• WAsutso•rov, Dec. L—Chlef Justice
Chase, during the present term of the United
States Circuit Court at Richmond, has de
livered an important opinion in a case of
the confiscation of Real Estate under the
act of July ith 1802. The case of Semple
vs. the United States was brought up
Trout the District Court on a writ
of error. Judgmenj was' originally en.
tired by default. The points made were
that the confiscation acts was unconstitu
tional, and that the suit below was iu ad
miralty when it should have been a com
mon law, The Chief Justice overruled both
points end affirmed the decision of the
Court below. Ile said the several cases
arising under this act and that of ME of a
like tenor have been considered by the Su
premo Court, and as the point was not
erased it seas a fair conclusion that neither
at the bar nor inithe bench was the constitu
tionality of the act doubted. Unless clearly
staled that the tart was unconstitutional,
and also that the paint passed without ob
struction m the Supreme Court, he was here
bound by the action of that court, and
should hold' for the present that the
act is warranted by the Constitution.—
lie should, however, he gratified it the
question was again submitted to the Su
preme Court arid adjudged upon direct
arguousit and considerol. With regard to
the second paint , he feel's that it v. as the
constant practice to render judgment of for
feiture in such eases liy delimit, without the
intervention of the jtay.
The Attorney , General has eagaged Rich

I:overidnent in the argument before Judge
Chase it) Itichtimini on Thursday, of the

The anthiatiite coal trade fir seat week
atiminue, large tar the season, stimulated
tin doubt by .he high price, though there
has been a tit clMe iu this market in the hart
three or lour das s of ti fry cents per ton In the
price of Lehigh coal, and a corresponding
decline in the prices of Schuylkill coal.
Lehigh stove coal is now retailed from the
yards ut $9.5U per ton i it noun Pis , and ti 10.50
per ton of 2240 lbs. These are high figures.
The Reading Railroad brought down for the
week 102354 tons,anti hd the h1'a5tM3,523,1)99
against 3,415,747 tons in the same lust year.
The Schuylkill Navigation shipped for the
week 93.290 tons, and for the season 040,015
tons, against 985,585 tons to the came time
last year. The increased ton nape over the
road is 107,352 tOPS,arni the decrease of ship
ments by canal is 4(4:120 tons—giving a net
increase from the nine., for the year 0fti1,032
tons. The entire coal tonnage from all the
coal regions in the State, during the week.
was 386,191 tons, and for the year 12,951,136
tons, again5t11,917,443 tons to the same date
lu 1807—an increase of 1,056,591 tons. There
has been a' larger decline in the wholesale
prices of coal than in the retail prices, the
retailers relying on the shortening of the
supply of cunt by the closing of the canals
inn few days, as a means of keeping up the
prices of coal for domestic use. This, how
ever, is hardly probable. The idea of pay
ing in time of peace and general prosperity
nine to ten and it half dollars for a full ton
of coal in this market, al must the centre of
the coal trade, is unendurable, and, if at
tempted to be maintained, must needs lie
attended with much suffering for want of
fuel among the poor. Coal can be afforded
here far lees, and the large profits will
naturally stimulate large supplies over the
railroads connecting with the coal regions.

years, who died from the effects of poison
on Wednesday morning last, an Investiga
tion was held by Coroner Daniels yester
day. The testimony elicited thefacts that,
upoh several occasions, die lad had been
detected in stealing pennies, from his em
ployer, Mr. Lungren, and when questioned
said that he did so to get sdmething to eat;
that ho did not get enough at home, and
appeared so terrified when Mr. Lungren
threatened' to discharge him, saying Jhat
his father would kill him, that his employer
promised to overlook it and see that his
father did not beat him. The boy appeared
to be relieved and went home, when his
father, becoming enraged at him for some
alleged miscondact,tan an him with a cane,
and the boy got under a bed ; the father
struck himself on the head with the cane,
when the boy said, "don't kill your
self; father; I will kill myself." The
next morning he was discovered to
be very ill, and his employer was
sent for, to whom he confessed having taken
a white powder from a bottle marked with
a death's head and crossbones. 'which be
had in a little box, and thrff he had thrown
the box over the fence. It was also i evi
dence that his stepmother had mai at o
meals a day, when the days were short,
were enough for him, and that he bad upon
previous occasions been beaten with a whip
or cowhide. His death had all the indica
tions of havingbeen caused by strychnine.
