ENTICIISIASTIO MEETING OF THE DE•
HOORAGY IN THE EIGHTH WARD.—The
Democratic meeting at Diehi's Saloon, in
the Eighth Ward, on Tuesday, was unex
pectedly large and overflowing with enthu
siasm. The first of the campaign in this
city, it gave emphatic evidence that the
kreat Democratic heart still beats true to
its prine.ples, and thatthose principles will
be triumphantly vindicated and reestab
lished by Democratic votes on Tuesday
next.
• • .
The meeting was organized by the selec
tion Of the following officers:
President—George Wall.
Vice Presidents—Andrew Nueif, Michael
Dusel, Simon Scheid, Henry Schaum, John
Weaver, John Fox.
Secretaries—Benjamin Meyers, John
Hirsch.
George Nauman, , was the first
speaker. In a clear and forcible manner
he exposed the frauds and corruption of
our Radical rulers.-City, State and National.
His contrast of the respe . ctive characters of
our gallant soldier candidate for Mayor,
and his little note-shaving competitor was
anything but, complimentary to the latter.
Dr. Henry Carpenter was next introduc
ed amid great cheering. He said he was
not given to speech-making, though for
more than thirty years he had been an ac
tive Democratic politician, and bad at each
annual election during that time deposited
a clean Democratic ticket, without a scratch
and without a sticker. He intended to do
the same on Tuesday next,' and urged
every friend of his to do the same. lie
eulogized Col. Pyfer, our candidate for
Mayor as a brave soldier, an honest, up
right and efficient roan, in every respect
qualified for the position, and worthy of
the support of the people. He rebuked in
fitting terms the extravagance and incom
petency of the preach administration, and
called upon every voter within the Bound
of his voice to go to the polls on Tuesday
- next, and vote the whole Democratic ticket
—State, County, and City.
Loud calls being lhado Mr Colonel Py
fer, he took the stand, arid for a few min
utes poured hot shot into the ranks of the
enemy with the Marne zeal that character
ized hint when in front of the rebels at
Stone River, Shiloh, Chickamauga, and
other hard-fought battles in which be had
participated. lie assured his hearers that
he had !mule no promise of oflice ton( ir
Mtn CO a single individual in the city, and
did not intend to do HO; and that Rine should
Ire honored with an election, he would
fulfill the duties of the office of Mayor in
person, and not depute _them to another.
Mr. Pyfer then apoke iu (formal' for a few
minutes, but the terrible disease contracted
by him through long coutinemennt in a
rebel prison, prevented to front speaking
at any great length. II is voice failed, and
after a brief rev low of the delinquencies of
- the present city authorities, and a clear
refutation of the vile charges concocted
against hint by unscrupulous enemies, he
was obliged to leave the stand.
Steitz Jacob L. Steietz, Esq., followed CM
Pyfer. Ile passed over our city politics
without remark, mud devoted his attention
to the discussion of ?State and national af
fairs. In vigorous language he allowed up
the unparalleled frauds and poculations 01
the Grant arnd Geary governments, includ
lug the Evans embezzlement, the Hodge
defalcation, and many kindred rascalities,
and showed that, as a rule, the Republican
press and politicians ware the apologists 01
the criminals, and that the Democratic
party of New York, the Democratic press,
Democratic Judges and the leaders of the
party in the city and throughout the State
denounced the frauds of the Tammany
Ring which had been fostered by Republi
can legislation. Ills speech was strong and
rig6rous, and in a brief synopsis we cannot
110 justice to it.
lion. George Sanderson was next called
to the stand, and as this veteran Democrat
made his appearance. he was greeted with
most vociferous applause. Ho was sur
prised at the nunt hers present, and could
scarcely tell where they canto from. If the
nutnbers present, and the spirit evinced,
was an earnest of what 010 Eighth Ward
would do on Tuesday next, there could be
no doubt of the triumphant election of Col.
