Several large and delicious cakes were pre

Col. F. S. Pyler, the old commander and
universal favorite with the men of the 77th,

The Gallant Boys of;the 77th: In war and

Their heroic deeds in'the field of battle and
in the march will ever live in the memory
of their admiring fellow-citizens.
There was a jolly, good time at the Hu

the occasion with most excellent music, and
everything passed off pleasantly. All pres

New Enterprise.— Our old friend S. B.
Jlaines, who formerly resided in this city,
but who has been living in Lewistown, Pa.
for about eleven years, paid us a visit this
morning. He exhibited to us a very hand
some model of a Reaper and Mower, known
as the “ Field Monitor,” for .which he re
ceived Letters Patent, March S, 1864, and
has manufactured quite a number of them
since then. I u this machine the gearing is
enclosed v, it Jiin a drum, which is rotated
by.direct contact with the ground, and
through the medium of which motion is
communicated to the working parts. The
cutting apparatus can be so doubled up
that the machine msiy be conveyed any
where without any alteration in the
machinery whatever. The machine com
bines lightness with strength, and Mr. H.
claims it to bo the lightest, strongest and
best machine in use. We understand that
there is a movement on foot among several
of our enterprising citizens to erect an estab
lishment for the purpose of manufacturing
the “ Field Monitor,” and also Mr. Haines’
celebrated Horse Power. Models of both the
Reaper and Mower and Horse Power may
be seon at the office of Jesse Landis, Esq.,
N*o. -18, East King street.
In Mkmokiam. —To the N\G. V. G. offi

and sentiments of this Lodge on this solemn
occasion, submit the following report:
Whereas, It has pleased an all-wise
Providence lo remove by death from our
companionship our beloved brother , P. G.
H. Harmon, on the 2f»th of December, 1860,
and transferred him to the spirit world ,
which we trust may be to him one of bright
ness, beauty and glory, therefore be it
Resolved , That our Lodge, by his death,
has lost one of its most worthy members,
one, who by the strict integrity of his char
acter and the uprightness of hisdeportment
in every relation of life, had endeared him
self to all, and who has left us a rich legacy
in the example he has set before us.
Resolved, That we deeply sympathize
with the friends and relatives of the deceas
ed in this their bereavement; that we too*,
in common with them, have lost from our
midst a useful citizen, an esteemed friend
and a worthy brother.
Resolved, That our Lodge room be draped

Order wear the usual badge of mourning
for thirty days.
Resolved , That acopy of these resolutions
be sent to the friends of the deceased
Brother, and that they be published in the
Lancaster Examiner and Intelligencer.
All of which are respectfully submitted.

- Abolition County*- Convention.— The
Abolition County Convention to nominate
a candidate for the Legislature in place of
Day Wood, Esq., deceased, re-assembled
at 11 o’clock on Monday, in the 4th story
of Fulton Hall.
R. J. Houston, Esq., of Sadsbury town
ship, Chairman of the last Convention, call
ed the body to order, when the list of dele
gates was called over.
Esaias Billingfelt, Esq., rose and read a
eulogy on the late Day Wood, and moved,
that a committee of six be appointed to
draft resolutions expressive of the sense of
the Convention in the death of Mr. Wood.
Mr. Nathaniel Mayer rose and said that
he fully agreed with the gentleman in his
eulogy on the death of Mr. Wood, and that
the friends of Day Wood now in the Con
vention ask the nomination' for the lower
part of the county, and he hoped that James
Wood, a half-brotherof the deceased, would
receive the nomination.
The President' also paid an eloquent
tribute to the memory of the deceased.
The motion of Mr. Billingfelt was then-put
and curried unanimously ; and the follow
ing committee appointed : Esaias Billing
felt, Walter G. Evans, George Levan, W.
F. Neal, B. M. Stauffer. George Ashton.
It was then moved and carried that the
Convention proceed to make nominations
for a candidate for the Legislature. The
following nominations were made:
Andrew Armstrong, East Donegal.
David 11. Cochran, Coierain.
Philip Gossler, Columbia.
A. C. Reinoehl, Manheim twp.
D. G. Steucy, Bart.
JI. Shirk. East Earl.
James Wood, Little Britain.
George 11. Kttla, .Marietta.
The name of George 11. Ettla was with-
drawn.
At this point a great deal of confusion en
sued on a motion that the Convention take
a recess of live minutes to allow the com-
mittee on the death of Mr. Wood to draft
the resolutions. The matter was finally
settled by instructing the committeeto meet
after the Convention shall have adjourned
and publish their resolutions in the news
papers.
The Convention then proceeded to ballot,
with the following result:
Armstrong.
Cochran
<dossier
Reinoehl ...
The name of .James Wood was withdrawn,
and the Convention proceeded to a second
ballot :
Armstrong.

