_ If a backWoodernSU should insiston using
an axe to cut Ids crop of grain, instead of,a
sickle, because the axe had rendered good
service in felling the forest that stood upon
the same ground, the preceding year, no
body would be apt to thinkftell othisjudg
ment in the Selection of a utensil. As we
are not to have a war, there is loss fitness
in the selection of a general, than of a states
man, as a candidate for President. General
Grant has been nominated solely in coneo
quence of his military reputation. Waiv
ing, for the present, the fundamental
objection that the instrument is not
adapted to the proposed nae, and that the
Presidency, during the next term, will af
ford no scope for the exertion of military
talents we challenge inquiry into the
grounds of General Grant's fame as a sol
dier. We suppose none of his friends will
soriouslyinamtaln that he is entitled to bo
called a great general merely because he
has commanded great armies much less be
cause he has exposed and lostin battle great
multitudes of men. His reputation rests
upon the fact that all his campaigns have
been successfuL But success against such
adversaries as Pillow or Pemberton In the
West is no very signal proof of abilities,
unless they commanded greater forces;
which they did not. General Lee was a
more worthy antagonist; but General Leo
was not conquered by fighting him, but
by exhausting his resources. lie stood on
the defensive for nearly II year after Grant
assumed command in the East, although
the Confederacy was even then, when Grant
crossed the Rapidan, tottering and well
nigh spent by three years' exertion in a
strenuous and unequal struggle. It is cer
tainly just to credit Grant with the capture
of Lee; but there is a debit as well as a
cretlit side to the account. What General
Scott called "the economy of life by moans
of head-work," will be sought for in vain
in the campaigns of Gen. Grant. Ills suc
cesses have been won by a prodigal expen
diture of his soldiers. In his last and great
est campaign ho pitted an enormous army
against a small ono, and sacrificed twice as
many men as Gen. Lee had under his com
mand. It is not justice but adulation, to
praise him as if he had conquered an army
as large as his own. It Is not justice but au
affront to humanity to give him as much
credit as if he bad acchleved the same re
sult without such wholesale sacrifices of
men. The following is an authentic state

The MethodWe on Impeneloneut
We have heretofore tutted the action of the
Methodist Episcopal General Conference,
In session In Chicago, in ;rejecting resolif
lions, ono day last week, favoring the con
viction of the President, but on the follow
ing day a preamble and resolution were got
through the body, appointing an hour of
prayer that the Sonata might come to a
"rightful decision," Ate. The resolution
wee in words unexceptionable, ',lathe pro
amble un fortunately contained a suggestion
that the religious privileges of the minis•
term and members in many parts of the
South largely depend upon the " rightful
decision" of the case, which sufficiently in
dicates what, in the opinion of the framers
of the document, the " rightful decision" is
and the allusion to corrupt agencies being em
ployed:to:influence Senators is so much in
the prevailing radical style at present that
it is not difficult to see its drift. The eccle
siastical convention might its well leave
polities to the political convention which
met yesterday in the same place, and which
would not be more out of place in discuss•
Mg the relative merits of the different sects
than In a religious assemblage in Indicating
its choice between politics. We presume
the proceedings in its present shape was the
worki of
. those who failed to get through
anything stronger the previous day, but,
as it is, it might as well have been omitted.
The annexed remarks of Rev. Dr. Slicer,
of Baltimore, on the occasion referred to,
will be read with specialintorest.
I believe in the efficacy of prayer, and for
over fifty years I have been taught by the
Bible to believe that it is prudent and ex
pedient for man to unite fasting with
prayer; and when that resolution is taken
up, sir, I shall move as a substitute that
this General Conference set apart Friday
next as fr day of solemn fasting and prayer,
in view of the troubles in which the coun
try is now Involved. And, sir, you can
pray in your seats and closets, either kneel
ing or sitting, as you may feel inclined to
do; but I trust, sir, we will not make our
selves partisans in the groat troubles of the
country by producing prayers, uttered in
the ears of God or men, calculated to pro
mote strife and contention, instead of pour
ing oil on the troubled waters.
Sir, Europe is breaking loose from the
shackles that have hound church and State
together, and it there is anything, sir, in
which the American people are agreed, it is
this, that there ought to be total severance
ui church and State. [Orem applause.]
We are not here, sir, as a Court of Im
peachment; we are not hero, sir, to regu
late the fallini of this great nation; we are
here as the ministers of the gospel of peace,
and wo have promised in' our ordination
vows, to promote peace and good will
among all people; and I trust that this
ecclesiastical body, while Europe is break
ing loose from theshaclites that bind church
and State will not set the example of ally
ing ourselves with any political party on
this continent. I trust, sir, we shall keep
ourselves clear of that. Let the conference
order a day of fasting and prayer, and let
the order be strictly and solemnly complied
with. And If we should spend half the
day in our closets in solemn prayer to
God for the country, we will be bettor for
it ourselves than In producing strife among
the people. We hold different political
opinions, and belong to different political
classes, and it is not tho province of this
ecclesiastical body to give shape or direc
tion to public events in this great govern
ment, sir. We have charge of the religious
interests of the country, and of the religious
interests of the Methodist Episcopal Church;
.and it is not our duty to decide either for
the President or against the President, or
for the Senate or against the 'Senate. We
are to promote peace and harmony, and
pray to God for Ills blessing upon the whole
American people. [Cries of "Amen."]
May God send His blessing down on the
whole American people I I trust we shall
have fasting and prayer instead of au exhi
bition of politics in this conference. [Ap
plause].—Baltintore Sun.

