Sketch of the 13 . a . ptist Church. Laacar-
ar,
It m be regarded as a remarkable fact,
that, lot]alugh the Baptiste are more num
growl ie United States than any other
Protestant denomination, except one, they
have never yet been able to make a credit
able show of numbers in Lancaster. It is
true, that throughout our county, there are
quite a number of churches belonging to
the Seventh-Day Baptists, Free-Will Yap
atts,Winebrennerians,Mennonites, Bunk
ers, and other minor sects, who believe
that immersion alpne constitutes baptism ;
but we believe, oven at this day, there are
but three places of worship in this county
belonging to the Regular Catvanistic Bap
tists—one in Coleraine township, in the
southern part of the county, established
many years ago; another in Gordonville,
and the congregation recently organized in
this city.
In 1839 Gilbert Hills, a Connecticut
Baptist, located in Lancaster, and soon
afterwards invited Baptist ministers to visit
this city and preach. The first to respond
to this invitation, was the Rev. Mr. Kings
ford, who preached on several occasions in
the old Franklin College building on Lime
street above Orange. During 1839-40, a
number of ministers from Chester county,
Philadelphia, and elsewhere, preached to
the little unorganized congregation, first in
the Friendship Hose House, on Duko
above Chestnut street, and afterwards in
the Mechanics' Hall in South queen street
opposite the Fountain Inn Hotel.
Among those who preached wo may
mention Revs. Messrs. Gillette, Kennard,
Babcock, Dodge, Keys, Woolsey, Dean and
Higgins.
In 1841 a regular church was organized,
and supplied occasionally by Rev. Messrs.
Shadrae, Miller, Burbank, II e ndriekson
and others.
In 18-13 the Baptists purchased the little
frame meeting house on Chestnut street,
near Duke, which had been successively
occupied Icy the Lancaster Armenian
Church, the Second Adventists (or NI tiler
iterth and the Winebrennerians e rr Church
of God). The latter deuninieation having
built a new church at the corner of ()range
arid Prince streets sold the little frame to
the Baptists for 11,3011, the late Hon. Thad
deus Stevens subs gibing Poe of that
amount on condition that the building
should he ustsl as a Baptist Church, and
that the money should he role 1111 , d to him
if the said church ceased to Xi-t.
'rho first stationed pastor of the Church
was nee. r. Dick iueon , a learned and
pious man, and a good preacher. Ile was
followed by Rev. Mr. 111-00-11, a young
gentleman, who had vs idently mistaken
his calling, and whose unirality and hon
esty were faith called in question, while
connected with time Church.
Rev. Leonard Fletcher, In very pious,
eloquent and faithful minister succeeded
hint. During his pastorate the Church
nunibmil forty meinbers---the greatest
1111111ber it ever - hail in Lancaster.
Ile Was 101i.Wvti by the Rev. Henry
Essiek, an excellent preacher and a good
man, who turn succeeded by Rev.
Jess e Saxton. Tho church had, however,
dwindled in untidier, by the removal front
Lancaster about this time of several of its
members. Mr. Saxton left in 11117, and
took charge et the church in Culeraine, and
lie removed thence] to Montour county,
Where he died some ten or twelve years ago.
The Lancaster I,2lgregation being tie,
poor to support a Pastor, ilishanded,—sell
ing throb . church to the United Brethren,
and ref trading to \I r. Istevensaceording to
contract. .the amount lie hail advanced to
wards time purchase of the Church. It is
proper to state here, however, that Mr.
Stevens in his last will bequeathed
towards the estahlisliment 4,1 . a Baptist
Church in this city.
Twenty years elapsed filter the dissolu

PLANTING- LOGIIST TBEES.—The benefits
derived therefrom.—The benefits, to be
derived from planting yellow locust trees
in localities in which they thrive, can not
be too highly estimated. .Farmers owning
land In such localities should not fall to
plant in all suitable places. When planted ,
in proper places, and properly managed,
they are no injury to the crops. There are
on many farms small corners or spots
that can not be conveniently cultivated,
either from their isolation,. or in con
sequence of limestone rocks lying too.
near the surface, or cropping out at many
places. Such places could be advantage
ously planted with yellow locust trees.
