Murderous Attack, oti it Pcncenble Knn
by u Hand of A iiu-Ulux.
f From tbo Nashville Banner, March il’.j
We learned yesterday of a piece of high
banded deviltry being perpetrated on night
before last, some thirteen miles from the
eity on the Lebanon pike. James Owen, an
industrious negro, rented last year a piece
of ground from Mr. Thomas Teanor, for
cultivation, and by dint of hard labor man
aged to accumulate the snug little sum of
§l,OOO. Some time since, Owen, who in the
meanwhile was being -looked upon by the
less fortunate of his color iu that neighbor
iiood in an envious light, was unceremo
niously ordered by a party of negroes
recently arrived from Mi.-sissippi, und
who were working one of the adjacent farms
on shares,to leave the neighborhood imme
diately or forfeit his lito as the result of dis
obedience. This peremptory order be re
fused to comply with, aud on night beforo
last the party, composed of Sam Patton,
Tom Gurney, and his two son 3, all colored,
armed to the teeth, visited Owen’s house,
and with loud oaths demanded admittance,
und that too iu the dpad hour of the night.
But Owen refused to open the door, where
upon they attempted to break it down, lie
then fired two shots at the assailants,
which caused them to leuve the front of
the house in hot haste. They then
went to the back of the cabin and
begun knocking the chinking out so as
to shoot him through tbo wall. At this
juncture he ran out Ht the door und attempt
ed to oscape. The infuriated besiegers pur
sued him with demoniacal yells and tired
several shots at him, ouo of which took ef
fect in tbe back of his head, but ho contin
ued to run until he fortunately escaped.
He came to Nashville and swore out a war
rant against the perpetrators on yesterday..
He also called ou General Cooper, in com
pany with his counsel, and asked that a
detachment of militia be sent out to uid the
civil officers In arresting the offenders.
General Cooper consented, and the sqnail
will leave the city this morning. Thus we
see that Ku-Kluxism is not confined en
tirely to the so-called “ disloyal.” /

“ That is my name, air.”
“ I am Mr. , member ofCongress from
, 1 have read your letters. Mr. ,
the editor of our paper, told me to look you
up.”
“I am glad to know you, sir. Take a
seat. What can Ido for you ?”
“ I want some passes,” he said earnestly,
seating himself.
“What sort of passes?”
“ Railroad.”
“ 1 fear I cannot help you in that way,
Mr. . I had a pass for myself and fam
ily from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
but because, in return for the compliment,
I said the President had a locomotive in his
belly, lam cut off. But why do you want
passes ? Are you preparing to runaway?” •
“I wish I could,” he answered sadly. “I
wish I could. No, that is not it. lam run
down by office-seekers from my district. —
Tb*y pile in on me at my boarding house.
I have been sleeping every night on my
bedroom floor. They follow me about and
chase me down. They have smoked all my
cigars and drank up all my whiskey, and
now they are getting out of money and
want to borrow. I heard where to find
you; I made an excuse to go into an alley,
and I ran away. A police officer thought
I was a thief, aDd ran after me. I told him
I was a member ofCongress, running from
the office-seekers. He said that was rough,
and let mo go. There is one—a woman
worse than all the rest. She wants the best
post-office I have. What in the infernal
jinks does Grant mean by setting such an
example? All the females in my district
are writing to me, and two hundred will be
here, somehow, if we don’t repeal this fool
ish law and fill the offices, This woman
torments my life out; and yet, if I give her
the office, I'won’t dare go home. She tol
lers me' up like Satan. I can’t sleep, I
can’t put on a clean shirt, she pops in on
me so unexpected. Now, if I had a railroad
pass.”
“How would that help you?”
"I believe, if I could say to her, I can’t
give you an office, but here is a railroad
pass, she’d take it and go. But, Lord love
you, I want a hundred. They’re getting
out of money, I tell you, and if I only had
’em, Now, can you help me ? You news
paper men always bave'lots of passes. The
editor in our town hasn’t paid railroad fare
for more’n twenty years.
