Habberger,MoCuluy ACo.’s Works.—
The buildings in which Messrs. Harberger,
McCulley A Co. carry on their extensive
works, are situated on Chestnut street, and
were erected in 1801 on the site of Kieffer’s
Old Foundry, which was destroyed by fire.
The Machine Shop is 35 feet 2 inches by 87
feet 8 inches and is the T first floor ofatwo
and a lialf st ory building. In the rear is the
Blacksmith’s Shop, the dimensions of which
are 32 feet by ,30 feet. Between these two
shops are the boilers of twenty horse capacity
although this amount of power is seldom
used. The Foundry is d. sepurate building
and is 77 feet 8 inches by 47 feet 8 inches.
The Machine Shop is calculated for any
kind of machine work. It is fitted up with
a twelve horse power steam engine, large
engine lathes, planers, drills, hand lathes,
wheel lathe, wheel drawing machiue capa
ble of expending u pressure of 80 to 100
tons, etc. In this shop are manufactured
' Davis’ celebrated cloth dressing machines,
which are being used in every section of
the country. At the present time machines
for New York, Pittsburg, Baltimore, Texus
and California are under way. The firm
are also kept busy in erecting steam engines,
three of which of fifteen horse power are in
course of construction.
The Blucksmith Shop is fitted with two
fires, the blast being supplied from a fan.
In this shop is a Brass furnace, where con
siderable work is done.
The Foundry is a capacious and lofty
building, and castings of very large size
can be made there. The cupola is capable
of melting eight tons of metal at one time.
A large number of retorts for the gas works
in this city, Columbia, York and elsewhere
have* been cast here.
'Hie second story and garret over the
machine shop are used for the pattern
rooms, of which Messrs. H.,MeC A Go., ap
pear to have a very largo stock. Patterns
calculated for all kinds of steam utul water
power can bo found hero.
This firm has manufactured a large quan
tity of machinery which is now in operation
in this city and the Immediate neighbour
hood, they have also been extensively pat
ronized by persons ut a distance, The very
neat um^smootlfworklngengine in l’mnke’s
Brewery is one of their build, unfflliey have
reran By supplied Messrs. Thomas Arnold
A < ■(),, of Peauhbottom, York county, with
a hoisting apparatus and a derrick lbr|lhoir
slnlo quarry, and also a perpendicular
pump which will throw 951 hogsheads of
water in ton hours.
Messrs. Harberger A Co., have a patent
for a water wheel, which from thu'modol
appears to us to be constructed on scientific
principles. We are informed that two of
those wheels are now in operation in this
vicinity, and it is ourintention in say some
thing of the merits <'S them as soon as we
have seen them working. A wheel where
the full force of \Vatcr can be obtained
without waste of any kind, either in power
or materials, is very desirable, and if this
wheel cun accomplish that, we are sure that
it has only to be known, when the, ingeni
ous inventor wdl have more orders than ho
can fill.
Ouu Carriage MANiTFArrrnKRS.—One
of the most important branches of maim
facluxe in this city, is that of carriages. We
have extensive shops, and first-class me
elmnies. This day we give a notice of only
one of our enlorprismacoueerns; wo will
follow up with space will
allow. ’ ’
Messrs. Alticlc A’ Mediums have a very
extensive concern on West Orange street,
neur Prinee, where they turnout as much
work as their space of building will afford.
Forty-eight hands are employed at all
seasons of the year, and they can certainly
finish a large number of vehicles. Their
hotly shop is large and commodious, and
sulllciently adjacent to their wood shop
that no lime is lost in the selection of ma
terials for the particular work under hand.
The paint and varnish shops are con
veniently Jilted up. The Trimmers can nc-
their work without leaving the
mom t-HTTy nro engaged in. The Blacksmith
shop is fitted up with live forges which nro
kept in operation.
There are very few carriage manufac
turers who do their own silver-plating, but
Messrs. Alticlc A McGinnis do theirs. They
have everything in the shupuof facilities for
doing this work, ami the specimens that
we saw this day prove that they can produce
good work in this department.
Tin* premises have a front of 4(1 feet on
Prince street and 75 fuel on Orange street,
the depth being from both frontages 225
feel.
The carriages mnmil'uctured nl this es
tablishment are sold not only in thisneigh
borhood, but also in the West, the orders
in most instances being too large to fill,
unless the purchasers give them tlmo to do
so.
The Wheat Midme.—The essay thut
was delivered on Saturday last before the
Linmeun Society aud which wo published
011 that date is so able a production that wo
feel inclined to draw ihquttentionofour read
ers to it.
Tlu> subject lms been treated by Mr. N. S.
Uiithvnn in u purely practical and scientific
way. Hu lma distinctly pointed out the dif
furenco between the ravages of the “red
weevil" and tlio insect that is not the weevil
at all, but the “wheat midge.” After refer
ring to the weevil, lie refers to the insect
that is now doing so much for the destruc
tion of our grain, and winds tip as follows :
TluWn/r “red weevil” or “ browit wee
vil” is the »y ilophiln.s oryzea of Linn., but
in this country it is mainly confined to the
rice crops of the Southern Stales. Speci
mens are sometimes brought North with
the rice, and I have boon in tills way ena
bled to obtain specimens for my cabinet.
