The IrreHe6qiable Paper Dollar* The great mass of consumers —and they, of course, form the majority of this commu nity.—will perhaps take a deeper Interest in the., discussions on the and will presstbeir representatives.more'earnestly toward therigotcondosloDi if they consider that this ijuestloh in political, economy touches tbeir .every-day oread and butter. For the worn pieces of paper, which are m promises to pay ” of oar Government that cannot be redeemed, circulating from hand to hand, each one of our readers pays i Q h* B morning coffee, his sugar, his tea, his broad cloth, his furniture, his silks and wloes, and the material of his buildings and his bouse rent. It is a tax paid almost universally— not only on all foreign articles-, l?at on all lal?or and all the resalts of labor. - Most of all, it is a tax which benefits noohe, except 1 perhaps the foreign importer add the home speculator, and oiten it ruins them. It pays no debt and accumulates no savings for the •future. We have now no fixed standard of value. The Government puts out a note which it calls “a doiair.” It is in reality a fluctua- ting value, worth once forty cents, worth ’now seventy-two cents, to be worth in a year perhaps eighty or eighty.five cents. All the salaried classes, teachers, and the | like, who are paid tbe old rates, do not re ceive a thousand dollars or two thousand, ! as the case may be, but some considerable fraction less, perhaps not more than balf the old value. Those who have increased salaries, and the wageclasa whose wages have risen, really enjoy most uncertain in comes, and less in. value probably than their former, for they must pay notonly tbe regular profits of retailer and importer, but alsotbeadditlonal profits there demanded for tbe risks of an uncertain standard ofvalue The merchaut who buys his coffee on cred it withadollaral|seveniy*twocents,with tbe cbancef.that when be pays it may be worth eighty-two dents,- musfc evidently charge a percentage on the und each consumer "pays that. No business man knows exactly what his property will be a year Jrorn now, and therefore he mus* exact from cus tomers some equivalent for bis uncertain ties. We all pay a tax continually on this paper dollar, which is the heaviest and loast remunerative of our taxes. All ex change becomes uncertain under it, uud business slackens. The man who would buy, fears that when ho comes he must discharge his debt iu specidp and he who would soil, dreads to receive what is only worth a fraction of its apparent value. One great addition to a country’s capital building—is everywhere obstructed by these uncertain values. The Irredeemable paper dollar, too, adds to all our other taxes. We uro all paying, in one ahapo or another, portions of one hundred and forty million* of interest money '’annually ; the great bulk of it being at the rate of six per ceut. in gold. Woro our credit re-established, und the paper equal to the gold dollar, this annual taxation could undoubtedly be reduced one-third, or some forty jive millions, by funding. As illustrating the effect o, tho irredeem able dollar on lorolgu commerce, Mr. Com missioner Wells gives a striking instauce, in Ills report, of one of our manufacturers who mude cane-bottom chairs adapted lor warm and exported them to the West Indies und Bouth America. When gold and currency were at par, iu 1361, $l,OOO in gold would obtain ill 19 do/.sn of chairs. In 1864, $l,OOO tould purchase 143 dozen, and trade increased ; but, as labor and commodities rose in price,the purchas ing power of gold fell, and in January, 1867, $l,OOO would only by 895; now, wun the puper dollar at 72 cents, $l,OOO will only purchuno 102 dozen, or nine dozen less than it would buy in 1861, when paper and gold were equal. Thu consequence is that the foreign.purchasor goes to another market, and is turned away, perhaps never to resume its old channels. And this coun try—which must haye sugars, spices aud djowoods from these tropical regions—cun no longer pay for these w>th this manufuc ture f and must send gold in return, this di ! inimshing still further our basis of specie for luture resumption. This ‘particular , article of cane-bottom chairs is only one in stance of many manufactures which are : crippled by the irredeemable paper cur- I rency. Tho manufacturer in tho above instanco , could only furnish 102 dozen chairs lor i $l,OOO, (gold,) as.against 111 dozen in 1861, because the changing standard raised all his oxpenses, whether lor material, rent or : labor, above even their legitimate rate in j gold vuluu, while he must compete with j joreign manufacturers, who have a fixed : standard of value, and can cut every ex- I penso down to an exact und low rate. It J must not be forgotten that every business I mun must churge a profit on an uncertain ' standard. Every ar(icle of manufacture or produce which is exported, aud enters into compe tition with foreign articles, suffers from precisely this difficulty which has brokeu l up tho cane-chair export. Each producer’s I expenses in the United Stales are relative |ly greater thun those of a foreigner living ; under a specie standard, and the eonse- 1 queues is the home producer is gradually driven out ol foreign markets,and m some cases is undersold even in our own, inface of a heavy protective tariff. We thus are forced to pay for our imports with gold, und put off still later the day of resumption. The same difficulties which environ the manufacturer, surround every householder. All are paying a useless lax on our cur rency. The old axiom that “an irredeem able currency is the robbery of labor," may be extended; “tho irredeemable dol lar is a tax ou all classes, without benefit or equivalent."