Felt Botinets, in gray or brown felt, are
very becoming and very appropriate. They
should be trimmed to match the dress, and
they Sire very valuable for ordinary wear.
The Hair; for ordinary purposes, is most
ly arranged in a French twist, surrounded
by heavy braids. The front hair should be
arranged a /a Pompadour, or in a braided
coronet.
, Bridal Veils are of tulle, three and a half
yards along, reaching to the bottom of the
train, and having a three-inch hem, with
cording of silks. They should be round
ing at the corners.
Moves, of delicate tint, are preferred to
white. for evening wear. They are in light
primrose or lilac. The long gloves of last
season are out of vogue, but the long wrists
are still worn under bracelets.
For Boys, the skirts of plaid suits are
made plain' in front, and trimming down
the centre, either with rosettes or buttons.
The jackets are somewhat loose, extending
over the hips, and exposing to view a vest
beneath. Older boys wear the usual quit
of jackets, vests and trousers.
Neckties are worn with all the collars, as
now worn. The variety is great, and the
least skillful cannot fail to select from the
styles, which are beautiful. The most in
demand are of crepe de chine, or silk serge,
either hemmed or frineed, worn carelessly
In a sailor knot or a bow. Some are of rich
ribbon, and are very pretty.
In Furs, the Astrachan sacque la most
In demand for comfort and service. Al
though not appropriate for full dress, it is
very stylish and beautiful. Tho finer
sacques are double-breasted, with a rolling
collar, end lined with coney fur. Some
are lined with heavy quilted silk, and
many have a border of long goat's hair
fringe. With the sacque, a roan& muff
generally comes.
Enameled Jewelry, once scr much worn,
has boat its precedence, and is only used as
a setting for precious stones. Coral is still
a great favorite, the rich tints being so be
coming to brunettes,while the lighter colors
are equally becoming to blondes. Coral
Jewelry is always beautiful, but especially
se when mounted With diamonds or pearls,
and set in dead gold. Cameos are still
quite fashionable, and come In elegant de
signs.
Male, ial3 of At fl Wool are now knurl' in
demand. They are beginning to be highly
appreciated, and justly so, as there is a
gracefuilleSS about them which adds much
to the general appearance. Of all woolen
materials, cashmere is preferred. This
style of goods Is never unfashionable. It
comes in rich deep colors, that are very at
tractive as well He becoming. There is a
novelty called faille cashmere, which is
made of silk find wool, and reppod. This
collies altogether in black, and is much
used for overdlresses and trimmings.
Far Oul•Door Comlustes.—Cashinere is
much worn over a silk underskirt. They
are braided with line Notanelte, - with fringe
or gitipure lace. Bands of cashmere, with
narrow silk edging, are sometimes prefer
red, as being inexpensive, and easily kept
clear of dust. These mote ones en, IN urn
with skirt and overdress in contrasting
colors. The reigning odors in cashmere
are dark green, plum, brown and gray.—
Young ladies wear many pretty combina
tions of odor. Black silk costumes are al
ways fashionable, and are ever stylish and
admired.

striped, ore much employed. For evening
wear, trains are much shortened, while for

Jenloufty nod Murder
The Ilazel ton 6'entinel tnak es mention
of a serious affair, in which jealousy was
the prompting cause, having taken place a
few evenings ago.' A young man and
woman, among oth rs, attended a dancing
party at Buck MFrom some
cause or other a falling out bad taken place
between the two, and she refused several
invitations to dance with him, at the same
time indulging freely in the gay festivities
with a cousin who was present. The tem
per of the young [nail finally got the upper
hand of him. and he invited the young girl
outside. representing that, lie had some
thing of i mpor mice to communicate. She
consented to his request, and went out of
doors, when the brute drew forth a knife
or razor and cut her throat.
Singular Attitude for Women
The attitude of the Mormon women in
the current legal ex oloituros in the Terri
tory of Utah is somewhat peculiar. While
the law is seeking to relieve them from a
shameful condition, to which circum
stances have condemned many of them,
twenty-live hundred of them unite in dis
patching it petition to the President, pray
ing that polygamy—to call it by this llama
—be not abolished. Is it possible that re
ligious bigotry—if we may so term it—has
so changed the female nature in Mormony
that these women desire a system which
their sisters in all other civilized commu
nities not only view with horror, as a so
cial custom; but which they are disposed
at all times, to combat fiersonally, as the
most serious Wrens() to them individually?

