As a member of the Republican Male Committee in the political campaign wluelt resulted in tho election of Cov. Ward, Mr. Kobeson became some what noted as a politician. Though lie was an earne-t partisan of Mr. Caticdl in the struggle fur the gubernatorial nomina tion, he became, however, a follower of the successful candidate for Governor, and subsequently, in the contest for the posi lion ot United States Senator, Mr. Kobeson carried over to the support of bov.

A large audience assembled at Fulton Hall, on Thursday, to -witness - the closing exercises of Franklinand Marshall College. The greater portion of those present were ladies, whose attractive attire and bright faces added much to the general interest of the occasion. . ~ The platform at the Hall was occupied by the members of the Board of Trustees of the College, thelfaculty, and the members ot the graduating class, who marched from the College to the Hallin procession, headed by the City Cornet Band. The exercise were opened with an appropriate P/®y er - Rev. Dr. Kevin, President of the College. The salutatory address consisted of a “ Eulogy on Dr. H. Harbaugh ” by David B. Lady, Arendrsville, Pa. Alter gracefully welcoming the audience to the literary feast about to bo presented to them by the class of’oo, Mr. Lady entered upon his subject by eloquently relating the incidents of the early life of Rev. Mr. Harbaugh. The speaker remarked that Mr. H. had spent his early youth in the Cumberland alley, the romantic scenery of which doubtless had a great mlluence upon his mind. As bo grew up he showed a disposition to read and study, and soon gave promise of the distinc tion which be won in after life’as a learned 'theologian and fine poet; .the speaker re ferred to his acceptable ministry in Lan caster,and of the success which subsequent ly attended his ministerial labors in Leba non —and his labors as a teacher when in charge of the Mercersburg Theological Seminary. Mr. Lady recited in Pennsyl vania Dutch the poem entitled “The Old School House by the Creek ’’ —the recitation of which was frequently interrupted by ap plause. Mr. Lady made a very favorable impression by his address which v.'asdeliv ored in a line manner. Josiah D. Detrich, Waynesboro, Pa,, next delivered an oration ou the “ Pleasures of Art.” The Artist had an able and eloquent eulogist in Mr. Detrich, who manifested by his remarks a great familiarity with the imperishable paintings of the great mas ters of the past and the prevent. He.stated that some of our great modern artists are capable ol expressing on canvass even the inward consciousness of animals ; and it is by the ait of painting that we are enabled to preserve the forms and features of tbo eminent dead, to furnish for the young of the present day examples for them to emu late. The address was well written and delivered. “The Age of (’hivalry" was tiie subject of an oration by James B. Pefifli r, Easton, Pa. Mr. D. spoke in so low a lone ol voice that we found it impossible to hear con nectedly what la? said. His gestures wen* mechanical. Mr. D., in order to succeed ns an orator, must correct the faults which now mar Ids speaking. The eilVct of the best written oration can be spoiled in its delivery. John M. Souder, Lovettsville, Va., had for his subject the “Value of Difilculiics.” To encounter and surmount is the law of man’s being. To be despondent hocau.se success Is not immediately attendant upon uur labors is wrong; wo should never des pond. Thu blade of grass when trampled upon uprises again, so should man. The dibit necessary to overcome difficulties ol ton brings out excellent qualities of char acter, which would otherwise remain latent. Activity makes the man in all respects, and he who sternly overcomes opposition meets with the noblest reward. Mr.Souder spoke loud enough to bu heard plainly, and was listened to with attention. His oralit.n was a success, The next oration—subject, “ Voiceless Eloquence” was delivered by Oscar C. Herman, Kutztown, I'a. This gentleman hud the bad habit of walking too much backward and forward over the stage; ho also nervously swung his arms backward and Ibrward in a manner unpleasant to witness. The oration was, however, quite well written and contained some very, finely constructed sentences. .1. Finley Hoke, Gettysburg, Fa.,delivered an oration on “Public Opinion.” The noise In tho back part of the Hall during the first part of Mr. H’h speech prevented us from bearing it—except in a very disconnected manner. Mr. JI. fell into the common fault of speaking in too low a tone of voice in the first part of his address. The latter part of theoralion was bettor delivered andjevinced considerable ability in its composition. The gestures of the speaker were appropriate. “Tho German Language in America” we wero told was the subject of au oration by Willoughby Donat, Steinsville, Pa., but as we do not understand German wo were tillable to appreciate the address. The man ner in which the address was spoken was apparently good, auil from tho applause, which more than once interrupted the ora tor, we presume his subject was treated in a popular and entertaining veiu. Samuel A. Baer, Kutztown, Pa., had for his subject “Home Sickness.” Tho poets never sing more beautiful strains than wht'n their harps aro attuned to home—and the poets are the.interpreters of Nature.