LECTURE BY REy. Thomas GUARD.-It is
with real pleasure that we call the attention
OF our readers to the notice of the Lecture on
Self-Government," by Rev. Mr.. Guard, Of
Baltimore, which appears in another column
OF this issue. Only few of our citizens have
had an opportunity Of hearing Mr. Guard, and
they speak in terms of unbounded qualification
OF his eloquence aud thought. This being
the first time he has ever visited our town,
those who can value and appreciate an intel
lectual feast will now have an opportunity of
listening to this most attractive orator. West
minister has not had any very edifying or in
structiye entertainment this season, and it is
to be hoped that upon the present occasion it
will be shown that there is an element in our
midst capable Of prizing such an effort and
sufficiently large to at least give tone and
standing to the community. OF Mr.. Guard
himself, it is perhaps superhuous to speak.
Like most Of his countrymen (he halls from
lreland) he is n most rapid aud easy speaker.
indeed the words seem impelled by some
power which pours them forth as torrent,
carrying the orator and his audience in one
and the same channel. His wonderful and
fertile imagination pictures everything in the
most brilliant colors, making even the most
common place things bright and impressive,
and at the same time points them with an in.
cisiveness and force that compels conviction.
Let our e't;yers Generally, not fail to avail
themselves OF This opportunity of hearing Mr..
Guard. " Self Government is the one great
lesson of Life. HE that oyercometh him
self is mightier than he that taketh city,
We confidently predict that the audience of
Mr.. Guard will feel most amply repaid. The
Lecture will be delivered in Centenary NJ. L.
Church, Of this city, on Monday evening,
December Sth, at "a o'clock.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.


The RETiRISa OFFIcERs. John u. Bowie.
Esq, Clerk Of the Circuit Court, rctires from
a position he has held for l4years. Mr.. Bowie
was appointed Clerk BY Gov. Philip Francis
Thomas, in 1850, and held the Office until the
adoption Of the Constitution Of 1851, which
made all the Offices elective Mr.. BOYLE was
elected and served out the term Of six years,
and was elected 10 the same position in 1857.
We believe it is the general opinion Of the
Bench and Bar and OF all others who have
had business with the Clerks Office, that Mr..
Boyle has been very efficient in the discharge
Of his duties, and in retiring TO private life be
has the gratifying assurance that during his
official career he has won the esteem o. all,
and drawn around himself host Of devoted
friends and admirers
Joseph M. Parke, EssS the retiring Regis
ter Of Wills has been an efficient officer. He
seemed to have peculiar fitness for the pc.
sition, and it is said that he is one Of the best
informed testamentary lawyers in the State.
Mr.. Parke was appointed Register by the Or
phans' Court in 1888, to I'll the vacancy coca.
stoned by the death Of Mr.. John Baumgard.
ner, and has held the Office with the exception
OF two years up TO the present time. MANY
persons were anxious for Mr. Parke TO be a
candidate for reelection, but he declined to
serve again.
George N. Fringcr, who was elected on the
Republican ticket, two years ago, as Sheriff,
has discharged his duties in very satisfactory
manner. While in office he made a host Of
friends, and their good wishes follow him TO
his retirement.
Aessrs. Hoppe, Spurrier and Frank, the
late County Commissioners, retire from their
official station with the good will of tho ma
jority Of the people. No Office in the gift of
the people Is more harrassing than that of
County Commissioner, and If the old board
have offended some, we feel assured it was
an error Of the head not of the heart In
all their multifarious duties they endeavored
to act for the good Of the whole aud as their
best Judgment dictated
Jabez A. Bush, Esq, was appointed by the
old Board Of Commissioners as Clerk and
Treasurer and the people were so well pleas
ed with the mnnnerin which he conducted the
affairs of the Office that he was elected to the
same position for two years more. Mr.. Bush
enters upon his official duties with two years
experience in that capacity, and also with the
same experience as County Commissioner.
de has made one Of the most efficient Clerks
the county ever had.

KEEP Your PAvEMESrs CLEAS.-The City

Ak LEGENDARY FIRE-A DAsrARpLY Acr.
On Saturday night last, about IL o'clock,
two wheat stacks, containing about $50 bush
els, belonging to DR.. Jacob Rinehart and Mr..
Samuel Warehime, who is tenant on DR.. Rine.
harris farm, were destroyed by FIRE. The
wheat was stacked in the extreme end
Of the farm, and off from the public roads.
About 10 o clock the same night son of Mr..
Warehime passed the wheat and everything
was in its usual condition. As soon as the
fire was discovered the farm bell was rung,
which aroused the neighbors, who proceeded
to the burning stacks, but they were unable to
save them, as the fire seemed to have been
kindled between the rails, which were used to
keep it Oft the ground, about the middle Of the
stacks. While standing around the burning
stacks several pistol shots we're heard in the
woods adjoining. The FIRE was not thoroughly
extinguished until Tuesday The loss viii be
about $500. Mr.. Warehime has been unu.
sually unfortunate prior to the fire, hay
ing lost several horses and cows, and on Sat.
urday afternoon he lost another COW. The
fire was undoubtedly the work of an incendi.
airy, and if the parties had been captured sum
mary punishment would have been meeted to
them on the spot.

