William E. Heinitsh. Israel L. Landis, Jog - a M.Stehman,Casper Hiller and Jacob B. Garber were elected members. •• • Prof. Rathvon made a verbal report, stating that he bad,according to instructions procured the publication of the Constitution, Rules of Order, names of the officers anti members of the Society, in pamphlet form, and moved that the Constitution and Rules of Order, as printed, be adopted. The motion was adopted. Mr. Itathvon also read an address to the people of Lancaster county, on the advantages of Horticultural and other similar societies. On motion, the committee on publication was instructed to ask the publishers of the newspapers of the county to insert the address in their columns. On motion of H. M. Engle, the following resolution was adopted: Resolved, That honorary and corresponding members may . become active members by paying the usual fee of one dollar annually, but the Society, by a vote of a majority of the members present, may collier the rights and privileges of active membership upon any honorary or corresponding member whom it niuy deem entitled to them without paying said fee. Prof. Rathvon read die following article In relation to connections existing between ornithology and Entomology, and their relations to agriculture. The question of the position which birds occupy as protectors of the various productions of the soil, against the destructions caused by noxious insects, is one that is engaging the attention of the whole agricultural world, and the examin ation of the stomachs of birds at different seasons of the year, reveals the fact of what their food consists in, at those different periods. And here permit me to say, that although examinations by different indi viduals have been made during the last five years, Ma large number of bird's stomachs, and although thousands of insects of various kinds have been found in them, yet I can not recall a single recorded instance, in which the rareatio, that destroys Mir plums, cherries, A:c., was found. I have a faint impression that Dr. Trimble, State Entomologist of New Jersey, on a single occasion, found a few. Many birds that feed tin seeds and fruits, feed on insects of different kinds, before those seeds and fruits are in season, and therefore, they perhaps prevent a great deal more injury from insect depredations, than they them selves could possibly inflict upon the crops they feed on, while they are In season. For Instance, the author of "Anderson's Re create ins - says, that doctor Bradly has computed (hal a pair Of English sparrows carried La their young, in one week, nut less than three thousand three hundred and sixty caterpillars, in which rite, in the course of three months, tins family would consume .13,0110,nsti caterpillars. We have various species in sparrows in this country, similar in habits to the English species. botany man, therefore, compute the damage of these caterpillars, and the iiilinite pro geny that are likely to have issued trout them, had they been permitted to reach the winged state, inch he nisty thou see haw Wise it is to destroy a bird, because it chooses to make a descent now and then fai fruit, after its long SlaiSall of animal Mod. I venture It, say, that even the much hated crow has claims to our consideration, for the grubs and cutworms he feeds upon at certain seasons of the year. The following officers to serve fur the en suing year, were then elected : Pesident, Levi S. Heist; Vice Presidents, A. H. Hos tetter, C. 11 iller, W. L. I hilenderfer, Jacob B.

A red ti).x was seen crossing the ice on New Year's day; a half mile above town. Reynard commenced the new year by changing his residence from Lancaster to York county, in a very leisurely manner, not being molested by.rnan or dog during his transit.

ILL ED ON Till: RA I I.ROA n.—Captain Leonard held an inquest, lust evening, on the body of Michael Hostetter, a German, woo was killed near the Gap Station by the Lancaster U o'clock train going East.

When I stopped, the man was on the cow catcher of the locomotive. The distance front where I first HIM hint was about one hundred and fifty yards; his body was carried about seventy-five yards. 1 supposed at the time he was one of the repair men. Dr. I lens toll, who examined the body, found no marks on it, but supposed the shock was sufficient to cause his death. The verdict was, accidentally killed while walking on the railroad. nE.R...

STOLEN PROPERTY RECoV ERED.—(i uided by the confession of John Clark, who was arrested tier horse stealing, officer Baker found the horse and sleigh belonging to eorge I nsley, of New .lersey, and for which a reward of two hundred dollars was of fered, at the public house of Lewis Suter, in this city. 'File Sheriff of 'Alontour coun ty, having been notified of Clark's arrest, came here and took hill into custody for a Hinnlar ffll . ,•nee, paying officer Baker the reward offered. The prisoner, in the custody of the sheriff at the Depot this morning, attracted a large crowd. He was coolly smoking his segar, and was accompanied by his wife, a young - woman of line personal appearance. CATTLE WMG HT.—The only instrument necessary is a measure with feet and inches marked upon it. The girth is the distance around the animal just behind the shoulder blades. The superficial feet are obtained by multiplying the girth by the length. The following table contains the rule to ascertain the weight of the animal : If less than one foot in girth, multiply superficial feet by eight. If less than three and more than one, multiply superficial feet by eleven. If less than five and more than three multiply superficial feet by sixteen. If less than seven and more than five, multiply superficial feet by twenty-three. If less than eleven and more than nine, multiply superficial feet by Forty-two. Exfunple: Suppose the girth of a bullock to be six feet three inches; length five feet six inches; superficial area will then be 34, and in accordance with the preceding table the weight will be 782 pounds. example; Suppose a pig to measure in girth 2 feet, and in length Ifbotand 9 inches. There will be 31, feet, which multiplied by 11, gives 381, pounds as the weight of the animal when dressed. In this way the weight of the tour quarters can be ascer tained substantially during the life of the animal.

