Thu Ireconmieiiilntioiis and oslimatcs of tiie (•ommittee were then taken up .leriutini, land all adopted without discussion, except thiil proposing to make tho capita ;tux ID (cents per term. The consideration of this 'proposition led to much discussion.

Tho Committee on Printing made their annual ronord. which was approved. : The Committee on the Stale of tho Order made a report, containing several decis ions and reviews of decisions, which was tlcm read. Among others of their decis ions, one, that a regular election of a rep resentative, held according to law, cannot jbo set aside or declared void by a lodgo at a sub.-eipionl meeting. That tho euurso Avliere fraud or misdemeanor is charged iu itho matter, is to proceed by charges regu larly preferred, and to bo tried according to the penal laws of the order.

A motion to reconsider tho vote of Wed nesday afternoon, rejecting tiie lirst section f ol t lie proposed a moi id ments to the By-Laws uflho Grand Lodgo, relating to an orplmiiH’ asylum, wits made. Tho motion to recon sider was laid upon thu table —yeas 1.57, nays liM. The proposed amendment to section third, article 15th, By-Lawn of the Grand Lodgo {on page -Dl, printed journal), was then takon up, ami after some discussion, was nogalived by a very decided vote. The proposed amcmlmonl to article sixth, By Laws of tho Grand Lodge, proposing to . lix a salary for tho Gruml Treasurer of §:>UD per annum, coming up, gave rise to much discussion, and was linally defeated, Init very low voles being in tho afllrmative.

Child. ■ The thanks of the Graud Lodge wore al so voted to tho Committee of Arrangements of the Brothers of Dauphin county for the very ollicient preparations made by thorn lor the reception of the Grand Lodge. A similar vote of tlmnks was adopted thanking John A. Sinull, Resident Clerk of tho House of Representatives, for the many courtesies extended by hitn to the members of the Grand Lodge. A resolution was auoptod for the appoint ment of a committee to revise the consti tution and by-laws, and report at the next dnnual session. The committee was fixed at five. 1 An appropriation of $2OO was made to provide a suitable testimonial for the re tiripg Qrand Master, P. B, Long. A motion to bold the next annual session at' Bellefonte was laid on the table by a very large vote. During the afternoon session a resolution Rettiug forth in consequence of the Grand Lodge of the United Stales holding its next THE LAyOASTERWEMat prg?ELLIGENOER WEPISTESPA-IT, MAY 26, 1869. annual session in San Fran the Increased expense Incurred thereby, an ap propriation of $lOO be made to each of our Representatives was adopted. A resolution "providing that no new Lodge shall be instituted, nor those now existing be allowed to.work unless they procure all the regalia and jewels prescrib ed by the Grand Lodge of the United States was read and ordered to belaid on the table.

Sixteen Past Grands were then admitted to membership, making in all over three hundred during the present session. Past Grand Sire Nicholson, assisted by Grand Representatives Lamberton and Simpson, proceeded to exemplify the secret work of the Order. An appropriation of $5O to the Financo Committee was made ; also£one of $3O to enable the Grand to repair and reframo the charter of the Grand Lodge. The report of the Grand Secretary and Grand Treasurer were then read. The lat ter showed a balance of $5,000 credited to the Orphans’ Asylum fund, which, by a subsequent resolution, w T as ordered to be invested in State or City loans. Representatives Curtis, Sheppard, I)et ternne, Kunzigand Johnson were appoint ed as the Committee to frumo a Constitu tion for the government of liebekah Degree Lodges.

