J For twenty minutes,minutes which Beem ed lengthened Into boors, these missiles, varying in aize team a quarter of an inch to an inoh4nd a quarter in diameter, fell as thickly as show flakes ; and,drlven by the angry blast,struck with the force of bullets. • They were of a jagged, irregular shape, resembling that which molton lead assumes when thrown out to cool; the centre being of a white, opaque substance, and covered with pure, transparent ice, twisted by the fingers of the> frost Into a thousand fantastic forms* One of them picked up on Caron delet avenue Velghed 2£ ounces. Of the quantity some idea maybe gained by a single Incident Bailey & Co.’s Circus was performing on tho Llndal! lot, and the pro prietors, fearing the tent might be demol ished, let down the center so that it assum ed tbe shape of a huge funnel. When the storm was overno less than fifty bushels of hall were removed I The force with which it came may be judged from the fact that a negro on Third street was knocked down by three of the stones striking him ou the head at once. Individuals unable to gain a shelter were severely wounded, and there are rumors that one or two persons in the northern part of tho city were killed out right. Every building with a western exposure, unprotected by blinds or shutters was com pletely riddled as if by a fusillade of mus ketry at point blank range. A well-known glazier estimates that not less than $20,000 worth of work in his line will bo required to repair damages in the city proper, and we believe ho is rather nnder than over the mark. There is not a street In the city on which there was not one or more runaways.— Every policeman reporting at the station houses saw runaways, and indeed nearly every person who was on the street, or look out, witnessed thefrantic action of uncheck ed teams. One officer, who was at the Pa cific Railroad Depot, on Seventh Street, .saw six runaways at one time, including a fonr-horee team. It is said a person, who had been out hunting near the Six Mile House, returned with 55 snlpo, which had bean killed by the hail. s We hope the snipo are not as tough as the story. We have reliable Information that a col ored people's funeral procession, which was going up Pine street, was sadly disturbed by the Btorm. When near tho corner of Seventeenth street the hailstones com menced to pelt the horses, and ono after another tho teams ran away, including that drawing the hearse, which became utterly unmanageable. Tho driver was thrown off, tho corpse thrown out, and all the mourners carried far away irom the obect of their grief. Some time after the storm a person who had formed one of the party was seen in tho neighborhood where tho storm struck tho funoral looking for the coffin. Tbe fun eral, wo understood, was postponed. One of the most alarming incidents of tbe evening was witnessed on the ferry boat which was conveying the passengers who arrived by the Indianapolis and St. Louis train from East St. Louis. There woro five or six omnibuses, two or three backs, and some wagons ou the boat at the time, and tbe former bad a pretty fair load. The boat had j ust left the landing and was sheer ing round, wheu the hail came down with such heavy force that a partial stampede occurred. One of tho horses of an omuibus commenced struggling to get loose, and got jammed against oue of tho Planters’ Hotel carriages. The omnibuses were moving forward, or endouvoring to do so, and the wagons were moving in an opposite direc tion, but ou the same side of the boat. There wns a general struggling among the horses, and intense excitement prevailed among the passengers, who got out of tbe vehicles in whatever way and as quickly as they could. Fortunately, very few injuries were sustained. The captain of tho ferry boat put tho vessel back, but tho passengers did not go ashore. As soon as the violence of the storm hud passed, the boat had its head turned to St. Louis, and the passengers ar rived at HI. Louis without any further un pleasant ncoideut. Several of the deck hands of the boat received cuts and bruises. Latest by Telegraph! From WushlutfUm.

Despatches from San Francisco sny that Intonse excitement exists there over the prospective change of officers in tho United States Mint. Before tho now officers can assume chargo a thorough inventory must be had of all stock in hand, including the coin and such metals as aro iu tho mint awaiting coinuge. When this is done the operations of the mint must necessarily cguso for a number of days. At the present time there is a vory large supply of motals on hand, and to suspend working tho mint for a few days even would seriously em barrass commercial circles. In this condi tion of affairs efforts have been made to have the commissions of the new officers recently confirmed by tbe Senate withheld till such a transfer cun be made without detriment to business interests. President Grant received a long despatch this morning from the officers of tho Cham ber of Commerce of .San Francisco, giving a full explanation of tho condition of af fairs, ana asking his interference in tho matter, This despatch closes as follows: “ The Chamber respectfully but urgently prays that your Excellency will take such action in the premises, and will protect the coust and the country at large ugainst the calamity of stopping at this juncture the Mint upon which tho country depends for throe-fourths of its coin supply, and upon which the coast is wholly dependent.” In accordance with this request it is under stood Ihnt tho commissions of the now offi cers will be withhold for tho present, and that tho stoppage of the mint will not take place at this time.