— All the desires anti thoughts of man are centered in his home. No matter where we may wander homo isstamned upon our souls; who can forget home and it-> asso ciations. To long for home is praiseworthy —it is well to be homesick sometimes. Mr. Baer is a very graceful speaker, and acquit ted himself very creditably. “The Cosmos” was the subject of an ora tion by Mr. Benjamin Weiss, of IJyne mansville, Pa. A commendable feature of Mr. W’s address was.the loud n.no of voice with which it was spoken. Tho orator argued that tho Universe affords us the very strongest reasons for believing m the existence of a Great Croator. No real eon ilict exists between Religion and Science— in fact the latter strengthens man's bc-tief iu the former. 'J he wonders of the Uni verse argue iu an indisputable munner iu favor of Religion. Mr. Weisa’ address was excellent, and was well spoken, Geo. F. Rosenmiller, of this city, deliv ered a fine oration on “ Wall Street.” Mr. K. argued that every age has its represen tative—so lias tho business of every ago. Wall street represents the speculative spirit now so prevalent, and is a power itithe land. A tew’years ago one or two thousand dollars was considered a large sum of money, now such a sum is of but little im portance. lago has come upon the stage and says to every one “Put money iu thy purse.” All endeavor to do so. In The mid die ages the hero was the aristocrat—now ; money makes the man. Tho speculators ; in Wall street buy property one duv at j premium to sell it the.next day at discount. ! Mr. R. closed, his oration by condemning in eloquent terms tho too great a prevalence ; of speculation among our people. This ora ; lion was one of the best on the programme ; : jt was well written and well delivered. James It. Ratterson, of this city, had for his subject “ Capital Punishment," and, notwithstanding its being a common place theme, Mr. P. by bis earnest and impres sive manner of speaking made it very in teresting to his auditors. A number of reasons why “Capital Punishment” should not be abolished wero ably presented by the speaker. Mr. Patterson spoke loudly enough to bo beard in all parts of llje hall, and gesticulated in an acceptable manner. Tho honorary position on the programme for tho morning session was very properly accorded to Wm. N. Kremer, oi' this city. Tho subject oi' this gentleman’s oration was “ Poetry 0 and Civilization. ’’ Our time and space will not permit ,us to uive a synopsis of ibis truly admirable production. Tiie tine voice of tho speak er enabled him to deliver his oration in a most attractive mauner and the close attention paid to bis remarks by the : audience was very complimentary. It was a noble oration and fitly discussed iu|elo quent language “Poetry and Civilization,” and their mutual intluenco and beneficent qualities. All the speakers were greeted with loud applause and received numbers of beauti ful bouquets from their friends. Tho City Cornet Band at intervals discoursed excel lent music. Wo have been quite free in our comments upon the merits and demerits of the re spective orations. This wo think is proper iu reporting tho exercises of the “College Commencement.“ Tho gentlemen who delivered these orations haro been pur suing an extensive course of studies for four years and ought try this time to be able to acquit themselves creditably as speakers. If they do not, either through inability or through neglect in making the proper preparation, they and thojpublic should bo informed of the fact. Afternoon Session,— At me hour appoint ed lor the exercises of the Afternoon Ses sion to commence (which was 3 o’clock) a very large audience met at Fulton Hall, Jilling it to its utmost capacity ; mnny per sons in the nudienco were compelled-to staud, there being no room for them upon the crowded benches. The 1 idiea of our city, who are always interested in such in tellectual exhibitions, were present in large numbers, and added much to tho brilliancy of the exercises by their graces. After a titling prayer by the Rev. Dr. Nevin, the afternoon’s exercises were open ed by tho delivery of the salutatory ora tion-subject, “Hamlet"—by George W. Snyder, Pa. Mr. Snyder remarked thut utl of the great dramas of the immortal bard, Shakspeare, illusirato some strong and overpowering passion of man, but in Hamlet perhaps more than in any other tho great poet gathers up aM the man—and in him exhibits moreofhuraan miseries and human sorrows than iu any other of his wonderful charac ters. Hamlet is the production of one of the most gifted and richly endowed intellects that ever existed—is it then any cause of wonderment that tbe very ablest minds have never been entirely satisfied as to whether the insanity of Hamlet wus feigned or real. It has been truly suid that Genius works by consciousness and its greatest productions cannot ulways be readily un derstood. Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, was surrounded by every luxury that roy altry could furnish; he was the possessor of a superior education, iu Horace he had a faithful friend, and he was beloved by the gentlo and beautiful Ophelia. Tho in famous murder of his father, and the subse quent speedy marriage of his mother soon however prostrated all his high hopes and ultimately led to his tragical death. He was compelled to give up his gentle Ophe lia—he must be cruel in order o be kind 1 Thespeaker stated that “Hamlet,’’although the most metaphysical, is the most gener ally read of Shukspeare’s plays. In the whole range of dramatic literature tho soli loquies of Hamlet are not excelled. No actor bus lived, or ever will live; capable of entirely representing the character of Ham let—it is impossible to perfectly represent it on the stage. Mr. S. concluded his speech with some' deserved criticisms upon the present vitiated taste of the public which induces it to patronize the “ Black Crook” and “ White Fawn ” to the detriment of the legitimate drama. The address of Mr. S. displayed,in its style of composition and in its delivery sound judgment and good taste. A German oration was next pronounced by Milton J. Hess, of Hellertown,Pa. We were informed that Mr. Hess’ theme was “The Foundations of the World’s History.” The oration appeared to be delivered in an agreeable manner and was loudly ap plauded. Franklin Oration—subject, “The Crisis of Modern Society”—AlbertE.Truxal, Pleas ant Unity, Pa. This oration was very en tertaining, there was nothing labored or tiresome about it, on the contrary it was written in a sprightly and interesting style, and the manner in which it was delivered was unaffected, earnest and impressive. Mr. Truxal slated tbatSociety is an organic unit, the interests of each of its members are the interests of all its members. It is erroneously thought by some that be cause a man is entitled to certain rights that therefore not only all men are alike entitled to them, but that woman likewise is entitled to them. There are great differ ences between men, and there Is no equali ty between the races. Nations also are some of a superior, others of an inferior character. The people of a nation who pos sess the best physical and mental qualities should endeavor to improve the inhabitants of an adjoining nation who are not so much enlightened. It is also the province of So ciety to afford each of its members- an opportunity to derelope his or her nat ural talents, in this way Society will work for the general good, and no tyranny or bloodshed can exist. Ques tions ot vitul interest are now working their way to the surface, but it will require many struggles to attain the desired end. The abolition of slavery and serfdom has paved the way for the consideration of the problem of the relation of Labor to Capital. The relation between the sexes is not deter mined ; nor has the stability of the Repub lican form of government beeu fully tested. The Chinese civilization may become an important element in our society, and its place in our nation will have to be fixed upon. The satisfactory and proper adjust ment of all these questions form the crisis of modern society. This adjustment may be made quietly or it may be the result of war and the destruction of society as it now exists. May a wise Providence ct|rry us safely through the Crisis of Modern Society. Tho “ Marshall Oratioti ’’—subject, “Dis cipline as Related to Culture ami Freedom” whs delivered by Nathaniel '/. Snyder Milford Square,Pa. Mr. S. maintained that the will of man must be so cultivated and so informed that he will spontaneously try to do right. This stage of selt-eontrot can not be reached if the natural desires have full play. Here is found the necessity of tho freedom of discipline. The greatest freedom and true culture is found where a man’s mind is devoted to God. The infant will endeavor to grasp the moon demon strating that, when uncultivated and tin disciplined,the will revolvesontirely’around itself; this tendency must bo cheeked. Mora! persuasion will not answer tho pur pose, it does not furnish in all cases the proper discipline—" Spare the rod aud spoil the child.” If the nature of this discipline was generally recognized the fuet thut three titifes seven years makes a man his own tnau would not be found detrimental to so ciety. When properly cultivated the mind is not tossed to and fro by tho tempests of passion. In short, when disciplined rightly, our miuds will carry us into tho perfect sphere of freedom and will enable us to act in accordance with the commands of our Creator. Mr. Snyder succeeded in present Ing a metaphysical subject with commend able perspicuity. His voice was sufficiently loud, und his gestures were generally mado with proper discrimination. Tho Valedictory Oration by (). L. Ashen felter, of Philadelphia, Pa., was most ex cellent. Tho speaker said that there was no word in the English language more ex pressive than the word “ Farewell.” The “farewells” of conventionalism are cold aud sordid—but there aro partings into which all the feelings of our nature outer. Life at best is but sorrows and tears ; it is full of change—to-day a boy, to-morrow a President of the United Slates: to-day a Statesman, to-morrow a grave; to-day a man, to-morrow a grassy mound ; to-day a greeting, to morrow a farewell; westepont of childhood into the grave. Franklinand Marshall College has made Lancaster our