Another Earthquake in Lancaster,
—Lanchster looks like a solid old Dutch
town, and the conformation of the surround
ing country would lead to the supposition
that the foundations of its antiquated
superstructures are all laid on the most
substantial basis. If, however, current
local rumor is to be credited, there is but
a thin crust between the surface and some
mysterious and unfathomed subterranean
cavity of vast dimensions. Every nowand
then we have earthquakes. There can be
no doubt about the matter. The witnesses
are too numerous and too respectable to be
impeached. Lust night not a few of th e
godly members of various religious de
nominations were alarmed by a repetition
of one of these mysterious affairs. About
11 o’clock, if the evidence of multitudes of
disinterested witnesses is to bo taken as
proof of an occurrence, the earth trembled
and shook, and the air was full of strange
noises. We thought we heard a carriage
drive by our sanctum about that hour, but
neither the same carriage nor any number
of other carriages could have been beard
at the same lime in all parts ol the city.
There wwt an earthquake. “The monster
mumbled with his thick lips,” but fortu
nately did nol devour anybody. Last night
being Sabbath night the various witnesses
who testify to the occurrence were of course
all duly sober. Another strong point in
fnvor of the earthquake.
Tiik&lst Annual Report of the Lan
caster County Biri.k Society.— Relow
we give the report for publication at the
f-fly-lirst meeting of the Lancaster County
Rible Society:
The Executive Committee, in presenting
their annual report to their patrons, would
gratefully recognize the bund of Providence,
which has watched over the society in the
past year, and permits us, in peace and
safely, 10 meet together on this annual les
livaL
We note, however, the absence ol one
from our midst, who wasu director and co
worker, .John Shea Her, a good man and
true, who was suddenly called troni labor
into bis eternal rest. By this dispensation
we are all admonished to “ work while lL is
railed to-day.”
Toe importance of our work, as a society,
cannot huoverestimated. I tsoperations and
its influences for good are various and most
tuxieii.sivu. With a depository well sup
plied with the word of < Jod, of various sizes.
In various bindings, and tit low prices; and
with a treasury well supplied with the
means to carry on our work, the society
aims to supply every destitute lamily in
the city ami county of Lancaster with the
sacred column ; to supply every Sabbath
school in tie* city and county with Jiibles
and Testaments; to donate the precious
volume to all who are willing to pi it,
but too poor to purchase; and then, with
our surplus revenue, to aid the ijafeiil so
ciety In translal ing the Scriptures into va
rious languages, and thus to limiish the
missionaries in all parts of the Heathen
world with the Word of Life. Thus, our
field is the world.
q'he platform "f the -nriely is broad anil
deep, and purely Catholic. I’pon it Chris
tians ol every ’Evangelical denomination
inuv stand and m operate. Cor it aims to
disseminate the pure, unadulterated Word
of Hod, our common heritage, without
human note or comment, while this Word
itself affords the only true bond of union,
of sent intent and hiu niuiiY of act ion among
all ('hrisliaiis.
Such being the aims of the society, such
the field of its operations, and .such the nu
llin' of Its work, it should certainly receive
the hearty eo operation of all who love and
value the Bible. Wo deeply lament that
the society does not elicit a greater interest,
and a more general co-operation. An eflorl
was made during lie* past year to awaken
this interest ami to secure this co-operation,
but without success. The Ex ecu 11 ve Com
notice are disposed to renew the attempt
this year, and for this purpose they are
anxious to secure the services of a faithful
colporteur to canvass the city and county ;
call at lent ion to the importance oi llie work;
solicit coal ri I ait ion and supply all the desti
tute with a copy of the Bible. Wc therefore
make a renewed call upon tin* members of
the Society and the churches of the city and
county to come to our help in this blessed
work. Let liberal contributions llow into
our treasury, let fervent prayer be offered
Up in behalf of the Society, and by the
blessing of (Jod greater success will crown
our efforts in tin* coming year.

