APRIL WEATH En.—'Phis is the first spell
of growing weather we have had this spring.
The uninterrupted and icy reign of winter
seemed us if it would never conic to an end.
The trees kept their buds tightly shut, and
it is only within a day or two that they have
begun to swell visibly. Now they are rapid
ly opening, and the pink of the blossoms
and the green of the leaves Is beginning to
peep out. As we look through our win
dow we can almost see the foliage of
the maples in the act of unfolding. A gentle
ruin, fads in a light refreshing shower,
and is eagerly absorbed by the myriad
mouths of multitudinous:plants:which are
intAtening to inaugurate the season of
flower and fruit. Soon through the light
cloeds we shall have a burst of genial sun
shine,' under the influence of which the
foliage of the forests will burst forth In
beauty as if at the stroke of a magician's
wand. Spring time with all its delicious
ness Is here, and we welcome It most
heartily.
From the moist meadow to the wither'd 11111,
Led by the breeze, the vivid verdure rues,
And swells, and deepeusi to the cherlsh'd eye
The hawthorn whitens; and the Juicy groves
Put forth their bode, uuloiding, by degrees,

• -Finu:.-•On Thursday night lust, between
seven and eight o'clock, the large frame
stable attached to the Mansion House, on
the corner ol • South queen and Vine streets
was discovered to be on lire by Mr. Henry
Decker, who was returning from the St.
Mary's Catholic Church. He gave the alarm
;immediately, but belbre water could be got
upon the building it was enveloped in
Mimes, and the conflagration threatened to
spread to the surrounding structures. Some
•two or three houses which stood in close
proximity were on lire before any one of
the engines could be got on the ground.
From the stable the lire was communicated
to Leippe's spoke and carriage shaft manu
factory, another frame building immedi
ately adjoining. The barn, or stable, was
consumed, but, by the efficiency of our ad
mirable lire department, the manufactory
of Mr. Leippe was prevented from being
entirely destroyed, only the buck building
being burned. That the lire should have
been checked where it was, shows what our
firemen \fan do.
Mr. Hess lost two tons of hay, a lot of
tools and other articles, together with the
building on which there was an insurance
of $2OOO. He estimates his loss at $5000.
Mr. Leippe lost heavily quite a quantity
of finished work and valuable lumber hav
ing been destroyed or ruined. lie estimates
his lose as near $5OOO, insured for $3OOO in

SCHOOL Law.--;Among - the-% last work
of the Legislature was the passage of
a appplement to the common school
law, which rualres;_,oertain salutary
changes in the manner of organizing,
supervising and conducting the common
schools of Pennsylvania. This supplement
has been signed by the Governor, and is
now in full force and effect. It provides
that when school directors are unable to
procure from the owner or owners of land,
an eligible site for a school house, they may
enter upon and occupy such land, to the
extent - of one acre, and the damages result- -
ing from such occupancy to be determined
by a jury of viewers; and in case the
award of the viewers is confirmed by the
court, payment shall be made within thirty
days, after which time collection may be
made by execution, as in other cases of
judgment against school directors; and
either party shall have the right to have re
viewers appointed by the court.
The same act provides for the holding of
a County Teachers' Institute, to continue at
least five days In each year, and appropri
ating out of the money in the county treas
ury, not otherwise appropriated, to the
county superintendent, one dollar for every
three days' attendance of teachers upon the
institute, said sum to be expended in pro
curing the attendance and instruction of
competent lecturers at said annual meet

.DEATH OF AN OLD REM:WM.—Mrs. Geo.
B. Porter died on Friday night last, at (t hil
residence in East Orange street, this oily,
from the effects of , a dropsical
.di a ss
with which she has long been 011ie
The decease of this estimable lady leaves
a blank in this community which cannot
easily be filled. Gifted with extraordinary
colloquial powers, she was the life and soul
of every company with which she was
brought in contact, and rich and poor, the
exalted and the humble in society were
alike edified and instructed by her chaste
and intellectual conversation. Descended
from an old and highly. influential Lancas
ter family, and connected, by marriage with
a race of distinguished Pennsylvania states
men, she had the advantage of a personal
acquaintance with many of the leading
public men of the State and Nation for the
last fifty years, nearly all of whom have
preceded her to the tomb.
Mrs. Porter's maiden name was
.arah Humes, and very early in
ee life she married George Bryan
• .rter, a distinguished lawyer then prac

