From ElizabethtOWn to Lebanon.

1t is now reported that the Pennsylvania
railroad company will build new line
from Elizabethtown to Lebanon. Engineers
are already at work to survey the road,
which is to lun along the Conewago creek
to Colebrook and from that place to Leba-
non. The route along the creek is beau
tiful one, the scenery is grand and the
very best, as a natural road bed runs along
the stream, requiring little or no grading.
1t is possible that after this road is CON-
pleted it may be extended further north,
so as to connect with the South Mountain
road, which will place us in directive
communication with air lines running
through the entire length of the country.
This idea may be little premature.

Gen. Suffers Claim.

A special meeting of the House commit.
tee on claims was held ON Wednesday to
receive the report of the sub committee
upon the claim of General John A. Sutter,
the first discoverer of gold in California.
The report favors an appropriation OF
O,0OO to satisfy General Suffers claim,
and was unanimously adopted by the COM
mittee, and ordered to be reported to the
House upon the call of the committee.
Gen. Sutter has been striving for fifteen
years past to get some compensation for
his losses from the government, and now at
last he seems in a fair way to succeed. His
career and his claim are well known to our
readers, the famous old general residing in
Lititz.

WE publish the appeal of William H.
Kemble, for pardon. 1t is characteristic
of his impudence. People who know him
will not believe him when he says he
sinned ignorantly, and that he had no in
terest in the bill which he admits that
he used corrupt means to have passed.
It is an outrage that such a notorious
man should so presume upon condition
of public decentralization as to ask for a
pardon. But the act of the board of
pardons in making special meeting to
hear his case before he is sentenced, is
an insult to the just judge who will have
the sentencing of him, and an affront to
the people of the whole state, who must
view suspiciously this first favorable step
toward his pardon.
1t is time the people were moving to
demonstrate their opposition.

NEW HOLLAND,

News and Gossip from the EarIs-FrOm an
Occasional Correspondent.
What has become of your former cores
pondent from New Holland? His long
silence prompts us to take up the pencil in
order to keep the public posted as to the
doings of this town and vicinity.
On Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Amos Wit
mer, living about one mile east of Blue
Ball, an estimable woman, in the prime of
life, while engaged in some household du-
ties, fell to the floor and instantly expired.
We have not learned when the interment
will take place.
Preparations are now in progress to cele-
brate the one hundred and tiftieth anniver-
sary Of the Lutheran congregation of this
town. The affair will come off in May
next.
Last night (Thursday)a grand hop came
off at the Styer house. About fifty invi-
tation had been sent out, and a pleasant
time was enjoyed by all who participated.
This evening Fritlay) there will be
another one at the Red Lion hotel, kept by
E. D. Kutzs, proprietor Of the 6 limited
mail" between this place and Lancaster.
In the afternoon he will have a pubic sale
and it will be supplemented in the evening
by grand dance which can be participated
i'm without the regulation invitation cards.
There'll be fun alive there and don't you
forget it.
One "Yorick, in last Saturdays En-
aminer, sarcastically goes for that prince
of epicureans, w. w. d., whose crumbs
repeatedly fall upon the table of that
paper. We can heartily say amen to
Yorick's" article, and we desire to ask
through your columns, who, in the name
of common sense, is Squire Thop, whose
diary is semi-occasionally extracted from
his pocket and the contents copied, we
suppose, rerbotim in the New Era. We
should like to know who he is. Your So
luton of the "gem" puzzle appeared in
the Clarion few weeks ago, so you can
not claim the prize.
The tobacco establishments of Il. II. Bru-
baker, of your city, are still booming and
will no doubt continue to boom for some
time to come. Speaking of tobacco reminds
us of the unusual activity and hustle
among our farmers preparatory to raising
the weed the coming season. There have
been at least a half dozen tobacco
sheds erected in this section
within the past two months by as
many farmers. Every foot Of available
ground will be tilted by raising tobacco.
If the craze ontinues, however, in course
of another year or so the arrangements
for getting to the foreign markets will be
different. Already we hear whisperings of
farmers "pooling their issues" The new
arrangement will be that five or six farmers
will go together and put upa packing es-
tablishment and use the several months of
leisure time in winter in sorting and pack
ing it and then dispose of it. The new
schedule issued by the p. r. r. for our
railroad gives us half hour more in
Philadelphia and we can go to New York
and back the same day. We now get to
the city at S:35.

THE Examiner manifests great dis
tress lest the INTELLIGENCER may
never find itself in such a servile posi-
tion as the local Cameron organ, which
is driven from pillar to post by its un'
happy devices to serve its master and YET
not outrage the local sentiment of its
party. Life is really getting miserable
to our once amiable contemporary, since
it contrasts the harmony and decency of
the Democracy in this county with the
strife of the return tinkers and ballot
box suffers, fabricators of bogus tax re-
ceipts and fraudulent naturalization
papers, prison ringsters and poor house
jobbers, who lead its party by the nose.

Keep Cool.