Such spots can be pastured when the trees
have become so large that cattle cannot reach
their heads, or they can be pastured by
young cattle when the trees are quite small.
Such groves of locust trees furnish the very
finest pasture ; and they produce more
grass than the same kind of soil without
trees. While around and under many
other kinds of trees very little grass or any
thing else will grow, under locust trees it
will grow very luxuriantly. Locust trees
seem to impart moisure to the soil. Wo
know a field, which is pretty hilly and
rough, and which is used only for pastur
ing. A part of this hill is a locust grove,
and that part never receives any manure or
fertilizer of any kind, while the other occa
sionally receives a top dressing of manure,
and yet in this grove there is always better
pasture, and mere of it than on the same
amount of ground elsewhere in the same
field. It also seems to bo sweeter and more
succulent than the rest, as the cattle prefer
this and always leave the other almost un
touched, until this is pretty well crop
ped. The plan pursued by some far
mers (and a very good one it ts)i s to plant
along fences whose location is permanent,
especially those along highways. When
the trees aro kept properly pruned, the
crops aro in as good condition near the
trees as they aro at a distance from them ;
some plant ono tree and some two trees to
each panel of post and rail fence. The latter
wo consider the preferable method, as twice
as many trees can be grown on the same
space, and they will grow less bushy, and
consequently require less pruning.
If all our public roads were lined on each
1 side with a row of locust trees, how much
more pleasant traveling upon them, in
summer, would be than it is at pres
ent. Instead of the scorching rays of a sum
mer sun upon our heads, there would be a
cool and refreshing shade. While this
would be .(decided benefit to man and beast
having to pass along the roads, it would be
no loss to the owners of the land, but an
actual gain would be secured by the value
of oho timber the trees would produce. We
know of a place, where during the present
winter the locust trees were cut down, the
length of one field along a road, and made
into posts. The length of the field was
about 70 rods, containing about 100 panels
of post and rail fence ; there were two trees
to it panel, and they averaged about 5 posts,
heavy enough for mortising, to a tree, which
would make about 1000 mortising posts, be
sides some lighter oneT?i, can be used
for picket or board feilee. Any one know
ing the price of locust t. easily esti
mate the value of this lot. 7 iese trees were
comparatively young yet, a il might ad
vantageously have stood ma 1 they would
have mail° double the sum! rot posts they
did make.
Young locust trees should not be trans
planted too late in the spring. The idea
entertained by a few, that they will be more
certain to grow when transplanted after the
leaves have started is a mistaken one. Very
seldom more than about one-half of the
young trees that have sprouted up from the
roots of other trees, will grow, when trans
planted, but those raised from seed seldom
tail to grow. They-can bo procured at the
nurseries at $lO per hundred, or they can
lie raised by any ono who will go to the
trouble to do so. After being transplanted
they should every year have a few of the
lower branches removed, until they have
reached a proper height—from 10 to 11 feet
to the lowermost branches. It is a poor
policy to let them grow without pruning
until they are middle—sired trees, full of
largo limbs, and then trim them up at once,
as this destroys the equilibrium that exists
between the roots and branches. m gain
this equilibrium again, the tree will throw
out numerous small branches where the
larg,e ones were cut off, and if they aro not
attofided to they will soon be as full of
branches as they were before, and the sub
stance will go into useless branches, instead
of the main trunk as it should; the tops
will also grow too vigorously, and thus
become too heavy and be in daiiger of being
broken oft by storms. When trees have
not been properly managed , so that it has
become necessary to cut oil largo limbs to
avoid these difficulties, but afeiv should be
cut off each year, until properly trimmed
up, and all the young shoots that grow out
where the limbs have been cut oil, should
he removed every year. All limbs should
be cut off close to the trunk so that the
wounds will readily heal over. Another
benefit which would be derived from
planting locust trees along all roads and
permanently situated fences and in every
available spot, is that it would to some
extent obviate the evils that will be experi
eneod from the removal of all the forests.

[Expressly Reported for The Intelligericer.l
hlsssits. Enrrons :—A meeting of our
white and colored brothers belonging to
the Union League, was held at Baker's
Hall, Columbia, recently, and was well at
tended, the delegation from Tow Hill being
more than usually numerous.
