II is history of the Anglo-Saxon and our present English lan guage was very interesting.

Presentation of Silver Service to an Old Lancasterian. —James M. Boon, Esq., a native and former resident of Lan caster, and the only son of oar esteemed fellow-citizen, Col. James Boon, has been the recipient recently of an elegant set of pure silver service from the employees of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railway Shops, at Fort Wayne, Indiana, of which he -has been the gentlemanly and efficient Foreman for the past six years. The Daily Gazette of that city says that “ it is a chaste and beautiful set of modern de sign, highly finished,consisting often pieces, neither galvanized nor plated, but made of pure sterling silver, costing four hundred and forty-five dollars, from which the manufacturer, A. H. Miller, Esq.,of Chicago, deducted a liberal discount on account of the purpose for w T hich it was purchased.” The same paper, of the 29th ult., contains an interesting account of the presentation and reception of the beautiful and appro priate gift, from which we extract the fol- Halfpast eleven on Saturday-forenoon, October 27, 18M, was the hour appointed for presentation. Isaac Dripps, Esq., Master Machinist, with his usual kindness, gave permission to have the whistle blown at the appointed hour. At the same time was heard the booming of the “Little Giant,” commanded by a company of artillerists belonging to the shops. In an instant all work was suspended, when the employees and others, including a fair sprinkling of the gentler sex, in all about one thousand persons, repaired to. the South end of the spacious machine shop, where the articles Tor presentation were tastefully arranged. A messenger was dispatched f o summon Mr. Boon to the theatre of attraction, lie came forward in company with Mr. Dripps, and kind reader you cun imagine the fix of so bashful an individual. lie seemed com pletely non-plussed.

The Population op Lancaster. —The vote of Lancaster City, at the recent elec tion, was within a small fraction of 3600. This, allowing one voter to every 6$ ot the inhabitants, which is the estimate gener ally given in the old States, would indicate a total population of not less than 22,000 — and this, we think, is rather under than over the mark. If we are correct in this view, then the increase, since the last census was taken in 1860-1, is a little over 5,000, or at the rate of about 1,000 per annum. If this ratio of increase holds good for the next ten years, Lancaster City will be able to show a population of over 30,000 souls. Important to Tobacconists.— Under the Internal Revenue Law of July 13th, 1866, all Tobacconists are required to give bonds to the Collector, and will not be per mitted to manufacture Cigars, Snuff or Chewing Tobacco until such bonds are given. It therefore becomes highly impor tant for the community atlarge to examine the law and comply with its requirements. Death of Jacob B. Tshudy, Esq.— Jacob B. Tshudy, Esq., a life-time residerf. of the village of Litiz, and one of the best known citizens in Lancaster county, died on Thursday afternoon, at his residence in that village, after a short but very painful illness. lie was a successful merchant, prompt, honorable and reliable in all his dealings with his fellow men, and also filled many positions during his life of trust and responsibility. He was the first Treasurer of the Reading and Columbia Railroad Company, and for many years, and up to the day of his death, Secretary and Treas urer of the Lancaster and Litiz Turnpike. He was exceedingly affable and polite in intercourse, and was respected by all who knew him for his many virtues and social qualities. He took a lively interest in all that pertained to beautifying and increas ing the prosperity of the village in which he resided. In every sense of the word he was a public-spirited citizen. He leaves an interesting family to mourn his demise, and liis Mss to the community in which ho spent a useful life will lung be severely felt and deeply regretted. llknky S.