The jury rendered a verdict that death was
caused by taking strychnia.

The following CaSE'S were tried cluring last
week's session of Common Pleas Cour:.
Judges Mayen nod LllMart preiding :
John L.. Landis and others vs. David
Greybill, this case was given to thojury on
Wednesday evening. The jury remained
out until Thursday morning, when they
agreed upon a vet diet in favor of defendants.
Merritt Smith vs. The Lancaster County
National Bank, This is n case which excited
considerable interest throughout the county.
The facts in it, as developed on the trial,
are substantially as rid lows In August of
1565 Merritt Smith, living in York county,
just over the river, near Peach Bottom, pur
chased from Bair Clarkson, i . ;his city,
C. S. Bonds outhunting to 51,500. These
bonds were left with Bair tb Clarkson until
.lulu, 1,166, when tho- were lined by Mr.
Smith, win, asked the advitio of S~dnmon
Hint:cher as to what bank I, should I
them in. Mr. tSprecher told them the
banks wore ill reliable. In company with
hl,l, soutin-law, James ('lark, Mr. Smith
went to the Lancaster County Bank in Oc
tober ISlili, and requested Mr. Benjamin
Champneys, the teller of that institution, to
take charge of his bonds. Mr. Champneys
objected, saying it was li9t the custom of
the bank to receive such special deposits
from any exceßt the regal: r customers on be
institution ; but, an r. :ilea:Cs referring
t t At r. Solomon tiprecher, JI r. Champneys
t wk the booths, us he eliegell on the wit
ness stolid, giving the owner notice that
the 'tank would net hold itself responsible
if they should by stolen. Mr. moth hail a
list 01 t he bonds and their numbers, and as
Mr. Champneys called them over, bettire
depositing them in, the vault, Mr. Clark,
Smith's son-in•lasy took the numbers Arc.,
down on a slip of 'Paper. Mr. Smith went
to the West and rtiinainod there some tline.
During his stay it was ;Mews! by defence
on the trial, that he wrote to smile one in
Chester county, requesting hint Logo to the
Bank and See if his bonds wOro then all
right, anti that the person thus written to
called, :tad was informed that they we,
there.
After his return from the Wc...t, Mr.
Smith called at the Lancaster County Bank
on January 1867, and requested the de
livery of his bonds. Mr. Chum pneys made
search for them, but, not finding then),
announcEsl the fact to Mr. Smith, on hearing
which \t r. S. seemed to be quite over
mine and came near fainting. The bank
failing to produce the bonds, Mr. Smith
brought snit or the recovery of their value.
The case was arbitrated, but the Murk
made no defence before the arbitrators,
preferring to let preliminary judgment go
by default, and to make a full defence
trial. When the trial came on the case was
vigorously contested on both sides, occupy
ing the attention of the Court front Friday
morning until 11 o'clock on Saturday night,
when it was given to the Jury. The chin!
witness Mr the defence was Mr. Benjamin
Cinunimeys, an experienced bank officer,
and a gentleman of maple-Monett integrity.
Mr. Chanipneys swore insist nosiCrely that
enure time between October, hilt , and the
Sid of January, 1867, a m a n representing
himself to be :Merritt Smith, front Peach
Bottom, called at the hank and demanded
a pacicage of bonds which he alleged he had
deposited. Mr. Chaumneys testified that
he produced the envelope marked Issrritt
Smith, Peach Bottoin, which he found in
the vault, rind requesting the applicant to
give him the denominations and numbers
of the lanais, this was dons', as :Mr. Champ
nays alleges] on the stand, with perfect ac
curacy., audits the precise order which they
were 14,11.110: to beets py in the envelope.—
Thereupon, without any further proof of
identity, Mr. Champueys testified that he
delivered up the package of bonds.
