It; bothered us greatly to know bow capital was induced to flow into enterprises, in whlch therewas a moral certainty that it would receive no recompense for years; and the only ex planation was that the planters and busi ness men wore sufficiently enlightened to percoive that they would be repaid their in vestments indirectly, if not directly, by the Increase of business and the advance in the value of real estate’.

Tho fact of Cooper being seen under sus picious circumstances in the backyard of Mr. Fred. S. Jiletz in the borough of Colum bia, the evemug of the 2d of December last, was given in evidence; it was also testified that he gave, upon being questioned, no good reason why he was iu said yard. Officer McGinnis testified to the fact of the prisoner running away from him just before reaching Esquire Evans' office; that tho defendant, after running a short distance, fell down, purposely or otherwise, and being re-cap mred was taken before the Magistrate where he was examined aud no burglarious tools were found in his possession. Two boys testified to finding subsequently a lot of burglar’s implements consistingof a slung shot, nippers, false keys, jimmy, etc., near the place where the defendant fell. Tho burglar’s implements were produced and shown to the Court and jury. Esquire Evans test! lied that upon the prisoner being asked if he had any accomplices he replied that he was not green enough to tell, Esquire Evans also testified that the prisoner made some statements to him which wero after wards found to bo false, and that ho could refer him to no responsible parties to vouch for his character or occupation. The de fendant was consequently committed to prison for thirty days, aud was, after the finding of tho burglarious implements, de tained for trial at this Court of Quarter Sessions for attempted burglary. Tho de fense stated that they had no witnesses to examine on behalf of the defendant; and proceeded to show by the testimony of the witnesses for the Commonwealth that the defendant had entered Mr. Bletz’ bock yard as n matter of necessity the gate of said yard being open. It was also alleged that the burglar’s tools might have been dropped by some one else than the defendant as said tools were never seen in his possession. It was also stuted that the charge laid in the indictment could not be legally sustained by the facts in this caso even if udmitted; that according to the law no attempted burglary bad been committed on or about Mr. Bletz’ premises.

Tho complainant Louisa was by no means an attractive lady in ap pearance, yet the evidenco produced showed that sho had an admirerwho was a negro. Louisa being a white woman in color —if not iu principle—this conduct on her part exasperated her husband very much, who is a soldier lie having served three years in the recent war under Col. Hambright. Philip told Louisa that if she permitted any lurlher approaches on the part of her Afri can admirer he would deprive her of cer tain vital organs essential to her existence; that such threats were made was proven by several witnesses from the Welch Moun tain where the said parties reside.

The defence alleged that the indictment was laid under the law existing prior to April 8,3 SOS; that on that date the said law,was repealed, and that unless the liquor was sold before April Sth, 1868, the jury must acquit, and that from the evidence it was very doubtful that the liquor was sold since that date. Nau man, lor defence ; Dist. Attorney Brubaker, for prosecution. Com’tk vs. Wm. P.

The defendant on bis re turn home was irritnted at seeing his furni turo exposed to the weather and kicked in the door of the prosecutor which it is alleged was fastened., The lower panels of the door being broken to pieces, the prosecutor had the defendant indicted for malicious mis chief. Tho defenso alleged that the act of defendant was not wilfully nnd maliciously committed but was under'the circumstances permissible and therefore constituted no offence; that tho act must be wilful and without any .motive to make it malicious mischief. A Surety of the Peace case was next heard by tho Court, in which tho said Win. Kreager was defendant and the said Fran cis Kirchkessner complainant. It was tes tified that defendant had a club in his hand when he entered Itirchkessner’s house, : nftor breaking in the door, and that ho threatened to kill Mr. Iv.’s family with it; tho defendant made a statement in whioh •he denied threatening to kill any one.

San derson, that ne had already been impris oned for two months awaiting his trial, and that he was bo intoxicated when the lar ceny was committed that he did not know what he was doing.

