Franfclin and marshall College. BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE INSTITUTION, ARTICLE IV. In going on to speak of what the College is, as a local interest for the people of Lan caster city and county, it seems first of all necessary to oonsider what it is in its own nature and design, as dlstingnlshed from other institutions.* For it is not to be taken for granted that this is at once plain and evident to all persons. There are many among us, no doubt, especially out in the country, who, when they hear or the College, have only a very dim and confused notion of what it means; other than this simply that they know it to be a great school of some sort where young men go to get learning. It Is all important for our present object then to bring into view, as plainly as pos sible in few words, what the institution Is, and what place exactly it holds amoDg the general, social and educational interests of our community; since only so can the com munity at large bo expected to take any intelligent interest in its favor. The College is not wbat is commonly un derstood by a High School. That belongs to the system of Common Scboolß, and is intended to be the crowning top or summit of this system. Its object is to furnish the ne.cessary advantages for carrying out the ideuofgeneral education, as it is concerned with ordinary practical life, to its highest perfection; and its province accordingly, takes in only such studios as belong to such broad; popular training. There may be partly indeed the same studies that are needed for college education; which then, as far as they go, prepuro the way for a proper college course; but with such schools this is an incidental service rather than any part of their original design.— They simply complete the Common School system in its own distinctive character and sphere. In the second place, the College is not a Normal School. This lias ior its object the preparation of young men and women to become teachers in our common schools. All can see how important it is to have teachers properly qualified for such service; and with what good reuson it is, therefore, that the State encourages anil suppoits iu-j stitutions of this sort. The most important , of these Stale Normal Schools is the Hour- • ishing institution in our own county, now ; under caro of Principal Edward IJrooka, ut Millersville. It is an ornament to the eoun- ; ty, as well as- un honor to the public spirit of tho community iu the midst of which it j has grown to its pr. sont very prosperous ( condition. lierks county, which wua once ' branded as tho '* dark corner ’ of Pennsyl vania, houstsof another school ufiins order, the “Key atone Normal" at Ivulzlown, i under the cure of the Uev. .J. L. Ermen- i trout. There are altogether four Normal , Schools now at work in the State, and the I general plan contemplates the establish- ! menl of eight oiheis ; which it is supposed, 1 .will bo ns many as t in- object of their insti tution requires. Hire again the inngeof education may take in, and doc* lake in, ' studies which look uUo to other spheres ol ; training; studies of «m u kind with those be- 1 longing to the liighSrhool, and so as in the case of the High School itself studies prop erly preparatory also for a regular college course. Any such ministry, however, is by the way only, and lalls not within tho original purpose.of the Slate Normal School. On this point our honorable Smto-Supprin tendent uf Common Schools, Mr. Wicker sham, goes so far as lo say in his last An nuul Keport: “ Academical students, or students who do not desire to become teachers, should never have hern admitted into the Annual School. Seven hundred and seventy of this class of students attended tho Normal Schools during the past year. They certainly, in many instances, crowd ■ out those who desire to make preparation to leach, and the effect of their presenco is to disturb tho morale of the Schools. If the practice is continued, some of our State Normal Schools will soon degenerate into . mere seminaries, with leacheis’ classes." Theso certainly arc wise words, deserv ing to bo well laid m heart by all who lake a comprehensive inierest in tho cause of education within our Slate. This cannot bo promoted by jumbling together its dif ferent departments in a loose promiscuous way; but requires ruber their proper dis tinction, by which ihcy tuny bo brought lo work into one ai.olh* r, each in its own or der and sphere, so as in teach in the end together their proper whole and united or ganic effect. Then v.e should have the conception mnualized of wlmt might bo called a true university education ; in other words, the wholeness of knowledge .made to tell upon tho well-being of society us a whole. In any Mich university scheme, the Normal Hchool would of course stand out as something very different from the High School ; while the College, at the sutno time, would at once be roeoguized as essentially different also from both. They both belong to the. system of Common Schools ; whereas the idea of a College car ries us out of that system, and beyond it iuto another province of education alto gether. Let it not be imagined, however, that there is for this reason any natural oppo sition between college*and comm -i: schools. Wo might us well diraei .» natural want of agreement urn ,i • iu« dub-rent members of the ‘••a i>: i - b'.;;.. 'file lwo orders of edu cation :u i- req lin-d b> go together. Neither can be compute in its own form, without tin' presence and assistance of the oilier. Thu true university of learning calls for both. Colleges, it is clear, need the basis of a good common school system for their proper suppuit ; while it is no less certain, that common M-bcls can never bo what they ought to be without a good college system. Only in the proper combination of both, can we have a healthy and vigor ous social life. As the C’o!ii';;c U nut a High School, nor u Normal School ho neither again ip it un Academy or Urammur School. Such an in stitution may be directly ussoiMuicd with n college, in which <m*o it becomes what is culled its Prcjuiratory Department; but it is itseirno part of what u college properly means. The Academy comes after the common school, ami is intended to provide lor that degree of higher education which is required lor entering on a regular college course, haying for its formal object and purpose in tins way, what may bo done also by the High School or the Normal School (as we have already seen) Incident ally as it were, and apart from their main design. In any case such preparatory dis cipline should not ho confounded witli what it only makes room for college education in tho full and proper sense ol the term. Equally wrong is it in the next place, to confound the i<ha ( f q collego education, ua is Nometitims done, with that of a direct training for what are commonly known and spoken of as the burned proiessions.— Tho College, as >m h, is not a Law School, nor a Medical School, nor a Theological Seminary, it comes before these of right, and prepares the way for them ; but it is not by any means its province and oilice, to turn <mt physicians, lawyers, or ministers of tho Gospel. It has to do with tho general cultivation of the mind, in a form which holds tho same relation alike to all theso professions, and cannot be considered there fore us looking toward any One of them in a separate and paiticular way. 1 1 is of vast account to know that there is I in truth such a sphere of higher education broad and general in its character, inde pendent of the professions and g-.