severities to force them, as they say, to tell

pressure upon the chest by the working of
a screw. The sides of this box are gradu

then the victim is placed in a room heated

upon the lungs is so great that the exertion
to breathe amounts to indescribable agony.

Democratic Nominations in Plaindel
pea.
That well known to party paper, the
Ledger thus speaks of the Democrat nomi
nees in Philadelphia:
The pressure of public opinion in favor
of good nominations by the party conven

vention completed its business in one ses
sion. For District Attorney there was but
one ballot, which resulted in the choice of
Furman Sheppard, Esq., who is so well
known as a member of the bar of the high
est ability end as a citizen of unblemished
character, that no further description ie
needed. For Prothonotary of the Com
mon Pleas, the fourth ballot resulted in
in the nomination of Albert W. Fletcher, a
popular and estimable young man lately a
salesman In the house ofAltott,Johnes
The Judicial Convention gpminated
C. Hirst, Esq., and Thothas M. Greenbank,
Esq., for President and Associate Judges of
the District Court, both gentlemen being
well and favorably known to this commu
nity. The City Convention did not got
through with its business. For City Com•
Inksioner it renominated Major David P.
Weaver, a worthy soldier, and ono of the
present Commissioners, who was compli
mented by such a large popular vote three
years ago. For Receiver of Taxes, after
several ballots, the choice fell upon Mr.
John M. Melloy, a Market street man and
manufhcturer of tinware, who, when for
merly a candidate, brought about by his
action the voluntary abandonment of the
live per cent. exaction of the Receiver on
all unpaid taxes. This Convention has still
to nominate candidates for Mayor, City So
licitor and City Controller.

Mot. in Houston, TOXIIIII.
On Sunday night, the Hilt inst., says The
1 lozoion Telegraph, a negro having shot a
men I n 11 dance house, and having been
eotntnitteci to the 8011-Towel` Prison, a gang
of Moen or twenty of his comrades went to
the vain boone and demanded the prisoner
of the jailer, lie replied that they could not
have into, and that they must disperse, or
they should be arrested. They then dis
persed, Ini med lately after the occurence
above related, the colored people began to
potir into the market square from every di
rection, many of thorn armed, and those
who were unarmed ran in every direction
socking arms. Many of the women incited
the men to speech and action. Vengeance
upon the prisoner, Noble, wits the generally
expressed object, and bitter hostility and
throats toward the white people were gen•
orally manifested and uttered. At this time
the city bell begiin to ring to call the citi
zens together, and they also came pouring
in, a great many of them armed and as the
two races mingled together, a bloody colli
sion seemed for a short time unavoidable.
After a time however, the negroes dispersed,
and in a little while the news spread rapid
ly that over five hundred of them were as
sembled at the colored Methodist Church,
and that they openly proposed to march
down Main St., seize all the arms they could
arm the black population generally, attack
the whites, and that the unarmed onesamong
them would assist by firing the city. This
turned out to haVe been very nearly correct.
But better counsels at length prevailed.
While all this had been going on, the citi
zens had been organizing and arming both
in independent companies and a special po
lice force. This work continued the whole
day, and until after dark. The wholecity
was full of armed men and men arming.
Thus were the evening and night passed,
until the next morning dawned on the city.
The patrol wentlbrough every part of the
city during the whole night, and strange to
say, hardly any colored men could be found
The women and children were all alone.
The men had evacuated the city entirely.
The most of them however returned in the
morning.

