THE 3L.iLNCA.STEH “WEEKLY lUTEEEIGI-EIN'OEE, 'WEDISTESDA.Y, ATJG-TJST 18, 1869. Serious Railroad Disaster. A terrible accident occurred to the Buffalo and Erie train which left Harrisburg at3;ls Saturday morning? When the tra *° reached a point about nine miles north of that city, it atruok some rocks which bad fallen upon the track from an overhanging embankment, and theengino, together with baggage, express cars, and one passenger car were thrown from the track* The train being under great headway at the time, the force of the concussion was terrible. The engineer and fireman were instantly killed, and several other attaches of tho train severely injured. • The locomotive and baggage and express cars were crushed into a complete mass of rains. A portion of the debris remained on the carriage road adjoining the track, and the remainder went into the canal below. The passenger car was tbrdwn on to a wall on the other side of which was a declivity of twenty feet. Providentially the car did not go over, and was only saved by a torn up rail which had been thrown over the wall, one end being driven mto the ground whilst tho olber supported and saved tne tottering car which was full of passengers. While tho car was in this perilous position, the passengers all got outaafely, uot one beiDg injured. The loss to the Northern Central road by destruction of rolling stock is estimated at §75,000. The Harrisburg Patriot says “the.most melancholy circumstance connected with ibis nccident wa9 the death of the engineer, Mr. C. W. Stewart, of Baltimore, aud the fireman, Mr. Jacob Crisman, of Reading. These men were experienced railroaders, and their loss to the railroad company will be deeply felt. Mr. Stewart, we are in formed, was formerly master machinist at Sunbury, but subsequently removed to Baltimore, where he received the berth of engineer. He leaves a wife and child. Mr. Crisman was unmarried, but be also leaves a mourner in tbe person of a devoted mother. When tho body of Mr. Crisman was removed from the debris tho vital spark had fied. When Mr. Stewart was extricated he was yet living, but tbe injuries received defied human skill, and he died a few hours after the accident. The remains of these unfortunate men were taken to their respective homes on Saturday. How the baggage master, Mr. Hoyer, escaped with slight bruises is a mystery. The ear on which he was stationed must have been thrown from the track with con siderable force, and aside from that tbe con cussion of a fall of fifteen feet would ordi narily have been sufficient to produce death. This car almost spanned the entire road and extended some distance into the canal. It is said the baggage master was thrown into the water, which may have been the means of his salvation. Tbe escape of the express agent, Mr. Parke, was just as miraculous. A large quantity of fruit was contained in two of the express cars, mostly peaches, neariy all of which sustained some damage either from water, crushing timbers or the force of the fall. Nearly the entire morn ing men were engaged in transporting the fruit, partially saved from destruction, to Dauphin. Some of tho baggage was thrown into tho canal uud saturated completely.— Fortunately no mall bags were lost or ser iously damaged. The train iu its downward course struck some of tho telegruph wires running along the canals aud lore them from the posts. — They were soon replaced, aud the electric fluid has again free course. As soon as the fact of tho accident had been nmdo known a large force of work men repaired to the spot, utid by 1 o’clock the railroad, was agaiq iu condition to allow the passage of cars. The cars as they lay huddled togother, some of them having turned complete somersaults, the tender lying in the canal, one baggage car half way iQ the water and the other spanning the road, one express ear floating about the canal, tho engine, one nagguge aud one express car lining the pike for a considerable distance, peaches scatter od about promiscuously and rails torn from their fastenings, afforded a scene that not only impressed tho observer with the com pleteness of tho wreck, but with the un cefiaimies of liiiumu invention aud ealcu laliou. It will require several days to remove tho debris now covering the piko and interrupting travel. As soou after the accident as possible Cor oner Dorter drove to Dauphin, where the dead bodies of Stewart and Crisman were lying, and bold an inquest. The jury ren dered a verdict that ••the said Charles W. Stewart came to his death from his injuries received by the failing of a rock on the rail road track of the Schuylkill and Susque lianna Hailroad Company, iu front ot the Northern Central engine, when it throw it off’tho track, down a high stone wall, into the county road and canal; aud that they do exonerate llio Northern Central Railway Company for all the blame. And further they censure the Schuylkill and Susque hanna