Those may lly abroad and deposit their eggs
upon the mature wheat, as the barn weevil
(hies, for they are destructive to the wheat
in both lOuropo anti the southern httiludus
of i hin country where wheat is raised; but
from the fact that it is too cold fur their full
am) proper development so far north as
Pennsylvania, wo need notapprohend much
danger from them.
Wo wish our fanners to peruse carefully
Mr. Hathvon’a article and investigate for
themselves, as wojeel satisfied thut they
will come to the conclusion thut it is an in
sect that contains a oertaiu and thorough
destruction of grain crops, unless circum
vented by the ingonuityof man or counter
acting causes which exist in nature.
We would therefore make particular
reference m the following:
Lastly, how many limners would euro
about burning up the chair of an infested
wheal field-when iho crop of the said field
was worth littlu more thun the struw and
ohull—ami these substances wore so neces
sary for ‘Tied and board” for his stock, and
fertilizers for his exhausted fields? Aud
yet those, among other things, may be neces
sary to he done if ho ever expects io circum
vent the ravages of the wheat mulgc.
Tin: Dkath ok Captain STUicKum.—
We regret to have to record tho death of
Captain .Jacob M. Btriekler. His reputation
during the ravages of tho cholera in Colum

Wheat Midge.—Wo give l 'an able ad
dress delivered .this afternoon, by Mr. S.S.
-Rathvon before the Linneean Society. The
subject of itself is of importance to all, but
when so ably handled, deserves attentive pe
rusal: ■
Much alarm has been manifested the
present season, over a large portion of our
country, at the appearance or this destruc
tive insect in the wheat crops. Thereseems
to be a great misapprehensioninregard to the
Dature, character and species of the insect.
From nearly every locality where the wheat
to suffering, in .consequence of the presence
of this insect, we hear complaints against
the ravages of the “red-weevil,” when in
reality the insect complained of is not a
weevil at all. At least this is not the case,
if the insect alluded to is the same that in
fested the wheat crops of Lancaster County.
The true weevil—all true weevils— belongs
to the Order Coleoptera , and is therefore a
“beetle;” whereas the “Wheat-Midge”
belongs to the Order Diptera, and is there
fore a “ two-winged Fly.” The larvse of all
true weevils have a well developed head and
jawSj and are masticatory in their gastro
nomical habits; whereas the larvte of the
midges have not a prominently developed
bead, are without visible jaws, and are suc
torial in their habits. The larvse of the true
weevils penetrate or burrow into the sub
stances they feed upon; whereas the larvte
of the midges either cause a gall to form
uround them, or adhere to the outsides of
the seeds and plants they live upon, whilst
they are in their green and succulant state,
and through punctures made in their skin,
suck out their sap or juices, and thus do an
incalculable amount of injury to growing
vegetation. Weevils of all kinds, properly
so called, belong to the great Coleop
terous family Curculionidce , which in
cludes the ’“ Plum-weevils,” “Grain
weevils,” “Chestnut-weevils,” Ac., Ac.
Midges on the other hand belong to the
great Dipterous family Tipularice , which
includes the “ Moschitoes,” “Gnats,” “Hes
sian Flies,” Ac., Ac. By opening an in
fested plum, a chestnut, or an apple, a larva
may be obtained, which is a true represen
tative of the “ red-weevil” in its larva state;
and by opening a willow-gall, an infested
gooseberry, or the roll on the edge of a locust
leaf, at the proper season, a laiva may be
obtained, which is a true representation of
the larva of the “ wheat-miage.” In short
the lurvie of the former come under the de
nomirmtimi of “grubs,” whilst those of the
latter cotno under the denomination of
“maggots.” Ot course there are exceptions
to these general statements; as for Instance,
in regard to those larvic of the TipularUv
that live and undergo their transformations
in the water, and also those few that are
found inside of the substances they feed
upon; and these exceptional cases consti
tute the ground for divisions into sub-f'um
illes ana groups, not necessary to notice
particularly in a general essay.