Local gintelligencr
FIRE! FIRE! FIRE I—There seems to be
a disposition on the part of one or more In
cendiaries to lay oar city in ashes. With
in the past two weeks, the Poor Mouse
barn, Schwebel's and Tomlinson's stables
and Steinman's and J. J. Evans' barns
have all been burnt to the ground, and the
crops and mach valuable stock destroyed.
Attempts have also been made to fire a
number of other buildings, mostly in or
on the line of the Seventh Ward.
We mentioned on Wednesday that an un
successful attempt had been made on Tues
day night to fire the barn of Mr. R. A.
Evans, on the Old Factory Road, in the
Seventh Ward, the incendiary being shot
at and driven off by Mr. Lorentz, the
tenant in charge of the farm. On Wednesday
about 7i o'clock, a second and successful
attempt was made to fire the same premis
es. A watch was being kept by Mr.
Lorentz and Wm. Best, but at about the
time above stated, they went for a few
minutes to the house, and on returning to
their post, discovered a large volume of
smoke bursting from the corner of the
barn nearest the road. While they were
watching the barn, the incendiary must
have been watching them, and took advan
tage of their temporary absence to accom
plish his infamous work. Being filled
with hay, straw, cornfodder and other in
flammable material,All efforts to save the
building were futile, and it was soon en
veloped in flames, and burned [clashes. A
few yards to the southeast stood another
large, new, slate-roofed, frame barn.—
The fire communicated to it, and in
a few minutes it also was in flames
and burned to the ground. Sixty. feet
further to the southeast stands the dwel
ling, a substantial stone building. As the
wind blew the sparks and flames directly
towards it, it was for a time in great dan
ger, but luckily, sustained no injury. All
the live stock in the burned buildings was
saved. The new barn was worth fully
$3,000, and the lower one, which was set on
lire, was worth from $1,500 to $1,800.
There was in them about 400 bushels of
corn, 200 bushels of threshed oats, 30 tons
of hay, a large quantity of corn-fodder and
straw, and some valuable agricultural im
plements and harness. The whole loss will
perhaps reach $O,OOO, on which there is au
insurance of $3,000 or 9,000 In the Doe Run
Insurance Company; of Chester county.
For want of water the firemen were un•
able to do much service. The American
stearrisr took up a position alongside the
dwelling and pumped dry the rain-water
cistern, throwing a stream on the roof and
gable-end of the dwelling and adjoining
outbuildings. The Shiftier hose took the
plug on Factory Road nearest the tire, and
gave it to the Sun steamer. Both these
companies, and also the American, laid
down a single line of hose almost half
trine (?) In length, through which the Sun
st,anser forced a stream of water on the
smouldering ruins, and prevented the
flames from spreading. The other com
panies were sent home.
Just before the alarm of tire, a man was
discovered on Ann street, near the Chil
dren's Home, coming from the direction of
Mr. Evans'. lie was accosted and taken
into custody by Mr. C. F. Voigt, a clerk in
the IN•rnwouNrklt office,and Mr. 'Michael
Madden. The man gave his name as
Henry Kiehl, and on being asked where
he bad been, said 'rout here." Mr.
Volgt said that answer would not do, and
that he would not let him go until he
gave a satisfactory account of himself. The
fellow told Mr. Volgt he had no right to
stop him us he had done nothing wrong.
When pressed for an answer as to where
he had been, he said he was out at the Old
Factory darn setting outlines. Mr. Swenk
who resides near by, and heard the fellow
give his name as Kiehl, called out to Mr.
Voigt that his name was not Kiehl, but
Henry Al ushman. lie wee also recog
nized by Mr. J. W. Miller, who was in the
vicinity guarding his father's barn. The
fellow, however, still insisted that his
name was Kiehl. Bo was then taken to
the residence of Mrs. Rebecca Kline,
where several other parties identified him.
On being asked why he had denied
his name, he said that he was now
known by the name of llenry Kiehl.
On the solicitation of those who
wore acquainted with him, Mr. Voigt let
him go, and he had scarcely gota half dozen
steps away when the alarm of lire was giv•
on. Mr. Voigt tried to recapture him, but
Mushman being the fleetest footed escaped.
