Franklin and Marshall CoUefif* BT TUB ppRESIDENT OF THE INSTITUTION. t • ARTICLE IX. , „ , ' H&ving got thus far in defining the Col lege and Its work, I come now to notice more directly than has yet been done * few objections thiat may hold against It in the minds of some. And here I have in view, not so much objections openly expressed, as what may be'consideredjquletjprejudices rather, such as are to be met with at times, especially among plain country people. I. Colleges In general are regarded by some as aristocratic. Partly, because they, are devoted to “higher education,” which itself Implies something above the common level; and partly because they are neces sarily limited to the use of a few In dis tinction from tho many. All cannot have the benefitf of such education. Multitudes have neither the time nor the money; while others have neither the disposition nor the brains. But this seems to conflict with the pppuiar notion of equal rights.— All really necessary education, it is said, should belike that of our common schools, open and free alike to all. What la above this as higher education must be regarded as something exclusive, pretentious, and undemocratinal, the privilege of the rich over against the poor. Alas, alas, for such a mistake as this. It has never been to the rich as a class, that the true advantages of higher education have stood specially open in fact. They have bad the outward means, indeed, for obtaining it; but only to small extent the proper mind and heart. Emphatically It may be said, the gospel of learning, like that of religion, has been preached to the poor. They who first flocked by thousands to the universities of Europe, with the re vival of letters, were known for the most purt only as “poor scholars” and “poor clerks.” They had to serve and beg for their living—eyen those who, like Luther, afterwards shook the world with their learning. Times have changed since ; but not so as materially to affect here the old law of election and birthright. The sons ot tho wealthy seldom carry away with them thc/Veal prizes of our higher education. Well, if they so much as reach after it only in form and name. The chances of such distinction are altogether in favor of those who are forced to struggle toward it through humble circumstances aud narrow means. Because it is not money, but mind, that has to do mainly always with the successful pursuit of a liberal education. Our colleges generally in this view are not aristocratic. On the contrary they are eminently democratic. No institutions are more open, or more easily accessible for all who honestly and truly desire a liberal ed ucation on its own terms. There is a cost, of course, to be counted in the cose; but this is in tho time and labor required for it, far more than in any other kind of experi ence. As compared with the quality and quantity of their service, wo have no edu cational inslltutlonsso cheapas our colleges. They are cheaper than our Normal Schools and Academies ; fur cheaper than our Pol ytechnic institutes of any kind. Even our common schools cost us a great deal more in public taxes. Then us regards their •comparison with other departments of our social and buslnoas.lti’o, what shall I say? What rolling mill, or cotton mill, or bank, or large mercantile house is found offering its commodities and goods at anything like half Lhe same rate of cheapness to the peo ple? Let their heavy percentages of yearly profit furnish the answer. No ; tho spirit ual wares which our colleges offer to the people—uot to the rich only but to the poor also, as tar us their heart’s desire lies in that wuy—aro the least expensive for their cost (to say nothing now of their Intrinsic, worth) of all wares which we are called to buy at this time iu the world’s market.— Any young man, in any part of the country, whose heart is bent upon it, and who bus tho proper powers of mind for it, can make liis way into college, and through college, if he pleases, whether ho bo poor or rich. Tuko our own collego iu particular. But fowof its students belong to rich families. Munyofthem are actually poor; and tbeir education is, iudeod, a pursuit of knowledge under difficulties. The idea of its privileges being only for a favored few of any class is simply ridiculous. They are open to overy young man, of determined will, in the country ; tho only cause for regret, indeed, being that so few of our young men consid er them worth Reeking. Still tho other side of this objection ro* niuius ; “higher education” carries in it a reference to lower education, and this itself seems to carry with it a somewhat aristo cratic Houtnl. There is taken to be in it an affectation of suporior culture, a sort of literary phurisaiem which auys to others: Stand off, for we aro better than you! Something of course, then for dem agoglo vulgarity to roll at, or sneer at, as uu offence against tho “rights of the peo ple.” It might uh well, however, rail at any other distinction in human society, as being particular und exclusive; and indeed much better. For of all social superiorities (whethor iu personal form or in iatnily de scent, or in business talent and tact, or in wealth, or oven in ordinary civil office and powor) there is none so little of mere pri vate account, aud so much of broad popu- Tnr aud public account, as just this superi ority of what is known us higher education In any rightly conditioned hutnau society. Without it, ull lower education, and tho wholo social machinery besides, must bo of very little worth. 11. The objection here has, however, widened itself into a new form. It sets col lege education over against common school education and ordinary business education; us though the first were a sort of monopoly and private interest only belonging to a few, and not like these last, of general popuiur bonollt and übc. But now no imagination can bo more falMO than Ibis. In the nature of tho case, if there Is to be a lowor education there must be also a higher education iu somo form. All cannot be educated in all respects alike; Just ns there can be no absojuto dumeness of stato and condition for society In any other view. But this does not imply necessarily any separation or opposition of interests. .Society properly, or the state, is not a mass made up of separate interests outwardly joined together. It is a living organism, where tho difference or the parts is'always for tho unity aud completeness of the whole. And nowhere is this more tho cuso than in the sphere of knowledge and education. This is emphatically a common existence fora people throughout; an ex istence