Reynolds fell. The board of directors of the association author ized the purchase of the grove and the tender to the committee of tho old Ist Corps of the spot on which the brave and lament ed Reynolds fell as the site for the erection of the historical column which it proposes to build to his memory.

Of all the plans for hon oring tiio brave dead and the cause for which they fell, none comes home so closely to us as Rancnstorians as this, and there ought to be no fear for thesuecessful execu tion of all its details.

Clean up the streets, lanes and alleys —remove all the rubbish and doposlt it In some out of the way place. Cleanup your houses and cellars, and prepare for tho coming warm weather. In this way you will save much annoyance, trouble, and In mapy eases, remove that which may cause disease and breed pestilence. Lot the city authorities make up their minds to havo clean streets and clean gutters, aud they will securo tho health of the city and secure the blossings of the citizens. A Cheap Barometer.—A German has recently invented a very cheap and easily made barometer. Take |a common glass widr-mouthc<L pickle bottle and till it to within 3 inches of the mouth with the water. Then take a common sweetoil flask, cleanse it thoroughly and plunge the neck into the pickle bottle us lur as it will go. This com pletes the barometer, and in fine weather the water will rise in the neck of the flask, descending again in wet, windy weather. Before a heavy gale of wind the water has been seen to leave the flask altogether at least eight hours before the gale was at its height. The disagreeable state of the weather produces a wonderful etfect on'the human system. To prevent colds and other evil results use Dr. Mishler’s Bitters. They are a sure preventive. Lossing’s Pictorial History op the Great Civil War.”—A few of tho advance sheets of “ Lossing’s Pictorial History of the Great Civil War,” now in active course of publication by Mr. George W. Childs, tho noted publisher of Philadelphia, have been placed upon our table by Mr. William Scott, the exclusive agent for the work for this city. Mr. Childs’ name is a sufficient guarantee that it will be gotten out in the best style of the typogrnpMcal arfe Mr. Benson J, Lossiug, the historian, is the aiir •thor. ; Swindling Operation. —Within the past few weeks, a'firM irl ifiTew York city, by the name of Charles K.. Park & Co., have been forwarding to the address 1 (which they have in some unaccountable manner ob tained) of many persons in this city, letters containing certificates, which promise the presentation of watches, jewelry, etc., npon the return of the same, and $1.72 in money for each certificate. A gentleman in this city received four of these certificates, a few days ago from the firm, and suspecting the honesty of the concern, in order to test it, returned them by mail, together with adraft on the Ist National Bank of Lancaster, for the amount specified, $6.88, which would have been paid upon the receipt of the ar ticles promised—two gold hUDting-case watches, worth $65 each, a diamond ring worth $3O, and a revolver worth $2B. The letter, as he expected, was returned this morning, stating that they could not send the articles, because he had neglected to for ward the amount in money. If the gentle man had endorsed the draft this set of swin dlers would have drawn the money and he would never have received the articles promised. Our citizens should be on their guard, as the country is flooded with these swindling certificates. A Valuable Farm, seven miles from the city of Frederick, Md., is offered at pub lic sale. See advertisement. Appointed.— James L. Allen has been appointed postmaster at Smyrna, this county, in place of S. A. Z. Umble, resigned Woman Drowned. — Yesterday after noon, the body of an elderly ludy, named . Mrs. Spooks, about 70 years of age, who re sided within a short distance of the Old Factory and just beyond the city limits, was found floating in the Conestoga. It appear ed thut she had gone to the creek, which passed at the rear of her garden, to wash out a doughtray, which slipped from her grasp and flouted away. She, it is sup posed, attempted to recover it by wading into the water after it, but being very weak and feeble fell and was drowned. Deputy Coroner Sndyer held an ‘inquest over the body this morning, and a verdict was ren dered in accordance with the above facts.