The whole ease rested upon the question
whether Mr. Chtimpneys had been guilty of
negligence in the delivery of the bonds, as
! he testified 110 had l/0110. The jury seemed
to think he had, for idler deliberating on
the case until .1 o'clock on Sunday afternoon
they returned it verdict against the bank,
and in favor of the plaintittiort , T,lS4 fie, be
ing prifrcipal and interest.
The cure was ably contested by the
lawyers on each side, Messrs. Dickey and
Shenk appearing for the plaintiff, and
Messrs. Thos. E. rranklin, S. 11. Reynolds
and Brenneman for the defendant.
A singular circumstance connected with
these bonds is the fact, ascertained by impli
cation to the Departtuent at Washington,
that no interest has been paid upon them
since they were sold to Mr. ;Smith. This
renders It certain that they are either' still
in the bank or that the party who übLakined
them has never parted with them or de
manded the interest due 011 them. Altogeth

Sk,mxd I'Altl:.—\VO cue glad
to announce that our enterprising towns
man, Br. John Best, has completed his
Skating Pork located near his " Boiler
Works," corner of Plum and Fulton streets,
this city, Tue New Park is 111.1 feet long
and tel in width; and is covered with
shout six inches of water, and only needs
weather sufficiently cold to become covered
with a smooth and heautibul sheet of ice
admirably adapted for the use of those, who
delight in the innocent and healthful pas
time of skating•
Mr. Best has erected at the Park a large,
convenient, and comfortable building for
the use of his patrons; the building will be
supplied with stoves, etc., and will also have
kept iu it a first-class restaurant by our
friend John C. Adams, who is well fitted to
take charge of this feature of the Park, his
long experience as a restaurateur having
wall fitted him to successfully cater to the
most fastidious epicure among the skatists.
The building also has a department which
will bo devoted to the exclusive use of the
ladies. Mr. Best informs us that he will not
permit any intoxicating, liquors to be sold
on the premises, but intends having the best
order maintained upon thorn at all titnes.
This Park will afford our eitizens an oppor
tunity to skate Nitilhout incurring the risk
of drowning which always attends those
who skate over large and deep bodies - of
water like that of the Conestoga creek.
IMPORTANT ARREST—An e/i/effendcr iS'e
carcit.—A man named Nathaniel Dorwart,
formerly a resident of this city,was arrested
at Peach Bottom, Drumure township, this
county, on Wednesday. The arrest uf Dor
wart was made by a detective who was em
ployed to effect the arrest of the party who
broke into the safe of Mr. Andrew Kreuter,
at Annville, Lebanon roomy, on the night
of the :23i1 of April last, and who succeeded
I in abstracting fisint said safe Bonds to the
I amount of Fflti,2oo of which amount
was in United States bonds of 18132 and 1867;
the balance slouo being a Union Pacific
Railroad Bond. Dorwart, under a number
of ofia3C., or assumed names ' has for some
time succeeded in eluding the vigilance of
I the detectives wbo were on the search for
I him, but it appears that be has finally been
captured and wilt now be brought to justice
I and pay the penalty incurred by his vari
ous burglaries. Dorwart is accused of hay
( mg committed the robbery at Wentz'sstore,
this city, some two years ago, an account
of which was published in the papers at the
j time of its commission ; he is. also, charged
with several robberies in Berks county and
other places, the facts of 'Millet] it is thought
best to withhold from publication at pre
sent. Wo are informed that Dorwart has
; been taken to Lebanon county where be
will be tried for the burglary committed in
its limits, and that measures have also been
• taken to eventually secure his trial for the
offences committed by bite in this county. It
is stated that Dorwart's wife bas for the
past two years been residing in Philadel
phia, end that a part of the goods stolen
from Messrs. Wentz.'x store have been founit
in her possession.
