THU FALLEN CAUSE.
the following poem was written by Henry
Timrod, a South Carolina poet, who died about
a year ago. The reader ia not required to be a
defender of the “fallen cause” In order to ap
preciate the slngulaily line feeling and noble
expression which characterize the verse:
ODE
Snnenn the occasion of decorating the groves
oftheConfederate dead, at Magnolia tone
tery, Charleston, South Carolina.
Sleep sweetly In your humble graves—
Bleep, martyrs oi a ftillen cause I
Though yet no marble column crates
The pilgrim here to pause.
blrth '
Meanwhile, behold the tardy years.
Which keep in trust your storied tombs,
Behold! your sisters bring their tears,
And these memorial bloom.

Small tributes but your shades will smite
More proudly on these wreathes to-day,

Shall overlook this bay.
Stoop, angels, hither nom the skies!
There is no holler Bpot of ground
Than where deteated valor lleß,
By mourning beauty crowned.
When to Pay a Farm.
Very few seem to know that
the months of June and July are the
best in the year in which to look for or
purchase a farm. At this season one
can judge whether the land can or does
produce good crops, for if it.ls rich, the
waving grass andgrain will be an ocular
demonstration of the fact; and if there
is, according to the stereotyped user
tioc an abundance of choice fruit, it
can be seen at this time the beat ad
vantage. The low lauds will show
whether they are really dry enough for
pastures in summer, and the upland in
capacity for withstanding a drouth. If
there are any mosquitoes about, they
will generally make their appearance
known at this time if ever, and by ob
serving the children in the neighbor
hood one can determine whether the
locality is healthy or otherwise.
Hummer is also a good time to view
the never-failing spring and the trout
pond near by, and a draught from the
one and a lunch from the other are at
tractions which those who possess them
seldom fail to bestow upon those who
are like to become a purchaser. Lven
the weeds on a farm will nssist a man
in determining its value, for if nothing
but stunted ragweed and live-finger are
to be seen, then the land may be set
down as poor indeed; but if burdock
and catnip abound, it shows strength
for crops of a higher order.
The pasture and meadow, orchard and
garden, all show what there are and
what may be expected on them in these
months; but earlier or iatter the aapec
of things may change, the roads are
muddy if ever; aud the distance from
the farmjo the railroad station appears
to be much greater than it actually is,es
pecially to a stranger. In autumn the
leaves are turning yellow, the grain has
been gathered, the fruits are nearly
gone; still the air is fresh and the land
scape glowing with autumnal tints; but
the vuiuable products of a farm, which
are its products, aremaiulyoutof sight,
being stored iu the barn or in the pro
prietor’s pocket.
A Woman Lawyer at Last.
Kr.nn the .Ml., I'H'.isiuit (Iowa) Journal,
During the term of the District Court,
held in this city the fore part of the pre
seut week, Mrs Dell A.Mansfield, 8.A.,
of this city, was admitted to the bar
und authorized L< practice in the courts
ofthe State. Mi>. M. is a young mar
ried lady, abuu twenty-four years of
age, is a graduate ot ilie lowa Wesleyan
University, ami a lady of strong mind.
That she'lias the brains and ability
necessary to make a good record for
herself iu the profession of her choice,
no one will dispute. Wo presume that
Mrs. Manslieki is the first lady admit
ted to practice law in the btate, and
she must be expected to be stared at
and remarked about upon all occasions,
for you know a female lawyer in the
State of lowa is something new. Her
husband, Drufc-asor J. M. Mansfield,
was also admitttd at the same time.
We do not know what the intentions of
this couple are, but if they see fit to
swing out their shingle, we wish for
them the greatest success. We publish
below the report of the committee ap
pointed by the Court to examine and
report upon the qualifications of Mrs.
Mansfield :
“The undersigned committee, ap
pointed by the court to to examine aud
report upon the qualifications of Mtb.
Arabella A. Mansfield, who has this
day applied for authority to perform the
duties, and have aud receive the bene-,
fits of an attorney and counsellorof this
court, beg leave to report : That Mtb.
Mansfield has passed a most eminently
satisfactory examination, giving the
very best evidence of long aud careful
study, of excellent application, and a
thorough acquaintance with the ele
mentary principles of law.
