The Cumberland Valley Road. — The securing of a sufficient amount of stock in the above Road, by the Pennsyl vania Rail Road, to obtain control of it, is 7 ~. \ \ 7 heartily approved by Jthe press of Phila delphia;, and suggestions have been made by the North American that the road should be continued to connect with the railroad traversing the great valley of Virginia and connecting with the Balti more and .Ohio Road. "Thisis surely a matter of interest to Philadelphia, whose citizens should not be slow in securing so desirable a trade as that which the open ing of suoh a road and connection would surely bring. • . The Gains. —The Opposition party t hag done well in the late elections so far* as Congress is concerned. The following are the gains:—,. ■ ' Kentucky Tennessee North Carolina ..... Oregon .................... This considerably increases the strength of the conservative balance of power in that body to about thirty Representatives. The Democrats have elected ninety-two Lecomptonltes and six anti-Lecomptonites, in all ninety-eight, and the Republicans have one hundred and fourteen, and of course neither can control the House, nor organize it under any ultra Speaker. Gov. Wise in Trouble. —Gov. Wise, of Virginia, who is now playing a bold Land to secure the Presidential nomination by the Democratic Couvqjition at Charles ton, has lately got himself into a “ peck o’ trouble” by letter writing, at which he Las always been considered the most ex tensive in the country. His late trouble consists in the publication of a private let ter to some New York lt is said that he is now about to publish? a let ter some twenty or thirty columns Ipng iu , .right the impressions created by. the publication of the private letter, and also to give a history of the Albany Regency ibr the last thirty years, as he has known them from Jackson’s day to the present. In nine cases out of ten the fewer letter politicians wrke, either for Publication or to private individuals, the better for them. x.

BSaf About the hardest case of frost-bitten wheat is related by the Detroit Tribune, of a farmer who sold fourteen acres of wheat the day after the June frost for $65. The buyer after wards refused $4OO for it. A young man named Householder, of Huntingdon, wits almost instantly killed, on Monday evening week, by being thrown off and m front of o hand-car, on the Pa. R. R., near toe above place. The State of South Carolina is taking a census, and in seventeen parishes there is o de crease of over 5,000 whites since 1855, while the blacks have largely increased.

The widow challenged him to fight a duel, and as the ruffian declined, she attacked him with a Revolver, and lodged three balls in his body, one of which passed through his heart. Duel with Knives.—A desperate fight came off several weeks since in Oregon, between a noted trapper named Aroeau and an Indian “brave.” They fought with knives, and were both terribly put up. The trapper at last grap pled with and threw his antagonist, and then cut his throat from ear to ear. Suicide.—Mr. Adam Hoffman, of Fer managh to irnship, Juniata county, committed suicide on Sunday afternoon last, by catting hia throat with a razor. He had been partially in sane for several weeks previous to the commit tal, of the rash act He was a bachelor, and about 70 years of age.

In a lecture delivered by Dr. Morris J. Frank lin, iu Providence, on Sunday evening, and re ported in the Providence press, the speaker said : The Jews of this country how number about 200,000. In New York city alone there are 40,000. The attention of the Jews ip Eu rope is turned towards America on accoiint of the persecutions to which they are subjected iu some countries on the continent, and a rapid increase of thoir numbers here may be expected by immigration. Many Jews in this country are occupying prominent and influential posi tions in politics and business. Messrs. Yulee and Benjamin, of the United States Senate, and Messrs. Zollicoffor, Oliver, Philips and Hart, of the National House of Representatives, are numbered, among the children of Abraham.— Instead of reading the Scriptures in the Hebrew tongue, understood only as the Rabbi interprets it, many now use the English version. These hatfe introduced many reforms into their mode of worship—they have now their choirs, their organs, and their Sabbath Schools. The Heb rew Christians, the converted Jews, in this country, number three or four hundred, and of this number nearly one hundred are engaged in preaching, the Gospel of Christianity, or in a coarse of study preparatory for doing so. Desperate Row is St. Louis.— The St. Louis papers give the details of a prize fight which-took place on an island seven miles above Alton, op Thesday, between Shanghai Connor, of St. Louis, and James Byrnes, of New Orleans. Twto steamers transported the crowd from St. Louis to:the battle-field. Near fifteen hundred persons assembled about the ring. Fourteen rounds were fought. On the last round Connor was struck while down, and the cry of “ foul play” was raised, and Connor awarded the vic tor. A toiribie row ensued. The Democrat says: “Stripped, bloody and ragged, Byrnes dared Connor to come out and finish the fight, which he declined. Then many of Connor’s men rushed on shore and joined their comrades, and a scene of riot and murderous attack fol lowed which baffles description. Knives were freely, used; bottles, sticks and rocks were hurled, and at last a shot was fired. This was a signal for a general drawing of pistols, and some one hundred shots were rapidly fired.— Those who had not pistols rushed for their boats, which at the same time besan booking off from the shore. There was then a heavy rush to get on board,: and some forty persons were instantly in the river. Certain skiffmen pulled away iu terror, leaving the victims to swim or drown, as they might. One or two fights actually occur red in the water. The swimmers at length scrambled on board, not knowing bow many bad sunk and been drowned. Probably three or four perished, at least.” The Ska Sekpent.— The Monster Caught.— The Yarmouth (Mass.) Register says that the far-famed sea-serpent has lately visited that port, and was chased up a narrow creek and caught. He tamed out to be a horse mackerel, measuring over eight feet in length and weigh ing 816 pounds. The Register says :—lt is the opinion of experienced fishermen that this is the fish which hns given rise to the belief in a sea serpent. When it is running at its ordinary in search of prey it moves along just un der the surface of the water, producing a wave rises up in a series of corrugations for about one hundred feet in a straight line, before it fails off into the ordinary Bprcadin<*> wake by a boby moving through the s water. This appearance in moderate weather so closely resembles that of a hugh serpent moving over the surface of the water that it is difficult, even for- those accustomed to the appearance, to re alize that it is nothing but a wave, and it is not strange that when seen for the first time, it shquld strike the beholder with' terror. Cube i;oe Hydeophb ra . — Mr. Renatus Bach mann writes to Albany Evening Journal as fol lows: ' r fln perusing this morning’s paper, I ob served a’case of hydrophobia, which thus far has been a stumbling block for physicians in general to overcome.

