A GOOD BECIXXIX<;. —Quite a stir has been u le this week among the petitioners for li censes for hotels and eating-houses in this county. As a beginning the Court announ ced that a strict compliance with the require ments of the law would be demanded. This threw out at once quite a number of petitions that had not been tiled within ".he specified 'ime, and public notice of which bad not been given a sufficient length of time prc •'nous to application. It was next announced that wherever the applicants were either : nown or shown to be men of bad moral haracter, or intemperate habits, license, would be refused: also, that wherever the ap p" ants were known or could be shown to he violated the license law, either by sell - i minors, selling on the Sabbath day. to ,: r nkards or to have kept disorderly houses r.'es would in all cases be refused: also, ' tat tie commission of any of the offenses • rated would be sufficient cause for re voking license at any time.

The number is a good one '^hroughout, FAMILY POISONED. —Two weeks ago our community was shocked with the report that a family of seven persons were poisoned by eating of food said to contain tartar emetic and arsenic. The natural presumption, from the facts that could be then elicited, was that the poison had been nsed in a mistake. All the members recovered except Mr. John Young, ar.d he, for a time was considered out of danger, and had the dose not been re peated would now be living and well. But horrible to relate, Mr. Young grew suddenly worse, and on Friday morning last, about oue o'clock, after suffering the most intense and excruciating pain, died. Thn matter of his death was freely discuss ed by all who heard of the sad calamity, and towards evening the community seemed to be excited in the highest degree, and as the phy sicians assured us, his death was caused by arsenic, the public cried aloud for an inves tigation. The family would not agree to this but were violently opposed to it, and at one time ; .i was feared the unfortunate man would be consigned to the tomb as though he had died a natural death. On Saturday morning the Coroner sum moned a jury, and, in company with Drs. Lant is, Smith, Roller and Hays, proceeded to the home of the deceased for the purpose of thoroughly investigating the facts in the case. The doctors made a post mortem ex am i lAtion. and took possession of the stom ach The facts elicited by the Coroner were in substance as follows : Mr. Young sent for arsenic for the purpose of killing rats ; three papers were bought, and the package placed in the drawer of a bureau in Mr. Young's room. The package was never touched until after the fir.-t poisoning, when it was burned. The cakes were supposed to have been poi soned by what was in a bottle of cream of tartar : the contents of this bottle were de stroyed in the presence of Dr. Smith. All the family recovered from the "'cake poison ing. Mr. Young took a relapse : his symp toms indicated a fresh dose of poison ; he began again to recover, and again took se verely ill for the third and last time. During his illness Mrs. Y'oung nursed him and pre pared his food herself, but she seemed to know of no poison having been administered. One of the daughters tetified that the arse nic was burned on Tuesday of last week, and that it burned up with a blue blaze, and had a sulphery smell : the other daughter stated that it was destroyed previous to Sunday and that it burned with a clear blaze and had no smell. Dr. Smith testified that from the symp toms of his illness, Mr. Y'oung had received several doses of poison, aud the poison was arsenic. The jury rendered a verdict that "John Young came to his death by poison, administered by a person or persons to the jury unknown. P. S. Information was made against Mrs. Y'oung and her oldest daughter Maria, on Monday, and on Tuesday morning they were arrested and committed to answer.—Holli dausbura Standard 10 th inst. I. O. or O.

Among the numerous publications relating to the late war, there is none that can claim a higher place in the public esteem than such as set forth "Woman's Work" in the event ful times. The publication before us fills this niche in the history of the Rebellion. It commemorates the labors and sufferings, and above all the noble characters of those true women who brought so much of care, and love, and charity into the terrible arena of strife. Without the kindly ministrations of female hands the toils, privations and afflic tions of our soldiers had been greatly enhan ced; and the memory of these noble heroines deserves a bright page in history. The book just published by Messrs. Zeigler, McCurdy A Co., is one of the handsomest we have seen for some time; it is finely printed, richly il lustrated with well-executed likenesses of many of its characters, and is elegantly bound. Everybody should have it. See ad vertisement "Agents Wanted." GENERAL. NEWS ITEMS. THAT. STEVENS is well again. WILKESBARRE was nearly destroyed by fire one day last week.