After some further business, the Grand Lodge adjourned sine die. No action to the contrary b*-ing h *d. the next annual session will bo held in Phila delphia. Foreign A'pwh. GUKAT BRITAIN London May I!).—The Times to-day con tinues to discuss the relations of Great Bri tain and the United Stales. -After tracing the feeling of the Americans towards Eng laud in past times, and the conduct of Eng land during the late rebellion, it says: “ Americans know that the conduct was intended to be void of otl'ence. If private opinions or sympathies are to he made the subject of international litigation, the Americans must consider what counter charges they are liable to. in a cause so founded, the wiser course would be to put aside such matters, and coniine tho nego tiations to allairs within the cognizance of public law.” 'J’ho Telegraph also pursues the same theme, it.-ays: Having made our proles!, we may he well eontontlo wail. !l is un desirable to leave tho question op,si, hut in the present condition of American h-oling, no possibility ofuHpeody and satisfactory settlement is upparent. Beyond ibodusiro to act justly, this country has no interest in conehiding a convention, save that such agreement might protect our commerce bcrcul'ior from hucJi depredations as those committed by the Aluhama. A convention not cordially accepted by tho Americans as a full discharge of their supposed grievances would lie valueless, amt the execution of such a compact, it made at tho present time, would bo exceedingly doubtful. An honest ami faithful exposition ofUio views of each nation wii! pavo (Jib way to coueilliution and settlement. Duum n, May I!)—An ugly riot has taken place in Tralee. It commenced in a light between two mobs. Tho police interfered, whan tho opposing crowd* joined against tho police, and threatened to overpower thorn. Tho latter were compelled to use their firearms, and discharged several rounds from revolvers and muskets into tho crowd with fatal effect. ' (hie rioter was instantly killed and several wounded. Of tho police, three were wounded, one of whom is not expected to recover. The mob dispersed soon after the firing commenced, but not before several rioters bail boon se cured and taken to the station. A number of arrests have been made of men Jpromi nont in ihu disturbance.- Tho town is now quiet, London, May 19.—Theanniversury of the I’eaco Society was hold to-day. Resolves wore adopted regretting the rejection of the Alubumu Claims treaty; hoping,iflhostates mcn of the-two countries are unablo to grapple with tho emergency, that the reasou and Christianity of the two great Anglo- Saxon nations may interpose to prevent war ; and rejoicing in the activity and ear nestness of peace societies in America. Paris, May 19.— Mr, Burlingamehas laid before the French Minister of Foreign A Hairs Lhopreliminariesofa treaty between Cliinu and Franco, similar to that negotia ted with Great Britain. Tho Chinese Lega tion expect to conclude the negotiations with llio French Government before tho end of next mouth, aud will probably leave Paris about the Hist prox. ENGLAND. London, May I!).—Advices from Hong Kong to April 2Slh have been received. A placard had been extensively posted throughout tho Empire denouncing Chris tian Missionaries in violent terms. It was rumored that a Chinese ollicial of high rank iu Rokin, in a lit of anger, slapped the French Ambassador in the face, and that tho flag over tho French Legation lmd been 1 muled down. The Chinese Government was very uneasy in consequence. There aro fears of further encroachment on Chi nese territory by the Russians. London, May 22.—The Pall Mall Gazette, an independent newspaper, has a leading article on the Alabama claims question. Thu writer says : “ \Vhatevor England did in respect to tho Americans, Franco did, and ten times more ; lor nothing but our refusal of her invitation to recognize the Southern Confederacy saved tho North from a more trying and doubtful contest.” 'Hie Weekly Spectator (Whig), published to-day, also discusses the question, and says: “the trulhs told by Mr. Foster, an old and staunch friend of America, must teach the Americans how universal resis tance would he if Mr. Sumner’s demands wore seriously pressed.” One of the largest mootings ever assem bled was held iu Belfast, lrelaud, to-day, to protest against the disestablishment of the Irish ' Church. It is estimated that nearly -t>,ooo peoplo were present. London, May 22.—Tbe Times of this morning has another editorial on tho Ala bama question, suggested by the recent Hpeech of Mr. Forster. Tho Times says Eng land has equal cause of complaint against America. Grout Britain resisted the temp tation to recognize the South, thereby in flicting sufferings on her own people, dis obliging an ally, und, in fact, declared in favor ot the North, and is now misunder stood ami accused ofhostility and selfish ness. Sir Francis Heud had communica ted several additional official documents to prove that assistance was extended by America to the Canadian revolt in 1837, I and a.sserisin his letter accompanying the document that Mr. .Sumner’s language ap plies to thutcaso as well as to tho case of the Alabama, but thnt the English govern ment never rocoived nor claimed indem nity. Paris, May 23.—General’Dix to-day had an audience with tho Emperor, at which he introduced Mr. Washburueus his succossor, and took formal leave of his Majesty. Mr. Wushburuo then presented his credentials. The general election for members of tho Corps Logistatif commenced to-day.

