with a shower of leaden hrdl. In the centre,
the Fourteenth Corps held firmly its ground
and was ready to advance, but Ibe wings
had been broken and scattered. At length
the enemy’s tire began to slaoken, and Gen.
Thomas, apprised of the disasters on other
parts of the Held, fell back. During the
night he retired tour or live miles to the
neighborhood of Rosavillo, and on the night
of the 21st. wrapping the wheols of the ar
tillery with shelter tents, withdrew without
molestation to Chattanooga. The Twentieth
and Twenty-first Corps were already in line
in front of the town, and the dispositions
were soon made which rendered its occupa
tion secure, the two wings resting on the
river. The Seventy-ninth entered the bat
tie with Hpventeou officers and three bun
dred and fifty men, of whom sixteen were
killed, sixty-six wounded, and forty-seven
missing, an aggregate of one hundred and
twenty-nine Captain Lewis Heidegger
was among tho killed, and Lieut. Frederick
Strasbaugh mortally wounded.
The enemy IramediitWly invested the
town, and cut all communications, except
by mountain paths. Tho army hooh be
gun to suffer for want of food, the animals
dying by thousands from starvation, Ueu
orul Hooker with two corps of the Army
of the Potomac finally arrived, and under
tho skillful loauershlp of Genoral Grunt,
who hud now superseded Rosccransln chief
command, tho river was openod and sup
plies began to bo received, but in insuffici
ent quantities, and tbo men wero still
obliged to subsist on short rations. On the'
UJJd, 21th and Hath of November the battles
of Lookout Mountain anil Missionary
Ridge wero fought, which drove tho enemy
In disuslor from our front. While those
buttles wero in progress the .Seventy-ninth
win posted in the forts around C'haUanougu
and was not ongaged.
On the ikh of February, J.BOl, two hun- ,
dred and sixty-fivo of the regiment re-on- i
listed, and were mustered in on the 12lli. |
On tho 22J, instead of tho veteran furlough
as was anticipated, the regiment wus or
dered to move with tho division to Tunnel
llill, lieldjby tho enemy. Forming iinool
1m file us it came up with the hostile force,
it udvuncod under fire, and Hanking the
position compellod its abandonment. Tho '
enemy retired to Buzzard's Roost, whoru 1
be was in strong force, well posted to resist ;
attack. After reconnoitring it, the com
mand fell buck without assaulting, passing ;
Tunnel Hill and encamping at Tyler's Sta
tion, The regiment lost two wounded In
this encounter. Alter a few days delay at
this point, tho veterans received the order |
for their furlough, and leaving Chattanoo
ga on the Hth arrived at Lancaster on tho!
Pith, Kotui'iilng at the expiration of the ‘
furlough, they found the brigade lying in
front of the enemy at itu/./.anl’s Roost, and
at 1 o’clock, I*. M,, on tho‘.Oh of
more moved Into line. Thu campaign
on Atlanta was now fully inaugurated, 1
mid the regiment prepared to breast thu
storm of buttle, which continued to rage
with little interruption unul that strong
hold of rebellion hud I'uilon. .Shortly after
gulling into position Col. Hambright was
struck by a fragment of Hindi, which disabled .
him, and Major Locher succeeded to the
command. Ontholllh the regiment was
on the skirmish line and hud cue killed and
Huveral wounded. Tho enemy having ful- 1
lun back, the division moved along thu huso
of St. .lohn's|Mountain, through Snako Gup,
had a brisk skirmish midway bolweun ,
Dalton and Resuca, and arrived at Kosucu I
on the Kith of May. Thu Seventy-ninth |
was here dutuilod to (rolled thu arms and 1
bury tho dead loft upon thu field, Fifteen
hundred stands of arms were gathered, and ;
two hundred and twenty eight of the
enemy’s dead hinied. Soon atterwards,
tho regiment was sent to escort a wagon
train to Aekworth. Tins duly done, it ro
joinud thu brigade, and wus again engaged i
on tho lfilh of June, losing eight men!
wounded. In the operations in front oF
Kenesaw Mountain it was .employed ir:
throwing up works, and in skirmishing,
losing several killed and wounded. In thu .
advance ol Ihe enemy on thu noth, Major
Locher and seven enlisted men wore
wounded, and the command devolved on
Captain J. S. M’P.ride. In connection will) .
Miu Twenty-first <>hio it wus ordered to 1
charge the enemy’s works, and Micceedud
in driving him out, but with a loss of one
killed and sixteen wounded.
Thu onumv now fell buck to bis ini reiicli
»:d lines about Atlanta, ami the operations
to turn him out commenced. I n these the
regiment participated, and, upon tiiu fall !
of thu city, thu division was commended -
for its gallantry in an order Imm Gen. Car- !
bn, in command. After thu occupation of
thu city tin* division was sent bark as far
as Marietta, where it was engaged in re
pairing the railroad, which the enemy had
destroyed. Thu losses during thu entire
Atlanta campaign were six killed, eighty-
Hix wounded, twelve mortally, and two
taken prisoners, an aggregate of ninety
four.
On the Jfilh of November, clothing and
rations having been i-Mied, tho regiment
set forward on the < ireut March to thu Sen.
Tho following brief extract from the record
of its progress will illustrate the general
character of that memorable march : "2 lih

