"National Praise." ".Bright and Chery." "Morning'S Ruddy Beam. "The Angel's Welcome." The first exercises of the morning was a Class Drill, on Geography, by Mr. A. C. Apgar. This gentlemen thought we taught geography too much.. In his opinion, we shOuld spend less time iu the teaching of it, and dwell more on the general and impor tant features, and particularly on map drawing. He explained in detail his method of teaching map-drawing,.and made some exceedingly interesting remarks on the vegetation of the world, the limits of the. various grains, fruits and vegetables, and their characteristics in different sections. This effort might more appropriately be termed a lecture than a class drill. A class drill on Mental Arithmetic was next in order. The leader, Mr. H. F. Pierce, after requesting the members to vacate the first two rows of seats, called on volunteers for his class. He then proceeded to practi cally.illustrate his method of conducting a recitation in Mental Arithmetic by reading various problems to the class and consider ing the members as so many little boys and girls attending common sc.iool. Music—" Home is the Best." Lecture on Elocution, by Prof. Robert Kidd, of Cincinnati, (author of" Kidd's Vo cal Culture and Elocution.") He said that Elocution consists of good reading and speaking.'''He enumerated and exempli fied some of the conditions essential to good reading and speaking, viz: Correct Atti. tude, Correct Breathing, Purity of Tone— with the least possible expenditure of breath —such a knowledge of :ill the elements of sound as will enable one to give all these elements, either singly or in combination. The speaker must also acquire a perfect control of his voice so as to lie able to make it harsh or soft, or give force to any desired word or syllable ; lie must also have a full control over his facial muscles so as to as sume the expression essential to give due effect to what is said, and he must have a perfect understanding of the meaning of the language uttered. Ile thought there was entirely too much teaching and too little training. "Train up a child in the way it should go and when it is old it will ,not depart from it." In conclusion the speaker read a poetical composition en titled—" First Appearance in Type." Music—" Unfurl the Banner." Adjourned I=l The Institute met at 2P. M. Roll called and absentees marked. Music by the choir Address by Calvin Cutter, M. 1)., of Mas sachusetts. Subject—Physiology.

These three objects are— methods of Study, methods of Teaching, and Practice. Ile spoke principally of the method of studying the Bones and Muscles, illustratinwhis subject by means of portions of a French Mannikin, bones, charts, etc. "Morning's Ruddy Beam "The Dawn of Peace.' . "The Angel's Welcome." The next address was delivered by Prot. N. P. Wickersham. Ile had hoped to be excused this year from lecturing before the Institute, as he had served in that capacity so frequently, that he hardly knew upon what subject to speak. The Committee of Arrangements, however, had literally press ed him into the service. T.Lwy had allotted to him two half hours. lie would, there fore, lecture again to-morrow afternoon.— He had concluded to take up these two sub jects, viz: " First Steps in Teaching Chil dren to Read," and "First Steps in Teach ing Children Grammar. - The ordinary method or teaching children to road is, let to teach them the names of the letters; 2d, to spell easy words of two letters on the book, and :3(1, to pronounce those words or read them. He supposed the majority of the teachers in this county would so teach reading to the beginners. Ile would criticise this method— he objected to it, and gave various reasons for so doing. The Prof. then explained his method, laying down these two principles: Ist. In teaching we must always proceed from the concrete to the abstract—from what the pupil can see to what he cannot see. 2nd. We must always proceed from what is known (by the child) to what is unknown (by the child). The first step in his method would be to acquaint the child with words that stand for familiar things. The second step should be the teaching of the names of the letters, and the third step to teach them the sounds of the letters. lie would then have the three methods proceed together in each lesson. Recess of 10 minutes "Sehool Bays." " Unfurl the Banner.'' After which Prot'. Robert Kidd delivered his third lecture on elocution. lie said he purposed giving his whole attention during the afternoon to exercises in vocal culture. During the course of his lecture he drilled the members of the Institute in giving some of the elementary sounds of the vowels, and, in conclusion, gave an inimitable read ing of "Mrs. Candle's Curtain Lecture op Shirt Buttons." The Professor treats his subject in a masterly manner, and can al 'ways command the undivided attention of, the audience. MUSIC.