“ Your committee take unusual plea
sure in recommending the admission
of Mrs Mansfield, not only because she
is the first lady who has thus applied
for this authority in this State, but be
cause, iu her examination she has given
the very best rebuke possible to the
imputation that ladies caunot qualify
for the practice of the law. And we
feel confident from the intimation of
the Court, given on the application
made, that we speak not only the senti
ments of the Court aud of your com
mittee, but the entire members of the
bar, when we say that we heartily wel
come Mrs. Mansfield as one of our mem
bers, and most cordially recommend
her admissiou.

Remedy for tlic Peacli Worm,
There is a handy means for the de
struction of this heretofore fatal enemy
to the peach tree, which is practical here
—which has proved certaiiq beyond
peradveulure. It is simple, ot easy ap
plication, and expeditious. It consists
of the use of boiliny water applied to the
collar of the tree, in quantities varying
aecordiugtotheageot the tree—in small
trees, say one inch iu diameter, half a
pint is sullicient, and a pint is enough
for larger ones. Kemove the earth from
around the tree a few inches in depth,
and just pour the water boiling hot on
the exposed roots, and it will kill every
egg as well as worm, with positive cer
tainty. ll has been tried here time and
again, upon trees that have been more
than half killed, aud a pcrfect restoru
tiou has been the result in case.
No dauger need be apprehended from
the effects of the hot water upon the
trees, unless n large quantity is applied
to a very small tree. When a large
number of trees have to be operated
upou, a fire should be made iu tbe or
chard for heating the water, so that it
can beAppln d t.oiling hot. Considering
the importance of this remedy to peach
growers win/ may not have heard of it,
I deem, it but common justice to give it
circulation througu ! he columns of your
paper. Its certainty as a remedy may
be implicitly relied upon. — Country

Farming is not ouly a profession, but
of all professions it embraces the widest
range of scientific propositions aud prac
tical facts, and affords the widest field
for the exercise of the philosophic aud
analytic mind. iDsteadofthebrightest
boys being seal to a medical college for
a field worthy of their talents, they
should be educated in the science, aud
Instructed practically in the duties of
agriculture.
It is a prominent duty of the farmer
s 5 to pursue his calling as to inspire a
respect for it in (he minds of his chil
dren, and so traih them that they shall
be able to pursue it successfully, which
can only be effected by his availing
himself of every advantage resulting
from the discoveries of science aud the
accumulated experience of the past.
This will at once strip farming of almost
every disagreeable feature, and clothe it
with attractions possessed by no other
businees.
As at present conducted there is a
large amount of very disagreeable labor
required to be performed iu farming,
aud it is mainly to this fact that we owe
the desertion of that business for others
by country boys. Science and human
skill rnustrelieve thU,aud undoubtedly
will, if the farmer wilUivail himself of
heir aids.— Ex. V

Tile Labor* of the Cetuu* Committee—
Effect of the Fifteenth Amendment on
the Saali of Bepreeentatlon.
Among the subjects discussed by the Cen
sus Committee at their reoent Session in
Washington, was the apportionment of
reDresentatlyes.to he made on the basis of
the census of 1870. The subject was inci
dentally brought up, but it proved one oi
the most interesting, not to eay exciting,
Questions that was considered. Mr. ±ima
email, of Pennsylvania, the. only Demo
crat who was in constant attendance upon
the sessions of the oommittee, ® ut
the fact that, in accordance the PJ9*
visions of the fourteenth amendment to the
constitution, some important changes
would take pladein the
number of the Kortaem States, especially
if the fifteenth amendment should fail ol
ratification prior to the taking of the census.
This was news to the prominent Radical
members of the committee. They stared
at each other as if a new idea had suddenly
dawned upon them. The second section of
the fourteenth article of jthe amendment
provides that
Representatives shall beappolnted among
the several States according to their re
spective numbers, counting the whole
number of persons in each State, excluding
Indians not taxed. But when the right to
vote at any eleotlon for the choice of elect
ors for President and Vice President of the
United States, Representatives in Congress,
executive and judicial officers of a State, or
members of the Legislature thereof, is de
nied to any of the male inhabitants of such
State, being twenty-one years of age and
citizens of the United States, or abridged,
except for participation in rebellion or oth
er crime, tne basis ofrepresentation therein
shall be reduced in the proportion which
the number of male citizens shall bear to
the whole number of male citizens twenty
one years of age in such State.
