TUESDAY, AUGUST 4, 1874. Daniel Boone's Rifle. Prof. Louis Legler, leader of the Citizens' Raud, has a rifle ia his possession which belonged to Daniel Boone, the famous Kentucky hunter. The rifle is one of the old fashioned kinl, the barrtfl beiug three feet in length.

The stock is of liht wood. Although exceed iugly primitive in style, it has several advantages over our more pretentious and modern guns. For instance, the btock on the side of the trigger was cut out, which mad the gun lighter and alto prevented accidents from readily occurring; the Bprings of the lock are all outside and tare an antique appearance there are two rings at the upper end ot the stock which made it easy to carry, and also at the same time have the gun in readiness for shot. The riSe belong to Hon. William Bank, of Jonestown, Lebenoa county, who obiaiiied it from a son i California, who got it from a direct descendant of Boone's.

Judge Bank has a large cabinet ol mineral? and Indian, Japanese, Chinese aid Viji Island curiosities. His residence is a place that scieutiflo men and people fond of looking at rara and interesting curiosities would do well to visit. The gun will be on exhibition for a few days at Kline, Hppihitner Go's No. 522 Pean Square. A Granger Pl Sle.

For some time base ball' fanciers have been eagerly looking forward to an oft promised contest between the Easton and Active clnbs. So when it was definitely announced that the game would take place, expectation ran high.

Yesterday, the appointed time, brought with it a favorable sky and a cool atmosphere. The train from Easton was filled to overflowing by the friends and admirers of the Eastonians, to the number of several hundred. The Easton club, it is proper to remark, are what is known as "professional players," having worsted many an amateur club in the long line of their professional career; so that, however meritorious their victory over the Actives, it was unquestionably dearly pnrenasen. ins score stood 11 to in favor of the Hastens at the end of the game. To the Actives there should be some grains of consolation in this defeat it was not a bid beat.

nd to them it is of more consequence and praise than all their recsnt victories, letting in the city and on the sroinds was heavv and exten sive. Cafrmera practiced their little impositions bv charging extra ftire, and the scenss and in eideats on the rstnrm horse of coaches, cabs, and what not, along the route, might have been amianiy construed as the procession to Vanity Fair. The tweaty 4ve hundred spectators present seemed to relish tie gome exceedingly, and for two hours sad forty minutes (time of game) the interest abated not a jot. loth clubs were upon the ground by half past one and at two o'clock the game was called, the Kaston clnb being sont to the bat only to bo "whitewashed." The Actives, encouraged by snch a good beginning, went to the bat with great confidence in themselves, but Bradley, pitcher of the Rastons was too much for them and they were also "whitewashed." In the second ianing the result ws the same with both clubs, bnt in the third inning the Hastons scored two runs with one man on second base. In this inning the Actives were again "whitewashed," as also were they in the third, fourth and fifth innings.

In the fourth inning the Eastons scored none, but in the fifth inning they made one run. In this inning Stott made a double plav which put out two of the men. The Eastous scoring nothing in the sixth inning, the Actives went to the bat'and made two runs. Here the excitement was intense, and it was some time before the cheering subsided, these being the Irst runs made by the Actives. In the seventh inning one run was scorcil by the Eastons, and two by the Actives.

The eighth inning decided the fate of the game. The Eastons by doing some heavy batting made five rnns. The Actives scored none iu this inning. The Bostons went to the bat for the last time, the ninth inning, aud by desperate playing scored to more. The Actives closed the game with two more runs.

The last inning the Actives did excellent batting, and but fora mishap of Mr. Fields' which attracted his attention to another paitof the field, there is no telling how many more runs would havo been made. Following is the score INNINGS. 13468711 Active, Eastou, Some time next week an exhibition game will be played by these two clubs at the Three Mile House, and tho return game of the Active Club will be played at Kaston in about two weeks time. Thero will also be a base ball tournament at Easton in September iu which the Actives have deoided to take part.