Class drill on Penmanship by Prof. J. I,r. Montgomery, Principal of the State Model School at Millersville; approves of having classes in writing. Teachers should pay particular attention to Penmanship, and he was glad to see that the teachers were pay ing more attention to penmanship than what they did a few years ago. Pupils ,should sit with the right side next to the -desk, the arm should be parallel with the .copy; teachers should be particular so that the pupils hold the pen the proper way. He . _ then explained all the principles, and how to form the letters. The drill was very in teresting and instructive. Prof. Mont gomery is a very good lecturer on Penman ship, and considered one of the best penman in the State. The Professor will give sev eral drills during the week. Music—By the Columbia Choir. Drill in conducting or teaching the Al phabet and Spelling, by W. Riddle. He would use the drawing out process. Miss Watson, A. G. Newpher, S. G. Behmer and A. W. Shuman, participated in the exercise: Music—" School Days." Prof. Kidd then took the stand again, and lectured on elocution, or rather gave us a drill exercise, he did not believe in the loose and desultory method of teaching as is com monly indulged in by a great many teach ers. He thought that a little friendly ridi cule was sometimes benificial to those that are careless in their manners and habits. He said there were some persons in the land who did not fear man, God, or devil, but by a little ridicule would be almost scared out of their wits. He thinks teachers should be very strict in teaching reading and elocution ; he would have strict rules and those rules would have to be obeyed by all his pupils, young and old, he gave some practical exercises in elocution. All should be in attendance on Thursday evening, at 7 P.. 11., as Prof. Kidd will give us some of his interesting instructions and amusing entertainments.

D., delivered a discourse on Physiology. It was a very plain, prac tical lecture, and very instructive, and the teachers should by all means take notes of all his lectures, as these lectures will be of great benefit to teachers in their school rooms. Teachers, also, should not forget and purchase copies of the Doctor's works on " Physiology,' After an intermission of five minutes Prof. Porter, D. D., of Franklin and Mar shall College, then took the stand, and gave the Institute a narrative or a late trip to Lake Superior. The description , of the scenery along the great lakes was a splen did one and.very entertaining, and we hope that the Doctor will give us some further account of this trip. Recess of to minutes. MUSIC. "rho Old Brown Cap." Prof.J. P. Wickersham then delivered a lecture. Subject: First steps in teaching children (Irammar. Recapitulated some of the principles and points treated of in his last lecture. Thought that we generally commenced teaching grammar in the wrong way, violating one of the general principles given yesterday, by teaching too abstruse ly. We should commence giving instruc tion in language as soon as the child can talk; but formal grammar, or the science of grammar, can not be taught with advan tage before the child is twelve or fourteen years of age. We should begin by giving object lessons on words. This is all that we can expect to teach young children. " Unfurl the Banner Prof. Kidd followed in sonic remarks on Reading and Pronunciation. In public speaking, he sajd, persons should he partic ular to articulate distinctly and pronounce every word correctly. EVENING SEs,ius Institute met at 7 P. M. "The Morning's Ruddy Beam. - " Remember thy Creator." "National Praise." Essay—By Lizzie Johnson. Subject: "Review of Studies." The essay was well written and indeed very well read.