in which higher and lower forms of culturo (making together a true university) work alike lot* one another, and for tue community at largo. So it is with all com mon education ; the proper end of it is the well-being of society, quite as much as the woll-being of tho individual. But most of nil is this tho case, also, with what is called higher education ; for the higher it goes the more general and comprehensive it becomes by its very conception, breakipg away from merely selfish regards and ends, and look ing only to what is universal. Hence, its title liberal or free (not bound to any out ward particularistic interest), us well ns its old designation of humane culture (disci pline iu the humanities), as having to do with the human at largo, tho proper whole ness of man's lire, rather than with any single portion of it only viewed in a sepa rate way. Altogether thus no education is more a public interest than that which colleges, in their true sense, are designed to secure. Confined nocessarily to a few (tho great mass of society having no call or mind to seek it) it is yet not lor the few, but for the many—no education being, iu truth, moro profoundly popular, more entirely for the wholo people, in its ultimate consequences and results. Our common school system can never be all it ought to be, without a proper provi sion for higher collegiate training at its head. No one is more fully aware of this than our presenttiuperintendentof Common Schools himself, who has generously set his heart on securing from our Legislature t He pas sage of u ‘‘College Bill,” designed to roll away the reproach that now lies upon us as u State, from tbe neglect of what is hero so manifestly a public political duty. “Should the educational policy of the State,” he asks, bo ODly to mako provision for primary education ? The provision our school law now makes for the es tablishment of graded schools, the State aid heretofore given for many years to colleges 1 and academies, and tho requirements of our Constitution that “ the arts and scien ces shall be promoted in ono or more semi naries of learning,” show conclusively thut a different educational policy was contem plated by the men who have been foremost in shaping our legislation. Besides, while, in tho language of Dr. McCosh, the newly olocted President of Princeton College, “ in the work of primary instruction America leads the world,” we are very far behind many of the countries of Europo in the at tention wo pay to higher education.- We are trying to educate all our people, but wo are educating them superficially. Intelli gent Europeans are continually reproach lug us, not without reason it is to be feared, with our want of generous culture und lib eral scholarship. Let Pennsylvania, then, return to her sormer policy, which, without injuring her common schools, grants substantial aid to her colleges. To thiß, let all good. Pennsylvanians say Amen; and let our people of German de scent especially think of Germany, their noble Fatherland, where the common school and the gymnasium are everywhere so linked with the idea of.the university, that tbo one without the other would bo considered a simple monstrosity, unworthy of a civilized people. Higher liberal education is, in truth, the only fountain from which all lowor educa tion can havo infased into it wboloeome life and power. Without colleges, common education itself must sooner or lator grow lean, and in the end be starved out of ex istence. On this I could say much ; but my limits forbid. Another quotation, however, Imusl bo indulged with from Dr. Taylor Lewis. “It is a favorite position- with some,’? he says, “that all educational! appropriations should be for the education of the ‘people,’ in their imaginary use of the term. They will talk of common schools as the people’s schools, and contend that to them alone the legislature should extend its aid. They alone urofor community ;ihe others for separate interests. Now we maintain that academies and colleges are for the people, as much as the common schools. They are for all in the highest sense, on the ground that their benefits do immediately and- ultimately reach all classes. In whatever free com munity tho colleges and academies are well sustained, and made what they ought to be, there the common schooliflourlshes of course. In whatever towns and counties of our state the influence of these higher in stitutions is most felt; or in other words, in whatever places there reside the great est number of men liberally educated, such as lawyers who have indeed made law a science, and learned clergymen, and scien entifio physicians, or unprofessional per sons of liberal culture— there will be a su- perior order of common schools. Where this is not th% case, money lavished upon them by the sUte Is abotis thrown away,” “ A portion educated for the. Bake of the many 1 All this, it may be said, is at war with the 4 genius of our institutions,’ to nse a favorite phrase* If this be so, then is It all the worse for tho * genius of oar insti tutions.’ We mast repeat it; there is need of sacb a class of well*cultivated minds, to prevent knowledge from becoming super* fldal la its tendency to popularization, and thus to make it actually more available to practical ends and the practical well-being of society, than could be done by any futile attempts to impart the same knowledge as a right to all. None have a deeper interest in the true view of this matter, than those whom the demagogue Is so fond of styling ‘ the peopleor, in other words, tbe great body of those whom the common and indis pensable vocations of life necessarily ex clude from the more difficult departments ot knowledge. Should tbe anti-college feel ing ever become predominant, none wonld eventually be greater sufferers by its van dalism, than those very classes whose jeal ousies it so studiously attempts to excite.” A Job (bat Is Not Credltafolo The Hon. Alexander Ramsey, of Min* nesota, Chairman of the Postal Committee in the United Senate, is now in Paris as a speclaPEnvoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from our PostmastertGeneral, to negotiate a new postal treaty with the French Government. His arrival there is announced almost in the same papers which inform ns of Mr. Waehburne’s absence from bis post, vary ing the monotony of official life by a turn amid tho gambling and the glitter of the German watering places. Now will Mr. Creswell be good enough to inform tbe people who pay tbe taxes what right he has to spend eight or ten thousand dollars of the public fund in order that an amiable old gentleman