An Indictment war. pre ferred against each of these defendants by Benjamin Henry, charging them with an assault and battery upon him at Knapp’s Brewery in the Beventh Ward of this city, on the 3d day of last November. The prose cutor, Mr. Henry, testifies that on said day he was chased down Locust street by two men named Hoglegantz and Apply, who bad been beating him, aud that when he ar rived atthe Brewery he asked the protection of defendants from the attacks of the parties who were chasing a "id maltreating him, but that instead of protecting him one of the defendants (Harter) struds at him but this blow-being warded off he was next struck by the other defendant (Focht) in the breast; that he was knocked down by the force of the blow and was rendered insensible for the space of some two minutes from its ef fects. A number of witnesses were called by the prosecution to corroborate this state ment of Mr. Henry. The witnesses called for the defense, swore that Mr. Focht was trying to close the large gate leading into the yard of Mr. Knapp’s brewery, of which establishment Mr. Focht is foreman, and that Henry, the prosecu tor in this case, and Messrs. Hoglegantz and Apply were staggering and brawling with each other in a drunken quarrel down the street or alley, and that Focht did not strike either of the parties, but merely push ed them, (when they all three fell over in the gutter) in order that he might get them out of his way so as to be able to shut the gate of the yard. It was also testified that Harter was not present at the striking, but that he subsequently came to the scene of the (Jifficulty—when it was all over, and when Henry had recovered from his fall and had ran some distance down the street. Some eight or ten witnesses testified to the general good character of defendants for being peaceable and well disposed men. K. W. Shenk and District Attorney Bru baker for prosecution ; Pyfer for defendants. The examination ot the witnesses and the addresses of the counsel in this case occu pied the whole of the afternoon session of the Court. Thursday Forenoon. —The Court met at 9 o'clock ; Judge Hayes presiding. The jury in the caso of Com’th vs. Cbas. Focht and John Harter, indicted separately but tried together, for assault and battery, returned a verdict of not guilty and the costs of prosecution to be divided between the prosecutor, Benjamin lienry, and the two defendants—the defendants paying two-tnirds of the whole costs and the prose cutor one third. Com’th vs. (Jeorge Hess—surety of the peace—the defendant was accused by the complainant, Charlotte Williams (colored), with haviDg made threats of taking ber life about a year and a half ago. The par ties reside in Paradise twp;, near the Cop per Mines: the Court, after hearing the evidence, dismissed the complaint and di rected the county to pay the costs. Reed for defence; District Attorney Brubaker for prosecution. Com’th vs. Joseph Wilson—indicted for refusing a legal vote on the 3rd of Novem ber last, at Washington borough. Warren Brown, the prosecutor, testified that he of fered to vote on the 3rd of November, early in the morning of that day, and that his vote was refused by the judge and one of the inspectors ; the names of the inspectors wore Julius Shuman and James B. Doug las, tho last named gentleman agreeing with the judge in refusing to receive the prosecutor’s vote; Mr. Brqwn also said that he had resided in the district for many years and had voted at the October election; he has resided where ho now resides for some 1G or 17 years past; the officers consti tuting the election board did not qualify him as to the fact of paying his taxes—his vote was refused by defendant because be said witness was illegally assessed. The election officers had tl?o assessment list in their possession ; the vote was refused be cause the property on which witness resided belonged to his wife, tho titleto it not being in witness’ name; ttie vote was objected to because witness did not pay his own taxes but his wife's taxes. The vote was chal lenged by Wm. Ward on these grounds ; witness would not swear, when requested to do so at tho election, that the property belonged to him; there was some discus sion at the election among different persons respecting witness’ right to vote. Julius Shuman, testified that he was one of the inspectors at the election, that he and Jas. B. Douglas, the other inspector differed respecting the legality of Mr. Brown’s vot ing; witness asserting that Mr Brown had the right to vote, and Mr. Douglas stating that he had not the right; the judge, the defendant in this case, deciding with Mr. Douglas, that Mr. Brown had not a right to vote ; the inspectors differed about the law, and the judge decided it; other votes were rejected during the day of the election, and the persons whose votes were refused be longed to both political parties. No witnesses wore examined on tho part of the defence; tho defence did not contend that the vote was illegal, but that tho vote was not rejected on account of any malice on the part of the Judge, Mr. Wilson, but that ho acted conscientiously in the mat ter; the refusal of the vote by him was, under the circumstances of the case his duty, he honestly believing that the vote was illegal. That in thus conscientiously discharging his duty—oven if ho was wrong in his judgment—he was not to be punish ed for a judicial error made in the honest discharge of his duty. The prosecution on the contrary argued that if u judge of an election knowingly re jects the vote of a legal voter—the law im plies malico and the judge is responsible to tho law for a violation of duty. Judge Hayes, in charging the jury after recapitulating the facts of the case, s’ated that if an election officer even conscientious ly and according to his own best judgment should refuse a legal voto, which he, the’ election officer, believed to be illegal, that he was indictable therefore and rendered himselfliable to a prosecution by the per son whose vote was so rejected, and that the words wilful and malicious do not appear in the law on this account, but simply the phrase, “knowingly rejectthat the high character of un election officer for probity and honesty of purpose could~not be con sidered under tho law as it stands, but that such persons, however conscientious their motives may be, must suffer for an orror of their judgment. It was for the jury to de cide whether the defendant did knowingly refuse the vote of the prosecutor or not. Atlee, Fisher and District Attorney Bruba kor for prosecution ; North aud S.'ll. Rey nolds for deiense. Com’th vs. George Jackson (colored,) the defendant was charged by Joshua Sourbeer, of West Heiuptield twp., with having re cently stolen $1 50 cents from his milk wagon while it was standing in a street in the borough of Columbia.