THE LANCASTER W_ELEIKEY IN'TELEIGEVCiEIt, WEDNESIYA*ZTMAY 21, 1868:
A LETXZ PROM THE WEST.
MumamKEE, May 21,,1808,
Westward Ho! If I were asked-which of
the two cities (Chicago or Milwaukee) were'
my choice, I would answer, "that depends
on circumstances:" If I had just sufficient
means to enter into business, with strong
desire to increase fay wealth, and not a
lingering, latent thought for comfort and
enjoyment of this world's rational pleas
ures, I'd say Chicago. But if, on the con
trary, I desired to combine with the real
tangible enjoyments of life, sufficient busi
ness to keep body and soul together, or
could afford to live unconcerned for the
future as far as peounlary considerations
go, I'd say Milwaukee forever I Between,
tho two there's as much difference asiliere
possibly can be between the real _arirthe
ideal. Chicago as a business place, is doubt-
less unexcelled in this great country, but
tho self-denials as far as regards the real
enjoyments in this life, are so great that
they more than counterbalance the advan
tages in the first consideration ; that is ac
cording to my humble Ideas of real enjoy
ments at least !
Chicago, it is very true, is the centre of
enterprize in trade and commerce. People
only hurry through life for the sake of
making money. They scarcely take time
to eat, and but barely allow the Goddess of
slumbers to disturb them, In their restless
efforts to vie with each other in the accu
mulation of wealth. They submit to self
denials such as we in the East would look
upon as indispensable.
They have no fine open rustic SQUAEER,
uo shaded groves, no cool retreats, no
pleasant gardens, no hills, no valleys, no
shaded walks; in short so little of nature's
beautyin their midst, that it cannot fail to
strike an eastern roan as peculiar to the
place.
Their hearts seem bent upon business,
and nothing but business. As an evidence
visit their Chamber of Commerce, see the
eager crowd in that beautiful Hall. Liston
to the hum and buzz. See the eager dilated
eyes watching in breathless anxiety the
changes and fluctuations of the market,
and you will come to the conclusion that
those mon are anything but happy in the
enjoyments of this life. Well, for this rea
son, I prefer MILWAUKEE. Again the for
mer has no CELLARS, no tine springs of re
freshing water, no fair view of the lake, all
is most monotonously, most literally flat
and level. Yet it is by all odds the great
est city on the continent, and thus I'll leave
her in all her commercial glory. with all
good people, who have shown me kindness,
with all her virtues,with all her faults, and
come again back to the place which I pre•
for of the two.
Milwaukee is most beautifully situated
on a gently rising ground, ascending from
the Milwaukee River towards Lake Mich
igan. The streets are broad and in very
good order; sidewalks mostlyplanked and in
very good condition, so much so, that walk
ing becomes a pleasant variety. The up
proaeh to the city makes a much better Im
pression on the stranger than that torhicago.
The most prominent features presented to
the eye tts we near the city, are line large
warehouses and other prominent places of
business. Very few shanties, and no lum
ber piles. The place is approached by cross
ing no arm of the Lake on a trussel, or pile
bridge, which gives it a very rural appear
ance, and must make a lasting Impression
upon all who visit for the first time, The Mil
waukee river runs through part of the city In
a sort of serpentine way, not at all dissimi
lar to the rand Canal of Venice; indeed
the similarity struck mu as being so forci
ble that I could not help exclaiming within
myself, "Behold, Venice In America!" The
place can boast of some of the finest speci
mens of architecture In America. Several
large buildings have lately been put up In
the French or " Louvre Style," told, IN is
very natural present a most Imposing ap
pearance, being built of it cream-colored
brick. Tilili is also t11(1 (MHO with nearly all the
the buildings in the place, and gives an air
of neatness and taste to the entire city,
which is excelled In no other that I have
ever visited. As regards private villas, I
think this city takes precedence, as far its
beauty of Mention and style of architeeture
goes, although the former may excel in
numbers, Lake street contains a number
of those that represent lite splendor of the
east, with the modern Improvements anti
the luxury In arrangement of our 0(511
0011111 ry, combined, The view of the Ink )
from the bluff nt the head of Division street,
(near which these villas aro situated), is
grand In the extreme ; not even surpassed
by a view front Staten Island, near New
York. A prospect calculated to nil the be
holder, shun a lover of the beauties of na
ture, with ocstaclus, and cause him
involuntarily to linger and listen to " what
the wad waveB are &tying," (as they twat
up to the shore) In theirgentlerollinglulbt
by
! Front what lam able to gather the
city is under Democratic rule, nor does it
seem to xairce from that cause, there being
comparatively very few arrests, and seldom
for serious criminal offences. The popula
tion is about 80,000, of this nu tuber at least
two-thirds are (lemons. This circum
stance has, if anything, a wholesome influ
ence upon the entire Community. lam as•
cured that although the Sabbath is not
literally regarded as a day of rest, in the
sense we eastern folks take it; yet there are I
fewer cases up for drunkenness and disor
derly conduct on Monday than any other
day in the week, and a much smaller num
ber than in those cities where the so-called
Sunday laws are strictly enforced. One
German gentleman assured me that hero
he enjoys his Sunday as undisturbed and
free (f) as he did in his fatherland. Musie
and dancing, I am told, forms part of the
divortisement of Sunday afternoon. Con
certs and theatrical representations close
the evening entertainments, and the people
are literally happy under this state of
things, all prohibitory laws and proclama
tions to the contrary notwithstanding.
There aro strong hopes that Wisconsin
will fall Into the Democratic ranks next
fall, and thus add one more to the number
of redeemed and regenerated States. There
is a wonderful reaction taking place among
the German Radical party. They do not
feel disposed to truckle longer to that em
bodiment of Gorman aristocracy under the
garb of republicanism—Carl Schurz, the
man who kissed the toes of Bismarck and
tickled the vanity of that absolute mon
archist, for the sake of popularity. No,
they have learned to appreciate the worth
of that blatant sycophant, and will most as
suredly rebuke him, and the party to which
ho has sold his manhood for the sake of
place and power, at the next election.
If the people in the East imagine that the
Germans of the West, (who are a powerful
party, by the way) are all identified with
the ruling and ruining party now unfortu
nately in power, they will find their error