like Mr. Ramsey may trayel In Europe without cost to himself? We should address this in quiry to Gen. Grant also, but while tho war steamer Tallapoosa is lying off Long Branch as his pleasure yacht, we feel that any question to him about other illegiti mate and illegal uses of public cash would be superfluous. ' But what excuse has Mr. Creswell to offerfor thus squandering with out authority of law the money that is wrung from the stinted earnings of labor ing men and women ? Is this the strict hon esty and economy in the administration of the public which was promised us ?' Or is it simply a discreditable job, intended to pla cato the PostalCominitteeoftheSenate,&nd render it plastic next winter in the hauds of tho Postmaster-General? If there be any need for a new postal treaty with France, wetrustthatMr. Wash burne is competent to make it; or if he isn't, call him home and send somebody who is. If Mr. Secretary Fish has so little confi dence m his dhitinenlshed predecessors in the State Department os to think him unfit for so elementary a duty, he might perhaps be willing to go cut himself in his place. Nobody would object to that, certainly: but paying Mr. Washburne sixteen thousand dollars a yeur in gold to do nothing in Paris, and then paying Mr. Ramsey ten thousand dol lars more to negotiate a simple treaty there about postage, iscarrying tbe joke altogeth er too far, especially when dono by a Presi dent solemnly pledged to execute the laws to the letter, and enforce a rigorous econo my in the public expenditures. Cannot Mr. Creswell favor us with some explanation of this very unpleasaut-look iog business which will relieve at least to some extent its ominous features? We should be delighted to lay before thepublic any version of the facts tending to restore that confidence which the previous career of the Poptmnster-Gencrul has sowoll de served.— N. Y. Sun.

The day when the office eongbt the man has gone by in this country, and now there is always ;a big gang of greedy fellows after every position which has any fiay attached to it or aoy chance for plunder ait. There are about one hundred.Radl* cal candidates in this county, all eagerly seeking the nomination for some one of a dozen offices. There are ring candidates and anti-ring- candidates; fellows who bunt iu couples and fellows who go it on their own hook. They are all active, all full of energy, all glad to meet tbeir fellow-citizens on all occa: slons. They go to church on Sunday to make an Impression on thej religious portion of tbe community, and attend all sorts of social gatherings daring the week.

We do not know all who make up the list of oue huu dred candidates, and may have failed to notice some, but we saw there flirting with the g’hals, and drinking with tho b’hoys, no less than four candidates for State Sen ator, seven candidates for Assembly, four candidates for Sheriff, six candidates for Register, two candidates for Prothonotury, two candididates for Treasurer, four can didates for Clerk of Orphans' Court, three candidates for Commissioner, three candidates for Director of the Poor, two candidates for Prison Inspector, aud four candidates for Coroner. When the prom enade came off, positions of honor, on tbe arms of the most vigorous dancing girls were accorded to the more distinguished and imposing of tbe candidates. As the processiou murched around tho “ bfg tent,” under the glare of tbe gas lights, tbe poli ticians put on their brassiest smiles as they simpered and whispered agreeable words iu the ears of their blushing companions. The whole scene was intensely democratic. AU social distinctions for the time beiug were laid in tho dust and “ master and maid were mated.” We noticed in one set our distinguished Congressman, a promi nent Democratic lawyer and politician of this city vrho ran against Thad. Stevens for that position, the legal youth with the Web sterian brow,who hangs his bat on tbe back of the head, and a nimblo heeled attache of the Intelligencer. Who will dare to say that was not a distinguished party ? And how cordially even discordant political elements did mingle to lhe witching sounds of music. As we circulated through Lhe crowd, noting tho many little nothings and somethings which make up such festive occasions, we thought of tho sagacious remark of tbe sage of Ashland, “ politics makes straDge bed fellows.” We bear cheerful record to tbe gushing gallantry and.tbointeuselpoliteness of many ofthe candidates, as displayed in their in tercourse with the ladies. They honored their partners with tbe most courtly bows, threaded the mazes of Les Landers more successfully than Grant did at Long Branch, and footed it down to tbe tune of Lanigan’s Ball with genuine Irish vigor. But tbe dancing did not comprehend the whole cir cle of delights and duties. After tbe prome nade, the truth is that most of tbe candi dates soemod to pay little attention to the ladies. We attribute that to tbo fact that they do not vote at primary elections. Tbo b’hoys were the important element in tbe eyes ol the politicians, aud how they did go for them. Introductions were eagerly sought, and every introduction was at odcu followed by an iuvitation to “teke some thing.” Every caudidato had his pockets full of “tin tips,” each one good for “a beer.” How the shining little • circiota did circulate. They were fairly rained upon tbe counters, and tbe bar-tenders were kept busy sweeping them into tbe tills. Fortunately the glasses were “ small ponies,” and it took many of them to in toxicate. We were never more thoroughly impressed with tbe dlsagreetibleneßs, and tho costliness of office seeking', than ou this occasion. Just to see what effect it would produce, we announced, in ordinary con versational tone, that we were a candl date for Sheriff, "tho ring candidate,” The result exceeded our most sanguiuo anticipation. In lt»a* than a miouts wo were surrounded by a dense crowd of tbristy fellows. We asked them to drink. They dld’nt refuse, not one of them, though a number knew we were “ a copperhead.” One or two professed to doubt our state ment. We assured them we had turned, and that we were now Brubaker’s best bower. Somo refused to swallow that, but not ono of them refused to swallow his beer, and they all Bwore they would be de lighted to vote for us. Counting up the chango we got for a five dollar greenback, we found the number of votes thus enthu siastically pledged to us was thirty*soveu, just equal to the number of States that ought to be iu tbe Union. We wondered whether all the candidates found It as easy to extract promises, and whether they were as well sutisflod with those they got as we were. We expect to bo nominated. So we have no doubt does overy one of tbe candi dates who danced or drank at tho Washy Ball. What a crowd of lone, faces there will be among tho hundred candidates when tho result of the coming election un dor tbe Crawford County System is ascer tained. Nine out of ten must be beaten. It is a Bad reflection, and full thereof we bade adieu to the festive scene, leaving tho crowd of hungry office beggars to make tho jbest of it. A MvsTEniors affair.