Madrid, May 22.— Tho Republican news papers of this city assert that the recent vole of the Cories has only deferred the scheme for a Fedornl republic, and has not defeated It, and tlmt a republic must come, sooner or later, for want of a monarch und the absence of unanimity on the part of the majority iu lho Cortes. Isabella has pro posed to abdicate in favor of her son, the Prince of Asturias, against the advice of Gonzales Bravo, her former Priino Minis ter, and others. Denmark. London, May 22.—The rejection of tho troaty for the safe of the island of St. Thomas by thoUuilod States Senate causes much irritation at Copenhagen. London, May 23. —The difficulty with tho Chinese government, arising out of the per secution of Christians in the North, has boon settted. The latest despatches from the British legation at Pekin state that the mandarin who countenanced the persecu tions has been removed from office. The steamer China has arrived at San Francisco with advices from Hong ICong to April 19, aud from Yokohama to April 30. The Mikado had gone to Yeddo to meet a Congress of the Japanese Princes, The re port that several leading Daitnios had sur rendered their territories and sovereign rights was coutirmed. The Mikado's fleet wus expected to attack Hakodadi, which was still rebellious. Yeddo was Btiil prac tically closed to commerce. The American Minister to China had been making a tour ot the Southern provinces. A severe drought prevailed in tho neighborhood of Pekin. • , Marvelous Inanstry. It is scarcely necessary at this day to say anything in praise of Webster's Unabridged Quarto Dictionary, 1840 pages, and 3000 en gravings. llaving come into possession of a copy of the latest edition, we cannot re frain from expressing our admiration at the mai'velous industry and learning whiou such a book must have called into demand. In the book line, this Dictionary deserves a place amongst the triumphs of the century. T?he publishers’ parUof this ponderous voi umne has been done with abeauty and sub stantialness which also deserve special com mendation. “Reading the Dictionary,” with this edition of Webster before you, is exceedingly interesting pastime. A copy of it must certainly be considered to belong to the appointments of every intelligent fami ly. Its cost Is $l2, but it is oheap at that price.— Mortwiad, pal iuMHfletwc. The Diagnothian Anniversary.— Notwithstanding the disagreeable weather a large audience assembled at Fulton 'Hall on Friday evening to witness the literary exercises incident to the celebration by the Dia nr nothian Literary Society of Franklin ; and Marshall College of its 34th Anniver sary. The platform was occopied by the Faculty of the College and the orators of the ovening, and was very plainly but hand somely decorated. Back of the speakers an American flag was tastefully displayed, while on the right was placed the Mexico, and on the left that of Chili. Why the flags of these countries should be so honored by the Diagnothiana we do not understand. Mexico and Chili are to say the least, but miserable representatives of Republicanism, and the association of their national flags with the stars and stripes of our country is not very complimentary to the great American Dation. At half-past 7 o’clock the orators of the occasion, pre ceded by the Faculty of the College, marched into the hall and took the seats provided for their accommQdation on the platform. An appropriate prayer was then made by the Rev. C. H. Forney, of this city. Mr. Walter M. Franklin, of this city, ; pronounced a Prologue written for the oc casion by Rev. J. 11. A. Dubba, A. M. Mr. Franklin in the delivery of the Prologue acquitted himself very well, and tho poet who composed it can have the satisfaction of knowing that his lines lost none of their intrinsic worth by a defective rendition. In the Prologue the public were in an appro priate manner welcomed to the intellectual feast prepared for them by the Society. “The Irrepressiblo Conflict” was tho theme of un oration by Mr. D. B. Lady, Arendtsville, Pa. Mr. -Lady spoke at length of the conflict going on in the world of Nature ; but he stated that tho conflict in the moral world is still more grand. The magnitude of the struggle between light and darkness, between Truth ana\Error, was described in well written sentences. Mr. Lady’s voico is, however, not well adapted for public speaking and he did not in its delivery do justice to his oration. Mr, L. is a better writer than speaker. Will. Übler Hensel, of Quarryville, this county, had for tho subject of his oration, “ The Coining Woman.” Tho speaker re ferred in eloquent terms to the high posi tion that woman now occupies socially ; he traced tho growth of this respect for her through the age of chivalry down to the present time. Previous to the age of chival ry women comparatively held a low posi tion—the sword of tiie true knight of that age of romance and love gave the first im petus toward placing her in the high social position she now occupies. But woman's true sphere was not to be found in her ex ercising the right of suffrage, and in taking pari in the political contests of the present day. Her mission is a far higher and purer one than this; her sphere of useful ness is at the iireside where her example is potent for good. If she cannot buckle on the armor of hor country and go forth to battle in its defence she can nevertheless teach iier sons to do so. Unfortunately in the midst of Mr. Hen sel’s oration he failed to remember it und, after a short pause in which ho endeavored to recall it, he made his bow to the audience and took his scut. Tho ludies present evi dently sympathized with him in the ex pression of liis sound views on the woman rights question, as many beautiful bouquets