TRAVELER ON THE WINO.
The ilantatere at Honey Lake, Nevada
'From the Virginia (Nevada) Enterprlae, J
It would seem almost impossible to ar
rive at the truth in regard to anything of
moment happening even a few miles from
the city. Since the massacre of the Pierson
family by the Indians, we have had half a
dozen stories in regard to the affair. Pint,
that women and all wore killed ; then that
the women were taken prisoners; and
again, that both mother and daughter were
most certainly killed, which we are now sat
isfied is the truth. We yesterday met S.ll
Hall, of Honey Lake Valley, who gave us
what we believe to be a true account of the
whole affair. The home of the Piersons was
at Red Rock, in Long Valley; but during
the winter they lived at Lower Hot Springs,
on account of there being an abundance
of pasturage for their stock. At the time
they were murdered, they were returning
to their rancho at Red Rock, and had not
proceeded more than a couple of miles
when the Indians attacked them. A man
named Cooper was driving a team a con
siderable distance in advance of that of
Pierson and family, when the Indians tired
on him. A boy who was hording sheep
within three hundred yards of the road saw
Cooper fall off his wagon and heard the re
port of a gun fired by the Indians. When
he fell, the redskins, four in number, rushed
on him, when he began firing at them with
his revolver, and, It is thought, killed one
of them. The boy at once stripped
off all his clothes but his shirt and
drawers and ran at the top of his
speed to ',the house of ono Sharp, about
nine miles distant. It appears that, seeing
the Indians attack Cooper, Pierson and his
wife and daughter turned back and attempt
ed to reach the house from which they
started, but were overtaken on the way and
brutally murdered by the savage monsters.
It is thought that Pierson was first killed,
and that his wife and daughter clung to him
until they were in turn murde&ed. There
were some half dozen bullets ilibd into the
body of the husband and father, and all
their skulls split open with an axe taken
from their wagon. Cooper's head was cut
off, his heart cut out, and his body covered
with wounds, probably on account of his
having killed or mortally wounded one of
the Indians. John Sutherland, who was
at first reported killed, was a considerable
distance ahead of Cooper, driving a large
herd of stock, and neither heard or saw
anything of the massacre. He arrived
safely at his destination with the stock in
his charge. It is supposed that eight In
diana were concerned in the murder, as that
number had been seen prowling about the
neighborhood. The first to reach the scene
of the massacre was a small party from
Shaffer City, a small settlement not far from
Sharp's ranche. A number of small parties
of from ten to fifteen settlers are out scour
ing the country in search of the Indians,
Cheap Land In Texas
The Deputy United States Marshal sold
eleven hundred acres of land in this place
on Tuesday last, under execution, at fifteen
and a half cents per acre. This land Ilea
in the extreme northern portion of this
county, and.islavorably situated, not only
for a stook ranche, but is quite productive.
The extreme low figure at which it was
knocked down. shows how little money
thereisu n the country, and calls loudly
upon the Convention soon to assemble for
some measure of relief. The sale was mado
to satisfy an execution for sixteen hundred
dollars, and a sufficient sum was not real

