I gazed upon the glorious sky,
And the green mountains round,
And thought that when I came to lie
Within the silent ground,
'Twere pleasant that in flowery Jane,
When brooks sent op a cheerful tune,
And groves a joyful sound,
The sexton's hand, my grave to make,
The rich green ino4ntaln turf should break
A cell within the frozen mould,
A conln borne through elect,
And Icy clods above It roll'd,
While fierce the tempests beat—
Away! I will not think of these—
Blue be the sky and soft the breeze,
Earth green beneath the feet,
And be tne damp mould gently press'el
Into my narrow place of rest.
There through the long, long summer hours,
ne golden light should lie,
And thing, young herbs and groups of flowers
Kited in their beauty by.
The oriole should build and tell
ills love tale close beside my cell;
The idle butterfly
should rest him there, and there he heard
The housewife bee and hummingbird.
And what, if cheerful chouta at noon
Home from the village sent
Or songs of maids beneath the moon
With fairy laughter Went ?
And what, If in the evening light,
Betrothed lovers walk in eight

Of my low monument?
1 would the lovely scene around
Might, know no sadder sight nor Hound
I know. I know I should not sea
The season's glorious snow,
Nor would Its brightness shine for me,
Nor its wild music now;
Rut If around my place or sleep,
The friends I love should come to weep,
They might not haste to go.
Holt aim and song. and light, and bloom
Should keep them lingering by my tomb
These to their anften'd hearts should bear
The thought of what has been.
Ann speak of one who cannot share
The gladness of the scene;
Whose part In all the pomp that Iwo
Tho circuit of the summer hills,

Al. d deeply would their hearts riJoice
To hear again his living voice.

The Publisher's Daughter
One hundred yenrs ago, what Mr.
John Murray, of Albemarle street, is
now to the city of London, was Mr.
James Haley to the city of Dublin.
; Besides being a publisher, he was the
proprietor of a newspaper called the
Dublin Mercury, which possessed such
an influence over the Irish mind as in
duced Lord Townshend to select it as
the official organ of the Irish govern
ment.
If Mr. Haley was happy in the pos
session of a newspaper which found un
limited patronage among the public and
the government, which enrolled among
its contributors the names of 111nrlay,
the Dean of Ferns, and Jephsou, dra
matist, and which had for an opponent
the Freeman's Journal, directed by the
once celebrated Dr. Lucas, lie was yet
more happy in the possession of Eliza
beth, his youngest daughter.
The girl was the belle of Dublin. She
had won this enviable distinction as
much through the accomplishments of
her mind as through the graces of her
person. It is recorded that her form
was matchless for its symmetry and
lightness. She had abundance of that
superb hair which is neithergolden nor
auburn, but that which seems to par
take of the beauties of both, mingling
their hues like those clouds which we
see floating above and around the set
ting sun. Her eyes were dark blue and
deep, her features classic in their prg@ci•
nlon—in the short, hauty lip, in the )bw
straight forehead, the oval, velvet-like
cheek and chin. Her hands were con
sidered to be the smallest and whitest
of any woman's in three kingdoms, and
her foot was taken by a well-known
bootmaker of the period as a model for
the slipper in the extravaganza of "Cin
derella." She could converse fluently
in several foreign languages, she was
a superb musician, and her paintings
elicited the approbation of the most
critical connoisseurs.
The admiration, however, which she
excited among the literary, and even
aristocratic circles in which she moved
did not in the least affect her. She had
a great deal too much sense to be flat
tered by the almost . fulsome compli
ments which the beaux of her acquaint
ance took every opportunity to whisper
to her. She cared little for society. The
only companionship she appeared to
value was that of her sister Grace. She
had been left motherless at au early age ;
but in Mr. Haley she found a father
who supplied every want engendered
by thp absence of the other parent with
a tenderness, a pride, and a care that
created a love between them that was
but little short of adoration. 11
Mr. Haley's drawing•room was over
the Merchry's office. In those days
fashion had not driven tradespeople
into houses away from their shops; and
the place of business which supplied the
publisher with his fortune he considered
quite good enough to furnish him with
a residence. In addition fo the family
circle' ccupying this drawing-room one
inlld summer's evening were Gabriel
Guenter, a young Frenchman, and
Charles Talbot.
Talbot was about five-and-twenty
years old at the period at which. my
story opens. Without being a strikingly
handsome man, he was possessed of
pretty much every requisite to manly
beauty. A lofty, white forehead . ; large,
flashing, black eyes; a sweet smile,
disclosing the whitest teeth; and a form,
strong, well-proportioned find supple,
made him a rather dangerous foe to the
peace of mind of those young ladies
who he took into his head to attack.
Gabriel was Grace's recognized lover.
They had been engaged some time, and
it was almost impossible to conceive any
Passion more pure, more generous, more
unvarying, than that which subsisted
between the young people.
Elizabeth, though courted, caressed
ana flattered on 'every side, had as yet
no lover of her own. Many other girls
placed in her position would, doubtless,
have fallen in love pretty well every
other day, considering the amount of
attention she got frOm mentor whom
all the Dublin girls were sighing. But
somehow or other, in proportion as she
was more wooed, so she became more
exacting. Her suitors all wanted some
one thing more than the poor fellows
happened to possess ; it might be a bet
ter-shaped nose, a smaller mouth, whiter
hands, a quicker wit, a finer character,
a more generous heart, &c. And so it
came to pass that she let them all go by
her, including even in her contempt a
viceroy, without feeling her heart in the
slightest degree 'alerted by the trying
ordeal through which her beauty had
compelled her to pass.
But a change was to come over the
dream of her life. The smile and eyes
of Charles Talbot were at length to
achieve a conquest that it was the gen
eral opinion among the beaux of Dub
lin was wholly impracticable.
Talbot had brought a letter of recom
mendation from the Earl of Shrews
bury to Mr. Haley. This, together with
the specimens of his skill as an en
graver, had induced the publisher to
give him employment. He acquitted
himself so admirably that, in the short
est time possilfle, he had won for him
self the regard and confidence of his
employer.
It occurred that during the evening
to which I have referred Mr. Haley had
Ipft the room for a short time. The
night was darkening outside. Eliza
beth rose, stirred the fire, and, while
the ruddy glow lighted up her lovely
features, turned to Talbot, and ex
claimed :
"Everybody hears a good deal of the
Earl of Shrewsbury; but I've never met
anybody yet who knows him personal
ly, saving yourself. What kind of a
looking man is he, Mr. Talbot? Is he
handsome, to begin with?
