Every week some new affliction has been Ltrought to bear upon the gayety here, and one alter another of the villas has been made desolate. "Fair Lawn," where the finest entertainments have heretofore been given, was bereft of its mistress, Mrs. Mor ton, very early in the season. The little colony of Clitf Cottage was shocked and saddened by the sudden ending of Airs. Henry B. William's fair young life. Mrs. Wm.

Kentucky More Thoroughly Demo entitle Than Ever. Grent 'Victory In St. Louis CINCINNATI, Aug. B.—Further Kentucky returns show a Democratic majority of from 20,000 to 25,000. Fifty-five thousand negroes voted for the first time but they were unable to break the solid Democratic column. Not a singly Radical candidate in the State was elected. LoussvlLLE, August 13.—The official re • turns from eighty-four counties give Leslie (Gem.), 110,442; Harlan (Rep.), 74,124; Leslie's majority in these counties, 50,319. The full returns from the State will proba bly make Leslie's majority in the neigh borhood of 4000. In the counties given, Leslie gains 5,391 on the vote of Stevenson (Dem.) in the last gubernatorial election. and Harlan gains 50,317 on the vote of Bak er (Rep.) in the last gubernatorial race.— The Republican increase is attributed to the enfranchisement of the colored people. [From the Loulsellle Courier-Journal, Aug. 12.1 The heading of oar telegraphic despatch es the morning after the election was pro mature. Leslie has suffered no loss from Stevenson's vote in 1068. tin the contrary, ho has gained. Governor Stevenson re ceived, in round numbers, 114,000. From the returns before us we now think that Governor Leslie has received 125,000. This is enough to satisfy the most enthusiastic Democrat, not only in Kentucky but all over the country. The truth is, that Ken- Dicky was never more thoroughly Demo cratic than she is to. day. The increase of General Ilarlan's vote over that east fur Governor Stevenson's opponent, :1 years ago, was mainly caused by the votes of the pewees. The returns or the election are coming In freely, and there are enough already to show that the Denim:sidle majority will be much larger than was at first expected.— Leslie's majority is over 34,000 in the fifty nine counties from which we have complete returns, find the counties yet to come will swell it to the frties. The vote is unusu ally large, and Though the comparison which we make beti.veen this and the pre vious gubernatorial election shows a lulling oil in the Democratic majority of over 43,- 000 in the fifty wine mutates, it will be seen that the vote for Leslie is almost invariably larger than that for Stevenson, and that, in stead of being weakened, the Democratic ',arty of Kentucky has been nude stronger by the active canvass and prodigious efforts of the Republicans. We take the vote of Gar comparison, because there has been no full poll since that time, and the seem ingly Inel showing which it nukes in the mailer of majorities is easily accounted for when Ste tem...Wet . that since 'OO the en franchiseinctit of the negroes hits created •10,0 en new VOll,, nod that these hare heel' given to the 111 her side.