by a revenue clutter under the direction of
the Custom House officers, gad Mr. Zan-

and landed at the foot of Nineteenth street,

carriages to their hotel. The steamboat
dock and pier were crowded from an early
hoar, with spectators and persons waiting
to receive expectant friends, and as the
, steamer approached her dock, cheers and
Having of handkerchiefs gave expression
to their enthusiasm. The party drove to
the Westminster Hotel. The Embassy is

Mr. Butler deslrpd that the Speaker
should ask the witness whether he was now
ready to testify fully and fairly as to all
that may be asked of him.
Mr. Eldridge insisted that this was not

any excuse to offer for the conduct of which

ANNIVERSARY OF TEE PAGE LITERARY
SOonny.—The Thirteenth Anniversary of
the Page Literary Seciety of the State'Nor
mal School at Millersville, was held 'on
Friday. The following persons acted as
officers of the Society on Ibis occasion
President—Prof. H. G. Rush.
Secretary—Mary_ R. Slocum.
Edltress—Rale E. Worreat.
The large Hall of the Normal School was
decorated with evergreens, flowers and
flags, in an exceedingly tasteful and artistle
manner; the flags on the stage were bean.
tifully arranged, and in the center of the
flags, just above the heads of .the speakers, I
was placed the motto of the Society - 'Mich
in Truth." Two large urns at each end of
the stand were filled with beautiful natural
flowers, wreaths of evergreen surrounded
the pillars which support the ceiling, and
large pictures enclosed by the same mate.
rial were hog at appropriate distances
around the room. Although we have been
preeent at many similar celebrations at the
Normal School and elsewhere, we do not
remember ever having seen a Hall deco.
rated in more beautiful and tasteful man
ner.
The members of the
,Soclety headed by
the orators and essayists of the evening and
the faculty , of the Normal School assembled
in the Model School Room, and from thence
proceeded In procession to the large Hall of
tho Institution, In which the exercises were
held.
The exercises of the evening were opened
with an appropriate prayer by the Rev. W.
V. Gotwald ' of this city, which was follow
ed by a Salutatory Oration by Prof. H. G.
Rush, of Millersville. This gentleman,
af
ter pronouncing the first sentence of his
oration, was unable to recall the remainder
of it, and having very unwisely neglected
to place the manuscript in the bands of a
prompter, after hesitating for some minutes
said, 'lt is poiltively necessary to proceed
with the next order of the exercises," and
took his seat. In the meantime the manu
script was procured, and having been pla
ced in the hands of a prompter, Prof. Rush
was enabled to deliver a well written ora
tion, in an effective manner. The experi
ence of last evening will probably hereafter
make Prof. R. careful in having his manu
script at hand, Wh - Fn he attempts to deliver
a public oration.
Next on the programme was an Essay,
entitled " Woman's Work," by Miss Lizzie
Lloyd, of Philadelphia, Pa. As this essay
ist claimed that woman should have all the
rights enjoyed by man, she cannot find
fault with us for allowing her the same
privilege with regard to criticism that we
accord to the sterner sox, when excepttngto
the manner and matter of their public politi
cal speeches. This young woman began
by quoting the celebrated words of Galileo,
that "the world still moves." The essayist
elated that so it is now, the world does move,
and that therefore much abused woman
would soon be the help -lusts and not the
slave of man. That men should be more
liberal, less selfish end unjust; are they
qualified to dwelt, fur woman her sphere?
Our doctrine Is that woman should work in'
that sphere where she eau accomplish the
most good ; that she should become a Miss
Homer, an Anna Dicklusonr....Man is not
alone responsible for Intemperance and vice,
woman too Is reprehensible, she should be
active in combating these groat evils, To
educate women is the first great work, it is
not unwomanly to be like an Agaselz or
Webster, When a man expresses his opin
ion that a woman is strong-minded, you
may put him (tomtits it weak-minded man. ,
This young woman' also claimed that wo
!
men should be politicians. Is not politics
the history of today? Civilized men who
advocate equal rights should not lot go un
punished those recreant Senators at Wash
ington, they should share a traiter'a doom.
The young woman then spoke of Ulysses
Orem, and the sure triumph of Impartial
justice and universal liberty in MOS. But
we have not specs to furnish our readers
with a full report of this progressive Essay.
um; would have supposed trout it that two
classes of persons in our country were op
pressed beyond all measure, and that
they were the Well l'OrN and women.
The essayist seemed to • associate
them without the slightest healta
tion, and with great apparent relish. The
essay wile I . OS ti in a monotonous manner,