-ing before them', from only as u common liberal cul lure they can draw subsequently their full dignity uud strength. Culture under this wide liberal or fro ' view 1 , as distinguished from all merely pndVs ioiial training, is tho object specifically which the institution of colleges, properly so called, was intended originally to serve. Here only, at hi'-t, comes into view what a college moans, in distinction from other educational agencies ami power’s, whether coming before it or following after it in the geuerul social sys tem. But what has now been said.brings us at ' once, ua ull may readily see, to a still wider < discrimination than thut first made in 10 ganl to the so-called learned professions, j These learned professions (Divinity, Modi- j 1 cine and Law,) are in a fair way them - 1 solves, as we often hear it remarked now, ! of losing in our time tho prestiges of this i complimentary title. Not simply because of : the lurgo umoimtol .most unlearned quack ery that has crept into the practice of them ou all sides, ibut still more, because it is coming to bcdundersloud, as it was not for merly, that i/lker prolc-ssious also demand learning, anjU oilVr no less room for it in their different spheres of work. Not to mention s/iti-smon, who are presumed gen erally t'/ be lawyers, let any one con sider ojfly what tho editorial orjournahs tiC seiwice hsu grown to be in this view for our age, one of the learned professions with a vengeance; and among thesecular powers that be in some respects assuredly the high est. But the range of proiessioual learning takes a much wider swoep than this. It ex tends to every province of modern business and art. For science is at work everywhere iu the service of life; aud it needs learning and study everywhere to turn it to full practical account. Agriculture thus has become a learned prolession ; so bus Com merce ; so. Engineering, Mining, and all manufactures. In this way thoold bounda ries uud terms of professional education ure found to bo altogether unsatisfactory, and efforts are made to meet the new wunts of the age by new educational institutes suited to Buch manifold mJed: hence now our Agricultural Colleges, our Commercial Col leges, and our Polytechnic Colleges of every grade and type. Here then we are met with the question, How does this now style of education (the uprising genius, wo may call it, of Young America and the Nineteenth Century) stand related to the distinctive idea of tbo old-time College as wo kavo it at present under consideration? ” To this question I reply, that the case is exactly parullel with that wo have already seen to be tho rolutiou between the College and the old professional faculties of schools of theology, medicine, aud law. Let these now departments of practical, professional learning take, if need bo, their co-ordinate rank along with tbe older departments; still they are all alike in this, that they are intended to qualify young men directly for employments and pursuits in life, aud iu this view therefore fall not within tbe scope and range of what we have seen to be the proper object of a college. Hence I add to what I have said before, that a college, as now under consideration, is not a Polytechnic Institute in any form or shape. In one word, it has nothing to do with pro fessional trainiug as such, whether tbe ob ject of it be to. make doctors, lawyers, clergymen, politicians, editors, farmers, merchants, civil engineers, or anything else. The proviuco of the college, I repeat, is sim ply general human oulture, or education primarily and mainly for its own sake. Hero again, It is hardly necessary to say, there is nothing unfriendly In die relation between colleges and polytechnic schools. Why should t§ere be more than in tho rela- THE EAJSTO ASTER WEEKLY IHTEELIQHISrCEIt.-WEDHESPA.y, JXTLIZL2I, 1869. tlon which colleges hold to law schools, divinity schools, or medical schools? We honor and welcome all institutions that seek to bring learning and science into the service of our general secular life. Only let them not in doing this, pretend to supersede the office of the college In its old form, as if business learning and- money-making knowledge were the all in all of learning! Ah if there were no liberal or free education now other than that which is outwardly professional and technical, and which is con« cerned only with the perishing utilities of our present life! For the Intelligencer. “ IKBIDF.” It is truly amusing to notice with what a spirit of noble generosity, and self-sacrific ing devotion to their country’s welfare, the Republicans of Lancaster county are com ing forward and offering to take upon themselves the responsibility of filling the different positions in which vacancies oc cur this fall. Inasmuch as the election is for the most important offices in the county, the nominatious of this year, are fraught with uuusual importance, and so it is, ibat, as we have said, the “trooly loil” are ready and anxious to servo their county and State in stations of public usefulness. Knowing that do fitness of Lhe Democratic nominee, or unfitness on the part of the Republican candidate for any position, can materially influence the result, it is intense * ly interesting for a disinterested Democrat to watch the schemes of the wire pullers in the Republican camp. Now that the adop tion of the “Crawford County System” has somewhat weakened the influence of the powerful Thug combination, it has be come necessary for the Grand Mogul of Thuggery and his followers to unite their interests with those who but a short time since (as an equally corrupt combination) wt-ro their bitterest enomiespolitieally.— It is currently rumored that the very mep who a few years ago were anti-Tbug and pretended to be unselfish workers in the interests of the people, aro now the leaders in the combination. Of course the spoils for either party are not as groat iu case of success as under the old arrangement,' but then their chances of success are arc-ally increased by the ooulition. “ Rap” is of course oil bund holding the wires and pulling them in the interests oi his ardent supporters ; the disappointed candidate for Congress is active also, as well as the lesser dignitaries of the King iu the rural dis tricts. Of their new allies notie are more zealous than the redoubtable Major of Sus quehanna fame, himself a candidate for Senatorial honors. Our Congressman find ing the political excitement rather high, and fearing lest any positivo action on his support might endanger his chances lor re nomination, has retired to tho: Whito Mountains, while bis pet officials ure re quired yo “ lay low and say nothing.” As Uio successful candidates lbr Legislature, are supposed to be the* ablest to serve di rectly the interests of their constituents, the scramble for those positions is the most ex citing, i'or the .Senate, the Express strong ly supports Billingfolt, und urges the Aon cst wing of the parly to re elect him.