Herr read an essay entitled "School Examinations and Exhi bitions.•" The Captain had a rine produc tion, but was unable to do justice in read ing it on account of a bad cold. Essay—By A. W. Snader. Subject: "The Teacher as a Speaker." The essay was well written, but might have been better read, :considering the nature of the subject. "Unfurl the Banner Prof. Ed. Brooks, A. M., Normal School, was then introduced and delivered a lec ture. S*bject : "Influence of Education upon Religion." The Prof. gave us a very fine discourse on this subject. He said that education leads the mind to religion. There are those who contend that education tends to irre ligion, and this feeling has some advocates in our own county. It is our duty to eradi cate this feeling. It was held by some that learning was the work of the evil one. God is the author of all truths, He put the truths in stones, in trees, and in all things. We do not invent those truths, but they have been from the beginning. Education leads to religion because it causes or fits the mind to understand the principles of religion. Who is best ahle to understand re ligion? The educated or the uneducated. God is a spirit and those who , worship him must do so in spirit and truth. We as teachers, it is our duty to teach that learn ing tends to religion. Let us gather our little children around us and tell them of our Great Father who made us all. In conclusion he said " let all as teachers not only teach our little pupils grammar, ariths metic, &c., but teach them the word Of God. Tell them the difference between right and wrong. Let us take pleasure in teaching them, and thus instil into their young hearts a love for God and religion, and when from earth we pass away, may we all as teachers and pupils be gathered to gether in the great Institute where Christ shall be our Teacher. " The Angels' Welcome." The songs which are sung at the Institute were selected and arranged by A. 0. New pher, of Columbia, who also leads the sing ing. The list comprises fifteen very appro priate pieces, several of which are real musical gems. Miss E. Slaymaker, of Co lumbia, pi e , ides at the piano. The instru ment was very kindly furnished to the In stitute by our friend Win. E. Heinitsh, West Orange street, in this city. All will please remember Prof. Kidd's amusing entertainment this evening at 7 P. M., in the Court Room. Adjourned at 9.30 P. M. THURSDAY-MORNING SESSION. The Institute met at 9 A. M.. The Presi dent in the chair. Prayer by J. H. Witmer. Music—" Angel's Welcome." A class drill on Grammar, by Prof. A. R. Byerly, A. M., of State Normal School at Millersville. He wanted the teachers to re member the English sentence, and wished to know how many teachers teach the anal ysis in Grammar in their schools. He then analyzed several sentences, giving the prop er forms of analysis. He first analyzed the subject and predicate, and then those ele ments that limit the subject and predicate. He thinks we cannot obtain a correct notion of sentences, simply by parsing words. It is necessary for us to consider the collec tions of words or complex idea. In order to analyse a sentence correctly, you must understand the relations of the idea express ed; you must carefully study the Etymolo gy of words, at least as far as concerns their derivation. Music—" School Days." A committee of one was appointed from each township to obtain subscribers for the " Pennsylvania School Journal." Music—" I live for those who Love me." Class-drill on moral institutions, led by H. F. Pierce, in the course of which he called upon the members for their opinions and methods of treating or punishment in flicted by them in cases of theft, fighting, &c. He submitted the question, Whether pupils should be called upon for their testi mony in ferreting out crimes. The discus sions which ensued were participated in by Messrs. Bachman, Fry, Danner, Leaman, Riddle, Bradley, Hills, Oberlin, Turner, Shaul:, and others. 311391. C. " Horne is the Best." " Unfurl the Banner." Exercise on Elocution by Prof. Kidd who took the stand amid tremendous ap plum. He completed his drill on elemen tary sounds in theword ‘X.aiiileaster," illus trating the principles of emphasis and ex pressions, using short sentenoesfor thepur pose. AFTERNOON SESSION Institute met at 2 P. M., the President in the chair. Music-" Angel's Welcome." Roll called and absentees marked. Lecture on Physiology, by Calvin Clatter, M. D. He would give object lessons on the subject to the pupils of district schools, and would also take up the structure and uses of prominent parts of the human frame, and would have classes and a text book, and repeat the instruction until understood and rendered familiar. In the absence of models he would use diagrams, or use the corresponding parts of domestic animals. Good air, good and regular food, and cleanly habits are of the utmost importance in securing and preser ving good health. Ought we not to look at those lungs that God has given us? Should we not try to understand the air whichlsur rounds us and which we are constantly