It is currently reported that when Pattison quits playing Governor, he will enter the ministry of the Meth odist Church. Carl Schcrz is down South, and it is said, assumes to e peak for the Renublican party. This is about eoual to the cheek of the Devil, j when be amed that he owned the j earth. A srwsPAFER published at Car bondale, Kansas, is named the An tonithcr and Paralyzer. We have a paper of that de-cription publish ed in this county, but it is known by another name. Sam Randall says there will be no extra session of Congress; at the same time he is using all the parlia mentary tactics of which he is mas ter, to prevent legislation during the present short session. The Sheriff of Franklin County has a daughter who acts as bis dep-1 uty, and the new Sheriff of Centre County has appointed his wife as his deputy. Both f these officials know how to keep the fees in the family. Only three weeks more of Presi-1 dent Arthur's Administration, and then the great Democratic political experiment begins. While trany of the best busiuess men ol the country feel uneasy about the future, let us hope for the best. The Democratic leaders who went to New York last week to see Cleve land, sind ascertain ail about it, are returning just as wise as when they went. All they have learned is that Grover has his ears wide opn j and his mouth padlocked. Statistics show that losses by fire in the United States and Can ida during the last month (January) amounted to fS.oOO.UOO. There were 223 fires included in this cal culation, ana it takes into account onlv those where the loss was re ported at 810,000. Those Democrats who imagine that the Republican party is going into a decline because it has suffered through divisions, will find that it will prove a very troublesome oppo nent to the incoming Administra tion. With re-formed ranks, it wiil be as strong as ever, and willing as ever to give battle to its natural foe. Wallace, Randall and Pattison are mentioned as the possible recip ients of a cabinet position. Randall has thrice been summoned to meet Cleveland in council, and his en vieus fellow Democrats at Washing ton say, that he has been assuming all the airs of a los8 since bis last interview with the coming Pres ident. There is only one kind of gen uine Democracy. Like the leopard, it cannot change its spots. A few fresh individuals in the ranks are masquerading as civil service re formers, but just wait until it has a tight grip on the throat of the Na tion and then the old game will be resumed where it was dropped, jurt "befo' the wah." Xn Chicago the Grand Jury has decided to indict 255 judges at the recent election, for carelessness and fraud in making their returns. In vestigation proves that an appropri ation of $100,000 for additional police force, which the return showed was carried by a majority of 14,000, was in reality beaten by sev eral hundred votes. Senators Cameron and Mitel ell are both reported to be on the sick list Mr. Mitchell has been confin ed to his chamber for some time past, and it is said Mr. Cameron's physician has ordered bim South for a brief period of rest, as be is threatened with a return of the mal ady which required bis long absence from labor last year. The Pittsburg Timet thinks the I State Treasury ought to be fenced in. If the Legislature appropriates $90,000 for the continuation of the Geological survey, and $700,000 for the Soldiers' Orphans Schools, 1100, J00 for State Normal Schools, and a few more sums of like proportion that are -asked for, there won't be money enough left in the Treasury to build the fence. There was an exciting struggle iu the House at Harrisburg last week, over the Governor s veto of a bill creating four additional police magistrates for the city of Philadel phia. The Governor came out on top, as the friends of the bill lacked twelve, of a two thirds vote to over come the veto.. The contest was net a political one, members of both parties voting to sustain or over throw the veto. " ' I r turns out that G'Donovan Ros sa was ufct fatally hurt, but only .Lightly wounded.