On the 15th of June, 1800, I)r. Joseph Gib
bon sent mo a number of wheut heads, de
siring to know If they were infested with t he
red wceril. The wheat grains were about
one-fourth or ono-third developed near the
base of the heads, and less so towards the
apex; and upon examining about forty
grains, taken indiscriminately from the
bunch, I found that every one contained
from one to live of the eggs or living larvte
of the " wheat fly ” or “ wheat midge ” us it
is called in different localities. Five or six
days later tho Dr. sent mo another bunch of
wheat bauds, and in these I found many
grains—-indued greatly the larger por
tion of them—iiueiyl developed aud appar
ently uninjured. But in quite a number of
others I found also tho lurvieof the “ wheut
fly ” finely developed, being fully one-eighth
of an inch in length, in some cases, and of a
deep orange color. The body is rather blunt
at the hind end, and in front is gradually
tupering, giving it the form of what is
usually recognized us u “maggot.” In
cluding tho head, which is very small, and
the anal termination, which seems to be
bifud, tho body consists of twelve distinct
segments or cross-sections, und is entirely
without feel. Within the husks of Home
grains I found from five to fifteen of these
maggots, and the grain nearly or entirely
destroyed, the amount of destruction being
proportioned to the numbers preseut.—
Where there are half a dozen or more mag
gots within the husk, they are plainly vis
ible through it, and all such husks, and the
whole head so infested, present a yellowish
appearance—as if prematuroly ripened.—
Where but one or two of these larva) occur,
the grain is not entirely destroyed, buttnay
still yield a remunerating proportion of far
inaceous matter. Oil such grains there is
visible only a greater or less distortion or
depression about the buse opposite the su
tu rul side of the grain ; but when there are
over four or five maggots found upon a
single grain, there is not much hope lor its
productive qualities. In my examination
ot wheat fields the present season, I have
found these infested heads most prevalent
along the margins of fields,or on low grounds
and places much shaded by over-hanging
limbs of trees, und I believe this is also the
experience of many intelligent farmers.—
Indeed on high grounds and towards tho
centre of the fields,nsingie grain or so could
only' hero and there be l'pund, when along
the margins of tho same fields, or in low
tint places, dozens of heads could be collected
within a few yards square, every one of
which was more or less infested.
This lame or maggot, it may be well to
state, does not penetrate and subsist inside
of the grain, us tho larva of all grain and
fruit weevils do; but on the contrary, like
the larva ot fku llessian Fly, whose near
retention it is—it adheres to the outside of
tho grain, in tho same manner that the
Hessian Fly does to the stalk—its body
forming an indentation or cavity in the
wheat corn, and through tho thin skin that
surrounds the grain in its milky state, it
sucks the substance that otherwise would
produce a sound and productive grain of
wheat. 1 n our latitudo thousands and tens of
thousnndH--yeumillions,oftheselittlGyellow
maggots never reach maturity, on account
of tho rapid nnd prematurely ripening of
the grain; nnd anything thut the agricul
turist can do to accelerate that process, will
so fur render his crops less liable to injury
from this insect. In tho egg state, or when
tho maggots uro first evolved, it is verj*
difficult to see them at all, on account of
their transparency, and therefore many per
sons on u first und vorv superficial exam
ination of thoir crops have supposed that
the insect was not present, whereas on ex
aminations made a week or ten days later,
scores of them would be reveuled. These
larva* therefore will always be found be-
tween the wheat grain aud the husks or
chaff that encloses it, nnd from tho fact that
I have found so many of tho insects en
tirely inactive and rigid, as if they had al
ready passed to tho pupa state, which is
merely a shortening and hardening of tho
skin of the larva. In which slato tho body
is cylindrical and tapering at each end, and
tho segments or cross seetlons.inore distinct,
and tho color deeper than.in tho larva slate.
Isay these facts incline mo to tho opinion
thut many of them are carried from the
field to tho barn or stack, and aftor passing
through tho threshing machine, are blown
out with tho chaff without injury, and in
this manner are carried to tho fields ugaln
in the fall und spring, whore they ro-uppear
us files or midges when tho grain is In the
bloom, to go through the sume process in
succeeding seasons that they have in the
last.
The insect under immediate consideration
is supposed to have been imported from
Europe—us it is identical with u species
known to have been in England and on the
continent us early as the yeur 1773, in both
of which countries it greatly damaged the
different grain crops. It was first noticed
in this country, in the State of Maine, about
tho yeur 1820 and a description of its hubils
was published in the “Maine Farmer” us
early as 1828.
Subsequently it mude its appearance in
Massachusetts und other Eastern .States,
where it not only attacked the wheat crop,
hut ulho the rye, the hurley, tho outs und
tho timothy, its course isuppurently from
east to west, extending its sphere of opera
tions in thut direction about thirty or forty
milos a year. A fow years ago it was very
destructive in tho State of New York und
by somo means got into Ohio and Indiunu,
and now w.u have it in Pennsylvania, It
belongs to the typical genus of the restricted
or tiub-Family Cccidomyidcv , and for aught
that is yet known to the contrary, Is tho
Cccidoiniya tritici of Kirby and Curtis. Ac
cording to the combined observations of
authors tho theory of its propagation and
transformation is tills. When the grain is in
tho bloom—be it earlier or later in tho season
—und during a period of from twenty to
twenty-live days or more, the pareutinseots
appear in tho shape of little guuts, in the
grain fields in the ovening, and deposit their
within tho elinlf, whore it is forced open
by the protrusion of tho bloom, assisted by
an elongation of the abdomen and a re
tractile ovipositor in the female. Some
writers suppose that the young larva or
maggot In Its first stages feeds upon the
pollen. This may be so, but I also know
that I found the egg and also the young
muggot, so exceedingly minute that they
could not bo deteoted by the naked eye,
neartho base of the half-formed wheat-grain
on the 15th of June, us though they might
have been deposited there u short time be
fore. Infivoorsixduysafter tho deposition
of the eggs—according to the temperature of
the wouthor—these eggs are hatched and a
small yellowish maggot Is evolved, which
does not appear to leave the spot whero it
was excluded, but commences extracting
tho milky Julco of the grain, and continues
to do so for ten or twelve days; when by a
sort ol wriggling motion It pusses out of
the chufl'anaTalls to the ground, and burrows
down about an inch boneatn the surface.