—Ou Saturday evening about nine o'clock, Mr. Earnest Weaver, a farmer aged about 50 years, left Solomon Sprecher’s hotel in East King street, with Ills horse and buggy, for tbe purpose of returning to his home at Mon terey, some four miles west of New Hol land. Early the next (Sunday) morning Mr. Weaver was found lying in street, east of Plum street, in an insensible condition. He was picked un and Dr. Compton was called in to attend to bis in juries. The Doctor discovered that Mr. Weaver bad received a severe Wound just behind tbe left ear, which from all appear ances was inflicted with a billy, as the Doc tor thinks the wound could not have beeu caused by an accidentalJall from the bug gy. Mr. Weaver was conveyed to bis home by Mr. Solomon Sprecber, Rnd when lett by Mr. S„ be had not recovered sufficiently to give any intelligible account in wbat manner ho had received his injuries. Up to teu o’clock this (Monday) morniDg, no trace of the horse and buggy had as yet been discovered. Upon au examination of the vicinity of the place where Mr. Weaver was lound, blood was discovered along the pavement from the corner of Lime street to where Mr. W. was lying. This indicates that fhe wound was inflicted at or near tbe corner of Lime and East Chestnut streets, and was very probably the work of some miscreant in search of money. Since the above was in type we learh that the horse and buggy were found, near Ranck’s Mill, east of this city, by Mr. Sam uel Ranck, and have been identified by a son of Mr. Weaver’s as the horse and vehi cle which was driven by his father. Stork Robbed.—The store of Michael K. Sbenk, situated near Turkey Hill, in Manor twp., this county, was broken in on yesterday (Sunaay'' morning—about half past one o’clock A. M.—and the following articles were stolen therefrom: One piece of delaine, one piece of calico, one piece of cassimere, one balmoral skirt, ati umbrella, box of cigars, lot of chewing tobacco, and some shoes. The thieves also obtained about $3O in National currency. The pocket book which contained tbe money was sub sequently found on Buckwalter’s Ore Banks a snort distance above tbe store and when found it contained nothing but some papers which were not of value to any one except the owner of the pocket-book ; two pairs of gaiters were also found at the same place. The person or persons who committed the robbery were tracked for about half a mile when all traces of them were lost. The thieves effected an entrance into the store by boring a hole into tbe wooden shutters aud thus having gained access to tbe bolt which secured them they easily pushed it back. The robber was seen with a light in tbe store by a passer by but was supposed to be some one connected with the establish ment, and was thus permitted to escape. On the same night of the above robbery of the store, a spring-house, not far distant, was broken Into and several articles taken from It. This last robbery was doubtless committed by the same parties who broke nto the store. Register’s Office.—Letters of Admin istration have been granted, since the 241 h ult., on tho following estates: Eliza Jane Amwake, deed., late of Lan caster City. Wm. F. H. Amwake, Admin istrator.

Injured bt Lightning,—The Wriglits ville Star states that, on the 22d Inst., as Mr, Israel Miller (formerly of Lancaster county) now residing in Peach Bottom township, York county, was working in one of his fieldß he was seriously injured by lightning. From the latest accounts re ceived by the Star —it appears that Mr, Miller had nearly recovered from the effect of the shock. Agricultural and Horticultural Society.— The Angait number of the Lan» easier Farmer states that the J uly meeting of this Society was small, but interesting. Henry M. Engle, presided; Alexander Harris; Esq., Secretary. A report ot 8. S Rathvon, chairman of the Committee In charge of the Fruit Exhibition, was read. It was shown in the report that the expen > aes inoldent!to the exhibition were defrayed and a balance of sL2fi left for the treasury. S. 8. Rathvon offered & resolution provid ing for the appointment of ten members as delegates from the Association to the meet ing of tbe “ American Pomologlcal Socie ty,” in Philadelphia, on September loth, 1860. The appointment of the above dele gates was deferred until tbo next meeting of the Society. , Jt Mr. Rathvon also offered a resolution that a committee of five bo appointed by the President of the Society to inquire re fsrding the expediencyof holding an ex ibition at the same time, and place, in connection with the Park Association, in October, and upon what eODditioDs suen a temporary union could be effected, said committee to report in writing at the next meeting of this Society. S. S. Rathvon, Dr. W. L. Dlffenderfer. Dr. Samuel Welchens, J. G. Kreider and A. Harris, were appointed as tho committee. To prevent ants from creeping up young fruit trees and infesting them with curled leaf, It was recommended that the leaves have applied to them tobacco juice. Interesting Essays were read by Dr. S. Welchens and Prof S. S. Rathvon. A ya -1 rlety of excellent fraits were exhibited, which our limited space will not permit us to enumerate. After testing the fraits and discussing their.respective merits, the So ciety, on motlonj adjourned. Singular Accident.—Last weok, as Mr. Demos Dibeler was gathering apples from his orchard, near Fulmouth, Couoy township, be hitched a mule in a small wagon for the purpose of carrying them home. In descending a steep hill tho har ness broke, causing the wagon to run against the immediately began to kick, finally lauding bis hind feet into the bed ofthe wagon from which he could not extricate them. He then ran to the bottom of the hill, on his two fore-feet, where he was stopped Two of Mr. Dibeler’s children wore in the wagon at the time, bnt neither children, mule, wagon, or apples sustained any injury. Educational. —-Prof. N. C. Schaeffer succeeds Prof. C. 8. Gerhart in the Prepa ratory Department of Franklin and Mar snail Collego. Prof. Schaeffer occupied tbo chair of Ancient Languages and History for several years in tbejlCeystono State Normal School. Prof. A. O. Newpher, of Columbia, a graduate of tbe MUlersville State Normal School, nt thereceut Commencement of La fayette Collego at Easton, had the hono rary degree of Master ol Arts conferred upon him by that Institution. This ia a deserved complimeuc paid to a thorough scholar and accomplished teacher. National Bank Securities.