"HONOLULU, Hawaii, April 18
Vrw May FEANCIBOO, ay 8,1868. -
The greatest volcanic eruption recorded
in modern times has occurred on the Island
of Rawlins, ono ofthe group of 'Sandwich
Ishinds. For some time past it had been
observed that the crater of Kilauea was very
active, and that a new volcano bad been
formed. The volcano is the well known
Mauna Loa, and it has an elevation of 13,-
758 feet. On the 27th of March last the now
eruption commenced, and has continued.
up to the latest dates. During twelve days
there •have been two thousand shocks of
earthquake, followed by fearful tidal waves
which have destroyed entire villages and
caused the death of one hundred persons.
For fifteen days the district Kona has
been the centre of motion for the great erup
tion. A gigantic stream of molten lava is
flowing from the summit of Manna Los
across the lands of Kakuka and Poakini to
the sea at ICaaluala landing. The slope
and part of the summit of a mountain fif
teen hundred feet high have been lifted up
bodily by the earthquake and thrown over
the tops of trees for a distance of over one
thousand feet. At Wahoinee a creek has
opened, extending from theses. To as high
as the eye can reach on the slope of Manna
Loa tho lava is from ono to seven feet in
width, and an eruption of moist clay was
thrown from the side of the mountain, be
tween Lyman's and Richardson's, a dis
tance of two miles and three-quarters, with
a width of one mile, in the short space of
three minutes. Th is terrible eruption over
whelmed houses, persons and hundreds of
animals, and scattered death and destruc
tion wherever the clay fell.
A column of smoke seven end four-fifths
nfiles in altitude was thrown out of Mauna
Loa, obscuring everything for miles around,
save where the bright spiral pillars of fire
Bashed upwards from the mouth of the vol
cano. The sight was one of the grandest
but most appalling ever witbessesed and
almost defies description.
The immense tidal waves came rushing
in with so great a height that they swept
over the tops of the cocoanut trees on the
ICoua coast.
During the severest shock of earthquake,
which took place on the 2d of April, no liv
ing creature could stand up for a moment.
Immense bodies of earth were tossed about
at great distances, as if they were feathers
wafted from point to point by a storm of
wind. Not one stone stands upon another
us before in this district. Immense pre
cipices which have hitherto been a terror to
all who have seen them, have been levelled
to the earth, and where the ground was
formerly smooth and unbroken for miles
around the earth has been rent asunder and
upheaved, forming gigantic chasms and
precipices.
The entire topographical appearance of
the country has been so completely changed
that oven those Who have lived In the deco.
lilted district all their lives. cannot recognize
it or point out localities with which they
were formerly familiar. Luckily, this part
of the Island is but sparsely populated - , and
the lands are not in general cultivation.
'rho loss of life as far as can be ascertain
ed is as follows: In the village of Palinka,
thirty-three; it idokaka, thirteen ; at Pit
talus, four; at Mndl, twenty-seven; at i
"anllo,
three. This makes a total of eighty
persons killed as reported up to the present
time. There aro rumors about that the
casualties considerably exceed one hun
dred, but nothing definite on this matter
1111.9 been received. All of the unfortunate
persons who have lost their lives wore na
tive Ilawilans, no white person being kill
ed or in any way injured.
At the present moment the entire group
of islands is enveloped in it dense black
smoke, and the indications are that Mauna I
Loa is still in active volcanic eruption.
