goral FAST YOUNG MEN.—The times have sad ly changed within the last twenty years.— This is evident, not only as regards the po litical and'commercial relations, but also in respect to man. Theprecocious youth, with the dextrous and inconceivable power of the prestidigitator, merges from the chrysa lis or youth and government of the nursery into the full-fledged and whiskered man, divesting himself of the innocence and gen tleness that throw their controlling influ ence around him, and abrogating the sur veillance and parental solicitude of an anx ious father and tender mother, he assumes the nobility of manhood, arrogaterlthe vices and follies of his superiors, and, robed with the importrpice that loosely hangs around the,inflated fop or loquacious rowdy, struts heroically on the stage of life as though his fellows were bound to do homage to his as sumed importance. We have no more Youths and satcheled school-boys. The time forthem has gone by, and the seven stages in the life of man, defined by that in imitable writer and poet, Shakspeare, have been reduced to six; the second can no more be found in the history of the present age—it is expunged from the record of life. We are all men now, endowed with wisdom and knowledge far superior to that which our forefathers possessed. Our habits and practices in life are more congenial to our tastes, and would cause the blush of shame to mantle the cheeks of our sires at their ig norance and tardiness in notadopting them in their younger days. We see these gay and festive young men wending their oscillating way homeward, in the small hours of the night, from the scenes of revelry and debauch—the eye bleared with the excesses of licentiousness, the brain fired by the expiring fumes of the poisoned cup, and the mind tortured with the consciousness of wrong. Their slow and uncertain gait, as they drag their erring feet along, speaks plainly of the downward road to ruin and shame; the empty pocket and plethoric head are signs of revelry and sin that cannot be mistaken ; and when at last they reach the parental roof, and, like the midnight assassin, steal their way be neath its genial shelter, and lay their ach ing heads upon the welcome pillow, made so by a mother's anxious care and love, then come crowding upon the heated brain the reminiscences of the festive board, the lascivious smile of the deceitful harlot, and the thorns and adders that cling and clus ter around her amorous bed. The social hoard, with its deadly drugs quaffed until the heart sickens and the brain seethes and boils like a lake of liquid fire, presents allurements which cannot be re sisted, while the blandishments of the smil ing cyprians, whose ugliness and deformity lie hid beneath a mask of paint and cotton, lures them on to that vortex which ends and engulphs them in inevitable ruin and premature death. Deaf to the soft reproof of parental ltve, blind to the dreadful ex amples which surround them and insensi ble to the horrors that await them, they rush madly to the grave ; clothed with the unclean drapery of sin and folly, polluted with the extravagance of youthful indiscre tion, they descend headlong to that brink of destruction from which there is no redemp tion. Can such things be and we sit idly by, gazing with listless and careless mien upon the rapid strides they are making to that fearful and horrid end? Let the warning word with trumpet tongue be heralded along, and the cry of ruin and death be sounded far and near, until the dreamer awakes from his stupor and lethar gy, and sees himself as others see him. We owe it to the rising generation ; we owe it as h duty; our forefathers call upon us from the shades of death to cry aloud and spare not; society demands it; Christianity, with aching heart and weeping eyes, pleads to us to act in its behalf; our own, and the safety of our children require it, and woe be to us if we use not every effort to arrest the grow ing evil, and endeavor, as far as within our power lies, to check the evil and direct in the path of rectitude and sobriety the devia ting footsteps of the rising generation.