"Tolerably handsome. I don't think
him very good-looking,though I believe
the reverse is the opinion of, a good
many."
•
"Is he old ?"
Talbot smiled.
"One of the most piquant traits in
woman's character is curiosity. Let
me congratulate you upon the posses
sion of it in an eminent degree."
He' showed his white teeth, and
flashed his eye upon her as he spoke.
She colored a little, and looked down
ward at the fire.
"Is be often in love Mr. Talbot'?"
asked Grace. "Not often. But I would
not ansiver for that view of his charm
ter, were he once to set foot in this
drawing-Mom."
" Thatts meant for Lizzie,' said Grace.
" And why not for you 7" Talbot in

VOLUME 69
kind of strain until the return of Mr.
Haley, when the two young men rose,
and bidding good night, took their de
parture.
Six months passed away, during
which it happened that a coolness
sprang up between Gliertier and Talbot.
The sarcasms of the Englishman were
sometimes quite intolerable to the Some
what plebeian pride of the Frenchman.
Nevertheless they remained on speak
ing terms, and in the presence of others
even ventured upon the interchange of
apparently familiarities.
Grace, who was sharp at detecting the
secret dislike of her lover for Talbot,
could not, however, sympathize with it.
There was an attractiveness about Tal
bot that was not to be resisted. He was
just one of that kind of men whom a
man has most to fear as a rival, and
whom a woman has most to delight in
as a lover.
As for Elizabeth, her love for him
was profound, absorbing. She kept It
secret for a long time; but his quick
perception, on his declaring his love for
her, soon divined the passionate feelings
that animilted her heart for him.
Ono evening a brilliant party was
given by Jephson, the dramatist, in his
rooms in Change Alley. Among those
resent were Mr. Haley, Grace, Eliza-
eth and Guertier. Card-tables were
scattered about the room, around which
might be seen assembled groups attired
In the picturesque costumes with which
the paintings of that period had made
us all familiar. Elizabeth was seated
near one of these card-tables, watching
a game of basset that was being dexi
trously played-, when her attention was
called away by some persons laughing
heartily in the corner of the room ; and
on rising to remark the cause of this
sudden hilarity she perceived Talbot
standing in the centre of the group
laughing as heartily a 9 the rest.
It appeared that Talbot had been
amusing himself with sketching a por
trait of Charles Lucas, the butt and foe
of the wits of the dlierctow. The like
ness was a caricature, and presented an
absurd resemblance to Mr. Haley. Guer
tier bad drawn nigh, and on catching
sight of the drawing had burst out into
a laugh. This had attracted other by
standers, who, seeing what they fancied
to be the joke, fell to violently laughing
_
themselves.
" Give me that likeness, Talbot, will
you?" asked Guertier.
"Bab! it's not worth having," re
joined Talbot.
"However, you may take it if you
will, and turning upon his heel he
strolled away.
Guertier took the drawing, and be•
neath it wrote the words, "Old Raley."
Approaching Elizabeth, who, on catch•
lug sight of Talbot, had blushed and
resumed her seat, he placed the sketch
in her hands without comment. She
gazed at it for a moment, then indig
nantly exclaimed:
"Did Mr. Talbot do this '2'
"Yes," was the laconic reply; then,
after a moment's pause, he added, "it's
very like, isn't it? But what makes
you so angry ?"
She answered :
"I do not feel very well. I am not
angry."
But her white, contracted brows dis
tinctly denied her words. Scarcely had
Guertier left her side when Talbot ap
proached her.
"I have come to take you to the next
room," he said, gayly. " It's cooler
there, and the tables are spread with
the choicest repast I ever saw. Come!
"Did you draw this picture, Mr. Tal
bot'?"
He inspected it for a moment and
lien said:
"Yes."
"Your father wants you in the nest
.00m, Miss Haley," said Guertier, from
he door.
" Have you dared, Mr. Talbot, to cari
cature a man whom I so love?" she
said, eagerly and tearfully.
" Your father wants you in the next
room, Miss Haley," repeated Guertier.
"I will not entertain this company
with a scene, Mr. Talbot," she went
on; "but—"
" Why are you talking so wildly,
Miss Haley ?" exclaimed Talbot, clasp
ing his hands. " Surely—you—you— '
He stopped abruptly, fixing his big
eyes upon her with au expression half
of rage, half of adoration.
"li would be advisable for us not to
meet again," she said, rising and bow
ing haughtily to him.
He turned deadly pale.
"And all through a caricature of a
stupid fool l" he said.
She drew herself up, and gave him
one look ; then, turning sharply round
she followed Uuertier into the adjoin
ing room. In a quarter of an hour af
ter this the party left.
Who shall tell the bitterness of the
days and nights to Elizabeth that fol
lowed this quarrel with her lover'? Her
sister had married, her father was dead
—she was all alone now.
There had come a revelation from her
sister that had almost killed her. Tal
bot had not been guilty of the insult
which bad been the cause of their quar
rel. Grace had been told the secret by
her husband, and, compassionating her
sister's sadness, had communicated it
to her.
Her grief seemed to broaden around
her. It was miserable to remember that
she had lost a lover whom she had so
adored. It was almost death to know
how he had been lost.
She accepted an invitation to spend a
few weeks with some friends in Lon
don, thinking that new scenes would
help to subdue the dejection to which
her mind was now constantly a prey.
But the very hum and shock of the huge
metropolis seemed only to add a new
bitterness to her sense of solitude. •
One evening she encountered Charles
Talbot in the streets. She had not seen
him now for a long, long Ime. She
was, with some friends, passing by an
exhibition of engravings in Fleet street.
He did not recognize her, but she knew
him at once. He did not look so well
as she remembered seeing him when
last they met. She would have given
her whole heart to speak to him ; but
even while she hesitated the crowd
surged a little to and fro, and when she
looked around he was gone.
Their next meeting was brought about
by an extraordinary coincidence. It
appeared that the friends with whom
Elizabeth was stopping possessed some
valuable engravings, which they were
desirous of selling. They had been
placed in the drawing-room, and during
the day parties of strangers would drop
in for the purpose of inspecting them.
Elizabeth was seated alone in the
room, contemplating the engravings
with an abstracted gaze. She had en
tered just as some visitors had taken
their departure. Hardly five minutes
had elapsed when the door was suddenly
thrown open, and Mr. Talbot was shown
in. On seeing him Elizabeth uttered a
low cry. He stopped, as if struck with
astonishment; then, hastily advancing,
he exclaimed:
"I little expected to meet you here,
Miss Haley. Will my presence embarrass
you if I remain about three minutes to
inspect some of the sketches?"
