On the first of Jannary IS7G the amount had increased to SI3,SG6 96. Who is to have the benefit of the nse of this sum tbe present year ? We tied no account of interest for use for the $11,003 31 of last year in the statement re cently published. What became of it? It is not properly a perquisite of the Treasur er's office. He gets a salary of s3oo.o<> and his commissions amount to SIOOO.OO making SI3OO for his services. Are the tax payers of Bedford county to pay their mouet into the county Treasury in order that the lucky Treasurer may have the use of $12,000 or $14,000 of their money without interest ? Do tbe people desire such a state of affairs? We know thev do not. They are not will ing to pay their money into the county Treasury for any person to speculate upon. We bear no ill will to either the past or tbe present county Treasurer, on tbe contrary they are our personal friends; but we are friends of the hard working taxpayers of the county and when their money i? gathered into the county Treasury it should be so invested, until used for the purpose for which it is collected, that the interest of it would accrue to the benefit of the count v and not of any single individual. We hare been advocating tbe same policy with re gard to state funds and wo believe it is th< only true and honest policy. When State or County is in debt aud has interest te pay the Treasurer never foots the bill, neither should he receive the use of, or interest on the public money, that is houpstly due to the State or County. We believe that a general law requiring all public officers hav ing the care of public money to place the supplies in designated depositories or in vest it in such other way as may brine th<- best returns to the State, is greatly needed. We had hoped that a general law ol this kind would be passed the present win ter and perhaps it may yet be passed. In the meantime may we not set a good exam ple by having a special law pasted for our own County ? More money is yet to be col lected for tbe building of the New Poor House and it may be in the hands of the Treasurer for a year or two yet; ter there is no telling when the House will be begun nor when it will be done. One thing is sure the people will hare plenty of tax to pay ; and we think they might, just as well as not. get three or four or five thousand dollar? for the interest of the money in the Treus-u' ry in the meantime. What say the tax-pav crs? A COMMON SENSE VIEW OF FREE. TRADE. Farmers generally are men of sound, prac tical, common sense. When they see one of their number buying things ho don't need, because they are cheap, and buying more than he sells, they know be is on the straight road to bankruptcy. Why don't they apply the same sound logic to the questions of free-trade aud protection ? When they see that under free-trade the na tion continually buys more than it. sells, can they not understand that it is on the road to bankruptcy the same as an individual would be? Aud when under a protective tariff we sell more than we bay can they not un derstand that tbe nation is growing rich and prosperous? A little of the common scn.-e they make use of daily in their own busi ness, if appliod to polities wonld soon make every farmer in the land an advocate of pro tection. THE TRAVELER'S FRlEN\— 'The Galaxy seems to be the first to open fire on the abuses which hotel keepers everywhere heap upon their guests. It begins by saying that "It does not seem as if a guest ha* any rights which a hotel keeper io the United States is bound to respect." It th. ti speci fies the abuses— "Nearly all hotels now gratify their visi tors by announcements that the proprietor* arc not responsible tor baggage. Some add to this that the proprietors decline respnn-i --biiity for wearing apparel left in the rooms, while, in Chicago and other towns, a furth er step is taken, and the proprietors declare themselves not responsible if the boots which the guests leave out to be cleaned should happen not to be brought back to the owners." ft suggests that to cap the climax, the hotel keeper further announce that they will no longer hold themselves responsible for the furnishing of the meals or beds ai d then perhaps he will have shirked all the unpleasant responsibilities of his position and re.