Semite, yesterday, the report | oftho committee of conference on tho naval ! appropriation bill wiw concurred in. The I Finance Committee reported with slight ! amendments tho House bill to strengthen , the public credit. It will bo called up to- | .day. The resolution to puy .Senators from 1 tlio .reconstructed States from the com mencement of tho Fortieth Congress, was discussed until tho expiration of the morn ing hour, when H was laid aside. On no- count of Hut want of time, several commit tees wero discharged from tho further con sideration of a largo number of bills and resolutions. The roport of tin* committe of ooulerenee, on tho Constitutional Amendment, being tho special order for two o’clock, then eurno up, and the teporl was read as follow : Tho right df citizens of the United States lo voto shall not be denied or abridged by tho United States or by any State, on ac count of race, color or previous condition of servitude. Mr. Pumeroj' reviowed the notion of the llouso uml S9nato on tiiu pondin' amend ments, up lo this time, and said that the committee of conference had exceeded their powers and violated parliamentary law by tampering wifli the text of tho bill, as agreed upon at ditjerent times by both Houses. Mr. Howard regarded tho amendment, in the form agreed upon by the committee •of conference, as inadequate to the demands ■of the occasion, and likely, if adopted, to lead to difficulty in the future. Mr. Edmunds said that the committee of conference had struck out of the very life of tho text, and by striking out one-half of an indivisible truth had made tho remaining half, in reality, a falsehood. From the amendment agreed upon by tho committee, it would seem that Congress was so eager to do something, by way of amending the Constitution, that they forgot that it made auy difference what they did. Air. Pomeroy said that as soon as he could get liio tloor, lie would move to disa gree to tho report of tho committee ami ask for jA further conference. M|r. Wilson would favor that proposition if it would secure a Detier amendment, but it vhis not safe to run much risk at this late time. Mr. Pomeroy moved to disagree, and ask for a future conference. Mr. Stewart raised the point of order that the question of concurring had precedence. Mr. Morton said the Committee on Con ference hud exceeded theirpowers by strik ing out a vital portion of the text, which had already been agreed to. ' Mr. Frelinghuyseu: There will bo no chance for the amendment in tno next Con gress, because tiiere will not be a two-third voW in favor of it in thu other House. .Mr, Stewart: Yes ; it' wil. have no chance at the next session, because we will not have two-thirds in the House. The legislatures are now in session, waiting and ready to act upon the amendment. If we act upon it now, it can be ratified, but if we disagree anil ask for another conference, all is lost. Mr. Sawyer: I ask the Senator from Nevada what effect he thinks the adoption of this bill will have in Georgia. Mr. Stewart: It will place iu the bauds of the black men of Georgia a rod of power before which all politicians will quail, and so will protect him until some further ac tion‘can bo had here to stay the band of the oppressive rebels there. Mr. Frelinghuysen said that ho had since ascertained that tho Republican party would have u clear two-thirds working ma jority in the next Ilonso, and therefore he withdrew his reuson. Mr. Hendricks said that the withdrawal of the statement of facts could not hide or excuse the bad principle implied in the reason given by tho Senator from Now Jer sey for immediate action upon the ponding proposition. If the first statement of thui Senator had been true, it would be au ex cellent reason why tho amendment should bo delayed until it could be passed upon by the last selected Representatives ofthe peo ple, The theory of the Government was ilmt the will of the people should govern, but tho desire of the inujority now seemed to bo to take the {[people at a disadvantage and force tho amendment upon them before their voice could be heard. Tho whole tenor ofthe debate on tho Republican side seemed to bo, “we have started In this bnsiuess, and we must huvo something, no mutter whether our judgments approve it or not ” Au extraordinary spirit in which toconsid er so grave a matter as a Constitutional Amendment hanging on the form of our Government. Ilia colleague had expressed his willingness to take half a loaf if he could not get a whole one, but it was tho people of indianu, and not his colleague, who would have to oat the broad. He (Hen drioks) had no intention to set up his own will in this matter, but merely desired to represent the will of tho people of his State. Evening Session.