J. the President and His Cabinet on Ike Vlrglula Election. It appears that while tho President is satisfied with tho results of the late Virginia election some ot the members of his Cabinot, including Messrs. Boutwell and Creswoll, uro hot satistiod, and are working in behalf of Wells and the ultraßadicais of Virginia to have the good work done in that Slate upset by Congress. Now, as tins recon struction business will admit of no further trilling or factious resistance, it becomes the duty of the President to impress this consideration upon his Cabinot in a way which will not admit ot misunderstanding. He ought to inform the members of his Cabinet that bo among them who is not with his chief on this important matter, but in uctive opposition to him, must surrender his objections or his place. Tho President can do nothing with n discordant Cabinet, and it is his first duty, as he himself has clearly indicated, to securo a Cabinet that will be a tinit, whatever tho changes re quired to this great end. Of all thiDgs it is of the highest moment to the President that hs shall be the head'of his administration.-- N. Y. Herald. Accltlcut on the llplon yncillc F.

We found the members one and all la serious trouble. From the mo ment they arrived in town until the last one of them departed, they were each and all constantly besieged ana bored by a swarm of office seekers who were buzzing about from morning until night like flies in a butcher’s shop. These importunate beggars laid wait for the members of the committee at the hotels, waylaid them on the street corners, halted them on tbe Court House steps, cornered them in the corridors of the building, and button-holed them in the Or phans’ Court Room. We do not wonder at resolution was adopted declaring that at tbe next meeting of the committee none should be admitted except members. The hour having arrived for tbe meet ing of the Committee the Chairman attempted to call the assemblage to order, but the room was so densely crowded by the ravenous office seekers that to obtain anything like order proved to be impossi ble. Amid mnch confusion tbe Chairman proceeded to state the object of the meeting to be the fixing of tbe day for holding the primary elections. Various substitutions wero presented and tho substitutes admit ted. Hon. E Billiogfelt offered a series of amendments to the rules heretofore adopted for the conduct of the primary election under tbe Crawford county system. His proposed amendments were substantially as follows : To have tbe officers to swear each other to condnct the election fairly and impartial ly ; to have names of each person offering to vote publicly announced so that his right so to do might be clearly ascertained; to have the ticket presented by each voter publicly read alond before de positing it in the ballot-box; to have the number of votes recorded for each candi date announced every twenty minutes; to have the votes all counted at the closing of the polls, and the total vote then announced: and to have the ballot-boxes brought with the ballots in them to the meeting of tbe Return Judges. • On presenting his amendments Mr. Bil lingfelt made a speech, in which he de dared that charges of cheating had been so widely circulated that the people were greatly dissatisfied. That it was believed that tho ballots had been tampered with in certain districts, and the count fixed up to suit interested parties. To avoid this out rage and to remove this cause of compluint, he proposed the adoption of the additional rules. Mr. Burkholder in opposing tho amend ments suggested that the officers hail no legal right to swear each other. He declar ed it would disgrace the party to confess that it was neccesary to bind the officers by an oath to perform their duties fairly. Mr. Billiogfelt admitted that the oath proposed would not Ihave Judicial solem nity and sanction, but he thought tho mem bers of the party were not so completely demoralized as not to regard an oath of that kind as morally binding. He believed something of the kind was necessary to insure purity in the primary elections. He said the amendment was not of his own suggestion, but that they had been propos ed and urged by some of the best and pur est men of the party. Mr. Johnson thought the consideration of the proposed amendments would take up tbe whole jlay, and he moved (hey be print ed and referred to a special meeting to be held on Monday the 26th. A. J. Kauffman, Esq., of Columbia, said there was no necessity for printing them as be had a Cumberland county Democratic paper in his pocket, which contained a similar series ot rules. He had just returned from that county, nud leading Democrats there assured him that a year or two more of tho Crawford County System would an nihilate tbe Democratic majority. The sys tem had led to the most infamous corrup tion in this county. In Columbia ho knew one man who bad sold himself to three dif ferent candidates for the same office, and was no doubt ready to sell himself again for u small consideration. The hip hurrah boys all had to be bought. Some were satisfied with a glass of beer, others with a dollar, lie was opposed to the Crawford Couuty System, and was not afraid to say so at all times. lie would vote for Mr. Billingfelt’s amendments, because be would do all he could to strangle the system with red tape, ; if it could not be killed otherwise. “ Honest (?)” Andy Armstrong made a very remarkable speech. He was for the Crawford County System and against it; fur the proposed amendments and against them. His remarks were so perfectly non cotmnital and so incoherent that he was several times called to order. Jacob E. Cassel, of Mt. Joy, favored the proposed amendments ; and offered an additional one requiring ull candidates io swear that they would not attempt to bribe the election officers to cheat for them. This was not seconded. George \V. Compton, ot Carnarvon, said thut, as a candidate of twelve years stand ing, he was in favor of any thing which would prevent cheating. C. Reed, Esq., assailed the Crawford Cottnty System, bittorly denouncing it as a fruitful source of corruption,and demanding a return to what he styled ‘’the glorious old delegate system.” He moved the indefinite postponement of the amendments. A viva voce vote showed an evident and strong prepondeiauce of ayes ; but on the call of the yeas and nays many weak kneed mem bers were afraid to stand up to their work. George Brubaker, E-q , wbeu his name was called proceeded to say that ho was op posed to the Crawford County System and opposed to the proposed amendment, but that he intended to do as he was in the habit of doing, “go with tho biggest crowd,” and be voted against the indefinite postpone ment. Mart. Fry, the Chairman of the Com mittee, said he was not opposed to any safe guards against cheating; but he regarded tne proposed amendments as a sharp trick desigued to keep voters away from the polls. He did not believe the Republicans of Lancaster county would consent to have the tickets read as they were handed in.