WAsEttIiGTON, August 7.—Mr. William
P. Wood, late Chief of the Secret Service of
the Treasury Department, publishes a card
to-day severely assailing Secretary Bout
well. Ho was fur a long time in a position
to know the secret workings of the depart
ment, and he threatens to publish a pamph
let in which, he says, he will prove the fol
lowing facts:
Final.—That there are millions of dol
lars of government bonds which have been
or are now in daily progress of exchange
and redemption, while the true owners are
receiving the interest due on said bonds.
The identical bonds on which such Interest
is being drawn have been redeemed or ex
changed by the government tinder Secre
tary Boutwell, as also his predecessor,
through the connivance of unscrupulous
bankers and ignorant and corrupt officials
of the government, by erasures and ficti
tious numbering of ;genuine bonds, the re
sult of which will be that the creditors of
the government will either have to suffer
the loss of their bonds or be relieved from
loss by some special act of Congress, in
which case the government will be the los
er of thousands and thousands of dollars
on the article of registered bonds alone.

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

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

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

There were several other negroes wait were
participants in the riots then in jail, but

There is much remark in this etimmuni

negroes by Radicals just prior to the elec

was highly incendiary and calculated to
excite the blacks to riot and bloodshed.

as much incensed at the outrages commit

An outbreak took place on Friday at the
junction of the Lake Superior and North

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

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

more to secure peace than anything else.—
You can't govern the people with the bay

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.

tenders may at the option of the holders,
at any time be converted.

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.

"WHAT WE ENOW ABOUT FARMINO."—
The local editor of the INTE.LLIOENCER
took from his garden to-day a stalk of corn
containing two oars, the largest of which is
11 inches long and well-filled. The total

14 feet 10 inches. From the bottom of the
stalk to the base of the lower ear is 6 :feet
8 inches, and to the top of the upper ear,
8 feet 8 inches. We have placed our best
bat on the top of the tassel and challenge
any of our editorial brethren, including
the great and good Horace Greely, of Tex

iLo cal :intraigienct
MAYHEM• AND• ALLEGED :ROBBERY. —
A hard -looking customer, calling himself
Cornelius Callahan, was taken to the May
or's office by Constable McCutcheon to
Thursday. He was minas a nose, and stated
that a mom named Frank, (he didn't know
his last name) bad bitten it off on that
afteinbon during a squabble they had had,
on the Harrisburg Pike near Immel's
Tavern ; and that a woman whom he called
Anna had assisted in beating and robbing
him of some $62. 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. Frank is described by those who
saw him as an ill-favored young man,
while the young woman is said to be not
bad-looking, but very dirty. After the
fight the three started off together, but soon
separated, Frank and Anna coming in the
pike towards Lancaster, and Callahan turn
ing off towards Itohrerstown. He reached
this city about 6 o'clock, was met in West
Orange street by Constable McCutchon,
and taken to the Mayor's office and given
lodging in the lock-up. On Friday morning
after the robbery of .Mr. Neff had been an
nounced, an account of which is given
elsewhere, it began to be suspected that
Callahan and Frank were the men who had
robbed him, the more so as the amount of
money lost by Mr. Neff corresponds with
the amount Callahan says was taken frcm
him by Frank. Callahan was detained for
a further bearing of the case, and the police
are meantime looking after Frank.
A. FORUM-11%—On Saturday, July 25th, '
a num calling himself John Snyder, but
whose real name, it is ascertained, is B en r y
K. Hammer, called at the office of S. 14.
Reynolds, Esq , to retain his professional
services to assist in settling up his uncles
estate, saying that the parties interested
would call upon him in a few days m have
the necessary papers prepared. having
finished that part of his business, he asked
Mr. Reynolds for a blank check on the Mt.
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. In due course the check
went to the Mount Joy Bank, was return
ed protested, that institution knowing noth
ing about it, or the parties by whom it
was signed. On the discovery of the
fraud, Constable Baker set to work to cap
ture Ham m er, and.after scouring the north
ern townships of this county, and the ad
joiningtownships of Lebanon and Dauphin
succeeded in finding his man and bringing
s,
him to this city on Thursday. He wa taken
before Alderman Wiley, and, the .ffive
facts having been elicited, he was in de ult
of bail committed to prison.
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 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.

which the celebration was held. 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.
RE-MODELLED AND RE-OPENING. — The
Protestant Episcopal Church of St. John's,
Pequea, having been remodelled and reno
vated, will be re-opened for Divine Ser
vice, on Sunday morning, August 20th, at
half-past ten o'clock. The pulpit end has
been handsomely decorated by Chas E.
Wise, of this city, and the walls and wood•
work have been painted and grained by
M. E. Ferry, of Penninghuiville, Chester .
Co. 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. The improvements re
flect great credit upon all concerned, and
especially upon the corn in ittee having
charge of them, Messrs. Joseph NV. Wago
ner, John Mason and S. Baxter Black.
This old parish dates back to the year
1720, and has been served by several of the
former rectors of St. James' Church, in
this city. Rev. Joseph Clarkson, Bishop
Bowman, and Rev. 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. The entire im
provement has cost over $l2OO.
RACES AT THE PARK.—Arrangernents
have been fully completed fora second trial
of speed between the two favorites, Dave,
of Lancaster, and Topsy, of Heading,. They
will go on Wednesday, the 23d instant, at
the Lancaster Agricultural Park, on the
same conditions as before—that is, for a pre
mium of $l,OOO, mileheats, best three in live,
to harness. The former contest was a very
close and exciting one, Topsy taking, two
heats and Dave three. 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.
ON A VlSlT.—lsaac Sharp, Esq., a form
er resident of Bart township, Lancaster
county, is now on a visit to his father in
law, Mr. Thomas Armstrong, residing near
Bartville. Mr. Sharp is now one of the
prominent lawyers of Kansas, is Mayor of
Council Grove and editor of a Democratic
newspaper published at that place, entitled
the Council-Grove Democrat.