second home ; wo have been welcomed und lionorod by its citizens ; the press has fa vorably noticed our literary efforts; the ladies ;of the city have presented us with benutilul offerings of tlowers expressive of their appreciation—these all deseVvo our thanks and gratitude. Mr. Ashenfelter then addressed the students of the College, the members of tho Board of Trustees, the members of the faculty, and his classmates. Tho language employed by Mr. A., in addressing each, was eloquent and affect ing, and of such a character that no imper fect report of ours cau enable tho reader to fully understand and appreciate its beauty and force. The address indicated that the speaker was fully competent to do justice to the oceasiou, and to fill with dignity and sigual ability the conspicuous and honora ble position assigned him on the pro gramme by the faculty of the College. At the conclusion of tho Valedictory Addtoss tho Band performed the air of “Auld Lang Syne.” The conferring of degrees being next in order, Rov. Dr. Xevin culled over the following list of the names of the Graduating Class: Oliver L. Ashenfelter, Samuel A. Baer, James B. Deshler, Joslah B. Detrich, Wil loughby Donat, Oscar C. Herman, Milton J. Hess, J. Finley Hoke, William X. Kre mer, David B. Lady, James K. Patterson, George F. Kosenmiller, George W. Snyder, Nathaniel Snyder, John M. Souder, Al bert E. Truxal, Benjamin Weiss, D. llenrv Wingerd, Kuril graduate as his name was called look a position on tho platform, and the class then formally received their diplomas. Dr. Xevin then addressed a few nppropri ate remarks to the Graduates, after which the audience joined in singing “ Gloria in t.rcclcix," and were dismissed with the benediction. Kkv. C. Weiser’s ADDREss.-Notwilh standing the Commencement Exercises of the Female Collegiate Institute at Fulton Hall, a large and appreciative audience as sembled iu tho Court House at 8 o’clock, yesterday evening, to hear the address of Rev. C. W'-iser, the Biennial Orator of the GaMbiati Literary Society of Franklin and Marshall College. Ills subject was “His Excellency and his Aceidency.” The speaker said the examples of great men show that childhood is the history of tho coming man. Every man is tho architect of his own genius, and therefore should know his talents in order that the}’ may be properly directed. Some say ttmt man is a creature of circumstan ces—others hold that he makes circum stances ; this gives us either bis excellency or his accidenc}’. Circumstances have much to do with the man but who will maintain thut circumstances make a man where there was no man before—they are not creative. The speaker next proceeded to consider the relation of man to the circumstances which surround him. Some individuals consider their dross tbe merest circumstance while others give their clothing the greatest conHderation ; remove from the latter their line clothes and all is gone. Before the lirst pair were struck with the clothes mania they were more human. This clothes mania gives us many ladies and gentle men and but few men and women, what nre all those but shoddy on one hand or silks on the other—where clothes make tbo inau we have his aceidency.— Jt is true no man is entirely independent of circumstances, but nevertheless a man can master them ; ten thousand hurricanes can not make an oak, but they can warn) its growth, bending it from its natural direc tion—they nre circumstances merely. As long as (hreumstunces remain cfrcuuistancea tbe man is all right, but as soon as they be come appcTstances he is gone; The power to overeume them is giveu to every man in embryo by his Creator. As a consummated fact, when is this man his excellency and thut man his aceidency? The masses reply as he sinks or swims; tho truth is that prophets, apostles and heroes become mar tyrs among the masses. With the rabble a man is his excellency or his aceidency as .he is successful or unsuccessful, but popular success or temporary fortune is no true cri terion. His excellency is he who attains the destiny which his geuius indicates. Man is an engine, his mind is the motor, his genius tho pathway, and bis destiny tbe goal—he is excellent only who iB true to himself. All men are not to be placed in one mould ; we can have but one Washington, one Jackson, ouo Lincoln, one Johnson, one Grant. None but originals are born, and men may bo antipodes but equally excel lent. To every one, be he preacher, physi cian, merchuut, or artisan, we say “ his excellency”—be what you were intendod to be. Tho address was well delivered and was listened to with marked attention to its close by the large audience present. Re-union and Convention of the Or der of Chi Phi.