Hero It undergoes its pupal transformation
und remains in tlmt condition until tho next
HBuson, when itjngnln makes its appearance
as ft “ whoat-iiy"or “midge." In this state
it is not more than a ninth or tenth of an
inch In length,havingan orungocolored body
and fuot, transparent changeable wings,
which uro narrow at tho buso, rounded ut
tip. and have tho edges fringed with little
hairs. Tho untomno uro long uml consist
of from twolvo to twenty (according to sox)
boud-liko Joints surroundod by whirls of
minute hairs; in short, differing very little,
except in size und coloring, from the “ Hes
siun-fly" and “ willow-gnat," to which
species It is gbnorieally allied.
Before I conclude this puper, porhups I
ought to say something upon the genoral
ofiQOt of this insect upon the crops the'pres
ont Booson, and the anilities of the animal
m a devastator! These insects naturally
coine In a swarm from tho fields in which
wheat was grown last year 4 and. the but?
face of these fields having remained a whole
•year undisturbed, of course they have every
opportunity to arrlvd at a full state of de
velopment. During the day they remain
in a quiet state under the leaves of grass or
grain, in the evening ;thev sally forth
and mate, and then the females com
mence depositing their eggs, and continue
to do so as late as nine o’clock. Of course
they will alight upon the first grain field
, that they meet, if it is otherwise in a suit
able condition; hence they are usually
found along the margins of the fields in the
greatest numbers, and often along that
margin only which is nearest to the scene
of their dejgwdations last season. The
damages traShis insect the present season,
taken as Vwhole. will not be by any means
so has been anticipated: most of
the gf iln which I have examined nas filled
beauuiuily, although the midge was more or
less present in all of it. But it will be de
feated in a great measure by an early ripen
ing of toe grain. Its history, its economies
and its habits, however, contain the elements
of a certain and thorough destruction of the
grain crop, unless circumvented by the in
genuity of man, or counteracting causes
which exist in nature. There Bhould be a
thorough and intelligent study of the babits
of this insect by the agriculturists them
selves, because they are most interested in
the matter, and have the best opportunities
for doing so. Daily observations should be
made upon the growing grain, that is con
stantly before them, ana these should be
continued through all the phases of the in
sect’s transformation throughout the year.
When they are fully acquainted with its
history, then the intelligent application of
an effective remedy can only be resorted to
with any prospect of success. An entomolo
gist may not necessarily know as much
about thislpart of the insect’s history as an
agriculturists ought to know; and if he did,
it is more than probable that his advice
would not be followed. For instance, where
is the farmer who would like to burn a
whole field of wheat to destroy these in
sects on the recommendation of an ento
mologist? even if he were sure of getting
no wheat. As some compensation ior his
weary hours of labor, be might value it on
account of its yield of straw.
Again, where is the farmer who would
like to turn down, with plough,
the stubble land from which he had gather
ed a short and inferior crop of grain, and on
which tho winter previous, he had sowed
dearly purchased timothy and clover
and depended upon it for fall pasturing,
and a crop of buy the next season ; merely
at the recommendation of one who might
know no more about farming “than a pig
does about a holiday,” oven if there were the
strongest probabilities of thereby destroy
ing or preventing, tho full development of
the “wheat midge?”
Lastly, how many farmers would care
about burning up ull the ehuffofan infested
wheat field—when the crop of the said field
was wortli little more than the straw and
chuff-and these substances wore so neces
sary for “bod and board” for his stock, und
fertilizers for his exhausted fields? And
yet these, among other things, may be
necessary to be done if he over oxpeots to
circumvent the ravages of the wheat midge.
Other remedies huve been suggested—
such for instance as burning brimstone
along the margins of the fields most liable
to attack, when tho gruin is in bloom ; but
if even this wore not a troublesome and ex
pensive application, it could be only partial
in its effects.
In addition to those already montioned,
there are natural remedies one of which is
in a species of Platygastcr, an exceedingly
minute parasitic hymouopterous insect,
which appears to have been coeval with the
introductions of the “midge” into this
country.
1 ulso found several other insects upon
the green wheat, but notin any considerable
numbers; one of which was a species of
Phytocoris, a hemipterous insect—in both its
larva and mature states. This insect, ap
pears to be omnivorous in its habits, and is
found on nearly ail kiuds of green vegeta
tion, and continues as long as green vege
tation continues. This insect is nearly re
lated to tlio “chinch bug” which is so de
structive to the wheat crops in tho Western
States. Although it is known to be de
structive to young apple, pear and cherry
buds, in early Spring, ana Mr. Henderson,
of New York State, has in some manner
attempted to identify it with the cause of
tho “ potato-rot," still from the fact that it
is not a gregarious insect, and feeds upon
such a diversity of vegetation, I do not
think the wheat crop will ever suffer much
from Us presence, limited as it is.