Manna Los—lts pr e vious Volcanic Yrup
The account of (ho recent terrible volcanic
()copilot' in the island of Hawaii, ono °fill° ,
Sandwich group, imparts interest to !he
subjoined history of the previous eruptions
of the volcano:
"Manua Loa, or Roa, as it is frequently
called, has been well known to the world for
many years past us ono of the most active
and terrible volcanoes in the world. Situated
in the centre of the island of Hawaii, one of
the group of Sandwich Island, it gradually
ascends until it reaches an altitude of 13,758
feet, as was ascertained during the exploring
expedition under Lieut Wilkes,of the United
States Navy. This great height appears to
have been attained by accretion, and, indeed
the entire island of Hawaii is formed of the
lava which been, front time to time,
thrown from the craters or the volcano.—
The lower parts of the mountain are cover
ed with forests and are comparatively fer
tile, but after reaching a certain height
everything becomes quite barren, and
nothing but lava mixed with clay and
hardened almost to the consistency of flint
forms the sin remit. This gives it a smooth
and, as it is quite round at the top, dome
like appearance. Tho mountain is covered
with craters. The principal one, known by
the mane of Moku a-woo- woo, is some 15,001)
feet in length by 8,000 in width. its depth
varies from ;170 to 750 feet, and the bottom
is traversed with ridges front 10 to 50 feet
high, alternating with deep chasms and
smooth beds of hardened lava. These
latter are covered with fissures, from
which ascend thin clouds of steam
and smoke. Another formidable, though
smaller, crater is called Pobakuonan
idol. These two craters, however do
not seem to have taken part in the eruption
reported in the telegraphic dispatch. The
one that was, or is in action is the great era;
tor of Kilauea. ~This Is three and a half
miles in length, two and a half in width
and 1,011 feet in depth, and stands at an el
evation of over 1,0110 feet above the level of
the sea. It is completely surrounded by a
wall of hardened lava, ranging from 500 to
2,000 feet in width and 000 feet in depth. At
he bottom of the crater is a lake of liquid
tire continually surging and giving to the ;
clouds above a beautiful silvery look in the
day and a bright red at night. In January
1841, the lake overflowed, and Lieut. Wilkes
estimated that during one night 15,000,000
cubic feet of lava wore discharged, and
nearly 200,000,000 cubic feet were discharged
from the small pit in one day. In 1855 an
other terrible eruption occurred, which
lasted thirteen months, and covered an area
of 300 square miles with lava. In January,
1859, the last and (until the present one)
greatest eruption took place, three new
craters being formed by the convulsion.
'Cho eruption lasted nearly ten months, and
was of terrible grandeur. Streams of lava
were hurled from,the craters to a height of
from 200 to 500 feot, and after they had fallen
traversed a distance of five miles where the ;
liquid fire flowed into the sea, driving back
the waters, Those who witnessed the meet-
. .
lug of the two elements describe the scene
as one of awful splendor. Quite a number
of shocks of earthquake accompanied this
eruption. It would appear as it the present
eruption exceeded in magnitude and terrific
grandeur anything that over preceded it,
and this would make it more violent in
every respect than the recent eruption of
Mount Vesuvius.
The Death of Lord Brougham
We have made the announcement of the
death of Lord 13rougham. When a man
who has labored with so much persistency
upon almost every subject interesting to his
fellow man winds up his career at an age
exceeding by a full scorethe ordinary num
ber of years allotted to the human race, Ms
demise ceases to be a matter of surprise.
Novertheless,the death of Henry Brougham,
the ripe scientific scholar, tho able advocate,
the eloquent debater and lifelong reformer,
will be felt throughout the world. As
the successful defender of Queen Caro
line, the persecuted spouse of "the first
gentleman in Europe," Brougham became
first known outside his own country, and
the reputation then gained as a barrister
was increased as a parliamentary debater,
a prolific writer, essayist and reviewer, and
a strenuous agitator for reform, whichl he
pressed in the House of Lords with intense
vigor. Even the comparative retirement
of his past life at his favorite French villa
did not withdraw Lord Brougham from the
sight of the public, for he frequently
emerged when the cause of science de
manded his voice, and, indeed, delivered
souse of his ablest addresses before learned
societies within the past few years, exhib
iting a vigor of intellect exceedingly rare
in minds submitted to such wear and tear
as his for three-quarters of a century. This
vigor did not seem to desert hint to the last,
for it is not many months since he delivered
a masterly address at the Manchester Con
gress.
"The basis of Lord Brougham's distinc
tion was the union of rare intellectual vigor
with a wonderful talent for execution. He
was neither a philosopher nor a poet. He
was destitute of the creative power which
enlarges the domain of thought oy the in
troduction of new ideas, and tempts the ex
cursions of fancy by the charm of original
images. Ile was an acute observer of men
and of facts, an analyst of considerable re
finement and even subtlety, a bold and el
oquent asserter of his own convictions, and
within a limited sphere, a courageous
champion of human rights. But the secret
of his strength lay in his untiring power of
action. Ile appeared to perform with ease
the work of twenty men. He was never at
rest, even in extreme old age. The fibres
of his brain had the toughness of tempered
steel. No possible strain could be laid
upon them from which they did not re
bound. Hls native shrewdness often stood
him in good stead, when the labored deduc
tions of more reflective and wiser men were
at fault. His sense and energy were ever
permeated and vivified by a boundless au
dacity. Naturally one of the most unscru
pulous of men, a certain rude fooling of
Justice, and an instinctive human sympa
thy, kept hint within the sphere of modera
tion and propriety. Under other circum
stances, he might have been a Catalina or
a Denton, but on the whole the elements
were so happily blended in his composi
tion, that ho will be remembered not only
us a man of marvellous intellectual endow
ments, but as a public benefactor. He had
a high duty to perform in his day and
generation, and he has accomplished it in
a manner that will make. posterity hls
debtor."

