President Scott and Vice President Cassett last week were on a tour of in spection on their roads'in the middle and western part of this State. Spamsu troubles with this country are eooiing to a focus, and it is the opinion of 'some men that a war with tbat'countrv cannot be avoided .J" A war at this "time, to the country generally wnuldjCOtue as the proverbial peal of thunder in a clear sky, unheralded by sound or appearance, and would break over the people with startling effect The leveliug process is an apt phrase applied by certain people to the failures of grest booses, the losses of fortunes, the division of large estates, beqsests to public purposes, etc., that has now been going on in America so briskly for a series of years. A New York paper calls attention to tbe fact that gorgeous residences and expensive mansions are constantly thrown upon tbe market at very reduced-prices, sales baingjToiced by foreclosure of mortgages or financial difficulties, and that as general rale there is little disposition toj occupy tbcut.To whatever cause it may be attributed tbe levelling process is in deed permanent in America, and the cases are few and far between where priucely fortunes are kept intact be yond generation or two. Perhaps the most astonishing reverses are those of the new rich, as in tbe cases of Rals ton and others of that type. Yet we believe that after all there is steadily growing up in the country an increas ing class of prudent people of means and culture averse to great display. In this class is to be found the best aver age of intelligence, education and good stnse, and the great number of this class does indeed produce an aspeet of what is called levelling. The lamen tations over the growth of luxury as generating rottenness in the social fabric do not apply to these people, though many readers suppose they do. Tbe main characteristic of modern civ ilization is the remarkable diffusion of comfortable homes among largo masses of the people. The cases of sudden rises aud fall are exceptional and do not spply generally. A ortk American. A London despatch of last Thursday says : The number of cases of cattle disease for the quaiter ending the ICth of October was as follows : la Soiuer setsbire, 83,000 ; in Cheshire, 50,000 ; in Dorsetshire, 48,000; in Gloucester shire, 44,000 ; in Oxfordshire, 39 000 ; in Warwickshire, 33,000; in Norfolk, 31,000; in Cumberland, 23,000. Throughout Euglaud and Wales there were, for tbe same time, over 500,000 cases. The money damage is estimated at a million dollars. The Mood j aud Satikey meetings are progressing amazingly in Brooklyn. The other day while Meojly was preach ing a sermon on tbe Confession of Sin," great excitement prevailed.

National ThankBgiTing, November 26 Appointed by the Preri dtnt. tt'Anm.ioTO.i, October 27. By the President of the United States of America. A PROCLAMATION : In accordance with practice at once wise and beautiful we have been accus tomed, a tbe year is drawing to a close, to devote an occasion to the bumble ex pression of our tbanka to Almighty God for the ceaseless and distinguished benefits bestowed upon us as nation and for His mercies and protection during the closing year. Amid the rich and free enjoyment of all our ad vantages we should not forget tbe source from whence they are derived aud the extent of onr obligations to the Father of All Mercies. We have full reason to renew our thauks to Almighty God for favors bestowed npon ns daring the pst year. By His continuing mercy civil and religions liberty have been maintained, peace Las reigned within onr borders, labor and enterprise have produced their merited rewards, and to His watchful providence we are indebt ed for security from pestilence and other national calamity. Apart from national blessing! each individual ! among ns has occasion to thoughtfully recall and devoutly recognize the favors and protection which be has enjoyed. Nw therefore I, Ulysses S. Grant, President of the United States, do- re commend that on Thursday, the 25ib day of November, tbe people of the United States, abstaining from all sec ular pursuits and from their accustom ed avocations, do assemble in their respective places of worship, and in such form as may seem most appropri ate in their own hearts offer to Almighty God their acknowledgments and thanks for all His mercies and their bumble prayers for a continuence of His divine i favor. In witness whereof I bave hereunto set my band and caused the seal of tbe United States to be affixed. Dene at the city of Washington this 27th day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seventy-five, and of tbe Independence of the Uuitcd States the one hundredth. U. S.