ta king into our lungs. When air is taken in to the lungs once, it is not quite lit to be ta ken in again. Some of the oxygen it con tained is taken from it, and the more fre quently it is breathed, the more impure it becomes. Bad air is the cause and suppor ter of many diseases. Look at the statistics of Europe and you will rind that the chole ra held its high carnival wherever bad and pure air exists. Illustrated by means of a very simple experiment, the great change the atmosphere undergoes after remaining a brief time in the lungs. A small piece of candle fastened to a_ piece of stick, was lighted and inserted into a common glass jar, when it was fohnd to burn as clearly as if in a candlestick ; but upon breathing in to the jar, and then inserting the lighted candle, it was immediately extinguished. " The Old Brown Cap. - " Morning's Ruddy Beams." Prof. J. P. Wickersham then delivered a most able and eloquent discourse on "The Problem of Culture." Many persons en tertain very narrow views concerning the work of education. They consider it only a Preparation for the common business du ties of life. Even some teachers have no broader views of the work than these. The end of Culture is perfection. In this end all others centre. The problem of culture with this end in view consists of two things, viz: lst, Ascertaining the powers to be cul tured. 2d, Ascertaining the forces that are operative in culture. The first power that admits of culture is the human body. It admits culture in beauty, agility, strength and endurance. The 3d power is the human intellect, which admits of culture as a whole and each of the faculties that go to make it up, the intellect adinits of culture, the perceptive powers, the memory, etc. The 3rd power is the susceptibilities—the feelings. Children can be made more con scientious,. more honorable, inure kind, more polite. This is almost an unknown land to many teachers. 4th. The Will Power—the power that gives us firmness, courage, determination, administrative and executive abilities.— This will power makes heroes of men, and he liked it. He liked grit in a man, good old Anglo-Saxon pluck. Back of all these powers there is still higher power,—a cen tral self—the heart of the soul—the Spiritu- ell power. We have senses that look to earthly things, and senses—spiritual senses —that look upward to another world. It is every man's duty to see that this power re ceives cultivation. This exhausts the pow ers. With respect to the forces to be ap plied, he said, we have certain innate forces. All persons are not alike nor can they be made alike by any educator. Every one differs in some respect from every other There is such a thing as Genius,- -is a gift from God. Great men were al ways born and never made. Ile also recognizes the force of circum stances, of climate, soil, productions, mode of life, etc. The next force is the force of education and lastly he recognizes a spiritual force There is no such thing as positive philoso illy in the sense that Cenipte uses it. Al science has its basis upon faith. MuSic—" Unfurl the Banner." Henry Houck, Counts , superintendent of Lebanon county, was then introduced. He gave - us a very fine little speech, and made a good impression upon the members of the Institute. Music—" The (lid Brown Cot." Prof. Cutter followed Mr. Houck by a short lecture on the "Blood, its purity and puri ty.' • The present Institute is the most pro paring and instructive that was ever held in this county. The navies of three hundred and sixty teachers were enrolled on Thurs day evening at 5 o'clock. Adjourned at 5 P. M. Institute met at a A. Ai On motion of E. 11. Green, the Institute dispensed with the eallingof the roll. Pray er by Rev. Mr. Changes. J. P. McCaskey moved that the names of the teachers of each district that are attend ing the Institute should be published in the daily and weekly papers of Lancaster, and that h be also published, whether directors allow the teachers the time to attend this Institute, or whether they are obliged to make it up. Mr. Evans said, he was sorry to state, that quite a number of teachers had been in at tendance during the week, and reaping the benefits without enrolling their names and paying their fee of membership. He also announced that he would hold several other Institutes in the county, at different times during the winter, oue at New Holland and one at Mount Joy. He then stated, that the teachers would be adniitted this evening to Prof. Kidd's lecture without charge, by producing their certificates of membership. Class-drill by B. F. Shaub, on Written Arithmetic. A. Fry, Houck and others participated in the drill. Prof. J. V. 