Mr. Voigt then went to the Mayor's office
and made information of the above facts,
when a warrant for Mushman's arrest was
made out and placed in the hands of Officers
Messenkop and Leonard, who found the
accused at the residence of his father in
North street,with a gun in his hands, guard
ing his father's stable ! He was taken before
Mayor Pyfer where he denied that be had
been setting outlines, and accounted for his
contradictory statements by saying that he
was subject to falling Ms, and that at such
times his mind was affected ; he had had a
that evening and supposed he had not
fully recovered when he denied his name
and made other misstatements to Mr.
Voigt. He defended himself with consid
erable ingenuity, and argued that it;could
not have been him that set fire to the barn,
as he had been fully fifteen minutes in cus
tody before the fire broke out. He was
locked up for the night. He Is a tall, raw
boned young man, apparently 21.1 years of
age, and of rather uncouth appearance.
At about midnight, officers Messenkop
and Lui z, arrested a young man named
Edward Sears, at his home Oil I he Old Fac
tory road, below Evans' farm, on3eharge
of being concerned in the burning of the
barns. Just before the tire he was seen,
in company with another young man,
running rapidly into town on Factory
Road, near Locust street. On passing
Thomas Walker's saloon, he was accosted
by Mrs. Walker, who is well acquainted
with him, and asked him If there was an
other fire. He said to her, "Oh, Lord,
Line, don't say anything about this." Al
most immediately afterwards the cry of fire
was raised. It is alleged that additional
evidence will be presented against him at
the hearing. Be also was locked up.
Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock Edward
Zeara and Henry Mushman, had a hearing
before the Mayor on the charge of being
concerned in the burning of the barns on
R. A. Evans' farm on Wednesday evening
!.ears' ease was first heard:
Mrs. Elizabeth Specht was the first wit
ness. bhe testified that on Wednesday
evening just before the alarm of lire, she
was standing at the door of her house, cur.
nor of Factory Road and Locust btreets,
when some men came running from the
direction of Mr. Evans'. One of them she
recognized as %ears, with whom she was
well acquainted, and asked him where the
lire was; he said there was no lire, and
when she said there was, and asked him
why he was running so, he said, " My God,
Liz°, don't say anything about this." lie
seemed much out of breath, was panting,
and held for sometime to a lamp post, and
finally went off up Locust street. Ile had
on at the times light-2olored suit of clothes.
When the alarm of tire was raised she
went into the house and told her husband
that sho believed Zears had set Evans'
barn on fire.
Christian McGinnis corroborated Mrs.
Spada us to seeing 'Zara running, out of
breath, holding by the lamp-post and say
ing, " Liza, don't say anything alma this."
Theodore Brown saw a man bolding to
the lamp-post at Locust street and Factory
Road, just after the cry of tire, and then
saw him run up Locust street towards the
Cork Factory. Recognized 'tears as the
man.
On part of the defence, Franklin Pickle,
who resides near the Old Factory testified
that Zears came to his house before 7
o'clock. and remained until 10 minutes be
fore the lire. Is confident as to the time,
because he had just come home to supper
and was eating when Zears came in.
Frederick Hildebrand corroborated the
above statement; was at Pickle's at the
time; and shortly after the alarm, went to
the tire in company of Zears.
Mrs. Walker, who lives a few doors front
Zears, saw the accused 10 minutes before
the alarm of fire. Recollects distinctly of
seeing him, for he asked her for a " ehaw
tobacco." She saw him again immediately
after the tire. lie could not have gone to
the barn, set it on lire, and returned in the
interval between the two occasions on which
she had seen him. lie was not flurried or
panting on either occasion; he was just
about as he usually is.
Columbus Rote saw Zears near Evans'
gate just before the tire ; saw another man
near the barn, with a small light, like a
segar ; supposed it was a watchman. Wit
ness walked on towards his home on Rock
land street, near the city limits, and when
near the toll-gate, three or four squares
from Evans', heard the alarm of lire. Zears
and witness had been into town together,
Margaret Pickle bad seen :Gears at Kel
ler's tobacco store, and he walked home
with her to Factory Row, and remained
theme until 5 or 10 minutes before the lire.