There has been no apportionment of rep
resentatives among the several States since
this amendment became part ofthe consti
tution, and of course Us effect has not been
felt. It is questionable whether the Radicals
in Congress in passing the amendment,, or
the Legislatures in ratifying it, anticipated
Us cousequences, It will be observed that
it will have no effect whatever upon the
representation of the Southern Stutes, be
cause those who are disfranchised for par
ticipation in the rebellion are not counted
out lu the apportionment. In the Northern
States, however, where the negroes are not
allowed to vote, and in some of which tbore
are property, educational and nativity tests,
its effect will be sensibly felt. Heretofore
the negroes in the Northern States, as we) 1 as
all other classes disfranchised, from what
ever cause, have been taken into the ac
count in making the apportionment for rep
resentation in Congress. In establishing the
basis under the census of 1870 they will be left
out, and the ratio of representation reduced
accordingly. Large States like Now York,
Pennsylvania aud Ohio which refase to en
franchise their negroes, will lose from ouo
to two, and perhaps three, representatives
each,aud other smaller States in proportion.
So much for the effect of the fourteenth
amendment. The adoption of the fifteenth
amen rnent would of course change tbo as
pect of the case to a considerable extent.
Ail the negroes In the Northern States
would then be voters. The only persons
disfranchis-d would be those coming within
the scopo of the property, educational and
nativity qualifications of such States as
Massachusetts and Rhode Island. It is not
believed that there are sufficient of these in
any of the States to affect their representa
tion. The best informed among the radical
politicians regard the ratification of the fif
teenth umenamont by the requisite number
of States, prior to the taking of the census
in June, 1870, as extremely doubtful.—
So far the official records of the State de
partment show that but twelvo out of the
requisite twenty-eight States have ratified
the amendment. Abont two of those. Mis
souri and Kansas, there is somo informali
ty. Some other States are reported to have
, ratified the amendment; but there is dis
pute about it, and the State Department
has no official information on the subject.
Taking it lor granted that the tiiieumh
amendment will not be ratified in time, the
fourteenth amendment, which, it will bo re
membered at the time of its passage, was
supposed to be a punitive measure for the
South, will really prove au injury to the
North. The basis of representation once
fixed under the new census, remains uudis
lurbed for ten years. So that even should
the fift6entn amendment be ratified the
next year after the census jb taken it will
only result in the negroes of the Northern
Slates being allowed to vote without being
represented in CoDgress. This is a trap
which the Radicals set for others, and there
is a brilliant prospect just now of them
selves being the first to fall into it.— TFa.<s/i*

Boutwcll’s BinuUer*
Mr. Boutwell begins to experience bow
uncontrollable a wild spirit of speculation
is. When be assumed office, the speculative
tone of commercial circles was completely
dormant throughoot the whole country.
He was confidently looked to for the inau
guration of a sound financial policy, which
j-honld bring us nearer to specie payment,
promote the public credit, and open up to
commerce and manufactures a season of
profit, after loDg depression and severe
losses. Most people expected to see gold
decline below 130, and were prepared to
accept the situation. But in an evil hour
Mr. Boutwell decided upon a policy of
practical iufiation; and, though compelled
to soon abandon it, its pernicious results
are felt on all sides, in the revival of a
speculative mania which will not be allay
ed. We have speculations iu gold, in cot
ton, and cotton goods, in wheat, in provis
ions, iu hides aDd leather, in petroleum—
in fact, iu noarly all the great staples-In
addition to the extraordinary inflation in
the prices of railway shures.
Mr. Boutwell’a order to sell two mililous
of gold per week, while he purchased but
one million of bonds, bad precisely tbo same
effect upon the money market as if be had
ceased to purchase bonds, but had continu
ed to sell one million of gold. After he had
contributed to the revival of speculation in
slocks and 'merchandise, he puts on the
check, which ia soon followed by the money
pressure which was clearly foretold. The
speculative spirit which ho raised tarns
anil rends him. It isdemnndedofhim that
he shall cease to sell two millions of gold
weekly, or that hesball Increase his purch
ases of bonds to that amount. He has found
a pretext for partially meetiog that deni aud,
aud in the two weeks following bonds to
the additional amount of $1,240,000are to be
purchased. This Is on the same principle
that brundy is administered to a person
delirium caused by its ex
cessive use; it is applying tho hair of tbo
dog to cure Us bite.
Rut Mr. Boutwell is probably too late
with this expedient. Had he commenctd
last April to purchase and caucei the three
per cent, certificates, we should undoubted
ly now be prepared to enter upon the next
business year with asereue money market
and a good state of publicand private credit.