'Montgomery then took the stand again, to give a drill on Penmanship. He gave his methods in hearing his classes in the State Model School, in Penmanship. "He had but 30 minutes to hear a class of seventy-five pupils. He does not permit any one to be writing while he gives in struction. lle then explained his method in starting classes in copy books, and the method in conducting the different classes, the analysis of the letters, the rules M spacing, &c. The drill was quite Instruc tive and interesting. MUSIC. " The Old Brown Cot. " 'Unfurl the Banner." Class-drill on School Government, by Prof. A. 0. Newpher, Principal of the Col umbia Public Schools. J. H. Stauffer, H. G. Rush, Houck, Grove, Bachman, Dr. Calvin Cutter, B. D. Danner and others. " I live tor those who love." " Morning's Ruddy Beam Elocutionary Exercises by Prof. Kidd.— He recommended teachers to practice much in force of voice, in concentrating great force on particular syllables, at the same time they should economize their breath as much as possible, expending no more than is absolutely necessary. Recited a passage from Byron's " Waterloo" as an example of expression and emphasis. Attacked in a vigorous manner the rules given in school readers and works on Elocution for the in flections of the voice. To read well you must study nature, you must possess a lively fancy, a vivid imagination. No rules in the world can help you. Gave an example of pathetic expression by reading " Rain upon the Roof." Also read " Love, Murder, and Matrimony" as an example of a different style of composition. AFTERNOON SESSION " Say a kind word when you can." "The Old Brown Cot." "School Days." " Angel's Welcome." ' Bright and Cherry." " Morning's Ruddy Beams." Dr. Cutter took the stand and opportuni ty to speak about catarrh and colds. There is no necessity for the almost incessant spit ting which characterises us as an American people. We should let the parts rest. Spoke of the heart and the circulation of the blood. He would make his instfuctiont in our ele mentary schools as practical, as common sense, as common place as possible. Prof. Kidd then delivered his closing lee_ tore on Elocution. He treated more partic ularly of stress of delivery. Showed how cases of Antithesis and comparison should b e treated. We should glye our significant words !!.ligte to . , stook - elintax...and Transitions of the voice also received their due share of 'attention. By request be ro cited several piece's which he had given on previous occasions, among which was the Categorical Courtship. Lecture on Arithmetic by Prof. Brooks, taking up that portion termed Denominate numbers. He said that a great many teach ers do not understand this subject as well as they should. Dr; Cutier then took the stand and deliv ered his closinglecture on Physiology. The lecture was very instructive and interesting The Dr. certainly deserves great credit.— His lectures were all very instructive,— those he delivred during the week. He is a very good practical lecturer; in tact, is considered the most practical lecturer on Physiology in the New England States. Adjourned at 5 P. AL SATURDAY MORNING Institute met at 9 A. M. President in the chair. Prayer by J. H. Witmer. Rolled called and absentees marked. MUSIC. "Morning's Rudy Beam." " National Praise." " I live for those who love me." "The Angels Welcome."

Kieffer and Miss Matilda David, former members of the Institute. On motion of S. C. Oberlin, the Superin tendent was requested to address the teach ers of the Institute. Mr. Evans then ad dressed the teachers in a fine, strong speech. He thanked the teachers fbr attendance, and said that this was the largest Institute ever held in the county, and hoped that they were all highly benefitted by their attend ance, and prayed that the teachers would apply in:their schools what they have heard. Ile wished to see how many in the county will study Physiology, Moral Philosophy, and other branches that will be greatly beneficial. The Report of the Auditing Comtnittee was then offered and accepted. On motion of J. H. Witmer, it was agreed to hold the next Institute on the 2d Mon day in November, 186 a. The Chairman of the Committee on Res olutions, then offered the following reso lutions, which were adopted: WitEllEes, The Common School Teachers of Lancaster county have again assembled in the city of Lancaster, for the purposes of mutual encouragement and mutual im provement, and from a desire to secure a greater degree of unanimity in promoting the cause of popular Education. Resolved, That the presence of nearly four hundred teachers, who have deemed it their duty to attend the sessions of this In stitute during the past week, allbrds conclu sive evidence, that in the educationaLallairs of our county, the shadow upon the dial goes not backwards; and that the vantage ground we have already gained, is regard ed only as a base of operations from which more enduring successes are yet to be achieved. Resolved, That the impetus given to the progress of Education in this country by the happy return of peace, is without a parallel in our past history. 