THE house of Thomas It. Meyers, near
Girardville, Schuylkill County, Pa, was
buried with its contents, the other day,
by the earth caving in under it. A coal
shaft had been worked directly beneath
the structure, and the roof was not strong
enough to support the building. The
accident occurred in the day time, when
the family were absent, else loss of life
would doubtless have ensued.

In the course of some interesting remarks,

Of a railroad in Pennsylvania. 1t was
then considered an immense enterprise;
it was railroad forty miles in length,
between Lancaster and Harrisburg, Pa.
He used to go cut and make speeches
along the route, and TO take people out In
carriages to get them to take stock, and
paid all their expenses, too. He used to
tell the people that he hoped TO see the

OF the Excursion.
From the Raleigh IN. ca Standard
President johnson, accompanied by
Messrs. Seward and Randall. General
Sickles aud staff Col. Bomford and staff
and others, VISITED Chapel Hill, Thurs
day last, to he present at Commencement.
The President was received by Governor
Swain, the President Of the University.
Speeches were made by President Swain,
President johnson, Mr.. Seward, Mr.. Ran
dali, and Gen. Sickles, full reports of
which we have not yet seen. We think
1t more than probable that full and cor
rect report Of the speeches Of Presidents
swain and johnson will not appear.
We learn that Gov. Swain in the course
of his welcoming speech to the President,
referred to his veto messages as worthy
of the wisdom of Washing gtOn and the
craftsmanship of Jefferson. President
Johnson, in the course Of his reply, paid
a tribute to the courage displayed on the
battlefield, but he said the courage which
he most admired was that which enabled
man to stand up against the clamors of
tyrant majority. This expression was
enthusiastically applauded. Of course
neither Of these expressions will appear
in Mr.. Gobrights report for the Associa-
ted Press. Indeed, the telegraph wires,
as well as the railroads of the South, are
in rebel hands.
We learn that Confederate flag was
found waving in one of the rooms of one
of the Societies of the University. We
presume that out of respect for the Pres
ident and Gen. Sickles this flag was re-
moved for the time being.
Some of the officers belonging to the
staff of the President, General Sickles,
and Others, were entertained in very COM
mon style at hotel in the village of
Chapel Hill. Their fare was quite ordi-
nary, we elearn, for which they were charg-
ed four dollars per day. Several of them
left before the President did; others re-
manned longer out of respect to him.
The University has been, and now is,
in the hands of persons di-aliected to the
Government of the United States. 1t
must be reformed. The State Convention
to be held under the Sherman act must
reform it "from turrct to foundation
stone"
We regret to have say that the effect
of the Presidents visit to Raleigh and
Chapel Hill las been 10 encourage the
spirit of rebellion. The enemies Of the
Government are more exultant and de-
Gant than they have heretofore been.

ton. But this is never done. The
second mode is that Of compromise -
When the electors are SO divided as to
render choice by the whole college i'm
practicable, the election is sometimes
intrustcd to committee. This meth
Cd has been adopted more than once.
The third and ordinary election is that
by ballot. In the morning ballot an
elector can vote for any cardinal
whom he may choose; but the after
noon ballot is limited and supplement
taiy. In it votes can be given only to
some cardinal who had received votes
in the morning ballot And no cardi-
nal can cast second vote for his
mornings candidate. This is called
the process of accoding. Those who
change The forenoon's vote do so by
writing "Accedo domino CARDINAL, y
while all others write the word NE
mini.
As soon as the final choice is made
and accepted, the canopies of the 9TH
er cardinals are lowered, and the con-
clave is thrown open. The new Pope
is seated in chair beside the alterand

companions. He is proclaimed from

ton. Quaint rites of ancient symbol
ism, the origin and the meaning OF

punctiliously discharged; the tiara

A Confirmed Grumbler.

Some time ago there lived in Edin-
burg a well-known grumbler named
Sandy Black, whose often recurring
fits of spleen or Indigestion produced
some amusing scenes of senseless IL
ritability, which were highly relished
by all except the brute's good, patient
little wife. One morning Sandy rose
bent on quarrel; the haddies and
eggs were excellent, done to a turn
and had been ordered by himself the
previous evening; and breakfast passed
without the looked-for cause of com
plant.
"What will You have for dinner
Sandy p said Mrs. Black.
"a chicken, madam, +" said the hus
band.
"Roast or boiled ?" asked the wife
"Confound it, madam, if you haG
been good and considerate wife
you'd have known before this what
liked, Sandy growled out, and slam.
ming the door behind him, left the
house.
1t was in the spring. and friend
who was present heard the little wife
say, "Sandy's bent on a disturbanc,
to-day; | shall not please him. do what

The dinner time came, and Sandy
and his friend sat down to dinner; tn,
fish was eaten i'll silence, and, on rails
ing the cover of the dish before him
in towering passion he called out
Boiled chicken l hate it, madam. A
chicken boiled is a chicken spoiled"
Immediately the cover was raised
for another chicken, roasted to turn

Cautions for those Having sheep.