I also found a small “black fly,” secreted
in the wheat heads, apparently belonging
to the family Muscidtu— only a few of them
however—and I think they were there more
to shelter themselves from the sun, or per
haps from an approaching rain, than for
any sinister purpose.
Dr. Gibbons sent me also u smull
brown clavicorn coleopterous insect, which
was supposed to have some connection with
the “red weevil,” but this is entirelya mis
take. The insect sent me was a specimen
of Synchita caliginosa Mels, a “ beetle,” be
longing to the family Colydiidcc , usually
found under the bark of dead trees, or in
fungi, or in the ground; the larviu living
upon decayed animal and vegetable matter,
but never on living vegetation. Sometimes
the mature insect may bo found upon vege
tation when it is in bloom, for the purpose
of feeding upon the pollen of the flowers.
Allow me to remark, in conclusion, that
the true red weevil —or rather the brown
weevil it ought to be called—is almost an
absolute myth in this latitude. Our “black
weevil ” or “ barn weevil,” is the Sitophilus
granuriaoi entomologists, and is most de
structive to wheat wheu it is housed. When
these insects first emerge from the pupa
state, they are of a light-brown color, but
soon turn black, nnd bonce these brown or
reddish specimens may have readily been
taken lbra different species and called the
“red-weevil.” The trv.e “red weevil” or
“brown weevil” is tbo Sitophilus oryzea of
Linn,, but in this country it is mainly con
fined to the rico crops of the Southern States.
Specimens are sometimes brought north
with the rice, and I have been in this wuy
enabled to'obtain specimens for my cabinet.
These mayfly abroad andcleposittheireggs
upon the mature wheat, as the barn weevil
does, for they are destructive to tho wheat
in both Europe and in the southern latitudes
of this country where wheat is raised; but
from tho fact that il is too cold for their full
and proper development so far north as
Pennsylvania, wenuednotnpprehend much
danger from them.
The “red Aphis”—.lp/iia arena—that
wus so dnmnglng to our out-erop a lew years
ago, was also called the rcd-ivccviL or onl
wccvil. This was uhomoptorous insect,differ
ing widely from weovils— ho that anything
of a reddish or brownish color, without regard
to the family or order of insects It belongs
tOjisconvenfently dubbed a weevil] and thus,
unless from personal observation, it is hard
to tell what particular Insect is usually
meant by “Red-weevil

Reading (iazette will servo to show how
well the beauties aud comforts of Liliz are
appreciated by our neighbors in old Berks:
The ILh at lAtiz,—' The good people of Litiz
have made preparations for celebrating tho
Fourth of July in tho unique and beautiful
stylo for which they are noted. No one
who has over witnessed ono of these inter
esting celebrations, und enjoyed the hospi
tality of our friends, the Lichtenthaelers,
who keep one of the finest hotels in the
country, will need any further persuasions
to induce them to repeat their visit to this
ancient Moravian town on tho npproachiug
National Anniversary. The brilliant il
lumination of the famous Litiz Spring and
the adjacent grounds,'which constitutes tho
chief teat uro of the occasion, is alone a sight
worth travelling a hundred miles to see.
The present arrangement of the passenger
trains on the Reacting and Columbia Rail
road, will afford every convenience to per
sons who desire to see how they keep the
Fourth at Litiz.
Pic Xic,Julynth,at Litiz.—
Methodist Episcopal Sunday School, 4th
street, lmvo deemed it wise und best, and
for tho sako of accommodating many per
sons who wish to accompany them, would
say—the Excursion to Litiz will take place
Wednesday. July 11th. The beautiful and
unsurpassed Park, with its many enter
tainments at Litiz, was secured last sum
mer for the use of this school. There will
be left no efforts untried to please all who
may wish to go with them. Rev. Mr.
Kampmun, the Moravian Pastor, Mr. Beck,
the omlnent teacher, and other gentlemen,
will speak.
Pic Aic to Litiz.—Tho Unlverßalist Sun
day School of this city, have made arrange
ments for n pic nlu excursion to Litiz on
Thursday, the 12th of July. Permission
has been obtained to occupy the beautiful
grounds adjacent to the celebrated Litiz
prings, ana as they expect to be accom
panied by a band of music, and a large
number of the parents and friends of the
school, a good and happy time may be
safely promised to all who participate.
Rev. L. L. Briggs and Rev. J. Shrigly,of
Philadelphia, are expected to be present on
the occasion.
Patent Riohts.— Mr. Anthony Iske,
as we before mentioned in our columns,

School Exhibition at Lrnz.—Wednes
day the 76th Annual F.xl?ihttion was given
by the Young Ladies of Linden Hall, Litiz
Springs. Daring,,the day time, there
was a display.of needlework, Ac., bat by far
the most important part of the day’s pro
ceedings was the musical entertainment in
the evening. The interior of the building
was prettily decorated with bouquets and
creeping plants. The platform was built over
the pews andof sufficient capacity to seat the
facultyand students. At the appointed
time, Professor Reiohel, the principal of the
school, made some few remarks, welcom
ing the visitors and assuring them that the
young ladies would do the best they could
to please all. The programme, which was
quite lengthy, was then gone through with.
