[For the Intelligencer, f
Cambridge, Pa., AprilSl, 1869.
Messrs. Editors : Knowing your paper
to have a wide circulation, I take pleasure
in informing the public through your col
umns, that literary interest is active, and
that the people oi this neighborhood are
awake to the importance of education and
rejoice iu the progress of science.
Wednesday and Thursday evenings, the
1-lth and 15th inst., were seasons of un
snal interest to the citizens of Cambridge
and vicinity. The main street was alive
with the young, the middle-aged and the
old, while the air was vocal with the sound
of merry voices. Ladies attired in gor
geous beauty and gentlemen with beuvy
moustuches and side whiskers, all moving
in one huge crowd to the Methodist Epis
copal Church of Cambridge, where was be
ing held a public school exhibition, formed
a Beene of excitement.
Under the wise and praiseworthy super
intendence of Mr. Wm. Irwin, the teacher,
the exhibition was made one of the greatest
entertainments of the age. It was- an ab
solute intellectual triumph and was well
calculated to inspire the hearts of the peo
ple with the highest appreciation of the
scholars’ efforts. The’pupUs manifested a
great interest, and in the disposal of
different parts crowned their efforts with
signal suooess, showing beautifully and
conolnsively to the audience, that where
there is a will thereiis a way.
The exercises consisted of choioe decla
mations, as well as an abundance of dia,
logues, which were new, novel, humorous
and instructive. u The Country Cousins,"
and the “ Scene in Court," were dialogues
never before the public, afld they, in com
bination with the other exercises, were
superlatively grand and merited the highest
esteem of the audience, and brought forth
constant peals of applause. The presence
of the Cambridge Cornet Band greatly im
proved the exercises, and in their per
formance of excellent music, they certainly
merit the approval of the public and bid
fair to become a band, such as the citizens
of this place may feel glad to own as theirs.
The house was densely crowded, good or
der prevailed and all passed off commend
ably and satisfactory. A vote of thanks
being tendered to the Band for their choice
music, the crowd dispersed much pleased ;

Senate. —When the Senate met to-day
Mr. Ross made a personal explanation re
lative to the published accounts of bis in
terview with the President, which he said
were grossly incorrect. He entered at some
length into his grievances in the matter of
the Kansas appointments, claiming that
good Republicans, who had been gallant
soldiers, were removed for no other reason
than that they were his friends.
Mr. Pomeroy replied, saying that in his
opinion, the President’s course with re
gard to these appointments would be sus
tained by the people of Kansas. He said
the persons removed were unfriendly to the
Republican party, and two of them hud
run for office on the Democratic ticket.
The adjournment resolution was called
up by Mr. Edmunds and opposed by Mr.
Sumner.
It was announced that the Senators had
information that the President would send
in his last batch of appointments to-duy,
and that they would be few and unimport
ant.
Tho resolution was finally atumended to
read, that whon the Somite adjourns, on
Thursday, it adjourn without day, which
will allow the session, if necessary, to be
prolonged to Friday noon, nnd was then
passed.

Admission of Insane Patients.—At
tention is called to the following section of
the law recently passed, relative to the ad
mission of patients into the hospital for the
Insane in this State. It is as follows :
“That insane persons may be placed in a
hospital for the insane by their legal guar
dians, or by their relatives or friends, in
case they have no guardians, but never
without the certificate of two or more repu
table physicians, after a personal examina
tion, made within one week of the date
thereof, and this certificate to bo duly ac
knowledged and sworn to or affirmed be
fore some magistrate or judicial officer, who
shall certify to the genuineness of the

The Lumber Trade.— The Columbia
Herald states that “the late floods have
brought au immense quantity of lumber
from the upper waters of the Susquehanna
and its Drauches. Several hundred rafts
have passed down to the tide waters and
some two or three hundred are moored to
our Wharves.
But few sales have been made at this
place. We notice some sales of limber at
20 cents per cubic foot, being four cents in
advance of last year’s price. Some hemlock
joist and soantling has been sold at $l4.
Pine boards and shingles are held about
the same as last year.”

—A little boy named Henry Kessler, son of
J. U. Kessler, of Colerain township, this
county, has a turkey hen that a few days
ago laid an egg having plainly marked
upon it the letters W. A. R. These letters
were not marked upon the fegg after it was

sider it a genuine declaration of War from

one of the most elegant parties of that kind
which ever came off in Lancaster. We ex
pect to see a great array of beauty present;
“ Auburn hair and raven tresses,
Sparkling eyes and smiling faces.”
All aglow with the exhilaration of the
dance. The arrangements being aade are
of the most perfect order.
A Bucks County paper, speaking of old
houses, says that there is a house in South-*
ampton township, in that county, that was
built In 1718. Lancaster county can beat
that easy. There is a stone house standing
at Sharpless’ mill in Sadsbury township
that was built in 1714. It has been repair
ed several times but the original walls are
still standing.