Porter, Governor of the then Territory of

to the city of Detroit, where he continued
to reside for several years, exercising the
fu ctions of his office with distinguished

vernor, from the effects of a cold which
h= had contracted, and Mrs. Porter removed

THE SUSQUEHANNA RIVER.—We find
the following interesting descriptive and
historical sketch of the Susquehanna in the
Lycoming Standard :
It there be a more beautiful spot on earth
than that where the men of Paxton sett ed,
we have never seen it. From its source in
Otsego Lake, where the great American
novelist has described it in language that
wi4l never cease to be read ; along by its
lovely windings, where the Chomung inter
sects the North Branch, whose beauties
have been embalmed by one of our most
graceful poets; by the Valley of Wyoming,
which lives forever in the imagination of
Campbell, but which is fairer even than
the semi tropical fancy of which he was
enamored; on by the bold scenery of the
meeting of its waters at Northumberland,
to its broad glory; celebrated in the New
Pastoral,: and its - magnificent union with
the Chesapeake, every mile of the Susque
henna
is beautiful. Other rivers have
their points of loveliness or of gran
deur, the Susquehanna has every form
of beauty or sublimity that belongs
to rivers. We have seen them all: Con
necticut, Hudson, Delaware, Ohio, Mis•
sissippi, Missouri. There is nothing like
the Susquehanna on this continent. Its
peculiar character depends upon its origin
in the New York meadows, its passage
through the magnificent Pennsylvania
highlands and the mountains. Everywhere
Its course is deflected • it begins a wooded
lake; it winds u limped brook by meadows
and over silver pebbles; makes its way
through mountains ; it loiters, restingly, by
their bases; It sweeps in broad courses by
the valleys. Its vast width, in its mad
spring freshets, when swollen by the melt
ed snows, it rushes from • the hills with
irresistible force, sometimes causing fright
ful inundations, leaves, with its falls, island
after island in its channel, of the richest
green, and most surpassing beauty ; while
those passes through the mountains nflbrd
points of scenery far finer than any one
would believe them to be from any descrip
tion, if he not seen them.
The Susquehanna makes the grandest of
these passages, just balm the mouth of the
Juniata. Its course there is several miles
long, before it entirely disengages itself
from the rapids, culled Hunter's Falls,
which tire the remains of the rocky barrier
which once resisted its way, Entirely , at lib
erty, It pours Its stream, a mile wide, along
a channel some fifty or sixty foot beneath
Its bunk. About seven miles below the
mountains, at a point where they look blue
in the distance, a sheltering call from the
northern blasts, flows in a little stream
which the Indians called Pexetnng, Paix
tang, or Paxton. This mountain is the
northern boundary of the great valley,
which, underlaid with blue limestOne,
covered originally with the richest and
noblest forest-growth, and Including within
it the garden of all the Atlantic slope, ex
tends front Easton, on the Delaware, by
Reading, Lebanon and Lancaster, by Har
risburg, York and Carlisle, by Chambers
burg, Hagerstown and Winchester, until it
loses itself in the North Carolina hills. The
point of greatest beauty in all that valley,
is the spot where it is cloven by the Susque
hanna.
A hundred and forty years ago, an en
terprising young man, from Yorkshire, in
England, by descent, probably, one of
those Scandidavians, who, under the great
Canute, held possession of the North of
England, and gave its main character to it,
made his way to Philadelphia. He mar
ried here a lady who came over with a
well-known Yorkshire family of this city.
Impelled by the same enterprising spirit
that brought him from the old world, and
using the inevitable eye that was charac
teristic of him, he went to the banks of the
Susquehanna. He settled for a brief period
at a point above Columbia, where the village
of Bainbridge now stands, a place much
frequented by the Conoy or Gawanese
Indians. But he was not satisfied with this
location. Exploring upwards along the
eastern bank of the Susquehanna, he
advanced until, instead of the Conewaga
hill at his back and on the opposite side of
the river, he round the entrance opposite to
hint of that most beautiful valley, already
described, with two fine streams flowing
into the river about live miles apart, and on
the eastern side an elevated plateau unsur-*
passed in loveliness in the wide world, with
the little Paxton flowing at the base of an
elevated slope or ridge of land. Here he
settled, and the ferry across the river to the
entrance of the Cumberland Valley was
called after him,
His son, the first white child born west of
the Conewaga hills, subsequently laid out a
town on the spot and with singular fore
! thought set apart six acres on a noble hill
i which rises on the northwest, which ho con
i veyed to the State for public purposes. The
1 Capitol of Pennsylvania is now built upon
It, and the city of Harrisburg bears his
name.
MINNIE BALL REMOVED.—Yesterday a
man named Charles Bergman, late of the
18th U. S. Regulars, who was wounded at
Jonesboro', Gu., at the time Sherman chased
Hood out of Atlanta, had a Minnie ball re
moved from his leg by Dr. Levergood.
Bergman, who has been suffering intensely
ever since he received the wound, midmost
of the time compelled to go upon crutches,
In company with Mr, Black, called upon
the doctor for an examination with refer
ence to a pension. A. careful examination
revealed the fact that a ball was deeply em
bedded in the muscles of the leg its removal
was prop:) , sed and successfully accomplish
ed, to the groat delight of the patient.
COLUMBIA AND PORT DEPOSIT RAIL
ROAD COMPANY.—The Columbia Spy says :
We understand the Stockholders of this
Company, at a meeting held week before
last, resolved to increase their capital stock
to one million of dollars, and authorized
the President to Issue a first mortgage on
the property and franchises of the Company
to the amount of two millions of dollars.
They met again, in Philadelphia, and the
matter of putting the work under contract
was acted u .on.

