Wednesday Afm•ning.--Coneth Vs. Wilt, Haney. Selling unwholesome beet. This celebrated ease, ,if which our renders pro bably recollect something, as a full account of it was published in the papers at the time oi its occurrence, was attached this morning. Battey is a butcher at Bainbridge, nd some ti me last sutnmer purchased from s neighboring farmer an ox, which had a large lump on its neck that became at times a running sore. A Winebrennarian camp meeting was being held near Bainbridge at the time, and Valley being an adherent of that Church, the contractor for furnishing loud to the camp meeting was required to purchase his meat from him. Most of this OX was disposed of in this way. Numerous witnesses were examined for the prosecu tion this morning. The q uestion iu the case is, us to whether this sore on the neck ren dered the meat unwholesome, and the LW, liniony will doubtless be v,ry eontlicting. Thar,,,big Morning. vs. Batley. The jury in this ease—an indictment for selling diseased meat went out last even ing about six o'clock, and remained out until two o'elook A. B. morning they brought in a sealed verdict, acquitting Haney, but di reeling hint to pay one-third of the costs, and the complainant h, pay the remaining two-thirds. Smith and Dickey were for the defimse, and \V. A. Wilson, with the District Attorney, for the Commonwealth. Corn'th vs. I lenry Rambo, (colored.) The defendant lives in Marietta, and is charged with UM licious mischief by Mr • Grier, an other colored gentleman, in cutting off with an axe the wooden pillars upon which rest .ed the palace in which said Grier resided, in that lovely borough. The difficulty arose out of a dispute as to the title to the elegant mansion upon which the damage was inflicted. An honest old darkey named Emanuel Kane, a veritable " Uncle Torn " in appearance, and a hominy manufacturer by profession, testified that he bought the property some 20 years ago from Dr. Houston, Sr., but afterwards be coming embarrassed by reason of the failure of ce.rtain extensive business enterprises in which he had engaged, he gave a deed fur the house to Dr • Cashman, :Ls collateral security fur the payment to him of some $BO, which security was afterwards trans ferred to a Mr. Whipper, of Columbia. Grier rented half of the house from Kane in 1861, agreeing to pay as rent $2O per annum, and to have transferred to himself Kane's obli gation to Whipper. In 1804 Kane wanted a settlement with Grier, which he does not seem to have got ;, but Grier then got a lease of the house from Whipper. In 1865 Kane sold half of the house to Rainbow, a returned soldier, and offered to pay oft rier the amount of his indebtedness, whirl' he refused to take. Recourse was then had to Squire Brown. The Squire testified that he could make nothing out of Grier; that "he would neither lead nor drive," and Ile therefore, under a recent act of Assembly, which he somewhat astonished the Court and the District Attorney by calling to their attention, issued his warrant to the con stable to dispossess him; when this was done, however, (trier turns around and gets a warrant to tumble out of the house, in their absence, the goods and chattels of both Kane and Rambo, and they were accord ingly Dimpled. Rainbow afterwards ap• preached the house armed with an axe, and attempts to demolish the shanty in the presence of the inmates, who, drinking po tations pottle deep out of a gallon demijohn of whiskey, look on in deep amaze while the sail havoc is being wrought. This is the whole case, and after learned disquisi tions from counsel, and a protbund charge from the Court, the jury retire to a dispas sionate deliberation of the great questions involved ; soon returning, they find the de fendant not guilty, but divide the costs be tween him and the complainant Grier, Baker for defence; Price, with District At torney, for the Commonwealth. niar.sday Afterneen.—Com'th vs. Levi Miller. Resisting a tax collector. The de.sudant was the tenant on the farm ()I' Erb in the northern part of the county. Erbhuii ITMOVed l llliol . llloStuleandjlemand was made by the tax collector, Mellinger, on the tenant for the amount of tax, some $4OO due by Erb. Miller refused to pay any more titan the lac due upon the farm, some $27 which alone be could be compelled to pay. This Mellinger refused to take and finally proceeded to make a levy upon Miller's cattle. Miller brought. out his gun and told him that If he took any of his prop erty th&re would be blood spilled. :Mellinger desisted but afterwards returned with a suuall artny.of six, the second in command, being armed with a latest improved repeat ing Spencer cavalry