Barbara Hildebrand testified that Zears
was at Factory Row at the time of the fire,
and was among the first to raise the alarm.
A few other witnesses were called, bat
their testimony did not amount to much.
Nearly all the witnesses for the defence
testified that Zears wore dark clotheslthe
evening of the fire.
Counsel for defense moved for the dis
charge of the prisoner on the ground that
an alibi had been clearly proven. It was
impossible that the man with light clothes
on, seen by Mrs. Specht, could have been
Zears. He could not have left Picklels,
fired the barn, ran all the way to Specht's
and back again to Factory Row in ten
minutes.
Counsel for the Commonwealth denied
that au alibi had been proven. What
seems ten minutes to one person might
seem half an hour to another. Few men
take an accurate account of time , and the
difficulty remains that just at the time of
the fire, and for some minutes before and
after it, the whereabouts of the accused has
not been accounted for,
Mayor Pyfer said be thought the evi
dence against the accused isufficiently
-strong to warrant him in sending the case
before a jury. He would therefore hold
him in 11.5000 bail for trial at next Quarter
Sessions. In default of bail he was com
mitted.
The case against Henry Mnshman was
next called up. Mr. C. F. Voigt testified
to the facts of Mushman's arrest, which
were substantially the same as published
in yesterday's INTELLIGENCER.
4. W:Vilfer, fiWetfic and Michael
Madden Uorrdhorafiad Mr, Volgi.'s
motiy,
Geo. Smith testified to what took place
when Voigt and company took Mushmau
to Rebecca Aline's house. M nehmen lives
near the corner of Goose street and the alley
that runs southeast from the Duke street
schools to Green Lane. It would take a,
man fifteen minutes to walk from Mush
man's house to the place where he was ar.
rested. /
A few other witnesses were called but no
new facts elicited. .
For the defence, Henry Mushman and
his wife, the hither and mother of the ac
cused, testified that Henry ate his supper
at 7 o'clock and remained at home till half
paat seven ; that not more than ten min
utes afterwards there was an alarm of fire ;
that the distance from their house to Evans'
barn and thence to the place where Henry
was arrested, is nearly a mile, and that it
would be impossible for him to have gone
that distance between the time he left home
and the time of his arrest. They aleo testi
fied to his frequently having falling fits,
andthat at such times he becomes more
or less deranged, and that he had such a fit
on the day ol the fire.
Francis Doman testified to baying seen
him at supper at his father's house on the
evening of the fire, and saw him leave be
tween 7 and 8 o'clockdidn't know the
exact time; knew that he was subject to
fits, and sometimes got so crazy and wild
that nothing could be done with him.
Henry Doman testified to his frequent
lunacy, occasioned by tits. On one occa
sion he bad insisted that his name was
Frank Aucamp and not Henry Mushman,
and gave as a reason for changing his name
the fact that Frank Aucamp had cured him
of the fits. On another occasion be said he
owned the furnace, and was going there to
get the candy out of it; on being told there
was no candy at the furnace, he said the
stack was full of candy; he was suffering
from the effect of a fit at the time; witness
had known him to have nineteen fits with
in twenty-four hours; at such times be
acts crazy, and has sometimes to be tied
with ropes; he issenslble at times and likes
to work, but witness thought he was never
altogether sane.
His counsel asked that he be dischaged
RS there was not a particle of direct testi
mony against him, and the circumstantial
testimony was insufficient to make out a
prima facie case.
Mayor Pyfer said he would hold him in
the BUM of 85000 for a further hearing ou
Wednesday next at 10 o'clock. In default
of bail be was committed.
PAIIKESTIURG ITENIS.—On the evening of
November 4th, 1871, the employees of the

of valuable surgical instruments, as a token
of respect.
The following gentlemen were a coin
mittee appointed on behalf of the employees
of the I'. H. H:

elation of your qualities as a friend and a
physician, and now on behalf of the donors

friends and the boys of the Philadelphia
Division P. R. R., knowing that in your

the high honor conferred upon tne. May
the use of these instruments never be
abused, but with skill and judgment be the
means of relieving those who may unfor
tunately come under their treatment.—
Whatever our changes In life are, may our
friendship never be broken or these ties
severed, is the wish of him who now re
ceives these instruments of mercy.