— I The President appoint ed, as a new com mlttee of conference on the Consular and Diplomatic appropriation bill, Messrs. Sumner, Frelinghuysen and Whyte. On motiou of Mr. Stewart, the Senate then resumed the consideration of the Con stitutional amendment. Mr. Pomeroy raised the point of order that the committee of conference bad ex ceeded their powers, in that having been appointed to confer upon the disagreeing .votes of the two houses, they had made a report striking out.the words, “to hold of fioe,”'in regard to which there was no dls . agreement.. Mr. Drake fiercely inquired of the Sena or from Kansas whether he meant to im THE LANCASTER WEEKLY WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, 1869 pale the rights of a, man upon a point of order. Mr. Pomeroy said he felt bound to raise a of order, but It would not cause any delay, aa it mustbe decided without debate. The President overruled the polpt of order. Mr. Buokalew addressed tho Senate in opposition to the amendment. He behoved that the change it proposed to make in the Constitution was revolutionary, and there fore beyond anything authorized by tho amending provision, of the Constitution, becauso no State could ever havo intended to give even to tbree-foartbsof its co States the rlgbt to revolutionize Its local constitu tion and government, Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, urged the Sen ate to vote without farther consumption of time. Mr. Anthony said he would vote to agree to the report of tho conference committee, because he thought it presented the amend ment In the form in which it would meet with the least opposition, and also becauso he feared that further delay would defeat tbe amendment altogether. The Senate then agreed to the report of tho Committee of Conference, 39 to 13. The President announced that two-tbirds of tbo Senators present having voted In tbo affirmative tbe joint resolution bad passed. Mr, Davis raised a point of order that tho Constitution expressly required that for tbo passage of of proposition jo amend the Con stitution a vote of two-thirds of the Senato and not merely of two-thirds of tbo Sena tors presont, and that, there being now thirty-four States in tho Union, tbe Senate properly consisted of sixty-eight members, so that a two-third veto would be forty-five. Mr. Davis went on to explain and elaborate his point of order. ThoPresidentdeclded thut as this amend ment had been passed in the same "way as the preceding amendment, Mr. Davis’ point ' of order was not well taken. ; The Senato then, at 10;20, adjourned. j Tho House mol ut 11 o’clock, and soon 1 after went into Committee of the Whole on I I the deficiency appropriation bill. During I I its consideration, a motion, by Mr. Chun- | [ Jer to amend by striking out an item of l $150,000 lor the purchase of horses tor the ' army, brought Mr. Mullins to the floor, who, as usual, creatod a great deul of amusement and confusion by his backwoods oratory; tho amendment was rejected When the Item was reached making an appropriation for tho salary of Mr. Harvey, Minister to Portugal, for the two years that . it wns withheld on account ofhis differences . with Congress, Mr. Spalding urged that it be paid, declaring that, as he (Mr. Spald- i Ing) was instrumental in stopping Mr. I Harvey’s salary, ho now wished to repair the wrong done to this man. Messrs. May nard, Farnsworth and l’uine opposed tho appropriations. Finally the items was struck out. Pending the final vote on the amendments, the House took a recess. ! In the evening session the amendment to ! givo additional compensation to civil cm- I ployees ut Washington, was rejected. The I contract for printing the Congressional do- i bates was then taken up.