were given him. After music by tho Bund Mr. Hensel was called upon by the audi ence to finish his oration. In-compliance with tho demand he essayed to do so but, after delivering a few sentences, his memory was again at fuult and lie was cnmpoUed to take ins seat. It was unfortunate that Mr. Hensel was unable to remember tho words of his ora tion. Ilwus a finely written production ami I tad it been properly commuted would have boon one of tho very best features of the evening. Mr. Hensel has a clear, ex cellent voice nml’un agreeable manner of speaking. Wo trust that on the next occa sion ho speaks in public he will do lull jus lico to his lino natural, abilities as a public speaker. “ The American Mechanic” was the sub ject ol an address by Jas. It, Patterson, of this city. The speaker very truthfully re marked that labor is not dishonorable—it is ennobling. Tho American Mechunic has many eluims to consideration and deserves to occupy a high position in lids freo land. The monuments of his skill present them selves on every hand, and tho groat achieve ments of tho present century are the results of his thoughtful toil. The speaker remarked that the destinies of our country are always safe when in the care of the bravo mechanics of our Republic. Mr. Patterson possesses,a good voico and is gracoful in his gesticula tion ; lie acquitted himself very creditably. ' Mr. Jos. A. Reed, Bedford, Pa.,delivered a well written eulogy on Sir Win. Wallace, ‘‘The Champion of Scotland.” The eulogy was well written aud well delivered. The i history of tho distinguished Scottisii hero, ; who defeuded the independence of his coun try against tho unprincipled invasion of Edward 1, of England, was eloquently re cited. The deeds of his heroism were well narrated, and the dauntless character of tho patriotic Wallace, who would nevor surrender his country’s independence, w’as eloquently eulogized. The execution ol'the gallant Scot was finely described and a fit ting allusion was made to the brave inan mer in which he suffered death, under every circumstance of ignominy and cru elty, at the hands of his tyrannical captors. Mr. Geo. F. Rosenmillor, of this city, dis cussed the subject of “Chinese Citizenship” in nn entertaining and original manner. Mr. 11. regarded the question of the future citizenship of the Chinese* as one of great importance to the American peoplo. Large them are ut present in Califor nia where they form an important element of the population. The speaker referred to their religion, which is that of Buddhism, and showed its inconsistency with the Christian Religion which prevails iu this country. Hence he argued that unless they adopt the Christian Religion they must remain ineligible to tho right of sufl'ruge in this country. As loug ns they are Pagans i they cannot take an oath, ntid for this reason they are tumble to be qualified to tho truth of any statement they may be required to make in order to attain citi zenship under our laws. Mr. Rosenmiller’s views with reference to the Chinese were evidently arrived at after eareful consider ation, and his speech evidenced much thought in its preparation. Mr. R. is a fine speaker ; ho was readily heard by all pres ent, and made one of tho best speeches of the evening. The subject being one of interest to all present his address was listened to with marked attention. " Modern Superstition ’’ was tho subject of an oration by Daniel 11. Wiugord, Green castle, Pa. Mr. W. spoke of the prevailing superstitions of tho present day. He said that many of them were at present unac countable, but ho believed tlmt the subsequent investigations of scientific men would unravel their mysteries and make tho strange uuTl wiord perfectly comprehensible. Tho mystery of Pluu chette was alluded to and different theories for its queer movements were suggested. Tho speaker thought that electricity had much to do with the strange and mysteri ous phenomena tlmt sometimes wore man ifested in apparent opposition to the laws that govern the action of matter. Mr. Wingord selected a subject ol interest ami did not fall in presenting it in au ’attractive manner to his auditors. Anniversary Address—subject, “Colored (Busses,” N. /.. Snyder, Milford Square, Pa. The orator romurkod tlmt in looking through glasses colored differently very different views would bo lmd of tho same landscape by persons. Those who would view tho scene through yellow glasses would havo quite a different impression respecting it than would other Individuals looking at lho same landscape through green or blue glasses. The different medium through which ia obtained a view of lho object would mako tho same objoct appear very differently.— So in tho mental world our views of matters and things aro very much in fl uenced by tho medium through which wo look at them ; all views uro changed by the education of lho observer. In order to ob tain a perfectly fair view of questions a man must raise himself above surround ings ; ho must freo himself from all that would color his mental vision. All the groat Reformers had to raise lliemselveH above the prejudices of tho age in which they lived, in order to have a correct view of things. Every body thinks he is right in his views respecting politics und reli gion because ho lias boon educated, per haps, to look at things through “ glasses of a certain color but in order to form cor rect ideas of opinions differing from our own we must lift ourselves right into the places of those whose views wo judge, and look at them from that standpoint. Nothing is more easy than sweeping asser tions,' yet how difficult bftentimes such as sertions aro to substantiate. The laws aud customs of one people cannot be very well judged by those of another nation, who are differently