Railroad Company for not keeping a Watchman constantly on duty at the point where llio said Stewart was injured—said poiui being deemed dangerous in tho esti mat ion of t lie jury.” A similar veidiet was arrived at in ihe case of Crisman. Inlluuncluff Voters. We heartily commend tho following re marks from the Doylestown Democrat to the working democracy of Pennsylvania: Now is the proper time for men - who are interested in tbe wellare and success of the Democratic party to begin lo work. Our Slate has been so long subject to Radical domination, that it will require a vigorous eff n i on our part to overcome the force ot the tide. There is always avast floating vote which is cast upon tho popular side for that party which it is supposed will be suc cessful. Men like to think that they have contributed to the success of a candidate, or a party, nud naturally too, for sue cess is always more pleasant than de feat. In Pennsylvania there ure a great many men who are utterly tired uud sick ’of the Radical programme; meu who are sharp sighted euough to see that tho party in power is corrupt aud wick ed, while it is also weak and imbecile ; and men honest enough to turn from a rotten party-toono which will keep its promise and stand bv its principles. Such men ns these want’only the encouraging, kindly words of advice aud counsel to bring them into tho Ik-mocratic ranks. Then, tco, there aro thousands of Democrats, mon whose principles are sound, but who jack the euergy or the courage to maintain them cither at the ballot-box or in discus sion. Such men need to be looked after and kept entirely within the ranks. Iu ; short, there aro many classes [of men who will vote tho Democratic ticket in October next, if they are properly influenced and encouraged, but not otherwise. Now, how tmtv wo obtain these votes? Gen erally speaking, it is a tact that public po litical meetings are humbugs. Fuss and featho r s, bands and orators, persuade no one ; they are necessary, perhaps, to keep up the enthusiasm of the people, but it is well known by all who have ever investi gated the matter, that they make no votes. Now, votos are just what we need. Of what value to us is tbe enthusiasm and devoted ness of tbe people, if, nevertheless, we are beaten? Tbe main matter is to elect our candidates, nDd this can be done in butone way, viz. by tho personal efforts of the Democrats of Pennsylvania, Explain tbe principles of the party to your vucilinting neighbor; tell him who are our candidates; what is their record, personal and political; contrast tho strength of mind shown by Packer, with tho weakness manilosted by Geary; tell of Pershing’s proud record,as al most tho only member ot a corrupt Ltgisla ture.lwho was perfectly pure, a man honest and honorable above reproach. Bring all these facts before the people,fully and fairly and by this time next year we shall bo liv ing under a Democratic administration, with a majority in the Supreme Court, and under a Democratic Legislature, which will not employ quite so many “pasters and folders” us the last one saw proper to do. Try it; do not wait for political meetings. Earnings of »lie Central pacific llnllrond San Francisco.

The Treasurer of the United States to-day received another counterleit ten-dollurs greenback of the twenty-third series, letter “E," which in itsdistmetivo features varies materially from any other specimens yet presented there. The engraving is quite coarse, aud does not attempt to imitate the genuine plate at all closely. The vignette of Mr. Lincoln is a very indifferent engrav ing, aud the scroll work around the medal lion poorly imitated. It may be interesting to the business public to know that there is within a fraction of eighty-three millions of ten dollars greenbacks in circulation, of which, in respoDso to the receut circular of the Treasurer recalling it, some twenty- tiye thousand Ims already been received from New York, aud it is hoped the last issue will be shortly taken up. Of the fifty-dollur greenbacks to bo recalled under the circular referred to, there is only seventeen millious in circulation, as shown by the booksot the Treasurer’s office on the Ist inst. Horrible Tragedy Memphis, Aug. 11.—Thecilizens of Oak land, on t-he Mississippi and Tenuessee Railroud, were greatly shocked, startled aud thrown into profound gloom, on Mon day evening lust, by the murder of a young gentleman long a resident in their midst, and universally held in high esteem by an other citizen of tho place. Tho murdered man'was Mr. Derrick Barnes, son of Mr. S. C. Barnes, who resides near the town. He was aged about.twenty-six years, and a lawyer by profession. The murder was committed by Dr. Lott, a practicing phy sician oQtho town. Extensive Fire at York. York, Pa., August 10.—Three stables and two dwellings and two piles of lumber were destroyed by fire this morning; supposed loss four thousand dollars; partially inr sured.

