his own manufacture, and as a workman there is none better in the country. Ile is polite, obliging and at tentive, and a visit to his• establishment will not be regretted by any of our lady readers. A SHREWD PLAN. -It is stated that the counterfeiters of the new fifty-cent national currency notes have adopted a shrewd plab. The counterfeit is an excellent one, and apt to deceive good judges; but in order the more effectually to deceive, they have spelt the word "designated," on the right comer, "disignated, - on some of the notes, thus leaving many persons under the impression, that :11l the counterfeits are so spelt and ea - lily detected. This is all a mistake, and but very few of the notes have this misspelling on them. NiI.LED.—Mr. William O'Donnell, form erly a Despatcher on the Pennsylvania Railroad, at Columbia, and recently ap pointed Conductor on the Sunbury and Erie Railroad, was killed at Northumber land yesterday morning. He fell tinder the train, was run peer and cut in two.— He had just entered upon his duties in his new situation. THE exhibition of Dr. Hartman's Patent Safety Bridle and Lines will take place at 'Millersville on Saturday next. The Dr. is extremely , anxious that all persons owning fractious, vicious or unmanageable horses should have them on the ground. The ex hibition will be well worth seeing, and will doubtless create a great revolution in the horse line in this county.

It will be read with interest by the many relatives and friends of the 77th in this city: HEADQUARTERS IST BRIGADE, 2D PROVOST) DIV., DEPT OF TEXAS, A. A. T. Hen. 1- OFFICE, CAMP STANLEY, Oct. 3, 1813.5. FRIEND MORTON Since my last letter to you, dated July 25th, I have been, Micaw her like, " waiting for something to turn up," to write to you about; but nothing of interest has transpired since then. On Tues day, August Bth, at 3 o'clock A, M., we broke camp at Green Lake, and started, as we supposed, for San Antonio, but by some turn of the "wheel" our destination was changed to Victoria, (about .94 miles from Green Lake,) at which place we arrived at 12 o'clock M. of the .oth, and on the morn ing of the 10th marched six miles to this camp, on the banks of the Gaudalope river, (about as large as Mill creek,) and where we have been laying quietly ever since. I see no sign of the 77th Pennsylvania getting home soon. Within the last two weeks seven regiments" have been muster ed out of the corps, (that was,) all of which were Western troop's; and the 2d Pennsyl vania Independent Battery, formerly com manded by the lamented Captain Stevens, who fell at Chickamauga, are to, be muster ed out next week. The '77th are now doing post duty at Victoria, in place of the 51st Ohio, mustered out. Everything is quiet about here, and were it not fop the presence of the military, a stranger would not know that there had ever been any war. The health of the regiment is improving, owing, I suppose, to the change of the weather. One blanket is hardly sufficient to keep a person Comfortable at night, but is about the middle of the day. The Geor gia summer custom would not be a bad style for this section of the country. think if friend Franke were here with as supply of good beer he might make a "good thing of it."

T HE WORLD AN INDEPENDENT DEMOCRATIC DAIL Y, After fourtears of civil war, forced upon the people of the United Staffs by the violence of sectional parties, we now enter upon a new era of unity and of progress. North and South, a cordial co-operation of all honest men is needed to repair the waste of war, to establish our Peace through the triumph of sound con stitutional principles in the administration of the government, and our Unity by guarding all that makes Un'on desirable. The great Democratic Party, whose history in thq past is the historyof private prosperity, of territorial extension. and of public order in America, stands now, as it has ever sto xt, the Party of the Nation, superior to all sectional Passions in its loyalty to the rights of co-equal States and to the liberties of the individual citizen. Once more - its Voice will be heard, once more its adherents will be rallied to its time-honored standards in every city and town of the Northern and of the Southern States. To the principles of this great_ Democratic Party of the Nation, THE WORLD has borne 4S head cattle 416 " firm witness throughout the ordeal of civil sear. It will now be devoted to' the not less 44 " ss " zu " 23 " 10 " 154 arduous task of applying those principles to the solution of the many and weighty ques tions—financial, social, political—which come upon us with the return of peace.

In order to convince every one, whether in favor of, or predudiced against it, the under signed will give a free public exhibition of th' Patent on the 4th of Novenetter,lB6s, at Lechey's Hotel, in Millersville, 3 miles from Lancaster city, where t e or his agent will drive, free of charge, any and ewer v klcki g or runaway horse that may be brought. He earnestly in vites every body to come and see I Jr themselves and especially every person who owns a kick- Ina or runaway horse. The Patentee w 11 pay $2OO for each and every horse that can ither kick or run away when subject to the control of the inven. ion. By combining the two patents, ju.t double the p wer is had over the original. The object o this exh bition is to show that no man is for a moment justillabm In driving any horse, no matter how gentle, without this patent bridle, as there is nothing that wick( d orses do that gentle ones cannot do when fr ghtened. Nine out of every ten accidents with horses, ta .e place with the gee tie family horse. The exhibition will commence at 10 o'clock, A. M., at which time we would like to have all the kiciiing and runaway horses on the ground. Tne price o individual rights is S 5 each ; County Rights, from $lOO,OO to $500,00, according to population—those containing large cities excepted. No other investment before the public:pre sents such inducements of making mo., ey. In every county there are at least twenty town ships, and in each township at least one hun dred persons who drive horses—which et five d liar for en individual ight will amount to $5OO per township, and 810,000, for each county at the rate of twenty townsuips at SSW eacn ! have not the least doubt!but that amount of money can be made out of a county with pro per t usiness tact and energy. The, price of counties is so small as to place the investment in the bands of every one, for f- w are so poor s to be unable to raise one hundred do 3 lars. Andtlier feature about i his invention is that the proprietor or territory need not manufac tire till bridles and lines a 3 the ordinary bridle can be easily altered into a Safety Bridle. The lines ouly require to be made to order, and these can be made by any saddler for a trifle more than the ordinary lines. Hence unlike other patents, the right to use it only is sold. After the exhibition, individual, county and State rights can be had of the patentee. For further particulars address S. B.
