HARD ON HOYLESTOWN.—" John Quill"
writes in the Sunday Dispatch this atrocious bit of
local gossip :—Considerable audacity is required
if you want to go courting in Doylestown, and not
a little personal courage also. A young man, a
day or two ago, asked a maiden if he might call
upon her. There was a certain luxurious abandon
about her reply which Indicates the delicate
mingling of grace and vigor which is a preemi
nent characteristic of Doylestown society. This
maiden said thus unto this young man "If you
come a-fooling 'round our hotise, I'll scratch you
bald headed as quick as lightning; I Just will!"
The skim of an aristocratic Doylestown family
is not visiting hi the social circle of that maiden
now. When he does, we will insert the curd of
tine proprietor of some good hair restorative inn
this column gratuitously.

ATTEMPT TO SWINDLE RETURNED VETER
ANti.—CoI. NV. W. 11. Davis, of the Doyleidown
Democrat, deems it wise to ventilate a new dodge
conceived by rascally New York swindlers, with
the object of fleecing those who survived the storm
of war, In order that they may be on their guard.
These rogues are flooding the country with circa
lars;addressed to those who were soldiers In the
Union army. The document announces that dis
charged soldiers are entitled to 100 acres of land,
assigned to them for services during the war, and
that to obtain tints bounty from the Government It
IS only necessary to forward to the "undersigned"
• a power of attorney, accompanied by a fee of IMO
for professional services. It Is wise for people re- .
siding In rural districts, to accept charily anything
emanating from the modern Gotham. That city
Is filled to overflowing with those who from one
year's end to another, never . do an honest day's
' work, suhsh.ting, only upon their wits. They con
(met all sorts of rascally devices, and In that way
manage to eke out a living by cheating Ilte un
wary.

that our business men and citizens should not

manufacturing of common iron, and is protected
by two patents, one Issued May 20th, 1808, and I
the other issued the 12th of April last. The Hope
Rolling NIIII Is now very busy rhinfing out the
steel to 1111 orders that are coming In front fill sec
tions of the country. This vompouy has run out
nearly a hundred heals of the paddled steel, with
uniform success. Our wsalt by citizens should
come forward immediately awl not let a dollar 0 1
the stork, go out of the county, A few large steel
works In our city, 'to manufacture the different
grades of steel, would double our population in
ten years and doubje the value of every foot of
real estate in our city - . Thin paddled steel was
tested at the ear wheel works of A. Whitney 0:
Sons, in the city of Philadelphia, and stood the
extra ordinary tensils strain of 127,320 pounds to
the square inch before breaking. A•plece of the
s teel rapped rail made by this process was lately
tested at the Camilen and Amboy shops, at Lain
bertsvllle, New Jersey. It stood five thousand
time hundred blows and the weld still remained
; perfect, thus demonstrating that It Is peculiarly
adapted to make the perfect rail. It ha a the'
great advantage over the Bessemer steel rail, that
; Oils rail can be reworked whilst the Bessemer roll
cannot. This steel at this experiment stood live
hundred more blows than the best Bessemer steel
roll stood at the same works and stood over taw ice
the number of blows over the common iron rail.
Our citizens should awaken to the importance of
this Invention made here in our own midst. This
problem of makiog cheap paddled steel, which
has °crawled the attention of the ablest Intellects
the world over for ages, lots been solved by MO
citizens of our own city. Its prautibillty has los,
thoroughly demonstrated by all the principal
workers in steel in the Valley; we should elldeaVdr
to keep its manufacture ht our ow•n Lehigh

inducements. A limited windier of the shores of
this company may lc had, by applying to ex-
Mayor Samuel MellOse, of our idly, Of whom has
been given the charge of organizing this company.