The Lewistown Gazette publishes the names of thirty residents of that place who are over seventy years of age. One of them, a colored man. toy the name of Bichard Barnes, claims \o be one hundred and four. THE PEBILS OF THE BAIL. The Bobbers* Metznre of the Central Bnitroad Train—l be Bobbery of tbe American Express—Thrilling Details. From tbe Utlc* Observer, August IL Eight men entered the Express, Baggage and MaiL Car of the Pacific Express going east last Bight, and after an hour’s deliber ate work left the train richer by hundreds of thousands of dollars—it may be a mil lion—their booty being the gold, securities and valuables of all kinds gathered by the Express Company between Omaba and this city for transportation to New York. Utica contributed §lO,OOO to the pouches of the robbers. . _ When the Pacific Express train arrived in Utica shortly after 10 o’clock last night, on its eastward way, it was in command of Conductor Day, who was in his usual good spirits, and never more virtuously opposed to the occurrence of tbe slightest impropri ety or irregularity on his train. His faithful and trusty brakesmen were with him and prompt in the discharge of their duties.— The American Express messenger, having money packages in his charge, was a little but plucky man named Beattie. The bag gageman was a larger person, named Conk! in. The messenger and baggageman occupied the same car. Another man is said to have been in tho car, but we have not learned his name. With them and un der their charge were— First, the Express Company’s safe, con taining the money packages collected at leading points in the West, including Omaha, Chicago, &c., for transmission to the city of New York. In this safe were §lO,OOO in securities, Ac., which the night clerk of the Express office in this city placed in the hands of Beattie after the train halted in tbe Utica depot. Second, the baggage of the passengers on the train. Third, the United States mail bags, containing the through mail lor Albany and New York. The train moved outof the depot at 10:35, the men and passengers unsuspecting the impending crime. It was at Fonda that the robbers are supposed to have come upon the train. — They may have been among the passengers a long distance back, coming aboard either all together or one by one; but this is at present only conjecture. At Fonda they managed to get upon tho platforms be tween tbe exuress car and another without being observed ; at least without exciting suspicion. When tho truin began to move rapidly, one of them thrust a key into tho lock of tho door at the end ot the car which contained the troasuro they sought, and in less time than it takes to write it, eight strangers were inside the car and bad begun the work of overpowering, binding and gagging the resisting inmates. The latter struggled bard, and it is reported that Beattie the Express messenger was render ed insensible before ho was completely secured. Of course, when the men were bound tho work of pillage was easy. The key to the Express safe was taken from tho body of tbe prostrate messenger, aud tho robbers were now in possession of all the means they re quired ior securing their booty, But while they were doing this and await ing a suitable opportunity to get away with their acquisitions, a little by-play was necessary. Cue of the robbers, about tbe size of Conklin, took liis cap and person ated the baggageman at Schenectady. He put out the buggage destined for that sta tion, and received that which was to be taken on board. The light in the car was not so bright as usual, it is remembered, and he was not detected. “Is there any thing more to come out ?” was askod by the station baggagemaster, and the answer was returned uy the bogus baggageman—“Xu.” “What name?” was inquired in tbe cus tomary manner. “Conklin !” was prompt ly replied by the bogus. At this time Conkliu and bin companions were lying bound in a corner of the car, and tho con federates were aiso concealed. At West Albany tho train was “ rung up” by a puli from tho baggage car, amt the patent brakes were sot. Thu truin slop ped, and the robbers lied. It is not an unusual thing for railroad employees to “ring up” a truin at that point for the purpose of getting off' near the Central Railroad works; aud Conductor Day ordered his truin to proceed without any other suspicion entering his mind than that some railroad men hud played this trick upon him. It wus not until tho Pacific Express reached Albany, aud the messenger and baggageman were found helpless, that lbs robbery became known. Mississippi Politics—Letter of Judge l>< ut to General Grant Washington, August 15. —Tbe following is an extract from a letter written to day, by Judge Dent, of Mississippi, iu reply *to one received - from President Grunt iu the early part of the present month. President Grant, in the letter referred to gave his reasons for easting tbe weight of his inllu ence in favor of the Radical party in Mis sissippi, and it is to that part that Judge Dent replies, thus: “Is it reasonable to suppose that a peo ple,having tho free choice of their represen tatives, would elect for their rulers a class of politicians whose aggressive and hostile conduct hitherto has rendered them pecu liarly obnoxious and disagreeable ? This is the charge made by the people of Missis sippi agaiust the Radicals, or ‘bitter enders,’ as they are called. “This charge is not made because they fought against the South and secession, for many of that class fought on the side of the South. It is uot made because they are of Northern birth and education, |for many men ol Northern