vative soldiers of Lancaster county: Lieut.
Col. F. S. Pyfer, Lieut. Chas. Lichtenthaler,
Lidut.J.S. Roath, Lieut. E. S. Metzger and
F. S. Kilburn. The Committee reported
the following series of resolutions, which
were received with applause, and unani
mously adopted:
==!
Resolved, That the persistent efforts of
the Radicals in Congress to prevent a res
toration of the Union, and to establish
hegro domination and military despotism
upon the ruins of ten states, is a direct in
sult lo the great army of volunteers who
fought for the Union and the Constitution
of our Fathers.
Resolved, That the object for, which the
war was carried on by the Union Soldiers,
was to preserve the Union of the States, to
protect and defend a free Government, a
wise system of laws and the guarantees of
Civil and Religious liberty under the Con
stitution of the United States.
Resolved, That the Goverdrnent of our
Fathers is a white man's Government, made
by white men for white men, and, there
fore we are opposed to Congress forcing
negro suffrage and negro equality upon any
of the States North or South.
Resolved, That the recent war has de
monstrated that the volunteer soldiery is
amply sufficient for any emergency, and
we, therefore, deprecate the idea that a
large standing army is necessary in times
oh peace.
Resolved, That the only security for our
liberties rests in legislation strictly within
the provisions of the Constitution, and we
hold as enemies to our free ins4tutions all
those who legislate, or attempt to legislate,
"outside of it."
Rewired, That our Delegates to the Sol
diers' and Sailors' National Convention, to
be held in the City of New York on the 4th
of July next, be instructed to use their in
fluence to secure the nomination for Presi
dent of the United States, of an honest,
comprehensive, unselfish and pure-minded
Soldier or Statesman, one in whom
'here is truth and strength, to be placed on
a platform so unequivocal that every voter
may explicitly know the principles which
he is upholding.
Resolved, That any Delegate who cannot
attend the Convention may aubstitutesome
honorably discharged soldier m his place.
The above resolutions give a clear idea
of the opinkins which we have no doubt
are entertained by a decided majority of
the honorably discharged soldiers of the
country. In the pending Presidential cam
paign, they will be found laboring for a
complete restoration of the Union and a re
turn to peace and prosperity, under the ad
ministration of a Conservative and Consti
tutional Democrat, with the same ardent
patriotism which they exhibited on the
field of battle. The Radicals evidently
counted without their hosts when they con
cluded that the soldiers would follow the
lead• of Grant, after he consented to become
the dumb tool of the most corrupt and un
principled set of political adventurers In
tho country.
ACCIDENT.—Two painters, named Amos
Kauffman and James Black, in the employ
of Major Wm. Poole, who were engaged In
painting the outside of the house owned by
Jacob Sener, situated ou the corner of West
Orange nod North Water streets opposite
Trout's Hotel, met with a painful accident
last week. They had placed stages out
of the windows of the second story, and as
is usual with painter's, they had a ladder
resting upon them and a board upon the
ladder upon which they stood to paint. It
appears that the two men having approach
ed too nearly the center of the ladder, both
it and the board broke under their united
weight and precipitated them to the pave
ment. Kauffman was injured some but is
able to walk about; black having been
struck on the cheek and side of the head by
a part of the broken ladder was more seri
ously injured,"and ,had to be conveyed to
his home in the Sixth Ward in an omnibus.
The injured man was attended by Dr. Muh
lenburg, who pronounced him not to be
dangerously hurt. The distance the men
fell was about fifteen feet.
HAD AN Ant BnckEtc-Henry S. Landis,
son of S. Landis, of Swatara Station, Dau
phin county Pa., a student at the mlllerevill
State Normal School, had his loft arm bro
ken,Wednesday afternoon, while indulging
in sport with several of his fellow students
and boarders, at the residence of Adam
Bair, where they board. This young man
had the same arm fractured several months
ago, at his home, by being thrown from a
horse. The injured limb was dressed by
Dr. S. T. Days, and the patient is doing
well.—Express.

HELD To AwswEa.--Conrad SOubers,
who was arrested on Sunday last by Offi
cers Flory and Shroad and was charged
with having stolen certain klpp-skins from
Bltner Bro's warehouse, this city, the
particulars of which larceny were publish

hearing this morning, before Alderman
Wiley, and was held in the sum of 000 to
appear at the next Court of Quarter Ses

LANCASTER COUNTY IRON.—A portion of
the Philadelphia, Wilmington,
and Balti
more railroad is now being relaid with steel
rails, made in this county, from metal made
by mixing the ores of that locality with
magnetic iron ore from New York. The
metal thus made is said to wear very slowly,
is not liable to mash, and is of greatstrength.
IRON IN THE BLOOD.—When the blood is
well supplied with its iron element, we feel
vigorous and full of animation. It is an
insufficiency of this vital element that
makes us feel weak and low spirited; all
such, by taking the Peruvian Syrup, (a
protoxide of Iron) can supply this defic
iency, and will be wonderfully invigorated.

