Terrible .111art6ainakiii in Chloa—•Ndsair
Three Thousand lenople
WASIIINGToN, June S.—Our:Minister in
China, Governor Lowe, has forwarded' to
the Secretary ofState the followintr transla
tion ofa report of an earthquake in Bathing,
in Sichuan, made by the Chinese Gover
nor-General of the province in which it oc
curred :
" I have ascertained that Batbang Iles on
a very elevated spot, beyond the borders
of the province, about 260 miles west from
Litang, and more than thirty post stations
from the district town of Ta-taien, on the
high road to Thibet. ,
"About 11 o'clock A. M., on the.l.l,
April, 1870; the earth trembled so violently
that the Government offices, temples, gran
aries, stone and store housee, , enti fortifica
tions, with all the common dwellings and
the Temple of Ting; were at once
overthrown anti ruinedl - The only excep
tion was the hall in this temple grounds
called Ta-Chao, which stood unharmed in
its isolation. J
"A few of the troops and people escaped,
but most of thelbmates were crushed and
killed under the falling timber and stone.
Flames, -also suddenly burst out in four
places, which strong winds drove about
until the heavens were darkened with
smoke, 'and their roaring was mingled with
,the lamentations of the distressed people.
On the 13th the flames were beaten down,
but the rumbling noises were still heard
under ground like distant thunder, and the
earth rocked and rolled like a ship in a
storm, at the mercy of the waves. The
multiplied miseries of the afflicted inhab
itants were increased by a thousand fears,
but in about ten days matters began to grow
quiet and the motion to cease.
"'the grain collector at Bathing says that
for several days belbre the earthquake the
water had overflowed the dyke, but alter it
the earth cracked in many places, and
black, fetid wat spurted out in a furious
manner, If oneked it the spurting in
stantly followed (Ju poked
is the case with the
salt-wells and firmwells In the eastern part
of the province); arid this explains how it
happened that lire followed the earthquake
In Bathing.
" As nearly as Is ascertained, there were
destroyed two large temples, the offices of
the Collector of Grain Tax, the local msg•
istrato, and the colonel, the Ting-Lin tem
ple and nearly 700 fathoms of wall around
it, arid 351 rooms in all inside; six smaller
temples numbering 221 rooms, besides
1844) rooms and houses of the common peo
ple. The number of people, soldiers and
llamas killed by the crash was 2288, among
whom were the local magistrate and his
second Mollie°.
"The earthquake extended from Bath•
ang eastward to Pang-elmh-tnuli, want to
Nantun, on the south to Lin-tsah-shiti, and
on the north to the salt-wells of A-tuntaz,
a circuit of over 400 index. It occurred Hilll
ultaneously over the whole of this region.
In some places steep hills split and sunk
into deep pits; in others hills on level
spots became precipitous cliffs, rind the
roads and highways were rendered i wpm:,
able by obstructions.
" The 'people were scattered and beggared
like Autumn leaves, arid this calamity to
the people (41' liathang and vicinity was re
ally one of the most distressing and de
structive that has happened. The Gover
nor-General twice memorialized the Em
peror respecting It, who granted aid to
relieve the misery, re-open the roads be
tween the post-houses, and rebuild or re
pair the offices and dwellings as they were
needed. Many are now resuming their
occupations and the roads are everywhere
passable."
NEW ORLEANS, Juno 3.—The crevasse in
the now canal levee, foot of Hogan avenue,
Is 125 feet wide and four feet deep. The
water is pouring into the city. Another
break is reported on the inner levee of the
old canal to-night. All that portion of the
city between the two canals and west of
Clalbourne street will doubtless be flooded
before morning.
The flood is caused by heavy rains, the ,
Bonnet Cerro crevasse, and eastand south
east winds driving in a heavy stream from,
the gulf, causing an unusual rise in Loke
Pontchartrain. The rain and unfavorable
weather still continue. The Milneburg
and Lake end of the Pontchartrain Railroad
is several Inches molar water. The Mobile
and Texaa Railroad, from Fort Macomb to
the Rigolene, about twelve miles is par
tially flooded.
NEW ORLFIANS, June 4—Evening.—The
inundation is extending, and now includes
all west of Franklin street between the old
and new canals. The water in Lake Pont
chartrain is receding slowly. The Pont
chartrain Railroad from lieutilly station to
the lake Is six or eight inches under water,
though the cars are still running.