birth anti education and of tho Northern army are with us in antagoti ismto this obnoxious party. It is not because they are Republicans, for their antagonists were among the first in the South to organ ize on the Republican platform and to ad vocate the civil and political equality of all men, were sent us delegates to Chicago, and forAheir consistency and constancy were rewarded by you with offices of trust uud honor. “But this charge is made, as I have said before, because the proscriptive antecedents I and aggressive policy of these politicians ; towards the people of Mississippi have j made them the objects of peculiar abhor j reuce. That policy consists uot only in the j continual advocacy of proscription, but in j a time of profound peace, such revolution ary doctrines as excite and direct against j the whito mon of the South and their Jaini lies a most dangerous animosity, such ani mosity indeed which, with continuation of the same fuel, would inevitably lead to a black man’s party and a war of races. “ Neither are such doctrines preached with an honest desire to ameliorate the condition of the freedmen, or promote the ends of peace or strengthen the Republican party in the South, but solely to alienate from the planter the time-honored confi dence and affection of this race, in order that the new political element, under the banner of Republicanism,might be entirely controlled and subordinated to their own purposes of power aud aggrandizement; and to this class of meu whom you foiled iu their attempt to force upon tbe jieople of. Mississippi tbe odious constitution, rejocted at the ballot-box, you now give the bund of friendship and support, aud spurn from you that other class who, accepting the in vitation of the Republican party in good ; faith, came en masse in Virginia and Ten nessee, as they will come in Mississippi and Texas, to stand upon its pl.uiorin and advocate its principles.” .York Hiiben.H tor* Decision or the New. pus Case—Fruit JMschar^td. New York, Aug. IS.— I The case ofPratt, I the alleged Texan rioter, was before Com- j missiouer Osborne to-day. Gens. M’Dowell 1 and Ingalls previously had an interwiew I with District Attorney Pierrepont in refer- ! euco to the course to be pursued In the event of an attempt to rescue. A vastcrowd had collected inside and outside the United States court room. At noon Pratt was brought in under guard of Company B» tirst regiment of artillery. His rouns-1 arrived- shortly afterwards. The case was promptly opened, District .Attormy Pierrepont arguing for the United Slate-*, but admitting that the only evidence against the prisoner was a leb'irnmi from the Governor of Texas asking Gov r nor Hoffman to remand him to Texas.— Deputy Sheriff Crowley testified to the ar rest of Pratt. Commissioner Osborne stated he had examined the case on its merits aud there wus not sullicient evidence to hold the prisoner. Had not the Suite Court pur sued the course it had be would have so ruled before this. Both tho District Attor ney and himseit had taken the course th>-y had pursued because they deemed it rigid to maintain the laws of the United State*, and it was simply and purely because the e were no facts sullicient to bold the prison, r that he should oilier his discharge. There were loud cheers at the conclus on of the decision, and the prisoner left ti e court room in company with his friends, and tho military returned to Fort Schuyler 'I lie Ohio Gubernatorial Canvass. The Cincinnati inquirer says the prospect for carrying Ohio, and electing Mr. Pendle ton Governor, with a Democratic Legisla ture to back him, is most excellent. Two years ago Hayes was only elected by 2,000 majority, and although last October, owing to the defeat of Mr. Pendleton in the New York Convention and the then great popu larity of General Grant, the figures arose to 17,000, they can be easily overcome by a vigorous canvass. In ISG7, without having as favorable issues as they have now, and with the public mind not ns well disposed, the Democracy reduced 43,000 Republican majority to less than 3,000. That was cer tainly a much greater task than it is to cut down 17,000 to nothing, which is the work we at present have before us. A change of two hundred votes in a county, on an aver age, will do the business, and send Huj-es into retirement. The gain in old Hamilton will be counted by thousands, and will amply make up for any of the counties that may lull short. A Bank President Bans Away with .Six Hundred Thousand Dollars.

IS.—The National Super intendents Association met at Dine o'clock this morning, and after the routine of bu siness was transacted, adjourned to meet in an adjoining hall at 9a. m M to morrow. Tho American Normal School Associa tion, representing forty schools, was then constituted with prayer by Rev. J. D. King. Rev. Joseph Alden read an Essay, the theme, “ Uow shall Pupils be Taught to Teach.” He believed their work was to preparo men and women to become teachers. The first asential was to furnish these pupils with good teachers with the best talent that could bo secured. The pu pils should be practically taught ordina ry branches they would be subsequently required toteacb, such as arithmetic, geog raphy, penmanship, Ac. Practice in class instructions was invaluable to secure efficiency, lie believed tho work of train ing Christian teachers was not second to that of training Christian ministers. Prof. W. T. Phelps urged that Normal Schools ought not to give common instructions but to teach how to teach. Wm. Barringer de fended the principle that pupils sbuuld be instructed iu common brauches.