'The Sfew Broom." HOESK AND INCIDENTS AllOUT TUB NEW DEPOT YliHTEKDAY. According to announcement, all passenger trains on the Reading, Lebanon Valley, East Penn. and Reading and Columbia Railroads arrived ut and departed from the new depot yesterday, and as can well be imagined all was life and brittle there. But notwithstanding the jostling and crowding everything worked com paratively well tor the tirat hy. 1 here was no trouble for pessenera to find their trains, for Officers Boone, Giles and Gross were ubiquitous, and consequently there was no jarring or ooufusion.

General Superintendent Wootten nas calmly taking ia a survey of the situation, aud we learned from him that in a few days matters would be working as smoothly and satisfactorily ai could be desired. About the busiest people yesterday' were the einres men. Assistaut Superintendent Nortou superintended in person tne removal aud transfer of the express goods to and from the several trains. This wtw done by osing one of the small shifting engiaen and two long truck ears. But little detention was caused, aud after a day or two there will none at all.

Among the gremt crowd of people present there was bat one sentiment of admiration at the immensity and completeness of the new depot structure. The ladiee were extravagant in their praises of their saloon or waiting room, while the gentlemen were very compTioientsry in their terms of the accomodations aflbrdsd them. The new restaurant will not be in operation until the close ef the weeS, as it will take several davs to put np the curtains, lay down the carpet in the ladies' apartment, put in the chairs, tables, Ac. The new soda fountain, which is thing of beauty," was extensively patronized. The restaurant will be in charge of a young colored man named Jones, who was for several years in the employ of Jay Cooke at his palatial countrv mansion.

"Oirontz." He is an experienced caterer, and the Company, in whose interest it will be rnn, intend that it shall be a ftrst class restaurant in every particular. The main gallerv on the eastern front of the depot is used by the Philadelphia and Potts vifle trains, the northern gallery by the Lebanon Valley and It Penn. trains, and the southern gallery by the Reading and Columbia trains, and from 11) o'clock until lit, when the last train departed in the morning, there was a constant stream of passengers and others going to and fro in the galleries leading to the several trains. The workmen were busy covering the carriage drives leading to the depot from Sixth street with sand. They have heavy bottom of cinder, which when properly packed will make a smooth and easy road.

The workmen on the Sixth Street Passenger Railway were finishing the track in front of the depot, and the sodding on the wounds on the northern side was being Ticket Agents Wunder, Gries and Whitman looked "at home" in their new and handsome quarters, and were as busy ai bees. The irst local ticket from Reading to Harris burg was purchased in the new building on Sunday niiht by John B. lienninger, of No. 147 Korth IJujhth street, and the first through ticket for Youugstown, Ohio, by Bently Ily man, of No. 624 Laurel street.

The first train from the new depot was in charge of Conductor Harry Albright, aud was takeu to Harrisburg on Sunday uight. Onr Ileal Estate Market. complaint are daily made in the New York and Philadelphia papers concerning the dullness in real estate, our city can justly claim to bavs suffered little or nothing in this respect. It is true property did not change hands very extensively during the dark hours of last winter, but tbjire is net a single instance known where rea estate was sold at a sacrifice For ssveral months past this business has been steadily improving, nouses aud lots are offered, readv takers havo been found and the prices are fair. These transactions are the best evidence of a returning confidence, and thst the nancisl depression is no lonirer a bug bear by which the peoplscan intimidated.

Thisjrm aspect of the real estate marks is in the highest degree ericoursginft and induces the belief that our fondest hopes of an active, busy fall and winter may yet be realized. I.ynnport Items. Mr. Henry W. Weiss, sends a car load or two of hark to Reading everv other dav.

Of all the places in the world our cemeteries should exhibit in their arrangement and decoration the most delicate, refined and cultivated taste of the lot holders, for they are the chief attraction wherever located.

Mount Auburn, Greenwood and Laurel Hill are as well if not better known than the cities near which tbey lie, because of the grace, beauty and perfect fitness of all the surroundings. Our own Charles Evans Cemetery is sometimes be unattractive tnd probably suffer injury from a universal tree planting. It owes no small share of its surpassing beauty to its admirable alternation of woodland and glade. The opening and the thicket are made charming by mutual reflection and contrast. But, gs things are now going on, this charm will soon be gone.