Moody and San key's meetings in crease in interest in Brooklyn. Altoona has suffered by fire within the past week to the amonut of$3,000. It was started in a livery stable. A few days ago, says the Boston Journal, two Boston gentlemen, while bunting in the marshes, bad the mis fortune to drive their care into a bog, into which she sank to her middle. The two gentlemen jumped out, one on each side, and attempted to lift tbe animal. "Now she rises," shouted one. "Yes ; another lift and she is all right," re sponded tbe other. In less than sixty seconds, instead of raisiDg tbe mare, the two sportsmen were buried to their armpits, and the rising of the animal had been a bit of deception caused by tbeir sinking. 41 We crawled out," says one of tbe gentlemen, 'and as we sought dry land I came to the conclu sion that onr effort to raise that mare was based upon the Wendell Phillips theory of financial salvation." An exchange says : We bave already alluded to the escape from tbe Beaver eounty jail of a man named Smith, charged with felonious assault, and who had exchanged clothes with bis brother Albert and walked out past the jailor. As be passed through the corridor, bis brother said to him : "Good bye, Al bert ; come back in tbe morning and see me," thinking, no doubt, he was perpetrating a huge joke on the jailor. WeU, the brother got away, but Albert was detained, and last week was tried and sentenced, and sent to the Peniten tiary for one year for Lis too much dis play of brotherly love. Assisting pris oners to escape is no joke. A Westmoreland man, aged about 74 years, bought and married a girl of 23 the other day for $3,500. That young gentleman, whose name we will not mention now, must bave felt "all over in spots" when that young lady slapped him in tbe face, because he attempted to kiss her on the eats between this place and Smith's Ferry, a few days ago. Beaver Times The girls at Vassar College are said to have private theatricals at which, says the tattler, "with tbe aid of false moustaches, whiskers, burued cork, wigs, etc., we are enabled to get up very respectable men." It takes more than that to make respectable men. Isaac McAfee, colored, on trial at Se'aia, Ala., for causing a terrible rail road accident on tbe Sclma, Rome and Dalton Railroad, about a year ago, by placing obstructions on tbe track, was convicted and sentenced to twenty years imprisonment. Two white men are to be tried for the same offense. Tbe trial of Arthnr Davis and wife, in Toronto, for tbe murder of Miss Gilmour, by mal-practiee, was brought to close on Saturday a week by a ver dict of guilty against both. They were sentenced to be hanged on the 8th of December. It is said that ML Holyoke Seminary haa furnished 115 wives for foreign missionaries. A strapping American girl, six feet in height, kissed the Pope's toe, and tbe Holy Father said benevolently, measuring off ber magnificent propor tions with his eye: "Daughter, I shall have to give yon a blessing and a half." ' ' An attempt was mads to rob the store of King & Korts, at Beaver City, a few oights ago. Tbe villain was try ing to effect an entrance at tbe large front window, when tbeir big New foundland dog quietly walked ap to Ike window inside, and, making a leap through tbe glass, caught the fellow by the leg and then let Lim go. The rob ber was seen limping sway, and tbe dog returned tr tbe store through tbe bio ken window. . Some of tbe farmers of Bucks coun ty Lave been badly swindled in tbe pur chase of guano. It came in the origi nal packages, and was bought from the agents of tbe Peruvian Government in New York Tbe larger part of it proved to be a coarse sand aud gravel. It appears that the source of supply has run out and adulteration is being resorted to. A few days ago an eagle carried off a lamb from the premises of a farmer in North Coventry, Chester county. The ntxt day it returned and was shot io tbe act of swooping down upon an other Iamb. It measured seven feet two inches from tip to tip of its wings. Davis, the Toronto abortionist, who, w.th bis wife, is to be banged in De- cember, threatens unless his seLtence is commuted to publish a full list of his patrons and all particulars as to bis diabolical business. Tbey tell of a widow, of Leesport, Pa., who got tbe best of a sewiug ma chine ageut. Her husband, some time previous to bis death, had purchased a machine, promising to pay for it in monthly installments. He bad paid nearly tbe entire sum when be died, and the widow was unable to make np the balance. The agent called for the ma chine, and tbe widow demanded a por tion of tbe money that had been paid. This was refused in a surly way. Then the widow locked the doors of the house, putting the key in Ler pocket, and told the agent he could have the machine when be returned the money, and not before. " She took bold of him," says the account, " and a severe tussle ensued, while