The following cases, not beforo reported, bs.ve been disposed of during the session of an adjourned term of Common Pleas Court, held by Judges liuyes and Libbart during the past week: Levi Zimmerman vs. Jobu S. Witmer. An action to recover damages for a slander uttered by defendant against plaintiff. The parties tiro residents of Karl township, and the slanderous words said by defendant were olfored in evidence by plaintiff, and after the plaintiff bad produced bis testi mony, examined his witnesses and closed the Court, on motion of defendant’s coun sel and after argument by counsol on both sides, ordered a non-suit. On motion of counsel for plaintiff the Court granted a rule to show cause why the non-suit should not bo stricken off; tho reasons why the non-suit should not be stricken off will cotno up for argument on the third Mon day of March. It. W. Nhenk and Hiesler for plaintiff; Ellmaker and S. 11. Reynolds for defendant. Levi Zimmerman vs. David Woaver and wile. Cause of action tho same as in the case just proceeding. Non-suit granted as above ; and reasons being filed by counsel for plaintiff to show cause why tho non-suit should not bo stricken off tho Court ap pointed the third Monday of March for urgument. R. W. Shenk and Hiesler for plaintiff; Ellmuker and S. 11. Reynolds for defendant. Georgo Grossmun vs. Bernard Byrn. This wasanactlon brought on a promissory note for sss, giveu in lbG7 by Bernard ct Francis Byrn to tho plaintiff, a horse dealer in this city, in payment for a grey mere purchased by Frauds Byrn, who Is sn.ee dead, for use in a threshing machine. The defendant proved by two witnesses that the horse was warranted sound with the ex ception of a lameness in one foot. But on tho duy of the purchuse, when tho animal hud been driven as fur as the Pequea Valley Inn, soven miles from the city, it was dis covered that sho was budly diseased with the heaves, an incurable disease. A number of Mr. Byrn’s neighbors testified that the maro was absolutely worthless on this ac count, and that they would not have her as a gift. It was shown that the defendant culled upon tho plaintiff a month after the purchase and complained that tho animal was not as sho was represented to bo when sold, and tho plaintiff told him to bring her back and he would give him auother horse in place ofit; but the defendant alleges that he did not want to trade horses, but that he wanted his note returned and the bargain annuled on account of the breach of war ranty. The plaintiff produced the man who had sold the mare to him and who was also present at the sale to Byrn; he testified that there was no warranty made to Byrn, and admitted that the mare had the heaves slightly, but said that it was perceptible at the time, although tho disease was not pointed out nor was anything said about it The defendant claimed that the maro had been doctored so as not to show the disease when sold. Steiuman and Pyfer wero for the defendant, and Brenetnan and Rey nolds lur the plaintiff. The jury went out about four o’clock on Wednesday aiteruoon, remained out all night and about noon on Thursday returned a written verdict, finding “ thattho defendantshould pay the plaintiff the sum $45 and deliver said note to tho defendant. Plaintiff pays his own witness costs and the half ol the county costs. Defendant also pays his wit ness costd and the half of the county costs.” The defendant\counsel asked the Court tc> send the jury back to perfect their verdict, but the Court refused to do so, directing that tho portion of the verdict relating to costs should be striken off as surplusage. The same counsel then asked that tho jury bo polled, which also was refused and the verdict taken as directed, notwithstanding the protestations of some of the jurors that such was not their verdict. A motion was entered to striko off the verdict. V, T e un derstand the jury were kept out all night by one old gentleman who has u'horse diseased with the heaves, which he never theless deems of priceless value. There being no more .cases ready for trial, the jurors wero all discharged and tho Court adjourned. Interesting Annual Reports.— Through the kindness of Dr. John L. Atlee, Sr., of this city, we have received the an nual reports of the Board of Managers of the House of Refuge, and of tho Board of Directors of the Pennsylvania Institution for the Deaf and Dumb.

Of the inmates, 34 had lost both parents previous to their admission into the House; 53 their mothers ; 7G their fathers in ali,|lG3 had lost one or both parents by death. The average age of boys when admitted, 13 5-G years ; girls, 14$ years. Average number of inmates through the past year was 412 boys and 89 girls; in all, 501.