GREAT Loss OF LUMBER. —The boom in the Susquehanna, at Lock Hauen, was bro ken through on Thursday, aud it is estimated that about ten millions feet of lumber were lost thereby. Mr. J. S. Ct MMINGS, Tuscola, Illinois, says he has raised potatoes from a white sprsut, this winter, outside of any hot-house, in a space of thirty days. He says, furthermore, he can raise them any mouth in the year, and challenges better ones than he produces. THE Hancock expedition against the Indi ans is progressing. The troops will proceed to a point where Hancock has arranged a meeting with the chiets of the different hos tile tribes. If they evince a disposition to be submissive and peaceable, they will be allow ed to depart in peace. If .they are fractions, and are for war, they shall have it. THERE is assembled at Lexington, Ken tucky, a Conference of the Methodist Church (colored), composed of one hundred and for ty ministers, presided over by Bishop Quinn. Delegates are present from Ohio, Pennsyl vania, Kentucky. Indiana and several South ern States. THE town of Napoleon, Arkansas, is situa ted on a tongue of hind at the junction of the Mississippi and Arkansas rivers. Last year the river cut deeply into this point, and now a large portion of the town has disappeared. The water the other day was sixteen feet deep in the streets, and the chances are that anoth er season will sec steamers running over the site. A YOI'X'J Methodist clergyman has preach ed from tho steps of his church in Salisbury, IV. H., ail through tne winter, tne nouse Hav ing been closed against bim soon after he was sent there. No oue comes to hear him, but storm or shine, he takes his position with un covered head, and exhorts and prays, and no expostulation or entreaty can turn him from what he deems his duty. A Yot'SG Ohio soldier, uow living in Cleve land, was wounded and taken prisoner dur ing the war, and confined at Andersonville, but came out alive in the end. Meantime his -friends, believing he was dead, had a funeral sermon preached and a monument erected, while his comrades inscribed his name on the monument erected in Woodland Cemetery to the memory of the fallen heroes of the Twen ty third Regiment. AN evil-tempered old man. named Patter son, a miner at Minersville, ou die Chicago and Rock Island Railroad, attempted to kill his two sons, on last Friday. They escaped, and he then deliberately wrote big will, shot his dog, which he asked to have buried with him, and shot himself. THE "cussedness" of the fathers is devel oped in the children, at an early age, in Ten nessee. Last Saturday, two boys, each about j eleven years old —one a son of Judge Reeves, the other of Dewitt Mosc-by—quarreled in Somcrville, Fayette county, and young Mose by shot the other, inflicting a wound of which be has siuce died. THE building fund of Tale College now amounts to $1,500,000. It is designed at an early day to erect an entirely new set of brown stone dormitories, a memorial chnpel, the Peabody geological museum and a new di vinity ball. ADVICES from the West Coast of Africa states that war has broken out between two opposing tribes of savages, in which several of the new Calabar tribes were made prison ers by their enemies and roasted and eaten by them.

They assert that their L'nion sentiments provoked the outrage; and a detachment of soldiers have been sent to investigate the affair. A CORRESPONDENT of the Chicago Times, writing from Jonesboro, 111., says: "We have had a week ofvery fair, dry weather ; but it is now setting in to rain again. Winter wheat has not looked so well all through Egypt as it does now, for many years. Peach trees ate now out in full bloom, and the prospects for a large crop were never better. There is very little danger from frost so late in the season. All other fruits, are so far, unin jured." ACCOUNTS from the upper Missouri say that the high water of the Platte river has caused great damage to the Omaha branch of the Pacific railroad, and no trains are run ning at present. Forty miles of the track are under water, and the bridges over the North Platte and the South Fork arc so badly dam aged as to be unsafe for crossiug. IN the general tumble of European stocks, : bonds and securities of all kinds, it is inter- j esting to notiee that United States bonds are I quoted higher at the present time than they j have hitherto been. There is nothing re markable in this fact, for it is natural thut capitalists should desire to transfer their funds from endangered investments. It shows, however, that the public niind in j Europe is very distrustful of the future and that the United States is regarded as the safest depository for surplus cash. A GKXEROUS DONATION.— O.

