1808, to assess the, datnagesnustained by
the - citizens of the counties of Adams,'
Franklin, Milton, 'Bedford, Ferry, York

Union and rebel troops respectfully sub-'
mit:
That we organized on the diid day of
-June,. and appointed M. W. lll'Alarney
our Clerk (who proved to be very effleient),
and !piling drat been-been sworn to per
form our duties with impartiality and
delity, and having given the notice re
quired by the act, of the times and places
of our meeting, ,we visited all the counties

bor required by. the commisioners and
their clerk in the assessment of damages,
.was much greeter and more Onerous than
they hadtirry idea of when we commenced.
Besides the meetings in the different
counties named, we held a number of 'seS
'sion's in - Darrisburg,to examine and ad

forth in the book in which this report is
made, and which is made part of it, a de
tailed statement of the claims presented by
the citizens in the respective counties, the
losses sustained through the Union and
tad armies, and whether such losses
.were in real or personal property, and the
amount ,by each and to each. We also
present each claim , separately, and the
proof furnished by the respecti‘o claim
ants By these it will appear that the to
tal nmOunt of losses as claimed to have
been sustained by the citizens in said
counties, amonnts to the - sum of one mil:

us in a "measure at least duplicating the

VARLISLE,,PENN'A,- FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1569
The Ninth Census is to' be taken ti
little more than 'a year hence, and
already speculation is active ss' to its
results. Will our east ratio of in
crease in population be maintained,
in view of, our fearful losses by the
late civil war 7 We think it cannot
be. In our judgment, this country
has now one million fewer inhabitants
than it would have had but for that
war ; and our losses are not, yet com
plete, since the untimelyt death of so
many mainly.young and vigorous men
is certain 'to reduce the number of
births in the next and even the -subse
quent decade. II is said that far fewer
children are born than formerly, be
cause of the reluctance of wives to
assume the perils and cares of -mater
nity; but we hope to learn that the
prevalence of this feeling has been
much exaggerated. The talk of New En
gland baying fewer children born than
those of foreign parentage has jt.st this
basis : Ilalf of the young men and a
full third of the ydung women of New
England parentage migrate—wander
off— , ' go West"—and their off-spring
figure in the ?'ee'nsus returns of Illinois,
lowa, Kansas, Sc., while Europeans

the pilgrims" in their ancestral seats,
and bear children to be enumerated at
Boston; Providence, Lowell, and our'
Manchester. 51 'e cannot believe that
.the vigor or the virtue of the old New
England stock has, departed.
The late Elkanalt Watson, writing
in 1815 on the progress of population
in'the - United States, said :
In 1810 it was 7,239,903. The imvease
from 1790, the first census under th&Con
stitution, has been about one-thfrd of each
census. Admitting that it will continue
to increase in the same ratio, the result
will be as folloWs:

In 1900,100,355,985
It will be seen that .the ealCulation,
though surprisingly near the actual
result, . rubs a little . ahead at last,
though Texas had been anneked and
New Mexico and 'California. conquered.
meantime, as Louisiana had been a few
years before-Mr. Watson wrote. De

erably short of the estimate, tough we
believe it was then tiverstateT That
census—or, at least, 'a good part of it:—
was taken by persons whose compen
sation was based on the numbers re
turned ; hence-a strong temptation to
exaggerate. We believe the population
of this City (for "instance) was made .
100,000 more than it actually -was
We hope to see extraordinary pains
taken next year, the lists returned care
fully scrutinized and revisedp' , and "all
Tersons 'who shall .suppose they .have
failed to be enumerated or have been
enumerated • twice publicly invited to
make themselves manifest.
We
,judge, that our population in
1570; fairly enumerated, will fall-eon
siderably, below Mr. Watson's estimat 3,
though will someWliat exceed Forty
Millions. That, unlessre-enforced by
future ahnexations, it will in 19.00 fall
considerably below One Hundred Mil