Lightner, of East Lam peter township, exhibited to us this morn ing, an interesting relic in the shape of a Powder Horn, made about one hundred years ago for his great-great-grandfather, Joel Ferree, by an ingenious Frenchman. It completely throws in the shade any sim ilar horn of the present day. With a com mon pen knife this ingenious mechanic carved Mr. Ferree's name, a number of mottoes and also representations on it. One is a view of Philadelphia, with the different wharves on the Delaware at that time; an other is the coat of arms of Pennsylvania, and still another is a representation of Mr. Ferree, who was a famous hunter, just in the act of " bagging some game, which his faithful dog has eagerly scented. There are also several other scenes. It is a beautiful piece of mechanism, and of course is highly prized by the Colonel, who is likewise the fortunate possessor of a number of other valuable relics. The Colonel also exhibited to our aston ished gaze a Turnip which weighs 10 pounds, grown in his garden. If any person can beat this, we should like to hear of it. Col. L. is one of that - clas's of men who never sdo things — by halves. Whatever his hand lieds to do, he does with all his might. EX-PRESIDENT BUCHANAN IN YORK. The York Press of yesterday has the follow ing notice of a visit ',of ex-President Bu chanan to that borough: Ex-President Buchanan was in town for several days. lie returned to Wheatland on Monday: He was the guest of James F. Shunk, Esq., while here. Heis looking re markably well. A number of his friends called to see him during his short sojourn in our town. It gave them much pleasure to find this venerable public officer, not 'only in health of body, but, with the vigor .of his mind unimpaired, and the exube rance and glow of his spirits undiminished .and undamped. It was a matter of regret to his wide circle of friends that his stay in - York was unavoidably so limited as it was TEE WORKING MEN.—The Trenton (N. J.) Thee American " hits the nail on the head," in the following article, in reference to the interests of the working men. We advise all such, and we are proud to we hu 'a large number of them hmong our readers, read and ponder the article well The working men seem to have aroused to the importance of looking after their own interests. The eight hour movement is growing formidable, and will no doubt be lressed with considerable effort on the next egislature of this State. It is a very certain thing that working men and mechanics do not have sufficient time to improve either mind or body. A steady workman who has a large family has but very few hours for recreation. He scarcely gets time to read the news of the day. Work and sleep seems to be the destiny of all, "Eat, drink and be merry," hardly will apply to the working man. He may with these exorbitant prices, find enough to eat, but he will find that he has nothing to spend for drink, and if he had it would be folly to do so ; but as to being excessively merry, while speculators and shoddyites hold in their hands the bread, meat and clothing of the country, it is hard ly "in the wood." At lesit we see very little merriment among this class of our people. Two hours a day knocked off the hours of labor will add very _materially to their comforts and enjoyments, and give those who have the disposition to do so, an opportunity to see and read what is going onin the world. • We should like the me chanics and working men of . Trenton, just at this time, to keep thernselves _posted in the proceedings of 'Congress.; Whe,Y, will "very soon learn who me - tlieinen that make - the mischief, and keep the country inltlcen gtant foyer 9f excitement, , &moor. MAirEss.—The stated monthly meeting of the City School Board was held on Thursday evening last. 16 members were present. A communication from Mr. Merrill, Principal of High Schools, was read, in which he suggested additional room for classes, when Dr. Atlee offered the follow ing: Resolved, That the Committee on School Property be requested to ascertain whether a suitable room can be procured for the use of the Female Secondary School, North west Division, in order that more room be afforded the High Schools, and to report to a special meeting of the Board on the 3d Thursday evening of this month. Adopted. • On motion, the use of Miss McClellan's or Miss Nourse's schobl-room was granted to Ellen G. McClellan for a Select Night School. The Committee on School Property, to whom were referred a preamble and reso lutions in reference to the opening a certain street between the property of C. H. Le fevre and the School Board, reported ad versely. The report was referred back to said committee for further information. The following visiting committees were annonnced by the President : VISITING COMMITTEES N. W. Division—R. A. Evans, S. P. Eby, A. H. Smith, EL Baumgardner, Rev. E. H. Thomas. N. E. Division—W. P. Brinton, H. A. Rockatield, D. G. Swartz, A. E. Roberts, W. Whiteside. S. W. Division—J. R. Russel, J. K. Reed, W. R. Wilson, Dr. J. McCalla, J. J. Cochran. S. E. Division—G. F. Breneman, H. E. Slaymaker, C. F. Rengier, D. King, D. G. Baker INTERESTING DECISION.