I Trials in the Court of Common
£eeAb.—During the Common Pleas week,
commencing Monday,. Nov. 26Ul nge
Hayes upon ll.e bench, the following cases-
B. Landis vs. George Cumber.-
John Landis, of East Hempfield twp.,
divided his farm in his will between his
son, Michael B. Landis, and his daughter,
Mrs Elizabeth Leaman, Gamber was the
cropper during the year in which John
Landis died, receiving half of the crops.
This suit originated out of a dispute as to
the disposition of the other "Tialf.
Michael B. Landis claiming that he
was entitled to the landlord’s half of all
the crops grown on his part of the land,
while Mrs. Leaman contended that herself
and her brother should be considered as
tenants in common, and should divide
equally between them the landlord’s share
of all the crops grown. During this year
nearly the whole crop had been grown on
the son’s portion of the farm. The jury re
turned a verdict for the plaintiff, giving
him §230.03. The defendant applied for a
new trial. Kline and Livingston for plain-
LiflV Franklin and Swarr for defen
dant.
Isaac Mishler vs. David E. Potts. —Mish-
ler sought to recover fora bill of liquor.
Potts claimed as an offset, damages which
he hud suffered by reason of the non-de-
livery to him of a barrel of whiskey, which
Mishler’s agent, 1). M. Holton, had sold
him, and which had afLerwards advanced
in value §1 or more per gallon. The Court
charged the jury that as Potts hud not
proved a tender to Mishler of the price of
the barrel of whiskey, Mishler was entitled
to recover. The jury, however, did not
seem to agree with the Court in its view of
the law, and found for defendant $3.7)0,
which verdict the Court summarily set
aside. Ainwake for plaintiff, S. 11. Rey
nolds for defendant.
lut Slyer vs. Emanuel Shober.—The
plaintiff keeps a hotel at New Holland, and
boarded llie-driversofjthe defendant’s.stages.
He now sues for the amount ol'his bill, nut
the defendant alleges a contract with Stver’s
agent that the bill should be taken out in
liquors. The jury not considering the au
thority of the agent sufficiently well'shown,
found a verdict for the plainlilf in the sum
of §272.3.">. New trial applied for. .1 Hester
for plaintiff, Amwako for defendant.
1 luring t be second week of the trials, com
mencing December 3, .Judge Long on the
bench, the following cases'.were tried.
Mahlon Pusey A Son vs. Samuel McNeil
A Carter. 'l’liis was a suit on a promissory
given to a “substitute'’ and afterwards
coming into the hands of the plaintiffs.
Verdict for plaintiffs, §127.f)0. Kline for
plaintiffs, Hood for defendants.
Phebe L'nible and Jdcob I'mhle’s u se vs
Philip Hathaway. —The plaintiffs claimed
piopt-rly levied on by the Sheriff on an
execution of the defendant against Joseph
l’nible. Phebe was thewile of .Joseph, and
was compelled to prove clearly that the
properly was her separate estate and did
not belong to her husband. The jury ufler
being mil till three o'clock and losing their
dinners, sent word to the Court that they
had agreed upon every thing but the wagon,
and as to Hint there was no probability of
their ever agreeing, and asked to be dis
charged. Judge Long, however, turned a
deafear to their entreaty, andal'teru eoiiplc
of hours further reflection they found that
J:ienh Pin I >lo owned the wagon ami Phebe
“all the rest of the properly except the
horse and the pork in barrels.” So the
horse ami the pork go to Mr. Hathaway.
Dickey and Livingston for plaintitl's, Rey
nolds for defendant.
L. M. Evans vs. John Ammons. Amnions
told Evans he woiihl give him s2* fora cer-
tain cow, and he should leave heral a place
Ammons named. Evans did so, but Am
nions did not call lor the cow, and alter she
had eaten her head off, her landlord sold
lor her keep. As it was not shown that
Evans had notified Ammons that he ac
cepted his offer of §2S, the Court reserved
the point as to whether this should defeat
his recovery, and the jury found for the
plaintiff his §2s. Livingston and Good for
pluintilf; Reynolds for defendant. •
Reuben W. Kreiner vs. Gruider, Kicker
A Co. 'l’lie defendants were the owners of
a patent churn, which makes butter under
favorable circumstances in two minutes or
more, and contracted with Kreiner to nuild
them a number of them. K rciner did so,
but the def-Midants refused to lake them, al
leging that they were not made according
to ibe pattern furnished. The churns, il
seemed, leaked, and wouldn't hold the
cream. Kreiner lined them with tin, but
tlmL would not cure the evil. Thu question
was, whether it was Kreiner's J'ault that
the churns leaked or whether it was the
fan 1 1 of the churn itself, because of the
shockingly bad habit which wood has of
contracting and expanding, us it
dry or otherwise. Tliejurv found the churn
itself to be the guilty party, and gave the
plaint ill’ ijßoojO. Dickey- and Livingston
for plaintilf; Ellmaker for defendants.
Funny Trout vs. -lames Ward.—Action for
slander. Fanny and James lived in the
same house, and .lames accused bunny
very unjustly of stealing his coal, Asa
warning to Mr. Ward, to live at peace an ith
iiis neighbors ami to maintain a belle;
control over his longue, the Jury direclei
him to pay Funny s2tn». James was m
satisfied and asked for a new trial. M n
A. Wilson for defendant. Hrulmker f»

