On Thursday of last week, a desperado broke
into the house of I. B. Gage. while the family
were from home, and stole a suit of clothes be
longing to the owner of the house and other
articles besides helping himself to what eata

family came home and found their house ran

a suspicious cuaracter bad gone towards Mont •

several parties and he was overhauled at the
house 01 Mrs. Lannert. He was brought back
and arraigned before E. H. Gage esq., and on
Friday morning Court Dailey gave hint a fre-t

Leaves to be skeletonized should be gather
ed only in dry weather, should also be priestly
matured, July and August being the hest
months to gather them. Among the choicest
varieties are vine, poplar, beech and ivy leaves.
Dissolve lour ounces of washing soda in one
quart of boiling water : add two ounces of
quick lime and boil fifteen minutes ; allow this
to cool ; then pour off the clear liquor into a
clean saucepan and when at n boiling point
place the leaves carefully and boil one hour ;
boilirg water should be added occasionally to
supply that lost by evaporation. If after boil
ing one hour the cellular tissue does not rub off
between the thumb and finger, boil them till ft
will, always place the leaves in cold water to
se penile the fleshy matter from the skeleton.
Meech the skeletons by putting them into a
solution of one quart of water, a large table
spoonful of chloride of lime and a few drops of
vinegar : let them remain twenty minutes then
.remove and dry between sheets of white blot
ting paper, beneath a gentle pressure.
Lesf Fhotographs.
A pretty amusement, especially for those who
contemplate the study of botany, is the taking
of leaf photographs. One very simple process
is, at any druggist's, get five cents worth of hi
chromate of potash. Put this into a two ounce
bottle of soda water. When the solution has
become saturated—that is, the water has dis
solved so much as it will—pour off some of the
clear liquid into a shallow dish ; on this float a
piece of ordinary writing paper till it Is thor
oughly and evenly moistened. Let it become
nearly dry in the dark. It should be a bright
yellow. On this put the leaf, under it a piece
of soft black cloth and several pieces of new
paper. put this between two pieces of gless(all
the pieces should be- the same else) and with
spring Clothes pins fasten.them together. Ex
pose to bight sun, placing the leaf so that th
rays will fall on it as nearly perpendicular as
possible. Ina few minutes It will begin to
turn brown, but it requires from half an hour
to se#eral hours to produce a good print. When
it has become dark enough take it from the
frame and put it in clear water, which must be
changed every few minutes till the yellow part
has become perfectly white. Sometimes the
venation of the leaves will be quite distinct. By
following these directions it is scarcely possible
to fail, and a little practice will make perfect.
The photographs, if well taken, are very pret
ty as well as interesting.
Complimentary.
Thn following allusion to Arthur A. Hawley,
eon of tbo late C. P. Hawley of Gibson, this
county, we copy from the Mankato Weekly Re.
view, published at the city of Mankato, Minne
sota, where he resides.
"In our last issue, we rather anticipated the
event, in announcing that Mr. A. A. Hawley
had succeeded to the interest in the milling firm
of Hawley dr, Pearson. That result has, how
ever, since been accomplished, with this modi
fication, that that gentleman and Mr. Pearson
have purchased the interest, and become Joint
and equal partners in the future management
of the business. The Red Jacket }lour has a
reputation In the East and at home second to
no other brand in the state, and this reputation
will be fully and completely sustained by the
new firm. Mr. Hawley will continue in full
charge of the office at this city, with which he
has been connected tor several years, thorough
ly undrrstanding Its complete routine, and Mr.
Pearson will continue in charge of the mill.—
We wish the new firm a long and prosperous
business career."
A Very Excellent Suggestion.
A neighboring paper suggested a short time
ago that County Agricultural Societies offer
premiums for the best public highways. This
sugbnstion is a good one. It there is one thing
more than another in which the people are neg
ligent if not decidedly shiftless, It is in keeping
the roads in good condition. Considering how
little time and labor would be required to keep
excellent roads most of the time through the
length and breadth of the country, it is aston
ishing that such poor roads exist. It is true
that during dry periods the roads are good, or
passably good. in spite of the negligence of the
people. But they might with a very small de
gree of enterprise be comparatively good at all
seasons.
It is painful to ride in the country and see
how little is done to keep the water out of the
highways or even to pick out the loose stones.
The farmers are certainly deeply interested in
having good roads. It would diminish the cost
of carrying their crops to market and enhance
the price of their land; for nothing helps
more to give the persons who travel over the
highways a good Impression of the country so
much as smooth roads well taken care of. Can-
not our Agricultural Society take this subject
in hand ?
Camp Meeting
The Wyoming Camp Meeting which adjourn
ed yesterday, after a ten days session, has been
one of the most successful and enjoyable ever
held in this section. While the attendance has
not, perhaps, been as large from the outside
world as upon previous occasions, the church
and religious people have been there in large
force, enjoying seasons of solemn devotion,
sweet communion and special grace, The
weather has been delightful in this mountain
retreat. On Sunday the meetings were largely
attended and specially interesting. At the