retired wiLlmut ottering serious npp isition,
Al'tur its occupation iLie regiment went into
camp a lew miles Irom lliu city, where sup
plies ot clothing were issued, ami where it
rested for a month.
On thu Isth nf'.lumiury, IS<i.‘>, tho regiment
broke nun[), uml passing through the city,
Hlurtoil with lhi‘ army on thn march north
through the Curolinus. (Jn approaching the
nianU River, on the l.ith of March, it wan
ascertained that thn onnny in force under
Hardee l was in front. 'l'liree days iMuV a
part of the Twentieth Corps had an engage
ment at Swiss Karin, the First Division of
thu Fourteenth Corps being in line, but not
engaged. On the morning of thu I'.Uh the
division, the Third brigade in advance,
moved for Goldsboro. Skirmishing begun
Moon., after leaving camp, and tin* line of
battle was formed as the troops came up.
Thu enemy was found in position and soon
opened briskly. The Seventy-ninth was
posted in support of tie* First Division bat
tery, but. was soon ordered away, three of its
number being wounded as it passed. A line ;
of work's was hastily thrown up and a i
charge ordered to develop the enemy’s !
strength. The Seventy-ninth was of the J
charging column. H moved boldly up to :
within thirty yards of the rebel works, ;
when receiving a murderous lire, and tlio
supporting regiment giving way, it was
forced to yield. The charge had boon made
along the entire line, lint was repulsed at
every point with heavy loss. Soon after,
tliu division was Hanked, and the rebels
swarming in behind the works drove regi
ment after regiment towards the right.—
The Seventy-ninth held the extreme right
of the division, and the enemy now in
Hunk and rear had readied the line of the
brigade. Quickly changing front to meet
the advancing foe, tho regiment charged,
encountering a terrific tire, by hard tight
,ing the brigade held thu ground until
the troops in rear hud thrown up
hroastworks, when it retired. During tli*
night the works were strengthened and se
curely established. In this engagement
known as the battle of bontonville, the
loss was thirteen killed and forty-six
wounded. Lieut. Col. Miles, in command
of the brigade, was among the wounded.
On the 22d the command moved to Gnhls
boro, whore the regiment received two hun
dred recruits. From Goldsboro it moved
to Kalcigh, and thence to Martha's Vine
yard, wtn*ru it was encamped when news
was received that General .Johnston hail
surrendered, and the war was practically
at an ond. At quick step and with light
hearts, the division marched via Richmond
to the neighborhood of Washington, where
on the 12th of July, the regiment was mus
tered out of service.

Tho general ticket agent of tho Central
Pacitio Railroad of California announces
that no pro rata tickets unr coupons issued
by any other railroad will bo received by
that road, and that the passengnr fare wiil
bo tun cents per mile in gold. If this be a
correct statement of tho policy of this road,
then it is but another-illustration of the
'heartlossucss and shortsightedness of mo-
There is uo excuse for any such
rates of fare. In the first place, the road
hits not cost the stockholders one dollar. It
has been built by the money of the nation.
The Central Pacific Railroad Company Ims
builtsix hundred and ninety miles ot road,
aud tho Government hits issued to it bonds
to the amount of s2:l,JtM,ouo. It has re
ceived iu addition a donation of pub
lic laud which at this moment is
worth in cash S2O,OOU,oiH), muking a
total subsidy of JO-1,000, or over $152,000
per mile. In addition to this tho company
lias issued bonds to the amount of $2:5,01)0,-
000, for which it has mortgaged thejroad.—
The stockholders have in one way or other
apportioned among themselves a very large
portion of this sum, perhaps $12,000,000 or
$15,000,000. This distribution of profits hus
takon place even before the completion of tho
road. In thu meantime the company has
'refused or neglected to pay the iutorest on
Its bonds. The road itself Ims been con
structed in a very loose manner, nnd the
monoy which tho managers have divided
should have been retained to put tho track
in a substantial condition. Having liter
ully mado away with tho bounty of tho
nation, ' tho managers, assuming that
they have a monopoly, and that travel aud
trattlo must pass over thoir lino, now pro
pose to ohurgu ten cents per mile, in gold,
for passonger faro over their share ot the
rouu. It Is at) outrage and an extortion to
which tho American peoplo willnot submit.
It Is tho strongest aid which has yet boon
given to the scheme of building another
road, and if It shall loud to un Intervention
by tho General Government in the attain) of
both companies, and tho enforcement of
evory condition attached to the grants of
land and of bouds, It -Will; prove of groat
nubile service. The country knows thut it
has been robbod In the cost of constructing
this road, and that it is disposed to forget;