Krcderiok Ricker vs. The Inland lnsu
nee and Deposit Co. Mr. Richer laid a
iTHleulc of money deposited with tills
unpaiiy which, however, he lost, ami the
mipuny declined to pay him unless he
gave them a bond of Indemnity. Tl
Court decided, however, that us the ci
lleutc was not a negotiable Inslrumei
bond of indemnity was unnecessary a
ic jury therefore found for the plaint
the sum of $ln;H.-12.

made to hold him responsible for their
value, 'fhe jury found for the defendant,

The Surratt IJptTSP ,6yv#kt? by 4.Dan
oaster County Soldier— Report About
its being-Haunted.—The'bouse formerly:
occupied by the Surratt family was put up
as a prize at the National Concert Gift Dis
tribution for the benefitof the Soldiers’ and
Sailors’ Orphan Home fund/ held in Wash
ington last October. It was valued at §B,-
000, and was drawn by Israel Witwer, of
New Holland, this county. Mr. Witwer
had been a soldier in the Union army. He
went on to Washington with his attorney
to look at the property, and decided to rent
it. A Washington correspondent of the
Boston Post writes home the following im
probable story in regard to this mansion;
There is a three story brick tenement, in
the middle of a block, fronting upon one of
Washington’s lesser thoroughfares, that is
making itself peculiarly obnoxious to timid
people, and ridiculous to the stout-hearted.
The building in question is none other than
that belonging to Mrs. Surratt, executed as
one of the conspirators oi the assasination.
and in which she was apprehended and led
forth for accusation and the gallows. In the
course of settlement of her estate, the house
in question was offered for sale, and even
then the public seemed shy and indifferent
to the purchase, and so it came that a prop
erty, worth, by moderate computation, $lO,-
000, fell under the hammer at the insignifi
cant sum of $4,600. The new landlord,
therefore, instituted such improvements as
completely changed the aspect ofthe prop
erty, and all but transferred its site, and in
the course of time came a tenant, but not to
remain. In leas than six weeks the lessee
bad flown from beneath the roof, forfeited
his year’s rent, and was ready to swear with
ebatteringthat his nervoussystem was shat
tered for a lifetime.
Others succeeded to the occupancy of the
house he had vacated, in turn, to make a
shuddering exit. Mrs. Surratt's house is
haunted. There can bo no reasonable doubt
upon the subject. She borself persists in
treading its halls, and perambulating the
premises, in the dead of night, clad in those
self same robes of serge in which she suffer
ed tlie penally of the law. In costume,she
differs from the “ woman in white ” unmis-
takably, but that the general effect is none
the less thrilling and altogether fatal to the
composure of the observer, is positively
averred by each successive occupant of the
mansion.' People who reside within ad
joining walls are not troubled with either
sights or sounds hut they begin to have a
wholesome dread of the mansion in their
midst, and Imvu actually procured a re
duction of their rental upon the ground of
exposure to an uimbatable nuisance. Thus
the whole of a very common place neigh
borhood is infected with a funev that keeps
them within doors of nights, aim causes the
local juveniles to abandon their games in
the oourt-vards with the sinking of thesun.
Indian Relics Exhumed.—We clip the
following interesting item from the Colum
bia .Spy of this morning:
In the excavations now being made by