A M nett NEEDED LAW.—On the eve of its
adjournment, the Legislature passed a law
providing for the arrest of forgers and coun
terfeiters. The Philadelphia Bulletin says
the law authorizing the arrest and deten
tion of professional thieves, burglars tul
pickpockts has had a most wholesome
effect, and the extending of its provisions to
forgers and counterfeiters will be equally
advantageous to the cause of public justice,
There is no more dangerous class of offend
ers against property than counterfeiters and
forgers, and it is next to impossible to guard
against their rascalities. Many who are
notoriously engaged in these practices are
• well known to the police, but the latter have
been powerless to restrain them in their evil
pursuits because of an inability to fasten
specific charges upon them. The new law
overcomes this difficulty, and society can
now rid itself of a class of dangerous pests.
NEW MAIL-Box.—The Post Office De_
partment have established a new arrange
ment for the carrying of letters to and from
the different offices. In place of the old
mail-bag a box made ofyellow pine, with a
band of iron around the edges, and three
bands of the same material across the top,
has been substituted. The width of the
box is about the length of an ordinary sized
letter, is about three feet long, and
will hold 1,000 letters; The inside of
the box is divided with:iron partitions,
and will consist of as many as there
are offices on the different stage and way
routes. All through mall boxes, however,
will contain but two partitions, one for the
mails to be distributed at the receiving
office, and the other for the mail belong
ing to that particular locality. This is a
neat and handy arrangement, but does not
entirely do away with the bags, as they
will still be used for the transportation of
newspapers, etc.
TROWILUSOISE.—Never trouble trouble
till trouble troubles you, for trouble rarely
troubles people who never trouble them
aelvss about trouble, But trouble in the
shape of an ill-working Cooking Stove—
what is more harrassing to the industrious
housewife? Now unquestionably, we shall

