• IMFOIIMATION RESPECTING RECEASEIJ
pursuance of a request from the Quar
ter Master General of the United States Army, an
order has been issued by Geu. John A. Logan,
commander-In-chief of the Grand Army of Repub
lic, for the collection by the different posts, of all
neccesaly Information towards the preparation of
a record Of the graves of deceased Union soldiert.
Interred In civil cemeteries throughout the United
States.
The order of Gen. Logan directs each po,t to ap
point a committee to prepare a record of the graves
of all Union soldiers and sailors, who served dur
ing the late war, and whose remains have been
Interred In the civil cemeteries In its vicinity.' The
record Is to give the name of the cemelesy, its la
ctition, the full name of the soldier or sailor, date
of his enlistment, company, regiment or ship In
which be served, date of death if killed in battle,
or If death occurred in hospital, the name of the
hospital, or If from wounds or disease contracted
in the service the cause from which the same oc
curred. •
Nitw BidLitosD S. Evans,
of the West Chester Record, has prepared a model
of a very ingenious invention for signalling thu
approach of trains where railroads are crossed by
common roads. It Is iutesded that when a train
approaches, say within five yards of a crossing a
signal shall be thrown across the common road,
stating that the train is near at band, and warn
ing parties to keep off. When the train pai,es
the signal Is removed. To accomplish all this
the machinery la very simple but exceedingly In
genious and the whole thing is operated by the
passing train. There can be no failure or token
standing about the matter. A whistle la often
misunderstood, Or confusion arises from the sound
of several trains at a time, and from these causes
many terrible accidents have occurred. Here the
sign Is made visible to the eye. The same appa
ratus could be used in deep cute or curves to sig
nal approaching trains to each other and thus
prevent collisions. The whole upparatu is ex
ceedingly simple, and the model works to perfec
tion. This Invention of Mr. Evans Is soon (9 be
submitted to a practical test.

There was a hitter Ilela over the election of Con
eresslonal Conferees at the York Count v Demo
cratic Convention on the 9th. The XVII' (Innen,-
. slonal I)lst6et Is composed of York, Cumberland
and Perry counties. The Crawhred comny system
of ir.oking mootootrom, is in operation in Cumber
iand comity, and at the election on tidturday last,
John B. Brutton, editor of the Carlisle Eobtateee,
received the highest number of votes tas Candid:at. ,
for Congress. The Dom R.J. Ilnidentan, the
present Representative, and C. E. Maglaughlin,
District Attorney, were, also candidates. There
were over 1i,500 votes east, of which \I r. Ila
Mall received less than ono-third. e:noidote
having. been conceded to Cumberland county, the
(kends of Mr. Winton claim that York county trot
bound to recognize that fact. Tints, however, the
Convention, niter it de,perate contest, refused to
do. Perry county has virtually indor-ed the
nomination of Haldeman, which till mahe him
thew regular" candidate. The probabilities are
itt. Nit*. lirutton kill lilt a= an indrpcmlcnt can
dilute, and should he do so he WOllhi MI doubt he
well sustained by the l)cnmenu•y or Cumberland
county.. It is charged that Mr. lialdemmicarried
York county by the use of corrupt Myatt,. There
Is great bitterness over' the action of the York
County Convention, :00 a lively cnnvuee Is eX

may name a candidate. Thli district is Demo

A IN'oNnnousliter.—Ttastiay evening be.
tween seven and eight •o'clock the inhabi•
tants of Allentown were tilled with wonder
astonishment and alarm at the development of
n fact fur which they were totally unprepared.
To their intense astonishment (not to say en
thusiastic wonder and delight) a gentleman
mounted a mortar box in the Front of the
Post Office and pointing upward 'to an ex
tremely lightly clad individual who was stand
ing on the chimney stack said : " 1 beg to in
troduce &c., &c., Prof. Leon, t h e renowned
rope walker, &c."
• The Professor grreethlly bowed to ladies
and gentlethen below, who were for the most
part betw4n the ages of Mur and ten years,
and addressing the individnals who had horn
tied on to the ends of the "stays' remarked
pathetically that his lire was "in their hands."
Ijimn which the ahiresaid staymaykers
turned pale; especially " who
pres - ented n pie'-bald appearance .peculiarly
wonderful to behold.
At this moment the scene was thrilling in .
the extreme. The multitude of ehilar,n gaz
ing upward, with an admiration that promised
emulation of the rope walkers performance, wit 4
a' sublime spectacle. The sur•rin (or suffering
vile 11cm.) !maple were tranquil, though they
would have preferre(i the rope higher and the
man's shoes greased. if the French soldiers
had seen them they would laive assuredly
wept. The Professor waved his hand grace
fully, picked up a heavy pole lightly, walked
front ono sine of the street to the other Mr
wards and then from the other to the one
backwards, then twisted about on the rope as
though he had eaten something that disagreed
with hint, and then, getting tired of st eing so
many grown people about—he remarked that
he thought it was worth twenty•five cents and
his agent would now pass around—upon
which we nll went home.

We have no hesitation In remonnwnding this
capital book to the public, and raying that Dr.
Maeltenzie has faithfully performed a somewhat
arduous task in a remarkably clever and exPetli
tiou manner. The book contains many 'Merest
lug personal recollections of the author and iii
diciasiag more of his literary life and cele
brated associates than have heretofore been made
pubic. Anecdotes in connection with his works
and the cha'raetees therein portrayed, are told in
the fresh and vigorous style which characterizes
the produttlons of the author, and the whole book
expresses the manly appreciation of the writer of
the good qualities and the noble attributes of
orrles Dickens, as well us a just appreciation of
the fact that he was landau enough to have his
well as sn arme uu appreciation of the
virtues awl failings of others.'

BETHLEHEM FIRE DEPARTMENT.—WC are
sorry to find that the generally enterprising
town of Bethlehem is unable or unwilling' to
support such a useful institution as a Fire De

with so much apathy and holitfereiyie. But
experienci3 in showing, and al ways_As shown,
that to be prepared for the stideren breaking

is trio often neglected, to the cost of those who

DEnnucTivE FnEsnor.—The ruin on

wan not able to get through.
The swollen creek made sad havoc with the
New street bridge at this place, llud with the dam
of Messrs: Taylor 4: Son's sawmill, on Sand is-
land. Two piers of the former, which have their
beds oti the Island, were partially wached out at
their bases and undertnined by the overflowing"
current or the Manpeaey, which, ocurrouning its
banks, and falling Into the Lehigh over a sandy
soil, the grill fall and wear of the rut

is now impabsable for either itetiebtrlatts or vehi
cles. It will require a great deal of work and'
much time before the bridge will be rigida in in safe
and passable condition.
The change of the course of the creek hoe had
the effect to entirely rob the saw mill of Messrs.
Taylor of water rower, and they will suffer 1111101

WHOSE FAULT W As IT ?—We have received
several communications from infuriated citizens,
complainiug that although the moon had been ad
vertised to appear on Saturday night, her" silvery
rays" did not come to town. Asa matter of course
the streets other than Hamilton were east in
Egyptian darkness and pedestrians stumbled into
mud holes and other equally disagreeable man
traps. 'rho cause of this failure on the part of
Luna should be Investigated by the gas company.
If she is in fault we hope the company will be
awarded damages for a breach of contract. We
do out suppose the lamplighters have any respon
sibility lu the !natter. The almanac said the
1110011 would shine and the only question to deckle
Is who Is liable tor her nonmppearanee.