The jury in the case of Com’th vs, Joseph Wilson, of Washington borough, tried lor rejecting the vote of Warren Brown at the election on Nov. 3d, rendered a verdict of not guilty, and that the oosfs of prosecution should bo equally divided between the prosecutor and defendant. A formal verdict of Dot guilty was ren dered by tho same jury in the case of Com’ ih vs, James B. Douglas, indicted for rejecting tho vote of said Warren Brown at the same time and place ; tho county was directed to pay the costs in Mr. Douglas’ case. (Jom’th vs. Christian Shenk, indicted for resisting a public officer. The defendant resides in West King street, this city, where he keeps a hotel. The prosecutor John Mc- Cutcheon, constable of East Lampeter twp., testified that on the 31st day of August last he attempted to seize,a horse on the prem ises of delendant in accordance with an exe cution issued to him by Alderman John M. Amweg, of this city. The execution was issued,ou a judgment for $B5 in favor of Michael Stohl against Reuben Bircbfield and Samuel Clair. The prosecutor, Mc- CutcheoD, also stated that the deleudant grabbed him and took the horse from him stating that he did not care a damn for either the constable or his execution, and that he should not steal a horse out of his stable. The witness stated that he read the execu tion to Shenk, but that no attention was paid to it by him. The defense called some witnesses to rebut this evidence, that the prosecutor did not read his authority to Mr. S„ but surreptitiously came upon Mr. Shenk’s premises and attempted to take away a horse which he as a landlord had in his custody and for which he was responsi ble ; that defendant was not grabbed by Mr. .8., but that Mr. S. offered to take care of the horse for the prosecutor and give bail for him being kept safely, and that in the mean time the SSS for the payment of which this execution was levied was paid at Alderman Am weg’s office by Mr. Birch field, the horse’s owner.

The Court informed the jury that this could not be done, that according to law the county cannot be made terfeay part of the costs but most pay all of them or no part thereof. The jury being thus instructed again retir ed to re-consiaer the matter of costs, and after about an hour’s absence again return ed a verdict of not guilty, and the coanty I to pay all the costs.