—Tho Sec relarv of the Treasury iu a letter to the Comptroller of the Currency, has decided to permit the substitution of 10-40 for 5-20 bonds, or the oxchangeof any gold bearing bonds now held as security for circulating notes, on tho basis hitherto adopted—the 10-40's to bo received at 85 per cent, of their par value, and all other gold-bearing bonds at 00 per cent. Tho 6 per cent, currency bonds issued by the United States to tho Pacific Railroad Will not b 9 received as security for tho circulation of National banks, and the exchange of gold-bearing bonds will be subject hereafter to revision, if it shall be found that such exchange is so frequent as to become onerous to the De partment. Valuable Watch Stolen.—Sunday evening, while attending the tire in the 9th Ward at Mr. Buckiuu’ stable, Mr. Joseph Welchans, tobacconist of Ibis city, had a valuable gold watch and Masonic mark taken from him. The mark was a heavy gold Maltese cross containing the All-See ing Eye on a tobacco leaf, with two pboto gruphs under cover, self aud wife, aud the number of thejwatch was . Mr. Welch ans did uot notice that his watch had been taken until he returned home: the loss is quite u heavy ono, the watch and mark being worth at least $230. The witch had no chain attached to it, but instoud a black silk ribbon. De Witt’s Sixpenny Series of Choice Music— For Voice and Piano.- —Mr. Robert M. DeWitt, of 13 Frankfort ;streot, New York, has already published several Songs and Ballads of tbe above series. Each of theso pieces is carefully arranged by a very talented and exceedingly popular com poser. Tho following four pieces have just reached us: “Captuiu Jinks,” by T. Ma clagan; “ Little Blue Butterfly," arranged from Hervo’s* Opera of “Cbilperio;” “IChampugrieCharlie,” by Alfred Lee, and “ Thiuhljr O'Flynti, ll by .1. 1.. Mhllov. House Broken Into.—The houso of Col. Wm. B. Fordney, which Is located about a mile and a half from this city, be tween tho New Holland and Litiz turn pike, Manbeim twp., was brokeu Into by some unknown persons last Friday night No one is at present residing in the house, and the persons who broke into it had therefore uodifflculty in forcing on entrance without exciting suspicion or belngindau ger of discovery. No articles of value wero carried away, some chairs were found in the lane leading to the house iu a broken condition; the furniture in tho houso was also considerably broken. Bold Attempt at Robbery.—About 4 o’clock on-Salurday afternoon some un known person entered the office of Zecber Bros,, on North Queen street, above the railroad, while the proprietors were tem porarily absent, und with a screw driver forced open tho money drawer of their office desk, which contained about $B5 in money and a gold watch and chain vulued at $l2O. The thief luckily was alarmed as soon as he had forced the lock, and before he had dis covered the valuables which were iu the back part of the drawer. Sad Accident.— I Tho Inquirer slates that Mr. Harlan Baldwin, of Penningtonville, Chester county, formerly of Salisbury township, this county, was run over by tbe Fast line going eastward, Friday morn ing at Penningtonville, and instantly kill- ed. It appears that Mr. Baldwin, was walk ing along tbe track, and crossed over trom tbe north to tbe south side, to nvoid some freight tiains going west, aud not noticing tbe train goiug east was struck by it. He was about 45 years of age and leayes a wife aud several children. The Camp Merino at Lebanon.—Tho Methodist cump meeting at Lebanon for this district, Iwbich commenced on Thursday, is said to bo a great success.— The location is about one milo from the town of Lebanon in a very splendid grove. It is one of the largest meetings of tbo kind ever held in the State. There were nearly ten thousand people present on Sunday. A large number of ministers are present from various sections, representing differ ent Christian denominations. Philadelphia is represented by a number of families from the Green Street M. E. Church.' Lancaster and Columbia aro well represented. A Liberal Offer.—A public-spirited citizen of Oxford offers to deed two acres of land in a very suitable and desirable loca tion on the railroad, in the Borough, to any party who will build a furnace and rolling mill thereon. We understand the Phila. A Baltimore Central R. R. Co., will furnish free transportation on the road for all ma terials used iu tiie construction of the same. We hope these liberal offers will bo accept ed by some company who will so to work and erectjiuch an establishment. Should it be a stock concern, we have every reason to believe that a large amount of slock will be taken by our citizens. The locality is certainly a very desirable one for the iron business, as the best quali ty of ore has been found within a lew miles of our town, and there is no doubt but that i abounds in inexhaustible quantities in the vicinity. The barrens are undoubtedly full ofit. Here is a chance for a fortune for some enterprising spirit, and our opin ion is it will not be long ere it is developed. —Oxford Press. CiiUßcn Dedication.—The Semtinel says that the Methodist Episcopal Church in Manheim was dedicated on Sunday, the 24th inst. Appropriate discourses were de livered by the Rev. C. F. Turner, of Lan caster, in the morning, and by the Rev. S. H. C. Smith, of Columbia, in the afternoon. We understand that about $lOO was collect ed. The weather was very fine, and doubt less a larger number ot persons would have been present had more timely notice been given of the occasion. Two Men Injured.—The Spy states that, on tbe 26th inst., as the workmen were engaged in excavating for the purpose of laying the pipes for the new water works in Columbia, a portion of the embankment gave way and nearly buried two men named Henry Dock and Albert Hougento gler. They were promptly dug out, when Mr. Hougentogler was found to be very much injured. He was taken to his home and the proper restoratives applied. Pennsylvania State Teachers’ As sociation.