More Hydrophobia — Two Mad Doga
I Shot*-- Yesterday afternoon oertain parties
residing in the Second Ward, this city, re
ported at police headquarters that a dog
manifesting all the symptoms peculiar to
rabies was in an alley between Lime and
Shippen streets. Offloers Gandaker and ,
Flatter at once repaired to the place dealg-1
nated, and found the dog exhibiting very I
decided signs of madness—the dog was Im
mediately dispatched by them.' '
This morning a large strange dog, sup- :
posed to be from the country, effected an
entrance into the baok yard of the residence
of Mr. John Wilhelm, which Is on the north
aide of East Chestnut street, between Lime
and Shippen street, in the Sixth Ward—
The alley gate having been left ajar the dog
entered through it, and being attacked by !
a fit of madness in bis paroxyew he tore a
chicken coop to pieces, killing one of the
chickens which it contained. In the inter
val following the convulsion, the dog pro
ceeded toward the P. R. R. depot; when he
reached the smith shop immediately east of
the depot he was again seized with convul
sions, and commenced grinding bis teeth
and snapping, a frothy saliva in the mean
while exuding from his mouth. The rabid
animal was soon, however, shot by Mr. !
Owen Hopple, and the city relieved from a j
most deadly pest [
Wo have heard of several other dogs be
ing shot by their owners in different parts
of the city on account of their manifesting
symptoms of hydrophobia. But the above
cases are the only ones we have yet learned
I of in which the dogs were at large, and the
symptoms of such a decided character as to
leave no doubt of the animals beiDg attack
ed with hydrophobia.
The City Police have been enforcing with
commendable zeal the appropriate and
timely proclamation of the .Mayor, issued
on the 12th inst. A number of unmnzzled
dogs running at large in the different Wards
have been shot, and in this way doubtless
most fatal consequences have been avoided.
The city authorities are deserving of greut
praise for their prompt action in endeavor
ing to prevent the spread of hydrophobia
in the city by a determined enforcement of
the law.

A Bad Bov.—On Tuesday, the 12th inst.
a pocket book containing $l4O was stolen
from the store of Seldomridgeund Blank in
Salisbury township. It appears that a boy
named Hervey Gallagher was noticed about
the store in the afternoon, and as his provi-S
ous character was bad, suspicion at once
rested upou him, and Mr. Seldomridge |
procured a warrant and the services of I
Constable Bowman and took Gullagber I
into custody. At first he denied all know!- I
edge of the affair, but on promise of not I
beiug prosecuted, acknowledged that he I
had stolen the money and buried it in his I
father’s garden, In searching at the spot
pointed out by him tho money was found,
excepting $2O which he had spent, Gulla
gber is about sixteen years oj age, aud has

the storos in the vicinity.
That Riot. —The Local MarictUan says

Mariettian is that “ three or four Iriahtown
rowdies did attack several up-rivermen
and bad quite a free fight just about car
time on Wednesday evening, but no body
vras dangerously hurt. It is true, never
theless, that about half a dozen fellows at

“ spiling for a-fight”—should bo prosecuted
and taught a lessou.”

Franklin and Marshall College.—
A recent number of the Philadelphia Press
contains the following articlo on Frankliu
and Marshall College:
With summer come the college catalogues,
al ways an interesting ludex of the progress
of the educational interests of the country.
Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster,
Pa., have jußt Issued their annual register,
showingan attendance of seventy-three stu
dents in the college proper, with some fifty
in the grammar school. This Is an exhibit
which revonls encouraging prosperity, par
ticularly when we Consider the especial
character of this institution. Created origi
nally in tho service of purely clerical ami
liberal education, It still bolds Itself exclu
sively true to this original object. A wide,
popular demand, it 1b known, prevails at
this time fqr education In more practical
forms, and It has become tho fashion largely
to shape collegiate training In conformity
with It, by combining in various ways Mel
on ll lie or technic studies with liberal studios,
strictly so called. Hitch business discipline
is of course highly Important, and It Is welj
til tit different colleges, which fmvult in tholr
power to do so, are testing thu quosllon how
far I lean bo successfully joined with culture
In tho other view.
Franklin und Marshall College disclaims,
however, falling In with this policy, und
does not usk public attention or favor on
uny such grounds. Thu ambition of tho
institution is to be a college In the old
American senso of the term. Thoro are,
therefore, no optional courses of study Iu
Franklin and Mumhall College, In which
tho learner Is allowed to choose for himself
what ho shall learn. It receives no i'W/m
-lav students, as they are called, und hah no
provisional or mixed clauses, Tills may bo
with huujo un objection lo the Institution,
but to others it will be u recommendation ;
uud tho fact of tho very roHpoctable number
of students who have sought tho bails of
this institution proves that it supplies a
real want. ’
Eyes and Spectacles.— We had tho
pleasure of attending, ou Saturday evening,
, lu tho Court House, au excellent lecture ou
I the auatouiy and physiology of the human
oye, und use und abuse of spectacles, de
I livered by Prof. E. S. Franks, tho talentod
! optician of New York, who is now in this
i ct»y on a profesioual visi: for u few days.
1 There wus assembled u numerous und re
spectable audience, who seemed to iisten
i with much interest and marked attention
Ito the lecturer’s scientific remarks. Wo
j were not awure of tbo vital Importance ll is
| to the oye sight lo have good glasses and
I accurately applied, or the Injury we sustain
by bad lenses, or improperly adjustedones.
, The lecturer left no doubt in our mind of
his perfect knowledge of the subject he dis
cussed. *He commenced by clearly de
scribing the laws of optics aud principles of
light, then the formation, functions, physi
ology, aud capabilities of the humuu eye
anu action of spectacles, perfect and im
perfect, on that organ. He was materially
aided by some of the best models and dia
grams in the States, of which Dr. Franks
was tbo author. He exhibited ou some
very ingeniously contrived workiug me
chanical models of the eye, in a very mas
terly manner, the action ofspectacles, which
proved to uaveiy satisfactorily that spec
tacles are often (even by the medical facul
ty) recommended where they ought not to
be used, and that the mere vender of spec
tacles is oftener in the habit of offering his
deleterious counsel, and seriously injures
the eve by maltreatmeut for want of under
standing its forms and functlous, and the
action of spectacles thereon. The Professor
is a good speaker, gentlemanly In his man
ner and a thorough optician. Iu fact we
earnestly recommend our friends using
spectacles to have their eyes examiued and
supplied with glasses during bis limited
stay here, as this is an opportunity of ob
staining hie spectacles and advice that
mhy-never occur again. He is the sole
patentee. His office for the short time be ;
remains in Lancaster, is at Mrs. Mason’s,
No. 108 East King street, where wo under
stand he has a lnrge stock of patent spec- j
tacles for sale. j