Metzger in South Duke street, this city, on tho night of the 22d of November last. Dr. Metzger testified that he was awakened about 12 o’clock on said night by some one being in the back office where he was sleeping; he called out who was there I when the burglar made a hasty exit out of I the window by which he bad effected an en -1 trance. It ft was also shown by the evidence of the watchman at the Farmers’ Bank, and Officers Hensler and Lewara, and Aider man J. M. Amweg, that defendant finding himself surrounded by his captors fled into the alley which is without an outlet, and which leads by the North side of the dwell ing in which he had entered in a westerly direction. Finding that he could not escape in this direction the prosecution alleged that the defendent sought shelter in a water closet near said alley on the floor of which 1 he was found pretending to be asleep. The defence alleged that as the deieodant was indicted for burglary it was not only necessary to prove that he emerered the dwelling but also that he entered it with a felonious intent ; it must be shown tosustain ibe charge preferred in the indictment that defendant intended to commit a larceny in the house which he entered ; and as tbeev idence for the prosecution failed to show that any larceny was intended or committed by Askill, when he entered'Dr. Metzger’s office, a verdict ot not guilty must be rend ered. Tho Court in its charge sustained the defence in this view of the law of the case and the jury by direction of the Court rendered a verdict of not guilty without leaving thejury box. J. P. Rea for defence; District Attorney Brubakerfor prosecution. Friday Evening— Court met at 7J o’clock, Judge Hayes present.

Com’th vs. John McGouisk—indicted for assault and assault with intent to kill, nnd also indicted for forcible detainer. Bycon sent of the counsel engaged in the case the jury were instructed to render a verdict of not guilty to the second count in the first indictment charging defendant with assault with intent to kill, leaving for their considera tion the question of assault merely, and al so that of forcible detainer—it being agreed that to save time the defendant should be tried on both indictments before the same jury. The evidence for prosecution was that McGouisk took possession of a house in Safe Harbor, belonging to David Grieves <t Son, and that when Mr. Thos. S. M. Wright and another party went to take possession of the same the defendant pro cured a gun which ho cocked and aimed at Mr. Wright, who was engaged in throwing out of the house some corn, which defend ant had placed there, threatening to shoot Mr. Wright if he did not quit throwing out the corn and leave the premises. Mr. W., being afraid that defendant might shoot him left the house—this constituted the offences of assault and forcible detainer. The de fence alleged that defendant should have been legally warned from the premises— that he had no right, being a tenant of u house adjoining the dwelling in which he had placed the corn to be ejected from its possession on five minutes warning. The defencealso proved that defendant had been a soldier and was very severely wounded, and that his mind had been affected by the said wounds, which rendered him very ir ritable and made him at times the victim of a most violent temper. The Court charged tho jury that it was a clear case of forcible detainer—and that it was only for them to determine whether an assault had been committed.

A surely of the peace complaint preferred against McGouisk was dismissed by the Court. REPORT 01-’ TUE GRAND JURY" Tho Grand Jury mado the following re port : To the Honorable the .Judges of the Court of Quar ter Sessions of Lancaster County: The Grand Inquest inquiring for the Body of Lancaster County at the January Term, 1869, Respectfully Report: That we have acted upon all the indictments presented to us for our consideration, amounting in the aggregate to sixty—of which number 27 were found true bills and 33 ignored ; and approved the application of one bridge. It is a matter of extreme congratulation that the number of bills presented were consid erably below tho average, and the offences comparatively of a light character. It is omr opinion if the Alderman and Justices of the Peace in and for said county would act properly and fully within the sphere of their duty, that very many of those cases would never come beforo the Grand Jury of Lan caster county. Wo have visited tho Public Institutions —the County Prison, Alms House and Hospital. We found the prison undergoing repairs which, when completed, will make it much more secure and much more comfortable for the inmates; every other part of the prison we found in good order, and the inmates as comfortable as the nature of their circumstances will permit. We think the present keeper well qualified to discharge the duties incumbent upon him. We would suggest the necessity of putting up new lightening rods at said prison, as the old ones are not in a condi tion to protect the building. The Almshouse aud Hospital wo found, under the efficient management of the present superintendents Messrs. Samuel Bpeilmau and J. O. Sleinbauser, to be in good order, every part in, around and about it neat and clean, and we felt much grati fiedjto find the poot and helpless of Lancas ter county so well cared for, and apparently so comfortable. To the Sheriff, J. F. Frey, Esq., the District Attorney, George Bru baker, and the tip-stave Geo? Gundaker, and particularly to the Honorable Court, the Grand jury would most cordially and ! respectfully tender their thanks. All of which is most respectfully submitted.

