pal school Commencement.— The 14th Annual Commencement of the High Sohool took place on Friday, at Fulton Hall in the presence of a crowded and in terested audience. From the walls of the Hall were suspended a number of very fine crayon sketches, the work of the gradu ating class. At 9 o’clock precisely the ex ercises commenced. The following was the programme: Prayer—Rev. Walter Powell. ' Chant. Report ol the Examinations of the High and Secondary Schools, by W. R. Wilson, Esq., as follows: v . Divided by grades, Into High, Secondaries and Primaries, in all 25. Two High Schools, one for each sex; four Secondaries, and 19 Primaries, 8 of which are now combined, and 11 single. The greater portion or the latter are being changed into the former. There is also one school without grade for the education of obildren of color. These schools employ 51 teachers, 4 mjles and 47 femaleß—2 in each of the High Bin each of th© Secondaries, one in each of the Sing Primaries, and three in each of the Com bined 2,584 children have been taught in these schools during the year ending with the first Monday in June last. The expen diture incurred for educational purposes for the Riime period, appears to have been $19,- f,9G 99, thereby fixing the average cost ol each pupil at $7.14, and at a cost to eachot the 4 750 taxable inhabitants of the city of M ii‘ These figures are given to show the public the true state of the subject mutter, considered in a pecuniary point of view. Thequestlon may bo fairly asked, whether a system or machinery of public instruc tion that supplies the educational wants of a city like ours, and which starts u pupil with the alphabet, carries him through all the grades, covering a period often or eleven years,and leavesofi in the possession of good academic acquirements, and at an average cost of less than two dollars a quarter, can justly be charged with extravagance? The 'increased taxation for the year we have now entered, is mainly required for the purchase of ground and the buildimr and alteration of school houses, which is money not spent but invested. The want ol room has long been felt, and created the necessity of forcing scholars from lower schools where they should not have been kept for a longer period, to schools of a higher grade, where they should not have been admitted, for want oft he necessary qualifications as fixed by the rules and curriculum of studies. This difficulty will, it Is hoped, be obvia ted by the creation of more schoolroom, now in progress of construction. Itwillboread ily seen, however, that the enforcement of this rule on the first occasion, creates the natural impression that since there are not the same numbor of transfers, and gradu ates, that the schools have fallen hack, in stead of advanced. Such is not the case; the pressure having ended, tho Board feel that it should enforce thostandurd required, and make them bettor scholars in the end. The following are the graduates of the Female High School, viz: Kate Lutz, Mary Musselman, Clufa B. llubor, Sullio Wea ver, Clara Licbty, Amelia Shenok, Louisa Unklu, Mary Scbeiyenbrand, Emily Al bright, Rebecca. Holbrook, and Matilda Conroy, at an uvoruge standard of 87 8-11 percentage. The studios pursued In this school are, Geomeirv, History, Rhetoric, French, (optional), Natural Philosophy. Moral Science, Arithmetic, both Practical and Mental, Spoiling, Drawing and Pen manship. For reasons already foreshadowed, there ,uro no graduates this Commencement in the Male High School. It is believed tho cluss stand us well us tho sumo class did last yuur, and tho Board commend tho young gentle men for remaining and strivlngfora higher standard of scholarship than their predeces sors. Of tho 11 graduates in the Female High School, a great portion havo been elected to positions as teachers, by which fact the Board showed Us appreciation of tho valuo of the school, as well as the in dividual worth of tho graduates ; the High Schools have, as it wore, become the educa tional reservoirs from which are being sup plied, mainly, the teaching force of our primary schools, winch fact should speak well in their favor. The following are the transferees from Mr. Riddle’s Secondary School, into tho High School: Joseph Carpenter, Keub Frazer. George Edwards, william Hewett and Thomas Deen. 1 The following, from Mr. Ruth’s Second ary : George W. Forrest, Christian Gast, Jacob Adams, William Cooper, Algernon McKoown, Melvin Hubley and Robert Knthvon. Transfers from Miss Andrews’ Secondary School to Female High School—Annie Ar nold, Amelia Fleetwood, Bell Guthrie, Em ma Hinkle, Mary Russel, Sue Rupley. Transfers from Miss Markee’s Secondary School into Female High School—Christie Yeislov, Emma Miller, Clara Dietrich, Amanda Hibshmnn, Sue Fisher, Ellie Johnston, Emma Suydam, Emma Kline, Annie Corcoran, Laura Hubley. In looking over the reports of examina tions of primary schools, the results in the main appear highly satisfactory, standing in advance of the corresponding classes last year. The following Is tho average per contage of classes transferred—Mr. Kiddie's Male Secondary, HI; Mr. Ruth, Malo Secondary, 85; Miss Andrews, Female Secondary, 70 ; MisH Markeo, Female Secondary, 75; Miss Harriet Zug, Primary, 93; Miss Eby, Pri mary, 92; Miss Goldner,Primary,Bo; Miss Pinkerton, Primary, (10; Miss Yeisley, Pri mary, 00; MlssStrlcklor, Primary,49; Miss Ettor, Primary Combined, 07: Miss Anna Bundel, Primary Combined, 92; Miss Wiley,Primary Combined, 80; Miss Sprung or, Primary Combined, 00; Miss Atkinson, Single Primary, 80.