-TEE LVMBEB THADE.—We 108 IE from
the Lycoming &melte, a new. and
'ell gotten up paper just started at 'Mi..:
liamsport, that there has been a fine rafting
fresh in the upper 'waters of the Susque
hanna for some days past, and that nearly
three thousand rafts have already left their
moorings for the markets below. During
the past winter immense quantities of
lumber are said to have been prepared in
the northern part of this State and the
southern counties of New York, bordering
thereupon. The prospect is that the sup
ply will be larger than for some years past.
Whether there will be any material decline
in price remains to be seen. It is to be
hoped theta will be, as building and im
provements of all kinds have been much
retarded for several years, by the high price
of material. Until there is a decline rents
will be kept up to an exorbitant figure,
much to the detriment of the poorer classes.
To THE Pumac.—About a week ago a 1 tier
from R. R. Jones to J. R. Watkins, Liquor
Dealer, Southeast Corner of Centre Square,
Lancaster, Pa., relative to Mishler's Bitters, was
published. It is as follows:
WEST BANGOR. York county. Pa., Oct, 3, 1888.
Mu. J. R. WATKINS—Dear .Str: It is with
pleasure that I inform you that I am nearly
well. The sores on my leg have healed up and
I feel like a newman. lam satisfied that lam
now fully cured ; but to make the matter sure,
I will take the last bottle you sent me. I can
never forgot your kindness to me, and as soon
as I come to Lancaster I will call and pay yo
whatever you may see fit to charge me.
Yours, &c., R. ft. JONES*
On Monday last Mr. Jones came to this city
and paid Mr. Watkins a visit. Mr. J. is entirely
cured and is perfectly sound. The scare on his
legsexhibit the extent of the sores; and, from
their appearance, the suffering he underwent
can only be Imagined. He had been in several
hospitals and under the care of a number of
prominent Physicians in Lancaster, York and
Philadelphia, but received no benefit. Misliler's
Bitters was the only article that relieved him, and
his prawn/ healthy condition is entirely owing to
the use of this preparation. Since Mr. J. com
menced using these Bitters he has gained 15
pounds in weight, and his whole physical sys
tem Is regenerated.
Mr. Jones expressed the strongest gratitude
to Mr. Watkins and Dr. Mishler, lor curing
him of a loathsome disease, and offered to pay
any sum that might be asked of him. Sir.
Watkins, however. with that whole-sou led gen
erosity. so characteristic of the man, refused
any compensation, satisfied that he had receiv
ed sufficient pay in relieving the distress of a
fellow-being, and making known the virtue of
Mishler's Herb Bitters. rapr 12-tfd