carbine, bayonetted, which he bore ut a carry arms ; Mellinger himself flourished a revolver, while the privates relied upon the virtues of dung forks and shilleluhs. Arrived upon the scene of action the enemy was observed armed with a musket, occupying a corn- WU tiding position on the barn Boor. tlap• lain Mellinger, having posted a detach ment of his forces to cover his flank and observe the enemy's movements, en tered the stable and led forth u horse. Miller, seeing that the time for action had arrived, charged down upon him, but was intercepted by the cprps of observation and .overthrown ; in the shock of meeting, his Anusket was discharged, putting an abrupt ,termination to the litb of the barnyard ,rooster, who was observing the conflict , from u neighboring perch. Prostrate upon .the ground, the Lieutenant's bayonet to his breast, Miller surrendered. By the terms of the capitulation (modeled atter those of Grunt to Lea,) upon payment of the tax de manded, he was permitted to retain his side arms and his horses and to return babe bosom of his family. The tax. gatherer's ?party, however like the Radicals in Con gress, in violation of their faith, are now • attempting to deprive Miller of his liberty and his property for the acts of tear by hint .committed. The Jury found the defendant not gull . In but directed him to pay the costs. Hit ,for defence. This case closed the business of the week And the Court adjourned. THE NEW PATEZ'r COOS ST(TV.B.- , -The attention of those interested inprocuring the best Cook Stove in the market, is directed to the advertisement of Marsh - bank &Mar - tin, Iron Pounders and Stove Manufacturers of this city, Their new Patent Nimrod Ccok Stove, after a fair test, isnow admitted by all who have practically tested its ad vantages, to be superior to anything in that line heretofore known in the market. But one fault has been found with it. and, we suppose this will be:regarded EIS a good fault. The objection too all other flat-top Cook stoves of which we have any practical know ledge, has • been the difficulty of maintain ing a uniform, heat in the oven—the degree of heat which would bake a loaf of bread or pie properly on the bottom scorching the top crust. This objecttion is entirely over come by Mr. Marshbank's icatent cut-off flues, which hold the heat in the bottom of the oven, baking the bottom of a pie as quickly and as uniformly as the top. The " good fault" we speak of, is its extraordi nary draft. • Where other cook stoves required all the power of a good chimney to get even a tolerable heat in the oven, the "Nimrod" has to be bridled down With closed dampers to keep it under control. The advantages of this will be apparent to any one who has any experience in working steam boilers. It is to gain a similar result that such immense stacks are built for steam manufacturers—to give the engineer com plete control of his fires. This great advan tage is secured to the cook in the use of the Nimrod Cooking Stove, and - we are con& dent when this peculiarity is once under stood, the Nimrod will rule the market. There are many other modern improve ments in this stove, which are set forth in the advertisement, and to which we direct the attention of the reader. AIORAVIAN AFFAIRS.—The catalogue of Linden Hull, the Moravian Seminary for young Ladies at Litiz, Pa., has been issued It affords gratifying evidence of the con tinued prosperity of the Institution, and of its popular sympathy and support under Its present able and gentlemanly Principal. It ranks among the foremost educational institutes of the country. The Moravian congregation at Bethlehem have decided to remodel and transform the interior of their large ancient church edifice, and carpenters have already commenced upon the work of improvement. The old style benches are to give way to pews, the doors to be shifted to inure convenient posi tions, and other modern improvements, both in regard to style, and comnal, and convenience, introduced. The pews will not, however, be rented, the old regulation regarding the seats to remain in force. The estimated cost of the alteration in the build ing is $15,000. The stated Triennial meeting of the Pro vincial Synod of this Church has been ap pointed to take place at Litiz, Lancaster county, on the 22d day of May next. EcTim.—Mathew M. Strickler, Collec tor, and Davis A. Brown, Assessor of Internal Revenue for the Lancaster district, were rejected by the United States Senate on Saturday. A number of other Collectors and Assessors were rejected at the same time—among them Major Grant Weidman, Assessor at Lebanon, who served gallantly under the Union flag during the rebellion.

