The Rumored Attemce Aprthurt to Assusssinnte
Prin.
The rumor of an. attempt to assassinate
Prince Arthur, which Was telegraphed over
the country on Saturday evening seems to
be without foundation. The New York
correspondence of the Philadelphia Ledger
Bays:
"After the royal party had ldft the Bre
voort House, a suspicious looking character
approached a detective who had been de
tailed to watch his movements, and pre-
Beating a revolver at his (the detective's)
head told the officer "he had better leave as
quickly as possible." The detective at once
summoned other officers to his aid, and
while these wore disarming ruffian No. 1,
seven or eight other roughs apeared on the
scene.
A- severe light then ensued, but the ruf
fians were finally captured and marched off
to the Twenty-ninth precinct station house,
where their names were registered as Pat
rick Mulhide, Charles E. Gardner, Wm.
Murphy, Joint Lough and Michael Mc-
Nulty. Lough Is a native of England,
.Gardner hails from Yonkers, Westchester
county, and Murphy and Mulhide are
Irishmen.
As deadly weapons were found on their
persons, and the men declined to explain
why they were hanging about the residence
of Mr. Stoughton, the disposition with some
persona is to come to the conclusion that
they intended to shoot the Prince.
It is proper to say that Mr. Stoughton
denies that there was any intention to as
sassinate or otherwise harm the Prince.
The story published in ono of the evening
papers, that he had to leave by the back
door, he also says is acanard. At the police
office, it is also stated, that the men under
arrest are charged with drunkenness, and
not with the attempted assassination of
anybody. So a very great mountain has
been made of a minute molehill.
The Prince and his attendanLs left for
Boston in the 3 o'clock P. M. train, having
previously called upon one or two of the
Wall street bankers, who urged him to
visit the (hold Room and the Stock Ex
change, courtesies which be declined
for lack of time.
A Four•footed
The scene is in Oakland Township, Louisa
Co. Mr. Peter Houtz, a resident of that
locality, known as a gentleman of voracity,
informs its that, for several nfouths past, an
iatibnal of singular aspect had been prowl
;Mg around the township, frightening men,
Jwomen and children, and attacking and
Wiling dogs, though, strange to say, it has
clover been known to injure or destoy stock.
It was first 'seen last August, by Mr. 11.

,Sinee that time different parties have run

and who has lived In the West several years

between a rod and a gray, nearly thesize of
a panther, and with hind legs about one
half as long as the fore legs. It has a Ids

persons not accustomed to hearing it A
grand hunt is being organized funotig the
residents of the neighborhood it infests, for

LATEST NEWS BY TELEGRApI,
From!' Washington.
Wenn:scam, Feb. B.—Amongst other
remonstrances sent to Congress against the
extonston ofCorlise' patent, is a very strong
one from Zackaalah Alien, of Rhode Island,
conclusively showing that Cornea was not
the first and original inventor of the im
provement in the steam engine, which re
sulted from the abolition of the throttle
valve, and the introduction df the system
of regulating the engine by combining the
regulator with a liberating valve-gear, as
is apparent from the specifications of the
letters patent of the United States, granted
to Allen in 1854. Further, Aden claims
that to grant the extension to Corliss,
would bestow on him for seven years
longer a reward for benefits which have
been conferred upon the world by Allen,
and because Corllastemploys the detachable
valve and valve mechanism invented and
patented by Frederick E. Sickes in the
year 1842, with which valve and merhvsißM
he has combined the regulator and thus
engrafted Allen's improvement in the
system of regulating the steam engine upon
the Sickes invention in valves and valve
gearing.
A very formidable opposition will be
made before the committee on patents to
the extension.