l'yfer, and a redemption of the city front
Radical Misrule. Ile discussed the finances
of the city, and the fearful enlargement 01
. the city indebtedness, which had been
nearly doubled within the two years of the
present municipal government; showed
the workingmen how their interests were
jeopardized by this increased indebtedness
and increased taxation which must neces
sarily follow and which every poor man
omit put his hand in his pocket to pay ;
and especially the tenant, whose increased
rent was etude the means of paying the
taxation or the property holder. AI r. San
derson was proud to say that he had been
a voter for forty years, and in all that time
had never voted anything but a Democratic
ticket, never scratched u name, or failing
to labor for the success of the entire ticket.
fie assured them that he would do the same
now, and he conjured every, Democratic
voter of the city to deposit a clean,full ballot,
on Tuesday next, and victory,full and,com
'dote, could not fail to perch upon the Dem
ohratic banner. His remarks were receiv
ed with enthusiasm, and could not fail to
exercise a telling effect upon all who
lis
toned to them.
11. G. Smith, 17. n., was then called to the
stand, amid the life and drum interval, and
commenced by an anecdote, as told by ex
U. S. Senator Allen, of Uhio, Illustrative of
his inability to make himsell heard, oven
with his good lunge, above the music. He
bad not come there to make a speech, but
simply wished to add a word of exhorta
tion to the addresses'to which he had Its=
tuned. lie paid his respects to the present
City Government, and exposed the reck
less expenditures which had been made of
the funds. As in contrast with the prom.
ises of improvement upon the streets, he
showed the miserable scratcbings of gravel
to which the municipal authorities had re
sorted, as a last resort, borrowing money
for the purpose, without the least show 01
authority, for the purpose of gaining a few
votes for the Radical ticket. lie showed
the Radical party of to-day to bp the K now-
Nothing party of the past; and that the
same dark-lantern, secret•and proscriptive
policy was now to be pursued toward our
adopted citizens, whom they are pleased to
iiiisiguate pot bellied Dutch and bog.trot
tingfliish, as was pursued-in 1533 and '54.
lie alluded to the ininduet of the police
under Radical rule, and enumerated in
stances fresh in the minds of his luarerslot
the manner in which they had acted in a
brutal and tyrannical manner. He assured
the people that no such misconduct would
be tolerated under Cul. Pyfer, w•ho would
attend to the duties of the office in person
mid not by proxy. lie praised Cul. Pyfer
for the proper stand he hid taken in re
fusing to Make promises to applioadts for
°Mee in advance, and that his
administration would be so independent
and so efficient, as to command the com
mendation of every good citizen.. His
tribute to the worth of Col. Pyfor, and his
defence of his character from the gratui
tous and malicious assaults of the Express,
was tellingly effective. As a palpable, liv.
ing lie to the charge that Col. Pylon was ir
the receipt of a government pension, with.
out being entitled to it from physical dis.
ability, Mr. Smith alluded to the facts o
Col. Pyfer's services in the army, in de.
fence of his country : his capture at Chica
mauga; his long and dreary languishmen
in Libby Prison, where he was prostrated
by serious illness ; and to his very appear
ance upon the stand that night, with the
racking cough, and other indications of
physical weakness, which-, compelled him
to conclude sooner than he could have
wished, as evidence, at once conclusive
to every man, that he was entitled, if
any other soldier was, who suffered in
the aruiy, to the petty sum per month
which he receives in common with his
comrades in arms, who were alike unfortu
nate. Mr. Smith introduced a few amus
ing anecdotes as illustrative of Radical in
consistency and impudence, and concluded
with an earnest exhortation to pemocrats
to do their duty on Tuesday next. If they
but did that—voted the entire State, County,
and Municipal ticket—there would be se
cured such a triumph as would cause a
shaking among the dry bones in the Radi
cal camp.
A song, full of local hints, and abound
lug in humor as *ell as much musical ex
cellence, was then sung by Mr. Pontz—one
verse being sung in German—which was
received with immense favor by the crowd.
Three cheers were then given for the Dem
ocratic ticket, after which the large crowd
quietly dispersed, more than ever impress
ed with the importance of laboring for its
ugcess, and with a determination to secure
a victory on Tuesday next.