It included selections from Mendelssohn,
Meyerbeer, Rossini, Bellini, Verdi and
other authors of note. It would be quite
impossiblefor us to give praise to all to whom
praise is due, and therefore we shall. only
mention the pleasure that we experienced
in listening to the juvenile chorus “Holiday
song,” which our young friends, the little
folks, did justice to.
Bishop Bigler addressed the assembly in
his usual happy strain, and paid a very
high compliment not only to the faculty
but the students.
If we could find word to express our sen-
timents, we would expatiate upon the
youth, beauty and lovliness of the young
ladies who graced the platform, but we are
conscious that the attempt would be a
failure, and therefore rest the subject "with
out a poetical quotation.
A visit to Litiz is at all times agreeable,
but when we meet so goodly a party of
friends from a distance, as we did yes
terday, it makes it the more pleasant.

The only way that we can account for the

icy which Is in direct conflict with the ob
jects of the war as set forth in the joint res

Terrible Destruction of Sheep.
The Late Storm In Ohio and Michigan—
Immense Lost From 30,000 to 50,000
Already Reported.
The recent severe storm on the Lake
shore, and the cold weather succeeding it,
have made sad havoc among the newly
sheared sheep in Northern Ohio and Mich
igan. The Detroit Post says that in the
northern portion of Macomb county, 20 per
cent, of all sheared were killed. In Dryden,
Lapeer county, 1,000 were killed.
In Huron county, Ohio, the number killed
is estimated at 12,000. The Sandusky Reg
ister says that, in the vicinity of Yermill
lion, at least three thousand, nave perished.
Some farmers lost from one hundred to one
hundred and fifty of their number. In Ber
lin township the number is estimated at
5,000.
The Ashland Union says: We understand
that a large number of Bheep were frozen to
death during the cold rains of Sunday and
Monday last. The loss is estimated at about
10,000.
The Tuscarawas Advocate estimates the
number in that county at from 1,500 to 2,000,
but some farmers place the number as high
as 3,000. All the sheep that perished were
without shelter.
The Oberlin News says: The value of
the sheep that perished in this county dur
ing the two days storm must be many
thousand dollars. Gentlemen, with good
opportunities for knowing the facts, esti
mate that from fifteen to twenty hundred
were lost in Pittsfield alone. Mr, Hum
phrey, of this township, lost 49 out of 112.
Mr. W. E. Wheat loses 50, Mr. Gillet as
many, Walter Freeman half his flock, and
so on from every direction from which we
have heard.
The Carrollton i Union Press says: We
have heard various reports as to the num
ber of sheep lost by individuals in this
vicinity during the late cold storm, but the
largest loss known to us is that of Mr.
Richard Baxter, of this township, who lost
78 head. Others in the vicinity lost from
six to ten and upward.
The Cleveland Plaindealer says: From
all accounts, the loss of Bheep by the recent
storms has been immense. Every flock,
whose fleeces have been shorn, and which
had insufficient shelter, has suffered
severely. We are informed by John Need
ham that the loss of sheep in the townships
of Independence and Brecksville will reach
3,000. From twenty to fifty died in almost
every flock, most of the sheep having been
shorn. One farmer attempted to rescue his
flock, but the water was so high ho could
not reach his team, and he flnully dragged
them into fence corners and covered them
with blankets. Out of fifty sheep, nearly
exhausted when found, the owner saved
about thirty by thus covering them.
Our correspondent in North Royalton, it
will be observed, states that the losses of
sheep in that township have been very
severe. The Elyria Democrat gives a
similar account of the effects of the storm In
that vicinity. It is probable that our im
portant wool-growing interest has received
such injury as will sensibly affect the com
munity.
The Painesvlllo (Lake county) Telegraph
says: The destruction of the newly shorn
sheep In this county Is immense. We hear
of several farmers who have lost from fifty
to one hundred sheep—having perished
from the severo cold. Indeed there is hardly
a sbeep-grower in this country but has lost
more or less sheep.
A correspondent from the town of Thomp
son says that the late cold storm has made
sad havoc among the recently sheared sheep,
and especially among the ewes. N. Mose-
Iv, Esq., lost one hundred or more; Mr.
Lafayette Warren & Brother, between 50
and 60; Mr. Augustus Tillotson, 13; and
many others more or less. It is estimated
by some that not less than 1,000 have died
in Thompson and vicinity, and a like num
ber in Middlefield, No doubt the loss
through this section <>f the country is im-
mense.
The Warren Chronicle says: We learn
that the storm was very severe on the sheep,
nearly every flock losing more or less. It
is estimated^by one of the most intelligent
wool growers that at least one thousand
sheep died from exposure to the storm in
this county.
The Akron Beacon (Summit county)
says: Almost every sheep grower in this
county has suffered more.or less,l the num
ber lost in this county alone reaching, un
doubtedly, many thousands.
Reports similar to the above are pouring
in from all the counties adjacent to tne lake.
