THE last session of the 48th congress convened last Monday aud is gener ally called the short session. It will end on the 4th of March, when the 49th congress takes its place and the new President will be inaugurated. One of the first points of business on hand was the reading of the annual message of President Arthur, which is rather a lengthy document and would likely prove wearisome reading to our readers, and will thertfore not publish it. Its main features are congratulations to the people on the peaceful termination of the late presi dential contest and commendations of the report of the different departments tocongress. Furtheron it speaks of the suspension of the coinage of silver dollars and the insurance of silver cer tificates and winds up by touching up. on the great tariff question and finally the president thanks his fellow citizens for the support they gave him in the i administration of his executive duties. IT is generally believed that not much actual legislative work will be done in the present session of Con gress. It would be an exception to the general rule if much is done. A better time for Congress to meet would be the fifth of March, as by such an arrangement the danger of a failure in the Presidential succession would be prevented. /The next Con gress will not meet until December 1885, and there will, therefore, be from March 4th to December Ist no Speaker of the House. As is well known,the succession in case of death or inability of tho President is to the Vice-President; in case that official is unable to fill the place the Presidency goes to the Speaker of the House. ONE of the things commended in the annual report of the treasurer of the United States is the abolishment of the three-cent piece. We do not ttink anybody would be sorry if that coin would disappear from the maiket as it gives a heap of trouble on account of Its likeness to the 10-cent piece. SPEAKING of an improvement in the bad condition of business affairs the Philadelphia Times thinks that solid foundations are being laid for coming activity and that the first month of the new year will show the dawn of the new day. OUR congressman from this district, Hon. A. G. Cnrtin, of Bellefonte, left for Washington on Monday morning, nady to take his post and get down t> business at its commencement, which took place at noon. He expects to spend the Holiday recess at home. ACCORDING to official returns receiv ed up to the present the different states in the Union gave Cleveland 457,761 and Blaine 365,092 votes. This would make Cleveland's popular majority about 90,000. THE second session of the forty eighth congress began on Monday,the first day of this month. Piißt Blood for Honest Government One of the first visible fruits of Cleve land's election to the Presidency is the willingness and promptness of the long indebted Pacific Railroad corporations to settle their large indebtness to the government. They have been the debt ors of the government to the extent of seores of millions, and have defiantly lobbied Congress to defeat collection and have manipulated party leaders to control both the legislative and judicial departments of the government. The election of Cleveland is not mis understood by the men who have been plundering the government on a gigan tic scale. They hoped, labored and contributed freely for the defeat of Cleveland, but Ihey are shrewd enough to know that they are beaten, and the defeat means honest settlement. They know what the honest administration of the government on business princi ples means, and they propose to settle before the 4th of March. One of the most important lessons of the late election is the now inevitable e ill for open boo'/is.scrutinized aceout' s and honest settlements in all the de partments of the government: and the hitherto imperious and swindling Pa cific railways pay the first noted tribute to the new administration by propos ing to settle their unpaid millions with out a quibble.

All the Mills at Fall River, Massa chusetts, and Works at Pitts burg Start Up. FALL RIVER, Mass, Nov. 28.—A1l the mills started up this morning. There is an encouraging feeling among manufacturers, caused by the stiffening in prices of print cloths. The mills will all run here next week, and the general opinion in that it will not be necessary to stop du iug the win er. PITTSBURG, Pa., Nov. 28 —The pud dling and horseshoeing department of Schoenberger & Co's rolling mill,which have been closed for some time, resum ed this morning. Chess, Cook & Co's mills, after be ing shut down several weeks, will start up on Monday.

