14.NO#STER HORSE MAIKET, MONDAY,
DECO . Jahn 18Tu, 1865.—The market contin
ues .dull. The arriVals and sales during
the past week-have been as follows:
Trout's.-20 head in the stables at last re
port, 9 of which were owned by Messrs.
Sharp '& Co., and 11 by Mr. C. C. Miller.—
Sharp .& Co. bought 5 in the county, and
501d,4, leaving 10 remaining. Mr. Miller
bought 2, and sold 1, leaving 12 on hand.—
There are altogether 22 head in the stables
for sale.
Punk's.-18 head of horses on hand last
Monday The arrivals were Gen. M. R.
Witmer with 16 head of Government mules,
and. 2 horses, and Samuel Miller from Ken
tucky with 25 head of mules and 2 horses.
The sales were 5 horses and § males; leav
ing 17 horses and 33 males in tip stables.
Copeland & Cline'B.-23 head last week in
the stables. The arrivals were 13 head pur
chased in the county, and the sales 8 to
Messrs. Boone, Kunsenbouser and Bitzer
from New York, Boston and Philadelphia,
leaving 28 head on hand.
Leman, Murphy& Cb's.—No arrivals or
sales.
IMPROVED BRICK MACHINE.-Mr. John
McMurty, of Cincinnati, has finished and
secured a patent for an improved brick
making machine. The clay is taken from
the ground by means of elevating,, cups at
tached to India ruber belts, and is emptied
into two large wooden tanks at the top of
the machine, where it is ground and tem
pered by means or steam, which is let in
through small apertures in the cylinder. It
then passes into moulds on the large cylin
ders, where, after receiving a pressure esti
mated at eight tons, the bricks drop out in
to an India rubber belting, and are carried
away to dry and be burnt. The large cyl
inders make twenty-five revolutions a
minute, and at each one discharge eight
bricks, or two hundred per minute. The
capacity of the machine, it will be seen, is
twelve thousand per hour, or one hundred
and twenty thousand per day of ten hours'
work. The brick, on leaving the mould,
require very little drying, from the fact that
the immense pressure put upon them drives
almost the entire moisture out.
NEW STAMPED ENVELOPES.—The postal
laws forbids, under heavy penalties, the
carrying of letters outside the mails, unless
enclosed in government stamped envelopes
of a denomination sufficient to cover the
amount of postage chargeable thereon.
Heretofore parties desirous of sending val
uables and others letters by express have
found some difficulty in complying with the
law, as the envelopes supplied by the Post
Office were often insufficient in value to
cover the postage, and the addition of the
adhesive stamps, to supply the deficiency,
was not recognized as fulfilling the require
ments of the statute. In order to remedy
this difficulty' the department has now issued
envelopes of the denomination of nine,
twelve, eighteen, twenty four, thirty and
forty cents, which, with those already issued
will meet, it is thought, all the wants of the
CONFISCATED.—The Reading Record
states that a couple of dealers in cigars, from
this county, who were selling unstamped
cigars in Lebanon on Monday, had their
stocks confiscated. We have not learned
their names, but understand that they bore
their loss like philosophers, very " muchly"
like Artemus Ward when his "show and
wax figoors" were " confisticated" down
South.
A FINE OIL WELL—The last number of
the Reno Times says :
The Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Lancas
ter Oil Company, D. S. Plank, Supt., have
probably the largest well on the Allegheny
river. It is located half a mile below the
mouth of Pithole Creek. Oil was struck on
the 10th of November, at a depth of 500 feet.
The oil is of a lighter gravity than that of
most wells hereabouts, being 44 deg. Its
present yield is probably 100 barrels per
day. The workmen call it a 150 barrel well.
- .
This will be good news,. coming as it does
in this authentic shape, to those of our citi
zens who'hold stock in this company.
THE LADY'S FRIEND.—The publishers
eillthis beautiful magazine have issued a
tWagnificent number for January. The
leading steel engraving, " The Forest Glean
er," is a perfect gem of beauty. We do not
know where the publishers of the Lady's
Friend get such beautiful designs for their
engravings. Then we have a gorgeous col
ored plate, "The Hand Banner Screen in
Chenille on Velvet," which the ladies say
is magnificent. The large double colored
Steel Fashion Plate is as usual superb.