N RD RIOT AND MOB I t "'order of 'ln,. ill bile Citizen. Frantt hirt, Kentoeliy.--The Itinttiender nod Another Felon Ilona by it Abwilanee Committee 'F' rankfort correspondent ofthe (Ky.) Ledger writes LO that paper an account of the Ole. Lion riot at the lirst named city on the ith instant, together with the subsequent proceedings, of which meagre mention has already been received by telegraph. The writer says: 'All day long the blacks in great num bers infested the vicinity of the Market street poll. From early morning until late at night they crowded the precinct, yelling • in the most delimit and unrestrained man ner in the faces of white men, pushing them from the sidewalks, jeering and insulting them at every point, and using every effort to bring on a collision, in whicln, from their far superior numbers, they hoped to tri umph. The rioters were led by four or live reckless men. More than half ofthem were armed with pistols, wide!, they Ireely displayed during the day. Notwithstand ing: all these demonstrations, but few words were spoken to them by white flies, and a disposition to avoid a rupture was clearly umni rested. 'the whites were lUr ninrt, than the case required, and 1 dotibt if a like forbearance would lucre been man ifested in any other city in the The While:, gave way to them in the morning, uttering no obstacles to the free suffrage during the whole day. They were allowed to carry out their plan of putting their strength in early, and only after the negroes had all, or nearly ail, voted did the white men go up to east their votes. The negroes, after voting, remained at the polls all day, but the whites—a large majority of them— es scion as they voted went hack to their cur: or EN ED A few minutes after seven o'clock, when the polls were closed, and just as the up trail. Irom Louisville arrived, the first blow was given and the first shot tired by the negro. 'I he train passed ininiediately through the crowd, separating the whites front the blacks, and for a moment or two creating a cessation. No sooner,however, had the train arrived at the depot than a general rush was made by the uegroes in the direction of the little squad of whites assent bled ()lithe writer. Shots were tired, bricks and stones were thrown furiously, and a general tight ensued. Though vastly superior in numbers, and much more perfectly armed, the blacks were driven down Market and out Ann street itnmediately after they hail dis charged their' first : loads. A negro named Henry Washington was the murderer of poor 11 illitore. lie fired born the north side ~r Ann street directly at l.i ilinore, as he seas leaving the crowd to go to the depot. lie load entered the crowd in the 'mist pacific spirit, urging the no gross kindly, and with the best intentions, to go to their homes and not seek a distur The bullet reached his heart, and he fell dead without a groan. Alec this murder, Washington directed his pistol at the crowd and emptied every barrel. A whits man, marking hint as he fired the first time, drew his pistol and discharged every load at the wretch. The distance was about thirty yards, and it was thought at first that Washington was not touched, but it was afterwards diseovered that three of the balls took effect, 000 on the left side of the head, above the eye, one ill the groin, run ono in the leg. Air. Bishop wily shot in a very few sec ends sifter Gilmore fell, the ball coming from a different direction. Ile also died immediately. The negro who murdered hint was recognized by several parties, but up to the present time has not been arrested. Washington and one or two others of the ringleaders were arrested and placed in jail last ;light. The officers are still in search of several others who were identified. qlliLa a number of whites were slightly wouniled, both with bullets and bricks. It is not known 3-et him' many; neither is it ascertained how many blacks were wound ed, though it is certain that live or six re (mired injuries, some of which aro serious. lletween 1 and 9 o'clock this morning, a party of disguised men, numbering about one hundred, made their appearance at the jail and forced the jailor to deliver to them the negro who ravished a white woman last week, and also Ulf , rioter Washington. There were several other negroes wait were participants in the riots then in jail, but they were not demanded, and the party marched off with the two specified. They proceeded very quietly—scarcely a word was spoken—across the bridge to South Frani:tort, where they hung both Ileum, to one limb. 