THE POLITICAL HO]
TUo Coming fltorm-Flasbevo
den. Grant Dissected by a Bndlcal San*
grade—Scathing Review oftbe present
Administration by a Lively Bepnbll
can. I
Under the above startling heading that
staunch Republican newspaper, the New
York Sun, republishes the following re
markable letter from Washington to a lead
ing Radloal paper In tbo Woit the Cincin
nati Commercial: \
A morning gust sweepß do.wn upon us
dally from Long Branch-. It is. disgust
Forney contlnuotr to edit (grant’s cigar
stumps and the hours of Mrs. Grant’s baths.
These things are ambrosial to (sycophants;
they are nauseous to sound Stomachs. I
burn my oigar stumps no shorter than
Grant’s. Your wife keeps herself as clean
with ablutions as the Mistress President.
Why so much fanfaronade? If [details must
be told, the news comes of the latter lady
that she is hanging to Grant’S Srm at Long
Branch with every step bo takes, like a
broken sprig of dogwood. How else would
she be known as tbo Indy of the President?
Certainly. The President, what of him?
Grant, turning his Administration intoboll
dny, sends for his Bind. The yolvet sands
of Long Branch have not felt ihelr magnetic,
spankling tread. Grant without a horse,
losbb his electricity. The horses without
Grant, lose their airing. The black favorites
must be sent to him, .perhaps, us Dana ac
cuses the Tallapoosa, at the Government
expense.
We will wait a lltilo. But, giving the
best guess from the present standpoint, the
President has failed us. He is a disap
pointment, He has not done one luminous
act sinco coming into power on the 4lh of
March, not one that tbo people have risen
up and applauded him for. Ho is opaquo
to-day as in tho interregnum forming his
Cabinet, and iho thing cleareßt in this ca
pacity is that the light is not In him, no
more than in the tumble-down Cabinet af
fair. The peoplo have pinned faith to his
inyatoriousness long enough, and it is all
that they bavo yet, or perhaps will have
till the end, to assure them of tbo future.
There is a kind of pretentious inconse
■ quenoe about tho Administration that is
ridiculous, a running to and fro of blue
bruechud, shoulder-strap lackeys, a buzz of
Imss drums In the back ground, as if there
wore being spread tho not of some compli
•euto, far sighted, tremendous policy, a
shimmer and show of pondorousness that
exists only In tho expectations of tho peo
plo. Tho doubt, oneu in a while, grows
thick whether Grunt is not more at homo
in a gig behind his Havana than in tho
Whilo House, fronting the peoplo. Looking
him steudily in the luce, it occurs to you
that Lite Republican party, powerful as it
was, might have luken from his box tho first
intelligent hucknmn on tho street, and dono
us well. Grant's face has no clearness or
Illumination in it, more than had his mill
tary policy for breaking down tbo rebi 11 ion..
The Atlantic Monthly lately contained an
urliclo upon bis ''lntellectual character.”
It Is in doubt whether it exists. Not a mar,
woman, or half-grown child in the country
but has constantly put tho riddlo those two
years: "How is it that Grant, with this
face like a stogy bool, is a grout man?”
Tho real query is as to tho fact. Tho whole
mutter will "probably turu out simply
enough, tbut, like other men, ho is what he
appears to bo. Tho Brutuaos who seom
fools and turn up wiso men are few. Grant
swung to the head of military affairs when
ijio momentum of tho nation was roady to
break down treason. Ho swung to tho
front of civil uHuim when tho party that
gave supremacy to ideas had become tho
nation llsolf, and lie as a bubble borne on its
Hurfuce. In either case tbo peoplo huvo
been of real Importance, anil the man of
llotitlouH importance. We wunted a hero
and a President, and pronounced the word
-- G rant.

pushing his social prerogatives to the full

since tho adjournment of Congress. Grunt
has passed ball' of them here, the rest in
social unbending elsewhere. They say he
takes gaily to the dance at Long Branch,
sliding through the ligures more glibly than
than at Annapolis and West Point. This
is very well, but the country is asking ol
him aud bis Cabinet a few serious ques
tions that it would be well to have answered
from Washington, reception balls at the
iseashoro notwithstanding. What about
Cuba, South America, Virgiula, tbo South,
the Alabama matters, ami political assas
sinations?

It is credible that tho cabinet aud the
head of the nation, properly digestingtheso
things, would not find much time to be ab
sent from the capital. Anyhow, tho nation
is anxious to see looming above tho rosy
horizon of balls, routs, excursions, ban
quets, receptions, and seaside frivolities,
the executive bead of a powerful
Republican Administration. We are
hardly contented with this sphinx-litto
policy. It may ho Delphic, as Sheila
burger said, but is less than Republi
can Tho Prosidont would do well to ac
cept humility from tho Cabinet fiasco and
consult the people henceforth. A member
oftbe Grant family is reported to have re
marked just after the nomination : ‘‘J t was
the General's desire not to bo made Presi*
dent by a party, but by tho people.” Per
haps hero is a little light. Perhaps Grant
believes that the "era of good feeling” may
return again under his administration;
thut ho is a Colossus, under whoso legs nil
the people can wsdk. So far the
I'i;ttine<s of him administration
have bi'on the most objectionable, anti now,

stop iiuying bagatelles In New York, and
parading ins Presidency along tlm porches