VAN AM HU 11011 & Co.'s MEN AOHltl E. —On
Tuesday of next week, Allentown is to be visited
for the tirst time In many years, by Van Amburgh
A: Co.'s famous Golden Menagerie, an estithlish-
Meet of great magnitude and the highest reputa
tion a comprehensive and meritorious exhibition
of natural history. Messrs. Van Amburgh &CO.
have been engaged for nearly lull a century In
procuring mutt exhibiting wild animals, and by
their extensive system of agencies have acquired
facilities for obtaining rare specimens of animated
nature, which give them great advantages over'
any other menagerie, so that during their long
and successful managerial career they have always
maintained the highest position in their vocation.
This season they seem to have exceeded all their
former eifials, itml present an array of attractions
which cannot fall to draw out Immense throngs of
visitors, shire many of the features announced
are entirely new, while the exhibition, taken alto
gether, surpasses In extent, variety and interest
anything of the kind that' has ever visited this
place. The following notice front the New licum
,wiek Fradonian of hunt Friday, will show that
VIM Amburgic& Co. fully tneet the expectations
•eated by their preliminary announcement a—
"We have never seen a liner mallet:flan of animals
than that In Vain Amburgh & Co.'s Golden Mena
gerie, which has just passed through our city, nor
witnessed an exhibition of skilled and /earned dogs,
mules and lancers that was so entirely free from
all that is objectionable. Not a single rattle
,itist
was uttered and not a word was said that would
mantle the cheek of the most modest with a blush.
The whole establishment, so far as we have hail
opportunity to observe the performances, Is free
front those (natured which have rendered similar
exhibitions a nuisance. The exercises In which the
elephants were drilled were admirably performed,
One feature of Ott establishment was especially
commendable. The half-hour spent by the ora
tor" of the Institution lit describing the different
animate anal their habits was well spent.
Ills speech was In gond baste, and he spike like an
intelligent man. Among the animals were several
never before seen In tide country. Readers of ad
ventures in Africa, such as Cummings, Gerard . 4
Anderson's, rte., will remember the frequent men
lion of the ha rtcbeste and the eland. T111:4 latter
le truly as magnificent The black rhino-
I acres In fine condition. A new feature In
this entertainment Is the exhibition of the trained
dogs. They tare the most popular of all caninci
and wonderfully intelligent. We were impressed
With the mortals of the large crowd assembled to
FCC the animals. The people wine tall quiet and
orderly, anal the opportunity of Feting so rare a
collection was evidently felt not to he an every
day occurrence: We regard the exhibition tae not
only amusing, but inetrtOlve also, tempt chitin Ile
glad to 'attic yan Arniqugh's 'Menagerie reprat Its
visits. The appointments are tall elegant anal the
eimipmepts Ole costliest ever seen In lids city."
It IS evident that lids' colossal exitlblllon Is a
very. different affair from the ,ordinary shows"
which abound all over the country, and its merits
, will doubtless be appreciated by elm citizens.

TOE Cont. TnAnE.—The Mauch Chunk
Coal Gazelle says —Lehigh Is still doing a big
business. The Lehigh Coal & Nov. Co.'s men
have not gone to work, but those of the limey
Brook Coal Co., resumed, as we anticipated last
week, on Tuesday. We hope now for it settle
ment of the former case. We would advise the
miners to endeavor by all honest and honorable
means to Mick some sort of compromise, and go
to work as soon as possible. The sun is shining,
and row is the time to make hay. We would not
lmve the miners do anything thitt would lower
themselves in the eyes of their brethren In other
places, but we do think that both operators and
men should make a great effort to bring about
harmony, not only for their own good, but for
the good of the whole people of this region. There
has not been n thne for years when It was so im
portant that every wan should be in the tunes ms
now. It Is such a terri(de waste of time and
money to he Idle at this [line that we feel sure
work will be commenced shortly.
Onr latest information front the Schuylkill re
gion reports the men as unyielding as ever, with
no chance of the operators giving up. The strike
throughout the region Is now almost general, only
live or six pbm•es worldng. Tlw prospect of going
to work is more. remote Mao ever, and the situa
tion tends In wake the miners In other regloils un
easy and restless. It would not be of all surpris
ing If this suspension would cause 'moil more
trouble than Is now rintleipated before it is over.
The Schuylkill men have heretofore wielded great
power In the W. 11. A. Councils, and all their In
dtwoce Is now thrown fur a general strike through
out all the regions. We hope nothing serions will
come of It.

The strange part of the story is, that in going to
look after pussey's brood, Mr. Stubor discovered
two or three lively young rain located with them
who were making themselves perfectly at home,
and receiving such kind treatment from Puns that
on being " let go," after examination, they
started back to bed with the young kittens.