—A. Y. Times. swallowed, seized a musket, aud warned the man who had so grossly injured him to " keep oil'.” The latter contiuued to ad vance, when Woolley tired, the charge tak ing effect in Fleming’s abdomen, causing death in a few minutes. Wooliey gave himself up, was tried, convicted, and sen tenced to death. Recently a petition was circulated in bis behalf, but the Court of Pardons refused to interfere. The prisoner has patiently endured his iucarceratiou, and bus received the visits of several clergymen, who have done alt to administer to his spiritual comfort. Ho has appeared repent aut, and has studiously read the Bible, and up to the moment of execution was resigned to his fate. Rum, he says, was tho cause of his crime. During Wednesday two clergymen, the Rev. A. S. Dealy, ot tho Protestant church, and the Rev. ,J. 11. Brooks, a Methodist minister, attended oti Woolley, and uutil he retired to sleep prayed with and exhort ed him. As with othercrimiuals who have expiated their crimes by death, so it was with Woolley. His last nig.it on earth was passgjJsquietly and calmly. He slept ap parently to those about him, as though on the morrow be expected to wake to tho or dinary routine of daily life. Dreams of pleasure or of pain might have passed through his mind, but no tell-tale sjghiDgs or weary tossings enabled the ob server to judge oi the workings of the brain. To all appearances he slept ns one would rest whose soul neither knew crime nor anticipated so fearful aud impending u doom. When, in the morning, he rose his spirit ual advisers again prayed and read with him. A few gentlemen visited him, and with them he conversed of the ciime and of his former life. Of tho killing of Fleming he disclaimed any knowledge, but added that ifhe did shoot him, itwas unintention al. He spoke of his former life, and of his near approach to death, and of the latter seemingly without regret, for he said he was prepared to die. The time passed quickly, aud at ten o’clock his son visited mfh. The father and sou,, who had not seen each other for thirteen years, met only to bo separated in two briefhours ; the father to die a felon’s death the son to go' out into the busy world. The scene be tween them was such an one as is rarely seen, and rar9ly described, for none care to intrude on the privacy of a meeting of so affecting a nature. Woolley’s two son S-in-law also visited him, and for an hour and a half talked with him, and then were interrupted at half-past eleven o’clock by the entrance of the sheriff, and the announcement that the hour had arrived when the condemned man must prepare for his death. Wooliey knelt and prayed, and rising had the noose placed about his neck, and the cap that was to hide his ugony from the spectators was drawn over his face. Led by Shriff Patterson, a procession was formed and escorted on either side by the clergymen. Woolley walked from his cell. In the jail yard five hundred people were congregated, standing shivering In the cold, waiting patiently for the gratification of a prurent curiosity. The scene in the yard had in it nothing extraordinary. On tho tops of the low jail walls board fences bad been erected, to prevent the execution being witnessed from the neighboring houses. The scaffold stood at the end of the yard, a plain structure of two uprights and one cross beam, and pendant from the cen tre of the latter was the rope. Under this same scaffold, in 1853, Peter Slocum, and later, in 1866, James p. Don nelly, were executed.- A short walk ofafew seconds brought Woolley under the beam. As be stood there the sheriff read his death warrant, the cap was secured on his face, his arms pinioned, the rope adjusted, and he stood ready for death. A moment of suspense followed—just barely a moment— lor while the crowd, with “ bated breath,” stood eagerly watching the gallows and the figure standing alone beneath it, a sharp click: sounded, the weight fell, the culprit shot upwards Towards the cross-beam, then fell to the tension of the rope, and Woolley hang In midair, dyi g. For a few minutes the body turned on the rope, swaying slightly, then hung straight and stiff In death. After fifteen minutes had elapsed It waß taken down and' examined. The sur geons pronounced life extinct, and the re mains were placed in the coffin for burial, — Cor. Phila, Inquirer. Congressional' Proceedings. , . ;.. . Jan. 6.