Terrific Tornado In the West—Loss of
Life—Great Destruction .of Property—
Fearful Beene in a Church.
A terrible tornado or cyclene.swept over
portions of Illinois and lowa on Sunday,
the 3d instant. -
The most serious 'visitation was in the
flourishing town of Shanghae,.T.ll., where
fifteen dwellings wets totally destroyed and
many more removedfrom their foundations.
Many of them," were picked up by the
whirlwind, li ft ed into the air and . carried
quite a distance,
and then, seemingly with
demoniac fury, dashed to the ground and.
shivered into a million of fragments." The
only two churches in the place, both leas
than a year old, were broken into thousands
of pieces and scattered over the prairie for
a long distance.
Services commenced in the Second Ad
vent church (a new. building completed last
fall) at four o'cloclrin the afternoon. As the
people were wending their way from their
farms and cottages to church the sun was
brightly shining, although ciondsiivere seen
in the heavens. It was a day not now corn- '
iron in this State at this time of the year.
The pastor of the church, Rev. G. W. Hurd,
ascended the sacred pulpit and commenced
his discourse, which was not interrupted
until it was nearly through, when the evi
dences of the coming disaster began to be
apparent. First it was perfectly still, and
then a noise was heard in the distance as of
the roaring of a mighty cataract. The win
dows began to shake, and some one called
out from his seat, "Mr. Hurd, a bad storm
is coming up." The minister answered,
"Never mind the storm; there is a day com
ing when there will be a storm compared
with which this will be nothing. I will be
through Soon." Just then the hail and wind
commenced breaking in the window lights.
and in almost an instant the windows of
the church, sash and all, were torn out. The
only persona who succeeded in getting out
Were George Vern and Harrison Wiser,
who were instantly killed. Tho building
reeled liken drunken man, but nonecould
make their way out. Wives clung to their
husbands, children to their parents, brothers
and sisters to each other, and despair was
depicted upon every countenance. Sud
denly the crash came, and with a deafening
sound, mingled with the shrieks of the pent
up people, timbers, scantling and all came
clown with a sudden crash upon the de
voted heads of the congregation, men,
women and children. Some had skulls
broken, others arms, others received in
ternal
injuries from which they can never '
recover. There nro several who did not
receive a scratch, but nearly all were more
or less injured. Services were to have been
hold nt the same hour in the Methodist
church; but owing to the non-arrival of
the minister the services were postponed.
The church was also entirely demolished. I
The tornado extended to lowa, and occa
sioned great loss of property in the vicinity
of Muscatine.
Those who saw the approach of the torna
do previous to its commencing its work of ,
destruction say that it had the form of an I
inverted funnel, which whirled like a top 1
as it sped along, The funnel seemed to
have former by two clouds meeting.
Mr. Lindley Iloopeslost house, barn, live
head of cattle and a number of sheep and
hogs at one fell blow, besides having sev
oral horses, pigs and cattle injured. There
were in the house at the time Mr. Hoopes
and his family and his son in-law, Mr.
Bartlett, and his wife. The tornado was
discovered a minute or two before it struck
the house, and all the occupants succeeded I
in reaching the cellar save Mr. Bartlett and
his wife.
They were in the act of going downstairs
when they were suddenly dropped to the
ground amid a mass of ruins, with portions
of the roof upon them. Mr. B. States that
just previous to falling, he cast his eyes in
to the room he had occupied, and"saw the
bed turned upside down, lie was dug out
of the ruins severely bruised, but his wife,
strange to say, escaped with scarcely any
injury. Mr. B. and Isis family were nearly
buried in the cellar but the obstructions
were soon removed, and it was found that
Mrs. lf., a little girl, and William Hoopes
were slightly bruised, though otherwise the
family were uninjured. The premises pre
sent one scene of ruins. For « quarter of a
mile northeast of the house and barn the
ground is strewn with lumber and shingles
—frequently split into small splinters—pie
ces of furniture and carcasses of animals.
In ninny places strips of planks and lumber
are driven into the ground several feet
deep. The grass has the appoarance of a
greet Ilood having swept over it, though
not a drop of rain fell. Every article of
furniture in the house was carried oil or
broken.
Nemarliable Cave In Penusylv..fila
A Milroy correspondent of the Lewistown
Gazette gives the following :particulars of
the discovery of a wonderful cave in
Armagh township, Minim county: "On
the 21th of April, while Charles Nsgeny, of
Milroy, wns having a site dug for a lime
kiln, he was skprlsed by finding an open
ing in the side of the bill. The moment it
came to view a strong stream of air began
oozing forth, like the pressing of a pair of
bellows; the work was continued until the
aperture opened in size large enough to
allow the body to crawl in, and then
it was found to be a splendid cave,'
with gorgeous subterranean gangways;
during the week the work progress
ed, and a formal entrance was made.