A man implicated with Nathaniel
Dorwart and a man named Miller in
committing various robberies, has since the
incarceration of Dorwart, Miller . , and him
self in the Lebanon county Jail turned
State's eividenee,and has confessed that with
Miller and Dorwart he committed the
burglary tit Annville and at several other
places along the lige of the Lebanon Valley
Railroad. This confession f., au important
one and fully explains the mystery
surrounding the burglaries which have re
cently been committed in Lebanon and
neighboring counties.
FIP.E.—The alarm of tire on Saturday
morning, at 1 o'clock, was occasioned by the
burning of a small two-story name shoe
maker's shop, located in Manor street, this
city. The shop belonged to Mr. Jacob
Burke, and was, together with its contents,
entirely destroyed. The firemen were
promptly on hand, lint owing. to the in
flammable material of which the building
was constructed, it was all in a M az e be
fore water was turned upon it. 'the Hu
mane Company had possession of the near
est plug, but some defect in the plugcaused
considerable delay in obtaining a stream.
It is stated that the value of the shoes and
boots, leather, ,be., stored in the building,
was about $OOO, which will prove quito
loss to Mr. Burke, as we understand that
there was no insurance. Some suppose
that a burglary was perpetrated, and Mat
the budding was subsequently fired to pre
vent the persons committing the theft from
being detected, as the lire would remove
all traces of their guilt. An old gun barrel
was found near where the tire occurred,
which was bent considerably, and which it
is asserted the burglars employed in forcing
open one of the windows of the shop, the
shutters of which were noticed to have
been partly open when the fire first broke
out. At all events the prevailing opinion
I is, that the fire was caused by an incen
diary.
Pao onEssivE.--The Reading Times states
that a Company is about to be organized
in the • borough of Columbia, Lancaster
county, with appropriate capital for the
erection of manufacturies upon an exten
sive scale. What is the nature thereof the
public is not fully advised. But, in con
nection with the valdable water power
with which that town is favored, it is not
difficult to perceive that capital rightly di
rected may be very profitably employed.
Cannon DEpmaYmx.—The Harrisburg
State Nunn/ says that the new church just
erected by the Church of God, at Progress,
in the suburbs of that city, will be dedica
ted nt ten o'clock on Sunday next. Rev.
C. N. „Verney, of. Lancaster, will deliver
the sermon on the occasion, and the cere
monies will possess considerable interest.
A cordial invitation is extended to the
public. A,n introductory sermon will be
preached on Saturday evening previous by
Rev. J. C. Owens, of Harrisburg.
Accumtvr.--On last Saturday, John Bren
ner, or Safe Harbor, had his little finger
on the left hand cut off by a circular saw ;
he was in the employ of Emanuel Bren
ner, his brother.
A sI is K 11.1.EIL—J01111 Hildebrand,
Deputy Coroner, held an inquest over the
body of Ifeulien Gregg of Paradise twp.,
and a verdict was rendered that Gregg's
death was caused by a fracture of the skull
tnaile by the deceased being struck by a
stone thrown by Henry Hess on Saturday,
the LiSth inst. "-less gave himself up to the
authorities and was brought to the city, this
morning, by Mr. Downey the constable of
Paradise township.
—Since the above was in type we learn
that 11 ces and Gregg, the latter being a
colored man, had a quarrel respecting a
gun ; and during this quarrel Gregg threat
en,' to. hoot bless, when the latter took the
gun from Gregg and struck burn over the
back with it breaking the stock off the gun.
It appears that subsequently Hess threw a
stone at Gregg striking him on the temple
and inflicting such a wound as to cause
death. It is stated that Hess was released
on bail after a hearing before a magistrate
in the neighborhood where the affair oc
curred, and that ho was not brought to
this city.