RADICAL MEETING IN THE EIGHTH
WARD.—The Radical politicians, scared.
almost out of their boots, by the out-pour
ing of the Democracy of Cabbage Hill, on
Tuesday evening, determined to get up a
counter-demonstration to undo the dam
age .whieklad been done the cause of Reed,
plunder and usury. All their emissaries,
including the letter-carriers in the post
office, the pollee-force, the several candi
dates for office, and the office-holders gen
erally were consequently instructed to
spread the glad-tidings that there would
be a grand sauer-krout lunch,and free beer
for everybody, at Ehrisman's Saloon, at
the junction of Vine and' Strawberry
streets. Our reporter, having an eye to
the machinations of the enemy, and being
rather partial to good sauer-kraut, and not
particularly averse to free beer, was punc
tually on hand. He found there assem
bled the Mayor de facto and the Mayor
expectant, surrounded by the office
holders and office-hunters, and half a
dozen curious Democrats, who had been
attracted to the saloon by the prospects
of a good mess of sauer-kraut. The lit
tle note-shaver, whose fiead was crowned
with a very high stove-pipe hat, which
added vastly to his stature, was bowing and
scraping to those present with unwonted
affability. Everybody 'Thus! take a drink
with him—and everybody did. 'Not know
ing what to say or do next, the would-be
Mayor proposed another drink .all round,
I which was unanimously agreed to. After
an embarrassing pause of considerable du
ration, during which the "assemblage"
shuttled uneasily about the half-filled bar
room and cast longing eyes towards the
table, upon ,which the krout and speck was
expected to appear, the landlord frankly
acknowledged that he had been so jovially
entertained during the day by some good
fellows down town that he entirely forgot
to, go home and prepare the krout for
lunch! This honest confession raised a
laugh, and although some of the more
hungry office-hunters smacked their
chops in disappointment, they were put
into reasonably good humor by the smiling
countenance and ready wit of "his honor,"
who proposed "just one more to our
friends." Our reporter, like 13arkla,
w
'' and, after a temperate indulgence,
ventured to ask his honor if there was to
be no oration to the " assembled masses."
e Mayor at first thought not, but finally
n consideration of the many services ren
ered his administration by the ISTELLI
consented to deliver his valedie
aninioneed by frankly acknowledg
ing that Ittihad increased the city debt some
$30,000 or $40,000, but claimed that the new
pump and whet I put into the City Water-
Works was a full equivalent fur that debt
lie compared the city to a poor man living
in a one-story house, that is too small for
his Increasing family, and contended that
the man would be perfectly justified in
running into debt by adding another story
to his dwelling, and thus contributing to
his comfort ; but his honor seems to forget
that he who builds without counting the
cost, is very apt to see his two-story house
handed over by the Sheriff to the note
shavers, whereas he might have got along
tolerably well in ono of more humble pre
tensions. Ills honor also frankly admitted
his habitual absence from the Mayor's of-
line, and defended it 011 the ground that it
was no part of his duty to be there; that
the :Slayer was not necessarily a nomina
ting magistrate, and that if lie had a
clerk to attend to that branch of the busi-
ness, nothing more could be required of
him. lle said that the salary paid to the
Mayor was insufficient to warrant a man
of business like himself or his friend Reed,
to devote their whoie time to the duties of
the oflice to the neglect of their private af
fairs. Ile said that " anybody " could per
form the duties of committing magistrate,
and intimated very plainly that if Reed
was elected he would pursue the course
followed by his " illustrious predecessor,",
and instead of attending to the duties in'
person, would continue Recorder Evans in
themagislerial position he bus for some time
—graced.
e :Mayor's speech was from first to
last a weak defence of his administration
against the many serious delinquencies
charged and proved against it. his state
ment that by absenting himself from his
office he could have more time and better
opportunity to keep an eye on his police
force and render it more efficient, can only
amaze all who aro in any degree acquaint-
d with the doings of that delectable body
if officials. It is but just to say, however,
that the Mayor had not one single word to
say why Col. F. S. Pyfer should not be
elected his successor. His speech, unlike
the insane ravings of the editors of the
Express contained not one unfavorable al
lusion to our gallant candidate for Mayor;
nay, more, from first to last, he never even
alluded to either the County or State can
vas. He seemed to feel that the task of
advocating the fraudulent set-up County
Ticket of our Radical ringmasters or the
State ticket of the Cameremiap treasury
thieves, was one which he could not and
would not undertake, and hence, in char
ity, he said nothing about them.
