NEXT ! The third of the New York boodle aldermen, O'Xeil, will take bis chances to go to Sing Siug aud work for a living such as it is. His trial began on Monday aud if the court pursues a similar course to the forego ing two cases O'Xeil will have to go up too TURNING OUT Democratic clerks is all the go now at the state depart ment in Harrisburg. Three ot Gov. Pattison's clerks got their dismissals and others will have to follow as soon as Republicans can be found to fill the places satisfactorily. But Pennsylva nia is under Republican rule and the Democrats will have to ''walk." WAR between France aud Germany seems inevitable. All indications point to hostilities between these two countries which may break out iu op en battle any time next summer. The dispatches to the press of this country report unusual activity at all the arsenals and the French seem very sanguine about getting Aisace and Loraine back into their possession and have a bitter feeling against anything German. THE chairmanship of the Democrat ic State Committee changed hands at the meeting of the committee in Ilar risburg last Wednesday. Mr. Ilensel, who retired, has filled that position very creditably, considering the disad vantages under which a democratic chairman labors in this state. He has always shown a bold front and never lost hope. Mr. Dallas Sanders,of Philadelphia, his successor, is said to be an active and faithful democrat, and it is be lieved that he will make a good lead er for the party. GOVERNOR BEAVER has met with a sad bereavement since he entered the high office of chief magistrate of this Commonwealth, in the death of his three-year-old son, James A., which occurred on Saturday night. The child had suffered but a brief spell from that dreaded malady, dip theria. James was the pet of the family and was an unusually bright child for his age. The mother U al most prostrated by grief and the many friends of tte afflicted family received the news with sadness and telegrams of condolence were received at the executive mansion from all parts of the state. THE list of the Docemratic County Committee for 188*7 appears at the head of this column. In glancing over the names it must strike an ob servant mind that the chairman, Mr, Jas. A. McClain, selected bis assist ants with circumspection and good judgement Most of the committee men at this end of the county are young and active Democrats who will take a lively interest in the welfare and success of their party in the coun ty. Led by as energetic a chairman as we know Mr. McClain will be the organization of the Democratic forces of Centre county cannot fail to be thorough and effective. THE Harrisburg Patriot in com menting editorially upon the death of Governor Beayer's little son, says there are suspicions that something must be radically wrong in the venti lation or drainage of the executive mansion. It calls attention to it that one ot Governor Hoyt's children was brought to death's door by the same dangerous disease, while Governor Pattigon lost a fine boy by diptheria shortly after his occupancy of the house. A speedy investigation of the surroundings of the building and a re moval of the unhealthful influences, if such exist, is recommended, and it is natural that the people of this state feel the greatest concern for the pres ervation of the health of the chief magistrates families, and urge that if there are any disorders about those premises it should be remedied at once. WHEN is the general settlement day for state business ? is a question very frequently asked and one rather hard to correctly answer, says the Patriot, The fact of the matter is that under the financial system now in vogue there is no time in the year when the commonwealth can properly balance its financial affairs. The fiscal year ends November 30, the appropriation year ends June 30. Licenses are re turnable quarterly on the first days of April, July, October and January, and corporations make report of taxes to the first Monday of November. Under such an arrangement as this? how can it bo expected that a balance sheet shall be made up showing ex clusively the business of any one year in all departments of revenue and ex penditure ? There may exist good reasons why the returns of licenses and corporation taxes should be made at the time specified, but there certainly is no val id reason why the fiscal year and the appropriation year should not be made to conform. HON. LEONARD RHONE, from this county, introduced an important bill in the House of Representatives with the view of equalizing taxation in Pennsylvania. The bill is entitled "an act amendatory of the several acts relating to the assessment and valuation of real, personal and corpo rate property for the purposes of tax ation." The act provides that assess ors shall in April assess all real estate and visible personal propertj at actual cash value, including bonds,mortgages, notes, bills and every other evidence of debt-bearing interest and due fioin sol vent debtors, except only the property exempted by the first section of the ninth article of the State Constitution. The property of piivate corporations included shall be such only as owned by them otherwise than strictly and exclusively for corporate purposes in conducting the authorized business of the company and not clearly represent ed by its taxed corporate stock and shares. One section provides that every tax able person or corporation shall furnish the assessors a written statement of all taxable property. Every evidence of debt not so reported shall be uncollect able by suit and interest thereon for feited. Assessors shall state in the as sessment books the amount secured by dower, mortgage, judgement, giound rent or charge, upon the premises of any taxable i>erson, firm, association or corporation and deduct the same from the valuation of the encumbered prop erty, provided said taxable person,linn, association or corporation shall pay the yearly amount of tax upon such dower, mortgage, judgement or charge to the collector of the tax, which amount the said taxable person, firm, association or corporation shall be entitled to offset as payment for interest or principal upon said dower, mortgage, judgement, ground rent or charge. License taxes upou wholesale and retail venders of merchandise are repealed. The Audit or General and State Treasurer shall annually fix the tax rate upon the capi tal stock and shares of private corpora tions subject to tax. Miscellaneous News. ! Another New England College.