At the conclusion of the Doctor's re
marks the company sat down to a choice
supper, prepared by Mrs. Latta and her
daughters', to which all the guests did am
ple justice, after which they adjourned to
the parlor, where Miss Mary Latta enter
tained the company by singing, led by
Mrs. Latta, making time fly swiftly. Mr.
H. P. Dunbar amused the company by his
sweet but powerful voice, singing "Home,
Sweet Home," and "Popsey Wopsey," as
sisted by the celebrated soloist, Capt. C.A.
Stern. U. P. Henderson and Wm. J. Latta,
son of the Doctor, also entertained the
company with a few choice songs. At a
late hour the guests dispersed well pleased
with their visit. SOLO.
A CoNsTrrtrTioNAL CONVENTION.—The
adoption by the people by such a decided
vote, of the proposition for a Convention
to revise our present Constitution, and the
holding of a Convention, will naturally
carry the minds of those among us who
recollect the scenes and incidence connect
ed with the election of delegates . in 1836,
and the Convention which followed back
to those days. The two parties in Lancas
ter county, were the "Harrison " party, as
it was called by many, General Harrison
being the candidate against Van Buren,
but the proper name was the " Democratic
Anti-Masonic Party." And the Van Bu
ren party was the " Democratic Party,"
but was called by the Anti-Masons the
"Masonic Party," as well as the "Federal
Party." Lancaster and York counties
composed one Senatorial District, and
elected three Senatorial Delegates by . the
following vote:
Lane. Tank. Total.
William Mester 6223 2006 8232
William Porter 622.5 2006 8231
Charles A. Barultz 6202 2007 8200
Isaac Girvin 4170 2916 7086
Benj. Champneys .4147 2913 7058
James Kerr 4140 2913 7053
Messrs. Hiester and Porter were from
Lancaster county, and Mr. Barnitz from
Fork county. Lancaster county alone
elected six Representative Delegates by
the following vote:
C=!
Jeremiah Brown 62225
Lindley Coates 6177
Dr. Richard E. cochran 6186
Joseph Konigmacher.. .. 6228
Henry G. Long 6197
Emanuel C. Reigart 6277
Samuel Keller 4119
Michael Sides 9130
John F. Steinman 9142
James Uirvin 4170
Richard 13. Heftier 9132
Dr. It. Agnew 4131
Of course the six first were elected by
over two thousand majority.
Of the whole eighteen candidates voted
for on the 4th of November, 1836,
but two men are now living, the
Hon. Henry G. Long, and John F. Stein
man, Esq. 'l'he Delegates to the 'Conven
tion were elected on the day of the Presi
dential election, November 4th, 1836, at
which Van Buren was elected President.
There is, however, one other yet living in
our county who was intimately connected
with tho Constitutional Convention, that
is, Col. Samuel !Shoch, of Columbia. He
was the Secretary of the Convention.—Ex

CARPENTER AICCLEERY'S FUNERAL.—
The funeral of Carpenter Mc°leery, a well
known printer,who died of inflammation of
the lungs on Sunday evening last, at his
residence in West King street, took place
Wednesday, from the Duke-Street Meth
odist Episcopal Church, of which he bad
been for twenty years a member. The
religious services were solemn and impres
sive, and the attendance of sorrowing
friends and relatives unusually large. Mr.
McCleery was a native of this county, but
emigrated with his parents at an early age
to Lancaster, Ohio. From thence he went
to Columbus, Ohio, where he learned the
trade of printer. About 1827 he returned
to Lancaster and became foreman of the
Lancaster Gazette, then edited by Hugh
Maxwell, Esq. In November, 1834, be
became associated with John L. Boswell in
the publication of the Lancaster Union.—
This partnersnip continued until April,
1835, when Mr. McCleery became sole pro•
prietor, in which position he continued un
til April, 1839, when A. H. Hood, Esq.,
purchased,the establishment. From that
time up to a few weeks before his death,
he worked at his trade in this city. His
health had not been good for some time
past, but within a week or two be seemed
much improved, and there were hopes that
he might be fully restored. A relapse how
ever, took place, which terminated fatally,
as stated above. His remains were inter
red iu Woodward Hill Cemetery.
