THE PRKE-LVND CONTEST.
The last of the contested election cases was
disposed of this evening after a hird day's
work. At the mornintr session of the House a
disposition was manifested by some f the lle
publicans to act in the Pricc-Lytul contest in
the same manuer as the Democratic Senators
did in the Lyndall-Dcchert contest; but after a
long argument, in which Messrs. Siranir, Mar
Bliall, Smith, Sehuattcrly, and Kllis took an
nctivc part, the Senate resolution fixing an hour
for drawing the comniittco was concurred in
almost unanimously. Accordingly, at 3 o'clock,
the joint committee met, and singular to relate
the entire committee was composed of Republi
cans. This is a remarkable fact considering
that the Republicans on joint ballot had Uut nine
majority. Thus twice this session have two en
tirely Republican committees been selected
under the present system, which was inaugu
rated by Colonel Ziegler, the Clerk of the
Senate, and it seems to be as nearly perfect a
mode as can be obtained. The committee orga
nized shortly after having been sworn in, by the
selection of John S. Mann as chairman. An ad
journment was then had until to-morrow, when
the stenographer will be elected. There is a
rumor to-night that as the committee is so com
pletely Republican, advices have been sent to
Philadelphia requesting a withdrawal of the
contest and advising Mr. Trice to take his
chances iu the next Mayoralty election.
A NEW PARK FOR PHILADELPHIA.
A bill will shortly be introduced into the
J louse for the creation of a new park in the
northeastern Ecctiou of the city. The act has
been drawn by a skilful lawyer, who forwarded
it to-day to Harrisburg. It provides that the
Councils of Philadelphia shall have power to
appropriate the money necessary for the pur
chase of the property, which comprises about
MX) acres, and that it shall be known as Wingo
hocking Park. It also provides that it shall be
under the charge of the IVinnouut Park Com
mission, and that it shall be bounded as fol
lows: Beginning at the northeastern corner of
Luzerne and Second streets, thence extending
eastward along Luzerne street unto I stree
thence northward along the latter, and crossing
the Tacony creek to a point that shall not be
uearcr said creek than iJOO feet, and which shall
be bo adju-ted aud a boundary line taken there
from northwestward, which shall not bo any
where nearer said creek than said distance, but
shall include all woodlands within 900 feet of
said creek, until said line shall reach Oluey
road, thence along the same southward to the
Kensington and Oxford Turnpike road, thcueo
southward along the same unto Second street,
thence along the latter to the place of begin
ning, in the Twenty-second, Twenty-third, and
Twenty-fifth wards.
TIIE TAX ON INSURANCE COMPANIES.
The Committee on Legis'ation of the Councils
of Philadelphia are raying their first visit to the
Legislature this session. They came accompa
nied by President Iluhn of the Common branch,
and B. II. Haines, Clerk of Select branch,
with a bill which provided that the
insurance companies should contribute mainly
to the support of the new paid Fire Department
of the City of Broiherly Love. A consultation
with the PMladclplia delegation was held on
Monday evening at the Keystone House, the
headquarters of the visitors. There was but
little harmony in the movement. Smith, of
Gcrmantown, was opposed in toto to the propo
sition, while others asked questions so nume
rously that it was Impossible to come to any
satisfactory conclusion. An adjournment was
had, and it was then discovered that there was
in existence an act which covered the ground.
At the session of 1814 there was an act passed
to reduce the State debt aud to incorporate the
Pennsylvania Canal and Railroad Company, the
32d section of which Is as follows: "And
whereas, It is necessary that provision be made
for the payment of the interest upon the State
debt; therefore be it further enacted, that from
and after the passage of this act, all real estate,
to wit, houses, lauds, lots of ground and ground
rents, mills and manufactories of alt kinds, fur
naces, forges, bloomeries, distilleries, wharves,
sugar houses, m ilt houses, breweries, tanyards,
fisheries, and ferries, and all other real estate
not exempt by law from taxation; also, all per
sonal estate, to wit, horses, mares, geldings,
mules, and not cattle over the age of four
years; also all mortgages, money owing by
solvent debtors, whether by promissory note,
penal or eingle bill, bond or judgment; also,
all articles of agreement and accounts bearing
i nterest, owned or possessed by any person or
persons whatsoever, except notes or bills for
work and labor done, and bank notes;
also, all shares or stock in any bank, insti
tution, or company now or hereafter
incorporated by or in pursuance of any law of
this Commonwealth, or of any other State or
Government; and on all shares of stock or
weekly deposits in any unincorporated savings
fund institution, and all public loans or stocks
whatever, except those issued by this Common
wealth, and all money loaned or Invested on
interest in any other Slate; also, all household
furniture, Including gold and silver plate, owned
by any person or persons, corporation or corpo
rations, when the value thereof shall exceed the