—This Association meets in Greensburg, this slate, on the 10th, 11th, and 12th, of next month August, Among the officers are E. O. Lyte, Lancaster coun ty, Asst. Secretary; J. P. McCaskey, Lan caster city, Corresponding Secretary; Amos Row, Lancaster city, Treasurer. -Addresses will be delivered by Prof. J. P. Wicker sham, State Superintendent; Prof. Brooks, and others. Accident.—A man named Stiffner, resid ing in Columbia, bad his knee dislocated at Wrightsviile, on Saturday last, by the caving in of an embankment. He was taken to his home in Columbia, and attend ed by Dr. Hinkle. He is now doing well. Railroad Depot at Marietta.—Tbe ground for the new Railroad Depot at Marietta was staked off on Friday afternoon. The building is to bq erected on a lot of ground just above Barr’s, -late Houseal’a Hotel at the Upper Station, and will be about the same size as the Lancaster depot. Work will be commenced upon it very soon. A Reduction.—The salary of letter car riers, in cities having a population less than 100.000 inhabitants, were reduced, on the Ist inst., from $l,OOO to $BOO per year. The sum of $1,950 has been raised for the purpose ofj building a Mission Sunday School chapel|for the Presbyterian church. Sad Case of Drowning.—The Columbia Spy states that George W., a lad aboat twelve years of age, son of George W. Hal* dem&n, (merchant) of that borough, was drowned at Chlcques, Thursday afternoon, He had been in.the water nearly an hour before found. Dm, Haldeman and Landis tried every means, to resuscitate him but withoat effect. The unfortunate lad visited Cblcqaes, for the purpose of. fishing, and with others went to the Cblcqaes creek, a short distance from the residence of Dr, Haldeman, for that purpose* He shortly after went into swim—the little girls who aocompanied leaving shortly before for dinner, and inquiry being made for George they said he had gone in to bathe. Search was immediately made and be was found drowned near tbe place designated by the girls. Ho was a fine little boy and the pet of a large circle of friends and relatives. The affair Is greatly regretted in the com munity. Additional Particulars.—The follow ing additional particulars respecting the recent drowning of Geoige W., eldest son of Mr. George W. Haldeman, of Columbia', will be read with Interest. The lad was about twelve years of age, and was making a temporary visit to bis cousins at the Fur nace, out unfortunately conceiving tbeidea of taking a solitary bath, he ventured be yond his depth, and beiog unable to swim, sank to rise no more In this life. He was submerged for about half an hour, und be ing of a delicate constitution, all Lhe efforts of the physicians necessarily failed to re store life, although all tbe appliances of modern art were retorted t> by the three physicians who were, with one exception, dv chance present. Had the boy been more robust, tbe means resorted to would have brought iiim to life, as more than three hours were exhausted in producing artifi cial respiration and lu endeavoring to re establish tbe circulation of the blood. Tbe principles followed on this occasion wore mainly those of the late Dr. Marshall Hall and Dr. H. B. Silvester; and are the result of extensive inquiries which were made by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution of England, among medical men, medical bodies and corouera throughout the kiug dom. , , , The extreme!limit of lime, after which a submerged body may be resuscitated. Is difficult to determine, as much depends on the physical condition of the sufferer. Dr. Bourgeois mentions a number of cases iu the “Archives de Medicine,” of revival after six hours immersion. The recovery, however, of such cases, must b<* owing to unusual vitality, and.it is not to be expect ed in the majority of cases. Religious.—lt is stated that tbe aggre gate vote on the question of Lay Delegation in the Methodist Church, is reported at 09,537 for and 25.G3S agaiust*. This decides the matter, nlthough there will probably be about 25 000 more votes to record. Tbe Methodist says: “What remains to be done is the formal completion of the meas ures initiated by the General Conference iu Chicago, May, IS6S. We may, therefore, look forward to the admission of lay dele gates to tbe Conference ot 1872.” The Rev. F. W. Conrad, D. D., formerly pastor ofthe Trinity Lutheran Church, this city, now Chairman of tbe Publication Board of the Lutheran Publication .Society in Philadelphia, makes an appeal to the friends of tbe institution for the loan of $lO,OOO for tbe purpose of enubhng the Board to publish one or two books every mouth. The following Presbyteries (Old School) have voted in favor of tbe union of tbe Old and New School Presbyterian Churches, upon tbe proposed plan adopted by the last General Assembly, most of them unani mously : New York, Londonderry, Albany, Allegheny City, Ohio, Erie, St. Louis, Bea ver, Clarion, Saltsburg, Troy, Buffalo City, Ogdensburg, Monmouth, Philadelphia, and Philadelphia Central. ~ a Splendid Barn.—Our correspondent at Conestoga Centre states that Mr. Abra ham Kendig has erected u barn daring the present season, on his farm, in the north eastern part of Conostoga towuship, that is surpassed in size by few in Lancaster coun ty, aud in completeness and convenience, as well as in its fine and handsome appear ance, by none. The manner in which the work is done reflects great honor upon the builder, Mr. Amos Benedict, of Conestoga Centre, as well as the enterprise does upon the owner, Mr. K., who is an intelligent, liberal-minded, and enterprising farmer. I ...is 104 feet long, 00 feet wide, and 20 feet high from lloor to square, and has a horso power building 2S feet by 30 feet attached, the lower part of which la occupied by the horse-power, and the upper part la filled with hay. It.is so arranged that, by merely shifting the belt, which connects the thrasbor with the horse-power, from one side to the other, the thrasher can be set ou either one of the thrashing floors, and thus the contents of the whole barn thrashed without moving the horse-power. Everything about tbo entire barn is finished in the most complete manner, aLI the boards are planed, the walls Oil UIU IUBIOu Vl.«. <!■'->* - «.r a.. stables macadamized, and the whole out side has received two coats of paint, and is to receive a third, which will finish the building. It contains all the conveniences found lu a modern first-class barn. Its cost was between $7,000 and $B,OOO. There are a number of floe barns in this section, ranging from 05 feet to 100 feet in length, und 50 feet to 00 feet in width, well finished and finely painted, but Mr. IC's. exceeds all the others somewhat in size oh well as In superiority of style aud finish. Mr. Benedict, the builder of H, who has also been the builder of nearly all first-class burns in this section, pronounces this to be the finest und most complete barn tbut ho has yet built. Mr. K’s farm contains about 100 acresof the most productive land in this county, and yet the present crop of hay, wheat, and oats, which has been a very large one, baa all beeu stored in this barn, and room enough remains to store his crop of corn fodder. Death of a Prominent Citizen.