Cameron, March 29, 1860, from Clinton, Elk, McKean and Potter. 67. Lackawana, 1878. from Luzerne. It will be noticed that all of the first eleven counties but Philadelphia were named for the counties and shires of England, also the eighteenth and twenty-third. The first individual names given were those of Washing ton, LaFayette, Franklin and Mont gomery ; followed, not many years later, by those of Presidents, Adams and Jefferson ; Governors, Mifflin and McKean; Generals, Greene, Wayne, Armstrong, Butler, Crawford, Mercer, Warren and Potter. Later still Brad ford, Columbus, Pike, Perry, Monroe, Clinton, Blair, Sullivan, Lawrence, Fulton, Snyder and Cameron, were thus honored ; 28 out of 67 named for men. There are 13 or 14 called for creeks and rivers; the Ohio and Mon ongahela being the only large streams slighted. One is named for a lake, and one (Montour) for a mountain, whose - god-father was an old Indian ; one for coal, (Carbon); and one for wood, (Forest); Philadelphia is Greek; Cam . bria, Welsh ; Luzerne, Swiss; Dauphin, r French; and Lebanon, Hebrew. That there are no Irish appellations is a-i outrage upon the Democratic party. I would meekly suggest that the next . new county be called Dou-n, to indicate the present and future condition of that party, as well as to honor the great country from which it derives the bulk of its voters in these Northern States. In comparing the census returns of 1860 and 18T0, I find that every county in Pennsylvania shows a respectable increase in population, making allow ance for cutting off Cameron from Mc- Kean and Potter, while of the sixty in New York, twenty have sustained an absolute loss, and seventeen have been almost stationary. Pennsylvania in creased per cent; New York, 12£; Northumberland grew and was only surpassed by Yenango, 914; Lu zerne, 78 ; Allegheny, and Elk, 43.V. You will see that Northumberland is the sole parent of Luzerne, Lycom ing, Columbia and Union, and part mother of Mifllin, Centre and Clear field ; grandmother of Armstrong, Ye nango, Warren, Indiana, Jeil'erson, McKean, Potter, Tioga, Bradford, Sus quehana, Clinton, Wyoming, Sullivan. Montour, Snyder and Lackawana ; and great-yrandmother of Clarion, Elk, Forest and Cameron. Until September 25, 1786, she stretched almost the entire length of our "York State" border. On that day being only 14? years old, she brought forth her oldest daughter, Luzerne, which naturally reduced her. I had not inteuded so much genealogy when I started. BEST WALKING HE COED. Brother Bell, of the Colored Bethel congregation, Washington, D. C., a few nights ago, at a prayer meeting, took occasion, in the course of an ex hortation upon the duties of life, to fire a passing shot at the walking mania, now so prevalent, and devel oped some facts in relation to pedes trian feats that seem hitherto to have escaped notice. He said : "My beloved bredren and sisters, dar is one ting I'm bound to say to you befo' I closes de exercises dis nite, and dat is, don't you take no stock in dis here walkin' bisniss. Let dem white tramps, men and wimmin, alone ; don't you spen' your money or your preshus time runnin' aroun' arter dem ; an' for de Lord's sake, an' your own, don't you try to make fools ob yo'selfs by tryin' to do likewise. You men will find plenty ob exercise in attendin' to yer work, and you wimmin enuff to do ober yer washtubs and nussiu' yer babies, instead ob trampin' roun' and roun' de sawdust, day on and day off, jiss to please a passel ob fools, an' ruin yer own helf. Beside, my beloved frens, all de braggin' dat dey duz 'bout dere 'long walks,' 'long times,' and what dey calls 'fizzikle ondoorinse,' ain't wuth shucks when you comes to conipar' dem wid one pufformance dat tuk place thousands ob years ago ; an' de reason dey don't mention it is be kase none ob dese sportin' folks eber reads dere Bibles. Well, I'll tell you wat it wuz, and it's de greatest 'sport in' match,' as dey calls it, dat eber cum off on de face ob dis yearf. None ob yer 'hippy-drum' bizniss heah ! No, sah ! Fair heel an' toe tcalkin ' —-judges appinted, track measured, time kep' ('cordin' to de Skripturs) and a ree kocd made—yes, an' a rve-kord dat can't be denied, cause here it is —yes, here it is, in dis preshus Book ! Now, jiss turn ober yer Bibles, my frcus, an' look at fift chapter ob Jinsiss, twenty second vuss, an' wot do you fine ? Why you fine dat 'Enoch—walked— wid—God!