Wliut will We Ho tvmi 11? Governor Huffman, of New York, made a speech ou Friday, at Albany, in which he said: 1 notice that most, of the Radical papers in Albany aud New York are a-king “ Whut will they do with it ? ” that is, with the victory. I urn hardly disposed to tell them quite yet. I prefer to give them a little time to digest the returns, and when these ure fully digested we propose to give them some information as to what we will do with it. In my observations I have found that knowledge suddenly acquit ed is never very profitable, but I will tell them in general terms one or two things we pro pose to do. We propose to make tho Leg islature of the State of New York honest, and that is what they have not done in some time. We propose to use the Legislature for the purpose of promoting the interest of the mass of the'people, and not the interest of the few, which the Radicals have not done in a long time. The Evening Journal has stated that for many years there have been few men in the Republican Legislatures who could be bought. Wo will show them that in the Democratic Legislature there will be none of that kind. We propose to give to the peo ple of the StateofNewYork all over the right of self government. We propose to abolish such laws as infringe upon the rights of localities, and secure to them tbo right to govern themselves. We will not abolish such laws and-give the people something worse, but will give them better laws. We propose to make the State of New York, and the government in all its branches, thoroughly Democratic. I am aware of the responsibility this vic tory imposes. lam aware of the responsi bilities it imposes on me as the Executive of this state. I realized their magnitude, und I will not say I have no fear of them; but by the help of the people and their rep resentatives, and all the good counsels I can get, I hops to so discharge its duties that the people will approve of my action;, I believe that the Legislature which is about to assemble and legislate upon tho affairs of this great State will act with such wis dom and discretion,as to show to the people of the State and country that the Democra cy of this State can be as moderate in the hour of victory as they have been patient in the hour of defeat. We will be discret and tolerant. We will recognize honest men among our adversaries, and we will deul j ustly and honorably,and promote the great interests of the people ofthe State of New York, who have demanded and worked . the change.

Tlio Catholic—letter of **ere Hyaclntlie to tbe American Branch of the Evan gelical Axaociatlou. To Rev. Leonard W. Bacon, Brooklyn 1 am proud of ray France, but I deem it one of its most solid glories to have contrib uted totheindependenceoftbis noble coun try, which it has never ceased to love, and which it shall some day learn to imitate a people with whom liberty is something else than a barren theory or a bloody practice ; with whom the cause of labor is never con founded with that of revolution, and never divorced from that of religiou ; and who, rearing under all forms and all denomina tions its houses of prayer amid.its houses of commerce and finance, crowns its noisy und productive week with the sweetness and majesty of its Lord’s day. “ And on the seventh day it ends the work which it has douo, aud rests the seventh from all its work which it has made.” I remain faith ful to my church,and if I have lifted up my protest against the excesses which dishonor it and seem beut on its ruin, yon may mea sure the intensity of my love for it by the bitterness of my Jameniution. When He who is in nil things our master and our ex ample armed Himself with the scourge of cords against the profaners of the Temple, His disciples remembered that it was writ ten: ‘the zeal of Thy househas eaten me up.’ I continue faithful to my church, but I am none the less sensible ot the interest which will betaken in other churches in what I may say nr do within the pale of Catholic ism. Furthermore, I have never denied that tho Christian communions separated from Romo were disinherited of the Holy Ghost, and without a part in the immense work of the preparation of tbe kingdom of God. Iu my relations with some of the most pious and the most learned of their members I haveexperienced in those depths of tho soul where illusion is impossible the unutterable blessing of the communion of saints. Whatever divides us externally in space and time vanishes like a dream before that which unites us within—the grace oi the same God, the blood of the same Christ, the hopes of the same eternity. What ever our prejudice, our alienations, or our Irritations, under the eye of God, who seeth what we cannot see, under His hand, which leadeth us whither we would not g<>, we are all laboring in com mon for tbo upbuilding of that Church of the future which shall be the church of the past in its original purity and beauty ; but >hali have, besides, the depth of its analy sis, the breadth of its synthesis, the experi ence of its toils, its struggles, and i ts griefs, through all these centuries. In the sad daj s of schism and captivity the word of the Lord came to the Prophet Ezekiel, saying: “Thou son of man, take thee one stick aud write upon it: ‘For Judah and for the children of Israel, his companions then take another stick and write upon it: ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and all the house of Saul, his companions, and join them one to another into one suck, and they shall become one in thy hand.”—Eze kiel xxxvii., 16-17. To melikewise, who am the least of Christiaus, in those visions of tbe soul which are never refused to our de vout aspirations, tbe Lord bath spoken. He has placed in my baud these two be loved and withered branches—Rome aud tho children of Israel who follow her; the churehesofthe Reformation and tbe nations that are with them. I have pressed them together on my heart, and under tbe out pouring of my tears and prayers I have so joined them that henceforth they might make but one tree. But men have laughed to scorn my effort, seemingly so mad, and have asked me, as of that ancient seer “ Will thou not show us what thou meanest by these things ?” \Kzekiel xxxvii., 18. j And I, looking upon that tree, that seems still barren and mutilated, even now be hold life brilliant lljwer und tho savory fruit. “L’no God, one fai ! h, one baptism.” 