sum of three hundred dollars; alaso, all pleasure
carriages, both o? two and four wheels; salaries
and emoluments of ollice, all offices and posts of
profit, professions, trades, aud occupations, ex
cept the occupation of farmers, together with
all other things now taxable by the laws of this
Commonwealth, bhall bo valued and assessed
and subject to taxation for the purposes in this
act mentioned, and for all State aud county pur
poses whatsoever."
In order to apply the provisions of this act to
the city of Philadelphia, Thomas J. Barger, Esq.,
had an act to that effect passed through the
Legislature In 1804, giving the City Councils
the power to levy the tax. Governor Curtin
vetoed it, and it then became a law at a special
session in the sanj$ year, by both brauches
passing it over the veto.
Its provisions were, for reasons unknown,
xever taken advantage of by the municipal au
thorities, but It was believed that the same in
fluences which induced Governor Curtia to re
turn it without hi? signature were brought to
iear upon the authorities which were then in
lower.
LOVERS" ST II A TA OEMS.
Talking of lovers' intercommunications,
modern courtship finds expedients that surpass
Ovid'u power of invention. Two such come
to mind. One was described to me by a
party to it, a droll Trench barbicr fall of
anecdote, who used to operate upon my
ehevclure, and nearly made me bald with his
stories; for while I listened he talked, and
while he talked he cut. lie had kept a shop
in a native country town, and thither used
frequently to go a young demoiselle, closely
watched by her duenua. Her hair was
curled in papers which were letters to her
lover. The hair-dresser took these out and laid
them aside, replacing them whnu necessary
with others which were letters from the for
bidden youth.
This curl-pfiper love-making went on for
months; the end of it does not concern us.
The second expedient was witnessed in
Seville. At dark, a young don stole beneath
a lofty window, unscrewed the handle of his
walking-stick, drew out longth after length
of its tubular interior, and fitted the parts
like a fishing-rod; he put a month-piece at
each end, and raised ono end to the envied
lattice. A head appeared; and as long as the
spectator's patience lasted ho saw lips and
ears above and below alteratcly applied to the
soul-communing pipe. Johuson's fishing-rod
"a worm at ono end aud a fool at the
other ! " "Which was which 't
Surratt was advertised to lecture in Rich
mond, Alexandria, and Lynchburg, but failed
to appear at the time announced, very little to
the disappointment of the few persons as
sembled. k On the petition of wholesalers of kerosene,
an iuspeclor of the products of petroleum has
been appointed in Springfield, Mass., and the
intention is to enforce strictly the law against
the sale of dangerous illuminating oils.
A Norwich man, who sometimes yields to
the fascinations of the flowing bowl, has a
faithful dog which follows him constantly,
arouses him when he would fain fall asleep in
the highway, and compels him to go home.
Some of the Texas Democrats are making
desperate efforts to heal the disseusions in their
party, but apparently with ltltle hope of suc
cess unless they can throw nearly all their old
leaders overboard.
A young married woman, apparently in
good health, fell dead in Coatesville, Chester
county, Pa., a few days ago, while preparing
dinner, and her aged mother, hastening down
stairs on being 6ummoued, fell and was killed
instantly.
A letter from London says that Mrs. Lin
coln was in that city on the" 2id ult. for the
purpose of placing her son Tad at school, and
that, having accomplished this, sh purposed
joining her friend, Mrs. Bishop Sfmpsou, In
Rome.
Some Maine-law-ol?erving citizens of Port
laud, Maine, insist that they saw a rainbow in
the west last Sunday noon. They say that the
heavens were free from clouds at the time, yet
the bow appeared displaying all its prismatic
colors.

The greater part of the roal Is already In opera

The balance of the work necessary to establish
throDRh connections, thereby shortening the dis
tance between St. Paul and Chicago 49 miles, and 90
miles to St. Louis, Is rapidly progressing, In time for
the movement of the coming grain crops, which, it
is estimated, will double the present Income of the

The established character of this road, runalng as
It docs through the heart of the most thickly-suUled

undoubted security. A small quantity of tho Issue
onlyiemalns unsold, and when the enterprise is
completed, which will be this fall, an Immediate ad

The bonds have fifty years to run, are convertible
at the option of tho holder into the stock of the Com
pany at par, and the payment of the principal is pro
vided for by a sinking fund. The convertibility
privilege attached to these bonds cannot fall to cause
them, at an early day, to command a market prk e
considerably above par. U. S. Five-twenties at pre
sent prices return only 4 per cent, currency inte
rest, while these bonds pay per cent., and we
regard them to be as safe and fully equal as a security
to any Railroad Bond issued; and until they are

rules of which require tbe road to be completed, we
obligate ourselves to rebuy at any time any of these
bonds sold by us after this date at the same price as
realized by ns on their sale.