Harmony Grove—The Last Resting
Place of George Peabody.
SALEM, Jan. 27.—While the great philan
thropist lies in state in your City Hall,
your thoughts will naturally turn to the
resting place which awaits hint here, in the
State and town which gave hint birth, and
has so good cause to honor and remember
him. Not a mite away on the shore of the
North river, stands the beatiful grove
which has been consecrated for the ashes
of our people. It lies partly in the town of
Peabody, lately South Danvers, where the
life, since grown famous, began humbly
enough. The house in which his business
life began, in the capacity of a grocer's lad,
is still standing, with a small shop front,
and a high window is often pointed out in
the narrow attic which was his bedroom.
Sixty-live years are, when he looked out of
that window, a thick walnut growth over
spread the site of the present cemetery, and
its shades wore hunted on holidays by noisy
y
bos, but for the rest of the weelnvere left
to 'the squirrels. Hardly n trace new re
mains of the natural beauties of the acetic;
but art has come instead, and a hundred
acres have been enclosed, adorned with
shade trees and flowering shrubs, laid out
in lots and traversed with avenues. Only
a single clump of old trees remain outside
of the cemetery, on an eminence too rocky
and uneaven to be occupied. The cemetery
liesvartly in Peabody and partly in Salem.
The Peabody entrance is through a simple
rustic gate.; but the visitor from Salem
passes snider a massive arch of rubble work,
overgrown with woodbine, which rustles
drearily In the wind. Passing down the
main avenue about a hundred rods, you
come to the Peabody lot. The cemetery
slopes towards the west, and is washed at
the foot of the slope by the tide ebbing and
flowing through the North river. East
ward the ground rises, becoming very ir
regular and broken on the eastern border,
where the hillside rises abruptly to an em
inence, films which there is a wide view of
the sea and land. The Peabody lot lies on
the side of tins hill and faces southwesterly
towards the river. Along the front runs a
wall of stone ten or twelve feet high and
thirty feet long. The side walls strike the
hunk a dozen feet from the front, but the
hill is hollowed out, so that the level sur
face of the lot is about thirty feet square.
A digit of stone steps gives access to the
lot. In the centre stands a unique monu
ment of granite. The base is ten feet long,
two feet high, and four feet wide. Upon
this, near each end, stand two blocks of
granite a foot high, supporting a maesive
slab eight feet long, three feet wide and
three feet high, suggesting and thintly re
sembling a man, The base exhibits three
panels inlaid with blocks of marble, The
left panel is blank ; the other two bear
these inscriptions:
Thomas Peabody, died 1811, aged 19.