1 Ami there shall be one (lock and onoshep' herd." Brother Hyacinthe. Highland Falls, All Souls Day, Novem ber 2, 1S0L). A Jlnriler In Virginia —\ Mother anilSon the Victims. The Charlottesville (Va.) Chronicle ;of Sa‘.urday*says : We are called upon to chronicie one of the most cold-blooded and fiendish murders ever perpetrated in Albemarle county, the victims of which ure a mother and her son. We give below such particulars as wo can gather from parties from the neighborhood of the murder: It seems that on Monday night Mr. Henry Salmon, who lives near Stony Point, in this county, went to Mr. Herring’s (bis neighbor) to a corn shuck ing, aud returning very early yesterday morning, was surprised at seeiug the door of the house standing open. He went a short distance to a neighbor’s and with him ho proceeded to the house, and there found a sight that would make the hair of the hardest-hearted stand on end. Tnere, in the front room, lay his mother, a good old lady of about sixty years, dead in a poo! of blood, and in the aujoiuing room, lying on the bed, was his only brother, breathing his last.- The neighbors were hastily called togeth er and a consultation held, and the conclu sion arrived at was that some one, actuated by a desire lor booty, entered the house soon after the departure of Henry Salmon, and killed Luther Salmon by striking him on the bead, apparently with a hatchet, and then going into the other room met Mrs. Salmon coming in . from the wood pile, whither she had been for kindling aud kill ed her with the same instrument. The ends then ransacked the house, breaking open all the drawers and scattering things iu every direction. About twenty live dol lars in money taken from Mr. .Salmon’s pocket aud a small quantity of brandy ate all that is missed from the house so far.— The Salmons had a reputation for honesty arid integrity. They have been manufac turing a very fine article of brandy, and it is supposed that the murderer was tempted by tne supposed proceeds of this brandy to commit the rush act. No clue has as yet been ascertained as to who the assassin is, and the whole thing is involved in mys tery. Alexandria, Va., Nov. 8. —A special to the Gazette from Charlottesville says that John Henry Solomon has been arrested aud is now iu jail for the murder of bi 3 mother und brother. Tho suspicious cir cumstances are that the blood which wus on his shoe was wiped off his hand, and the preventing the arrest of the negro man last seen at the house, whom the neighborhood threatened to hang at once if caught. When his brother Luther was heard groaning and brandy was given to stimulate him John H. Solomon would not let more brandy be given, aud stood at the door to proveut the entrance of any person to the chamber. He has hitherto borne a good character. Tho preliminary trial has been postponed till Thursday. Terrible Death at JPoasbbeepsle. A fearful affair occurred in Poughkeep sie, N. Y., Thursday morning. It appears that for sometime past vagrants have been in the habit of crawling under the arches over the boiler at the lower furnace in that city to sleep all night, because of the warmth obtained there. On Wednesday night last one of the poor wretches, named Peter Ferdon, crept there. While he was sleeping the engineer opened the blow off cock, and the pipe leading Into the archway where Ferdon was asleep soon filled the place with one dense volume of steam. Ferdon, yelling with pain, crawled out as best he could, and in endeavoring to escape fell into a tub of hot water which was located under a dripping pipe. Again he crawled away, shrieking horribly and attracting help. He was sent to the almshouse, where, next morning, he died in great agony. The flesh was literally stripped from him, and parts of the palms of his hands and soles of his feet were left near the arch where the terrible affair occurred, ’Deceased was an intemperate man. BXosbjr interviewed. Tiie Philadelphia has been inter viewing the Virginia raider Mosby, who ia now in Philadelphia. He said: Having the precedent of Marion before him, befolt that if a body of bold, fearless cavalrymen conld be gathered together, an immense amonnt of annoyance could be given the Union force, at a comparatively little risk. For this purpose his troop was organized, and from the commencement acted in consort with tbe immediate com mand oTGeneral Robert E. Lee. The prin cipal object in yiew was the neutralizing of the Federal posts. “ I calculate,” said the Colonel, “ that with my average force of about.three hun dred men—and it never exceeded that—l neutralized the operations of at least fifty thousand men on the Federal side and the reason for this is plain. The Federal Gen erals were compelled to guard the whole line of the Potomac and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. I therefore had before me an unbroken line of some hundred miles in and I could set my finger upon any 'particular point, dash down upon it before my intentions were even dreamed of, ac* complish my purpose and ride away.” HIS OPINION OF GENERAL AI’OLELLAN. 4 Who do yon consider to have been the ablest General on the Federal aide? ” “General McClellan, by all odds. I think he is the only man on the Federal side tnat conld have organized the army as it wbs. I further think that he is the only military man of any brains yon bad.” OF GENERAL GRANT. ‘‘Grant had of course more successes iu the field in tbe latter part of the war, but Grant only came in to reap the benefits of McClellan’s previous efforts. At the same time I do not wish to disparage General Grant, for he has many abilities ; but if Grant had commanded during the first year of tbe war, we would have gained our independence. Grant's policy of attacking would have been a blessing to us, for we lost more by inaction than we would have lost in battle. After tbe first Manassas, the army took a sort of “ dry rot,” and wo lost more men by camp diseases than wo would have by fighting.” JEFF. DAVIS. “ What is your Individual opinion cf Jeff Davis ? ” “ I think history will record him as one of the greatest men of the tiuie. Every lost cause, you know, must have a scape goat, and Mr. Davis has been chosen as such ; he must take all tbe blame without any of the credit. I do not know any man in ihe Cou federate States that could have conducted the war with the success that he did.” SHERIDAN “ What is your opinion of Sheridan ? ” “ I don’t think he is a man of any ability at all; I never did think so, I’ll tell you why. At Winchester Sheridan bad as much cavalry as Early had men altogether. This the official rerords show. The battle was fought in a fair, open field from coon till dusk. Early, of course, was defeated, but he made a well ordered retreat with the loss of but throe guns. Now, any man of ordi nary ability ought to have captured every man that Early had with him He had it in his power, if he had followed it up, to have ended tbo war in two weeks, for Early could not have made another stand, and Lynchburg could havo been taken, und thus all of Lee’s communications with Pe tersburg would