Now is the time for the exerci of that quality, which he is said to possess, in com mon with the mule, All the Democratic; ptatesmen who were retired by their constitu ents at the late elections, are now being nrged, or are urging them selves, for appointments under the new Administration. It is a queer line of reasoning by which the con clusion is reached that, because a man's neighbors, who know bim bt, didn't see fit to continue bim jn public life, therefore he must be appointed to another position under the Federal Government. As might have been expected, dynamite is coming to the front as an instrument of vengeance with discontented employes. An attempt was made last week to blow up an establishment in Sew York by dis charged workmen. To curb this disposition to take vengeance for imaginary wrongs with explosives, It will become necessary for each State to enact laws regulating the manufacture and sale of them, and iour Legislature should act prompt jv jn the matter That out-and-out free trader, W. R. Morrison "horizontal Bill'), has received the Democratic nom ination in Illinois for United States l Senator. The Republicans, without jjggent:n,j vojce i3ave nominated General Logan. The Legislature is a tie, and a Senator cannot be elect ed unless one of the candidates fails to receive the full party vote. In the event of there being no election, Governor Ogelsby (Rep.) wiil ap point, and of course General Logan will be his own successor. Olr Legislature should at least make an effort to stop dynaniite deviltrv, bv the enactment of strin gent laws that will summarily and severely punish the instigators and abettors of murder by this means. This country must not be made eith er a breeding-place, or a harbor of ref uge for.issMSsins. S If preservation,if nothing else, should induct? the en actment of the most rigid laws for the orevention and suppression ol" this means of avenging real or im aginary, private or public wrongs. If we permit these outrages, aimed at other people, to be hatched, and nurtured, nr-d then launched from this country, some day, and proba bly not a very distant one.retributive justice will overtake us, and tne engineer be hoist with his own pe tard. After General Logan's nomina tion for U. S. Senator by the Repub. lican caucus of the Il'inois Legisla ture, a committee was sent to notify him of the action of the caucus, and while they were absent, the caucus sang "Marching. Through Georgia," and were singing it when Logan, es- coned bv the committee, appeared at the door. The music was kept up until he reached the chairman's desk and was introduced. He spoke with much feeling, and ex pressed his profound gratitude for the honor done him by the caucus, and of lis indebtedness to the peo ple of Illinois for the honors receiv ed at their hands. He alluded to the fact of the Legislature being evenlv divided, but said if all the Republicans stood by him he would le elected or prevent the election of a Democrat. When he was in the army and was opposed by an equal number of men, the enemy never gut the better of him. He further said he would not have any office un less it came to him honestly and honorably, and he intended to so conduct the fight as to mett the approbation of all honorable men.

Intelligence has iust been received here that Khar- toom has oeen captured ny we Arabian Rebels. The whereabouts of General Gordon is unknown. He is probably a prisoner in the hands of the victors. The War Office has issued the following: "Telegrams from General U'fiUflfv announce that the fall of Khartoum took place on January 26. He says Colonel W lison am vea there on January 23, and was great lv surnrised to find that the enemy were in possession of that place. lie immediately started on ms re turn down the river and proceeded under a heavy fire from the rebels. When some miles below the Shu hlada. cataract Colonel Wilson's steamers were wrecked, but he and his wbole party managed to reach an island in safety where they are secure. A steamer has gone to bring them back to the British camp near Metemneh." j General Wolselev savs he has no ! information regarding the fate of Gordon and does not know whether he is dead or alive. The re is no loncer anv doubt but that the Mahdi holds possession of .t a - t t I . Cnmn me town vi rw.uari.uuuj. umu hones are entertained that General Gordon may still be holding out in the citadel ot tne town. A native renorts that the Mahdi had 60,000 men in the vicinity of Khartoum, and that be introduced a number ol ms emissaries in to the city. These emissaries mingled freely with the native troops under General Gordon, and by bribes, threats and working on their religious feelings induced them to nmtiny. Seven thousand of the garrison deserted to the rebels, leaving Ueneral uordon only .ouu faithful soldiers. With this small forr-e he attenuated to hold the city against the Mahdi's great army, but after severe fighting, in which a large number of the rebels were kill ed, he was compelled to surrender. When sir Charles Wilson reacnea Khartoum he found the Mahdi's forces occupied both the town and the citadel. He tried to land and ascertain the fate of General Gor don, but this step he found impos sible. The enemv's euns were turned upon him in full force. He was therefore complied to turn his back upon the fallen city and re turn to Gubat without finding out whether General Gordon was dead or alive. KHARTOUM CAPTCRED BY TREACHERY. The rumors concerning the fate of Lreneral trordon are many and various, but all acree that the Mah di captured Khartoum by treachery. The most reliable reports point to one Faraz Pasha as the traitor. It is said that he, being left iu charge of the ram parts, opened the gates on January 20 and admitted th enem v. Some rumors state that the Mahdi, together with a few levan- tines. is coorjed un in a church Others sav that General Gordon has been seen wearing the Mahdi's uni form. I be majority agree, now- ever, that ueneral Cordon has oeen killed. Blacksmith and Earl. Baltimore. Md., February 4. William Icliffe, the village black smith of Stockton.