— The annual (Convention of the Chi Phi Fraternity was held with the Zeta Chapter of this city. The Convention was called to order at 4 o’clock, P. M., on Wednesday, in the Sons of Temperance Hull, opposite the Court House. Delegates from nine Chapters were present, coming from four different States. The first session closed on Wednesday evening; two subse quent sessions have since been held, Tbe re-union of the Order was beld in Fulton Hall on Wednesday evening after the Alumni Address. A bounteous feast was provided for tbe occasion, and the guests did full justice to the good things. Rev. J. H. Dubbs, A. M., ofPottstown, presided. members of the Order, representing the different professions and business avocations, partook of the rich feast. There was also a “ feast of reason and a flow of soul. Tho room- had been previously decorated by the lady friends. A large skeleton badge, representing the Greek letters Chi and Phi, made of box wood, was suspended against the wall over the presiding officer’s chair, tastefully draped with the symbolical colors of the Order—Scarlet and Blue. Numerous toasts were responded to, according a to pro gramme previously prepared. Among the responses made by gentlemen of this city, wore those by Thos. J. Davis and J. W. Yocum, Esqs. The re-union closed at a late hour, with the singing of an Ode com posed for the occasion, and the Benedic tion pronounced by one of tbe clerical brothers present. During Commencement exercises Thurs day,the large Chi and Phi werecarried and presented to Jas. R. Patterson on the stage, at the close of bis speech. After the morn ing session the Order formed in front of.the Hall, under the Marshalship of D. J. Esh bach, and preceeded by the City Cornet Band, escorted the graduating brothers, Mr. Patterson, Mr. Hoke and Mr. Baer, to their homes, passing[through our principal streets, and carrying the green badge at tbe bead of the column. Speeches wero made by each one thus honored. The Convention held its last session yes terday afternoon, and adjourned sine die w ith a resolution of thanks for the kindness of the Daily Intelligencer and Express in publishing the proceedings of the Conven tion,. Local Miscellaxt.— M. L. Greider, of Rapbo township, has sent to the Inquirer office, two stalks of oats with very large heads. The one has one hundred and sixty eight grains on it, and the other one hun dred and forty-seven. This is “ seme oats, and Rapbo would be glad to know if any township in Lancaster county cau beat ifi John F. Herebey, of Salisbury township, cut a lot of wheat on the 2-itb of June, that was fully ripe. It is of a variety called tbe “Grant Wheat,” and is of excellent quality. Mr. Hershey has about five acres of this wheat. Marriot Brosius, Esq., of Ibis city, has been engaged by tbe Grand Lodge of I. 0. G. T., of Pennsylvania, as lecturer on the subject of temperance in this State during the coming year. j In the local department of the Harrisburg ; Telegraph it is stated that the Pennsylva* j nia Railroad Company has obtained the [ control of the majority of the stock of tbe [ Philadelphia and Reading Railroad, and I that the road will be leased by the Penn- [ aylvania Railroad Company, in order to give them a through line to New York and [ direct communication with the great Pacific i Railroad. ; Messrs. Davis <3fc Potts, of Martic town ship, this county, the present season cut and gathered from five acres, full sixteen tons of timothy aud clover hay. This may be considered un extraordinary yield. At the last meeting of the Teachers’ County Institute, held in this city, Prof. J. V. Montgomery, of the Slate Normal School, Millersville, offered a silver medal to any pupil in the public schools, who could show tbe greatest improvement iu peumansbip from that lime uutil the end of four mouths. Tbe specimens have been sent in and examined, and the award made to Master Hiram Musser, of the Franklin School, East Donegal township, his speci mens showing the greatest progress iu the art Tho Manheim Sentinel states that Abra ham Dummy has sold his property, con sisting of dwelling aud two full lots of ground, on the corner of South Churlotte and Ferdinand streets, that borough, to J. B White, for sl,‘JjU. Mr. W’a object in purchasing this properly was with a view of securing a site for the proposod Episco pal Church to be erected iu that place. It' is a beautiful location. The Columbia Spy states that several of the citi/.eus of that borough, who boarded the excursion truin from Gettysburg, ou Thursday evening last, tor tho purpose of seeing Gun. Meade, were operated upon by pickpockets. Among tho persons the light fingered gentry favored wero Samuel Alli son und C. Hollingsworth, of that placo. The rogues wero detected before any booty was obtuinod. A Cutup Meeting of the M. E. Church, under tho auspices of tho Harrisburg Dis trict, will be held on the lands of It. W. Coleman’s Heirs «£ Co,, about ono mile from Lobatiou, commencing on Thursday, July 2*J. Ilia expected to be the largest meet ing ever held iu this section, uud will bo attended by tho charges of Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Reading, Columbia, Potts ville, and many other places. It will prob ably continue several weeks. Pic-Nic at Marietta.