— He voted to lay the amendments on the table. The vote showed 19 in fuvor of postpone ment and of* against, so Mr. Reeu’s motion was lost. A motion that the Return Judges be also sv.orn was referred to the next meeting. “ Honest iVj ” Andy Armstrong, desiring to bolster up his chances of being nomi nated lur Senator, offered a series of reso lutions, requesting the candidates for Slate Semite aud Assembly to answer in writing whether they would vote against pub lishing the Legislative Bccord and oilier documents, the substauce of which the peo ple receive through the public press; whether they would oppose the increase of the pay of members, or of officers, and any increase in the number of the latter ; and whether they would oppose the appropria tion of money for new objects. A. J. Kuuffman, Esq., inquired whether that was meant to apply to pasters and folders, and whether it included such cases as that of Illyus. (Great laughter.) A motion that Saturday, tho 21st of .Au gust, be fixed as the day for holding toe primary elections led to considerable de bate. Some one moved to amend by sub stituting 14th for 21st. “Honest” Andy Armstrong was opposed to that date. He did not believe the enthu siasm could be kept up so long. He was in favor of a “quick and devilish cam paign.” Geo. Brubaker, Esq., the distinguished District Attorney, reminded the committee that the 21st would bring the election in the week of August Quarter Sessions, when he and others could not attend to it. A. J. Kauffman, Esq., suggested that however much candidates might desire to spend that week consulting with criminals and their witnesses, it would probably be conducive to honesty in the elections to have'the District Attorney kept busy at that time with his onerous duties in Court. (Much laughter.) Finally the 28th was fixed upon as the day for holding the primary elections. A motion was adopted, ordering the pro posed amendments to be printed, and the Committee adjourned to meet next Mon day, with closed doors. Beaten to Death.— The Harrisburg Telegraph states that, on the 14th inst., a man named Una Berger, a resident of Ma rietta, and a river pilot, while under the influence of liquor visited tho White House, a tavern on the river, about seven miles below Harrisburg, and insulted the women employed there. They reported the fact to Samuel Niebling, the proprietor of the es tablishment, who immediately commenced to chastise Berger. Berger then ran out of the house, and was pursued by Niebling on to the grounds of a Mr. Bomberger, ad joining. Our informant states that there Niebling beat and kicked Berger, breaking several of his ribs, and inflicting other in juries from which the latter died on Satur day. Niebling Has disappeared from the neighborhood, and no clue has as yet been found to .his whereabouts. New Locomotive.— The Lancaster Lo comotive works are now.in successful op eration, under the present proprietorship. A fine freight engine was turned out to-day for the Eastern Diyision of the Penn’a Rail road. It is numbered 477, is a ten wheeler engine, having six 41 feet driving wheels. The cylinder is 18 by 22 inches, and the boiler is constructed of steel. It is a plain built engine and will equal in point of workmanship anything now in use on the road.. The firm are building six other new locomotives for the Pennsylvania Cen tral Road, and have the boilers under way for nine others for the Chicago and Rock Islaud Road. Correction.— We Inadvertently stated a few days since that the Commencement of Lafayette College had already taken place This was a mistake, the College Commence ment takes place ou the 27th inst. James P. Boyd, formerly of this city, now of the editorial staff of the Philadelphia Press, has accepted the invitation tendered him by the Alumni Association to read a poem at the Commencement. Hon, Wm. A. Porter, of Philadelphia, has been asked to address the Alumni on the same occasion. Died from his Injuries.— The Harris burg Telegraph states that the numerous friends of Mr. Levi Ellmaker, who was so severely injured by falling from the Cin cinnati express train, on the Pennsylvania Raiiroad, near Marysville, will regret to learn that he expired at the Brady House, in that city, on Saturday morning at four o’clock. The High s eliool •- The seventeenth annual commencement of the Boya'and Girls High School, of this city, was held,-on Friday morning, at Ful ton Hall,•where a large, intelligent and fashionable audience assembled to witness the proceedings. The lady portion of tbe audience was provided with choice and exquisitely smelling bouquets, which were thrown daring the exercises in showers at their favorite graduates as each ,concluded her essay or his address. The stage was handsomely decorated with ev ergreen, while at tbe Tight and left of the stage as well as at tbe entrance of the hall, was arranged in an attractive and tasteful manner, a large number of fine drawings and paintings which were the results of the artistic labors of the pupils of tbe school.— These drawing attracted much attention and were very creditable productions con- J sidering tbe youthfulness of those who ex- j eented them; we heard several of them very highly spoken of by persons in the [ audience whose opinions in such matters are deserving of great consideration. According to tbe programme previously agreed upon the members of the graduating class, the pupils of the High Schools and tbetransler classes ofthe secondary schools, with the teachers of these schools; and a number of tbe Directors of the schools, met at the High School building at 8 o’clock, from which place, preceded by tbe City Comet Band, they [marched in procession ! to Fulton Hall. The centre seats at the • hall were reserved for the scholars, who ou ; qheir arrival filed right and left and filled | them ; the graduating class, teachers of the i High Schools, Directors, and other distin guished friends of education occupying seats on the platform. The graduating . class of ’69 numbers nineteen members, thirteen girls aud six boys; their names are as follows: G t yfo.__Nettie F. Trissier, Sue!'. Fischer, Amanda Hibsbmau, Clara A.