Tat eV ES A MUT. —According to the Cecil
Whig. there appears to he an organized
band of thieves, who travel through the
southern part of Lancaster comity. It will
• be remembered that Mr. Cummings lost,
I not long since, a buggy and harness worth
$2.00, and W. Thompson, of Pleasant Grove,
a horse worth *3OO, on the same night. A
few nights ago Mr. J. Kreider, of Puiton
twp., on coming home noticed a light
in his barn; Mr. K. proceeded to recd-u
noitre, when n man decamped, leaving a
, dark lantern. lle had selected a set of car
riage harness, a buggy, whip, and buffalo
I robe, which he left—for the time being.
It appears, also, that on Sunday, the Mud,
. a stranger made his appearance in that
neighborhood, apparently in search of in
formation, and excited the suspicion of some
folks by asking questions, asserting that he
was acquainted with a number of people,
none of whom knew him. He was arrested
land taken before Esquire Hannah, but re
f eased for want of evidence.
LA Et/ E EAGLE S EIOT.—The Express
states that a few days ago Geo. W. Thatcher,
while hunting rabbits in East Donegal
township, tired at a large bird, at a very
long range. Unfortunately the shot was
effective, and a noble bird, fast becoming
rare in our country, was destroyed. It
proved to lie a very large female Plaid Eagle
(Hali:etas leucocephalus,) measuring three
feet in length and seven feet across the
wings. Mr. Thatcher brought this fine
specimen to the city and placed it in the
hands of Mr, 'Tense), to have prepared and
mounted.

An exchange very appropriately says
that " the practice of stopping your horse
and wagon on a street crdas-walk, and re
maining there till you get done talking to
somebody, or till you get ready to drive
along, Is a common practice, but a very
bad one." We frequently notice that the
cross walks are blockaded in this manner
in Lancaster; particularly market Morn

THE GAP MINES.—A correspondent of
the Oxford Press [writes to that newspa
per the following description of the Uep
Mines, located in the eastern part of Lan
caster county:
On arriving at the mines, we-first direct
ed our attention to the smelting works.
Here the ore (nickel) is roasted in kilns
preparatory fur the furnaces, where it is
smelted, using quartz and limestone for
its flue. After going through several pro
cesses it is then beat to Camden, New Jer
sey, where it again undergoes some other
processes before it is fitted for the Mint,
;which it supplies,. The noxious gases
and sulphuric acid, etc., arising therefrom
is very prejudicial to the vegetation in this
immediate neighborhood, therefore, to hin
der discordance, Mr. Wharton, the sole
proprietor (an influential Pennsylvania
Quaker), bought all the land that could in
any way be affected thereby ; also the tav
ern, which was held there heretotbre, be
has converted into a store, so that the men
shall not squander away their money use
lessly—a very wise conclusion. The mines
are kept drained of water of eight inch
pumps, worked by a Cornish pumping
steam engine. The mine extends a great
distance, but is only 190 feet deep. Not
withstanding it was worked before and
abandoned awhile on account of the Revo
lutionary war. There are hundreds of tons
of nickle ore broke and at the surface;
meanwhile the vein continues to yield a
great deal monthly, in fact, the present in
dications are such that practical miners
deem it almost inexhaustible. These are
the only nickel producing mines in opera
tion in the United States, and are under
the able management of Captain Doble,
whom we found to be very kind and affa
ble, for which he has our best wishes. We
gathered several mineral specimens, such
as millrite, carbonate and sulphate of iron,
red oxide and blue carbonate of copper,
chrystalized felspar, nickle and copper ore
combined, Cc. It may be proper to remark
that these minerals are imbedded in horn
blende. The following day we proceeded
on our journey home, via, the Green Tree,
where close by we ,visited an iron mine
which has been in operation for a year or
two; the iron is so close to the surface that
it and the debris is carted out, but the wa
ter is taken out by the aid of a rotary steam
engine.
AN ELOQUENT LECTURE.—A correspon
dent of the Harrisburg Patriot stales that
on the evening of Thanksgiving day a most
interesting and eloquent lecture was de
livered in Elizabethtown, this county, by
the Rev. J. J. M'llvane, Catholic pastor of
Middletown. His subject was, " The
Future of our Country." He said he saw
"The hallowed cross which Columbus plant
ed on our shore owitilingled with the Stars
and Stripes, and a nation glorious, power
ful and free, because of its Catholicity."