Mann, in Manor town ship, about 52 years ago. Recently the lo cust trees which have grown from the stump of the old tree have been cut down by Barnherd Mann, farmer, and made into posts and wood with the following result: Number of locust posts 859; number of cords of wood 10. These sprouts or trees from the old stump grew over a space of ground in dimension 77 feet one way, and 67 feet another. This was a.Democratic tree, and grew on the Demo cratic farm, and we do not believe that there is or was another treo in this county to equal it. Appointments.—Among the appoint ments made for the present year, by th© East Pennsylvania Annual Conference of the United Brethren in Christ, which re cently met in Mount Joy, are the following for this county: Columbia Station, W, S. H. Keys; Mount Joy Circuit, Joseph C. Mumma; MountviUe, A. H. Kauffman : New Holland, D. O. Ferrell. Wild Goose Shot.—a number of wild geese have recently been seen in the south ern and eastern portions of this county. Martin L. [Townsend shot one, on the 23d Inst., in Paradise township. It was one of a flock consisting of five geese. The goose weighed eight pounds and was an un usually fine one. Farmers regard the ap pearance of wild geese ns a sure indication of an early spring. Heetloff of the Lancaster County Agrt cultural society. This Association met yesterday afternoon at the Coart House; the newly elected President, Henry M. Engle, in the chair; Alexander Harris, Esq., Secretary, i Hr. Eagle, on taking the chair, made a few appropriate remarks, thanking the So* ciety fortho honor it had conferred upon [ him, of the necessity of its meetings being ■ conductedacoordlngto parliamentary rules, 1 and hoped that the Society would aid him in I properly discharging the duties of his office. He pah i that he had not been altogether un observant of the honor of his being elected chairman of the Society ; he waa one of the first who had moved in its organization, and hoped yet to see the association beoorne of great importance iu this county. He also said that he desired to see the county benefited by the establishment of the So ciety, and if his election as its President would aid in aDy way to effeot this his am bition was fully satisfied. , On motion John H. Brackblll, of Stras burg, and 8. J, Groff were elected members of the Society. Prof. S. S. Rathvou called the attention of the President to bis duty of appointing the Standing Committees under the rules of the Society, and on motion it waa ordered that the president appoint said committees and anuounoe them at tho next regular meeting of the Society. On motion Mr. J. F. Friauff was elected of the association. The readiug of Essays being in order, Prof. S. S. Ratbvon read an interesting essay on “ The Econo my of Birds—Agriculturally and llortl culturally considered.” Mr. Levi S. Reist next read on essay on ‘ The Water Streams In Lancaster county and the ellect of ruins la increasing or de creasing them.” Mr. Jacob Stouffer rend an essay on “Weeds—ihe St. John's Wort in partic ular.” Tbo essay road by Prof. Rathvou gave riseto quite an unimaled discussion respect ing the difficulty experienced by farmers iu preventing irresponsible and reckless per sons? from gunning on their farms, shooting useful insectiverous birds, andalsostealing fruit whenever the opportunity for doingso presented Itself. The subject under consid eration was debated with much spirit by Messrs. Rathvoo, L. S. Reist, Stoner, Jingle, J. B, Groff, A. Harris, Dr. P. W. lliostnud, and others. Mr. Geo. W. Shroyer gave the subject under consideration u tangible shape by presenting the following resolutions, which wero read and upon motion referred to a Committee, consisting of Messrs. Shroyer, Rathvun and H. K. Stoner, to report u*pon them at the next regular meeting of the Association: I Resolved. ThatthoSecretary beauthorized | to have the law in relation to the destruction 1 of birds printed in hand bill form for distri bution among the members of the Society. Resolved, That the Society offer a reward of in addition to the penalty imposed bylaw for the detection and couviction of every person guilty ,of destroying birds. Mr. Shroyer said that he had purposely left the'amouut of the reward blank in the above Resolutions so that the Society might insert what sum they might deem proper. On motion of Mr. Peter S. Reist it was suggested to the Publishing Committee of the Lancaster Farmer that they hereafter have that journal printed, bound, and ready for distribution not later thau the 25 th of each month. A letter was read by the Secretary from Mr. Josiah Hoopea, President of the Penn sylvania State Fruit Growers’ Society, stating that it bad-been resolved to hold the next annual meeting of that Association (to be held in February, IS7OJ, in Lancaster. A letter was also read from E. J. Ayres, Corresponding Secretary of the Villa Ridgo Horticultural Society of Pulaski county, Illinois, stating that the members of that society were engaged in making out a list of trees, shrubs, plants, ite., indigenous to that section of the country and also a list of