New ORLEANS, Juno s.—The flood in
creasing. The water is as near up Canal
street as Rampart street, with the excep
tion of the neutral ground on Canal street,
which is not entirely covered. East of
Claiborne there is an unbroken sheet of
water from Villery street to the Metairie
bridge, and from the new lo the old basin
are areas of live or six square miles, in
cluding about three hundred thickly in
habited squares.
The sufferings of the inhabitants of this
quarter, especially the ptyu I C aus:3-
es, are very great. Thousands living in
single-story houses have moved out, while
most of those living iu two-story houses
have been compelled to more into the sec
ond story.
Back of Claiborne street, on Canal, there
is an average depth of two feet of water:—
The city authorities seem to be doing all
they can to alleviate the sufferings of the
people. Every available boat and skiff has
been brought into use Policemen may be
seen moving in almost every direction,
rendering such assistance as they can,
moving those who are in danger, and dis
tributing provisions to the needy. The
damage by this overflow cannot be estima
ted with any degree of certainty. The
shrubbery and gardens haveall been ruin
ed. Houses are damaged and property de
preciated. The overflew directly from the
Lake Gentility road quarter has caused
heavy loss in the destruction 01 many tine
market gardens.
The Iffilneburg and the Pontchartrain
Railroad from Gentilly station is still over
flowing. The water in the lake is receding
slowly. A train came through from Mo
bile yesterday on the Chattanooga Rail
road. A passenger reports about four miles
of the road under water. A Jackson Rail
road passenger, who came in this morning,
reports that the road is under water for
seven miles north of Pass Manchac.
Laura Fair Sentenced to be Hanged
SAN FRANCISCO, June 3.—The Court open
ed at 10 *his morning, and continued until
halt past 11, to admit new adidavits in the
•.tase of Littlefield, one of• the jurors who
condemned Mrs. Fair.
The counsel for the defense argued at
length on the motion for a new trial, on the
ground contained lu the affidavit impeach
ing the jurors, Messrs. Beach and Little
field; also, on the question of jurisdiction
on the bill of exceptions.
On the conclusion of the argument for
defence, the Judge, still seated, went on to
Nay that he had given the matter careful
consideration, and would be glad to have
the least doubt as to the justice of the ver
dict.
The prisoner had every advantage the
law could give. The case, that should have
been tried in ten days, occupied a month.
In the case of the Jurors he did not think
they had formed a direct opinion, merely a
newspaper Impression, and if jurors were
to be excluded from reading newspapers
we never could get a jury. As to the qual
ification of the juror Beach, he did not
think the testimony contained in the affi
davits sufficient to the point to disqualify
him. His character for respectability was
amply testified to.
In the cke of the other juror, Littlefield,
it is simply an allidavit against one man,
who knows hedid not,by another man who
says he did.
the Judge further said it was hard to
make any Court believe that men of re
spectability would work themselves into a
Jury for the purpose of securing a convic•
don. It only remains for me now to puss
the sentence, the saddest duty of my life.
The Court—Laura D. Fair, you were in
dicted by the Grand Jury of the city and
county of San Francisco for the unlawful
killing of Alexander Crittenden. That in
dictment was sent to this Court for trial.—
You were furnished with an impartial jury.
You were ably defended by counsel. The
jury pronounced you guilty. Have you
any legal cause to show why the judgment
ofthe Court should not be pronounced upon
you?
Profound silence reigned in the Court,
broken only by,the sobbings of the prison
er's mother and of the ladies who sat by
her. The prisoner sat with her face buried
in her hands, but otherwise composed and
motionless, and made no response. After
a few moments pause, the Judge with
trembling voice, said: "The judgment of
the Court is, that on Friday, the 28th day
of July next, you, by the Sheriff appointed,
be hanged by the neck until you are dead,
and may tied have mercy on your soul."
The scene in the court-room during the
remarks of the Judge and the delivery of
the sentence was one of intense excitement.
The room was not crowded, few supposing
that the case would be closed today. The
prisoner, while the Judge was speaking,
watched his face eagerly. When he said
he saw no ground for a new trial she bow
ed her head in her mother's lap and wept
bitterly, but aucceeded in a few minutes in
recovering her composure. A number of
ladies were present, all of whom wept on
sentence being pronounced.
After adjuurntnentof court the prisoner's
mother, Mrs Lane,.confronted the reporter
present, saying, with great excitetnent and
anger:
"Now you have got what you wanted,
haven't you? You have got her hung. I
. hope it gives you joy."