A few weeks ago a friend brought into the shop a little dog be bad picked up in the street; Goodwillie In fondling it was bitten in tho thumb; lit tle notice was taken of the wound, which healed over. The first symptoms of hydro phobia appeared on Sunday morning, when he arose and attempted washing himself; the sight of water threw him into paroxysms.

Tuesday Afternoon.—-Court re-assembled at half-past 2 o’clook. : Tho case of Leonard Kj Seltzer, indicted for the larceny of a watch and chain, was not given to the jury until half-past four o’clock. Benjamin Kapp was indicted for the lar ceny of two turkeys, from John Brill—re siding about three-quarters of a mile from the Lancaster oonnty line, in Dauphin county,* on the 28th of October last. The prosecutor stated that he saw the defendant and two others—Sam and Joe Musser, in a wagon, together, near Redseckeris Mill at seven o’clock in the evening, and afterwards saw Musseris wagon, between eleven and twelve o'clock, within 100 yards of his house. The principle evidence connecting Kapp with the larceny depended on the confession of Sam and Joe Musser, after they had been detected; when they admit ted that all three were together and stole the turkeys, and the next morning sold themat Marietta. Thejuryretiredand the Conrt adjourned. Ignored Bills. —The indictment against John Hardecker for larceny, was ignored ; also those against John Stein and Freder ick Miller, severally charged with assault and battery, were Ignored, with county for costs. Wednesday Morning. —Court met at nine o’clock. The lory in the case of Leonard K. Selt zer, indicted for the larceny of a watch and chain, returned a verdict of guilty. Motion was then made by Messrs. Hiester and Long, for arrest of judgment, to give them anjopportunity to file reasons for a new trial. 1 in the case of Beojamin Kapp, indicted for the larceny of two turkeys, the jury re turned a verdict of not guilty. William Watson, colored, a resident of Springville; a basketmaker by trade and a Louisiana Lieut.-Governor in style, was indicted for the larceny of a set of silver plated harness, valued at from twenty to twenty-five dollars, the property of John D. Fritz, hotel keeper, in West Earl twp. The prosecutor stated that the defendant had slept in his barn, in the early part of December last; that about three weeks alter tho harness was stolen from the barn he next saw tho harnoss at Squire Mar tin’s, in Mount Joy. Squire Martin testified that about the sth of January last, whilst the Constable of Springville was prosecuting a search at Watson’s for some stolen meat, he found a set of silver mounted harness, which he belioved to belong to Mr. Fritz, and took Watson into custody, and brought him beforefhiru, where Mr. Fritz identified tho harness as his. The harness was given up to Mr. Fritz who has since sold it and did not. therefore, produce it in Court. The defence produced an old mulatto woman,who testified with telegraphio speed aud who came to “ speak only God'’Al mighty’s truth,” to prove that the harness taken by the Constable from Watson, was purchased by him at a sale of a Mrs. Herr, in Dauphin county, about three miles from Middletown, and that Mrs. Herr had since gone West. ' i witness appeared to be telling a little ore than “the God Al mighty’s truth ” ihan she had contracted for, as she could not tell whether it was a one or two-story house, or whether it was situated on a public road or not, where the harness was purchased. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, with a recommendation to mercy, and the Court, in consideration of this and that he had already been in jail three months, sentenced him to 3 months imprisonment. Levi Marshal and his two sous, John and Jacob Marshal,were Indicted for tho larceny of four bushels of wheat, the property of Eli Wenger, of Sadsbury twp.

