In performing our duty as a journalist we endeavored in Saturday's INTELLIGENCER to give a clear and truthful statement of the lamentable disturbance in I the Second Ward, this city, by which one boy was seriously' wounded in the back, and another terribly maimed and disfigured for Ills by the discharge of a loaded musket. The facts of this sad affair were narrated to us by residents of the Second Ward, per. sons who are not politicians but who are tax-payers end lovers of order and quiet, and who have the welfare of the city at heart, and they were published by us as we received them. Moreover we know our statement to be correct, as our informants are persons of truth, some of them mem bers of the political party whoseilrinciples are advocated by the Express, but who, unlike their party organ, are not so blinded by party prejudice as to Ignore an unfor tunate occurrence simply,hecause it hap pened through a want of the enforcement of our city ordinances by Republican ufficials.

THE WATER iii l' I.V.—There Is but 61 feet of water in the new and 7 feet iu the old basin, just enough to be too low to supply the higher portions of the city with water. Ever since the it td meals came into power, our water W4 , 1'1: Its have been miser ably mis.inanaged, and general uneasiness at the scarcity of water has been experi encod by all patties.

A GRATEFUL PEOPLE.—A meeting of the Lutheran Cougregm ion in Columbia was held prior to tue departure of Mr. Sleek fir Kansas City. After the congregational ineetig, the friends of Mr. Steck waited upon him and presented him with several of the most flattering testimonials of their appreciation of his services. Among the articles were a Leant:Jul pocket book containing upwards one hundred dollars, some in specie, and a few rare pocket pieces; a gentleman's compan ion; a very fine umbrella, several presents from the children, and other substantial articles,—Spy. Tao CHERCLIES.—Sunday was rather unfavorable for the inaugural sermons of the three clergymen lately elected to take charge of some of our city - churches. It rained heavily during the morning and the high wind made it almost impossible to use umbrellas. Ad a consequence the con gregations were much smaller than they would have been had the weather been fa vorable. Still, quite a number of wet• weather Christians were present to greet their new pastors. Rev. Isaac Bevan, the first shepherd of the little flock of Baptists recently organ ized in this city, preached his initial sermon in the morning, in Temperance Hall, at present occupied as their place of meeting. The text was 2d Cor. v. 15. After a description of the character of Paul and a eulogy on his great earnestness in the Master's cause, the reverend brother at once set about elucidating the vital 1m• portance of the words or the great apostle " that they which live should not hence forth live unto themselves, but unto Mtn which died for them." The subject of Mr. Becan's evening dis course was the miraculous cure by our Saviour of the man with the withered hand, as revealed in the fah Chapter of Luke. Both sermons were well written and atten tively listened to, and with the exception of an uncharitable fling at the "superstitions of the Ithmish Courch," were delivered in appropriate phrase and good taste. Mr- Coven is lately from Scranton—looks as though he might be GO years of age—is hardly of medium height and rather stoutly built—has a good intellectual sparse ly covered with iron- grey hair—a face of leonine contour and go id color. The deep• set piercing eyes surmounted by heavy eye••brows, the firm mouth, and deep lines of the face, are physiognornical evidences of self-reliance and fixedness of purpose• Ills cheeks and chin are c iverel with a floe growth of Is sans, aim - sit snow white, in cut nit unlike the prints of General Lee. His voice and diction aro not so smooth and graceful as Bishop Bigler, nor so powerful and dramatic as Brother Nevin's, but there is in his m tuner a positiveness that is well calculated to rivet the attention of his hearers. His c ingregafioa