We copy the following excellent sug-
gestions about sheep, from circular
issued by i. G. D. Mckay, Esq, the
general agent of the American Emf
grant Company. The Company have
already over 10000 sheep scattered
among the farmers who purchased
land of them, in fiocks ranging in size
from fifty to two hundred head.
l. Keep sheep dry under foot with
litter. This is even more necessary
than roofing them. Never let them
stand or lie in mul or snow.
2. Take mp lamb bucks early in sum
mer, and keep them up until Dec. LIST.
following, when they may be turned
out.
3. Drop or take out the lowest bars
as the sheep enter or leave yard,
thus saving broken limbs.
!. Count, every day.
s. Begin granting with the greatest
care, and use the smallest quantity at
first.
6. If q eve loses her lamb, milk dai
ly for few days, and mix little alum
with her salt
Z. Let no hogs eat with the sheep =
by no means in the spring.
s. Give the lambs little ''mill-feed'
in time of weaving.
.. Never srighten sheep if possible
to avoid it.
10 Sow rye for weak ones in cold
weather, if you can.
4. Separate all weak or thin, or
sick from those strong, in the fall, and
give them special care.
II. If any sheep is hurt, catch it at
once and wash the wound, and if it is
fly time, apply spirits Of turpentine
daily, and always wash with something
healing. If limb is broken, bind it
with splinters, tightly, loosening as tho
limb swells.
Is. Keep number of good bells,
on the sheep.
IA Don't let sheep spoil wool with
chat or burrs
Is. Cut tag-locks in early spring.
1G. For scours, give pulverized alum
in wheat hran-prevent by taking
great care in changing dry for green
feed.
II. If one is lame, examine the foot,
clean out between the hoofs, pare the
hoof if unsound, and apply tobacco,
with blue vitiiol boiled in little wa

Say A clergyman who enjoys the
substantial benefits Of fine farm, was
slightly taken down q few days ago,
by his Irish plowman, who was sitting
at his plow, in tobacco field, resting
his horse. This reverend gentleman,
being an economist, said, with great
seriousness: f.4
John, wouldn't it be good plan
for you to have stub scythe here and
be cutting few bushes along the fence
while the horse is resting short
time"
John with quite as serious a counte-
nance as the divine wore himself,
said:
Wouldn't it be well, sir, for you to
have a tub of potatoes i'll the pulpit,
and when they are singing, to peel EN-
awhile to be ready for the pot

Venice In Sprlngtime.


We say, in n cheap and careless
way, that tho Southern people have
no homes. But this is true only i'll a
restricted sense, for the Italian, and
the Venetian especially, makes the
whole city his home in pleasant wealth
en- No one remains under roof
who can help it; and now, as | said
before, the fascinating outdoor life
begins. All day long the people sit
and drink coffee and eat ices, and gos-
sip together before the cafe, and the
soft midnight sees the same dilligent
idlers in their places. The prone
raGc is at all seasons the favorite Ital-
ian amusement. Now, in the shady
little courts, the Venetian house wives,
who must perforce remain indoors,
put ont their heads and gossip from
window to window; while the pretty
water-carriers, filling the buckets from
the wells below, chatter and laugh at
their work. Every street down which
you look is likewise vocal with gossip,
and if the picturesque projection of
balconies, shutters and chimneys, of
which vista is full, hides the heads of
the gossipers, be sure there is a face
looking out of every window, for all
that, and the social expensive pres
ence of the season is felt here.
The poor whose sole luxury the
summer is, lavish the spring upon
themselves unsparingly. They come
forth from their dark dens in crumbl-
ing palaces and damp Easements, and
live in the sunlight and the welcome
air. They work, they eat, they sleep
out of doors Mothers of families sit
about their doors and spin, or walk
volubly up and down with other Stat
ternly matrons, armed with the spin
die and distatf; while their raven
haired daughters, lounging near the
threshold, chase the covert insects
that haunt the tangles of the chill
dlen's locks. Within doors shines the
bare, bald head of the grandmother,
who never ceases talking for an in
slant.
But whatever surprise for memora-
bic or beautiful Venice may prepare
for your careless forgetfulness, be
sure it will be complete and resistless.
Nay, what potenter magic needs my
Venice to revivify her past whenever
she will than the serpent cunning OF
her Grand Canal? Launched upon
this great S have | not seen hardened
travellers grow sentimental, and has

tan ministers of the gospe! to attempt
to quote out of the guide-book chat

their gondolas, and witnessed the ex-
pulsion of the newspaper from their
nature. while, lulled by the fascination
of the place, they were powerless to
take their own journals from then
pockets, and instead of politics, talked
some bewildered nonsense about com
ing back with their families next sum

THE MYSTERY OF CHOLERA = The
present manifestations of cholera in
this country do not tend to lessen the
absolute mystery of the disease. Its
grim secret seems past finding out. 1t
is raging III central Kansas and in
some parts of the Indian territory with
the same virulence that attends its at
tacks on large and neglected cities.
One would think that the primitive
freshness of the earth and sweetness
of the air on the plains would expel
the epidemic, or at least lessen its
deadliness. The frontiersman breathes
pure atmosphere, eats coarse, whole
some food, and takes abundant pbysi-
cal exercise. The conditions of his
daily life, according to popular theo-
ries, ought to render him proof against
cholera. But he dies If it with as
swift a decline as a pale faced child
bred in crowded alley. About all
we know of cholera is that it is a great
circumnaygator; and that it seems To
be rayaging the plains now because it
has got that far on its dreaded journey
back to the Orient.