—An interesting decision was made by Judge Allison in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia on Saturday. It was in reference to the right of the Lancaster Turnpike Company to col. le ct toll of an undertaker traveling to and fro in the discharge Of his duty as such over their road. The Judge decided that the Company had no right to collect toll. We find the following report of the decision in the Philadelphia AS'unday Mercury: In the Court of Common Pleas yesterday Judge Allison delivered a very interesting decision in the case of the Lancaster Turn pike vs. Simon Gartland. The latter, who is a well known undertaker, resisted the demands of this turnpike monopoly in the collection of Thlls going to and returning from funerals, and claimed the freedom of the Highway for this purpose under an act of the I,egislature passed April 1, 1860, wherein the above facts are distinctly set forth. Judge Allison, on behalf of the Court, said the defendant passed over the road of plain tiff and through the toll-gate in a carriage, in attendance on a funeral, and refused to pay toll ; for so doing this suit was brought to recover the penalty under the act of 1798. This offence, if an offence it be, is clearly not one of the acts or causes for which a pen alty may be recovered. That act contem plated the practising of some fraudulent device for the purpose of evading or lessen ing the payment of the legal charge, in the shape of tolls, which the company are au thorized to collect from persons who travel on their road. In this case there was no pretense of fraud; the demand by the defendant that he should be exempted from payment of tolls was made under a claim of right ; and his right W 11.9 nothing less than a license from the State itself expressed in a public act of the Legislature, which in the clearest terms denied the authority of the plaintiff to col lect the tolls demanded from the defen dant. In this there was the practice of no fraudulent device. . . We were requested to express an opinion as to the power of the Legislature to take away from the plaintiff, or to abridge, in the manner attempted by the act of 1860, a valuable corporate franchise without the consent of the corporation ; to do this would be to travel away from the case before us, and prejudge a question which is not pre sented by the case stated. Judgment must be entered for the defen dant. MUNIFICENT GIFT TO A FORMER LAN CASTER MINISTER.—The following, which we clip from the Trenton (N. J.,) Tree American of Saturday, will be read with much interest by the friends of Rev. E. W. Appleton, some years since rector of St. John's (Free) Episcopal Church, this city, and especially by his former parishoners. It will be cause of regret to his friends that his health is seriously impaired, and that he is compelled to leave for a more genial cli mate on account of the same. The sympa thies of all his old parishoners and friends will go with him : _ . A Munificent Gift.—The Rector of St. Michael's Church of this city (Rev. E. W. Appleton) was agreeably ; surprised on. Thanksgiving day, by the presentation of a purse, containing one thousand dollars, by his congregation. After the services for the day had been concluded and the Rector had retired to the vestry room, a member of the congregation asked that all would remain seated for a few moments, as the present for the Rector (which had been quietly collected from the congregation during the few days previous) would now be presented. He then stepped into the vestry room and in formed Mr. Appleton that the congregation were awaiting his presence. As he (Mr. A.) re-appeared in the chancel, F. R. Wilkin son, Esq., on behalf of the congregation, stepped forward and presented him with the purse and the following address : Reverend and Dear Sir : " The parishioners of St. Michael's Epis copal Church tender to you a purse, con taming $l,OOO, which you will please accep as a token of their esteem. " It had been intended to. have been pre sented to you on Christmas eve ; but the announcement of your early departure for a more salubrious clime determined us to tender it as a parting gift. " As a congregation we feel that we have been greatly blessed during the three years of your ministration among us. The pres ent flourishing condition of our church, and the rich harvest of souls which has blessed your ministry, offering the best at testation of your faithful and efficient ser vice. It is with sincere regret that we part with you as our Rector. Your kindness to our families in the hour of affliction and death, and your consistent course as a fear less expounder of God's Word, have en deared you to our hearts. You have the sympathies of our people in your present affliction, and our prayers for the speedy restoration of your health, and your eternal welfare, will ever accompany you." This address bore the name of nearly ev ery member of the congregation, embracing all who have contributed to the purse. On receiving the address and gift, Mr. Appleton was so surprised and affected that for awhile he could scarcely find words to answer; and many an eye dimmed with tears throughout the congregation, told plainer than words, how deep was the love and sympathy they bore their pastor, and how great the regret in having to lose him. Mr. Appleton's reply was touchingly ap propriate and beautiful, a synopsis of which even we cannot venture to give. An exami nation of his lungs by skillful physicians has revealed the fact that they are diseased, and upon their earnest recommendation he starts for Palestine on the 13th inst., with the hope that travel and change of climate may effect a cure. The sympathies of this whole community will go with him. ANNFVERSART OF THE LANCASTER COUNTY BIBLE SOCIETY.—This society held its 50th anniversary in the St.PauP s German Reformed Church on Thursday last, owing to several other meetings in progress, to gether with a church fair and the inclemency of the evening the attendance was not large. Several clergy of the city were present and took part in the exercises, and addresses were delivered by Revs. Bruning, E. Ger hart, D. D., and McNair, D. D. The annual report, which was read, gave a statement of the operations of the Society during the past year, and also presented a condensed history of the Society from its origin. We extract the following from the report: The society has not accomplished what it should have done during the year, and its claims are sometimes neglected amidst the many applications for other objects made on the public liberality.