seemed well pleasel with him, and he will doubtless endeavor to merit their good opinion by building up in our midst a fl swishing branch of the Baptist Church. The room in which the meetings aro held is large and cornforta'sle, the It sir being handsomely carpeted and this walls tastefully hung with a numb ir of appropriate scriptural mar -1 ins, printed in c slors and neatly trained. Ties worst p irt of the service was the music, These interested in the now Church should at onee organize a choir. Even sacred music sounds bad when marred by cracked nod discordant voices. Rev. 13. C. Sosiserutt, th, new l'Astor of John'a Lutheran church. preached his introductory sermon from the:text 'Gala tians, Chap. vi 14 v." 114 1 I,rhi I that I sultill glory rave in the eras of our Lord Josui Christ by whom the 5c,161 is crue.ll4,l unto the and I uoto the world. Mr. S staled that Christians were too apt t) lose sight of the Cross, that the sufferings an I love of the blessed Redeemer should ever be kept in mind. The constant con templation of the Cross cannot fail to bring al.oat great re fulls. Missionaries have thudthat by pros fhing the wonderful story of the =mini-logs of the blessed Saviour the hearts of the heathens have been touch ed and they have been awakened to a sense of their Had condition. The speaker also spoke in eloquent terms of the Apostle. Paul, and of the persecution he suffered ; of the great work he had accomplished be cause he only gloried in the " Cross of our Lord Jesus." Trio Rwerend gentleman insisted that Christianity should be made a personal matter; the mere attending Church, or be longing to Chord', was not all that is re quired of the Christian. The Christian must exhibit his love for the Saviour in Lis daily walks, must show by his works that his only glory is in the cross of our Lord Jesus. The sermon was very entertaining and instructive, and the shove brief synopsis gives a very imperfect and inadequate idea of its excellence. In person Mr. Suesserott is of medium sizs, and does not seem to be the possessor of a very robust constitution. He wears his hair long, and has a full beard—minus the moustache. His face Is a prepossessing one, and his whole manner impressed us that he is really devoted to his high calling• His voice is not high toned but is distinct and he seemed to be easily hoard in all marts of the church. His reading of the hymns was in good taste, and his prayers were eloquent and appropriate. We take Mr. Suesaerott to he about as years of age —judging from his appearance. Si. JAMES 11:elitcorAt.. CHUM: H.—Not- a withstanding the stormy condition of the elements, Sunday, there wins a very fair attendance at St. James' Episcopal Church in the morning, it being the first Sabbath service conducted by Itev. Edw. Shippen Watson as the newly elected Rector of this Parish. Mr. Watson is a gentleman above medium stature, courteous; and affable in conversation, dignified, impressive and graceful in his manner, and possesses a wale nipalulat,al voice.

The pastoral cure—never yet devolved by formal election—the real pastoral staff is cut from the cradle, and from the bed, and from the faggots on the hearth fires, It is yours, my brethren, to put it in my hands. And this altar is a stone.of help. The bread of the soul is a viaticum to nourish us for our onward journey, to strengthen us for our work and labor of love. You have noble foundations here, my brethren —noble evidences of labors shared with him, around whose grave they cluster, and who so long and faithfully ministered in this sanctuary—the brightest jewels in the mitre which the love and veneration of the whole diocese conferred. I esteem it a high, as it is a rare felicity to be encircled, in my ministration here, by these your children in reverent and seemly order; it is a delightsome thing to have our songs of praise swelled and speed ed upwards with the sound of their fresh young voices.

Let those of you who have little, give dili gently, 1. e., by methodical rule give glad ly—your part is the self-sacritice which originated them.

YSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE—A LAN CASTER COUNTY FARM ER IS MISSING AT KANSAS CITY—SUPPOSED MU RDER.—W 0 learn from the Kansas City Daily Times of the 10. h inst., that a gentleman (claiming to be from Lancaster county) unaccount ably disappeared from that city a short time since, and that said disappearance has something mysterious connected with it which deserves rigid investigation, and which has given rise to the worst surmises respecting the fate of the missing man.— The Tones says that, something over a week previous to the date above mention ed, Mr. John Page, a respectable looking gentleman of forty-five or fifty years, stopped at one of the boarding houses in Kansas city. He represented himself as being front Lancaster county, Pennsylva nia, and was a farmer. Ile was here sev eral days looking over the city and called upon a number of the real estate agents, making inquiries for a good stool farab convenient to the city. lie represented that , he had $l5 000 with which he wished to buy enough laud for two farina for his boys. A suitable place was found by the gentleman above mentioned, and Mr. Page made an appointment to go out to look at it, and paid off his bill at the hotel far that pur pose. Tula was OD last Monday ; but the weather being disagreeable, they postponed the trip until next day, and they both went back to the hotel to supper together. A while after supper Mr. Page remarked that he believed lie would walk around the city and see what was going on, and so went off. This is the last chat has been seen or heard of him at ti.is place. Whether in his rambles ho fell in with some of the des perate characters that infest our city, and was enticed away and foully dealt with, or whether he took a night train and left for other parts, is of course all conjecture. But his appearance and actions while here give the belief to the former. Ile was a plain, but very respectable and intelligent gentle , man, with nothing of the braggart or "blow hard" about hitn. lie very favor ably impressed all who met him, and con siderable interest is felt concerning his whereabouts. It is not known how much money ho had about his person, but was seen to have a roll of bills amounting to between two and three hundred dollars. We trust our conjectures in the premises may be ill-founded, but at prei.ent the affair has a mysterious appearance. SUDDEN DEATII.—TiIe Harrisburg Tele graph says ''Our entire community was startled this (Thursday) morning by the announcement of the sudden death of Ilen ry C.

We learn that at that hour his wife was awakened by herring him moan, and supposing he was dreaming she took hold of and shook him for the purpose of awakening him. In a short time she heard the sound repealed,and jumped up, lighted the gas, and again at tempted to wake him, at the same time raising his head. He opened his eyes and fell back in her arms, dead. It is sup ; posed he died of heart disease. Wednesday afternoon he attended the funeral of E. P. Lescure, and in the evening was seen and spoken to by several of our citizens. He seemed in good health and the best of spirits• Mr. S. was elected Chief Engineer about a year ago and tilled that position with great fidelity and efficiency up to the time of his decease. Had he lived he would have been unanimously reelected by the convention of firemen on Monday evening next. His numerous friends in this city and elsewhere will regret to learn of his sudden demise.

This was a necessity, but it was never an entirely satisfactory arrangement, inasmuch as either the English or the Ger man portion of the Congre4aLlun had to suffer by ir. At first, and for a long time, the former labored under a disadvantagr, that led to the organization of St. Panl'a congregation, which became entirely Eng lish. Latterly the disadvantage has been on the other side. A.ehort time ago the classis of Lancaster had the matter under consideration and took active measures looking to the organization of an entirely German congregation and the erection of a new church building for their use. A com mittee consisting of Rev. Dr. Nevin, Rev. Prof. Apple and Rev. W. T. Gerhard were appointed to take the matter In hand and to lay the action of classis - before the Ger man members. This was done on Christ mas, after divine service, and the overture was well received. Last Thursday evening there was a meeting of the Germans in the Lecture Room, the of ject of which was to decide what was to be done. After all the neccessary explanations were made and as surances given of assistance and support from the lit hurch and other churches in Classis, en organ zition was effected with great u ante ty aid cordial good will. El ders and Dracons were elected, and ar rangements made to install them to-mor row muruing at 9 o'clock ; a competent pastor to take charge of this interest will be elected in due time•. A proper christian feeling pervaded the entire meeting, which found fell c xprcsAun at the close in singing, as the German, men and womenalone can sing, the German melody Nuw Panktt, .11eGo't Ma Hertz. wall Maud und tin .den This we regard as an Interesting au I im portant movement. Theta is room for another German Church, Ref irmed, in this city awl abundance of material for a large congregation. The of jeer, we un derstand, is, to put up a church building at no di,tant day, not a small affair in an oti scuro corner, but one which will be an or nament to the city as well as au honor to the German name. Our citizens as well as members of the Reformed communion, will no doubt watch this movement among the Germans with interest and give it a cordial suppott. AL EST.STI: MAR IC ET. e1e,11.)