and with a slight lisp ; it was, however,
read loud enough to be heard In allparts
of the Hall. Miss Lloyd did not avail ! her
set fof u inane right to make gestures in
order to render her remarks more emplut
tie,
oration, Power," by J. M. Peoples
Emil., New Providence, Lancaster Co,• Tbie
gentloinan!H oration was entirely suitable
to the occasion ; was well written and do.
livered in a straight forward manner. It
abounded with illustrations of what the
great men of the past and present, had
achieved through the exercise of " stern
and unflinching will."
Referred Question.—" Which was the
greater tinder taking, the laying of the At
lantic Cable, or the construction of the Pa
cific Railroad?" The affirmative of this
question was represented by J. .7. Hardy,
St. Clair, Pa. Mr. 11. in a very entertain
ing and able manner recounted the diffi
culties of laying the cable and supported
his side of the question with great vigor.
The only fault of this oration was that fit
was too long. The Pacific Railroad was to
have been represented by M. Brosins,Ehq.,
of this city, but Mr. B. was compelled to be
absent on account of unavoidable circum
stances.
Poom—" Lillian Ray"—S. Eva Bolton,
Christiana, Pa. This poem was admirably
written and road In an audible, pleasant
manner. It was one of the most attractive
features of the evening. Miss Bolton pos
sesses a line literary taste and good poeti
cal talent.
Honorary Geation—Our Influence Per
petuated—Rev. C. W. Blcklev, Mauch
Chunk, Pa. The remarks of this gentle
man were quite eloquent ; he argued that
every man has an influence; man lives not
for himself but for posterity ; he has two
immortalities, the one beyond the stars, the
other, a shadow of the former, remains on
earth. We live, we die, but we leave influ
ences after us which never die, No matter
what sphere man fills, whether a parish or
a continent, his influence lives after him.
The grave buries the dust but the spirit
walks the earth. Mr. Bickley, however,
violated all propriety by introducing poli
tics into his oration. He made use of the
following sentence in the course of his re
marks : ' The Chief Magistrate of the na
tion may glory in his shame, but his evil
deeds will live after him." The members
of the Page Society are composed of .Repub
licans and Democrats and when they return
to the Normal School to celebrate the anni
versary of the Literary Society of which,
at one time,they were active members, they
expect to hear essays and orations of a
purely literary character. Hard political
epithets and fault-finding with the admin
istration of Government are sufficiently
heard on the public highway and in the
bar-room. No Democrat or Republican
who understands the nature of these liter
ary exhibitions will convert them into po
litical meetings. Had any of the speakers
last evening made Democratic stump
speeches, we would have severely con
demned tliem,—it is not the proper time and
place for party abuse and vituperation.—
Let the members of the Page Society here
after select for their orators, ladles and gen
tlemen, who like a majority of the orators
and essayists of last evening, have the good
sense and good taste not to obtrude politi
cal opinions upon their auditors. We re.
cently had the pleasure of attending the
celebration of the Goothean Literary So
ciety of Franklin and Marshall College, in
this city, the orators all abstained from
making political speeches. The. Normal
Literary Society of the State Normal School,
at their celebration lust FebrunrY, had
orators and essayists who avoided all poli
tical references. Now let the Page Society
emulate the Normal, in hereafter obtaining
other titan political preachers to deliver
honorary orations.
The exercises closed with the reading of
the "Page Weekly," a paper made up by
literary contributions from the different
members of the society ; some of the articles
wore well written. In one of the articles
written by some radical possessing little
brains and less discretion, the word " cop •
perhead " was introduced several times;
the article was Intended to bo witty, but we
could not seo the point of the joko, and one
of the Professors of the Institution,who was
near us,told L 9 that he could not see it either.
A pome was also among the contents of the
paper, which recommended that all rights
should be conferred upon men of every race
and hue , etc., etc., The paper was well read,
but in too low a tone, as many of the audi
ence were unable to hear it.
The music was furnished by Bowman's
Orchestra in their usual excellent style, and
good order generally prevailed during the
exercises. The Society adjourned at a very
late hour.
Mr. Jno. G. Brenner, the gentlemanly
proprietor of the line of omnibuses between
this city and Millersville, furnished ample
conveyance to and from the Normal School,
to those of our citizens who attended the
exhibition.
DEATH OF A. VENERABLE CITIZEN.-