Burkley, who mysteriously disappeared in that cily a week ago : As ;be passed the American Foundry, corner of Water and Lower Sixth streets, be met two men, but passed on, not suspect ing anything at that time in the evening, it being about seven o’clock. He had passed on only a few rods, when tbe two men rushed up behind him, throwing a blanket over hjs head.and bearing him down to tbe eround. He was securely bound, his bands, being tied, and put in a wagon, which was driven off rapidly, but in what direction Burkley could not tell, as the blanket was kept over bis bead and face. At a late hour that nigbt the wagon was stopped, and be was taken iDtoa house and placed in a room having no window’s. His money was de manded, and be gave up every cent be bad eigbty-five dollars; but bis captors were not satisfied, and proceeded to search his person, but found nothing further. Burkley was kept a prisoner in this room until last nigbt [Sunday,] and saw no one save the two men who captured him. There j was no fire ip-ihe room duringall that time, | and, as a matter of course, he suffered con • : siderably from the cold. He was regularly [ fed, but says he neither saw nor heard a | woman about the house. He describes tbe 1 house as a large one, but could not tell any- I thing aDout it, or where it is situated. i When Burkley asked these men w’hy ho ! was detained there, and inquired what they j intended to do with him, they replied, gruf- ! fly, that they did not know, but would tell him when they had decided. The idea was conveyed to bis mind that murder was con templated, and he pleaded with them to spare his life. Not until last nigbt about ten o’clock was he permitted to leave his place of confinement. At that hour ho was taken in, covered with a blanket,and plac ed iu a wagon. From that time until near daylight this morning the team was driven at a brisk pace but from what direction he could not tell. At about four o’clock this morning he was unbound, put out of tbe wagon, and told by bis captors to go borne. On looking about him Mr. Burkley found himself a short distance above the Jeffer sonville railroad bridge over Silver Creek. Before releasing him, however, the kid knappers enjoined Mr. Burkley never to mention the affair to any one, , else they would hunt him up again. Burkley ven tured to look back as no crossed tbe rail road bridge and saw tbe men driving through the woods going nortiiward, iu Clark county. Mr. Burkley has no idea as to who the kidnappers are. A Brothers Opinion of Beecher. The New York Democrat says we have before us a letter writteu by James Bush, from Middle River, iu answer to a letter from the publisher of the Independent, ask ing him to aid iu extending the circulation of that paper. Brother Bush has a worm in his mouth against tbe pious Henry Ward 8., whose auction shop is over in Brooklyn, and thus expresses himselfquite completely. We think this bush is a sort of “ burning bush.” If he is not such now, he will be at that final day, if he fol lows the teachings of the illustrious guide of Brooklyn Heights, which by the way, we should judge be does not intend doiog. Therefore be may be a bright and shiniug, instead of a burning bush. Hosays: I received your letter a week ago, asking if I would aid in circulating ent. This is my first convenience for reply. I have been a reader of that paper for two years. The principal attraction it had was Beecher’s sermons. I have always spoken well of the sermons till I learned that Beecher is classed among the moneyed mea of New York, and have discovered a me tallic or financial ring to his discourses that do not please me well. I think his sermons are merely a scheme to make money. You cannot worship God and mammon. And I tbink'Beecher cannot do justice to religion when his time is devoted more to money-getting than preaching. In view of the depth and beauty of his ser mons, I try to put away prejudice, but I can’t at all times. I had almost laid aside my prejudice against Mr. Beecher and his sermons, "wheD I read at the beginning of one of them, as though it were a text, that a copyright had been secured on it. Think of a copyright of the sermon on tbe Mount! If anybody got a copyright on that, Christ did not. Think of Paul’s Epistles locked up in the name of Christ till money would buy them of a monopolizer, who would copyright the plan or guide to heaven. It seems to me that this is more of a money , than religious business ; that it will have no effect to bring sinners to repentance. And if Mr. Beecher would put away his love ot money and give his sermons to the world, there would be a heaven of beauty opened to his view that he has not been able to see. And I think by giving away his sermons, or not copyrighting them, he would lay up treasures, and do some good. Amalgamation—A Distrusting Case—Mar riage of a Negro to n Pretty White A strange couple came up from Erie, on the Lake Shore Road, Saturday evening exciting tbe disgust and intense curiosity of every passenger- in the car. It com prises a sooty, greasy negro, and a pretty white girl, whom he had married tbe day before at Erie. The girl evidently felt a great deal of shame at her situation, for she kept herself doubly vailed, and looked out of the car all the time. Her Othello , however, was all passionate tenderness and attention. We have learned the an tecedents of the pair, which we lay before our readers: On Thursday, a tall, gaunt, very black negro, about forty years of age, registered at the Morton House, Erie, as “William Lindsey and wife, Ohio.” He requested the landlord to give him tho best room in the house, as