—A large and very pleasant pic-nic was given last Satur day by the ladies of Mariotta aud vicinity, in Mr. Duffy’s fino park, which was kindly placed at thoir disposal for tho occasion. The Park Is about a inilt£from the village, and a hotter place for a pic-nic cannot any where he found. In thpainplo pavilion the dancers danced all daylongto the inspiring music of Prof. Schmeid's orchestra ; others played croquet beneath tbe trees : some de voted themselves to archery until ull the arrows wero shot away and all tho bows wero broken ; the aged and lazy reclined against the tree butts, and numerous pairs of lovers now wandered through the grove, and then—as the heat within and the heat without threatened them with spontann »u? combustion—sought tho spring in >!;i arbor at the pond side or Mrs. Haldeuiuu’s lemonado tub. Towards evening wo saw several young men ostentatiously parading a withered leaf fastened in n button hole. A lady surely had given it, but it was a uew emblem to us. What-did it typify? After much cogitation wo determined that its tender was a confession ou the part of tho young lady, that under tho fierce heat of the love with which she was assailed, she had wilted, withered and gone all to pieces, and was ready to surrender at dis cretion wbat little was left of herself to a speedy incorporation with another stem. We did not got a withered leaf; but we are going for them heueafter, and from our next picnic wo have vowed to return with some choice specimens. Guests were pres ent on this occasion from Lancaster, York, Columbia and other plncesat a distance. It was an exceedingly pleasant affair, and its administration reflected groat credit upon tho two young ladies who were its mana gers, Miss E. J. H , of Cliques, and Miss P , of Marietta. After dancing the German, about nine o'clock, tho pic-nic broke up and theguests departed. The night was dark and stormy, but by the kind aid of frequent and bril liant flashes of lightning we wound our devious way along, and all got safely home:, The Pseudo Lonostrf.kt and His Lan- ! caster Friends.— The Harrisburg Patriot i says : Dick Loucks, whom wo mentioned i as having been imprisoned on Friday for ; drunkenness, represented himself to the radicals of Lancaster city a short time since as General Longstreet. Being of good ap pearance, and detailing some of the im portant battles in which the rebel com mander purticiputed during the rebellion, Dick succeeded in ingratiating himself with a large number of radicals, among whom was oue of the Exjtrcss editors. lie was the “ big dog of tbe tan-yard,” anJ receiv ed every conceivable mark of courtesy and attention—not excepting a copious supply of tbo spirituous. Tho name of “ Long street” spread with the rapidity of light ning, and before the lapse of many hours tbe magnet of bis sobriquet had attracted to j his presence hundreds of radicals, who vied I with each other in doing him honor, tho I Express editor bearing a conspicuous part. J But alas! Dick become involved in some; little scheme that led to the discovery of | bis legitimate name, but not until he'had ; drawn heavily on Ids udtnirors. Enraged | at tbe sell they commeneod a war of persecution, and bad him taken before tbo Mayor of Lancaster, where be con fessed that bo was “ Dick Loucks, of York Slate.” Ho remained in custody a short time, when bo left for other quar ters. A few days ago lio came to Harris burg, and, falling iu with some Radicals, spoke of tbo magnificent reception ac corded hint at Lancaster— how tbo people flocked around him, what eulogies were passed on bis commanding appearance, how bis merits were extolled and his pa -1 triotic course in arraying himself on the 1 side of tho government was commended. These representations had the effect of win niug to him a number of Radicals here one ot whom was (a prominent oue, by the way) induced to loan him ten dollars. No Democrat, we believe, was “ bamboozled” by Dick, consequently tho “ illy-concealed ill-temper” of the Patriot existed only in the fertile imagination ol the Express. He did not come here “ with a retinue of color ed female servants,” but with a story of tbe esteem in which bo was held by bis new-fledged friends of Lancaster. We pity the Express— its gullibility while tbe pseudo Long3treet was iu Lancaster it can not forgot. At the bearing before the Mayor, Loucks marched up promptly when bis name was announced, and in a very intelligent man ner answered tbe interrogatories propound ed to him by tbe Mayor. He explained bis recent conduct by stating that it was entire ly traceable to tbe influence of strong drink. He spoke lucidlyoftheposition be occupied when at home and In the full possession of bis faculties, of his family connections and of his service in the Union army. He also mentioned his Lancaster experience and how the radicals of that city were led into mistaken identity. Ho said he did not rep resent himself as General Longstreot until he saw that a large number believed him to be the veritable gentleman, when be car ried on tho joke to such an extent that he became saturated with liquors of all kinds. Thejresults of his indiscretion followed him to|Hurrisburg where he became even more dissipated. While the police were in the act of arresting him on Frfday he hurried ly gulped down three drinks of whisky. He stated further that if they had not made their appearance be would have surrender ed himself to the Mayor for the purpose of reformation. After the termination of bis story the Mayor requested Rev. Mr, Thompson, who was prerent, to offer pray er in behalf of the unfortunate man : which was accordingly done. Loucks then thank ed the Minister and tbe Mayor for their kindness, and departed with a seeming purpose to do better.

