There have beenseveral heavy robberies of arms, ammunition, etc., in various parts of Ireland during the past few days.

Laughable Incident. A laughable incident occurred at a certain beer saloon in this city, yesterday, the pro prietorof which had just received from Key West a large turtle weighing four hundred pounds. Lying on the Bidewalk it brought a large crowd around it, among whom was a fat man weighing as much as the turtle, “ more or less.” Preparations were made to cut off the head of the reptile, and the crowd, including “ Fatty,” expressed ade sireto see how it was done. The cook ap peared with alarge cleaver, and placingthe turtle on a large block, severed the head in one blow, the blood squirting in all direc tions on those who were gathered around tbe turtle, causing.a stampede. The fat man fell on the floor, rolled over, and the head of the turtle fell upon his back, and the mouth, gasping iirdeath, closed upon the seat ofthe fat man’s pantaloons, nipping a small por tion of the flesh. The man of fat was terribly frightened, and when his unmentionables were released from the grip of the turtle it was discovered that he was more scared than hurt. -Beer for the crowd aud a hearty laugh. —Cincinnati Times .

Ihe Strlbe nt tbe Coni Bllncs. Maucii Ciiunk, Pa., May 11. —But little in addition to yesterday’s despatches has been learned concerning the strike at the coal mines. Tho-mlners in Wyoming re gion at latest advices were still at work, but considerable discussion as to the pro priety of striking was going on. A com mittee of Hazleton strikers left that place yesterday afternoon for the Wyoming mines, lor the purpose of inducing work men engaged to stop work. Summit Hill, Nesquehoning and Hazleton mines, with the exception of those engaged in Shßrp, Wess & Co’s mine, went out yesterday. They are holding meetings for the purpose of inducing or compelling other miners to join in the strike. So far as can be ascer tained nothing has been done by the com panies towards effecting a compromise or acceding to the demands of the disaffected workmen. It is thought that they will hold out for a long time, and accept nothing less than thh increase now demanded, which is about fifteen per cent. The strike will, no doubt, become general.

The Old Guard. —The following contents of this popular Monthly, for May, are of a character : “Fifteenth Amend ment,” “Northern Delnsions About Ne groes.” Article 12, under the caption “ As' tonnding Delusions and Falsehoods Em ployed by Wilberforce to Turn Loose the Negroes of the West Indies,” which places that “ reformer” in his true light before tbe world. The “Construction of the Bible,” by a Hebrew Scholar, who has given years of labor to this great subject, is worthy of careful perusal. W. Gilmore Simms’ story, “ The Cub of the Panther.” The balance of the literary matter, including the poetical department, is considerably above the late average of merit. The “Book Table” and the “ Editors Table,” are both fall of capi tal reading ; and, all in all, The Old Guard for May makes a splendid number.

The fine voice of the speaker and his graceful gestures won tbe close attention of the audience. Mr. O. L.

Tbe poem was read in fine style, with fitting gestures and audible voice. The Goethean Oration—subject “ Man’s Destiny,” was delivered bv Mr. W. N. Kremer, of this city. This honorary posi tion given Mr. Kremer-on the programme exhibited on the part of the society a proper appreciation of his merits as a public speaker. Mr. K„not only writes remark ably well, but so writes that his orations are capable of being delivered with telling effect.

The Harris Dbntal Association.— The second annual stated meeting of the Harris Dental Association of the’County of Lancaster was held at the office of Dr. John G. Moore, at New Holland, on tho .after noon of Thursday, the oth Inst. *. The eleotlon of officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows : President—Dr. Sam’l Welehens, of Lan caster. Vice President—Dr. P. W. Hiestand, Mil lersyille. Secretary—Dr. Wm, Niohols Amer, Lan caster. Treasurer—Dr. J. G. Moore, Now Hol land. Executive Committee—Drs. John Mc- Calla, Lancaster; J. F. Hoffer, Columbia; M. H. Webb, Lancaster. Delegates to Btate Society—Drs. P. W. Hiestand, J. G. Moore, M. H. Webb. Delegates to American Dental Assocla tion-Drs. Wm. Nichols Amer, J. F. Hoffer, John McCalla. This Association though young in years, has already become an institution of more than ordinary importance in onr midst. It is composed of men of energy and character both in a moral and scientific point of view; and we are told by those who are well in formed in the premises, that it displays a working capacity of a first-class character. It has been mainly instrumental in found ing the “ State Dental Association which was organized in December last in the City of Philadelphia, and which bida fair to be one of the best working societies In the country. We find also that the Harris has been duly honored by the State Society, in giving it a larger proportion of its officers than fell to the lot of any other local society. Among the officers whose names appear in the Charter of the State Dental Association, we find Dr. Sam’l Welcbens, as one of the Vice Presidents, Dr. John SJcCalla, as Treasurer, and Dr. Wm. N. America a member of one of the leading Standing Committees. The object of these Associations is to raise the standard of the Dental Profession to a proper equality with other professions, by developing a higher scientific status, and lurging it of quackery, by obtaining legis ation for such purpose, aud leading public sentiment to appreciate more fully the great benefit of some such action. The local Associations, in connection with the State Society, have already established such a prestige in favor of a systematic movement of this character, as to be rapidly drawing the very best practitioners of tbe State into them, as a proper and comforta ble professional home. Post Office Officials.— The following persons have been appointed by the new Postmaster Mr. H. W. Hager; Clerks, Andrew Leibley, Scott P. Lytle, Samuel Etchells. Letter Carriers, James H.