Another engraving, called " Stephen Whar
ton's Will," which illustrates a fine story,
is very suggestive. Then we have a beau
tiful plate of Children skating, intended to
illustrate, the winter styles of children's
clothing; with numerous other plates illus
trating Hair Nets, Winter Dresses, Borders
for Jackets, various new styles of Bonnets,
Winter Cassaques, Paletots, Tackets, Em
broidery, Chemises, Night Dress, Ancient
Head-Dresses, Patchwork, &c. etc. The lit
erary matter is excellent. Price $2.50 a
year; 2 copies $4.00; 8 copies (and onegrat
is) $l6. Now is the time to gel up clubs for
1866. Specimen numbers for this purpose
will tee sent for 15 cents. Wheeler & Wil
son's celebrated Sewing Machines are fur
nished as Prenfiurns in certain eases. The
Prospectus of this magazine for next year
embodies a splendid list of contributors.

WHAT Is AN INCH OF RAINI—In a recent
weekly return the Registrar General gives
the following interesting information in re
spect to the falling of rain :
" Rain fell in London to the amount of
0:43 inches, which is equivalent to 43 tons of
rain per acre. The rainfall during the week
varied from 30 tons per acre in Edinburgh
to 215 tons per acre in Glasgow. An English
acre consists of 5,272,640 square inchts ; and
an inch deep of rain on an acre yields 6,272,-
640 - cubic ins. of water which at 277,274 cubic
inches to the gallon makes 22,612.5 gallons ;
and, as a gallon of distilled water weighs 10
pounds, the rainful on an acre is 2 2 6,225
pounds avoidupois ; but 2,240 pounds are a
ton, and consequently an inch deep of rain
weighs 100,993 tons, or nearly 101 tons per
acre. For every 100th of an inch a ton of
water falls per acre.
• NELLIE EYSTER of Harrisburg, has writ
ten, and Ashmead Evans, of Philadel
phia, have published, the best little book
for girls and boys that we have seen for a
long time. Its title is "Sunny Hours, or
Child Life of Tom and Mary," and never
did writer throw more genuine sunshine
upon paper, or paint child-life in truer col
ors, than Nellie Eyster has done in this
modest little volume. He must be a sour
biped who can read it without wishing him
self a boy again, that he might shout with
Tom, romp with Mary, and even echo the
"bow-wow" of good-natured, barking
"Pete,." the sprightly little canine who
shared the children's sport and contributed
to their enjoyment. "Merry Christmas,"
the concluding story of the book, is just in
season now, and is so capitally told that
nothing but a wholesome dread of the copy
right law prevents us from transferring it
to our columns. We hope " Sunny Hours"
will be among the Christmas gifts of many
of our little friends.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT COLUMBIA.—On
Saturday night last, about 10 o'clock, as the
conductor (whose name we have been un
able to learn) of a freight train on the Penn
sylvania Railroad was coupling some cars
on his train, he met with a terrible accident.
By some means his overcoat caught in the
wheels and he was dragged under, a portion
of the train passing over his right arm and
leg; horribly mangling and crushing the
same. Dr. Lineaweaver was immediately
summoned, but the injuries - of the unfor
tunate man were of such a nature that he
died onSunday morning.
LARGE TURRIES.—We were shown this
morning six very large turkies, belonging
to Messrs. Thomas Downey and Joseph
Woodward, weighing respectively 36, 32,
29i, 28, 26 and 26 pounds. The weight of
all is 177 i pounds. They were raised in
Chester county, and were shipped to Mr.
Downey this morning.