Serious Accident.—A boy ten years of age, a son of Mr. Andrew Boreman, who resides in Pequea twp., this county, met with quite a serious accident on Thursday afternoon. The boy in some way got his right leg caught iu a mowing machine-, the knives of which so mutilated it that the am putation of the limb was rendered neces sary. This painful operation was success fully performed by Dr. Carpenter, of this city, and Dr. Miller, of Lampeter. The un fortunate lad’s left leg was also badly cut by the knives of the machine. The Fourth.— There was no organized celebration of the Fourth in this city, yes terday,by the authorities. The church bells were rung at intervals, and “ Young America” made itself heard by the great number of pistols, squibs, fire-crackers, <fec., fired off in honor of the nation’s birth day. A very large number of our citizens visited the country, many of them going to Liliz to attend the celebration at that place. The Lancaster Fire Zouaves paraded and fired salutes at the four ends of the city. The firemen’s parade was a creditable affair, and partially prevented what would otherwise have proven an exceedingly monotonous day. All the banks and stores were closed and business was entirely suspended Picnics were held at various places in the suburbs of the city, at someof which there appears to have been fighting as well as dancing. These contests, although wordy and in some in stances attended with blows, did not result as far as we ciu learn in the serious injury of any of the combatants. At the Saloons, in the neighborhood of the.depot of the Penna. R. R.. considerable wrangling and brawling was indulged in, but further than a few bloody noses—nobody was hurt. In the evening at many private resi dences fireworks were displayed, which were highly creditable to those who were instrumental in getting them up. Wo are informed by those who are old inhab itants that the quantity of powder burnt yesterday in Lancaster was greater than at any “Fourth” in their recollection. Fro ur' early dawn until late at night in all direc tions, could be heard the reports of guns, ' pistols, and fire crackers, etc., which in tbe bands of juveniles and even grown persons were fired in honor of the occasion. THE DAY AT LITI'Z. The usually quiet village of Litiz was the scene of bustle and excitement yesterday. From early in the morning until 7 o’clock in the evening visitors arrived iu crowds with every train and in private convey ances from all parts of.tbe county. Ilia estimated that there must have boeu from 7,000 to 8,000 persons in and about the Spring Grounds during the evening In accordance with a time honored custom the celebratiou of the Fourth of July ut Luiz was quite imposing and extensive in char acter. Iu the forenoon there was nothing occur red of a public character to attract tbe at tention of the visitors, and many of them in groups and couples whiled awuy the few hours of the morning iu strolls through the village and over tho tipring Grounds. We Imd tbe pleasure ot meeting a few genial friends, fmn Philadelphia, Messrs. Howard Barton, Christ, Keen, and others, besides Messrs. Lichteuthaler, Tsbudy, aud citizens of Liliz, in whose company we spent a very agreeable time, and drove awuy tbe monotony of the morn ing hours in various pleasures. In the ulternoon the Order of the United American Mechanics mado a parade which was very creditable for a local demonstration. At 1 o’clock the parado formed and moved oil'at 11 in the following order : Chief Marshal—Col. Win, L. B ar, of Conestoga Council, No 8. Aids-il. M.

A difficulty arising between some Co lumbia bloods who had considerable “steam up" and some of our city youths re sulted in some fighting which interrupted the pleasures of the atiernoou for a short time. Iu the evening the Spring Grounds* were brilliantly illuminated’; the lights being ar ranged in pyramids, semi-circles, etc., many being new in design, and retlected credit upon tbe Committee of Arrange ments. The display of tire-works was also very line, and was Viewed with delight by the spectators. The Litiz Springs Hotel was thronged during the entire day. The proprietor, Mr. Grider and his obliging clerk, Capt. Philip Sprecher, were untiring in their efforts to accommodate the immense number of their guests. Tbe Hotel is in the most flourish ing condition, is daily adding to its well earned reputation, aud its list of boarders for tbe summer is also increasing. A Cheat Curiosity. — yianuscri))t of L'd <jar A. Poe. —Wo .were show'll recently by Lieut. J. M. Johnston of this dry, the or* iginal manuscript of Edgar A. Poe’s cele brated story entitled “ The Murders in the Hue Morgue.” Lieut. Johnston obtained the manuscript about tho year Js-io while an apprentice boy in the pruning establish ment of Barrett A Cn., in Philadelphia. Thu manuscript lias been pieserved with great care and lias been handsomely bound by its tortunate owner. The story is written in the “lino print like hand ” for which the poet was famous, oil large sheets of heavy unruled foolscap paper. It seems to us that the copy must have been rewritten very carefully for the printer by Poe as all the punctuation marks capital letters, italicised words, and para graphs are carefully designated which could hardly be the case in the first writing of a story by.anv author—especially a story evincing so much thoughtful analysis as “The murders in the Hue Morgue.” There are sixteen and a half closely written pages of tho manuscript. Tho tldrd page does not contain a single erasure or interliuea ti'-n whilst theother pages contuin compar atively few, and those are principally where the writer has abbreviated or altered bis mo;bod of expressing an idea by sub stituting a short for a long sentence or by striking out some words in a sentence as surplusage. It also appears that the author has carefully read over the mauuscript, even after transcribing it, and in some in stances has substituted a different word for the one first written, nud in a few places he has on the margin of tho pages— purposely left wide—interpolated sentences. Every word in the manuscript is Bpelled correctly, and written so plainly that the dullest typographer would have no difli culty in deciphering the copy. The perusal of the manuscript of “ Tho Murders in the Rue Morgue” substantiates the statement made by Poe in bis “Ptnlos phy of Composition” that his prose nnd poetry were not merely the result of an “ ecstatic intuition” but lather of the most careful mental processes. Tho plot of the story, the manuscript of which is before us, is familiar to all who have read the works of the author of “ The Raven it is elabor ately conceived and consummately execu ted ; its incidents, although improbable and mysterious, are within the limits of possi bility. It is this latter faculty of investing the unreal with the attributes of reality that renders the stories of Edgar A. Poe so fas cinating, and which has secured for him a proud position among those great writers— now passed away—who by their extonsive scholastic attainments and clear, concise, classic style have so greatly ennobled American literature and thereby won for themselves imperishable renown.

