The Constitutional Convention is now in session in this city, and although its sessions are held in a Presbyterian church (Old School,) yet this pious fact does not prevent members froraengaging in ways Harare sinful.' On Thursday night last - otfe of the lending members of the Con vention started out with seven hundred dollars in his pockets, and soon after meet ing with a late member of the Legislature, a present metriber, and the custodian of the cash required to pay interest oh the public debt of the city* the four engaged in a game of “Poker.” They stopped only when the “boys” had “cleaned ont” the delegate of all but $7.00 of his cash. With ibis and with a quantity of whisky with in him, that if “tax paid” would make a perceptible reduction of the public debt, the delegate started for the home of his father in-law, where his young, handsome and wealthy wife is stopping. Just how to cheat his wife into the belief that he was entirely sober, was what most concerned the man who is to give us a revised Constitution, In detailing the manner in which he did it the delegate said: “My wife and I occupy two adjoin ing rooms at her father’s, a parlor and i bed room. About 8 o’clock I managed to gel to the; parlor adjoining opr bed room. To show the madam I was sober, I made a desperate effort to light the gas. After striking about twenty matches on the wrong end, I was about to give up in de spair, when by accident I got one by the right end, and got up a light. The next thing in order was to complacently take a smoke. By scattering a paper of tobacco over the floor I managed to get enough into my pipe to get up a smoke. After smoking awhile I concluded to see if my wife was asleep, and so stole quietly to bed; found all quiet, and made up my mind she slept soundly. Went back and smok ed c some more. Getting very hungry I de termined I must either have a drink of whisky or go to bed. Chose the latter; but in order to see if the madam was really sound asleep, I turned on the gas fa!] head, and went to the bed and found it empty, and that I had been making a, fool of myself, trying for one hour to sat isfy an empty bed that T was not drunk. At 5 o’clock, feeling the need of refresh ment,.! wandered out in search of a gin cocktail. Found the hotels all closed, and kept on wandering until 1 got out by the Schuylkill [this delegate might be ju«ily called a Schuylkill Ranger,] where 1 found a Hibernian opening" his whisky mill. I asked him could he make me a gin cocktail. ‘I kin, zur,’ he replied. I went in, and a gin cocktail was made for me. How much is it, my friend ?’ I ask- j cd, after I bad thrown myself around it. j ‘Foive cents, zur,’ he answered. ‘Then, | by heavens, I’m poisoned,’ ejaculated this C institutional delegate, However, it did not poison me, and after taking two or three more, I went to Augustine’s to get aJt icate breakfast. Told the-waiter to hr e; me a quail, make me a cup of tea sume buttered toast, with a sliced to c--' All these were brought In me, and j 5 ■■ looking at them for a moment or i :it I concluded that what I wanted was j sen cocktail.

Miller on Friday eveningin the CourtJJopse, on the subject of the “Relations* pf Woman to Moral Reforms- with special referent to Temperance," was a decided success, both as regards the lecture Itself, and the audience assembled to hear It. The meth ods of the lecturer were analytical and in ductive, and he developed his subject with a skillful hand; The Professor took for granted that natural fitness determined the line of duty, and proceeded to show that woman possessed pre-eminently the moral forces of society, and man the ma ; terial, and that these natural differences were indicative of their separate spheres of activity. Man was the tamer of na ture, the subduer of physical forces, the creator of wealth; but'woman, with her fine and superior organization, was the reformer, the refiner, the beautjfier of so ciety. Her presence assuages the angry passions of men, improves their man ners, elevates their sentiments and envel ops their material life with a moral at mosphere. She has accomplished this in some degree in the family, in the church; but in a republic the fall power of her moral influences can never be realized until she is clothed with the responsibili ty of the ballot. Then she. can and will by force of circumstances be compelled to move forward in mission, and then and only we hope to see accomplished the great informs of the age. The lecturer advanced sqme very radical but in d servative Community they we?fr weif^ rence were students there for some con s|derable^ime.

The Bellefohte Republican , which was suspended December 4, 1872, reappears under new auspices, having Edward T. Tuten editor, and Robert P, Tuten pub lisher, both of whom are proprietors. The new management promises to make it a lively apd sterling Republican paper. Economy in Coal . —The most prac tical suggestion yet made toward econo omy in coal, seems to be the use of solid bottoms in fire grates. It i s asserted, and indeed proved, that in any fire not exces* sively small, a plate of iron placed upon the grate will save the consumption of coal, reduce the smoke, and leave a cheerful, free burning fire. Quite suffi* cient air enters through the bars, no pok ing is necessary, and the fire never goes out till the consumed. Any householder can try this experiment, and ruduce bis coal bill, say thirty per cent., at cost of a shilling. The week of prayer was observed in our churches last week.

Daugherty* Esq., being requested to present his Views, com plied in some welf-timed and able re marks.

Smith Curtis, Esq., assuVed the gentlemen present that The Radical would occupy advanced ground in favor ofprohibition during thecampaign, and proffered thevuse of its columns to the friends of the movement. Similar assur ances were made by a gentleman present, Argus. J. H. McCreery, Esq., stated from Sam. B. Wilson, Esq., who was prevented, by unexpected business, from attending the | meeting, that no earnest and vigorous ef fort to wipe out the license system should I lack his co-operation, and that he fully sympathized with the purposes of the meeting. Farther remarks were made by John Caughey, Esq., and others; On motion, a committee consisting of Messrs. Wickham, Daugherty, M.