tbe children sereamed and cried. The widow threw the agent over the hot kit-hen stove, and finally succeeded in sitting him down on the top of it, and Leld him while be begged piteously for mercy, "For God's sake, let me go, and I'll pay yon back every cent your bnsband paid me.' Being satisfied that he was severely scorched, she pulled him off the stove, but held on to him until be bad paid back every cent of the install ments, and then she gave him two min utes' time to take the machine and clear out with it." The tramps, it is said, bave a way of conveying intelligence to each other by narking gate-posts. A gontleman iu New Haven, Conn., annoyed by the fre quent calls of these vagabonds, ob served that tbey inspected the gate post before entering, and, upon exami naticn, fonnd there a mark, which be rubbed out. He has not since been troubled. A colored man was banged on the 22d alt, at St. Louis for murder. Tbe execution is narrated as follows : Hen ry Brown, a negro, who killed Philip Pfarr, a German living a few miles from the city, then outraged and rob bed bis wite, on the night of the 25th of last May, was hanged in tbe yard of the jail at tbe Four Courts at 1.30 o'clock to-day. In a brief speech made on the scaffold be admitted having struck Pfarr tbe blow which caused Lis death, but denied ontraging Mrs. Pfarr. Nearly ,000 persons were present in the jail yard, and the windows and roofs of all tbe houses in the vicinity, and even the roof of tbe jail itself, as well as the streets in the neighborhood, were thronged with people. The crowd must bave numbered nearly 5,009. At exactly balf-past one o'clock the trap sptung, and tbe wretched culprit bung dangling in the air. 7 He fell five feet, and never moved a muscle. At the end of eight minutes life was declared extinct, aud the body was cat down and placed iu a eoffio for burial. . Wm. Murphy, an Irish laborer of Louisville, was fonnd dead in tbe month of a sewer on Monday a week. He was seen lying near the sewer tho pre vious night, but was not molested, tbe observers preferring to let tbe effects of liquor wear off. During tbe night he rolled over and was suffocated in tbe mud. There is not a drunkard among tbe 1500 people who live on Rock Island, and the nearest approach to a bar-room is a place where pop beer is sold by a Freewill Baptist. Ann Swain, of San Francisco, has sued au omnibus company foi $299 damages, for being left on the sidewalk " for one hour or thereabouts," the diiver having failed to answer her hail, "thereby suffering great bodily and mental pain and agony, and being greatly damaged and injured." Tbe body of a joung and beautiful woman, aged about twenty-five years, was found ic tbe river at Leavenworth, Kansas, on Wednesday of last week. The corpse was richly dressed. In the pocket of the dress were found $175, a card case containing cards bearing the name of M. M. Ulackwell, a check for baggage to Leavenworth, and a pass from Chicago to Kansas City.

Sheep are now selling in Freshno county, Cal., at 75 cents each. A remarkable esespe from being buried alive happened in tbe town of Bradford, Massy a few days since. Tbe facts of t&e Car,- according to a eor respondent, are as follows : A lady in the above toWu had been sick for some time, and to all appearances bad died, and arrangements were accordingly made for the funeral to take place on the third day after her supposed de cease. The preparations for burial bad progressed so far. that on the day of the fuoeral the lady was placed in a coffin, when it was observed tbat one of her eyes was partially opened.' Nothing, however, was thought of it, as it was supposed to be tbe resnlt of muscular contraction, and the arrangements for burial were all completed, when the supposed corpse astonished ber atten dants by asking to be placed on ber side. Tbe bouse of mourning was aud denly turned into one of jiy, snd at last accounts tbe lady waa doing finely, with every prospect of a complete re covery. Epizootic, in mild type, is reported from all parts of the country. Coffee can be cultivated in Louisiana, Alabama and Florida. A man who a few years ago was worth $80,000 is working out a fine on the streets of Richmond, Iod. There are now in tbe Tombs prison, New York city, five murderers, all of whom will suffer the extreme penalty of the law within tbe next tbiee weeks. Standermon and Dolao will be hung on December 10, and Weston, Ellis and Thompson on tbe 7th. A despatch from Pottsville, last Fri day, says : Tbe coroner's jury in the case of the boy Frederick Brown, wbo died of injuries received by tbe colli sion on tbe Philadelphia and Reading railroad, at Tuscaroa, on Tuesday night, after an examination of a number of railroad employee aod'passengers, re tained a verdict tbat be came to his death from injuries received by the col lision on the Schuylkill Valley railroad, at or near Tuscarora , they fiud that