Ihe GettysbnrgKe-milon. Major General Slocum has arranged to meet the officers of his old command, the twelfth army corps, on the battle-field of Gettysburg <>n the 24ih and 25th of August. His line embraced Culp’s Hill. It is ru mored that Green’s brigade will build their line of breastworks as the most appropriate landmark of their position. Gny. Geary, who commanded a division of Slocum’s corps, will meet him on the field. Major General Wright, the old sixth corps com mander, will arrive at Gettysburg, via Washington, early in the week. Major General Newton, commander of the First Corps after Reynolds’ death, will joiD the parly and be present to establish the positions of his command during the second and third day’s buttles. Gen. Graham, whose command contested so desperately with Gen. Barksdale for the possession of Peach Orchard, and who was so severely wounded and captured on the field, has telegraphed throughout the coun try, atul received lavorable responses, that his staff and line officers will almost unani mously meet him there. Geueral Ward, whose command opened the second day’s engagement at Devil’s Den, Major Geueral Ingalls, Generals Dick inson, Tremaine and Lock, Majors Ballard and Long, of staff, will be of the party. Major General Webb, whose line formed the objective point of Longstreet’s famous enarge on the atterm on of the third day, will bo present. It is also expected that his father, J. Watson Webb, will accompany him. James Walker, Esq., historical painter, who for the past three years has been en gaged on paintings representing the repulse of Longsu eel’s charge, has accepted an in vitation from the Gettysburg Memorial As sociation to visit Gettysburg at this lime. Major General Howard will meet a party from Washington. Colonel Bacholdor, author of the isorne trical drawing of the field, and who is now writing a history of the battle, will assist in the arrangements for the occasiou. These gc-ntlemen are all desirous of meeting as many of their old comrades iu arms as can make it convenient to bo present, in order that what has been well begun may be equally well finished. Fall Trade in Dry Goods, Tho general complaint of tho wholesale merchants in tbe eastern cities is that the fail irade is late this year. On this subject the N. Y. Post remarks : ‘ 1 Railroads are annihilating distances, the telegraph annihilates time, aud the remote western or southern merchant no longer must hurry to the seacoast in June to lay in his fall aud winter stock. A great change has also come over the business customs of Southern States since the war. Ten or twelve years ago it made hardly any differ ence to the Southern merchant whether the planters had a good, bad or indifferent crop, ! so far as laying in goods was concerned. His stock must be bought, and if the planter had no cotton he had credit, with either the merchants or his own commission agent, while tbe Southern merchant also had credit here, and used it too. “ All this has since chnnged. Credit is no longer the solo life of the southern trade, aud it is therefore natural that the mer chant should require an assured prospect of sales, such as ne can only find in good crops, before he makes large purchases. Western merchants are also, in the same way, more anxious of late to cut the gar ment according to the cloth ; hence the fall trude is necessarily retarded until more is known of the prospect of the crops. “Thus far our information goes to show I that tbe Southern States will, as a whole, i be prosperous, not only in raising a good crop, but in getting very full prices for their produce. The western larmers now have every reason to expect a bountiful harvest and fair prices, particularly if they are not misled, as they were last year, into hoard ing produce for a highor market. large Fire—Scarcity of Water. The buildings of the Dessicated Codfish Company, on Sixth street and Columbia avenue, Philadelphia, were totally destroy ed by fire on Saturday morning. Loss over §50,000, insurance unknown. Owing to the long continued dry weather the Schuylkill river dwindled to a small stream and causes great scarcity of water In Philadelphia. Over two hundred canal boats stuck in the mud between Philadel phia and Norristown. It is feared if the dry spell continues much longer the sup ply oi water in the city will fail entirely. fEflfal gntdligrutt.