'Resolved, That the common school teach er, more than almost any other individual in the land, finds especial cause for gratu lation at the glorious issue of the most tre mendous civil war in history. Knowing, as he does, that the abiding influence of the Omni/ten School WILS the strong pillar that upheld our National Temple when it totter ed to its fall amid the earthquake throes of the rebellion; and further, Resolved, That in the utter destruction of negro slavery,—the cause of the war,—and in the hopeful prospect of the spread of pop ular education in the Southern States, through the speedy introduction of an en lightened common school system, addition al reaspns for congratulation are found, greater perhaps, than any that have presen ted themselves in the past history of the ed ucational movement in our country. Resolved, That it is with feelings of pecu liar pride and pleasure that we welcome back to our ranks, after their long campaign ing, those members of our Institute, who durinc . ' the past four years have wielded t sword and carried the musket, battling for the noblest cause in which man ever fought; those who as soldiers of the Republic, whether in the camp, on the march, or in the fight have always done the work o f mercy, have everywhere nobly discharged the duties of freemen. Resolved, That in common with many similar associations of teachers, we deem it essential to the best interests of the country that a National Educational Bureau be organized at Washington, and that Congress be memorialized at its conning session to make the proper legislation for the speedy organization of such Bureau. Renolved, That every teacher should he a subscriber to at least one leading educa tional journal and one leading literary news paper. Of educational periodicals, none has stronger claims upon us than the Pennsyl vania School Journal. Resolved, That our acknowledgments are due Prof. Kidd, Dr. Cutter, Professors Wickersham, Brooks, Byerly and Mont gomery in the department of lectures, etc.; and Mr. A. 0. Newpher, Prof. Hall and oth ers, in the department of music, for their successful efforts toward rendering our ses sions both pleasant and profitable. ReNolred, That the thanks of the Institute are hereby tendered to our worthy Super intendent and to the Executive Committee for their efforts to render the exercises of the Institute harmonious and advantageous to those in attendance. RP:solved, That our acknowledgements are also due the "Daily intelligencer" and " Daily EdpreNN," for their uniform courte sy and readiness to publish full reports of our proceedings; as well as to our County Commissioners who kindly granted the In stitute the use of the Court Room—a room much more comfortable, and better adapted to our purposes than the Hall in which our sessions have heretofore been held ; and we would recommend, that if possible, the same room be secured for future sessions of the Institute. B. F. SHAER. J. B. M'CASKEY, .1. IL SHIRK, MARY E. WATsos, ANNIE HOUSEKEEPER. The Committee appointed to draft reso lutions relative to the death of Miss Lizzie It.

Kieffer and Miss Tillie David, former teachers of Lancastercounty, therefore Resolved, That in the deceased we recog nized two of our most active and devoted teachers, and who, by their consistent life and earnest zeal, won the respect and love of all who knew them. Resolved, That in the removal of our for mer fellow-teachers we feel that the Com mon Schools have sustained a deep loss, and that we as teachers must mourn over two active and successful co-workers. Resolved, That though the ways of Prov idenco :ire inscrutable and "past finding a we recognize in this dispensation the hand of God, and humbly submit to His will—knowing that "He doetb all things well." Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be presented to the families of the deceased, and that they be published in the Daily Ex press and Ldelligencer of this city. E. H. GREEN, J. E. OBERLIN, J.

Its principal effects upon the system are mildly stimulating, diuretic, sudorific' and tonic. It will prove beneficial in effections of the Kidneys, and Chronic diseases, with general debility of the constitution. Physicans may safely recommend it to their patients, in place of the many doubt ful mixtures too often sold as pure wines. JAS. R. CHILTON dz. CO.. Analytical Chemists. For sale by Henry E.

"OARtnii*.A. Visit toiDarlisle during the past week revived many pleasant reininis cenees'of the days of childhood and boy hood. Years have elapsed since we last trod its wide and beautiful streets, and we find that many. improvements have been made in the town. It still presents the aristocratic air for which ithas alwaysbeen noted, but its inhabitants are the same ge nial, sociable, hoqpitable people as of yore. Many sad changes, however, have taken place. Numbers of the old inhabitants have passed off the stage of action, and are "sleeping their last sleep'neath the clods of the valley;" while others are scattered over different portions of the Union. Strange faces met our gaze at every turn, and many of the companions of our youth " have gone to that bourne from which no traveller re 'turns." ' Alter life's fitful fever they sleep well There are a number of really beautiful private residences in Carlisle, and the pub lic buildings present an appearance not surpassed by those of any other town. The squares on which the Court House, Market House, Episcopal