Ouiraffo at Arlington Ceiuelor.v,
Thu Washington correspondent of the

says:
A Lieutenant of Marines seeing a lady
throw Home Mowers on the grave of a con
federate soldier, a tow of whom are buried
here rushed to tho spot, picked up tho dow
ers and, throwing llietn on thu ground at
his feet, commenced stamping on them in
such a maimer uh to attract about him u
crowd of wondering spectators in a very
lew minutes. fSoinu of tho lookers-on, learn
ing the cause ot tho lieutenant's r igu, com
menced to murmur difmpprnimllou, when
tho lieu tenant shouted out. “ D—u you got
away from hero, every ono of you, or I’ll
make you. Guards, romo up here ami dis
perse this crowd." The lieutenant accom
panied those words with angry gestures,
and swinging his arms about us if ho in
tended to pitch generally into the crowd.
His guards answered his call, but tho crowd
dispersed without walling to bu buj’onetted.
An ex-lJnion volunteer writing to the
Washington Herald gives tbo following ac
count of what ho saw :
While marching with tho throng along
the central walk of the cemetery, accompan
ied by several children whom I had sup
plied with dowers, I noticed a crowd and a
squad of several marines gutliered about a i
small plat in the grounds, to tho right of
the walk, j list to the north of the little foot
bridge. Wo walked on across the bridge,
and having given our tribute to the dead
we returned. Tho crowd was still at tho
little plat. Four marines and a sergeant, ;
assistad at Intervals by two oflleors, were
pairing up and down, not on tho walks or
ijctween the graves, but literally across the
graves of some thirty soldiers. Upon
examination, J found that they were 1
Confederate dead. Several ladies, rvi- i
dently not knowing that they were Con- \
iederates, and with no intention of exhibit- f
itlg any special feeling, quietly placed their
otl'ermgs upon tho graves. They were at
once accosted by the guards, who compelled
them to take them tip. Several gentlemen
wore treated in a like manner. I saw one
Union soldier who was foreod to tuke back
tho ottering lie had to peace and forgive
ness. An ex-Union ollieer, well known to
me, was ordered to receivo back a few roses
that he had, without knowledge of the for
bidden ground, strewn upon tho grave of
one of these soldiers. Astonished, mystiti
ed and disgusted, I asked one of thoguurds
the source of the orders. Ho told me that
they came from the superinUndent of the
cemetery, whose name I do not know.
The people demand to know from whence
these orders came, that the responsibility
may be placed where it should rest. They
demand to know whether u subordinate can
shape thus tho policy of a government, or
whether tho head of tho government aud
tho army lias sanctioned this act, and thus
explains and interprets his oracular “Let
us have peueo." They demnud to know for
what purpose were thesedeud Confederates
buried thero and how long they are to re
main? Was it tb«t they should be thus
j insulted, and at e they to remain there as
| long as our nation lives to be on every au-
I niversury literally trodden under foot by
1 the uuilormed representatives of tbo gov
ernment, pointed* out as an example that
; wu will wreak vengeance ever upon the
bodies of dead enemies. The course pursued
j at Arlington is in strung contrast with that
j which prevailed in Alexaudriu yesterday.
| There all the gravc-s were honored alike,
, dowers having been strewn upon Confeder
ate and Union dead without distinction.

trict of Missouri for “accepting bribes tom
iluenco his action as Special Agent of tho
Internal Revenue.” Gen. Rurbridge was
arrested in tho city of Washington, wharo
lie was engaged at tho time in pressing his
interest as a candidate for appointment as
Minister to Brazil.
Suppose tho charge to bo true, with what
show of consistency could Gen. Grant make
that a ground for declining to nominate
Gen. Burbridgo to a high diplomatic ap
pointment ? Or with what show of consis
tency could the Senate of the United States
treat it as a good reason for the rejection of
tho nomination ?
Unquestionably Gen. Grant has received
money—largo sums of monoy-aml large
sums of money from various persons,
which have influenced, and largely influ
enced, his conduct as President of the Uni
ted States. This is publicly understood,
and is notorious. Yet no grand jury has
indicted him. No Senate has frowned upon
his conduct. Un tho contrary, the Semite
has made haste to confirm nominations
which were notoriously made in conse
quence) of presents of houses and of money.
Is there a man in this country who believes
that if Mr. Boric had been a poor man, and
unable to contribute money to Gen. Grant
in Philadelphia ho would to-day have been
—at least nominally—at tho ln'ud of the
Navy Department?
We submit, therefore, that in view of ex
isting facts, the indictment and arrest of
Gen. Burbridgo must be regarded us sheer
persecution—whether ho is guilty or not.
Formerly—always hitherto —it would havo
been diflerent. But President Grant has
introduced the prnctico of conferring oflico
in consideration of valuable gifts by ap
pointing Mr. Boric, and the Senate bus
sanctioned a corrupt practice by confirm
ing him.
Moro than this, the wholo Republican
party press have virtually given their ap
proval to the transaction by refraining from
any denunciation of it. They know tho
facts, and understand how injuoious and
discreditable they are to all the parties con
cerned ; and yet they seek to withhold them
from tho public and to screen those win: are
guilty of so gross.u wrong.
It is absurd to say that it is right for the
head of tho Government to bo swayed b$
presents, and at the Ramo time undertake
to hold subordinate officers up to the old
fashioned but now rdlher obsolete standard
of purity. You might as well say that the
head of tho weather-vane should do turned
by one wind, and the tail at tho same tiuio
by another and a diflerent one.