The storm occurred in the midst of shear
ing time, just ufter many of the sheep had
been shorn of their fleeces, and when in no
condition to endure exposure to the severe
cold. Such as were not properly sheltered
perished by hundreds and thousands. This
is much to be regretted, as it affects one of
the important, if not vital, interests of
Northern Ohio.
Additional Particulars and Losses.
Reports from various counties adjacent
to the Lake, continue to come in showing
the terrible havoc among sheep by the late
storm and cold weather.
The Detroit Advertiser says: The cold
rain storm that began in this vicinity on
Sunday last and continued throughout
Monday, exteuded to about every part of
the State, and was of unprecedented sever
ity. It came at a time most unfortunate for
the sheep-growing interests of the State.
The sheep had very generally just been
shorn when the cold beating rain came,
and it is safe to say that thousands of them
have died from exposure. There is scarce
ly a letter from our correspondents—sta
tioned in all sections of the State—which
does not record the death of sheep from ex
posure to the storm. Someof the accounts,
which it is to be hoped may prove exugger
ated, are of a very serious nature. In the
aggregate, tho loss to the sheep-growers of
the Stute will bo heavy.
The Pontiac, Michigan, correspondent of
the Detroit Post says: Farmers from the
adjoining townships report that tho cold,
long-continued storm of last Sunday night
ana Monday killed large numbers of sheep
that had been recentlyshorn. Some single
farmers of Troy lost ns many as thirty to
forty. In tho vicinity of Rochester, we are
tola, thousands of sheep died from this
cause.
Tho Medina, Ohio, (razcttc, ways: Thn
farmers of Medina uotiuty have suffered
materially from tho loss of sheep from%he
cold weather on Saturday the lOtn ami 17th
inst. The loss with some farmers appears
frightful. One farmer in York lost 100, In
Shuron GO. in Chatham 80, in Guilford 50,
in Hinckley 1,100. H4nsdule, of Wuds
worth, considers his loss §l,OOO. From the
individual losses us above stated, and the
estimates from prominent men from tho
several townships, we think tho loss in tho
whole county tone not less than §lO,OOO.
We would suggest as a hygienic measure
tho burial of liio carcasses of ail Lho above
sheep.
Tho Ottaway county (Ohio} Xcws says:
Tho cold storm ofwlnci and rain which com
menced last Saturday evening, resultod
disastrously to sheep-growers. John Mc-
Kitohie, of Bay township, lost 40 ; R. Holms,
and Wm. Johnson, of rortago township, 15
eucb. Tho sheep had been sneared, turned
out. and were killed by tho severe cold to
which they were exposed. There are other
heavy losers throughout tho connty,
An Ashland (Ohio) correspondent of the
Cleveland Herald says: “The excessive
cold rains ofSunday and Monday, although
a benefit in one sense of the word, proved
rather injurious to sheared sheep. It is al
most impossible to form an estimate of the
loss throughout the county. But I have no
doubt the loss will reach twenty-four hun
dred, and will amount in value to some
where in tho neighborhood of $12,000.
The Wadsworth (Ohio) Enterprise says :
The cold rain last Monday was very hard on
sheep that had been rocontly shorn. It is
estimated that upwards of 6,000 perished in
Medina county alone. Among the heaviest
losers In this vicinity are the following: A.
Hindsdale, 40; tho most of them were choice
Vermont aheep, valued at at over $l,OOO. S.
Coplin, 60; Mr. Chandler, 00; M. Shank,
60; widow Culp, 65 ; Ed, Hollowell, 40;
Wm. Brouse, 40; Aaron Culp, 22; Aaron
Yoderand George Styre, 1 each; Wm. Free
born, 7; O. Beach, 0; Joseph Bolick also
lost quite a number, but we did not learn
how many. We havo heard of other losses,
but wore unable to learn the names of the
parties. Wo have Just been informed that
, many of tho sheep that died last Monday
remained unburied. This should not be
, permitted, os it may create a pestilence.
Clymer at Pittßburg.
The following extraot from a letter
dated Pittsburg, June, 26th, will give
the reader an idea of how Mr, Clymer
was received at that place:
“ Mr. Clymer was with us two dayß
last week and made a remarkably good
Impression among the people. The
German Bepubllcans are very sore, and
I think we will make very large gains
among them. At the same time Cly
mer’s addresß, gentlemanly bearing and
knowledge of business took by storm
every business man with whom he met.
He utterly disarmed many Republicans,
and captivated nearly all of them.”
Settled at Last.
A Dauphin county case has been set
tled by the Supreme Court sitting at
Wilkesbarre, in which a decision by
Judge Pearson has been reversed. The
cose is that of Tyson vs, the school di
rectors of Halifax township, Dauphin
county,
In this oase an association of oltizens
paid bounties to volunteers to fill their
quota, and afterwards obtained the pas
sage of an aot authorizing the school
directors to levy a tax and refund to
them the amount expended. The court
held there was no obligation on the de
fendants to assume and pay the debt.
The deoree of the court was reversed
and defendants were enjoined from col
lecting taxes to reimburse the bounty

A Speech ofValUndlcluun.