' With difillulty she was pacified. The
prisoner, on leaving the court, bowed to
the reporters and officers of the court, say
ing she forgave all. She asked the Sheriff
to prevent her jailor, a man named Deily,
from handcuffing her and chaining her to
the door of the cell, as he had threatened
to do. The Sheriff assured her he would
allow no such treatment.

Twenty-Six Men and Seven Women Shot
at Once—Their Bodies Curried Away
In Scavenger-Carts.
PARIS, Wednesday, May 31.—T0-day 33
Communists, among whom were seven
women, were shot in a body by a company
of soldiers. Around three aides of the
square, troops to the number of 1,500 were
drawn up, tinder command of Col. Guizot.
At 8 o'clock the prisoners, who had been
confined in the coal-cellars back of the
porter's lodge in the Hotel de Ville, were
brought out, their hands tied behind their
backs, and then marched out by the main
gateway through a double tile of soldiers,
and having reached the centre of the wide
area in front of the Hotel de Ville, were
ranged in a row, and made to kneel down
close together. There was nothing on the
whole plaza but three empty scavenger
carts, which stood in a line at the rear of the
prisoners. When the company was in line
and ready to tire, Col. Guizot stepped for
ward and told the prisoners in a few words
that they were to suffer death for having
been caught in the act of setting fire to
buildings and dwellings of Paris. At this
moment the women uttered a piercing
shriek and began to sway themselves back
and forth. An officer advanced and made
them keep still with the flat of his sword.
A few moments afterward a volley was
fired, and when the smoke cleared away a
most horrible sight was presented. Throe

AN EXTRAORDINARY EXECUTION
A Murderer la Allowed Twenty Day,. to
Settle his Affairs—Appears Promptly
and Meet. his Doom.
A gentleman ofJonesburg, Mo., recently
returned from Texas, relates an extraor
dinary occurrence which took place a short
time Since in the Indian Nation. A Choc
taw Indian, having committed a wilful
marder, - was arrested, tried, and sentenced
to be shot to death. lie asked for twenty
days in which to prepare and visit his
friends, giving his word of honor as a
" brava ' to return at the appointed time,
and was allowed to go forth without a guard
or bail.
- -
At the expiration of the twenty days,
according to appointment, the hour for the
execution arrived, and the Indian, true to
his word, at the very hour and minute gal
loped up to the place where the sentence
was to be carried out, in company with
three of his sisters and three brothers, all
appearing as cheerful as though they had
come to a dance or a frolic. The coffin was
then brought on tse ground, but some one
remarked that it was too small, upon which
one °lithe doomed.lndian's brothers told
him to lie down in it and measure, which
he cheerfully did, and laughingly said, "It
fits all right." The crowd meanwhile ap
peared to be in the most cheerful spirits,
and cracked jokes and laughed. At last,
when all was ready, the doomed man was
ordered to sit on the ground. A handker
chief was then placed over his eyes by his
sister. While the Sheriff held one hand,
one of the condemned Indian's brothers
held the other on each side of him. The
Deputy Sheriff then stood in an old house,
about ten steps in front of the condemned,
with a rifle. From some cause the rifle
went off accidentally, the bullet passing up
through the roof of the house. The Indian,
believing he was shot, drew himself up
and shuddered, but did not speak or move
from the spot. A black mark was then
made over the Indian's heart, with spittle
and powder, by his brother, while the
Deputy Sheriff reloaded his rifle, and at a
signal he took steady aim, fired, and
pierced the centre of the mark. The In
dian, with a few struggles, fell back dead,
with the brother and the Sheriff still hold.
log his hands. No one seemed to be in the
least affected except the doomed Indian's
mother, who shed tears, but was told to
"shut up" by her son, that all was over.

LANCASTER. COUNTY PRISON AND ALDEN-
Holism—Tile following article relative Co
our county prison and alms-house is from*
the last Annual Report of the Board of
Public Charities:
The Lancaster county.prison is thVorably
located on the Philadelphia and Lancaster
Turnpike, in the city of Lancaster, in the
immediate vicinity of the public water
basin, and a short distance from the county
almshouse. 'The ground upon which it
stands is elevated, commanding gOod
view of the city and surrounding country.
