The Great Qaestton.
Wc had hoped to be able to give
the readers of the JOURNAL some
thing definite on the probable result
of the Presidential struggle, but the
beginning of the end is uot yet. The
Electoral Tribunal now has the sase
of Florida under consideration
which is the first disputed stats in
alphabetical order. If Florida is de
cided in favor of Tilden, which is
highly probable, the contest is virtu
ally decided and little interest will
be manifested in Louisiana and Ore
gon. Even if Florida is "counted"
for Hayes, which is not likely to say
the least, we still have Louisiana
with her eight electoral rotes, to rely
upon, for the Republicans themselves
have no hope of forcing that state
into the Hayes lines, since the late
devetoperaents by Knott's committee
are making the rascalities of the Re
turn Board more damnable every
day.
With a strdnge faith in the tri
umph of right, we say Tihtcn xciU be
President I
Our member iu the House, Mr.
Alexander, has introduced a bill ex
tending the term of office of Assessors
froin one to three rears. * The pro
priety of such a law is apparent at
first sight. The duties of au Asses
sor art responsible and the labors
rather complex and manifold. The
public is interested in having adu
late and impartial assessments
made. Taxes bear heavily upon all
classes of the People and it is of the
utmost importance that tbey should
be fairly and equally distributed.
In order that this may be done As
sessors should be competent men
and have some experience as well.
Oue year is entirely too short a time
f)r most men to acquire any fair
degree of efficiency in this business.
Let the term be made at least three
ysars, then elect men adapted for
the work, and we will hare less
complaint of inequalities, bungling
and seeming partiality.
Mr. Alexander informs ns that
there is good prospect to have the
bill passed.
Philadelphia is groaning under a
debt of *72.890,372, which in 1872
was only $53,272,012. The annual
taxation has increased from $7,324,-
403 in 137 i, to $11,131,504 in 187 C.
This enormous and ruinous increase
both in debt and taxation is the di
rect result of a corrupt Pilgrim Ring
rule of which the present Mayor,
Wm. S. Stokely is at the head, rhe
better class of citizens of both par
ties have united in a rigorous cam
pa'gn against the present city gov
ernment, and hare nominated Mr.
Joseph L. Caven, one of Philadel
phia's most worthy citizens, for
Mayor. Every indication points to
the election of Caven and the down
fall of ring rule, at the coming mun
icipal election.
The bill authorizing the people
of the State to vote upon the ques

"We have received the January
number of LEISURE HOURS, a hand
some mammoth 16 page (64 columns)
family paper, filled with the choicest
literature—serial <vid short stories,
sketches,, poetry, wit, humor, Ac.,
&c. It is entertaining,amusing and
fnstruetive, aud is one of the chap
est papers—the amount and quality
of matter considered—that we have
seen. The price is $1.20 per year,
including as premium'u
line steel engraving, called 4 Thc
MitberlesS Bairn," printed on 22x28
jilate paper, which the publishers
claim i f superior in point of merit
and attractiveness to any premium
ever offered by any other paper in
this country, and is alone worth the
money asked for both.
The publishers, J L. Patten A Co.,
162 William st.,.New York* authorize
us to say, that in order tb introduce
the paper in this vicinity they make
a special offer to every one of our
readers to send them the paper —a
"trial trip" of four months, post
paid, commencing with January
number—for 25 cents.
Our readers who avail themselves
of this offer will, we feel certain,
thank us for having called their at
tention to it. The publishers of
LEISURE HOURS would like to em
ploy some one in every place to can

It is quite a curiosity. The Misses

notwithstanding hard times and bad
weather. 823,15 were realized, which
far exceeds the expectations of all
concerned. The character of the
performance was first class through

wise, when directed hy that cele

sem hv another musical expert Prof.

The Millheim B. A L. Associa
tion is no longer an experiment, but
a proud success. The Board of Di
rectors have much reason to con
gratulate themselves on their safe
and economical management of the
concern. In this respect it compares
favorably with any institution in
central Pennsylvania. The Bscond
year is just closed and the annual
rei>ort will be presented at the next
regular meeting. Feb. 12. Sulscrip

are opon until that date. The series

wishing to take stock will please

The Irving Literary'lnstitute was
organized over a year ago, and has
kept up its meetings ever since. It
meets weekly during the Winter and
monthly during the Summer. Ques
tions of practical utility are discuss
ed, speeches made aud essays read.
It is not the primary object of the
Institute to manufacture prospective
Governors and Presidents, but to
disseminata useful knowledge, culti
vate the art of public speaking and
acquire familiarity with Parliamen
tary laws and usages. A high order
of talent is not claimed, but the In
stitute is willing ta cultivate what
it has. A public entertainment iras
given last winter, which was a
markfd suocess, and another will be
given before long.
Feeling a deep interest in the con
tinued success of the Institute we
should be happy to see more general
interest manifested in its behalf,
especially bv the young men of Mill

The St. Cloud Hotel, Philadel
phia, is certainly one of the most
comfortable and complete in the ci
ty. Situated in the midst of the
wholesale and retail busiuess houses,
and convenient to all the places of
amusement. Since the Exhibition
the house has been thoroughly reno
vated ; the frescoing IN beautiful,
while the new carpets and painting
generally add a cheerfulness scarcely
to be imagined. Mr. G. VT. Mullin
has admitted hie eon, Geo. K. Mill
lin, and Euward L. Bean, of Fort
Wayne, Ind ,to assist him. In the
future the firm will be G. W. Mul
lin A Co. This house is certainly
deserving of patronage, as it was the
only.one which did not raise the
priee Wn fccemiut of the Centennial,
and endeavored to extend the same
comforts, as it has previously, to
ertry one. We advise all contem
plating a visit to the eity to stop at
the St. Cloud.

Sudden and Tremendous KUeofthe
West Branch.
KEATINO, Clinton Co., Pa., Feb
ruary 3.—at 4.30 P. M. the ice gorge
in the West brauch started a few
miles above this place. For five
minutes it moved down the river all
right, but at 5.05 p. M. it gorged
about one mile below, at a place
called S *reezy Bar, and then com
menced a never-to- be-forgotten sight.
At this place (Keating) the Sinnema
honing creek enters the West
branch, and the icj ami water im
mediately began to rise at a tremen
dous rate. Ira men so piles of ice
were backed out on the boitum
farms, ;ujrl in five minutes the en
tire fiat was in undated. At 5.15 P.
M. the ice was on the level with the
Philadelphia and Erie Railroad
bridge, which spans tlie Simiema
h.Kiitig tlihty feet above low-water
mark. The loss to the farmers and
lumbermen of this section will be
enormous. Thousands of feet of
tiiuler and lics are either in the
gorge or tossed from the numerous
pile* that liue the river and creek
readr for floating in the spring.
Fences are all down and houses bro
ken aod destroyed by the vast cakes
..of ice that have piled on them. fcjuch
a flood has not been seen since 1847,
and great want and suffering will
ensue. The scene it one of great
desolation. At 11 p. M. the gorge
| had not moved.