Franklin lima of t;ordonville, Lancaster county, Pa., also obtained letters patent for Improvement in Harvester Rakes, dated the same day, Jan. 8, 1867. This is a sim ple, durable and highly efficient raking attachment and performs its office with perfect satisfaction. Both said patents were obtained through the agency of J. StautTer of this city. A Farr,—No reader of a newspaper is fully posted in regard to the news of the day until he has read the advertisements. The idea that the advertising columns of a paper are devoid of interest to all save buyers and sellers, is a grossly mistaken notion ; it is history, and, as such, interests every oue.

Danneesschool gave their teacher a "sound cane.ing," by presenting him with a splended silver headed cane as a New Year's Gift. It is a very beautiful one, made of ebony wood, and the silver part exquisitely carved.

M. church in this place have long since felt the want of a large house of worship, and now, adding to this, the decaying condition of their old house, they feel themselves compelled to build. To accomplish this they will have to appeal to their generous and charitable neighbars assistance, and it is hoped they will meet with a liberal response. FELL AND BROKE HIS AR:M.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. B. Lisner, who had been clerking at the Hoop Skirt Manufactory of A. Soinmerfelt, slipped on the ice in front of the McGraun House, fell and broke his arm immediately above the elbow. It seems the water used in scrubbing out the bar-room had been allowed to run out and freeze on the pavement.

ABRAHAM ZOOK'S FUNERAL—The fune ral of Abraham Zook, one of the brothers who was murdered near Vicksburg, took place yesterday. The attendance was large. Up to this time we believe no clue to the perpetrators has been discovered. SUICIDE AT MARIETTA:—John McDuff, residing at Marietta, and engaged in haul ing flour, committed self destruction by taking poison, on last Saturday. He purchased arsenic at Libhart's drug store, stating that he wished it for killing rats. Instead of using it for this purpose, he seems to have taken it himself. The first dose, however, was too large, and produced vomiting. A second was more effectual, and the patient died from its effects, this morning. The deceased was ofintemperate habits.—L'xpreva. Counains AFFAlns.—Weclip the follow ing items from the Columbia Herald: Sales of Real Estate.—H. S. Suydam sold his house and lot, on Front Street, below Union, for $3,000. Andrew Baker, pur chaser. Martin Erwin bought the Franklin House of S. 8. Miller, on the afternoon of the 9th inst., at privatesale, for $13,000. Vamoosed.—A rascal, named Hayward, arrived in this place on Saturday and put up at the Franklin House. He pretended to be an agent fur the Panorama of the Holy Land and called upon some of our ministers, with what success we do not know. He remained until Tuesday and vamoosed without paying his board. Landlords, look out for him. The Ice Bridge.—For a few days last week, notwithstanding the river was closed, toll was collected for crossing with a team. It appears that a distance of several feet re mained open, and certain parties havingan eye to business bridged it and exacted toll from all who crossed. There was no reme dy, as a landing could not be effected on Walnut street, and at Locust where one could be effected, the road was blocked up by the Railroad. Our Chief Burgess viewed the scene and at once instituted operations whereby a landing could be effected at Walnut, but the parties owning the other bridge agreed to sell out for $2O. -.. $1,44 7 83 .... 722 04 .... Z 4 17 Still at Work—The Columbia and Port Deposit Railroad Company is destroying Front street about as effectually as it can be done. All Filled.—The ice-houses in our bor ougn are about all filled, and with the finest lot of ice ever before secured. The following were elected Dirktors of the lat National Bank on Wednesday last: Robert Crane, J. W. Steacy, J. C. Stauffer, H. N. Kehler, E. K. Smith, H. H. Houston, John McTague, Jacob Seitz, Jno. Fendrich. And on the same day, the following Di rectors of the Columbia National Bank were elected : James Myers, George W. Mehaffy, George Bogle, Henry Hinkle, Cornelius Tyson, Henry Copenheffer, John Cooper, George C. Franciscus. Alrong—The competition between the rival tnule-drivers for passengers to cross the river on the ice. Borough Election.—Our borough election on Monday passed oil very quietly, the vote being about une • third as large a.s that polled at the last Gubernatorial election. The republicans nominated a straight out ticket at a meeting called " by order of the County Committee." A portion of the republican party vivre not satisfied with the nominations as made at the straight out meeting for Councilmen, and the result was a second ticket was made, consisting of two regulars, one demo crat and two irregular republicans. The mixture of seven republicans and one de mocrat, out of which to select live Council men, was a little too strong a dose for the rank and tile of the democratic party, who done more swearing than voting, and staid at home, which accounts for the small de mocratic vote on the State ticket, and proves conclusively that democracy and radicalism can never mix. The result put four new Councilmen into the board, all radicals. For some reason the soothsayers in draft- 101 13 ISO 50 86 00 14,- 0,2i13 20 10,710 00 95 U 0 203 75 1,:001 NO 20 142 50 ing the new Charter did not get in the re striction limiting us to one constable as under the old charter. The loyal did not discover the omission, nominated but one in the first ward and run him in all three; the result was, the Democrats run a con stable in the second and third wards, with out opposition, and elected them.