It was erected in 1850. '1 he front is built
of sand-stone, the boundary wall, and
other masonry work, of limestone. It has
a small enclosed wall on each'side of-the
entrance. It has one cell block in the rear
of the front building. The warden and his
family reside in the front apartments,
where there are, also, an office and store
rooms for the accommodation of the insti-
tution.
The corridor has two tiers of cells, 80 in
number, and is 176 feet six inches long,
and 14 feet 8 inches wide, roofed with slate,
while the cells are covered with tin.
Twenty sky lights and a window in the
end furnish the necessary light. There is
a door in the end by which access can be
had to the yard. The yard wall is fourteen
feet high. Small yards are attached to the
lower tier of cells, entered from the latter,
but they are seldom used, as they are not
regarded as sufficiently secure.
The cells are 15 feet long by 7 feet 6
inches wide; the lower tier 10 feet high,
and the upper tier 11 feet high in front and
8 feet back. The front and partitions are
constructed of brick. To give them greater
security, several of the cells have recently
been lined with boiler plate iron. They
are provided with hydrants and water
closets. The hot air is admitted by a reg
ister near the ceiling, and the foul air flue
is in the outside wall near the floor. The
whole cell building is warmed by five hot
air furnaces, and the dwelling by stoves.
The government of the prison is under
the control of six inspectors, two of whom
are elected every year by the people and
serve three years. They appoint the war
den and other o ff icers. 'fhe present warden
has occupied the position for the last three
years, and seems qualified for the duties.
Every appearance of the prison, the condi
tion of the bedding and clothing of the
prisoners, all indicate as reasonable a de
gree or comfort and cleanliness as could be
expected in a county jail.
I visited this prison, in company with
Mr. Harrison, April 28, 1870. It contained
at that time 85 Inmates; of these, 38 were
convicts and 13 were committed for trial ,•
all males. Forty-seven were committed
for vagrancy and drunkenness, thirty eight
of whom were males and nine females.—
During the winter there was a large num
ber or this class,
who were employed in
breaking stone. Twelve of these were, for
a few days controlled by ball and chain to
prevent their escape. The vagrants do the
work about the prison. Each convict is
required to keep his own cell in order;
but they are never allowed the use of the
yard, except by order of the physician.—
fhey change all their clothes once a week.
They have conveniences for bathing, but
rarely use them. They perform ablution
by the use of buckets. They are examin
ed by the physician after sentence, previ
ous to being put to labor. They are allow•
ed light in their cells until the bell strikes
eight o'clock, when all lights have to be
extinguished.
The drainage of the prison is good. All
waste matter is conducted into pipes, ter
minating in a main, which is discharged
into a run on thealmshouse property. The
prisoners are supplied at breakfast with
bread, coffer.moles:es, and sometimes
mush. For inner they have soup, meat,
anti sour-krout, and on Sunday, potatoes.
At supper they get bread, coffee and mush.
This prison being constructed with a
view to separate confinement at labor, the
system is very fairly administered.
The prisoners weave carpets, bagging
and other articles, make and mend boots
and shoes, manufacture willow baskets
and cigars, and knit fish nets, tly-nets and
seines. Nearly all the convicts were en
gaged in stripping willow for baskets, it
being the season when this part of the
work has to be attended to. In weaving
rag carpet, they are tasked with two hur
dred yards per month. For each yard
over this amount they receive from two to
tour cents, as for over-work.
The convicts were dressed in a prison
• • -
uniform. Their pantaloons and shirts are
striped, the stripes running across and not
perpendicularly. In winter they wear
flannel shirts.
The actual cost of the prison to the coun
ty during last year was $2O, 381.14.
There is preaching every other Sabbath
in the corridor by the moral instructor,
who also visits every alternate day to give
instruction to the convicts, and receives a
salary of $2OO. There is a library, to which
about $5O worth of books is added yearly.
Typhoid fever was prevalent last Winter
in the prison, from which two deaths oc
curred.
Tt.e warden receives 28 cents a day for
ttoarding each of the prisoners, and a sal
ary of $7OO per annum. The physician re
gun°. The underkeepers receive the
same salary as the NY arOc....
LANCASTER COUNTY ALMS-HOUSE.
The Lancaster County Alms-House is
situated about one mile from the City of
Lancaster, on the south side of the Phila
delphia and Lancaster Turnpike. The farm
contains 111:1 acres of good, arable land, all
of which is in a good state of cultivation.