have been cut off. Now, w ; hat do you tnink ie his miserable excuse ?” said the Colonel, “ That be would havo had to detach half his army of 50,000 men to guard his communications from me, when u!I the men I had at the time was about two or three hundred. Such was his explana tion before the Committee on the Conduct of the War.” A Sinn's IXeml Cat Off aud Put on Anotb er Sian's Body— H« Recover’*, From the Annales dc la Chirurgie Etrangcre. On the 18th of April, 1868, in the prison of Villariea; (Province of Minas-Geraes), in Brazil, two uieu named Averioand Canines were executed at the same time. In Brazil executions take place with closed doors, iu the interior of ihe prison. Dr. Lorenzoy Oarmo of Rio Janeiro, well known by sa vants for his remarkable works on elec tricity applied to physiology, bis surgical skill, and his success in autoplastic opera tions, obtained permission to profit by this event in order lo experiment ou the power of electricity, and to illustrate analogy with some of tbe phenomena of life. The nu merous experiments hitherto attempted have been made ou the head and trunk separately. Dr. Lorenzoy Carmo’s design was, if possible, to unite tbe head to the neck after decapitation. The heads of thetwocriminals fell within a few minutes of Pach other into tbe same basket—first that of Citrines, then that of Aveiro. Immediately after this second execution a compression was effected by a pupil oi Dr. Lorenzoy on the carotid urter ies of one of the heads so as to stop the haemorrhage. The body was then placed ou a bed already prepared, and Dr. Loren zoy stuck tho head as exactly as possible on the section and kept it in that position. The cells of a powerful electric pile were applied to the base of the neck aud ou the breast. Under ibis influence, as iu former experiments, the respiratory movements were at once perceptible. As tbe blood which penetrated iu abuudance through tbe surface of ihe scar threatened to stop the passage of air, Dr. Lorenzoy had re course toltracheolomy. Respiration then ensued regularly. The head was fastened to the body by stitches und by u special apparatus. Tne physiologist wished to ascertain for how long a time this appear ance of life could thus bo artificially main tained. His astonishment was great when he saw that at the end of two hours not only did respirutioiistill coutinue under the in fluency of the electric current, but that circulation had even resumed a certain regularity. The pulse beat feebly but sen sibly. The experiment was continued without intermission. At the end of (32 hours it was evideut to the astonishment of every oue that a process of cicatrization had commenced on the lips of the section. A little later signs of life manifested them selves spontaneously in the head aud limbs, iill then deprived of motion. At this mo ment the director of the prison, arriving for the first time in the experiment room, ob served that by a singular mistake due to tbe baste ot tho operation, the head, ot Ca rine’a bad been taken for that of Avciro, and bad been applied to the body of the latter. The experiment wus continued notwithstanding. Three days luter the respiratory movements reproduced them selves, and electricity was suppressed. Dr. Lorenzoy Curmo and his assistants were stupefied, frightened at a result so unex pected, aud at the power of an ageDt which, in their hands, had restored life to a body whose right to exist the law had forfeited. The learned surgeon, who had only had in view a simple physiological experiment, employed all hi- skill to continue this work, which science, aided ugainst all expectation by nature, had so singularly commenced. -Ho assisted the process of cicatrization, which progressed under the most favorable conditions. By means of an cesopbagian probe liquid nourishment was introduced into the stomach. At the end of about three months the cicatrization was complete, and motion, though still difficult, became more and more extended. At length, at tho end of seven mouths und u bull', Aveiro Carines was able to rise and walk, feeling ODly a slight stiffness in tho neck, and a feebleness in the limbs. Emperor Napoleon’s Sickness. We find in the columns of a Philadelphia paper a direct confirmation of the account first published in the Tribune, nearly a month ago, of tbe real nature of the Em peror Napoleon’s sickness. A well inform ed correspondent then told us that his disease was fungus of the bladder. Now the Philadelphia Inquirer prints a letter from Mr. George Wilkes in Paris to a friend in Philadelphia, giving some particulars of a conversation with the distinguished I)r. Brown .Sequard, in the course ot which the latter directed Ms. Wilkes’ attention to certain articles which had recently appear ed in a Paris journal on the Emperor’s health. They were written, Dr. Brown- Sequard said, by a man who had cnee been physician to the Emperor—a man of great ability but dissolute habits—who had lost his stauding iu society and hisemploymeut by the Emperor, but who, nevertheless, knew the latter's constitution web. “ This man has violated ail professional obligations in these articles, aud has dis closed the secret that the Emperor is suffer ing under an incurabledisease which must soon put an end to him.” “ What do you call soon ?” I asked. “ Well, certainly within six months,” was the reply. “ And what is bis disease?” I inquired. “ Fungus of the bladder,” ho answered. Thjs is a secret worth knowing, for the stock markets of all the world will be affect ed by the death of the Emperor of France, Sequard added that “ doubtless the Em perer had been made acquainted with his fate, and was preparing for it as well as bo could.” Jefferson county, West Virginia, poll ed 272 votes at the recent election in that State. The voting population of this county, assuming that all white men over the age of twenty one have the right to vote, reaches fully 2,400. But with such rigor and vindictiveness have the Radicals pro scribed their fellow-citizens through the instrumentality of test oath*, registry laws, etc., that about nine-tenths of the voters are disfranchised. This is but a single specimen. Many other counties, and, in deed, the entire State, suffer nearly to tbe same extent. Notwithstanding all these disadvantages, the Demociats and “letup” Republicans—which means Republicans opposed to this wholesale system of pro scription—succeeded in carrying the Leg islature over their Radical opponents by a large majority. If such a thing can be done by the Conservatives when the half, or say even the oue fourth, of their strength is denied access to the polls, what will be the fate of Radicalism in that State hereafter when these restrictions shall be removed ? A Bad Funeral