When the boy Jacob was arrested be owned to tho robbery having been committed by uli of the accused. Tbe defence rested upon tho want of posi tive identity of the wheat, aud the boy’s admission of tho theft being made under the impulse of fear. The jury returned a verdict of guilty with a recommendation to mercy, nnd tho Court sentenced thorn—the boy to tbe House of Refuge and tho others to five months’ imprisonment. Mary Wortz was indicted for assault nnd battery on Catherine and Lizzie Sweible, two young girls of about 14 and 10 years of age, residing iu Fryburg street, Lancas ter City. The young girls were, on the 2Gth of No vember last, driving the defendant’s cows out of their father's wheat field, adjoining the lot of tho new Children’s Home, where, in consequence of-the “Home’s” fence not being made the cows had strayed. Mrs. Wortz took offence at their driving the cows away, as she fancied they were going to drive them to their own barn to impound them, and taking a large cattle whip from Catherine, she knocked her head violently against the fenco, tore her olothes, and then beat Lizzie with tho whip. The defense endeavored to show that the girls insisted on trying to drive the cows to their father’s barn, saying they would pen them up; that the defendant only took hold of the whip to prevent the girls from striking the cows, and that they a woro at her and said they would break tho defendant’s Dutch head if she did not give up the whip. The jury went out in ibis case at the adjournment of Court. Bills Ignored.—The bill preferred against Tobias Horshey, for assault and battery, with county for costs; against John J.

He said he went to tho store to get a show case that belonged to him, instead of which Mrs. Marks gave him a cowhide over his face. Mrs. Marks said that Strauss called her bad names and provoked her, and so she gave it to him as ho deserved. The Court lined tbe defen dant $5 and costs. Barbara Weinberger was indicted for assault and battery on Mary Ann Harnor. The prosecutrix Is a widow residing in Mulberry street, and charged that the de fendant was in the habit of enticing her daughter Margaret, a girl between sixteen and seventeen years of age, from her home and that, when she went over to the de fendant’s on the occasion referred to—the 19th of September last, for her daughter’s clothes, that she had taken there, the assault complained of was committed. The de fense endeavored to impugn the testimony of tho prosecutrix. The jury returueda ver dict of not guilty and county for costs. A number of the defendants in cases not being present when called, and the busi ness of the Court being delayed in conse quence thereof, the Court ordered that process bo Immediately issued against all the parties.

Thursday Morning.— Court met at nine o'clock. Tho first caso attached was that of Henry Hess, charged with the manslaughter of Reuben Gregg, a colored man, residing in Paradise twp., on tho 28th'of November, The indictment having been read, tho prisoner plead not guilty. The Court then Instructed tfie accusedjas to his right to2o peremptory challenges and as many for cause as he deemed advisable. Tbfe following eleven jurors—John Hast ings, Robert B; Patterson, Samuel Royer, Samuel M. Myers, Samuel M. Mylm, Geo. Lutz, Elias Bomberger, Stephen C. Pinker ton, Elias Becher, John 8. Jordon and Boarding S. Patterson, were selected from the regular panel, when it was exhausted and a special venire ordered to be Issued by the sheriff for ten other jurors, returnable in half an hour. At half-past eleven the special jurors were returned and William Diller selected, which completed the panel. The case was then opened, on behalf of the Commonwealth, by Henry Clay Bru baker, whe, in connection with John B. Livingston, was associated with the District Attorney for the prosecution, whilst Messrs. I. E. Hießter, S. H. Reynolds and E. C, Reed were for the defense. The accused is a youth of mild appear ance about 18 and the deceased over 19 years of age. The father of the accused was in attendance and sat beside him. From the evidence of the witnesses it ap pears that on the afternoon of the 28th of November last, between 3 and 4 o’clock, a fight occurred between the two boys, which was witnessed by Mrs. Jefferson Gregg, colored; that shortly after the commence ment of the fight Robt. Gregg, one of the witnesses, heard the cry of murder from a woman and proceeded in the direction of the alarm, where he saw his brother’s wife, Mrs. Jefferson Gregg, and the boys, both of whom were in an excited state, Gregg, the larger boy, having a stone In his hand and running after Hess; that he called out to them “what’s going on here,” when Gregg turned toward him, and then Hess came after Gregg; that he then caught hold of Hess and told him to quit. Upon letting go of Hess, they commenced throwing stones at each other again; the witness then told them again to quit and Gregg went into their cabin in the woods, Hess following after him. The distance, when first seen, was about three or four hundred yards from the cabin, near the Gap Nickel Mines Bmelting furnace. After the deceased had gone into the cabin he threw down the bar rel of a gun, which he had in hishand when they were first fighting, and came out again and pioked up two stones and swore he would knock Hess’ brains out, Robt. Gregg insisted on the deceased putting down the