George Robinson. All the essays ami orations on the pro* gramme were creditable efforts and bore marks of much thought and careful prepa ration, while as a general thing they were well read and delivered. It would be in vidious to particularize any of the produc tions, we can only Say that the graduates acquitted themselves in a manner quiio complimentary to themselves and to the teachers who had charge of their education. One of the most interesting features of the exercises was the vocal music. Tha chanting of the “Lord’s Prayer," ‘The Hill Side” and “The Merry Chimes” sung by tbe whole graduating class were all well executed. “ Driven from Home,” a solo, sung by Miss Bella Guthrie, with a chorus in which Miss Sue Rup ley sang *alto, Mr. D. Rupley tenor, and Mr. S. Heinitsh bass, was loudly ap plauded. “ Now I lay mo down to Sleep,” a solo, with an echo chorus, was sung very sweetly by Miss Nellie Jobnstou ; while the duett “ Fair as the Morning,” in which Miss Guthrie led to Miss Rupley’s alto, showed that Prof. Hall’s instructions had been carefully studied by hisyoung pupils. We cannot refrain from staling that the essays and orutions—excellent «s they were—were not entirely appreciated by the audience on account of numbers of persons in the hall indulging in talking and laugh ing, during tho progress of the exercises, as > if they were enjoying an interlude at some ; theatre; this certainly indicated agreat and j manifest want of good breeding on tho part j of those who so aunoyed others and inter-j rupted the exorcises. In closing our report of £the Commence ment Exercises of tbe class of ’6l) we would suggest that its members revive the Alumni Association of the High School; this asso ciation was organized by the class of 1807 and held its meetings for a time—but for tho past year or more there has beeu n© ; meeting. Tho board of Directors have here tofore willingly granted the Alumni the ! use of the High School building for the' purpose of meeting. There are many mem- j hers of preceding classes, who would wil- ‘ lingly aid the graduates of the present i class of’69 in reorganizing the Alumui so ! that it could be made a society well worthy j tho attention of our citizens and ono q;, : which tbe Board of Directors ought to feel : proud. Members in after years would look , back to these meetings as among the hap- j piest eyents ol their lives, and at them ' would revive many pleasaut associations ! of school days. Wo wait to see which class j will have the honor of reorganizing the High I School Alumni. ADDRESS TO GRADUATES, The address of Win. P. Brintoo, Esq., President of the Board of Directors, on presenting to the Graduates their Diplomas was as follows: Young Ladies and Gentleman of the graduat ing Classes of the High School of the Ciiy of Lancaster: I shall detain you but a few miuutes of this very warm day. I do not intend to protract the exercises of this occasion by delivering a lengthy uud formal address. — I congratulate you upon haying passed the ordeal of a thorough aud satisfactory ex amination in all the branches of our curri* culura ; and be assured that no official act of mine can afford me greater gratification than that of presenting to you your merited diplomas. Your friends and relations have met you on this joyous occasion with fond hopes, happy hearts and glad gratulations. But now, my young friends, you terminate your schooldays, that happy period of your existence, to commence the real, moment ous buttle ofiiie. The Board of Directors and your faithful teachers have endeavored to prepure and discipline you for the ap proaching contest; so that by trusting in God and making a proper use ofyourprac tical acquirements, you might make a good and vigorous fight, and reasonably hope to win a signal victory.

And in conclusion, permit me to invoke lor you the choicest blessings of our Heavenly Father. And now. young ladies and gentlemen of the graduating class, iu the name aud by the authority of tho Board of Directors of Common Schools of the city of Lancaster, I present to you this diploma, in token of your good conduct and character as pupils, and of your proficiency in ‘the various branches of learning prescribed for your in struction. At the conclusion of the address William R. Wilson, Esq., read a lengthy report. New Patents.— John A. Eberly and Henry Wechter, of Reamstown Station, havejust received letters patentdated July 13, 1869, for an Horse -Hay Hook and Manure Drag combined. This’hook is especially adapted to lodge the hay on the sides of the mow by means of an extra pul ley arrangement, so that the empty hook can be raised, brought forward, and lower ed by the person on the wagon without assistance on the hay loft. By a simple change this efficient hay-hook is trans formed into a manure drag, and is therefore calculated to supply two useful articles on a farm and such that will render satisfac tion. Obtained through the agency of J. Stauffer of this city. John L. Kreider, near Chestnut Level, this county, has just received Letters Patent dated July 13, 1869, for Improvement in Automatic Check Row Corn-Planter. This Machine is driven across the furrow, and is self adjusting, so that the corn is dropped equi distant apart, and truly checker fash ion. The mode of working a pumkin seed valve so as to drop only to every Bixth hill of corn, and In every other row, and drop ping the phosphate with the corn, and mode of guiding the Machine are truly novel, and embraced in five distinct olaimß. Mr. Kreider has planted a field of corn with this machine,and it is truly worthy a visit to see the mathematical accuracy in the plant ing, no description can give an adequate idea of this simple and efficient machine, it must be seen in actual operation. Obtained through the Agency of J. Stauf fer of this city. Serious Accident.— Mr. Christian Mil ler met with a serious accident by being thrown from a wagon, while driving to his home in East Lampeter township on Wed nesday. He received a concnssion of the brain, and is lying in a critical condition. He is about 60 years of age, and is being attended by Dr. M. L. Herr. A Dastardly Act.— On Thursday night some scoundrel entered a stable in Middle street in which Daniel Clark keeps his horse, and iDjared him by driving nails in his feet, and cutting him in the shoulder. We hope the villain may be found out and pnnished. Income Returns.— The list of income returns for 1868, in this county, are now be ing published. The returns for last year show an aggregate 0f559,069.65 ; the amonnt for 1867 was s63,47B.B4—showing a decrease of $4,409.19. IteDlCATloit OF MASONIC Hall.