MECHANICS' LIENS.—The Governor has
announced his intention of approving the
law, passed by the late Legislature, extend
ing the mechanics' loin law so as to cover
repairs, and providing for the speedier trial
of CMOS wherein liens have been filed than
was allowed by the old act. The now bill
will be of great importance temechanics
who have in many instances, heretofore,
been compelled to wait an unreasonable,
time for their just dues simply because
stays and delays were permitted by the
acts under which their suits were instituted.
The new act, if approved, will go into effect
on the lst.of august. Parties building or
having repairs made to structures should
carefully examine the law and make them
selves thoroughly acquainted with its pro
visions, before completing their contracts
with workmen.—Erchange.
Tun STATE. FAIR.—The State Guard says
that the committee having In charge the
locating of the State Fair have decided
unanimously to select Harrisburg as the
place for holding it, and accepted the in
ducements held out by our citizens. Aplot,
of ground sixty-five acres in extent, just
above the city limits, easy of access by the
street cars and Pennsylvania Railroad, has
been selected, and the time for holding it
fixed from September 29th to October 2d.
A race course, consisting of a mile track.
will be laid and the other necessary build.
hags erected, and the preliminary work soon
commenced. It is expected that the build
ings will be completed, and the work on
the grounds finished by the middle of Sep
tenaber.
THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.--The
Episcopal Convention held in Philadelphia
ast week, was attended by a large number
lof clergy and lay delegates. After voting
down all other projects of dividing the Die
case, on motion it was
Resolved, That this Convention consents
to the formation of a new Diocese within
the limits of the existing Diocese, to be com
posed of the thirty counties bordering on