The names of 1). 11. Cochran and A. C.

tion prceeded to a 3d ballot.
Armstrong 34
Gossler 42
There being no choice, the Convention
proceeded to a fourth ballot :
Armstrong .‘5l
There still being no choice, the Convent ion
proceeded to a fifth ballot :
Armstrong 35
The Convention in the afternoon re
sembled a scene in Bedlam more than any
thing else wo can liken it unto. Up to the
17th ballot tilings remained in statu quo. —
It was near fourn’clnck, and the President,
Secretaries, reporters and many members
of the Convention wore hungry, tired and
their path-nee had become exhausted. The
writer of tins an i -3 , win v.as of course un
known to the President, was requested bv
that gentleman to make a motion to adjourn.
We respectfully declined doing so, because
we were no delegate and noteven a member
of the party, upon receiving which informa
tion the President enjoyed a hearty laugh.
• Before proceeding to the 17th ballot, Mr.
M. M. Slrieklor arose, and made a few elo
quent remarks in favor of the nomination
of a soldier for the position, lie said the
Republican party of Lancaster county had
all along professed great friendship for the
soldier, but had never yet exhibited that
friendship in auv‘ substantial manner. He
spoke amid the greatest confusion, every
person being on their feet, and many shout
ing “ go on with the bailor,” “no time for
talking,” “let him speak,” etc. Mr. S.,
however, bravely stood Ids ground Mr.
Andrew Armstrong then arose, and said
that as it was now the determination of the
Convention to nominate a soldier, he with
drew Ids name in favor of Adjutant A. C.
Reinoehl, winch elicited the wildest ap
plause. Immediately Mr. John I. Hartman
sprang on the Secretary's table, and said
that he was authorized to withdraw the
name of Mr. Stoaoy in lavor of Adjutant
Reinoehl, and made a motion that he be
nominated by acclamation. This created
the greatest confusion, and' it was some
minutes before order could be restored.—
Lieut. Reinoehl was being congratulated by
his friends on having received the nomina
tion, and looked the happiest man in tie 1
Convention; “but there's many a slip 'twixt
the cup and the lip," for many of Shirk's
zealous friends insisted on a ballot, which
was filially taken with the following result:
John 11. Shirk, 100
A. C. Reinoehl, 81
It was now Shirk's friends’ turn to be
come jubilant, and they fairly made the,
welkin ring with their shouts of exultation.
Remoehfs friends, prominent among whom
we noticed ihe'jollv, good-natured phiz of
Dr. Martin, Sergeunt-ut-Arms of the State
Senate, hoisted the Adjutant on one of the
tables, and lie returned his thanks to his
friends for the support they ljad given him,
but was sorry that he had not been success
ful. He, however, endorsed the nomina
tion of Mr. Shirk, atul was glad that the
soldiers' claims had at last been recognized.
Mr. Shirji, the nominee, was called for,
and briefly returned his thanks lor the
honor conferred.
$191,460 54
$21,756 S 3
Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Steaey also re
turned their thanks for the support given
them, and endorsed the nomination of Mr.
Shirk.
C->). Cusdcr was called for, but did not
respond.
Mr. .1. L Hartman now arose and offered
two p-sniniions. m the effect that this Con
vention pi-oc.'ed to the election of six dele
gates to represent the county in the ensuing
State Convention, and also that the dele
gates so elected be instructed to sup
port Gen. .John W. Geary for Governor.—
This was the signal for another scene of the
wildest confusion in the “ happy family.”
Mr. Esakis BillingfelJ arose and said that
the Convention had disposed of the business
for which it had been convened, and had no
right to elect delegates to the State Conven
tion, he would therefore move that the Con
vention do now adjourn sine die. About a
dozen persons commenced talking at once,
and amid this scene of “confusion worse
confounded,” the motion to adjourn was
put by the President and declared lost.
Mr. Hartman’s resolutions were then put
and declared carried. At this point about
half of the members withdrew, and what
few remained proceeded to the election of
delegates to the State Convention, with the
following result:
Samuel Patterson, Mount Joy.
George W. Mehaffey, Marietta.
Col. (). J. Dickey, City.
Nathaniel Mayer, Drumoro.
Martin S. Fry, Ephrata.
George Whitson, Bart.
Tho Convention finally adjourned at 5J
o’clock, after having been in session about
six hours, aud a more noisy or turbulent
body we have not seen in session for a long
while.
Advertisements.— A gentleman who
has travelled a great deal, remarked to us
the other day that he considered the adver
tising columns of a newspaper as infallible
mirrors of the business of a city. The fact
has been established, that not only does ad
vertising and merit open the way to fortune
but those who advertise are more liberal
dealers, and inasmuch as they keep them
selves and their wares constantly before the
public, it is certain evidence that they have
what they advertise, and are anxious to se
cure customers whom they will exert them
selves to retain at a liberal dealing. We
can point to our advertising columns with
pleasure, and would say to ourfriends, by
all means, bestow your patronage upon'
those whose advertisements there appear
•as they will be found, to be honest, liberal
minded and accommodating men of busi