Theeclipse will be total from 44 minutes past 10, until 23 minutes past 12. A total eclipse of the moon is a sufficiently rare thing to make it an interesting phenomenon. Mail Robber Arrested.— On Saturday afternoon last, a young man named Mel linger, of Elizabethtown, this county, acting Mail Agent on the Reading and Columbia Railroad, was arrested by a Post Office De tective and committed to Prison at Reading on the charge of robbing the U. 8. Mail. It appears that for some time past letters con taining money and other valuables, had not reached their destination by this route, and steps Were accordingly taken to ferret out the matter. Tho detective deposited a let ter containing a sum of inonoy marked, In the Post Office at Litiz to u person at Read ing, and followed the same there. When ho reached that city, finding that the letter had not arrived, lie arrested tho Mail Agent, upon whoso person was found tho marked money. The Susquehanna Fisheries Restor ation Jlili..— Tho bill providing for the restoration of tho fisheries in the Susque hanna river and its tributaries, says the Harrisburg Tvlvyru-ph, and which passed the House by a docided vote, is now before the Senate. No measure of this session in volves a more important principle of right, or is fraught with greater blessing to tho people than that proposing to restore these fisheries. The discussion of this bill in the Houso established tho ease with which the Susquehanna could be once more made to abound with all the varieties Of fish, by which cheap and healthy food would be provided for the people, and that the corporations whose duty it would become to alter the dams to allow the pas sage of fish in these streams could accom plish their work at little expense. With this clear understanding of the subject, a bill was passed as will be remembered, by the Houso, and this bill is now before tho Senate. That it will pass that body we have no doubt. Nevertheless, much anxiety is felt on this subject, and until the bill has been adopted and approved, tho people will watch its progress with jealous inter est.

Used Up Postage Stamps.— lt is grati fying to hoar thnt the Imrenu for mutilated currency is shortly to bo In operation.— Twenty thousand dollars of now currency have boon sont out to tho National Bunks for tho redemption of tho old notes. Ono halfoftho fractional notes in circulation aro so defaced, discolored and disguised by tilth, in handling, that tho denomination can scarcely bo detected, and it la Impossi ble to tell tho counterfoil from tho genuine. Ono-fourth of the amount is so torn and mutilated that It is with grout difficulty they can bo passed. quantity de stroyed—actually worn out and lost—must be large. All this is clear gain to tho Treasury. It is due to the public that re lief be afforded. We have always thought it would be worth while for the Govern ment, as it was thought proper to issue fractional currency, to get it up in a respec table style—on stout," durable paper, of neat shape, and not so well calculated to gather aud hold dirt as the present kind.— But we suppose we are bound to have such as we have had; the next best thing is to have the old stock changed frequently for new. We hope that those who have the new issue in hand will let it out as soon as possible.

A Traveling Scoundrel.—On Saturday evening last an unknown traveler, a va. grant and scoundrel, entered the grounds in front of the residence of William Carpenter Esq., on the Philadelphia turnpike, and made his appearance at one of the parlor windowa, where the female members of the family were quietly seated, engaged in con versation. One of the young ladies, hap pening to observe him, politely asked him to leave the premises. He refused to do so, making numerous threats against the fam ily, brandishing a large knife, and making efforts to enter. The assistance of one of Mr. C.’s sons was called for, when after considerable difficulty, the rascal was com pelled to efuit the premises.

Those of our readers who have money to spare, and are not afraid of a little risk—tor that inevitably belong to investments which pay extraordinary dividends—are advised to read the advertisement of the Revenue Extension Silver Mining Company. We are assured that the statements made in the ad vertisement in regard to the company are true, and as for the supposition that the stock will, in all probability, advance dou ble, treble, quadruple, or even sextuple its present price, that, in view of present pros pects, is by no means unreasonable. Other companies, with not half the chances at the start have accomplished even more . Nor do we know of a single company that has ma - cbinery out or on the way, which is not con sidered by those who are acquainted with the business as sure to pay, if honestly man aged. The risk of mismanagement or fraud must be borne in such investments—they cannot be avoided. Beyond that, however, we do Dot believe there is a single doubt of success, in any company which has or will have Reduction and Amalgamating works in Nevada.