Brinlon, Esq., President of the Board of Directors, to the members of the Fourteenth Graduating Class of the High School, which consists entirely of ladies: Young Ladiks : It now becomes my duty to address you a few parting words. We have met hero to-day on a very interesting occasion, and! it will ever bo to you a mem orable one. I congratulate you upon the advent of this commencement day, to which, doubtless, you have looked forward with feelings of mingled pleasure nnd con cern. Years ago, when you entered our High School, this auspicious clay seemed very distant In the dim, uncertain future. When you scanned the formidable curricu lum of studios prescribed for you by the Board of Directors; when you contem plated the arduous labor before you, the paths of learning and science uppeared jugged and dllilcult to traverse, ana your youthful minds almost recoiled at the task. But by the assistance of kind and compe tent teachers, by a tlrm purpose, by an un tiring industry and attentive study, you have accomplished the work assigned you. and arrived at the goal of your youthful ambition. After years of toil and anxious thought, you have passed a thorough and satisfactory examination in all the studies of the prescribed course; and you present ourselves on this occasion to receive the lerlted prize, u diploma, as a testimonial of good deportment and scholarship. But now, young ladles, thoscenecbanges, and the punorama of life moves on. To-day, you sever the ties and pleasant associations of pupilage, and the real battle ot life be gins. Your class, which bos been bound together by the ties of a literary sisterhood, bids adieu to olassic halls and separates, probably, forever. With a thousand pleas ant memories of school-girl days, you enter now upon the thresbhold of a new and a more aotive life, and tho impenetrable fu ture lies before you. Tho supervision which iho Board of Directors have exercised over vou as pupils of our Common Bchools is about to terminate; but after the careful .attention they have bestowed upon your .education, they cannot be indifferent to your success and prosperity in life. You have stored your minds with valuable knowledge, nnd huve acquired many uso »ful and practical attainments. You have laid au enauring foundation, nnd, ns tho architects of your own fortune, tho work ,of erecting u proper superstructure will de volve mainly upon you. You will, there fore, permit mo to suggest, “that the safest .passport to future success and happiness, is a lliS of integrity, truth uud piety, nourish ed und susUunou by correot hublts of in dustry*” With tho precepts of Iloly Writ for your Buidoneo, with* tlrm rollnnoo on Divine Provldonoo for BMistenco und promotion, wo send you forthwith oultlvntod mind*, with accomplished attainments, with hublts of oxomolury doportraont nnd oommondu- Wo induitryrtn short, with substantial aunli ffilon* tlit should insure you brilliant suocosb in tho honorable avocations and po sitions of female life. ~ In other countries and In .other times, tbo tutions of learning and sdenoAtiiere are no bounds prescribed for genitAFthere no royal and exclusive path to 14&ndiig) honor and distinction. > _ . "Honor and shame from no condition me; Act well your part, there all the honor lies. Then it may be said that here the road to fame lies comparatively open to all who have the ability and energy to follow it. True it has not been accorded to woman that her eloquence shall be heard in the forum and in legislative halls; that she shall join in the political broils and contro versies of the hustings; nor that her word of command shall marshal armies in con flict on the field of battle. Neither are these privileges desirable for your sex. for true, womanly modesty naturally shrinks from such masculine duties. But even amidst the desolating scenes of war, the sympa thetic and kind heart of a Florence Night ingale sought a holy and appropriate mis sion to alleviate the suffering of brave war riors. And, recently, when “grim-visaged war ” stalked forth and swept over a large portion of our fair land like a desolation, many true and courageous women repaired to the military hospital, to minister to the wants of sick and wounded soldiers. Still others, more venturesome and ardent in the cause of humanity, rushed to “ the tented field,” and amid the clash of arms, the thunder of artillery and scenes of fear ful carnage, bound up the wounds of gal lant men; and, like ministering angels, pointed with soothing words the departing soul of the dying patriot to the realms of peace. , Happily that conflict is over, and these stern duties are not required oi you.