'l'lle bodies remained hang ing until after S o'clock, when they were cattdo wit anti removed in wooden coffins to the Con rt- house, where hundreds of peo ple have been to view them. The negroes in large numbers have visited them, both at the place or execution and at the Court house. There is much remark in this etimmuni ty concerning several speeches made to the negroes by Radicals just prior to the elec don. It is said the language employed was highly incendiary and calculated to excite the blacks to riot and bloodshed. To-day the city is comparatively quiet, and there is no prospect of a further out break. In justice to a largo majority of the Re pultheans, I must say that they are equally as much incensed at the outrages commit ted by the negroes as are the Democrats,— Many of them armed themselves yesterday with a view to espousing the cause of the whites should the conflict have been con tinued. Even the Federal soldiers, who, at the command of Gen. Hint, were kept all day in their camp, knowing the nature of the disturbance. and fixing the responsi bility of riot whore it belonged, were anx ious av individuals to take part with the whites. Fortunately they were in no man ner connected with the disturbance, and their behavior was such as should charac terize men in service and under good dis cipline. They have acted like true soldiers throughout and much credit is due to lien. Flint and his staff and line officers. Fatal A ffrny CINCINNATI, Aug. 14.—The St. Paul's Press, of the 12th, says: An outbreak took place on Friday at the junction of the Lake Superior and North ern Pacific Railroads, in which John (Jur rill, a Sheriff, was dangerously shot. It is supposed the trouble originated in the suppression of the liquor traffic along the road. Two suspicious charac ters, W. B. Wright and John Smith, of Menominee, Wisconsin, were ordered by Sheriff Wade, of Tretnbeleau county, to surrender, and the Sheriff was answered by a volley of shots. Wade then shot Wright through the head, killing him in stantly', and also wounded Smith. They were suspected of being concerned in:va rious rbbberfes. ' A DRIEADFDL DEATJA.. A Baby Dies of Hydropbobia;—An Awful Case--The Child Tears Its Clothing and Barks Like a Dog. [From the Chicago Republican, August 9.] A little eon of John McGinnis, an em ployee at the Stock Yards,died last Satur day morning of hydrophobia. The age of the child was one year and nine months.— The ease is a somewhat singular one, and therefore we give it with some particularity of detail. Very few cases aro on record of the fearful complaint attacking one so young. The position taken by certain au thorities that the disease is simply of the imagination is here proved to be untena ble. An unreasoning infant, just begin ning to prattle, is not likely to be so dis turbed by the fear of imaginary physical trouble as to be in this manner hurried out of the world. The child was bitten a little over a month ago. The mother had one day seated it on the ground at the back door of the house, when a large Newfoundland dog belonging to a butcher named Shuler, living in the neighborhood, came suddenly rushing up to the child and bit it. No one about the house had seen this animal previously. Three ugly wounds were inflicted upon the tender infant by the ravaging animal —one at the side of the left temple, an other between the eyes, and the third on the top of the head near the edge of the hair. The brute showed every symptom of madness, foaming at the mouth, snapping at every thing it passed, without stopping to vent its rage upon any particular object. The wounds upon the child soon healed, only one slight scar on the nose remaining. The matter laded from the recollection of the parents. Last Wednesday morning the infant began to show singular signs of irritation; and commenced tearing off its clothes, at the same time uttering low, wail ing cries, and complaining of thirst. But when water was offered to It the most dis tressing writhing of the jaws and convul sive movements of the lace and throat fol lowed. No one seemed at first to know the real cause of the trouble. The startled mother did all in her power to restore her infant to ease and quiet. Thinking it might be so tiering from the heat, she took oil sumo of its superfluous clothing. 'the wise women of the neighborhood gathered in and gave their diagnosis i,f the disease.— Sonie said the complaint was diptheria, and some said the poor little thing was teeth ing. All day Wednesday the little sufferer ex hibited the same symptoms, seeming, however, all the time to sutler inure acutely. It pulled and tugged at its clothing wmh such energy as to tear la the buttons, and threw its atrios about in the most agonized manner. This continued until Friday night, neith er the Mother nor the child sleeping. The inlaid took no nourishment during all this time, and when crater was offered went in to eteividsions, seeming to reject it with horror. Dr. W. W. hoodnian, living at the Rock Island car-works, was summoned on Fri day evening. Lie at, once told the grief stricken parents that their child was dying of hydrophobia, and nothing could be done to save it. 11 e administered morphia with out effect. The child was apparently in the last stages of the disease. hi its con vulsions it seemed endowed with preternat ural strength. The foam which issued from its mouth