While they remain white, a misfortune likely to attend them all their lives, they never can succeed in arousing the sympathies of their Boston employers. Elsewhere working people are agitating for the eight hour system, and success will crown their efforts; but in Lowell people must expect harder work and longer hours, in order that red flannel jackets and tract missions to the unborn babes of Africa shall be sustained.

The affair creates great excitement there. moved the House of Representatives ad journ without listening to the President's Message, was more than equaled by the New Jersey legislator, who adjourned after hearing the first few lines of Governor Ward's Message, and gave the rest the go by for the day. At Santa Cruz, California, on the 15th' ult., a Justice Rehouse was trying one C. J. Richards for trespass, when the friends of the prisoner came in, hauled the justice off the bench, and tarred and feathered him all over. The severe punishment of one day's imprisonment was meted out to the playful violators of the ermine. From ail parts of Wisconsin come com plaints of a lack of snow. Much injury to winter wheat is feared, and the operations of lumbermen, who have been calculating on getting out more logs than ever, are greatly interfered with. In some instances lumbermen have withdrawn their men from the woods. During the week ending the 9th about two thousand emigrants arrived at the port of New York. Letters from the Liverpool ship and steamer agents ( who make it their business to know) predict that the emigra tion to America, not only from Ireland, but the Continent, the cooling spring and summer, will he the greatest on record. On Friday, the 4th inst., A. Pershing, Esq., of Bullskin township, Fayette county, killed a blacksnake measuring nearlS , six feet in length. The reptile had succeeded in traveling about the length of Mself from its den, on the snow, which was about tour inches deep. John Boyle, who was tried at York for the murder of George Squibb, has been ac quitted. There are still two other indictments against him—one for the murder of Mrs. Squibb, the other for the grandchild. These indictments, unless abandoned sooner, will be disposed of at the April court. A gang of horse thieves, are operating in Washington county, Penna. They palm themselves off as wool buyers, and have succeeded admirably in pulling wool over the eyes of the unsuspecting farmers. The commission appointed to investigate the alleged insanity of Newton Champion, convicted of murder, report him to be a dan gerous lunatic, and no death warrant will be issued. About fifty boats. mostly loaded with coal, were frozen up during the recent cold snap at various points along the line of the Schuylkill Navigation. Advantage will be taken of the first thaw to re-open the Canal so as to enable these boats to reach their destination and discharge their cargo. The case of the Maguire farm, on which Tidioute is located, which was decided a few days ago by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, in favor of the Pittsburgh claimants, N. P. Sawyer and others, it seems has not been finally adjudicated. The case will now be carried to tho Supreme Court of the United States. In Waterford township, Erie county, the other day, Miss Addie Haskell was so in jured by a refractory pupil that her life is despaired of. The pupil, a girl named Wells, was insubordinate, and Miss Has kell undertook to punish her, when Miss Wells grappled with her, and threw her so neavily against one of the benches that her spine was injured to such an extent that Miss Haskell is only sane an hour or two in the twenty-four. Iles lite also is despaired of. Mr. Haskell, the father of the sufferer, is about to commence proceedings against Miss Wells for the savage assault. The citizens of Gettysburg, and of Adams county, who contributed so liberally to resist Lee's invasion in 180, have inaugurated steps to obtain indemnity for all those who suffered in their property by the invasion and during the battle of Gettysburg. A committee, head ed by Edward Nl'Pherson, was appointed at a late meeting, to lobby the bill through the Legislature,• and funds are being col lected to defray their expences " in going to Harrisburg to present claims, Aic." In this instance the "&c." is quite significant. The Gettysburg people contend that the principle of the appropriation they claim, was recognized in the case of the citizens of Chem bersburg, to whom an appropriation of $600,000 was made. On Friday evening last the large brick tannery establishment of Mr. Henry Bay lor, situated at the foot of King street, and fronting on Northern Central Railroad, at York, Pa., with all its contents was destroy ed by tire. It contained some valuable ma chinery, &c., ali of which was rendered nearly worthless. The origin of the fre is unknown. The loss is reported to be quite heavy. Mr. B. holds a policy of insurance in the Home Fire Insurance Company of New York, but whether sufficient to cover his losses was not ascertained. While the Laurel Fire Company was proceeding to the fire, one of its members, Clayton Hartman, accidentally slipped on the ice and fell, the engine passing over his right foot, severely mashing it. At an adjourned court, held recently in Beaver, before Associate Judges Lawrence and Duff, the case of James 11. Hogan, charged with involuntary msinslaughter, was brought up. The facts are as follows : The defendant is an engineer on the Pitts burg, Fort Wayne and Chicago,Railway. He stopped his train in New Brighton for aye or ten minutes, and then started it without giving due notice, while passengers were getting out, and in consequence of this, a little boy who was standing on the plat form of one of the cars, fell off, and was run over and killed. Defendant was held in $l,OOO bail for appearances at adjourned court January 23, 1807.