Com’th vo. Emanuel Longenecker, of
this city, indicted for larceny as bailee. The
prosecutor, Jesse McComsey, a horse deal
er, of this city, testified that on Ju1y.220,

was in national currency, in $2O, $5O and
$lOO bills, and was given to defendant in the
side-room of llortiug’a hotel, this city, the
defendant leaving on the same night for
the West to purchase the horses. In case
needed more money he was
to inform tho prosecutor, wheu it would be
sent to him. A short time afterwards Mr.
McComsey heard that the defendant, Long-,
eneeker, was coining in from the West
with horses ; he met defendant at tho rail
road, when he arrived with the horses, and
asked defendant if said horses were not for
him (McComsey). Longenecker replied
not. and stated they were for Samuel Groff.
McComsey then inquired.if defendant was
not to bring horses for him. Defendant
said, “Yes, but you (McComsey) did not
give me money enough.” Mr. McComsey
then caught hold of one of the horses and
insisted that lie must have the money or
tho horses. Defendantsaid ho would come
down tho next morning and pay it. The
prosecutor still insisted on having the mo
ney or the horses, when Daniel Logan
—of the firm of Joshua MoComsey, Lo
gan A Longenecker—said that be would
stand defendant’s bail that the money
should bo paid in the morning; Mr. Me-
Comsoy then left the horses go. Subsequent
ly, at Trout’s hotel, defendant promised to
Eny McComsey and said that Samuel Groff
ad the money and that he would obtain It
from him ; defendant also admitted to prose
cutor that ho did not treat him right but
that Groff und Logan put defendant up to
do it. Mr. McComsey also testified that he
was to pay Longenecker one-half the net
profits for buying horses for him and for
assisting him to sell them. Mr, McComsey
nIBO testified that he and the defendant,
Longoneektfr, were not partners; that the
notes given for horses thut were sold by
Longenecker were all given in his (Mu-
Comsoy’s) name. On ono occasion a horse
was sold und tho note for the payment of
tho money for tho horao was drawn in the
nnmo of Longenecker A Co. Mr. Mo*
Corasoyjwould not indorse it in that shape,
nnd tho note was afterwards drawn payable
ip Longonecker, himself, then McComsoy

lie never admitted that tho defendant was
his partner.
Messrs. Abraham Hafer, Christian Gelter,

tor, Jesse McComsey, say that “ they
(meaning himself and Longeneoker) were
up here now, and that be (Longenecker)
had broken loose from the old Arm at
Funks.”
Mr. L. Gondor testified that the prosecu
tor told him that if witness wanted a horse
now to come up, that he (McComsey) and
the defendant were partners, Tbia conyer-
sation took place at Horting’s hotel, this
city, in the Spring of 1807. Witness stated
be bad never bought any horses from Mo-
ComßGy nor from Longenecker.
John Mlnnicb, affirmed, I was at Funk’s
hotel, Longenecker and McComsey came
there. Longenecker said be had left Samuel
Groff and that be and McComsey were in
partnership, and that if I wanted to buy a
horse I should come to them.
| Christian Longenecker, brother of de
fendant, testified that Jesse McComsey had
told him that he and the defendant ware
partners.
Adam Herr testified that ho bought two
j horses from McComsey and Longenecker
at Horting’s Hotel in June, 1807. Jesse Mc-
Comsey told witness that he and Emanuel