I had to assure my poor friend that I re
ally could not help him. I suggested to
him to get a sign painted, “Small-pox in
this House,” and put it up over his door.
“Pooh,” he cried, .“do you suppose they’d
care for that? Every bloody one of’em
would get vaccinated, and work In on me.
Cholera would not keep ’em offi I wish I’d
been sunk in eternal thunder beiore I con
sented to come to Congress. Consented?
I worked like a mule for it. It cost me all
of $BO0 —more fool I. What can I do? My
neighbors -and constituents wanted a na
tional dog law, for the better protection of
sheep, and to raise the price of wool. Why,
it wonld take a fellow two years to learn
the rules, and then I don’t think I could do
a hooter. But cuss these office-seekers.”
“ You are safe on the floor, however.”
“Devil a bit. They get around the doors
and send in their names. They run up in
the gallery to gee if I’m there, and then
down they oome. .1 hid.ln the barber shops
every day for a week, before they fonnd me
ont. And then Littiebang, who wanto to be'
minister to Earope, wrote borne to the*
paper and said I had been made chairman
or the standing committee on hair.”
How long my friend would have non
tinned bis lamentations I cannot say, but
be was interrupted by an arrival of sixteen
of his friends, and left very dejected. D. F.

Improvement.—' The present Spring has
evinced that the disposition to build and
improve has not by any means ceased to
exist umoDg some of thecilizens ol plodding
old Lancaster. The noise of the hammer is
now heard all day long in our principal
streets, and tho demand for houses and for
handsome store fronts has given rise to a
gratifying spirit of improvement on the pai t.
of real estate owners. Our Lancaster me
chanics have in many instances acquired a
fine reputation for tbo superiority of their
work, and consequently aro constantly in
receipt of orders for new supplies of their
manufactures. Lancaster, situated in the
midst of oue of the most fertile counties of
the United States aod convenientto all that
can promote the growth of a city, would, if
sufficient enterprise were manifested by her
citizens, soon attain a prominent position
among tho enterprislog, growing aDd
wealthy manufacturing cities of our State
aud nation.
The Fire.—A lire broke out on Wed
nesday about 4 o’clock, in ihe roof ofthe
double frame building in East Chestnut
street, a short distance east of tbe Penn’a
Depot, this city, belonging to Mr. John
Best, of this place, and Mr. Benj. G. Getz,
of Mountville, this county. The western
portion of the building was occupied by
Mr. Frank J, Steinhauser, aod the eastern
portion by a widow lady named Mrs. Al
bright. The part of the building where the
fire originated was that in the occupancy of
Mr. Steinhaaser, who was so nnwell that,
when the fireoccnrred, he had to be assisted
from the house. Tne firemen were prompt
ly on hand with their engines aud soon
checked the further progress of iho liauies,
whietv4bx a time threatened to destroy not
only the dwelling house but also the large
frame foundry located west of and sepa
rated from it by an alley. The damage
done lo tlie furniture of Mr. Steinhauser by
wuter is estimated at about $360; thu furni
lure of Mrs. Albright was not nearly so
.much injured. The Joss of Messrs. Best and
Getz is about $6OO, as they had recently
goue to considerable expense in repairing
and repainting the building—all of which
work will be necessary to be done over
again. Their loss is covered by an insur
ance of $l,OOO in the Lycoming Fire Insur
ance Company. Tbe origin of the fire is
accounted for in difi'erent ways—some sup
pose it to have occurred from a defective
flue, others that it was caused by a spark
from the chimney or one from a locomotive
on tbe Pennsylvania Railroad, wuieh passes
near the building. The building bad a
shingle roof.