Novel Scene in the Senate Chamber—
The Negro ;Senator From Milani.
Fraternir.-
ing. With the Sable
Legthilator.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2, 1870
Revels, the Mississippi Senator, the first
representative of his rate and color chosen
to fill a seat in the uppey branch of the na- !
Donal legislature, mit& his appearance
again to-day on the floor 'of the Senate.
Revels was dressed in a black snit of fine
cloth, coat very long and clerical like, and
pants and vest of corresponding propor
tions. He worn dark gloves, also,
and carried a mulatto colored stick.
The distinguished (Jerky made quite a
sensation. The moment he came into the
Senate Chamber and took his seat on one
of the luxurious lounges, several Senators
hurried over to him, shook him warmly by
the hand and welcomed him to his new
field of labor. Charles Sumner was among
the 4rst to o ff er, in - very hearty style, smil
ing all oyer and saying a quantity of very
pretty things, lyhich the colored Seuator
heard with genuine pleasure. It-Was a
spectacle worth looking at to see Sumrier
and Revels, thus practically illustrating
the idea of political anti social equality.—
Thayer, Chandler, Howard, Cameron,War
ner, Spencer, Drake, Lewis. Howe and oth
er Senators paid their respects. Cameron had
quite a talk with, Revels. Spencer of Ala
bama, sat down with Revels, and, while
making his congratulations, took a full
survey of the ladies in the gallery, who
were looking down upon the scene, some
with pleasure and others with astonishment
and horror. Spencer, you must know, is a
great favorite with the ladies. An effort
was made to get fiery little Garret Davis to
allow himself to be led into the presence of
Revels for introduction, but the live Ken
tuckian could not see it; neither could
the facinating McCreery, colleague of
Davis, who clings to the old time pre
' mlices with true ante bellunt tenacity.
VICE ADMIRAL PORTER
A Nice Little Trip in Prospect.
\VASUINUTON, Jan. 20.—1 t is rumored
that Vice Admiral Porter intends to order
hiuytelf on a fancy cruise to the Mediterra
nean and all the points in Europe
. worth
visiting next summer. Ile is now busily
engaged in arranging the list of vessels and
in selecting the officers who are to accom
pany him, and also in devising a new uni
form for the occasion that will surpass in
gorgeousness anything over seen on the
perstme 9f United States naval officers.
Porter has a great Jitney for "bright work,"
and the changes he proposes to make in the
decoratings will send joy to the hearts of
tailors and gohldneettnannfacturers. Some
change or other is made in the navaluniform
about every six months, and officers with
small salaries do not look at the matter in
exactly the same light as the Navy Depart
ment people and the tradesmen whose pork
ow are benefited thereby.
For the Intelllgencer
Choosing a Business
" What shall I do ?" Is a question which
forces itself upon every young man of
quality and brains. And it often becomes
an embarrassing ono where it is associated
with proper reflection and earnestness. As
a choice must be made at an early age, the
intensity of the question increases with the
limited time to which the decision is con
fined. There may be danger of increasing
the perplexity unnecessarily, by indulging
the hope of fully satisfying the mind, at the
outset in the choice of a business. But hers
there should not be an over-anxiety. The
pursuit of a business creates a taste and
satisfaction as qualification and adaptation
advances. The path that is perseveringly
trod, soon becomes familiar and pleasant.
The great object then is a business. For
tune does not often condescend to snatch
any up into her happy embraces. She is to
be wooed and won by exertion and solicita
tion. And favorable opportunities do not
always full in our way in precisely the
manner and place wo imagined. They
present themselves often in the unsolicited
garb of fortuitous events ; coming or occur
ring unexpectedly, or without any visible
connection between our concern and their
facilities. Though facility and hope of
success might sometimes decide in the
choice of a business, they cannot make the
path so smooth that no obstacles at all will
be encountered in the way. Every young
man then should settle his mind to a con
test, choose whatever business he may.
Energy, tact, and moral power will be in
great emend not only on the way, but at
the very beginning. For every thing al
most depends upon giving a proper diree,
tion, and having a suitable purpose at the
very outset of business life.
And an important question hero is, what
is the object of choosing a business at all f
To . secure the means to support life ; to
attain independence; to gain a competency,
these are the several answers. Some start
with the first in view, speedily gain th e
second, and after a struggle secure the third.
And we may add that any regular business
will certainly afford a livelihood, and fur

tional Congress, of the Trotting Associa
tions of the United States, which recently
met in New York, by three delegates,

A FORMER LANCASTERIAN DEAD.—WO
learn that H. A. Ilambright formerly a
resident of Lancaster and the brother of
our friend Captain A., F. Hambright, died
OM Sunday last at New Orleans whither he
had gone for the benefit of his health; of
the immediate cause of his death we are not
informed. Mr. H. was 59 years old; he
left Lancaster 30 years ago for St. Louis,
where he has since been successful In busi
ness. He frequently visited Lancaster
where he has many friends who will regret
to hear of his death. He was an ardent
Democrat and for many years a subscriber
to the INTELLIOENCER.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—A correspondent of
the Inquirer writes to that paper that quite
a serious accident occurred in Sadsbnry
township at the barn of Mr. Levi Scarlet a
short time since. It appears that Mr.
Scarlet and his men were engaged in
threshing, and he, with a colored man nam
ed Cato, was overhead packing away some
straw when one of the timbers broke caus
ing Cato to fall to the floor the broken tim
bers falling at the same time, and striking
him on the head. He remained insensible
for some time and his head was cut in a
frightful manner. After consciousness was
restored the wound was dressed and he is
now recovering.
ACCIDENM—On the morning of the 28th
ult., as Mr. Thomas Totten, of Sadsbury
township, was riding in an open wagon,
near Walnut Grove school house, accom
panied by two gentlemen from the city, the
horse made a spring, and turning suddenly,
started down a hill at full speed throwing
the men out in a manner fnght#ul to wit
ness. Fortunately Mr. E. S. Jones, seeing
the accident, hastened to their relief; and
found two of them considerably cut about
the head and face, besides being severely
stunned. The unfortunate men were taken
back to Mr. Totten's residence. Dr. Hous
ton from Homeville was immediately , sent
for. The third gentleman was not badly
hurt. Since writing the above, we learn
they are in an improving condition.—/a•

