Upon lifting the cover to look further
into the handsome present, they we're
astonished to hear strains of low, sweet
music arising from some invisible agency.
Upon examination there was found q
small musical cylinder concealed near
the back cover of the album, which
would operate only as the leaves were
turned, ceasinga as soon as the album was
closed. The first fewspaces In the album
were occupied by finely executed photo
graphic scenes of Berne and vicinity,
which stand out in bold relief rarely
seen in the Photographic view: these ar
tistic views are followed by the photo
graphs Of all the members Of Fellenburg

at Bauhof Brothers, to see this elegant
present when it was opened, and many
others who have heard Of 1t, have since
called TO look on the rare curiosity.

A BEAUTIFUL MEMENro. - Nearly a
year ago, few members of Mannheim
Lodge, /. o. o. F., of Canton, who are
natives Of Berne, Switzerland, wishing to
learn something definite concerning the
welfare of their fraternity in the place OF
their nativity, wrote an enquiring letter
and forwarded it, accompanied by a
handsomely wrought copy of the Lords
Prayer, to the Odd Fellows of Berne.
On last Saturday their enquiries were re-
warded by the receipt of package from
Berne, addressed to Mannheim Lodge.
Upon opening, the package was fonnd to
contain an elaborately finished album of
large size, beautifully bound and orna-
mented, and bearing the following in
scription on the front cover:

Chester County Field Notes.

THE DRouaAT AND THE oRoPs-PRosPEcTs FOR
THE AUTUMN YIELD.
The West Chester Mems, in q review Of the
condition and promise of the crops, says
The long drought which has been experienced
with more or less severity in some sections III
not 30 marked in it's effect upon vegetation as
might be supposed. There is a fair growth of
secondary clover, and fields that have pas
lnred much still look quite green. Corn is prob
ably not no tall AZ usual, and as rule the ears
may not be 10 large and heavy, but many fields
nave the dark green appearance that betokens
health and thrift Grass fields that have been
pastured look bare and brown, and are evidently
suffering, and this is where the worst effect of
the drought ID felt. There is a consequent falling
on m the milk and butter product that may cause
aserlous vacuum in the pockets of our farmers.
The orchards are generally well filled with
iruit though the fruit is somewhat smaller than
usual.
The cider apple trees that did not bear last
year will now produce fair crop, and those
which then bore freely are this season nearly
hproductive. The fruit will not be of large
SIZE, owing to the want of moisture. Pear trees
nave generally born we'll. The pear has not
Oeen grown enough in this county to become
much of market fruit, but 30 many young trees
nave been set out OF late years that this state oi
tshlngh will be changed, Pears no doubt will b'
round quite as profitable as apples at this dis
lance from the city. Peaches, in some of the
prehards are yielding fair crop as % quantity
unt the quality is not quite up to the mark.

With what degree of satisfaction and pleasure
the people of our community of both political
parties looked upon the action Of the Democrat
ic State Convention in nominating Judge Wood
row for the Supreme Judgship, will not at
tempt to describe. Everyone was glad to
know the fact, but sorry, after second thought,
to think that we would have to surrender h i'm

remarkable a head, and one 30 universally loved,
The news was received with cheers from every

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
One of the biggest (at least it was intended
that it should bel times that we have had in our
city since the opening of the Berks County Rail
road was the Democratic Convention held at the
Academy of Music on Monday. From beginning
to end the affair disgrace to the party, and
the nominations made were the mere staple of
firm styled the "Grasshopper Ring" More
than a week before the appointed time for hold
ing the Convention ticket had been framed
and determined upon by the Ring,, and when
tile Democracy were all drawn in, under one roof,
the ring WAS attached to each OF their noses and
| the whole mass of them tied down to a stake till
their ticket was unanimously adopted. Never be-
| fore were there so many applicants for office on
the Democratic platform in this county as there
were week ago, and never before were there
such large pack of politicians sold.

many, and were it not that their majority il
Berks usually exceeds 5000, the Republicans
might take hold with prospect OF success. Il
their ticket averages 4,5Q majority this fall, i
will be by great effort.