The main building is of stone, two stories
high, exclusive of the basement and attic,
and is covered with shingles. It is an old
fashioned double house, with two halls
crossing each other in the centre, and cov
ering an area of 150 feet by 40.
The tax-payers of Lancaster county au
thorized the erection of a new brick build
ing in 1867, for the accommodation of the
insane, at a cost of $39,000, and had the old
structure remodelled at an expense of
$2,400. Tho hospital is 100 feet long and 40
feet wide, three-stories high and covered
with slate. The insane department is 33
by 25 feet. Four hot-air furnaces warm
the new part of the building, and three the
old, with a flue opening into every room.
A water-closet and bathing apparatus are
contained in each ward. The rooms are
by 10 feet, with transoms over the doors.—
The warm air enters the rooms near the
floor, and the ventilating flues are near the
ceilings. In this building 200 persons can
be conveniently accommodated. On the
Ist day of April last it contained 137, and
at the same time there were in the old alms
house, 181.
The steward receives annually $5OO sal
ary, and the baker $55 per month. The
farmer gets $225 per annum, with a house
free of rent, fuel and a cow. J. 0. Stein
heiser, Superintendent of the hospital and
insane department, receives a salary of
$l,OOO, with house-rent free, fuel and board.
The physicians, four in number, give their
attendance quarterly, and each one receives
one-fourth of a salary of $332. All the rest
of the work, except in harvest time, when
it is necessary to hire a portion of the labor,
is dme by the paupers, who make all the
clothing and most of the shoes worn in the
institution.
The number of insane in this institution
at the time of my visit was 60-34 of whom
were males and 26 females—all chronic
cases. Only two females were confined to
their rooms in this department, and ono
male was'restrained with muffs. There is
no special medical treatmentemployed for
these : cases, as they are regarded as incur
able. There were eight cases of idiocy—
three males and five females; one old man
was blind, and three persons were deaf
mutes—one male and two females.
The average number of inmates during
the year was 285. The number of vagrants
who received supper, lodging and break
fast during the same time, was 1,834 Amer
icans, 4,984 Germans, and 1,281 Irish;
making a total of 8,102.
The amount expended for the support of
the house in 1869 was $32,784 19, including
about $3,000 paid for out,door relief.
Among the different alms-house visits in
the State, I regard this, so far as related to
the accommodation for the insane, as one
of the best. Mr. Steinheiser seems very
well qualified for his position. He coin
prebends the character of the class of in
mates under his charge, and enters with a
becoming spirit into the system of manage
ment which is best adapted to their pecu
liarities and wants. The department has
acquired some reputation under his man
agement, as is evinced from the fact that
in 1808, the first year of its occupancy, it
received $1,248.75, over four per cent. of
the cost of its erection, for the board of
patients. And in the year 1869 the receipts
from the same source were $2,217-
59 making eight per cent. on the in
vestment in the new building. Ido not
advise the sending of acute eases to any in
stitution which has not all the modern and
most approved means for the treatment of
recent cases, but feel very safe in recom
mending the placing of cases of insanity.
which have reached the chronic state and
need but little medical treatment, under
the care of Mr. Steinheiser, believing they
will be kindly and judiciously cared for.—
There are many such cases in every county
and if other counties would follow the ben
eficent example which Lancaster has giv en
us, and make suitable provision for
their incurable insane, by placing them
under the care of a • humane and in
telligent superintendent, properly qual
ified for bis duties, our State in
stitutions would be greatly relieved from
the care of this class, and thereby en
abled to extend their usefulness to many
who are now deprived of advantages,which,
if opportunely embraced, would restore
them to reason and happiness. 'Several
other counties, actuated by a proper spirit
of philanthrophy and Christian duty, are
moving in the right direction,and'erecting
houses for the betteraccommcdation of this
class; but it should ever be tomb in mind
that expensive houses affordbut little ben
efit or comfort to these children of muter
tune, and go but a little way towards re
lieving the community of the burden im
posed, if their keeping and, supervision is
not confided fn persons well qualified for
the position. Without .this. essential pre
caution in, the selection of superintendents,
no satisfactory results can follow even our
best efforts.

Arriving at Woodward Hill Cemetery
the procession were met by the Band of
Hope, an organization of temperance boys
and girls numbering 150 members, carry
ing bow:pled' an wreaths of flowers,which
they handed aver to the members of the
Post, to aid In . the decoration. The pro
cession passed into the cemetery and closed
around the graves of privates Joshua W.
