A fall near the mouth of it utterly precluded them from getting up. We took the joke kindly and prooeded on our way. Arriving at the Blackwater river we found it spreading out at the point where we struck it into a wide, deep pool, or pond as Solomon called it. The water was so deeply dyed by the hemlock roots that it looked as black as ink. The morning was cool and we almost shivered at the idea of wading in such a treacherous looking stream. It was us black and sl’ugish as Acherop and looked as cold as the Styx. Along the banks wore dark gray rocks roundfed and worn by the freshet 9 which had followed the breuking up of six thousand winters, -while overshadowing the stream on either side, and shutting out the morning sun, stood the tall, dark hemlocks in terlaping their branches. Here and there we could seeja trout rise. Solomon pointed out to us a spot where a couple of weeks previous ho hud caught forty or iifty with out moving. Cheered somewhat by bis as surances, we settled down to work. For an hour or so the cupneious little beauties bit very slowly, but after the rays of the sun begun to light up tbe dark stream, you could see troulbreakingthowaterwherovor you looked. My brother stood on a rock ami caught fifty odd without moving, se curing two at a draw some eight times. 'Hie writer of this ruughl over a hundred within an hour and a hull', without walking more limn two hundred yards. This wo did after Duncan, who preceded us, had i ...ght about the same number on the same ground. There were myriads of trout-here. They were fat as they could bo, and of a must beautiful color. They would snap ut gmy kind of bute. The most nondescript f lly or the mere fragment of a worm would bo taken with equal avidity. This would bo tbe spot for those who hold that a pine polo and u twine string ure us good as the finest tackle, and u very paradise for those greedy fellows who estirnuto the pleasure of a lishing excursion by the number of pounds caught. It is only occasionally that such a stream as this is now found. Many of our trout streams in Pennsylvania haveulreadybeen ruined by saw mills which kill tho trout, or fished out, for Want of protection, with nets and other unsportsmanlike contrivances. In any ordinury trout stream it requires skill and experience to till your creel, but tin* excitement and tho pleasure Is propor tionately the greuter. It is a well estab lished fact that all kinds of game fish uro fastidious, and tho trout family more es pecially are singularly careful not only about tbe quality of their food,]but also nice about tho time they will take it. An ob serving sporlsmun will soon find the kind of bait lhatwillplea.se the capricious taste of those ho would allure into his possession and if he is skilled in his art ho will bo ablo to deceivo tho “ oldest dodgers’' if it hap pens to lie the hour when they are willing to dim*. Put if the hour at which tho bait is o lie red bo unpropitious, no genius can prevail on the fish to nibble though the bait be composed of grubs in season, or of the richest Hies tho angler over deviled into shape. These things would have been well enough yesterday; you might with such temptations have tilled your creel any where-pulled your victims in until your arms ached; to-day not a jaw will wag to your bidding. A well-educated and cares fully-raised trout, inhabiting a clear and much haunted stream, stands no possible danger of over falling into the hands of tho “ common-place fisherman.” A trout of this kind is an artist iu bait, and more than probably has hud his jaws tickled by a hook as an additional suggestion to bocareful as to what lie cuts. To run your wits agaiuat a venture of this kind, in clear water on a sunshiny day, you must meet with ill suc cess unless they are sharpened by experi ence and aided by fine tackle. An awk wardly thrown