•run DENTS foil KVEII.
Early afior tin* inauguration, when olllceu
and honors were heaped, like AUllu’sbuek
lers upon lho royal bouso of Dent, you
might have heard hero umong certain sa
gacious Western men pertinently suggested
tho establishment of arms “to go into the
brother-in-law business.” Tho suggestion
hud dropped from my mind until, urlsing
from my sick bed, I hear the bn/.zlng oi a
fresh swartn of Dents—come out like lo
iHists—applying for satrapies in the South
.wasf.
One believes almost that there is some
• whore a brokerage of this magic namoupou
whoso l.'wrors honors und cilices are ex
• peeled - to-drop like stars. A storekeeper of
jtho capital of Ancient Persia went one day
\£o Ibrahim, tho Governor of his province,
to request tlio abatotnent of tho taxes ho was
unable to pay to llusho Ibrahim, a chief
magistrate ol tho city, and the Governor’s
brother.
»• You must pay or leave the oily,” repli
ed tho Governor, " Whore Hbull Igo? ’’
asked the shopkeeper. “To Shiraz,” was
tho reply. “ Your nephew rules that city,
and your family are my enemies,” said the
Bhopkeoper* " Then go to Casliin.” “But
your uncle Is Governor there.” “ Then
•complain to SbuLi.” “ lie is your elder
brother, and Prime Minister.” “Then go
to tho lower regions !” exclaimed the Gov
ernor In a passion. “Alas! your pious
father is doi»<l.” retorted tho storekeeper.
History repeats its trying situations, it is
said, for oyory people. The Dents are our
Ibrahims. Wo meet them omnipresent
here, and only by a virtuous life have tho
hope of escaping them in the hereafter.

Columbus, Ohio, Aug. B—General8 —General Rose

that he does not cousider himself a citizen

Andy Johnson’B return to the United

least agreeable to the blatant radical rulers.
He has the one grand virtue that he will
not be put down, und, therefore, discussion
in the Senate will be the less monotonous
for his presence. He has a Union record
that no man can impeach. Ho is a South

Louisville, Ky., Aug. 7.— The Courier-
Journal has the following special telegrams
from Shelby ville, Ky,, giving an aocountoi
eolentlfio observations made there to-day:
The observations made here to-day were
very satisfactory, and, In many respects,
gratifying. The following persons com-
Srlsed tho joint board of observation for
belbyville: Professor James Winton, of
Harvard University, In charge of observa
tions of phenomena, assisted by Alban
Clark, profeßSor, of Cambridge, assistant;
George W. Dean, of tbe Coast Survey, in
charge of observations of precision, assisted
by F. Bloke. Jr., of the Coast Survey; J. A.
Wlpple, of Boston, assisted by Geo. Clark
and J. Prendergast, had charge of tbo pho
tographs. Prof. G. M. Bearle,of New York,
devoted himself to the observation of gen
eral phenomena, and daring tbo total phase
was to search for intermercurialSplanets.
Sub-Assistant T. H. Agnew also devoted
himself to observations of general phenom
ena, and had charge of tbe observatory ar
rangements, belDg assisted by R. E. Shar
rod, of Louisville. The meteorological ob
servations were made by Professor Sey
mour, of Louisville, and Robert Lewis, of
Shelby ville. Among the amateurs present
was Mr. Bowditch, of Boston, son of the
celebrated astronomer. One or the import
ant discoveries made by Professor Winlock,
at tho spectroscope, was eleven bright lines
in the spectrum of the protuberances of the
sun, only five having heretofore been de
termined. He blbo observed a sbower of
meteors between tbe earth and the moou.
The party are j übilant over their success.
Photographs of the sun were taken at dif
ferent times. DuriDg the partial obscura
tion the beautiful red flames or solar pro
tuberances were visible to the naked eye.
Bailey’s Beads, us well as the dark shadows
of the moon sailing away through the air
woro noted by a party of amateurs station
ed on the top of Shelby College. The sky
was perfectly clear, oud everything seemed
to propltiato tho success of tbe observations;
There were ten or twelve mounted instru
ments in use on the occasion, tho principal
one of which was the Shelbyyille College
telescope, which was handled by Professor
Winlock, assisted by Alban G. Clark, of
Cambride, Mass. This is a tine instrument,
costing $4,000, and it once ranked third in
tho United Stales.
Lightning.
Arcturus, Venus and Mercury were visi
ble to tho nuked eye during the total phase. |
Mr. Searle, whose duty it was to search for
intermercurial planets, did not succeed in [
iinding any, reporting nothing fainter than
Kegulus near the sun. When the sunlight j
commenced to become dim, a large number i
of citizens rushed to the college grounds,
the headquarters of tbo observers. Some
minutes before the total phase, the usual j
phenomena of distraction among birds of j
tho air and cattle occurred. Six minutes i
before totality, a deathly ashen hue over- !
spread the countenances of all present, and
for awhilo the faiot-heurled v/ero terrified.
Tho scene during the totality was an awl’ui !
ouo. When the sunlight appeared again a
shout of exultation went up Irom tho great
crowd in tho eollego grounds. 1

