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.

AN INTERESTING Rmac.--Our esteemed
friend Col. Joel L. 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

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

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

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

PII9CEEDINGS OF CITY COUNCILS.—COMI
ciIs met statedly in their Chambers, City
Hall, on Tuesday evening.
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. That the con
tingent fund is also exhausted, and the fur
ther sum of $5OO would be needed for that
item. That the appropriation for repairs of
streets is nearly exhausted, and he referred
Councils to the Street Committee for infor
mation as to the wants of their department.
And that an additional appropriation for
the payment of the Night Police is now re
quired. Which was read, and on motion of
Mr. Metzger it was resolved that the Mayor
is hereby authorized to negotiate tempo
rary loans, payable in the fiscal year 1866,
for the following amounts and objects

The report was read—read in C. C.
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. Common Council con
curred. '

States for any State or States to secede, and
that all resolves or ordinances to that end,

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.

READ WHO SA YS SO
From Rev. W. D. 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.

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

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

From the Rev. Thos. Winter, D. D., Pastor of
Roxborough Baptist Church.
Dear Sir : I feel it dne to your excellent prep
aration, Hoolland's German Bitters, to add
my testimony to the deserved reputation It has

troubled with great disorder in my head . and
nervous system. I was advised by a friend' to
try a bottle of your German Bitters.. I did so,
and have experienced great and unexpected
relief: my health has been very materially
benetitted. I conliden ly recommend the arti
cle where I meet with cases similar to my (TWII,
and have been assured by many of their good
effects. Respectfully yours,