M A M eio'rn VEGETATION.—J. E. Rush, of
Drumore township, has sent us a mammoth
beet, weighing 11 pounds and 9 ounces. It
Is so big that there was not ground enough
in the neighborhood to entirely cover it,
several pounds of it being compelled to
grow above the surface! Mr. Rush thinks
the man who presented the big beet to the
Strasbnrg Free Prom is a "dead-beet," and
must try again before he claims the right
to wear the champion beet belt,
Ex SheritY Frey, of the Exchange Hotel,
showed us last evening, four mammoth
radishes grown on his farm in Manor town
ship. The largest of them weighed 133
pounds, and the smallest 10 pounds. They
measured 20 inches in length and about the
same in circumference. He presented one
of them to Harry Kauffman of the Black
Horse, where it was cut and found to be
entirely solid and sweet. The others may
be seen at the saloons of Ed. Leary and Jack
Sides.
YORE COUNTY re John A,
Mewl, of York, and John McConkey, of
Peach Hottom, shot 40 ducks during one
day's gunning, recently.
On Thursday night last there was a
smash up on the Northern Pennsylvania
Railroad, near York, in which one of the
Pullman passenger cars was wrecked, but
none of the passengers were seriously in
jured.
Last week a boy about 10 or 12 years of
age, a son of Mr. David Fisher, residing
near Yocumtown, was caught in a thresh
ing-machine while engaged in driving the
horses. His clothes were torn from his
body, and his flesh from his knee up
was torn in a frightful manner.
HELD TO ANSWER.—The little boy, Al
phouso Marion, who, on the 20th of Sep
tember, stole a poney mare and colt from
the stable of Robert Rae, of Quarryville,
and brought them to Lancaster, and who
escaped arrest by running away, was cap
tured and taken before Recorder Evans,
yesterday, and held to bail in the sum of
$BOO to answer at Court to the charge of
horse-stealing. The boy is only about ten
years of age, and is said to be somewhat
of a kleptomaniac, his disease being attrib
uted to injuries received in the bead by
falling from a tree.
THE INFANTICIDE CASE.—Caroline Mow
ery and Mary Judge, had a anal bearing
before Mayor Pyfer, on Wednesday,at half
past three o'clock, on charge of infant
cide. A number of witnesses were
examined, whose testimony was conclu
sive. that Caroline Mowery was delivered
of a child two weeks ago; that she had
threatened to kill it as soon as it was born;
that she was waited upon in her sickness
by Mary Judge ; that the child cannot be
found, and that the accused have told
many contradictory stories about its dis
appearance. Bail was refused and the two
women were committed by the Mayor to
answer at Court.

into his possession, and which was intend
ed tope conveyed by post. The accused
had a hearing before U. S.. Commissioner
Craig Biddle, when he was held in $1,006
ball to answer at the November term of
the Court.
DUTIES 'OF' Sup/am - mom • DEFINED
Michael. R: Moore va. the lbw:ships of
Rapho and Wed Hernpfleid.—lt will be re
membered that on the 25th of November,
1886, on a dark night, while the plaintilf - e
team was crossing the bridge which apatite
the *Chiques, dividing the townships
Rapho and West Remplield, it broke down,
and the teamster, homes and wagon were
precipitated into the water, killing a valu
able horse, crushing the wagon and cip
stroying a large quantity of wheat. To re
ceive damages, an action was-instituted by
Moore against the townships of Rapho and
West I.tempfield. It was *shown that the
bridge was rotten, and that, if the ordi4Flyy
tests had been used by the supervisors, tit
d erects could easily have been'detected. Un
der this evidence the court charged that the
townships were liable—the question of neg
ligence being referred to the Jury. The
jury found .1P78.03 for the plaintiff.
On a writ of error, the bupreme Court
affirmed the judgment of the Common I
Pleas, and delivered an opinion defining
the liabilities and duties of supervisors.—
Its substance is embraced in the following
points:
1. Bridges are treated as the portions of
the highways which cross thom, and are to
be maintained and kept in epair by the
Supervisors of the township.
2. The neglect of the Supervisors to keep
them in repair, subjects them to a personal
liability; but does not lessen the primary
liability of the townships to those who suf
fer injury from their neglect.
3. What is negligence must depend upon
the peculiar circumstances of each case,
and is a question for the jury.