' The meeting was called to order by the
Thisident, and the roll of members was
Balled; when it was found that brothers A.
J. Kauffman [ Peter Franey, and Quid
Yocum, of the .fi'jyy, all white, were absent,
which was a source of very general disap
pointment. Hard Case, PeteSaylor and Jo
Black were unanimously elected members
of the League, and took their seats in the
Hall. It was refreshing to see how cordi
ally they were welcomed as equals by the
sable sages there assembled.
The President stated the object of the
meeting at follows: " Brudders, de lust

Brother Hard Case, (white,) being loud
ly called for, ascended the platform with
his usual grace and elegance, and spoke as
follows-; " My friends and brothers, I am
happy to-night to be able to follow in tile
foot-prints of my illustrious predecessor,
Mr.Frailey,who has heretofore so eloquent
ly addressed you [cheers for Frailey,] and
to welcome you as fellow-men and fol
low citizens. It has been my fortune to
cross the broad Atlantic—to meet the as
sembled wisdom of the Parliament
of (treat Britain—the Corps Legislatif of
France—the Diet of Germany—and the
CEcumenieal Council at Rome; but never
in all my travels have I met an assemblage
of men of such majestic mean and intel
lectual brow as that which now greets me
in this my own dear native town. (Voice—
Dats tat kin, dat is; he'd make a whole
Legislature hissaf, lie would!) I rejoice,
dear friends, that this meeting gives such
glorious promise of the grand Millennium,
so near at hand, when the "lion and the
lamb shall lie down together." (Voice—
l'se good for one little white lamb, I is !)
Think not, good friends that tarn hero to ask
Mr office at your hands. No—not now—
not now. And think not that lam hero to
attempt to enlighten you on the duties and
privileges of American] freemen. No, I
have rather conic] to listen and to learn from
ou, who speak as no white man can. And
I humbly crave permission to come down
from a plumb perpendicular to a dead level
with you. Fellow citizens, having a bad
cold, and the room being somewhat close,
I will not weary you with any further re
marks this evening." ( Loud applause—
exit Case, coughing.)
Brother Baker here arose, and pushing
back the hair from a noble brow such as no
white citizen has, said: " Mr. President—l
is not preliminarily on de obligation ob de
condition ob disfranchisement; but I lobs
to set in do cool refragrence ob do evening
dew, and congitate soliloguisly ober de
mortal fraileyties of human man. (Objec
tion was made to the last remark on the
ground that it " was castin' reflective in
siniations on brudder Fraily.") Brother
Baker disclaimed any such intention, but
insisted "dat do problemicum 'tagonisms
ob de conflictive cimdidaters for do offices
ob notorious Publicans and 'semblages,
must be harmonated by do compromises
ob de Fifteenth Commandment."
Brother Looney, Democrat, thereupon
remarked: " Misuth Cheerman ob de
Union Leek, now how can a man drive two
hogs in one pen when do door ain't open
It ain't not possible."
Mr. Looney was put out; and after a
slight disturbance, occasioned by a report
that some Irish boys were stoning the
house of Aunt Chloe, Brother Peter Saylor
(white) arose, and promised to be present
at the next meeting with his sable friend,
Possum-eater, when he would be pleased
to make some remarks On the Constitu
tional Amendment. •
The " Black" gentleman, who keeps the
tavern on the corner, !text arose amidst im
mense applause, and said " that ho felt
happy to Ice numbered among the sons of
llam,.and it would be the proudest day of
his life when he could walk arm and arm
with them to the polls, and cast his ballet
along with theirs."
After the reading of several documents,
the meeting adjourned with cheers.

in wasting the treasury, ratifying many
unwise and oppressive acts, and tilling the
pockets of the members at the expense
or the unrepresented tax-payers of
the State. The scenes immediately
preceding the adjournment were of the
most disgraceful character. The House
presented a picture of pandemonium,

a gift of 3500, in consideration, doubtless,
of the free liquors and cigars furnished by
him to the members during the session.—
The scene in the Senate defies description.
The negro members pronounced the ear
pet-baggers "thieves," "escaped felons,"
etc., with the Most offensive urefixes.