stones; whilst Robt Gregg was speak ing to Reuben and as he had hla head to ward Robert, the accused stepped up three i or four paoes and pioked up a stone, weigh- I Ing about a half a pound, and threw It at the I deceased, striking him on the right Rldo of the head, from which blow he fell* to all ap pearance dead, and never Bpokeagain; At the time Hess threw tbe atone be was a boat eight yards - distant from the deceased* When Robt. Gregg first saw the boys both were very angry andHees was crying.'" When this much of the frets had been elicited from the testimony the Court ad journed. * Bills Ignored. Tbe Grand Jury ignored the following bills. Against Amos M. Sonrbeer, for selllngllquor without license, with county for costs? against John Smeltz and Reah Stroff, for misdemeanor, with county for costs; against Samuel Anble, for misdemeanor, wRh county for costs;. against Benjamin Trost, for larceny; against David Christ, for mis-demeanor, with county for costs; against Andrew Reese, for mis-demeanor, with county for costs and against Israel Brenner, for mis demeanor, with county for costs. Thursday Afternoon.— Coart re assem bled at half-past two o’clock. Joseph Cromer, a dilapidated specimen of the human family, plead guilty to the larceny of two vests, of the value of $5 each, and was sentenced to four months Imprison ment. The Court then resumed tho trial of Henry Hess, charged with manslaughter. The prosecution did not prodace anyinew testimony, the witnesses generally cefrobo rating those that had preceded them,'except that some stated that the deceased was at the time of the quarrel and for two hours before, in liquor, and had qnarrelled and threatened and attacked Wm. Bryson, one of tho witnesses. Dr. Davis was called to prove that he was sent for after the occurrence and found Reuben Gregg lying on the ground dead ; he had a bruise on tbe side of the head, and after examination, tbe skull was found fractured near the temple. This comprised all the testimony for the Commonwealth. For the defense, it was proveu by Rachael M. Hess, sister of the accused, and Mrs. Mary Ann Gregg, a white woman, that Reuben Gregg—the deceased, on the after noon in question, came to the house of this Mrs. Mary Ann Gregg, in a state of liquor; that he spoke in a rude manner to Rachael, which caused her to retreat into the house of Mrs. Gregg; that the deceased followed her to the door and, presenting a gun at her, threatened to shoot her if she did not tell him her name; that her brother—the accused, interfered and seized the gnn; that the accused cried and implored Reuben ►ot to hurt his sister; that Reuben then seized the accused by tbe throat and ran him against the wail. When Henry got loose, he ran out from the house, when Reuben followed him und struck him over the baok with the gun and broke it. Mrs. Gregg then got between them, and after ward ran up tbe hill and called out mur der, which was heard and responded to as before described. The defense also.proved by Rachael Wil son, that on a fortfier occasion Henry Hess had driven tbe deceased from their premi sises, had that Reubeu, being taunted with his defeat, said “ I will havo his life, some day, or he shall take mine.” Other tGsUtfft» was given, proving that Reuben ban zlfrqe a similar threat, on a previous oocaglfili* JThe gun was produced in Court &nd>proved to be the one broken by the deceM#d-<ftefc the accused’s back, and taken before tbe Deputy Coroner atafitfy occasion of the inquest, was provdfeio be,loaded with 64 shot, most ly squirrel shot”' It was also anfrwn that tho gun had been loaded, on> the afternoon in question, for the deceased, at his request and that he was intoxicated at the time. Dr. J. S. Davis testified that he had ex amined the back of the accused, shortly after the homicide and fouod it badly bruised and tho skin brokeu, as if by blows from a club. This comprised tho chief features of the defense, the facts of tho linalo and the re sult of tho quarrel being of a similar char acter to that admitted by tho Common wealth witnesses on cross examination. The defense then closed their testimony and tho counsol proceeded to address tho jury. The eouusel for tho prosecution endeavor ed to show that the testimony proved suffi cient malice on the part of the uccused to convict him of voluntary manslaughter ; on the other hand tho defendant’s counsel argued that, from tho evidence, the ac cused was not guilty of either of the charges—voluntary or involuntary man slaughter, but that he was acting in self defense, from thobrutal attack of adrunken negro, and that the act of his taking Reu ben Gregg’s life was what the law terms “accidental killing.” Tho charge of the Court, predicated upon tbe testimony, was favorable to the ac cused. The jury retired at about a quarter to seven o’clock, and in ten minutes re turned with a verdict of acquittal, whon Court adjourned. Friday Morning.