Indiana Democrat.
To the Wallace and the Randall Barr
Democrats, everywhere, we say keep
cool. We do not belong to either fac
tion-want no Kilkenny fight ''-only
want straightforward, honest, square,
fighting Democrat nominated for presi-
dent, and then we will all work together
If not, no matter if Andrew Jackson Or
the Apostle Paul were nominated, we can
not win. We are opposed to "reading
men out of the party" until we get more
in-then we can afford it. Wallace is not
the Democratic party, no more than Sam.
Randall and Jas. P. Barr Let all throw
away their personal attachment for men,
and concentrate their efforts in restoring
Democratic principles in the conduct Of
the government. The main object is to
win-to uncover the rottenness of the past
twenty years-to restore to all the "sons
of America " the freedom of thought and
opinion-in sholt to let the people rule.

to swear according to the dictates of any

patients of DR.. Greene, and had seen
Campbell selling his worm medicine. In
answer to a question from DR.. Greene. DR..
BlackwOod explained the manner of ad-
mitting members to the Lancaster county
medical society. In brief, applicants must
be of good moral character, must have
had good preliminary education and
thorough medical education, and have
been graduated by some reputable medical
college. The applicant must be proposed
at stated meeting by two members, the
proposition must be referred to the board
Of censors, and if they report favorably
he may be elected at the succeeding meet
ing, if three-fourths of the members pres
ent concur. DR.. Greene had never been
proposed for membership and witness
thought he never would be. The frater-
nifty regarded DR.. Greene's mode of adver-
tisement as proof Of quackery and charla-
tanism. The statement that he had treated
1,5OO cases in Reading and had not lost n
patient was prepOsterOus and impossible.
DR.. Greene called the witness atten-
ton to the report Of the Reading board of
health. In Reading every physician is
compelled by law to report to the board of
health every birth or death attended by
them respectively, and the board reported
that not one of his (Dr. Greene's) patients
had died.
DR.. Blackwood said that that was suffi-
cient evidence that DR.. Greene had not
treated !, 500 patients.
DR.. Greene said he had no doubt DR.,
Blackwood would deem it marvellous that

them killed, but it was nevertheless fact

Christ our Lord.

Jesus Christ is the most certain. the
most sacred the most glorious, of all
facts; arrayed in beauty and majesty
which throws the starry heaven above
us and the normal law within us" into
obscurlty, and fills us truly with ever
growing reverence and awe He shines
forth with the self-evidencing light of the
MONDAY sun. He is too great, too pure,
too perfect, to have been invented by
any sinful and erring man. His charac-
ter and claims are confirmed by the sub
finest doctrine, the purest ethics, the
mightiest miracles, the grandest spiritual
kingdom, and are daily and hourly
exhibited In the virtues and graces of all
who yield to the regenerating and sane
tlfying power of his spirit and example.
The historical Christ meets and satisfies
all our intellectual and moral wants.
The soul, if left to its noblest impulses
and aspirations instinctively turns to
Him, as the needle to the magnet, as the
flower to the sun, as the painting hart to
the fresh fountain. We are made for
Him, and "our heart is without rest
until it rests in Him." He commands
our admiration, He overwhelms us with
adoring wonder. We cannot look upon
Him without spiritual benefit. We can
not think of Him without being elevated
above all that is low and mean, and en-
couraged to all that is good and noble
The very hem of His garment is healing
to the touch. One hour spent in His
communion outweighs all the pleasures
of sin. He is the most precious and
indispensable gift of a merciful God to a
fallen world. In Him are the treasures
of true wisdom, in Him the fountain of
pardon and peace, in Him the only
substantial hope and comfort in this
world and that which is to come. Man
kind could better afford to lose the whole
literature of Greece and Rome, of Germa-
ny and France, of England and America,
than the story of Jesus of Nazareth.
Without Him history is dreary waste,
an inextricable enigma, chaos of facts
without meaning, connection and aim
with Him it is a beautiful, harmonious
revelation of God, the slow but sure
unfolding of plan of infinite wisdom
and love.-FTanceS R. Havergaz.

How to Begin.

When Lucius Won Machtholf was asked
how he carried on religious intercourse
with individuals, he wrote:
l know no other tactics than first Of
all to be heartily satisfied with ma God
even if He should favor me with no Wis
IDLE, sensible blessing in my vocation
Also, to remember that preaching and
conversation are not so much ma work
as the outcome of the love and Joy of the
Holy Ghost in my heart, and, after
wards, on my lips Further, that I must
never depend upon any previous fervor
or prayers of mine, but upon God s
mercy, and Christ's dearly purchased
rights and most holy intercession; and
cherishing burning love to Christ and
to souls, [ must constantly seek for
wisdom and gentleness 1 would also
leave everything to Gods direction and
inspiration, not thinking much of out
ward appearances, or of special gifts
granted to individuals. Many kernel
would have been finer and more beauti-
full if it had remained longer IN the she'll,
unknown and hidden from the world.
Finally, I would guard myself from i'm
agining that know beforehand what
would say, but go to Christ for every
good word have to speak, even to a
child, and submit myself to the Holy
Spirit as the Searcher of hearts, who,
knowing the individuals 1 have to do
with, will guide and teach me when,
where, and how to speak"
BE always following, never going be-
fore 1t were better to be sick in tent
under burning sun, and Jesus sitting
at the tent door, than to be enchanting a
thousand listeners where Jesus was not.
Be as day la6orer only in Gods har-
vest field, ready to be first among the
reapers IN the tall corn, or just to sit and
sharpen another's SICKLE Have an eve
to Gods honor, and have no honor of
your own to have an eye to. Lay it in
the dust, and leave it there. Never let
your own inner life get low in your
search after the lives of others"
