During the absence of the committee, on mo
tion of Prof. Hay, delegates from the several
societies represented, reported some facts in re
lation to their temperance operations during the
year, which reports were ordered to be written
out, and published, and are as follows : C. W.
Hoffman made the following report of the state
of the "Temperance Beneficial Society of Get
tysburg," viz:— •
The Temperance Beneficial Society of Get
t)•sburg was organized January, 1844, with
about 20 members. Temperance being the
grand aim of the Society, the Beneficial system
was incorporated as a secondary feature, with
the view of giving greater efficiency to the orga
nization. The results thus far have been of the
moat cheering character, the good effects devel
oping themselves in the reclamation of the
inebriate and the moderate drinker, the enlist
ment of the temperate in habit, both old and
young, in favor of the temperance enterprise,
and the extension of pecuniary relief tosick and
disabled members and their families. The
Society now numbers 83 members in good
standing; 3 members were expelled during the
past year for violations of the pledge, one of
whom has been reinstated. During the year
ending Jan. 15, 1848, the Society paid out to
sick and disabled members $177 00; $l4 50
to the widow of a deceased brother; $lO 00
as a donation to the sufferers in Ireland, and
$3O 00 for incidental expenses —leaving a
balance in the Treasury of $1049 02. Im
pressed with the conviction of the excellence
of the Beneficial feature of our organization,
we respectfully commend it to the attention of
the friends of temperance throughout the county.
E. W. Stable made the following report in
relation to "Adams Division, Nu. 214,50ns of
Temperance," viz :
This Division was instituted by warrant or
dispensation from the Grand Diiision of the
State of Pennsylvania, dated January 15, 1847,
and organized February let, following. It now
numbers 145 members; which number is week
ly increased by new accessions. There have
been but few cases of violation of pledge first
time—none second, nor third—so that there
have been no final expulsions fur violation of
pledge ; though one has been expelled for mis
conduct, and another for non-payment of dues.
The number of reformed drunkards in the Di
vtsion is 37. The finances of the Division are
in a sound and healthy condition, being ample
to guarantee to individual members the benefits
provided for them by the laws of the order.
We also take pleasure in being able to state
theta Section of the Cadets of Temperance has
recently been established in this place, called
"Day -Spring Section, No. 66." It is corn
posed of boys between the age of 12 and 18
years; and already numbers over 30 members.
Many (food results,•it is anticipated, will flow
from this nnivernent in training the youth of our
community, in the paths of sobriety and moral
rectitude.
John M. Brinkerhoff, from the "Mt. Pleasant
Union Total Abstinense Society," made a brief
verbal report of the state of that society.
J. K. Plitt, front the "Pennsylvania College
Society," submitted the following report:
"The Temperance Society of Pennsylvania
College," founded on the principles of Total
Abstinence, was originally formed in the month
of May, 1834 ; it continued in operation during
a number of years. and succeeded in bringing
almost all of the students then connected with
the Institution, under the influence of the pledge.
For several reasons, however, it was permitted
to loin its organization. In the spring of 1847
it was revived, and is now in a flourishing con
dition. Two regular meetings are held every
session of The College, which are well attend
ed, end are rendered interesting and profitable
toy addresses from members of the Society—
. membership embraces Professors, Ex-stu
dente and students, and the number of signatures
now appended to the pledge ie eighty-eight.
Janes Mooitt, Esq., from the "Fairfield Te
al Abstinence Society," submitted a brief ver
bal report on the state of the cause within thu
line of its operation.
/mos C. Teciatssotv. from the "Hu nterstown
Total Abstinence Society," made the follow
ing report:
"The liunteratown T. A• Society eras organ
ised Per. 42, 1811—whole number of members
203.
On motion of Rev. B. Keller, it was
Resolved, That the Secretaries of the different
Temperance societies of the County he respeet
fully requested, in future, to furnish their dele
gates to this Convention with succint reports
of their operations during the year, with a view
to their publication.
D. A. Buehler, from the, committee on busi
ness, reported the resolutions of the late State
Temperance Convention, with sundry amend
ments, as follows :
Resolved, That notwithstanding the recent
decision of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania,
we feel encouraged, by past successes and the
righteousness of our cause, to prosecute the
Temperance work with renewed vigor.
Resolved, That all previous legislation upon
the subject, and the decision of the Supreme
Court on the voting law, serve to convince us
that the evil against which we have enlisted
demands the same kind of legislation which
has been pursued in regard to borse-racing,
gambling, profanity, and other immoralities.
Resolved, That nothing short of a law entire
ly prohibiting, tinder severe penalties, the traffic
in liquors as a beverage, can ever be an effectu
al remedy for the evils of Intemperance.
Resolved, That the movements of the great
temperance army ought hereafter to be charac
terized by an unflinching determination to en
force the existing laws, to petition the Legis
lature, and not to cease petitioning until entire
and absolute prohibition of the traffic in intox
icaing beverages shall be inscribed upon the
statute books of this Commonwealth.
Resolved, That if the legislature decide a
gainst the giving the people a prohibitory law,
we ask at their hands a large increase of the
rates of tavern licenses: the prohibition of the
sale of "vinous, spirituous or other strong
drinks," by any other persons than regularly
licensed tavern keepers, and such a modifica
tion of existing laws regulating the traffic,
as will give, in all cases of conviction,
one half the penalty to the person com
mencing the prosecution, together with such
further modification of existing license laws as
shall require that the certificates in favor of pe
tioners for license be sworn or affirmed to, and
that no one individual be permitted to certify to
more than one petition.
Resolved that this Convention do most ear
nestly recommend to all Temperance men the
necessity of unceasing vigilance and action for
advancing this great moral reform.
Resolved. That one of the most effectual
warns of promoting the temperance reformation
is for temperance men to give their aid and sup
port to Temperance Inns and Taverns and Tem
perance Stores, and this Convention recommend
to all friends of the cause, to use theiringuenee
to get up and support, In every community,
good Temperance Houses for the eatertainnimit
of travellers and strangers.
The resolutions wore taken up slid discussed
for some time, when the Convention adjourned
to -it o'clock. • •