A few days since Mr. Vallandigham
made a speech at Columbus, Ohio, in
which he is reported to have said, in
speaking of the proposed amendments
to the Constitulion:
Understand me, I am not opposed to
these amendments simply because they are
amendments to the Constitution, although
I think, withthePresident, thatnoneshould
be made while eleven States are out. When;
ever all the States are again back in their
flaoes, there are some amendments which
will desire to see adopted.
1. We will want to guarantee the liberties
of the white man, by providing be may
stand here as Mr. Jewett has done, as I am
doing, and as Gen. Morgan will Boon do,
and talk to the people about their rights
without being arrested and thrust into a
hostile. [Cheers.]
2. I want an amendment that will pro
claim in terms even more directly, that no
President can ever suspend tne habeas
corpus, and that the writ can never be
susnended by the President or Congress
except in the particular spot where Judicial
process is overthrown.
3. I want an amendment that will forever
crush under foot—aye, with an iron heel—
that execrable doctrine, born of the late des
potism, that there is a war power higher
than the Constitution, and that all the Pres
ident ha* to do to become a worse despot
than th© Czar of Russia, is to get up a war
with one of the States, or with some foreign
Power. That damnable doctrine I want to
be made so damnable that the leprosy of sin
and damnation will cling around it forever.
[Great cheers.]
WOULD CURTAIL NEW ENGLAND.
There is another amendment I should
want to propose, as an humble citizen, If I
never get beyond that. Who are your Con
stitution tinkers? They are from If ew Eng
land ; your Sumners and your Wilsons, and
all that class; and that other class of mean
est Yankees yet, your Western Yankees in
Congress, who legislate for the benefit of
New England, and neglect the interests of
their own constituents. We have some of
that sort in Ohio, and not far from this dis
trict. If we are to have alterations in the
Constitution when all the States have been
restored, then is this to be submitted.
Ohio has three millions of people. Far
off in the Northeast, over the Darren hills
and sea-girt coast, lie those little States, not
much larger, all together, than the State of
Ohio—Rhode Island, very much after the
fashion of Delaware, which old Major Noah
in olden times said be could put In his
breeches pocket—it ought to De put in
somebody f B pocket, for that old tyrant that
domineered neie for three years is now
Governor there—l mean Burnside; Con
necticut, New Hampshire—six of these
States, two hundred years old, have only
three millions of people, many Sen
ators have they got ? Six. Howmauyhaa
Ohio? Two—and such Senators; pardon
me. [Luughter.] lam not sure they ought
not to bo reckoned to New England. I
Judge so from their votes on tariffquestlons
ana similar measures. Three millions of
Yankees exercise six times the power in
the Senate Chamber that the same number
of citizens in Ohio exercise. That is equality
for you. And yet thoy must needs change
the basis of representation, iu order to force
negro equality on tho South. It is not be
cause ot changing the Constitution that I
oppose these amendments; because the
time must come when other amendments
will be demanded, and one of them will be
to reduce New England td two Senators or
at most four.
Mind, I would prefer to take the Consti
tution just as our fathers made it. It was
good enough for them, and under it we
have prospered as no nation ever did be
fore. And I warn New England to beware,
lest dominion and power, like riches, may
take unto themaelves wings and fly away.
The Secretary of the Treasury is now
engaged in preparing his report for the
fiscal year ending June 30, and as many
reports are yet to be received from dif
ferent points, the issue of the regular
monthly statement of the public debt
for June, 1866, will be suspended. The
result of the financial operations of the
Treasury during the last month, how
ever, will show a diminution of the
national debt to the amount of between
ten and fifteen millions.

A NEW AND GRAND EPOCH IN MEDICINE!
Dr. Magglel is the founder of a new Medical System!
The quantitarlans, whose vast Internal doses enfeeble
the stomach and paralyze the bowels, must give pre
cedence to the man who health and appetite,
with from one to two of his extraordinary Pills, and
cures the most virulent Bores with a box or so of his
wonderful and all-healing Salve. These two great
specifics of the Doctor are fast superseding all the
stereotyped nostrums of the day. Extraordinary cures
by Mogglel's Pills and Salve have opened the eyes of
the public to the inefficiency of the (so called) remedies
of others, and upon which people have so long blindly
depended. Maggiel's pills are not of tho class that
are swallowed by the dozen, and of which every box
ful token creates an absolute necessity fbr another,
One or two of Mogglel's Pills suffices to place tho
bowels in perfect order, tone the stomach, creato an
appetite, and render the spirits light and buoyant 1
There Is no griping, and no reaction In the form of
constipation. If the liver Is affected, its functions are
restored; and If the nervous system Is feeble, it Is In
vigorated. This feat quality makes the medicines very
desirable for the wants of delicate females. Ulcerous
and eruptive diseases are literally extinguished by the
disinfectant power of Mogglel's Halve. In fact, It is
here announced that Mogglel's Bilious, Dyßpeptlcand
Diarrhea Pills cure where all others full, While for
Burns, Scalds, Chilblains, Cuts and ull abrasions of