WILKESPARKE, Pa., Jan. 21.—The superintendents of the Lehigh and Wilkfcsbarre and the Delaware and Hudson Coal companies' mines in this city received orders from headquarters to resume work to-morrow. The glad tidings are ieceived with joy by all classes, particularly the business men, who have been in an uncertain state of mind since the shut down. Nine thous and miners have been idle two weeks.

Scroggs, died here to-day, aged 66 years. He was born in Dar lington, Pennsylvania,became a lawyer and remoyed to Buffalo in 1840. lie was brigadier-general of tlje Thirteenth brigade, national guard, and during the war was provost marshal at Buffalo. He also for a time commanded the Twenty-fifth regiment of United States colored troops.

E ASTON, Pa., Jan. 21.—George Slack of Philipsburg, for thirteen years a brakeman on the Belvidere Delaware railroad, was killed on that road Inst night a short distance from bis home. While the train was being backed on a siding S'ack fell from the top of a freight car to the track. His head and both arms were cut off and his body al most to the hips cut to pieces. Slack was unwell yesterday, aud before leav ing homo last evening bis little girl ran after him and said, 'Please, pap i, don't go,* You are sick.' He leaves a wife and t wo children. RISING RIVERS. Tho Schuylkill and tho Suequohan mi Up at tho Ico Gorges. READING, January 24.—Owing to last night's rain all small streams in this vicinity and the Schuylkill riycr have risen. The ice in the river broke this morning and a monster gorge formed near Slioemakersville, above Heading. The ice is packed solidly ten and fifteen feet high the entire width of the liver for several miles and the water being unable to follow the course of tho river is now being driven back and flows over Hit surroundingcountry, many acres being under water. Many fences have been carried away and some live stock diowned* LOCK HAVEN, January 21—Tele grams* from up river districts state that the ice in the Susquehanna is breaking and gorging at different places, the nearest gorge being at West port, thirty miles west of this city. No fears are entertained here, as the river is not high enough to do any great damage. The Microscopical Society of West Chester has been at considerable pains to collect and publish the opinions of eminent scientific authorities as to the usefulness of the law offering a prem ium for the destruction of hawks, owl*, minks and weasels, and there is a de. cideil unanimity in favor of repeal. Ornithologist Merriam, of the Depart ment of Agriculture at Washington, ranks both hawks and owls among the best friends of the farmer, and says that instead of a bounty there should oe a tine for their slaughter, siuee they consume mice and insects on a large scale. Curator Ridgway, of the Bird Department of the Smithsonian Insti tution, confirms this view* and other scientists concur in it. One is tempted lo wonder, in view of the facts, how such a law ever cauie to be enacted by the Legislature, until it is remembered that the members knew that they did not know* anything about it and sup posed that their farmer constituents were better informed. The fanners are now frankly admitting that they were mistaken and demanding the re peal of the law. There is no doubt now that it should be repealed and al lowed to stay repealed.