line, orevenavulgarsplash of an artificial fly, will startle any trout and awake his suspicious, and once he gots his eye on you, or discovers tho rude ma chinery you have prepared for his deatruc lion, lie is sale beyond peradventure. You can no moro tempt his appetite or lull his just suspicions by your “ eonlrapsions,” than you could eutieo an alderman puffed up with turtle soup to take a snack on soused plgH-feet, An experienced angler, with a single hair, cun conquer any trout weighing loss than a pound, and as gentle men do not llsh for the purpose of* 4 making a living,” there is certainly some pleasure tell, and properly so, in overcoming by art superior force in securing your game. One feels much moro proud of a partridge killed while on the wing than of amiserabledung hill fowl knocked down while roosting on a rail-fence. It is only the amount of intel lectual excitement we bring to bear in over coming the inhabitants of tbe woods, tbe air or the water, that distinguishes our pur suit of gurae from the herd who kill only for gum, or, like tho savage, to satisfy hunger. Iu the Blackwater but little skill is required, and long before night we had iiilod our creels with its unsophisticated denizens, and were lazily strollingdow n ,tlie stream, having caught in all over six hundred trout. Xot more than half a mile below the point where we struck the river the gorge through which It flowed began to contract, the mountain sides grew perpendicular, and the siream, narrowed down to less than a hundred feet in width, swept with tierce dashes over opposing rocks, and chafed madly against the unyielding banks. Through the still atmosphere of a delicious dune day the hoarse roar of a waterfall grew more distinct, until the air became tremulous, and wo felt, or fancied we felt, the earth quivering beneath our feet. These falls present the most beautiful specimen of wild mountain scenery we have ever seen. Clutching the trunk of an overhang ing tree, and swinging your body over the precipice, you look sheer down into the seething pool, some sixty-five feet below you. Above your head the mountain sides rise perpendicularly, not, however, with mere bare walls of stony gray, In every opening crevice the hemlocks have taken root, and seem to "grow LoTirst on loftiest and least shelter’d rocks, Rooted in ba- renuess, where naught below Of soli supports them 'gainst the wintry shocks Of eddying storms; yet springs the trunk, and mocks Tbe bowling tempest, till its height and frame Are worthy of the mountains from whose blocks Of bleak, gray granite into life it came, And grew a giant, tree.” They lean forward until their interlaping branches meeting above the stream alinos shut out the sun, and create a perpetual twilight. This is relieved pleasantly by the thick green moss and trailing vines that, nourished into extraordinary luxurianoe by the moisture of tbe soft spray, spread like a gracefully folded vail over every rough and .unsightly prominence. Climbing down the trunk of a tree, which grows out of the side of the preci pice, and clambering with perilcJus steps over slippery rocks, you finally stand at •the foot of the fall. When the stream is filled by tbe dissolving which oftAn lies three and four feet deep in these forests, It must be really grand. As we look at it now, it presents an object of picturesque beauty. It is divided into three cascades. Th 9 one on ;your left leaps some forty feet downward, and is then broken into foam and spray on the rocks. The middle column falls sheer 'down the full sixty-five feet, in ja, thin sfieet, which is of a peculiar rich ' tinge, the hue to which the water is 4yed .by the. beml? cli roots#. That on'tbe ••' jaft' comes, leaping downward in a sudees • flion of small falls by a circuitous rout. Wo : ': : ( 'hanh ! ftt atterhpt; any further description, ;!