Atfures*. Here is a funeral speech which a Paris paper assures us was actually pronounced at Montmartre the other day by a father at the grave of his son: “Gentlemen,” said the father, in a voice full of emotion. “ the body before me was that of my eon. Ho was a young man in the prime of life, with a sound constitution which ought to have insured him a hundred years. But mis conduct, drunkenness, and debauchery of the most disgraceful kind, brought him, in the flower of age, to the ditch which yon see before you. Let this be an example to you and to your children. Let us go hence.” The skeleton of a man was found in an old mine, near Scranton, by a surveying party. It proved to be that of Martin Cain, who has been mißsing for months past. The skeleton was fonnd near an air shaft, but how it came there is a mystery. |ttfeUioeK«. Teacher*’ * Institute.. The Institute met MoDday morning at 10 o’clock in Fulton Hall, and was called to order by David Evans, CouDtyfiQperlntena ent. who named J. P. McCaakey.M Secre tary W*. C. Pinkerton and John Eshleinan, Assistant Secretaries, and Benjamin Rath, Treasurer. . , ■ , A motion was adopted making the fee of membership $l. Messrs. J. P. McCaskey,J. H, Witmer, A. B. Kreider, Annie M. Coyie, and Ellen Mulvany were appointed » com mittee to draft resolutions for the considera tion of the Committee. • ' _ A resolution was adopted,- appointing J. P. McCaskey, B. D. Danner and J. B Eshleman, a Committee-on Publication, with instructions to issue in pamphlet form, fifteen hundred copiesof the proceed ings of tbe institute, for distribution the teachers and directors ot this county, the Superintendents of other counties, and tbe various educational journals, through out the United States. Thursday at 8i o'clockA- M » w - * 3 “ xed as the time for the election of a committee on Permanent Certificates, and J. B. Mar tin, Ulrich Strickler, and J. H. Lehman, selected to conduct tbe election. The hoars for the meeting of the Institute, were fixed at 9 A. M,, 2 P. M., and 7 P.M., the morning session to close punctually at noon. Mr. Wm. C. Shuman, of Manor twp., has charge of the Music, assisted by Mr. B. C Uneeld, of Columbia, who plays tbe ac compuniments on a cabinet organ. Monday Afternoon.— The attendance at the Institute yesterday afternoon was but moderate, but in the evening the Hall was quite crowded. The afternoon session opened with stcgiDg, after which Prof. J. V. Montgomery, Superintendent of the Model School, and Professor Jerome Allen, of lowa, illustrated their manner of teaching Geography. They were followed by Mrs. AunaT. Randall, of New York, a very fiae elocutionist, who read “The Legends of Bregauz.” Prof B. G. Northrup, of Con necticut, next spoke for half an hour on the best mode of teaching children spelling. Tbe afternoon session closed with music. Last evetfiDg’s session opened by an essay on “ Practical Discipline,” by Prof. Mont gomery, who was followed by Prof. Nor thrup in a lecture on the “Culture of the Sensibilities.” The most entertaining part of the programme was Mrs. Randall’s lec ture, and her reading of “ The Creed of the Bell-,” by G. W. Bungay, and “The Return ot the Legiou.” She was Joudly applauded. The session closed with music before nine o’clock. We were iu error yesterday in stating that Mr Ruth was Treasurer and Mr. Mc- Caskey Secretary. McCaskey is the Treas urer aud Ruth Secretary. Tuesday Morning.— This morning’s ses sion was opened by singing, followed by prayer by tbe Rev. J. U. Stouffer. Mr. Charles C. Seitz read a very practical essay, in which he urged teachers to in crease their store of knowledge, and parents to aid the teachers by frequently visiting the schools, and inviting them in turn to visit their families. The sympathy of the public in behalf of the schools was also invoked. A number of teachers then discussed from their places in the Hall the manner and necessity of punishment, and school rules iu general, which was followed by a lecture by Prof. Montgomery on Elemenary Geography. The Professor dwelt at some length on the necessity of instruction in local geography, which he considered fur more useful than a knowledge of obscure islands and other distant portions of the earth. Prof. Northrop next lectared on Ele mentary Forms, which he thought ought to be taught in the primary schools. Mrs. Randall concluded the morning ses siou by a number of exercises in reading. Local Miscellany. —Tbe Lancaster City and County Horticultural Society net ted the sum of $16.90 from its recent Fruit Exhibition in this city. The Pennsylvania Fruit Growers’ Society will meet, by special appointment, in this city, iu the mouth of February next. The following dividends have recently been declared for tbe last six months: Farmers’ National Bank of Lancaster, six and. one-half per ceut. ; First National Bank of Strasburg, five per ceut. ; Bridge port and Horae shoe Turnpike Road ('■ in paoy, thirty three cents per share. Abraham Roop, proprietor of tbe Goto raro Hotel, at Andrews’ bridge, Colerain township, recently killed a calf seven weeks and two days old which weighed when dressed two hundred and eighty pounds ! Rev. E. W. H utter, D. D., formerly a re sident of this city’, aud weli known lo our citizens, preached his nineteenth anniver sary sermon as pastor of St. Matthew’s Lu theran Church, in Philadelphia, on the 10th ult. During tbe-e years he has received into the chuich 608 members, officiated at 369 funerals, and married 381 couples. Several mission schools were established, from which churches have originated. Pouitry is pretty abundant in our mar ket, where its presence is highly suggestive of Thanksgiving Day. We hope prices will be low enough to afford tbe poorest persons a feast of chicken or turkey rn the aunual festival of prayer. The Lancaster Farmer remarks that many of our Lancaster county farms are now entirely divested of their forests, many plantations not having as much asa single tree left for shade for men or beasts. A farmer lately sold the last two acres of tim ber en his farm, in West Lampeter, by the tree, ninety in number, bringing between five aud six hundred dollars. One hickory tree sold for fifty-eight dollars. Timber is tretting every year scarcer and more valua ble. Moravians will be interested to learn that tbe official statistics of the denomination, just published, show 14,871 communicants, of whom 4,895 are in Germany, 3,208 in Great Britain aud 6,767 in North America. The communicants in mission fields are Dot taken into consideration in the above figures. It is predicted, from the unusually early migration of the birds and from other signs of the animal aud vegetable world, that the ci mtng Winter will be very severe. The snow storms that havo already occurred iu tbe North and W’est would seem to confirm these predictions. Presbyterian Reunion.