Lancaster Horse Market, Monday,
March 26, lKiii}.—Tho market has boon
somewhat dull during Iho past week, both
in the way of arrivals and sales, which
were as follows:
Mon/ur/'.s.— .’>l head on hand last Monday.
The arrivals during the week were lew, on
ly amounting to la head, ii of which were,
however, fine Western horses to C. C. Mil
ler, uud b bought up in the county. The
sales wore 11 head, leaving oS lie.ul in the
.stables for sale.

The Reynolds Monument.— The con
tract Ims just boon closed, on behalf of the
Gettysburg Mattie*held Memorial Associa
tion, for the purchase of about five acres,
the eastern portion of the grove in which
Major General .John F. 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. The offer has been
communicated to the committee acting on
behalf of tho corps, and thero can be no
doubt.that 'the commendable purpose, com
mon to both organizations, will soon be
carried into etfect by the erection on this
site of a suitable monument to the memory
of General Reynolds, liis old command
have done their share in: raising the hand
some fund, now in the hands of tho com
mittee for tho monument. The citizens,
and particularly those of them who served
under Reynolds in the militia, will be en
abled to do their share in perpetuating his
memory by aiding in raising tho fund re
quired by the Battle-held Association for
the purpose of purchasing and properly se
curing this site. 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.
Uohhery.— On Thursday night last, the
‘carpenter shop of Mr. Jacob Rornig, on the
Lancaster and KpLiruln Turnpike, in Clay
township, this county, wus broken into and
between $75 and SH)O worth of tools stolen
the.refrom. Tho thlof or thieves effected
their entranco and exit through a front
window. Several bundlos of matches, and
some lying loose and burnt, were found
scakerud around on tho benches, among
the chips, shavings, etc. The tools taken
consisted of several sets of chisels, braces,
50 hits, band-saws, etc.
Mkusonai,. —C?upt. John Madden, of this
•city an., hue of tho7oLh regiment R. V. \\,
has Ih■.*:i appointed an Assistant Assessor
of Internal Revenue for tho Stale of Geor
gia, to be stationed ut Atlanta. The Cap
lain loft for his post yesterday afternoon.
Clean l'i\—-Tills Is tho season to clean
up. 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

; 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.

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.
Eclipse of the Moon.—A total eclipse
of the moon will take place on the night of
Friday next, March 30th, which will be visi
ble in the United States. At Philadelphia,
the eclipse will begin at 37 minutes past nine
on Friday evening and end at 21) minutes
past one on Saturday morning. 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 Campaign in Connecticut.
The political campaign in Connecti
cut has grown to be one of the most in
teresting and exciting ever witnessed
in this country. 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

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. Hence this advertisement.