The New York World has the following account of what tran spired at an immense mass meeting in New Haven on last Saturday night. It says: Oneof the most magnificent meetingsever held in this city convened last evening in and around Music Hall to listen to Hon. Washington Hunt and others in behalf of the President’s policy and the election of James E. English. It was just after the re ception of the news in yesterday’s World— which carries the State for the Democrats [jy u majority increasing with every day from this to the election—of the President’s approval of Postmaster Cleveland’s course in stumping the State in opposition to the disunion ticket; and the people flocked to gether with a common impulse, crowding the hall and organizing a rousing outside meeting to cheer with vociferous enthusi asm at every mention of Johnson’s name. The distinguished speakers announced called together an audience of the solid men of the community, and the meeting with undivided attention, and, with fre quent demonstrations of approval, listened to the remarks from the platform until nearly 12 o’clock aud then seemed loth to go, and before they loft, making the hall resound with cheers for the Presideut, for the speakers, and for Mr. English, the next Governor of Connecticut, sure. Hon. Washington Hunt first ad dressed the huge meeting assembled in the Hall in a speech of great power. At the conclusion of his speech The chairman said that a gentleman was on his way from Washington to this meet ing, bringing a message which he will an nounce to you. He sends, however, a brief synopsis of what ho brings. Voice—Who is it, Babcock? [Laughter.] Mr. Betts—No, not Babcock. (Great laughter.) Babcock came back last night. (Continued laughter.) The distinguished citizens who is bringing the communication to you is not Babcock. (Increased merri ment.) But he is well known to you. I shall read his dispatch. (Cries, “Yes, yes.”) It begins: “Glorious!” (Cheers.) “ Say to the meeting everything is right.” (Cheers.) “ The President acknowledges in the Union party only those who support his policy.” (Cheers.) “Wo have his written indorse ment of Cleveland’s political action.” [Tu multuous cheering and. waving of hats.]— “ Keep the meeting open till 11. C. M. In gersoll.” [Cheers.] Hon. Richard Vauxof Philadelphia followed Mr. Hunt in a speech which elicited a constant outburst of applause aud laughter. At the conclusion of his speech, Mr. Ingersoll appeared on the stand and spoke as follows: Fellow Citizens: May we not all say in response to what I anf about to state to you, “God bless Andrew Johnson!” (Great cheering.) It was my pleasure at this very hour last night to meet with His Excellen cy the President, in connection with a dis tinguished gentleman from Hartford, in regard to this all-important election that is upon us. We were confident of his views, and the more so, because, on entering his room, we saw that the only picture whicli hung there, displacing one that had pre viously occupied the place, was the portrait of Andrew Jackson, and we could not but think that the mantle of Andrew Jackson had fallen upon the living man before us. (Cheers.) We were there tosav to the Pres ident that representations had been made by the Radicals in this State that he was opposed to the election of James E. English. We rend to him the statement of Mr. Owen and Mr. Grisworld, that has appeared in the public prints, in which they state, in substance, that the President desired whatever battles he had to fight should be fought within the Union party. He said. “It is true I stated that; but when I said the Union party, I did not mean the men who are endeavoring to break up this Union, but the men who stand by me.” (Tumultu ous cheering, long continued.) Said he: “ I believe the maintenance of this Union depends upon the policy which 1 have in dicated to Congress, and those who sustain that policy are my frieuds, and those who oppose that policy I certainly have no de sire to see electecf to any office.” (Tremen dous cheering.) We stated to him that Postmaster Cleveland, at Hartford, had nobly come forward in defense of our can didate for Governor. He said he was aware of it. A letter was then handed to him in which he stated to the President that he had taken this course, and if it was not satis factory to the President, his resignation was in his knnds. The President took that letter and indorsed upon the back of it, as you have already read in the public prints: “Your political action, in upholding my measures and policy, is approved. Your resignation is, thoreiore, not accepted, but is herewith returned. Andrew Johnson.” (Three rousing cheers for Andv Johnson.) That letter we briug with us to-night. (Cheers.) “Now,” said the President, “ whatever battles I fight, I desire to fight in the Union party, aud no one, after what I have been through, will question my devotion to the Union, but the Union party is not the parly of: the Radicals.” (Great cheering.) Ido not profess to give here his exact words, but I give you the substance of the conversation. Gentlemen, you know not the interest tho President feels in the election that is now pending in thisStato. (Cheers.) You know uot, uud cannot imagine one-half tho inter est that the people of Washington are taking in this election. Their eves are turned hero as to u buttle field where they hope a great victory is to be won (cheers)—a victory for the Union and Constitution; and I told thorn, for my part, that wo would bo able to semi them a week hence such a shout of triumph as would gladden tho heart of every lover of his country throughout tho land, (Chuurs.) Wo were introduced to the President by that gallant sol dier, General Rossoau, a member of Con gi ess from Kentucky. He had been oonfined for two days to his room, and svns under orders from his physicians not to leave it, but he felt that the duty was incumbent upon him to go with us* to the Executive mansion, aud ho went and aided us with all his powers. Ho has promised, if his health is in any manner restored, that he will be here next week, commencing on Monday, and he, gentlemen, will tell you that he and the President, and they who act with him, desire the election of James E. English. [The audience rose and cheered for some time.] Mr. Gallagher, the chairman of the State Committee, in responso to loud calls of his name from all parts of the hall, appeared, and was greeted with loud cheering. He excused himself from making any extend ed remarks. OUTSIDE MEETINGS. Two large outside meetings were or ganized of those who could not be ac commodated in the hall, and were ad dressed by Messrs. Francis J. Tucker, James C. Anderson, and other, amid enthusiastic demonstrations. As Mr. Anderson was speaking from the steps of the Custom House, the police, who are a Republican machine, threatened to arresthim. “ Sir,” Baid Mr. Ander son to the leader, “ I am on Andy John son’s property, and you haven’t the au thority to interrupt me.” The crowd was roused to great indignation, shout ing “ Free speech,” “Nomorebastile9,” &c., and the police were glad to desist from their attempts to disturb the meet ing. Last week the Secretary of the Treasury made the following disburse ment on account of the hereinafter mentioned departments:—War, $7,789,- 702; Navy, $4,083,729; Interior, $1,908,- 813; Total, $13,782,204.