H. G. Smith, Soldiers* and Sailors* County Convention, All Paris of tbe County Represented, Harmony and Enthusiasm Prevail. Delegates to* the Soldiers* Union State Convention. Resolutions, Speeches, Ac. The Convention of the Johnson and Clymer Soldiers and Seamen of Lancaster county, to elect delegates to the State Convention, which meets at Harrisburg on Wednesday next, convened in the Hall of tho Young Men’s Democratic Association this morn ing at 11 o’clock. It was largely attended by the “ boys in blue.” The Convention was callecLto order by Colonel F. S. Pyfer, who stated that he was sorry that the com mittee were unable to proourea cooler room for meeting; but they had made an unsuc cessful application to the County Commis sioners for the Court Room, which had here tofore been granted for political purposes, and more than that, ior a strolling negro to make a speech in last winter. Captain Owen Rice nominated Capt. John Wise, of the f>th Pennsylvania Cavalry, as Chairman. Captain Wise, on taking tbe chair, made a few eloquent and spirited re marks. Bo said that it was the first time in several years that he bad appeared as a member of any Convention, but ho was proud to bo here to-day. He was among tho men who had fought for the Union and tho Constitution. • It was the Democratic soldiors who had crushed the rebellion. At the beginning the men in power declared that the war was to bo waged solely for the preservation of tho Union und the Constitution. Afier wurds, when the wur was to some extent perverted from its legitimate objects, the Democratic soldiers, as true Union men, still remained in tho Held. The Captain made a telling allusion to the refusal of the County Commissioners to grant the use of the Court House for the holding of this Convention. He spoke of Mr. Stevens’ course in tho Buckshot War, and said that the Democratic soldiers were prepared for their duty now as they were then. He said tho Democratic soldiers were ready for hard knocks, und to defend the cause for which they fought against all assailants. The Captain concluded his remarks amid en thusiastic applause. Tho organization of the Convention was completed as follows; Vice Presidents Private Joseph Albright, East Donegal. Lieut. George W. White, Manhoiin Bor. Private John N. Miller, City. Sorgt. Jacob H. Smith, Warwick. Hergt. George A. Pinkerton, City. Sorgt. John Garber, City. Private William Brehcn, Mount Joy Bor. Secretaries: Lieut. C. A. Lichtenthaler, Warwick, Capt. Owen Rice, City. Col. F. S. Pyfer moved that a Committee of Fifteen be appointed to report tbe names of delegates to represent the Soldiers of Lancaster county in theHarrisburgConveu tion, and that the same, Committee draft a series of resolutions expressive of the sense of this Convention, and of the honorably discharged Soldiers and Seamen of Lancas ter county. Tho President appointed the following gentlemen as the Committee: Col. F. S. Pyfer, city; E. Schaeffer Metz ger, N. E. Ward; Casper Weitzel, N. W. Ward; Francis Kllburn, S. W. Ward; Lieut. J. 9. Roatb, East Donegal; J. Hogen tobler, East Ilempfield; Joseph Keene, Eden; A. J. Eby, Mauheim bor.; L. F. Steffey, Mouut Joy ; Corp. Henry Sbire mn«7 Marietta; William H. Marsh, Salis bury; John Cox, Rapho; Jacob H. Smith, Wui-wick; James H. Powers, Sadsbury; John Saylor, Penn. When the Committee returned, they re ported through Col. Pyfer, Chairman, the following resolutions; resolutions. Whereas, TheßO-called Soldiers’ Conven tion held at Pittsburg, June sth last, being evidently under the complete control of a set of cfesiguiug politicians, by pledging itself, and pretending to pledge the Soldiers of Pennsylvania to the support of all the revolutionary schemes of tne Radicals in Congress, did entirely misrepresent the sen timents and outrage the feelings of the great body of the returned soldiers of Pennsyl vania. Therefore, Resolved , That we repudiate the senti ments contained in the aeries of resolutions adopted by that Convention, and the action therein had. Resolved, That as we volunteered to fight for the maintenance of the Constitution against the assault of the Southern seces sionists; and imperilled our liyes to preserve the Union of tlio Slates, we will not willing* Iv submit to see the one destroyed, and the restoration of the