She was intensely mortified by his
coolness. Without raising her eyes
from the giound she answered :
"If I find your presence embarrasses
me, I can easily leave the room."
He made no answer, but commenced
his inspection. She did not raise her
eyes from the ground for some minutes.
When she did, she found that Talbot
was leaning against a screen, with fold
ed arms, and with his eyes intently fix
ed upon her. The instant their glances
met she rose, and was about to leave the
room. when, hastily advancing, he
seized her by the hand.
" Elizabeth, my darling Elizabeth !"
he exclaimed, in musical, passionate
accents, " do not leave me now 1 You
blamed me falsely once—l loved you
well, then—ay, still love you! I was
wronged—cruelly wronged ! You know
it! Will you leave me ? I am leaving
England soon—perhaps forever! I am
poor; destitute! Yet I. cannot leave the
old country without hearing one tender
adieu from her whom only I have loved
in this world, whom only —"
He paused, overwhelmed with his
feelings .
All the old memories of bygone days
rushed over her as she met his full, lov
ing eyes beaming down into hers. His
warmulasp was on her hand, his warm
breath was on her cheek—he was draw
ing her to his heart and she could not
resist him. One sigh, and she was
upon his breast, telling him how long
and fondly she had loved him.
"My own darling! Heaven • bless
you! My wife—my own—"
The door was thrown open and the
owner of the pictures walked in.
"Why my lord, is it possible? he ex
claimed, throwing np his hands. " I
had no idea you were acquainted with
Miss Haley. 'Elizabeth how long have
you known the Earl of Shrewsbury ?"
Elizabeth started back, white and
trembling.
"The Earl of Shrewsbury !" she cried,
"what does this mean, Charles. Are
you- , '
"The Earl of Shrewsbury, Lizzie ?
Yes, I am. And you are the future
Countess of Shrewsbury. Mr. Walker,
let me receive your congratulations up
on the choice I. have made of a girl who
this day month will be my wife."
He spoke truly, for on that day month
the publisher's daughter became the
Countess of Shrewsbury.
The Sailor Boy of Havre
A French brig was returning from
Toulon to Havre with a rich cargo and
numerous passengers. Off the coast of
Bretagne, It was overtaken by a sudden
and violent storm.
CaptainP—, an experienced sailor •
at once saw the danger which threat
ened the ship on such a rocky coast,
and gave orders to put out to sea; but
thAwind ttfid waves drove the brig vio
le.%lly toward shore, and notwithstand
ing all the efforts of the crew, it con
tinued to get nearer the land.
Among the most active on board do
ing all that he could to help, was little
Jacques, a lad twelvfo years old, who
was serving as cabin-boy in the vessel.
At times when be disappeared for a
moment behind the folds of the sails,
the sailors thought he had fallen over
board; and again, when a wave threw
him on the deck, they looked around
to see If it had not carried away the poor
boy with it, but Jacques was soon up
again unhurt.
"My mother," said he, smiling, to an
old sailor, " would be frightened enough
if she saw me just now."
His mother, who lived In Havre, was
very poor and had a large family. Jac •
ques loved her tenderly, and he was
enjoying the prospector carrying to her
his little treasure—two franc-pieces,
which he had earned as wages for the
voyage.
The brig was beaten about a whole
day by the storm, and in spite of all the
efforts of the.crew they could not steer
clear of the rocks on the coast. By the
gloom on the captain's brow, it might
be seen that he had little hope of sav
ing the ship. All at once a violent
shock was :felt, accompanied by a hor
rible crash; the vessel had struck on a
rock. At this terrible moment the pas
sengers threw themselves on their knees
to pray.
" Lower the boats !" cried the cap
tain.
The sailors obeyed ; but they soon
were carried away by the violence of
the waves.
" We have but one hope of safety,"
said the captain. " One of us must be
brave enough to run the risk of swim
ming.with a rope to shore. We may
fasten one end to the mast of the vessel
and the other to a rock on the coast,
and by that means we may all get on
shore."
" But, captain, it is impossible !" said
the mate, pointing to the surf breaking
on the sharp rocks. " Whoever should
attempt such a risk would certainly be
dashed to pieces,"
`Well,' said the captain, in a low
tone, " we must all die together."
At this moment there was a slight
stir among the sailors who were silently
waiting for orders.
" What is the matter there?" asked
the captain.
" Captain," replied a sailor, " this
little monkey of a cabin-boy is asking
to swim to shore with a strong string
round his body to draw the cable after
him ,• he is as obstinate as a little mule !"
and he pushed Jacques into the midst
of the circle.
The boy stood turning his cap round
and round in his hand without daring
to utter a word.
" Nonsense ! such a child can't go,"
said the captain roughly.
But Jacques was not a character to be
so easily discouraged.
"Captain," said he timidly, "you
don't wish to expose the lives of good
sailors like those; it does not matter
what becomes of a " little monkey of a
cabin-boy, as the boatswain calls me.
Give me a ball of strong string, which
will unroll as I get on, fasten one end
round my body, and I promise you that
within an hour the rope will be well
fastened to the shore, or I will perish in
the attempt."
" Does he know how to swim ?" asked
the captain.
"As swiftly and as easy as an eel,"
replied one of the crew.
I could swim up the Seine from
Havre to Paris," said little Jacques.
The captain hesitated ; but the lives
of all on board were at stake, and he
yielded. Jacques hastened to prepare
for his terrible undertaking. Then he
turned and softy approached the captain.
,Captain," said be, "as I may be lost.
May I ask you to take charge of some
thing for me ?"
"Certainly, my boy," said the captain,
who was almost repenting of having
yielded to his entreaties.
"Here, then, captain," replied Jac
ques, holding out two five-franc pieces
wrapped in a bit of rag; ILI am eaten
by the porpoises, and you' get safe to
land, be so kind as to give this to my
mother, who lives on the quay at Havre,
and will you tell her that I thought of
her, and that I loved her very much, as
well as all my brothers and sisters ?"
"Be easy about that my boy. If you
die for us, and we escape, your mother
shall never want for anything.
"Oh! then I will willingly try to save
you!" cried Jacques,' hastening to the
other side of the vessel, where all was
prepared for his enterprise.
The captain thought for a moment.
"We ought not to allow this boy to sac
rifice himself for us in this way," said
he at length; I have been wrong. I
must forbid it."
"Yes, yes," said some of the sailors
round him, "it is disgraceful to us all
that the little cabin-boy should set us
an example of courage; and it would be
a sad thing if the child should die for
old men like us, who have lived our
time. Let us stop him."