In Select Council, Mr. Zahn" presented a communication from John J. - Cochran, Esq., Post Master of this City, stating that the Post Office Department of the United States had instructed him to ask permis sion of the authorities of this City, to place cast iron letter boxes to the City lamp posts; he therefore respectfully asked permission to do so. The communication was read, and on motion of Mr. Deaner, the privilege was unanimously granted. Common Council concurred. Mr. Zahm also presented a communica tion from the Mayor, that in consequence of the gi - eat expense of coal for running the Engine during the repairs and improve ments at the City Water Works the past summer and autumn, the miscellaneous water appropriation (which was only $2,700 at first) is exhausted, and Wit an addi tional one of $l,OOO would be necessary to meet the demands on that fund during the balance of the fiscal year.

Mr. Lechler, of the Street Committee, pre sented a report of that body, amongst other matters, stating that but $57.67 of the street appropriation remained unexpended. That this amount or the greater portion would be required to defray the cost of re-turnpiking East King street over the sewer pit, and do other work consequent upon the building of the sewer. That the turnpike of the main streets at several points is nearly worn out. and, if suffered to remain in the present condition during the coming winter, from the effects of the frost and other causes the spring will find the streets in a great degree impassable. That these streets should therefore receive a coat of stone this winter ,there most needed. To do so, and anticipate the usual outlay for other work in the winter season, another appro priation to streets of about $5OO will be re quired; and councils are recommended to vote that sum at this meeting, which report was read, and on motion it was resolved that the sum of $5OO is hereby appropriated to street purposes, and that the Mayor is di rected to negotiate a temporary loan for that amount and object, payable in the fiscal year of 1866.

In the House. Alinotion was made to print 250,000 extra copies of Gen. Grant's report. The Committee on District of Co lumbia were ordered to inquire what was necessary to ensure the health of the city. Mr. Noel, of Missouri, offered a resolu tion that the House of Representatives will not exclude the members of Congress elect from any of the States recently in rebellion because of the fact that negroes as a class were excluded from voting at the election of said members. A debate arising, the resolution lies over. The Committee on Military Affairs was instructed to inquire into the expediency of rebuilding the Armory at Harper's Ferry. On motion of Thaddeus Stevens, the Pres ident was requested to communicate to the House any correspondence or other infor mation in possession of the government, relative to the present condition of affairs in the sister Republic of Mexico, and es pecially letters of the Minister from said republic or the French Minister at Wash ington thereto.