THOSE who sutler from coughs, colds,
bronchitis, croup, influenza, or whooping
cough, will find sure relief in Dr. Wistar's
Ealsam of, Wild Cherry, 'which has now
been in use for nearly half a century, and
still maintains its long established reputa
tion as the great remedy for all diseases of
the throat, lungs, and chest.—Communt

THE FIRST SABBATH ScHocau—The York
True Democrat •stotes that it may not be
generally known that Lancacter county is
entitled to the credit of having established
the tirst Sabbath School ever known to the
civilized world:
" - Ludwig Hacker, one of the leaders o
the Seventh day Baptists, at Ephrata, in
this county, was the father of this now ma
''cred and widespread Institution. The
school was started by this learned Divine
in 1710, in the old monasteries belonging to
the society of which he was a member, and
continued to be held, uninterruptedly, un
til the year 1177, when the progress of the
Revolution occasioned its suspension for
about five years, when it was again re
sawed. The bottle of Brandywine had
been fought, and at the request of General
Washington, the monasteries were convert
ed Lite a hospital for the reception of the
sick and wounded of our army.
During the time the soldiers were there
! the school was not held ; the state of things
being such as to render it impracticable.
We are proud, however, to recognize it ass
historic tact and thus confute a prevailing
error, that this school, established by Lud
i wig Hacker, was the first known in this
country or Europe. Afterwards, in the
year 1782, Robert Raikes established a Sun
' day school at Gloucester, England, and
since that time they have spread far and
wide, bringing the young and innocent to
the feet of the Saviour and exerting their
auxiliary influence iu evangelizing the
• world. The remains of Ludwig Hacker
' have long since slept antler a weeping wil
low tree, in the quiet grave-yard near the
ruins of the old monaszeries where he spent
his life in the worship of God, and in doing
good among the young and the old of his
fellow men. A plain marble stab, bearing
his name and his age, marks the place of
his sepulture. lie needs no prouder mon

RIOT AT Cit RISTIA NA.—A serious affray
occurred at Christiana, in this county, on
lust Saturday evening. The atlair had its
origin in a difficulty between Clay and
Henry Hathaway on one side and Albeit
and Thomas Brummell on the other. The
Hathaways had the bridle reins of their
horses cut ut Penningtouville, some time
ago, and charged the Brummells with hav
ing done it. Challenges passed between the
partits, and on last Saturday evening the
Huthaways, in company with some other
persons, visited Christiana, where the
Brummells reside, for the purpose of set
tling the matter. The parties met at Wm.
Leechel,s store, in the village, when a fight
ensued between them, which soon became
general, and was kept up fpr a considerable
time, enure thirty persons taking part in it.
A numberof the beligerents received black
eyes, and bear other marks of punishment.

COUNTY I • OktRNSPONpENCE:,We Call the
attention of Mir' reedete tei the following
excellent article from the Berks and Schayl
kig Journa/, and,hope that they will follow
the good advice below given and Bend to
the Int elligencer all matters of public. inter

" We wish we could prevail more effect
ually upon the young men of our county to
engage in the laudable work of sending us
for publication, all matters of public inter
est that occur within their range of obser
vation. No matter how crude the effort
detailing them, we ,will put it into shape
and endeavor to make it presentable to the
general reader. A valued cotemporary, in
a graceful allusion to' the characteristics co
its voluntary local letter writers," truly
says of them, (what will apply with equal
appropriateness to all similarly engaged,)
that they are all go-ahead, enterprising
people, who haye that public spirit which
discerns much or the need of the public. and
who are willing to sacrifice part of their
lime' and - Means for the benefit of their
neighbon. 'When men, they frequently
lead public sentiment in their respective
townships, or, being young, aspire to a
leadership that they will some day surely
win. If ladies, they are of that class who
are watchful of every proper charity, and
active movers in every public enterprise in
which their sex is called upon to take a
pert. It is public spirit in them just as
ranch as in the man, and custom does not
in all cases crush that enthusiasm which
they are fond of manifesting and which it
is their nature to manifest in anything in
which they are interested.