and First Presbyterian Churches are situated,it seemed to us, looked prettier than ever. The Garrison, which was destroyed by the Confederates during their invasion of Pennsylvania in the month of July, 1863, has been rebuilt on a larger and more magnificent scale. The churches, of which the borough boasts a goodly nom ber, are neat and beautiful structures. The town is supplied with water from the COno doguinet creek, and the stores, dwellings and streets are lighted with gas. We no ticed no perceptible change in the appear ance of Dickinson College, the alma mater of the lamented Chief Justice Taney, and our distinguished fellow-citizen, ex-Presi dent Buchanan. The spacious grounds or campus have the same attractions, and were thronged with promenaders, the fair sex predominating. Durbin, Emory, McClin tock, Allen, Caldwell, Sudler, and others of one of the ablest faculties in the country, are gone, and their places are supplied by others. Emory, Caldwell and Sudler s are dead, and the others are tilling important positions elsewhere. We called upon a number of old friends, and the Lilac passed delightfully calling up and having a panoramic view as it were of the scenes, sports and joys of other days. The press gang were, of course, not forgot ten; and Bratton of the l'olantecr, Itheem t Weakley of the Meru!!, and Cornman of the D,,,aociat WI-re all It home with their "latch-strings out." Our friend Bratton. in connection with Mr. Kennedy of the Shippensburg Valley ,S'entinel, has bought the Democrat, and the three papers are to be united, which will to' alike beneficial to the proprietors and the Democracy of Hltl Mother Cumberland. For fifty years the robent,.. , l• has been the faithful anti efficient organ ut the Democracy of Cumberland county, umd it has always been conducted with spirit and ability. Success attend the en enterprise. Messrs. Rheein Weakley, w publishers of the Republican organ of the county, are worthy and estimable young gentlemen, and are reaping a rich reward of greenbacks for publishing a readable and spicy paper. There were a series of tableaux given at Rheent's Hall, a commodious,building, du ring several evenings of the week, by the young ladies and gentlemen of the town, and ninny of the scenes were equal to any that we have ever seen presented on any stage. The entertainments, which were for the benefit of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Lane at Philadelphia, were pretty well at ended. During our visit to Carlisle the Poor House ,f Cumberland county was destroyed by tire. The buildings are situated about two miles east of the town, and the loss will pro bably amount to $9,000 or $lO,OOO, which is covered by insurance. It was a sad sight to see the distress of the poor, unfortunate E I ,IIIE=IIIIIIII=BIIEI3IIII ion, one whom we know as an aetive, en ergetic business man, is now an inmate of the same, and looked more wo-begone than any others we saw. Such is life. No man can tell what a day may bring forth. We have written a brief and. hurried :a count of our visit, and have returned to our desk with the most pleasurable emotions of the same. The IlUsentlt might Have been fuller and our pen called into requisition to spark of the beauty of the fair sex, the fine, wanly proportions of the young men and various other nnitters, but tulle and space forbid. We hope to see front an abler pen at some future day an interesting and entertaining sketch of what we believe to be the roost beautiful town in Pennsylvania. DR. HARTMAN'S HORSE EXHIBITION.- The trial of Dr. Hartman's patent bridle for the complete management of kicking and runaway horses, postponed two weeks ago on account of the weather, came off at Millersville on Saturday, as announced in our advertising columns. Not less than 1,.500 gentlemen were present, including a large number of the sporting fraternity. The experiments did not commence until sonic time utter the hour announced, on ac count or the non-arrival of sonic ill-man nered animals that were expected. When everything was in readiness, the Doctor drove into the crowd with two of his own horses, one hitched with the common blind bridle, and the other with the patent safety. lie explained to his audience :lac difference in the construction of the hre,a,, which, he said, was almost imperceptible, but in effect there \vas a vast difference. The first animal experimented upon was a blind mare, belonging to a man near Co lumbia, said to be ;in uncontrollable kicker. As soon as the rein was drawn upon her, she stubbornly refused to kick ; but, as scull as the Doctor released his hold, she showed her "irons" in line style. A slight application of force upon the reins, how ever, w o nt cured her, and she was driven over the ground as though she had never known a bad trick. The second was a mare owned by Mr. E. Painter, of Drumore township She was first driven with the ordinary bridle, and proved to the audience that sire needed the Doctor's attention. Upon the first applica" don of the safety bridle, the animal suc ceeded in raising her heels, occasioned