After first entering we found ourselves en
closed in a narrow underground path for
the distance of twelve feet; here the great
cave came to view ;. the gangway about fif
teen feet wide, with gigantic walls of rock,
was a direct line of about sixty feet, in the
centre of which we beheld the hanging or
projecting rocks, in the shape of a mantel,
underneath which were small, crystalized
rocks, long and hollow, appearing like ici
cles on a house in winter time. Here we
turned to the right, and had a full sight of
the "Platform Rock," a natural platform,
about three feet above the level of the floor
• and running together in the center; above
it was a shelf of canopy, which indeed pre
sented a magnificent, sublime sight, -
Here, over ono hundred and seventy
feet under ground, and in natural formed
rooms or gangways, with a splendid spring
of fresh water beneath your feet, who could
not realize that the hands of nature had
truly been at work here. A abort distance
further on, we beheld the hanging lamb,
and then came the subterranean chamber,
situated below, where the rocks seemed to
be more marbleized, as they are firmer,
whiter and more solidly settled. Alter re
turning, we, with the assistance of a ladder,
provided by lir. Nageney, were enabled
to take a look up stairs. Here was another
chamber, with colossal walls of rocks, which
presented a sight never to be forgotten; the
distance traversed was about 600 feet. The
air within is very warm, and the floor or
ground seems as if cemented, and is firm
and solid. The diagram is iu the shape of
nn 11 written, and very neatly laid out.
The base of the springs are like small peb
les laid aside of each other, with a border
composed of a larger size. The cave is sit
uate on the line of the Mifflin and Center
County Railroad, about three-fourths of a
mile below Milroy.
The Blethoillat Episcopal Conference at
Chicago—Pastoral Address.
The following abstract embraces the lead
ing points of the pastoral address of the
Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
read by Bishop Simpson to the General
Conference, now in session in Chicago, on
Monday
In the South four German Conferences
had been organized. The following Con
ferences had been founded : Holstein, Mis
sissippi, Tennessee, South Carolina, Texas,
Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and Al
abama; 373 traveling preachers were ad
ded, besides a number of local preachers,
and the membership is 00,071.
In Kentucky and Arkansas there are in
the Church 27,225 members, and 177 preach
ers ordained within the past two years.
At the close of the last Conference the
bishops were authorized to establish one or
more Conferences, and the Delaware and
Washington Conferences wore established.
It lays with the General Conference to rec
ognize the delegates from the Mission Con
ferences.
There have been 101 ministers ordained
in the South and 26,487 members added.
The membership of the Methodist denom
ination four years ago was 923,394, and it
now is 1,146,081—the largest increase in the
history of the church in any four years.
The increase in the number of parsonages
is 717. The number of church edifices last
Conference was 9,430, and is now 11,131—au
increase of 18 per cent. in four years; the
value in 1864 was $20,839,054, and is now
$35,885,439.
The centenary donations were $8,397,662.
The theological institutes were progressing
well, but there was less tendency to endow
new ones than to increase the endowments
of older ones. The publishing interests
were in a prosperous condition, as the re
ports of the different book agents showed.
The Sunday schools show an increase iu
the number of children of 241,819, an in
crease of 14,090 more than the addition of
membership. . .
The tract societies wore in a flourishing
condition, as also the Missionary Society,
which had greatly increased in its work.
The largest missionary receipts of any pre
vious quadrennial was that from 1860 to
1864, $1,153,040: from 1864 to 1868 the receipts
were $2457,648, an increase of $1,164,587.
• The Foreign Mission Union was in a sat
isfactory condition. Rev. J. W. Roberts
had been appointed Bishop to Liberia in
1866. The China Mission was progressing,
and afforded one of the largest fields in the
world. In the Bulgarian Mission, but little
bad been done, although there were mis
sionaries at work.
The Church Extension Society had been
hard at work, but had done but little—not
as much as was expected.
In the South a Freedmen's Aid Society
had been organized, and 52 teachers had
been procured, and there were at the time
of the last Conference 5,000 scholars. There
were now 72 teachers and 7,000 scholars.

A Wife Takes Arsenio BeeAnse a Whim
is Not Gratified by Her Husaand.