—Mr. Frederick old and prominent citizen of Lancaster died suddenly ut Philadelphia this morning. He was a suc cessful business man, and accumulated a handsome fortune in the lumbertrade. In 1848 he retired from business, and after wards made the tour of Europe. He re sided in Lancaster until about a year ago, when admonished by disease be went to live with a sister in Philadelphia. The de ceased had many friends. He was never m arried. Peace to his ashes. Two Boys Shot.—Two boys, named Frank Hinder, aged 19 years, and William Hinder, aged about 14 years, were shot on Saturday at a farm about one mile and three-quarters southeast of this city, not far from the Old Factory bridge. It seems that the boys were intruding upon the premises of the father-in-law of Mr. Henry Rowe when they were shot by Mr. Rowe. It appears that they were ordered off of the premises, when they made some demonstrations aB if they intended to attack Mr. R., when he procured a gun and shot at them. The gun wus only tired once, but the load took effect in the side and shoulder of the older brother Frank inflicting a severe but, we under stand, not a dangerous wound—a few oi the scattering shot striking the youoger brother William on the shoulder, wounding him slightly. Mr. Howe brought the boy Frank to iiis home in West Strawberry street, this city, in a wagon, and staled to his parents that he was Borry that the affair occurred, as his intention waajto;frighten not to hurt the boys. The oldest boy was attended by Dr. Carpenter and is doing as well as could be expected. Almost a Fire.—On Friday the mill belonging to Mr. Binckley, located one mile west of this city, on the Columbia turnpike, came very nearly being destroyed by fire. It seems that a little child of Mr. 8., while playlDg in the second story of the mill, sot tire to a quantity of shavings left on the floor by some carpenters, who were en gaged in making some repairs in the build ing. The fire was not immediately discov ered, and when first seen was under con siderableheadway. The workmen engaged at the mill attempted to extinguish the flames by buckets of water from tbe trough, always kept full, which is placed in front of the mill. They worked long and arduous ly, but all their efforts appeared in vain ; the flames seemed to increase in size, and finally the dense smoke drove them from the room and they stood on the outside of the building awaiting its destruction. The head miller employed by Mr. Binckley would not, however, give up hope ofsaving the building; ho commenced with great Industry to carry.wuter ancLfbrow on the flames. This hopeful and courageous con duct encouraged the spectators to action, and, led by him, they dashed bucketfoll after bucketfull npon the fire until It was extinguished. Thus the brave example of one man was the cause of saving much valuable properly from destruction. Truly, “Perseverance overcomes all things.” The Fire—The roof of the stable und shop belonging to Mr. John Kepner, situ ated back of Waterstreet, In the First Ward, this city, caught fire about 5 o’clock, on Friday evening. The fire is supposed to have been caused by a spark fiom tbe Foundry, of Mr. Dillor, alighting on the shingle roof of the building. The roof was burned off and a number of sieves for grain fans belonging to Mr. Samuel Keeler were destroyed. A lot of segars and tobacco be longing to Mr. Kepner was damaged by water. The loss Incurred Is fully covered by insurance in one of our Lancaster Com panies. The firemen were soon on the ground and quickly extinguished the flames. Inquest.—The remains of an unknown man, supposed to have been drowned, were found on the 31st ult., among a pile of drift wood lodged on an island in the Susque hanna river, about a mile above Safe Har bor. The body was in such a state of de composition that the beud and one foot bad dropped off, and were gone. An inquest was held by A. R. Witmer, esq., Deputy Coro ner, and a verdict rendered that the deceas ed came to his death by drowning, or some other cans® unknown to the jury.— Express. Warwick Ahead.— The Inquirer re cently stated that Mr, M. L. Ureider, of Rapho township, had exhibited at the office of that newspaper two stalks of oats with very large heads containing respectively 168 and 147 grains. Warwick township is, however, ahead of Rapho in the production of oats, as, Thurs day, Mr. W- B. Eitnler,of Lheformer town ship, exhibited to us two splendid oats stalks with heads containing respectively 194 and 181 grains. Mr. Eitnier has Christy ened the oats “ Packer Oats ” —and wants any one, who can, to furnish better speci mens of oat-heads. Southern Lancaster County. —A cor respondent of the Chester County fiepubli' can writes to that paper a letter in which is well described a portion of Little Britain and Folion townships, this connty. We take from the letter the following extracts: “ The Octoraro is a noble stream, and makes the dividing line between the grand old counties of Chester and Lancaster; by reference to the map it will be observed that the Octoraro, after It first crosses Mason and Dixon's line into Maryland, comes back into Pennsylvania, as if to seek some other course than through Maryland to the Sus quehanna river. In this horse-sboe-like bend, is a farm of one hundred and some acres, that used to be called the no county land, and for many years paid no lax, be cause the officers of Chester county oould not reach it without going either into Lan caster county, or Cecil county, Md. f and the same difficulty was in the way of the Lancaster county officers. The Octoraro being the line of these respective conntles, the assessors did not feel bound to cross the oounty line, whilst Cecil county could not tax it because it was In another State. When the Legislature of Pennsylvania au thorized the levying of a State Tax, this property was assessed, as It was clearly In Pennsylvania.' The assessor of West Not tingham returned this farm, and it has ever since been assessed in Chester county, for State and County, and for School and Road Tax In West Nottingham. From Octoraro *to‘ Oak HilJ, about three miles, is generally a heavy upgrade; fine fields’of