A DEsTnucTivE FlRE—Tavern and
Storehouse Burned.—This (Monday) morn
ing at 1 o'clock the large two-story stone
tavern house and store, late of Grabill B.
Forney, deed, situated in the village of
Earlville, miles from this city, was de
stroyeti by tire. All the furniture and con
tents of the store, etc., in the building were
destroyed. Some two hundred and fifty
bushels of choice apples were burned. The
tire was discovered :by a neighbor, Mr.
Zook, who resides a quarter of a mile from
the building, at 1 o'clock, and when first
seen by him the flames were issuing from
the roof Mr. Zook immediately rang his
dinner boll to give the alarm to the neigh,
bore, but their aid came too late to accom
plish anything toward oaring the building
or its contents.
The wagon shed and barn, belonging to
the property are located twenty yards from
the house, and were only saved by the wind
blowing in a contrary direction from them ;
thus carrying the flames away from those
buildings. The fire originated in the south
west eorber of the building in the portion
occupied as a store, and some suppose it was
caused by an incendiary as that portion of
the building was most remote from public
observation. Others think the lire was ac
eidental.
The loss is estimated at $5,000, which is
partly covered by an insurance of $2 1 500
($2,000 on the building and $5OO on the fur
niture) in the Lancaster County Mutual
Fire Insurance Company. The property
was lately sold at public sale to Hiram G.
Dissinger, who has since sold it to Henry
(Iraybill, Esq.
Sem ACC( DENT.—We learn from the lift.
Joy Herald that, on Thursday afternoon,
a sad accident oeeured in that borough. A
boy named Andrew Sexton, aged about
sixteen years, and employed by J. Koer
ner in his bakery, was killed by a fall from
the third story of the steam mill iu that
place. It appears that ono of the boys who
was with him drew him up on the hoisting
ope, and not knowing how to leave him
down, left go the check rope, which pre
cipitated Sexton to the ground, killing him
almost instantly. Deputy Corbner Dysart
held :um inquest and rendered a verdict in
accordance with the above facts. The boy's
father resides in Harrisburg, whence the
body was removed for interment. The
boy who was killed, was sent with a wheel
barrow to fetch a bushel of coal, and when
passing the mill with the coal he stopped a
moment to play with the litte fellow (about
9 years old) who hoisted him up. The
proprietor of the mill often felt annoyed by
children playing around the premises, and
frequently ordered them away.
OBITUARY.—Adam Trout, a well-known
citizen,died at the County Asylum on Sun
day morning . at 5 o'clock. Mr. Trout was
proprietor of the Western Hotel, this city,
for about fifteen years. He was several
times elected to Councils, was an active
politician, and otherwise took a prominent
part in public affairs. Some two years ago
his mind became impaired, and he was
placed in the Harrisburg Asylum, where
he soon recovered sufficiently to be brought
home, but having, a relapse soon afterwards
he was placed in the Lancaster County
Asylum, where ho has since remained. A
few weeks ago his health begun to give
way, and be sunk gradually until Sunday
morning, when he died. A short time be
fore his death his reason was entirely re
stored. He will be interred, in accordance
with his request, in the family burying
ground at Paradise, on Wednesday morn
ing.
PRISON INsPEcTon.s.—The Board of
Prison Inspectors hdil their stated monthly
meeting this morning, and after six ballots,
elected Dr. A. J. Herr, Prison physician,
he receiving 4 votes, and Dr. Win. Comp
ton 2 votes.
The only other important business trans
acted by the Board was the adoption of a
resolution that hereafter those persons
committed as vagrants shall be obligcld to
break stone for paying purposes. Already
stone is being hauled from the county quar
ries to the street in front of the prison, and
in a few days the vagrants will be set to
work breziking it. Major Rohrer, the Pres
ident of the Board, was authorized to em
ploy two competent men to superintend
the vagrant workmen.
A DVERTISI:tO.—A distinguished authori
ty on the subject says that the country is
full of men who have got rich by advertis
ing. In fact, no man expects now to keep
his business running without informing
the people what he is doing and where he
can be found. The people cannot afford to
spend the time to hunt up places of business
and trade. They have been so long accus
tomed to gaining that information from
newspapers, that they depend upon that
source altogether, and govern their trade
from what they learn and read at their
homes and by their own firesides. A lively
advertisement is a friendly talk between
business men and their customers. It is a
daily invitation to come and trade, and
every day the readers of a local paper ex
pect to see and hear what the merchants,
the manufactures and the tradesmen have
to say. A local newspaper is a traveling
agent, taking his daily round to the fami
lies of all their customers. No matter
whether times are good or dull ; no matter
whether trade is brisk or otherwise, no
business man can afford to take down his
sign nor withdraw the pleasing influence
of a daily chat with his customers through
the newspaper. For a business man to
stop advertising. would be equivalent to
saving, "I have stopped business, and
ask no more favors of the people."
AN OLD Fox CAUGLIT.-0111 "P0q1100."
correspondent writes that, Thursday, the
old Opossum Hollow Fox was caught in
Salisbury township. Three men, Messrs.
Kurtz, Ainmon and Fleming, were hunt
ing and secured him. The fox is one of
the largest ever seen in that neighborhood
and is at least ten years old, and has been
hunted for by all the hunters, far and near,
all winter, but was given up as too sharp
to be caught. Some even went so far as
to say that it was impossible to catch him,
,but Mr. Kurtz's pack ran him in on Thurs
day, after a hard run, and he now wears the
bracelet and chain.
QUA RIO:VILLE ITEMS.-3fessrs. Editors:
Business is rather dull in our vicinity,
though the open winter affords labor not
usually obtained at this season of the year.
Farmers have been doing much of their
spring work. Plowing has been going on
briskly the last few weeks. There is con
siderable moving to take place the coming
spring. * * *
LOCAL LEGISLATION.—Tho following
legislation of local interest bus recently
been had in Harrisburg:
Mr. Warfel introduced an act authorizing
the borough officers of Elizabethtown to
increase their rates of taxation. Also, an
act repealing so much of existing laws as
allows turnpike companies to charge toll
for travel within the city of Lancaster. Al
so, an act to provide for the incorporation
of Life and Health Insurance Companies,
and an. act to establish an Insurance De
partment in the State of Pennsylvania.