SOME INCIDENTS IN THE RAIDS OF THE EXCURSION
IsTs UPON THE ORCHARDS, &o.
[From the State Sentinell
Thursday, the 27th day of Aug. 1874, will be
long remembered by those who suffered depre-
dations by the crowd of roughs that infested our
town on that day. Mr.. John W. Smith, living
out State street, had all his watermelons stolen
by them. MIR. Jas. l.. Smith, member OF the
Democratic Central Committee, and who called
the Convention to order, also had a visit from
them. While he Was attending the Convention,
his Democratic friends were paying their re-
spects to his peach orchard, and not satisfied
with stripping the trees of their fruit, broke the
trees badly. All kinds of fruit green as well as
ripe, suffered at their hands. Mrs. Coroner
Cats had all the grapes that ehe had on a
young vine stolen by them. Messrs. Richard
son & Robbins had to shut up all the PASSAGE
ways leading into their factory to keep out this
horde of corniordnts. 1t was "anything to eat
with them, no matter what. Mr.. Fred Williams
also suffered in the loss of pears. We think
that this trip has given the Democrats here
abouts enough of having free rides, especially
for such crowd as was here on that dsy-many
of whom deliberately appropriated to their own
use whatever they thought they wanted, without
asking the privilege of any one.

A Quaint Religious Rate.

THE ORDINANCE OF FEET-wAsHINo IN A PITTsBURa
CHURCH.
The Pittsburg Leader, Of September l, says
Yesterday evening an unusually interesting ser
vice was held in the Winebrennarian Church on
Townsend street, Rev. s. Woods, pastor, during
which the ordinance Of feet washing was attend
ed to with due1solemnity This is the only de-
nomination that now observes this custom,
which was 30 common among the early Chris
tianB. The house was packed full; even the
aisles were seated, and yet many had to go away
on account Of their being no place to stand
The services commenced by reading the Scrip
lures, singing and prayer. Following this, two
persons, man and wife, were admitted to mem
bership, upon public profession Of their faith
in Christ and an acceptance of the New Testa-
ment AZ their all-Bufficient rule of life. The ser
mon was very plain, simple and unpretending,
but seemed to have a magical effect. Its simple
ity was its strength Many Of those present were
moved to tears, while some wept aloud.
After the close of the sermon the pastor an
nounced that the ordinance OF feet-washing
would be attended to. He pointed to the IN
stances recorded in the Sacred Writings OF Its
observance, and to the command not to neglect
it. 1t was symbol Of the meekness and lowl-
ness of the Christian, merely monumental in
stitution, the observance of which has a tenden-
| cy to make them more humble and meek i'll the
| presence of Good
Those desiring to participate in the observance
| of the ordinance occupied front seats, and were
waited upon by a brother and sister, who each
| took pail Of water, and an apron, more after
the style Of an ancient girdle, serving the pur-
| pose of a towel. One by one they bathed the
feet of each and dried them with the girdle.
Each was saluted with kiss both male and fe-
male, and the ancient custom followed in
every particular. Those who wers there through
curiosity crowded forward until those in front
were placed in very close quarters
| Tle evenings exercises closed by administer
ing the holy communion, in which ali orthodos
| Christians, who were such because Of their love
for Christ were invited to participate. At the
close of the exercises the excitement greatly in
creased, and until ten o'clock the services were
| continued.

Reading Is close voting city. No party over
receives much of a majority, or is able to be
master of the situation often in succession.
Mayors, Aldermen &C., have been elected by
four and five majority within quite recent years.
The city, at the last election, was carried by the
Democracy, and the one previous, when the
Mayor WAS elected, by the Republicans. Who
will be successful now it is hard to predict.
Each party feels positive Of being able to over
come the other by little effort. and 30 the mat
ter stands. The Democrats have nominated
Amos b. Warner, Esq, for the North Ward, and
Michael Mccullough for the South--a ticket
which does not universally give satisfaction to
our Democrats. Who the Republicans will take
up we cannot predict, but we have heard it re-
marked that Mr.. Thos. @. Zimmerman, editor of
the Times and Dispatch, will be one of them,
If he will accept. MFR. y. is popular man, much
liked among the Republicans of the city, and
has many friends in the Democracy who would
vote for him in preference to their own candi-
dates.