LETTER FROM LYON VALLEY,
VALLEY May 2d., 1870
Mr. Editor:—Last Sunday, being the first
of May and a .very pleasant day at that, the
churches and Sunday Schools were well at
tended. In the .morning, the Rev. Leopold
held communion at the Weisenburg church,
and one hundred and forty-eight persons re
ceived the same. The church was filled and
a very good and powerful sermon was deliv
ered from the 26th verse, 20th chapter of St.
John.
In the afternoon, Sunday School was held
at the Lowhill church,'some seventy children
being present. David 11. Miller was appointed
Superintendent; John E. Smith, Assistant
Superintendent ; John C. Karsten, Secretary;
Frank Kocher, Treasurer.
On Thursday evening, Mr. Reigelman and
another gentleman, stopped at the house of
Levi Werly, Claussville, to stay over night,
having a pair of valuable mules. In the
morning when Mr. R. went to feed them, he
found one of them fastened to the halter,
where it had entangled itself in attempting to
roll. The animal was loosened, but at 9
o'clock, a. m., It died. Mr. R. resides at
Leonard ville and had been offered the day be
fore $5OO for the animals.
At Guthsville, Whitehall township, Mr.
Jerrie Klotz is now building a new stone
house, to open a saddlery in. It will be quite
an improvement to the place.
Mr. Hausman, of Schnecksville, has opened
a conchmaker shop at Guthavllle. The store
at this place, which was closed for some time,
has been opened by Mr. Lerch, lately from
Catasauqua, with a large variety of store
goodV Efforts are being made to get a Post-
Office at this place. It ought to have one.
The new band of Seipatown serenaded the
citizens of Claussville on Saturday evening
last, with a few pieces of choice music. They
perfornied very well, considering the time
.that Prof. Kuder has spent in teaching them.
The storm on Thursday evening was very
severe here, tearing down fences, bloWing
over, trees, and even moved the old black
smith shop of Levi Werly, at Claussville.

Reading, May I.—The following Is the heading
of a paper going the rounds on Alsace township,
Becks county. Not very long ago, a like petition
was signed In Lehigh when the Fifth Ward School
House was being decided upon. It is evident In
this case that such a building as this one proposed
Is just the thing, and no doubt the subscribers do
not fully understand the project, indeed, no fluther
than the almighty dollar is concerned.. Lehigh,
today, is no poorer for having her magnificent
and finished public ballffings.• From the tone of
the following, the farmers• of Berke must be
heavily burdened with taxes:
" To the Comodstioners of Berke Counly:—llav
log lately learned that n project is on foot for the
erection of a new Alms House In the County of
Berke, upon a plan which is estimated to cost up
wards of $lBO,OOO to 11200,000. We, the under
signed citizens and tax payers of said County,
deeming such a building unnecessary and extra
vagant, do hereby protest against its erection and
against the Imposing of a large additional tax
upon the citizens of the County already heavily
oppressed by taxation."
The building these "oppressed" laudoweera
protest against, is to be built of brick, with stone
base, three stories high with French roof. The
main building to be 274 feet in front, with two
wings; each 100 feet 8 inches. These wings will
form two court yards, each 110 by 90 feet. It
will accommodate 500 persons. The sexes will be
in separate departments. Place being provided
foe lunatics, another also, for young culprits to
answer fora house of correction. There are to be
two cisterns in the extension building, holding
12,000 gallons of water, to be heated by steam and
ventilated with terracotta flues. This plan suits
the Judges and the various county officers, and It
is hoped they will put it up as the plan of Mr.
Ilavillaud represents.
The porticos on Penn street, while they are very
beautiful and highly ornamental to the city, are a
great rendezvous for roofers. There is continual
fault-finding, but the proper authorities do not
seem to care much. Several ladies have had
handsome and expensive dresses soiled by the to
'MCC() juice spurted from the months of these loaf
ers. Respectable people shun these places. 1.a..
dies are sure to be insuletd. On Saturday night last
not less than three hundred of these. men were
standing ender the 'colonnade row between sth
and 6th streets. The "patrols of order" were
among, them, conversing with them, whereas they
should have cleared the pavements to allow peop c
to pass. The finest stores in this city front en
this place, and it is safe to say that more business
would be done If it were safe for customers to pass.
The various papers in this city protest repeatedly
against it.