Chester Coumy Democratic Convention.
West Chester, Aug. 9, 1869.—' The De
mocracy of Chester coumy held their annual
meeting here to day, and it was largely at
louded. It was called to order by Judge
Strickland, Chairman of the County Com
mittee, and then organized by the appoint
ment of John H. Brintnn, Ksq., as Presi
dent, and a number of Vice Presidents and
Secretaries. Able and satisfactory speeches
were made by Messrs. Monaghan, Hem
phill and Briuton ; and a committee of thir
teen, of which J. A. McCaughey, Ksq., was
Chairman, reported the following preamble
and resolutions, which wero unanimously
adopted:
The Democracy of Chester county do not
deem it necessary, on this occasion, to give
a lull expression of their views on the vari
ous questions which havo received their at
tention when assembled in general meeting
in former years. Suffice it to say that their
dovotion to the principles and doctrines
then avowed continues unabated. They are
now, as ever, for the Constitution as the su
preme.law to rulers and people; for the
Federal Union under that Constitution ; lor
tbe rights of the States and of the people as
recognized by the patriot founders of our
Republican institutions; for exclusive
“ white ” suffrage, and “white” naturali
zation; for just und equul taxation, by
which every man shall bo compelled
to contribute to the support of the ,
Sluto; the county and the school dis- !
trict, in proporttou to his ability, and by
which lubor shall bo protectod from tbe
selfishness of monopoly aud capital, lbr a
sound currency—not that for which the
people are now heavily taxed under the
national banking system, but of gold and !
silver, as udvocated by Jefferson and Jack- j
son : for honest and economical legislation, \
Federul and Stnte, und for a reduction of i
salaries and official compensations. We be- |
hove that theso sentiments ure in harmony |
with the best Interests of tho people, and ,
that tho day Is not distant when they will ,
ho in the ascendancy in iho councils of tho ]
.Stato and Nation. Thoroloro, I
Resolved , Tbut wo regard Asa Packer nod i
Cyrus L. Pershing, as not only fit Jor, but |
In ai' respects worthy of tho high offices for j
which they huvo been notninuted. Their :
lives and characters arc an ussurunco to tbe i
people that thoy will huvo iu them a firm,
honest und faithful Kxoeutlve, aud an able,
upright und impartial Judge.
Resolved, That it Is unreasonable to ex
pect a cessation of tho corrupt and extrava
gant legislation at Harrisburg, so long as
the people continue in office a Governor,
who has, by his acts, proven himself to be
in sympathy und accord with such legisla
tion, and that, thereloro, it is a duty which
they owe to themselves to prevent tbe re
election of John W. Geary.
Resolved, Tbut the Committee of Corres
pondence cull a County Convention of dele
gates for tbe purpose of forming a ticket at
West Chester, at such a limo as thoy may
deem expedient.
The prospect looks well for tho Demo
cratic parly iu this region. Chester will
poll more votes for Packer than she has ever
given to any Democratic candidate, and the
vote for Geary will be considerably less
thau it was in ’CO.

We are informed that a young man liv

taken sick about two years ago, and fell
into u deep sleep, from which he onlyawoko
about two weeks since. Tho first expres
sion he made use of on coming to was. “ Is

been asleep but ono night. A physician
had been attondingon him all tbetime, and
happened in .just after he awoke. On walk
ing up to tho bed, be called the patient by

which»he replied by asklDg. “Who are

physician who bad been attending him con
stantly fur two years, he could hardly be
lieve his senses. During his sleep he was
fed regularly with spoon victuals, as though
he was conscious. He Is now up, enjoying
good health, aud busily engaged in trying
to get tbe events of the last two years posted