Thursday Afternoon.— The trial of the'
case of the Com’th vs. Emannel Longeneck
er, Indicted for larceuy as bailee, was re
sumed.
Tho testimony of the witnesses for the
prosecution and for the defence in this case
having been published in yesterday’s Jn
tkllioenckh, wo will now briefly refer to
tho addresses of tho counsel for tho Com
monwoalth and for tho defendant, which oc
cupied in their delivery tho enliro afternoon
session of the Court. S. H. Reynolds, on
behalf of tho prosecution, addressed tho
jury Just previous to tho close of the fore
noon session of tho Court. Mr. Reynolds’
address was an able presentation of those
points In tho evidence which tended to lead
thojury to couvlct tho defendant, whllobla
discussion of tho law of the cuso to the
Court displayed much ingenuity uud legal
acumen.
Hon. O. J. Dickey and Hon. I, E. Hies*
ter then spoke in bohalf of the defendant.
Their uduresses wero eloquent, und their
arguments to the Court and jury were pre
sented with admirable skill. A copious ci
tation of cases, tending to fortify their po
sition with reference to what constitutes a
partnership aud what does not, was made
by them.
They stated that the evidence showed that
the prosecutor uud defendant were part
ners, and that there can be no larceny by
one partner of the property of the jointcon
cern ; no matter what tho intention of the
defendant, Longenecker, may have been
there wus no larceny and could be none.
This same case had been tried before and
the jury had found the defendant guilty,
notwithstanding Judge Hayes very prop
erly charged for acquittal under thu law
and tho facts. The case is one upon which
conviction could not rest at common law,
and can only be secured through virtue of
the act of i 860; and here it must bo borne
in mind that penal statutes must bo con
strued strictly. The property or money of
McComsey, if parted with, was given vol
untarily; it was not taken from him by
fraud; his will was notovercome.
J. McDowell Sharpe, of Chambersburg,
mado the concluding address for the prose
cution. Mr. Sharpe’s speech was an excel
lent one; it consisted of a logical and ac
curate development of the facts of the case
as they had been elicited from the witnesses
during the trial, while his argument to the
Court was an orderly and exhaustive refer
ence to the authorities, and discussion of
the law pertinent to the points disputed by
his learned opponents. Mr. 8. stated * hut
the indictment against the deftoduut,
Longenecker, consisted of two couuis ; the
first count being'for larceny under the net
of 1860, and the second count being for
larceny at common law. On either or both
of these eouuts the prosecution wculd rely
for conviction. Mr. S contended that it
was in the mind of the defendant to defraud
Mr. McComsey when he went to him to
obtain the $1750 with which to go West and
buy horses. Tho evidence showed that the
defendant, Longenecker, had not invested
any money in the alleged concern ; in case
tho horses bad been killed on tho way to
this city, Mr. McComsey would bavo lost
the horses and the defendant only his wa
ges. If defendant was to lose nothing but
his time and wages there was no partner
ship; no English or American authorities
point to a partnership in such cases. Mr,
McComsey did not part with tho owner
ship of his property ; tho $1750 still be
longed to him. If the defendant now Ims
tho money in his possession, and there is |
no evidence to the contrary, it is Die prose
cutor’s ; tho defendant got the money by a
lie, and keeps it.by a fraud. In important
business transactions where legal responsi
bilities wero to bo assumed, Mr. McCom
sey used his own nutno and denied the
partnership with tho defendant; the fuct
of there being any partnership is only re
ported in the loose talk Incident to bar- 1
rooms and stables. The law also would ;
not recognize u partnership where a mem- '
•ber of the firm would act as did tho defend
.aut, who, ut the time ho obtained Mr. Me
Comsey’s money, had already made an en
gagement with another firm to act fur #
them, and thereafter did act for^hem.
At the conclusion of Mr. Sb&rpo’s ad
dress, the Court adjourned until tiiis (Fri
day) morning.
Friday Forenoon.—Judge Long delivered
tho charge to thojury in the caseof Com’th
▼s* Emauuol Longenecker, tried for larce
ny as builee. After stating tho facts of the
case, as elicited from tho witnesses for tho
prosecution and defence, during the pro
gross of tho trial, tho Judge said that tho
opinion of the Court Is that according to
tire law and decisions governing tbo case,
the defendant cannot be convicted, but the
jury must acquit. A verdict of not guilty
was therefore taken.

mer presiding.
Com’th vs. Oscar Towle, indicted for
malicious mischief. Twoindictments were
preferred against the above defendant for
this ofience ; and defendant was tried for \
both offences at the same time. The malic* i
ious mischief consisted in the defendant,
Mr. Towle, cutting loose certain logs, on
Nov. 3d last, alleged to be in tho possession
of Mr. F. 9. Bletz, the prosecutor in the
case, who resides in Columbia. Said logs
were tied in the river near Columbia, hav
ing been secured while drifting in the river
by certain parties and by them sold to the
prosecutor, Mr. Bletz. The defence claimed
that the proprietors or owners of the logs,
Messrs. Craig and Blanchard, had a right
to instruct their agents to cut loose all logs
having the private marks of their firm upon
them, wherever they might be found. The
logs wore cut looso by defendant who was
acting in accordance with his employer’s
instructions, and the logs were cut loose
that they might be floated or driven to
Havre de Grace in order to be sawed into
lumber at the saw mills of the firm of Craig
and Blanchard at that place. Dickey and
Kline for defence; Dist. AtL’y Brubaker
and North for prosecution.

Oscar Towle, against whom two charges of
malicious mischief were preferred, rendered
a verdict of guilty to both charges. Tho