The ' old . woman was 84 years old and lived in volunta ry exile a the same old dilapidated hut exactlv forty-eight years. - When she took up her solitary abode she was thirty-six years old. People remember her as a stout, healthy and comely woman. The story goes that in her youthful days she fell in love with a prepossessing young man, who followed the sea for a living. He left with the prom ise that in five years he would make ber his bride. He never returned, having been impressed in to the service of another country.

At the time of his arrest Cicero Jefferson confes sed that be had hanged his father, and implicated Symtheand Wilson. The latter also married one of the Jefferson girls a short time before the murder. Cicero stated that after the marriage Wilson accused his wife of immorality, when she admit-1 ted that it was true and blamed ber father. This enraged Wilson, and he said that he would either leave her or kill the old uaan. She beg ged bim to do neither. He then consulted Smythe, and the tragedy is the result of their consults tion. Many believed that Symthe was the real person who got the young women into trouble and cause them to charge it to their rather, The latter was taken out of his bed at night and hanged by bis relatives. The trial of the trio was set down for yeterdav, and when , the court convened a motion for a change of venue on the ground of prejudice was made and sustained. This ac tion enraged the people, and threats were made against J udge Loot boro. who forthwith left the town. Early this morning a mob assembled in front of the jail and overpowered the deputy sheriff who was in charge. Sledge hammers were procured and the cell doors broken in. Smythe and Wilson made a deserate resis tance with knives, and were shot to death in their cells, not, however, uutil they had wounded four of the mob. Cicero Jefferson offered no resistance, and was taken out and banged from a speaker's stand in the park. He did not beg for mercy ,but died gamely. His body was filled with shot after he was strung up. It is said that the lynchers are known, as some of them had their wounds dressed by local physicians shortly after the tragedy. The bodies of Smytbe and Wilson were turned over to the coroner. Wilson had his brains beaten out after he was shot to death. A Great Religious Revival. Hdstisgdon, Feb. 2. Saltillo, this county, and the community for a distance of four or five miles around, are swayed by the most intense religious fervor. A revival in the Methodist church, under the ministry of Rev. Charles Dunning, has been in progress for nearly a month and has been drawing into it the unconverted by the score. The meetings are nightly crowded so that there is scarcely room for the great mass of people to kneel at nraver or to rwe to their feet. The number of eeekfrs is undiminished. Members of other de o uinations are carried away with trie enthusi asm, and rresoytemns, Baptists and Dunkers join in the praise and shooting with a seal and vigor that have been regarded as characteristic of their Methodist brethren alone. Distinctions of sect and creed have ben lost in the general union of the churches in the work of Christian conversion. The revivals in other parts of the county are still going on.

W est Jersey Eress puts tb matter before the public in the f 'lowing language : "There is ecutev y a par ent in the city who will ct leartily second Justice Cassady'd effort te have the number of lessons reduced in our public schools, in order that our children may be relieved of the necessity; of home study. The way "book lam in" is imparted mt the firesent day is Sr the children to be oaded up with books to be carried home, there to be studied, and to compel their parents, brothers or sisters, to teach them bow to solve problems in arithmetic, construct sentences, and "to do and perforat" literally and in fact the work of the teacher. The wbole doty of the latter, under this splendid system, is to see . that the lessons have been properlv learned at home and whether those who compose the household have been diligent in the discharge of their duties, and have not by neglect com pelled the teacher to undergo the disagreeable task of perfecting the child in its lessons. In many homes in this city entire evenings are taken up in giving instruction to children, there being no time left, for work, reading or conversation, and it is time it was stopped, even at a cost of fifty per cent of. the lessons The school-house , is the place to iearn lessons, and the school teach er is the person to give the instruc tion. Home teachiog, not to char acterize it too strongly, has become a nuisance, and Justice Cassady de serves the thanks of the whole com munity for his. efforts to have it abolished . If this cannot be done let the order of thin us be reversed. let the children study at school and 1 recite at home, it does not require so' much time or attention to listen to a recitation as is necessary to ex plain the lesson and render a child perfect in its study."

Dayton, Feb. - C Two robbc broke down the door of a country residence last night and took the in mates, Philip Glass and sister, from their beds, bouod and gaggpd them and began ransacking the house, finding only $-50. They asked Glass for more, and he said he had none. They knew better, and demanded 81000 that he had received the morning before in Dayton for wheat. Threats to kill and torture him failed to extort the secret ot the bid ing place. While Glass was under torture, the robbers divided th& spoils before a huge fire that they had kindled in the grate.