THE LINU&STER WEEiKIiiT H, 1569.
Terrible Conflagration in Fbltadelpbla.
Great Destruction or Property ana Loss
of Life.
One of themost destructive fires that eve?
visited Philadelphia occurred last week. It
began.with tbp'Tailingof a portion of the
bonded warehouses at Front and Lombard
streets, owned by Colonel Wm. C, Patter
son. The building was stored with whisky,
which ran Into tho furnaces of the boilers,
and caught fire, producing an explosion.
The entire blook of warehouses, eight In
number, were destroyed. Hundreds of the
barrels of whisky were crushed in tbe fail,
and their contents igniting ran down the
steep declivity on Lombard street to the
sewers, making 6 scene truly grand. The
intense beat soon set fire to the sailor board
ing house of Thomas Boyle, situated on the
squthwest corner of Penn and Lombard
streets, but this was saved from total de
struction by the heroic firemen, numbers of
whom by this time bad arrived on the
ground. For one hour and a half did this
debris'eoutinue to barn with bat little
abatement. This was caused by tho explo
sion of the whisky barrols in tho midst of
the pile.
At a quarter after nine o’clock a portion
of the wall which hud divided the two
southern stores fell with a frightful crash,
and barrel upon barrel of whisky which
had been piled up in the Bocond structure
came rolling out on tbe pile of ruins, and
several of them in their passage exploded,
bupdoing no damage. From thisjeompart
ment tbo fire extended to the upper part of
its neighbor, and so along until the whole
eight wero in flames.
As each of the compartments caught,
there would be explosion after explosion of
barrels, and tbe burning liquid would pour
into tbe lower floors and from them into the
street; and down the gutters to Pino street
and iuto the sewers. So rapid did it flow
at one time that the sewer got so full of gas
that an explosion took place, causing a
stampede among the thousands of specta
tors congregated in its immediate vicinity.
By elevou o’clock the fire seemed to have
done its worst—the division walls and a
largo portion of the Front and Penn streets
walls were lying In tbe streets.
Shortly after midnight the battlement
wall separating dwelling No. 409 and the
northern compartment of the warehouse
fell into tho rums, and instautly the roof of
No. 409 was in a blaze. From this it com
municated to No. 407, which was unoccu
pied, and to Nos. 405, 403 and 401.
Tho heat was so intense and tho air so
full of flying embers from tbe falling walls,
that tbe properties on the east side of Front
l street were on lire seveial tiinos, but the
I firemen managed to save them. A heavy
| westerly wind sprung up and blew tho
1 flames to tbe eastward. Wall after wall
fell, and tho burning embers filled tho air
i for squares around. Un the surrounding
houses could bo seen dozens of men throw
ing pails of water over tbo beuted roofs.
The J'ust which kept its columns open
! until two thus describes the situation ut
i that hour:
-Tlio heavy ruin und hall-storm has been
of valuable aid to the Amman, who bavo
fought the devouring element fool by foot.
But lor them, assisted by tho Police in
maintaining n clear fire ground, tho block
between Penn street and the Delaware
must have gone. Hundreds of peoplo still
cluster around tho neighborhood all seem
ing determined to see the Are out.
The Josh is estimated nt nearly $0,000,000.
Tho warehouse alone, It is said contained
$5,000,000 of liquor, nearly alt of which was
consumed,
The saddest part of tho afluir is that there
is a well grounded supposition that tho en
gineer, liromun and watchman are all bu
rled benoutb iho ruins, but wo hopo such
is not the cuso.
It is very probable that even a larger
number of porsons arc injurod than those
reportod in tho confusion. Many of tho
men who wero employed in and about the
warehouses, nnd those who work on tbo
wharves, live in the immediate neighbor
hood of the conflagration, and wore In the
habit of congregating about tho buildings.
11 was tho custom of these men to nil on thu
pavement against the walls of the ware
house, und it 1h possible that some of these
have suffered suvoro injuries, perhaps deuth.
Jacob Andrews, residing on Potm street,
below Lombard, waa struck on tbo head by
a brick nnd soverely Injured. Taken to
tho Pennsylvania Hospital.
Daniel liugorty, u polleo officer, residing
at Penn nnd South streets, hud his luce and
head badly burned. Taken homo.
Michael McNulty, a drayman, whilo dri
ving along Front street, was struck on tho
bond with n brick. Taken to tho Hospital.
William Gilles, residing nt No. 512 Penn
street, had both arms broken.
Thomas Proctor, colored, aged twenty
two, residing at Tenth and Rodman streets
budly scalded, Ts at tho Hospital.
Albort Brest, of tho Hope Engino, fell off
tbo ladder and had bis bead severely injur

1 About 1 o’clock,while the fire was still rag
; iug. a heavy thunder storm added to tbe
scum?. Thu Hashes oflightning, the heavy
penis of thundor, the full of ruin, the im

the prostrate ruins, with the confusion of

scone the equal of which is rarely witnessed.
The wall of the warehouse building now
fell in with a great crash, and the whole of
tho Front street portion of the building, ex
cept section A, near Pino street, was level
with the ground. Fortunately no persons
were injured by the falling walls. There
were several general alarms given through
out the night, and the Camden Fire De
partment responded.
A recapitulation of the insurances Bhows
the following:
Heading, 1 company
Philadelphia, 1-1 companies.
New York, 31 companies
Rhode Island, 4 companies.
Connecticut, 11 companies...
Great Britain, 5 companies..
Maryland, 7 companies
Massachusetts, 2 companies
Illinois, ‘2 companies
Ohio, 1 company
Crtliforn a, 2 companies 50,000
These amounts foot up over two and a
quarter m VUiou dollars. Very many of the
insurances wore recently effected ; the char
acter of the warehouses for strength and
non-liability to damage by lire made the
ageDta feel quite safe in taking any risks.
Toe buildings were called fireproof, and the
ouly wood used in their construction was
in the joists and fioots, the doors and win
dow frames, and the sheathing for the met
al roof. Fireproof buildiDgs, as now con
structed, have iron joists and window
frames, and floors supported by brick
arches. .
The warehouse was substantially built,
and particular attention was given to the
foundation walls. The portion which fell
is said to have borne far more weight than
was on it on Wednesday. The boilers were
reached yesterday, and it was found that
they had not snsiained any damage, which
puts at rest the rumor that they had explo
ded. A new theory was advanced yester
day in respect to the cause of the fire. It
is surmised that there was a leak in the gas
-pipe which runs through a private sewer
along with a blow-off pipe of the engine,
and that gas finding its way into; the boiler
room came in contact with the furnace,
causing the first explosion which brought
down the wall. Residents in the neighbor
hood, however, say that the wall fell some
minutes before an explosion was heard.
Philadelphia, Aug. 6.—The great con
flagration at Front and Lombard sts„ still
smoulders, smokes, and occasionally lights
into a tiny blaze as Borne loose timbers, nn
reached by ■water, are touched by unextln
glshed embers amid the rubbish. • A* yes
terday and last evening, so'alio to-day, a
constant stream of people ebbs ana -flows
around the burned hollaing. The curiosity
of tho citizens to behold the place upon
which so great destruction had been work*
©j in so brief a period Is not yet sated.
While* the whole Interior of the building,
has disappeared, at its
both upon Penn and Front streets portions
of the wall are still standing. In the sur
rounding properties, damaged either by fire
or by water, parties are already actively at
work dealing and repairing. The fire and
Its losses created quite a dlsousslon yester
day in the Treasury Department at Wash
ington. The question was raised whether
tbe owners of spirits could not claim from
the Government the refunding of internal
revenue tax paid on whiskey destroyed. It
was alleged on the one band that the gov
ernment refolded duty on sngordeetroyed
undor similar circumstances, andstatea on
the other, if taxes were refunded in this way
there would be no end to it, and that mil
lions of dollars would be taken from the
Treasury to pay bogus claims which may
be presented for fictitious leases. Patter
son’s warehouse ceased to be an internal
revenue bonded warehouse, class B, ou the
30th of June, and some of those who par
ticipated in tbe discussion expressed the
beLief that this fact was ofitself a bar against
any claim for refunding.
The case is an important one to distilllo.e
and dealers in other articles wbteh may be