—(after he begatted Mee foosaly)—three hundred years /'—yes, three—hundred—years! Dar wuz a walk fur ye! Jiss shet yo' eyes, an' 'fleet on't! Three—hundred—y:ars!! Beside, de ree-kord says dat wen de ole man made dat match, an' had dat chile (who kep' on livin' until he wuz nine hundred an' sixty-nine year ole— monsus good stuff in dat family !) —I say when de ole man made dat match, an' had dat chile, he wtiz sixty-five years ob age, an' den walked three— hundred—years! Talk 'bout your 'pluck' an' yo' 'grit'after dat! Why de ole man has done laid out all ob dese nowadays blowers as flat as a dead shad ! So much for dis 'strordi nary pufformance.' But dat ain't all ob it. Dere's mo' yet. If you'll jiss look at de twenty-fourth vuss ob de same chapter you will fine, my b'loved j frens, what a orful warnin' is in d.tt ! vuss to po' foolish creeturs who has de conceit to make sich onekal matches. Did any good cum ob ole man Enoch's walk ? Did he male anvtinjr outen it? No! my bredern an' sisters. No! No ! lie loss by it—loss ebryting by it—neber 'pcared in de ring agin—in fack, he 'went up Jiss read de vuss: ' A n'— En och—iralled— w ith—God— an'—he—wuz—nof (dat is he warn't novvhar), 'for God tuck him.' God tuck him ! To be shuah he tuck him ! He wuz bound to be tuck.

' YOUTHFUL AERONAUTS. When Mr. Jobn Wise was lost in his balloon called "Pathfinder," sev eral weeks ago, the newspapers printed many accounts of trips made into the air. some by brave men and some by foolish ones. A lady who lives in the town of Centralia, in the State of Illi nois, said nothing until all the rest were througff talking. Then, one day l ist week, she told the editor of the St. Louis Republican to look into the number of the Republican that was printed on the 21st day of September, 185 S. The editor looked and found an account of how two little children took a trip in a balloon all by themselves. On that day an leronaut, named Brooke, filled his ship with gas on the farm of Mr. Harvey, who lived near Centralia. He expected to sail in the afternoon. About noontime Mr. Har vey put his two children into the bas ket of the balloon just to please them, and not thinking for a moment of any danger. The balloon was tied to a tree by ropes. All at once a gust of wind broke the ropes and the balloon shot up into the sky with nobody but the two children in the basket. Mr. Harvey was wild with grief and shouted aloud : "They're lost, they're lost!" All the neighbors ran to the spot only to see the balloon drifting off north and more than a mile high. One of the children was a girl, Nettie, eight years ;;ld, and the other was her little brother, Willie, four years old. Both cried when they found them selves leaving the ground and going on a very, very strange journey in deed. Nettie looked over the edge of the basket and saw her father wring ing his hands away below. Soon the people looked to her like babies and the houses like toy houses. She and Willie were going up, up, up all the time. "I expect we are going to hea ven, Willie," said Nettie. Willie thought it was very cold in heaven then, for the higher they went the colder it grew. Nettie wrapped Wil lie in her apron and held his head fast in her lap until he cried himself fast asleep. Then Nettie folded her hands and waited. "I think we must be near the gate now." She meant the gate of heaven that she had heard about in Sunday school. But Nettie fell asleep, too. When she awoke she found that some strange man was lift ing her from the basket. The strange man was a farmer in Northern Illi nois, who had seen a balloon drifting low down across his field. The rope was dragging and so he caught it and landed the children safely. The bal loon had floated all night. Nettie and Willie's father soon learned that they had been found, and took them home two days afterwards. Nettie is now a woman—the very same one who told the Republican to look back in his files for the story. NE W ZEAL AND CHERRIES. Yesterday a fruit dealer on Market street, incensed at the liberties taken by the loafers with his wares display ed at the door, placed a half gallon of Cayenne peppers in a basket, labeled it "New Zealand Cherries," and hung it in a conspicuous place in front of his stand. In a few minutes the next-door merchant sauntered up, inquired how trade was, picked up a Now Zealand cherry, placed it in his mouth, and suddenly left to attend to a customer. Rev. Dr. Bully next rounded to, ob served that the yellow fever news from Memphis was not very encourag ing this morning, and—ah! it had been years since he had eaten a New Zealand cherry; whereupon he ate one, remarked that it was superb, wiped his weeping eyes" on his coat sleeve, supposed that New Zealand wasgetting warmer every year, wished the dealer good morning, and departed, lamenting the growing weakness of his eyes in the sunlight. A chronic dead-beat then came up, took a mouth ful of cherries, spluttered them out, with an imprecation, all over the fruit, stuffed a pear, a banana and a bunch of grapes into his mouth to take out the taste, informed the dealer that