other delayed, in ordor that a set of Northern disunionists may bo enabled to maintain their hold of power and office. Resolved , That we are for the Union in all its integrity, as one and indivisible, and that we hold the politicians, who are labor ing to prevent its restoration, as no better than the Southern rebels whom we fought on the field of battle. Resolved , That the wise and statesman like restoration policy of President Johnson is, in our estimation, just what is needed to enable the country to reap the full fruits of the victories gained by us at the sacrifice of so many of our gallant comrades ; and that his manly and fearless action in vetoing the Freedman’s Bureau Bill and the Civil Rights Bill, together Withhiscondemnation of the Amendment to the Constitution, by which it is proposed to force the odious con dition of negro suli'rage upon the country, merits our hearty approval. Resolved , ThatwnenGen. JohnW. Geary took his stand on the platform adopted by the convention of Radicals which nomi nated him, he fully pledged himself to op pose the restoration of tbe Union and to aid in forcing negro suffrage on the people. That the soldiers of Pennsylvania cannot and ought not to support him, and that we do and will repudiate him at the risk of be ing called “Hessians and traitors,” terms by which he has seen fit to characterize all soldiers who differ with him politically. Resolved, That the Hon. Hiester Clymer, by his devotion to the Constitution and the Union, has merited and will receive the gratitude of the people of Pennsylvania, and the soldiers who fought to preserve the Constitution and to restore the Union will gladly aid in placing him in the Guberna torial chair or this Commonwealth, being assured tfe will prove an able, houest ana upright Governor. i Resolved, That the delegates elected here to-day to the Soldiers’ Union Convention, to be held at Harrisburg on the Ist of Au- 1 gust next, are hereby instructed to aid in shaping the action of that body, so that it , may accord with the principles contained in | the resolutions adopted by this Convention. Resolved, That we urge the formation of i a Soldiers’ Club in every township and | borough in the county, as auxiliary to the “ Soldiers’ and Seamen’s Johnson and Cly- I mer Club of the City of Lancaster.” j The resolutions were unanimously adopt- I ed amid much applause. I The following gentlemen were then elect ed delegates to the State Convention: Lieut. J. S. Roath, East Donegal. Corp. Henry Shireman, Marietta. Corp. J. Benson Clepper, Columbia. Private A. J. Eby, Manheim Borough. Private Wm.Brehm, Mt. Joy. Lieut. John Bitzer, Salisbury. Private Wmf-Johnson, Sadsbury. Lieut. Chas. A. Lichtenthaler, Warwick. Drum Major Geo. Dyer, Conoy. Capt. H. A. Haines, East Donegal Lieut. Geo. Conrad, Pequea. Col. Fred. S. Pyfer, City. Lieut. E. Scheaffer Metzger, City, Private John N. Miller, City. Sergt. G. A. Pinkerton, City. Private Francis Kilburn, City. Private Casper Weitzel, City. ,Capt. John M. Amweg, City. Capt John Wise, City. Lieut. R. A. Smith, City. Private J. H. Hegener, City. Private John Sheaffer, East Donegal. i Private John Appold, Marietta, Sergt. Hiram Snyder, City. Private James Strachen, City. j Sergt. Geo. W. Zecher, City. I Private F. A. Houseal, Maytown. Private J. C. Guudaker, City, The delegates elected were authorized to fill any vacancies. As will he seen, the various townships of the county were well represented, and in all respects the Convention presented a very decided and iavoj*ah}e contrast to the beg garly affair which assembled in the Court House, to send delegates to the so-called Soldiers’ Convention of the sth of June. The in blue” nf Lancaster county will give a good account of themselves l at the coming election. They are resolved, to. vote px the Union and the Constitution, the : sacred objects for which they fought. , After a vote of thanksto - theofficers, the. Convention adjourned* > - ! Annual and Marshall Colleoe.