spoke iu a clear, audible tone of voico and
with graceful and appropriate gestures.
Another excellent feature of his address
was its brevity—it interested his auditors
but did not impose upon their patience.
Thu Refer* ed Question, “ Are Fashions
Compatible with Religion ?"—was discuss
ed by Messrs. T. H. Bean, of MiUersville
and John Morrow, of Tittsburg. Mr. Bean
alleged that “ fashions are compatible with
religion." He stated that it was a common
error to associate the fashions with pride ;
he argued that tho world is one of exceed
ing beauty and we do but imitate the flow
ers of the field when we attire ourselves
fashionably. I Uniformity is desirable and
the fashions secure it: fashion contents
herself with deuling with the outward man,
and religion with our inner nature there is
not therefore necessarily any conflict be
tween fashion and religion.
Mr. Morrow in reply totho above argued
that the pride now existing with regard to
dresk is injurious to public morals. How
much better it would bo if the vast sums of
money wasted in foolish expenditures, for
dress, were properly devoted to the im
provement of Die morals of the people and
in their education. He referred to the pride
individuals take iu their attire and
said that this pride was even not unfre
quently manifested in the too gorgeous dec
oration ot places of worship. We frequent
ly hear of the New York fashions, but who
ever has heard of New York religion.
The above discussion was quito humor
ous and many good hits were made by tho
contestants which were highly appreciated
und applauded by tho audience.
Recitation—“ Pickwick Trial Scene
by Prof. J. W. Shoemaker, Philadelphia
Pa. It is impossible In a newspaperrepor
to convey an idea of tho admirable manner
in which this recitation was made by Prof.
Shoemaker. Thoso of our readers, who are
familiar with this admirable trial scene
know it to be ono of tho very best of tho
great novelist’s (Dickons) productions
The recitutioniat appeared to be thoroughly
imbued with the humor of Ids subject and
recited it in such a manner that he was fre
quently interrupted by the loud plaudits
and yet louder laughter of tho audience. It
was ono of tho most successful and attrac
tive leatures of tho programme.
Tho Honorary Oration was delivered by
tiio Rov. Edwin ll.' Nevin, of this city. The
subject discussed by Mr. Nevin was “Tho
Road to Success.” Our limits forbid us
publishing even a synopsis of this able and
instructive address—but no more synopsis
would do it Justice. To fully upprociato its
eloquent and instructive character It won id
bo necessary to read it entire. All who
beard tho address wero pleased with tho
graceful and impressive maunor in which
It was delivered, and witli the souud advice
it imparled to those among thu auditors
who wore yet in the spring nrno of life,
"Tho Pago Weekly," a pnper made up of
articles contributed by members of tho So
ciety, was next reud by its editress, Miss
Ella I*. Mulvaney, of Orange, N. J. Tho
paper contained a number of productions
which displayed considerable literary abil
ity on the part of their contributors. Miss
Mulvaney road the pnper admirably, and
this circumstance lent additional attraction
to the intrinsic merits of the various ar
ticles it contained, Tho reading of this pa
per concluded tho exercises of tbo evening,
which were unusually excellent and did
full justice to tho high reputation " The
Page" hns hitherto sustained as numbering
among its members some of the very best
talent of tho Htato Normal School.
Tlio music for the occasion was very flno,
and was furnished by Bowman’s Orchestra,
of this city. The hall was very handsome
ly decorated with evergreens anti Mowers,
and the motto of the Society “ Rich in
Truth" occupied a justly prominent and
appropriate position among the other adorn
ments of tho platform. The audience was
a very largo one nud good order prevailed
during tho exercises. The following officers
of tho Society presidod : President, Prof.
J. V. Montgomery, of Miilersville; Secre
tary, Miss Alice M. Uerahey, of Millers
vilie,
Auiucultural Park Association.—
Tho work on tho buildings at tbo Agricul
tural Park Association grounds in this city
is being pushed forward with tire utmost
vigor, and by the lime fixed for tho Inau
gural Horse Fair, June 15th and lGlh prox.
ample uud satisfactory accommodations
will be provided. The grand stand capable
of bolding two thousand spectators is well
forward, and the close of the coming week
will find it under roof. The music and
judges stands aro finished.
Everything bids well that this will be
among the best arranged Pairs ever held in
this or any other State. The Board of Di
rectors are ail hard at work, determined to
success, and their known integrity
is a guarantee that nothing objectionable to
the most fastidious .taste will either
be connived at or tolerated. It is to be
hoped now that it is attempted to establish
a legitimate competition in the development
of stock and at the same time so connect it
with unobjectionable uinusetnent that our
citizens will come forward in a liberal
spirit, giving to the efforts of the " Liuums
easter Agricultural Park Association”
that encouragement they so eminently
deserve. We aro very glad to have it to
say that in looking over tho stock list we
found tlie names of very many of our most
successful business men, who in looking
around thorn had observed that our sister
cities and towns throughout tiie laud have
sprung forward in the race for business su
periority, and that as far as they were con
cerned Lancaster should assume that place
to which her immenso agricultural itupor
tance entitles her.
The short time allowed the Directors and
tho great amount of work to be done pre
vented tho association from giving to the
present occasion that general interest they
so much desired, but with the coming Sep
tember tlioy propose to show that Lancas
ter county will make a better exhibition
of her varied interests—mechanical, pomo
logical, agricultural, Ac., —than is seen ire
quenlly under tho auspices of mure pre
tentious organizations.