The Pittsburg Post re marks that in a case recently tried in the Court of Allegheny county, wherein the ettlAnlaut was charged with involuntary manslaughter, in causing the instant death of an old lady and her grandchild, by driv• ing over them with a heavy beer wagon (in which the jury failed to agree), there is am• ple food for re tl,ction. The charge of Judge Stowe in the case was an eunnenily proper one, and hnw the jury could fail to agree upon a verdict—in view of the law nod the frets—is hard to perceive. The closing paragraph of the Judge's charge to the jury so clearly defines the rights of pedestrians, and the liabilities of drivers, that it is worthy of publication. It is as follows: If a person is driving at a proper and legal rate of speed, an accident occurs which at the time the e•t.ergenry arises, he could not have avoided by the exercise of care, such as Was reasonable and ordinary under the circutnstanceit, Le is excusable by law ; but if the rate of speed is so rapid as to endanger the lives or limbs of people who are likely to he on the street, or if one drives with so loose reins as nut to be able, at the rate he is going, or in view of the known character of his team to check up, in any emergency, such :is is likely to arise in the place where he may be driving, such rood net is clearly negligent and illegal, and death occasioned by the driver, under such circumstances, is involuntary manslaugh ter. And this is so, although the person killed was negligent in putting himself in a place of danger, if proper care on the part of defendant at the Wle of the accident, would have avoided it." This rapid and reckless driving is an evil that is no longer tolerable in this commit oily. Pedestrians are constantly put in danger of being run over, and maimed or killed by drivers, who seem to fancy that they have exclusive ownership of the streets and crossings, and that foot passengers are only to be permitted to cross over by suf- ferance, and at the risk t f their lives. Let the Courts and juries make an example in some of these cases, aril the public prints wiU not have to publish the details of hor rible accidents caused upon the most public streets by negligent or half drunken driv- PRESENTATION TO PASIOR.-012 Thurs day evening, the 30th Inst., the congrega. Lion of Leacock Presbyterian Churcb, took their pastor, Dr. Timlow, and his good lady by surprise by crowding in on them with a bounteous supply of those substantials nec essary in all families. After all had as sembled • the Choir of the church, being prevent, sang, accompanied by the Me lodian, some choice pieces of Sacred Music. After the singing the young folks joined In some innocent amusements, whilst the older portion of the assemblage were seated around in groups in social conversation.— After spending some two hours all returned to their homes feeling much pleased with , their visit to the parsonage. Such occas. ions have a tendency to draw more closely those fraternal relations which should at all times exist between pastor and people. BRI EFS.—Mr. Samuel Martin, of Ephrata own ship, raised during the past sear on his tsmall farm, 50 bushels of wheat on 11 acres of grcund. The last rail:on the railroad from Coates ville to Wilmington was laid, the 24th ult., and the cars passed ov( r the road between the two places. Samuel S. Mull had his shoulder broken by the falling of a tree, on the 28th ult., near Farmeraville, West Earl town ship. An association called the "Delphic Lit erary Society," has been formed at the Green Tree. It holds its meetings every alternate Friday evening. On Thursday a fox chase took place from the residence of Martin Bickham, near Churchtown. We have not learned whether the fox was caught or not. A Republican newspaper, in this city, rejoices over the fact that seven negroes recently Toted at a municipal election held in Mount Joy borough. Samuel Shertzer, of Columbia, long known as a tide pilot between Manietta and Peach Bottom, died a few days since, in Columbia. He was about GO yeara of age. TEE new wheat crop is represented as looking well; the weather recently haring been fivorable for its growth"! Fa the Intelliseeer Masses. Enrross : We too often show a contracted grasp of ability by our business operations; for there scarc,ly can btl im agined a more unhappy incongruity than is sometimes seen between the business and the capacity. While every man and community should be seriously apprehen • sive of overstepping himself, or itself, yet there should be sufficient resolution to look to enlargement and increase. Fortune, like common lovers, may be proverbially