— Tna -thirtieth anniversary of this;event :took:.plßC£UWa, morning at Fulton Hall, and was atteraedy by the usual amount af fJeauty aiid fasUipn / ofthe'cltyi ' A gresi ■nnmberioftte told;; among tbe friends whose smiles urged them on In similar Intellectual displays on former occasions. The music of•the'dty Cornet; tßand was very .fine, and everything off in the most pleasant ‘manner. . From, some cause or other, the number of stu dents Beems to be on .the decline, and* .only pix , members were in the graduating class of this year. After an appropriate prayer by Rev. Dr, Gerhart, President, the Salutatory was de livered by Samuel 8. Apple, of Woodcock, borough, Pa. His manner was animated, but his volce. rather poor, though great im provement is perceptible in both since his last publio effort. His appearance is prepossessing, and his subject was as much renovated as 1b possible for the Salu tatory to be. His ideas of the realities of life very true, and were well worthy of being pondered in the minds of his fellow students. Oration— Alexander Hamilton.—Henry C. Reber, Lower Bern, Pa. This was rather a narrative of thqiife of the great Federalist, his genins and bis mental exploits, afford ing nothing new for either speaker or bear ers to dilate upon. The speakerwas some what stiff in manner and gestures, and has a rolling voice, which, though powerful enough, is not amongst the sweetest to hear. Franklin Oration —The Idea of Worship —Jacob F. Wiant, Curllsville, Pa. Truth and its glories were eloquently portrayed. Everybody is possessed of an instinctive reverence and will worship something, and according to the nature of the people is its religion, whether Pagan, Mahometan, Buddhist, <fcc. A very logical argumentwasgiven in favorof Christianity, which was founded in love, other religions being only produced by fear and supersti tion. The Christian religion was holy, en nobling and beatific. The subject was a very fair one, and the oration well delivered. Oration —The Progress of Freedom.— Franklin R. Gerhard, Womelsdorf, Pa. The growth of Freedom was the theme ; it cannot be kept down, but becomes the mas ter when aroused, as witness the revolutions which have taken place in the world since man’s existence. It is not <x> be liberty’s flume is quenchless, and its holy cause will move on in spite of tyrants and everything that impedes its progress. Tbe speaker’s accent was slightly German, and his manner rather constrained, but at times he forgot his individuality and spoke in a natural way. Marshall Option —The Sun.—Albert B. Murtin, Marti asburg, Pa. A rather peculiar subject, but mude very interesting. The sun was the c antre of life, light and energy. The effect of a blotting out of the great luminary was. dwelt upon, and Us conse quences upou the animal, vegetable and minoral kingdoms. A beautiful descrip tion of the attributes of the Sun and its greut Creator whh given, and tho subject showed tjjat time und reasoning had been well employed In Us composition. The spenkor was u little too precise in his man ner hud language, but bud a good voice und a distinct pronunciation. The valedictory was delivered by Edward O. Forney, of Hanover, Pa., whosesubject was handled with all the grace requisite. Several new thoughts were brought forth* His voice was good, style graceful, easy and impassioned, and the speaker was decidedly tho orator of the occasion. Chaste and touching farewells were given to friends of tho college, his fellow students, trustees, faculty und classmates, and the whole effort was creditable to the youthful graduate. The degree of A. M., was then conferred upon the following gentlemen by the Board ot Trustees: Jeremiah Hoffman, Esq., of the class of ’O2; Rev. Samuel Transue, of the class of ’69; Major Wm. R. Gerhart, of the class of 63; Rev. W. H. H. Hibshman, of the class of’01; Rev. Wm. C. Cremer, of the class of ’6l; R. Cecil Kevin, of the class of ’63. Tbe degree of D. D. was conferred upon Rev. Geo. W. Williard, President elect of Heidelberg College; Rev. Daniel VanMat tan Johnson, Rector of St. Mary’s Church, (Episcopal,) of Brooklyn, N. Y.; Rev. Jos. S. Dubbs, Allentown, Pa.; and Rev. N. P. Hacke, Greensburg, Pa. The Baccalaureate was then delivered by Rev. Dr. Gerhart. A change has been made in tho Faculty by the Board of Trustees. Rev. John W. Nevin, D. D., has been elected President, and the Rev. Dr. Gerhart, Vice President and Professor of Mental and Moral Phil osophy. Rev. Dr. Porter retires, to assume tho duties of his new Professorship at La fayette College, Easton. The other Pro fessorships, we believe, remain unchanged.