They rushed to the side of the vessel,
but it was too late. They found there
only the sailor who had aided Jacques
in his preparations, and who was un
rolling the cord that was fastened to the
body of the heroic boy. They all leaned
over the side of the vessel to see what
was going to happen, and a few quietly
wiped away a tegr which would not be
restrained. *"
At first nothing was seen but waves
of white foam, mountains of water
which seemed to rise as high as the
mast, and then fell down with a thun
dering roar. Soon the practiced eye of
some of the sailors perceived a little
black point rising above the waves, and
then again distance prevented them
from distinguishing it at all. They anx
iously watched the cord and tried to
guess, by its quicker or slower move
ments, the fate of him who was unroll
ing it.
Sometimes the cord was unrolling
rapidly. " Oh, what a brave fellow "
they said, " see how quickly he swims !"
At other times, the unrolling of the ball
string stopped suddenly; "poor boy,"
they said, "he has been drowned or
dashed against the rocks "
This anxiety lasted more than an
hour ; the ball of string continued to be
unrolled, but in unequal periods. At
length it slipped slowly over the side of
the vessel, and often fell as if slackened.
They thought Jacques must have some
difficulty in getting through the surf on
the coast.
"Perhaps it is the body of the poor
boy that the sea is tossing backwards
and forwards in this way, " said some
of the sailors.
The captain was deeply grieved that
he had permitted the child to make the
attempt; and notwithstanding the des
perate situation in which they were, all
the crew . ecetned to be thinking more
of the boy than of themselves.
All at once a violent pull was given
to the chord. This was soon followed
by a second, then a third. It was the
signal agreed upon to tell them that
Jacques had reached the shore. A shout
of joy was heard on the ship. They
hastened to fasten a strong rope to the
chord, which was drawn on shore as
fast as they could let it out, and was
firmly fastened by some of the people
who had come to the help of the little
cabin-boy.. By means of this rope many
of the shipwrecked sailors reached the
shore, and found means to ease others.
Not long' after all had safely landed
they saw the vessel sink.
The little cabin boy was long ill from
the consequences of his fatigue, and
from the. bruises he had received by
being dashed against the rocks. But
he did not mind that : for, in reward
LANCASTER PA. WEDNESDAY MORNING JUNE 24 1868
of his bravery, his mother received a
yearly sum of money Which placed her
above the fear of want. Little Jacques
rejoiced in having, suffered for her, and
at the same time in having saved so
many lives, He felt that he had been
abundantly rewarded.
The Great Earthquake and Volcanic
Eruption at the Ilawalan Islands.
[Special Corresponce of the N. Y. Times.
On the 27th ult. a series of earth
quakes commenced in the districts of
Hilo, Kau and Kona. They became
more frequent and startling from day
to day, until the succession became so
rapid that the Island quivered, likethe
lid of a boiling pot, nearly all the time
between the heavier shocks. The
trembling was much like that of a ship
when struck by a great wave, or upon
the discharge of a heavy battery.
On the 28th, Mauna Loa, our great
volcanic mountain, was seen to be on
fire. Old Moknaweoweo, the summit
crater, breathed out fire and smoke
from her deep throat. Soon the South
ern slope of the mountain was rent
open, and from four different roints
fiery streams issued and ran off In di
vergent lines, obliterating hills and fill
ing up vallies in their course.
The largest of these streams ran in a
southerly direction, toward the Kona
district, about fifteen miles. Then sud
denly, all the mountain valves closed.
The fire, the smoke, the stream, disap
peared together. All sub-aerial action
seemed to have ceased. All eyes were
looking to the hills, and every one was
inquiring, "Where is the volcano 9"
The great lateral crater of Mauna Loa
was meanwhile in unusually furious
action. Kilauea is never entirely qui
escent; but now, it boiled and roared,
throwing down avalanches of rocks
from its mighty perpendicular walls.
This crater is nine miles in circumfer
ence, and for many years past has been
about 1,000 feet deep; but now, drained
by the vast outpouring of melted min
erals from below, the plateau of indura
ted lavas which forms the bottom of
this immense crater has sunk hundreds
of feet, and the entire depth is much
greater than before. This crater, which
is constantly active, should not be con
founded with the terminal or summit
crater upon the same mountain. It is
from the latter that our great eruptions
commonly make their first appearance,
pouring forth abeacon-light of fiery lava
at a height of 14,000 feet above the sea.
But the lateral crater seldoms fails to
be effected by the mighty forces which
raise the molten lava to this elevation.
It soon became evident, in this case,
that the great molten ocean, which had
commenced its overflow from the sum
mit of the volcanic mountain, was now
about to force an outlet at some less ele
vated point. Instead of pouring from
the mouth of Mokuaweoweo the flood
of fusion was pressing, melting and
rending its way along subterranean
channels with a power that the very
foundations of our island could not
withstand.
With the disappearance of the fire
from the terminal crater the first terri
ble shoCk of earthquake occurred. It
prostrated a large church and:several
dwelling houses in Kakuku, near the
southern extremity of the island, and
filled all the inhabitants of that region
with consternation.
From this time until the 2d inst. no
fire was visible except in Kilauea.
There the action was intense. Large
portions of the floor of the crater were
broken up by floods of fusion and ex
plosions of steam. The outer walls of
the crater were shattered and rent, and
earthquakes followed each other in
rapid succession, the earth quivering
almost incessantly by day and night.
At Hilo the ground throbbed and trem
bled with motions thatdaily grew more
positive and intense. The movement
was sometimes lateral, sometimes ver
tical, sometimes undulating or rotary,
yet nothing seriously alarming occur
red until Thursday, the 2d of April.
On this day, at 4 P. M., an event oc
curred which defies description. Such
a shock has no record in the memory,
the history, or the traditions of these
Islands. It lasted from two to three
minutes, and was terrific. Houses
jarred, cracked, swayed, slid, rose and
sunk upon their foundations. Many
buildings in Kau, including nearly all
the churches, and some in Hilo, fel .
Many others which stood are so rackee
and broken as to be nearly useless.
Most of the stone buildings, including
the Hilo Jail, were destroyed. Trees
swayed and fell; thousands of yards of
stone fences went down ; great boulders
were rolled and tossed about like foot
balls. Land-slides were numerous, and
precipices fell thundering into the sea.