Arrested on Suspicion. —A correspon dent in Drumore twp., writes to us the fol lowing additional particulars respecting the recent stealing of the three horses from Mr. J. L. Kreider of that township. Aftef the horses were missed by Mr. K. he immedi ately gave the alarm among his neighbors, some five or six of whom started in pur suit, taking different roads ; the thieves were traced as far as Elkton, Md., and be yond that point they had not been heard of. An officer arrested a man in Elkton sup posed to be one of the persons connected with the taking of the horsos, he had iust robbed a mani while in Cecil, of his pocket book ; upon his person was found a rein supposed to have belonged to one of the bridles with which the horses had been taken. The bridle and saddle were found by the side of the road, the saddle minus its skirts and the bridleits rein. It is hoped that the above arrest will give a clue which will lead to the detection of the scoundrels and their speedy punishment. Mr. Kreider has since recovered his horses; he found them all in Kent county, Md., and it is stated that two of the thieves are now in prison. Accident.— A young lady by tbe name of Mary Phenegar, living near the Gap Mine Smelting Works, while returning home from Court,- Friday evening, left the cars at Kinzer’s Station to proceed home ward in a carriage. Miss Fhenegar occu-! pied the front seat of the vehicle; two lady friends being on the back seat. They had proceeded bnt a short distance from the station, when for some reason the coupling pole of the carriage became loosened, and the front and hind wheels of the vehicle parted. The horses ran off with the front wheels, and the front part of the carriage fell to the ground. The ladles in the car riage were all thrown out, those on the back seat falling upon Miss Phenegar who was picked up insensible and curled into a house near at hand. Mira p. remained in sensible for several hours but recovered sufficiently to be taken home the next day. Miss Phenegar’s injuries although painful are nqf of a serious character and she is now rapidly recovering from their effects; fortunately she had no bones fractured by the fell* Knapp’s Stable Bubnt— Three valuable horses and a cow perish in the fire,— On Sat urday evening about half-past 8 o’clock the stable of Mr. Lawrence Knapp located on the alley back of his Lager Beer Saloon in East King street was discovered to be on fire. The fire was first seen by a little Bon of Mr. Knapp’s, who seeing the light and hearing the noise made by the horses and the oow, which were In the stable, immedi ately gave the alarm. Mr. Knapp ran to the door leading ont of the stable Into the yard on its south side next to his dwelling ; house; and opening the upper portion of : the stable door saw that all efforts to save the three horses and the cow which were in the building would be useless as they were already almost or quite suffocat ed by the dense smoke and intense beat of the burning hay and fodder by which they were surrounded. A small dog was also in the stable and was probably stiffed by the heat and smoke, when "Mr. Knapp opened the door, as it failed to make any response when called loudly by its name. Finding that nothing could be aaved in the stable Mr. Knapp turned his attention to rescuing five fine hogs which were in the hog-pen adjoining it; these animals were thus fortunately preserved from injury. The stable was by this time burning furiously, and owing to the inflamable character of Its contents, the flames ascend ed to a great height, and large flakes of the burning hay were carried by the wind unon the roofs ot the adjoining houses. The American,Union, Friendship, Washington, Sun, Humane, and Shiffler Fire Companies were by this time on the ground with their respective apparatus and—each taking close positions to tbe fire—they severally rendered most effective service In subduing the flames and in saving the surrounding buildings from destruction. The stable was an old building, formerly used as a dwell ing house, and was constructed of oak log 9 with a shingle roof; it was weatherboarded on the north and west sides and owing to the combustible nature of its contents and the muterial of which it was built it was al most entirely destroyed notwithstanding the large amount of water thrown upon it by tbe firemen. The adjoining brewery of Mr. Knapp sustained but little injury it being built of brick and having a Blate roof; a small wooden shed belonging to Mr. A Sprenger and situated near the stable was damaged to some extent by' tbe fire. Mr. Knapp had no insurance either upon the stable or its contents and estimates his loss at SISOO or $2OOO. The three splendid match black horses which were burned, Mr. Knapp values at $1200; as he would not have sold them for that amount; they will be well remembered by our citizens as constituting one of the finest teams in this city ; they all matched—were perfectly docile and would work either in single or double harness; they were used at Ex- President Buchanan’s funeral to draw the hearse and attracted much attention by their beauty on that occasion. Besides these horses a cow was burnt which Mr. Knapp estimated highly for her good quaii- ■ ties; also about 18 cwt., of hay, 50 bundles ■ of corn fodder, 10 bushels of corn, GO bush- : els of oats, 2 double set of harness and 3 single sets; one of the double set'of harness ■ hud but recently been purchased by Mr. \ Knapp for $lOO ; a hay cutting machine was also destroyed. The stable in itself is not considered to have been much of a loss as Mr. Knapp intended to pull it down the 1 ensuing Spring and build a inueh larger and better one in its place. j Tbe fire was undoubtedly the work of an incendiary. At 5 o'clock, Saturday after noon, Mr. Knapp’s driver, Christian Paul sen, left the stable alter first seeing that \ everything was all right; no one was near i the stable subsequent to that time, and Mr. « Paulsen Btates that no matches, pipe, or 1 segar were used by him about the premises. ] The incendiary doubtless approached the stable from the alley and set fire to some 1 loose hay placed in the entry near the door; ' this also accounts why the lire was so great 1 in that vicinity, it having obtained greater . headway there than elsewhere—thus pre- i venting the re.-eue of the horses through i the door. \ ' Mr. lvnapp thinks that the incendiary intended to lake advantage of his absence from home to lire the stable, as he had gone to Carlisle on some business and unexpect edly returned, Saturday evening at six o’clock. 1 1 will be seen by an advertisement in another column that Mr. Knapp oilers a reward of $lOO for the arrest and conviction of the miscreant who set fire to the stable.