Corner Stone Laid.—Tho cornor stone
of tho Union Prosbyterlan Church, in Cole
rain twp., was laid on tholsinat. Remarks
were made by Rev. C. W. Stewart and Rev.
S. McNair. Opening prayer by Rev,
Samuel Dickey and closlug prayer by Rev.
W. R. Bingham. A large number of peo
ple were present. Under the corner stone
were placed a list of subscribers to the old
and new church buildings, a list of the old

church, copies of the Oxford Press, the
Lancaster Express and Intelligencer, some

Founb Dead.— On Friday evening Sam
uel Armor, an employee ol the smelting
furnace, in Paradise township, was found
dead in the road leading from the furnace
to his home. The deceased left In seemingly
good health, was about 60 years-old, and
an industrious laborer.
The Stobm.— Quite a severe storm passed
over tbis city on Monday evening. The
storm was accompanied with very vivid
flashes of lightning and loud peals ofthun
,'der. The rain fell in torrents, and a large
quanl ity of bail also fell,;doing some dam
age to the young fruit, beating it as well as
the ioliage of the trees in oonslderablequan
i titles to the ground. The hall was in some
cases larger than a pigeon’s egg, and in
many houses in our city where the window s
were exposed to the fury of the storm the
glass was broken out. We notice that large
I limbs were broken off the trees In front of
I the residence of Dr. John L. Atlee, Sr., at
1 tbe corner of East Orange and North Duke
streets.
On examining the fruit trees and grape
vines we find that the fruit 1b not so much
injured as the violence of the storm led us
at first to suppose. Although some fruit
was beaten off, the hall was not sufficiently
large to strip the trees and vines to any
great extent —and it Is therefore presuma
ble that the ultimate yield of tree and vine
will be but little interfered with by the hall
storiu of yesterday.
The storm does not appear to have ex
tended over a very wide scope of territory.
There was no storm in the southern part
of tho county. The fall of hall at Bird-lu-
Hand Station, ou the Pennsylvania Rail
road, some seven miles east of this city,
was very great, and considerable damage
wus done to the growing corn in that vicin
ity. Some ninety-eight panes of glass were
broken in the residence of Mr. Frederick
Suiter, In Manor twp.. aad some of the
wheat and rye fields in that soctiou pre
seuted an appearance, this morniDg, as
though a roller had been drawn over them,
ho flatly was the grain beaten down.
Decoration or Soldiers’ Graves.—The
ceremony of decorating the graves of the
soldiers who fell In tbo lato war was pro
ceeded with on Sunday. This custom,
which was inaugurated at the South,
has since been adopted by tho people of the
North and la now very generally observed
by both sections.
The line of the procewdon was formed on
Duke street In the following ordor:
Bund.
Post SI, O. A. R.
Drum Uorps.
Lancaster Fire Zouaves.
Lancaster Feuclblos.
Patriotic Sons of America.
Juulor Order of U. A. M.
Sun Fire Company,
Tho procession moved first to Dio Lancas
ter Cemotory where the graves of tho hol
diors there buried wero decorated—that of
Gen. John F. Reynolds being first decorat
ed. -While the graves of the soldiers were
being decorated tho band played appropri
ate solemn dirges.
The procossion next prccedod to St.
Mary’s Catholic (Cemetery, from thence to
Zion, and Woodward Hill Cometerios and
St. Joseph’s Cemetery, *und Shrolner’a
Cemetery where the graves w’ero also doc
oruted, The fact that the ceremonies were
performed on Sunday prevented many from
joining in the services who would other
wise have done so.
Stolen. —A valuable bay mare, six
years old, was stolen ou Wednesday night
from Mr. John G. Smith, residing near
Conow'ingo, on the Susquehanna river
Mr. James Ewiug, of Drumure twp,, and
Mr. James Denver, of Fulton twp*, this
county, passed through this city ou Friday
in search of tho thief and missing proper
ty. They went ns far as Lltiz, out found
no traces of either. These gentlemen be
long to the "Fulton Horse Association for
the Detection of Thieves," the members of
which are mutually bound, upon notice, to
gn in search of such horses as may be ta
ken from any member, the recent large
amount of horse Mealing in southern Lan
caster county having necessitated the for
mation of swell associations. A reward of
$25 is offered for the recovery oCtheustolen
mare and Die conviction of or $l5
for either. \
The Condition of the Chops.—Our cor
respondent ut Conestoga Centre, thi9 coun
ty, sends m the following statement of the
condition of the crops, etc., at tho close of
tho past month (May):
A great deal of rain fell during the month
of May. and tbo temperature was cool,
there being but a very few warm davs in
the entire month. This wan favorable to
the wheut crop, but rather unfavorable to
some other crops. The wheat is now fairly
out in head, and somo is in blossom and
presents au excellent appearance. Someof
it is rather too rank, aud a considerable
part was lodged by the heavy stornj and
rain, accompanied by hail, which passed
over this section last evening (May 31stj.
A groat part of it will probably rise again,
und consequently will not be Injured, but
that which will remain down will make
nothing but straw. The probability is that
tho crop will be above an average oue, uud
very likely larger than fur severul years
puMt. Tho ryo 1h woll tilled and will bo u
good crop. Outs are short, uud appear
ances uro rather uufuvorublo for u good
crop, but they may "comeoul” yet. Grass
is a little late, owing to tho backwardness
of the seuson, but is thick on tho ground,
with the exception of Home of the old clo
ver fields, which were damaged by freezing
out last winter. There will bo above au
average crop.
Neurly the whole of the month was too
j wet and cold for tho corn, and in conse
quence It is very much "back." If tho
wuutber continues warm us it Ims beeu fur
tho hist few duys, it will grow up very
rapidly.
The continued rain ou Dio first two days
of the month injured the fruit very consid
erably, Apples were leust Injured by it, as
but a small part of tho blossoms were open
at the tune. Tho trees thut blosHomed will
probably have apples In proportion to the
amount of blossoms they contained. The
small apples on the trees have a favorable
appearance. There will be less than halfu
full cron, but may lie more than the average
for the last 10 or 12 years, as tho average
during that lime has been less than one
fourth of a full crop.
PouchPH were somowbut Injured by the
ruin, but not so much us the olhor kinds
of fruit, (except apples,) owing to their bav*
ing been done blossoming ut the time. A
good many fell off, but they will still, if
not injured hereafter, which is.not prob
able, though possible, bo more übimdant
than they woro lor u number of years.
Cherries will not he over one-fourth of a
crop. The early blossoming varieties con
tain a good many, but the later blos
soming varieties wero nenrly nil de
stroyed by tho rain. As plums blossom
early they escuped the ruin, but pears
which blossom later will be nearly an en
tire failure, on account of tho raiu. Straw*
berries which are now beginning to ripen
ure u good crop aud of good size, drapes
will soon be in blosom, and they look
very well at presont. Other small fruits,
such as raspberries and blackberries,
which uro cultivated to a considerable ex
tent in this loculity, promise woll.
A considerable breadth of tobacco is being
planted this year in this section. A good
part has already been planted, and the
remainder is being plauted very rapidly,
the weather being very favorable for the
plants to “set."
Death oe Old Kesidentkrh. —Mrs.
Wade, residing nearStrusburg, this county,
died a few days ago. Had she lived uuiil
the coming 7th of August sho would have
been one hundred years old. Sho hud a
brother, residing near Manheim, this coun
ty, who died recently at the ripe old age of
oue hundred uud four years.
Burglary.— The burglars are still at
their nefarious work. The summer house
of Adiun Ranck, in Leacock township, was
recently entered and robbed of several arti
cles—amounting in value to $lO or $l2.
Large Tumors-— Drs. Hottenstein and
Borntheizel performed an operation upon
Mrs. Harnisb and Mrs. Bruchart, on Wed
nesday last, at Silver Springs, for the re
moval of two largo udijose tumors. One of
the tumors weighed a pound and a half.