-erved the pleasant one of accepting pay for all these things at the rate of about three prices for everything ho ha> declined tho responsibility of furnishing. At this juncture the guests arc prompted to recip" rocate by dccliuing to be responsible for glasses broken, meals eaten Ac. A little stirring up of this kind may do good, but hotel keepers are not very quick at taking hints, where it don't pay. RESULTS OF THE FIFTEENTH AMEN DM EXT. --The adoption of the fifteenth amendment confers the ballot upon 900,000 negroes 800,000 of whom reside in the old slavehold ing States. It revolutionizes politics in Kentucky, and probably secures for the Re publicans one. if not two. Congressional dis tricts now represented by the Democrats. With the negroes voting, Maryland stands a good chance of becoming a Republican fctate. Owing to the ill-usage they have received from the Democratic party since the latter recovered power, the Maryland blacks will, to a man, vote the Republican ticket. Their oppressors are becoming alarmed at the prospect ahead, and already arc undertaking steps to pacify aud win over the coming voters. The proposition of the Democratic Superintendent of Eduea tion, for the Legislature to vote moneys for negro schools is a step in this direction. Kentucky and Maryland polities promise to be very lively during the coming two v.-ars, and no mistake.— Ex. A CAUTION TO QUACKS.— The Senate of Pennsylvania, on the 15th iost-, passes! a bill for the regulation of the practice of medi cine in the city and county of Philadelphia, which it would be well to have passed for the whole state. It requires every prac tioner to take out license and give proof of bis being a regularly educated physician. Such a measure applied to the whole state would save thousands of people annually from being imposed upon by ignorant quacks, whose malpractice brings suffering and death to thousands, who might be alive and well if treated by intelligent physicians. We hope the Legislature will extend the act tothe whole state before its adjournment, for it is greatly needed and no act it can pass will be more generally acceptable and bene ficial. NEBRASKA and Texas have ratified the Fi feenth amendment and it is now the law of the land in spite of New York's repeal or Indiana's irregularity. PROTECTION builds manufacturing estab lishments all over the country aud makes a market for the Farmer at his own door. Free trade destroys manufactures and com pels the farmer to send his grain to Europe to find a market. The farmer can only send grain or flour to European markets and that at heavy expense; at the houicmarket crea ted by manufactures, he can sell vegetables, meat, poultry and all the produce of the farm at no expense whatever ter freights. Which is the b'-ter? INCREASE OF IMMIGRATION. —The r.um her of immigrants arriving in the United States in 1866 was 352.569, being 34,01 •> more than ever arrived in any previous year. The next highest number in any one previous vear was in 1866. when they numbered 315,- 554. From 1556 to 1869 inclusive tbe whole number arriving in the United States wa -2.918,213. In the same time the Chinese immigrants numbered 78.817 of whom 12, 874 arrived in 1869. THE Fifteenth Amendment has now been ratified by thirty states, Texas Wing the last. Three are not yet admitted, Georgia. Mississippi and Texas. The hill admitting Mississippi has passed the Senate by 50 to 11 and has been sent to the llou-e where jit will no doubt soon be passed. Congress has the ratification of the amendment in its own hands r.ow, and we have no doubt the work will soon bo cotnph ted. MEXICO is still in a state of chronic rebel lion.

A similar proceeding had t.ken place in the. same town about two weeks before. Poor Mexico! When w:Ji her troubles cease? SECRETARY Boetwell is reported to LIE opposed to the reduction of the internal revenue taxes at present and asserts that it cannot be safely done until $500,000, (XX) of the debt is funded, which he thinks can be done the present year under Sherman's funding bill. When this is done he savs we eari ifely reduce the taxes $ U.,000,000. ONE of the largest woolen trails in the United States was burned in Philadelphia on the 16th inst. 700 hands were thrown out of employment. Property to the amount of $700,000 was destroyed, on which there was an insurance ter $450,000. The thaw of last Friday, followed by rain j and snow storms, prevailed over a large ex it-nt of country.