Each lot owner on the open spaces thinks he mast line his small plot with trees. The exercise of care and discretion is essential. In some oases removal is necessary, because the branches of the trees stretch over alleys and paths, and even invade the roadway in other cases they obstract th9 visioa, which the general good requires to hi kept open. Trees of the pine famify are particularly objec tioaable, anless placed in spots where they have ampls room of their owa. Thsy are wholly anlt fbrnirrr(rSr(frjaad for small lot.

Shooting np with great luxuriance they sooa form a dense, dark msss of verdure, catting off the view of everything beyond and below them. Their lower branches stretehine far ont, almost in contact with the ground, soon run across paths and roads, leaving no remedy bat the axe. Of aearly all trees it may be said that thsy impede the growth of grass and towers, while in many eases tie hindrance is complete. However pleasant the shade, sun and sky are better. As a general thing burial lotB that look best are those which have least in them.

Onr experience shows that it wonld require but few years of nnchecked growth to convert the whole cemetery into a jungle, a place for darn and mould, a covert for toads and reptiles. We entreat all who are or may become lotholders in the Charles Ev.us, to be sparing and Judicious ia the setting out of trees or shrubbery. It would be well indeed if the smaller plots were never planted with anything more spreading or more rapid than the yew. There is nothing so neat and clean nothing is to pleasing at all seasons and to all eyes as close clipped sward. Or if the luxury of planting most 00 indulged in, let the trees be those of a dwarfish type and of attenuated foliage and let even these bo "few and far between." Let those who are so fond of shade seek it where it already exists beneath noble trees of naturc'sown sowing, and let it be the doty and care of the Cemetery Company to supply others wherever they are required to shelter and beautify the ground.

The ensiom of reerinj floworing shrubs nnd plants is not exposed to the objections just raised. It is on, indeed, which, with most persons, commends itself favorably to she sensibilities and the tasto. Oven allowing that, often it is piece of affectation, or of imitative display still, in many oases, it doubtlaes helps to soothe the frst anguish of bereavement. We would not forbid the pious care. Let nature bloom above the still precious dust, and shed upon it her fragrant offerings.

Bnt surely there should be a limitation here. We like to see the rose bending over the humble mound, or lovingly twining about the lettered sUme. A few flowers, appropriate in their hues and associations, scattered here nnd there in the grass, and glowing, as it were, spontaneously, are very becoming. Not so, these artificial beds these gravelled walks, these time parterres, filled too often with flauntiog exotics. LOCAL BREVITIL9.

The Lost Charley Ross. THE MANY CANARDS RESPECTING HIS WHEREABOUTS. THE TRUE STORY AS GATHERED FROM RELIABLE SOURCES. THE SUPPOSITION THAT nE PASSED THROUGH READING BELIEVED TO BE CORRECT. Ill the effort made by the authorities to seek some clue to the whereabouts of Charlie Ross, the newspapers have been anything but a source of assistance.

The New York Herald especially fillst column after colnmn of silly twaddle about the abductiou, gleaned from irresponsible persons, gossipy old women and men of the Allentown "Fancy Bill" stamp. Every one who had a story to tell, no matter how ill cou coived or exaggerated was interviewed and a full account given the next day embellished with such touches of sentiment and fancy as the fertile brain of the reporter suggested. The multitude eager for news gulped down every morsel and even the detectives, shrew as they are, were caught with some of its chaff. Anybody can surmise how and why this abduction originated, but it is qnestionable whether it will be believed. Newspaper men in this line of business are merely repeating the utterances of some one in whom they have confidence.

If men practised in unearthing crimes of every description are at fan i in a case like this, how can a greenhorn be expected to know anything. The latest newspaper canard is from the New York TVorld. Its sorrespondent professes to luve seen a Minaesota man with a child sesibliiig Chdrley Ross going home from Cincinnati on a Westward bonnd train. The man said he had taken the child from a relative who could not support it, and asked him to raise and educate it. Like the "Fancy Bill" story this too was no donbt exaggerated from the slight cirenmstance of seeing a mnu and a bsy traveling iu a train, a thing which happens every day.