But, as it is, one need uot be surprised if a
severe monetary panic—such as we have
not yet iucarred since the war—should
prove to have already set in and bo destin
ed to ruu its -course, the Treasury Depart
ment be without ability to afford relief, and
the whole commerce, manufactures, aud
trade of tho country bo demoralized.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Gazette says :
Schuyler Colfax has almost faded from
the minds of mon at the Capital. When he
is mentioned nt all he is not damned with
faint praise; but the praise is entirely
omitted. ll© is spoken of by leading Rad
icals as a bad bargain, on which there is
no hope ot present reclamation. Well may
the god-father of thousands of Radical ba
hies exclaim, “ Snvo me from my friends.”
As presiding oflleor of the Senate, he cer
tainly exhibited traits of character which
should have endeared him to the Radical
heart, lie gave Radical Senators twenty
nine minutes on the floor, and one mlnnte
to the Conservatives,—this being bis inter
pretation of Iho half hour rule. Even this
glorious service in behalf of his party has
, tailed to cause his name to be revered in
high Radical places. His friends have
“soured on him,” to uso a popular expres
sion, but “ th<s reason why I cannot tell.”
In nUnirs of State or of parly policy he en
ters not. He bears about the same relation
to the Government wagon as does a ily on
the wheel of a coach to the horses which
draw the vehicle. After haviog advertised
Himself into the Vice Presidency by a lib

A Bishop’s Tour aronnd the World.

Kingsley, is about to start on a coarse of

Lovk Feasts. —As this is the season when
the “ Love Feasts’’ peculiar to several re
ligious sects in Lancaster and adjoining
counties take place, the following from tbe
Mt. Joy Herald will not be without inter
cut :
These religious meetings are in tills
neighborhood, peculiar to the German Bap
tists, of which there are four divisions : The
Old Brethren originated by Alexander
Mack at Germantown during the early set
tlement of this State, which are decidedly
the most numerous, being fouud in nearly
all the States of the Union.
Tho River Brethren, founded by John and
Jacob Engle noar Bainbridge in this county
uearly a century ago, whose father had
come from Switzerland a persecuted Mo
uouite. They derived the appellation
“ River Brethren ” from the fact that tho
originators resided near tbe river Susque
hanna. They aro the most numerous in this
immediate vicinity, and they arealso found
in the West und in Canada. The other two
divisions have split off the River Brethren
about fifteen years ago, and are known re
spectively a« tbe Brinser Brethren, from
their leader Matthias Brinser, of Dauphin
county; and York Brethren from tbe fact
of the leaders being residents of York coun
ty-
These lovo feasts are held in the spring
, and fall of the year aDd last two days,
mostly one afternoon, evening and next
forenoon. D.iring the evening thy sacra
ments are administered, including feet
washing. With all but tbe Old Brethren
tbe afternoon is mainly occupied by tho
members telling their experience. The fore
noon, and by the Old Brethren, the previ
ous ufternoon is takeu up in preaching;
several, sometimes as many as half a dozen
ministers succeeding each other. During
the evening the doctrine relating to the
sacraments is explained by one or more
preachers.
These meetings aro generally held in tho
large barns of our farmers, and when tbe
weather is favorable the evening services
are held in the open air. In mauy localities
the Old Brethren have, however, large
meeting houses with kitchens attached,
provided with the necessary furniture.
Food and lodgings are provided during
tho continuance of the meeting, not only for
tho members, but for all who attend, as
well as for the horses of those who come by
horseback or private conveyance. Tbe
meals are served on long tables extending
through tbe meeting house or barn, ami
frequently in tbe orchard or under shade
trees. Beds are made on the floors through •
out the bouse and out-buitdings, of straw
and bedding; and the nearest neighbors,
j whether they are members or not, gener-
I ally take with them ns many as they cun
[lodge; many of whom make special pre-
I parations for the occasion, and even pro
■ vide breakfast for their guests.
The expensesof these meetings are borne
and the provisions made by the members
of the church in the vicinity ; some giving
! money, others bread, butter and other pro
| visions. Bedding anil furniture are brought
i by the nearest members and such neigh
bors as offer to assist. Occasionally a far
mer provides everything but tho bedding
and furniture.
The attendance is generally very of
all classes of people, ranging from 10UU to
3000 persons.
These people are peaceable aud consider
it wrong to apply to the la v for redress ;
hence these meetings are frequently annoy
ed by unprincipled persons rushing to the
tables nt meal times, and making noise and
disturbances during tho evening exercises.