ancholy circumstances connected with the
fire is the doath of Mr. William Alburger,
which took place at his residence last nigut.

About twelve miles southwest fro inhere,
in the town of Raymond, In Stearns boon*
ty, was the dwelling house of a well-to-do
and respectable farmer, Mr. Richard Rich
ardson, formerly of Rice county, in this
State.. At tbe time of the commencement or
the storm on Friday night, he and his fami
ly were quietly enjoyiog their home, with
others of the neighborhood, who were stop \
plngoyer night with them. About twelve
o’clock Mr. Kichardson remarked to his
wife that be feared they would have a hard
storm. Before be could arrouse tbe family
or even make* any preparations himself, the
tornado burst upon them with such force as
to tear to pieces and scatter about for a dis
tance of a quarter of a mile the entire house
and Its oontents, together with the Inmates.
There were at tbe time twelve persons in
the building, tbe moat of them up stairs
asleep. ,
It was a block or log-house 16x24, one and
a half stories high, well dove-tailed at the
comers and pinned with two-Inch oak pins.
Mr. and Mrs. Richardson and tbe smalt
child alone remained In the ruins of the

his recovery, ' George, the secocd bod, thir
teen years old. was also carried thirty rods
and had his right ankle brokon, the bone
protruding through the fiesb. lie is also
badly bruised in many places. While tbe
third son, three years of age, Jwas borne
somelbirtv rods, and hurlea to the ground
so ba&ly iojared that be lived only a few
moments. Two othor children, little girls,
were taken from their beds, twisted up in
their bed clothes,and dropped on the opposite
side oftbe building from thereat, unharm
ed. Mrs. R. received some injories on and
about the head and face, bat nothing more
serious. This is about tbe extent of the in
j urles received by the family of Mr. R. Miss
AnDa Wilson, a sobool teacher, stopping at
the house of Mr. R., having some some
fears at the time, bad risen dressed and was
sitting up when the wind struck the build
ing.
ahe was carried with the rest, mixed in
with broken pieces of timber, boxes, bar
rels, cupboards, trunks, bedding and fur
niture, and the entire contents ot the upper
part of the house, thirty-seven rods, and
deposited in the wheat field. She was so
badly bruised that there is little hope of her
recovery. Liberty Raymond, 22 years old,
eldert son of L. B. Raymond, from whom
the towu of Raymond takes its name, waa
among the uuJortunate. He was carried
about the same distance as Mr. R’s. oldest
son, and so badly mangled that ho only
survived a short time. Tho seeno at the
house when the daylight came, is much
easier imagined than describe 1, Mr. K. be
ing tho only ouo left after Iho disaster to
collect In tho dead and dying, and to care
for the injured ones. Alter looking for and
finding the most of them in the midnight
gloom, it being very dark and stormy, he
proceeded to the neighbors to give the alarm
uud procure assistance. All of the medical
aid was soon oil the road to tho scene of
distress.