Luueus
ter, Adams, Cumberland, Perry, Juniata,
Snyder, Union, Clinton, Centre, tint),
Huntingdon, Franklin, Fulton, Bedford,
Blair, Clearfield, Potter and Cameron, but
that the Bishop shall not be asked to give
his consent thereto until he has secured
evidence that two-thirds of the clergy, and
parishes representing two-thirds of the
communicants reported in 1867, approve of
being set off as a new Diocese; and that
$2,600 a year for rive years be secured for
the support of the new Episcopate.
Clerical vote—yeas 00, nays 07. Lay vote
—yens 70, nays 42. The Bishop's salary
was raised to $0,500, and the following Cler

tion, which meets in New York in October
next:
Roy. Drs. Howe, Hare, Goodwin, Marple,

MATTERS IN THE LOWER END . -W.
clip the following Items from the Oxford
Press:
The work of grading the lower section of
the Columbia Jc, Port Deposit Railroad is
being pushed on rapidly, and it will be
ready for the rails and ties In a few months.
A larger numb& of shad have been caught
his season in the Susquehanna, opposite
Peachbottom, than for many years pre
vious. At the fishery on Caldwelre Island
nearly two hundred were taken in one (lay.
4i A temperance meeting will be held at
Pleasant grove Hall, Fulton twp., on Sat
urday.evening, May 30th. B. HT Warner,
of Lancaster, will deliver an address.
On the evening of the 14th inst., Hannah
Miller, an elderly woman, residing in
Joseph Davis' family, in Colerain town
ship, in stepping down from the kitchen
into the washing shed, fell and broke her
arm near the shoulder. , Dr. J. W. Houston
was called in to set it.
On Saturday last, Abner C. Wood, of
Little Britain township, shipped on the
railroad at Oxford, for Philadelphia, twenty
six head of tat cattle; the balance of his herd
of forty-four head. The former lot was
shipped about a month ago. This was un-.
doubtedly the finest lot of cattle fattened in
Lancaster county, and possibly in the
State. The average weight per head was
some pounds over 1700—the heaviest pair'
weighing 4100. These cattle were from
West Virginia, bought in Philadelphia by
Mr. W. in November last.
Another fine lot of cattle, fed by John N.
Russell, of Drnmore twp., also accom
panied Mr. Wood's lot. They were in vary
fine condition, and exhibited evidence of
good rnanagementandfeeding. They were
also West Virginia steers.
THE BawirtiOri LAW.—The first of Juno
is the limit of the time allowed to those de
siring to take advantage of the krupt
Law. For the benefit of those w ho n do not
fully understand the htw, we furnish the
following abetract. Any person, or firm,
may take advantage of toil law who owes
debts to the amount of three • hundred dol
lars or upward, whether they be individual
or partnership debts, or both, and it makes
no difference what is the character of the
indebtedness, .whether it bo by hill, note,
account, judgment, as priecipar, or surety,
or otherwise. The law demands of. ap
plicant that he shall surrender his property,
except such as Is hereinafter enumerated
to his creditors for a pro-rata distribution
among them. The applicant Is permitted
to keep his household and kitchen furni
ture and necessaries to the amount of five
hundred dollars, also his uniform, arms and
equipments, if he is, or has been, a soldier
in the militia or the service of the United
States. If the applicant is the head of a
family his homestead, to the value of five
hundred dollarals exempted and if he has
no homestead, then in lieu thereof money
or other personal property, to the value of
three hundred dollars. If the applicant has
only so much property as is above men
tioned, of course be has nothingto give over
to his creditors. The result of the benefit
of taking this law is a discharge from all
indebtedness; in cases whore there is no
contest, It requires from sixty to ninety
days to procure this discharge.
A MAD Doo.—On last Sunday morning
while the family of Mr. A. G. Killian of
New Berlin, this county, were sitting in
their room, their dog entered as usual. A
few momenta after he took a convulsive fit,
which give Mr. Killian an opportuniy to
put him out of the house. After being put out
ho immediately showed signs of hydropho
bia by biting any thing he met. Fortunato
ly he was killed before he did any damage.
RUNAWAY.-TWO horses attached to a
buggy, the property of Christian Musser of
Pequen twp., ran oft on Monday evening
from In front of Youart's hotel at Greet ti
landing, and created "considerable excite
ment by their rapid flight through the
streets. No material injury was caused by