We were also shown three other large
gobblers this morning by Messrs. Cremer
& Rees, at 'their restaurant, "The Coiner,"
which weigh about 108 pounds. The largest
weigh At.., pounds ., These were also pur
chased in Chester county; and were
,raised
a breed brought from Maine. ' '
Wriumr. sarn*Yjr***—The following
well-timed article is from that sterling Jour
pal,tbe GleyebuidlObio)l ) 4sktdesten , It is
full of words of truth and soberness, and
we commend it .to the careful consider
ation of all our readeas :
After an unusually mild Autumn, extend
ing to near the middle of December, shield
ing the poor and even the destitute from
many of the discomforts and sufferings to
which they have been eXposed by untoward
circumstances over which they had no con
trol, winter is upon them, at last, and their
condition demands due consideration. And
as the dsmal scenes of the immediate future
are opened to the • vision of the sons and
daughters of ill-requitedli toil, itbeeomee the
duty of the thoughtful, to look dispassion
ately at the causes of the calamities which
have befallen them. And while extending
to the destitute temporary relief, it is the
part of wisdom to devise some practicable
mode for removing the cause or causes of
the evils which render that relief not only a
duty but a necessity.
The evil most complained of is that of the
high prices demanded for the necessaries
and comforts of life. But high prices are
evils, only because they are disproportion
ate to the price paid for labor in the various
departments of productive industry. The
principal cause, therefore, of the sufferings
of the poor at this time, and at this inclem
ent season of the year, is the discrepancy
between the price of labor, and the cost of
the necessaries of life. And this reveals to
us the fatal mistake committed by the
ruling powers. While the wealthy manu
facturing corporations have successfully
sought for protection against foreign pro
ductions by prohibitory duties on importa
tions; while the bonds of the government
in the hands of capitalists are exempted
from taxation ; while extravagance, to a
ruinous extent, has been created and fos
tered by the fearful increase of an already
vitiated and irredeemable currency; and
while our national affairs are conducted
without regard to economy, nothing
has been done to aid the toiling masses in
their efforts to secure for themselves and
their families a share of the ordinary com
forts 01 life. We say nothing of the negroes
recently emancipated, for they are compa
ratively well provided for by the munificent
benefactions of the government, and by the
one-sided philanthropy] of their especial
friends, but we have a word to say in be
half of those white men and women in our
midst who are exposed to unwonted priva
tions and suffering's at this inclement season
of the year. As justice seems to be out of
the question, let a broad and comprehen
sive philanthropy; for the present take its
place. Let labor be generously rewarded—
let want he promptly relieved—and, in the
midst of abundance, let the wealthy see to
it that the destitute are provided for.
FAY'S EXPOSE OF THE TRICKS OF THE
DAVEN PORTS.—The same individual who a
few weeks since was giving lectures on
Spiritualism and proving the truth of its
manifestations to the entire satisfaction of
, certain credulous persons in our midst, has
made a regular expose of the humbuggery
of its most celebrated professors. The New
York Tribune, of yesterday, has the follow
ing account of his performances:
A few hundred persons assembled at the
Cooper Institute on Saturday evening to
witness the promised expose of the tricks of
the Davenports, by Mr. Fay, a gentleman
who acted as agent of these notorious broth
ers, and accompanied them over a large
portion of their tour through this country.
Mr. Fay is a young man who wears his
hair in the prescribed spiritual fashion and
sports a light mustache. He prefaced his
performances at the Cooper Institute with
a short lecture, explaining the object,
which was, he said, to expose one of the
greatest frauds and humbugs of the age.—
While connected with the Davenports he
had to a great extent believed:in the genuine
ness of ther feats, but by and by their im
positions became manifest to him, and he
now desired to show the world the devices
on which the brothers had bpilt their repu
tation.
Mr. Baffin of Newark, N. J., and Mr.
Arad Gilbert of No. 293 West Nineteenth
st., were chosen from the audience as a
committee to see that everything was pro
perly managed. Mrs. Fay, the wife of the
lecturer, was appointed to superintend the
proceedings. A huge box was placed on the
platform, inside of which were fixed a num
ber of bells, a drum, a tin trumpet and a
tambourine. After these articles had un
dergone a close scrutiny by the committee,
who were perfectly satisfied of the legiti
mate character of the cabinet, Mr. Fay
took off his coat, entered the box, and re
quested the committee to tie him, hand and
foot. This they did, and Mrs. Fay closed
the doors. In a short time the bells were
heard to ring, and, amid the plaudits of the
audience, Mr. Fay stepped forth divested of
his fetters. He again entered the box, the
doors were closed, and when opened, after
a few minutes, he was Toundro securely tied,
the spirits having performed the operation,
he said.