It is getting to be a serious 'question
among Christian men and women whether
we ought not to have a Society for the Pre
vention of Cruelty to Children. We had not
recovered from the sickening horrors of the
case of the Rev. Mr. Lindsay, who whipped
his little sou to death because the child
would not say his prayers, when we were
called upon the other day to record a fright
ful instance of child torture near Hacken
sack, N..J., which fortunately came to the
knowledge of the authorities before it had
Culminated in downright murder. A man
and his wife, named Vanderbilt, had taken
an orphan child, ono Mary Ann Farrell,
from an asylum, for the purpose of employ
ing her as a servant. For about eleven
months the husband knocked her about
with a broomstick, and the wife beat her
with an iron dipper. They used to take her
to the cellar, strip her naked, tie her up by
the wrists, lash her with a horsewhip till the
blood ran down her limbs, and then rub the
raw flesh with brine. She made her escape
at lust, and was found one morning in the
open fields, with bare feet and legs, and
wearing only a single thin undergarment.,
so saturated with blood and filth that it had
to be peeled from her body like a scab. She
appeared in court with evidences of torture
so pitiful upon her person that stout men
wept at the spectacle. Her jaw had been
broken ; her hair had been torn out by hand
fuls; her face was swollen and deformed;
her lips were cut open ; her eyes were
blackened and scarred; her whole body
was bruised and discolored. Little wonder
that the neighbors were with difficulty
restrained from wreaking Lynch-law
vengeance on the authors of the outrage.
The same day we reported the discovery
of the dead body of an infant in an alley
way in this city. Its throat had been cut
from ear to ear; the head was nearly severed
from the body; there were three or four
cuts about the neck, as if inflicted by the
trembling, hurried hand of a woman. On
that day also another case of lufuntielde
was added to the long list which disgraces
our annual police calendar. Au unknown
woman was seen to drop a bundle in
Twenty-sixth street. When opened it was
found to contain the murdered body of
child, killed by strangulation.
One of the most shocking and inhuman
child-murders that we ever read of occur
red In the early part of March In Warsaw,
Indiana. An abandoned woman, named
Hines, apprenticed her little boy, four years
old, to a Mr. and Mrs. Hurl. They were to
have kept the boy until ho was of age; but
the process of " conquering " him which
the man Harl Immediately commenced was
too severe for so tender a baby, and death
relieved hint of the charge at the end of
four weeks. The day after his introduction
In his now home the poor infant was whip
ped with "a blacksuake whip" because he
did not know his letters. Ho was scourged
with a knotted wagon-whip, beaten with
straps, knocked out of his chair for falling
asleep bruised with clubs and bits of board
until his flesh was like a Jelly. One day
the brute Hart hanged him by the waist
front a hook in the wall, took off his
shoes and stockings, and kindled a
lire under the soles of his feet.—
When the flames began to die out, the
child's mother, who was present, was cow
-1 pelted, with dreadful threats, to bring
fresh coals. This torture lasted nearly half
an hour. Then the sufferer was taken down
and tied to a bed-post. Spent with pain, he
fell asleep ; for this crime he was locked up
half naked for two hours and a half on a
cold February day in a cellar. At night the
executioner dipped his head in a bucket of
water and Imprisoned him again in the cel
lar. Then he turned him out of doors in
his shirt and trousers. After the burning,
said Hart's wife, in her testimony . n court,
" the child was not able to run around as
well as usual." Sometimes, as a variation
of the torture, the boy was hanged up by
the heels. , One day, after he had been
whipped as usual, he seemed "very poorly,"
he "did not talk any," and at noon be was
put to bed. Early in the evening Harl sent
his wife to her room. It was very late
when he followed her. "We had no con
versation that night," says Mrs. Harl;
" the child was not there in the morning."
Mrs. Hines, the mother, suspected foul
play, and applied to a magistrate. A
search was made, and the body of the poor
boy was found in a trunk at the bottom of
a well. Hari made his escape, but has
since been captured. The women were
both arrested and tried as accomplices in
the murder. They were acquitted, after an
examination which seems to show that the
mother, who had done little or nothing to
prevent the foul cruelty which had been
exercised under her very eyes, was the
worst et iminal of the three.
A few days ago a German carpenter was
arrested in Chicago on a charge of whip
ping his daughter to death. The neigh
bors, alarmed at the horrid outcries of the
little sufferer, sent word to the police ; when
the officers entered the house the man and
his wife wore absent, and the child was
found dead, lying on her face upon a bed.
Her back was a mass of wounds ; her gar
ments were saturated with blood; her neck
was purple with the marks of a clutched
hand ; the eyes were open, and the face was
distorted with agony.
These things are almost too sickening for
comment. We used to believe that the
wholesale killing of children by slow tor
ture was a refinement of wickedness in
which Englad led the world ; but the records
of the last year or two go far to transfer the
bad pro-eminence to ourselves. Murder by
the lash seems almost to have become an
epidemic, and one of the worst features in
the case is that women are so often impli
cated in the unnatural brutality. A state
of society in whioh such horrors can be
come frequent, such ineffable crimes be
perpetrated by parents on their own off
spring—cries out to Heaven for signal pun•
ishment, with a cry to which God cannot
long be deaf.—.N. Y. Tribune.