the Reading A Columbia Railroad Compa
ny, on the old site of tho Susquehanna Plan
ing Mill, the remains of many Indians have
been exhumed. Occasionally the workmen
discover relics which appear to have been
deposited with their bodies at interment.—
The present week they have disinterred the
skeletons of several bodies, together with
un earthen bowl in a good state of preser
vation and curiously wrought, and which,
to the antiquarian, would be an object of
interest. The location on which these an
cient relics are found, is situated on the
property recently purchased irmn the heirs
of John L. Wright, doc’d, direellv on the
river front of the old dwelling, which lias
so many historical associations of olden
limes connected with it.
Who knows but that the exhumed bones
make some ofthe living of to day shudder?
Many of our citizens are aware that in the
days’of “ Know-Nothingism” and “Thug
gery,” political parlies had u midnight ren
dezvous in that vicinity, at a place culled
the “Owl's Nest.” Then and there sumo
unwilling victim, not wishing to make the
usual sacrifices, might have been taken out
at the “ west gate” and ignoniiniously mur
dered. Who knows?
('on’MiiiA Affairs.—From the JJerald
we glean the following items:
Dr. V. Hinkle has purchased the splen
did residence ol' E. K. Smith on 2nd Street,
for the sum of §10,1)00.
A needle was extracted from the right
thigh of an intuit: -mi of Jas. McGinnis, by
one of our physicians. 11 was supposed to
huvo been swullowed by the child.
Tlu* Columbia Eire Company intend
having a set of Base Bull Implements at
llieir coming Fair, to be presented to the
Club receiving the highest number of votes.
The Ball is to be of silver uml the Bats will
bo silver mounted. We believe every Club
in the country will be afforded a chance to
secure the prize. They cost about $77).00.
('ii Saturday evening, Ist inst,, Constable
McGinnis picked up an ill-dad young
woman nearly exhausted with cold, anu
conveyed her to the Town Hall. He found
her on tlie steps of the Lutheran Church.
She gave her name as Katy Brown, and
told different stories in regard Jo her place
of residence. She was partially insane and
said she left home because her mother
would not allow her to hang herself. She
was placed in the Cellar for safe keeping,
but during the night she broke all the win
dows and in the morning was found in the
market yard, in a state bordering un
nudity. She was taken to Lancaster on
Sunday.
On Saturday the “Columbia Engine and
Hose Carriage" was deposited in the new
Engine J louse.
(iotleib Young, of Lancaster, has leased
the Hrewery of Michael Kreiner, corner of
-Ith and Walnut streets, in this place, and
intends furnishing prime beer.
During Saturday night last, two rafts lie
longing to Mr. Wolcott, ol Addison, N. Y.,
were lorn loose from Their moorings, at the
wharf of the Reading A'Columbia Rnilroad,
and went over the dam. Mr. W., had been
nearly two years getting his lumber tomar
ket, it having been rafted in the spring of
’<>-1. He had used every precaution in
securing them dining Saturday, but the
water rose very last in the night and swept
them nib (>u "Sunday morning the river
was higher than it had been at any lime
since the great Hood of iMll, Mr. Wolcott's
loss is about $2,500.
one day last week, I’hilip Carr, residing

work with an nxo over his shoulder, and
stepping on a rock, slipped and fell on tho

above llie elbow, laying the tlesh open to
the bone. Tho wound was very sorlous but
Is prospering llnely.