Referring to the reports made by Mr, Garfield last Congress from the Select Com mittee to investigate into the management of tho currency priuting bureau, he found that although It was not signed, it com menced by reciting that Mr. Garfield, frotji the Select Committee, (fcc., made the follow ing report. The minority report was signed by him self (Mr. Brooks) and Messrs. Stewart. Steele and Dawson. He had a letter read from Mr. Jordan, Solicitor to the Treasury, to Mr. Chase, stating as the result of an in vestigation made by him into the charges against S. M. Clark, he had received an en tire conviction that the most part of the statements were true. Mr. Wilson, lowa, said that he had not concurred in the conclusions of the Com mittee, and that if the report had been sented to him for his signature he would not have signed it. Mr. Garfield, Ohio, Btated that this was the first time he knew that the gentleman from lowa dissented from the report of the majority. The majority had authorized him (Mr. Garfield) to make it, and he had made it. Mr. Wilson, lowa, said that he had been asked by Mr. Henry Winter Davis, a member of the Committee, whether he was willing to sign the report, and**bad replied that he was not, as he did not agree with the Committee in its conclusions asset forth in the report and in the resolution accom panying it. Here the matter dropped and Mr. Moulton addressed the House. Washington, March 26,1866. Senate —Mr. Sumner rose to a question of privilege, and moved to amend me jour nal of Friday by striking Mr. Stockton's name from the vote deciding his case.

Mr. Grinnell replied that he was on the honest side. Mr. Grinnell was excused, and Mr. Sloan, Wis., appointed in his place. Mr. Wentworth, 111., from the Committee of Ways and Means, reported by unani mous consent a bill for the admission free.of duty of steam agricultural implements and machinery for toe manufacture of flax and beet sugar for the period of one year.