his wifo would ar rive on the next train, fcnd join him. His “ wile” not putting in an appearance by the next morning, he went t.o Oberlin after her. It happened thnt the girl—Carrie Brown by name—however, wa9 en route for Erie, to join her lover (ugh!), and the train that he was on, passed hers. Arriving at Erie, and learning the state of affairs, Carrie remain ed in the depot till evening, when Lindsey returned from Oberlin. They then went to the botel*and asked to be shown to his room. The landlord asked the negro if the lady with him was his wife. Andrews answered him in the Affirmative The landlord then interro gated ther lady who was a beautiful young girl. She said they - were hot 'yet married, but that they had come for the purpose of being marrtad. The two were then told that they must produce a certificate of marriage before they could occupy a room together, whereupon they called upon the Rev. Mr. Nutting, of Erie, and were married. The girl said fhe came from Boston, Mass.; that, she had been living in the family of Prof. Allen, of Oberlin, and attending school; that she there met this man, her present husband, Wm. Delancey alias Wm. Lindsey. He says ho is a Wesleyan Methodist preacher. Prof. Allen knew of her leaving to marry the negro, and was in favor of her mar riage. They left Erie on Saturday morn iDg for Oberlin. The bride is a very pretty girl, and was well dressed. She says her parents live in Boston. She has been in Oberlin since October last, Tbe girl is about eighteen or nineteen years of age. De Lancey wore a tall stovepipe bat, and carried a cotton umbrella in his hand.— Cleveland Plaindealer. {How Counterfeit {totes are Blade. A party of men, say from threetoadozeD, get together and hold frequent meetings, and act according to a plan laid down. • One ortwo will find out some copperplate printer in the employ of the bank note printing office—in fact, all such printer-* are known by the party. These men will manage to meet one of the printers in the eyening, get acquainted, drink and have a good time generally with him, and so proceed for a few evenings. Then they oner him from §5O to §l5O to procure a certain kind of im pression. This impression is made in this wise: The printer will take an impression upon tin foil from the plate from which he is printing, which can be done in a moment. Thus you see every line and size is obtained correctly. From this tin foil and electrotype plate is made, They then get some plate printer that can be found about the city, have a good time with him and engage him for twenty dollars per day to do the printing.—By this plan thousands of copies are struck offwhich defy detection, except in the qual ity of the paper, which will slightly differ from the genuine. The place of manufac tury is generally some distance from New York, like Staten Island, Flatbusb, or sometimes Baxter street, or similar locali ties in the city. It is a strange fact in every case where a party of this kind exißts that every member lacks confidence in his as sociates. Every move made by one is narrowly watched by theotbers of the par ty. It would be death to an informant or spy that did not look well, to himself.— New York Suu. Vick’s Floral Guide.

The Winter term of Franklin and Mar shall College was opened with appropriate exercises in the College Chapel on Thursday morning. Instead of the usual introduc tory address by one of the Professors of the Institution a number of orations were de livered by the members ofthe Senior Class. The devotional part of tbe exercises were conducted hy Rev. J. W. Nevin, D. D., the President 6f the College. The first address was delivered by Mr. .0. L. Asbenfelter, and consisted of a well written and well spoken dissertation on the Gladiatorial combats which were accustomed to take place in the Colloseum at Rome during the palmy days of that most pow erful ol ancient nations. The terrible and sanguinary character of these bloody com bats were well described by tbe orator and during the progress of the oration a touch ing allusion was made to the sufferings and martyrdom of the early Christians who perished for the entertainment of a brutal Roman populace because they remained firm in their adherence to the faith of the Gospel. The speaker stated that tbe fond ness of the Roman rulers and people for this barbarous and inhuman amusement jvas a great means of bringing about the downfall of that great empire. The second address was delivered by Mr S. A. Bear. This gentleman briefly re viewed tbe history of the rise and progress of Mahometanism, that system of religion which placed the Koran in one hand of its de votees and the sword in the other, and made them a terror to the nations. Tbe speaker stated lhat although Mahometanism had stood firm during many centuries, recent events have shown that tbe Christian re ligion can alone give stability to a nation. The Mahometan kuo ws nothing of the en lightening influences of Christianity, and it is consequently do wonder that theTnrkish nation is surely falling, and when it has entirely fallen then Christianity will illu mine that dark place among the nations of i Europe, and a now and better era will be inaugurated. Mr. Bear spoke in a tone of voice that could be heard by nil, and his gestures were appropriate. Mr. G. F Rosenmiller had for his subject “Tbe Migrations of the Nineteenth Cen- tury,” which he handled in a highly prac tical and entertaining manner. The selec tion of this subject by Mr. R. was in good taste; it was capable of being so treated as to interest an audience and the speaker, having the good sense to perceive it t