On the arrival of the 11.15 A. M train the Philadelphia visitors were met at the P. R. R. Depot by their friends. The line of procession was then formed on Chestnut street, the right resting on Duke, in the following order: Washington Fire Company, with Hose Carriage. American Fire Company, with Hose Car riage and Engine. Calico Hose Company of Philadelphia ; 50 men in line. Shiffier Fire Company, with Hose Carriage.

The Company had with them their Hose Carriage with 1500 feet of hydrant hose, and were pro ceeded by the Ellsworth Band ot Philadel phia, containing 16 members. R. W. Sbenk, Esq., of the Shiftier, acted as Chief Marshal of the procession with John I. Hartman, ot the Washington, and Samuel H. Price, Esq., of tho American, as Aids, The procession, although small in numbers, made a very handsome appear ance and elicited much attention all along the route, which was as follows : Up Duke to Lemon, out Lemon to North Queen, down North Queen to Centre Square up East King to Ann countermarch to ChuVch, do.\n Church to Vine, down Vine to South Queen, down South Queen to Shif tier Hose and Engine House. At the Shiftier Hose House an elegant collatiou was served up to tho visiting Firemen.

The tine baud “Ellsworth's,’ which accompanied the visitors from Phil adelphia, serenaded Col. Dickey, Maj. R. W. Slienk aud other members oi the “.'hi HKt" last night. To day the Philadel phia boys enjoyed themselves to the “top of ibeir beui" in our city, and left ut 4 o’clock this afternoon for their homes, where a grand reception awaits them, in which some twenty-one Philadelphia Eire Companies will participate. Matters in Carnarvon.— A correspon dent ot the Pottsville Standard writes ns follows from Caonarvon twp., this county : Churchtown is located in the eastern part of Lancaster county, in Caenarvon town ship, on tho north bank of the Couestogn creek. This part of the county was settled by emigrants from Wales, in tho com mencement of the eighteenth century.— fhey built n church in tho place about 1730, and named it Bangor, alter Bangor in Wales. The remains of many of the orig inul proprie'ors he in the church yard, and dates as early us 1735 (i may be seen on many of tho tombstones. The mountain which runs south of tho town still retains the namn “ Welsh Miounlains." Church town contains several stores unj taverns ami various places of business. South of the villugo are some iron works, but they ary standing idle at present. On Windsor Forge Banks there is a house standing which was built in 17u0, and is now occu pied by a family. It was tho Mansiou House ut the iron works In thoso early days. In the villi.go aro three churches, Presbyterian, Methodist and Episcopal, and a largo Academy, which was erected by tbe late Mrs. Catharine Jenkins, or ut least she was instrumental in having it done. Mr. T. H. Reifsnyder is now Priucinal of the school, anti bus succeeded iu building up a largo school. This part of the county is a splendid agricultural district. Tho farmers ure making hay, and tho wheat harvest, one of the host ever raised in tho county, will soon bo ready for the roapers. It is thought that tbore will bo an uverago yield of twenty-live to thirty bushels per acre. The grass is not quite so heavy as it might be, but there will be a middling crop of buy. Corn is short, but looks well, has a good color, and should July oiud August be favorable we may expect a good crop. Tbe prospect for a fruit crop is much better tbun it has been for the last ten years. Peach trees aro very full. Apples will be rather plenty, somo trees aro very full, From present appearances wo will bo able to purchase a little fruit to put us through tho coming winter. Farms in this section of the county sell at one hundred and fifty to one hundred and eighty dollars an acre; the farms are all well improved, good houses, aud bank burns, many of them one hundred feet long and generally painted. Mr. John Horst who lives about one half mile north of the town, has a large bunk barn one hundred feet loDg, painted a beautiful straw color. It makes a splendid appearance. From surface indications, It is thought there are large bodies of iron ore iu this part of tho county. Severn! companies are now t\t work, they have leased largo tracts of land, some of them have found consider able ore. The people of this section of the county labor under great disadvantages by not having a Railroad convenient. They have all tbe requisites to muko a first class business place out of Cburcluown. Water power, iron ore and capita’, and all that is necessary, are at their disposal. All they want is a little more enterprise. ArriDENTs. —George Evans ngod 11 years, a son of Mr. Jacob Evans residing in West Orange street, this city, had part of a finger blown off, yesterday morning, by the premature discharge of a pistol.