was stained with blood. It uttered an in cessant whine, which those about it coin. pared to the whining of a dog. Whenever ' the hands of those attending it approached its fa.e the efforts to bite were maniiestly canine. AlthougMbut just commencing to talk, it repeatedly uttered the word "dog" during the night preceding its death, as it it bad, somehow, in its diseased infantile Main, mysteriously associated the idea of its present sufferings with its being bitten a month before. At eight o'clock on Saturday, death came to the relief of the sufferer. From Wed nesday morning until this hour no nour ishment and not a drop or Water had passed its lips. The case is a peculiar one, :Ind should attract attention of the medical world. Seats iu Railroad Cars A Bostyn newspaper relates an incident of a man there who entered a rail car, and seeing an empty seat, asked the person who was occupying the one adjoining it if it was engaged, and notwithstanding he was re peatedly assured that it was, he thrust him. sell into it and retained " forcible posses sion.- Now that seems a very rude act, especially when there were other unoccu pied seats in the car. As , the counterpart of this case is witnessed almost daily at the starting and at the stopping of almost every railway train where additional passengers get on, it is welt to inquire a little into, and see if this rudeness is not the legitimate re sult of that most outrageous system of fib bing which is practiced every day in rail way cars in regard to seats being engaged. It is a common thing for travelers of both sexes to enter a ear, take a seat next the window, place a shawl or carpet-bag, or newspaper on the other seat, and then tell the next applicant that it is reserved or en gaged, and repeat the lib as often as appli cation for it is made, without apparently any compunctious of conscience. In view of this prevalent system of railway un• truths it is not strange if occasionally there should be one, who, having had his faith in such statements wholly destroyed, should take possession of an unoccupied seat wherever he finds it. At any rate, we are certain of one thing, and that is that there ought to be a reform in this matter of " engaged" or "reserved" seats. It there is not, we are afraid, if the words of the Good Book are true, there are some who carry their heads pretty high now in the moral world. who will have a feat ful reword to face.—Pht him. I,qt/cr. What Oar. Geary Think , . of Gnu " Perhaps Grant don't like my position on the 'bayonet question,' but I can't help it. As the Governor of this Common wealth, I wait bound in my message to al bide to that, and to condemn the action of the General Government in using the ma rines at Philadelphia du ring the election of last year. I don t believe in that policy, and I can never he made to believe in it.— Ilad 1 the power I would give the South universal amnesty. Then I would say: You are put upon your good behavior. Hold your elections in your way. Elect your own candidate , . Let the election be conducted fairly. If you are not able to maintain order, let your governor or your Legislature call upon me, and I will back them with the whole strength of the Gov ernment. I believe that would have done more to secure peace than anything else.— You can't govern the people with the bay onet. Whenever it comes to that, the Republic is a ilure, and ice had better confess it. Better have filly light+ at the !mils than to have the bayonet there." A Mon Seeks Death for boving eallo I•nnv n P lied Rainrny Tie A middle-aged man was arrested and locked up in the station at Newark yester day for offering a punched ticket on the S o'clock train on the New Jersey Railroad. lie was subsequently bailed in the sum of nOO for his appearance at court. The ac cused is a man th, t hitherto has borne an excellent character, and has been in bad health for some time past. lie seemed to feel keenly tie position in which he Wee placed, and stated to his bondsman that it was his intention to commit suicide, to which the latter replied, "No you won't ; now don't do anything foolish, but go home and keep quiet." Soon after lie was met by his wife below the Centre street depot, and when questioned as to where he was I going, told her lie was going to drown him self. Fearing that he would carry his threat into execution she prevailed upon him to aeconipany her home.

Lute N MI from South America There is later news from South America. Advises from Valparaiso, Chili, to July Ist report a prospect of permanent peace with the Araucanian Indians. The Indian chiefs seers said to have declared allegiance to the Chilian tlovernment. A proposition was before Congress extending the term of the President to six years and forbidding his re election. The ehilian laborers in the Pe ruvian mines were leaving to work upon railroads, and serious consequences to the mining interests were iinticipated. The customs duties had decreased ,'55110,111.10.

