There is evidently a healthy reaction
from the tendency which has existed for
several years among farmers in this sec
ton, of keeping cows exclusively for dairy
purposes. There is quite an extended in
quiry now for Durham and Hereford cows
from which to breed steers. both for beef
and as draught animals. The high prices
and brisk demand for good beef also the
scarcity Of first-class work oxen has doubt
less instigated this. for it is well known
that the male progeny of the average
dairy cow is not profitable to raise for
either of these purposes.

HER SHIP.

'Nhen my ship comes in from sea
happy bride shall be-
sang maiden. blthe and gay,
As she watched the ocean gray.
But the song fond and true
Ne'er will reach her ships brave crew.
They have perished meath the wave,
Found in ocean depths a grave.
And the maiden waiting there,
Pure and good and wOndrous fair,
Must wait on through weary years.
Change her bridal veil for tears.
When her "ship comes in from sea"
Twill n glorious meeting be
For the gates Of pearl will open
With the lovers tie uDbroken.

THERE can he no doubt that the bet
ter legal and popular judgment of the
country will approve the views upon
Judge Advocate Swaim's action in the
Mason case, which are SO fOrcibly ex-
pressed i'm the Herald article reprinted
on our first page to-day. 1t agrees ex.
actly with the sentiments:;of this journal
expressed before, and cannot fail to ac-
cord with those of all lllaw-abiding people.
The attempt to justify Mason's offense
was bad enough, but not unnatural on
the part of the thoughtIess, but when a
semi judicial officer like Swain so tray
estes the law he deserves the severest
reprobaticn. The popular tendency to
misapprehend the nature of Mason's Of
tense is thus fitly rebuked by that con-
servative journal, the Baltimore Sun:
Mason's offense cannot be excused on
sentimental grounds. For Guiteau or his
crime there can be nothing but absolute
detestation and adherence, but it is de-
testation and adherence that the self.re-
spect as we'll as the safety of tho country
requires to be shown in legal methods and
processes. One assassination does not
justify another, and there could be no
surer way of encouraging this mode of
avenging wrongs than by following the
example which the assassin has set. The
offense in Mason's case was heightened by
the fact that he was entrusted with tho
protection of the life which he endeavored
to take. He committed not only dan
gerous breach of military discipline,
which, if suffered to 60 unpunished, might
but ic :,ssailed tic dignity and sovereignty

Lancaster Graduates a,.. Jefr !"

At the annual commencement of the
Jefferson Medical college, in the Academy
CT Music, Philadelphia, yesterday, the de-
gree of doctor in medicine was conferred
upon 241 young men. The academy was
thronged with the friends of the young
doctors, and the flowers presented formed
two immense pyramids on each side of the
stage. Among the graduates were the
following from this city A. B. Hirsh,
son of Herman Hirsh, j. J. Stewart, son
of James Stewart and D. r. McCOr-
mick, Ed. B. Elyus. son of A. C. Ilyus, of
Neffsville, was also among the proud re-
cipients of the coveted sheepskins. These
are all we'll known and popular young
gentlemen, who9 will no doubt do credit
to the profession of their choice. DR..
Hirsh has already received an appointment
at the hospital connected with the college
and in the distribution Of prizes he was
also accorded honorable mention for the
report on surgical clinics at the Pennsyl-
vania hospital.

in Philadelphia. He has for two years
been keeper of the animals in Stoves
menagerie. He states that he was asleep
under one of the cages on the forward
part of the lower deck when the cry of fire
was given. He leaped forth, looked about
but saw no fire. Then he looked again
and saw the entire centre OF the boat a
mass of flames. As soon as the boat
touched the coal feet he jumped ashore.
A cage containing lion sank down in
the middle as the flames enveloped it.
He heard no cry from any of the animals
as they were being burned alive. In the
meantime Wash Smith, the colored ca p
tain of the watch, is in Jail, having been
arrested on warrant sworn out by the
attorney general in the criminal court,
who charges him with murder through
carelessness. Preparations are being made
to have diver 90 down into the wreck
of the steamer tomorrow, and then it will
positively be known how many lives are
lost. Twenty seven are known to be
dead, mostly women and children, and
eight are at the city hospital suffering
from burns, but none supposed to be dan
gerous!y hurt.