The MOdOcs.

The chances for an iIterIninable In
dian war are first rate. After the muir
der of Gen. Candy by Capt. Jack our
forces attacked the Modocs in their lava
bed stronghold. They shelled them so
vigorously that they finally fled i'll haste,
leaving number of dead Indians in
their hiding places. Our loss was light.
Since that time our troops have been
busy hunting up the fleeing foe. One
account says they have been found in
another stronghold more difficult to
approach than the first and other ac-
counts represent them as having eS-
capped entirely. 1t looks like bad Job
at best. In fair Stant-up fight they
could of course be eXterminated, but in
their hiding places among the rocks and
caves the task will not be an easy one
for Uncle Sam to conquer a permanent
peace.
1t is not very consoling to think that
possibly this murder of Gen. Candy WAS
prompted by i'll treatment of our own.
The history of the former massacre of
Modocs is published by the California
papers. 1t seems that i'll 1852 North
California was disturbed by Indian
troubles and company, under the
command of Capt. Benjamin Wright,
was organized and proceeded from Yre-
ka to the Indian country around Tule
Lake and the lava beds and fought
three unsuccessful battles, the force be-
ing insufficient for the subsection of the
Modocs. They returned to Yreka and
organized large force, then marched
again to the MOdoc country. APP
preaching they found the Modocs' sup
| ply Of blankets ammunition and food
entirely exhausted. and consequently
the ModOcS were anxious for a ceSSa-
tion of hostilitieS. Capt. Wright re-
ceived the ModocS' oveItureS with
great cordiality, peace conference
was agreed upon and place appointed
in the immediate vicinity of the masSa-
ere of Gen. Candy. AT the conference
about twenty-five Indians and thirty
white men were assembled; while dis
cnssing terms Wright gave his men the
signal and in a moment they killed
eighteen Modocs. Seven MOdocS eS-
capped and We're pursued. These were
the fathers of the present Modocs.
Capt. Jack was then but nine years
old, John Schonchin nineteen, Boston
Charley and Hooker jim two years. 1t
is probable that revenge grew with age,
eliminating i'll the Canby-Thomas mas
sacre.
Some years afterwards Wright was
appointed Indian agent at Rogue River
and was apprehensive of Modoc ven
geance. One night an Indian chief,
Enos, murdered and terribly mutilated
Wright, and was afterwards captured
and hanged. He died eXulting that he
had wreaked vengeance on the leader
of the massacre of his tribe.

but a small number of men remain

but a small number of men remain
ON it.
They seem to have penetrated far
ther north than any vessel has ever
gone before. We cut theefollowing
from the long account:
DR.. Hayes, the wellknown Arctic
explorer, who was interviewed yes
terday, expresses the opinion that
the P0taris was unfit for the service
and that there was no discipline on
board her, but that Captain Hall has
proven that Smiths Sound is naviga-
BILE and is the true pass to the Polar
Sea, which he seems to have reached,
though driven back by drifting ice
fields or gales ofwind. DR.. Hayes can
not understand why the ship, when so
near Northumberland Island, should
have been drawn upon the ice and
discharged her cargo upon it. de
thinks there was dissension on board
and that it looks as though the party
cut off from the ship had been deter
mined to leave her.
But Captain Hall has done glo-
rious thing. He has gone farther
north with the ship than any huma !
being ever did before, although 9TH
ers have gone as far in sledges, and
the PolariS was 219 miles further
north than Kane's ship. Hayes says
it almost looks as if Hall was killed
by one of his men in a mutinv, for
he never knew any one dying in that
region from apoplexy, and Hall did
not look like an apoplectic man.
Hayes believes the rest of the crew
ale yet alive, and that the P0taris
will return here by September next.
Professor Baird, of the Smithson-
ian Institute, thinks the expedition
far from a failure, and has no doubt
realized many OF the objects in view
in sending it out.

Chief Justice Chase.

Salmon p Chase, of Ohio, Chief JUS
tice of the Supreme Court of the United
States, died this morning at ten O'Clock
at the residence of his daughter in New
York city. For several years past, in
fact since his elevation to the Supreme
Bench, the health of the Chief Justice
has been slowly and steadily passing
away. His magnificent physique has
been reduced to a mere wreck of its
former self, and certainly of late he has
not been able to perform the full share
of judicial labor incident to his position.
His capacity for work has been impaired
although the keenness of his intellect
may have remained undiminished. His
disease was of the brain and nervous
system, and at times required Austen
tion from all mental labor. Last veal