— But more peaceful and congenial employ ments will claim your attention. Eight of you having passed examination and. re ceived certificates from the County Super intendent, which make you eligible as Instructors in our public schools, have ex pressed a desire to exchange the position of pupil for thut of teacher. This is a responsi ble and honorable calling, and you should be commended for the selection you have made. By judicious legislation, by the munificent provisions ot the State and the donations of liberal citizens, by tflejzealous efforts of talented men, the standard of education Ims been greatly advanced of late and now the avocation of instructing and’ disciplining the immortal mind ot youth properly runks with the learned professions. But whatever honorable calling you may pursue, wherever your lot may be cast, I feel confident that you will merit the esteem and confidence of the wise and the good. I hope you may fill high and honorable positions in society, and achieve a brilliant success in the high des- tiny of your sex, that will reflect honor upon tho High School, of which you are about to become graduates. In concluding my re marks, young ladies, permit me to tender you the best wishes of the Board of Directors, thut you may realize your fondest expecta tions ; and to invoke for you, in this life, the choicest blessings of the Great Giver of all (food, and, hereafter, a blissful immor tality. And now, ladies, tho Directors of the Com mon Schools of the City of Lancaster, by virtue of tho authority vested in them, have directed me to present to you this Diploma in token of your good conduct and charac ter as pupils, and of your proficiency in the brunches of learning prescribed for your instruction. On tboconclusion eloquent address, which was heartily applauded, a song, “Work, for the Night is Coming,” was sung, and the benediction was pro nounced by theßt. Rev. David Bigler. The. young ladies of Lhe graduating class acquitted themselves with great credit, und the hearty applause and showers of bouquets told how much their efforts were appreciated. The following aro tho names of the gradu ates : Kuto Lutz, Sullio E. Weaver, Mary M. Musselmuu, Amelia J. Shenok, Clara B. llubor, Clara Llchty, Emma L. Unkloi Emmie T. Albright, E. Matilda Conroy, Mary Seheuronbrand, Rebecca S. Holbrook. There were no graduates from tho Mule Department of tho High School. Tho young gentlemen who were to have graduated pre- ferred to remain another year within the classic walls of our venerable High School building. A very wise and commendable action on their part. Geiiman Mass Meeting.—A Mass Meet- ing of our German fellow-citizens was held on Thursday at Fulton Hall. The meeting was called under the auspices of the asso ciation of tho German Press of Pennsyl vania, which held its annual session here yesterday. Rev. Mr.Probst, of Allentown, presided, and addresses were delivered by Rev. Mr. Probst, Mr. Trexler, one of the editors of the Repwblikaner of Allentown, and Rev. Mr. Hoppe, of this city. The purity of the German language, to make the German element felt in the social and political circle, the education of the German, and tho establishment of German schools wore the principal topics dwelt upon. Mr, R. A. Baer, of the Volks/rcund , offered n resolution that the meeting take measures to confer with the School Board in reference to the introduction of the German language in tho Commou schools. A committee of eighteen were appointed. Tho exercises were interspersed with some choice songs,by tho Mainunrchor. The meeting was large ly attended and proved a greatj success throughout. Our Gorman editorial frlonds have left highly plousod with our city, and tho hos pitality ot Its citizens. The Fame ok Mishleii's Bitters.—Wo huvo frequently chronicled the success of MiHhlor’s Bitters, and thoir widely-extended rume, but until this morning were utterly unaware of their groat celebrity, and doubt less would have roinained ignorant liad it not been for a colloquy which took place betwoen Jimmy Lechler, one of the Dr.’s gentlemanly clerks, and a rural lady, who repaired to the Laboratory to have some pains to “which human flesh is heir” re moved. The colloquy which ensued best tells its own story of the rapidly-spreading fame ofMishler’s Bitters. Place—Mishler’s Laboratory. Time—7 A. M, Characters—the Bural Lady, Mr. Lechler, aud our reporter. The ludy com plained ofsevere pains, and thereupon tho conversation enßued. Lady —This is Mishler’s place. Jimmy—Yes, Madam. A.—Well, I have such a pain. Maybe you can do something for mo. J.— Take a Beat, Madam. I will give you a glass of the Bitters. Perhaps they will rellovo you. The glass was given her and she drank its contents. Immediately after she said she felt much better, whereupon the con versation was renewed. L.— You must Bell a heap of these Bltters. J.— Yes, a great quantity. L.—l guess you send them away a good piece. /.—Oh, yes, ma'am. We send all over Pennsylvania, to many parts of the United States, and indeed even to England and A.—Yes, I thought so, because I heard oi them away down at Port Deposit. At this point a quiet Bmile overspread the features of Jimmy, and the lady left, well satisfied with her interrogatories and the answers. The point of tho joke will be relished when we inform our distant read ers that Port Deposit is only 85 miles south of Lancaster. This lady haß studied the geography of her country to some advan tage. “ Where Ignorance Is bliss ’tis lolly to be wise.” Acoiuent. —A boy named Feather, from Beading, was injured on the Beading and Columbia Bailroad on Thursday evening Inst. He,was returning in company with tho Pic Nio excursionists from Lltlz, and while the cars were in motion put his head out of the window. The car struok the bridge and the boy was knocked off, Injuring him seriously but not fatally. He was taken home in the same train.