situated. There is a wonderful amount of truth in the saying “circum stances alter cases.” Mr. Snyder’s remarks were mtulo in a tone of voice sufficiently loud to be heard in every portion of the hall and he was listen ed to with groat attention. The audience was dismissod with Lhe benediction by the Rev. Tbeo. Appel, A. M. The exercises of the evening were en liyened with music by the City Cornet Band, The Diagnothiana may justly feel complimented by the presence of an unusu ally large audience, all of whom were com fortably seated through the able raanage- ment and courteous attention of tho Com mittee of Arrangements. As is usual, when such entertainments occur, the beauty aud fashion of our city was out in full force. The Spring dresses, with their bright colors, und the dainty bonnets with their fresh flowers lent a very attractive appearance to the quiet and interested au dience. Theodor distilled by multitudes of boquets filled the hall with delicate per fume, aud the many favors of thnt kind which the different sneakers received show ed that the ladies at least fully appreciated thoir powers of pleasing. The New Registry Lists.— On the first Monday in June the several Assessors of the city and county will commence making up the list of voters as required by the new registry law passed by the last. State Legis lature. Our readers will bear in mind that under this act the Assessors are required to record the occupation, residence, employ er’s name, whether naturalized or not, be sides many other questions bearing upon their right to vote. It will be well for all to be prepared to answer these queries as much time and trouble will be thereby avoided to all concerned. Adjourned Court op Quarter Ses sions.—An adjoomed Court of Quarter Sessions met on Monday morning; Judges Long and Libhart present. The trial of the case of Com’th vs. Henry Snow, of Columbia, indicted for assault aud bat tery with intent to commit rape was com menced. The prosecutrix was Mrs. Bridget Harvey. The defendant. Snow, was also charged with stealing a $lO bill from her. On trial. Monday Aftemoon —The trial of tbe case of Com’th vs. Henry Snow, indicted for robbery and for assault and battery, with intent to commit rape, was continued dar ing the early part of the afternoon session. The facts of the case as related by the wit nesses for prosecution are as follows: Bridget Harvej&the prosecutrix, a married woman, some 50 years of age, and the mother of eleven children, follows peddling lace, stockings, &c. On the oth of March last, between 4 and 5 o’clock in the after noon, she was crossing the bridge over the river at Columbia, between .Wrightsville and Columbia, and was approaching the latter place, and when near the centre of the bridge she was met by the defendant, Henry Snow, who seemed to be somewhat intoxicated and was bareheaded. Snow first asked Bridget which was the York county end of the bridge, and then demand ed her money. She answered she had none. Snow then seized her and put his hand in her pocket and next in her bosom, where he found her purse, which contained $lO. After having robbed her of her money the witness stated that Snow knocked her down and attempted to outrage her per son, and to throw hejr off the bridge into tbe river. She resisted bim for some time and as he was about to accomplish his purpose the,watchman of tho bridge fortu nately approached them. Upon seeing that Mr. Gontler, the watchman, had heard Mrs. Harvey’s cries for help and had com menced running toward them Snow j um j ©d up aud commenced running toward ihe west end of the bridge. But being closely followed by those who were in pursuit of him he jumped on board a passenger train, that was crossing over to Columbia. He asked the conductor, Mr. Long, what the fare was to Ne\v York and also said that he had paid bis fare as far as the east end of the bridge; on arriving in Columbia he went to a bat store to buy a hat and while in said store was arrested. He w r as then identified at the Magistrate’s olfice by Mrs. Harvey as the man who had robbed and maltreated her. Several witnesses wore called whose testimony was corroborative of Mrs. Har vey’s statement. The deteuse called several witnesses to prove that the defendant, Snow’, had previous to tbe time of the commission of the alleged outrage sustained a pretty fair character, aud that lie was so much in toxicated that he did not know what he was doing when he assaulted Bridget. H. Clay Brubaker and Dial. Att’y Brubaker for prosecution ; R. W. Siienk and Rea for defense. The jury, after considering their verdict for some two hours, returned a verdict of not guilty as to tho charge of robbery but one of guilty as to the charge of assault and battery with attempt to commit rape—and recommended tho prisoner to the mercy of the Court. The Court remarked that tho offence was one of tho most aggravated character, aud that thero were no extenuating circum stances eouueclod with it, and therefore sentenced Snow to undergo an imprison ment of four yours in the Couuty Prison. A desertion case was next hoard m which Mrs. Charlotte While accused her husband, Israel White, of Springville, this county, of having deserted her iu Fobruary last, and of having since that time failed to provide for her maintenance and that of their child some S years of age. She desired that ho bo made to give bail for her maintenance. Tho Court heard the teolimuny of Mr. and Mrs. White—tho parties most Interested—and also that of several witnesses. And, as Mr. White said that ho was now and ever hud been willing to provide for Charlotte, the Court directed that tho County paytliecosts and that the parlies “ go home together and live peaceably as man und wife should.” District Attorney Brubukor and S. 11.