He then performed nearly all the feats of
the Davenports. While the hands of the
lecturer were tied to his knees with a stout
cord, the bells were rung, the drum was
beaten, and to all appearance the lecturer
had the full use of his hands, but when the
door was opened, lo ! the victim was se
curely bound. He complained of the heat
and said that the spirits had been taking
him to France. On leaving the box the
committee untied his hands and he went
round among the audience exhibiting the
knot by which he was fastened. He entered
the box again and was again tied
up by the spirits. Mr. Baffin entered
with him the next time, a handkerchief
being thrown over his eyes to obtain a neg
ative condition of the elements, or dark
nessi, When the door was opened Mr. Baf
fin was discovered in one end of the box
with his head crowned with the banjo and
drum, while extended at the other end lay
Mr. Fay, bound hand and foot in the most
helpless condition. The audience demand
ed from Mr. Baffin an account of his exper
iences. He said that he felt hands tipping dif
ferent parts of his person, his beard was
pulled and his cranium was struck several
timeswith the drum. The flourtrick was then
performed to the satisfaction of all present,
after which came the expose. The lecturer
declared the main secret of the tricks to be
the getting one hand loose, when everything
that the audience had witnessed during the
evening could be easily performed. The
tying of the hands is performed by fasten
ing one end of the rope around the left wrist,
a loop being formed for the right hand.
When the hands are then turned round and
round a few times, the rope has the appear
ance of being firmly knotted. After an ex
planation of the flour trick Mr. Fay wound
up his expose by promising in a future lec
ture to show how knots made by outsiders
are unfastened by the mediums.
RESOLUTIONS OF THANKS.-At the stated
meeting of the Sun Engine and Hose Com
pany, No. 1, held Dec. 15th, 1865, the follow
ing resolutions were passed :
Resolved, That the thanks of the Sun
Engine and Hose Company, No. 1, are here
by tendered to Captain .1. M. Johnson for
his kindness in furnishing a room for the
meeting of our Lady friends without charge ;
to the City Cornet Band for the eloquent
music discoursed during the Fair ; to the

the Fair; to the Press of the city for its kindly
notices,and to the citizens generally for their
liberal donations and exertions in our be
half.
Resolved, That our warmest thanks and
deepest gratitude are due to each and all of

praise and remembrance of the Company.
A vote of thanks was also tendered toMr.
John Flick for his liberal donation of $5O.

A few days since, a man named Co
bern, who was sent from Preston coun
ty, West Virginia, to the State Peniten
tiary about six- years ago, suddenly re
turned to his old neighborhood, near
Reedsville, a few days since, armed to
the teeth with three revolvers and a
huge bowie knife. He seemed deter
mined to rule the whole neighborhood,
and accordingly drove a Mr. Watson
from his houseand took ion of it,
ueclaring he would kill the first man
who would dare to molest him. The
whole neighborhood was complely ter
rified. Mr. Heermans, the Sheriff of
Preston county, getting news of the af
fair, at once determined to arrest Co
bern, and accordingly summoned a posse
of men for the purpose, and proceeded
to the premises where the desperate fel
low was secreted. On approaching the
house, Cobern commenced firing from
his revolvers into the posse, wounding
a Captain Kirk in the thigh. He was,
however, after a desperate struggle driv
en from the house, and shot dead by one
of the party.—Pittsburg Post.
Chickens Coming Home to Roost
Hon. John Bell and Hon. Horace
Maynard, of Tennessee, were both old
Whigs, and on the most intimate terms
of social and political fellowship. On
the breaking out of the war, Mr. Bell
cast his lot with the South, while Mr.
Maynard adhered to the North. After
the war, Mr. Bell returned to Nashville
a broken-down old man. About the
first person he met on the streets, whom
he had known, was his old friend, Mr.
Maynard, whom he addressed in a cor
dial manner, as of old. Mr. Maynard
refused to return his salutation, merely
remarking, "Mr. Bell, I suppose."
Mr. Maynard, as a faithful Southern
man, was elected a member of Congress
by the loyal people of East Tennessee.