Rev. W. IL Olin of Wilkes-Barre, preached an

The glory of man, or his worst shame, arises
from the nature of character which makes his
identity. In some persons good and evil are so
antithetically mixed that we can scarce deter
mine whether we ought to consider them vir
tuous and honorable, or degraded and miser
able. It is the deplorable misfortune oi those
that, having no fixed principles of action, they
veer about, unstable as the treacherous sea.
Like the many-hued chameleon, they change
in thought and act, "unreliable" comes to be
their proper designation, and the most indul
gent of their friends are forced to admit the
tact, that fatal weakness—the weakness of
change—bears them forever Irom greatness,
makes them traitorous to love and friendship,
and spoils them of an attribute which distin
guishes mankind from the brute creation.
Character exalts the saint ; character stamps
the demon. It is charity vi Lich we love when
external attraction fades in both man and wo
man —the hidden jewel of the soul, it com
mands affection and respect down to the day
when age, having "clawed man in his clutches"
—as Shakespeare has It—lie down in batter&
desolation, like some grand old crumbling o ,
iqce, bearing on its classic front the magmflobt
architecture which protects it from vulgotitY
even in ruin.
The man of character is also the man 4 iron
nerve; he may be neither a great statessac nor
politician ; he may be humble In hie associa
tions and aspirations, his head is rift, his in
tegrity unshaken. He looks on truthwith dear
vision, acting in accordance with , its supernal
dictates ; he does not fear the ta* of his fellow
men, for his lout is white with/ttegrity, and he
looks humbly and triumphant, to the Eternal
Source of Truth, as his renew beings, in a low
lier sense, look unto him, ecauae he Is trust
worthy, and, in short. his
, tharacter—good and
stable character—that cosier stone of Individ
ual greatness, that Doricend splendid column
in the majestic structurtof a me and dignified
man, who is at once as "heir of glory, a frail
child of dust." To each only belongs his cor