Geiter, of the 79th P. V., and the brothers
Gunion, of the 99th, the three graves being
close together. Their Honors the Judges
of our Court, occupied a place in
the centre of the circle, thus formed.
Prof. John Hart opened the ceremonies by
reciting the Memorial Ode written for the
occasion, which was followed by the read
ing of an extract from Henry Ward Beech
er's "Honored Dead." A dirge was then
played by the band, and the Lancaster
Miennerchor followed with the German
song " Die Capelle," and the national hymn
"America." The form of service prescribed
by the Grand Army was then read by ex-
Commanders W. W. Hopkins, H. R. Bren
eman, and J. K. Barr, and Chaplain D s W.
Patterson, who proceeded to decorate the
graves with white flowers.
During this part of the ceremonies an In •
teresting incident occurred. Captain A.
Setley, late of the 99th,and a member of the
Post, not knowing till then that he was
standing beside the grave or one of his own
men, made a feeling impromptu speech,
stating that Gunton had been killed at Kel. ,
ly's Ford, within five minutes after he
himself had been severely wounded. Al
most overcome with emotion he then laid
a floral tribute upon the grave of his dead
friend.
. .
Another interesting feature of the occa
sion was the presence of the Soldiers' Or
phans belonging to SL James' Orphan
Asylum and the Children's Home.—
They asked and at once received permis
sion to assist in the decoration.
After the prescribed form of ceremonies
had been gone through withatthese graves
the members of the Post separated into
detachments, and assisted by the Soldiers'
Orphans, decorated each soldier's grave in
the Cemetery. Re-assembling they marched
to 'Lion Cemetery, where the baud played
a dirge and the Mamnerchor sang an ap
propriatil piece of. music, and a detach
ment of the Post decorated each of the sol
diers' graves. The procession then visited
in turn St. Joseph's, Shreiner's, the Mo
ravian, Lancaster, St. Mary's, and St.
James' Cemeteries, at each of which the
band played a dirge, and the Mteciner3hor
furnished vocal music.
The procession was dismissed in Centre
Square about six o'clock.
All the cemeteries were crowded during
the afternoon with men, women and chil
dren, and many graves besides those of the
soldiers were handsomely decorated.
NEW HOLLAND ITEMS.—WhiIe business
is dull in our village there are still some
improvements being made. The corner
stone of a new M. E. Church was laid on
Whit-Monday by the Rev. Dr. Castle, pre
siding elder of the dist ict, assisted by the
Rev. J. E. Smith and Rev. John C. Gregg,
both of your city, Rev. H. B. Manger, of
Millersville, Rev. D. W. Gerhard, of New
Holland, and others. The Rev. J. E. Smith
preached a very able and eloquent ser
mon in the afternoon. Rev. J. C. Gregg
preached very acceptably at night, and also
superintended the finances d uring the after
noon and evening; the amount realized
during the day was over 8:100. A Metho
dist Church is greatly needed in New Hol
land, and though the membership is small
and means limited, the noble and zealous
little society will do their utmost in the
premises. The cause is one of pressing ne
cessity ; trusting the liberality of our
friends at home and abroad, we intend by
halo of r iln no forward. Donations
will be thanatully receiveo a auuresseu
the following: Jacob Mentzer,
Amos Dil
ler, Robt. Townsley, Rev. J. Gregg, New
Holland ; Rev. H. Turner, Enterprise.
The soldier's graves in our village and
atßoland's Church, were suitably decorated
on Tuesday, May 30th. The procession
formed at 1 I'. M. in front of Witmer's
Hall, headed by the New Holland Band,
under command of Captain Eckert, of In
tercourse, aided by Martin Good, Solomon
Martin and Isaac 8011, and proceeded to
the grave-yard of the Reformed Church,
where suitable services were conducted by
the clergymen of the place, consisting of
speaking, prayer, &c.—after which an ad
dress was delivered by the Rev. N. Turner,
in Witmer's Hall. The procession then
proceeded to Roland's Church to decorate
the graves of the soldiers buried at that
place. The ceremonies were concluded
with prayer and a short address by the
Rev. Joseph Gregg. The exercises of the
occasion proved satisfactory to all. The
meeting adjourned to meet one year hence.
ODD-FELLOWS' PARADE.—The parade of
Odd-Fellows, at Paradise, was a very fine
affair, and attracted a great deal of atten
tion, though the number in line was not
so large as it would have been had the
weather been less excruciatingly hot.