V'o are of tho opinion that these stories an; calculated to do any good, and serve only to 0 a a sensation. Let us wait until we iie' the detectives. WAS lTCnARLEY ROSS THAT PASSED THRO UGH REAPING The Philadelphia correspondent of the New York Herald writes to that paper on Sunday as follows "The police now accept it as a fact that the child left this city on the evening of the day of his capture on a western bound train, and, after stopping in JTarrishurg a short time, proceeded to Pittsburg. Finding that no general excitement followed, the custodian of the child started east again after a few days. It is clearly established, I may say, that "the hoy left this city, either temporarily or permanently, under the charge sf only one man.

Carefully avoiding Philadelphia the naie mysterious man and child were seen at Harrisburg again on the 6th at Reading on the morning of tho 7th at Kast Penn Junction in the forenoon of the 8th, 9th or 10th, and at Allentown on tho afternoon of the same day as they appeared at East Penn. This data cannot be positively settled, although the hulk of testimony is in favor of the 10th of July, as I stated in my letter from Allentown yesterday. Bverywhere tho traces of ths boy are clearly defined. Tho stories, whether from Harrisburg, Reading, Allentown or Mauch Chunk, are nearly enough alike to show that the seme child was seen in these places, and yet not so parrot like as to give rise to a suspicion a stock narrative. In all cases the details differ smaewliat; hut the general descriptions of the child ami his keeper correspond." It was on Ae night of the 10th of July that the man spoken of in tho above extract passed throsgh Reading wiJi a boy suppose! to be Clurley Rosj.

A (ehfraiu was sent from East Penn Junction by Hr. William II. Goldman, of this city, one of the baggage masters ou the Reading Bailroad, to Chief Cullen, that a suspicious character with a child answering the description of ('barley Ross was on board the traia duo iu this city at 10:15 p.m. from Allentown. Mr.

Goldman's suspicions were aroused by thy man's singular conduct and what other persons told him. When at tho depot in Allentown, every minute or two he was inquiring for the train. The child showed no affection whatever for the man, and wheu he was permitted would run away from him, and endeavor to keep away. Seeing one of the conductors approach, and evidently taking him for a policeman, the man shielded the face of the child, so that the oonductor could not see it. Upon being ques tioned, the man said he had traveled about 2,000 miles with the child; that he lived in a far Western State, and when ho VIS leaving home the child the gate, began crying, anu a iked to be taken along that he pitied it, and for this reason he had brought it with him.

Mr. G. savs the child was about four years of age, and if not Charley Ross, closely resembled him. Unfortunately he could not leave his train that night to come to Reading, and was only able to send a short telegram. The man was traveling alone with the child.

Chief Cullen was out of town that eveninir, aud the telegram, was received by Lieut. Lotz, who in company vith Sergeant Kissinger and Officers Moore and Preibelbis went to the depot, and in tho little time allowed endeavored to make an invyetigation into the matter. The man told them that he was the father of the child, and that it was buf two years of age. They had aot time to make inquiries, and permitted the man to co oa. Since then the offi cers have become convinced that the child was none other than Charley Ross.

Fpon representation of what had occurred to Mayor EvanSj that gentleman expressed regret that the officers hail not tsken tho man into enstodv, and held him until information could have bean had from Philadelphia as to whether the child was or was not Charley Host. We think this is the best clue that has yet been had to the lost child, and it may not be too late yet for tne detectives to work it up. SchnjlUlll Items.

The question ef having two sets of delegates to represent the city in the coming conventions to De Held Oy Dotn parties tias already Iced to some discussion among politicians, it is said that the city and county being dividnl into separate legislative diHlricto, the city and county should each select its own representatives irrespective of tho other. Of the merits of the controversy I do not profess to speak, bclicvingthat it will well to first thnrotigly understand the origin of the proposition and tho principle, if any, involved. If it is a mero matter of form it is useless; if it indicates a departure from the true principles of government it is unwise, and if it is engineered Willi any ulterior object in view, it is an insnlt to the Intelligence of the votfr, for he would be regarded as unfit to know the reason for the movement. The mere furl that Philadelphia or any ether city chooses to cnudnct its nominations in a particular way is the best reason why we should hesitate to adopt their views. In the instances mentioned there is no principle at stake, it is only a question oi personal preference on the part of a clique, ft might as well belaid Hint because District Attorney has never been known to be nominated from the ootinrv.

a snecial set of dehL'aus from the city should be elected to a convention for this purpose. Does any one pretend to say that in matters pertaining to the welfare of either city or connty alt the representatives from Rerks will not have an equal voico and influence Then let the power that send them bo of the same general character. Lt there be no proscription on account of locality. Tho Democrats discussed this question at their meeting on Saturday evening, hut they adjourned without coining to any coiii'Iiim'. 11, A Von It, Resignation and Appointment.

