THE RINGING Rocks OF PoTTsTowN.
Fottstown, Pa, can boast of as great a
curiosity, says the Philadelphia Press,
as nearly any town in tie Union. We
speak OF the Ringing Rocks that are
situated three and a hall miles north
east OF Pottstown Postotfice. We
started early i'll the morning, and after
walking through and gazing on AS fine
and picturesque scenery as can be
found in this state, we came in sight of
the rocks. A wilder looking place it is
hard to imagine. On the rocks are ad.
verliSements and autog raphs OF people
from all parts of the country. There
is an eating and refreshment stand
close by tor parties. etc. On striking
the rocks With a hammer they send
forth as rich and delicate sounds as the
finest music box. BY striking differ
ent rocks We get sounds OF every note
of an octave, and it is certainly the
oldest freak of natur we have ever
sren. The rocks cover about IN acre
of ground, and are a perfect mass of
confusion, being piled together as II
they had been upheaved by an erup
ton. They are visited every summer
10y hundreds OF people.

The Presidents Policy.

At the caucus of the republican y. s. Sena-
tors, last Saturday, Mr.. Ednunds and the va
rious other Senators who waited upon the Presl'
dent on Tuesday evening gave verbal account
of what occurred at that interview. They re-
ported that the President, 10 response to their
statements Of the widespread uneaslDeSs and
dissatisfaction which had been created among
his party friends By his appointments OF demo
Gratis to Southern Offices, &C., had argued that
his policy 10 this regard was not prtJudlc!al to
the interests of the republican party. aud Ger.
tainly not adopted BY him from any want OF
earnest desire for the perpetuatlon and mainte'
nance of republican power and principles. On
the contrary, it was his expectation and belief
that the pursuance OF this policy would promote
coalition of the old Wing and various other
elements naturally opposed to the democratic
party 10 the South and eventually secure Blk or
eight Southern States for the republicans. All
the Senators who were present at the Interview
expressed themselves to the caucus IS being
convinced that the President was thoroughly
sincere in this belief They also reported that
the President said he was very DESTROYS to be
in harmony with the leaders Of the party, and
was gratifed to have had the opportunity of
ascertainiug thus definitely and clearly the
views which had been expressed ia the caucus.
Advice and candid criticism would always be
welcome to him, and 10 closing be said he hop.
ed aud believed that there would be less cause
for complaint in the future, and in any event,
if there should be differences Of opinion, there
need be DO occasion for i'll feeling. and he trust
ed there would be none. After the reports had
been made to the caucus, free discussion en-
sued as to the propriety and the probable ef
fscts OF the Presidents policy 10 case it should
be pursued by him aud acquiesced in by the
Senate. The interchange Of views developed
| an almost unanimous opinion that the policy oil
appointing democrats to Office in the South is
| not wise or sound and even those Senators
who arc most distiuctively Known as friend:
of the Administrator" expressed doubts
| whether lis pursuance would have the effect oil
which the President is sanguine.

Of Cowan's Station, descending grade OF about
sixty feet to the mile, the locomotive struck
cross ties which had been placed vertically 10
narrow culyert so as to allow them to protrude
about two feet above the roadbcd. The engine
was lifted from the rails, and ran on the ties
for nearly 100 yards before it was capsized into
shallow ditch, as was also the tender, both
being completed demolished. The engineer
and fireman remained at their posts uoll the
locomotive capsized. and were scalded 10 hor-
rible manner. They were removed to house
close by, where they fingered in intense agony
during the night. The fireman died at three
