The Minerva society.

The sixth anniversary Of the Minerva Society
Of the Wesleyan Female College took place in the
College hAl1 on Wednesday evening. The hall
was crowded aud the entertainment one Of the
most pleasant that has ever been given in the in
stitution. The young ladies named on the pro-
gramms acquitted themselves in the most credita-
ble manner and delighted their auditors, who
manifested their pleasure frequently. We have
not time to particularizO, do deem it neces-
sary where ell were 80 successful in their efforts
as in this case. The Sscretary's report, by Miss
Lillian Tenny, was well read and evidenced much
thought and careful consideration. "Winding
my Watch" by Miss Voshel, was excellent and
created quite a pleasuTeable sensation. "Not
Luck, but Work." by Miss Mackie, was a very
hne piece of composition. aye Shepherds Tell
Me" gave great pleasure "John Knox" by Miss
Bush, showed q cultivation rarely found in so
young lady. and was greatly admired "Loving
and Liking" was very pleasing, aud "ThinEs
| Rather Mixed" called forth rapturous applause.
| The exercises terminated by a finely executed
piece bV the Glss Class, and the large audience
dispersed about 10 o'clock, expressing their praise
aud the pleasure they experienced at being pre-
sent. The following is the programme -

THE KU.KLUX PROSECUTIONS.

On our first page, this week, we publish an
interesting letter from Gen. j. B. Kershaw,
giving detailed account of the interviews be-
tween the President and the Attorney -Gener-
al and the Commissioners who visited Wash
ington City in behalf Of the ku-klux under
prosecution and in prison. Besides the gen.
eral interest of the letter, it also elucidates
many points in the note of the Attorney-Gen-
eral to the Commissioners, which, otherwise
might remain obscure, or be liable to miscon-
structon. In connection with the letter of
Gen. Kershaw, and in view of the many errors
contained in the note of the Attorney-General,
as telegraphed to the daily press-some of the
errors being so egregious as to entirely per-
vert the meaning intended to be conveyed-we
republish the correspondence between that Of
cial and the Commissioners. The note Of the
Attorney-G General, as published in the ENQU1R-
Err this week, is printed from the original pa
per bearing his autograph signature, and is
the only verbatim copy that has yet appeared
in print.

Horror on Potomac River.
The steamer Wawasset, running on the
Potomac river, between Washington and
Currioman, took fire at about IL o'clock on
the 9th instant, at Chatterton landing, and
was totally destroyed. There were about one
hundred and fifty passengers on board, and
between forty and fifty lives were lost. The
vessel was burnt off Chatterton landing, where
there is no wharf, the passengers and freight
for that point being discharged by small boats.
One boat had been lowered when the flames
burst out, the vessel at the time being two
hundred yards from the shore. The origin Of
the fire is unknown; but from the statements

apparently from violence, yet no marks could
be found on the outside of his body. A
burglar was finally captured with sand
club in his possession, made out of an eel skin
stuffed with sand Being closely questioned,
he explained its use. When the victim is
struck, for instance on the head, he drops
insensible, and soon dies from congestion of
the brain. Often the skull suffers no injury
from the stroke; and if the person struck re-
covers sensibility, he gradually relapses into a
condition of idiocy. Sometimes a man struck
in the body will be knocked down by the pecu-
liar force of the blow, and feel no immediate
results from it. In q few weeks, however, the
flesh will begin to mortify under the line
of the blow, and rot down to the bone.

LETTER FROM PENNSYLVANIA.

MCKEAN COUNTY, Pa., Aug. I.
Mexican county is one of the northern tier
of Pennsylvania counties, bordering the New
York line 1t is the backwoods portion of the
State, and one of the six counties that COM
pose what is known as the wildcat District.
From this section was recruited the "Bucktail
regiment" which was probably the best corps
of sharp shooters in the Federal service. They
were commanded by Thomas L. Kane, broth
er of the distinguished Artic explorer, Elisha
Kent Kane. General Kane lives in the low
er end of the county, and is extensively en-
gagged in the lumber business. He was the
Greeley candidate for Congress last year, but
suffered defeat by small majority.
This section of Pennsylvania is covered with
heavy growth of pine and hemlock' timber,
principally hemlock. 1t is cut, sawed and
RATED down the river to Pttsburg, Cincinna-
ii, and even New Orleans The surface of
the country is hilly, some of the hills rising to
the dignity of mountains. Along the streams
the soil is good and under cultivation, bring
ing an average of twenty bushels of wheat,
forty bushels of corn, and ton of hay to the
acre. There are exceptional cases where mag
nifcent results reward the husbandman. The
other day I saw about the largest Irish pota-
toes my eyes ever beheld, and was told by the
owner that he had raised three hundred bushels
of them on three fourths Of an acre Of ground.
The farmers work hard here all the year
round They cannot be idle. After haying
and harvesting is over, they take to the forests
and cut saw-logs and wood until snow falls,
which affords means of easy transportation.
The winters are very severe. Last spring the
thermometer was eighteen degrees below zero,
here, the first week of March, Snow fell in
April and May. There was a frost in June.
The thermometer to-day stands at 81 degrees,
which the inhabitants speak Of as "warm."
Last week it was down to 50 The warmest
day this summer was 80. The mountain
breezes and general elevation Of the country
cause this temperature.
New Irish potatoes and green peas are just
making their appearance Isaw the first ripe
blackberries Of the season yesterday. To-day
I found dozen, which was accounted quite
victory. Early apples are not yet ripe, and
as for peaches, there are none at any time Of
the year. They do not grow here, on account
of the short seasons and severe winters.
The water here is the best, I believe, ever
saw anywhere. 1 tested some we'll water the
other day, and found that it marked forty-6ve
degrees. Such water needs no ice Ice, how.
ever, is abundant, if people choose to use it,
Nearly every family has an ice-house. They,
are made of rough planks, with two walls
foot apart, and the space filled with saw dust
The ice is packed in saw dust, and that is all
there is about it. The streams yield it about
two feet thick, so you will observe that ice is

ciety will not, in all human probability, be
effected during the life of any man living.
After the forest is once cleared and then
permitted to grow up again, it is not until
about the third generation of trees is reached,
that permanency is attained. The second
growth is different from the first, and the third
from the second. The same is partially true
respecting the settlement of country. The
first colonizers rarely become permanent in
habitants; neither do those who Immediately
succeed them. In the third or fourth effort,
success is attained.