The House in Middle Street.— We
notice that Dr. Benjamin MUhler is push
ing with commendable energy the construc
tion of the house to be built in thirty hours,
adjoining the Lion Brewery, iu Middle
street, tLis city. The contractors haye a
lurge force of hands at work and tbe build
ing, 18 by 40 feet in size, was at noon to-day
constructed up to tho second story. The.
carpenters have laid tho floors on the lirst
ami second stories and have erected astair
way. Thu plasterers are now at work in
thu first Btory, ami the painters uroalso en
gaged in painting the outside of tho build
ing. I>r. Misbler will make good bis word
—lie knows no such word as fail. A large
crowd of interested spectators were wit
nessing the progress of the work at tiio
building to-day.
Death of an Old and Esteemed Citi
zen.—Mr. l’eter Long died at his residence
in this city, on Wednesday last, in the 82nd
year of his age. Tho deceased was a well
known merchant, having carried ou busi
ness near the same location in North Queen
street, since the year 1804, and until within
the past few months he might have been
seen in this store almost daily, though not
actively engaged in business. The deceased
was never married. Few men live to such
au advanced age, and still fewer continue
steadfastly engaged in business for such a
period of time. He was an elder brother
of II( n. Henry G. Long, and leaves behind
him a large circle of relatives and friends
to mourn his loss.
Hydroi’Houia— A Mad Dog at Large
in Our City.- -Tlie dreadful disease of hy
drophobia which has been prevailing to an
alarming extent in many portions of our
country lias at length made its appear
ance in Lancaster. The disease is not j
only propagated by tho dog, but also by :
other auimals that may be bitten, and in !
this way its ruvuges are widely spread ,
and iuvulveeveu man himself iu ,
and death. It appears that one of itie j
many worthless curs that infest our city,
exhibited on Sunday morning very decided
symptoms of hydrophobia, and running
through our most public streets succeeded
in biting at least eighteen or twenty dogs.
Competent judges state that the conduct of
the dog unmistakably indicated that he was
suffering from an attack of hydrophobia,
aud it therefore necessarily follows that
each of tho curs bitten by him are now
more dangerous to the community than so
many rattle-snakes. We hope that all
the dogs suspected to have been bitten will
at once be dispatched by their owners—
the public cannot afford to run any
risks in so serious a matter. The surest
way to prevent a dog from going mad is to -
kill him. Gon. F:sher, Mr B. F. Cox and
Mr. J. B. Btrine, by promptly shooting
their dogs, are entitled to the thanks of our
citizens, and it is hoped that others whose
dogs were bitten will immediately do like
wise. The route pursued by the rabid ani
mal was from Centre Square up East King
street to Duke, down Duke to Church
street, and out the latter street. All tbe
owners of dogs along this route, unless they
are Rure of the contrary, do not know
whether their dogs were bitten or not; the
period that usually elapses between the re
ception ofthe injury and the outbreak of
the diseaso varies exceedingly, in some
cases the malady does not manifest itsell
until tbe 30th day after the bite is inflicted.
All dogs along the said route should there
fore at once be fastened or secured ro as to
prevent valuable lives from being imperilled
or lost. J
It will seen in another column that the
Mayor has issued a proclamation directing
that from and after to day, the 13tb, and
for thirty days thereafter all owners of
dogs within the city limits are enjoined
to have them properly muzzled or confined
in some secure place, and the police officers
have been instructed to be vigilant iu the
enforcement of the laws od this subject; it
is to be hoped that such will be the case and
that every dog found running at largo un
muzzled will be immediately shot. The
policemen of the different wards should be
active iu enforcing this law, for by so doing
they will secure the commendation of all
good citizens. If they fail to perform
theirduty in this matter they will lie held
responsible.