:Mr. Leslie told one Senator the coat he
was then wearing he had stolen, and he
!Leslie) could prove it; pointing around
M the Senators he declared they were a
pack of scuundrels, who had sold their
votes time and again, and been bribed and
bought by the highest bidder. He then
gave chapters from their past history, in
which he presented the honorable Senators
flying from justice in other States, and
fetching up at last in Carolina. Ile declar
ed the Republican party a stench in the
nostrils of decency, and, as a Republican
himself, he said lie was ashamed of it; as
lOW as they said he had been, he never
thought he would reach the depths of an
association with such rascals and thieves
as made up this Legislature. The black
Senators replied in the same strain, swore
the carpet-hag reign was ended, and
that the State belonged to the 'legroom, and
they %%mild rule it. In the middle of such
a scene, the notorious Joe Crews exposed a
huge pile of greenbacks on a table. Tim
If urley and two negro Senators whisper
ed together Bich Crews over this pile of
meney—then Tim circulated among the
members, whispering to each, and imme
diately the phosphate monopoly bill was
taken up and passed. After such a scene
the President Or the Senate, in his closing
remarks, actually congratulated the body
WI the harmony which had characterized
their deliberations, and their courtesy
towards the Chair and towards each other!
Many really important measures in
which the white people of the State were
interested were, for this reason alone, pro
bably, laid over, and the mass of the leg
islation is of no benefit to the State, how
ever important for party ends, or the ag
grandizement of particular " ringe"—Cifr,

Front England comes the news that
Queen Victoria is about to tender to Mr
Dickens the fast waning honors of knight
hood or a baronetcy. Whether Mr. Dick
ens will accept or reject this compliment is
not stated, but it seems he lots been on a
visit to the Queen, by her special invita
tion, and as he on a former occasion re
fused to play in amateur theatricals at
Windsor, on the ground that lie would go
to no place where he could not be received
on the footing of other gentlemen, that
much of his difficulty is now overcome, ti
tle or no title. I [is late utterance in re
gard to the people governed and the people
governing, if we adhere to its democratic
interpretation, would imply that he was
likely to covet a title nitwit, yet as a good
Briton he might be so gracious towards
his gracious Queen as to accept the in
tended honor. Knighthood in former
times was won by the sword, now Mr.
Dickens, if he gets it at all, wins it by the
pen. And by the way, it may be mention
ed that the father of Mr. Dickens' wife,
rein whom he is so amicably separated,
has just died in England. George Hogarth
was his name. He was a noted musical
critic, and died in the eighty-sixth year of
his ago. The best known of his musical
works are his "Memoirs of the Opera"
and " Musical Biography and Criticism."
He was a prominent member of the circle of
literary men which comprised Walter Scott
Professor Wilson and Lockhart, and is
mentioned in the "Noetes Ambrociame.'
A woman suffrage amendment was de
feated in the Ohio House of Represent
atives yesterday—the vote being yeas

General Geary's Irletory Over General
If there is any quality that deserves pub
lic respect it is effrontery. Therefore we
honor John W. Geary. In the State Li
brary at Harrisburg there is only one pic
ture and that is of " Grant and his Gener
als.'l Grant, and Sheridan, and Meade,
and McPherson, and Pope, and other
distinguished soldiers were all in the
picture; but the artist, with beastly taste,
omitted the portrait of the Hero of Lookout
Mountain. Could Geary endure this slight?
No! it was not in human nature to be
patient, and so the aid of another artist was
invoked to vindicate the honor of the great
man whose bullet-riddled legs deprive him
of the pleasure of dancing the mazourka.
The picture has been reconstructed, and
the martial features of Governor Geary
have been painted in over those of General
Pope!
Thus does the Governor of Pennsylvania
assert his rights and triumphs over the ig
norant artist who omitted him from the
number of Grant's companions. Now, in
the picture, the patriotic eye kindles to see
Pope's legs, Pope's horse, Pope's hat,
Pope's coat, but not Pope's face. Instead,
it rejoices to see the stem features of the
reckless Geary. His head, so freshly paint
ed, rivets attention and glistens in recent
varnish. Poor Pope is driven from the
scene, and the noble Geary leaps into his
saddle. What affection for Grant, what in
timacy with Sheridan and Sherman this
intrusion shows. None but the meanly
I sarcastic mind would suggest that thong
Geary has grabbed Pope's horse, Pope's
coat, Pope's hat, Pope's body and Pope's
lege, he has not succeeded in getting Pope's
courage or Pope's brains.