Editors of Intelligence? :—Considerable
controversy has arisen of late, as to the
right of Mr. Chen. Shenk "claims" on
certain Itinds,Which he 'Baser& that he holds
jointly with the aborigines'of -this State
and which claims he has enused to be re

This of course has placed many of as who
hold lands on which these claims are made
in a very embarrassing position, as we can
not until this question is settled dispose of
our property—yurchasers contending that
we cannot give a clear title thereto.
I have consulted with counsel in the
matter, and they differ in their opinions
with regard to the validity of these claims.
Some persons have already made settle
ments with Mr. Shenk, and I bear he has
realized some thousand dollars ; but myself
being among the skeptical, with regard to
these claims, and _wishing to be perfectly
satisfied as to the justice thereof—before
compromising for them, I have taken the

ATIGITMENT POSTPoISIED 'UNTIL THIIRS
DAY.—The matter of the Mandamus issued
to command the Mayor to swear in Wm.
Kirkpatrick, as Superintendent of the City
Water Works, same up on Monday last, be
fore the Court for argument, Judges Long,
Hayes and Llbhart present; and a return
was made to it by Geo. N.uman, counsel
for the Mayor; Johnson for Kirkpatrick.
The matter of the Mandamus against the
Select Council to require them to meet the
Common Council and elect a City Treasurer,
also came up. Kline, Franklinand Dickey
for the Mandamus; Brown, S. H. Reynolds
and Nauman for Select Council. A return
was made to the Mandamus by the attor
nies for Select Council.
An answer was filed by Nauman, Attor
ney for the Mayor, to the Bill for an in
junction against the Mayor, to prevent him
from drawing any warrants ior the city
funds. Dickey for injunction.
The Attorney for the Mayor expressed
his readiness to proceed with the argument
but the counsel for tLe parties soliciting the
mandamus were not prepared to proceed
forthwith, so the whole affair was continued
until Thursday morning next at 9 o'clock,
when it is expected the matter will be fully
argued before the Court. The Mayor ex
pressed an earnest desire that the matter be
settled by the Court, as soon as possible, so
that he might be informed how to legally
act in the discharge of his official duties, as
he did not wish to act contrary to what was
lawful and right, provided the Court de
cided that he had no authority. The
Mayor contended, however, that, under the
Charter, he has the power to draw warrants
on the Treasury, and that, in so doing, he
has not acted contrary to law.

DEATHS FROM LoctcjAw.—Sam'l Rabrer
a young man, citizen of Adamstown, died
from lockjaw, Friday morning. He had
the forepart of the middle finger of his
right hand smashed some ten days ago,
whilst placing a stone under the wheel of a
wagon heavily loaded with stone. The
wagon, which was being drawn up a hill,
was stopped.to rest the 11,,rses, when the ac
cident occurred. The young man suffered
intense pain until death relieved him from
his sufferings. He leaves a widow and two
children to mourn his death.
The death of Christian Hoffer, of Robrers
town, whose funeral took place on Monday,
22d instant, was also caused by lockjaw.
The deceased, several weeks ago, tramped