HEROINE OP LAKE ERIE
El=
The dark, stormy closeiof November,
1554, found many vessels on Lake Erie,
bat the fortunes of one alone have spe-,
cial interest for us. About that time
the schdonei Conductor, owned by Mr.
John McLeod, of the Providential Par
liament, resident of Amherstburg, at
the mouth of the Detroit river, entered
the Lake from that river, bound for
Port Dalhousie, at the mouth of .the
'Wellend Canal. Her crew consisted
of Captain - Hackett, a Highlander by
birth, and a skillful and experienced
navigator, and six sailors. At
„night-,
fall, shortly after leaving the head of
the lake, one of tho's'e terrific storms
with which the late autumnal naviga
tors of the " Sea of the Woods" are
all se familiar, overtook him
‘, The
weather was intensely, cold for the
season ; the air was filled with snow
and sleet ; the chilled water made ice
rapidly, encumbering the schooner and
loading down-her decks and rigging.
As the gale increased; the tops of the
waves were shorn off by the fierce
blasts, clouding the whole atmosphere
: o 2ffr-trg _
call "spoon drift," rendering it -impos
sible.to see any object a few rods dis
tant. Driving helplessly before the
wind, yet in the. direction of its place
of destination; tne schooner sped thro'
the darkness. At last, near midnight,
running closerthau the crew Supposed
to the Canadian shore,.she struck on
the outer b'ar . off Long -Point Island,
beat heavily across it, and sunk in the
deeper water between it and the inner
bar. The hull was entirely- submerg
ed, and -the waves foiling in heavily,
and dashing over the rigging, to which
the crew betook themselves. Lashed
there, until') with cold, drenched by the
pitiless, waves, and scouted by the
showers of sleet driven before the
wind., they waited for the morning.
The slow, dreadful hours wore away,
and at length the dubious and doubtful
gray of a morning of tempest succeeded
to the utter darkness of night._
Abigal Becker chanced at that time
to be in her hut with none but her
children. Her husband was absent on
the Canada shore, and she was left the
sole adult occupant of the island, save
the light-keeper, at its lower end, some
fifteen miles off. Looking out at day
light on the beach in front of her door,
she saw the shattered boat of the Con-
.ductor cast up by the waves. Her ex-
Perience of storm and disaster on that
dangerous coast needed nothing more
to convince her that, somewhere in the
neighborhood, human life had been or
still was, in peril. She followed the
south-westerly trend of the island for
a little distance, and peering through
the glooni of the stormy morning, dis
cerned the spars of the sunken schoon
er, with- what 'Seemed to be human
forms clinging to the rigging The
.heartof the strong woman sunk within
her, and'she geed/upon those helpless
follow-creatures,46b near, yet so unap - -
proachable - She had no boat, and none
could beim lived on that Wild water.
After a moment's reflection, she went
back to her dwelling, put flip smaller
children in charge of the eldest, took
with her an iron kettle, tin teapot, and
Matches, and returned to the beach, at
the 'nearest point to' the Vessel ; and
gathered up the logs and drift-wood,
always ahnndant on.the coast, kindling
a great fire, and constantly walking
backend forth between it and the water,

EDDYSTONE
THE HISTORY AND ROMANCE OF THE
=EI
A. report was current on the evening
of. Wednesday that the lEdAystone
Lighthouse had been swept away by
the storm. The light-keepers, it was
added, had been drowned—a piece of
unnecessary detail; .since, if the news
had been true that the waves had 'dash
ed down the beautiful and proud struc
ture of Sole:Ann. they would have made
short work of the poor creatures living
in the desolate sea-tower. .."Eddystoue
Lig,hthotie doWn 1" people said, one
to another; " could such an event bap
.
the rock,' against which the winds may
roar and the waves beat till the stones
'wear out, no storm can lay it low ?"
Yet who knows the poWer of aii
lantic.roller; driven by the fierce "sou'-
wester 7"
A New York steamship, the Pereira,
plit out from Havre a short time ago
,o cross the ocean for America. She
was as powerful and' Ildri'dsorne a ship
as could float, and 'one of the quickest
among ocean-going steatiners. Yet, four
days out, she ran her nose under a'
huge roller, piled up by the gale, and
seven hundred tons of water, it is es
timated', in one ugly gray avalanche of
furious spume and 'swirl, broke 'upon
her deck—crushing everything fiat to
the planking, breaking the backs of
passengers, mid with the blow of that
blue billow completely disabling the
ship. It was asked whether, perchance,
some such vast mass of the sea, 'driving
up with the storm, and falling in the
full power of its impulse upon the light
house, had crushed and annihilated it.
In that case how sad the fate of the
poor light-trimmers, swept into death
beyond all chance of escape, or even
knowledge of their doom !
No need to tell us that the three
men were gone, if the lighthouse was
nomore : th - eir lives would be mere
bubbles in the crash—one. moment
prolonged, any, the next extinguished
in the rush of the fierce waters over
the.leveled tower. And then thoughts
arose of the peril which would .ensue
to homewaid bound vessels. Every .
caatain'coming up the channel is used
to make outthe fixed white light of the
Eddystone. Ms as sure to be,there - ,
with its friendly gleam, he thinks, as
the white cliffs and green meadows, of
" home" beyond. Once inside th
e,
Lizard Point, the master's order ie to
" keep a look-out for the Eddystone;"
and when it is seen, home" is as
good as reached. The pilot presently
comes out, and the ship's voyage is all
but over. If the lighthouse were really
gone, 'we Might heir next that a great
ship' with her crow and cargo had gone
bodily upon the dreadful stone, at the
very moment when the mariners were
wondering why they did not make out
the well known beacon-
It would have to be built up again,
too; at a heavy cost, and with an in
terval:of long 'delay and danger; for
even with. modern appliances, it would
he no Small task to rival Stneitton, and
. place another Pharos upon the, deso
late, perilous crag. All these gloomy
thoughtt Were happily brought to .an
end by the welcome, uciws that the
lighthouse was .as. safe as ever.. The.
thick weather ; of the tempest had, ob
scured the gleam, and'some Plymouth
bound oiesisel, we atipiiose, failing' to