A InIEAT BEAR HUNT.—The St. Louis Democrat relates the following story of a bear hunt in Missouri. The Henry Ham bright mentioned is a brother of Adam Hambright, of this city, and a former resi dent of Lancaster. He is also the present owner of " Annadale," near this city, the former residence of Col. Stambaugh. He is ajovial whole-souled man, and just the man to enjoy a great bear hunt. The following is the story: (I , ,raminer.) Strange as it may seem, but nevertheless it is true, that the wild beasts of the forest still infest our county. Our friend, Al r. Henry Hambright, who resides some six teen miles from the city, near Creve Cour lake, has, during the past winter, lost quite a number of sheep, pigs, chickens, and has been suspecting some of our people for stealing his stock. Justprevious to the last fall of snow, he missed in one night seven fine sheep. The snow fell and covered the ground, and the ilex. morning .two more sheep were gone. Ile saw the track of some animal in the snow, but could not determine the naive of the animal, and his suspicions went to fasten the theft on a negro who lived a few milesotr--the tracks resembling a man's foot with a stocking drawn over it. He forthwith summoned .Tudge *Phil. Lan ham and George Linham, and the three could not decipher the .tracks, but they all armed themselves with guns and rifles, and with four fine dogs started on the trait and followed it to the "horse shoe" of the lake—into a deep cave. The dogs told there was something in it from the manner in which they went in and backed out. A fire was built in the mouth of the cave, and with their hats they blew the smoke in. It was not long before the party was surprised by the appearance of a huge black bear rushing out at them. The dogs grappled him, and the hunting party lied in double quick. Old " Bruin " soon took to a big black-jack, but not until he had killed one of the dogs and severely wounded another. Indian fashion, Ham bright, Phil. Lanham and George Lanham got behind trees, and crept nearer and nearer, until they supposed they wero close enough to •` bring him down,' and at the word they all three fired at once, wounding the bear, but did not bring him down._ Ilambright reloaded, and put a ball through Bruin's black head, and he fell to the ground like an ox, when Lanham rushed on him and cut:his throat. They took the prize away, and returned a few hours after to dig out the cave, but they were soon driven back by the growls of more bears. They then re sorted to smoke again, which brought forth three fine cubs, weighing a hundred pounds each. The dogs fought them for some time, and they, too, took to the trees, and in this manner were shot and captured by the party. On examining their nest, they found seven sheep, three pigs, one small dog, a cat, six or eight chickens, nuts, corn, in abundance. The old bear weighed nearly 300 pounds, and the two cubs about 100 pounds each. This is the heaviest bear hunt that has taken place in our county for the past thirty years, and Messrs. Hambright & Co. will long be remembered by the rising generation. LARGE OAK TREE.—Mr. Gatos John,,of Phoenixville, Chester county, bought of Mr. Henry A. Roland, of Earl township, the largest white oajc tree in this county ; it stood in an open field, and measured 6 feet 7 inches at the butt end.

Evans 44 Co., of York, Pa., who offer for sale " New Brunswick Oats," " Tilden Tomato"._ and " Latakea Tobacco" Seed.

We have a sample of the Oats, the brightest and soundest we ever have seen, andthe Tilden Tomato and the Latakea Tobacco are said to be very superior. PAY TO OFFICERS FOR SERVANTS' HIRE. —We clip the following in regard to the pay to officers for servants' hire from the Na tional Intelligenter, presuming it may con cern some of our ex-volunteer officers: PAYMASTER GENERAL'S OFFICE, I WASHINGTON, Feb. 21, 1867. The action of the Court of Claims allow ing difference in pay to officers for their servants between May 1, 1861, and March 3, 1865, is not final. Should it be decided that the Department is to act on this class of claims, the public will be advised through the press. Until then no claim will be en tertained. B. W. BRICE, Paymaster General. • It is well to state in connection with the above, that the proper accounti❑g officer, whose decisions on this subject the Court of Claims has overruled, has ordered an appeal to be taken to the Supreme Court.