Yesterday afternoon two masts were taken
down the river past this place on a raft,
each measuring one hundred and twenty
feet in length and dye feet four inches di

to be as large as masts are generally found

Edward Fergus was the only pilot on

England and Spain.•. What the Trouble
Ls About.
The Tornado case which threatens to be
come a serious matter between England
and Spain, arose from the Chilean war. In
August, 1866, the Spanish Admiral seized
an English steamer which had just cleared
at Madeira for South America. The pre
text was that the vessel was carrying mu
nitions of war to the belligerent republics.
The seizure was made under circumstances
of unnecessary severity to the captain and
crew. They were detained several months
in prison, and at last forty-four of the fifty
one sailors were released, the captain and
five men being detained to give evidence
respecting the alleged illegal character of
the Tornado's cargo. The English govern
ment protested against the seizure of the
vessel, and demanded its release and the
liberation of the captain and the five sailors.
The Spanish government hesitated and,
during
whicha delay of several months,
which a great deal of diplomatic ink was
wasted, it resolved to send the case before
a prize court. The English Government
demurred to this, and the latest news is
that a British fleet had been ordered to
Cadiz to demand satisfaction, and that the
Spanish authorities had resolved to stand
firm. If force can do it, England will have
redress for this indignity from Spain ; for
English people of all parties are greatly
excited on the subject.
A Washington special says: Senator
Buckalew has read in Eitecutive session an
opinion from the Attorney General, that
tinder the tenure of office bill, the President
can fill all offices vacant when the Senate

render necessary a further continuance of
the session, or an abandonment of about
eighty good offices.

A plain statement Of facts. I inherited Scrofula,
and many of my relations have died of It. In 1839 my
case was frightful. Tumors and ulcers spread until
In 1842, under the advice of my physicians I went to
Avon Springs. I received no benefit—tried every
medicine and did everything I could• I had to rest my
arm on a cushion, and had not been able to raise It to
my head for over a year. The discharge from two
ulcers was nearly a pint a day. Amputation was
recommended; but pronounced dangerous. I could
not sleep, and my sufferings were intolerable. A
friend brought me an English physician who applied
a salve with which he said he had accomplished ex
traordinary cures in the hospitals In England. It
commenced to relieve; persisted in its use; it finally
effected a perfect and entire cure. It Is now 1848. • It

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 advertisements of Gift Enter
prises, Gift Concerts, atc., which appear from
time to time in the 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
whatls 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 ordi
nalve business. vee
sei numbers of prizes sent out in
this way by SHERMAN, WATSON & COMPANY,
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 which 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.

fllO TOE CAPITALISTS OF LANCASTER
COUNTY.—A rare opportunity will be af
forded those who have money to invest, from
now until the let day of May.
The subscriber has for sale the Bonds of the
Leavenworth Branch of the Union Pacific
Railroad, each Bond being for 81,000, and bear-
Ing7 per cent. Interest per annum payable
semi-annually, viz.: let of May and let of No
vember, in New York, in legal tender money.
The first coupon on these bonds will be paid
on the let of May next, II weeks only from now,
being 63.50-100 on each Hundred Dollars, or 6:15
on each Thousand Dollar Bond, and the Bond
can be purchased, accrued interest included,
for Eight Hundred and Fifty Dollars, which
leaves the Bond on the drat day of May to cost
but 6815, or 815 per cent. of its par value; and
if purchasers desire It, I will out off the let
coupon due May let, and allow them the full
value thereof In payment for the Bond, thus
leaving the buyer but 81% Dollars on the Hun
dred to pay for the Bond.
The perfect safety of these Bonds will be
readily seen, when it is understood that these
Bonds area drat mortgage upon all the stock,
road, telegraph and every other franchise
hicri the Company possesses, and that the
overnment of - the United States loan its
o edit to the same company for an equal
amount, and took a second mortgage on the
same pro rty, which is the best of evidence
that the go pe vernment would not take a Second
mortgage on property where the first mortgage
is no cod.
In Callon, let It be borne In mind that the
land granted this Company is Considered
worth far more than all the bonds issued or to
be tuned by the Company, Re.llrOathl haVlng