An Enormous Snake— lt Attacks a
Child.— A large black snake, over six foot
long, made an attack ou Tuesduy last, the
3d inst, on a little boy between 7 und 8
years of age, son of Mr. U. Strickler, of
Conestoga Centre. Mr. S. had gone"black
berrying" on tho forge hills, near Coleman
ville, In Conestoga township. In tho after
noon one of his litlle boys lay down nnd
foil »slo«p undor » tron. whfirft the basket
had been placed, while Mr. S.Cwas picking
berries about 10 or 12 yards distant. Mr.
S. finding some May apples, called the boy
and threw them to him who picked them
up and put them in a basket, und then lay
down again. In a few minutes after the
boy uttered a piercing scream, jumped up,
antLcried out that he was attacked by a
bigsnake. His father hastened to his as
sistance and soon dispatched the snake
which made no attem pt to escape. The boy
says he was awakened by feeling something
moving at his arm |and side, and looking
to see what it was, he saw the snake and
jumped up. It is supposed by persons who
are acquainted with the habits of this spe
cies of-snake that it was on the tree uDder
which the bey was asleepj and that it drop
ped itself from some low branches of the
tree on the child intending to coil around
and crush or choke him, but that tho snake
was prevented from accomplishing its ob
ject’by the child lying fiat on tbe ground
and'suddeniy jumping up. From the short
time which had elapsed after the child lay
down, the second time, it Is supposed that
he could not have been very soundly asleep
If the child had been sleeping very soundly
the consequences might have been more
serious ; as it was tbe child was not hurt.—
Mr. S. had no way to measure the length of
snake accurately ; but from such moans as
were at hand it was found to bo between 3
and 7 feet in length.
A large black snake is said to have been
seen at various times—some years fre
quently, and other years not at all—for the
last 25 years, on the bills Pequea
in the vicinity of Conestoga Centre and
Marticville, by a great many different per
sons, some (at least) with a character un
surpassed for truth Accord
ing to the accounts of the persons, who say
they have seen the snake, it is not less than
C to 8 inches in diameter, and 20 to 25 feet iu
length. It is said that this snake was seen
again about a week ago, near the Pequea,
a short distance back of Conestogu Centre,
by some boys. No one, as vetjwbo has seen
this snake, has'.been bold "enough to make
an attack upon it.

Accident and Narrow Escape.—The
Oxford Press states that Wm. Wilson, of
Colerain, Lancaster county, met with an
accident on the 28th ult. He was engaged
in hauling out manure with a yokooi'oxen
and a horae, and while returning from tbe
field tbe reins became entangled and drew
the horse around, upon Wilson
jumped out and run to it; but just at this
moment the horse fell upon him, knocking
him down in front of tbe wheeis, one of
whicn passed over his body. Tbo oxen did
not atop, but completely stripped tbe har
ness from ‘the horso and tore it to pieces un
der their feet. Mr. Wilson’s head came
within a hair’s breadth of striking the car
tongue. He luckily escaped, however, with
a few severe bruises and;scratches. The
horse was not injured.