Spoon Thief. —A fellow whose name is
said to be Sunnings, and whose father is
said to be a miller at Kauffman’s mil), on
the Harrisburg turnpike, stopped last eve
ning at John Sides’ Hotel, at the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Depot, and asked for some
thing to eat. After Sunnings had satisfied
his appetite he proceeded to pocket two solid
silver spoons which were m two mustard
bottles, and concealing them in the lining
of his coat, was proceeding to make i\
hasty exit from the premises. Beforo ho
left, however, the spoons were found to be
missing, and a search of Sunnings being
instituted, they were found in his posses
sion. The prisoner was then locked up in
a room ana a policeman sent for to arrest
him; but when tbe policeman arrived it
was found that Sunnings had escaped out
of a window and since then has not been
seen or heard from. If we were not posi
tively informed that tbe thief was Sunnings
we would infer that Beast Butler, the prince
of spoon thieves, bad stopped in our city on
his way to Yankeedom Irom Washington,
as Congress has recently adjourned.
Analysis of tiik Bible.—The following

Some Chestnut Tree.—C. Waltz, a short
time since, cat down a chestnut tree on the
farm of C. S. Shuman, in Manor township,
which takes down anything of the kind we
have yet heard of. It was a little over seven
feet across the stump, and made ten cords
of wood, ninety very large posts and three
wagon loads of chips. It is said that the
tree was about one hundred and fifty years
old. Mr. Shuman has two similar trees, one
of them he thinks is a little larger than the
one above described.—CbZumfaa Spy,
Notwithstanding the occasional cool
blasts, the bads are beginning to swell, and
the trees will in a short time be covered
with leaves; tbe genial weather of Spring
cannot now be much longer deferred.
College Movements.—ln common with
our citizens generally we have always taken
ajostprlde In tbe fact that we have, an in
stitution,- a college, located in our city, that
professes to give tbe highest gradei of intel
lectual training; and culture. Recently it
hasrshown new signs of vigor and vitality.
It to engaged at present in a movement to
enlarge its operations and to gain a more
commanding position among similar insti
tutions in, the country. This to right, and
every true Lancasterian will rejoice in see
ing it eject' new buildings, enlarge its fac
ulty, and gather around it as general and
as widespread interest as possible. Among
other signs of progress, we observe with
pleasure tbe vigorous steps which are taken
to build up in connection with the college,
an Academy or Gy moatlum of a high order.
Hitherto there has always been a Prepara
tory Department, designed principally to
prepare young men for tbo college; now it
is Intended, without losing sight of this
object, to enlarge its character and to give
young persons all tbefadlities in intellectual
training, which they need, whether they
inteud to prepare for college or business.
Hitherto the school has been under the care
of Prof. F A. Gast. Hereafter it will have
two Principals, Mr. GaSt and Mr. U. S.
Gerhard. The latter gentleman, who has
just been added to tbe teaching force of tbe
institution, graduated at this place several
years ago, and received the highest honors
of bis oiass. He is a ripe scholar, a good
discipiinariun, aod a Chrisliau gentleman.
Profs. fcJtahr and Wolff of the college will
assist, as they have done hitherto, in the
management of the school. Iq order to
make it more accessible to tbe youth of our
community, it has been removed from tbe
college building to a central part of the city,
in King street, as will be seen in the udver
tisement in our paper. At no distant day
it is expected that suitable buildings will be
erected for its accommodation in some con
venient part of the city limits. We direct
the attention of our citizuDS to this new
enterprize, especially as it aims to be im
mediately useful to our owu community.

Interesting Ceremony.— A moat inter
esting ceremony took place at the SL
Joseph’s Catholic Church this city on Sun
day afternoou. The religious exercises were
opened by the singing ot the beuutilul hymn
entitled ** Pern Creator'' in excellent style
by tbe fine choir of singers belonging to the
church. After the singing of the above
hymn tho rite of confirmation was admin
istered to over 200 persons by tbe Rt. Rev.
Bishop Shanahan, of Harrisburg. The
Very Revereud Father Keenuu. of St.