After I full discussion of the'several
resolutions, they were adopted ail the settee of
the Convention.
On motion, the following muddtiOns were
unanimously adopted:
Resolved. That Temperate habits are an es •
sential requisite, and Temperance principles a
strong recommendation In candidates for office.
Resolved, That this Convention enters ha
protest against the practice of "treating" by
candidates for office, as unnoeessary and fraught
with unmixed evil to the community, and re
commend to the friends of Temperance to with
hold their support from such as countenance the
practice.
Resolved, That it he recommended to the
friends of Temperance in the several districts of
the county, to adopt immediate measures fur
thorough and efficient organizations, and that
the Executive Committo appointed by this Con
vention be charged with the duty of seeing that
such organizations are effected.
Mr. V. L. Conrad offered the following which
was adopted :
Resolved, That notwithstanding we believe
that state legislation can, with prohibition and
penalties, restrict the traffic to a great extant;
lot it is onr firm conviction, the evil can never
be entirely removed until the national govern
ment shall impose prohibitory duties upon all
'inputs of foreign liquors.
On motion of C. W. Hoffman, it was
Resolved, That a Committee of Five be ap-
pointed to memorialize the Courts of Adams
County upon the subject of licensing houses for
the sale of intoxicating liquors.

Ma. EDITOR :—The Seventeenth Anniversary
of the Phllomathean Society of Penna. College
was celebrated, on the 18th inst., in Christ's
Church, Gettysburg, and, as usual, came off in fly
ing colors.. The gloomy anticipations of some of
the warmest friends of the association, who were
acquainted with the peculiar disadvantages under
which the speakers had been called to the rostrum,
were agreeably dispelled ; and, instead, as was pre
dicted, of listening to a "slim" performance, the
audience received a treat, such as the Philos are
wont to afford. lam sure, Mr. Editor, that I ex
press the opinion of all unprejudiced hearers, in
saying that the performance was a highly credi
table one, affording a sumptuous feast of fat things,
both for the head and for the heart. Philoinn need
not yet strike her colors. The honor of that ban
ner, beneath whose bewitching influence, her mem
bers, on reason's battle-ground, have so often ral
lied, fought and conquered, remains still unsullied.
Her name "so pleasing to her friends, so terrible
to her enemies," is yet untarnished. And her
standard-bearers, on the present occasion, have
fully demonstrated that she contains within herself
talent and ability sufficient to sustain her fair rep
utation, at a moment's warning.
We will notice the Speakers as they presented
themselves, consecutively, on the stage. Mr. P.
Boas, of Money, Ps., first occupied the attention
of his intensely interested audience on the "Tri
umphs of Mind," most triumphantly. For profun
dity of thought, elegance of diction, sublimity of
comprehension, and terseness of style, Mr. 11. is
deservedly ranked among the first; though his
manner is somewast objectionable. His imagery
was apt; his figures forcible; his examples for elu
cidation appropriate ; and a perspicuity ran through
the whole of his speech, which at once showed
that be was master of his subject. Every word
had weight; every sentence expressed a meaning.
No effort at display ; no grasping after what he