LATEST South American advices state that Curupaity has been again bombarded by the Brazilians, who have also destroyed the forti fications and town of Santa Maria. A Bra zilian army was preparing to cross the upper Parana river and operate against Ascension. The Paraguayan General Diaz died of wounds received in the action of February 2. Quiet prevailed in the Argentine provinces, Gener nl Meterc had assumed the Presidency, and issued a hostile manifesto. THE United States Senate adjourned on Saturday. Messrs. Sumner, Henderson and Johnson offered resolutions proposing active mediation on the part of our government in the affair of Mexico. Senator Cole proposed a friendly interference on our part between France and Prussia in the Luxembourg diffi culty. All these intervention resolutions were tabled. PETROLEUM has been discovered in Italy, and four different associations hare been formed for working contemplated wells. The King of Italy is said to take a great interest in these petroleum discoveries, and the Ital ians, will no doubt soon rejoice in a shoal of bogus oil companies. AT the Waterford, New York, Arsenal, the Gatling gun, which is fired off by the turning of a crank, and is said to keep forty six hun dred balls in the air all the while, is now on exhibition. The gun is to be used against the Indians on the frontier. There were a good many of these contrivances jn General Mc- Clellan'sarmy, bat in no force. It was con tended, however, they had not a fair trial. COXSIHERAULE amounts of Mexican bonds have been negotiated in New York within the past year, at seven per cent., semi-annual in terest, which falling due within the last few days sent the bonds to protest, to the dissat isiactiou ofcthe holders. The negotiations were at rates ranging from ten to sixty cents. THE decline of cotton in the foreign mar ket, together with the dull trade at home, are having a depressing influence on dry goods. Prices of all but the leading staples are weak, and the market still points to lower figures, though the jobbing houses continue fairly ac tive. We see it stated that several leading houses in New York are retailing foreign goods at prices below the actual cost of trans portation. AFTER the Revolution had ended, in 1783, our country covered 820,680 square miles. In 1860, by various acquisitions, this had grown to 3,010,277 square miles, and now, by the Russian cession, it is 8,401,653 square miles. The Republic has extended to more than four times its size eighty-four years ago, a fact which should receive honorable men tion from our Fourth of J nty orators. THE citizens of Little Orange township, Vernon county, Missouri, on hearing of the murder of Gen. Joseph Bailey, the sheriff of the county went iu pursuit of the murderers. One of them, Tom Ingram, was caught, turn ed over to a vigilance committee, and the next morning his dead body was found swing ing from the limb of a tree. A LETTER from Jefferson county, Tennes see, tells the following story of the late fresh et iu that State: The Ilohtein river was eleven feet higher than ever khown beforet causing great destruction of property. Twen ty-six buildings, eleven of them residences, went down the river in one day. One lodged 011 Mcßee's Island. Mr. Mcßee visited it as soon as possible and found a child in bed up stairs. The child was though' to be about six months old, and was nearly starved. Nothing is known of its parents, who they are, or what became of them." THE following incident is related in a Paris letter: "An American who is now here, and who claims to be the mo.st adroit man in the world in the handling of the musket and bay onet, went the other day to seek an engage ment at the Paris Circuses, offering to fight in the arena (with wooden bayonets) against five of the best musket men in the French army, all at once, one against five. The di rector of the circus said, 'No, I can't do that; but if you will dress up as a French soldier and whip five soldiers dressed np as Ameri cans, I'll give you an engagement!' The Yankee retired in disgust, and at last accounts was still swearing." TUF. Republican Congressional Campaign Committee have agreed that one of their number should remain in Washington perma nently, and act as Chairman of the Executive Committee iu charge of the Southern Repub lican campaign. Representative Broomall is to act during the month of May, General Schenck in Juue, and Senator Chandler in July. Ax unsatisfactory feeling prevails in Eng liah trade circles, amounting to gencal dis trust. Dealers and capitalists are timid, hav ing had their resources in some instances se riously impaired; and this knowledge, says the London Xetcs, combined with the general slackness of business, and with the difficulty of effecting sales of goods, both at home and abroad, probably explains ip some measure the vague rumors now prevailing of mercan tile difficulties in the home, foreign aud colo nial trades. THE Jackson (Mississippi) Clarion assures us of the gratifying truth—though deeply re gretting it—that "the fact is 100 manifest to be denied, and too important to be disregard ed, that the Republican Party is rapidly ex tending its ramifications throughout the Southern States. In all of these States initial movements, more or less formidable, are on foot for forming a compact party to co-oper ate with that organization. It is a part of the matured scheme of the leaders of that party to maintain its ascendancy, aud they have seized the opportunity afforded by the intro duction of the new clause into the elective franchise. A LATE London letter speaking of the mise ries of Eugland, in connection with a rccen t .arge gathering of destitute people, says; •'The question at \\ estminster was how to dispose of a few millions of surplus revenue —that at the East End was how to get bread for 40,000 idle and famishing people. A procession of four or five thousand ragged wretches gathered from Poplar, Bethnell Green and Wapping, and preceded by a mel ancholy fife and drum, marched through the city and the Strand to the palaces of Pall Mall. They were very quiet, pale, ragged, a miserable company forced to be idle and compelled to beg. A contnouucn box was carried along each sidewalk. Hut voluntary contributions on such a scale were hopeless. After a few months people get tired of giving. London is too large. The great hive needs to swarm. The parishes are beggated to support their poor. What is wanted is to take these forty thousaud people up bodily, and transfer them to Canada or Austria —to South Africa—to any place where soil and sunshine will provide them food. They can not move themselves. Their clothes and tools are at the pawn brokers, their furniture sold to the last stitch." MARKETS.

Thousands die, as it were, inch by inch, of bodi ly weakress: for debility will kill as certainly, though not so quickly, as a raging fever. Is it ' asked how ".he weak shall be made strong; the debilitated sustaihed and restored: the exhausted refilled with vital energy.' We aver that of all invigorating preparations given by science to man, from the institution of the art of healing to the present hour, not one has wrought such wonders in the way of restoration as HOSTETTER'S CEL EBRATED STOMACH BITTERS. This is in deed the tonic of tonics. As a revitalizing, strength-supporting, life prolonging agent, the like of it is not to lie found in 'he catalogue of medicines. Among the various articles used to arouso the dormant powers of nature, it stands alone—the great awakener of the paralyzed phys ique. It not only awakens the physical powers from a state of collapse and inanition, but it im parts permanent vigor to the muscular and ner vous systems—reinforcing, as it were, both the stronghold and tb - ontworks of vitality. The aged, the decrepit, the nervous, the broken down of both sexes, are recojmu nded tu try it. They will assuredly find it a prrs-ut help in time of trouble. April 1:1 ui.