Desperate Jump or a Drunken Mas. — Says the Trenton American :—We witnessed on Sat urday afternoon an attempt to break a neck, .which, nine times out of tea, would have been completely successful. When the train for New York, at 6.15, was near the trosUo. work, we saw a man rush up to the conductor, and ask to have the train stopped in order that he might get off, as he ‘Wished to go up die Belvidere road, amd had mistaken the train. The conduc tor told him; that this was impossible, find that he must go to Princeton and take the train back. After some words the passenger turned around, and hurried through the car to the door in the rear. Seeing that he was very much ex cited, we watched his motions, and'saw him step upon the lower step where he stood a mo ment until the train had passed a party of la borers at work upon the road, when he sprung off, the train at the time running at a speed of fifteen or twenty miles an hour. He alighted upon his feet, but -scarcely touched the ground before he pitched head first in the ditch, and out of that by a backward summersault, and rolling over and over fetched up some ten feet from the track, in the meadow. The last wo saw'of him he was trying to get up. Of course the passengers who witnessed the ground and lofty tumbling were much alarmed, and the con ductor was abont to stop and run back to pick up the dead or mortally wounded man ; howev er, on being told that there were laborers upon the spot, he concluded to go on and telegraph from Princeton to the agent at Trenton, who, | on receiving the despatch, at once made inquiry i as to the fate of the jumper, when he found | that far from being killed, he had jumped up, set off on a run, and actually caught and jump ed aboard the Belvidere train. So far ns could be ascertained, be had not sustained the least injury. • Life-Presebving Railroad Car. —The New York Post notices, among the latest inventions, a Life-Preserving Rail Road Cur, made at Pat terson, New Jersey. It is constructed entirely of iron, of strong iron braces and girders, and of iron panel pieces, so peculiarly and ingeni ously put together, that it would seem to be impossible, by any amount of force, to bend or break it, or to do injury to It, even by rolling it down a precipice. The interior is finished off in the most elegant manner. Every panel lias _a fiuc papier-mache picture in it, representing some famous view or monument; the seats are capacious, and the ventilators are numerous ami apparently efficient. The car, owiug to the greater thinness of the ironsides, is eight inches wider than the uarrow-guage cars usually are, and weighs less by a ton than a. wooden cur of the same dimensions. This is certainly a de sideratum, for in proportion to numbers, the battle of Solferino was not more fatal in the destruction of human life, than some of the late railroad disasters. A Sewing Macuinr Millionaire's Coach.— A New \o_rk Sunday paper describes the family coach of Mr. Singer, the proprietor of the sew ing machine, as follows This gigantic family coach is capable of carrying just double the number of passengers that custom has allotted to an omnibus. It is nearly eighteen feet in length, and contains a saloon elegantly fitted up with luxuriently cushioned seats, mirrors, &c., a coupe, intended for the servants, so arranged that it can be made into nn entirely separate room, to be used as a smoking apartment, a re cess for baggage, another for dogs, guns, fishing tackle, &.c., when on sporting excursions, aud other conveniences too numerous to enumerate. The body of the coach is painted bright yellow, and the interior trimmings are of the same color. It is built in the most substantial manner, com bining the strength of the old English mail conch with the elegance and lavish recklessness ot expense that distinguishes our fashionable turn-outs, and is the invention of its owner. Fbencu Invasion of England. —The New Y N ork Post is ridiculing English fears of French invasion; even if invaded by Louis Napoleon, the editor argues that the British Lion has nothing to apprehend “An invasion would be a great calamity; the exposure of a com merce worth three hundred millions of pounds sterling a year to the hazards of wnr-would aloue be a great' calamily ; but the wooden walls of England are its numerous and impenetrable ns they were in the days of the elder Napoleon : the military resources of England are more for midable : ami the .yeomen of Englan 1 iu case of an invasion, would be invincible by any that the continent could send against them, provided that the army could be lauded, which it demon strably could not be.” From the New Orleans Vicnymie wc lenni that on the 10th ult., a melancholy accident occurred near Brandon, Miss. A Mrs. Jackson had occasion to go, during the night, to the window of the room in which, with her bus band, she had been sleeping. While engaged in arranging the blind or shutter, the husband awoke and seized the gun. supposing that some felonious intruder was in the room. Mrs. Jack son advanced toward the bed, although her hus band called out to her to stop or he should fire, and he'actually discharged his musket at her, and she at once fell dead. He then turned to the place where his wife was lying beside him, to tell her that he had killed some one, when not finding her, the truth flsshed upon him that he had shot his own wife. Juniata Co. —John I. Hart mysteriously dis appeared from his home in Tuscarnra township, about ttvo months ago, and about one week a~o intelligence was received by his friends that he had been drowned in Texas. A bundle of clothes and a carpet bag found oh the bank of the river, containing some papers revealing his name and the residence of his family, led to the discoveipt that ho had been drowned. He was at one time considered very wealthy—carrying on a very extensive farming and tanning busi ness, but owing to some misfortune he was last spring compelled to appoint assignees, and ow ing to the fact preying upon his mind, it is snp ppsed that ho was partially deranged when he loft his home. A Habd Knock.—A day or two since a couple of men were coming round a curve, on the Alle gheny Valley Railroad, in a hand car, when they saw a man on the track. They hallowed to him, but he being deaf di l not hear, and they could not stop in time. The crank struck him, and knocked- him off the track senseless. They were much frightened, think ingthat he was dead. One of them ran and filled bis oihclotb cap full of water and poured it on hjm, which tevh-ed him. He got up, rub bed himself, and hie irst words were, “Tyell that w?e a d-—-d had knock you fellows gave me. He then walked off apparently well again. _^® l^ B A*TMB.~The steamer Spend Eagle, a” t ' B(,l(^eT9 ft™ ll * Fort Randall, arrived a ” 8t - Joseph off Friday evening, from* point 850 miles above the mouth of Yellow stone.— She reports a sanguinary battle between the 22d Jalj> which re rolted Iff the loss of 28 of the former and 16 of the Jatter.