Has been one of unusual activity in Legisla tive matters. Numerous delegations have lecn in Harrisburg to secure or defeat c.-r --t.iin measures, and the hotels and balls of the Capitol have presented a lively appear ane\ The Miners Association, from the Schuylkill region, have had a large d lega tam here, and have obtained the pa-.-age through the Senate of a bill for the better protection of miners aud the more effectual ventilation of mines, which, if it becomes a law, it is thought will prevent the possibility of a recurrence of the Avondale disa-ter. From Krie, from Johnstown, from Phila delphia and from Pittsburgh delegations have also been here during the week to look after legislation for their special localities. THE BCUUL-FINDLAV CASE, About which there has been so much di.-- euvion, has at length ci me to an end by the withdrawal of Mr. Scull from the c li test, and a majority of the committee re porting in favor of Findlay, the Democratic Senator, retaining his scat. The contest has been a singular one from its inception, and there are not found wanting those who assert that the efforts of Mr, Scull to obtain the seat were ill tempered and were by some thing beside fair means. The letter of Mr. Scull to the committee, upon his withdrawal from the contest was couched, in language con.-idered so far insulting that the com mittee refused to receive it, and the clerk was directed to return it to him. Ho claims that thecommittec was pre judged against him from the first, and Senator Brooke, the chairman, alleges that the decisions of the committee were in many instances of the most outrageous character. The -majority report was signed by the three Democratic members of the committee and Senator Ixtwrv The other three Republican mem bers will hereafter present a minority re port protesting against the rulings of the committee to which it is alleged Scull was stopped from making a fair contest. TNE BORDER CLAIMS. A bill to indemnify the citizens of certain eountie, of the sot# born b ,an iary of the State for damages received during he war is again before the Legislature, and is ob taining a more candid and favorable con sideration than horetotere. The total amnasit of the claims is some $2,700,00(1, aud the}- have icon all adjudicated and are on file in the Auditor General's office. That the people of the counties of York, Perry, Cumberland, Franklin, Adams. Fulton and Bedford suffered very revere losses at the hands of a common enemy is unquestioned. That has been admitted and recognized, and the several amounts fixed by a commission. That the failure of the Government to which they have always bean loyal to protect their property entitles them to a strong claim tor indemnity no one can doubt. In pa} ing these claims Pennsylvania will be but fol lowing the i sample she herself has here 'ufore set by paying other claims of a like character. Ohio has indemnified her ■itizens for K ,-ses sustained by Rebel raids, and Indiana has done the same. The National Government has refunded the amount to Ohio, and a bill to reimburse Indiana has passed one branch of Congress, aud will, without doubt, pass the other, [n the present shape of the claims it is al mo.-t impossible to obtain anything from the Genera! Government, but let the [state as-ume the obligation aud the preeident al ready established in regard toother States makes the reimbursment an almost absolute certainty. The justne-s of tho.-e claims is generally acknowledged, and the only way in which they will probably ever be paid will be in some such manner as is now pro to ol by the bill before the Legislature. THE STATE TREASCRY. The investigation on the part of the Senate Finance Committee into the affairs of the State Treasury still progresses, but develops nothing of a startling nature. State Trcasut-r Maekiy i.- the only witness that has yet l-een on the stand. Ilis examination has made more evident that it has been the custom of State Treasurers for years to ac commodate tin ir friends with the use of a lan e unexp< tided balance, while the de mands upon the Treasury have often been met out of the sinking fund, A bill to re gulate the management of the public money [intended to correct some of the abuses in ; the administration of the State Treasury, has passu! the Hoa-e and i now before the Senate. The salary of the State Treasurer i-i increased to £- u 0 his bond fixed a t ss'.X>,ooo, aud he is tequired to place all the public money in some bank or banks, at the be t rate of interest to be obtained, subjec 1 to call, the interest to accrue to the benefit of the State. Provision is also made for the redemption of the Stale debt by the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, mouth lv, authorizing them to i -uo circular letters notifj ing the public of the amount they are prepared to rd- cui. The subject is re ceiving a very full discussion, and the Legis lature will doublle-- agree upon some legis lation that wi;i make the public money in the Treasury of more value to the State than j un'er the present arrangement.

'1 he bill was intended especially ; tor the benefit of Dr. Paul Shceppe. Both branches of the L-gi-fatore have adjourned over the 221 of February, and will not meet again until next Wednesday. A final adjournment of the Legislature the latter part of March is confidently an ; tieipated by many. PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE. j Senate.—Hariusjh'bh, Feb. 15.—Va j r'ous local l ilt- were considered, among which was the following Senate bill, which was passed : \ Sect. 1. That no person-, either male or ' f. male, shall practice medicine, surgery or midwifery in Philadelphia without first ob taining a license for BO doing, to be obtained as hereinafter mentioned. S'Ct. o Xh _- Cl,-rkof the Coart of Quar- ! ter Se-sions f.tr Philadelphia is hereby au thoriz d and required to issue a license to practice medicine, surgery, and midwifery within Philadelphia, to any persons whit hall produce his or her diploma or other evidence of graduation by a medical college <>r school of medicine, or of any institution of learning where the practice of medicine. | -urgcry, and midwifery is regularly taught; and the s.tid clerk i- hereby required to keep a register for public in pectiun, in which -hall be entered the name and tge of the ts >u obtaining said license, and of the college or school of which the person ob- j taining a license is a graduate, arid the dat.- of the granting of said diploma, which certificate of license shall be frami d and hutig up in the office ol said person so prac i 'icing medicine, surgery, and midwifery ; aforesaid.