From the Cleveland Herald, May 3.1
Another Badcase ofsuicide as ns come
'l7 71 - t •
to our knowledge through a special com
munication from Wellsville, Ohio, on the
line of the Cleveland and Pittsburg Rail
road. All travelers will remember that this
town is located on the Ohio river at the
Junction of the "River Division" with the
Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad. From
this communication we learn that the wife
of Andrew Bunting, formerly of Youngs
town, Ohio, committed suicide on the 30th
by taking arsenic in the presence of her
husband and children, because the husband
declined to purchase additional household
furniture, claiming that the house was fur
nished with goods fine enough to suit any
woman. Between seven and eight o'clock
on Thursday morning, while the family,
consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Bunting and two
children—one eight, the other twelve years
of age were at breakfast, Mrs. B. renewed
the request previously made that additional
furniture carpets, 4c., be placed in- the
house. ' t he husband declined to accede to
her request, whereupon sue arose from the
table in a passion, proceeded to a sideboard,
picked up a cup of arsenic previously pre
pared, and threatened to lake It If the hus
band did not come to terms. Her children
cried, her husband sprang from his seat to
prevent the woman from carrying out her
wicked design—too late to save her. In spite
of his efforts she managed to gurgle down a
sufficient quantity to produce death, which,
however, did not take place until between
eight and nine o'clock In the evening, twelve
hours after the poison bad been taken.
Dr. Hammond, the family physician, was
called, and Dr. McKenzie a neighboring
physician was also in the room soon after
the occurence. The proper medicine was
prescribed and hastily procured, but the
woman refused to take the antidote until
her physician said it was too late to save
life. Then she regretted having taken the
fatal stuff and expressed a willingness to
take any antidote the physician might offer.
She was about thirty-five years of age.
tier husband owned, in addition to being
the proprietor of the finest and most hand
somely furnished house in Wellsville, a boat
on the river, and was otherwise in good
circumstances. He, so far 119 neighborhood
gossip goes, both among male and females,
had always granted and bought for her
everything that money could procure, and
that fact has created a world of sympathy
for the husband.
How It works
The spectacle which now, three years after
' the close of the war, Is being exhibited in
Virginia, of the removal of long-tried and
faithful officers because they cannot take
the iron-clad oath, and the appointment in
their stead of comparative strangers, is cer-
tautly not calculated to facilitate the recon
struction sentiment or to render efficient
the administration of the government. It
is understood that General Schofield is not
acting of his own prompting in the matter,
but has his policy marked out for him at
Washington. He has himself emphatically
expressed to the late Reconstruction Con
! vention his conviction of the practical im
, possibility of administering the govern
ment of Virginia with the provision of the
iron-clad oath of office in it, and he must
see daily illustrations of it in the wholesale
work which the official guillotine is now
making. The last conspicuous removal is
that of the venerable Joseph Mayo, brother-
In-law of the late General Scott, who has
been mayor of Richmond for the last fifteen
years, and now, without regard to tho sen
timent and desires of those whom he served,
is put out of office in more accord with the
party policy of those not only outside of
that community, but outside of the State.
Truly the lot of Virginia seems a hard one,
subjected to taxation without representation
excluded from every branch of the federal j
service, and its people now expelled from
public employment in their own State, and
aliens and adventurers put in their stead.—
Baltimore Sam
Weston Ready for a 5,000 Mlle Walk
Edward Payson Weston, the pioneer and
best known of American pedestrians, is in
town, and preparing for another and greater
feat than that which he accomplished so
handsomely last Autumn. This time this
pedestrian is to walk from Bangor, Maine,
to St. Paul, Minnesota, and return to Buf
falo. New York, making in all 5,000
miles to be completed in 100 consecutive
days. This feat is to be done for a wager
of $25,000 a side, in all $50,000. Mr.
Goodwin still backing Weston and
Messrs. Wm. B. Fredericks, Sam. G. Brock,
Wm. B. Perkins, J. G. Carroll and Eugene
M. Ball, backing time. A purse of $25,000
is also being raised to be presented to Wes
ton if he should accomplish this monster
feat. As he will not be allowed to walk on
Sunday, he will only have 80 secular days
in which to accomplish the feat, and will
have to make the enormous average of 58i
miles daily in order to win. He will also
have to walk 100 miles inside of 23 consec
utive hours five times during the march of
the 5,000, that is to say once in each thousand,
and should he fail in doing this feat once,
he forfeits all claim to the $25,000 purse,
and forfeits $2,000 for each event to the back
ers of time in the wager. He will also walk
fifty miles in ten consecutive hours, once in
each thousand miles, making five times in
all. In both of these feats he will be
allowed two trials at each event. If Weston
succeeds in accomplishing this he will cer
tainly give the British pedestrians who
have been talking so much of late a lesson
that wi 11 in all probability drive them back to
their native shores with a very exalted opin
ion of American enterprise. Mr. Weston
purposes starting on or about the 18th of Au
gust from Bangor, Me., and terminating at
Buffalo, N. Y., on Nov. 20. He will be ac.
companied during his entire walk by a
party of six sworn judges, and there will be
attached to the carriage au odometer for the
correct measurement of the distance. Dur
ing his walk he will pass through twelve
different States, and innumerable cities and
towns. The first deposit of $6,000 was made
last night in the hands of the stakeholder,

WASHINGTON, May 12.