Tux Mad Stone. —We condense the following I article from the- Linn county,’ (Iowa), Stgitfir: •« The Rev. Mr. Clcghorn, of Gower’s Ferry, | Cedar county, had one of his; sons bitten by a mad- dog on the 2d inst., and alap tbehorso upon which the boy was ridjpg at tototjme.— Having seen the accouht>w))feb wast|fnbj|shcd §2 few days ago of Hie “in*d Ittme” ift sion of Mr. in hi storied wiUfdus boy horse.. ’ the stoqe wg»,;sd|lted i»;wsWi milk; and water,, and tbe&appUi&to the vtound.

Aft‘r being sabmerged lh the niilk and water again—during whiohi a green, offensive scum would arise from the atonq—it was again applied. After the fourth time it would not ad here any more, and Mr. Evans pronounced him cured. It was then applied to the wound on the horse, to which it adhered three times only. To moke sure of the matter* however, Mr. C. remained over night, and tried it again in the morning, but it would haveino effect ou either the boy -or the horse. It-seems to be a fact well attested that this stone trill’not adhere to any wound not made by a rabid animal, and if so, must confound the wisdom of the most phil osophical.” Bearing the Marks ioo-fPj.AiNLT. —A roan, claiming to.be a Milanese merchant, but sus pected as an Austrian spy, was fought before a court-martial at Brescia. He’defeuded him self coolly, though professing to have lost the papers v which would confirm his report of him self. Suddenly the colonel presiding said, — ,r Step forward ft little ! 1 cannot hear well." The man obeyed. •• My friend,” said the colonel, “youstepped with the left foot first, your arms close to your sides, and the little finger against the scam of thh pantaloon. You aro a soldier iu disguise. Wo know you now.” The poor fellow confessed. Alabama “Bull Pens.’I —It seems by the annexed, for which the Columbus (Oa.) Sun is responsible, that, there are “ Bull Pena” in Ala bama as well us South Carolina : “We understand penning Voters was exten sively practiced in the receijt election, by both pofitical parties, iu the neighboring county of Russell, over in Alabama; .«od we have heard one instance related where some voters escaped, ami were tracked up by dogs and made to come back and perform. They are. said to bo about three hundred floaters iu that county who have to be cared for this way at every election.” Death has been very busy among . the printers of New Orleans. Five of those connec ted with the Picayune alone have been carried off since November last. Iu an editorial on the subject that paper says : A But the noble senti ment of charity and brotherly fooling that ever characterizes the printers', in whatever part of the world they may be found, in some degree compensates for those lossesf and although there is no rule that calls fop such ncPon on the part of the printers, as a body, the widows' and orphans’ griefs are often assuaged by the prac tical kindness and benevolence of the friends and associates of the loved and lost.” A Big Business. —Over . one hundred car loads of wheat arrived here, yesterday on the Pittsburgh, Ft.