At 8 o’clock the meeting was called to ordor.— After the reading of the minutes of tho last meeting, the Committee" on Arrangements for proceeding to tho Beading Convention reported, that ovory arrangement had been completed; that tho fare to and from Bead ing would be $1.50 i badges and banners and music had been procured, and suggested that those of the members who desired to participate in the excursion should meet at six o'clock on Wednesday morning, at tho Club Boom, for the purpose of proceeding in procession to tho Beading Bailroad ter minus at Dillerville. The report and sug gestions were adopted 1 . The committee of three from the Vigi lance Committee authorized to fill the va cancies occurring in thoir body, from that Ward, stated that they had not, as yet, had time to report. The Cbuirman from the Committee on memoralizing Congress with reference to the equalization of bounties reported tho following as the result of their labors: To the Honorable the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States in Congress assembled : The undersigned honorably discharged Soldiers and Seamen of the Army und Navy of the United States, and now asso ciated ns the Johnson and Clymer Soldiers’ and Sailors' Club of Lancaster city, re spectfully represent: That theiordeal of fire to which our coun try, this holy and beautiful house of our fathers, was subjected has been passed.— The Army and Navy, after winning tho ap plause of nations, have done their part to repel the bayonets of treason. Its banners have been humbled—its pride overthrown. The authority of the Constitution, the su preme law of the land is now unquestioned by those whose armies lately assailed it.— The people havedoubly earned the preroga tives of a strong and independent nation ality, and to the peaceful decision of the ballot-box, forum and cabinet now belong Its elevation to the high places of its power and dignity. But this result so glorious—this prospect so grand has been achieved by compara tively but a small portion of the people. But a few shook bloody hands with death and dared the perilous fortunes of the field and waves. These,the collective nation should hold in imperishable honor, and upon them lavish its largest rewards. They saved the nation in its most exigent crisis —its honor is their achievement—its life is peculiarly their gift. To the dead soldlerß of the nation should be accorded the jmeed of imperishable re membrance. The brave sleep well, when every fireside becomes vocal with their praises, when the peace and security of every hearthstone is monumental of their V< Tothe living not only grateful plaudits or the nation, and tho cold charity of its best services should bo accorded, but its largest practical beneficonco. This we would respectfully yet earnestly demand at your hands for our former comrades. The discriminating injustice whioh has continued, to visit the more laggard with pecuniary reward and to repelthe super ior claims of those who in obedience only to voluntary impulses bore the burden and heat of the day,—who Bought every oltudel of treason and placed our fathers’ flag over every pinnacle of rebellion, contrast how strungely with their brilliant Bervloes and patriotic devotion, These services, too. wo noed not remind your honorable bodies, have boon but poorly repaid when compar ed with the rupld aggrandizement of tho stay at homo loyalty of tho last few years. With evott evidence of afliuonco around them, are lmmodluto fruits of the gigantic Inflations conscqnunt upon the wur, tkoro must now bo a life of redoubled toil fitted in a doubtful contest against tho hurdshlps of tho times, In mitigation of those severities wo pray your honorable bodlos to devote if but hu hour to tho consideration of the claims of thoso who have morlted your kindliest offloos. The passage of tho Bill for the equalization of bounties now before your honorable bodies, asaurodly, 1b buta paltry boon for years or patient toil, and unremit lng hardships, In the field, on the marohes, in the trenches, or in the lqathsome prisons of the South, The oountry can afford to be generous to its benefactors.