he would have him prosecuted for keep ing green fruit, and went down the street to a fire-plug, where he sat wip ing tears for au hour. A lady with two children next appeared, stopped to admire the cherries, asked if she mightn't just taste them—she never had seen any before—supplied the children and walked away—walked away with a face fiery with scorn and anger, while the children set up a howl that brought all the people to the doors and windows, and drove all the policemen off the street. Thus the fun went on all the morning. The fruit dealer never laughed so much in his life. The occupants of the adjacent and opposite shops, and a shoal ef small boys, soon learned what was up and watched and joined in a ringing roar as each new victim tried the cherries. Finally a solemn-looking countryman lounged up, inquired the price of them 'ere New Zealand cher ries, invested in a pint, put one in his mouth, took it out again, gave the fruit-dealer a lingering look of mild re proach, pulled oil' his coat and "waded into" him. When he left, the fruit man with tendencies to practical jokes, had a blue eye, a red no.se, a purple face, a sprained wrist, and several bushels of fruit scattered among the small boys, while the same ringing roar of laughter was going up from the lookers on.— Detroit Free Press. —llenry Bessemer, the English in ventor, has taken out 1(50 patents.

NO. 2. HOW SMITH LOST A CASE. , The court and jury, as well as spec . tators, generally enjoy the scene when I a lawyer, in an attempt to browbeat a . witness, comes off second best in an encounter. A correspondent recalls an amusing incident of this sort, which happened a few years ago in an Albany court rooeff. The plaintiff, who was a lady, was called to testify. She got on very well and made a favorable impression on the jury under the guidance of her counsel, Hon. Lyman Tremain, until the opposing counsel, Hon. Henry Smith, subjected her to a sharp cross examination. This so confused her that she fell to the floor in a swoon. Of course, this excited general sym pathy in the audience, and Mr. Smith saw that his case looked badly. An expedient suggested itself by which to make the swooning appear like a piece of stage trickery, and thus destroy sympathy for her. The lady's face in swooning had turned purple red, and this fact suggested the new line of attack. The next witness was a middle-aged lady, whom the counsel asked: "Did you see the plaintiff faint a short time ago ?" "Yes, sir." "People turn pale when they faint, don't they ?" A great sensation in the court, and an evident confusion of witness. But in a moment she answered, "No, not always." "Did you ever hear of a case of fainting where the party did not turn pale ?" "Yes, sir." "When?" "About a year ago." "Where was it ?" "In this city.' By this time the excitement was so intense that everybody listened very anxiously for the reply. It camo promptly, with a twinkle in the lady's eye, as if from suppressed humor: "It was a negro, sir." Peal after peal of laughter shook the room, in which the aged Judge joined. DARK RUMORS OF WAR. NEW YORK, NOV. 19. —Considerable excitement was caused throughout this city yesterday by rumors to the effect that war may be expected to be de clared at any moment between Russia and England. Dispatches from London to the Associated Press stated that Russia had requested Turkey to notify all signers of the treaty of 1856 to send squadrons to the Dardanelles in case the English fleet entered the strait. Feeling ran high in certain circles, and some announced that the English Government had instructed Lord Dufferin, England's representa tive at St. Petersburg, to cease nego tiations with the Government of the Czar. A reporter called on the Eng lish Consul to ascertain what informa tion he had on the subject, and the Consul said he knew nothing beyond what he had seen in the newspapers, and that he thought the news was sen sational and without foundation. It is not probable in his opinion that so serious a state of affairs could arise so suddenly. Still, the rumors might be well founded for anything he knew to the contrary, but as yet he had received no official notification on the subject. Later dispatches says that the Lon don Post , an official authority, denies that England has sent an ultimatum to the Porte, which the Channel squadron was to enforce, and denies that she has demanded from Turkey the cession of a port ou the Black Sea. —This is a Nation with a big, big N, and a Mansard roof and bay win dows. —A young girl always feels "down in the mouth" when she kisses her sweetheart. —lt takes the skin of one whole in nocent kid to make a woman of to-day a pair of fashionable gloves. —At sixteen a young lady always gets sweet on some fellow.