M.,on Thurs day, by same of the workmen on tbe Penn sylvania Railroad, lyiDg in a ditch along side of the railroad, near Musselman's Ware bonse, six miles east of this city. Tbe deceased was apparently about thirty years of age, medium size, sandy hair and beard, but no moustache, and was dressed in a whole suit of steel-mixed clothes, and had on a pair of “ Monroe” shoes. The de ceased had no hat on, but instead thereof had a handkerchief wrapped aroond his head. In the pocket ol the deceased was found a piece of paper with tbe name “Marks Kissley, (or Ripley,) 323, Twenty second street, Chicago, III,,” inscribed thereon. A photograph was also found, supposed to be one of deceased, upon tbe back of which was printed the name of tbe artists who had taken it—“ Warriner A Smith, 92 West Randolph street, 111. Also, a card of Jas. F. Ricksecker’s Furniture Store, East King street, this city ; but upon inquiry, we ascertain that Mr. Rickseeker knows nothing respecting tbe deceased.— Tbe pocket bock oi deceused was a common black leather one, and contained $4.09 cents in curreucy. It also appears that deceased was a machinist by trade, as in his posses sion were found two pair of calipers, a two foot rule, and a small steel squaro. Two pair of combs, a steel pen, aim a common wbito handled pou knife were also found in his pockets. Upon an examination by Dr. Jornpton it was a-certaloed that tbe decease was killed by having his skull crushed, most proba bly, by his head comiog In contact with a bridge while he was endeavoring to steal a ride on a freight train. An inquest was j held upon tbe body by Coroner Leonard and a verdict rendered iu accordance with the above facts. Tho body was brought to this city and taken to the Almshouse *• here it vjU be interred, if not previously ci.iimed by friends or relatives. Traces of blood were discernable for some distance from the spot where the body was found, along tbe track of the railroad from which it would seem that the body of deceased was carried a short time on the top of tho cars before it fell off in the ditch where it was found. Identified. —The man who was found (load on the Peun’a Railroad, near Bird-in- Hand, on Thursday morning last, and on whose body Coroner Leonard held an in qiuwt, hn*» Soon irfomi»io«t »n«i i>rov©H to have been a locomotive-builder, named Geo. Lamb, late of Patterson, N. J. Ilia brother, David Lamb, who resides in Jer sey City, and is an employee on tbe Now Jersey Railroad, reached this city on Friday night and claimed the body, whicli was this morning disinterred under the caro of C. Widmyer, undertaker, and placed in a metulio coffin and transported this after noon at 1:40 to his late home. It appears that deceased had been lately working in Chicago for the Chicago and Rock Island Railroad Company—had come east and stopped off at Lancaster in expectation of getting work, but was disappointed. Lie boarded at C. C. Snyder’s Hotel in East King street, and left there on Wednesday, evening about 8 o’clock, intending to go to Philadelphia, and was not afterwards seen until found dead, as heretofore stated. It is supposed that be had been standing on the platform or steps of the car at tbe time of the accident, and’was struck by a bridge or other obstruction, or else lost his hold and fell from the car. He is represented as being a single man 24 years of age—of in dustrious and temperate habits, and of good family, his faiber Andrew Lamb, being a gentleman of easy circumstances, resid ing in Brooklyn, N. Y. His brother, on Saturday, insisted on paying ail the ex penses that the county had incurred in de ceased's interment at the hospital. Daring Burglary.-Od Friday night last about 12 o’clock, the residence of Mr. Abuer Buckwalter, one half mile west of Gordou ville, this county, was the scene of a daring burglary. Three mon—one being rather large and undisguised, while tbe oti.ers were small and disguised with handker chiefs tied over their faces—entered the dwelling by breaking a pane of glass and and reaching through and around unlock ed the door. After which they went to the chamber of Mr. Buckwalter, where himself and wife were sleeping, both of whom they awakened and demanded their money.— He told them that what meoey he had was in his vest pocket, which they took, and then demanded the key of his secretary. — Mr. B. hesitating to give it was threatens ’ with death if be persisted in his refusal to give it, one of the robbers pointing a revol ver at him at the time. He finally told them where the key was, when they opened tho secretary and took therefrom §l,OOO belong ing to Mr. 8., a pocket book belonging to Mrs. B. containing a considerable amount, apd different packages of mouey belonging to the .children. They also took some silver- £ pair of boots and other articles. One of the burglars had on a shaker bonnet which he found in the bouse. Mrs. Buckwalter made an effort to get j up from the bed, when tbe large man with [ tbe revolver threatened to shoot her if she 1 dared to move aeain, and wouid kill either 1 one of them if they attempted to leave tbo 1 house before morning, saying that they ! were going to put a guard around the house 1 and intended to rob tbeir neighbor. As the | burglars went out they left tbe door stand- . ing wide open. Mr. B’s. hired man was 1 also sleeping