Stevens' bad breeding, when ho On Christmas evening, as Mr. William Meanor, of Green township, Beaver county, was sitting by a light in his room, he was fired at through the window by some per son without. The ball, after passing through the glass, lodged in the window casing, from which it was cut out the next morning. From the position occupied by Mr. Nfeanor, and course of the ball, it is thought that the intention was murder. The would-be as- sassin tied Untnediately after tiring and is unknown; suspicion does not even attach to any one. Mr. Meanor is a quiet, orderly citizen, and is not known to have au enemy in the world. A sensation was created in Girard, Pa., last Friday, by the abduction of a little girl named Mclntyre, nine years ot age, daugh ter of M. F. Mclntyre, from one of the schools of Girard. On the evening preced ing, a gentleman and two ladies arrived at Girard, by rail, and the next morning one of the ladies consulted a lawyer as to get ting possession of the little girl, she claim ing to be her mother. The lawyer would not assist her, and the ladies then called at the Academy, when the young Miss imme diately recognized one ot the visitors as her mother. The two ladies immediately left the school with the girl, and took the first train for Pittsburg, en route for California, where the mother resides. While in Girard, the lady stated she had married Mclntyre some years ago in Michigan, but left him with their daughter, owing to ill-treatment, and started for California, where her rela tives resided. The husband followed, ab ducted the girl from her mother, and moved to Girard. Mrs. Mclntyre subsequently got a divorce, married a wealthy gentle man of California, and for nearly a year has been hunting her child. How she succeed ed in finding her we have already stated. Mother and daughter are now well on their way to California. Mr. Mclntyre, who re mains in Girard, stoutly asserts that the mother of the child was murdered by the Indians, while the lady in question holds and exhibits her marriage certificate, as well as the documents of her divorce from Mr. M. The fact that the little girl recog nized, at the school, her mother in the lady I who called for her, would :earn conclusive. The Sky an Indicator of the Weather The color of the sky at particular times affords wonderful good guidance. Not only does a rosy sunset presage good weather, and a ruddy sunrise bad weather, but there are other tints which speak with equal clearness and accuracy. A bright yellow sky in the evening indicates wind ; a pale yellow, wet ; a neutral gray color constitutes a favorable sign in the evening, and an un favorable one in the morning. The clouds are again full of meaning in themselves. If their forms are soft, undefined, full and feathery, the weather will be fine: if their cdges are hard, sharp and definite, it will be foul. Generally speaking, any deep, unusual hues betoken wind and rain, while the more quiet and delicate tints bespeak fair weather. These are simple maxims, and yet not so simple but that the Britisth Board of Trade has thought fit to publish them for the use of sea-Paling men. Penn* , lraula Coil Trade Another year's business having just closed, we have made up, as far as practi cable, an account of the coal transported on the canals and railroads of Pennsylvania forthe twelve months ending December, 1866. It will be seen that there has 'been a large increase in the product during the ppeesat year as compared with 1865, although during the later part of 1866 prices declined considerably. Our coal trade increases with great rapidity, because eight States receive their principal supply of this indis pensable article from the practically inex haustible mines of our State; but in the last year it has progressed rather too fast, for the increase was as great as the annual increase in Great Britain. Coal (tons) transported on the following mproyements in 1866: 1868. 1865. Reading Railroad, 3, 7 14,684 00 3,09(1,812 00 Schuylkill Canal, 1,297,045 13 1,066 302 00 Lehigh Valley R.