the varieties of Fruits, Berries, Vines, and allother things pertaining to Horticulture which were possessed by them and that they would exchange said ‘list as soon as completed and printed foru similar list pre pared by the Laucaster'Couuty Agricul tural Society. / Au interesting communication, written by a gentleman iu Canada to u member of tho Society, respecting the improvement of wheat by hybridization, or the method of mixing twospecies of the plant to produce a third improved variety, was next read. 1 After hearing this letter—there being no other business to transact—the Society ad journed. We have noticed that the attendance of farmers and others interested in agriculture aud horticulture at tho meetings of the Lancaster County Agricultural Society has recently very much increased and that a much greater interest is manifested in the discussions of topics presented ior the con sideration of the members of tho Associa tion than formerly—in fact the Society is becoming widely known, and is now ex erting a vast deal of good by awakening an interest iu tho subject of the best methods of improving tho soil and of cultivating the best varieties of grain, grass aud fruit. In the language of oue of our best exchanges, in speukingof this very subject, “ All that is now needed to render tho succes of such a society a certainty is to bring within its folds, for united and vigorous action, all the wide-awake and livo businoss men in the county. Much has already beeu accom plished by this society, but much more re mains aud can bo effected by the combined action of every one interested iu tho im provement of our county. We therefore make an appeal to all who uro directly or indirectly interested in the industrial pur suits of our county to come forward and unite with this society. It would bo to tho advantage of the agriculture of the State that our farmers in every county should form societies, aud sustniu, by continuous and active interest in them, the improve ment of the lands and general culture in their different neighborhoods. Nothing can be so effective for the advancement of the material iuterests of a. people or section of country as systematic and minute alien tion to agriculture.” Another Wild Goose Shot.— We stated tho other day that Mr. M. L. Town send recently shot a wild goose in Paradise t N wp.; wo learn from the Express that Mr. Kreideralso recently shot on his father’s farm, near 11. K. Stoner’s Agricultural Im plement Manufactory, iu West Lampeter twp.,awild goose which weighed Si pounds. A. C. Herr purchased the bird for tho pur pose of havjng it prepared for preservation Sale of Stock.— George Peirce, Auc tioneer, sold on February 19th, at the late residence of Peter B.

Heavy Failure.— Samuel Ilesa, a lum ber merchant, of this city, who has a lurpe lumber yard at GraelFs landing on the Conestoga, failed on Wednesday. Mr. Hess’ liabilities are estimated at $125,000; we learn that $57,000 of this amount is in the shape of notes discounted at the various Banking Institutions of this city. These notes are endorsed in about equal propor tions by Mr. Hess’ father. Henry Hess, and by Christian Lintner, his father in law. These endorsers being men of ample means it is supposed that the banking institutions aro protected. The othor creditors will probably lose heavily. In connection with tho foregoing we re gret to announce the death of Henry Hess, father of the above Samuel Hess, who died suddenly, this morning, it is supposed from an attack of the appoplexy superinduced’by the excitement created by the nows of the above failure. Narrow Escape.— On Saturday, tho 20th, as Mr. Jacob Fraloich with his grand son, was driving along the Strasburg pike in a one-horae wagon loaded with coal, they mot with an accident which might have been a serious one. In attempting to pass another wagon near the bridge crossing the Pequea creek, at John Musselman’s mill, the horse—which was a blind one—went down over a stone wall nine or ten feet high- A small gutter which had beeu washed in the ground close to the wall, into which tho frout wheels of the wagon ran, prevented the wagon from going over. Mr. Fraleieb, who is an aged man and very feeble, fortu nately did not fall; but the boy fell head long over tho wall with the horße. Neither the boy nor the horse received any injury. Stolen Cows Recovered.—On the 31st of August last, a gentleman named Sam’l Stettle, of Conawago twp., York county, had two cows stolen. The other day a man named Henry Anderson was arrested in York, on the charge of larceny, and has since confessed to stealing the cows from Mr. Stettle, and that he brought them to Lancaster and sold them to two Gormans. Mr. Stettle came to this city, yesterday, and made a statement of the above facts beiore Alderman Wiley. The cows were subsequently found iu possession of two Germans named George Zeigler and Jacob Way, citizens of this place, who bad pur chased them from Anderson for $BO. The stolen cows were promptly returned to Mr. Stettle; the purchasers of them not having any idea that they were stolen when they purchased them.