. A . -Fine FAnu.—Splcndid Sioci. — Our
correspondent at Conestoga Tfcfltr* Mucta
ns thfrfollowing description of* recent visit
to a first* doss form In ibat Vicinity :
We paid a visit a few days ago to tbe
farm of Mr. Jacob B. Stebman, in the north
eastern part of this townsbtp, and as Mr,
S. Is one st tbe best farmers and most care
fa 1 b:o3dersof thorongb-bred stock In Lan
caster county, we thought a few words about
bis farm and blooded stock might not be
uninteresting to your numerous readers.
While Conestoga township can boast of its
excellent farmers, who are not surpassed in
any part of the county, In their methods of
farming, nor in the crops which they raise,;
Mr. S. deservedly brs the reputation of be
lDg at tbe head of the list. His farm, con
taining 140 acres, consists of first quality
limestone land, jnst rolling enough to af
ford good hntnral drainage. A small por
tion is not tillable on account of the lime
stone lying too close to the surface and
cropplDgout at many places, hut it is not
wasteland ; it is fenced off from ibetlllable
land, and is kept dear of briers and brush*
es aud it affords the richest pasture for his
Short Horns and South Downs. A small
strenm of clear spring water flows through
the middle of tbe form, and tbe fields are
so arranged that cattle can have accau to
this brook from every one. The buildings
are sneb as all firaDol&ss farms in this sec
tion contain —large )and commodious. He
uses all tools of the latest and moat im
proved kinds, and hisfarmiDg is very thor
ough In every respect, which is also true of
nearly all tbe farmers in this seotion, many
of whom cultivate their lands as carefully
and raise as large crops as he does, bnt it
lain tbe superiority of bis livestock that
Mr. S. fur excels all his neighbors. He very
kindly showed us all his stock, and pointed
out the good points possessed by each, in
such a manner as only au intelligent and
experienced stock-breeder can do. He also
gave us tbe pedigrees of a great pare of his
stock, which he could do very readily with
out having to refer to his catulogue of pedi
grees. Their pedigrees show that some of
them are the near descendants of some of
the most noted prize cattle of England and
the United States. He keeps all Short Horn
cattle, because be thinks they are tbe most
profitable. He can sell all his calves when
three or fonr weeks old, at an average price
of $5O a bead ; or when older, at a price In
proportion to tboir age and their good
points. Prominent among h's cattle is bis
Short Horn Bun •* tJellvifie-Airdre,” whose
dam was imported. This bull is a perfect
modslin form oftbe Ado breed, and was
purchased by Mr. S. when two years old,
for $350, of A. B. Congor, a celebrated breed
er of Short Horn, Jn Rockland county, N.
Y. In January last, when fonr years old,
ho weighed 1958 pounds, and Mr. 8. esti
mates his weightatpresentHt2,loo pounds.
He is not fat, being only in ordinary condi
tion; Bright fat he would probably weigh
about 2,600. His cows are equally fine uud
proportionately large. Hehas several whose
weight be estimates at 1,600 pounds each,
while giving milk; if fat they would weigh
considerable more.
One of hisjeows bad twin calves about a
year ago, and has twins again at present.—
They wero leas than twenty-four hours old
when we saw them, and they were larger
than ordinary calves at their ago. Short
Horns in general are not considered good
milkers as some other bresds, but Mr. B.
breeds with a vlow of combining good milk
ing with 11 -ah producing qualities; and
his cows are better milkers than Short
Horns in general.
After baring tried the different breeds of
sheep, and also crosses between tbe differ
ent breeds, be bss come to tbe oodolusloq
that pure South Downs aro the most profit
able in this section, as they are valuable
for both mutton and wool. They are de
cidedly tbo most valuable mutton sheep In
tho wurld, being among sheep what abort
Horns are umoug cattle; and whilo they
do not shear quite as much wool as the
long wooled breeds—such ns Uotswolda
and Leicester*. Their wool 1b much supe
rior In quality, His stock of South Downs
is vory pure, nnd among the finest we have
ever hood. Not only hts catllo and sheep,
but all other kinds of live stock owned by
him, are of the most valuable breods. His
team Is not surpossed umong the fine
"Conestoga teams” of this section. His
Hogs are very fine puro-bred Chester
Whites. He also keeps full-blooded Terrier
Dogs and Maltese Cats. He is a firm be
liever in good stock ofall kinds, and thinks
It to be tho most profitable, un It costs no
more to keep ami feed good than poor
stock, whilo good stock will always sell for
from 50 to 190 per cent, ntoro tban poor
stock. U. 18.
Died from ms Injuries.—We are In
formed that Mr. Everhart Weaver, tho
gentleman who was found early on Sunday
morning a week, in an Insensible condition
in East Chestnut street near Plumb street,
this city, died from his injuries, Thursday
afternoon, nt his residence at Monterey,
near Now Holland. Wo hope that all the
circumstances in relation to this mysterL
and the cause of Mr. Weaver’s death ascer
tained. Some suppose that he was intoxi
cated and fell from his vehicle, others that
he was attacked by some one and struck on
the head with a “billy.” All tbe facts re
lating to tbe caso should be investigated.
The Jury empanelled to inquire into
the cause of tho death of Everhart Weaver,
after hearing the evidence of a number of
witnesses examined by Coroner Leonard,at
the office of Alderman Evans, this morn
ing, rondered the following verdict:—
“That Everhart Weaver came to his
death by a stroko in and below tho right
ear, either by a fall or other stroke un
known to the jury—said stroke causing
coagulated blood on the brain—causing
death.” The general tenor of the evidence
was that the deceased had brought Daniel
Mucklo to town iu his carriage. Thut de
ceased had become intoxicated; that
Muckle would not nccompany him home;
that he was helped into his carriage at
Marqunrt’s Saloon, on Chestnut street,
abouc 11 o’clock ; drove off alone, nnd was
found lying in an insensible condition
about 12 o’clock, in Chestnut street, be
tween Shippen and Plum. His horse and
carriage was found near Ranck’s Mill, and
he was tuken to his home near Monterey,
iu Leacock township, on Sunday, aud that
he died on Thursday last. Drs. Compton
and Bushong held the post mortem exami
nation, and elicited the fact that concus
sion of the brain had caused death. It ap
pears almost certain that Weaver’s horse,
spirited lour year old, ran away with him,
or became unmanageable, throwing him
from the carriage and causing his death.
The follo'wing gentlemen constituted the
Coroner’s Jury :—Walter G. Evans, Esq.,
Charles E. Huyes, Esq., Jacob King, Jacob
Gable, Henry Shnbcri nud Wm. Dean.
Tins Eclipse.— The eclipse, which duly
came off, Saturday evening, waa witnessed
with great interest by our citizens. Smoked
glass and favorable positions for viewing the