The Speeches at the Meeting of the tieary Club. According to call the soldiers and citi zens of Lancaster who favor the election of Geary assembled in Fulton Hall on Satur day evening. The night was warm. This we suppose may partially account for the slim gathering. The Hall was not one-third full. After some stirring music from the band Captain W. W. Nevin and another gentle' man rose from the audience and marched upon the stage. The Captain proceeded to business at once by readiug the origiual call. Having done this he unrolled it with a dramatic flourish, crying out “there it is.” Some friend in the audience moved that Captain W. W. Nevin be elected tem porary Chairman. The Captain put the motion, declared it curried and proceeded to speak his little piece. A poor little piece it turned out to be. After some vaiu glori ous boasting and a good deal of palaver about the beginning of tho rebellion the speaker proceded to pitch into the Democ racy in general, and into Hlester Clymer in particular. Having no truthful ground for accusing either ho resorted to prevarica tion and downright falsehood. We do not know whether he was aware lhat he was doing so or not, but when he asserted thut Hlester Clymer voted against increasing the pay of the soldiers and against allowing them to vote he told what was not true. He did noithor. On the contrary ho voted to instruct Congress to make their pay in greenbacks equivalent to gold, while every Republican voted against it, und he voted for the bill allowing the soldiers to vote when it was passed. If the gentleman will examine the Legislative Record he will find that he has uttered what is not true. Cap tain Nevin never alluded to the great ques- tions of the day except to discuss what he called “equal rights” for a moment. All he had to say on that question he had evi dently borrowed from a weak editorial which appeared in the Express a few eve nings before. Without having made a single strong point in a speech of half an hour he subsided. Some temporary Secretaries and Vice Presidents were now elected and invited to the stage. General J. W. Fisher was then introduced by Captain Nevin. The General com menced by remarking that no great State issues were involved in.the present canvass. After such an assertion as that we were pre pared for almost anything, even for the an nouncement that Clymer was making a speech in the Legislature against Andrew Johnson while Geary wus governing Sa vanuah. The only approach to a discus sion of any of tho issues of the day made by General Fisher was to bo found in his highly wrought eulogy of tho negro. Ho got Geary clear above tho clouds and had him wreathing his brow with the thunders of imperial Jove and wearing garlands of tho lightning’s sportive twist, but it was only when ho got to tho negro that tho Gen eral grew truly oloquont, Wo expocted him to announce himself squarely in favor of negro suffrage, but instead thereof ho appealed to tho uudionce to proveut Hlester Clymor from remanding every freedman buck into slavery. Such was the lame uud impotent conclusion of his speech. After tho General had exhausted his gas. a moliou was adopted that a committee of five bo appointed to select officers for the permanent organization of the Club, said’ committee to be appointed by Captain W. W. Nevin. Considering that it had not been long since tho Captain waa a bloody Breckinridge Democrat, we coneluded]ke is getting along swimmingly among his party friends. We hope he may be successful in making ja good thing out of this soldier business. Captain Nevin next introduced Colonel Bear. The Colonel waa especially severe on rebels and locofocos. He wanted all the former hung and all the latter forever dis franchised. Wo don’t think the Colonel can be accommodated. The next speaker wua Adjutant Beiuoehl. This young man goes it on tho spread eagle style of oratory to a degree that Is quite dis tressing. Speaking of Clymer he deolared he would pass him by in silent contempt. We feel that wo could not better express our opinion of the speaker than by treating him in the same way. He said nothing worth noticing. We do not know how the soldiers and citizens present may have relished the en tertainment to which they were invited.— We are sure no sensible man could have been satisfied with tho tenor and temper of the speeches. They were not calculated to advance tho Interests of the candidate in whose behalf they were made. The re turned soldiers and tho mass of tho people of Pennsylvania are seriously pondering the great Issues of the day, and they will not take mere bald assertions for truth, or be influenced by bitter appeals to their pas sions and prejudices. They will hear both sides and will vote intelligently. PosTPONEMENT.-The great gift distribution of the Union Steam Fire Engine Co., No, 1, o f this city has been postponed untill Mon day, August 6th, 1866, when it will take place without fail. Several reasons are assigned for this, moßt prominent of whioh is the in sufficient number of tickets sold. It was also impossible to secure a settlement with all the agents in time to distribute the gifts on Monday next. It is to be hoped our citi- zens will at once invest, as the purpose 1b a good one—solely for tho benefit of the fire men who will be first to protect them in time of danger.