New Public Road System in Fulton Towns hi i’. —A correspondent of the Oxford Rress writes to that paper the following uc couut of the working of tho new road sys tem of Fulton twp., this county, during tho past year: “One year ago the Stnte Legislature, nt the request of u large majority of our tax payers, passed a local act authorizing tho people of Fulton town at ip to elect an addi tional supervisor, and Roll out the sections at public sale to the lowest responsible bid der. Of tbe workings of thte system, with us, of mending uud keeping in repair our public highways we intend to speak in de tail. As no doubt it wilt interest hot only those immediately concerned, but may prove useful to others contemplating a change from tlio general law of the State in reference to the management of public roads. Iu the year ISO 7 we had about reached tho climax, (rhetorically speaking,) as regards bud roads. Our public higliwuys contained all the elements necessary to make travel ing uncomfortable, and it cost the taxpay ers of Fulton township during that year, and lor many previous ones, to oujoy this delightful statu of affairs a large sum of money. In tho year 1807 wo employed two supervisors, and our road tax wu.s $15,944. Now for the coutrust. Under tho present system we have the following as the result of one year’s work: Four now bridges erected; 40 culverts mado; 2,000 chestnut poles purchased and placed in position ; 100 index boards and poles placed at forks and cross-roads; extra pay and labor of supervisors: purohase of stumps, books and stationery ; and making a road tax for the year 18G8 to the amount of §3,532, or in other words, $412 loss than the year previous, under ‘‘the old” or gen eral system of mending roads in this Com monwealth. Next year our tax will be much less. With few oxce ptlons our roads are in prime order, and even at this season of tho your the change for the better is per ceptible to those who were familiar with our roads a year ugo. Last summer trav elers could pass from the M aryland line to tne borders of the adjoining township ou the north and not strike a stone. The same is ueurlj' correct in going cast or west. AU the sections taken by our citizens were re paired, well “rounded up” and mude to conform, as a general thing, to the condi tions of tho contract. But wo would not by any means havo it inferred that all our roads are now in good condition. Fur Iron: it. Wo have yet a few st ctions that are no credit to tho township. Last year labor was high, hands scarce and our su pervisors had not time to put ail the unsold sections in proper order. If, however, the sume energy is displayed this year that was lust, all our highways will be put o n a par footing in good season. Then it k to be hoped that deep, abrupt water crossings, oblique jolting crossways and gutter cou- Htructed aud permitted to remain under the old regime of road mending, will have passed away. At the time of tho movement in our n ildst for this change for the better there were those among us who predicted that U xes would be higher, roads be found, under the “new system,” in a worse condition than formerly, and the people ruined generally. If any of this party will now read our figure statement, it being official, we are of the opinion they will forever hold their peace. Bince tho meetiug of tho prosent session of tho Legislature, v/e notice that the (Htizens of other townships in Lancaster county, liavo petitioned to havo the pro visions' of our law extended to them.” Steam Canal Boats. —As many of the citizens of our County are interested in whatever increases the capacity of the Canal along the Susquehanna to transport our products to market, the following article on steam canal boats from tho Wrightaville 6 tar will be read with interest: A steam canal boat was last fall running on the Penua. Canal, and the experiment has proved a decided success. The boat is owned by James C. Craig, of Newton Haintltou, Mifllin county, and was built by the instructions of Thomas