The Latest NoWs From the borough.
A parlor entertainment was held last
evening at the residence of Mrs. Harvey
Brackbill, on Main street, consisting Of
pantomimes, charades, vocal and instru-
mental music, following which came the
most pleasant feature Of the evening, re-
freshments. After partaking fully, the as
sembly of hearers dispersed highly pleased
with the way in which they had been en-
tertained.
Since February 9 there have been eight
burials and six removals in our cemetery.
An old cure for broken heart-a new
beau.
''Variety is the spice of life" is an old
homely adage-a truism, if not an elegant
one, and perhaps that is tho reason the
stock holders of Massasoit hall believing
in this adage permitted a ball to be held
in their hall on the 22d, which was not
only disgrace to the good people Of the
borough, but also a reprOach upon the
stock holders good name. While we
believe those interested in the hall were
misinformed as to the nature of the party,
and character of the majority of the
participat0rs. Nevertheless it is q
well known fact to many that
Strasburg has not for many years
been visited by such riotOus, beer-bibing
crowd. FOS good Or evil. how great the
powers of influence. The companions
we select in youth-the surroundings amid
which our lot is cast and for that very rea-
son care should be taken to keep out of our
midst gatherings that have an immoral
tendency, and it is hoped that this shall be
the last time our borough will have its
peaceful slumbers disturbed by such a
crowd of profigates.

Losses and Insurance.
Only the walls of Walker hall, with a
chimney or two, are now standing. The
walls are badly cracked and broken in
certain places, and it is supposed they can.
not be used in rebuilding. The total loss
is about S1S5, 900, $125, 900 on the building
itself, $40, 900 on the Shepard cabinet and
$15, 900 ON the philosophical apparatus,
besides the loss of valuable paintings and
records. There is an insurance of $72,-
600 on the property, and on the cabinet,
$50, 900. The philosophical apparatus is
insured for $1,000. The loss on the
Sheppard meteorological cabinet is great.
1t cost the college $40, 600, which was con-
siderably less than two-thirds of the value
as appraised by Professor Brush, of New
Haven, and the work of carefully reclassi-
flying it had just been completed. The
whole cabinet is destroyed, though mum
ber of rare gems and crystals and all the
finer small meteorites were locked up in
the vault and are probably safe. The
larger meteOrites had also by chance been
removed from the building on Monday
previous to the fire.

AN OLD SCORE.

NeigLbor Grier Wanted to Fay IL In Hams.
The following appears in the Jersey
Shore Herald of this week;
COLUMBIA, Pa, March 20, 1882.
EDITOR HERALD On the afternoon of
the 18th of September, 1862, the Fifth
Pennsylvania Reserves passed through the
village of Reedysville, Md, and rested in a
field near the town. The writer and Ser
geant George H. Blackwell visited the
village and went into the yard of a house
and there found smoke house. 1t was
locked with paddock, but we got an iron
bar and drew the staple. Therein we found
some hams and each of us took one, and
started for the camp. We got our booty
safe to our quarters, and then went back,
and found the lady of the house in the
yard crying about her lost hams, for by
this time all were gone. Now, this ham
business has been on my mind ever since
and last week I addressed the postmaster
at that place to see if could fipd out any
thing about the lady. l received the fol.
lowing reply
REEDYsvILLE. Md, March II, 1852.
KIND SIR iOurletter Is at hand. As soon
az the postmaster read 1t he said it was for me.
am the lady who lived In the house with the
porch extending the whole length of the
house, and a spring house and smoke house
on top; anu we'll remember our meat was
taken, but do not remember who took it but
! with my family are all living. hope
you will pay, us visit will be happy indeed
to meet you and havo u talk with you. Will
make times as pleasant as we possibly can.
Yours with respect,
MISS MARY G. THOMAS.
Now, the taking of the hams was war
measure. 1t was case of necessity, but
what particularly desire to learn is the
whereabouts of George H. Blackwell. He
was engaged in the enterprise and got his
ham, and Mrs. Thomas must be paid in
hams. Will you aid me, Mr.. Editor, in
finding Mr.. Blackwell, and know he will
DO generous enough to send the good lady
a ham by express, prepaid. 1 intend
sending ham, but for the honor of the
old "Company A." We want the other
ham to 60 along.
w. HAYES GRIER.
For tho qualification of our inquiring
friend We add that Mr.. George H. Black
well is now a resident of Cleveland, Ohio,
which, by the way, is good place to
procure excellent hams. We hope Black
we'll will find it convenient to do his duty
in this matter. The fact is, we feel conf
dent that he will,