The parade was got up under the auspi •
ces of Pequea Lodge, No. 151, the members
of which turned out in force to welcome
the visiting Lodges. They were preceded
by the Quarryville Band, and carried in the
procession a beautiful banner, a handsome
American llag and two small flags, dis
playing the colors of the Order. Four boys
dressed in white shirts black pants and
green sashes, and each bearing in one hand
a small flag carried„Ligtween them on a
hurdle, a handsonielrbound Bible.
Earl Lodge, No. 413, had also a large del
egation in line, and was preceded by a
band of music, and a very handsomely
painted banner.
Strasburg Lodge, No. 361, made a fine
appearance, carrying a fine banner and
other paraphernalia.
Octoraro Lodge No. 370, of Pennington
villo turned out a large delegation, as did
also Coleraine Lodge No. 544, from Kirk
wood. The three Lodges of Lancaster
turned out but a meagre delegation, not
more than half a dozen, all told, - which is
regarded as a poor return for the handsome
manner In which Pequea Lodge turned out
to the parade in this city some years ago, at
which time all their members were present
except two, who were sick.
The procession, under command of Col.
J. L. Lightner, Chief Marshal, and P. G.'s
F. T. Ronk and Jacob Brua, moved from
Paradise to Soudersburg and returned.
The parade terminated in the fine or
chard of Mr. A. L. Witmer, where a stand
had been erected for the accommodation of
speakers, and seats for the spectators, of
whom a very large number were present.
Dr. J. Levergood, of this city, in an in
teresting speech, sketched the history of
Pequea Lodge. He was followed by the
orator of the day, C. N. Hickok, Grand
Representative to the Grand Lodge of the
United States, who, in an eloquent oration
described the rise and progress of the Or
der in the United States.
Tl.w . occasion was a very pleasant one
broughout, barring the extreme heat of
he weather.
THE WOODS MEETING.—A. correspond
ent informs us that the woods meeting held
by the German Methodists, on Sunday
last, in the vicinity of Earlville, was not so
largely attended as its friends expected it
would be. There were present, however,
many earnest Christians. and it is thought
much good was done. One prominent fea
ture of the meeting was the large number
of Radical political candidates present in
search atter truth and office at the same
time. Among a number of others from
this city our correspondent mentions the
name of a father and son, learned in the
law, who have some designs on the District
Attorneyship. While the son button-holed
the younger voters on the outskirts of the
meeting, the father took position near the
altar among the elder of the Germans, and
on bended knees and in solemn tones re
sponded with sonorous "amens" to the
eloquent prayers there offered. His friends
will be pleased to hear of his sudden and
disinterested zeal in the good cause.
LOVE-FEASTS.—On Friday and Saturday
of last week the "Dunkards," or German
Baptists, held a "love-feast" at Springville,
Ephrata township, which was well attend
ed. The love-least was held upon the
premises of Isaac. Keller, in a large barn,
adjoining an elegant orchard, and a better
place mould not have been selected. There
was both English and German preaching:
a great number of pastors were present,
including brethern from the West—from
the States of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
Last Sunday the German Baptists, more
commonly called Dunkards, held a love
feast on the premiseii of Samuel Becker,
near Kelly's corner," Lebanon county.
It was pronounced by the oldest inhabit
ants of that vicinity to have been the largest
gathering ever witnessed In that section.
Last Tuesday another one was held in
West Donegal, township, on the farm of H
Miller. A very largo concourse of people
were present.
BROKE His NEOK.—Some days ago as
Mr. Gabriel Wenger was driving across
the bridge over Pequea Creek, near Mos
selman's mill, his horse took fright at the
flapping of a boy's hat, and jumped over
the side of the bridge, breaking his neck.
,Fortunately the traces.unhooked and
neither Mr. Wenger nor the carrge were
injured.- The horse was valued &OM!
AGRICULTURE AND HORTICULTURE.—
The regialat monthly meeting of tiie Lan

giving flattering accounts of- the prospects
in their several localltiel,lliegeneral opin
ion being that the wheat, corn; and fruit
crops will be considerably, better than last
year, when they were better than they had
been (or some years previons..Erom.Para

plaints that the curculio was cutting off the

and a few other townships said the oats
crop would probably be short., A very
large crop of honey is expected to be gath
ered, as the bees are working with unusual
industry.