4. Great danger demands higher vigilabee
and more effectual means to secure safety.
. . _
5. Applying these principles here it may
be asked, what structure more important
in view of the safety of life and property,
can be well imagined than such a bridgeas
this, having a span of [illy-two feet, cross
ing from ten to twelve feet above the
stream, whose water is middle deep. The
accident itself is evidence of its important
character. The plaintiffs wagon was over
turned in the fall, the body crushed, the
load of wheat fell underneath it Into the
stream, and one of the horses was killed.
as remarked by our Brother Read—" a
bridge looks fair till it breaks down—it is
not like a pit which you can seeand avoid."
In practice, it is used up to the last mo
ment. Hence such a structure demands
constant vigilance to guard and preserve
it. Therefore when a bridge is old,
lurVing stood for the length of time
the timbers composing it are accus
tomed to last, and when it may be
reasonably expected that decay has set
in, ft is negligence to omit all proper pre
cautions to ascertain its true condition.
Nor will mere appearances in such a case
excuse the neglect. It is a matter of com
mon knowledge that invisible defects may,
and under such circumstances, probably
do exist—that either wet or dry rot may
have set in and not be visible, and there
fore should be sought for. But no one of
ordinary intelligence would think of seek
ing for an unsound and invisible defect by
merely Inspecting the surfaceof the wood,
This being the case, it Is clearly the duty
of the supervisors, having thus reason to
believe that defects may exist, to call to
their assistance those whose skill will en
able them to ascertain the true state of the
structure, and determine the question of
its safety. Without doing thin much at
least, their duty to the public is not per
formed; not to do it, is therefore negligence,
and this Is the point on which the case went
to the jury. There Is, therefore, nderror in
the submission.
COLUMDIA ITEMS.—On Tuesday evening,
about six o'clock, the oldest daughter of
Simon Weaver, residing on Cherry street,
between Third and Fourth, was carrying
a coal-oil lamp, when a younger sister ran
against her, knocking the lamp out of her
hands and breaking it. Her clothes took
tire, and she was badly burned about the
face and upper part of her body.
Great excitement existed a few days,
(but has somewhat abated again) on ac•
count of the rumors that the email-pox had
broken out on " Tow Hill," in a very vi
rulent form, and that some half-a-dozen
families were down with It. These rumors
have proved untrue to a certain extent.—
The only case in town that we know of is
J. Straus, in Union street.
Some of the citizens, but the women in
particular, have been very much alarmed,
in consequence of the rumors that anony
mous letters have been found threatening
to burn the town.
• . • .
The School Board has purchased 3-100
worth cf Philosophical, Astronomical and
Electrical apparatus for the use of the High
School, the greater part—the remainder
not being ready—has arrived. This will
enable the teacher to better illustrate the
sciences. . .
Considerable improvement is going on
in different parts of town, but particularly
in the northeastern. Chestnut street has
been graded up to Fifth, and all the lots
on both sides sold as far up as the street is
graded, and some above. The coming sea
son, many of them will be built upon.—
There are at present eleven two-story brick
houses in course of construction in the up
per part of Walnut, and several in Chest
nut. This will be the most beautiful par
of the town. S.
GEOnatrrowN LYCEL;3I.—A regular meet
ing of this association was held on Thurs
day evbning, October 20th. The Lyceum
was called to order by the President, D. M.
Eaby. An interesting selection was read

ness." Questions referred from last meet
ing were answered by several members.—
The Committee on Questions handed in a
number to be answered at next meeting.
The reading of the paper "La Stella," by
its editor, E. P. Moore, was the most in
structive and pleasing part of the evening's
entertainment.
A spirited discussion was listened to on
the resolution, that parents should be com
pelled by law to send their children to
school. This resolution was sustained by
G. Knox, and opposed by D. G. Steacy.
The following officers were elected for the
ensuing term :
President, E. P. Moore ; Vice President,
W. Starrett; Secretary, Maggie M. Kinsey;
Treasurer, F. Good; Editor, S. E.. Cooper.
This Society was organized }december
Sib 1870, and held its meetings once a week
all last Winter and was well attended. A
re-organization took place September 7th.
The Lyceum has convened Thursday
night of each week ever since that time.
