Correspondence of the Tribune. '
Haerisbbbo, March 27, 1660.
Either the session is drawing to
a close, or it is not drawing to a olbso, butwhe
tfaer an adjournment takes place'On the 3d. of
April, or the be extended, the business is
now being rushed through at n terrible rate—
now what was left in the early;
p.artof the session, so that it is not at nil impro- i
bable that we shall experience theusual bad ef
fects of hasty legislation. To-day a. memorial
or manifesto.from the Quakers of some of the
lower counties, and of tho State of. New Jersey,
repelling the charge of thdir being favorable to
the abolition of slavery by force of arms or vio
lence of any kind, was presented.
The Mifflin County Bank billhas •passed both
Houses over the head of, the Governor. It made;
a narrow escape in the House, and would have
been lost, only-that Mr. Dunlap, a Democratic
member from Philadelphia, was pemit|ed to
vote far the passage, of the bill, after the vote
was announced,. Whether a vote on a veto can
be .reconsidered, is a question. The Attorney
General says it done. The bill is. alto
gether a queer one, and if I can understand
it properly, thb basis of its operations* is to be
hypothecated real estate. In-other words Stone
Mountain and Jaok’e Mountain con be both put
in at so mnch on acre, in lien of cosh, for the
ultimate redemption of -thp notes!.•
In the Senate to-day, a bill was passed to a
-third reading for the erection of a nek county
out of parts of Potter, Elk, M’Kean and Glia
ton counties, to bo called Cameron. The loca
tion is principally on the Allegheny mountain,
on the line of the Sunhury and Erie Railroad,
and it Is expected that t|ie '‘county seat will be
selected, by the Company for the erection of their
workshops. As it lies in a region, abounding in
coal, iron ore and timber, it will no doubt spring
as .rapidly into existence as your own thriving
village.*
Chas. D Hlnelinc, of the Sentinel, has beenap
appointed Superintendent of Public Printing for
one .year front the first day of June next, and his
appointment has been unanimously confirmed by
the Senate. Salary $BOO per annum, Quito a
nice little income, seeing as how it does not in- ‘
ferfere with a man’s usuul occupation.

This is by no means a bill calculated to give
the Company any relief; it visually only puts
off the evil- day., I think before the week is but
a determined effort will he made to pass the
supplement, whitffl originated ip '.the .
. The hew Insurance bill was killed in the Sen
ate pn Saturday, by a vote of 20 to 0. Senator
Hall miule* a powerful speech in bcliair of the

to make any impression. ■

pissed the House undei the laah. ttTid ia likety
to- pass the Senate. It is the only street of
importance in the city bn which rails orp dotal
ready laid. "
, In the Senate to-day an effort was made to
reconsider the vote relative to ; tbe final adjodrn
meat, bttt failed by fiearly a two-third vote.—r
The latter vote was .re-considoree, and the votp
to reconsider was postponed 1 indefinitely. This
places a reconsideration out of the reach of the
| Senate, and if the session . is extended, it mus|
be done by a consideration - originating in the
House. After the above was written, and just
at the close of the afternoon session in the
House, a motion was made to make the Sunhury
and Erie supplement the special order for to
morrow morning which was lost—yeas 45, nays
52. A motion was then made to make it the
! special order for to-morrow evening, which was
i also lost—yeas 46, nays 51. I think there will
; be some trouble in getting the bill called up,
although Gils vote does hot effectually kill it.

Conemaugh towrship, Indiana county, five per
son vm: David King and his two daughters,
wb.oac christiuti.naaics we have out learned ; the
wife cf Samuel King, son of David, and a Miss
Waddle, entered a-skiff or small cruft to cross
■the Conemaugh river, iu going to a singing
school on the opposite side. It appears that the
river yas pretty full, and the navigators did not
use the necessary precaution of sitting down,
closely to ; -the‘craft, and when the wind beat on
their bodies and the craft caught the current in
the rivet, it was upset, and all the five precious
souls cash into, the muddy waters of the jCohc
ninugh. It appears that William Waddle, father
-of Miss Waddle, saw the frail upset, or saw the
result fit its upsetting and ran and waded 'in
with a pole, extending it to Lis daughter; who
appeared to be nearest him, and thought she
had caught it, but a Miss and her appear
ed to be clinging together, and neither were be
nefitted by his efforts. Mr. King is said to have
been a good swimmer, and it is believed that tho
other two unfortunately clung to bin), and pre
vented his own safety, as well as any further ef
forts on their behalf. All five are lost.—Bhirt

nacea for ail external Wounds, Cuts, Swellings, Sprnirs,
Bruises, or Eruptions on Stan or Beast. It is so fora med
icine of surprising virtue that Physicians.are compelied-to
prescribe it, imd Bom sonic remarkable cures of Chronic

much atteutiun from the first scientific minds ofthe age.—
