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.

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

barrass commercial circles. In this condi

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.

Jacob Marshal,were Indicted for tho larceny

the spilling of some of it, to within half a
mile of the defendant’s house. 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.

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

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.

defendant a duly authorized agent for the
Delaware Mutual Life Insurance Co., under

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.

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.

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. The young man who met with
this accident is & student In the Preparatory
Department of Franklin and Marshall Col
lege. _
Re-appointed*— Mr, Harry Rauch, for
merly of this city, and son of E. H. Rauob,
Esq., editor of Father Abraham, has been
appointed one of the Inspectors of Customs
by Collector Henry D. Moore, at the Port
or Philadelphia.
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. U. Warner, formerly
Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue for
this District, has resigned his position in
tho office of the First Comptroller of the
Treasury, und is now the junior member of
the firm of Joshua Whitney A Co., Real
Estate Brokers aud Solicitors in Internal
Revenue cases, at Washington, D, C.
Ladies’ Fashions. —Suits will continue
iu favor this season. Stripes will also be
worn. An overdress of narrow stripe and
an under dress of wide is now seen In thin
goods ; in some cases only the lower skirts
are fiounoed with boquets of flowers. 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.
Mr. Harris Wilton has sold his farm in
Hellam township, adjoining this borough
on the north, containing about one hundred
and ninety acres, to Messrs. D. H. & S. S.
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.
Ballou’s Monthly for May has been
recolved, and is a very excellent and inter

other magazine published. Terms $1.50

Call Accepted.— The Rev. A. H. Sherts,
formerly of this city, but more recently of
Lightstreet, Columbia Co., Pa., baying re
ceived and accepted a unanimous call to
the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Upper
Strasburg, Franklin Co., haß removed and
taken charge of the same.
Register ot Wills.— We are authorized to
announce that Dr. WM. M. WHITESIDE, late
Lieutenant of Company E, 10th Regt. first three
montna’ service, and Captain of Company I
79th Regt. P. V., of Lancaster city, is a candi

A Card.-Having seen a considerable amount
of discussion in Uie newspapers for some time
past in regard to the merits and demerits of
different Sewing Machinesjthat are.belng,;ad
vertised for sale, and as the times generally
Tiring with them the necessities of the age In
which we live, we have felt that we were also
in want of a necessity, without which our
household appeared to be Incomplete, buthere
was a dilemma; wo wanted a'sewlsg machine;
we wanted the best in the market, We had no
preference for any particular machine, and
how to make choice of a machine to meet that
want we knew not, when we were advised by
a neighbor to yet samples of work for compari *
son, which were to be had at the different
Sewing Machine our mind was
made up at once to try our luck. 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.