SENATE.—Mr. Edmunds' crder, rescind
ing the rule, which required the vote to be
taken to day, was adopted; Mr. Chandler
stating that Mr. Howard was very ill.
On his motion, the Court adjourned until
Saturday.
The Senate was called to order, and a mo
tion made by Mr. Drake to adjourn until
to-morrow, which was lost by a vote of 23
to 27.
Mr. Yates moved to adjourn until Friday.
Messrs. Anthony, Sherman and Hen
dricks earnestly opposed the motion, refer
ring to the large amount of business which
requires attention, and contending that to
adjourn for several days would be an un
justifiable waste of time.
Messrs. Drake and Yates urged that no
profitable legislation could be accomplish
ed while the Senators were, as they
asserted, in a state of high excitement. Fi
nally the motion was laid aside.
The Senate, after a long discussion, and
the passage of the District of Columbia
Charter bill, the Senate adjourned at 12.50.
HOUSE—Mr. Schenck, from the Commit
ted of Ways and Means, reported a bill to
reduce into one act, and amend, the laws
relating to internal revenue taxes. The.
Internal Revenue Bureau is changed to a
department. The commission gives com
plete power to appoint Commissioners and
to remove all subordinate officers.
The department is divided into different
divisions, with a chief to each. The most
marked change in the old laws is as to dis
tilled spirits; the provisions guarding
against fraud, being more stringent, leav
ing but little to the discretion of the court.
The tax remains as now,' two dollars per
gallon; the tax in all cases to be paid at
the distillery, by means of stamps.
All kinds of beer one dollar per barrel;
snuff of all description 40 cents per pound ;
chewing tobacco, and on all smoking tobac
co not made exclusively of stems. etc., 40
cents per pound.
There are but few alterations in the law
relating to incomes, legacies and success
si01:18, excepting they provide for a more
perfect administration of the same. Mann
facturies aro exempt from taxation.

THE Gratis EXECIIIIISOX,—The
ty-seventh annual exhibition of the Gceth
ean Literary Society of Franklin and Mar
shall College, was held at Fulton Hall on
Friday. A very large and attentive audi
ence was present, the majority of whom
were ladies, and the best of order prevailed
throughout the entire exercises of the eve
ning. The stage was tastefully and hand
somely festooned with evergreens, while
immediately back of the speakers, in the
centre of the stage, were hung two large
national flags which made a very effective
' and appropriate back ground ; in front o 1
and above the heads of the orators, was
placed the Greek motto of the Society, the
letters being made of evergreen. Ample
preparations were made to seat all those
who were present and the Committee of Ar
rangements Messrs. Truxal, Ashenfelter,
Hess, Wolfe, Wlestling and Fisher, deserve
credit for the good management evinced by
them on this occasion:
About 8 o'clock the Faculty of the Col
lege, followed by the orators selectee by the
Society for the evening, marched in proces
sion into the Hall ancbtook their seats on
the stage. The exercises were opened with
prayer by the Rev. Mr. Bigler, of the Mo
ravian Caurch.
The Salutatory oration was delivered by
Mr. H. M. Kieffer, Carlisle, Pa. The speaker
In the course of the oration said that the
proceedings of the evening might be criti
cised by the representatives of the press, the
knights of the quill, who were present;
that honest criticism was Invited, no more
and no less, that they should cut hard and
cut deep if circumstances demanded it.—
This liberty so generously conceded us, we
propose to make use of, and it is It mark of
real ability thus to invite the remarks of
the press, and it is a mark of still greater
ability to profit by the suggestions of its
impartial and trained judgment with re
gard to the defects of the speakers and of
the speeches manifested at exhibitions of
this character. Mr. Kieffer's salutatory
was well written and appropriate, but it
was not pronounced with enough of force
to give it the effect it deserved. A clearer
and more emphatic manner of speaking.
with a greater inflection of voice are neces
sary to make public speaking successful.
"The Echo of the Universe," by Mr. W.