Employment for Life.— Under the above caption the Pittsburg Commercial has n very sensible and will-timed article, which should be read by every youth in the land. We commend it to the careful consideration of the youths of this city : “It is said that if a merchant or any business man wants a clerk and advertises for one, he is overrun with applications, while, at the same time, it is a matter of no small difficulty to secure an adequate sup ply of apprentices to learn good Handicraft trades. These we do not take to be good signs of the tone of feeling among our older boys and our younger class of young men who have their business in life yet to choose. It is inferred from these facts,and weseeno error or defect in the logic, that there is, among the candidates for future business, standing and prosperity in the country, a prevailing and souiuwbatimiform prejudice against personal aud physical labor. “ Wo have nothing to say in the least de gree disparaging to clerkships, whether they be at the counter or at the desk, in the store, the oflioe, or the banking house. But the number of such situations is necessarily limited, and cannot afldrd places lor all the rising young menofthegeneration. Besides, the advantages of them are greatly overra ted, as the more thoughtful and provident of those who occupy them will testify. They have their advantages, undoubtedly, but there are also draw-backs to them. They muv bo less laborious, but they are not so healthy as physical toil. Their present pay muv be moro than that of a journeyman at a trade, though this is fur from beingulways so, but they have not tho same prospect of increase as a good workman at any trade has when he sets up for himself. Thesmall affair of wearing better clothes has itsetlect in the greater expense of them, and the still smaller consideration of soft white hands is balanced by stronger arms and a good digestion. “ The apprenticeship in a city is, we con fess, not an attractive one, as things are dmie in these times. We have often pitied the poor boys who have no week-day homes but the shop or the manufactory, and no Sabbath-day homes but the street corners, no associates buL those ol tho like forlorn class, and no recreations but the places of public and not always innocent or safe resort. But, after all the trials con nected with the season of apprenticeship trials which might be greatly diminished by humane and Christian treatment on tho part of employers and their families—tho attainment of a good trade, to a steudy and virtuous young man, is enough to compen sate for them. It is a hill of dilliculty to ascend, but independence is at the summit. “In choosing an employment for life, then, we advise the youth not to be carried away from a just judgment, by present, appear ances, which are often deceptive, and especi ally to discard at once and forever, the un manly and pernicious notion, that physical labor, the labor of the hands, has necessarily connected with it any discredit. The men who are. in their advanced years, living in alHuence and comfort, sober and respecta ble men, hud no such mistaken idea in the days of their vigor and youth. And iu the estimation of such men, with all their ex perience and will) all their accumulated wealth, toe steady, industrious, trusty aporentice will stand as high as any other youth. It is not tho position or the employ ment that gives worth or happiness to the man. These are inherent in the man him self, and may be as well cultivated and as iinely developed in the tradesman as in any other man.’’ Lancaster llorse Market, Monday, Novemheu 12th, ISM.—The market for the past week has been very dull, the ar rivals being rather few, and the sales but a little better.

Be Cheerful at Your Meals.— The benefit derived from food taken depends very much upon the condition of the body while eating. If taken in a moody, cross or dospuiring condition of the mind, digestion is much less perfect and slower than when taken with a cheerful disposition. The very rapid and silent eating—too cominou among Americana—should be avoided, aud some topic introduced at meals that all may partake in; aud if a hearty laugh is occa- in, it will be all the bet ter. U is not uncommon fora person dining in pleasant aud sociable company to eat aud digest well that which, when eaten alone and the mind absorbed in some deep study or brooding over cares and disap pointments, would bo long undigested in the stomach, causing disarrangement and pain; and, il much indulged in, become the cuuso ot permanent and Irreparable Injury to the system. .$l2 r,o ...11 f»o' ... 9 25 ... :5 10 ... 2 no oo ... 1 00 ... 1 10 Demorest’.s Youyti America Is the title of a now aud very Uttractlvo Magazine for Boys and Girls, that will both delight and instruotthem.