Examination and Exhibition.—Our correspondent “ Veritas ” in Drumore twp., writes to ua as follows : An examination of the students of Chest nut Level. Academy, a Bcbool for both sexes, Mr. R. S. Maxwell Principal) took place on Wednesday, January 20th, and every person present was highly pleased with the very creditable manner in which those ex amined acquitted themselves. The exam ination was most criticaL and exhibited a thoroughness in the different branches as far as gone over never before witnessed on any similar occasion In this place. An exhibition, the concluding exercise of the session, and under the direction of the Principal was held in the Academy Hall, on Thursday evening, January 21; the ex ercises consisted of dialogues and declama tions, interspersed with a high order of music—both vocal and instrumental. Jhe hall was literally packed full, not |Bre than two-tbirds oi the number pres ent being able to force an entrance with the aid of those behind them, and notwithstand ing the noise and confusion necessarily consequent upon so large an assemblage of persons, end which was well calculated to embarrass and confuse the performers, the exhibition was a complete success. Mr. Maxwell evidently aims at thoroughness in everything, and as a first-class teacher, we would bespeak for him a continuance of the yery large patronage he has been re ceiving. Rothsville Lyceum.—The Rothsville Lyceum held its regular meeting last Fri day night. The ex-President Mr. C. S. Brown delivered an ex-augural.

Last week a vessel from Bt. Domingo unloaded In New York over four hundred tons of St. Croix Rum for P. H. Drake & Co., of that city. This Is but a few weeks’ supply of this article, whloh these gentlemen use in the manutactureof the celebrated Plantation Bitters. We are In formed by an exchange that Messrs.

In 1804, the receipts of the Plantation Bitters were equal to those of tne New York <x New Haven Railroad.

It is the simplest at well at the inotL cunning There is genius ami hiyn MlttfW ntail ability ta its arrangement, and therefore it is most reliable anTt easy to keep in order. There is a directness of connection be tween the powerand the result, never found by me in the devices of anylothcr 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 just *Jo denominate one of the marvels of the age. D. D . STOOPS deposed: I have visited all the 2>rincipal sewing machine manufactories, and have had the best facilities for finding out not onlj what was best, but why it was best. The Wheeler tk Wilson 'Js the simplest in parts, the most direct, quiet and rapid m action of any two-thread ma chine. Other machines cannot keep.up with it. I now sell all kinils, and sell ten of these to one of any other. Others come back for exchange ,i with \ many murmurs and cumplaints ;\these nrvtr. Once sold, they arc gone, uml us an article of merchandise th r )t are always saleable. The above testimony accords with that of .100,000 families who are now using these un rivalled machines.