wrote the oration sons toaocomplisbtbis purpose. His delivery and gestures were such as to satisfy the most captious critic. The orator expressed himself as Rtrongly favoring foreign emigration, and stated that the proud and imposing temple of liberty which we are*,now building needs strong hands to construct it. Mr. R. also argued that the different nationalities ofthe people of this country will in the futuro be a source of National strength, and that by guarding well our laws and remembering the poor and oppressed of other climes, the future liberty and prosperity of our coun try will be secured. Mr. W. Donat next delivered in good style an oration eulogistic of the Germanic tribes who ultimately possessed themselves of Rome when that powerful empire became weak through the licentiousness of its peo ple. Tbe speaker stated that the descend ents of these strong and sturdy conquerors of Rome were a power at a later day as the Reformation and our own Declaration of Independence indicates. 0. C. S. Herman bad for his subject "Pompeii” Mr. H., in well constructed sentences depicted the destruction of this, populous and wealthy city some seventeen hundred years ago, and his description of tbe striking physical changes, w;.ich accom panied lhat event, was well conceived and finely .written. Mr, Herman’s manner of speaking and his gestures were not good, but his faults are of such a character that by practicing speaking in public fora sbor time they can be readily overcome. Mr. M. J. Hess spoke on “The Influences of Poetry.” The orator in the first place spoke of its cheerful and encouraging in fluences over the minds of a people when written iu a proper mannor ; he next pro ceeded to state the;rules to which all poetry in order to be excellent and truly poetical must conform. The speaker mentioned tbe influences for good that the great poets of Spain, Germany, and England had ex erted over the people of ihoso countries and j sta'ed that the character of a nation may be learned from the qualities of its epic 1 poems. Mr. Hess said that America had ; not as vet produced an epic poet, bnt no doubt in tbe future some great poet will fitly narrate the virtue, bravery, aod illus trious actions ofthe American people. Mr. Hess delivered his oration well, and bv its composition demonstrated that he was quite familiar with the great productions oi the most celebrated poets of ancient and mod ern times. Mr. J. F. Hoke delivered an oration on tbe Roman Empire its magnificence and the tyranny of some of its rulers who have rendered themselves infamous for all time by their cruelty and rapaciousness. Mr. Hoke said that an excellent moral can bo derived from the contemplation of Roman History. The early inhabitants of the Em pire who laid tbe foundation for Its future greatness were people of rigid morals and great bravery and, trained by strict disci pline to govern themselves, they soon con quered others ; but m a later age they lost their virtues without losing their defects and becoming corrupted by luxury public opinion was left to revel in acts of cruelty. Mr. Hoke acquitted himself creditably in the delivery of his oration. Mr. W. N. Krerner, the last speaker, had for his subject “ Law ” in the most compre hensive acceptation of the term. Theorator stated that all the World’s activities aud forces are brought under the influence of law ; it is the true and vitalizing principle ot action; it guides the stars and moves the universe in harmony. In the depths of tbe green and unchanging forest, in the rain drop, and the thunder cloud, is found law ; a vast analysis of all Nature would evince that all is ruled by an undeviating law; a Superintending "intelligence gov erns tbe universe and in this Intelligent ori ginates law. The moral part of man’s being is also subjected to a law for transcending in importance the law governing tho ma terial world—a law based upon the idea of man being subordinate to his creator. As does life so does law full back to, God and fined its origen in the breast of the Infinite— obedience to law is therefore the proper ser vice ot man. Law always speaks to man in the same language, even when he is blinded by the mists of passion. Man sinks into bondage by denying law and when he opposes it he battles with himself; in order that there may be true Freedom tbe whole world must be brought to recog nize law. Mr. Kremer’s gestures were [graceful and his voice good;, the above synopsis, can convey but an imperfect idea •of his oration which contained many beau tiful thoughts expressed iu eloquent and appropriate sentences. The Winter term of the college com mences under very favorable auspices tbe whole number of students who are expected to attend the institution in all Its depart ments, during the ensuing term, being about 120. The Second* Day’s Exercises.—The seniors of Franklin and Marshall College were greeted with another select and ap preciative audience, on Friday morning, to listen to the remainder of their orations. We learn that all present were pleased with the creditable manner in which the young orators acquitted themselves—both as to style of composition and delivery. Not being present ourselves we are unable to give any synopsis of the orations, or to ex press any opinion of their respective merits or defects. The following are the names of the orators of yesterday morning with the names of the subjects of their several ora tions : David B. Lady—“ Macbeth.” Jas. R. Patterson—“ Conservatism.” James B.Deshler—“The Uses of History.” Geo. W. Snyder—“ The Necessity of Faith in the Study of History.” N. Z. Snyder—" Character.” J. M.