Their new Stove, the "BARLEY SHEAF," Is a decided success, and despite the extensive manufacturing facilities of the firm, they are very likely to soon find t'iemselves in the midst of a demand far In excess of their ability to supply. As a complete Choking Stove, the "Rocky Sheaf" is faultless. For the lutelllgencez In the Express of Monday, 11th inst., is he following: Prohibitory Liquor Law of Millerwille.—The Board of Trustees of the Normal School have taken action in favor of the proposed law to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors in Millersville and vicinity, as follows: . _ W ETERE:AS, A special meeting of the Board of Trustees of the First State Normal School was called for the purpose of petitioning the Legis lature of Pennsylvania to pass a law, prohibit ing the sale of any int , xicating drink as a beverage in the village of Millersville and vi cinity: And, whereas, a petition was presented at said meeting of the Board, signed by nearly three hundred students, male and female, of said Normal School desiring that the Board of Trustees should petition the Legislature afore said, to pass said prohibitory law as contem plated by the petitioners: Therefore, be it Resolved, That the Board of Trustees of said Institution, hereby pray that the prohibitory law may be passed as aforesaid, believing that it would' greatly promote the morals of the community, and the reputation of the Normal School of Millersville. . . Resolved, That as in the °pluton of this Board., the Commonwealth Is bound to throw a shield of protection around au Institution, which is to a great extent, the child of the State ; they ask this law, that they may be the more able to fully and religiously carry out the objects of the Institution : To notouly Improve the pros pective teachers of the State In the arts and sciences, but also, In a hgher quality of mo rality ; and we do positively aver, that the sale of liquor is a serious obstacle In oo r way, and humbly ask you, the only authority competes t thereto, to remove It from our miast. Inasmuch as the venerable Board of Trus tees of the "Millerstown Normal School have taken action upon the subject, and their mighty preamble, with its various whereas's, must regulate the action of the good people of Millersville and vicinity, and be their rule of conduct, and to have the effect and force of positive law, whether it meets with the approbation of said people or not, the following counter preamble and resolutions have suggested themselves, and we hope said Board will take them into consideration. WHEREAS, The ' 6 Millerstown Normal School" is a great institution, in the opinion of those who are stockholders, and hope to got a dividend upon their stock. And, n RHEAS, No person should be a teacher or get a certificate to teach, whether properly qualified or not, unless he hoards a consider able time (for several years) at the Normal School, in order that money may be filch ed out of his hard earnings to benefit the stockholders. And, WHEREAS; Until the establishment of this institution, darkness pervaded the whole universe, which was only expelled by the conceit of the trustees and teachers thereof, and the missionaries sent there from. And, W H EREAS, The great Teachers' Institute, which assembles in the city of Lancaster annually, owes Its creation entirely to this particular institution, by which the great public are regailed with treaties upon science, poetry, and splendid declamation, and last, though not least, with Heaven's inspiring music from the Millersville Glee Club, which challenges the greatest com posers and artists of our time, which mel ody is further Improved by theharmonious voices of the Institute, directed upon that tender touching and pathetic song of "Gentle Annie," which so long captivated our senses, in the Teachers' Institutes so assembled. And, WHEREAS, At said Institute, it is the es pecial requirement of the teachers to ex alt the County Superintendent, and lie to make it manifest and conclusive that they have all the brains in the world—adopt ing the principle of reciprocity—tickle ine and I will tickle you. Therefore, Resolved, That inasmuch as the Trustees of said Normal School have the whole oon• trol of said Institution and teachers thereof are subject to their control—'tie right and proper that they should have the superin tendence of other people's business gener ally, either when the school is in session or otherwise. Resolved further, That said Board adopt a rule by which none of the teachers of said Institution be led into temptation and Violate any of the ten commandments. Resolved further, That they manifest their great preference for the sale of Lager Beer, and in their opinion, the Taverns who en tertain travelers and strangers and accom modate the public ought to be refused license, and be shut up. Resolved furthest That wo deem the pres ent Liquor law sufficient for all purposes, and any citizen knowing the same to be violated is equall guilty with the violator in not giving information by which the offender may be brought to justice and punishment. Resolved further, That we advise those teachers and pupils who are blessed with considerable conceit to use Lager as a bev erage in lieu of spirituous Liquor, and as they are transient sojourners in the vicinity of Millersville, they have a right to dictate to those citizens who are permanent citizens thereof, whether it interferes with them socially or pecuniarily. Resolved further, That the Legislature, in view of the great object above enumerated, should legislate in accordance with the views of the Board of Trustees of the Millersville Normal School. - - - In the U.

We would call attention to the opinion of one of the leading papers of Canada on this subject: Most of our readers have no doubt read some of the numerous Euivertisementa of Gift Enter prises, Gilt Concerts, de., which appear from time to time in the p üblic prints, offering most tempting bargains to those who will patronize them. in most cases these are genuine hum bugs. But there are a few respectable firms who do business In this manner, and they do it as a means of increasing their wholesale busi ness, and not to make money. From such firms, it is true, handsome and valuable arti cles are procured dor a very small sum, and whit is more important, no one Is ever cheated. Every person gets good value for his dollar; because, as we have stated, it is intended to act as an advertisement to Increase their ordl nary business. We have seen numbers of prizes sent out in this way by SU ER3IAN, WA.2130N fi COXPA.NY, of Nassau street, N. Y., and there is no doubt that some of the articles are worth eight or ten times the money paid for them, while we have not seen or heard of a single article which was not fully worth the dollar whi,h it cost. But this is only one of the exceptions of this rule, for as a general thing the parties engaged in this business are nothing but clever swindlers. —Saturday Reader, Montreal, C. E., Jan. 13, 1866.