Pastoral Wilts
In regard to pastoral visits and to only wo
men who feel good over their minister and Ids
preaching, the New York Observer delivers the
following timely little sermon :
"All judicious pastors discourage tarallarity
on the part of their people, especially of the
female denomination. For this way lies the
danger. A silly woman, pious perhaps, bat
very soft and shallow, hears the stirring words
of her eloquent pastor, Is roused, warmed,
soothed, exalted—she thinks edified—and
straightway she believes him to be the man sent
to do her goad. She goes to his study to tell
him so ;Alow much enloyment she finds in his
word ; or she writes him a letter, and pours out
her little soul full of twaddle about her grati
tude for what her dear pastor has done for her
how she Is lifted up by his instructions ; bow
she loves him as a friend given to be her guide
and comfort, and so on, more and worse, run
ning into a mawkish sentimentality, a sicken
ing manworship, disgusting to every sensible
person, hut very nectar to a vain, worldly
preacher, who seeks only to make his hearers
"feel good."
There is a world of truth in the above little
nutshell, and the strongest features of it all is
that it comes from one of the oldest and
staunchest religious papers in the United States
whose word has long been law in religions
matters.
Singular Accident at Sayre. Pa.
The Elmira Adrerliser of Aug. 21st, says a
sad and painfid accident occured on Thursday
morning to Mr. John Shehan, section foreman
of Syracuse, in the following manner :
As train 32. Towanda accommodation, was
passing the residence of Mr..). F. Overshire,
Mr. Charles Ward.baggage-master on that train
thought to drop off a small piece of ice to his
wife, who is sick. Mr. Ward claims that be
fore doing so he looked forward and saw, as be
supposed, the trackman stepping on the other
side of the train, but it subsequently proved
thst Mr. Shehan remained upon the side from
which the Ice WISH thrown and received the
blow as it came from the train full in the face,
cutting a frightful gash in theorehead, along
side of and nearly severing his nose, and break
ing his lower jaw. Mr. Shekel/ was Ins me
diately removed to his residence and medical
aid summoned; Drs. Corbin and Johnson dres
sed his wounds. He now lies in a critical condi
tion and suffering intense pain. No intention
of harm is ascribed to Mr. Ward, who exhibits
the deepest sympathy and fullest sorrow, and
who left his train to assist in caring for the
suffering man. Should the accident rash fatal
ly, it would be a severe blow to the family, of
shich there are five small children. Mr. She
hen is a sober, industrious and bonnet man,and
this blow will be lamented by all who knew
him.
Soldiers' Encampment.
We hod the pleasure ot attending the Soldiers'
Encampment at Heart Lake on Friday last.—
There was a large number of people there—we
should estimate that between 3,006 and 4,000
people visited the grounds during the day. We
were glad to meet many of our old friends some
who were "boys in blue" as well as others. The
day passed off very pleasantly and orderly as
tar as the soldiers were concerned. There were
between 300 and stoo soldiers in camp, and all
conducted therneelvts in an orderly and gentle
manly manner. The display,of COMIIe,RO.9 not
what it will be, when the Encampment is arm
ed and equipped, and we understand. arrange.
ments are being made to perfect this before an
other reunion. Sailing on the Lake in Taylor's
Steamer formed quite a prominent feature of
the day. We found our friend .1. O. Bullard and
_ _
uz eecooes,ra,eu the fact that they
know how to entertain people in the woods as
well as at their Hotel in Brooklyn. About 200
of the soldiers formed In ranks after dinner,
headed by the Brooklyn Band and went
through with a partial drill as well as they could
with sticks for guns,under the command of CU
T.trord of Susquehanna Depot, commanding
officer of tut D. W. Searle esq., offered
sonic resolutions accomparneo well
timed remarks that enlisted the hearty appro...,
of all present. Capt. Jerome R. Lyons deliver.
ed an address founded upon the history and
deeds of the old Army of the Potomac, which
were certainly among the most entertaining
features of the day. They were appropriate
and exceedingly well delivered and we think
could not have failed to meet the approbation
of all who heard them. Wm. H. Jessup esq.,
who bad taken the position of 'private" In the
ranks was called for, and responded. He said
some good things and some things which our
taste would have omitted. In his opening he
labored hard to ,now why he was not at "the
front" by pictu'ing to as the "prayerful' strug
gle" he had in his own mind to decide whether
"it was his cbty to enlist or stay at home and
t a ke ca r e °yids family," bat finally did the lat
ter. We de not at liberty to contradict Mr.
Jessup, btr may conclude that ho and many
others stad at home on account of a pure pa
triotic Ming for their families, but we frankly
confesrthat we did so because we deemed it the
safestplace and could honorably avail ourself
of tie privilege under the laws of our country.
W' were not In Montrose at the time, hence
ennot speak of Mr. Jessup's action, hut we
snow that thousands of others did the same as
we did, irrespective "of color or previous con
dition of politica." There were thousands of
men who were pushed to the front who bad
families as dear to them as any one, that bad
not the means to decide which course they
would pursue if they felt "the duty "