Up in the Mountains, 1 June 23,1886. j Ho, for Blackwater! That was the sound which roused us from a pleasant dream. Looking up we saw our fat friend, Duncan, rubbing his eyes' with a resolute look that indicated action. It was just the gray of dawn, but we had resolved to start early. By the time breakfast was ready, we had aU our traps packed up. We enjoyed ou r meal the more because we knew we would have to put up with rough cookery during our stay in the woods. Our guide break- lasted with us. He was a stout, well built man, with a face that denoted a persevering nature. He stammered somewhat in speak- iDg. Perhaps this may account partly for his truthfulness. In all our intercourse with him we found thar there was not the slightest disposition to exaggerate anything. He told us some rather remarkable stories about the region we were going to visit, but we found them all fully realized. He was equipped in a pair of corduroy pants and blue blouse, while on his head ;he wore a brown slouch, which be assured us had served him as a hat by day and a night cap to sleep In during more than three years service in the Union army ; yet it was still a respectable looking hat. Over hiq shoulder was slung a long hunting rifle, which carried a half-ounce ball. It was well worn, but as trusty as a weapon could be. In an old-fashioned wolf-skin o shot pouch, over which was suspended a large powder horn, he earned a huge hunting knife. Behind him, with an eager look and an occasional caper and half-suppressed yelp of delight, a nondescript yellowish or brindle dog, answering to the name of Watch, followed his every footstep. Tbfe team was a little late coming, but it finally made its appearance. A good stout pair ol b: lay horses were harnessed to a substantial spring wagon without cover, but with three seats, which accommodated six of us com fortably. At last we were off for the Black- For some six miles our route lay through a thinly settled section of country. Much of the land was cleared, however, and rye was the principal grain cultivated. Here and there was a held of oats, but we only saw one or two small patches of wheat. Corn will not grow here, as it is not an un common thing to have frost every mouth in the year. The main dependence of the farmers of this mountain plateau is upon the pasturage, and we saw everywhere fine, large, sleek cattle browsing on the fresh and succulent grass which grew in profusion wherever the. trees had been “deadened,” or cut down. The general process is what is termed “deadening.” In the Spring of the year the bark is cut through with an axe in two different rings near the butt of the tree and about two feet apart. This causes the trees to die. They may put out a lew sickly looking leaves, but with the heat of tho Summer these wither and by Winter tliotreesure alldead. It is a dreary sight to see from twenty to fifty ucres of tine timber thus rudely de stroyed. There stand the monarchs of the forest all leafless uud bare. The smaller twigs soon drop off and before three years have passed most of the larger branches have rotted down to mere slumps which stand out in grim stiffness from the main trunk. One by one the trees decay and fall. They are then periodically gathered into heaps and burned. Grass seed sown on the soil thus opened to the sun springs up and produces a most abundant crop of pasturage, of a quality which can nowhere be excelled. The meadows of this mountain table land, both natural and artificial, are its main agricultural features. After traveling some six or seven miles over roads that were not bad, we came to what is known as the Northwestern Turn pike, which was laid out years ago from Romney to Parkersburg. Since the war it has not been kept in repair and no toll is collected on it. We struck it just at the foot of what is known as the Backbone of the Alleghenies. The ascent is some two miles by the pike, but there was a near cut bv which a point on our route, three miles distant by wagon, could be reached by walking a mile. All the party except the driver and myself took it afoot up the ne&r path. A sore toe was our excuse ior riding. Our guide described to us the retreat of General Garnett's forces over this pike after their defeat by McClellan, but we need not repeat his account. On reaching the top of the Backbone our route lay along the top for a mile, over a rough rond which was evidently very little travelled. Picking up tho balance of our purty we commenced the descent, hut had not gone far until we came to a tree which had fullen across the road. We had an axe with us aud in a few minutes the Impedi ment was removed. Tho top of the moun tain and tho wostorn aide had lately been burned over. Tho dense growth of bushes and undergrowth had been killed by the ftre. There the more hardy of them stood scorched and leafless, but from tho charred soil the grass wus springing up,aud mingling with it many a wild dower, while from thu roots of the blasted shrubs new shoots were thickly putting out. As we returned our guide confessed that he had started the tire himself because ho thought it needed burn- ing, aud, principally as we suspect, be cause he expected to get a shot at a deer here occasionally during the fall and winter, as ho passed to aud from the principal bunting ground which lay beyond us. After a woods has thus been burned not only cattle but deer resort to It from miles nround to feed. In the early morning or late in tho evening the antlered herds pas ture here on the fresh herbage for an hour or two, and having sated their appetites slip quietly bank into the thickets where they spend most of the time In ruminative repose. Our guide assured us that he could kill a deer on this burned tract almost any morning or evening, and wo believe him. After cutting a few more logs out of the way and lifting our wagon over several, which were so large thnt to have cut them would have delayed us seriously, we man aged to’reach the foot of the Backbone of the Alleghenies on the western side. Passing over one or two clearings with their primitive dwellings, we soon plunged into tho dark re cesses of a hemlock forest. Tho shade grow more dense, until at longth tho rays of