The Governor's veto of the bill allowing writs of error to he carried to the Supreme Court to determine evidence, etc., to affect the Schoeppe ea e was eon-idered. Mr. Josephs produced a letter from the wife of Jerry Eaton to Senator Lowry. which was read. Ir wj- an effecting e-pistle, and urged Mr. Joseph- and others to do all in their power to enable Dr. Schmppe to carry his ca.-e to ihe Supreme Court. The writei slate I that - lie did this from sympathy with tin- licensed, who might Ik; an iunocent man, as .-he knew her husband to be. At the conclusion of the letter the mem bers manifested much feeling, and the bill was immediately ra-sed over the Governor's veto by a vote of 62 yeas to 29 nays. The evening session was spent in the dis cussion of the House bill to provide safe guards against the i legal use of the State money by t ha State Treasurer. All sorts of propositions were made and all sorts of motions. There appeared to be a minority to whom the bill wa not sub-factory, and they endeavored by dilatory motions to pre vent its passage; but it was passed, however, at a late hour by 72 yeas to 5 uays. Ad journed. On the 17th, Senate bill to protect the lives of coal miners come up on second read inc. Mr. jiu kalew oScied an amendment requiring the driving of shafts (or second o[lenities to each mine) at once, with three s-ts of hands, workine twenty-four hours. 1: i- w:. . ppo-ed by Mr. Randall, but was adopted.

Mr. Council moved to amend by *ubtitu ting "two practical miners, two mining en gineers and one person not interested in coal mitiPß." Mr. Rutan proposed that the di>in teres ted person should bo appointed by the 8u prcme Court. The entire proposition of Mr. Council wa Inst—yeas 5, nays 17. Mr. Howard moved to strike out so much of the original hill as required the salarie of the inspectors to be paid by the State, and to pay them by a special tax on the pro duets of the mine*, to he collected by the county officers and paid on the warrant of the President Judge df Luzerne, This amendment was lost by 3 yeas to to 17 nays. An amendment was offered by Mr. Buck a lew, ant homing widows to maintaiu action for damages. Adopted.

The court shall make such order upon the petition of one fourth of the legal voters, and no election shall be held in any one uistriet oi'tener than once in every three years. Mr. White offered an amendment allow ing the question to be submitted to the people annually, instead of once iu three years- Mr. Roberts, of Chester, and others, pre sented petitions signed in the aggregate by about three thousand citizens, against any change in the existing license laws. The amcndmcut of Mr. 1\ bite was with drawn. Mr. Cooper offered an amendment allow ing liqu >r to lie sold in original packages in any district, iu quantities not less than one barrel. (The original bill absolutely pro • hibi'.s the sale, if the people so decide, either i by wholesale or retail, j Mr. Cooper said this was a compromise measure to protect good hotels. It diverged i the bill of its original features us au absolute ly prohibiting law, and brought the people gradually to the standard of temperance — . giving them the control of the matter. The amendment was agreed to, after Lav ing been moditied to allow ten gallons to be I sold. Mr. Porter, of York, offered an amend uient submitting to the vote of the people the question of the inordinate love of gold and glory in the same manner as the ques 'ion of intoxicating liuuora in which they .-hall he voted down. They shal' be pro hibited. (Liughter.) Ruled out of order. Mr. Porter moved to require the vote to be taken by couuties iustead of townships. Agreed to. , The bill was laid over on the third read ing. _ XLI-t CONGKESS-SFCCONIJ SESSION. SENATE. —Feb. 14th.— A number of i resolutions were offered, among which was one appropriating SSOOO lor the purchase lof an --ii painting portrait o' the late Abra ham Lincoln. Referred.