The earth rent in a thousand plades ;
fissures opened from one inch to six.
eight and ten feet in breadth. The
streets and fields of Hilo cracked, and
seams opened all around us, where
we had supposed that volcanic
forces had long ago left their fi
nal traces. Riders and horesemen
were thrown to the ground, and
multitudes of men wereprostrated by the
shock. In Kau the convulsions of the
earth were so tremendous that men had
to steady themselves by holding on to
shrubs and rocks, in order to avoid be
ing bruised against the ground. Our
streams ran mud. Our houses were
strewn with debris from garret to cellar,
Bureaus, tables, cabinets, bookcases,
wardrobes, glass and earthenware, all
moveable things in short, were thrown
pell-mell. My largest bookcase, which
stood nearly east and west,was prostrated
toward the.north ; while my cabinet of
shells, which stood at rightangles to the
former direction, remained standing ;
seeming to prove that the most violent
lateral oscillations, at least, were in the
direction of the magnetic needle. Dr.
Wetmore's drug-store was thrown into
utter disorder; the whole hduse fumed
with the mixture of incompatible acids,
the floor was covered with the wreck of
glass bottles and retorts, and it is a mar
vel that explosion and fire did not occur.
The confused noises, the dust, the aw
ful throes of the earth, the falling of
rocks into the sea, the consternation of
men and animals, made a scene which
baffles description,—a scene of terror
f such as our islands have never witness
ed before. The crust of the earth rose
and sank like the sea in a storm. It
seemed as if the rocky ribs of the moun
tains and the granite walls and pillars of
the world were breaking. At this mo
meu t the ground was suddenly rent open
in Kau, between the lands of Messrs.
Reed and Richardson and Judge F. S.
Lyman. As quickly as the discharge
of a battery or the explosion of a shell,
a vast eruption of mud, rocks and earth
(not heated) took place, disgorging a
mass three miles long and half as wide,
which instantaneously buried a village
with its thirty-one native inhabitants,
and 500 or 600 head of cattle. The dis
charge was so sudden that there was no
escape for those within Its range. At
the same time the sea rose and fell rap
idly all around the shores of the island, a
coast circumference of 200 miles. In Hilo
Bay it came up toFront-street, a height
of six or eight feet above high water
mark. In the district of Puna it rose
from ten to fifteen feet sweeping away
a number of houses and drowning one
person. But in Kau the tidal wave
came in twenty or twenty-five feet high,
destroying all the villages and churches
of the lower shores, and drowing scores
of people. Men, women and children,
with all their earthly substance, were
swept away in an instant. Nearly 100
people, in all, were killed, and seventy
or eighty escaped wounded from the
Beene of the catastrophe.
Some of the survivors of that afflicted
district escaped by sea to the Island of
Oahn. Others are still holding on to the
trembling earth where their desolated
homes remain. But mostof the inhabi
tants fled to the districts of Hilo and
Puna, a two day's journey. Hundreds
are houseless wanderers, bereft of all
worldly possessions. Scores of them are
in our village. Not only their houses,
but also, In many cases, their planta
tions and lands:are swallowed up. Their
accounts are affecting. 'lbis man:says :
"'My house Is fallen, and my wife and
two children are dead, ' and I am left
alone to tell thee." They dome to Hilo
like Job's messengers of grief one
treading' upon the heel of another.
The next messenger says: was
eating with my family in my
house on the shore, when suddenly
a great wave struck the building.,
and, of six, ' I am left alone to tell
thee.'" Another comes to me saying:
"My husband and children were fish
ing on the sea-shore, and a great wave
took them out to sea, and I am, left
alone to tell thee." Another hurries in
and says, "I was in. the field catching
my horse, when lo !.,the earth rent and
disgorged vast masses of mud, swallow
ing up my house and my lands and my
family of thirteen, and I alone am
escaped to tell thee." And... tnighko
on and repeat indefinitely these taIES of
woe—of parents made childless, chil
dren
.made orphtins, husbands and
wives sundered or buried together with
children, friends, houses and all their
possessions in a moment of time. sut
I forbear. God's dealings with Kau are
indeed terrible, yet it cannot be b,cause
they are "sinners abve all men."
There terrible, phenomena occurred
mainly upon the 2d of April. On the
7th Manna Lon was again rent open,
this time near its southern base, and a
flood of incandescent lava burst out.
The great stream of mixed fusion is now
pouring into the sea near the southern
cape of Hawaii, and the heaving earth
is,relieved. Since this outburst of the
pent-up fires we have felt relief from
apprehension-. The earthquakes, in
deed, continue, but with diminished
force and at wider intervals. We trust
the great danger is over. Families who
camped out at night are returning to
their houses, and a thousand hands are
busy at repairs.
As earthquakes have never before
proved destructive at these islands, we
hope that the late phenomena will not
be soon repeated. Still we find our
selves holding our treasures more loosely
than heretofore, not knowing how long
they may be ours.
The natives were less alarmed than
the foreign residents. The terror of the
children, particularly, was pitiable.—
Few slept in Hilo during the night of
the great earthquakes. The whole town
was out of doors. Men walked under
the tamarind and guava trees, or sat in
the low and light thatched huts of the
natives, watching the glow of the dis
tant eruption. For several nights we.
did not occupy our own house, but took
refuge under a thatched roof. Our pee
ple were for several days in such an ex
cited
state that they started at the rust
ling of a leaf. For a time after returning
to our home we slept near an open door
in order to be able to leave on a mo
ment's warning if necessary.
We trust that we have now seen the
end of the most gigantic, if not the
most destructive, eruption on record.
A Big Blast---Blowing Away a Moan-
tain in California
From the San Francisco 13ulleLlu.
You must know that the Government
is about beginning the construction of a
twin fort to the one at Fort Point, on the
other side of the entrance to the harbor,
which is called Lime Point. The pre
liminary arrangements, such as quarters
and messhouses for workmen, work
shops, roads, wharf, etc., were begun
last fall, and appear to be now in a
complete condition. The work is in
charge of Col. Meigiell, of the corps of
engineers. Itso haTpens that the proper
site of a fort here is covered by a high
rocky hill, which rises from two hun
dred and fifty to three hundred feet
above the level where the fort is tostand,
It becomes necessary, therefore, to clear
away this hill before beginning the con
struction of the fort. The blast on Satur
day last was the first that has been made
and beingone of the largest and mostsuc
cessful that has ever been made in the
country, I have thought that a short
description of it would be interesting
to your readers. Imagine, then, the
straight face of a rocky hill arising out
of the water to a height of about 250
feet ; the surface of the hill standing,
not vertically, but at a slope somewhat
steeper than forty-five degrees. Imagine
a small tunnel bored straight into this
hill about sixty feet; it then turns at
right-angles and runs parallel to the
face of the hill for a like distance of
sixty feet. At the end of the tunnel a
chamber is excavated and a charge of
4,000 pounds of powder is put into it.