—The reunion of the Old and New School branches of the Presbyterian Church in the United States is now practically an accomplished fact. Tbs reunion is effected upon tbe basis ofthe Holy Scriptures and tbe original, un changed standards of doctrinal government of the Presbyterian Church. This matter of reunion has been formally submitted to the Presbyteries, and more than two- thirds of them have voted in its favor. The chief opposition has been in the Old School, but this opposition is said to be now almost en tirely withdrawn. Donegal Presbytery, the Presbytery to which the churches in thi* city and county belong, cast 20 votes in favor of reunion and 2 against. Personal.— Messrs. John McGovern and Bernard J. McGraon, who have been on a visit to New Orleans, returned to ibis city yesterday. Tbey represent their visit as a very pleasant one, and speak highly ofthe attentions paid them by the Southerners. They say that what is wanted there is cap ital to develop the resources of the country. Many fine plantations are grown up in weeds, —for the want of cultivation,—tbe owners being unable to procure labor, while the negroes, or the ‘Fifteenth Amend ment,' as they are called, spend their time io idleness or pillage. Accident.—The Mount Joy Herald says that on the 2d inst. a very serious accident happened to Mr. Jacob E. Kreybill of East Donegal township. Mr. Kreybill was driv ing iu a buggy in the vicinity of SportiDg Hill leading along a young mare. The strap by which he held the aniniul had a sharp hook at the end, which she, in pulling, drew into his band, inflicting a very utrly and dangerous wound; the point of the hook passing entirely through the hand, so that it was with difficulty that he released himself from it. Death from Burning.— A few days ago, a child about four years old, son of William Ressler, of Upper Leacock township, was so severely burned that,not withstanding med ical attention was rendered, it died in the afternoon. It seems that while none of the household were for the moment observing the actions of tbe child, it playfully ignited a paper, and in this manner conveyed the devouring element to its dress. Elected President Rev. G. F. Kro tel, formerly pastor of the Trinity Lutheran Church, of this city, has been elected Presi dent of the Third Annual Couucil of the Evangelical Lutheran Church which is now in session at Chicago, Illinois. A deserved compliment. Sudden Death.— Mrs Rowe, mother of ex Sheriff Benjamin Rowe, died suddenly of heart disease at the residence of Mr. John Winters, near Smithville, Providence twp.. whither she bad went to attend the funeral of Mrs. Anna Treager. Mrs. Rowe had been in tbe house but a few minutes when she fell dead. Her health had not been good for some months previously. Dissolution of Partnership. — Tbe partnership between E, Halderman, S. S. Haldeman and Paris Haldeman, of the Chickies Furnace, has been dissolved, and a new partnership formed by E. Haldeman, Paris Haldeman and E Bird Grubb, the latter having purchased the interest of S. S. Haldeman in the Chickies property.— The new firm, also, by an arrangement with tbe heirs of Edward B. Grubb, have obtained the control of the Eagle Furnace, which they will operate in connection with be Chickies Furnace. Horse Stolen. —A blood bay mare, with black tail, mane and legs, was stolen from George Tice, of Lebanon county, a few days ago. A reward of $35 is offered for her re covery and the conviction of the thief. Hunting Party.— On the morning of the 2d inst. the members of tbe Mount Joy band, and several others, In all number ing about fifteen persons, started oat for a day’s shooting among the hills along tbe Lebanon and Lancaster county line. Tbe band took tbeir instruments along, and varied the long ride to the bunting grounds with music. They returned in the evening well satisfied with the day’B sport. The result of their united efforts was twenty th i rabbits and several pheasants.— E aid. Mr. Benjamin Good,' of Conestoga twp., this county, has a turkey thathas laid dur ing the present year 162 eggs. She com menced laying early last Spring and has kept on laying to the present time without wanting to set. Burglart And’ K&bbkkt.— Last night about mitfoight.tbereaidenceof Mr. Henry H. Trout} living near tha Gap, was entered and robbed of a number of cloth table cov ers, chair tidies, clothing, mantle orna meats, etc. The burglars effected an en trance into tbe house by catting oat a pane of glass In a back window 1 , and then remov ing the window fasteningslwhich let them Into the]back room- Alter securing the r plunder, they. went into the cellar, brought upinto the front sitting room some pies and other eatables, together with a demijohn of “oldrye” and took their snpper. Before entering, the house, however, they had opened Mr. Trouts’ stable, and taken ont the best one of five harass—a large dark Iron grey, belonging to Mr. B. J. Leckler, who boards with Mr. Trout. This horse one of the robbers stole and rode off upon. The other was evidently well mounted, as were tracks of two horses nesr tbe premises. The stolen horse i 3 branded with the letter " P ” on eacb front hoof, and with the letters “ V. C.” nnder the maue: and both front feet are cracked down the middle of the hoof. Mr. Trout, Mr. Lechler and another gentleman whose name we did not learn,twere in the house asleep at tbe time of the burglary, each having a loaded revol ver, while the burglars were quietly dis cussing the pies and whiskey down stairs. Mr. Lechler is a member of the Piquea Horse Company, and as his horse is so well marked it is almost certain to be recovered. Supposed Horse Thief.—Constable P. S. Baker this morning arrested at Rosen feld’a Hotel, In West King street, a man givipg his name as John Mowrey, who had 1q bis possession and offered lo sell n blood bay mare, supposed to be the properly of George W. Tice, of Lebanon countv, whose loss we mentioned in the Intelligencer a few days ago. Mowrey resisted tbe offi cer and attempted to escape by breaking through the back door of the entry of the hotel. He was secured however, and after a hearing before Alderman Wiley, was, in default of bail, lodged in the county prison to await the arrival of Mr. Tice, who was at ouoe telegraphed for. Some remarks made by the prisoner showed that he wa3 aware of the $35 reward offered, and he threatened, on h:s way to jail, that if hi> friends did not hail him he would turn State’s evidence, and implicate others. Two Burglaries in Colunbia.