Wiogerd—“The Power of the Greek Church in History.” Suicide.— William E. Ranck, residing near the Sorrel Horse tavern, in East Earl township, committed suicide on Wednes day evening, by hanging himself from an apple tree. He left his dwelling house at about nine o’clock, and in about half an hour afterward he was found suspended by the neca, the rope in which the noose was. made beingonly about two feet from the gzound. Deputy Coroner Bixler held an inquest on the body of the deceased. The verdict of the jury was in accordance with the above faots. Mr. Ranck, who was a respectable citizen, kept a store at the Sor rel Horße a few years ago. No cause has been assigned for the rash act.— Express, Director's Elected.— The following persons have been elected directors of “ The Lancaster County National Bank ” for the ensuing year: Christian B.

Be oPExnrGr Moravian Church. —The Moravian" Church which for the last' six monthshas been undergoing extensive aiteratiODS, was re-opened on Sunday and was filled to overflowing at both the more- ( ing and even ihg services. < ' The church has been greatly enlarged, j having been lengthened so as to connect : with. tbeSnnday school building in tbe rear, into which the recess oi the pulpit has been . lextended. The galleries have been taken down, and tbe sidd windows enlarged and glazed with stained glass. ' The organ gal lery has been thrown farther ont in the’ [church; the large new organ, the gift of I Geo. K. Reed, Esq., has not yet been put | np, the builder according to the costom of I many mechanics,' having tailed to meet bis I contract as to time. Tbe church is elegant ly illuminated from tbe ceiling, a large re flector throwing the light down upon tbe congregation. A new pulpit and reading desk have been bnilt, new carpets laid down, and all the pews haye been sumptu ously cushioned. Three aisles have been , made in place of tbe two formerly used, i and the cbnrchbasbeen repainted through out. i Two anthems were sung at the morning service and two at the evening service by thejustly celebrated choir of tbe Church, : under tbe leadership of Mr. A. M. Zabm; tbe solos were superbly delivered by Miss Eliie Johnston, Miss .’Emily Demuth and Mnj. James F. Ricksecker; An elegant organ, kindly J. B. Keviuaki, in the morning. was ,tinder the charge of H. C. Rlckseckei;, brganist of.tbe Cnurch, and in the evening was handled by B. Z Shfeiner, organist of Trinity Lutheran Church. j In the morning au excellent sermon was" delivered by tbe Rev. Mr. Kluge, of Liiiz; Rev|ds De Schweinitz. of Bethlehem, Rice, of York, and Rosenmiller, of this city, as sisting Bishop Bigler in the performance of the service. In the evening, after the read ing of a Psalm by ihe Rev. Mr. Kremer, of the Ist German Reformed Church, Rev. Mr. De Schweinitz who is the President of the ‘.‘Provincial Elders’ Conference - or Managing Committee of the American Church, and who was formerly tbe greatly beloved pastor of this congregation, made an excellent congratulatory address, speak ing with much f eliog, and urging his hearers “ forward.” Rev. Mr. Greenawald, of Trinity Lutheran, followed with an elo quent tribute to the Moravian Church, for which he expressed great affection; he ad mired the quietndeof their settlements and i the self sacrificing devotion and zeal ex hibited in their Missionary enterprises; he had passed his youth under tbe shadow of the Moravian Church at Gracebam, Md., and many of tbe maturer years of bis life upon tbe banks of the Tuscarawas, Ohio, the scene of tbe Missionary labors of tbe Moravians under Zeisinger, with the In dians. The Rev. Mr. Barker, of St. John's Epis copal Chnrcb, next delivered an address of like congratulatory tone, and was followed by Rev. Mr. Rice, who thanked the Rev. Greenawald for the complimentary terms in which he had spoken of tbe Moravian Church, but said he did not agree with him in his regret that their quiet settlements were being invaded by tbe whistle of the locomotive, and the bustle of trade; it was well enough to have retired villages where those weary and worn-out with life’s) con flict might find rest: but this was not all that was wanted, nor should the church content itself with so meagre an aim. It should be more aggressive, and have in fused in it more of the energy and activity of youth. It should not rest content with tbe laurels it had won, but press on to still greater victories. Mr. Rice is right an I full of energy and oloquence, he is well fitted to lead the church in tho way he points out. We recollect that after he graduated at Yale College, he sat himself down in New Haven, and gathered quite a little congregation about him. We are perfectly satisfied that any manwho has been able to find a dozen earnest Christians in the city ol New Jlaven, cau perform any feat to which ho may put his hand.