could not reach, were found in his production—
But in hisown happy, strait-forward, unassuming
manner, he addressed himself to his 'subject, con
ducting his audience now to the fissures of the

rocks—then to the clon,is of heaven ; now to the
sublimities of Nature—then to the beauties of Art;
now with an eagle's eye garing at the sun—then
with a telenopic glance scanning . the brilliant orb,.
that roll in space; now referring , to the sublime,
the ravishing, the sweet, the pathetic sirloins of
The blind old herd of Scio's rocky isle"
and Mantua's favorite son—then appealing to the
impasdonate, enthusiastic, unrivalled eloquence of
Mars Hill and the Capitol ; now citing the bold.
the energetic, the overwhelming strains of Ilanon
and Mot •rr —then referring to the mild, melan
choly, embduing notes of B ItSTIIO It I: ; where, in
every instance, the “Trinniplis of Mind" stood forth,
in hold relief. But the victory of mind has not
yet been obtained. The horizon of man's intol
lect has not been, and cannot be defined. Earth
is too small a theatre for its full developeinents.—
For, after all it has done, or cols ; after it has
explored nature and art, traversed science and lit
erature, it can soar on tireless pinions to the !WV.
enth heaven, and ascend to the subliinest scenes, of
which, with all its powers, it cannot even form an
adequate conception. There only, after thin mor
tal coil, by which its powers are so often clogged,
ia laid aside; where it shall see evens. it is seen;
there will the mind fully triumph over those un•
measured bights and unfathomable depths, for
which its wings were plumed so oft in vain
below.
Mr. W. D. Moaner, of Lebanon, Pa , was the
second speaker. His subject, "Confidence, the
Mother of Orem Deeds," had not its legitimate ef
fect upon himself. Hence the apparent confusion
that had seized him for a moment. But it was
only for a moment. For, after the first shock was
over, he assumed his usual self possession, which
was abundantly evinced by the spirit with which
he entered into his subject. His style is sprightly ;
his metaphors hold ; and the peculiar beauty of the
the antithesis in his sentences, must have impressed
every one of his healers. The examples by which
his subject was illustrated were striking and in
point. Neither LUTUAII, nor NAPOL/021, nor our
own beloved WASHINGTON', would have ever ac
camplisbed much for our race and world had they
not confided in their own native ablitiec This
oration will, no doubt, exert a happy influence on
some of the timid Philos, whose strength has never
been tried ; whose powers have been suffered to
lie dormant; whose actual ability is not known
even to themselves.
Mr. A. W. LILLY appeared next on the stage.
Though he had a subject as familiar "as house
hold words," he nev,ertheless sustained thitinterest
excited by his predecessors moatadmirably. "Na.
poleon, it Waterloo," was most glowingly-depict
ed. Though Much has been written, end much
more said about this extraordinary roan; though
every step in his derailing , career has been held up
to the gaze and admiration of an astoniehed world ;
though the--Mightiest intellects -have -- expended
their gigantic powers torment a true exposition
of his chatieter ; his Manly, remain*, notwith
standing, and inexhaustible store for' &student.
the statesman end the orator and Mr. L. fully
demonstrated that, bowman trite asubject may be,
if property treated, it will not hill 66 intend an
audience. At times he became thrillingly elm