Death of an Old Merchant. —Mr.
Thomas Mellon, an olden-time merchant,
died at his residence in Philadelphia on
Monday, of apoplexy, 76th year of his
age. Mr. M. was a merchant at New Or
leans more than fifty years ago, and was*
one of the gallant defenders of that city on
the ever-memorable Bth of January, 1815.
He retiredfromactivecommereiallifeabout
thirty-years ago, and ever pinee has been a
resident of Philadelphia. He was early
connected with the Pennsylvania Railroad
enterprise,and wasone of the Directorsof that
company until within the past twoor three
years. He was never a politician, but was.
firm and decided in his opinions, and was a
member of the old Whig party until its
disbandment in 1854, since which time he
had invariably acted and voted with the*
Democratic barty. He was one of the most
successful /merchants that New* Orleans
ever ] ad. Although in failing health for
some time past, his death was sudden and
unexpected, and he leaves a large circle of
revives and friends to mourn his loss. Mr.
M. was a broilier-in-law of H. B. Swarr,
Esq., of this city, both having married
daughters of the late Simeon Toby, Esq., of
Philadelphia.
Salk of Valuable Ore Land. —Messrs.
E. B. A C. B. Grubb hold in common two
tracts of lire land in West-Hempfield town
ship, this county, which has recently been
appraised by a Sheriff’s jury, and the one
trad valued at $63,000, and the other at $53,-
000. The parlies named appeared on Satur
day last at the Prothonotary’s office, for the
purpose of taking these tracts at this valu
ation; but as the law permitted bidding on
the same, the first tract was purchased by
Edward B. Grubb at $BO,OOO over the valua
tion, making $143,000; and the other at
$50,000 over the valuation, making $103,000.
Upon a former partition within the last
thirty years, these same tracts were apprais
ed and valued together at $25,900. The price
at which they were sold on Saturday last
shows the great and increased value of ore
land in this county.

Lancaster Horse Market—Monday,
January 22, 1800. —The arrivals have been
somewhat brisk, but the sales are some
what dull and slow, with prices ranging
from $175 to $250 for young horses, four
years old rising five. The arrivals and sales
at the different stables for the past week are
as follows:
Moryart's {late '/'rout's.) —There were 68
head on hand last week, belonging as fol
lows; ID head to Steckman A Logan ; 9 to

Grossman; 6to Samuel Jieisher; 2to P.G.
Morgan, and Ito John Wynkoop. The ar

man, with 2 head irom Strasburg, this
county; 5 head to C. U. Milier, three of
which were brought lrom the West, apd
two in the county, (one of them a superior
breeding mare,) and 1 bought of a farmer
by Sharp A Co. The sales amount to 17
head, to wit: 5 head by C. C. Miller; 3 by
Steckman A. Logan; Iby Grossman ; oby
Sharp A Co.; 2by Reisher, and Iby Hihsh
nian, leaving 59 head in the stables for sale
Funk's.— 'There were 21 head on hand las'
week. No arrivals. The sales were 7 head
leaving 14 in the stables.
Copeland A Cline's. —There were 29 head