— The dedication of the. new Masonic Hall at DramoreCentre, Dramore township, this county, took place on Saturday last. A very large number of the members of the MasonJcFraternity, in this city, were pres-' ent and participated In the imposing cere monies. Those officers of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania,'who were.present to offi ciate on the occasion, ere conveyed from this city to Dramore Centre in omnlbassesj A very pleasant time was bad on tbe way from Lancaster to Dramore Centre; the party left this city, at an early hour, and beiDg amply supplied with provisions they made a rural breakfast ou tbe romantic banks of a picturesque stream, when about half way to tbe place of their destination. The party safely arrived at the village in tbe forenoon, and precisely at high 12 (noon) tbe ball was formerly dedicated in accord-, ance with tbe ritual prescribed by the Or der; tbe following persons officiating: Ricbord;Vaux, R. W. G. M., ol Philadel pbia ; C. M. Howell, D. G. M., of this city; Robt. H. Thomas, D. G. M., of Mechanics burg, acted as G. S. W.; Robt. Clark, of Philadelphia, asG. J. W.; Wm. A. Morton, of this cily, acted as G. T.; J. M. Westhaef fer. of this city, as G. S.; Joseph Smedley, of Fulton twp., asS. G. D.; R. C. Edwards and J. Clarksoa Jefferis, of Drumore twp., as Grand Stewards; J. H. Boswell, of Phil adelphia, as Grand Marshall; Jacob Ben nett, of Philadelphia, as G. S. B.; Charles Kingston, of Philadelphia, as G. P.; and Rev. Geo. W. McLaughlin, of Philadelphia, as G. C. , The new Hall is a two story brick edifice and reflects great credit upon tbe energy and enterprise of Washington Lodge, No. 156, its owners. The lodge .room is hand somely furnished and is large and commo dious ; it is very finely’land appropriately painted—the motto "Si si Dominus Frus tret” “ Without tbe Lord all is in vain” being inscribed above tbe chair of tbe W. M. After the hall was formerly dedicated, dinner wan announced which was served up in the substantial and abundant manner characteristic of a first class country hotel. Dinner, being disposed of, u meeting was held in tho spacious and beautiful grove adjoining tbe village and addresses were delivered. The audjence was a very large One; a great number of ladies being pres ent, who unable to be all seated on the large number of benches provided, were accom modated with seats in carriages drawn up back of the benches in the form of a semi circle; tho whole scone presenting a beau ful, varied aud animated appearance. After music by the Fulton Cornet Band, tho exercises of the afternoon were opened wiih prayer by tho Rev. George W. Mc- Laughlin. Hun. Richard Vaux, R. W, G. M., then delivered an eloquent address upon.Masou ry, which was listened to with great atten tion by all present, and was frequently ap plauded. Kl-v. Mr. Cohick, cf York, also delivered an interesting address. At tho conclusion of this last speaker’s remarks a splendid Bible magnificently bound was presented by the ladies of Drumoro township, to Washington Lodge No. 156, The Bible was received on tho part of the Lodge by Rev. Geo. W. McLaughlin in a few eloquent sentences; the large audietico was then dismissed with the benediction. Another Horse and Wagon Stolen.— Mr. Isaac Weaver, who resides on tiie Strasburg pike, near the borough of Stras burg, came to this city on last Wednesday with a horse and wagon, and left the horse and wagon in the yard of Jonathan Sprech or’s hotel, in East King street Tbe yard being very much crowded the hostler took the team aud hitched it to a post in Duke street. Mr. Weaver arrived, shortly after ihe horse was hitched in the street, aud upon looking for tbe team found that it was gone. Fortunately, this forenoon, Mr Peter Diffenbach met the horse and wagon in the possession of three boys near Wit mer’s bridge about a mile and a quarter east of this city. Mr. Diffenbach had been informed of the larceny cf Mr. Weaver’s property and on seeing the horse at ouce recognized it as the oue which was stolen, and proceeded to immediately arrest the voutus who had it in charge. One of them named William Hinder, aged eighteeu years, succeeded in eluding capture—the other two, Charles H. Steacy, aged about nineteen years, and MichaelSmitb,aged ten vears, were caught by Mr. D. and by biin brought to this city. Tbe youthful culprits were taken before Alderman Wiley und were by him committed to prison for a further hearing. Stency admitted to Officer Baker, after his arrest, that he and Hinder had taken Mr. Emanuel Leibley’s horse and wagon on Saturday morning last. A bag or sack marked with tho initials W. S., and containing about one bushel of pota toes, was found in the wagon, which pota toes the boys allege they procured at Millersville on Thursday, as it seems they visited that village before starting eastward towards Philadelphia on tbe turnpike leading to that city. On their.re turn from Millersville they must bav<?, by some circuitous route, avoided passing through Lancaster, as they probably would have been noticed had they driven a'ong our streets. The team belonging to Emanuel Loibley, of Rohrerstown, which was takeu from the place where it was hitched last Saturday morning was recovered by Mr. Leibley on the evening of that day when it was found in possessiou of two boys, who said they they had taken it to have a ride. It is time that such bold and annoying larcenies be stopped aud tho youth of ibe offenders should notlprevent their receiving the full penalty which the law directs to be inflicted iu such cases. We are informed that three horses and. wagons have beeu -stolen in this manner duriug the past eighteen mouths, and that they were never subsequently heard of by their owners.