Firemen, and with them are visiting differ
ent places of interest in and about our city
to-day.
JOHN WISE'S GREAT AIR SHlP.—Chas.
E. Wise of this city left for Bethlehem this
morning, where he goes to assist his father,
John Wise, the great JEreonant, in the trial
of a new Air Ship which he has completed
at that place.
This new air ship is a lozenge shape frame,
covered with canvass, fifty feet in length
and twenty-six feet in diameter in the mid
dle, tapering gradually towards the ends.
Under the ship is attached a cabin or car
six feet deep, ten feet long and eight feet in
width, which contains the propelling ma
chinery. The motive power consists of two
Erriscon propellers made ofotrong wood,
four feet in diameter, and these era worked
in the present machine by hand Power,
making one hundred and sixty revolutions
per minute. The whole is steered by means
of a long rudder, shaped like a broad bladed
boat oar, which extends out in the rear from
the car. It is to carry, besides the weight
of machinery, three or four persons, who
will I.nd seats in the car. The machine was
built for a combination of gentlemen in
Bethlehem, and It is expected that a rate of
speed from three to five miles an hour will
be obtained against an orqinary current of
air. If fully successful a capital of $lOO,OOO
will be at once raised, and an air ship con
structed of copper prepared according to a
method already devised, which will be pro
pelled by steam. The present machine cost
some $2,000. This attempt at axial naviga
tion will be looked to with no little Inter
est. It is likely all will be ready for a fair
trial by the 4th of July.
ABOUT LOCUSTS.—Now that the locusts
are so numerous, in our city, the following
from an exchange may be found worth
reading by those who are interested in that
Insect: A couple of small branches from
two apple trees were carefully examined;
the branches were some ten or twelve
inches In length and of tender thickness,
and each were punched, at intervals of
about one inch, by the locust sting. Upon
being broken at these places, deposits of
brew or the egg of the locust, were found
in large numbers—more than five hundred,
having been contained in these smallpaces.
The egg resemble, when viewed by the
naked eye, a small white triangular speck,
hardly distinguishable; but oy the aid of
the common microscope they looked like a
very large and plump grain of rice, and al
most transparent in their whiteness. After
a short time the glass showed them to have
lost their plumpness, and to be,perfectly
flat—Just as a depleted bed bug would ap
pear, after long hungering and thirsting
after blood, or liken flattened ground worm
upon a sidewalk, after having been trod
upon by divers heels. The branches are
said to die wherever these perforations and
deposits are made, and the extent of the
ravages in this line is considerable.
This matter, however, of being stung by
footle's is somewhat questionable. It Is
probable that it is the deposit of the egg by
the female, lighting upon a person at the
moment, That causes the result called a
"sting." Dr. Gideon B. Smith shows that
the insect really has no sting, but an in
strument by which it makes an incision or
scratch upon tender twigs in which to de
posit its eggs, and is' otherwise harmless.
It may be that the female aQmotimes uses
this instrument upon the lash of persons
with which it comes in contact When about
to void its eggs, and thus produces an in
flammation and soreness for which reme
dies are necessary. It is well enough,
therefore, for persons to guard against such
occurrences.
A DAY'S WORK.—Our readers will recol
lect that during the recent session of the
Legislature of this State what is known as
the Eight Hour Law was passed, anti was
subsequently approved by Governor Geary.
The act limits the hours of labor constitu
ting a day's work in Pennsylvania to eight
hours, and goes into effect on to-day,
(Wednesday,) July Ist. It will be seen by
the provisions of its law which we publish,
that eight hours, between Sunrise and sun
set, will hereafter constitute a day's work,
unless the contrary be agreed upon by the
employer and employee, The following are
the provisions of-the act :
SEC. 1. Be it enacted, cf re. That on and af
ter the first of July, eighteen hundred and
sixty-eight, eight hours of labor between
the rising and setting of the sun, shall be
deemed and held to be a legal day's work,
in all cases of labor and service by the day,
where there is no contract or agreement to
the contrary.
SEC. 2. This net shall not apply to or in
any way effect farm or agriculture labor or
service by the year, month , or week ; nor
shall any person be prevented, by anything
herein contained, from working as many
hours over-time or extra work as he or she
may see fit, the compensation to be agreed
upon between the employer and the em
ployee.
Sec. 3. All other acts or parts of acts re
lating to the hours of labor which shall
constitute a day's work in this State, are
hereby repealed.
THE STATE FAIR.—The Harrisburg State
Guard says that the committee of arrange
ments of the State Agricultural Society,
consisting of Messrs. Haldeman, of Lancas
ter county; M' Crea, of Philadelphia;
Kapp, of Northumberland; Longaker, of
Montgomery; and Hamilton, of Dauphin,
met on the 27th inst., In that city. Before
visiting the ground chosen for the Septem
ber exhibition, an enlarged and liberal pro•
mium list was adopted ; certain regulations
partially decided upon and current busi
ness transacted A visit to the ground was
then made, the location of various build
ings to bo erected during the summer de
cided upon, and measures taken to insure
easy access to the beautiful spot now In
course of being enclosed. The labor Is
progressing Ylgormisly, and the enclosure
will be completed in a short time. Col.
Unger, who has charge of the grounds, is
erecting a building of considerable extent
near the enclosure, and both man and
beast will find ample accommodation In
September.
COMMITTED FOR A HEARrNO.—T4O par
ties who have been arrested on suspicion of
having committed the robbery, at Mr. A.
B. Kauffman's near Landisville this county,
on Monday night last, were brought before
his Honor the Mayor this afternoon for a
hearing, when nt t he instance of the Com
monwealth the hearing was deferred until
Wednesday, July Ist, at 91 o'clock A. M.,
an important witness for the prosecution
being absent. James Frey and Henry
Powder being unable to obtain bail, were
committed to the county prison for safe
keeping. Issachar Reese, of this city, was
bound in his own recognizance for 8500 to
appear at the hearing. The fourth party
concerned In the robbery has not us yet
been arrested.
BIIROLARY.—The home of Mr. F. C. Curie,
in East Chestnut street, wee broken into on
Sunday morning about 2 o'clock, and a val•
uable silver pitcher stolen therefrom. The
pitcher was found on Sunday morning
about 5 o'clock by a young man named
Flenniken, in Love Lane, back of the Ger
man Catholic Church, in a very battered
condition, where 4. had evidently been
thrown by the thief through fear that ,the
name and inscription upon it might PM
mately lead to his detection in case the pur,
loined property be found in his possession,
or if hp should try to dispose of it to a pur
chase nof old silver. The pitcher worth
about $5O, and was highly prized b)Mr.
Curie, as it was presented to him as a testi
monial of respect and esteem by the work
men of the Locomotive Works, where Mr.
C. was at one time employed as Foreman.
We understand that no other valuables
were taken; the bprglar or burglars effect
ed their entrance by forcing open a back
window of the house. As yet no arrest pas
been made of the guilty parties.
SUED 'FOR LIBEL.—Mr. Herman Blumen
thal of Philadelphia, has sued the editors
of the Columbia Herald for libel. The
snit was brought before Alderman Wiley,