upon the 'Eddystone, vowed that'ne
more lives and vessel's should be cast
away upon_ that rock if he coadd help
it. People laughed at him tor his cou
rage and humanity ; but he stuck to
his purpose., After many failures, lie
got his piles and cross-beams fixed up
on' the reef, and hoisted the first light
over it. Thus many a life was pre
served; but at•lenoh the channel bil
lows, rose and swept the timber-stuff
all away in November, 1703.
Next, Redyard tried his hand, and
reared a strong tower, solid and well:
planned enough ; but in this Case fire
did what-water-failed to effect, and the
building was, burned doWn. Smeaton
was then called upon to set up some
thing which neither water nor fire should
be able to destroy; and he wont, as wise
engineers should do, to nature. lie
saw how the bele of an oak tree holds
up its gigantic mass against the fiercest
winds, although they lay hold of its
'green and spreadinxr. head, and bend
its vast limbs. ThWknitted roots and
tlffek base keep the forest monarch
firm; and Smeaton resolved to make a
sea-oak. tree of his lighthouse.' Broad
at-the base ; and solid as the rock on
which they stood, with their: stones
'bound together, and inter-knitted like
the fibre of the tree, he laid his lower
courses. ,Upon these be raised his
ow'super-structure, o gteartllitkinrb
and strength, but tapering upward in
side the lines of his foundation.
If---anybody wishes to -read a-" ro-7
mance of real life," let him
.peruse
Smeaton's " Narrative of the building
-of Eddystone Lighthouse," and lie will.
see how man also learns to make "even
tle.wildest waves obey him." It is
remarkable that the form selected by
th 6 renowned engineer for his sea-tow
er, as being nature's own idea- of soli
dity in vertical erections, is nearly
identical with the symbol used in the
Egyptian hieroglyphics for "strength."
The priest represented That notion by
the figure of an obelisk almost.precise
ly resembling theoutlines of Smeaton's
light-house ; and a hundred years of
Weather have proved that they and the
engineer knew what they were about.
The light burned for the first time upon
the new building in October,. 1759 ; it
burns now, all safely; and it is likely
to burn through many a stormy winter
to come.
And if we on land have almost af
fection for these sturdy turrets erected
in defiance of the strongest forces of
nature, to save life and property, and
to light ;alma:tin - Niter towards his home,
what must sailers feel ? A lap.dsman

they save life. Firm as, Stneaton's
tower is, the huge erection shudders in
the-shock of such a tempest as has
lately / raged ; the winds howl like
maddened devils upon its head, while
the big waves.barst upon its sides, and
fling their sheets of green and white
right over. the gallery and lantern.
Strange sights and: sounds are the re
creation of those hermits of the tower
storm-torn craft driving wildly
past—the land•birds - dashing in - the
darkness against the glass of the light
--and sea-wrack, mingled sometimes
with dead bodies, flung against their
water-stairs.
It is not for a little that men are
found to live in the dismal dolituthi of
such a place as the rooms under the
Eddystone lamp. Two watches, used
to keep this melancholy but useful
garrison; but ope died, and the other
was forced to live . until the relief ar
rived, lest ho should be accused of
murder. Since that time three have
always occupied the house. The sai
lor best knows how wellworth pains
and cost the trouble and scrupulous
attention are. Each sunset finds the
patient keepers carefully trimming the
light and setting the polished reflect
ors, and not for a moment is that
brilliant glare allowed to relax.
The light-keeper cannot see- what
help he gives ; his business is to guard
the bright monitory gleam. But, far
away from his rock, the blasted Mari
ner, anxious and in doubt, suddenly
'makes out the Eddystone.' Some
keen eye forward or aloft catches the
tiny spark over the dark Waters, and
then' he lead-lind and the fearful watch
are no more wanted. 'So shines,' a 9
Shakespeare says, 'a good deed in - a
naughty. , world.' A gooct and brave
deed it was to plant the cross of help
upon the ugly Channelrock, as Win
stanley first die, and as Smeaton after
him succeeded in doing, with a work
which many such gales as this'sou,'
wester will leave 73afo and sound—'the
monument of man:s audacity, and
better still, of man's brotherhood.