During the Mayor's speech a party of
" sauerkrout guerrillas," sitting at one of
the tables on which the lunch was to have
been served, had an exciting game of
.. .seven up," which was so closely contest
ed that several of the spectators took more
interest in it than they did in what his
onor was saying. How the game term
nated we do not know, as our reporter left
the saloon as soon as he ascertained
that Mr. Reed would not make a speech.
Parties who remained say that although the
beer flowed " free for all " until a late hour,
the Rads finally left'tbe field convinced that
no impression can be made upon the un
wavering Dethocracy of the 6th Ward.
ATTEMPTED SCICIDE.—Great excitement
was created on Tuesdaay booth o'clock, in
the vicinity of East King and Middle streets
by the erratic and violent conduct of Henry
Stamm, who resides at No. 335 East King
~atreet. The whole neighborhood was
alarmed by the screams of his family, and
hurrying to the scene to learn the cause as
certained that Stamm, in e fit of passion had
upset the supper-table, broke the dishes
and struck his wife violently with a chair,
severely injuring her. The woman and
her children fled from the house for their
lives,and took refugeamong the neighbors, I
Stamm in thp meantime swearing he would
hang himself. Nobody paid immediate at
tention to the throat, and ho at once went
up into the garret of his house and put it
into execution. His wife, fearing he would
do himself harm, soon prevailed upon one
of the neighbors to look after him. Iledid so,
and after looking through the lower part of
the house without seeing anything of him,
ascended to the garret and there found him
hanging..by the neck to a rafter, by a short
piece of rope. Calling lustily for help he
tilted Stamina body and kept him from
strangling until the arrival of Frederick
Dingleberger, who cut him down in a con
dition more dead than alive, much to the
disgust of the would-be suicide, who want
ed to be " let alone." He was taken charge
of by his friends, and after his paroxysm
of anger had subsided seemed very sorry
for what he had done,
This is the second attempt of Stamm to
tike his Own life. About a year ago he
hung himself to a tree in his yard, but was
discovered in time to prevent the suicide.
ft is but just to say that,ordinarily, Stamm
is a sober, industrious man, a kind hus
band . and father, and a good neighbor,
but occasionally, on the slightest pro-
vocation gets into uncontrollable fits of
passion, which are supposed to result
frominjuries he received some yoars ago
when a team of horses ran away with him,
and besides breaking his leg fractured'his
skull and injured the brain. His rage last
evening seems to have been occasioned by
his not being able to immediately lay his
hand on a book he was looking for. We
hear be went to work as usual next morn
ing. Measures should be taken to prevent
further attempts on his part to do violence
to his family or himself.
CRUSHED TO DEATH.-A bright little boy
named Willie Weaver,'aged between six
and seven years, a son of Wm. Weaver, of
Lampeter, was crushed to death by a heavy
field-roller, on Wednesday morning. He
and his brother were on their way to school
and:had come within sight of the school
house,
when they met a Mr. Rhoads haul
ing a heavy field-roller, with one horse at
tached. Mr. R. saw that the little fellows
had an inclination to jump on the roller,
and cautioned them not to do it. Willie,
hdwever, , took no heed of the warning and
jumped—alighting upon the cross-piece,
which tilted and - threw him under the
horse's feet, and in front of the roller. Be
fore Mr. R. could stop the horse the roller
passed over the entire length of the boy,
crushing him to death almost instantly. The
whole community thereabout's filled with
gloom at the sad affair, while the father and
tamily of the unfortunate child are almost
distracted.
AD.TOMINED MEETIICO.—An adjourned
meeting of citizens in favor of having the
beershops, cigar•ahfips and dram•shops
closed onSunday,was held in the Orphans'
Court Room on Thursday, to hear the re
port of the Committee appointed-I:m.lSW
urday evening to ascertain the eTtent of
the Mayor's authority towards the sdppres
sion of the evils complained of.
About fifty persons were present at the
meeting. Mr. D. W. Blssel was called to
the Chair, and Chas. G. Beale appointed
Secretary. The Chairman called upon the
Committee for their report, when Mr. J.
D. Pyott stated that Marriot Brosius, Esq.,
Chairman of the Cornmittee,had drawn up
a report which he and the speaker bad
signed, and it was understood that Mr.