THE CROPS IN LANCASTER COUNTY.-A.
correspondent of the Philadelphia Press
writes as follows:
The wheat crops of this county this sea
son will be unusually productive of straw,
and on account of its growing rank in the
spring, and the many storms since, it Is
very much knocked about, so that farmers
will experience great trouble in gathering
it. The cold and wet of the season, while
they gave it great growth, have also kept it
unueually green, so that the old farm boast
of having all the wheat in shock by the 4th
of July will not be realized this year. Some
farmers entertain great fears lest this fact
should make the crop liable to the rust. It
is the rule that late wheat becomes affected
with this blight. As a consequence, only
the earlier kinds of wheat are sown. The
old•fashioned mountain, and blue stem,
and all the smooth wheats have given place
to the Mediterranean or beardedivarieties.
Wheat during this season bad a very un
propitious time for blossoming, the rainy
season being then in lull tide. Some anxi
ety exists among farmers on this account;
for severe rains during this season knock
off the blossoms, destroy the pollen, and as
a matter of course prevent the formation of
a complete grain. Under such circum
stances the crop is usually light in weight,
and the quality inferior, but it is safe to
predict, with all the drawbacks, an average
crop of this cereal.
Timothy and clover promise well; tim
othy will be late, and although the season
for clover cutting is at hand, it is yet too
green for mowing. The bloom is yet quite
fresh, and but few farmers have levelled
these fragrant nosegays of harvest. The lot
of July will be upon them belore hay
making has set in earnest. There is no
hurry, nowever, for the wheat crop is not
so forward as to spur to action, and on ac
count of the presence of timothy on most
farms, a portion of the haying season can
readily be postponed until after the wheat
is gathered. Present appearances indicate
that the crop of hay will be large.
The corn crop bas labored under many
disadvantages. Farmers had great diffi
culty in getting it planted, and the planting
season extended over a period of several
weeks; this even ou the same farm and in
the same field. It is, therefore, very Irreg
ular in size. Howeverin color it is healthy,
and, if the theory be true, that, no matter
whether It grow at the top or not it is con
stantly maki❑g rout, there may be some
ground for predicting a fair yield. The re
cent warm weather has had a magical in
fluence upon It, and It has freshened and
grown rapidly. With a propitious season
there need be no fears of a scarcity of this
essential cereal.
The oat crop is backward, but is thickly
set and thriving. The Indications are that,
with a good ripening season, a more than
average yield will be produced. This is es
pecially true or the southern end of Lancas
ter county, where the lighter cast of soil did
not allow the rains to interfere so much
with its startling growth.
The fruit crop may be set down as a fail
ure. Of apples there are scarcely any, while
pears and peaches promise but a poor
yield. The gardens generally look well.
Vegetables seem to have defied the inclement
season, and all the smaller kinds grow In
abundance. The potato tops are of vigor
ous growth. There is, however, as yet, not
sufficient maturity of the tubers to indicate
the character of the crop. Some have fears
of a return of the rot which well nigh ex
terminated this crop last year. The general

