Matters about Lancaster.

cards the erection OF neP Dulldi h9s'shou5i
there are some in progress. Tie new
house Of /. M. RIcnMosD, opposite Dr.
BsItzell's Office, is rapidly approaching
COMPLETION, and the foundations Of the
Episcopal Church progressing fairly.
Carpenters however find plenty Of en-
ployment, and there is an unusual amount
df repairing, laying sidewalks, fencing and
the like, which are greatly improving the
appearance of many places about town.
There is abundance Of room for pleas
,ro Gardens and yards, and we have some
- e. nrettiest to be found anywhere.
n almost every part Of the village, with
ARE good taste delightful groves are left
Standing and fruit tress and shrubbery
have been largely set out. AS the glossy
foliage covers the one and fragrant BIOS
SONS the other, they add greatly to the
beatty Of the village and prevent what
few weathefbeaten and tumble-down
structures there are about town from fore
iro themselves on the notice Of strangers.
There are few if any villages ID this part
of the State with pleasanter or more Ut
ractiye surroundings.
The face of nature has been bright
ened by numerous showers during the
week. There was very heavy rain Tues
day evening with violent wind Ind some
hail, but no damage was done.
Reports from all parts Of the country
speak Of the favorable appearance of the
growing crops. Hereabodts they never
looked better. Most Of the corn is up and
presents good appearance. There is ey-
cry prospect now of the most bountiful
crops.
A New LANDLoRD-Mr. Wilkinson is
moving out of the old telegraph" since
''Gfant County" House, which we learn
has been purchased by HARLOW G. HYDE,
who will keep temperance and we pre-
sgme a good hotel.
Aoc1DENr.-A little daughter of 7. D..
Collins, about 6 years old, fell from the
back stairs of j. Barnett's brick building,
on Thursday evening last, or 10 feet,
upon pile Of boards and rubbish in the
yard, brushing her severely in different
parts Of the body, particularly about the
lace.
FRosr.--In low grounds there was al
slight frost on Sabbath morning last, wilt
ing some Of the most tender garden veget-
abIes, but doing no serious injury and
leaving fruit unframed. The weather was
so much colder after the refreshing rain Of
Friday night, that there were fears Of al
damaging frost, which were not realized.
CHARGE OF FoReERY.-One ]. S. RICE
was arrested and examined before Justice
Mahood on Tuesday, on a charge of at
tempting to sell to Mr.. John p. Lewis al
note of some $37, parporting to be given
by Judge 0. Cole, knowing it to be for
gerry. He proved however, by NJ. OIL
Monroe, a nephew of Judge Cole (now in
the ginseng trade with Judge Jackson, u
that he had purchased the note at Musco-
da of T. S. Wilder, to whom it purportedl
10 be given, for revolver and watch, and
established the existence of the said note,
With sundry Others, in the hands of said
Wilder, by MIR. Livingston. There were
some suspicious circumstances however,
tehding TO discredit the above testimony
and cast suspicion of being accompices, on
Monroe and Livingston, and though there
was no evidence Of guilt but the fact of
attempting to trade the note, Rice was
committed to jail by Justice Mahood, in
default of bail, 70 await trial at the next
Circuit Court.
]. A. Barber, however, as Attorney fdr
Rice obtained writ of habeas corpus
from Judge McGonigal, who after rehear.
ing and examination of the case on Thurs.
day, discharged the prisoner.
The New PAPER.-The Grant COM.
ty Witness has taken the stand doubtless
prepared to testify to the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth
The first number is well got up and neat
ly printed Mr. SANDERsoN's statement
Of bis reasons for starting Republican
paper here, and Of what his paper is to be,
Is very satisfactory, and his remarks about
the comments made in regard to his en-
terprise are timely. The editors both Of
the Herald and The V5taeSs are somewhat
peculiar IN their views, outspoken and te-
naclous Of their opinions, but we see no
reason for any quarrel between Them
Grant County has territory enough, wealth
enough and population sufficient to sup
poft two papers, and politically, instead Of
dlstFacting the Republican party in The
county we trust rather that converts viii
be multiplied till the Democracy shall be
numbered by hundreds instead Of thou
sands p
SUICIDE. -Plazias Schneider refened
to before, as crazy and having committed
suicide, was found in the town of MiayiIle