Eberman, Letter Carrier, haye resigned to take posi tions in the Assessor’s office, the former as Clerk and the latter as Assistant Assessor. We take this opportunity of extending our thanks to the retiring officials for the many courtesies shown ns by them,and we are glad to notice that a portion of the old force are retained at the office, as their fami liar faces will in part make up for the;ab senco of the others. Oats.—lt is not only dogs that seem to have* this year, a periodical visitation of madness, but several -cats have exhibited similar signs this spring; in conse quence of which several have been killed. Their bite when in a rabid state is very poisonous and persons have been known to be obliged to suffer amputation of a finger tbat has been bitten by them whilst in a rabid state, to prevent the poison effecting the arm and even the whole system, which has been known to cause death to children from symptoms similar to hydrophobia. It is only a few weeks back that Mr. Genslichter, of this city, was badly bitten in his fingers by a cat, which, from the poi sonous natore of the bite, so inflamed his : whole hand and caused him such excruci ating pain, that he coaid not work for near two weeks, and feels the effect of it up his whole arm to the present day. Bounty Claims.— lnstructions have been given from the Treasury Department, under the late bounty law, tbat hereafter, in paying soldiers’ claims, two checks shall be given—one to the agent or attorney, for the fee allowed by law, and the other sent direct to the soldier for the remainder due.

In the colored cases, but not the white ones, advances and notarial ex penses are Included In the amount paid to the agent. New Letter Box.—A patent hak'been secured fora new letter bpx greatly superior to that now in use. It will no 1 doubt soon be used in allthe cities in the United-States. In Washington it is alreadysupplafitingthe old one. The dimensions arq considerably greater than the box now used, and it has a lid opening lust far enough to admit a thick letter, which, on being inserted, slips in a Bllde and falls into a receptacle. The letter once in, no Ingenuity can abstract it,’unless tbe box is opened with tbe regular key. Aw Old Stoye.—ln the friends’ meeting house at Enterprise, this county, is a ptove still in use bearing date 1761, which origin ally came from the iron works of Baron Steigel, the founder of Hanheim; Mr. Steinman, of Lancaster, bought this stove some forty years ago for its present loca tion.

Nevin amd Sohaf.—The New York Independent speaking of these distin guished theologians saya: “ Rev. John W. Nevin stands foremost among American theologians. More than a quarter ota cen tury ago he left the commouion ,of the Presbyterian Church, in wbioh he wa® rear ed, and in which he had already attained eminence, to identify himself with the Ger man Reformed Church, which is u mere provincial body hardly known out of Penn sylvania, though it has' some strength in Maryland and Ohio. Professor Scbaf was for years obscured in the same ohurch, and was a fellow professor in Mercersbarg with Dr. Novln, and a contributor to its Beview. But fortunately for himselfand the country Dr. Scbaf has emerged from the mountains oi Pennsylvania,, has taken up his real' dence in the real metropolis of the nation, and is actively and honorably connected, bb a scholar and a clergyman, with the general movement of religious thought and action in the land. But, distinguished and able as Dr. Schaf is, according to the testimony of Dr. C. Houge, Dr. Nevin is much the * stronger man.’ But Dr. Nevin remalnaat Lancaster, immersed in the small quarrels of denominational interests of the German Reformed. Church, and is chiefly known to the American public through the misrepr o ' sentations of rival, theologians and their partisans.”. A Handsome Certificate. —Wo were shown recently by Dr. Samuel Welcliens a copy of a very handsome certificate of membership, which is given to all those who are members of “The Harris Dental Association”; of this county. The certificate is printed in an admirable manner ai id the names of the members are inserted by Al derman Cbas. R. Frailey in the very best style of that famous obirographer. T 1 leseal adopted by the Association has repree tented upon {it tbe“pen, candle, and forceps, the words " Instituted 1867,” and the motto Post Tenebras Lux. 1 ' The certificate was printed at the Intelligencer Job Offloo, and wo can say, without incurring the (iharge of egotism, that a finer piece of workman ship cannot be produced. All, who have seen the certificates, have admired the beauty of their design and finish. Delegate EeiEOTTons.—The Radical County Committee met this morningin the Orphans’ Court Room, in the Court House, to adopt for .the future election of delegatee to the State . Convention. After considerable-wind had been, expended be tween the factions it was decided that every candidate for delegate should announce bis choice for Governor that be intended to support, and that the Chairman of the County Committee should call a general throughout the county, for the pur pose of electing such delegates upon the Crawford County System.

A grain sepa rator in the carriage house was Darned np. Several hogs that were In the pen at the time it was fired were burned to death. It was doubtle&s the intenQon of the vllllans who did the act to commit 'robbery, as at the time the fire was in progress, a man was discovered on the porch roof at the Compass tavern, trying to enter the house through a window.