The Legislative appropriation bill was j then taken up and discussed at considerable length, hut no action taken. In the Senate on the 13th the bill to ; abolish the franking privilege was taken up j but after the expression of several opinions, ill* bill was laid aside and tin* Mississippi ! bill tak n up, but it met with the same li"* as the other, and a little alter five o'clock Senate adjourned. In the House, the resolution relative lo American Prisoners in England was taken S up, but not disjosed of, as was al-o, -he contested election question (New York Van Wyck vs. Green. A bill authorizing the payment of bounties to Persons, btld afterwards a * drafted men, being previously r joeted as volunteers wes taken up. On the 10th, Senate occupied nearly ali ! the time in discussing the Mississippi till. Nothing done yet. Iu the House, Mr. Cullorn, from the | Committee on Territoties, reported ad versely on the House bill to provide a temporary government for the Territory of Alaska, and also on a hi 1 authorizing the roust Miction of wagon roads in Aiizotia and New Mexico. The bill wits passed fixing the salaries of the Chief Justices of the Territories cf Washington, New Mexico, Utah, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming at three thousand dollars per annum. Mr. Cul'om, from the same committee, re ported the bill to aid in the execution of the laws in Utah so as to prevent and punish polygamy. During the reading of the bill the morning hour expired and the bill went over till to-morrow. The House at balf-past one o'clock, re sumed the consideration of the Greene \ an Wyck contested election case, and after eon -idcraUe debate a vote was taken on the majority report and resolution declaring Mr. Van Wyck legally elected.

The bill was then read for a third time, and on its passage Mr. Drake called for the yeas and nays, and the bill was passed by >cas 50, nays 1 i. No important h lis nor resolutions were introduced in the IIoue. \ iit Hi XI A. —The Virginia House of Dele gates his passed a resolution substantially to the eff.et that it is inadvisable to c-leet to office any per-on disqualified under the provisions of the Fourteenth amendment. It is stated that this resolution, which isi somewhat at variance with the views of the members of that body, was pushed through in respect to a suggestion in G.rv j ernor Walker's mes-age, that if di-quaii lied persons should be elected a resolution should be passed in each c isc asking Con eress to relieve such disabilities. The reso u'ion passed by the House of Delegates will be something of a damper on the aspi lations of many prominent ex Confederates, who hail expected to monop"hze a majority if the State and eounti offices after the restoration of the State to the Union. FREAK OF A CRAZY MAN. —Quite a sen -atton took place, on .Monday afternoon, at the depot of the Northwestern aud llock ford. 11 ick Island ry direc tion in the blinding snow and sleet, trying to find it or the bonne, or shelter of,-ou>e kind, at length one of th'-m tell and expired. The other then stripped off his dead broth er's clothing and covered himself with it. and alone tried to find his way back to the house; but after going on about forty rod turiher, he, too, fell, and was soon covered up with snow and ice and frozen to death. These young men were Hungarians, and j were highly respected for their probity and | good conduct. Their remains were found on j the following Monday about five miles from their bom-*, and the tra-ks which they had made showed that they had, during the prevalence of the storm, traveled over fifteen miles. A SAD STORY. A Mr. DIVWD, who lives ou \ ermillion River, about four miles' from Vermillion City, Dakota, had a family consisting of his wife ahd three children, aged respec tively 16, 8 and 6 years. The house in which he lived wa-< a poor one, and very cold, and being without much fuel, he started to visit a neighbor some forty rod distant, when the storm first began, taking the 6 years old child in his arms. His wife followed with the other two. On the way the father became separated from the mother and the other two children, and be continued on until he found his neighbor's house and went in to get warm. He waited some time, but bis wife not coming in, be started out to look for her, anil gave the alarm to his friends. Every effort was us>-d to di-cover the whereabouts of the mi-sing wife and children, but without success, until Mnndsy, the 17th, when they were found about seventy live rods from the house, frozen stiff. Thev had lost theit way, and the density of the flying snow had prevented their fin iing the house. ' A BAND OF INDIANS FROZEN. About thirty warriors of the Pawnee tribe -tartt d out from their country a week be fore the storm to fiud some buffalo, and, if in luck, get a few scalps from their old ene mies the Sioux. When out the party di vided, some going south, where they found some buffalo, and returned well loaded with meat. The others equally fortunate fell in with a party of Sioux, kiMeJ several of them, and started bat-k with about forty captured ponies. On their return, and wh -n about right mites from Lone Tree Station, tbcv were overtaken by the terrible storm of Sunday, and all perish'-1 within a day's march of their