— The properly of those who attefid our mar kets should be protected, aud iu tho mean time our country irieuds should be careful not to leave their property in places where it can eusily be stolen without tho thief in curring immediate suspicion. A Daring Robbery. —Wo learn from the Columbia Spy that as Dauiel Root, u plough itfaker, or Mt. Joy borough, was ou his way to Marietta on Saturday evening last, the 10th inst., and when just beyond the summit of Chicques hill, a robber emer ged from the woods, stopped his horse and demanded ot Mr. Root his money or his life ; at the same time presenting a pistol at his head. What ! says the astonished Mr. Root thinking the man was in fan. The robber replied “deliver up your money and be quick about it too.” Fortunately Mr. Root had but §125 about his person, which was handed over and was allowed to go on his way. .The roboer is a middle aged man, medium size, long black whiskers, rather thin. Tt is not the tirst lime that persons have been attacked in this locality. Travelers should keep a look out tor robbers and be prepared at all times to de fend themselves. Setious Accidf.nt. —A boy eleven years of age, a son of Mr. Jacob Baumgardner, residing in Middle street, Third Ward, this city, met with a serious accident on Satur day evening last. The boy was engaged in putting a young bird into its nest on a wil low tree, the limbs bf which were not strong as the tree was trimmed last Spring. Step diDg upon one of these young limbs it gave away and precipitated the lad to the grouud. The force of the fall fractured the boy’s skull from the effects of which he lies in a critical condition, but is somewhat im proved to-day and will recover if inflamma tion can be avoided. Horses Stolen.— The Oxford Press states that three horses were stolen from the farm of J. A. &V. K. Alexander, in Little Britain township, Lancaster county, early on Wednesday morning last. One of the horses belonged to the Messrs. Alexan der and two of them to Cbristain Peter- I sheim, who farms part of the place. They i were taken from a pasture field. Search was immediately made, and on Friday | morniog they w®*e found at Mt. Eden | Furnace, near the Gap, where a farmer had | taken them up as estrays. It is supposed the horses were stolen and ridden ofl', but being partly unshod and unable to travel far, the thieves turned them loose. There are various other circumstances to leid to the conclusion that they were stolen. The Little Britain Company promptly turned out, and a reward of §375 was offered for the recovery of the horses and conviction of the thieves. Railroad to Ephrata. —lt is stated that a new railroad is about to be built to Ephrata, this county. It will consist of an extension to Ephrata of the East Brandy wine Railroad, running at present from Downinglown to Waynesburg, Chester county. The construction of such a road would undoubtedlyopen up one of the most fertile sections of this county to railroad facilities. It is also urged in favor of the road that it would cause Ephrata Springs to become an important Summer resort by bringing them in direct communication with the great cities of Now York and Philadelphia. It is asserted that the con tractor has received orders to begin imme mediately on the grading of the road. The Weather. —The weather for the past few days has been very pleasant, as lar as The temperature of the atmospbire Is concerned. The air, although damp, is cool and bracing and the nights are well calculated to enable every odo to sleep soundly. To those, who are compelled to live and move among the bricks and mor tar, over the hot pavements and beside the hot walls, of a city, the present weather is very enjoyable; for when the hot sun throws its pitiless rays upon the city there is no refuge from the beat—tne whole at mosphere is like an oyen, in the shade or out of it. The rain will doubtless interfere to sotne extent with the harvesting of tbe wheat crop, but will not we opine result in any serious injury to the same. Farmers gen erally, on the appearance of wet weather, so shock their wheat that little or no injury is done it by any ordinary rain, and it may remain in the field forseveralaayswithout material injury whilst unfavorable weath er is prevailing. Choice Music.—Mr. Robert M. De Witt of 13 Frankfort street, New York, as tne music-loving people now pretty well know, is regularly issuing a Six Penny Series of the finest Songs and Ballads, arranged for tbe voice and piano by a paoat eminent and just y popular composer and able musician. We have just received the following pieces. All of them are super-excellent in their different styles: “Thy Voice is Near “ Blue-Eyed Violets“ Up in a Balloon “ The Maiden and her Linnet.” Tall Oats. —Mr. Isaac B. Myers, who resides near Qaarryville, Eden twp., ibis county, has sent to this office an oat stalk measuring six feet 72 inches In height. This is hard to beat' Local Miscellany. —The Williamsport Standard states that the West Branch oi the Sosquebana at that place, has been very much swollen of late, by the heavy rains. Occasionally a raft passes down. The Philadelphia Sunday Mercury Bays that the Vigilant Fire Company, of Colum bia,. have their new carriage in tbe painter’s hands. A committee visited Philadelphia recently, to see how things were progres sing. They are to have a grand plo-nio on the 14th of August, at Heise’s woods, near Columbia. The gathering of black berries, the pres ent season, should Dot be neglected by onr country friends. There Is money in the business, as when dried they command an excellent prloe. In their wild state they can be had for the gathering. Some of onr farmers are pretty well over with their wheat harvest; others are not, JduC a lew days of favorable weather will see them throngh with it. The crop is said to be a good one—the oats, corn, and potato crop also look well, and from present in dications there will be a bountiful supply. The second annual Camp Meeting of the East Pennsylvania Conference, United- Brethren Churcbfwe learn will this year be held near Hnmmelstown, on the Lebanon Valley Railroad, from tbe 10th to tne 20th of AogusL Excursion rates have been se cured over the different railroads. It ia ex peeled that 200 tents will be occupied. Tbe Columbia Spy says that a “ piece of mechanism for transferring railroad cars from ono track to another, without necessi tating the running of the car several hun dred feet backward or forward as tbe case may be, and without tbe use of the switches, has been patented within the past few days. The practical advantages of it are the sav ing of depot room and time, and railroad men say it possesses some intrinsic merit. The Spy says game of base ball is announced by the sporting fraternity for this week, between the Fairplay of Colum bia and a Middletown club. A young man by tbe uame of Samuel Shrjte baa bis leg broken by a kick from a horse, on Wednesday of last week, at John Hill's factory in East Donegal township. The Spy says the river has “ riz ” and at this time is runniug bank full, aod raftiug has commenced again. A number of flue timber and board rafts have arrived ; many o! which have passed dowu to Ibe markets towards tidewater. Fiout at the Railroad— A Man Seri ously Injured.