N. Kremer, of this city, was excellently
written and well delivered. 'ibis oration
was so written as to be susceptible of being
well spoken, and Mr. K's.cvoice is of such
a character as to enable him to speak with
power and distinctness. Ile was heard in
every part of the Hall by all present, and
undoubtedly made a very successful ora
tion. We reported portions of this speech,
and are sorry that want of space compels
us to omit their publication.
"The Poetry of Ossinn," oration by Mr.
J. 11 Martin, of Martinsburg, Pa. The
subject of this oration was a difficult one,
but Mr. M. treated it in a very creditable
manner, the delivery was however liable to
the same objection as that of the first
speaker,
" Eulogy— A tnerica's Columbus—Dr.
Kane," by Mr. K. P. Kremer, of Lebanon,
Pa, This oration was written in a manner
worthy of the exalted character of its sub
ject, and was delivered in a forcible man
ner; the latter part of the oration was par
ticularly tine where reference was made to
the Northern ocean discovered by the ad
venturous Kane, and to the vast mountain
of ice on iM shore being an eternal monu
ment in rememberanne of his name and
his glory.
Oration—" Star Dust," by Mr. J. T. Ros
siter, Blue Bell, Pa. This subject was too
profuund in its character to admit of a
popular treatment.. Mr. Bossiter, how
ever, succeeded in eliciting the attention of
his hearers, and acquitted himself with
credit.
Next on the progrtimme was a Poem en
titled "Do Soto," by Mr. J. O. Johnson,
Berlin, Pa. The adventures of this brave
Spaniard were related by Mr. Johnson in
most excellent verse, and as this is a very
difficult field for literary effort, and one in
which great liberty with regard to compo
siticn and style should be conceded, we
forbear making any further comments.
Gtothean Oration—" The Relation of the
I)og to Man," by Mr. James .Crawford,
Baltimore, Md. The subject of this oration
was novel in its character, and ono that ad
mits of ability and ingenuity in its treat
ment. Mr. Crawford discussed,itin avery
able and entertaining manner, attracting
the attention of the persons present through
out the whole time occupied in its delivery.
The gestures of this gentleman wero grace
ful, and considering the character of the
subject of the oration it was well written
and effectively delivered.
The speakers were all applauded, and
were the recipients of a number of bouquets
Du own them by persons in the audience.
The music furnished by the Orchestra was
excellent; and the (ice heap Literary So
ciety may congratulate themselves on hav
ing furnished ono among the best literary
exhibitions ever held iu this city. Tho
audience was dismissed with a benediction/
by the Rev. J. W. Nevin, D. D.
Trio Now ROAD LAW.—Tbe nquirer
states that the law enacted by the last Leg
/ istaf i ti re for Fulton and Salisbury townships
iu f
county, providing for the sale of the
/ repairs upon the public roads is beginning
to attract considerable attention. It is
claimed to be, in several respects, a much
more effective and economical mode of
keeping the public roads in repair than the
old method. It is claimed that farmers un
der this law contracting to repair the roads,
I can do so at odd times when the ordinary
farm work is not pressing, and that, in ad
dition to this, it will dispense with the an
, nufil frolics of road making, at which no
one intends to work and generally succeeds
in accomplishing his purpose; besides
these considerations, it is claimed that the
new road law embodies and puts in practi
cal operation the groat principles expressed !
by the adage that "An ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure." Supervisors,
under the old system, go around once a
year, and in a bungling manner throw some
dirt from the side drains into the road; and
within a month perhaps from their visit,
the water finds a track down the middle of
the road, and for eleven months, every suc
ceeding rain plows it deeper and wider un
til a hundred dollars are required to repair
what ten would have prevented. In Fulton
township, the people seem determined to
give the new law a fair and thorough trial.
Three prominent citizens have been elected
supervisors, under the new system, and
they will spare neither labor nor pains to
perfect it. The roads of that township
measure about eighty miles in length, and
have been divided by the supervisors into
one hundred and forty-seven sections. A.
special article of agreement setting forth in
detail the repairs to be made on each sec
tion, and a general statement of the condi
tion in which the roads are to be kept, is
made with each contractor and signed by
him.'Each section is sold to the lowest
bidder; in this way the average cost per
mile of keeping the roads in repair for the
term of three years is about $65, or $22 per
mile per year, making the aggregate cost
of maintaining the roads in repair for one
year about $2000; heretofore it has cost about
$l5OO annually. If this new .plan should
prove successful in the townships now try
ing it, it will probably be adopted by all .
the townships in the county.