Mary’s Church was present and assisted at
tbe ceremony! Notwithstanding Father
Keenan’s many years he yet retains a great
deal of vigor aud vitality and by his earnest
and unremitting zeal in the cause of the
Church still renders her efficient service.
Fathers Peeper, of Columbia, and Neu
feld, of tit. Joseph’s Church, also were
present and assisted in thu exercises.
After the rite of confirmation had

a very eloquent and impressive sermon
suitable to the occasion, which was lis
tened to with marked attention by ihe large
number of persons present. Tbe benedic
tion was given after the conclusion of the
sermon by the Bishop, assisted by all the
Clergy present. Thu children who were
confirmed on Sunday have beeu for some
time under tho instruction of the Sisters ol
Charity connected with the Church, and on
this occasion they proceeded up the aislo of
the Church in procession, presenting a very
attractive and beautiful appearance. Mr.
11. A. Docker presided at iho organ with
his usual skill and ability.

the size of the one and two cent coppers
now in use, and will weigh respectively

Masonic.—The fiftieth anniversary of
St. John’s Commandery of Knights Tem
plars to be celebrated in Philadelphia on

most memorable events,in the history ot the

mandery on Broad street, an oration and a
banquet in the afternoon, and a ball in tho

Packard’s Monthly.—Tho April num
ber of this Magazine has been received, and
every article read with interest—a compli
ment not often paid periodicals by news
paper men, whose lime is generally too
fully engrossed by their occupation to per
mit the careful reading of ail the matter
contained in any one of the different Maga
zines sent them. Among the writers for
Packard’s Monthly are Lewis Gaylord
Clark, Horace Greeley, Junius Henry
Browne, and Oliver Dyer. Packard's
Monthly certainly is what it claims to be—
“ the young men’s magazine;” all young
men should subscribe for it, they cannot
obtain, for one dollar a year, so much in
structive and entertaining reading matter
in any other way. Address S. S. Packard,
PabLisher, 947 Broadway, New York.
Reading & Columbia R. R,—Reduc
tion in Fare to Lancaster.—From Wed
nesday, the 7th inst., the Reading c, Esq. —Wo were betrayed
into an error by some of tlie morning pa
p>*rs, in stating that tlie venerable Herman
(,’opu was a brother of Thomas P. Cope.
Caleb Cope, the older, wus Burgess of
Lancaster, Pa., under tho Britisii Govern
ment, immediately prior to the Revolution.
Heliad five sons: John, William, Thomas
P., Israel and Jasper, ami, ulso, two daugh
ters. Mr. Herman Cope, just deceased, was
a son of John Cope, tho oldest of the broth
ers, aud, consequently, a nophow of Thomas
P. Cope. Our respected fellow.townsman,
Caleb Cope, Esq., is a son of the second
brother, William.
There is an interesting historical reminis
cence connected with the Cope family, in
Lancaster, which is worthy ot note. Major
Andre was captured by General Montgom
ery, in Upper Canada, while on his way to
Quebec, November 3, 1775, aud taken, with
other officers, to Laucaster, where he be
came an inmate of Caleb Cope’s house.
There, the eldest brother, John, tbeu 13
years of age, received lessons in drawing
from Major Andre, and the three brothers,
John, William and Thomas had, in after
life, vivid recollectious of their games of
marbles aud other juvenile sports with tbo
lively young English officer, who was des
tined to figure so terribly iu tho after his
tory of this country.
Died. —Dr. J. 11. Kurtz died on tho 3rd
inst. at Philadelphia. The decoused was
in the 02d year of his age. Dr. Kurtz was a
uativo of Lancaster county, where he prac
ticed medicine for many years. He was
elected to aud filled tbe office of ProLhono
tary of the County for one term. He served
as assistant surgeon in the U.S. army, dur
ing puit of the late war. At the timu ofhis
death hu was engaged in compounding tho
celebrated “National Bitters.”