At the. former place the hail stones were sp large abd came down with such force ©s to break through the top of the carriage of Mr. Frank Calder, of this city. At Strasburg the storm was equally dam aging in its effects. A correspondent sends the following particulars; Stbasbtjbg, July 25, 1866. ’Messes, Editors : This evening about 5 o’clock our borough was visited by on© of tbe most terrific storms ever witnessed by the oldest inhabitants. Hail from the size ot hickory nuts to hen eggs fell for about half an hour. The corn is somewhat injured, but tbe tobacco sustained the great est damage. Not much glass was broken, owing to the wind not being so high at the time. ... J- M. A gentleman from Quarryville gives ns the following In relation to the storm in that vicinity: “Quarryville and vicinity were visited with a terrible hail-storm yesterday evening between 5 and 6 o’clock, which lasted about half an hour, and was the most severe and damaging ever known in this portion of the county. Some of the hail-stones which fell here measured from 5 to 6 Inches in cir cumference, and the ground was oovered in profusion. The fruit and grain in some places has been entirely destroyed. AIL tbe panes of glass on one side of Mr. Samuel Fagan’s Hotel were knocked out; also 60 out of the windows of Mr. LorySuter’s Ho tel. and 100 on one side of tbe Concord Ma chine Shop.” We also learn that some corn-fields in the vicinity of Leamau-Place have been en tirely stripped and the crops ruined. At Weaverstown the storm was equally destructive. An esteemed*triend sends the following: Weaverstown, July 20,1866. Messrs Editor: I give you an account of the hail Btorm that visited us about 5 o'clock yesterday, P. M., as far as I can learn this morning, the extent from east to west about 3i to 4 miles, from north to south about the same. It has cut the com very much, it is thought by some that the corn will be very much injured, others think it will ear and be a tolerable crop. The apples, peaches, grapes, and all kinds of fruit two-thirds knocked off and injured. There were three of us together this morning, our ages from 55 to 61 years, and none ever saw hail fall so large. The stones generally were as large as hulled walnuts und some larger. You may have other accounts more full than this; you can make such note of this as you think proper. A great many panes of glass broken, some places as many as fifty panes. The storm extended south and east of usf and at other points than in this county very disastrous. The new bridge, which bos been under construction for some years past Over the Susquehanna river, from Perryville to Havre-do-Grace, was entirely destroyed. This bridge was intended to be used by the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti more railroud, aud also by the through New York road, which have been using large ferry-boats to transport their cars across the river. The bridge was a massive affair, und almostcompleted. Very little remained to be constructed but the diaw. The havoc made by the storm wus terrible. It is said that the wind blew a perfect hurricane. Heavy planks were sundered from their slroqg fastenings in a twinkling. The heavy blocks of stone which formed the piers were blown down as so many pieces of wood. Almost everything com posing the once massive structure was swept away. The violence of the storm was beyond description. Nothing in com parison with it has ever been experienced in this vicinity. It was not long in dura tion, but the damage done in that short time was immense. It will take million o of dollars to cover the loss. The telegraph wires in the vicinity of the Susquehanna which communicate between Philadelphia and Baltimore were swept from the poles, and injured in such manner as to prevent the transmission of messages. Only a slight shower fell at Philadelphia and pedestrians on the streets did not turn aside to avoid it. Soldiers’ and Seamen's Johnson and Clymer Club.—The fourth stated meeting of this Club took place onTuesday evening, July 23d. The meeting was called to order at 8 o’ clock. Minutes of the last meeting read and ap proved. The President announced that the County Convention to be held on Saturday, the 28tli iust., in Lancaster city, would be con vened in their Club Room. [lt was incidently mentioned that the County Commissioners had been applied to for the use of the Court Room, but that, al though it had been rented and given gratuitously to itinerant preachers of the African ‘suasion, and made a public ex hibition room of for similar purposes; and a Convention of Soldiers, holding views according with those of the Commissioners, had been permitted to held therein, it was refused, alter consultation with fourth Commissioner, Coroner Janitor Snyder, for the holding of the Soldiers’ und Seamen’s Convention on Saturday next.] On motion the list of members was or dered to be rovlsed, und if any were found who had publicly acknowledged themselves of the Stevens shade, their names should be struck from the roll. The following list of names were added to the list and the meeting adjourned. John Stark, Independent Battery. Samuel Dorwart, Independent Battery. Charles Bixtel, sth Pa. Cavalry. Geo. Laucomer, Co.