— Court met at nine o’clock. The Board of Prison Inspectors present ed a petition to thetfourtto make order, in accordance with a recent act of Assem bly, for the return of such persons as may now be under sentence, from this Court, in the Eastern Penitentiary, to the Lancaster County Jail, as that prison had been made, in accordance with the act, sufficiently se cure. And, also, that all persons senten ced, by this Court, at the present and any future sessions, for nny offences other than murder, manslaughter and child-rape, should be sent to tbe Lancaster County Jail, in accordance with said act. Henry a. Bernheiser was indicted ami found guilty of the larceny of a blanket of the value of $lO, the property of Alexander Pennock, in February last, and sentenced to three months imprisonment. He also pload guilty to the larceny of a wolf-robe, and was sentenced to threo months impris onment in the Lancaster County Jail. A. A. Bowe was charged with the larcoDy as bailee,. of two hundred and fifty-five dollars and seventy-five ceuts from the “ Delaware Mutual Life Insurance Co.” Geo. H* Hicks the general agent for the company stated that he had appointed the defendant a duly authorized agent for the Delaware Mutual Life Insurance Co., under a power vested in him ; that Bowo proceed ed to obtain customers at little Washing ton, Columbia, Millersvill© and Conestoga Centre, and received from John Gohns, $15.19; from Jacob Omit, Jr., $22.5(1; from Benj. F, Horner, $-14.07; from JohnS. Omit, $3.53; and from A. H. Rambo, $20.82 on account of insurance on life for various amounts for which he promised to issue the policies, as authorized, and ou which he was allowed a commission of twenty-five per cout. upon aunual, quarterly or semi annual payments. Tho receipts of the nbovo amounts he rondered an account of, payinr over thirty dollars and ninety-four cents, in cash, with an account of expenses incurred, and three dollars paid for a med ical examination; no other money or ac count had been received from him. There were other araouuts, of which he had not made any account, but which the patties had declared they hud paid him and him also applied for and received their policies, viz: from Calvin G. Smith, $39.09 from David W, Shertzer, $24.83; from Abm. Sawyer, $18,40; from R. I. M. Lyttle, $12.9-1; from Aaron E, Evans, $22.40, and from Jno. Evans, $24.85, On cross-examination Mr. Hioks admitted that some of the pre miums on the policies were to be paid quarterly and semi-annually; that the commission on them would not bo paid to Bowe before such premiums were paid ; and that therefore thoro was an amount ac cruing due to him for commission on such outstanding amounts of premium. Charles Leader, John Evans, Jacob I)oitz, Omit. Lewis S. Shuman and Jacob Omit were culled npon to prove the solici tation by defendant for insurance and tlio payment of amounts to him. The whole sum the prosecution was able, by testimony, to prove to have been paid to the that admitted by him to Hicks, to the amount of $106.75. The defense contended that not only was the defendant not guilty ot larceny or oven misdemeanor, on account of the company being in posnession of sufficient security for the difference between $100.75 and $255 94, in the amount of commission growing due to him, from the quarterly and semi-annual payments accruing from the insured ; but that be was not liable under the act upon which the indictment was framed as it speci ally applied to persons in the capacity of bailees, clerks and servants ant} not to agents, as implied from the 114 section of the said act and Col. Pyfer, one of the coun sel for deft, road from numerous English and American authorities to show the dif ferent interpretations put npon the terms servants, clerks, «fcc., and that of agent, showing that they wero not considered in the same category. Pending the argument of counsel the Court adjourned. Ignored Bills—Tho Grand Jury ignored two bills against Jeremiah B. Martin, for selling liquor without license and to minors, with county for costs. Friday Afternoon.—Court re assembled at half-past two o’clock. The counsel resumed the argument In the case of A. A. Bowe, indicted for larceny, as bailee, and did not conclude until half-past four o’clock. TheConrtln their charge to the jury said, that It had been always the course of the English and American Courts to place the strictest construction on the wording of the acts to protect individuals from the penalty of the law, which was at times, very severe, so that many individuals bad, by such construction, escaped punishment, who were morally guilty. The Court proceeded to overrule the position taken by defen dant’s counsel, with regard to hia liability under the section of the act of Assembly on which the indictment was framed, and instructed them that unless they concluded the set off pleaded by defendant was a re lease of his indebtedness to the Company, he was liable to conviction. The jury then retired and after an absence of ten minutes, returned a verdiot or guilty. Counsel moved for arrest of Judgment that they might file reasons for new trial. Ellen Doyle, recently an inmate of the Children’s Home “and charged with arson in that establishment, was brought before Court and a verdict of not guilty taken, in consequence of Mr. Sensenig, the prison keeper, having agreed to take and raise her. Tho Court admonishod and dis charged her. All the jurors were then discharged. Application was made by John Rohrer, of Mechanicsburg, for the cancelment of the indentures of Michael O’Connpr, on ac count of Incorrigibleness, The case was not concluded when Court adjourned. Ignored Bills.