House Broken Into. —Tbe dwelling
house of Benj. M. Barr, near Wiimer’s
bridge, in Ea9t Lampeter twp., was forcibly
entered on last Sunday forenoon, by some
persona who passed through the cellar and
kitchen without taking anything. The
family were at church in this city, at the
time their bouse was so unceremoniously
visited. A bar which was locked across the
cellar door was pried off, and the door of
the kitchen was found standing open when
the family returned home. — Express,
Quercitron Bark.— This article of
commerce is the bark ofthecommon black
oak grnuud ready for shipment. It is ex
tensively used for dying calicoes nt the
print works. The very large hogsheads
sometimes seen loaded on freight cars on
our railroads are filled with this bark. A
large black oak tree will yield about §7
worth of bark —its present price at the mills
being $lO per cord. Farmers having black
oak timber to cut should by ail means cut
it when the bark can bo obtained, as the
body of the tree can also be cut into cooper
stuff—tho bolts of which are now worth $l3
per cord. —Oxford Press.
More Horse Stealing.—George S.
Lamborn, living in Martic township, had a
valuable bay mare and a rockaway stolen
from liis premises on Monday night last.
One of Ills neighbors, Mr. Christian Kryder,
bad a bay mure taken the same night.
Both ihe animals and tho carriuge wore
evidently taken by the same party, they
had visited the premises of Mr. Barclay
Simpson, whose farm lies between that of
Lamborn and Kryder, earlier in the night,
but were frightened away by the appear
ance of Mr. Simpson and his hands, who
heard them conversing in a low tone near
the house. The party were seen a short
distance from the place where tho horses
were taken atjout 2 o’clock at night, two
men were in the rockaway and one on
horseback. They were tracked a short dis
tance in the morning, but in consequence
of there being a good deal of traveling on
the road, all traces of them soon disappear
ed. The thieves were going in a southerly
direction aud are supposed to have como
from the eastern shore of Maryland.
Accidents.—The Manheim Sentinel says
that Mr. Michael Hummer, Sr., of Peun
township, on his return home from that
place on Saturday evening last, while iu
the act of getting off the wagon, fell and
dislocated his lelt shoulder.
On Tuesday last, a lad aged about 14
years, son of Mr. Henry Neff, of Penn
township, was tramped on by a horse, and
severely hurt internally.
Large Egg.-Mr. C. S. Shaman, of Manor
township, left at the office of the Columbia
Spy a Jew days since, a ben egg which
measured six inches and seven-eighths in
circumference.
At Paris.—We notice among the list of
names o£ Americana registered at the Bank
ing of Drexel, Harjes A Co., Paris,
France, that of Mr. E. S. Norris, formerly of
this city. '
Sudden Death.—Mr. Peter Reideu
baugh, of Earl township, this country, came
to this city on Thursday last, apparently in
good health. In the afternoon he took sick
and was a corpse on Friday afternoon at 2
o’clock. He was an old citizen and much
respected by his friends and acquaintances.
Hung Himself.—The Manheim Sentinel
states that Samuel Stover, an eccentric old
man, residing near Old Lino, Rupho town
»hip, hung himself in the attic of hla dwell
ing, on the 6th inst. Ho was about 50
years of age.
Haines a Bbo’s. Pianos.—A monument o {
Plano Boxes, marked Haines A 8r0.,1n fronlof
Woodward’s Muslc.Kooms lu East King street,
attracted our attention the other day os we
were walking by, and we{dropped In to take>
look at the celebrated Instruments. Wofonnd
tho Warerooms crowded with elegant Pianos
and MelodeoDS nnd we spent a very pleasant
halt-hour in listening to the sweet and power
ful strains of mua'c drawn from tho Instru
ments. We expressed our surprise to Mr. W.
that he found it profitable to keep on hand so
large a stock, but he s».sured us thp.l the repu-
I at lon of the Haines A Bro. Plano was so great
that they were very rapidly sold,and that he
has .found It necessary to secure still larger