Tlie war-ships had been disarmed and or dered to send part of their niachinery ashore to prevent their sailing to other parts in case of a revolution. The effect of this was to prevent their returning the sa lute of a Russian War vessel. The cap tain demanded an explanation of the in sult, and was told of the disarming. The people were dissatisfied with the Govern ment po icy on this and other points. The Inventor of Fruit-Canning - Found in Pennsylvania, It is not generally known that the art of preserving fruit in cans had its origin in tiettysburg, as the resta, of the experi ments made by the late Professor Jacobs, in the Winters of 18.15 and 1646 prove. Knowing that meats had beeu long preserved in cans,. and referring the preservation of fruit by means of sugar to the action of the syrup in excluding the air, he contended that a better and more economical application of the same principle might be made. Re ducing the fruit to a pulp, or surrounding it with a sufficient amount of liquid to fill up all spaces, the air was expelled by rain ing the heat to the boiling point. The cans being then filled, and soldered so as to be air-tight, the experiment proved - a perfect success. Communicated at first to a few of his friends,tbe art was rapidly made known, so that in three years' time it had spread to all parts of the country. Ohio Democratic Campaign Opening CoLumnus, Aug. 11.—General Thomas Ewing, Jr., delivered, this evening, the opening campaign speech for the Ohio De mocracy, in the coming contest for Gover nor. The speech mainly discusses finan cial issues. He says the Democracy of Ohio propose that the General Government shall furnish all money of the people, in an issue which shall be a legal-tender equally with coin, for all public and pri vate debts whatsoever, except where the contract expressly calls for specie, and with it redeem the five-twenty bonds; and to prevent an undue expansion of the cur • rency, issue three per cent. bonds, which shall be exchangeable at par for legal-ten ders at any time, and into which legal tenders may at the option of the holders, at any time be converted. Fire-Tamp Explosion—One Ilan Milled and Slxteen"lesprisoned nenhad the Kass of Fallen Rock, Who Are blather Dead or Likely to be so Before They Can be Beached: - Pirrarort, Pa., Aug. 11—This morning, about 8 o'clock, an explosion of fire-damp occurred at the Eagle Shalt, at this place, owned by Jesse Schooley and leased and opera a, t twentyd b m Alva en T a u t m w p o k r ln Ih e in ei m e ea were t the time, sixteen or seventeen 'of whom were at work on a new gang-way, where the explosion - took place. The shock tore away the brattlee work and props, and caused the roof to fall and the sixteen victims are imprisoned behind the mass of fallen rock, with no means of escape until the debris can be cleared away from the front. One man named Benjamin Davis, who was at work outside of the new gang way, was instantly killed by the explosion. The others working about the mine escaped uninjured. The men in the. new gang way are most likely dead, or will be before they can be reached. PrrrsTmv, Pa., Aug. 15.—The names of the persons who perished in the ruins yes terday were Evans Jones, Benjamin Davis, Thomas Legshorn, Richard Owen, James Morgan and Son, David Harris and Son, David Owen, James Jones, Robert Hughes, Benjamin Williams, John Morgan, Edward Owens, Thomas Reese, Martin Mangan and John Reese. Some time must elapse before the bodies can be reached owing to bad air and the vast amount of debris to be removed. At 9 P. M., only the bodies of Benjamin Davis, Evans Jones, Thomas Legshorn, James Morgan and David Har ris had been brought out dead. A majority of the volunteers_ have come up much ex hausted by bad air.

The police started in purauit of Frank and Anita, but did not succeed in arresting them. They learned, however, from Mr. Immel and others, that the three bad been traveling together, and begging from house to house, saying that they wanted to get to Harrisburg. Prior to the quarrel between them, Callahan bad bought a quart of liquor from Immel, who had to go into the cellar for it, and as he was descending the cellar-stairs the fellow tried to follow him and had to be driven back. After leaving the house the party went to a neighboring shed to eat and drink, and soon afterwards quarreled as above stated.

Joy National Bank. Not having one Mr. Reynolds wrote a check and stamped it for him, which he filled up with $335 drawn in the name of John Snyder, and payable to the order o f John Sheaffer. This check he took to tile Farmers' Bank, endorsed it, and asked to have it cashed. The bank not knowing the parties declined to cash it. Hammer then called at the sale stables of Longenecker ,t droll, and after talking horse for awhile, asked Mr.! Longenecker to cash the check. Longenecker said he had not the funds to do so, and referred him to Groff, telling Groff that Hammer was good for the money. Groff, how ever, declined to cash the check ; when Hammer said he could get the money at the bank if one of them would go along with him and identify him. To this request Mr. Droll - acceded, and accom panied him. The officers of the bank were willing to take the paper if Mr. Groff would also endorse it. This ho did, and Hammer drew the money.