Agricultural Report. The December report of the Agricultural Department just published contains a va riety of important matter, facts and sugges gestions, concerning Southern industry and resources. A history of cotton insects by practical entomologists, besides valuable statistics from foreign official sources, are among its interesting matter. The Com missioner represents that the corn erop of the States, exclusive of 11 Southern and the Pacific States, was estimated for 1865 in round numbers at 704,000,000 bushels. The same States in 1866 yielded an estimated product of 079.000,000, a decline of 25,000,000 bushels in quantity; a deficiency in quality equivalent to 75,000,000 more, making a difference in the feeding value of the crop of 100,000,000 bushels between this and the previous year. In regard to the cotton crop it is believed that the following table, c re' fully prepared, gives the total number of bales manufactured during the past year.: North Carolina, 91,000. South Carolina, 102,000. Georgia, 205,000. Florida, 36,000. Alabama, 220,000. Mississippi, 270,000. Louisiana, 109,000. Tecias, 300,000. Ar kansas, 182,000. Tennessee, 148,000. 1,663,- 001). Other States, 87,000. Total. 1,750,000. Fifteen Thousand Dollars Worth of Re trenchment. During the last session of Congress a com mittee on retrenchment was appointed for the ostensible purpose of cutting down the expenses of the government. It was thought by many persons at the time the committee was appointed that the heads of the various departments were better qualified than any body else to keep down their expenses, but the idea seemed to prevail that the com mittee would In some mysterious way do a heavy business in the money-saving line. The next news we get of this body is con tained in a resolution that has just passed Congress appropriating "fifteen thousand dollars tbr the expenses of the retrenchment committee." It seems, therefore, that re• trenchment is a very expensive luxury. Luxuries are well enough under certain circumstances, but in view of the present heavy indebtedness of the government, and the consequent necessity of economy, we consider it imprudent to indulge in any more retrenchment at present.—N. F. Sen. IBIEFfET At a recent meeting of the Boston Numes matte Society a silver dollar of Maximilian, Emperor of Mexico, was exhibited. The Emperor's peculiar beard is so drawn as to present, when the coin is reversed, the appearance of the head of a donkey. The members entered into a curious and learned discussion as to whether this was an intentional piece of satire on the part of the artist, but it is not impossible that it may have been caused by the difficulty of repre senting the style of beard worn by his Majesty. ll= LEA VENWORTH, Kansas, Jan. 4.—Wm. Van Deventer and wife were murdered on the evening of the.29th ult., at Ifickman's Mills, Monroe county, Missouri. They were tired upon through the window, Mr. Van Deventer being instantly killed, and the wife surviving, in an unconscious state, until morning. Three negroes and two white men are supposed to have committed the murder. They escaped with $BOO in gold stolen from the house. Cheap Living in Texas In Colin county, Texas, pork sells for six cents, eggs at ten cent+ a dozen, wheat one duller a bushel, and dour four dollars a hundred weight. Corn is rattled off at fifty cents a bushel. These rates are for specie. In that portion of Texas one dollar of United States paper currency is worth only two•thirds of a silver dollar. In Rusk county mast-fed pork readily brings six cents, corn-fed seven cents. There is au abundant supply of food in that region, particularly of hog and hominy. East Texas is unquestionably one of the best countries in the world for raising pork. The Nashville Banner learns " on good authority" that a gentleman who was re cently identified very prominently with the oil interests of Tennessee, and who had held a high command in the Federal army during the war, lost over fifty thousand dollars by locating wells under the direc tion of "water" or "oil witches." So im plicit was his faith in this ridiculous super stition of the nineteenth century, that he was compelled to return home an utter bankrupt.