Warfel also would sign it, but that gentle
man on more mature reflection had de
clined to do so. Mr. Pyott was unwilling,
therefore, to present the report as that of a
majority of the Committee.
Mr. Warfel said the report had been
shown him and he had at first thought of
signing it, as he endorsed almost all that
Ras in it, but on a closer examination of
its contents he concluded that it was not
such a report as he would like to sign,
Dir. Pyott would not present the paper
as the report of the Committee. Neither
Mr. Shank nor Mr. Bauch had seen it;
still , he had no objection to having it read, it
the meeting choose to hear It.
On motion it was read as follows :
To the Cilizems' Meeting of the City of Lan
caster
GENTLEMEN : Your committeeappointed
to examine and report on the jurisdiction
and power of the Mayor in the matter of
preventing violations of the Sabbath laws
in our city, beg leave to report as follows :
It Is the duty of the Mayor to be vigilant
and active in causing the laws of the Com
monwealth and the laws and ordinances of
the city to be executed and enforced there-
in.
To this end he is clothed with Jurisdic
tion over violations of said laws and ordi
nances, so far as Le is cognizant of the
same.
He has the power to command his police
constables to make complaint to him, or to
a magistrate, when any violation of the law
comes under their observation.
And where he has just reason to appre•
hend a violation of the law, he has the
power and authority, if in his judgment
the preservation of the public peace and
order demands it to withdraw his police,
constables, one or more of them, from their
usual place of duty, and direct them to re
pair to the vicinity of such apprehended
violation, and to report to him the result
of their observation.
The foregoing is believed by your Com
mittee to be the extent of the Mayor's ju
risdiction and power in the matter in re
ference to which they were directed to re
port.
Respectfo Hy submitted by the Committee .
M. Bitosirs,
J. D. PYOTT.
Mr. Black regretted that the Committee
had failed to sign the report, which he be
lieved expressed the opinions cf this
meeting, as to the powers of the
Mayor. As far as itgoes it declares that the
Mayor has ample power to prevent the
almost constant desecration of the Lord's
day. Ile may not have authority over the
constables, but the report sustains the po
sition that he has entire control of his
police force, and can order and direct these
officers to take proper means to prevent
the violation of the Sunday laws, and dis
uiiss them for neglect of this duty. It is
alleged that there aro open violations of the
law and desecration of the Sabbath in all
parts of the city, which must come under
the obeervation of the police if they are
reasonably vigilant. It was eminently
proper therefore that the candidates
for Mayor be requested to give a satisfac
tory pledge, that if elected they will use
all the - authority they possess to suppress
the truffle in liquor on the Sabbath day.
Such a pledge could do harm and might
'do much good. He proposed the adoption
of the following resolution:
Resolved. That a Committee of three
members be now appointed, whose duty it
shall be to respectfully address the candi
dates for Mayor and ascertain in writing
whether or not, in case of their election.
they or either of them will use the police
powor vested in the Mayor to enforce the
laws requiring a cessation of all worldly
employment on the Lord's Day—the Com
mittee to publish the replies received, and
in case of no reply being given or a nega
tive answer being returned by Saturday
of the present week, the said Committee
shall submit such recommendations as to
them shall seem prc7er to meet the case.
Mr. Black could // think of no better plan
than this to accomplish the reform sought.
It is trite the Mayor elect takes an oath to
enforce the laws with fidelity; but the can
didates may not be aware of the provisions
of thelaw, or of the state of affairs com
plained of. Let us, therefore, ask them the
question, will you, if elected, enforce the
laws for the observance of the Lord's Day ?
and see that there is no dereliction of duty
in that respect on the part of your officers?
It has been urged that it is the duty of citi-
zens, as well as officers, to look to the en
forcement of the laws ; but we elect public
officers to attend to that matter; we are
taxed to pay for their services; they are
our paid and appointed agents, and should
not therefore thrust their duties back upon
citizens. In conclusion, Mr. Black stated
that the Express report of his remarks, on
Saturday evening, so far 119 they related to
the Mayor's sending his police force to
prevent Devlin from speaking, was incor
rect. He had made uo such remark, and
had no intention of reflecting on the con
duct of Mayor Atlee.