—The Grand Jury ignored the Dills preferred agaln&t Michael Connor, charged with felonious assault, with county for costs; and against Samuel David Shert zer, charged with fordble detainer, with Pennsylvania Railroad Company for costs Saturday Morning, — at nlue o’do ok. The Conrt In pursuance of the petition of the Prison Inspectors, reported In our Court proceedings of Friday* made an order /or : the return of the convicts now in the East ern Penitentiary, from Lancaster county CoarC, to the County jail. a / The. counsel for Addison A. Bowe, con victed. of larceny, as bailee* receded from thedr iftotlon for a new trial, aa the accused would have to remain in jail four months before the qew trial could take place. The Conrt then, in consideration of his having been two months in JaU* sentenced him to one month Imprisonment. In the case of Michael O’Connor, partly heard on Friday afternoon, the counsel for defendant Baid that he was willing that tbe Coprt should cancel bis indentures, as be .Was willing to go to his sister in Philadel phia. The Court accordingly cancalled the Indentures and discharged the prisoner. The case of. surety of peace against tbe ' same defendant wra withdrawn, with Oonnty for costs. Henry Good was charged with the deser- ' *tion of Sarah Good, bfr wife. They resided • at Marietta, and were'married on the 17th 1 of October, ISGG, and lived together near twb years, when they parted fora time— < as tbe wife alleged, because she had noth- 1 ing but potatoes to eat for two weeks; they \ were again reconciled and lived together < until tho latter part of April, 18GS, when 1 they each sold some of the fnrnlture, and i Henry took his chest and went to the ] tavern, and Sarah went to hor parents. 1 Evidence was produced to prove bis not I providing for his wife properly whilst she i did live with him. < The defendant offered to prove by his fath er’s sister, a girl that lived with them, and others, that Henry and bis wife always had enough food ; that Sarah permitted tlpf visits of one Brant, by whom she had hjtt a child before marriage; tbat she deserted him once before and ne fetched her back, and that she had now deserted him and not he her.

The charges of desertion against Andrew Clavoo, John Martin and Jacob Hernt were dismissed, on account of the non-appear ance of the complainants. The Court then took up the “ old stand ” tavern licenses and resterannts and granted dll such as were not remoustranced against.

Robberies at thb Circus.— On Monday several robberies were committed during the evening performance by, doubtless, a gang of light lingered gentry, who usually follow circuses, and some of our own well spotted depot loafers. Mr. A. Bard was relieved ofa gold watch ; a gentleman from Rapho lost bis purse, and James Devine came near parting with the same valuable article, as ne felt a band at his pocket as he reached up for his ticket; but. in consequence of the crowd around, could not detect the thief, although he was quiok enough to prevent the consummation of the gentleman's polite intentions. Throe young town scoundrels, named Harry Weaver, Llpptncott and Hinder, were charged last night by one of the show men with stealing a valise from the tout. They were seen to make off with it after the show was out and when the tent was being taken down, but being pursued closely they threw it into the lot of Constable John Mc- Cutchen, Mrs. McCntchen being in the gar den at the time. She gave the valise to the showman, who waited about for awhile to see if they would return for it; shortly after Weaver came along, looking over the feuce, when he was grabbed by the man. He at first denied and even swore he did not know anything abont it, but, upon being promised that he would not be prosecuted. Be at last owned up to the theft and gave the name of his accomplices. Stolen and Recovered.— On Monday a gentleman from Virginia arrived here in search of a horse that had been stolen from him, having traoked the same to this city. The horse was found in the possession of McComsey & Co., horse dealers who had purchased it from Kauf man Deutcta, a trader in the chevaU Officer Haber accompanied the owner to Messrs. McCqmsey’s, who upon being satisfied that all was correct, delivered the horse without hesitation, and the owner went on bis way rejoicing. Stable Burned.— The Columbia Spy states that about two o’clock Sunday morn ing, a fire was discovered in Kitchen-town, The alarm was soon sounded through town, and our firemen repaired to the spot with their steam engines. It proved to be a stable belonging to Henry Rupp, which had been used as a carpenter shop. The engines were supplied with water from a cistern of the Pennsylvania railroad ; but could effect but little, as the building was nearly destroyed before they reached the spot The loss is from four to five hundred dollars; Insured in the Lyooming Insurance Company for two’hundred dollars. The fire was caused by an incendiary. Accident. —-On Tuesday Winfield Huber had three fingers on his right hand drawn in between the calender rollers at tne Printers’ Paper Mill, by which the nails were torn off, though it is believed that not any bones were crushed. Winfield is about 18 years of age, and has only been one week at work in the mill. He Is very unfortunate having only recently left the Cotton Mills, on account of having one of his hands bad ly hurt in the machinery. Hand Crushed. —John Frey, aged about eighteen years, son of John Prey, of Ephra ta township, had his left hand crushed so badly in his father’s mill, in said township on the 19th inst,, that ampntation was found necessary.