As it is, the picture in the State Library
is now incomplete, and the Legislature
should appropriate a sum of money to carry
out Governor Geary's noble ideas of pro
priety. We suggest that Grant's face
should be painted out, and Colonel A. K.
McClure's painted in. Let Colonel Forney
replace Sheridan, General Collis replace
Sherman, and instead of Meade let us have
the portrait of the Hon. Charlotte Cushman.
Whistling Mose is now in Moyamensing
Prison, yet that would not prevent the sub
stitution of his face for that of Hooker.—
•We have Geary instead of Pope, and after
that we can stand anything, so that the pic
ture is made harmonious, and Cleary asso
ciated with his proper emu pani"ns.—l'hiln

Another homicide in Philadelphin.
This morning we are called upon to
chronicle another case of homicide, this
time the scene being laid in the business
heart of the city. Situated on Letitia street,
between Chestnut and Market and Front
and Second streets, aro two 21 story brick
dwellings, Nos. 11 and 13, ono (No. 13) oc
cupied as stager beer saloon by one Maier,
and the other (No. 11) as a bakery. The
beer shop is nothing more than a negro
hotel, where the negroes who work along
shore and Front street congregate and
spend their time, health, and miserable
pittances in drinking and idleness. The
yard attached connects with the yard at
tached to the bakery.
The bakery was kept prior to lust night
by a hard-working, honest German, named
Jacob George Nagel, who had in his em-
Moy as a cook a negress. It seems that one
of the hangers on at Maier's had cultivated
an acquaintance with the cook, and fre
quently carried on conversation with her in
the yard. About 6 o'clock on Saturday
night this negro, whose name is at present
unknown, and another, name Thomas Hill,
entered Nagel's place and Thomas desired
to see the cook. Being intoxicated, Nagel
refused to allow them to enter the kitchen,
when they at once assaulted him and
beat him unmercifully. The "unknown"
then lied, and 11111 was about escaping
when an officer, who had been mite
in by Mrs. N., arrested him. He was taken
before Alderman flodbou and held in $lOOO
bail to answer. Nothing more was thought
of the matter until Monday, when the phy
sician who had been called in to attend to
the injured roan visited the Fourth Dis
trict Station House and informed Lieu
tenant Killacky that Nagel's injuries
were of a serious if not fatal character.—
The Lieutenant at once sent an officer
in search of Hill, who rearrested him,
and Alderman fiodbou committed him to
prison to await the result of the injuries he
had aided in inflicting. Nagel lingered unr
til last night, when death put an end to his
sufferings, lie was visited by officers for
the purpose of taking his anti-mortem
statement on several different occasions,
but so fearfully was he beaten that he never
recovered sensibility sufficient to speak.

Baltimore Oysters In Paeltle Water,
Under this head the San Francisco Bul
letin, of March I has the annexed paragraph:
Sumo forty days ago George Mays of thu
California market, imported from Baltimore
and planted on the east shore of the bay
100,000 oysters. They were deposited in the
water as an experiment. It was found that
about one-half if them died, but the other
half have thriven beyond the anticipation
of the owner. 'l'lie♦ are in splendid condi
tion, and a number of then: have been taken
up for the San Francisco market. Mayes
has, however, sent for a large number from
Baltimore, and it is his intention, for the
future, to raise his own Baltimore oysters.
The transplantatiiin took place among the
native oysters, %Odell he had previously
planted, the object being bi cross the breed.