He goes to Washington, presents his
credentials as a member-elect to the
Clerk of the House, who refused to put
the faithful loyalist on his list of return
ed members. The question of his ad
mission is brought before the unorgan
ized body of Congress—so called, as Bill
Arp might say—on a motion to that ef
fect, by an old Whig friend, Mr. Brooks
of New York.
Mr. Stevens, another old Whig, of
Pennsylvania, objected that the motion
was out of order.
Mr. Maynard appealed to the gentle
man, (Mr. Stevens) to listen to him (M.
a few minutes.
Mr. Stevens—" I cannot yield to any
man, who is not a member of this body."
Mr. Maynard squatted, feeling not
half so proud and manly as did old John
Bell, when Maynard cut his acquaint
ance on the streets of Nashville.—Cin
cinnati Enquirer.
The Chicago Times alluding to the
ship-load of New England females
about to sail for the Pacific coast, as
emigrants, gives the anti-slavery howl
ers the following dig in the ribs :
" The tears which Lave been shed in
the North over the sundering of negro
families, is sufficient to furnish per
petual water power, if it was collected,
for the manufactories of all Massachu
setts. Necessity, like a brutal owner,
has seized upon several hundred beau
tiful young ladies of the Bay State, has
torn them from their families and will
sell them to the highest bidders in
Washington Territory, thousands of
miles away. Who will weep over this
rude violation of the family circle? No
one. Philanthropy gazes complacently
on the transaction, and says nothing,
because the matter has no votes."
A Washington correspondent alludes
to a new feature exhibited at the capitol
this session :
This is the appearance in the galleries
of both houses of large numbers of ne
groes and negresses,and the airs they put
on is a caution. They push themselves
into the ladies' galleries and thrust
themselves into the front seats, and there
sit for hours. No decent people will sit
on the seats behind them or near them
and thus there is always a wide vacant
space between them and the white
people. The negroes clap their hands
and grin and chat like monkeys, when
ever any of their friends on the floor
makes any allusion to the American
citizens of African descent. Ladies come
to the doors of the gallery, look in as
tonished at the sight that meet their
gaze, and then turn away and leave the
Capitol sooner than be contaminated by
sitting in the same gallery with the
negroes, and behind them, too. Negro
equality is advancing with rapid strides.
THE Fish Convention, which is to be
held in Harrisburg on the 10th of Janu
ary, promises to be a big thing. Several
hundred delegates have already been
selected from the different counties
along the Susquehanna. There seems
to be a fixed determination to compel
the observance of the law which binds
all owners of dams to erect sluices
through which shad and other fish can
pass up stream. Last spring, owing to
the destruction of the dams and thevery
high water which prevailed during the
fishing season, shad made their way up
the Juniata as far as the Newport dam.
We hope the coming convention will
succeed in securing the rights of the
fish.
THE Steamer Continental sails from
New York to-morrow, with between
four and five hundred Yankee spinsters,
principally from Massachusetts. Gov
ernor Andrew, it seems, has not been
able to get together a full cargo, as there
is said to be room for some forty more,
who will be carried or $5O. They are
destined for Washington Territory, and
are under the charge of an individual
named Mercer, who will no doubt make
a good thing of it by selling them out to
the miners of that far off region. We
wonder if he will put them up on an
auction block. Just think of a crier
dwelling on their perfections and ring
ing the.changes on their parts.
THE negroes of the District of Colum-
bia are said to be on the tiptoe of excite
ment in expectation of the arrival of the
members of Greeley's "outside Con
gress." Delegates are expected from
different parts of the country, who will
make it their business to see that the
interests of Sambo are duly pressed up
on the attention of Congress. Meetings
are being held and arrangements made
for giving the sable delegates a suitable
reception. It is expected that Sumner
and Thad. Stevens will simultaneously
move that they be granted seats on the
Republican sides of the two Houses of
Congress.
THE Nation, referring to the report
that General Butler is preparing a re
view of General Grant's life, from his
leaving West Point to the present time,
and to the failure of General B. as a
military leader, expresses the average
of the American people thus: It is true
the Congressional Committee white
washed General Butler, but when Grant
says one thing on a subject of this kind
and a committee of Congress says an
other, we know which of the two the
country will believe. The fact is, that
Butler ought never have been made a
General in active service, any more than
Banks, and that many a valuable life
would have been saved if neither of
them had ever made his appearance on
the field of glory.