"The last on the list of American horses
is that known under the abovis name (Gon
estoga Draught-Horse) whichWaigiven to
it from beingprodnced in the valley& Con
estoga, in Lancaster County; Pennsylvania.
It is a very large muscular horse, often
reaching to seventeen hands - and tipwards,
and closely resembling the heaviest breeds
of German and Flemish cart-horsui. The
early settlers ofthispart °Him - United States
were mostly Germans, and they either
brought over with them some of the horses
of their country or else they have since
selected from those within their reach the
animals most resembling in appearance
their old favorites when in their fatherland.
There is. however, no record of the origin
of the breed, and all that can be done is to
describe it as it now exists."

JACUII C. Ii."REILY,
Contra Isloners or I,i:le:iler County
Attest: JOIN H. HitinK, Clerk.
We, the unde%igned, Auditora of Lancaster
county, do certl • that we have carefully ex
amined the above account of Wm. Thomas,
Treasurer of the said county, and compared
his vouchers with the same. and find there is
a balance In his hands this id day of January,
1070, of thirty-one thousand, two hundred and
forty seven dollars and eighty-nix cents, (Vll,-
247 88), which amount he has turned over to the
present. Treasurer, and produced his receipt
for the same.
. -
We have also examined the account of Chris
tian Gast, Treasurer of the Poor and House of
Employment, of Lancrtstel county. unit find
balance In his hands of one hundred and
twenty-nine dollars and sixty-eight cents.
We have also examined the account of Chris
[lan Lefever, Treasurer of the Board of Prison
Inspectors, and found a balance In his favor of
five hundred and neveey atm! dollars and thir
ty cents, ($571 30).
The present Indebtedness of the County is
one hundred and filly-seven thousand, five
hundred and twenty-live dollars and thirty.
five cents, ($157,52535).
The Auditors met In the Orphans' Court
Room on Monday, the third day of Janu
ary, 1870, and entered upon their duties.—
They are pleased to state that the late
County Treasurer, William Thomas, charged
himself in 1868 with 847561, and in 1809 with
881012, Interest on money of the County loaned
out by him during his official term, thus
adding to the Treasury receipts 51,11608, and
showing an example that would have been as
creditable for his predecessors to have Initia
ted, as It will be for his successors to imitate.
The tax-payers of the County will respect and
appreciate him accordingly, an one among
many. His conduct conclusively proves that
a faithful and upright officer can as readily
make money for Mu County out of the County
money as he can for himself, a theory which
heretofore has been practically denied.
They cannot resist the conclusion that:the
County Prison is managed in an expensive
manner for the sole benefit of the Keeper,
when with proper care andeconomy, thou
sands of dollars might be happily saved. The
charges for maintenance of convicts, prisoners
on trial and vagrants are entirely too high. It
is not expected, nor is it right, that the Prison
should yield enormous profits Many one. The
officers should be duly compensated, but not
enriched by a few years service at the cost of
the people. Instead of It being a source of
great expenditure, It should be one of income
If compatible with the rights of the inmates.
Nor !Mould the emoluments be such as to ex
cite the cupidity of unscrupulous men and
make every year's election a disgusting scram
ble for its control. Faithful and competent
men can as rest lly be found as those of an
other class, and If the appointment of the
Inspectors was given to our Court, the Prison
would no longer present Itself as a mere pa
'Riad machine to be managed for private
thrift- By our Prison rules and regulations it
is directed that each convict shall be fed as
follows: One pound of rye or wheat bread
daily; one pint of coffee In the morning; half
n pound of beef made Into soup, and four pota
toes at noon ; mush I u I he evening, and half a
gallon of molasses per month, for which the
Keeper receives 23, 28 and JO cents per head
dolly, according U 3 the whole number of prix
oners at any the lime. Apr housekeeper can
make the calculation and find that 15 cents is
head, or less, offers sufficient compensation.
Not ten years ago the rations cost but 18 ors.