-On the arrival of the six o’clock train from the West, Thursday eve ning, two of # the passengers, both residents of this city, engaged in a fight which result ed iu tbe serious injury of one of them, James Gillen, who resides in the Second Ward. The other party, Jacob Kiebl, it appears struck Gillen with his fist knocking him down, and it is alleged that ICiehl, after Gillen had fallen, kicked him ou the face and throat. Gillen was intoxicated and is alleged by Klehl to have first made ihe attack upon him. We learn that Gillen lies in a critical condition from the effectsofhis injuries; but is expected to recover. A warrant was issued for the arrest of Kiebl, who resides in the Third Ward, and on beinr brought before the Mayor he was held iu the sum of §lOOO bail to appear at a hearing of the case in ihe afternoon, when all the facts concerning the affair will be thoroughly investigated. Atthesubsequent hearing Kiebl was bound over in the sum $5OO to answer at the Quarter Sessions Court. Burglary. —The house of Mrs. Sarah Stambaugb, in Manheim twp., this county, was burglariously entered on Tuesday night last, and robbed of money and jewelry. Oa Mrs. Stauibaugb’s retiring at her usual hour (10 o’clock) she found to her surprise her chamber door locked from the inside. This at once created suspicion, and she gave the alarm. Her brother, who bad been tarrying with her at tho time, in order to examine the room, procured a ladder and entered from ihe ouiside window, which was partially open. He found, after ingress, hersecretary openod and herpapers and other articles scattered promiscuously around, but the “bird hud flown.” On fur ther search it was discovered that the fol lowing amount of money, wltn other valu able urticles were abstracted : two §lO notes, $5 notes, and balance in fractional currency to the auiouut of over SGO. The most valu able and endearing article purloined was her gold finger ring seven dia monds, valued at §2OO. Her full name is engraved thereon. A ham Lome reward is offered, Storms Predicted,— A correspondent of «ho Philadelphia Evening Star writes to that paper, as follows : “We have now entered a season which there is reason to believe will be marked by extraordinary storms of rain, wind and electrical phenomena, the most certain pe riods being about tho second*Sunday in September and October next. There will be intermediate storms of less severity about the time of or just after full moon in euch of those months. The conditions pre vailing at the time specified are not unusual or extraorcNnnry in tbolr character, but are periodical and unfailing. The storms anti cipated are such as usually prove very de structive to canals and railroads, and sweep away bridges, etc. If we can pre-calculate such events, some of the perils of such storms may bo averted by careful prepara tions to meet thorn. A few weeks wilt suf fice to test the truth of these predictions. The storms hoie reterred to are not local, but general ones prevailing over a large spaco of territory at or nearly the same lime. On the 17th of August next there will be a total eclipse of the sun, aud, according loan English ustronomer, a comet is now visible. What effect these circumstances will have upou the weather, I am pre pared to say, but have reason to believe the tendency will be to increase the severity of the weather.” I tems —The following items of local in terest we clip from the Oxford Press : B. S. Patterson, of Little Britain town ship, lost a valuubleyounghorse a few days since from lock jaw, caused by treudingon a nail. George Conner, a lad of about 8 years, residing at Klnseyville, Little Britain twp., Laucaster county, fell from a cherry tree about two weeks since and had hisjaw bone fractured. William KiDg, of Little Britain township, near Kirk’s Mills, sends us two stalks of Prince Edward’s Island Oats, which meas ure five feet five inches high, and one head measuring twenty inches in length. This is good oats. A friend informs us that the bridge over the race near Kirk’s bridge has at last been repaired. Several oftheplanks were broken, and bad remain ed so for a long time—awaiting a solution of tbe question whether the bridge belonged to the county (being within the wing fulls of the county bridge) or to West Notting ham townsuip—at the imminent risk of horses’ legs. The county coimfiissioner, at last, however, acknowledged ownership by repairing tbe same, for which the traveling community in that vicinity are becomingly grateful. • A Handsome Present.— V/e noticed on Monday, in the show-window of the Picture Frame and Looking-glass store of Messrs. Berner Jc McGinnis, jr., in North Queen at,, this city, a very handsome affair ; it consists of the photographs of a number of the mem bers of Red Jacket Tribe, No. of Red Men of this city, handsomely arrunged aud enclosed in a magnificent gilt frame splendidly ornamented. An inscription in German, writteu in the artistic and beauti ful chirography of Alderman Charles R, Frailey, states that The whole affair is a present from the above Tribe to their breth ren of Pocahontas Tribe, No. 5 m Philadel phia. It is truly a splendid gift, and re flects great credit upon the donors ; hnd it will no doubt be highly appreciated by tbe Philadelphian recipients. Scoundrely Act.— We learn from the Reading Times that " the express train, No due at that city at 2:10 P. M., containing the Packer Association of Philadelphia when between Palmyra and Annville Thursday afternoon, ran into a sill that had been fastened to the track by somt scoundrels. Fortunately the engineer saw the obstruction in time to bring tbe train to a stand still by the time it reached the obstruction.” No punishment would be too severe for the villain capablo of an act like the above. The Harrisburg Telegraph says • “ Rev. E. H. Thomas, editor of the Church Advocate, announces that his health has become so seriously impaired that he does not expect to remain on earth more tuan a few mouths. He contracted a cold a num ber of months ago, which resulted in con sumption. Rev. Thomas isone ofthe most prominent men in the " Church of God,” and bis loss to that body would be irrepara ble. His numerous friends earnestly hope thut he may yet bo spared to continue in charge of the Advocate, even if he does not sufficiently recover to resume his plaoe in the pulpit.

Barn Burred.—lh© barn of Mr. Isaac Stauffer, who resides near the Gap, this county, was entirely destroyed by fire Saturday night last. The fire broke out about eleven o’clock, and all efforts to ex* tluguish it were unavailing. All the crops la the barn were burned, also a valuable lnrsfl.