advocated the passage of the resolution, and
Messrs. O'Neill Pa., John Thomas, Ind.,
and Rogers, N. J., opposed it. The two last
arguing that the bill was a blow at their
States:
Mr. WaShburne said it was a general bill
and applicable to all.
SURROGATE TUCKER, of New York,
has received official information from
the Surrogate of St. Lawrence county,
that letters of administration have been
granted upon the estate of Hon. Preston
King. It would thus seem that the
death of the late Collector of New York,
concerning which some doubt has been
expressed in certain quarters, has been
judicially determined to have taken
place.
THE law in relation to the National
Banks is being very rigidly construed.
It having been claimed on the part of
the National banks that the investment
of theifsurplus profits in United States
stocks would exempt so much of their
surplus as was so invested from pay
ing the one fourth of one per cent. duty
that is now being collected semi-annu
ally on all surphises under the head of
deposits, an appeal was made to the De
partment at Washington, which elicit
ed the decision that the words "beyond
amount," in United States bonds, as
provided in section 41, act of June 3d,
1864, applies to stock only, and not to
deposits. The surplus fund is subject to
duty as undivided profit. The act
makes no provision for deduction of
United States bonds from any dutiable
item except capital.
THE mania for change which prevails
since the great moral reform party came
into power, threatens to leave its mark
on everything. The New York Tribune
of yesterday has the following among
its special Washington despatches :
The director of the mint has forward
ed to the Secretary of the Treasury, for
his approval, specimens of the double
eagle, eagle and half eagle (gold coins),
and the dollars, half dollars and quarter
dollars (silver coins), with the motto,
"In God we trust," on the reverse of
each coin, as provided by the fifth sec
tion of the act of Congress of March 3,
1865.
It is gravely added:
It is not designed to issue them for
"general circulation," however, at pres
ent.
We rather guess not. If we see any
kind of silver or gold coin in "general
circulation" within the next ten years,
we shall consider ourselves lucky. As
for the religious mottos, it, reminds one
unpleasantly of the ' Del gratis' of the.
divine-right schools of Europe.. Let-us
try,tck (zany 'our religion=R3ucli-att
in our hearts, and not in our pockets."

A SPECIAL DISPATCH to the Sunday
Pram, dated at Washington on Satur
day, said the Sunday Chronicle (Forney 's
Washington paper) would "contain a
powerful article from the Chicago
Tribune in favor of the military trial of
Jefferson Davis, written by one of the
best legal minds in America." The
name of this great legal luminary ought
to be appended to his article, so that the
world might know 'to whom they are
indebted for so much light. In spite of
sun, moon and stars, there will be dark
ness everywhere when the oil of this
tremendous legal whale burns out.
WE NOTICE an announcement going
the rounds of the Republican press, that
a bill is to be introduced in the Legisla
ture of Maryland, striking the word
"white" from the charter of the city
of Baltimore. By laws already enact
ed by a Legislature elected by bay
onets fully three-fourths of the white
voters of that city, 'representing the
greater proportion of its wealth and in
telligence, have been deprived of the
right to vote at any election. Any in
famy would not startle a people who
have been subjected to the provisions of
the Registration law of Maryland. Those
who enacted it, would not think them
selves disgraced by walking to the polls
side by side with a negro ; and they
would willingly confer the right of suf
frage upon the blacks rather than give
up the power they have usurped.
THE radical preachers, and other
leaders of the advance guard of the Re
publican party, are moving heaven and
earth to ensure the adoption of such
measures as will confer the right of
suffrage upon the negro. On last Sunday
night the Rev. Dr. Cheever preached a
sermon, in his church in New York, on
negrp rights . and negro suffrage, in
which he complained that the country
is cruelly neglecting the rightful claims
of the freedmen ; charged that Presi
dent Johnson's plan of reconstruction
tends to the re-establishment of slavery
and alluded to the recent occurrences in
Jamaica as a warning to our people of
the consequences of injustice to the
blacks. He said that the Jamaica out
break was not a preconcerted affair. but I
merely a riot, and that the means taken
for its suppression by the British author
ities were deliberate massacres.