and those who know, do assert, that the Keep
er made several thousand dollars a year, and
there are those who now will undertake to
furnish such rations at 15 or 16 centa. At pres
ent !Wen, the Keeper must accumulate money
on his own account very rapidly, not less than
820 a day clear of all expense. From December
Ist, 1868, to November 30, 1869, inclusive, he fed
40,141 trays, at a cost of 313.217 95 to the County.
His rates being 30 cents a day for the first tour
months, Ni cents for the next never) months and
25 cenla for the last mouth; affording him an
average of 78 cents a day, or nearly twice an
much as the rations cont. At an average profit
of 14 cents he would mitt s6,6lki TPA, which,
with a salary of $7OO, his house rent tree, gar
den and other privileges, would afford a wan
pensation far in excess of what it should be,
especially as as It is direct from the pockets of
his fellow cilium., and is double the salaries
of our Judges, and 112500 more than that of the
Governor.
In connection with this we cannot avoid no
ticing the super serviceable Wattle ILI vagran ts
daily sent torison and entertained at the ex
pense of the L,ounty. They are arrested and
discharged, re-arrested and committed on the
same day, and by tome revolving or rotatory
process known to the law, are re-arrested, re
committed and discharged, "both early and
often," during the winter, making the Prison a
Universal Hotel for the accomodation of all
who, through idleness or crime, commend
themselves to some kind hearted official, who,
through love of the Fee 8111, generously sends
them back as often as they come, honestly
charging the County fifty eents for commit
ment and thirty cents tor arrest 1n each ease
As the number is legion with the hopes of no
increase, the expense Is considerable and
should be abated. The inmates of 18611 being
one-third more than that of ISM and increasing
the number of days for rations from 85.H0 to
46,141.
The Auditors suggested, last year, asamearis
of economy, and the best preventive of favor •
itlam, that the printing, bridge building, and
other important work should be given to the
lowest bidder on public notice as is common
with the best managed corporations, but that
suggestion was disregarded by our Commis
sioners who prefer to travel lu Oro old ruts.—
The printing, book and Job work are given
out without any evidence of bids having been
invited, consequently we now can realize ne
saving or reduction of price: tto with the
painting of the Court House, which was let
out at 3275 a day—the County to erect a scaf
fold. Some of the best workmen of reSponal
bility have assured the Auditors that If notice
had heed given, they would gladly have Un
dertaken it at 112.50 per day without a scaffbld
by which there would have been a saving of
from SIM to 31500. TII I / 1 1.doemed undeniable,
from the fact that the mechanic who obtained
the contract, had previously Worked at the
Poor House for 3225 a day and others had
worked there for 92 a day, and less. The work
replacing and repairing the bridges at Hun
seeker's, Eden and Point-town wsscontracted
for privately, without notice, at 116 a day for the
contractor and 116 a day for his hands, while
others as competent and responsible have
stated they could and would have undertaken
It for lee. This Is a very different, policy from
that pursued at the Poor House, where a bridge
scrum the Conestoga, 249 feet long. 13 feet wide
and feet high was built at a cost of 92,467.60
of which 11,310 were expended for stone and
masonry. It Is a model as to coat and con
struction, strength and damblilty, In contrast
with some of the bridges ballt at the County's
expense, but It was done under the inspection
of the Directors and their officers, who adver
tised for proposals, and consulted the Interests
of the tax-payera, by contracting with the
lowest and best bidders. It is therrelore reapea•
fully recommended, that in future, for ail re
pairing as building of bridges and other
Important work, proposals be invited, and
contracts made according. to the suggestions
In the Auditors' report of laat year.
They deem It also Arstportant, that when pro
posals for work on ayecificatlons are invited,
those speclitleatlons should be recorded In a
book Spee,Jal,ly appropriated for that purpose,
before the bids shall be opened or the by