The local department of a newspaper Is
vastly benelitted by these contributions,
and that paper which numbers among its
contributors ciiscritninating and reliable
con espoudents from all parts of the county
to wh ,se interests it is especially allied,
will of necessity become an invaluable re
pository of news, and must meet with gen
eral favor. The winter is coming upon us
with rapid strides. Work in the country
is soon to be succeeded by a long rest, and
what more profitable, what more Improv

or better still, a regular weekly letter—no
matter how short—of news from the rural

HOW 'l.l TELL, DISEAJED MEAT.-11.1 view
of tho floe that sometimes diseased meat
may find its way into our markets we pub
lish from an exchange the following state
ment which may be lichen as a guide to
meat purchasers:
Healthy moat is lino and elastic to the
touch, and hardly moistens the lingers.
Diseased meat is soft and wet, and serum
often runs from it, Good meat has but little
odor, and that by no means disagreeable.
Diseased meat has a taint and eandaverous
smell. This is best observed by cutting it
and smelling the knife, or pouring a little
warm water over it when chopped. It loses,
also, ten per cent more in weight in conk
ing than when healthy. The disvaites en
gendered by bail medt are chiefly diarrhota
and tapeworm. It often creates.earbuneles
and boils. Caro should be taken to have
meat most thoroughly cooked if consumers
wish to avoid all possibility of Hilt Maiellia`.
Wit TII E LEAVES FALL.—A medical
paper stares that a number of persons have
lately been engaged in investigating the
cause of the autumnal stripping of trees,
and their researchca would seem to point to
the conclusion that in many plants a phe
nomenon occurs just before the full of the
leaf which is nit unlike the process which
accompanies thieshediling of horns in ani
mats. It consistH in the obstruction of the
proper vessels at the base of the petiole, or
leaf stock. The obstruction according to an
American writer, isca used by the multlpli•
cation of cells, which first occurs in the pa
ri n etes of the vessels. The cells increase and
multiply till at last the vessels are com
pletely choked up in the neighborhood of
the insertion of the leaf, and thus a ditleren
fiat plane is formed, across which the leaf
stork breaks, and the leaf accordingly falls.

—The Philadelphia Bulletin refers in the
following manner to the efforts which are
being made to stock the Susquehanna river
and its confluent streams with black bass:
This scheme is a very praiseworthy one,
and deserves the hearty support of all.
Ever since the discovery of this country,
the inhabitants have engaged in the work
of destroying its game, and have neglected
to protect it in tiny nuanner, or to help its
propagation. This reckless havoc has pro
duced inevitable scarcity, until, in river
and land alike, wild animals worth pursu
ing can hardly he obtained without going
into the wilderness. Happily, the reaction
has Iteptin. Pisciculture has attracted a great
doal of attention lately, and in various por-
dertaking have encouraged them to other
efforts in the same direction. It is intended
to introduce the black bass into the Sus•
quebaunu, Juniata, and other rivers, in
large numbers, and as this fish propagates
very rapidly, and is of delicious flavor when
served up for the table, it is thought that a
new, abundant and cheap article of food
will soon be provided for the people of our
iniaral towns. If the experiment is suc
cessful there is no reason why salmon and
other good doh may not be cultivated also.
PA'ttNii nN EI,E,rICIN WM/I.:h.—A cur
responden L of the Er/n . 6,1 writes to that
newspaper the following description cf
paying un election wager:"
That variety is the spice of life," is a
maxim which was fully appreciated by the
citizensof Churchtown u few eveningssince.