grass and grain on either side of the road, with good and substantial farm buildings, cheer the traveller, where but a few years ago mnch of the laud lay oat an open common. Oak Hill is a village of considerable im portance; here la one of the most commo dious hotels found iu a country place, where city boarders, I am told, resort in the warm season, and although tbe'steam whistle can only be heard here under favorable circum stances, the good effects of railroad facilities are plainly visible. From Oak Hill to Penn Hill, a distance of about five miles, we pass through a fine agricultural country ; grain growing is the main branch of agriculture in this region, and the products find a market via Not tingham und Baltimore Central. As you approach the Susquehanna, the land be comes more rough and hilly, but highly productive. We urrlved at Peachbottom village a little before sun down. Well, what shall I say of this place? On the east side is a tremendous hill coming down almost to the edge of the river. Here are extensive Slate Quarries, a few houses, most of which are taverns, at which, from appearances, no small quantity of the ardent is disposed of; (here is, however, a considerable amount of business done here, principally in Slate and Lumber. We bad the good fortune to arrive at the ferry j ust as the boat came to anchor on this side. The carriage, horse, and our dear selves were soon loaded on board the craft, and pushed off from “ Terra Firma.” The river here is one and three-quarter miles wide, interspersed with numerous islands, one, within perhaps about eighty yards of the oast] shore, contains, I think, over a hundred acres, much of which is good farm land. A hill or mountalu of small dimen sions at the base, rises out of this Island to a height surpassing any of the surrounding hills on either shore. Passongers and freight are transported here in a flat-bottomed boat, about thirty feet long and ten wide, two or more men with poles being the motive power. The water was in fine boating order, not perhaps more thau five feet deep lnany pluce except the east shore. We had a splendid boat ride, the water was calm, just breeze enough to make the air cool and balmy, whilst the gilded sunset lighted up with sublime magnificence, the everlasting hills that have from the creation confided this noble sheet of water to its natural bed. ** 3tS*«» There is a great necessity for a railroad from Oxford to Peachbottom. It Is said that about one hundred miles of railroad made on this line will complete another railroad connection via Hanover Junction and the Connellsvillo and Pittsburg Kail rood between Philadelphia and Pittsburg ; the distance between tne two cities being some 40 or 50 miles shorter than the Penn sylvania Central. Such a road would pass through parts of the southern tier of coun ties in Pennsylvania that abound in min .erai, agricultural and material wealth, that is now out of profitable reach of railroad facilities. The right spirit is aroused in York county. I was credibly informed, that the citizens of Peachbottom township alone had subscribed over one hundred thousand dollars towards the road contem plated. Had they railroad facilities the slate quarries at Peachbottom would ship fifty or perhaps a hundred thousand tons of slate annually.’' Tuk Maniieiii Slate Quarries. During the past week a party of gen tlemen of Lancaster, consisting of Quarry men and Slaters, paid Manbelm a visit foi Lbo purpose of examining the Slato Quar ries of Messrs. LielitouLhalor, and Millet tS, Tiurmau. situated ucai Manu u im, AU a after carefully examining the several spe cimens of slate, pronounced it woll adapt ed for the purpose intended. The quarry of Mr. Lichtentbaeler, where the blue slate is abundant for roofing Hud other purpo ses, is at present not worked, In conso quenco of the pumps not being ready ; but will bo in operation in a few days. The old quarry whore tbo purplo slate is found Is In full operation. This quarry Is also under control of Mr. Lichlentbnler and worked by him, but on the farm ol Messrs. Miller & Harman. This slate is ground up and converted into what is called Plastic Slate Roofing, which.is now exten sively adopted in the larger cities, and for making paint for nearly all kinds of build ings, and which is sure to bo used by all painters when properly introduced and tested. The party after passing encomiums of praise upon its enterprising proprietor, Mr. Llchteuthaler, for his successful un dertaking and energy in producing from the bowels of the earth articles so much in vogue, left the village highly delighted with their visit. Stable Burned.—The framo stable, with shingle roof, belonging to Mr. W. H. H. Bucklus, alley between Wal nut and Lemon streets, in the Ninth Ward, this city, was destroyed by Are about half past ten o’clock on Sunday evening. A small quantity of hay was in the stable ut the time of the fire, which, together with tbe combustible cbaracler of the materials out of which tho stnble was constructed, made the lire for a short timo a very bright one ; the flames ascending to quite a heightb and brilliantly illuminating that portion or the city where the stable was located. The fire was prevented from spreading by our firemen, who deserve great credit for the commendable industry with which they checked what otherwise would have proven a disastrous conflagration, as many of the buildings in the immediate vicinity of the stable are wooden. Tbe stable was insured for $lOO In the Girard Fire Insurance Com pany of Philadelphia; Mr. Buckius’ loss is estimated at about sl2o over tbe abovo in surance. Tho Are was the work of an in cendiary. It is reported that a man was seen by persons residing near the stable to run away from it shortly before the lire broke out. Found Dead.—An woma named Susan nah Weller was found dead iu bed on the 13th°of July at tbe house of Jacob Weller, iu Brecknock township. An inquest was held on the body by E. D. White, Esq., and a verdict rendered by the jury of death from natural causes. New Greenbacks.—A portion of the new issue ofgreenbacks will be ready about tbe Ist of September. It is stated that the new one.dollar notes will have a vignette of Washington and a representation of the discovery of America by Columbus on the face, instead of the vignette of Chief J ustice Chase as on those now in use. Tbe two dollar notes will bavo a vignette of Jeffer son and a view of tho Capitol instead of the vignette of Franklin on the present ones.— The designs for the now fives, tens, twen ties ajid other denominations bavo not yet been determined upou.