writtings oi ( eminent theologians of modern
times, in support of the belief in the Im-
maculate Conception, and it was on the au
thority of these writings that thePope(Pius
IX), speaking as the mouthpiece of the
assembled, prelates of the world, declared,
“It is a dogma of the faith that the blessed
Virgin Mary, from the first instant of her
conception, by a singular privilege and
grace of God, in virtue of the merits of
Jesus Christ, the Saviour of mankind, was
preserved perfectly free from all stain of
original sin.’’
Butter Costs More than Flour.—
After some inquiry, we estimate that in a
family of ten persons, including two or
three children between three’ and eight
years old, a barrel of flour lusts 36 days.
This is nearly the general average, of a bar
rel of flour a year for each full grown per
son. The same family (of ten) consumes
an average li tbs. of butter per day, or 2
oun es each, including that used in cooking.
The average retail price here, for good arti
cles, is about $l4 per barrel for flour, and
40c. per pound for butter. At these figures,
it Lakes $lB worth of butter to use up $l4
worth of flour —or an excess of $6.50, equiva
lent to 40 per cent. If we reduce the butter
to 1 lt>. per day, or 1 3-sths ounces each, its
cost will be slightly greater than tlie flour.

New I'sk for Birdseed.— An exchange
"hu vs: “ The present increased price of bird
seed is measurably accounted for by its
having eotue so generally into use by many
of our ladies at tlie present lime for the pur
peseof improving llieir forms.'' A religious
colemporary innocently says: “It seems
by the manner of its use that it will deceive
the most wary. It issaid to be enclosed in
small bags adupted to the proper size ami
shape uml attached in some peculiar way
to the underclothing, so that at the motion
of the body the bagged birdseed moves
so as to resemble very much living flesh.
'l’liis is doubtless a great improvement
over that of cotton and curled hair,
so extensively in use in former times,
ami must in time universally super
sede it.” The same cotemporary speaks
out loiuliv against the use (or abuse) of
birdseed. ~ U says: “ Doubtless many un
happy marriages have resulted from such
deceptions arising from such sources.
.Mothers, do your duly, and tuke this mat
ter in hand, by seeking to exercise that
influence and authority with which you
are invested bv your relative position. As
guardians of the welfare ofthe social com
pact, wo deem il our duly to take the lead
til this reform.”
We give the above item, as wo find it go
ing the rounds of the press. We do not bo
lieve a word of it. The “religions colcm
porary” must be edited by some acetic and
dyspeptic old bachelor. But then, how
should a bachelor know anything about
such a matter, and particularly the baclie
lor editor of a “religious colemporary ?’
Sure enough, how should lie? Wo conless
wo aro puzzled muchly.

BCHENCK’S MEDICINES.—To cure Consumption,
the system moat be prepared so that tbs lungs will
heal. To accomplish this, the liver and stomach
must first be cleansed and an ai petite created for
good wholesome food, which, by these medicines will
be digested properly, and good healthy bipod made;
thus building up the constifntioo. Scbenck*s Man*
drake Pills cleanse the stomach of all billons or mn
cuous accumulations; and, by using the Sea Weed
Tonic Id connection, theappetlte is restored.
SOILh'NCK’S PULMONIC STBUP Is nutritious as
well as medicinal, and, by using the three remedies;
all impurities are expelled from the system, and good,
wholesome blood made, which will repel all disease.
If patients will take these medicines according to di
rections, Consumption very frequently In its last stage
yields readily to their action. Take the pills fre
quently, to cleanse the liver and stomach. It does
not follow that because the bowels are not costive they
are not required, for sometimes In dlarrhcea they are
necessary. The stomach most be kept healthy, and
an appetite created to allow the Pulmonic Syrup to
act on the respiratory orgaos properly and allay any
Irritation. Then all that Is required to perform a per
manent cure is, to prevent taking cold. Exercise
about the rooms as much as possible, eat all the rich
est food—fat meat, game, and, in fact, anything the
appetite craves; but be particular and masticate well