Since this experiment was tried, parties in
Oregon have determined to imitate the
example, and within a day or two a chip
tnen t of 100,1100 oysters were received and
sent north, to he planted in Shoal water
Last Trnr'• Immigrants
The followingF, statistics are taken from
the twenty-third annual report of the Com
missioners of Emigration, which is in
preparation : Daring the year 1609 a greater
number of alien emigrants arrived at
this port than in any other year since
1854. The total number of passengers
landed was 307,454, of whom 48,465 were
citizens, and 258,989 were aliens. The
latter nuts her was an excess of 95,303 over
that of 1868, and of 75,399 over the average
previous years. 97,605 of the emigrants were
natives of Germany,66,so4 of Ireland, 41,000
of England, and 52,090 from all other coun
trie. combined. It is remarked that while
the German emigration shows a slight fall
ing off, tho Irish and English have increas
ed since 1868.
The principal points of destination were:
Illinois 38,213; New York, 85,810; Penn
sylvania 32,135; Wisconsin, 17,003. Two
thousand three hundred and twenty-seven
Mormons arrived here during the year.—

The Philadelphia Ledger says an inter
esting question was raised in the Nisi Prius,
before Justice Read, during the progress of
a trial. For the defence, r. Clayton called
to the witness stand the wife of the defend
ant, claiming hi examine her under the
authority conferred by the act of Assembly
of April, 18119. Mr. Samuel C. Perkins, fur
the plaintiffs, objected to the examination
of the wife.
Justice Head left the Court, and after
conferring with the Judges in the Supreme
Court, returned and said : I have consulted
my brethren in the other room, and I find
that the IfiliofJustice, last week, admitted
a husband to testify for a wife, and upon
the general understanding of the Court, we
think that a wire is a competent witness for
the husband, and the husband a competent
witness fur the wire. But when put upon
the stand, although slat is put there by her
husband, she LePotnes a general witness,
allli may he examined about anything that
has relati,ak to the ease."
To Keep Tires on Wheels
Hear a practical Mall on this subject :
I Ironed a wagon sonic yearn ago for Inv
own use before putting on the tires
tilled the felloes with linseed oil ; and
the tires have worn out and were never
louse. My method is as follows: I use
a long cast iron heater, made for the pur
pose; the oil is brought to a boiling heat
the wheel is placed on a stick, so us to
hang in the oil, each fellue an hour. The
timber should tic dry as green timber
will not take the oil. Care should be
taken that the oil is nut made hotter
than a boiling heat, or the timber will
be burned. Timber filled with oil is not
susceptible to injury from water, and Is
rendered much more durable by this
process.
THE successful management of a farm
especially in this age of progress, re
quires thought not less than hard work.
Something more needs to be done than
scatter the seed and reap the harvest.—
What to plant, in order to be done toler
ably certain to obtain a good price for
the product; in what soil as to quality
and rotation of crop; and just when to
cultivate, and with what implement, to
secure the best result—all these things
need to be considered. The compara
tive leisure of winter is the best time to
think of these questions. Now is the
time to lay out the spring campaign
and to prepare the means for prosecut
ing it vigorously.
Many persons, In preparing potatoes
for cooking, pare off a thick slice from
the surface. Professor Blot in his lec
ture on the potato says the skinning
process is all wrong, as the strength of
the vegetable lies near the surface—the
starch growing leas abundant as the
centre is approximated. The starch
near the surface contains the nutriment
which is not more than seven or eight
per cent., the balance being merely wa
ter.

:Thritilf-iftraterr•l- .
There are people who have a preter
natural faculty for detecting evil, or the
appearance of evil in every man's char,
acter. They have a fatal scent fot
carrion. Their memory is like a muse
um I once saw at a medical college, and
illustrates all the hideous distortions,
and monstrous growths, and revolting
diseases by which humanity can be
troubled or afflicted. They think they
haves wonderful knowledge of human
nature. But it is a blunder to mistake
the Newgate Calender for a biographical
dictionary!
A less offensive type of the same ten
dency leads some people to find appar
ent satisfaction in the discovery and
proclamation of the slightest defects in
the habits of good men and the conduct
of public institutions. They cannot talk
about the benefits conferred by a great
hospital Without lamenting some in
significant blot in its laws, and some
trifling want of prudence in its manage
ment. Speak to them about a man
whose good works everybody is adrnir
ing, and they cool your ardor by reg'et
ting that he is so rough in his manner or
so smooth—that his temper is-so hasty,
or that he is so food of applause. They
seem to hold a brief, requiring of them
to prove the impossibility of human per
fection. They detect the slightest alloy
in the pure gold of human goodness.—
That there are spots in the sun is, with
them, something more than an observed
fact—it takes rank with a priori and
necessary truths.