History records that on a memorable oc casion Rome was saved by the cackling of geese. It does notsay, however*, that itwas from any suddenly conceived affection of the web-footed fowls for the inhabitants of the Seven-Hilled City. It must have been, then, because the geese were disturbed in their slumbers by the foes of the Romans. At any rate Rome was saved, and although it has lost much of its pristine glory and splendor, still .it is revered and honored as having been centuries ago the seat of wis dom and learning. But it was not about Rome, either ancient or modern, that we intended to write; it is of the singular affection of a Gander that has come under our observation. We have read of tame geese and wild geese, and have frequently tested the qualities of a dead young goose, after it has been properly basted and roasted. Websterdefinesagoose to be “a well-known aquatic fowl, of the genus Auser, but the domestic goose lives chiefly on land, and feeds on grass. The soft feathers are used for beds, and the quills for pens. The wild goose is migratory.” But it is not even of this we intended to write: it is, as we said before, of the singu lar affection of a Gander. \Vv~have heard of the affection of the geese one for another, and have frequently been an interested gazer of a procession of geese, single file, headed by a “gay old gander.” In our boyhood days we were wont to be delighted with a negro song, given in Kunkel's in imitable style, of the courting scene bet ween a gentlemau of the “genus Anser,” and a lady of the same species. The chorus was as follows: O look-a Lhar! O look-a whar ? U look right over yonder, And don't you see the old gray goose A-smillng at the gander ? But we started out to write something about the singular affection ofa gander, and, for fear our readers will become impatient, will at once proceed to do so, at the same time promising to “ Nothing extenuate, Nor aught set down In malice.’' Some weeks ago a gentleman, residing in the eastern part of llie city, was the fortu nate possessor of two Ganders, who loved each other with an affection that tongue cannot speak nor pen write about. But an evil day came, the uquatic gentlemen had a quurrel, and agreed to separate. When they met it was to be as perfect strangers to each other. The one Gander attached him self to the person of a young man named Lambert, who is also a resident of the east ern part of the city, and from that day to this this Gander has been as constant and faithful as any spouse could be. Every* where the young man goes the gander is sure to follow him. In the morning it will appear at the front door of his residence, and patiently await his appearance. If lie happens to have escaped the observation of the Gander, the poor fowl flies from corner to corner and from block to block until it lias lbund the object of its search. Its de light on seeing him is manifested in different ways. On Saturday morning, whilst conversing with a gentleman in the P. R. R. Depot, our attention was called to the movements of Young Lambert, who was currying a valise down Chestnut street to the depot, commenced running, and no sooner had he done so than the gander, which had been Ibllowing after him all the while, began to tly. A number of gentle men witnessed these singular movements and were much amused and still more as tonished. is (binder. The above is no mere fancy sketch, but is an actual occurrence which is taking place every tlav. We never heard or saw the like before, and concluded to give our read ers the the singularly-conceived affection of a Gander! ri'NKRAi. of Jacob B. Tshupy, Kso. — The funeral of the late Jacob B.

Preserving Apples.—As this is the sea
son for packing apples, whatever is new
and practicable relating thereto will be of
interest, not only to producers, but to our
city readers, who contemplate providing a
quantity of this fruit for winter and spring
use. Here is what a gentleman contributes
to an agricultural journal:
“ A layer of dry saw dust was sprinkled
at the bottom of the packing box, and then
a layer of apples placed in so that they did
not touch each other. Upon these was
placed a layer of sawdust, and so on until
the box wits tilled. The boxes, after being
packed in this way, were placed on the wall
in the cellar, up from the ground, where
they kept perfectly sound, retaining their
freshness and llavor, brought out and ex
hibited at the fair.”

A Hint to Ladies. —An Eastern cotem
porary, who has evidently been shoved into
the mud, and also been in danger ofhaving
his eye put out by the tip of an umbrella
arm, takes revenge in the following lan
guage : “ Ladies, when two of you are
walking side by side, taking up every inch
of the cross-walk, and the day is rainy and
the mud deep, don't think ofsuchathing
as for oue of you to step behind the other,
so as to allow one of the “ lords of creation”
(what a misnomer! to pass you dry shod,
but always do as you did—crowd him off
into the inud, and keep your umbrellas
bolt upright, too; it's uo difference to you
if he has to hold his at arm’s length away
from him so as to avoid a collision with
vours ; and then it looks so lady-like and
becoming for you to assert your superiority
upon every such occasion.”