liable to change or vicissitude; business success cannot always be safely guaranteed; and he who allows his mica] to be carried away beyond the present, to dwell upon the phantom of future great. nese • who indulges in visions of magniti • cence and power, and allows the love of money to become to) closely entwined around his heart will ba tempteS to over lap himself, or be lulle I into a fatal securi ty from which he will ultimately be aroused to find b;s success and happiness gone forever, perhaps with his dreams. But it is always better to err on toe sideof vigorous attempt at advancement, than to leave these energies become parals zed, the spirits crushed, the prospnts perish, and promising opportunities overlooked and neglected. It . the dormant powers ( f the country everywhere could b 3 actively aroused, it would add very much to our relief from the weight of taxation crushlrg us. Jo fact there is no other moans rf salva tion for us in our distressing state, con nected wi:u a wist and economi3al admin. [ration of the affairs of the country. We may present our community as an example, attic renal fir exptniii in in the right direction, and which existe in other localities. - - In this township (Eden) which is small, we have four hotels and three stores; two hotels more than needed, in the most lib eral view; and two stores less than the interests and wants or the community re quir.. Hotels detract from our wealth, and depreciate our reputation and worth, while stores increase and add to these. They concentrate trade, and therefore increase business and wealth. A just and proper competition in trade keeps trade and money at home; but where it I, not promoted by sufficient en terprise in business, much, of the trade and money will pass to other localities. Every community should exert itself to meet its own wants and increase its em ployment and business. These will add lir', wealth and intlaenc3, and attract at tention and means from other places. A COURECTION.—Messrs. Eldon, I see by the Lancaster papers a notice of a colt bought by Mr. Black, of Lancaster City, which is a mistake, which I hope you will please correct. The notice should be Mr. S. Baxter Black, of S alsbury twp.,'near White Horse village. The colt was reared by Mr. 13.11 near Chester, Orange county, N. Y.; sired by Rystlyk's Hambletonian, and his dam by Long Island Black Hawk; he is considered one of the best bred trot ting colts ever raised in Orange county; the price paid for him was $3.500. lie is as use a looking colt as any to the State; he will be two years old next April. A BAD WOUND.—A correspondEntol the Inquirer, writing from West Donegal twir, states that Michael Shank, of that township, while engaged with his sou iu killing hogs some time since was serously cut with a hatcher knife. Mr. Shank had the knife in his hand and was in the act of passing it to his son, when oneof the hoge ran against him driving the knife into his leg above the knee, striking the bone with such force as to bend the knife. lie bled an profusely that his life was for a time despaired of Mr. Shank is about 70 years of oge. ALWAYS Stern Yourt NAME.--We have received two communications one from this city signal "Jostles," and one from Salisbury twp., signed "Contributor." We refrain from publishing them as the names of the writers do not accompany them. We require the real name of every corres pondent, not f:r publication, but as a mat• ter of good faith. As soon as the writers of the above articles give us their names, we will cheerfully publish the communications referred to. Exci - riNC: Fox CuAsk.—Au exciting fox chase took place at the public house of John Hess, in Salisbury township, on Sat urday afternoon. A number of horsemen and dogs were on hand, and the chase af forded all wli3 participated in it and and all who witnessed it, much pleasure and amusement. A CCRlOtiri SPECIMEN cc A WATER Fowm—We wereshown a curious specimen of a water fowl, by our friend Dr. S. S• Weist, of Schoeneck, which he captured in this county; he ham prepared it eery care fully as he is quite a texadermist. The fowl measures Vont the breast to the tip of the tail fifteen dl5. incites ; the body is flat and measures about nix and a half inches, and in thickness about three and a half inches; the neck stands nearly erect, not like a duck or other water fowls and rather thick, and about six inches long. The bill is about two and a half inches long, and of a greyish black color, and let initiating in a sharp point. Both the upper and lower mandibles are round ing; the eye is red and duck size. The top of the head and neck