MISHLEB'S HERB BITTERS.
DO NOT ENDURE A LIVING DEATH 1
STRENGTH vs. WEAKNESS.:
READ! READ ! ! READ ! !
Objections are sometimes raised against der-
Lain medicines on the ground that it is claim
ed they will cure so many different diseases.
A moment's reflection will expose the shallow.
ness of such an argument, for there is scarcely
a medicinal drug of any kind that is not used
for more than one disease. The reason why
MISHLER'S HERB BITTERS
cures so many diseases is found In the fact that
it invigorates the entire human system,
strengthens all the nervous fibres, elevates the
standard Of all the vital forces, and sustains a
healthy tone of man's organism. Medicine
that will do this will cure any disease for the
simple reason that nature will do the rest.
Now, the vital principle of life is always and
everywhere in danger, and it suffers continu
ally from the successful attacks of diseases.
Hence, it has become a cluest ion of very grave
importance as to what is the true course to be
pursued in fortifying this vital principle
against disease. Enlightened Judgement as
the result of long experience, and aided by the
light of practical science teaches us that the old
methods of the medical faculty are not only
valueless, but really dangerous, because they
war against the little remaining strength of
the invalid and too frequently hurry him into
a premature grave. It has been proved a
thousand times over that depletion is invaria
bly attended with ballsesults—sometime fatal,
but always more or less perilous. It stands to
reason that this is so, when we consider how
disease meets with less opposition on its cor
roding march in a systern reduced by bleeding,
purging, etc. Untold numbers of persons af
flicted with intermittent, remittent and other
malarious fevers have submitted to this bane
ful process, and paid a fearful penalty for doing
so. But where the opposite course has been
adopted, and a generous Tonic like
DIISHLER'S HERB BITTERS
baa been introduced into the system the end
has alwaysJustifled oar position In the saving
of the patients life.
This Bitters will prepare the system for the
transformation about to bo made in it, and
when health and strength are once restored It
will completely fortify It against the attack's
of disease from all quarters. Any Arson who
will use
MISHLER'S HERB BITTERS
according to the directions we give will be able
to resist the causes of disease without tronble

GREAT HOUSEHOLD REMEDY they would
build up their physique in a vary short period,
and render their constitution invulnerable.
During the "heated term" the air is always
more or less impregnated with infectious dls•
eases. To guard against the dangers in the very
air we breath we require a Tonic of Herbal
constithents with a pure stimulous to carry
their effects through the system. By this
means every organ in the body is predisposed,
and all are naturally assimilated in such a
manner to form a powerful' boats for preven
tive or remedial operations an the case may re
quire. Such a Tonic is
MISHLER'S HERB BITTERS,
and In making this assertion we find ample In•
dorsement In the opinions of a great array of
medical talent such an the proprietors of other
Bitters have never been able to produce. For
upwards of five years
MISHLER'S HERB BITTERS
has been before the public and successfully en
dorm' a very trying ordeal. It boa been tested
Wines without number, and never failed to
give the highest satisfaction. Its fruits are
seen in restoration to perfect health of thous•
ands who would have perished had It not been
providentially pieced within their reach, and
the rapidly increasing demand for it proves
that it is regarded as the moat invaluable
medicine of its kind over discovered. Indeed,
everybody has become familiar with it, anda■
a family medicine It has found a weleome place
In the homes of every city, town and vitiate

the entire system and energize the whole man.
It is now established beyond doubt or cavil
that there is not an organ of the human body
it will not affect, nor a disease it will not cure.
As a tomachic it has no equal in the world.

It Is a fatal mistake with thousands, that
only the prescribed medicinal of physicians
can cure tnem, and they do not consider the
nature, purpose or operation of those drugs In
their compounded condition, but swallow
them simply on faith, and rarely, if over, de
rive any positive benefit. Now, we say that it
is sound judgement to use a remedy which it
can be shown has effected actual and enduring
cures, and such is MISHLERII HERB BIT
TEM.