As political demonstrations, consisting of
processions, delegations, and floating of
flags and banners, had become a thing so
common during the campaign just closed
as to attract but little attention, we have
. been finally relieved with a change in the
line of processions, which, in our (.t.infia
. non, has "capped the climax." A wager
on the last elecTion was entered into be
tween Dr. J. H. Long and Prof. Frankem
field, of Churclitown, in which one of the
defeated party was to wheel his colleague
on a wheelbarrow from one end of the vat
loge to the other. The result oral,- election
entitled the Doctor to the proposed ride.
Saturday evening, the 14th, between the
hours ot nine and ten o'clock, the time ap
pointed for the wheeling, found the than,
pion at his post. The procession formed at
toe east end of the village. The Doctor
very deliberately look Lis unoushioned
seat, in Laplander style, with his body
erect, and his legs projecting in a horizon
tal position; while the Professor, who has
plenty of grit, and always a full supply of
tumor, stepped to the shafts, and with this
dacrity of a Trojan, took up the fine of
march, accompanied by the Caernarvon
Cornet Band. At the end of the cute the
Doctor railed for three cheers for his worthy
champion, three for ffrant, and three more
for the band, which were given with a
hearty good will, after which the crowd
dispersed, none feeling the worse for enjoy
ing a good and wholesome laugh.
WINTER EvE.Nclos.—An exchange Hays
that the delightful winter evenings are
again with us, and al ref .y the gatherings
around the fireside are growing interesting
and attractive. The nights now come on
a: six o'clock, and in consequence we have
four long hours until bed time to devote to
amusement and study, The endearments
of home constitute a world of pleasure in
themselves, and, when associated with
mental and morel improvement, they lead
us n step higher than the ordinary level of
lite. The whisperings of a mother's love,
the kind counsels of the grey-haired sire,
mingling, as they sometimes do, with
younger and happier voices, give to the
family circle an attraction and yalue which
are not to be found elsewhere among the
Wilhite of men.
Why men will sometimes wander from
their homes and firesides to seek for happi
ness and enjoyment elsewhere, when every
grace and affection is natural and centered
there, is not only a wonder but a mystery.
There may be instances where homes are
notes happy and attractive as they should
be. Cases of misplaced confidence and
love, which alas, are destined, too often, to
be turned into gall and bitterness; but
these are but rare. There is no place, as a
general thing, where the same measure of
worldly peace and comfort can be found, as
around our own fireside, be it ever so hum-
Me in-its character. The plain hut of the
fisherman upon the storm-beaten shore, is
often preferable, so far as treasures of the
heart are concerned, to the dwellings and
habitations of kings and princes. Where
the light and joy of pure, unadulterated
love reside, there is allot that gladness and
peace, which the soul, in this world, has it
rght to anticipate.
But our winter evenings are productive
of vast and infinite improvement, when
they are properly appropriated. Reading
conversation and reflection—an inter
change of those thoughts and sentiments
which pertain to our higher Interests; a
Suct comprehension of our true character
and destiny—these of right belong to the
lessons and teachings of the fireside and
bring the family alter nearer, if possible, to
the ;prone of God. A word or two spoken
in Beason, and the breathi❑g of the pure
spirit of prayer, in kindred gatherings,
have often abed illuminations over the
pathway, which have lighted men in tri
umph to the grove., Let us therefore cherish
and value our winter evenings at home.
They have a comfort not found elsewhere, a
religion without pretense or bigotry, a gen
eral philosophy which will bear the test of
criticism, and a hope that carries us far be
yond the ordinary trials and struggles of
this life.
PROFITS OF FARMING.—It the average
profits of farming are less then five per
cent. It dolts not follow that the same men
Would do better bychanging their business.
There is more unskilled labor on the farm
than in any other cailleg, and that kind of
labor has a hard time In any business. An
exchange, with respect to this subject, states
that if some men make but two per cent.
by farming:others make Dighton their
caF-
Itat and furnish themselves and their son,
with remunerative employment all the
while, which is one of tho great advantages
of farming. The remedy of unsuccessful
farming is not a change of business, but a
change of policy. Knowledgeandskilt pay
as well on the farm as in the workshop or
counting room. _