in the house, but he heard 1 nothing of the affair until morning. i Mr. Buckwalter had been west to buy 1 cattle, and had just returned in the evening | train. Owing to tho stock being lngb in price, be did not buy as mauy as be intend ed, and brought tbe money ($1000) back with him, which he would have leit iu Lau caster, but for the banks beiug closed. This bold burglary has caused considera ble excitement in aud übout the village of Gordonville, and a stranger,a German man, giving the name of Rudolph Aunger, was arrested next morning on suspicion. He was examined, and said that lie slept all uigbt under an oak tree iwo miles east of Witmer’s Bridge on the Philadelphia turn pike. Nothing being found against him be was discharged. Attempted Suicide. —Mrs. Groff, wife of Jacob Groff a workman at one of the Cotton Mills, of this city, and who resides with Nicholas Brown, in South Prince street,near tbe Conestoga Furnace, attempt ed to commit suicide, about II o’clock, a. m., on Wednesday, by cutting her throat and both her wrists. The wound inflicted by the unhappy woman in her throat was an ugly one—severing all tho tissues into the larnyx ; all the veins of both of her wrists were also cut. It seems that the mind of Mrs. Groffhas been much affected of late by the recent death of her mother in Lehigh county, this State, and also by the allegeJ unkindness manifested toward her by a younger brother during a recent visit to that county. In the morning before inflict ing the wounds she drossed her little chil dren. three in number, and, giving them a penny each, told them to go out and buy something for themselves. Shortly afterwards Dr. Geo. A. King hap pening to pass a short distance south of her residence saw her sitting on the side of the street lifting her arms; this singular con duct attracted his attention and ou ap proaching nearer he noticed she was bleed ing most profusely. The Doctor immedi ately had her conveyed to her residence, and promptly applied the proper means to prevent further bleeding from tho ghastly wounds. It is very doubtful, however, that Mrs. Groff’s life can be saved as she now lies in a very precarions condition and continues to express no desire to recover. The Doctor states that but for bis chance passing along the street the unfortunate woman must soon have bled to death on the spot where she was found. Mrs. Groff is a German woman, aDd is about forty years of age. She expressed, Wednesday, a desire to put an end to her existence, aud said something about procuring laudanum; but as her friends did not suppose that she really intended self destruction they did not attribute sufficient importance to her remarks os the sad sequel shows. liecovering. —We are informed by Dr. King that there is now a strong probability that notwithstanding the severe character of the wounds the patient will ultimately entirely recover. The Reading Eagle states that the work men on the Pinegrove, Lebanon and Lan caster Railroad two miles of track daily, Sheriff’s Sales.—Oq the 17th Its*., Sheriff Frey sold the following properties, at the Court House, in this city: i Two and a half acres of land, with a two htory log dwelling house, a stable, &0., in Paradise township, belonging to Geo.

The Pennsylvania Germans.— The following urticle lrom tho jJohnatowH Tri bune will Du read with interest: Many of the early settlers of Pennsyl vania and Maryland were Germans, Hol landers and Swiss, who were driven by religious intolerance in their own lauds to seek new homes in free America. Wm. Penn, the Quaker, founder of Peousylvama, and George Calvert, the Catholic founder ol Maryland, having secured guaranties ol civil uud religious liberty in the charters ot their respective provinces, the shores of tho Delaware and Chesapeake naturally offered an asylum to all who preferred tol erance to intolerance in matters of religion. During the closing year of the seventeenth century uud up to the commencement of tne American Revolurion iu the succeeding oouiurj-, muiiy ihousonJa ol' Lhe people ww have mentioned crossed the oeuuu und set tled in Eastern Pennsylvania and Mary land. Some of them pushed in tho Shenan doah Valley in Virginia. Tho Rhenish provinces ol Germany seem to have fur nished a large proportion of the (Jeruiun settlers. Rhenish Bavaria (Pfalz). Wurt ernburg and Baden sent large uumbers of emigrants. Switzerland sent many thous ands. There never was a very largo emi gration of Hollanders to'Peunsylvauia, the prows of their vessels being generally di rected toward New York. In a brief time the representatives of the three nationalities became so thoroughly intermingled, by reason of religious ties, intermarriages, similarity of customs and language, aud general harmony of inter ests, that they formed one bomogenious class, by some called Pennsylvania Ger mans, and by others Pennsylvania Dutch. The Swiss ’settlers ceased entirely to be called Schweizers, or Swiss. With the perfect union thus established, and familiar intercourse with the English speaking settlers, came a new colloquial aud written language, also called Pennsyl vania German, or Pennsylvania Dutch, which is still largely spoken, but not much written,;iu some sections of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginiu, and in some por tions of the Western States to which the