Hambright, of ibis city, indicted for the larceny oflflitfis of but ter and a basket containing the sumo ; said butter having been stolen on tho 10th of February last from a market'stall in this city. Tho butler aud basket it was alleged belonged to Mr. Geo. Trout, who was at tending market on the day above mention ed. On trial. Tuesday Morning.— The trial of Samuel C. Hambright, charged with stealing 1 1'Z pounds of butter and a basket from Geo. Trout, of East Ilempfield Iwp., oil tho morning of the 10th of February lust, was resumed. Tho butter was alleged to havo been tuken from a market stall where Mr. Trout lmd left it while ho went to Cooper’s Hotel to put his horse away. The basket and.butter were subsequently found by Mr. Trout at the grocery store of Mr v Frank Stahl, at tho corner of Orange and Prince streets, and was identified as his basket aud butter, A son of Mr. Stahl testified that defendant brought the butter to the grocery. Mr. Frank Stahljlhe father, could not posi tively swear that defendant brought the stofen butter to his grocery. The defense alleged that another party stole tho butter, and called defendant’s father, mother and sister to show that de fendant was at home in bed on the morn ing the alleged larceny took place. Jury out. Samuel C. Hambright, the same defend ant as above, was also tried for another larceny of Li pounds of butter from Mr. Christian Herr, of West Lampeter twp. This lot of butler was also taken from Cooper'a Hotel on the morning of the 10th of February last. The butter was subse quently found at Stahl’s grocery store, w’hero it was alleged ibo defendant had taken it to sell. Mr. Herr said he imme diately identified the butter as his when lie saw it at Stahl’s grocery. It was alleged that w’hen defendant w’us at the grocery he had on a blue army overcoat arid a white slouch hat. Mr. Cooper testified that ho had seen Hambright at his hotel with such a blue overcoat on. The defense called tbe father of the de fendant, also defendant's mother, sister and brother to prove that he was at home w’heu tho theft took place, andcould not therefore possibly be guilty of tbe larceny. S. 11. Reynolds and Price for defence; District Attorney Brubaker aud Rea for prosecu tion. Suddkx Death. —We regret to loarn of the sudden death of Mr. John A. Boyd, an old citizen of Drumoro twp., this county. Mr. Boyd was for many years a merehaut at Fail field, in Drumoro twp., but some years ago lie sold out his store aud property at that village and purchased a farm near Liberty Square. Recently be ;reuted his farm ami commenced boarding [at bis old place of residence, Fairfield, where his duath occurred. It is’btuted tba r ho went to bed apparently in usual good health, about ten o'clock Saturday evening, and was found there in the morning, a corpse, Mr. Boyd was about sixty-live years old at the time of his death. He has been for many years a subscriber for the Intelligen cer, and a consistent and intelligent adher ent to the great principles oflhe Democratic parly. His sudden death is sincerely re gretted by hia numerous friends and rela ives. A ItEMAHKAni.ti Lady.— The S]>y says that Mrs. Funny Forrey, living in West Heuiplield township, Lancaster county, is now approaching her ninety-fifth year. She is in excellent health ; works übout the house.every day; has only one assistant. Her eye-sight is good, as she roads the smallest print without spectacles, and her intellect is not the least impaired. She is a lively and industrious woman, extensively/ known in this county, and bids fair to live many years yet. HerJ husband,[John For rey died some thirty years ago. She was born, and has always lived In tho auovo miuiod township, never having a desire to disconnect herself from her old homo, fam ily ties and friends. Assessor’s Appointments.— J. P. Ren, Esq., Assessor of Internal Re von ue for this county, has appointed Jacob Martin as clerk in pluco of Amos Rowe, und C. F. Kbormun to bo Assistant Assessor of the 2d Division, in place of Jeremiah Whitson. Messrs. Martin and Eberruan were lately employed in tho post office of this city. The new Assessor has also appointed Daniel E. Potts, of Strasburg, Assistant Assessor for 10th Division, in place of Samuel L. Kauff man, resigned; and Jos. McGowan, of Salisbury twp., Assistant Assessor for the 9ih Division, in place of Thomas Greist, re signed. These, with the appointment of H. R. Bronemun, of this city, as Assistant Assessor of the Ist Division, in place of R. J. Houston, resigned, which has been here tofore announced, are, we believe, the only changes thus far made by Capt. Rea since he has taken charge of the Assessor’s office.— Express. Pennsylvanians Coming.— Six gentle men from Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, were at the Olive Street Hotel on Saturday, having come directly to this State to pur chase lands, intending to come to Missouri to reside. They represented some forty persons in their families, were substantial farmers and manufacturers, with abundant capital to purchase farms and erect such factories as they may desire. Two of them propose to start the manufacture of agricul tural implements on a large Beale at some eligible point in the State. Should they locate, as they expect to do, a number of families will follow them at once, and probably sixty to eighty families from the same county within a year. These pioneers are reputable, well-to-do citizens, and will be a substantial acquisition to any commu nity in which they settle.— St. Louis liepub • lican.