by the entanglement of the reins in the homes. It was evident to all present that the kick ing was no fault of the Doctor's nor his bri dle; for, as SO.ll as the reins were properly adjusted, and the Doctor seated behind her, she moved oft:quietly, to the entire satisfac tion ot her owner, who immediately pur chased the right to use the bridle. Then came the third animal, which it was thought would defeat the Doctor, and win the stake ; but, like those previously tried, he could not withstand the safety . , bridle, and succumbed immediately. The fourth and last animal was owned by F. S. Metz, of Columbia ; but was bought on the morning of the exhibition by Isaac Young, for $B5, with the firm belief that he would win the $2OO. Hitched with the or dinary bridle he kicked frightfully upon every application of the whip. The day be fore he had broken the arm of the man who drove him.: Some of the Doctor's friends, upon this violent exhibition of his viciousness,ex pressed it as their opinion that the safety bridle would not subdue him.— The Doctor applied it, and to the amaze ment of the owner and the crowd, and the entire satisfaction of the Doctor, be stood as quiet as a lamb. • Every means were used to make him re sort to his bad habit, but he persistently re fused—the Doctor had completely controlled him, and the crowd adjourned without waiting for more evidence, being fully sat isfied that the bridle would do all that was claimed for it. Hundreds of applications were made for individual and county rights. Dr. Hartman may congratulate himself upon his successful exhibition. LANCASTER HORSE MARKET, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20TH, 1865.—The trade is at present somewhat dull, with prices looking up. The arrivals and sales at the different stables during the week are as follows : Trout's.—There were at last report 11 head remaining in the stables. The arrivals were 10 head bought in the county.

Caspel, Esq., of Marietta, was ap pointed Foreman of the Grand Jury.— Judge Long then charged the Grand Jury, defining their duties, tte. One hundred and sixty-five cases have been continued to this term, besides which one hundred and twelve new cases have been returned. Henry Newcomer and David Slaughter, having offered to enter a plea of guilty on the charge of selling beer without license, made against them at the last term of the Court, were brought up for sentence, but as no bill of indictment had yet been found against them, the Court ordered it to be referred to the Grand Jury. Notice was given that an adjourned Court of Quarter Sessions will be held, com mencing on the 2d Monday of January next. After transacting the usual current busi ness, the Court adjourned until 2l o'clock, P. M. Monday Afternoon.—Daniel F. Crohn, con victed of fornication and bastardy at the last term of the Court, was called up and sentenced to pay the usual fine. • Com'th vs. Henry Snow. Indicted for assault and battery.

He was also charged with having committed an assault and battery on Mr. Hanauer, when ;discovered by him with the goods in his ,possession. To this charge the defendant plead not guilty. The jury, however, thought otherwise, and the Court sentenced hint to an imprisonment of eleven months for the larceny, and to pay a fine of $2O on the charge of assault and battery. Com'th vs. John Lippincott, at. al. Lar ceny. The defendant, in company with (asper Hollinger and another boy named Miller, was charged with taking a coatfrom the store of Herman Strauss, North Queen street.

In the case of Martin Kendig, charged with stealing a horse, the jury, in accord ance with instructions from the CoUrt, ren dered a verdict of not guilty. There was a dispute between Mr. Kendig and Mr. Isaac Reynolds, as to the ownership of the horse, both claiming him. Corn. vs. Andrew and John Houck. As sault and battery. The occurrence took place on the Welsh Mountains, somewhere in Salisbury township, on the 19th of May, 1864. The assault and battery was made on David Houck. It was impossible from the evidence to form a clear idea of the matter. Verdict not guilty, and the costs were di vided equally between the three parties. Com. vs. John Houck. Assault and bat- ery. This was another ease returned from the classic haunts of the Welsh Mountains. The affair took place at a public sale. Mary Sanders, a colored woman, purchased a copper kettle, and as she was about leaving for home, Houck, the defendant, whether because she had in her possession a copper kettle, or from the fact that she wore a sol dier's cape, was not developed on the trial, called her ugly names, and tore the cape from her shoulders. A scuffle then ensued u which the woman came oft victorious.— The jury returned a verdict of guilty. In consideration of the defendant having been in the service of his country, he was let off by the payment of the costs. Com'th vs. Edward Smith. Larceny. Smith, Henry Ruby and George Fullerton were in company with each other. Ruby being greatly intoxicated, he was taken by his companions to a grave-yard, where he was left.