— Phihi. Tones. Resolutions of Px*cgiess Grange. The follow ing resolutions were passed at a meeting of the Progress Grange, at Centre Hall, at a meeting held on Jan uary 22: WHEREAS, Many newspapers in oonsijeratidy urge and advocate upon Congress the placing ot agricultural raw products on the free list for the benefit of the manufacturers or these products for whom they would retain the highest protection from foreign competition which policy, if it were adopted, would still further diminish the value of our already depreciated farm products oy many millions of dol lars without a corresponding reduction in the prices of manufactures, which would he a gross injustice to tlie far nieis of our country, and lead to bank ruptcy and ruin, therefore, Resolved, That we enter o.:r protest against Congress placing agricultural products on the free iist so long as the manufacturers are given the benefit of protection; and that we also protest ajainst any policy by the press that discriminates against agriculture in favor of manufactures and ask our far mers to withdraw their support and patronage from all periodicals and pa pers that will thus manifestly injure our industry. Resolved, That we favor such legis lation by the State and National Legis lature that w ill protect all our indus tries alike and develop them to the highest perfection and bring the great est remuneration and comforts to those engagtd in them. A Big Steal of Hogs. CHICAGO, Jan. 21.—A case of hog stealing on a grand scale, said to ha\e been carried on for the past two years, came to light yesterday by the arrest of Dennis McGurl, proprietor of a soap factory, his son, and five employes,who are alleged to have done the work. It is claimed that during that time no less than 3,500 hogs have been taken from the train of the Chicago and North western Road, aggregating in yalue be tween SIB,OOO and $20,000. 1 he plan of the robbery was to board a Stock train at a i ail road crossing or other stopping point and, entering one of the cars, remain there until the train was under headway. Opening the door of the car, three or four hogs could be thrown off in short order and unobserv ed and the thieves would themselves alight. The country through which the road passes op fhp western out skirts of the city is so deseited that the scheme was never exposed until the de tectives had worked upon the case for some time. Finally suspicion settled on McGurl ana his men. People in the neighborhood of the factory began to suspect that the proprietor was getting rich top fast. McGurl lias been doing a thriving business, supplying the large hotels with great quantities of soap which, it is now charged, was made from the stolen hogs. —TIIE GREAT ZTNGAUI.

HARRIS BURG 21. —Samuel Matt Fridy.t'or many years clerk in the olllce ot the Secretary of the Commonwealth and later Prothonotary of Lancaster county, will probably be the next I>p uty Serietary of the Commonwealth. The position was offered him a lew days ago and it is understood he has ac cepted. Ex-Adjutant General Guthrie left for Pittsburg to-day, satisfied that he would not be appointed commander of the Second Brigade National Guard, formerly commanded by General Reav er. Colonel John A. Wily, of Venan iro county, is to have the place. Captain Thomas P. Moloney, Super intendent of the State Arsenal, is to Lo retained on account of his elllcieucy. Robert SnoJgrass, of this city, will probably consent to serve as Deputy Attorney General under Attorney Gen eral Kirk pat rick. In connection with the bill appropri ating SBI,OOO to erect memorial tablets to maik the positions of the eighty-one Pennsylvania regiments in the battle of Gettysburg 011 the Ist, 2nd and ,'bd of July, lsti.l, an effort is being m ide to have a commission created to disburse the money. The soldiers who are press ing the appropriation are opposed to the proposed commission because no necessity exists for its creation. Governor Reaver is kept busy listen ing to personal appeals for office and reading letters of similar import. A bout two thousand persons have thxs far indicated their wil'ingness to till the lifty positions in the gift of the new administration. The letters addressed to the Governor since he assumed the duties ot his offue have become so nu merous that Private Secretary Pearson has been obliged to employ a short hand writer to answer the com nunic a tions, most of which are from anpli. cmts for office or friends representing them.