SALISBURY ITE3I9.—On Friday evening,
July 28th, Mr. Christian Wanner's large
barn, on the Weiler place, was struck by
lightning and entirely consumed. Mr.
W eiler, the tenant, was fortunate enough
to get his stock all out, but his entire bay
and oats crop was destroyed ; also consid
erable portion of his farming implements
and machinery. He did not have any in
surance on the contents. The barn was but
lightly insured. Probable loss $3,000.
On Saturday night, July 29th, Mr. Z. B.
Williams, of Sadsbury township, had a
small barn burned by lightning, and Mr.
Andrew Stewart's large barn, at Penning
tonville, was destroyed in the same way,
on the same night. None of the above
buildings were protected by lightning rods,
but since the fires have occurred, it has
awakened our farmers as to the necessity
of a good, safe protector, in the shape of
rods, and the Pennsylvania Lightning Rod
Company, now stopping with, Mr. Worst,
at the Mansion House, hap, are busy every
day putting their popular rod on barns,
houses, storm, dm.
On August 3d Salisbury had one of the
largest meetings ever held within her bor
ders, and, besides the largest, one of the
most respectable, for out of the 3000 people
present, there was not one intoxicated man
on the ground. It was a mass meeting of
the Knights of Pythias, under the auspices
of Philos Lodge, No. Pet of White Horse.
Great credit is due the brotherhood of
Philos Lodge for the able manner in which
they conducted their festival and mass
meeting. The first object that attracted at
tention, was the Salisbury Cornet Band,
next the large stand 100 feet square,
where could be procured all the
delicacies of the season, front courteous
and obliging waiters. Next, but not least,
was the table set iii a shady retreat suffi
cient to seat 200 persons at once, and load
ed with good things sufficient to feed the
whole vast assemblage. After the dinner
was over the assemblage gathered around
the speaker's stand, which was plainly but
very appropriately fitted up. At half past
one, after music by the band, the meeting
was called to order with A. S. Villee, of No.
Ss, as President, and quite a number of
Vice Presidents de. After a neat little
speech front Bro. Villee lie introduced P.
C., W. J. IslacMullen, of Philadelphia, who
delivered a very fine speech, anti made a
favorable impression in favor of the Order.
Bro. MacNluilen is a good and pleasing
speaker, anti all present listened to him
attentively and were sorry that be had
not spoken lonizer. The band followed
with a piece of music, mid then the crest
dent introduced. I'. C., E. 13. Worral, of
Philadelphia, who delivered a historical
sketch M secret associations dating back
several hundred years before Christ. It
was very instructive to all amid was listen
ed to with profound interest. I3ro.Worral
was followed by Bro. D. P. Rosenmiller, of
Lancaster. After him I'. C., D. F. Morel,-
zy, D., of Philos Lodge, addressed the
meeting. Ile spoke very ably , for about an
hour—closing with a most beautiful version
of the story of Damon and Pythias. The
Doctor hey a line delivery and can take a
splendid speech, as lie most certainly did
on this occasion. While the speaking was
going en it could be heard all over the
ground. All loud talking was suspended,
and the best 0 order was maintained
through the afternoon and evening. At
ter Dr. Morenzy spoke the meeting ad
journed until after supper, At half-past it
o'idock it was again called to order, and
addressed by P. C. Win. Blanchois, of Phil
adelphia, and lire. W. A. Wilson, of Lan
caster. Both made very good addresses,
and at half-past 9 o'clock it wound up with
a torch-tight procession, all the members
of the Order going home happy with the
thoughts that their nest attempt at a MASS
meeting was a grand success. The speak
ers were happy in the belief that they serv
ed the Order with an advantage to it, and a
pleasant time for themselves. The Knights
of Pythias of this vicinity are honored by
all for their conduct and their meeting, and
parties who were heretofore opposed to us
aro now seeking admission. N.

TRoT E PARK. —There was rath
a slim attendance at the Park on Saturday
to witness the trot between Mr. Samuel

man's gray mare "Fanny Stoner." The
race was for $2OO, and was won easily by
the bay In three straight heats, the time be
-3:141, 3:15,.. 3121. The mare appeared to be
able to out-foot the horse, as long as she
trotted, but she broke so frequently that
she had no chance of winning. 'lie horse
is a square and honest trotter, and made
the three heats without a break, except a
skip or two while rounding the lower turn
in the first heat. There was very little bet
ting on the result.