FATAL A coniENT.-Wed nesday afternoon about 2 o'clock, as Jacob Kurt; a very re spectable and well-known farmer, residing mar Mechanicsburg, Leacock township, was assisting a tenant in felling a large tree, he met with an accident which result ed in his death. It appears that in felling the tree a large limb had been broken off, unobserved, and lodged in the top of an other tree some GO feet high. Mr. Kurtz had placed a heavy stick of wood under the trunk of the fallen tree, and was in the act of carrying another for the same purpose, when the broken limb, which was directly over his head, fell and crushed him beneath it, breaking the scapula and collar-bone and inflicting severe internal injuries. Ile was carried to his house and Dr. J. 11. Weidler summoned, who did for him all that was possible to be done; but his injuries were beyond the reach of the surgeon's art. he lingered until about 7 o'clock in the evening when death relieved him of his sufferings. It is somewhat re markable that Mr. Kurtz has, on several previous occasions, narrowly escaped acci dental death. Once he had a hair-breadth escape on the railroad ; at another time the lightning struck within a few feet of him and shattered the porch upon which he was standing; about a year ago, in the Ex change Hotel, this city, he was accidentally shot with a pistol in the hands of his nephew, and would no doubt have been killed had not his well-filled pocket-book received the bullet, and prevented it from entering his breast. Mr. Kurtz was about GO years of age, and leaves a wife, four children and a very large circle of warm friends to mourn his sudden death. BuksTING off A GaiNnsToNk.—A mau named William Johnson, was severely in jured on Wednesday about 9 o'clock, by the bursting of a grindstone, weighing over 3J!00 pounds in the cellar of Blickender fer's foundry, corner of Duke and Chestnut streets. It appears that Johnson had re cently erected the stone for his own use, and at the time of the accident was at work upon it for the first time. Ile was seated on the wooden " horse" above and behind the stone which was driven by steam pow. er, and was running at the rate of 400 revo lutions per minute, when suddenly it broke into three fragments weighing over half a ton each, tearing the woodwork by which it was surrounded into a thousand frag ments, and carrying the horse upon which Johnson was sitting almost up to the (Til -1 ing,ke falling to the floor among the debris and receiving an ugly cut above the eye, and on one hand, besides being injured in ternally. One fragment of the storm was thrown entirely across the cellar, and corning in contact with the heavy shaft of a large east-iron wheel, broke and over ' turned it. Another fragment was thrown against the opposite wall, and the third re mained iu the wheel-pit. A workman named Levi Landis, was standing beside the wheel at the time, but escaped without any other damage than a bruised leg. He picked up Johnson and dragged him from out the ruins and sent for Dr. Atlee, who was promptly on the spot and dressed the man's wounds and conveyed him to his residence in West Orange street. His ex ternal injuries are not very severe, but the extent of his internal injuries is not yet nown. DEATH or A FORMER RESIDENT. — Wm. J. Marchbauk, of Seaford, Delaware, form erly proprietor of Uak Hill, Lancaster county, was so severely injured on the 3d inst., by jumping from the cars on the Delaware Itailroac,near Cannon's Crossing, that he died in 30 hours afterwards.

DEATH OF How. BENJAMIN CHANti.wsis. Benjamin Champneys, one of our most eminent and highly esteemed citi zens, died at his residence in East Ring Street on Wednesday, aged 71 years. Mr. Champneys was the son of an eminent physician of New Jersey, and was born in that State in the year 1800. His ancestry was of the highest respectability, but his father, dying young, lett, but a small estate ,to be divided amongst several children.— Judge Champneys came to Lancaster in his boyhood, having left Princeton College before he graduated. He entered the law office of Geo. B. Porter, Esq., in whose charge he bad been placed by an uncle, Rev. Mr. Jones, then of Norristown, Montgomery county, Pennsylvania. He was admitted to the Lancaster Bar in 1818, and soon made his mark among the young lawyers of that day, and rapidly attained legal practice and political in- ' fluence. In the year 1825, he was elected to the State Legislature, where he took a leading position on account of his unyield ing hostility to all jobs set-up for plunder ing the State Treasury. In 1840, he was appointed by Governor Porter, Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Lancaster county, which office he filled with credit to himself and to the satisfaction of the bar and the people.. In 1842, after a very ex citing contest, be was elected to the State Senate from the district compose! of the counties of York and Lancaster, his popularity overcoming the heavy ma jority of the opposition party. His Senator ial career added greatly to his already high reputation as a lawyer and a statesman. At the end of his term he resumed the practice of law iu this city, and followed his profession successfully for many years. He always took an active part in politics, although he never sought political prefer ment, the offices he held being rather forced upon him. During the unfortunate differences which occurred in this county between the friends of 'Jou. anan and Hon. Lewis Cass, Mr. Champ-p nays espoused the cause of the latter, but gave to Mr. Buchanan a cordial sup port, after his nomination as President, iu 1850. In 1800 he supported the Douglas wing of the Democratic party, using all his influence to secure the election of the Illi nois statesman. At the breaking out of the late civil war he allied himself to the Republican party,and was In 1863 elected by that party to the State Senate, serving one term of three years. Sonie time after hip return to Lancaster, he became broken in health, relinquished his profession and re tired to private life. For a considerable time past he has been an invalid, and on Wednesday passed quietly away, respected and lamented by all who knew him.