quent visiting the office and returning home
two or three times a week Is certainly not
necessary. One or two days attendance In a
week would for the most part be ample. If
they would publicly announce. and make It
generally known, that they will attend their
office on the Monday and Tuesday of each week
and no other, as wee the custom In Leaner
times, the people would regulate themtelvea
accordingly. The pay and mileage of the prey
out Board for a single day is $16.40, and does
not well bear repeat bag, unless the ntibliti brie-
Mesa actually requires it. The office le note
post to be used. merely for daily pay and
mileage, and a pleasant ride to and from
Lancaster, at a cut of Q a day and ten mints a
mile.
The Auditors believe, that the several ac
counts which they are n glared to settle and
adjust should be prepared and made up to the
Slat of Decembr, inclusive of each year, and
submitted to the Commisaionera end other
Boards for examinellon, then to be filed in the
Prothonotary's Office, advertised as open for

after which to be referred to the Auditors fur
final settlement, that all Interested may have
an opportunity of examining and Ming ert

creditors may do to an administration acoount.
At present, no one sees or kilo.s anything
about either account, Until they are finally
acted on by the Auditors and published
when It la too late for exception of any kind.
In our report of last year, we ch2RO.l the

and appealed from. Nothing further her been
done, and as we do not know who beside the
Commissioners have the power to prosecute
the claim, we respectfully refer it to the atten
tion of the Court.
The Commissioner. claim, under the act of
MIL that they are entitled to mileage if at the
close of each day they go to their respective
homes and return again next day to the Com
missioner.' (Alice, in the performance of their
official duties. Theduties. Auditors are of opinion
that the law contemplates and embracer only
one charge of mileage where the pUblio duties
require the attendance of the Commissioners
for consecutive days; and under this view, to
have this question legally anti finally deter
mined, in Justice to the Commissioners on one
aide and the County on the other, and for the
guidance of future Boards of Auditors, they
charge as overpaid to—
Samuel ellokurn,one hundred and fifteen dol
lars and sixty cents.
John dtrohm,ninetyddx dollars.
J. C. Kready, seventy-one dollars.
In the account of C. H. N holey, the charge is
for constructive mileage, or, mileage not actu
ally travelled—the Commissioner remaining
lu the city of Lancaster during the meeting of
the Board, under an alleged custom claims
that he is entitled to tilt. mileage as Baetrtally