Objection was made to the consideration of the above resolution. The following resolution pending from last Monday, and offered by Mr. Niblack, of Indiana, came up as the unfinished busi ness: . - Resolved, That pending the question as to the admission of persons el aiming to have been elected Representatives to the present Congress, from States lately in rebellion against the United States Government, such persons shall be entitled to the privilege of the floor of this House. The House refused to suspend the rules for the reception of the resolution—yeas for ty, nays one hundred and eleven. The House then adjourned. WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. HOUSE.—Mr. Raymond, of New York, rose to a question of privilege to present certificates of election of the members from Tennessee. Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, interposed a point of order, that the State of Tennessee is not known to this House, which the Speaker over-ruled, after g brief debate, in which Messrs. Finck, Ohio, Grider, Ky., and Smith, Ky., expressed their desire that the Tennessee members should be sworn. WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 On motion of Mr. Raymond, the creden tials were referred to the Select Committee on the subject of the so-called Confederate States, by a vote 126 yeas to 41 nays. The House, by a vote 90 to 63, laid on the table a resolution to admit the Tennessee members elect to the privilege of the floor pending the discussion of their case. At a subsequent stage of the proceedings, a resolution that until otherwise ordered, Mr. Maynard and others from Tennessee be invited to occupy seats in the Hall of of Representatives, was passed by a vote of 133 yeas to 35 nays. After passing various resolutions of in quiry the House adjourned. Our Indian Polley—Facts Showing Its [Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune.] WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. i4.—A gentleman of considerable prominence and whose opinions and statements can be relied upon, writes, or reports to one of our departments in reference to the recent operations in the Northwest against the Indians, as follows: " Gen. Sully, with 1,003 officers and men and 1,862 horses and mules, during a campaign of nearly seven months, having marched more than 1,600 miles, did not succeed in killing a single In dian, except, perhaps, one Indian killed after the expedition returned to Fort Rice. An express rider claims that he killed one—so that matter is in dispute; the Indian, at any rate, was admitted to be friendly and foolish. Gen. Sully is an excellent officer. It was not his fault; he could. not find the Indians; he could not overtake them ; they'were too cunning, too fleet for him.' His loss, of course, was not heavy. He did, how ever, kill one hundred horses, to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Indians. " I have been informed by a general officer of the United States army, who has had a large experience in Indian af fairs, who says it costs nearly $2,000,000 a year to support a regiment in the In dian country—S2,ooo,ooo to kill one In dian ! " I met an officer at Sioux City who had just returned from the Plains, having been with Col. Cole the whole summer. He informedme that Cole and Connor's commands together had not killed twen ty Indians, and had taken three squaws prisoners ; at the same time had lost more than that number of men them-. selves, besides more than' 1,200 horses and mules that were taken by Indians, or killed to prevent them from falling into the hands of the enemy. lam in formed that between 6,000 and 7,000 men have been employed on the Plains the past season to fight the Indians, say six regiments, $2,000,000 each. 512,000,- 000 to kill perhaps 25 Indians—half a million each. Rather expensive. " The people of Minnesotasent South and got a large number of bloodhounds to hunt the Indians. Result, the In dians shot the dogs and then cooked and ate them—a great luxury ! `The Minnesota Legislature (shame on them) passed an act paying a bounty for the Indian scalps. If lam not mis taken, an officer, who was connected with an expedition in Minnesota ' against the Indians, informed me that he knew of six scalps being taken from one Indian, with a tuft of hair and a piece of skin about the size of a dollar ; that they brought in as the result of that campaign, one hundred and twenty scalps, which at one Indian killed to every six scalps, would show the killing of twenty Indians all told !" The writer then proceeds to narrate incidents connected with the trip up the river to Fort Sully, how they went fully armed and equipped, apprehensive yet prepared for an Indian attack ; that they met the Indians in council and then returned comparatively unarmed ; they met Indians on the route, all of them armed, on their way to hunt buf falo, and says : "On the way from Sully to Sioux City, they passed more than 2,500 Indi ans, and felt no more danger of being molested than they would have felt in Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D. C. No disrespectful word or questions did we receive in the whole route of 300 miles." An expedition that it is estimated cost the country $20,090,000, what it has cost the people of the Western territories, in the destruction of life and property, and the running off of stock, cannot be esti mated. Neither can it be determined why the General should march to the Powder river until he had rendered the Platte route perfectly safe (to travel and settlement) from Indian depredations. ,irtrial Bottoms 44 - To Consumptives.