After ar riving at the grove, Rev. Mr. Drepperd, Lutheran Pastor of the Charge, addressed the school on Ecclesiastes, chap. 9, v. 16. lle spoke of the importance of children doing good deeds, and of the rewards which follow such a course of life, and of the pun ishments which evil doers will eventually sutler. Children can all do good—and they should do it energetically and cheerfully. The speaker gave many incidents and fine illustrations to impress the truths which he was inculcating. After the address, dinner was taken in the grove. It was really amusing to see the many groups of persons, all through the grove, with moth er earth for a table, dispatching with keen relish the abundance of good things provid ed for the occasion. From dinner till 2 o'clock was spent in social enjoyment, and happily did these two hours glide away.— At 0 o'clock the scholars were all taken to a table and treated to ice-cream, cakes, .Cc. This part of the proceedings was amazingly enjoyed by the little folks. After this, the scholars and people re assembled in front of the speaker's stand, when they were again ably addressed in German, by Rev. Mr. Drepperd. His theme was the duties of parents to the Sabbath-school. Ile han dled the subject with marked ability and energy. At the close of his llerman ad dress, he entertained the scholars with some appropriate remarks in English. The Reverend gentleman, among other fine qualities has the the rare laculty of enter taining children, and seems to be doing a noble work in his charge. P. W. Brehm, also addressed the assemblage. He gave sound argument in favor of Sunday schools. Be was followed by B. D. Danner, of Mannheim, who addressed him self principally to the scholars. They were very highly delighted with his remarks. The exercises were enlivened throughout with singing by the school, and music by the Liberty Band. The band, though lately organized, is already playing lonely, and is running quite a reputation. After these exercises, the time was spent in various social pastimes, greatly to the amusement of the participants and the lookers-on, until the setting sun warned the people homeward. The speaker's platform was finely and extensively decorated with ever greensand flowers. Thirty one were dis played. Ezra heist, Superintendent, and George W. Harpel, Thomas Ruth, and others whose names I. did not learn, de serve praise for the able manner in which they conducted the school. This celebra tions was very largely attended, was a suc cess in every respect, and will no doubt, be fondly remembered by the participants for many years to conic.

The walls are pearl color, the ceiling a delicate peach-blossom tint, and the wood-work grained walnut with oak panel work. A heavy crimson and black ingrain carpet covers the chancel and aisles. The furniture of the chancel is solid walnut, oiled and waxed, and consists of a richly carved pulpit, mounted on a small plat form, and a communion table to corre spond. The communion table is a gift of lion. Joseph B. Baker, as a memorial of his father, the late Frederick D. Baker, who was for many years an honored mem ber of the Vestry.

Dr. Muhleuberg had charge of the parish in the order in which they are herewith named. The church building is now ono of the handsomest in the county, and as the remaining debt is very small, the Vestry hope that the spe cial collection to b made on Sunday next will entirely liquidate it.

Neither of the horses made as good time as their owners antici pated Dave being a little out of sorts and refusing to sweat until after the third heat; while Topsy was not driven with as much skill as she might have been. The friends of both horses are confident not only of winning the race, but of greatly reducing the time in the coming trial.