'The tunnel is then filled up with clay
and sand for a distance of forty -five
feet, where another chamber had been
excavated which receives a charge of
3,500 pounds of blasting powder. This
being in position and a wire led from
each charge through the tunnel to the
outside, the whole tunnel was filled up
with clay and sand to its mouth. The
wires from the mines were led away to
a small box called Beardslee's mag
neto-electric machine, which had
been placed in a secure position,
the object being to fire both char
ges simultaneously. Here, then, we
have two charges of powder, one of
4,000 pounds, the other of 3,500 pounds,
placed forty-five feet apart and fifty
feet from the face of a rocky hill, the
hill rising two hundred feet above the
powder. We are going to explode them
at the same instance of time, and see
what will happen. It has been our
good fortune to have seen much heavy
blasting in our lifetime. We have wit
nessed the construction of the Baltimoi.e
and Ohio, and of the Hudson River
Railroads,lmany portions of which roads
were blasted out of the solid rock ; and
we have heard the artillery of the Cen
tral Pacific Railroad in the Sierra Ne
vadas ; but never before have we seen-a
blast like the one now to be made.
The subject had been fully investiga
ted by Colonel Mendell, and the quan
tity of powder duly proportioned to the
work to be done, but still, before the
explosion, the whole thing was looked
upon as an experimental blast. Every
thing being now in readiness, the
wires were connected with the little
box, the machine set in motion and the
connections made, when lo! the moun
tain was seen to labor. There was no
explosion in the popular sense of that
term. A little smoke and flame was
seen to escape through the moving mass
of rock, and the whole face of the hill
in front of the charges was seen to move
obtward, falling down into the sea.—
And then was witnessed a sight rarely
seen—a hill without a foundation giv
ing way and tumbling into the depths
below. There was no noise from the
powder, and not a stone was thrown 50
feet from its position by the force of the
explosion, yet the sight was grand, and
being unaccompanied by any visible I
cause, was awful from its very silence.
For half a minute, the masses of rock
above came rolling down the face of the
hill, to seek their watery grave below,
presenting to the mind such aprolonged
period of instability that one involun
tarily looked beneath him to see if be
too was not in motion. When the rooks
above had broken away to the heightof
about 175 feet above the water, the
motion ceased, being renewed, however,
from time to time, for several hours, as
still other masses above, finding them
selves unsupported, broke away and
rolled down into the deep. The result
of this experimental blast, in an engi
neering view, was very satisfactory.
There was neither to much nor too little
powder ; the simultaneous explosion of
the two charges was effected perfect
ly, and the work that was intended
to be done was perfectly accom
plished. A visit to the locality yester
day, revealed the fact that 40,000 cubic
yards—say 80,000 tons of rock—had been
removed by the blast. Of course all of
this rock was not thrown down into the
sea; much of it will have to be yet
rolled down by hand.
Still, the result was very striking
-7,500 pounds of powder moved 80,000
tons of stone, or more than ten tons per
pound of powder. The economic view
is perhaps still more striking. We are
informed by Colonel Mendell that the
cost of the tunnel, powder, stamping,
etc., was abouts2,ooo ; therefore we have
40,000 cubic yards, or about 80,000 tons
of stone, moved, that is, shook up and
broken to pieces, for $2,000, which gives
the cost per cubic yard five cents, and
per ton two and a half.

' Deacon Simes was an austere man,
who followed oystering, and was of the
hard-shell persuasion. The deacon "al

that the money which he received for
"asters," did- not belong. to him.—
"The good Father made the isters,"
said the deacon, " and the money
is his'n ; I'm only a stooart."—
They do say the deacon had a way of
getting about ten cents more on a hun

business for somebody else. One Sun
day morning the old fellow was tearing
round from house to house, with a sus
picious bit of currency in his hand, and
more than a suspicion of rage in his fete.
Some one had given him a bad fifty

The following is a copy of the Constitu
tion adopted by the Association:

Wednesday Afternoon Session.—Nearly
all the time of the Convention on yesterday
after noon was occupied with the Sabbath
School Children's meeting. The children
proceeded in procession accompanied by
their teachers from the places where their
respective Sunday Schools are held, to the
Presbyterian church in Orange street, the
place for holding the afternoon's session.
They were all comfortably seated in the ,
middle of the church immediately in front '
of the pulpit; the children belonging to the
Orphan's Home were also present and at
tracted much attention by their neat ap
pearance, and good behaviour during the
exercises. The presence of so many bright,
happy, little faces, and the neat, tasty man
ner in which the bands of affectionate
mothers or kind friends had arrayed these
little ones had an inspiring effect upon all
who were present, and presented a scene of
innocence and beauty seldom witnessed.
The church was comfortably filled but not
crowded by the members of the Sabbath
School Convention and persons attending
the meeting to witness the proceedings and
hear the addresses to the children, which
were to be delivered by the able advocates
of the Sabbath School cause, who had vis
ited our city to assist in the promotion of
the good work,
The exercises of the meeting were opened
with the singing of the beautiful Hymn
entitled " We are coming, blessed Saviour"
by the children, and with prayer by the
Rev. Bishop Bigler.
Prof. John Beck of Litiz, then delivered
an address to the children, which was well
adapted to impress them with the import
ance of humility and of a strict attendance
at Sabbath School, instead of running about
the streets in company with vicious com
panions. The pilot of a vessel or steam
boat avoids the rocks and sand-bars of the
river upon which he sails„so should the
little boy and girl in sailing down the river
of live avoid the rocks of sin which are
sure to wreck their boat, unless they are
guided by that best of charts, the Bible.
Several stories were related by the speaker
to his youthful auditors, all of which served
to interest them and at the same time con
vey to their minds the necessity of conduct
ing themselves well while young, and when
in after years they are called away from
Earth, they will receive their reward in
Heaven.
After the singing of an appropriate Hymn
by the children they were addressed in an
exceedingly able and entertaining manner
by Mr. W. A. Wisong, of Baltimore, Md.
The speaker in the beginning of liTs remarks
dwelt upon the evil results of disobedience
on the part of children to their parents;
children who are impudent to their parents
In their youth, become impudent young
men and women. Mr. W. stated that he had
taught for a long time in a Sunday School
where the older boys were 75 or 80 years of
age and the youngest of them about 15 years
old. They all dressed alike and in a .gen
eral way were attentive to their lessons.