Items. —We find the following Items
of local interest in the Oxford Ptcm :
Michael Davis, of New York, visiting
Oxford last week, was arrested on the
oharge of stealing §lOO from Patrick Flaher
ty. He was taken before Justice Fulton,
but the prosecutor refused to testify against
him ana Michael was released.
Our farmers have improved the opportu
nity afforded by the fine weather of the
past two weeks to sow tbeir oats, plant po
tatoes and plow for corn. Owing to the
failure of the oats crop the last few years,
farmers are not sowing so grsat a breadth
of this grain as formerly.
. Prof. James H. Kerr, of Cape Girardeau,
Missouri, (formerly of East Nottingham,
Chester county,) has recently been appoint
ed Curator of the Missouri State University.
Professor K. is also Superintendent of Pu b •
lie Schools of his county, and the Cape Gi
rardeau Weekly News speaks in flattering
terms of him.
The werld moves! somebody in Oxford
has a conscience! A letter was received by
the Secretary of the Treasury at Washing
ton from a citizen of Oxford, Pa., contain
ing $1.50, sent in payment for revenue
stamps to that amount which the writer
had found and used. Although this honest
person missed the mark by sending tbe
money to Washington instead of llndingan
owner nearer home, still bis or her honesty
is to be commended. Who in Oxford can
be guilty of conscience.
Hod. Walter B. Dance, a native of Ches
ter county, 1b now a member of the Mon
tana Legislature—chairman of the -Com
mittee or Ways and Means in the House.
He served an apprenticeship of four years
(from 1842 to ’4B) at wheelwrighting with a
citizen of Penn twp., Chester county, who
then carried on that business. His former
employer Informs ns that he was an indus
trious and energetic young mail. He went
West where he was successful in accumu
lating considerable property, and this last
winter he tnrns up in the Legislature of tbe
rich and progressive territory of Montana.
Truly time works wondrous changes. The
apprentice boys ofto-day should remember
that they may be the legislators of our
oountry a few years hence—if they improve
tbeir opportunities.
Appointed Oil Inspector.— Governor
Geary has appointed Mr. John W. Bruner

mild, the market will be stocked in a few

Pain In tbe 81de and Luugs, und a general depression
of health to such an extent us greully to alarm nn
self and friends as to tbo result. During this time I
tried several highly recommended remedies, with
«lttlle or no good result, und had concluded to try the
effectofa southern climate upon ir.v health; but,
before carrying this resolution luto effect, I wus in
duced by the urgent so.lcltalton of your agent, Mr.

CALLS ?
Where do wo go when fancy calls
Us from onr qnalnt old fashioned Halls,
To take a stroll as evening fulls
Calm and serene,
The pleasant momenta to beguile,
Wo atruy to where (hr :«tr\t stj/tc
iu plain and fancy ligan d pile
Are to be seen.
We do admire tluo funcyglusseH,
On table, nothing them hurpaiser;
For water, wine, or e'en molasses,
The’re Just the thing.
Tea sets also we muub^ulmlre,
Of China which I now requlro ;
I feel a growing fond desire
Their praise to sing.
To number Eighty lot ns go,
Well! since you wish, let it bo so;
They’ve spleudld ware uud selling low,
lias oft becu spoken.
Ail 1 here’s the storo, why i; declare /
What rows of fanoy glittering ware,
Aud wh&t a crowd of people there;
That’s a good token.