the conductor and engineer of Engine No- 89 are guilty of gross and culpa ble carelessness in starting for Middle port at the time whenjtbe regular pas senger triin was nearly due ; they are of the opinion that the Philadelphia & Reading railroad company are censura ble for not placing a more experienced telegraph operator at Middleport sta tion, wbo could advise the conductor and engineer not to start until passen ger trains bad passed, and tbe accident. would have been averted. The other wounded continue improving, except Ditnmeliag, who has shown no change since he was taken out of the wreck. A despatch from London cn Satur day announces that an iron establish ment at Leeds is about to suspend bnsi oca, which will put between 9,000 and 10,000 workmen out of employment. There was a'half million fixe in Phil adelphia last Sunday, by which some nine hundred binds are thrown out of employment. Tbe fire originated in the dry house of Bruner's Woolen Mills on 24th street. A remarkable case of child-stealing lately occurred at Carlioville, 111. A message came for Dr. Uarrrison to at tend a case in tbe countiy. Arriving at tbe place designated, he fonnd that he had been hoaxed ; and upon return ing borne, learned that bis little girl, aged 13 months, bad been carried off by two wumen. Miss Buckman, tbe Illinois giantess, who died the other day, weighed 412 pounds. About eighteen miles from Fort Gib son, Miss., and one mile from Brandy wine Springs, on the place of Mr. O' (Juin, the existence of a great number of cut stone has been known for an in definite time, and the people in tbe neighborhood bave uced them for props for their houses. Mr. J as. Gage, Jr., went out there a few days sgo to ex plore and had a specimen stone brought into town. It is about three feet long by about twenty inches square, resem bling in shape a bar of soap. It is probably a native sandstone. Mr. Gage took this block himself from be neath tho roots of a large piue tree. It formed a portion of a wall about twenty feet broad on the top, which Mr. Gage traced for a distance of 2G0 yards. Tbe inference that one would naturally draw from this superficial view is tbat this must have been a city wall, but deep exploration might show it to be a portion of a fort, temple or other build ing. Any way, its antiquity is proba bly immense, antedating tbe history of the red men. Port Gibson (Miss.) Standard. From tbe Scran ton Republican we learn that shortly after five o'clock on Saturday evening Hydo Park Hill was the scene of a most distressing acci dent, by which Mrs. Mary Mnlberin, a married woman twenty-one years of age, lost ber life. Mrs. Mulherio, whose home is located beside tbe street railroad, went to a well situated on the opposite side of the track, about twen ty paces from ber door, and while in the act of lowering a pail for some water, the earth beneath her feet gave way, and she was instantly swallowed up in the well and buried beneath a heap of earth and culm. A faint out cry and then ber voice was bushed for ever, and she sank from sight. Her shocking situation soon alarmed the neighborhood, and an excited multitude came rushing to the scene, but it was several minutes before they eould ren der tbe poor woman any assistance, and then it was too late. The yield ing nature of the earth around the fatal spot, aad the fact that the well was some fifty feet deep, mado it a more difficult and dangerous task to extri cate the unfortunate woman. Her friends were almost frantic, and in tbeir efforts to release ber encountered a se rious risk. Tbe upper portion f tbe well was torn away alad thrown down an embankment, and then tbe work of digging and shoveling away tM clay aud culm was commenced, amid Breath less suspense, and earried on vigorous ly. At eight feet deep tbe searchers encountered a portion of tbe clothing, and animated by tbe hope of still saving her tbey redoubled their ener gies. She did not sink into the shaft, tut was jammed against tbe side and firmly held in that position by tbe fall ing mass. Ropes and board were pro cured, aud as soon as practicable ad justed to the prostrate woman, wbo was taken to the surface. At first it was hoped she would recover, but tbe hope proved a futile one. Her hand was firmly clinched on tbe handlo of the bucket, wbioh she held when tbe acci dent occurred, and, brief as the time was, she was a rigid corpse. Mrs. Mul herin leaves a child a few months old. Although tbo fatal well was sunk through a high bank of culm and eartb, the surroundings seemed perfectly Shfe, and were consequently most deceptive. The aeighbors along tbat street for a considerable distance were furnished with water from it, and frequently had recourse to it during tbe day, even up to a few minutes before tbe tragte oc currence. Delicate as the organization of the brain must be, it is surprising to read of the bard knocks it can bear, not only without