and the upper portion of the body are covered with black feathers, and email white tipped ends; the throat and lower portion of the body are covered with white feathers—t. e outer edge of the 1 wings and the wing feathers are entirely black. The toil is about one and a half inches long and flat, about there inches wide, terminating to a thin white edge. The legs extend front the upper hind part of the back, above the tail, about two and a half inches long, with webbed feet,—in the order of the fowl called Grebe. The feathered appearance of the fowl is assieni [ taring to the loon, but no other portion. Can some of our ornithologists classify and explain this curious specimen? The doctor has quite a rare collection of birds, insects minerals, animals, Ire. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—The Inquirer says that Abner Armstrong,a young man resid• ing in the village of Georgetown, Bart iwp., was seriously injured on Christmas day by the:falling of his horse while he was riding him rapidly, near lhe Copper Mines. One leg was broken, and fears are entertained by his attending physicians of ssrious in ternal injuries. MLEGIISLATIVR --The Harrisburg Tele graph states that large numbers of the members of the Legislature have arrived in Harrisburg, and are quartered at the hotels. A. C. Rah:meld and Senator Billingfelt are stopping at the Lochiel House. Senator J. B. Warfel is stopping at the State Capi tal Hotel. IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.— The Philadel • Tibia Ledger says as we enter upon a new year, it is proper to look back and institi tute comparisons, that we may Pee whither we are tending. Trade in general is con ceded to be dull—unusually so—and, as compared with this date last year, prices of the leading staples are lower. The whole sale price of ruperfine flour on the 31st of December, 1869, was about $6 per barrel ; it is now quoted in this city at $4 50—a de cline of one-fourth of its price. Beet white wheat was then quoted at $2 25 per bushel ; it is now quoted in the market $1 50—a de cline of 75 cents per bushel. Rye has fallen from $1 60 to $l, corn from $1 80 to $l, and oats from 78 to 57 cents. Rye flour, corn meal, and almost the entire direct product of the soil, have experienced a very similar decline, while the indirect produce of the farm—pork, beef, lard and seeds, have gen erally held their own,and in some instances advanced. THE RICHEST NEGRO.—The- Philadel phia Press states that Stephen Smith has the reputation of being the richest colored man in Pennsylvania. Stephen :is now about sixty years of age, and is still a vig• orous and active business man. He was born at Columbia, Lancaster county, and is of mixed parentage. He was bound at an early age in his native place as an ap prentice to a lumber merchant. Marrying before he reached his majority, he was obliged to purchase his indentures. He commenced his business career by doing a small trade in lumber, which he grAdually extended as his capital became greater. At a later period be established himself as a icsither merchant in Philadelphia, besides largely investing in real estate. He also, at one time, was engaged in the coal busi ness. In personal appearance he is over six feet in height, large and well-formed, with a massive head. He has the reputa tion of being a sherwd business man and of liking a good bargain. His wealth is var iously estimated at from five to six hundred thousand dollars. rte Covntams.—Elhatzer's steam saw mill was consumed by tire last evening be tween S and 9 o'clock, destroying a large amount of property. We have no particu lars, but the fire is said to have been the work or>n incendiary. SERIOUS DISTUEMAIME—INDISCRIBLIE . ATE USE OF MIIELKSTS PLsTOLS BY BOYS—TWO BOYS BADLY WOUNDED.—It morns that the new City Authorities are permitting the City Ordinances to be vio• hued without taking any measures to in sure their faithful observance. • When the new Radical Officials, of our city, were in augurated great promises were made that the corning administration should prove a strong and vigorous one; but recent ever to demonstrate how empty were the promiste made to the people by Radical pot-house pol iticians who not f,r the dear people's sake but to fill' their own pockets were anxious to Obtain the control of our municipal af fairs. The disgraceful and unfortunate affair that occurred yesterday afternoon in the Second Ward, however fully aroused pub lic indignation an 1 we have heard from many prominent Republicans terms of the strongest condemnation used with refer wan to toe culpable negligence of the Po4ice Officer of Cis Sec cid Ward, and Mayor Atlee. The frets of this disgraceful affair are as follows. Some thirty or forty bays con• gregated bear the L icomotive works, about 4 o'clock is the afternoon, and proceeded with loaded muskets and pistols to lire out tiro ' Old Year."