the sun wore almost entirely oxcluded, and tall towering trees stood so close together that the interlapping branches formed a com plete canopy above. Looking up to the sky we could only oatch sight of little Irregular patches of blue through the dense feathery foliage wbtoh swayed gently In the summer wind. Below there was little under growth. None of the ordinary mountain shrubs and bußbes are found here, and the whole surface of the ground with every rook and decaying log is covered with a carpet ing of soft green moss several incheß deep. Ferns of wonderful beauty and far more than ordinary Bize, spring out of the moist soil and flourish in the damp cool at mosphere whioh pervades these wilderness fastnesses. This was the wildest bit of forest scenery any of our party had ever looked upon, and many and varied were the utterances of delight with whioh wegreet ed It. Our guide astonished us by. quietly remarkingthatthiswßß nothing to what we would see. We looked at him lncreduous ly, but afterwards found he was only telling the simple truth as was usual with him. Query ? Is an impediment in speech con ducive to truthfulness? Our wagon road had become so bad now that all except two of us were trudging along on foot. The jolting over rooks and hemlock roots, and in and out of deep ruts, which are easily out in this ever damp soil, made riding anything but comfortable, but we were saving our strength for the tramp ing whioh mußt necessarily begin at tho end of a mile or so. We gazed about with keen enjoymont, inhaling the air so fra grant with that dolloious resinous odor which is peculiar to cool shady spots bo noath towering pines. Tho Jolting of tho wagon only served tho moro completely to empty our lungs, and with ovory rosplru tlon wo drow in doopor draughts of tho , balmy atmosphoro. Thoro was a lift) and n Joy in thll.wlldscono, whioh ho who has not thus stood faoo to face with nature in bor ; ruder aspoots, can nevor know. Tho heart is elate wltii a pleasurablo bxoitoment, and we could shout and sing. Dome nature is the kindest mother stUl. Though ever changing, in her aspeot mild. ’ The words of the poet oo»e unbidden to , our lips, wo commence to repeat them ' aloud) when a ruder jolt than usual and a sharp struggle of our horses is followed by a sudden plunge, which precipitates us for ward, almost pitching us headlong out of the wagon. As it was, the driver was dragged from his seat and our team leisure ly walked off with the front carriage of the wdgon. Here was an end of our delicious reveries. There is not a blacksmith within ten miles* How are we to get on—how to get back ? These were serious practical questions. Fortunately we discovered, on examination, that the coupling piu had broken at a point which left enough to hold the machine together with the help of some straps. We managed to get safely over the balance of the road, now but short, to a house inhabited by one Conley. We were now to have some experience in the primitive method of traveling with pack horses. Owing to somebody’s neglect no saddles had been brought with us and we had found it impossible to borrow any at the few scattered bouses along the road. We had a pair of Egyptian saddle-bags of capacious dimensions in which most of our clothes and a multitudeof other things were packed, two large sacks, one containing our provisions, ifcc., and the other oats for our horses, our creels well stuffed with va rious things, an eight-pound kettle of but ter, our rods, a tin can with red worms in moss, and, as they say on saie-biils, many other articles too numerous to mention. Of course most of these things had to be packed on tho horses, or on the two who rode them time about. The reader can readily im agine that horseback riding under such circumstances was not the most pleasant means of progression, and if he have a lively fancy will readily picture to himself the figure cut by the equestrian. Wo would like to have a photograph of the group as we loft behind us what was, with one ex- ception, tho last trace of civilization, and struck boldly out into a forest which, with the exception of the single trail we were following, was completely pathless. We had not tho slightest idea of the existence of such a region of country where we found it. Along the head waters of the North Branch of the Potomac it extends for many miles on both sides, as also along the Blackwater, the main tributary of Cheat river. This wilderness region which we traversed embraces a portion of Alleghany county in Maryland and portions of Tucker and Hardy counties in Virginia. It extends in almost uubroken solitude for many miles. An hour's tramp, during which we made a progress of not quite two miles, brought us to the bank of the Potomac, dwindled down here toa mere mountain brook which brawls along over a rocky bottom, under the cool shade of huge trees whose branches reaching out from either side interlap above it. You step across it on a fallen log,out of Maryland into the. State of Virginia. On the Virginia shore we determined to lunch. Our bill of fare wub not extensive. We had crackers, buiter and delicious mountain water from u clear cold spring that burst from the bank just at the edge ot tho river. If we had anything stronger to drink the reader may bo sure it was not very plenti ful when he remembers that there wore six of us to share it, or five wilhoutourclerical friend, and that we had cut down our allow- ance of every tiling to the narrowest mar gin. Some one proposed buildiug a fire and broiling some pork. “Eat it raw,” said Solomon the guide, and he straightway pro ceeded to put his advice iuto practice. It was fat, middling, very fat, but it was white, and firm. It looked as if it might be pala tnble, but then, we thought of trichinosa spiralis. We suggested the disagreeable idea to the party. Solomon laughed and assured us that in the army 1 he eat it raw as often as cooked. We looked at it again, Trichina or no we would taste it for the first time in our file. It was not offensive, nay, as we masticated it with crackers, we found it to be not only palatable, but really pleasant, and we concluded that any one might soon get to prefer his rasherof bacon