T. Wierman and A. J. Whitney, Chief Engineers of the Pa. Canal Co. Her dimensisns aro thesamoas an ordinary canal boat, being about eighty feet in length, with capacity for a cargo of 95 tons, and with motive power sufficient to tow unothercraft of onebundred and five tons, which will at all timesaccompauy her hereafter. Tho engine and propeller is of thirty horsepower, and has an uprightlevor so that the pilot can run tho boat to suit himself. The wheel is sixty inches in di ameter, and so placed ns Hot to revolve bo low tho bottom of tho boat and dig into the bed of the canal. The smoko stack is so arranged with hiuges as to bo easily lowered in passing under bridges. The fuel used is bituminous coal, she made time iu the Pa. Canal at the rate of three miles per hour, with a cargo of oue hundred and thirty-live thousand pounds of coal, and four milits per hour when empty, and ten miles pnr hour in the river, consuming one-half i.o threo-fourths of a ton of coal In eigbteo □ hours runuiDg. Sho was run by stealn from the 29th of July, IS6B, until the Ist nf December, ISfiS, from Huntingdon to Mi.'- lersburg and Wllkesbarre, aDd will here after run from Nowtou Hamilton to Phila delphia, Wilkesbarre and Ilolidaysburg. This is the sixth boat ol this class that has runou the Pennsylvania Canal. The third one, named “J. Edgar Thompson,” be longed toWm. MoConkey, Esq., of Wrights ville, and was built at Peach Bottom Large Public Sale. —Elias Fisher, near Gordonville, Leacock twp., tbfs county, sold, on the 25th inst., at public sale hfcs valuable team ofdraught horses for $1823.60. They sold as follows : No. 1 for $305: No. 2, $305; No. 3, $250; No. 4, $252.50; No. 5, $311; No. 0, $340, k One pair of mules were sold for $450: eight or ten head of other horses aDd colts wore also sold at prices which our correspondent could not ascer tain. The amount of the sale was about $5,700, and it is considered the largest that has been held In that section of the county during the present Beason. Mr. Fisher sold his farm, last fall, of 101 acres to Geo. Beilor for $200.0G per acre. The Wheat Prospect.— Every where the word is that the wheat, throughout our country, never looked better at this time of year. Travelling agents in all sections of the country concur in this pleasing report. It will be worth the consideration of every farmer who still holds his old crop, whether it is not advisable to dispose of it soon. Let such keep watch a few days longer, both of the prospect of the coming harvest and the tendency of the market. If he continue® to hear good reports, and discovers a down ward tendency of prices, he may safely conclude it wise to sell what he may have on hand. Lancaster Laoer Beer.—The Phila delphia Evening Herald says “ Southern Philadelphia can boost of an elegant estal>- lishment, equal to Tortoni’s, in Paris. It is a spacious, airy, beautiful and magnifi cent saloon kept'by Mr. Wm. Adams, cor ner of Fifth and Gaskill streets. The walls of the saloon are elaborately frescoed, and adorned with fine mirrors, gas fixtures, and chandeliers; Id short everything is on a scale of oriental grandeur. The Ameri can on Chestnut street, barely equals it. Our amazement was such, that we said to Mr. Adams, how becould, in such a locality, so far from the centre of business, be able to expend so much money in fixing up such a costly saloon. We then learned that it was all owing to Lancaster lager beer, which Mr. Adams was the first to introduce into the lower part of the city; and such has been the quality and reputation of this beer, that people come from all parts of the city to drink it. Such is the demand for it at present that the railroads can scarcely bring it down fast enough, and Mr. Adams contemplates, if his present custom con tinues to increase as it has done, at no dis tant day, to build a beer duct from Lan caster to his bar, and to be ablo to dispense it fresh from the vaults,’*.' 5 Grand and Petit Jurors. —The Grand i and Petit Jurors for tho Court of Quarter .