William Laughlin, of New York city, leav
ing 36 very line working horses, of various
colors, yet for sale.
Leman , Murphy A Co.’*.—No arrivals or
sales.
liiEt’T. McClcne’s Pamphlet.—The
York Gazette thus notices the pamphlet o
Lieut. H. 11. MeClune, recently printed at
this office:
“ The Old Capitol Prison and the Dry
Tortugas."—' 'Phis is the title of a pamphlet,
recently issued by 11. H. McClune, of Lan
caster county, to whom we are indebted for
a copy. It is dedicated lo “ The Friends of
Personal Liberty and the Advocates of Con
stitutional Law,” and narrates the arrest,
false imprisonment, and persecutions of the
author in the Old Capitol Prison and on the
Dry Tortuga*. “ Truth is stranger than Fic
tion,” the render of this little volume will
bo led to exclaim ; for the pages of a ro
mance are not more fraught with plots, per
secutions, and sufferings, than is the simple
narration of the privations of this victim of
official persecution and arbitrary power. It
seems almost incredible that such outrages
could ever have been committed with im
punity m this boasted land of Freedom ;
but we all know of hundreds of similar
cases, not* only permitted, but applauded by
men who claim to bo American citizens.
We may speak of the outrages of Inquisi
tions, Star Chambers and the like; but their
parallel has been found on this continent,
and in this country. Mr. McClune’s ex
perience is only that of thousands of
others, many of whom could not survive
their persecutions, and now sleep in lonely
graves. We hope the writer of this narra
tive may live to have all his wrongs .righted,
and to see his inhuman persecutors visited
with corjdign punishment for their heinous
crimes against Liberty and Right.
We are informed that this interesting nar
ration of oppression and wrong can be had
at the book store of James B. Small, in this
borough.
The Blind Made to See.— Dr. J. A.
Jones_ (now stopping at Michael’s Hotel,
this city) is working miracles. Yesterday
an old gentleman of some 60 or 70 years,
from Lewistown, Milllin county, who had
been blind of one eye for twelve years from
cataract, was made to see in a short time by
Dr. Jones. It is truly pleasing to know
we have in our midst a man so eminently
successful in his profession as Dr. J. The
afflicted should not let this opportunity
pass.
Suicide.— On the night of the 18th of Jan
uary, a man named Rufus Lambert, hung
himself in the barn of Jeremiah Harming,
in the borough of Adamstown, in this coun
ty. Coroner Absalom B. Bixler was sent
for and.summoned a jury, who rendered a
verdict in accordance with the facts. The
cause which induced the commission of the
rash act is unknown.
A New Wine.— ln this age of bad
whisky and extended liquor , it is pleasant
to know that there is one article of pure
wine in the market. We have reference to
Speer’s Samburg Port Wine. We at first
tried it somewhat unwillingly, but were
agreeably disappointed in finding it one of
the most delicious nectars I had ever tasted.
I doubt whether there is a vineyard in the
Old or New World that can yield a wine at
all comparable to this in richness and deli
cacy of flavor. Mr. Speer prepares it by a
process peculiar to himself, ad
dition ot spirits, and each bottle he sells is
guaranteed to be four years old. It has
found its way to London and Paris.—Bos

REPORT
Of Directors of the Fanners’ Mutual Insurance
Oonpany, at the Annual Meeting of the
Members, on Saturday; the 30th
day of December/AID. 1365.
riIHE Directors are highly gratified In being
X enabled to inform the members of the above
company that no serious los»has«been sustained
by any of its members during the current year.
Several small fires have occurred, but nono of
sufficient magnitude to require the. services of
the appraisers. The closing year h£s not passed
by without the occurrence of casualties by fire,
some of which have been attributed to the ma
licious doings of the vile Incendiary; but fortu
nately none of the property insured by this
company has been disturbed or molested. This
almost entire exemption from loss, affords am-
Ele cause for mutual tongrafiliation, and will
e gratefully accepted by every member of this
company. Another source Of gratification to
the Directors is founded on* the fiict that the
amount of property ihsured is constantly on the
increase, the augmentatlonglurlng the current
year being considerably in advance of that of
the preceding year, and the aggregate amount
now inauredby this company being upwards of
Ftve Millions of Dollars. No tax has been
levied during the past year, and although the
company is somewhat in arrears with the
Treasurer, for money advanced by him, the Di
rectors have deemed it better to borrow a few
hundred dollars for a short time than to incur
the trouble and expense df levying and collect
ing a tax for so small a sum as present ne
cessities of the company would seem to require.
The number of Policies -issued during
the past year Is 146, cowring property
to the amount of. $ 355,231
Additions made to old Policies unit'd to 29,065
Making li total addition of. $ 417,296
The number of Policies cancelled
was 39, the valuation of which
amounted to 3122,445
Diminutions on old Policies
amount to 17,150
Making a total decrease of 1.19,595
Which being d#-ducted from the addi
tion, exhibits an actual increase of-.. 277,701

In addition to the amount duo to the Treas

amounting to about oue hundred dollars, have

the company.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