Sandoe, an insane ,
in
mate of the Lancaster County Hospital, was
I discovered this morning by the warden of
that institution hanging in his cell with life
extinct. Sandoe had by some means ob•
ained a piece of rope, which he carefully
lowered with a portion aids blanket, and
making a noose in which he placed his
neck, tied the end of the ropo to the iron
bare above the door of his cell; and after
putting his neck in the noose, he must have
turned himself a number of times in order
to have tightened it sufficiently to have
produced strangulation. Sandoe had been
confined for some years in the insane de
partment of the Hospital; he had been a
member of the Dunker persuasion, and
fancying that he had been called to the
ministry, he undertook to preach ; failing
in which produced insanity.
Coroner Leonard, this morning, held an
inquest upon the body of the deceased. The
jury returned a verdict of death by hang
ing.
A LAI:OE SHIPMENT.-Dr. S B. Hart
man & Co., manufacturers of Mishler's Herb
Bitters, on Wednesday last, shipped four
hundred and seventy.iive cases of this val
uable medicine to different parts of the
State of Ohio. The establishment in this
city alone consumes fin worth of Revenue
stamps daily, there being about a hundred
cases packed each day. The branch estab
lishment in Chicago, 111., is also doing a
very extensive business ; the large amount
of revenue stamps required by the manu
facturers of these celebrated Bitters, is a
reliable and certain Indication of their large
and increasing popularity with the people
of the United States.
NEW PATENT.—Harrison Rowe, of da
rietta, has rammed letters patent dated May
sth, 1868, for Improved Fagot for Railroad
Rails. This consists in the peculiar man
ner of piling, and the application of an
over lapping cap, which may be of steel, or
strong granular iron to form the tread, and
a bottom plate especially adapted for the
flange, and saves thenecassity of heating
or re-woking the old rails used, resulting
in a superior rail for railroads. Obtained
through the agency of Jacob Stauffer, of
this city.
SITICIDE.—A young woman named Aus
tin, residing near the Gap, in this county,
committed suicide last week by taking ar
senic. Miss Austin was about 23 years of
age, and has been deranged for the past six
or seven years. She procured a paper of
arsenic from a boy in H. S. Kern's store, at
the Gap, asserting that her brother wanted
it to kill rats. This was about 11 o'clock In
the morning, and she immediately started
home; on the way, it seems she ate the en
tire contents of the paper—about half an
ounce. Dr. Houston was called in about 3
o'clock, at which time she was vomiting
considerably; she was still serusiole and
talked freely, but gradually.sunk dying at
7 o'clock the same evening. Her friends
are uncertain as to wbetheraist intended to
commit suicide, or took the icon without
a full knowledge of the consequences•—/n

A NEW OFFIOE.—The Registry law
passed by the late Legislature establishes
another new office—that of Registration
Commissioner. It Is the duty of the Com

man. It is presumed that the salary Will
be paid by the County Commissioners.

they caught 51 of those excellent fish; all
with hook and line. A number of them
measured each over 12 inches in length.
Such success in taking these shy fish is not

IMPORTANT TO SOLDIERS OF TIM WAR
OF 1812,—The Auditor General is now pre.

instructions for obtaining pensions for the
old soldiers of the war of 1812 and their
widows, authorized by the reviving act of
the last Legislature. Applicants must have
served at least two months, or been dis
abled, or have engaged in actual battle
said war, and must not be worth over $5OO
in property, real or personal. Parties who
received a gratuity under the act of 1856,
repealed by the act of 1807, will only be en
titled to a continuation of their annuity of
$4O. Settlement will not be made until the
Ist of July, by which time all claims tiled,
will be adjudicated by the Auditor General,

STEA3I FERRY AT PEACH. 80TT031.-11 is
rumored that a steam ferry boat is to be
placed on the Susquehanna river at Peach
Bottom Ferry, to ply between the Lancas
ter and Yqrk county shores. Of an im
provement in the ferry at that place there
is much need, but whether or not a steam
ferry could be established, we are not pre
pared to say. The river at that point is
about .1.1 or .12 miles wide, and at some sea
sons is quite shallow, whilst at others the
water is too deep and the current too strong
for the boats now used to ply between the
shores. The depth of the river is chielty
regulated by the fall of rain—thus in the
spring, for instance, when the snow melts,
and a great deal of rain falls, the river is
deep and its current is almost resistless.
At such a time a steam ferry could be used
to advantage. The present ferry boats aro
flat bottom scows, drawing not more than
eight or ten inches of water, and are poled
across the river, the process being tedious.
To these crafts steam could not be applied,
and we have serious doubts as to whether
a steam ferry could be operated there, al
though the increase of business might de
mand it.—Cecil Whig.
Wo aro assured that the firm of EASTMAN
& KENDALL, 65 Hanover street, Boston,