injury, but even to its advantage. One man who lost half his brain through suppuration of tbe skull, preserved Lis intellectual faculties to tbe day of Lis death ; and tbe brains of soldiers hare been known to carry bul lets without apparent inconvenience, and to undergo operation for the ex traction of the foreign bodies without loss of power. A physician who was afflicted witbj an abnormal cerebral growth which pressed upon J he cavities of tbe brain, so ss to paralyze one side of bis body and render him speechless, retained possession of his reasoning and calculating powers until be died. One of three brothers, al! idiots, after re ceiving a severe injury on tbe bead, gained sense, and lived to be a clever barrister. A stable boy of doll capa city, and subject to fits, bad his wits sharpened by tbe kick of a horse, which necessitated tbe abstraction of a por tion of bis brain ; and no less a per sonage than Pope Clement VI owed tbe improvement of bis memory to a slight concussion of the brain. On tbe other hand it is a fact that the brains of persons with thoroughly disordered minds, as a rule present no abnormal appearance after death, which is not to be wondered at, Dr. Wynter declares, when it is fonnd that symptoms of a disordered brain are often produced by a very slight alteration in tbe constitu tion of the blood. Chambers' Journal. Samuel Malick, of Selinsgrove," was drowned in the riverat that place, last Wednesday. Tbe circumstances of tbe case, as we received tbem' are as fol lows : He and two other men were taking a truck across the railroad bridge to meet tbe C o'clock train, and when about midway of tbe bridge bis cloth ing became entangled io machinery by which tbe truck is propelled, which threw Liui into tbe river at which place the water is deep and the current rapid. His comrades knew nothing of the accident until tbey beard the splashing in the water. Search was at once made, and the body of the drown ed man was found with an arm and leg broken, about 100 yards below the bridge. Frttburg Courier. The Blair county Register says : On Monday morning last, about 8 o'clock, a heavy rumbling report was beard at tbe Paper Mill of Messrs. Morrison, Bare & Co., at Roaring Spring, this county, and upon looking in that direc tion, heavy irons, timbcts, and differ ent kinds of machinery, was seen flying in every direction, and the paper mill waa a vast heap of ruins. The Straw Digester, a sort of engine, had bursted. It was 18 feet in length, 6 feet in diam eter, 4 inch iron ; weight 7 tons. It went high up in the air, several Lun dred yards, till it appeared not larger than a common tin bucket, and alighted in a field upon tbe hill, some two hun dred yards away, the smaller end strik ing tbe earth and sinking 5 feet into the sclid ground, the other part break ing off and alighting some 25 feet be low. Tbe smoke stack was blown be yond the church, atout half a mile. Heavy irons and timbers shot like ar rows from one end of tbe building to the older, and other heavy articles flew in all directions, and it is providential that no lives were lost, altLougb several persons were badly iujured. Tbe Straw Digester usually carried 80 pounds of steam, and was calculated to carry 200 pounds with safety, though this morn ing it only bad 75 pounds, and it is not known, or at least not made public, what was the cause of the explosion. The injured are John Henry, badly scalded and bruised ; Amos McKee, badly scalded; William Bowers, badly scalded, bruised and cut ; John Hain sy, badly scalded ; Baxter Hamilton, badly scalded ; and David Butler, Wm. M. Hancock, and John Price, slightly injured by bruises and cats. Although the firs six named are seriously injur ed, yet tbe physician thinks they may all recover. Tbe mill is a perfect wreck. In fact, we bave never before seen such a complete pile of tuins. The machinery, timbers, Ac, are scat tered around in all directions, for sev eral hundred yards, and nearly all tbe machinery is destroyed or badly in jured. About $3,000 of prepared stock waa a total loss and tbe loss to building," machinery and stocSf, will not fall short of $30,000. Tbe narriaburg Patriot of tbe 2Cth ult. says : Considerable excitement was created" last evening, a little after seven o'clock, 0 North Third street, between firiggs and Foster. A young fady. feeling aggrieved at remark's made about ber by a married ruin, pare Sed a cowhide, aud sending a messenger into tbe store to inform bim tbat be was wanted, applied the cowhide to his face and back when he stepped into the street. He made an effort to grasp her by the throa, but was prevented Irom doing tbo woman any barm by the interference of a male relative of the aggrieved lady. Tbe quarrel arose, we understand, from some unhappy neigh bor ood quarrels. A suit for assault and battery and a counter suit for slan der will probably end the n atter. Sew Advertisement.