It certainly is a great pity that there are in
this enlightened country, in tho nineteenth
century, persons, even young men claiming
to belong to good society, who wiil cause
disturbances, and disobey the regulations
laid down at these solemn meetings, held
by peaceable neighbors ; that there are any
who are so uumanly that they cannot be
have themselves if they aro uot compelled
by force to do so.
Singular Case of Wakefulness.—
The Express says:
A very singular case of wukcfuluess has
just been brought to our notice. A muu
named Herr, a cabinet maker, residing in
Lampeter Square, and aboutsixty yeurs of
ape, has not had a half hour’s continuous
sleep for nearly four years. The case was
thus stated to us* About four years since,
a daughter of Mr. Herr became ill, and
Mr. il. watched nt her bedside, day and
night, for six weoks, when she died. All
this time he took no sloop, stating that he
felt no desire for it. A few days after the
death of his daughter he run a nail into his
foot, and this confined him to his bed for
seven or eight weeks, not an hour of which
time could he obtaiu sleep. After recovery
from his wound he still failed to obtuin rest
from sleep, and so the matter continued to
go on from week to month, and from month
to year. His health lias suffered, and he
complains of great debility. Ho applied to
a leading physician of this city, who pre
scribed for him a strong opiate, but it had
no moro effect upon him, as he say*, than
a snap of his fmger. He again applied to
the same physician, requesting thut the dose
be increased. To this the physician, ob
jected, stating that it would be dangerous.
He said he did not care, and uuother opiate
was prepared strong enough, it is alleged,
to put three or four ordinary men to sleep
and never wake up agaiu. This had no
better effect than the first, and the physi
cian refused to administer any more doses
of that kind, but advised his patient, as a
Inst resort, to get on a “high old bender.”
Thiß experiment has not yet been tried, aud
it may be a question whether ho can swal
low enough liquor to produce intoxication
and soporiferousness. Mr. Ilerr is a sober
and industrious man, but in consequence
of his malady is unable to do any kind of
physical labor. It is certainly a strange
case.
Trampers.— The West Chester Record of
this week says: “Chester comity, just at
this time, appears to have tnorS than her
'share of tram pers—all going or coining from
Lancaster. We observed six in ono bunch,
last Monday, standing on a corner, at tbe
western end of our Borough. They appear
to travel in squads ; but on nearing a town
separate, go tnrough their business of beg
ging through the streets, and then meet
again to proceed on their journey. While
some few of them are deserving cases, oi hers
are mere imposters—very Impudent and
saucy, and some of them willj bear very
close watching. Tbo harvest season will
soon be here, when these follows make
themselves rather scarce, for fear of being
put to work—one of the good blessings of
this world that they do not seem to appre
ciate. Many of them are strong, hearty*
looking fellows; but offer them a job of
work, and you will soon learn from them
i hat their health is so delicate and frail that
one would think a good puff of wind would
blow them out ot existence. Several of
them traveling through East Bradford, on
Thursday last, stopped at Geo. Rodeback’a
for assistance, <fcc.; after they had gone a
fine pair of boots were missing. They also
took a coat from Isaac Wickersham in the
same neighborhood.
Accident. —On Tuesday morning a man
named David Hoist was engaged in fixing
a hay book in Christian Zook’s bam, near
Binkley’s Bridge, four miles from this city.
Hoist was standing on a ladder at the height
thirty-five feet from the ground when the
ladder slipped throwing him down; ho fell
on his hack and was severely injured in
tsrnally. Mr. Hoist was so hurt that he
was unable to walk and was conyeyed to
his home.
The Gabb of thb Insane,—The twen
ty-third annual meeting of the medical
superintendents of insane asylums was
held at Staunton, Ya., on Tuesday. Dr.
Kirkbrido of Philadelphia presided. Near
ly all the States and Canada were repre
sented. Dr. Corwen of Pennsylvania, read
a report upon the treatment of the insane
in private institutions, and took occasion
to express his contempt for the conduct Cf
cert am legislators in passing rules and reg
ulations for the government and treatment
of maladies of which they are totally igno ,
rant. Dr. Ray presented a paper on the
law of insanity, in which were described
several recent jadicial decisions, showing
gratifying progress in tbe right direction.—
The decision of the chief justice ot New
Hampshire in a recent criminal case was
regarded as embodying tbe really correct
law in respect to insanity as an excose for
crime. After an amusing discussion in re
gard to the treatment of the insane in
Massachusetts one hundred years ago by
ducking and confinement in high pressure
compressed water-tanka, the convention
adjourned.