There aro people who, if they hear an
organ, find out at once which are the
poorest stops. If they listen to a great
speaker, they remember nothing but
some slip in the censtruction of a sen
tence, the consistency of a metaphor, or
the evolutions of an argument. While
their friends are admiring the wealth
and beauty of a tree whose branches are
weighed down with fruit, they have
discovered a solitary bough, last in the
golden affluence, on which nothing is
hanging.
Poor linzlitt was sorely troubled with
them in his time. " Littleness," he
said, " is their element, and they give
a character or meanness to whatever
they touch."
Slate PencllB
Twenty year ago all the slate pencils
used were manufactured in Germany.
She then supplied America with this
commodity. In 1850 there was a young
man living in West Rutland, Vt.,
eighteen years of age, who fortunately
discovered a supply of stone for making
a.tirst-class article of slate pencils. He
began by whittling out the pencils and
selling them to school children. Being
a better article than that for sale in the
stores, he found a ready sale for all he
could whittle out.
He argued that if they would sell thus
readily at home, they would sell read
ily, everywhere. He became possessed
of the idea that there was a fortune in
the business, and his dream has been
realized. This quarry of slate pencil
stone was situated in a large ravine four
miles north of Castleton, Vt., near
Bomoseen Lake. The laud on which
it was situated was for sale at one hun
dred dollars. He purchased it, and be
gan the operation by sawing out the
pencils and whittling them round.
The business of making them grew
immensely on his hands, so that it was
impossible to keep a clean order book.
Machinery was invented to facilitate
the process, which has reached some
thing like perfection, and enormously
increases the production of pencils.
At present the quarry and mills :are
owned by a joint stock company. They
are valued at three hundred thousand
dollars. From fifty to one hundred
thousand pencils are turned out daily,
and upward of one hundred hands are
employed in the quarry and in the mill.
After the stone is quarried it passes
through four processes before it is made
into pencils. It is sawn into retangular
blocks five inches by seven, and split
by hand into slabs of the same length
and breadth, which are carefully assort
ed. These slabs pass through a machine
which shaves them all to the uniform
thickness of a quarter of an inch, when
they are ready for the final process.
The machinery for reducing these
slabs to pencils consists of iron plates
fitted to receive them, fastened to an
endless chain which passes over rollers
at either end.—lron Age.
Duelling in German tniTersilles
Duelling among German students is
constantly winked at by the college au
thorities. The senate have often known
as much as the boys, of the day and the
hour. " Would the Herr like to see a
nice duel to-day ? the waiters at the
hotels at Jena will say to you at your
breakfast : " Very pretty affair coming
off in the forenoon, sir. Two of the best
fighters of the Germanians and Thur
ingians are going loose, and I was told
by one of the corps last night that one
of them is certain to lose his nose at
least. Would the Herr like to have a
carriage to take himself over to the
tavern where the 'tights take place?"
The regulations Which the Prussian
Government has issued in consequence
of the narrow escape of the son of Count
Bismarck, seem intended to regulate
rather than prevent such encoun
ters By one article all students
societies whose members organize
duels " without reasonald, curiae,"
and which are formed for the purpose
of duelling, are to be dissolved. Another
article provides for tire rustication of
any student who may tight a duel
" without being attended by a surgeon
and ffovided with the necessary appar
atus in case of wounds." If the strident
belongs to a society, and the President
of the society is shown not to have taken
step's to prevent the duel from having
serious results, the latter is also to be
rusticated. A duel must be stopped at
once i f one of the adversaries has received
a wound which requires medical care.
Duelling within safe limits,—slit noses,
slashed cheeks, &c,—is evidently deem
ed by the Prussian Government to de
serve the fostering care of the State.
The Bradford Reporter tells n ~ t ory
about a man In Towanda, residing in a
house once occupied as a hotel, who on
cleaning the well discovered a firkin of
butter which had lain at the bottom for
upwards of thirty years, and when open
ed the bottom proved to be na yellow as
gold and sweet as the day it wits made.