—Tbe residence of Mr. C. J. Nourse of Columbia was entered by burglars, late last night or ea r ly this morning, and robbed of $l5O to $175, in cash, being money which .Mrs. Noursehadcollected for charitable purpos 63. Mr.Nourseheardtherobbers and wentto the head of the stairs and fired at them three shots from a revolver in the dark, when one of them fiom the outside called out “ Mr. Nourse come out. i have some of that for you out here. It is supposed there were four or five persons engaged in Ihe burgla ry. A small crowbar was left by the bur glars on the premises. The house of George G, Smith, Confec tioner on Locust street, was entered last night,through the celler. Mr. Smith was on watch at the time, but failed to catch the thief, from want of energy or presence of mind. Another Burglary.— The hotel of Brisbin Skiles, at Mount Vernon, near the Gap, was entered ou Sunday night and robbed of two overcoats, a gun, tablecloths, sheets, and other clothing including all Mr. Skiles's shirts, except the one be had on his back, Tbe thieves took the precau tion to lock Mr. Skiles and his brother in their rooms, so as to prevent pursuit iu case they had been discovered. Interesting Ceremony.— The Harris burg Telegraph states that ou Sunday morning, the 7th inst., a candidate for the priesthood, named Francis X. Bastible was ordained iu St. Patrick’s Church, iu that city. The services were conducted by Bish op Shauahan, assisted by Rev. B. Keenan, of Laucaster, Rev. A. J. McConotny, Rhv. M. F. Martin, Rev. F. P. O’Neill aud Rev. J. W. Shanahan, pf Philadelphia, Rev. James J. Russell, of Columbia, aud Rev. F. L. Neufield, of Lancaster. Father Barry, Chancellor of the church, was mas ter of ceremouiee. Tbe singing of the choir was very fine. After theordioation services Bishop Sbaqahan delivered au address to the congregation, in which he referred to his intended visit to R ime aud bade them farewell. The church was densely crowded with members of the congregation and others. Grain and Grass.— The wheat presents at this time only a tolerably favorable ap pearance. It has a very green and healthy look but is rather more backward, than other years. That which was sowed early has put forth a large number of now shoot.* from around the stalks and looks well, but that which was sowed late is not much more than out of the ground, and some Jitile is notupyet. The cold weather setting in earlier than customary is tbe cause of tht. grain being more backward than usual. The pasturage was some two weeks since entirely destroyed by the severe frosts, uud the farmers are bow engaged in feeding their stock at the barn. However, as free! is quite plenty, no inconvenience will be experienced on account of any waut of bay and fodder. Important to Magistrates. —The Sec retary of the Commonwealth, having been pestered with au extensive correspondence originating with Justices of the Peace and Aldermen, requests the peremptory state ment that no commissions will be sent 10, or made out, for the newly-elected Aider men or Justices of the Peace prior to the time at which their commissions were for merly Issued. The registry law only changed the time of election, not the terms of the officers formerly chosen at tbe spring elections. Their commissions will not be forthceming for some six mouths. About Letters.— By a recent decision of the Post Office Department “eommuni cations may be sent outside tbe mail, If enclosed in stamped envelopes (and being equal In value and amount in rates of post age to which such letters would be liable ii sent by mail), and properly sealed so that such letters cannot be taken therefrom without tearing or destroying such envel ope, and the same duly directed and ad dressed, ard the date of said letter on the envelope; and it is not required that such letters aud envelopes bo handed to the postmaster at the point of destination. It is the duty of route agents to receive letters writleu after the mail is closed, aud all way letters prepaid by stamps.” Register’s Office.— Letters of Adminis tration have been granted by tbe Register, on tbe following estates since tbe 30th ult: 1 John Quigley, dee’d, lat of Paradise township. Maria Quigiey and James S. Quigley, Administrators. The following Wills have been admitted to probate: James Mehafiy, dec’d, late of tbe borough of Marietta. Calvin D. Mehafiy, Executor. John Frozart, dec’d, late ot tbe city ot Lancaster. Anthony lake. Executor. Sophia Mylin, dec’d., laie of the city of Lancaster. W. Com.iton, M. D., Executor. Elizabeth Breckbitl, dtc’d, late of Para dise township. Christian Metz’.er and Abra• ham Metzler, Executors. Tub Dog Law.—Doubtless butfewofour readers are aware that at tbe last session of the Pennsylvania Legislature a special act was passed levying a tax of one dollar on each dog kept or owned In Lancaster coun ty ; the proceeds arising from said tax to be devoted to the support of the “Cnildren’s Home” in this city. In accordance with this law the several assessors of this city and county are required to ascertain the number and owners of all thedogsin tlie:r respective districts and assess this tax of $1 on each dog, the tax so assessed to be col lected with the State and County tax m every year. As the Assessors are about to begin their annual round, it would bo well for owners of worthless curs to dispose of them at once, and thus rid the community of a groat nui sance and save themselves uu additional dollar of tax. Columbia Items.— From the Scraldi The Columbia Fire Company are mak ing arrangements to hold a Fair during the Holidays. Tbe gas bill for the borough of Columbia, during the past year amounted to over $700.00. On Friday, the 29th ult., Corinthian Chapter No. 225 H. R. A. Masons, confer red the degrees of the Chapter on seme twenty of the fraternity, The officers of the Chapter were assisted by D. 1). G. H. P., Charles M. Howell and Companions Hugh S. Gara, Wm. A. Morton, Jacob Westhaeffer, Dr. Henry Carpenter, und others, of Lancaster. A barn belonging to Ephraim Hershey was seton fire Saturday night, tbe 30th ult., and entirely consumed. A valuable horse, harness, rockaway, hay, grain and other property contained in said barn and be longing to Christian Hershey, Sr., were also consumed. A Fair in aid of [the School under the charge of the. Franciscan Sisters, ut the Church of tbe Holy Trinity, will be held in Odd Follows’ Hall, commencing ou the 22 1 and ending on the 27th inst. Father Wil liam Pieper, pastor of tbe church, is doing all that lies in his power to make this atfair a success. Tbe school has now one hun dred and seventy-five pupils, and is con ducted in an admirable manner. Tbe object or tbe Fair is to realize sufficient funds to enable tbe pastor to erect a large and commodious school-house, the rooms at present used being inadequate to the purpose to which they are applied.