The speaker said he referred to his teaching
in the State Penitentiary in Baltimore; he
related some interesting facts concerning
the prisoners, how they bad been led to
steal little things at first, and were in this
manner induced to commit greater larcen•.
his until they were detected and sent to the
prison.
The time allotted on the programme to
Mr. Wisong for speaking having expired,
he was followed by J. A. Gardner, Esq., of
Philadelphia, who introduced the B:actlve
board Exercises to the : attention of the au
dience and the children, and succeeded in
I instructing and amusing both, by the man
ner in which he explained the parable of
the Pharisee and the Publican by means c f
its aid. Those who witnessed Mr. Gard
ner's explanation of this familiar and beau
tiful parable, most have been folly con
vinced of the superiority of the system of
teaching by aid ofthe Blackboard over the
old, dull, stereotyped plan now too goner
ally practised in our Sunday Schools. We
are compelled for want of apace to omit the
latter part of Mr. Gardner's remarks, which
were of a very entertaining character and
were calculated to effect much good by im
pressing upon parents the importance of
teaching their children the habitual use of
prayer, and that they should always be
taught to pray understandingly.
After the singing of a hymn by the chil
dren, and a prayer by Mr. Gardner, a short
address was delivered by Rev. George A.
Peitz. This gentleman excused himself
from making any extended remarks on
account of the sore condition of his throat,
the result of a bad cold. He related a
short story to the children respecting a fly,
a spider, and a spider's web, and conclu
ded with stating the impressive moral
taught by it.
The Sabbath School Children's Meeting
then closed with the staging of the hymn
entitled "Shall we Sing in Heaven .For
ever," and the benediction by Rev. Geo.
A. Peitz.
After the dismission of the . Children's
Meeting, a short session of the " Sabbath
School Association" was held ; the Chair
man, Dr. Keneagy, presiding.
The Committee appointed to nominate
per Sons to fill the offices called for by the
Constitution of "The School Association of
Lancaster County" reported the following
named persons, who were on motion unan
imously elected permanent Officers of the

A number of townships are not represen
ted by u vice.president, but it is the inten
tion of the Association to till these vacan
cies as early as practicable. On motion, the
Secretary was empowered lto appoint per
sons to take the place of any of the officers
named, who would on account of any un
foreseen circumstances be unable to serve
upon their being notified by that officer of
their election.
The afternoon session of the "Sabbath
School Association" closed with the singing
of the Doxology; and the benediction by
the Rev. Mr. Rlemensnyder.
Wednesday Evening Session.—Tbe eve
ning meeting of the Sabbath School Asso
ciation was well attended. Ex-Governor
James Pollock was not present; his place
on the programme was occupied by Rev.
George A. Peitz, of Philadelphia, President
of the State Sabbath School Association,
who delivered an able address on the ex
tension and promotion of the Sabbath
School cause.
Excellent speeches were also made by
Mr. W. A. Wisong, of Baltimore, and J. A.
Gardner, Esq., of Philadelphia, abstracts of
which we are compelled to omit for want of
space.
On the suggestion of Col. Wm. L. Bear, a
Committee was appointed to draft a series
of resolutions expressive of the thanks of
the Association to those who addressed It
during its recent sessions, and also to the
citizens of Lancaster for the encouragement
and sympathy it has uniformly received
from them. The meeting was dismissed
with prayer, and the benediction by the
Rev. E. it. Nevin.

THE HORTICULTURAL EXTUBITION AND
STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL.—The Horticul
tural Exhibition, advertised to be given
under the auspices of the Lancaster City
and County Agricultural and Horticultural
Soch ty, opened Wednesday afternoon in the
Orphans' Court Room at the Court House,
this city. There was quite a brilliant dis
play of Flowers, Fruits and Vegetables,
(fully equal, we believe, to any other Exhi
bition of the kind ever held,) all of which
were very appropriately distributed amid
neatly arranged on two large tables extend
ed lengthwise across the room.
ME=
The Floral part of the Exhibition consist
ed of a great number of pretty bouquets,
tastefully and carefully gotten up for the
occasion, and were donated by Miss Mary
D. Nauman, Mrs. P. Schaum, Peter
Riley, of this city; Mary end Laura E.
Reist, of Petersburg; M. D. Kendig and
others. The bouquets were put in vases,
which stood at equal distances from each
other, while in the vacant spaces between
the vases were cups and tumblers contain
ing two or throe single flowers, as speci
mens of choice varieties of the Rose, etc.
Among these we noticed several roses of
the Jacquiminot variety, which were pre
sented by Miss Nauman and Mr. Riley,
and were very beautiful, being of a deep,
rich crimson color.
The Fruit consisted of Strawberries of
many - varieties, profuse in quantity, and
most excellent in quality. The following
list comprises the names of the gentlemen
who have placed some very fine berries on
exhibition, together with the names of the
different varieties, viz:
H. M. Engle, of Marietta, had the largest
assortment, among which were the well
known varieties of the Ida, Starr, Wilson's
Albany, Lady Finger, Globose Scarlet,
Green Prolific, Jucunda, Agriculturist,
Crimson Favorite, Triomph de Band, Ho
vey. Fillmore, French's Seedling, Golden
Seeded, Trollope's Victoria, Russel's Pro
ific, and Ladies' Pine.
Besides these, Mr. Engle had still a num
ber of Seedlings of his own raising, and of
which the ditlerent varieties were not speci
fied. They aro crosses from the following
plants, the first named of each (which is
generally most promirent) being the fe
male: The Albany and Peabody, Russell
and Col. .6111sv..orth, Agriculturist and Tri
omph de Gand, Agriculturist and Golden
Seeded, Fillmore and Brooklyn Scarlet,
Globose Scarlet and Golden Seeded, Fill
more and Golden Seeded, Globose Scarlet
and Peabody, Fillmore and Triomph de
Gand, Globose and Brooklyn Scarlet, Glo
bose Scarlet and Col. Ellsworth, Agricul
'jurist and Brooklyn Scarlet, Fillmore and
Monitor, Fillinore and Peabody, and one
of which the pedigree has be st, —all of
1865. Three varieties trot frottYCfie Albany and
Peabody of 1862, Nos. 11, 16, and 5, which
have been fully tested and classed. No 16
is a favorite of Mr. Engle's ; he pronounces
it to be a very hardy plant and very pro
lific.