Prolific Cow,—We are informed that a cow belonging to Mr. Samuel Landis, who resides near this city, in East Lampeter twp., gave birth to three calves in one day last week. Last spring she gave birth to twins, and consequently has had five calves within the last year. The three calves re cently born are doing well, and together with the cow are in a flourishing condition. Doable Apple Blossoms. Accompanying I send you something rare—double apple blossoms. As you will notice they are very double, being equally os much so as any rose, and resembling very much a small flower of that beantifal species. An apple tree of the smokehouse variety, which is now full of small apples, is blooming thedeconritime this season, and wbat is the moat singular, is that ail the blossoms are double, like those I sent you. Lancaster, May 24,1869. U. S. The blossoms which accompanied the above communication were indeed very double and very pretty, and did look very much like a small cluster of roses of the variegated multifloral variety. In a con versation with a horticultural friend on this anbject;this afternoon, we find that thisfioral phenomenon has occarred at other places in this county this season, nevertheless, it is rather uncommon. Two. years ago Mr. Thos. Grieves, of this city, sent us a peach branch so full of blossoms that very little of ths wood could be seen, forming indeed a sort of floral pompoon, all the flowers on which werejyery double, and almost of pure white, which is something nnusual in peach blossoms. These phenomena are doubtless effects of pre-existing or incidental causes, but what those causes are precisely, may not be so easily determined. A gentleman of intelligence, and large ex perience In these matters, suggests that from previous failures, or some other to , tingeucy,trees and shrubs may have become j surcharged with the infloreseing princple, I and may thus develop their blossoms at un | unusual season and in nnusual profusion, j Some apple trees the present season were checked in their floral development, at the normal period, by cold, rainy weather, and hence, undermore favorable circumstances, the iDfloresciug principle was abnormally I stimulated and the development above al- ! luded to,took place. This effect is produced ; by floriculturists, artificially, in roses, ' pansies, petunias, chrysanthemums, olean ders, tulips, and many other flowering shrubs and plants. We have seeu flower- ; ing plants “pinched back” and retarded ! in their flowering periods, until they threw l out a large number of “ laterals,” each of : which, somewhat later in the season, pro duced an increased number of flowers, aud of increased corollial or petalial|density and : beauty—indeed forming a Bort of natural 1 bouquet—whereas, if uninterrupted, they j would only have produced a few flowers, I on long and widely extended branches. All 1 other circumstances being favorable, the ! flowering principle in plauls may be ; checked or retarded, but it cannot be utterly | destroyed, without destroying the plant it- | self. Tho common apple (Pyrus Malax 1 Limo) belongs to the order Itosacc ce, or j Hosoworts, aud the ant-order Pomcie : and ! is therefore remotely allied to thojrosejj although, except ia a very general sense, ; botauicallv speaking, it cannot be consid- , ered as belonging to tbe roso Family, the more immediate family affiuities, iu mod ern botany, being more directly expressed, by divisions called sub-orders. To define precisely the position tho apple occupies iu its order, und the relation it bears to other imlividiuds in tho same order, wo may mention that some Botauists divide the order lios\:a> into five sub-orders, and others into three, at least so far hs American speeXes are concerned. Dr. Gray has three, namely : 1. Amygdalae or Almond family; which includes the peaches, apricots, nectarines, cherries and plums, both wild und domesticated, in all their varieties and species. 2. Rosacea: proper, tho true Rose family, which, in cludes, in addition to theondless variety of roses; also, the blackberry, raspberry, strawberry, sweelbrler, silver-weed, mead ow-sweet, steeple-bush, und a host of others in all their varieties. 3. Pumciu, or Apply and Pear family ; which ineludos tho huw thornes, haw's, cockspurs, June-borrios, apples, pears, quincos, chokoberrios and others. From tho foregoing it will bo seen that this order brings within it a great number of herbs, trees und shrubs, seeming very diverse in their habits ami appear ances; but, with a floral umformity that pervades aud gives character to the whole series. We uro instructed that the “ very double” character of the various roses bus been produced from tho plain wild species by cultivation, and we may infer that the same physical laws uro applicable to tho apple, wuether incidentally ur as the result of special culture. Dead Man Found. —The body of au un known man was found, on Wednesday morning tho 19th instant, near the resi dence of Mr. John Hiestand, about hulf a mile west of Landisville, in East Hempfield township. The body when discovered was found lying on the stdo of the turnpike, and was still warm, indicating that death lmd ensued but a short tirno previous. A tele gram was sent to this,city for Corunor Geo, Loonurd, who (immediately proceeded to Landisville and hold an inquest upon the body. We aro indebted to Coronor Leonard for tho following facts respecting the de ceased : Tho deceased wusa man appai onlly seventy or seventy-live years of uge, hair quite gray with ago, eyes gray, no beard excepting a was also grey. Tho deceased had on coat, pants, and vest made of dark cloth, and they wore ail con siderably worn. Upon flis person was found au ordinary leather pocket book con taining one dollarjlund ninety '.cents in money, an old fashioned heavy “ Bull’s eye” silver