Election of Cuuktt Superintendent of Public Schools.— The election of Oonr • ty Superintendent of Common Schools, in this county, will take place on Tuesday, the 4th of May next. But two.candidates have aa yet been prominently announced for the position, Messrs. D. Evans, the pres* ent Superintendent, and A. O. Newpher, principal of the Public Schools of Colum bia. The following account of the duties of this important official is taken from the Reading Times; it will be seen that the responsibility of the office cannot be over estimated by the Directors of the Public Schools of the comity, when they come to meet in Conventionale select a suitable in cumbent. The as follows: The dutiea of theSuperinterident of Com mon Schools, as defined in the Act of As sembly of May Bth, 1854. (Pnrdon, Page 173) are, in a general way, to visit as often as practicable .the several schools in his district, to note the course and method of instruction taught therein, and to give such directions in the art and method of teach- : ing as shall seem to himself and the school directors or controllers to be expedient and necessary, and to secure uniformity, as far as may be practicable, in schools under his care. Among the specified branches which he is to have taught are orthography, read ing, writing, English Grammar, geogra phy and arithmetics. On failure of direc tors. or controllers to provide competent teachers, he is to notify the board In writ ing of the neglect, and in case the appoint ments are not made forthwith, he is requir ed to report tho facts to the State Superin ’tendent, whose duty it is to withhold the Warrant for the payment of the annual ap propriation to that district until he shall be informed by the County Superintendent that the vacancies have been properly filled. In case of neglect or refusal of the board of directors or controllers to fill the vacancies within one month after the notification by the County Superintendent, the district shall forfeit absolutely its whole quota of the State appropriation for that year' He shall also examino all applicants for the position of teacher, and to give certificates to such persons as shall be found to be pro perly qualified. He is to make annual re ports upon the condition of the schools within his district, to the State Superintend* ent. The latter is to fill vacancies until the next election by the Convention. The County Superintendent holds hia office for three years, and receives snch compensation as shall be fixed upon by the convention of school directors. Tne amount of compensation in Lancaster county'baß been fixed at $1,500. By a supplement to the general Act, ap proved April 9th, 1867, (Pamphlet Laws, P. 51) many additional provisions are made with regard to the auties, qualifications, and privileges of County Superintendents, which provides for the holding of Teachers’ Institutes, and prescribes that the County Superintendent must possess a diploma from a regular college for at least one year prior to his election, or a certificate of com petency from the State Superintendent. He must also be a person of sound moral char* acler, aud have had successful experience in teaching within three years of the time of his election. City and Borough Superin tendents are not to be subject to his au thority, save that they are required to secure his co-operation iu the matter of holding tho annual Teachers’ Institute. The New Militia law.-'The State Guard says the Adjutant General is con tinually pestered with letters of inquiry from all sections of the State as to the terms of the supplement to tb% general militia law passed at the last session of the Legis lature, and wishes briefly and distinctly the provisions of that act. Under the law, as it now stands, the tax imposed upon citizens duly qualified to be members of a militia company who are not members is fifty cents per annum. The aot of last session provides that the minimum for all volunteer military organizations, of all arms of the service, is hereby fixed at thirty-two non-commissioned officers and" privates— except when culled into actual service, when the minimum shall he the aamo as is now required by law.” This act is approved by the Governor, Personal.—Mr. B.