HARPER, of Harper, Purney & Co., Rankers, Philadelphia, Secretary—LOUlS R. McDONOUGH, Phlla. Superintendent at the Mines— D. S. CHILDS, Mining Eugineer, Austin, Nevuda. No. 55 South Third Street, PHILADELPHIA. SILVER MINING PROFITABLE. That the business of Mining and reducing sil ver quart/, is Immensely profitable, is amply attested by the results whli n have accrued from the mines of Mexico, Peru, Germany and other silver bearing couutrles, and that silver lodes are remarkably rich, as well as numerous in Nevada, we have the testimony of such emi nent and disinterested men as Bishop Simpson, Prof. Slllitnau, Prof. James, Hon. Horace Greeley. Speaker Colfax and Senator Nye, who personally visited and Inspected the mines, besides hundreds of other inalvlduals who are now engaged In the business of mining in that State. Prof. Silllman, whilst In Nevada, deliv ered a lecture in the city of Austin, during which he said: “We cannot count upon the time when mining will cease to be prolltable In hlHn*” Bishop Simpson, 01 me MemoaiM churuu, in a lecture delivered In the City of New York, after his return from Nevada said: “ Were the debt of our nation $20,000.000,000, there Is wealth enough there, when our debt Is paid oir, to give to every soldier who returns from our battle fields muskets of silver instead of iron. • • I do not speak now from idle speculation, but I speak of that wealth from observation and ac tual calculation. WHAT DIVIDENDS MAY BE EXPECTED. As to the amount of dividends that may be reasonably expected from o Sliver Mining Company, operating In Nevada, it may beset down as ranging from 100 to 1000 per ceid. per annum, according to the progress made in tbe mines, and the quantity of machinery ntwork. Harper’s Monthly Magazine for August con* tained an article on “ Nevada,” which, with reference to the profits of silver raining, said: “II the mine be or even average value It can scarcely fall to return from ten to 1 wenty per cent per month to the Investor; and silver mines are unlike gold mines, In that they are inexha ust able, and may be worked for generations when opened," A receut Issue of the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, speaking on this subject says: “The mining statistics of Nevada show us that when ever worked with proper appliances, and un der (udicious management, these mines have paid from 300 to 800 per cent, per annum upon ihe capital invested." WHAT OTHER COMPANIES ARE DOING. There Is nota single company now in opera tion with their own machinery in Nevada, as far as we have learned, that Is not a complete success. All are returning not only large, but enormous Dividends, and the price 01 their shares have correspondingly advanced. For Instance, on March 2d, the stocks of the older Companies were quoted in the city papers as follows: “Gould & Curry, 8050* Savage, $915; Chollar Potosl, $3O/3; Imperial, $117; Crown Point, $1,010; Alpha, $200; Yellow Jacket,s43o." Tee original price of these stocks was less than sso—some of them only $lO. And the Compa nies more recently organized are not a wall le-s prosperous, but as far progressed give every promlseofan ultimate success even r/reaf er than that achieved by the Gould A Curry.— For example, the stock of the Halo A Noroross Company of Nevada, which a few months «go was worth only $lO, Is now quoted at $1,150. 80, also, the Boston and Keese River Mining Com funv, which commenced work only last fall; is Riiares, though originally sold at $lO, soon went up to $lO5, and on the first of March had udvuneed to SIOO. H. B. KEEN EM AN, THE NATURAL CONCLUSION. It may therefore he safely asserted ihat no other ente 1 prise, requiring the association of capital, offers so many inducements for Invest ments, with so little risk , us Silver Mining. Ev ery Company that owns a mine and will honestly go to work, must he a sL'cetKs! Jt cannot possi hlyfa.il. The only difference between compa nies ch work will bo In the amounts of their dividends. THE REVENUE EXTENSION SILVER MIN ING COMPANY Aro the owners of NINETEEN {Mb valuable Silver Ledges, amounting to 41,000 llneur loot (the chief of which Is the Revenue Extension Lead, ono of the richest ever discovered In that district,) all of which arc situated upon the celebrated Lauder Hill, near Austin, Nevada. Thu Hopkins’ Tunnel, which commences at the foot of Lander 11111. and will pierce the hill from side to side, running at right angles wltti the Sliver Veins, nnd wlfl cut In Its course up ward of ono hundred and Ilfty mlaos (this number being already located), Is also the pro perty of this Company. Work upon this tun nel is being pushed forward with energy, and has already reached upward of tlireo hundred feet. HPRINO IHIIO. Thu Superintendent telegraphs from Austin, Novnda, uhder date - of February 22, 1888, os fol lows : " At work on Revenue Extension Mlno; oro taken out to-day assays $4.57.45 to the ton. Work ou HopklnH’ Tunnel advanced 70 feetslncelast dispatch (February 2d).” And again, under duto of March sth, as fol* lovaj: “Receipts In bullion 81,900. Tunnel advanced 100 leet. Revenue shaft 20 feet." WHAT OTHERS SAY' ABOUT IT. The Philadelphia Commercial List of March 3d contains a letter from one of its correspond ents, dated Austin, Nevada, February 5, 1808, which says: “ At the lower extremity of the city of Aus tin—qnondam Clifton—where Pony Canon de bouches into Reese River Valley, a project lias been Commenced, which, If carried out In ac cordance with the plan of those who conceived the scheme, will prove one of the most mag nificent works ofthe day, and which cannot lail to handsome y reward those who push It to completion. I allude to the Hopkins'Tun nel. The Revenue Extension Mining Compa ny, bwnlng this tunnel, have a series of ledges lying parallel with each other, located upon the hill, at the foot of which this work com mences, and will cut at nearly a right angle each lode with which It comes In contact throughout its entire length, and they can be numbered by the score—the hill being liter ally seamed with them. As this great work progresses, vein after vein of the rock bearing the precious metal will be crossed, at a depth sufficient to render Ihelr working profitable, each in succession being at a greater depth from the surface thau the preceding one, ow ing to the rising 01 the hill in which they are located. Upon these veins, after they are cros?.ed, workmen can be engaged In extract ing the ores upon either side of the tunnel, without in any manner hindering its progress.’* THESUCCESSOF THE COMPANY’ CERTAIN. It is thus apparent that the Revenue Exten sion Silver Mining Company have progressed so far In their operations that success is no* only certain, but actually at tqs door. Be fore the close of the coming summer—perhaps by the middle—it will be ranked amoogst the DIVIDEND-PAYTNU companies, and its stock will, in all probability, advance to $25, $5O, or perhapß even 81U0 per share. Therefore, now is the time to invest. Only a small portion of the working capital yet remains unsold, and the Directors are anxious that It should bedls gosed of Immediately, In order that there may e no delay In the prosecution of the work in hand.
