SOME years ago farmer, living in
village bordering on Berks county, fur
nished one of his three sons with q sum
of money and told him to go to the
| west and remain two years, at the end
OF which time he should return to Ian
caster, stop at Scofield's, and one ofthem
would be there to meet him. The young
man started, and at the end of the speci-
fed time he returned. 1t should be pre-
missed that telegraphs were not then in
existence, the postal system was not as
perfect as to-day, and literary attain
ments were not so general as they are
now, hence no communication took
place between the brothers. He return
ed, however, as he said. His brother
was there to meet him and they both
proceeded home in a buggy. The wan
derer, after relating some of his adven-
lures, enquired ifanything had happen

the match horses died"
GOOD gracious are the matches dead
what killed then? ?r
"Why you see when the house and

Good gracious are the house and

"Well you see when daddy died, they
were carrying lights around and were
careless"
"Good gracious! and daddy dead
what was the matter with him?"
"Well, you see when our Sal went
away and got married against daddy's
wishes, he just pined away and died"
"Good gracious so nothing has hap
pened since I've been away?''
"No, everything is just the same"

A NOBLE ACT.-General Grant has
recently, we see it stated, furnished
guns, swords, cannon, caissons, &c.,
for the use of the cadets of the 'tVir-
ginia Military Institute" over which
General Lee presides, and he has
also restored to the Institute the old
"Cadet Battery" which had been
taken from it. Governor Letcher
has publicly thanked General Grant
for these favors, and the Virginians
in general it is said, are greatly
pleased with such an act of courtesy.

The special correspondent of the
New York Tribune says: "Unprinci-
pied traders, emigrants and deserters
from the United States army do all
they can to harass and vex the poor
Indian; some of them do it for the
sake of provoking an Indian war,
others are actuated merely by the
desire to plumber, steal ponies,
buffalo robes, etc, or to violate the
Indian women"
A late writer in the London quar-

GEN. CANDY New York Jour-
nal Of Commerce has the following
paragraph in relation to Gen. Candy,
in an article upon the recent changes
of district commanders:
"The appointment of Gen. Candy
in his (Sickles) place appears to be
judicious. He is all officer of dis
tinction, brave, firm, and said to be
discreet and prudent. During the
early part of the war, he was sta
toned West of the Mississippi. and
his operations were but little known
here. Our citizens had an opportu-
nifty to become acquainted with him
in 1864, during the riot times, when
he was placed in command of this
city, and were favorably impressed
with his abilities, especially his cool
ness and judgment. From this point,
he was ordered to the Department of
the Gulf, where, as far as we know,
he gave general satisfaction to all
parties and all peoples by his steady,
strong, just administration of affairs.
Recently, he has been on duty at
washington. he is thorough-gOlng
Union man, as much so as Dan.
Sickles, but has not the political
ambition, which explains, we think,
more satisfactorily than any other
hypothesis, the alterations of all the
Objectionable Southern commanders.
They seem to be thinking nll the
time about Congress and the North
ern people, rather than about the
business in hand. We trust that
Gen. Candy viii vindicate the wis
dom of the Presidents choice, in the
eyes of the world, by his strict con-
formity to the new and well-phrased
order: that he shall, when necessary
to faithful execution of the laws,
exercise any and all powers conferred
by Acts of Congress upon district
commanders, and any and all author
ity pertaining to officers in command
of military departments"

QUEEN VIcToRIA's New Work.
We have received from J. j. McCar-
ter, Esq, n neatly bound volume,
entitled "The Early Years of His
Royal Highness the Prince Consort;
compiled under the direction of Her
Majesty the Queen by Lieut.. Gen.
the Hon. G. Grey" republished by
the Harpers, of New York. The work
has been mercilessly ridiculed in the
Queens dominions, and has revived
all the old scandals against her. It is
one of the most extraordinary bio
graphies, it is thought, ever published
in England, and was written under
the immediate supervision of the
Queen, with the assistance of her
daughters. The story of Albert's
childhood is chiefly told by himself,
in extracts from his diary and his
correspondence, while his marriage is
described by himself and the Queen.
A good idea of the general character
of the book may be obtained from
the following extracts:
Prince Albert was born on the Dist
of June, 1919, at Rosenau, summer
residence of his father, the Duke oi

The WH1sKEY TAx.-The New
York Times says of the laws taxing
whiskey, that they are not only
failures financially, but they have
done more to demoralize the whole
body of officers, charged with their
execution, and to convert very large
proportion of them into shameless
knaves, than all the other laws of
our statute books.
The number of English laborers
is set down at II, 01S, GIG, and their

than the total incomes of the richer

The public have already responded nobly
to the call, but not to tho extent required
to keep starvation from making victims of
many. Additional funds must be raised at
once; the case is urgent. The Lo " Ma
nagers, after mature delibcration, have
decided to bring it before the generous
people of the North, by giving Grand
National Entertainment, trusting to their
active cooperation and symp4thizing aid
for the immediate supply IF means to en-
able them to purchase and forward food
to starving thousands. The Grand Ma
tIonal Entertainment will be given at
Washington, D. c., August 1, 1867. 800, 900
tickets will be offered for sale, at 50 each.
Every ticket will be entitled to an award,
which will take place at the came time.
Half of the amount will be in valuable
awards to the holders, and the balance will
be devoted at once by the Lady Managers
to purchasing food to be sent South for
immediate distribution among the most
needy. The Lady Managers have entered
into an arrangement with Messrs. Bentley,
Clark d Co. to superintend tho disposal Of
tickets, and conduct the entertainment in
a manner worthy the patronage and sup
port of the public.

No benefit of the afflicted, 1 send you

verely afflicted with Scrofula for the last
two years-so much so that lie has been

induced to try your preparation of

1t has acted like q charm-increased his
appetite, purified and enriched his blood,
improved his health, and although covered
with running sores, from which many
pieces OF bone worked out, yet, to my great
astonishment, all except one has healed
up: A few more bottles will accomplish a
radical cure. 1 regard your medicine n