We care not bow politicians may differ 1 LS to
causes, we are ready to acknowledge that some
one under the laws of the land was obliged to
lay down his life for his country, and when we
meet one of the soldiers,we are ready to accord
to him all the glory, claiming none for ourself,
notwithstanding we fought as nobly at home
as any of our neighbors (so far as our means
would permit) to fill the "quota" when a draft
was ordered. When we meet a soldier either
with or without an empty sleeve or an artifi
cirl limb we owe him, and have ever granted
him, our respects and gratitude. We are well
aware that but for his substitution, necessity
would have put ns "in his place."
The resolution on the erection of a Soldier's
Monument, in this county, met our hearty ap
probation and we hope that the reticent officers
of the Association will : be obliged to resign or
take proper action. We shall have some more
to say on thatxubject. The Encampment broke
up on Saturday noon. We may give an addi
tional report in our next.
the Orange Pica's-
The Patrons or Husbandry of Pennsylvania,
Maryland and West Virgitda, assembled at
Williams' grove, Cumberland Valley, for social
purposes and the binding together more firmly
of this mighty tratemity, believe It appropriate
on this festatoccasion to express those senti
ments for the consideration of brother farmers
not formally connected with the order, as will
prove of general and personal Interest to them,
and at the some time throw some light upon
the objects which patrons are successfully striv
ing to attain.
1. The social advantages so signally shown
here to-day, comn,end themselves as worthy of
the support of every citizen.
2. The educational faellitierwhich have re
sulted and are still becoming more apparent to
those who have given the progress of the order
much attention; are in themselves worth all the
time and money that has been expended in
this great movement.
8. That the pecuniary benefits of our order
are such u give fresh vitality to the financial
condition of every patron's pocket and add to
the comforts and blessings of himself and
household.
4. That this union of agriculturists has given
strength to advance tho farmers' peculiar inter
eat and to such an extent as to astound even
those who heretofore had had practical knowl
edge of the benefit of such action in 'other de
partments of tile- The grange is therefore
held out to every producer of the soil as the
best place to concentrate his interests and prac
tically t.ld and as the organization meriting his
support above all secular bodies.
5. That legitimate business of all kinds is
benefited by the grange through the lopping off
of all unnecessary intermediate agents, who,
standing between the producer and consumer,
manufacturer and user, serve only to increase
the cost of the necessaries of life, to the sun
dering from each other of these two most im
portant branches of production and consump
tion.
6. That as family affairs are often best sub
served by their being kept within the family
circle,tbough these home affairs may be as pure
and proper as the air we breatbe,so has it been
found in the farmers's great family circle (the
grange) that the keeping of that which most di
rectly concerns ourselves is the best policy and
productive of the best results. An enemy oft
en desires no better chance of working anoth
er's ruin than the acquisition of a knowledge of
what one is doing whose ruin he seeks.
7 That while grangers pre held together by
a common bond, localities may be affected dif
ferently by local circumstances, so that a varie
ty of views may be entertained upon many
questions of policy, and railroad freights, tariffs
and tree trade and kindred questions are sub
jects of difference among members of which
the order is tolerant, and for which It Is not re
sponsible.
8. That while the order Is in nowise political,
nevertheless good citizenship demands of Its
members to watch the true interests of the far
mer by the selection of honest and capable men
for public positions. That corruption in any
political party, the nominations 01 mere place
seekers, or the manipulation and management
of any such by rings, should meet with the op•
position of good men in or out of the order ;
and that we advise a more particular attenttori
to the primary meetings held for the nomina
tion of delegates, as thus the initial step is to
be taken in the selection of proper persons for
office—now too often left to the entire control
of mere politicians.
That in the spreading of valuable information
on the forgoing subjects, and in giving tone
strength to the movement, we feel that the
Farmer's Friend has been of invaluable service,
a nd we most cordially reccommeud its contin
ued support by every one who has at heart the
good of the order, and its living principles.
10. That our most heartfelt thanks are due,
and hereby tendered, to the Cumberland coun
ty council, for the wisdom and energy display
ed in bringing about this mighty reunion ; and
we most particularly thank the worthy secreta
ry of the Pennsylvania state grange and his as
sistants for the indefatigable energy, tact and
skill shown In making it all such a magnificent
success.
11. To the several bands of music, to the
uumberland Valley railroad company, and to
the many friends who have contributed to the
' - gl-11Ttlaiii: ; a ir' I r S
Almighty God, the giver of everything that is
good and perfect, we render praise and thanks
giving for all with which we aro to-day most
signally blessed.