Wm. A. Wilson, Esq., George Whitson
and H. H. Stehman,",were elected members
of the Society.
The question whether it pays the farmer
to raise wheat when the average yield fs
only fifteen bushels to the acre, was dis
cussed at great length by a number of gen
tlemen present, and there was much diver
sity of opinion among them. It was gener
ally conceded that there has been a gradual
decline in the yield of wheat for many years
past, though last year there was a slight in
crease, and this year promised a further
increase if the crop Was not attacked by the
fly or rust. Some of the speakers thought
that the growth of wheat in this county
would soon have to be discontinued, and
more profitable crops substituted, such as
corn, tobacco, fruits, &c., or the raising
of stock and the production of butter,
cheese, &c. • others thought that a
yield of fif teen bushels to the acre
paid, else farmers would not continue to
plant so much of it; others thought the
farmer who raised but fifteen bushels to
the acre, had nothing but bad husbandry
to blame for it; one speaker proposed to
remedy the evil by reducing the amount
of seed to one bushel per acre; another
recommended to increase the quantity to
two bushels per acre; another proposed
plowing in clover, which seemed to pos
seas great fertilizing properties. Various
other remedies for short crops were pro
posed, but good husbandry and hard work
by the farmer himself seemed to be abso
lutely necessary to Insure increased crops
and make the culture of wheat pay.
One of the speakers told an anecdote
of a pious farmer who always had a good
crop, while his next neighbor's was a fail
ure. The neighbor wanted to know the
secret of his success, and was told by his
pious friend that he always prayed for a
good crop and was never disappointed.
His neighbor solicited his prayers and in
vited him to take a look at his farm. On
doing so, the Christian farmer shook his
head, saying that prayer would do that
land no good—it needed duns! The dis
cussion was concluded without any defin
ite result being reached.
The question of the cultivation of tobac •
co, which had been proposed for discus
sion at this meeting, was postponed until
next month, at which time Prof. S. S. Rath
von will read an essay on the larva of in
sects.
After a brief discussion, it was proposed
to dispense with the usual strawberry ex
hibition this season, and hold a horticultu
ral fair in September.
Prior to the adjournment Mr. Engle in
vited the members present to partake of
some strawberries which he had on exhi•
bition. They were of the President Wilder
variety, and very tine, though they were of
the second picking. lie also exhibited
some twenty varieties of seedlings. A few
other members exhibited strawberries, and
Mr. Stoner exhibited a specimen of native
wine and champagne cider. Mr. Shroyer
showed three or four specimens of the
coleus, very large and of rich foliage. lie
said that the reason why many persons fail
in growing this beautiful plant is because
they do not properly attend to them. They
should never be taken from the pot before
June, should have richeartb, and plenty of
water and light.
The meeting adjourned to the first Mon
day in July.
TETE House FAIR.—The Third Annual
Horse Fair of the Lancaster County Agri
cultural Society oomrdenced yesterday at
their grounds in this city. During the af
ternoon there were three trials of speed—
the first for a premium of $2OO. for Lancas
ter county horses that had never won a

The second race was for $3OO, for Lan
caster county horses that had never done
better than 2:40. Mr. MacGonigle's bay

the favorite and won the first heat, but be
haved badly in the second heat, and bolted
the track in the third heat-

The races will be continued to-day and
to-morrow. Full particulars will be pub
lished in next week's INTELLIGENCER.
FIRE AT KENNETT SQUARE.—OiI Wed
nesday morning last at an early hour, the
saw, turning and plaster mill of Joseph
McMillin, adjoining the railroad depot was
entirely destroyed by fire, and the adjacent
lumber-yard of Mr. G. W. Gawthrop, sus
tained serious injury. The railroad depot
and Pennoch's shops were in great danger,
but were saved by great exertion and the
favorable direction of the wind. There
was not much lumber or other materialsin
the mill at the time or the loss would have
been much greater. The mill property was
insured in the Kennett Company for about
$4,400, which hardly covers half the loss.
The loss of Mr. Gawthrop is covered by
insurance in the same company. The ori
gin of the lire is unknown. The mill was
a wooden structure, and was destroyed
some live or six years ago by fire. h.en
nettSquare has an adequatesupply of water
in pipes laid through her streets, with fire
plugs attached, but she has no tire organi

Brehm, son of Cyrus Brehm, of Manheim,
with several other young men, went to the
Chiques-Salunga creek at the railroad