— Persons residing is the vicinity were greatly disturbed by the loud shouts of the boys, and the frequent dischargea of their heavily charged lire arms. The police men of the Second Ward were sought for— but as usual, they could not be found, and neither Mayor d tied nor the Mayor's Cook Alderman Fisher, nor the Captain of Polito, seemed to hear the noise, or, if they did hear it, no attention was paid to it. The boys continued to amuse themselves in the unlawful manner indicated until a load of shot accidentally discharged trout a mss• kat, in the hands of one of them, severely wounded two of their number named:l'l)os. Price and Gaorge Eloaltzsl. Price, a lad of about twelve years of age, was struck • in tie back, but was not seriously j seed. Llueltzd, aged about thirteen years, • a sort of Mr. GdO. lloeltz,l, residing In East King street, did nor, however, escape . so luckily, ono of the shot striking him in the left eye and Injuring it so severely that the ettendlng phyeician, Dr. Geo. A. King, is of the opinion that the sight of the eye Is entirely destroyed. A witness of the sad affair informs ua that the escape of some of the boys from fatal injury was miraculous as the crowd was very large and noisy, and the fire-arms were handled in a hasty and careless man ner. The conduct of the city authorities, (especially that of the policemen of the Sec ond Ward) in nut attending to their duties on this occasion is a subject of severe animadversion even among their own po litical friends. The people aro at last awakened to a sense of the incapacity of the presect city government and they say that hereafter they will not support any man for the Mayorality who constantly neglects 1319 official duties and instead of looking after I the aff lira of the city leaver them in the ; hands of deputies who are notorlousty negligent and incompetent. As APPEAL. TO THE CHARITABLE CITI ZENS OF LA' , CAI:TER.—The " Union Dorcas Society " having, during the winter many applications fur relief, and being at present very low in funds, earnestly call upon the citizens of Lancaster for assistance. We hope many will respond to this appeal, that the wants of the sick and poor amongst us may be relieved by their aid. All contri butions for this purpeso will be received by David Bair I•.-q., at the Banking house of Bain: Shenk. =LE Tau WEATHER.—Our Conestoga Centre correspondent says: Oar werther-wise prophets all predicted a long and very severe winter, but they will `probably be disappointed. The mild weather of De cember, and especially of the last two weeks, has somewhat shaken the ;raith of some, but others still insist that January and February will pay up f u•• what Decem ber is in arrears. Apropos :we saw quite a number of blue birds yesterday, hopping around on the fences and apple trees, shak ing and dressing [their feathers as though the delightful season of Spring bad already arrived ; fact, we might have been de ceived ourselves into that belief by the ap pears.nce of the blue birds, the harbingers Spring, and the clelightfullness of the weather, had we not happened to remember that it was not yet March, but the last day of December. The hue birds making their appearance at this • eason is certainly not a sign of vary Revere weather in the near future. Too \Vs: K CF PRAYER.—The Week of Prayer will be observed in this city this year as it was last. The meetings in Jan uary of last year, it will be remembered, were e,ineutly successful. The Churches were crowded- -the spirit of the Laid was present—and the heal is of 511 Evangelical cans:tans were made glad. It too precious thought that these meetings are held all over the Chi istian world at the same time. Let all Christians, who possibly can, make their arrangements to be present at every meeting of the week. All are cordially invited. The Bret meeting will be held on Monday, at 3 sf, tech, in the Presbyterian Chitral. Un Tuesday iu the Duke street. Methodist Episcopal Church. - Oa Weilues,day in !, , t...Puu'i's_ltcformed Church. The other appuintinetibi f r the week will be announced herea tor. NARROW Fiscarm.