PRINTING INK.-We woulddlroctullentlon
U the advertisement of tho Gray’s Kerry Print
ing luk Works in another column. They pre
sent a number of testimonials from newspa
pers, speaking in the highest leim? of tho Ink
manufactured by them. Specimens of tbelr
Ink have been used In this establishment,and
have given entire satisfaction.— Dai'y Tele
graph, Harrisburg, Fa.
GOOD PRINTING INK.—A very linpoitant
requisite to tho production of a well-prluLed
newspaper Is a suitable ink. In printing the
Bucks county Intelligencer on a fast pross, we
have had to contend with a great many dlfil*
cullies lu obtaining Ink that would give satis
faction. At prosent wo are using an Ink made
especially fur the Intelligencer by C, E. ROBIN
HON, corner of Gray’s Kerry Road and Thirty
third street, Philadelphia, which comes noarer
the mark than any other we bavo met with.
That this opinion Is shared by other publisher*
is shown by the following extracts :
PRINTER’S INK-AGOODARTICLE.-The
Ink with which this Issue of the Republican Is
printed Is from the Gray’s Ferry Printing Ink
Works of C. E. KOBINBON. It is clean, Mows
freely, and Is of a good color. Our brother
printers can Judge of Its quality by comparing
It with Ink from other manufactories.—Delu
ivarc County Republican,
TO PRINTERS,—We have been using for
several weeks a very floe quality of-Ink, from
tbo Gray's Ferry Manufactory of CHARLES E*
KOBINBON, which oor prosaraen say, Is the
best for ryllndor press news work .thut they
have used for a long time. It Is a clear black*
and free from all kinds of aedjment. Mr. Rob
/inson Is a practical ink manufacturer, liberal
.and courteous in all business transactions, and
as ho has recently had the misfortune to be
burned out, we are the morofroe to recommend
his Ink and himself to Iho patronage of all
printers who desire a good article at very
cheap rates .—Delaware Gazette.
One of onr cotcmporarles also recommends
U as follows:
FINE PRINTING INK.—We havo for some
tlrao been using the news Ink manufactured at
the Gray's Ferry Printing Ink Works, Phila
delphia, by C. E. ROBINSON, and, as stated
some weeks ago, have found It better adapted
to onr presses than any ink we have had in ou