At a meeting of the association yesterday
resolutions were past favoring regular re
liffious service in asylums, the choice
of chaplains to be vested in the sup
erintendents. Hartford, Conn., and tbe
third Wednesday in June are the time and
place fixed for meeting next year.
Fee Bill for the Lawyers.—The law
yers of this city and county have taken
steps for the establishment of a professional
fee bill. At a recent meeting they appoint
ed a committee of nine to prepare a mini
mum bill of fees and to suggest suitable ac
tion to secure Us enforcement. This com
mittee consisted of Hon. I. E. Hlester, Hon.
O. J. Dickey and A. H. Hood, W. R. Wil
son, W. W. Brown, Thomas E. Franklin,
S. H. Reynolds, Geo. M. Kline, and D. G.
Eshleman Esqs.
The Reading Times states that the Bar in
Berks county have been practicing under
a fee bill for the past three years, which has
been found to work advantageously iu pre
venting out of the way charges. The sys
tem of a definite charge for all legal busi
ness that is susceptible of being graduated
is a good one, as tending to avoid all mis
understanding between counsel aud client
as to the valuation of professional charges.
Complimentary.— Tho Reading Eagle
contains a report of the Literury Exercises
incident to the recent Commencement of
the Berks County Keystone Normal School
in which appears the following complimen
tary notice of a Lancastrian :
‘•The Model Teacher,” by Samuel A.
Bear, of Lancaster, was finely depicted as
perfect man, in whom should meet ull tho
graces tbut adorn and elevate human char
acter. When all oar common school teach
ers ahull have acquired the virtues with
which the orator garlanded thy instructor
of youth, we shall hear no m ore complaints
about the lowness ol salaries, tho shabbi
uese of school houses, and the indifferenco
of directors and people.
Bathing.—The season for creek and
river bathing is now at hand, and it is to
be hoped that people will not indulge iu
this Summer luxury with recklessness.
Many constitutions aro sadly shattered
every summer by too much bathing.—
Bathing is a good thing employed In mod
eration ; but if immoderately enjoyed it ia
a dangerous pastime. Only tbe most ro
bust and soundest system can long stand
daily immersions in a creek or river with
out becoming impaired. Persons afilicted
by organic disabilities should uot bathe
oftener than every other day, and in no
event should they remain in the water
longer than ten or fifteen minutes. Any
indulgence in bathing extending to half an
hour or an hour (which is more frequently
the rule than the exception)is highly injur
ious, although the injury may not be im
mediately apparent.
Sale of Lots in Manheim.— On Mon
day the third sale of building lots was
held iu Manheim, and twenty seven lots
were disposed of as follows: Lot No. 6,
Jacob Decker, 912") ; 20, Frederick Hod
man, $O6; 27, do., $66; 31, D. W. Erb. $53 ;

Gallagher,
Items.— We take the following items of
local interest from the Oxford Press:
A friend iB opposed to the removal ofthe
abandoned telegraph poles of the Eastern
Telegraph Line in Upper and Lower Ox
ford, Chester county, and Little Britain
and other townships, Lancaster county, as
they serve as excellent guides to travellers
journeying east or west on that road, “ Oak
Hill’s’” argument to the contrary notwith
standing.
The latter part of this week and next
week will be a busy time, as many of our
farmers will be in tho midst of their hay
harvest. Tho crop will not be a full one
in Chester or Lancaster counties, owing to
a great deal of the clover being badly win
ter killed. The wheat is putting on a yellow
tinge and will be ready for tue harvester
before haying is done. There is but little
complaint of weavil or rust injuring it.
The outs looks well and promises a full
crop. The wheat on several farms on the
Octoruro hills is almost ripe enough to cut.
Deputy Statjs Superintendent ov
Common Schools —Henry Houck, Esq., of
Lebanon county, has been appointed Depu
ty Superintendent of Common Schools by
State Superintendent Wickersham, to fill
the vacaucy occasioned by tho death of the
late Charles K. Coburn. Mr. Houck has
held a position in the Department for some
time, and is fully conversant with the
duties of the office. His appointment will
no doubt give general satisfaction, and we
heartily congratulate him ou bis promotion.
The vacancy occasioned by the promotion
of M r. Houck is temporarily filled by Amos
Row, E*q., of Lancaster, well known
through the State as a prominent educator.--
Harrrisburg Telegraph.
It appears that in Columbia all persons
wbo bare dogs must register them during
noxt month (Julv). Those who fail to
have their dogs registered during that time
are liable to be fined.