I TBOTTiNo.--.The trot on Wednesday I the Agricultural Park, between Mr. W. W. Bairs brown Johnny Trouble, of Har risburg, andrMr. Martin Quinn's sorrel Honest John, of York, for a premium of $l,OOO, was quite a spirited and well contested trial of speed, though thennmber of spectators on the ground was below tbe average. The day was pleasant and the track <(n splendid condition. Before the commencement of the trot betting was ac tive; pools selling about even, the friends of the respective horses all evincing-great confidence in their favorite. Messrs. F. W. Cooniy, Peter Cline and H. L. Barnett were appointed Judges. At 3 o’clock the horses scored for the word, the brown having the pole. Much time was consumed in getting the horses off, the driver of the brown evi deßtly trying to get the lead, and the driver of the sorrel equally determined that he should not have it. After ten false starts the word go was given for the FIRST HEAT, The brown led by about a half length at the first turn was two lengths ahead, and the sorrel breaking allowed tbe brown to open the gap to six lengths, bat the latter going up on tbe backatretch lost a length or two: the horses kept tlieir relative posi tions during the remainder of the first half mile. On the second half mile, the sorrel gradually gained on the browD, and was within two lengths of him as they swung into the homestretch, down which both horses came at a spanking pace, the soriel gradually gaining, and crossing the score less thau a half a length behind the brown, who won the heat in 2.43. Notwithstanding tbe fact that the brown won a heat, the sorrel was the favorite, in the pools at $5 to $3, as it was believed he would outlive the brown. SECOND HEAT. The second heat was almost a repetition of the first, the brown starting off with half h length lead, increasing it to four lengths on the baokstreteb, owing to the sorrel breaking. Around the upper turn the sorrel trotted finely, but could uot catch the little brown, who crossed the half mile score two lengths ahead. The second halt mile was finely trotted, the sorrel breaking but ouce and the brown not at all. In coming into the homestretch the brown was a length ahead, but on crossing the score tbe sorrel bad reduced the distance to less thau a neck, tbe brown taking the heat in 2 41, amid great excitement. Tbe backers of the sorrel now went vigorously to work to hedge on their bets, and in the pools the brown was the favorite at 8 to 5. THIRD HEAT. After two unsuccessful attempt.*, the horses got ttwuy nearly even, but the sorrel broke several times on the first quarter losing considerable distance, the brown erossiug the half mile score two lengths ahead. The second half mile was trotted much the same, the brown breaking once and tho sorrel several times, the Lrown coming in a winner of the heat aud the race by over a length, in 2.431. The winner, Johnny Trouble, is much the smaller horse and trots very gracefully, reminding oue very much of Lizzie Keller in his action. Tbe trotyesterday gave evi dence that he is entitled to his namo. Tho sorrel, Honest John, seemed to be beaten by constantly breaking on tbe first turn and thereby losing much grouud.

Time-2.13 2.44 2.43^ Surrendered.— On Thursday Dr. Hart man a bail surrendered him into the custo dy of Deputy U. S. Marshal Bain ; this has tbe effect of preventing tho authorities of Indiana from taking him to that Slate to answer charges of fraud to the extent of $30,000, la connection with tbe sale of his patent bridle there a year or two ago. Mr. Langsdale, who is here on behalf of Indi auna has placed the requisition of the Gov - ernor of that State iu the handsof constable Baker for service but that official cannot take bitn from the hands of the U. S. au thorities until their case against him is tried. On Friday an inventory was Mishler's Bitten Establishment Dy the Revenue Officers aud tbe effects were valued at $4 600. Dr. Hartman has return ed to this city accompanied by Marshal Bain. The Hartman Case.—Gov. Geary, who some days ago granted the requisition of tbe Governor of Indiana for Dr. S. B. Hartman, charged with ceitain offences in that State, on Saturday revoked his ac tion and refused to give the doctor up. much to the disgust of Mr. Langsdale anti Constable Baker, who look upou Governor Geary's action as an insult to the Governor of Indiana. Dr. Hartman on Haturday again entered bail in $5,000 before Commis sioner Reigart, with the same sureties as before, fur bis appearance in the whiskey case. New Paten r.-- Frank J. Steinhauser and Henry M. Shreiner, of this city, have received letters patent for a Railroad Car Heater and Safety Stove, dated Nov. 2, 1869. This stove is admirably adapted to prevent any accident from fire, .n case the cars are overturned, the fire will bo sud deniy and efiVctually extinguished, and that without allowing the gas or steam to enter the car, und by its adoption no such calamity could occur, as has frequently happened, by burning the unfortunate travelers to a cinder, when cars were over turned with the ordinary stoves in them for heatiug the curs. This is worthy of the s.-rious attention of Railroad Companies and tbo public generally. Obtained through the agency of J. Stauffer, of this city. The Lancaster Farmer.—The No vem l*3r number of this monthly has been re ceived. The following communications appear iu the present number : The Leaf as an Organ, by Dr. S. Welch* ans; Agricultural Improvements, by a “Working Farmer;” Ploughing Orchards, by H. B. R.; Raising Forest Trees, by L. S. Heist; Scripture, Farming and Horti culture, by J. B.