Unless the collieries are kept going it will be impossible to meet the demands. A Republican Outrage. YORK, Pa., Nov. 28-The republi cans at Cross Roads, York county, last night after a democratic parade and ju bilee at that place, cut down the A meiican flag which had been suspended across the street and it is supposed burned it. There is great indignation at this outrage perpetrated by those made angry through political disap pointment. WASHINGTON LETTER. From our Regular Correspondent. WASHINGTON,D. C\, Dec. 2,1884. The business of Cabinet making for Mr. Cleveland is beginning to be decid edly active,and will doubtless continue so until the day of the new President's inauguration. lam very well satisfied that Mr. Clevelaud has a good many surprises in store for those gentlemen of the party who havt been in the habit of arrogating to themselves all the cred it for party success. There are to be no representative Democrats of the Silurian period in the Cabinet, such as Mv. Buchanan surrounded himself with, but meu of activity, vigor and decidedly progressive notions—men, too, who have taken the aggressive in this Presidential campaign and devel oped the wonderful vitality of what was assumed to be a moribund political organization. I am also persuaded that whatever of differences of senti ment that may have occurred the other day on the occasion of Mr. Hendrick's visit to the President-elect, arose from this very question of filling the Cabinet with this mass of fossilized reminis cences. The President is a young man himself—the youngest we have ever had. save Mr. Pierce—and "lie very na turally would prefer to select for his advisers men nearer to his own age than any of those who have been prom inently named as lieing morally certain of a Cabinet appointment. As it is not likely that even Mr. Cleveland him self has given the constitution of his Cabinet a thought, it is not more likely that we shall know anything about it until the names are actually forwarded to the Senate for confirmation. The Commissioner of Indian affairs makes bitter complaint that the Gov ernment is not expending money enough upon its copper colored wards, and says that their civilization must he postponed until the nation gets ready to meet the gteat. necessity of their ed ucation. While the Lord helps those who help themselves, we are decidedly of the opinion that there is to lie no de parture from that intention so long as the Indian prefeis to remain the dirty, lazy lout that he now is. Every dollar that is spent upon the fellows befoie they evince a desire tobecome civilized, is so much robbed from the American people to be thrown away upon poker jack and cut-throat euchre. PIIONO. Miscellaneous Sews. Plum-Pudding for Governor Cleve- land. RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 27.—A feature of to-day's Thanksgiving observance was a largely attended supper given by the Union Democratic Club to-night,at which a mammoth English plumb pudding was served. The pudding weighed 219 pounds—one pound for each Cleveland electoral vote. Fifteen lollars was paid by an enthusiastic citi zen fo:the nrivilige of cutting the first piece, weighing twelve pounds, repre senting the electoral vote of Virginia, to be sent to Governor Cleveland .'Miu ' boxes were distributed about the table and a large amount of money was con tributed for the poor o( the city.' —YOUR tooth is too sound to be ex tracted, yet you cannot endure tlie ago ny it is inflicting. lour only recourse is a bottle of Zingu i Toothache Drops Relief certain, and only costs 15 cents. JOHNSTON, HOLLO IVA Y & CO., Philadelphia Agents. S)!d by J. Eiseiihiitn, Miilheim, Pa. A $47,000 FIND. In an Inland of tho North Branch cfthe Susquehanna. DANVILLE, NOV. 29. Frank Lewis and Jacob Gearhart, workingmen who were thrown out of steady employment by the business ue preaeiou, wuiit durvs o river tfeyupul days ago to dig for roots which are in demand by pharmacists. Three miles below this place there is an island in the middle of the stream,which attiacts at tention in summer by the luxurious growth of vegetation which it displays, being uninhabited and uncultivated. Lewis suggested that they dig for roots there, as the different shades of green which be bad noticed in the warm sea son indicated an uuusual variety of herbage. Gearhart consented, and t hey hired a row boat and went to work. They had not dug long when they came upon a nu-tal box. Eagerly breaking it open with their picks they found it con tained coins amounting nearly to $47,- 000, including $lO 000 in Mexican silver dollars, $30,000 in gold doubloons and SI,OOO in small silver coins, which will need some polishing to make them pass, able. The general supposition is that the money was placed there by Captain Kidd during the sixteenth century. He was at one time bard pnssed on the Chesapeake Bay by other pirates, en tered the Susquehanna river a id sailed up to Crook's RiflLs, which at that time formed part of the island. —IT IS in order now for every manu facturer to praise and extol the virtues of his cough medicine,and claim it ever so much better than any other.

Apropos of the roller-skating craze so so prevalent all over the country now, the origin of the pastime may prove of some interest to the public. The roller skate was inyented, accord ing to a newspaper who is supposed to know, a dozen years ago by a Yankee named Plympton, who, failing to inter est the people of this country in it,went to English families stopping at Martha's Vineyard, where the first rink was established in 1878 or 1879 A b nit this time Frank E. Winsloe im proved the skate, and commenced to establish rinks all oyer the country,and they may now be found in almost every town of any size. The extent of the craze maj be judged from the tact that one firm in Rochester has sold between 3.000 and 4,000 pairs of skates since the first of Aoril. The skates are being continually improved patents on the same having been issued almost daily during the first of the year, the most recent of which is one to a man who has affixed ail attachment to the rollers by which they are rendered noiseless. Woman's Province. THE DUTIES OF THE GENTLER SEX— HOW BEST FULFILLED. What a great task is assigned to wo man. Ita dignity cannot be elevated. It is not her province to make laws, to lead armies, nor to be at the head of great en terprises, but to her is given the power to form those by whom the laws are made, to teach the leaders of mighty armies and the governors of vast empires. She is required to guard against having the slightest taint of bodily infirmity touch the frail creature whose moral, intellect ual and physical being is derived from her. She must instil correct principles, inculcate right doctrines, and breathe into the soul of her offspring those pure senti ments which in time to come will be a part of themselves, and bless generations yet unborn. Yes, to woman is given the blessed privilege of aiding the sufferer in all the various stages of his existence. She smilea serenely at the christening, and weeps at the burial, while she 6oothes the bereaved heart. This is her province and duty. Yet how can she fulfill her mission unless possessed of a strong and healthy body? The preparation of Dr. S. B. Hartman, and known as PERUNA, is just the thing for persons suffering from a ma jority of the complaints incident to this climate. It is invaluable to women, and Mrs. J. W. Reynolds, of New Lisbon, ColdVnbiana county, Ohio, is a noted ex ample of what the medicine can do. She says she has suffered for years with con gestion of the lungs, catarrh in the head, and was troubled with a bad cough. She had tried a number of physicians, but they all failed to cure her. She was in duced to try PERUNA, and immediately a marked change took place. After using one bottle her cough ceased and in a 6hort time her other ailments were cured. She Is now completely restored to health, and gives all the credit to PERUNA. Mr. J. W. Reynolds, her husband, was a con firmed invalid. He could not sleep well, neither could he work. He used PERUNA, and as a result, was completely restored to his former vigor and strength. He says he now feels like a new man. Mr. Bernhardt Seubs, St. Clair, St. Clair county, Mich., says: " I have thor oughly tried your PERUNA in the various diseases to which parents and a large fam ily of children are ever liable, and I find it in every case to be just the thing needed. No family can honestly be without it-** Nancy Feterman, Cookport, Indiana County, Pa., says: " Gentlemen: Your valuable PERUNA is the best medicine I ever used." LEGJJL Jil) VEH I ISEMEJV fs.