raw. While the rest of us were eating, my brother had rigged his line and caught about a dozen beautiful trput. Several times wo noticed one rising almost under our feet. Duncan quietly tied a short fly link to the end of a beech switch and quickly whipped him out of his native element. It was evi dent that trout were plenty here and that they were hungry. Some of the party were anxious to stop and fish a couple of hours, but Solomon assured us that it would be late before we reached the end of our day’s journey ns it was, and concluding to devote a day to the Potomac on our roturn, we started forward. Having walked two miles, it was my turn to ride. With a sack and a pair of saddle-bags under me, a oreel over each of my shouldora, and my rod inono hand and the rein in the other, I started. The ascent from the river was, if notqulto perpendicu lar, terribly steep, and the path horribly rough. It was almost equal to riding up a pair of stairs. Now I felt the need of a saddle. Tlio suck and saddle-bags on which I was seated commenced slipping back ward as my nug rocked and reeled up the steep hill side. X hud no recourse but to let go the bridle rein and clutch hlsmaue with a grasp of desperation. A ride of threo hundred yards did me for that time, and I dismounted ; but a walk of a mile or so more with a sore toe made me glud to try riding agnin ; fortunately the road was more level and I got along with some comfort Our route now lay through a magnificent specimen of primitive American forest, un touched by un nxe, except to “bla/.e” the path we were travelling. Wo had left the ordinary timber of the country behind. There was not an oak of any kind, not n fclckory nml none of the trees with which our readers ore most familiar in all this vast dense forest. There were hemlocks and spruce pines which towered up to a heighth that astonished us—one specimen of hemlock, a comparatively small tree which lay across our road, Solomon assur ed us a party of gentlemen had measured, and that It was exactly one hundred and twenty-three and u half feet long. There were others which much exceeded this Standing all about us. hemlocks and pines stood thickest, comparatively few other trees grow. On the olovutod ground nourished the Sugar Maple with wonderful luxuriance, and wo saw one stretch of these magnificent and useful trees where Solomon assured us six thou sand had buen counted on a Rpace of less than two hundred acies. What a sugar camp that would make? Scattered hero and there throughout the whole length of our route we saw the most wonderful spec imens of the wild cherry. One tree meas ured twenty-seven feet at the base and towered aloft scarcely diminished in girth for a distance of at least seventy feet, with out a limb or knot. Many others we noticed were from three to five feet in diameter with beautiful smooth trunks of an almost even thickness for fifty feet or more. The black birch grows to a gigantic size here. The beech was theonly common tree we saw. Both the wild cherries and the beech bear luxuriant crops. Bears feed on the wild cherries, and the beechnuts fur nish food for multitudes of squirrels which are so surprisingly tame that they will scarcely get out of your road. They do not seem to know what a man is. As an in stance of this our clerical friend’s experi ence will suffice. During our stay in this region he was standing on a rock,busy fish ing for trout, when he noticed a squirrel swimming the stream. It struok out A fish fast at the ond of hU line diverted his attention until he felt something olimb ing up his leg. Looking down he saw the dripping Bqulrrel quietly making its way up his body. When it reached his waist, he knocked it off into the water and It swam on to the shore. If he had not Interfered with it, the probabilities are It would have crept Into his pocket—at least It was tame enough to have done so, tame from its very wildness, and so unsophisticated as not to know the difference botween a man and a tree. Throughout tho whole of this region tho trees stand so oloso together and tho foliage is so donso that the mid-day sun only glints through little Irrogular oponings. As you look ovor tho rloh moss whloh hides tho dark oarth, tho gray rooks und tho docaying logs from sight, you moo ovorywhuro a multitude of light spots on tho rloh dark grooa of nature’s carpet. They are of & thousand shupes and seem to tromble and obange us you gaze upon thorn. These are speoks of sunshine, the resting plaoos of a few rays wbioh have managed to find an opening in the leafy oanopy aboye you So dense is the foliage that we walked fully ten minutes one day daring & sharp shower and scarcely & rain drop fell through. The leaves caught them all and held them un\l ajiittlejwindjshook them ofr and shot them l largelconcentrated drops,* The i primitive beauties of this grand, old primi tive forest must be seen to be appreciated. We cannot attempt to describe it Every step of the way led us through soenes of new and ever-varying loveliness. By the middle of the afternoon we reached cabin which 1b dignified with the: title of Midway Camp. It is a rude struc ture, being constructed of polls and shingled with hemlock bark. The larger crevices are stopped with moss. There is no chimney, but the smoke finds its way out at an open ing near the roof. It is only used in winter., and our guide assured us that he Blept in it for more than a week during the coldest weather of last winter. On that trip he| killed eight fine deer. Here we stopped a few moments*to get a drink from a spring; of delicious water, and here this letter; already too lengthy, must close. If any of our readers should think we have lingered too long in this unagnificent forest, let them remember write now from memory in a close three-story room in our office, with a flat tin roof above us and the ther mometer at 98 in the shade on the ground floor. We have been trying to keep cool by “thinking on frosty Caucasus.” If*anyonO should think we are catching vetv few] trout, to him we would say—patiench. In' our next we will catch trout enough. Mean" time we have beep fishing in the heavens and elsewhere, and in our opinion have taken good store of prey. H. G.