Officer Jacob Gross, of the Police force, tendered his resignation yesterday morning to Mayor Evans, which was reluctantly accepted. Mr. Gross had been a member of the force for over three years, and was much esteemed by his superior officers and the public generally, especially the citizens of the Seventh Ward, for his gentlemanly and efficient conduct. He has been appointed a Special Policeman at the new depot, and entered npon his duties yesterday morning. Undecided.

It is not decided yet whether Rev. Leighton Coleman, formerly of Mauch hunk, now rector of an Episcopal Church in Toledo, Ohio, will accept the Presidency of the Lehigh University, which, according to the Rethlehem Times, has been offered to him. Tbe Abuse of Hpecial Legislation. For the Times and Dispatch. Messs.

Editors If any proof were wanted of the necessity for the provision of the new Constitution absolutely prohibiting the (ranting of any special Acts of incorporarlon by the State Legislature, wa now havs it in tbe Act to incorporate the Penn Ntreet Pawenijer Railway Company, approved day of April, A. D. 1S7S, and In the high oauded proceoduiKs of said Company uador said Aot. How such an Act was rer snaked through tho legislature without the knowledge of Councils or any ofourolitnens, I ot Snow. Certain it is, that had Its provisions been previously known lotae authorities whose duty it is to protect the rfhts ant intorcsttof oorcltlrons, this Act would have nervor become a law without tho strangest remorrstraneas on their part.

For purposes best knawu to themselves tnls Company have kept the peblle In ewitlre ignoiaace of the nature and sxteat thsdr franchisee until taeirroad was actually ur construction. No publloutlon of it waa made at the time of Its introduction into ths Legislature, January 1M It is not to be fauna whers it should be in the Pamphlet Laws of i7, and so far as 1 know no printed copy of It on now obtained. This in Itself la a hlhlv suspicious circumstance, tut havlne obtained access to a manuscript copy of the said Act lam no longer loft to conjectaro the reasons for this secrecy. I nd to my surprise that it makes this Company entirely Independent of aud superior to all control by the municipal authmltlosof the city, it gives this Company absolute and sovereign rlglit over the streets comprehended in their route, to construct, trsoks, turnouts, sidings asd switches wherever thevplease.and iu any manner thsy please, the City Charter and Ordinances passed pursuant thereto to the contrary not withstand Ing.In other words so far as their route goes this Company Is made supreme and sovereign. And what consideration does the city receive or have a rluhtto claim as a recompense for the valuabla franchises which have thus boen surreptitiously I rested from It by an Act of the Legislature bsolutely nono.

Tho Company oaunot be taxed for the repair of the strents on whloh its tracks are laid, or for any other purpose whatsoever. Not one dollar of lis prorlts, however great they may be, will ever go into the city treasury In compensation tor damatres it may do, or for the franchise! It enjoys. Let any olt ita examine the present condition of things at. front and Penn sweets, where he will see aot only the obstruction of a publle thoroughfare, hut an unwarranted encroachment upon prlvateproperty toi ho permanent damage of the proprietors, and thon say whether If tais specie" of special legislation Is to stand without redress, any of us are safe In tas wijoyment of ur rights and privilege as cttlceus or property holders. Thank Heaven, under the new Constitution no sunh dangerous end Iniquitous ch triers ran ever bs snaked through or bonf ht through the Legislature again.

If Councils are powerless to act for tho protection of the citlr.ens In their right, as 1 fear hey are, so far as this corporation Is concerned, I boos that some power or authority may bo found In our Courts to restrain the further encroachments of an arrogant and grasping monopoly.