Tiie Cattle Thieves Again—More Arrests.— This morning, about 10 o’clock, Officer Shantz, of Lebanon, brought before the Mayor the two other men implicated in the theft of Mr. Coleman’s cattle on the 2d of July. Their names are George B. Illig and Wm. F. Illig, one of whom is a brother and the other a cousin of Jacob Y. Illig pre viously arrested. In default of $4,000 bail each, they were committed to prison for a hearing on Monday next at 2 o’clock. We understand that Mr. Pottejger, of Reading, to whom they sold the cattle, has identified two of the parties arrested. The parties ac cused all reside in the borough of Lebanon, and Officer Shantz deserves great credit for his energy and efficiency iu ferreting the matter out and so promptly making the ar rests. The York County Murder.—There are now five persons in jail at York, charged with the murder of the Squibb family, near that place, in June last. The York Press notices the last arrest as follows: A man named McGinnigas was arrested at Harris burg, and brought to the jail in this place, on Tuesday, charged with the murder of the Squibb family. We are told that he is a resident of the vicinity of Harrisburg, and that he confessed that he had murdered three persons, and that he expected to be hung for thecrime. Uponmaking this con fession it was supposed that it was the murderer of Squibb family he alluded to, and was accordingly arrested as being the perpetrator of that horrid deed. It is said the confession was made on Monday, the day of the murder. Order for Weighing the Mail.— Owing to the great increase in the weight of the mails recently, the Pennsylvania Rail road Company have asked an increase for transporting them. Before granting this re quest, the Post Office Department at Wash ington issued an order that all the malls passing over the road shall be accur ately weighed, in order that the proper figures for determining the justice of the claim may be obtained. Accordingly for the next thirty days, beginning with yester day, all the mails passing over the road will he weighed. Hot Days.—G. T.

Id like SUMMER k BEVERAGES SODA Water is the thermometer is 90° In the shade, perspiring humanityi oooling beverage With which to allay Its consam ing thirst,aiid WUh'ih.© hope.ofiproducing a refreshing tjrame of mind 'Md 1 a normal conditionb&J& 'Spirits of all kinds are too heavy and -heating in hot weather, mid light drinks long a£d 0 Q9pling are In demand. The most popnkir '’drink in summer] is soda water. It lsgeneraliy palatable, refreshing, safe to take; anifrto'be found at Grnger & Rice’s and J/&. ley's drag stores. It is served up with syrups agreeable to the taste, and coming fresh froffi*the'iharbW ice-boxes, flavored with a delicious syrup,, affords momentary relief from theintolera bly heated atmosphere, and yet while such large : quantities are consumed, probably not one-tenth of those who habitually drink it have a very dear idea as to how it Is ! made. : Soda water is simply and only pure water im pregnated with carbonic acid gas. Occa sionally minute portions of carbonate of soda or rochelle salts are added to the water» but that which has become so popular a beverage, contains none of these ingredi ents. It is simply aerated water. The manner of impregnating the water with, carbonic acid gas is very simple, although, the necessary apparatus to perform the operation is rather expensive. A heavy iron vessel, lined with porcelain, holding about fifteen gallons, is filled two-thirds full of water as cold as it can be obtained,. This vessel is called a fountain, and is the article which we see attached to every soda, apparatus in the city. The vessel is then with several others, placed upon a rack, whioh is rocked to and fro by machinery. A tube leading from the generator where the gas is made is then attached to the mouth-piece of the fountain and suffi cient gas forced therein to fill the vessel, full. The pressure upon the fountain when full, is equal to 120 pounds to the square Inch During the process of pumping in the gas the fountains are rooked rapidly to and fro r shaking the water thoroughly for the pur pose of mixing the water and the gas com pletely. The gas used is generally obtained, from a pure article of marble, although, sometimes other articles are used for its. generation. The murble contains nearly equal parts of lime and carbonic