Seigfried, Pastor of Twelfth Baptist Church, Philadelphia. Gentlemen :—.I. have recently been laboring under the distressing effects of indigestion ac companied by a prostration of the nervous Es tem. Numerous remedies were recommended by friends, and some of them tested, but with out relief. Your hoodand's German Bitters were redommended by persons who had tried them, and whose favorable mention of these Bitters induced me to try them. I must con fess that I nad an aversion to Patent Medicines from the "thousand and one" quack "Bit ters," whose only aim seems to be to palm off sweetened and drugged liquor upon the com munity in a sly way, and the tendency of which, I fear, is to make many a confirmed drunkard. Upon learning that yours was really a medicinal preparation I took it with happy effect. Its action, not only upon the stomach, bat upon the nervous system, was prompt and gratifying. I feel that I have de rived great and permanent benefit- from the use of a few bottles. Very respectfully yours, W. D SEIGFRIED, No. 254 Sha.ckamazon Street. A From the Rev. E. D. Fendall, Assistant Editor Chrlstlnn Chronicle, P~lladelphla. I have derived decided benefit from the use of Hoofland's German Bitters, and feel it my privilege to recommend them as a most valua ble tonic, to all who are suffering from gen eral debility or from diseases arising from de rangement of the liver. • Yours truly, E. D. FENDALL From Rev. D. Merrige, Pastor of the Passyunk Baptist Church, Philadelphia. From the many respectable recommenda tions given to Dr. Hoodand's German Bitters, I was induced to give them a trial. After using several bottles I found them to be a good remedy for debility, and a most excellent tonic for the stomach. From Rev. Wm. Smith, formerly Pastor of the Vincenttown and .Millville (N. T.) Baptist Churches Having used In my family a number of bot tles of your Hoottand's German Bitters, I have to say that I regard them as an excellent med icine, specially adapted to remove the diseases they are recommended fors They strengthen and invigorate ,the system7when debilitated. and are useful in disorders of the liver, loss of 'appetite, dre. I have also recommended them to several of my friends, who have tried them, and found them greatly beneficial in the resto ration of health. Yours truly WILLIAM SMITH 966 Hutchinson street, Philadelphia From the Bev. Levi G. Beck, Pastor of the Baptist Church Pemberton, N. J. formerly of 'the North Baptist Church, Philadelphia, at pre sent Pastor of the Baptist Church, Chester, Pa. I have known Hoofiand's German Bitters favorably for a number of years' I have used them in my own family, and have been so pleased with their effects, that I was induced to recommend them to many others, and know that they have operated in a strikingly benefi cial manner. I take great pleasure In thus publicly proclaiming this fact, and calling the attention of those afilicted with the diseases for which they are recommended, to these Bitters, knowing from experience that my recommen dation will be sustained. Ido this more cheer full as Hoodand's Bitters is intended to benefit the afflicted, and is " not a ruin drink." Yours, truly LEVI G. BECK. • • • • • • From Rev. J. Newton Brown, D. D., Editor of the Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge and Christian Chronicle, Philadelphi Although not disposed to favor or recom mend Patent Medicines in general, through distrust of their ingredients and effects, I yet know of no sufficient reasons why a man may not testify to the benefits he believes himself to have received from any simple preparation, in the hope that he may thus contribute to the benefit of others. - - I do this the more readily in r.ard to Hoof land's German Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, of this city, because I was prejudiced against them for many years, under the im pression that they were chiefly an alcoholic mixture. I am indebted to my friend Robert Shoemaker, Esq., for the removal of this preju dice by proper tests and for encouragement to try them when suffering fromgreat and long continued debility. The use of three bottles of these Bitters at the beginning of the present year, was followed by evident relief andrestor ation to a degree of bodily and mental vigor which I had not felt for six months before, anti had almost despaired of regaining. I therefore thank God and my friend direct h in i r to the use of them. J. NEWTON BROWN P elphfa. From the Rev. Thos. Winter, D. D., Pastor of Roxborough Baptist Church.