courage of this Prometheus of *either/04h ceM

and Marengo, Austerlitz and Jens, had placed h

A CERTIFICATE trom Mr. Ingerson
of Lancaster, N. IL, a highly respectable
citizen of that place, and Jailer of the coun
ty of Coos :
• I, George W. Ingerson, of Lancaster,
hereby certify, that I have been troubled
with the Asthma for about twenty years.
Last November, when I began taking IV is.
tar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, I had been
unable to do anything for several months,
and had not,except a very few nights, been
able to rest in my bed. Almost as soon
as I began to take it, I felt relieved, A
few returns of the Asthma, which I have
had in that time, were almost immediately
removed by taking the Balsam. I rest
well, and my health is, and has been for
months, better than at any time previous
for many years. I cheerfully recommend
this medicine to all who are similarly af
flicted. GEO. W. INGERSON.

SARSAPARILLA.—This celebrated root, so
famous as a medicine for the cure of di
seases of the blood, rheumatism, &c:, has
of late acquired additional repute by an im
portant discovery made in its preparation
by the well known house of A. B. Sands
& Co. of the city of New York, who have
invented an apparatus fur the purpose of
thoroughly extracting the virties of the
plant. The inventors say of this ma
chine, in connection with the preparation
they produce by it, that the whole disco
very is the result of years devoted to
chemical experiments in testing various
modes of preparation, enabling them to con
centrdto in the most efficient form all the
medical value of the true Sarsaparilla ; and
they have at last accomplished this most
desirable result by means of au entirely
new, ingenious, and costly apparatus.—
The process throughout is. governed by
strictly chemical laws, so that the essential
principles, or the prinrple on which the
restorative virtue of the Sarsaparilla de
ponds, is entirely preserved.

denee efits superior efficacy see Pamplilets,which

she trent much time in prayer, and seemed from
ilm,heatnning to have wholly given up the world
and resigned herself into the hands of God. She
r
spoye of her death with the utmostealmneas, gave

mildue of her time in giving her dying counsel
to them, end comforting them in their distress.—
Theaent. l
ments she at different times uttered, ex
hibited an unusual advance in sanctification.
Once she exclaimed, "The delightful views of
a Saviour's love which I have enjoyed during the
kit, few days, are worth the sufferings of a lifetime
alitundred times over." 'Though her pains were
lit times extreme, yet no murmur crossed her lips.
With amazing fortitude and Christian patience,
she bore them all, and after a severe attack re
inarked,"l have had many severe pains, but not one
pain too much ; infinite mercy has counted them
1 all.'• "If I had endured no pain the enemies of
God might think my profession of confidence in
him was owing to that fact ; but now they can
see that. I trust in him tve,ii7Vough he smite me."
When ahe felt the cold and clammy hand of death
laying hold on her; and her last decisive hour
drew near, she faced the terrible enemy with the
utmost composure, and with accents ejaculated,
"Jesus can make a dying bed feel softer than downy
pillows are ;" and after a short interval whispered,
"Now, Lord Jesus, law ready ; I desire net to he im
patient, butif it be agreeable to thy will, I say Lord
Jesus come quickly." Thus did she, on the bosom
! of. her Redeemer, "breathe her life out sweetly
there." Truly has the poet said :
"How Meet the scene 'when Chriedions