descendants of the Pennsylvania Germans emigrated. As a language, it must in time yield at ail points to the pure English and German longues. Few now speak it who do not also speak English. It is mainly a compound of the Bavariau and Swiss dia lects of the German language, with many English and a few Dutch (Holland) words added. It is doubtful if a Pennsylvania German could make himself understood in an}' part of Holland, Germany or Switzer land 10-dav. Interesting to Opd Fellows. —It Ims been generally supposed that ibe origin of the society of Odd Fellows, or rather the organ ization of that association, was of compara tively modern date. People will be some what surprised, however, says the Cincin nati Times, “to learn thut its origin dates as far back as Nero, and was established by the Koman soldiers ia the year 55. At that time they were called Fellow-Citizens.’ The pre-ent name was given them by Titus Omar twenty-four years afterward ; aud they were so-called from the singular char acter of their meetings, and from their knowing each other by means of mystical sigus and language. At the same time be presented .them with a dispensation, en graved on a plate of gold, bearing different emblems of mortality.! In the liftli century the Order was estab lished in the Spanish dominions, and in Portugal in the sixth century. It did not reach France and Eugluud until the eleventh century. It was then established in the latter country by John De Nillo, who, assisted by five knights Irom France, formed a Grand Lodge in Loudon. This ancient fraternity has now its lodges iu every quarter of the globe, and. by Us use fulness and beuevoleut character, coin ! mauds the respect and countenance ol all ! who are acquainted with its nature and I purpose. New' Patents.— Anthony Iske, of this city, has just received letters patent dated August lUth, lbtiO, for an Improved ltecliu ing Chair. This is calculated for the stu deut, man of business, as well as for the man of leisure and ease. An adjustable table for writing,-can be st at any augle or po sit ion most convenient, or wholly removed. The chair can be laid back aDd held at any point of inclination, and is besides so con structed as to be readily taken apart lor repairs, or transportation, and the uphol stering can be done with greater ease and consequently cheaper.than on other chairs of this character. Henry F. Breneman, assignor to self and Martin L. Greider, has also received let ters patent of the above date, for Improved Railway Car Coupling. The object ia to facilitate coupliug cars, without, a .bolt or spriDgs, by means of a vibrating hook, guard and link, protected by a shield, in such a manner thut two cars differing in height can be coupled or uncoupled with out incurring any risk, and is considered a safo and desirable* invention. Both the übovo patents were obtained through the ageucy of J. Stauffer, of this city. Fibe.- Tbe alarm of tire, Saturday eve ning last, was caused by a chimney taking Are in the Inland Insurance Company’s Banking House in Centre Square. No damage was done except that the Friend ship steamer, while crossing the bridge at Duke and Chestnut streets, on its return from the Are bad its hind spring bioken, which will throw it out of service for a short time. Roof Burned.—The roof of the dwelling bouse of Mr. David Clemson residing near the White Horse, Salisbury township, this county, was discovered to be on tire on last Saturday morning. Before the Are could be extinguished most of tbe roof was cod consumed. Tbe origin of tbe tiro is un known. There was an insurance of $5OO on the building which will cover all losses. Accident.— The Spy states that, not long since, a child of Mr. H. Wolfe, provision dealer, in Columbia, was severely injured by a fall from the arms of a small girl who was carrying it. The child was about six weeks old and suffered great pain Hfter the accident; there being every indication that its collar-bone was broken. This should bo a warning to parents not to entrust babies to small children under any circum stances. Struck by Lightning.— The house of Mr. Jacob Kineer in DrumoreCentre, Dru more twp., this county, was struck by light ning, Friday afternoon last. The lightning broke in two window sashes and shattered the bouse considerably. A member of Mr. Rineer’s family who was sitting near the window, at the time, fortunately escaped injury.

Monday Afternoon,— Court . met at 2J o’clock. The first case called was a surety of peace case, in which Catharine Myers was prosecutrix and Mollie Flick defend ant. The testimony of Mrs. Myers proved that defendant on various occasions between January last and Wbit-Monday, had not only threatened to kill her and her daugh ter, but had repeatedly struck her in tbe breast, injuring her so severely that she has not been well since. She also “thumped” witness’ daughter, Eilen Myers, on Whit Monday, swearing that she would “kill both her and her old trollopeof a mother.” These facts were lolly corroborated by the testimony of Eliza Wall, Margaret Wall, Charlotte Pate, Eilen Myers and Mrs. Drummei.

District Attorney for prosecutiqu; F. S. Pyfer for defence. John Smith and James Armstrong, two lads, aged 19 and 18 years, respectively, were indicted for the larceny of a piece of delaine from Mr. Patton’s store in Colum bia.