acid in a. solid state. The marble having been pul verized, is placed in a generator, where it is. subjected to the action of sulphuric acid. This acid instantly combines with the lime and li Derates the carbonic acid gas, which, is then forced through water, for the pur pose of cleaning it, to a reservoir. From the reservoir, it is forced into the fountains as described, thoroughly impregnating the water therein. An exchange thus describes a new stylo of summer drinks where wine is used in stead of ■water, and drawn like soda-water from the fountain, the quality unimpaired “Thi9 is simply a large glass vessel, En closed between the two filled with gas. The glass vessel being filled with white wine, is partially impregnated with gas. The act of drawing it, however, opens little valves, which allow the confined gas to mingle with the liquor, and a fine article of champagne is the result. Native wines are thus served, and sparklingcatawba, &c., produced. This same fouutuin is now in use to a Blight ex tent in the soda-water business, and is ascer tained to be a great iinprovementon the old ones, which were found to impart a metal lic ta9te to the liquid. Another season we may expect to see champagne and ail the light wines offered for sale on draught as freely as we have soda-water this year. The more of such light driuks we have among us the less will be the quantity of intoxi cating beverages consumed.” Burnt bread! Dried dinner! Cross cooks and a hungry household generally ! All engendered by the outrageous antics of a worthless Stove. These evils prevail more or less in every community. Now indubitably we]shall be doing our readers a service by informing them that from the practical experience of competent Judges, the only thoroughly reliable cooking stove in the market, is the “Barley Sheaf,” lately introduced by those well known stove founders of Philadelphia, Messrs. Stuart, Peterson, it Co. The demand for this stove promises to be immense. Lancaster Horse Market, Monday, July 30th, 1866.—Owing totheunusualdull nosa of the Horse Market for a season, we have neglected for several weeks to furnish our regular weekly report of the same. Th e market, during the past three weeks, how ever, has again assumed a brisker aspect, with a better demand for good young driv ing and work horses. The arrivals, sales and shipments since last report have been as follows, viz: Trout's.— There were 10 remaining on hand at last report. The arrivals were 95 head, some of which were superior'young Western horses, and received as follows: 15 head by Mr. P. G. Morgart, from Bedford county, Pa.; 42 head by Messrs. Sharp A Co., from Steubenville, Ohio, and 14 head by Mr. James Stevens from Illinois. The sales amount to7B head to farmers and oth er buyers, uud the shipments 59 head to Eastern Markets, leaving 28head iirthe sta bles. A car-load (10 head) of very fine young Western horses arrived this afternoon from Harrison county, Ohio, for James H.Steck man. Copeland & Cline’s.— l 2 head on hand at last report. The arrivals here were 95 head, bought in this and adjoining coun ties, and the sales and shipments amount to 100 head, leaving 7 head yet in the. stables for sale. Lancaster vs. Reading.— Friend Knabb of the Reading Journal, wishes our opinion of the Reading Beer. To slightly paraphrase the language of Mr. Stevens, in reference to a radical representative from the “ Sucker” State, “ when we cannot praise an article, we prefer to say nothing about it.” Reading is, indeed,-a city of beauty, enterprise, wealth and prosperity; hut its Beer! Why, “sakes alive, man,” what do you mean? There is as much difference between the Beer of Lancaster and that of Reading as.there is between day and night. If you don’t believe us, come over and try it, and we’ll bet our “ Morton ” against your old slouch that, like the Queen of Sheba in the presence of Solomon of old, you will be astonished, and hesitate not to say of the exhilirating, beneficial and drinkable qualities of the (Lancaster Beer, “the half hadn’t been told you.” We cannot imagine why our handsome and sprightly friend should wish the opinion of a lemperancc man in such matters, but presume the one given will prove satisfactory. Elizabethtown Johnson and Olymer Club.— Elizabethtown, July 30th, 1866. The Johnson and Clymer Club met on Friday evening last, at Friendship Hall.