phenomenon were lor a time in great de
mand. The church steeples, house tops
and street corners .had their occupants all
intently watching the bright rays of the
sun as they were being partially obscured
by the dark, opaque body of the moon.
There was an appreciable diminution of
light, to the close observer,duriug the period
ol'greatest obscuration, but wedoubt whether
auy one who whs not aware of the eclipse
taking place would have been ied to notice
its presence through any durknoss it may
have occasioned—the shadow of a passing
cloud might have produced a similar effect.
During tho time of the commencement of
the eclipse the sun was hidden by floating
clouds, but at tho most interesting period
.there was a clear sky, and a most excellent
view of the obscuration was presented!
A telegram fiom Wilmington, North Car
olina, where the eclipse was total, stales
that, it was the grandest spectacle ever be
held in that city, and that “during the total
i obscuration stars shone about as brightly
I as at night, and chickens went to roost
I three-quarters of an hour earlier than usuul.
I Business was almost suspended lu tho city
so great was tho impression produced.
An Adulterous Couple Punished.—
The Phll’a Press bus a telegram slating that
“ William K. Lampbear, a stencil-cutler,
residing at 6(3 Seneca street,, Cleveland,
Ohio, suspecting undue Intimacy between
one of his employes, named George Stanley,
who boarded at his house, and Mrs. Lamp
bear went to work at an early heur the morn
ing of the 6th Inst., and returning’unex
pectedly, found Stanley and Mrs*. Lamp
near In beer together. Lampbear attacked
both with a knife, inflicted a wound in his
wife’s abdomen, which will probably prove
fatal. Stanley was wounded in the shoulder
Lampbear is under arrest.” We are in
formed that the parties to this tragedy for
merly resided in Lancaster and are well
known to many of our citizens.
A Man Drugged and Robbed.— The
Inquirer states that on last Wednesday
night a young man, evidently from the
country, was found by q policeman lust
asleep on a door step ; tho policeman, after
considerable effort, aroused him from bis
slnmber. The young man seemed lost and
could give no account of how be found his
way to the door step, further than he fell
into the bands of those whom he believed to
be good friends about nine o’clock in the
evening and who escorted him through the
city to see the sights. He discovered to his
surprise that he was minus his pocket-book,
silver patent lever watch and a few valuable
letters. He was evidently drugged and
robbed, as he appeared to be entirely un
conscious of what he was doing. We advise
yonng men from the country to be more
careful of the company they keep when they
come to the city, and hope the above event
will be a’warning.
Ac IDENT.-Mr. Jacob Weiser of this city,
while working on Tuesday at Strickler’s
bridge, a mile above Columbia foil off the
bridge a distance of twenty-five leet. Mr.
Weiser had no bones broken, but was badly
iDjured internally; the-injured man was
brought to this city.
A. W. Groff’s Preparations.— We
would direct the attention of our readers to
the advertisement of A. W. Groffln another
column. He prepares a variety of
excellent medicines, essences, perfumeries,
etc., at bis medical hall, No. 59 East King
street, this city, which he sells Wholesale
and Retail. His preparation known as
Black-Oil is said to besuperior to any other
medicine for the purpose for which ft la re
commended.
Corn Crop.— The Oxford Press says
“from some cause, the corn crop will not be
a fall one this Beason. - Many fields will
not produce half a crop, however favorable
the weather may prove between now and
ripening time. Some that was planted early
and under very favorable exjeamstanoes
now looks very poorly. The cause Is not
accounted for.”
T as Harris Dental Association.—A
stated meeting of the Harris Dental Asso
ciation was held at the offloe of Dr* D, R*
Hertz, of Ephrata, ou Thursday, tbe sth.
Inst. There was a fall attendance ofoffloers
and members, and the proceedings of the
meeting were of unpsusl interest.
Dr. L Z. Holler, of Colombia, read a
highly instructive paper upon tbe subject
of Mechanical Dentistry, and exhibited
several specimens of rubber plates, impres
sions of the jaw In Plaster ofParis, ana the
Y&rioas methods of manipulating the sev
eral kinds ot material used for casts, and as
a base for arlificiaFdentureo. These exhi
bitions proved to be very.interesting to the
members. In view of the foot that they em
braced some of tho most recent Improve
ments in that department of the profession.
An interesting and earnest dlßonsaion en
sued, in which the merits and advantages
of the points raised, were thoroughly can
vassed and compared, in which all the
members participated.
Various other topics came up for dlsous ■
sion. among which were guaefc advertise
ments. The practice of modestly advertis
ing, as a medium through whioh a practi
tioner shouldbringhis professional services
to tbe Dotice of the public, waa by no means
objected to, but high Bounding testimo
nials, and bombostlo representation of
special advantages and skill, or peouliar
methods of performing operations known
only to the advertiser; and also exhibition
of dental work ut agricultural fairs, and
other public places, by which a share of
excellence which nojone else possessed is
claimed ; without the ability to back it up
by substantial scientific attainments were
denounced in the severest terms as uot only
QDbecoming the dignity of tbe profession,
but as a fraud upon the credulity of the
people, ,
This meeting of the Harris Dental Asso
ciation was one of its beet, and the growing
interest manileeted bv its members lean
evidence that it is meeting in a satisfactory
manner the object of its organization,
namely, “A high-toned scientific status for
the profession lu the city and oounty of
Lancaster.”
Another Horse Taicen.-Ou Wednesday
Mr. Andrew McGinnis, residing in West
Orange street, this city, left bis horse stand
for a few minutes iu the yard of C. Yundt’s
“Black Horse” hotel, North Queen street.
On his return to the hotel he fouod that
some one had ridden his horse away. Im
mediate search was instituted for the
missing animal. Fortunately a broth
er of Mr. McGinnis who was working
in Fremont street, near St. Joseph’s
Catholic Church, saw the horse in the
possession of William Hinder, a boy re
siding in Strawberry street, and recognized
it as hia brother’s property. He took
possession of the horse and relumed it to
its owner. This is not the first time that
ibis boy, Hinder, has been caught with the
horses of others in his possession ; it seems
that n horse can not be left standing for a
few minutes without this mischievous or
rather criminal boy riding or driving it off'
The boy should at once be arrested and
prosecuted to the full extent of tbe law. A
warning ot this kind is the only way to pre
vent the frequent repetlflonofnuch offences*