Fibe—Destruction . of. Kauffman’s New Building.—Ou Sunday morning, at about 5 o’clock, CoL C. S. Kauffman’s new dwelling, on the comer of Cherry and Seo ond streets, Colombia, was discovered to be on Are. The alarm was given, bnt before the fire department was able to effect any thing, the entire inside of the building was in-fiames, which, of course, rendered it im possible to save it from entire destruction. There wasa strong wind blowing from the north-west, which saved the dwelling ad-- joining, belonging to William Patton, Esq. A hose and branch pipe attached to the Co lumbia engine was taken to the roof of the Methodist Church, on the opposite which was In imminent danger, being covered with a Bhingle roof. The heavy • rain daring the night no doabt saved from destruction the entire block, of build ings between Cherry and Union street*, The firemen rendered every aid within their limited power to save the property. It seems that the main pipes leading from the reservoir are too small to carry a suf ficient quantity of water to supply the fire department, A town of the sire of Colum bia, and the wonderful growth exhibited by it during the past year, certainly de mands better, facilities than now exist to r prevent destruction by fire; and we bop^— ' nay, our citizens demand that facilities be provided for the better supply of water. The Columbia and Vigilant cotni auies done all in their power to save the further destruc tion of property. The Columbia steamer was the first in service, but could do but little with the seamy supply of water. The' members of the Vigilant Company areicen surable for neglecting to be better supplied with fuel, as it was some time before they got up steam; however their steamer ren dered effective service and worked to a charm. Had we ample supply of water, our steamers would be entirely effective in extinguishing at once the devouring ele ment; but as it is, our water department is in fault. If that institution ba3 done all it cuu do, let us have a new company char tered, or let the present company forfei* their charter to the borough authorities. Mr. Kauffman's house, when finished, would have been the finest in town. It was □early plastered, but the casiugs and doors were not up, or hung. There was an in surance of $2500 in the Putnam Insurance Company, of Hartford, Conn. The entire loss is about 812,000. The cuuse of the fire remains a mystery. Stoves were in the building, to dry the plaster, but great care was taken to prevent accident, sand boxes being all around them.

The firemen are under great obligations to Mr. Patton for the haudsome manner in which ho entertained them— haviog provided them with breakfast.- Xpy. Railroad Project.—a. correspondent of the Examiner writes, respecting the con struction of a railroad through the southern part of Lancaster county, as follows: For years past the attention, of thS~pub!ie has been callea to the various railroad pro jects which have been brought forward, having in view the more effectual develop ment of that portion of Laucastor county, bordered by the Susquehanna from Colum bia down, and the extreme lower town ships. Of these latter Fulton and Little Britain are at present in a state of commo tion on the subject, as a newsfmper corres pondent in their midst has given us to know, writing of their recent movement towards having a road from Peach Bottom toOxford; any one acquainted witfh the inteligent busi- I ness capacity and wealth of the people in that section of our county can only wonder that they have neglected such an important interest in their material progress for so ioDg. No section of country in the State, of equal wealth, is so isolated for the want of railroad facilities as theirs. As to whut route the road should take, is a matter of secondary consideration compared to the pressing want of being in some way placed in steam communication with the outside world. Let them build in what direction they will, the capital so employed will be found to be a good investment. From Peach Bottom to Oxford would be a good location. From Peach Bottom to Christiana would be equally good ; but from Lancaster city to the Delaware Bay, as an extension of the road now building from Pine Grove, Schuylkill county, to Lancaster, and on which the cars will be running in a year from this time, would bo tho ne ultra of them all. One objection, however, and a very strong one is in the way of carrying out this desir able scheme. It is simply that the Phila delphia it Reading Railroad Co. is building the northern portion of the line. This road In the bands of an independent company would make a formidable rival to the mam moth monopoly now controlling the entire coal trade of Schuylkill county, by opening a new outlet for coal at the western end of the lower coal basin, and carrying it to the deep, sait waters oftbeDeiaware fora ship ping point, possessed ofadvaotages such as Port Richmond,’Philadelphia, cannot possi bly furnish. Thus it is, when this prttfect is successfully carried through.it must be by or with the co-operation of the Philadelphia ifc Reading Railroad Company. The trade which mieht be fairly expected lo grow up along the line from Lancaster southward would be immense, so badly is a railroad needed iu that direction. Iron ore would be an important source of revenue to the rcted. Many openings are at present in operation—the. ore being hauled long dis tances in wagons to the nearest railroad points, whence it is again taken up and carried by rail still further to be used in the making of pig iron. Extend the Lan caster, Lebanon and Pine Grov« Railroad, and all this will be changed. Coal will be brought down and the ore smelted Dear to where it is mined, profiting the neighbor hood by the increased employment of cap ital and labor. Partios having money to invest might examine this sbbject with in lerest. Lancuster city might find it to her advantage to lend n helping hand. Mean while, let the lower end show its strength and accommodate itself with a road to suit itself, and prove conclusively that ‘ will o’ the wisp ’ and * Utopian dreams ’ do not find a lasting refuge with them. S " LOi 12 Another Veteran Gone. -Mr. John Ger ber, of this city, died last week at the usual period allotted to man by tbe Creator—three score and ten. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, and iu the late war, notwithstand ing his age, he went forth to do battle for his couutry, but old age and hard service, at last claimed him for their own, having worked till within a few days of his death. He was a weli known and respected citizen and died regretted by all who knew- him. Horses Stolen.- We are informed thaton Tuesduy uigbt three horses were stolen from a man, who resides on the properly of Mr. Nathaniel Myers, near Drumore Cen tre, this county. Tbe Express slates that on Wednesday night a mare was stolen from Win, K. Martin, near Getz’s tavern, on tho Colum bia turnpike.. Attempted On last Wed nesday night a£out 12 o’clock some person or persons attempted to break into tbe tailor shop of Mr. Isaac Buch residing In War wick, this county. Some of Mr. Buch s family, who were sleeping over tbe shop were awakened by tbe noise made by tbe thieves, and upon their getting up, the burglars made a hasty departure from the premises. $ 15.6117 28 Accident.— A|mou in the employ of the Pennsylvania Railroad had one of his legs badly crushed by the cars near Parkesburg, Chester county, last night. We were unable to learn his name; he is a resident of Phil adelphia. The limb had to bo amputated. 310,122,806 20 ... 28 07 25 4 B*2 70 110.021 New York, August 7th, ISGH. Mr. Editor Several of your correspond ents, very old and respectable no doubt, noun to be wonderiully exercised us to the origin of onr Pantation Bitters. So long as these Bitters are all that we represent them to be, we do not know that It makes any difference irom whom they come, or irom whence t&ey originated; but for the Information of the nuoiic generally, and old Capl. Wentz In par ticular, we will say that he fold the ti uth, and that these Bitters originated in the West. In dia Islands—that many of the Ingredients have been favorably used for over a century but that our com inatlon of Calisayn Is entire ly new, and our own. The rum and other ma terials are tbe same, and as your correspond ent says, a better Fitters and Tonic is not made. We recommend them par lcuiarly for dyspeptics, f ver and age, debility, loss of ap petite, and in all cases where a tonic and stim ulant is required. • ' Magnolia Water.— Superior to the best lra> ported German Cologue, and sold at half the price A National Insurance Enterprise.—The tendency of the Lime ts to nationalize enter prizes which axe for general public benefit* The Post Office Department is tbe sequel of private letter and parcel carriage; the national banking system at first met with very strong opposition, bat has had its merits fully proven; the Pacific Railroads show the advantage of supplementing private enterprise by govern ment charter and aid, and national supervi sion of railroads and telegraphs Is actively dis cussed. One of the latest lllustra'lons of this tendency Is the National Life Insurance Com pany of the United States of America, which was chartered iu July, 1863, for the transaction of Insurance business, the charter giving It a far wider field for operations than any mere State organization can have. A pald-yp capi tal of one million dollars attests the solid character of the enterprise, which Is managed by such widely and honorably known finan ciers as C. H. Clark, Jay Cooke, snd others. The Company preposes to do bnslness solely upon the stock principle, and to do this upon lower cash rates than are afforded by any com pany organized under the mutual plan. Avoid ing all complications of possible future divi dends, It pays those dividends In advance by its unusually low rates, and then makes a specific bargain of so much Insurance lor so much money. Having thos afforded Insurance upon', the Life plan at very low cash rates, the Company has Introduced some novel plans which must become very popular. Tbe In come-Producing plan not only pays the full amount of Insurance in case of death at any time, but emhodles a contract by which the Company Is bound to pay the Insured, after a certain term of years, an annual Income so long as he survives. ;By another plan—the Re turn Premium—the policies are constantly In creased by the amount of the annual premium si that on the death ol the person insured, his heirs receive not only tbe fall amount of the policy, but all the premiums he had paid. The Insurance thus costs no more than the inter est on the premiums, and the use of the money is all that the Company gains. Add to these facts the farther ones that the policies are ex empt from attachment and aro negotiable; that there Is no extra charge for .medical ex* aminat. ons or stamps ; that there are no re strictions upon the movementsof the insured, and it will be seen that the new Company pre sents unusual claims to the attention and con fidence of the public. 49" Rnpttire Correctly Treated by C.

It is the simplest as well as the most cunning in principle. T7iere is genius °nd high mechanical ability in its arrangement, and therefore it is most reliable and easy to keep in order. There is a directness of connection be tween the power and the result, never found by me in- the devices of any other inventor, and the me chanical results follow of the highest possible speed quiet and easy movement, which make it a delight to mechanicians. I think it justdenominate it one of the marvelsW the age.
