looked like,, sure ; ,places.t Not a rise
did L get, but a loud* laugh preceded the
announcement. there was not a fish
in the stream. 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

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

THE FIRST DESPATCH DIRECT FROM LONDON*
Heart’s Content, N. F., July 27, yia
Aspy Bay, C. 8., July 29.—The Londou
Times of July 27th says of the Atlantic
Telegraph: “It is a great work, the story
of the age and nations, and they who have
achieved it deserve to bo honored as the
benefactors of their race.”
A treaty of peace has been signed *bo
tween Austria and Prussia. A previous
telegram says that a live days’ armistic be*
tween Austria and Prussia commenced at