homes. The bodies of these Indians, with their own and their captured ponies, were all found lying dead together, partly covered with snow and ice, by the rutim rs who were sent out to discover their whereabouts. SNOWED IN ON TIIE RAILROAD. On account of the storm the Pullman Ho tel Express train, from San Franei-co, was twenty four hours behind time, owing to the fact that tin- telegraph poles and wires wt-re in many places blown down, and the wire prevented the trains from travelling by be coming entangled in the locomotive. Thev had plenty of provisions on board the train, so that there wa- LO suffering among the though several of the employes liad their hands, feet and ears frozen. This is without doubt the most dreadful storm ever known in the it since it was settled by the whites, and as yet no estimation can be made as to the destruction of life which - it has caused. LEOAL STATES OF REBELLION. —'The de- J vision of the Supreme C'-urt of the United . States, in the cas ■ of the United States vs. IveeJer. is an additional declaration against the pretense that the Government set up under the rebellion was a de facto one. j Keeler was a United States postmaster before the war, and owed money to the Government at the outbreak of the rebel lion. This amount he pi i over under the j order of the so called Confederate States to another per on, and now that he is sued for the balance due from him to the Post office Department, he endeavors to setup as a deli.-n-e that the net was done under the authority of the Confederate States. The Supreme Court declares that the so called authoiity was no authority; that it had not the character of a de facto government, and that Mr. Keeler "must settle." These declarations are important. If a contrary view of the case had been taken the rehel le>n might have been considered a specula tion. wliieh. to many, would have made treason profitable. POLITICAL DISABILITIES.— The Kecon -t ruction Committee has agreed to a general hill fur ihe removal of political di-abilitios, which General llutler will, at ihe proper time, report lo tl.e II ouse tor passage. It applies to all disfranchised persons, except those who have beco members of Congress I or have held commissions in the army or | navy. The whole matter is thrown into the I roiled States courts, and the form of peti j tion is embodied in the bill. The notice of ' filing of petition for removal of disabilities is to be printed in newspapers, and hearing ; is to be had thereon at. the specified time. If the court is sitisfib-d that the statements made by the applicant are true the certificate must issue, and that ends the matter.

February 15. —The Judges of the Su promts Court rendered a decision to day in tho ctusc involving the reading of the Bible in the public schools. This action was todissolveau injunction heretofore gran ted restraining the operation of the resolu tions of the School Board providing that the reading td'the Bible and all religion* instruc tion in the public schools shall not be per mitted. Judge Ilogan he'd that a provis ion of the Constitution recognized there ligon of Christianity and acknowledged that religion and morality were necessary to good government, and that the State used re gion as a means to promote good govern me,if. and therefore the exclu-ioti of ali reli gious instruction from the public schools, was contrary to the provisions of the bill of rights. Judge Siorer concurred, and 'he injunction was made perpetual JudgeTalt dissented. EVER SINCE the war the people of the counties of \>;-k, Adams, Cumberland, Franklin and Bedford, or at least, that por tion of them which suffered damage by the inva-ion of the Confederate forces, have been striving to secure the pa-sage of a bill which shad provide a remuneration for their lme-es. Yesterday Mr. Dill, ot Adam-coun ty. brought thi matter before the II >use. and asked for a suspension of the rules in order to allow of its immediate considera tion, which was refused. The amount claimed is nearly a million of dollars, which is to be secured by a State han. Forty seven members voted for the motion to take uj) the bill forthwith, which indicate consid erable strength, though it is doubtful whether it will ever pass, as it is strongly and reasonably urged that 10-ses of this kind should be made good by the general government. A CANADA paper says that, on the 13th of January, people living on the shore of St, Clair lake heard two loud reports as of cannon, immediately after which they lelt a gentle swaying of the earth, and discoveid that ice and trees and logs from the lake had been suddenly piled in a jumbled taa-s on tho shore. 