watch, an ordinary pocket knife with three blades—one large, the two oth ers small and both of the small ones broken —to the w’atcli was attached a heavy brass chain upon which was a steel watch-key. In tho pocket book was a piece of paper with an inscription in German written upon lt;but written in such an illegible man ner that it was impossible to make any thing out of it. A dead latch key of iron was also found upon the deceased. At the time the body was found thejwateh was not running but it has siuce been wound up and apparently keeps good time. The deceased was about 5 feet 8 inches in height and was well;built. Up on close examination, Dr. Compton, the physician in attendance at the inquest was unable to discover a»y signs of violence upon tbe deceased, nor were there any traces ;of his having taken poison. Tho jury accordingly rendered as their verdict that “ the cause of the death of thu.deccased was to them unknown.” No one has as yctflbeen able to identify the body which has been brought to tho alms house, in thiß city, for interment. A gentleman residing not far from where tbe body was discovered says that ho noticed on Tuesday the deceased in companyiwith another person pass along the turnpike aud that the deceased then had in his possession, a carpet bag ; but as no carpet bag or bun dle was found near the body it is doubtful whether the deceased was the same person seen by the gentleman. The most .prob able theory is that the deceased was a pro fessional beggar and that his deatli was caused by heart disease or by an apoplec tic fit. Among the Printers of Lancaster.— Tho editurs of the Reading Daily Fugle thus speaks of the late visit to the printers of Lancaster : We paid a visit to Lancaster last week. Wo met there the proprietors of the Lancas ter Intelligencer, the Yolksfrcund. and a number of esteemed friends. We also visited the different newspaper offices. The printing offices are not excelled by any in the State. They are pleasantly located in tho very heart of the city, well lighted and ventilated. The job offices of the Inquirer , Express, Intelligencer aud Yolksfrcund, em ploy a large number of hands audßurn off a largo quantity of very handsome work. Mr. Wylie, who has in charge tho press room of the Inquirer job office, is thoroughly posted in all the details connected with printing presses, and keeps all the macbirtx_ ery in the very best order; very few print ing officeshaving as good aud au competent a pressman. Harry Smith, Esq., one of tho ablo and gonial editors of tho Intelligencer, has lately returned from an extended tour in the South, and any one desiring information rospoctlng in Virginia should call on him. There is considerable building going on iu Lancaster, and the business in the city is fully up to the averago staudard of former years. We clip the following from an Exchange which will bo of interest to our readers : An Adventurer Come to Grief.— Our citizens will recollect n certain “eye doctor” who called himself Dr. Miller (or Muller} and who, with uvery beautiful woman be called his wife, stopped for a while in our town and performed several operations. Ho was a loud,-talking consequential Individu al, who by many persons was looked upon as a swindler. Through a translation from a German paper, made by Capt. Heist, we learn that he is now under sentence of death for the killing of a Druggist, in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and his reputed wife (in fact a lightlady from Washington) under sentence oi twenty years confinement in the peniten tiary of the State. Miller, accompanied by his paramour assaulted and wounded his victim, in the store of the latter, who jump ed through tbe glass door and fell dead on the pavement.

We oiler this machine still at the low price of 8200. and when n farmer Is ottered a first* clans >owc-rand BeiMtnKlug Reaper Combin ed at this price, It Is well for him to examine into the merits oft he offer. As a Mower, it has beon tried In the worst kinds of heavy meadow grass and lodged clover, aud has gone through H triumphantly, and we call on our hundreds of customers In Lancaster county and else where to speak a good word for tbo M ARM 11 HELF-RAKE. We claim that this Peif-Rake In heavy tangled fcraln or lodged oats is tbo most simple aud tlllcleui ouo ever luvonled. It is not a new thing, but has been most severe ly tested all over the United Suites, as well as In England and France. Wo think no other one In the market cau fairly compete with u. Heowhat the reporter the great National Reap er trial held at Anburn, New York, by the Now York Agricultural society, says ou pagoll »ud 42. It performed better than wiih exp'-cu d of any Beif-Kako, as It raked off heavy, tangled wet grain. Aud In tuelr lang age Refiners are not built lor so severe a test; they gave it tbo highest mark for perfect work. The VALLEY CHIEF liaslmplotwo-whre!- ed mac-doe,havlngsldedellvery which throws the grain entirely out of the wny of tho team for i he next round. It has a rear cut, a fl mting Unger bar; the guards or Ungers nro made ol t he beat wrought Iron laced vn.h steel. The height of tho cat can be altered with ease while in motion, thus onabllug one to pass obstructions or cut long or short stubble, and the whole ma chine Is bnllt with an eye to convenience,aim* pliclty and durability. Tbit* Machine Is built In Lancaster county, one of the heaviest grusi and wheat growing districts in the United States, and we have had every opportunity of knowing what is wanted. In this machine we , have a combination of a complete Mower with a first-class Belf-Kaking Reaper, thus giving ohr customers a simple, strong and bandy ma chine which two horses can draw with ease. 1 Tease call and see tills machine ut our man ufactory In Mount Joy, Lancaster coauty, Pa., or on D.