Casper Hiller comes next in order,baving
also a very extensive assortment of choice
berries, consisting of the Naomi, Wilson's
Albany, Trollope's Victoria, Jucuncln, New
Jersey Scarlet, Ida, French's Seedling,
Seedling Eliza, Green Prolific, Agricultur
ist and Downer's Prolific. These were
magnificent berries, decidedly the finest
we have ever seen. French's Seedling bids
fair to eclipse the Agriculturalist and Tri •
omph; de Gand in general favor, and is al
ready pronounced by some to be the best
berry ter eating, as it possesses a very high
flavor. Mr. H.'s Seedling Eliza is also a
fine looking berry.
On the same table, A. D. Hostetter had
Burr's New Pine, Wilson's Albany, and a
new variety for name.
Sam'! Biukley had elegant berries of
these throe varieties—the Agriculturist,
Fillmore and Jucunda.
On this table also wo noticed a cluster,
taken from the garden of Mr. Peter Riley,
on East Orange street, of the Agriculturist
variety, consisting of three mammoth ber
ries, almost ripe, three other large green
ones, and ton smaller ones, which was ad
mitted by all who have had experience in
the production of strawberries, to have been
very unusual, and something which they
had never seen equalled or surpassed. Mr.
Riley has many more varieties of the straw
berry,and would have had some on exhibi
tion, but for the backwardness of the sea-.
eon, and none of them being ripe enough.
J. H. Hershey, Robrorstown, exhibited
fine specimens of Wilson's Albany, J ucun
da, and Russell's Prolific.
Henry Erb, residing near Fairview, had
a few berries of the Triomph do Hand and
Wilson's Albany.
Mr. Levi S. Heist contributed a few ap
ples, peaches and plums of good size,
pluckced in Central Missouri on the 2d day
of June.
On this table, also, by way of variety wo
presume, were three jars of canned fruit,
exhibited by H. K.Stoner ; onejar contained
large yellow poaches, while the others had
pears—the Bartlett and Dutchess ; a large
bouquet covered with a glass, inside of
which were a number of the seven
teen year locusts; and four bottles
of superior Blackberry Wine, manufac
tured and exhibited by J. G.Peters, Slack
water P. 0., this county. The canned fruit
was very nicely put up, and looked de
licious as might ho expected. The wine of
Mr. Peters was pronounced by those who
tasted it, and who claim to be good judges,
to be a very excellent article. Wo are in
formed that Mr. P. has fifty barrels of this
wine, and is prepared to receive orders for it.
On the opposite table, John B. Erb, of
Beaver Valley, made a pretty large display
of the Early Red, Wilson's Albany, Early
Scarlet, Prolific Hautboy, Scotch Seedling,
and Beaver Valley Seedling, N. 1.
Geo. W. Shroyer had some choice berries
of the Agriculturist, Wilson's Albany,
French's Seedling and Early Scarlet varie
ties.
M. D. Kendig exhibited Lino berries of
Wilson's Albany and French's Seedling.
John Metzler, of Sporting Hill, had Wil
son's Albany and the Agriculturist, large
and beautiful berries of these varieties.
Sam'l Burns exhibited excellent berries
of the Wilson's Albany. Mr. B. has other
varieties, but as they were not ripe be did
not exhibit thetri. His berries of the Tri
umph de Grand are said to be very fine and
large.
On this (the second) table were a few
vegetables, which were distinguished for
their rare and peculiar qualities, and were
too a curiosity by the way. They were ex
hibited us follows:
J. H. Hershey, plates of fluent Extra
Early Peas and Beets, raised by:hitn, and
were decidedly the finest and largest peas
or beets wevhave over before seen at this
season of the year.
J. H. Zercher, heads of Giant White
County Lettuce, Asiatic Gieep Lettuce and
Malta Drum Head Lettuce, which were of
extraordinary size, and fully ea large its
some heads of cabbage.
John Metzler had on exhibition a new
and very curious vegetable, called the Ra
phanu., Candatus, or Serpent Radish, said to
be a delicious vegetable. It is a native of
Java, grows on a tree or s ibush like a bean,
and succeeds admirably in this country.
When served up for the table, In the came
manner as Asparagus, it is represented to
be a very palatable dish.
On this table Mr. J. M. Frantz, displayed
several Jars of canned Fruit, consisting of
choice varieties of the Peach and Black
berry, and also some excellent Domestic
Wines, manufactured from the Grape and
the Currant.
The visitors on Wednesday, were numer
ous during the day and much more so dur
ing the evening, expressed themselves as
highly gratified, and accorded general
praise to the Committee of Arrangements
under whose auspices it was prepared. The
Committee were Messrs. S. S. Rathvou,
Geo. W. Shroyer, Alen Harris, W. H.
Burns and J. M. Frantz.
The Horticultural Eihibition closed nt 10
o'clock in the evening, when the Strawber
ries, Bouquets, etc., were donated to the
ladies, who had charge of the Strawberry
Festival for the benefit of the Athenaeum,
at the southern end of the room. They
received from Mr. Engle 33 plates, from
Mr. Hiller 9 plates, from Mr. Kendig 6
plates, from Messrs. Schroyer and Erb 4
plates each, from Messrs. Frantz and Metz
-1
err 2 plates each and from Mr. Burns 1.
ITEMS FROM THE OXFORD Prt.Ess.—The
right arm of Ebenezer Jackson, of Colerain
township, Lancaster county, was amputa
ted for the removal of a cancer, on May 30th
by Dr. J. P. Andrews, assisted by Drs.
George Dare, D. D. Kennedy, E. Rogers
and S. M. Morrison. Mr. Jackson has since
been in a very favorable condition.
Oh Saturday last, John McGinley, Esq.,
and Capt. G. W. Werntz, of the Oxford
Hotel. fished in several streams In West
Nottingham township, and caught fourteen
fine trout, ten of which averaged eleven
inches in length—one being fourteen Inches
long.
A few days ago a young farmer of Little
Britain township, Lancaster county, went
out to start his hoe harrow, which ho had
left in the field near the road, but imagine
his surprise when he discovered that some
person had been there before him and ex
changed his new set of harrow tooth for a
set of old worn out ones, so short that the
shanks would not go through the frame,
but were stuck In and the burrs carefully
laid on top.
THE CRAPS IN Yong Coutrrr.—The York
True Democrat. says that the grass and
grain crops in that county will be unpro
cedently largo this season. "From every
direction we hear the most gratifying ac
counts, and our farmers expect far more
than the usual reward for the labors of the
year. The lower anti upper ends are both
teeming with the promise of an abundant
harvest, and the people rejoice and 'are
thankful at the prospect. The corn is back•
ward an 4 shorti but is growing finely, and
as it has three full moutha.to come to, ma
turity, the most enoottrageing hopes' ate
entertained of an abundant yield."