'lhe waters also suddenly rose, and it was a week before they subsi ded into their ordinary boundary. No ex planation of the phenomena has been given. GENERAL MEW St ITEMS. A CINCINNATI CONFIDENCE man paid bis boar 1 fulls for several weeks by courting tho landlady, but defaulted just before the promised wedding. TRAVELERS IN Australia carrry a small syringe full of ammonia, with a sharp point, to piek a vein and inject their circulaiton in case of a snake bite. AN ILLINOIS woman, who wanted to go to a masquerade party as Mary Queen of Scots, looked through the Bible to ascertain bow the character was dressed. A SERVANT girl in Trov, in the habit of pilfering her employer's liquor, drank bug poison by mistake the other day, and, asham ed to confess her mistake, met the fate of tho bugs. A COLORED wan was found dead iu bed in Indianapolis on Friday morning. In lNfil, when a boy of sixteen, he was shot and the bullet entered near the ba*e of the nose and passed upward. The pott mortem examination shewed that it iiad lodged within a half inch of hi* skull, after passing two inches through the brain. Since the -hooting he has been afflicted with epilepsy, but has otherwse been healthy. A MEMBER of the Alabama House o' Representatives, whose seat is contested, on the Ist instant sent the Speaker a letter, iu which he said: "To morrow I am to be married, and on Saturday 1 take the boat Mobile, thence to Montgomery. 1 think it but fair, under the unusual circumstances, that I should be gtv n time to appear before the body to make my defense. Any inde cent haste on the part of the Legislature would not be creditable." PRINCE PIERRE BONAPARTE has not yet selected a lawyer to defend him. He is in a de-ponding mood, and looks forward to five years' seclusion. Hi- objection to the Supreme Court of Justice ties in the notion that the jtlry will be composed of large owners devoted to the Empire, who will sacrifice him to save his cousin. Prince Pierre enjoy,. a certain amount of populari ty in the F.iuftourg St. Antoinc in conse quence of his having married a daughter of' the people Miss EMMA WEBB is prosecuting her war against "masculine women and feminine uien' with great vigor in Californ-a. Shear gues woman's brain i-s smaller and her whole organization finer (ban man's, and in this consists all the difference; God has given her delicacy as an evidence that she is to depeud on the stronger creature, fitted to endure the shocks of life. Dependence does not imply tyranny, else the nicher may be also a tyrant over her dependent children; there is far less of this so-called tyranny of man than is reported, to lie re duced still further if the woman would de pend upon her beauty and graees to per made, instead of appealing to the sledge hammer arguments of th strong minded, or rather strong tongued women.

PL FUR PURIFYING THE BLOOD, Perhaps no one medicine is so universally re quired by everybody a= cathartic, nor was ever any be .'ore so universally adopt od into use. in every country and aoio all classes, as this mild but efficient purgative PILL. The obvious rea son is, that it is a more reliable and far more ef fectual remedy than any other. Those who have tried it, know that it cured them : those who have not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends, and ali know that what it does once it does al ways—that it never tails through any fault or neglect of its composition. We have thousands upon thousands of certificates of their remarkable cures of the following complaints, but such cuies are known in every neighborhood, and w< owed not publish them. Adapted to all ages and con | ditions in all climates : containing neither calo mel or anv deleterious drug, they may tie taken with safety by anybody. Than sugar coating I preserves them ever fresh and makes theui pleas act to take, while being purely vegetable no harm can rise from their use in any quantity. They operate by their powerful influence on the internal viscera to purify the blood and stimu late it into healthy action---remove the obstruc tions of the stomach, bowls, liver, and other or gans of the body, restoring their irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever they exist, such derangement* as arc the first origin of dis ease. Minute directions are given in the wrapper on the box, f T the following complaints, which the?e PILLS rapidly eure:—- For DYSPEPSIA or INDIGESTION, LIS T LESSNESS, LANGUOR and LOSS OF APPE TITE, they should be taken moderately to etim ulate the stomach and restore its healthy tone and actior. For LIVER COMPLAINT and iU various symptoms, BILIOUS HEADACH E, SICK HKACACIIE, JAUNDICE or GREEN SICK NESS, BILIOUS COLIC A BILIOUS FEVERS, they should be judiciou-13* taken fo- each case, to correct the diseased action or remove the obstruc tions which cause it. For DYSENTERY or DIARRHOEA, but one mild dose i* generally required. For RHEUMATISM, GOUT, GRAVEL, PAL PITATION OF THE 11EAKT, PAIN IN THE SIDE, BACK and LOINS, they should be con tinuously taken, as required, to change the dis eased action of the system. With such change those complaints disappear. For DROPSY and DROPSICAL SWELLINGS they should be taken in large aud frequent doses to produce the effect of a drastic purge. For SUPPRESSION a large dose should be ta ken as it produces the desired effect by sympathy. As a DINNER PILL, take one or two PILLS to promote digestion and relieve the stomach. An occasional d >se stimulates the stomach and bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite, and invigorates the system. Hence it is often advantageous where no serious derangement ex ists. One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a dose of these Pills makes him feel decided ly better, from their cieausing and renovating ef fect on the digestive apparatus. DR. J. C.

Faded or gray hair it toon rettored to ite original color and the gloet and frcthnest of youth.