—A gentleman, while driving out Fast Orange street, yesterday afternoon, made a narrow escape from ting with a disastrous accident. A par ty of boys wereengaged in firing off a small cannon. They were about discharging it when the gentleman begged them to desist until he got by with his horse which he knew would be greatly frightened by the report of the cannon. The bo3s, however, did not wait, and tae cannon was fired. The horse sprang to one side, and com menced running ut full speed. An accident, perhaps a fatal one, was only prevented by the presence of mind of the driver who managed at length to check the wild plunges of the spirited horse. Had the horse bear driven by a lady, or by any one possessing less iffiength, a runaway would have been inevitable. We learn that the police In Philadelphia have put a atop to the intolerable nuisance of firing guns and pistols on New Year's Eve. Their example should be imitated by the Lancaster authorities. MOUNT JOY A FFAIR.S.—From the Herald L. D. Gallagher sold at the sale of Abra ham Risser, in East Donegal township, a sow and her litter of nine shoats, three months old, Bar the aggregate of VOB. The sow sold for ,!.60, and the first choice of the shoats $2l. each. Mr. S. P Beckley sold his properly on West Main street to M rs. Valentine Greiner for $lBOO. Lewis F. Weaver, of this borough, killed two hogs last week, between 10 and 11 months old, that weighed together 893 pounds. Tne election for locating the new school house, held on Wednesday afternoon, re suited as follows : Ilutzer and Eshleman lot, 81; Spickler lot, 102 ; Stehman lot 92. Thus the sptckler lot has become the tote• tion. It is located in the rear of the ,j. E Church, and fronts on Delta street, and the ward line passes nearly through Its middle. The School Board, at their meeting on Thursday evening, failed to ratify the deci sion of the tax-payers as to the location of the new school house. If they had not in tended to let the people choose among the three lots which they proposed, they should not have gone through the sham of calling an election. Mes Ellt A FFAIES.—From the Sentinel H. C. Gibble of Menheim, recently killed two hog. ' thirteen months old, one weigh ing.sl3 lbs., and the other 463 lbs. The Lutheran, Reformed and Evangelical Churches, in Manbeim, were handhomely decorated for the Christmas festival. At four of the churches Sunday School services were bed on Christmas day. At the Lutheran Mr. D. S. Bare, of Lancaster, and Messrs Worley et Orr, of this place, made appropriate addresses for the occa sion ; while at the Reformed interresting addresses were delivered by the Rev, A. B. Kremerlof Lancaster, and by the pastor, T. 0. Stem. . - At many of the schools presents were awarded to the teachers and scholars on Christmas day. The scholars of the Epis copal Sunday School were awarded with presents on Tuesday afternoon. A COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY.-A COT. respondent to the Express is desirons that a society should be instituted in Lancaster having for its object the collection and prey ervation of materials of its local history.

Mr. Gibbs looks well, and speaks in high terms of praise of the ad• vantages of soil and climate in Southeastern Kansas.

Whettwr those suspicions are well founded or eut, One gore l result has been aft:curd by their being entertained and expressed. It has stimulated the Directors to a greater degree of Watelil Illness and earl., and a strfettir scrumy of the applications presented to them, in order to protect the Comperey beteg Im posed on by unscrupulous and destgineg nice. The first fire that occurred during the effirreut year was in the FOUndly and law:tone Shop 01 Marstellar & (fall, in Sl,llerevellee, on the tught at the lld of A pen, HALO, the tire extended to the dwelling house owned by thee same parlf es, and also the dwelling house ot William Intentner, both houses were euttrelv consumed. 'Tile Fottedry and Machine Shop butrillugs n ere not very valuable', but the contents eoliststing of costly machneery, rendered the loss unusually severe. The Directors paid to Marstellar A Gall, E-5,:130, and to Wllll5lO 'trimmer, 5.150.

Another tire occurred in the dwelling house of Meyer 'louver, of Ephrata township, on the night of November :firth, by which the building wits totally destroyed. This was IL 11011 1 building, not yet occupied, and was evidently tired by some malicious miscreant, who shooed be severely punished If he could be detected and con victed. Tire appraisers assessed the loss of Mr. Hourer at 5950. The Directors gave him a warrnit on We Treasurer for 5112,50, payable un the 7111 day of February next. This not bong due has not been paid; but the report of the Treasurer herewith submitted shows that the balance in his hands, and the amount yet to collect, will be more than suffi cient to liquidate the debt.