At the commencement of the next vol ume four pages will be added to each num ber, and the subscription price be ruised from $1 to $1.25 per annum. The increase in size of The Farmer is a sure indication of its prosperity. Baptism —Elder C.H. t orney, of the Lan caster Union Bethel, administered theordi nance of baptism, last week, in the Cones toga creek near tbe City Mills, to the following believers:—Mr. D K. Engle, Mrs. Melinda Wprenger, Miss Mary Hoov er and Miss Kate Killian. There were a goodly number of the congregation and other spectators to witness the ceremony, which was commenced and closed by prayer and singing. Rev. Mr. Tucker was present and took a part in tbe exercises.— There appears to be at present a much greater interest manifested by our people in regard to tbo scriptural meaning and manner of baptism, than for some years past. The Baptist meetings held in Tem perance Hall, for the past few weeks, have been fully attended, and gave promise of resulting in tbe establishment of a churcb. Rewarded at Last.— The Reading Ea gle states that '■ Jobu W. Bear, a runling Radical politician, generally known as the Buckeye Blacksmith,” was on the* Ist inst., appointed Special Agent of tbe Trea sury and stationed at Baltimore. He has got his fingers into the political flesh pots at lost, ana we hope he is satisfied now.”— Mr. Bear at one time resided in Lancaster county. Postponement of Sale —Upon refer ence to our advertising columns, it will lie seen that the Real Estate of the late John Qu'gley, E-q., deceased, has been post poned from Tuesday, Nov. 23, to Tuesday, Nov. 30th. Important to Tobacco Raisers.—We have been informed that in some parts of our county the farmers are stripping their tobacco. The only way our Pennsylvania tobacco can be kept up to its reputation is to prevent its early stripping. For tbe last two two years Penn’a. tobacco commanded high prices, it being a fine growth, but tbe mer chants suffered a loss from tbe effects of early stripping. This does not happen in the Southern States where Iho tobacco is only stripped after the main stock has be come perfectly dry. It is to the farmer’s interest, as well as the buyers, that tobacco should uot be stripped too soon. Settled.—Tbe case of Rev. \V. F. P. Noble vs. A. W. Russel and Edwin and James M. Clark, knewn as the “Flour Mill Case,” which was tried in our Court and a verdict of $15,000 rendered in favor of plaintiff, and in which a new trial was sub sequently granted, has been amicably set tled by tbe defendants paying Mr. Noble $3,500. Officers Elected.—The following per sons have been elected officers of the Man heim and Lancaster Turnpike Road Com pany for theeusuing year: President—John Stauffer. Mauagers—Ab’m. Kauffman, Samuel Patker, David Hos Letter, H. H. Landis, D. F. Hamaker. Secretary and Treasurer— H. C. Ging rich. Sunday School Anniversary.—The Layinq- of Corner Stone.— The corner' stone or the New Catholic Church at Mari o la was laid, Tbtrsday afternoon, by the Right Reverend Biahop Shanahan, of Har risburg, with most impresaiviNcenemonies An eloquent and learned discourse appro priate to the occasion, was then pronounced by the Right Reverend Bishop Becker, of Wilmington. The weather was dellghtiol —a hazy, Indian Summer day—and a large assemblage gathered to witness the cere monies. Maoy were present from Phila delphia, Harrisburg, Lancaster and the surrounding towns and villages. Among the number were the Venerable Father KeenaD, Professor Haldeman, Rev. Messrs. Barry, O’Reilly and Russell. A most pleasing and beautiful feature was the grand procession of children. The occa sion will long be remembered by all those who were present. Educational.— Wo find tho following items oflocal interest in the Penn'a. School Journal: Lancaster county is loslpg many of its best teachers every year, on account ot the business not affording them a proper sup port. None of the School Directors elected at the last (October) election can take their seats before the time fixed by law for the reorganization of Board?, viz: the first Monday of June, 1870. The Normal School at Millersville has re opened with the old corpaof Professors aud a very full attendance of students. Lost session seemed to have carried the enrol ment to its highest possible figure, but the present will do still better, A graded school hasjust been erected iu Manneim, at a cost of $12,000, which every thing considered, is not surpassed by any in the county. It is two stories in height, has bean supplied with UhliDger’s furni ture throughout, and the play ground at tached is a full acre in exleut. This, for uu enrolment of 215 pupils in ail the depart ments, would be highly creditable to towns of greater pretensions than Manheim. Superintendent Wickersham has do rounded that the County Commissioners of each county in the Stale furni -h an office nt the County Seat for the accommodation of IheCoUDty Superintendent of the Public Schools Superintendent Wickersham says that the Commissioners ‘‘have full power to do so, does not admit of a doubt, and the spirit of the statute couoerning their duly to provide rooms for other county officers would, at least, justify them, if its force is not more biudmg, in providing oue for th County Superintendent.” It Is B;iH that Calisaya Bark has a prcnllar effect upon the liver, and guard* the system sgalubt diseases by exposure aud Irregular diet. It is conceded that the gnut success of the wonderful Plantation BirrEtw, which, previous to our late unhappy difficulties, «a.s found iu most southern homes, was owiug to the extract of Calisaya Bark which it contain- ed as oue of the principal lugredlents. 1 con firmation of this we have h-urd one of cur d s tinguiMhed Pbysioiaua remark, that wheuever he ielt unwell from ordinary dietetic or at mospherl t causes, he invariably rellevod him self uy Plantation Bittews. Wo speak ad visedly when we say that we k now It to be the best and most popular modlctne in the wi rld.