Mr. Geist, in justice to the reporters,
stated that his recollection of the affair was
that, Mr. Black had stated substantially
what the reporters bad attributed to him.
Mr. Pearsol was sure he felt as much re
gard for the Sabbath day, and as much in
terest in its proper observance as any one
present; but thought this was not the pro
per time to attempt the inauguration of a
reform. We could do as much or more
after the election than before. Candidates
will not feel like compromising themselves
now ; no matter what their answer might
be, the politicians on both sides would
make a handle of it. Let us wait until after
the election, and then let a committee of
prominent and inlluential citizens wait
upon the Mayor elect and ask him for re
lief, and give him assurance of their hearty
support.
The matter was further discussed at con
siderable length by Messrs. Black, Hus
ton, Bissel and others.
Mayor Atleethen,on invitation of Mr. Hu
ston, took the floor.and after vindicating his
administration from the charges of neglect
of duty which bad been made against it.
and assuring his bearers that he had dune
all he could du for the enforcement of the
laws—the Sunday laws as well as all others
—he said he was willing to answer all prop-
er questions which might be propounded
to Wm.
The meeting took him at his word, and
for about an hour he was put through a
regular catechetical course. All kinds of
questions, smile of them rather knotty
ones, were asked and frankly answered by
the Mayor—the general drift of his an
swers being that tha Mayor and his police
force have not the power to prohibit the
sale of liquor on Sunday ; have no right to
enter premises where there Is no disorder,
on the mere suspicion that liquor is sold ;
and that,of hisown personal knowledge, he
knew of no violation of the Sunday laws,
though he had no doubt they were repeated
ly violated. As au excuse for his personal
ignorance of any violation of the law, he
said be generally spent the greater part of
Sunday at home with his family ; and in
defence of his policemen he argued that
there were entirely too few of them, and
that:their labors were too onerous to make
them as efficient as they would otherwise
be. He believed that if gentlemen were
half as zealous in the cause of reform as
they pretended to be, and would prosecute
the violations of the law which they allege
they are cognizant of, much good might be
done; but the almost universal custom is
that the men who complain most loudly of
a violation of the law are the least willing
to prosecute the violators, or even appear
as witnesses against them.
Mr. Geist in general terms endorsed the
views of the Mayor, and opposed the
adoption of Mr. Black's resolution, which
he said could result in no practical good.—
What was wanted was just a little nerve
on the part of citizens themselves, A
healthy public opinion must be created,
which will induce us to assist our officers
in the enforcement of the law, instead of
accusing them of infidelity. He did not
believe we had ever had a Mayor who had
wilfully neglected his duty or violated his
oath. He proposed to strike out all of Mr.
Black's resolution except the word " re
solved" and insert the following:
That the Chairman of this meeting be
autboi ized, at his discretion, to call a Mass
Meeting of the citizens of Lancaster, favor
able to the enforcement of the Sunday
laws, to consider what means are necessary
and expedient to secure the same.
The amendment was agreed to and the
meeting adjourned.

THEM YSTIC BROTH ERHOOD.—A placard,
bearing the startling words—" They Come !
They Come! Beware! Prepare!" attracted
the gaze of early pedestrians, and set afloat
a thousand questions, stories and surmises,
on Thursday. Some thought it her
alded another New York Ledger sensation
al story. Others read " Ku-Klux " in every
letter, threatening interference in the elec
tions ; while still others somewhat face
tiously observed, that it was a warning that
Arthur P. Devlin was about to return and
revenge the slights which were put upon
his earnest Radical labors. It was general
ly understood, however, that the Mystic
Brotherhood was to have a parade; and
from 9 until 10 o'clock, the neighborhood
of their hall, Centre Square, was besieged
by a crowd of the curious. At that hour
they came, each one bearing a torch, wear
ing a long black robe, mask and cowl.—
They formed a circle in the Square, where
the Grand Sanbedrim, or Master of Ceremo
nies, lit a fire of peculiarly Satanic flavor
which sent up a red and blue flame, to the
amazement of some and tlie amusement of
the many. The scene re-called that of
Macbeth's witches, in their devilish incan
tations, and it only needed the boiling caul
daon, with the
"Bubble, bubble, toll and trouble,
Fire burn and cauldron bubble,"
which imparts such a pandemonium as
pectti3,the scene, to complete the picture.