Silk goods will be lower than last season. Silk gauzes brocaded with boquets of flowers are the latest style. In a favorite style of hair dressing the chignon is composed of curls, which may be false, while the real hair is arranged in puffs or in a thick, long curl, which falls over the back. In the Pompadour style the front hair is rolled over a large frlsette, while the chignon is quite plain and flat. Sprays of flowers form part of both these coiffures. Bows for looping up dresses arejvery elaborate, and sometimes take yards of ribbon. The most stylish bows for the neck are made of gros grain or of satin, three or four inches wide. A Chance for Our Butchers.—ln May next, there will be a grand contest in Chi cago, between all the butchers of the coun try, for a champion belt to be awarded to the best beef-killer. The belt has eleven solid silver plates, with the figure of an ox engraved upon each. A central buckle plate of gold will.contain a suitable inscrip tion. The winner of this belt will be styled the champion beef killer of the country, The prize to be contested for will soon be placed on exhibition in Philadelphia. Children's Home.—Tho erection of thi new building is progressing satisfactorily. It is nearly completed in the slating. The gas pipes are laid all through the building, and the wator pipes will be shortly con ducted throughout the building. There is one good arrangement, which places a fire plug on the street opposite the front of the institution, which will, of course be very effective should auy misfortune arise to need it. Tho bricks of the inner piers, sup porting the upper floors appear to be of rather too soft a make for the support of so heavy a superstructure, and some of the joists in the kitchen floor are too short and have scarcely a bearing. The persons in terested in the sound and secure erection of this building should give an eye to these little matters now, ana so avoid too much patching and repairing hereafter. To be Healthy.—Rise at five o’clock these beautiful mornings aDd, you who have the opportunity, take a five mile walk before breakfast, Instead of lying in bed until eight or nine. By doing this you will not require medicants to give you an ap petite, and will put a more lasting color on your cheeks than with rouge. Wriohtsville Items.—We clip tho fol lowing from the Star: Business has revived at the Haw mills and everything about these extensive establish ments now wears a more cheerful appear ance than a month ago.

Detwllor, for $3U,000. on this property Is the celebrated white limestone quarry, and the farm has a river front of a mile or more in length, which makes it valuable. Three rafts, belonging to Henry James <fc Co, secured at the Marietta shore, parted their fastenings, or were sent adrift by somo malicious scoundrels, on Tuesday night last. Two of the rafts passed over the dam and lodged on the rocks below ; the other lodged on the pier opposite Co lumbia where it remained until the follow ing morning and being observed, was saved.

We called at several agencles,and got samples of work, and among the rest at Mr. Fate's, in North Queen street, who was absent at the time, and Mrs. Fate being unable, from an accident to her hand, to operate at the time there happened to be a lady present who had bought a Howe Bewing Machine a few months ago, but who could not be called an expert, who undertook to make samples for us, and notwithstanding her in experience in operating a sewing ma chine, the work far exceeded all other samples which we had already obtained, andwe order ed a Howe Machine to be brought to the house, on oondltlonl.thatif we coold get a better one we oould it. Among the sewing ma chines examined In the olty was the Wheeler A Wilson, the agent for which also brought to my house that machine for trial, and In a few day after sent out to us a lady operator for merely of .Philadelphia* Mr. Fate having beard of the fact came alsoon the day appoint* ed Jof-trial) when a regular oastort ensued, in whioh we are folly convinced the Howe nu* chine came off Ylctcu loos, Thebemznlxigdoiie on the Howe machine, both narrow and deep, In abort .curves and over square corners, in straight edges and over relied seams, was done to perfection. The Wheeler A Wilson failed in the attempt to hem over a felled seam and a square corner. The braiding on the Howe was done lu short minute circles, when the ’.machine ran at Its highest speed, and yet the braid lay flat and smooth, while the Wheeler, at a muoh dower •peed, oould not make a short curve at all. Heavy sewing was also done on the Howe which "lmpracticable” by the Wheeler operator, and the attempt at which was positively refused. Tucking was done on the Howe machine while the operator had both his hands in his pockets, using his feet alone to operato the ma chine, and yet the tuck was straight and even. The tucking or the Wheeler required both hands of whe operator to stretch the goods,and yet the work was puckered to such an extent that In stretching It afterwards;to get out the packers, the thread broke In several places, and in fact It appeared that puckering on the Wheeler machine seemed to be the rale, and smooth, fair work the exception. After the trial of the two machines at our own house, and the facilities offered for Judg ing for ourselves, we concluded that we had found what we needed, and purchased a Howe Family Sewing Machine.