I. 0. 0. F, or PENNSYLVANIA.--Tho
Pittsburg Post comments as follows upon
the annual session of the Orand Lodge of
Odd Fellows, which was lately held in that
city:
The marked and distinguished attention
of the Brotherhood in Pittsburg, and In fact
Allegheny county, is acknowledged by all
the Grand ()dicers and members of the
Grand Lodge, who have shown their appre
ciation of the kindness and hospitality ex
tended in various ways. The influence
which the session in our midst and the de
portment of the visitors from abroad, will
exert in this portion of the great jurisdic
tion of Pennsylvania will be incalculable,
and will have its few fiscal effects upon the
city and its surroundings for periods yet to
come.
The reports of the Order exhibit a success
unparalleled in its history, there being no
less than sixty-six thousand members In
this State, while there are over two hundred
thousand In the United States. To these can
now be added the lodges in tho Canadas and
the Sandwich Islands. Recent information
from Australia has demonstrated the fact
that the large Brotherhood without remote
regions numbering some live thousand
members, desire to affiliate and be admitted
under the Jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge
of the United States.
We doubt not that the day 111 not far dis
tant when the entire earth shall experience
the influence of the sound doctrines and
rn u a r T uri e r i l princ

contained in its runny lessons of Friendship,
Love and Truth!
COUNTRY PA PERS.—Those of our ex
change papers which give attention to local
matters, have always been poked into
with interest; and we shall miss their
familiar greeting, as also "the folks at
home," to whom many of them were car
ried. Pennsylvania is now dotted over
with cities and towns; very many of the
counties being distinguished for mining
operations and industrial works. In these
counties, as indeed in nearly all the coun
ties in the State, the local papers aro gener
ally managed with industry, tact and in
telligence, some of them with marked
ability. Wo love the country and towns
from which one can look out into a land
scape in summer robes, the hill tops bon
netted with shady groves, and the fields
gay and glad with grains and grasses;
where the brooks have the voices of little
children, Innocent and playful, and the
azure sky is radiant in light, which sheds
a glory upon earth.—FkuNorr—Phi/adet

THE BRIDGE.—The Wrightsville Aker
says that during the past week the first
span of the bridge across the river at that
place was, pot up, and from It an idea of the
entire structure can be formed. The bridge
will be built in the most substantial man
ner, so that the passage of heavy trains can
be safely made. The timber and materials
used in its construction are closely inspect
ed, and anything of a doubtful character is
immediately set aside. The new structure,
we do not think, will be adapted to the
conveniences of the public, as well as the
bridge burned. It is very narrow and dur
ing the passing of trains, no teams or carri
ages will be allowed on the bridge. This de
tention at either end, will certainly prove
vexations and cause, more or less, confu
sion. We presume, however that the
interests of the company building it, pre
dominated, anti tho conveniences of the
traveling community were thereby made to
suffer. The bridge will be covered with a
rail road track In the con Ere and two carriage
ways, one on each aide of the track. An iron
span will be put up about midway in the
bridge, so that In case of fire from either
side one half may be saved. It is confidently
expected that the frame work will be fin
ished by January 18% 1869, and to expedite:
the work, the roofing, weather-boarding,
will be postponed until the main trunk
is completed. An exchange furnishes the
following information regarding the new
bridge.