Had such a procession made its appear
ance in the South, Grant's whole military
force would have been in hot pursuit of
Ku-Klux, every darkey would have turn
ed pale with fear, and taken to the cane
breaks, forests and lagoons. , Our Mystic
friends, however, are peaceable chaps, com
posed of some of our best citizens, and no
danger is to be apprehended either from
their meetings or midnight parades. They
paraded our principal thoroughfares, bead
ed by a band of music, and throughout the
line of march attracted many a jusienile as
well as adult gazer, many of whom had
previously sought their pillows for the
night. They returned to their hall about
midnight, and quietly dispersed.

A VICIOUS HORSE.—Mr. Samuel Cum
mings, residing near Pleasant Grove, Lan
caster county, is the possessor of a horse
that has for many years been noted for his
vicious habits, having at one time (about
four years ago, we think,) bitten a man's
arm offal Port Deposit. Since that time the
horse has passed through different hands,
Mr. Cummings purchasing him some
months since. On Saturday week a gentle
men from this borough took dinner with
Mr. C., after which they walked to the barn
to look at the horse in question, and upon
inquiry regarding the present habits of the
animal,the owner remarked that be had him
under perfect control, at the same time
stepping carelessly up to his bead and com
menced petting him. In an instant the
horse took a powerful hold of Mr. Cum
ming's forearm, shaking it and rearing and
striking at his victim with his fore feet.
The companion of Mr. C. at once seeing the
terrible situation of affairs, and not seeing
any weapon at hand, struck the animal a
powerful blow on the head with his fist.
This had the effect of stunning the animal
for a moment, when Mr. Cummings, with
a herculean effort, withdrew his arm from
the horse's mouth. The arm was fearfully
crushed and almost black, causing the
most excruciating pain. A physician was
of course summoned, and everything done
to relieve his sufferings. Shortly after, a
brother of Mr. Cumming's proceeded to
hitch the horse to a sulky, and while bring
ing him from the stable he caught at his
arm but fortunately did not get a firm hold.
He was then muzzled, and when he found
he was foiled from further injury to his
owners, he ground his teeth with rage,
evincing great anger.—Orford Press.
BARN BURNED.-011 Sunday afternoon
last, about 3 o'clock, smoke was seen issu
ing from the roof of the barn belonging
to Lewis Brown, at Wakefield, Lancaster
county. In a few moments the whole
building was enveloped in flames, and in
an hour's time was totally destroyed,
In addition to the loss of the building,
which was a fine, substantial one, are the
contents,consisting of hay, wheat, oats and
cloverseed, straw, grain -fan, corn-sbeller
and harness. The building was insured in
the Southern Mutual Insurance Company,
of Lancaster county, for $1200; of this
amount, according to the rules of the com
pany, will be paid. The loss over and above
the insurance will amount to at least thir
teen hundred dollars. After great exer
tions the adjoining out-buildings and
dwelling were saved, together with the
live stock in the burning barn. It is not
known how the fire originated—Mr. Brown
and his family being absent at the time.
THE RAILROAD MEETING AT OAK HILL.
—There was a large turn out of the stock
holders and friends of the Oxford A. Peach
Bottom Railroad, at Oak Hill, on Saturday
afternoon, the 'Slat. According to the state
ment of the President, $55,000 had been
subscribed on this side of the Susquehan
na. It was decided by resolution, to raise
the subscription list to $72.000, and when
ever $BO,OOO was obtained the road would
be located. Additional stock to the amount
of $l,BOO was subscribed at the meeting by
those present, making- the total amount
subscribed $58,000, or lacking $3,400 of be
ing enough to insure location of the road.
It is to be hoped that this sum will be se
cured inside of the next ten days. A com
mittee of thirteen was appointed to endeav
or to obtain the desired amount. The said
committee will report by Friday, Oct. 13th,
when there will be a full meeting of the
Board.— Oxford Press.

The maxim that the voice of the people is the voice

but the testimony of honest and enlightened witnt,es
extending through a series of years, and all to the

Meanwhile, the progress of that Incomparable tonic
