Alluding to the election contest in the Sixteenth Congressional district, the Somer ett Democrat says : The testimony ia now closed on both sides, as the time allotted by law for that purpose has expired. We are well satisfied with the result. The meager majority of fifteen for Air. Meyers will Le swelled to at least three hundred after the committee rejects all the illegal votes proven cn both aides. This is patent to every one at all converant with the facts. Cessna's On yesterday week Gov. Geary vetoed tLe till known as the Supplement to the act establishing the District Court of Cam biia county. The Veto Message will be found below. It will be seen from the last paragraph of the message that the Governor earnestly recommend the repeal by the Leg islature of the original law establishing the District Court, which was passed on the 13th of April, 1809. This is conclusive evidence that he will not appoint any Judges to hold that Court. The Cuurt is therefore absolute ly abolished, and all judicial proceedings in this county must hereafter bo commenced at Ebenbburg. Exfcutive Chamber, Uarris-buug, Feb. 17, 1871.

From a private letter leceived more than a week ago from a Cambria county friend and a brother typo one of our earliest pu pila we take the liberty of making the fol lowing excerpts, believiDg they will prove not without interest' to many readers: Los A.vuilks, Cal., Jan. 31, lfc"l. My Dear IIeskt Since my last letter to you I have had a nice little combat with the typhoid fever, which, by the way, came uncomfortably near coming out "first best." In fact, I was given ur by my phvsieian as a "gone in community." But, thanks to an excellent constitution and such care 89 0110 can get only at home, I weathered the storm. It lasted me in all about lour months. "What added to the unconifottab'e ness of the situation was. that my wife had the intermittent fever, at the same time. When we recovered froas that, we uudertook to run the chills aud fever a trip, and haven't got through with the contract yet. The indications are, that we are going to have a "dry wit. ter" this jear, as but very lit tle rain has yet fallen, and the end of the rainy season is near at hand. If that shall prore to be the case, the bottom has "drapped" out of this portion of "the finest couutry iu tlie world," for two or three years to come, sure.

Although, us a genera! thing, we arc a law abiding community here, we have now a reg ularly organized Vigilance Committee, feo many criminals have beeu cleaieJ here within 1 ho past year, through the sheer ignorance of juries, and their incapacity for that duty, that it at last became absoiu:e!y necessary lor re spectable citizens to protect ibemsel test Tlie first act of the Vigilantes was to ;orm iu miii lary oriScr, about iOO strong, all fully armed, and march to the j.til in which was confined a juan name!

Evciy thing goes to show that we will lr.xy a warm contest in this Stale at the next gen eral election. Had the hist been any closer than it was. it would have been uncomfoita blyclore. Thus fac 1 have heard of cidv fourteen candidates on our side for Govornor. It is really surprising to find we hare so man public spirited men who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the good of the "dear people " Of course to them the emoluments are nothing oh, no, "not by 110 means."

The rebuke he adminis tered to tiovei u :ucnt (iraiu on .Military inter ference with elections, was well merited, I think. Uy the way, John Y in early days, figured to a considerable extent in California politics. Iu he ftijl lour others ran fr Governor, aud he received 1,213 votes, while the others had from 4,31)0 to li,l)0d Burnet being the successful candidate. After being defeated, Geary ran for the United States benate, and wa3 triumphantly elected to stiy at home. A Remakkadle Miracle. We clip the following from a recent uumber of the Phil adelphia iiguiVer: A really wonderful incident has lately oc curred at Soriano, in Calabria, or to speak more correctly, it occurred tome little time ago, and has only just beeu made public. A full acccunt of it will be found in a circu lar letter by the Very Rev. Father A. Vin. rent Jandel, General cf the Domincau Order, 1 addressed from Rome to all the provincials of his orderj and quoted in the labut ol last week. Ttere is at Soriano a celebrated sanctuary of St. Dominic, aud iu the church an ancient image of that saint, the size of life, carved in wood, and held in high ven eration both for the oriiiin attributed to it i and the 'graces so frequently obtained for its j votaries. It seems that the 15th of Septem I ber last, which was its feast, thirty persons who had remained in the church to pray before this old image suddenly perceived it to move as if alive. Tho image came for ward and then retreated, raised and loweied its right arm alternately, contracted its brow, accompanying this expression with gestures, now of indignation, now of giief, as it looked at the persons present, turning occasioally toward the image of the Virgiu of the Holy Rosary, when its countenance would assume a sweet and reverential aspect; in bbort, dsmeauing itself as pieachers are wont to do when addresr-ing a congregation. St. Dominie himself was pleaching once more on earth iu his image. "What were the feeliugs of the beholders, says the Tablet, "may be imagined." The g-jod people ol Soriano first Linked at each other, then at the iiaaje, and the cry of "St. Dcminic ! St. Domiuici a miracle! a miracle!" burst from every lip. The wonderful news spread like lightning through the town. Every body left their occupation to crowd the sanctuary ; and sjou no less than 2000 pei had the pleasure t f witnessing the image's perfoi manccs, which lasted about au hour and a half, amid the prayers, tears and ac clamations of the people, who afterwards carried the imf.yo around the town in pro cession. Father Jandel accounts for the de lay that has occuired in publishing this mar velous occurrence by stating that it was necessary first to obtain the authority of the bishop of the diocese, which is that of Mileto. This ha3 now been received, aud further concealment is no longer Decessary. Thirty "intelligent and respectable eye witnesses" have sworn to the truth of the story, and a large number more are prepared to swear also to the same effect if required to do so. The Heroic Engineer. David Simmons was the engineer cf the Pacific express train. He was a true in tti. For twenty years he held a place on an engine. Years ajro,' whilo dashing past Yonkers, Simmons called the attention, of fireman to a train that was sweeping do.vn upwu them like the wind. A collision seemed inevitable. The fright ened fireman shouted, "Good-bye, Doc; I'm going to jump, and sprang fiom the locomotive. Simmons stood with his hand upon the throttle of his engine like a man of Iron. In lha fice of btaitling peril he re membered his duty, and stood at his post. A collision was averted.' and tho heroic eu gineer saved the lives of a hundred men. Oa Monday night David S tmmons was driving his engine toward Albany at the rate of forty miles an hour. Near 2kv Ham burg a tel light was swung out as from an approaching train. The engineer saw it. 1c was the signal of danger. David Sim mons whistled down brakta ia the vain hope of stopping the expreas in time. His fire man again took the alarm, aud shouted to Simmons to leap for life. The noble Sim mons calmly answered, "I won't ; I'll stay with my engine." Again he stood like a man of iron at his post. The fireman sprang und saved his life. The ergineer saw a train on the bridge. He realized that his only hope of safety was to dash through the obstruction. He whistled off the brakes, and crowded on all of his steam. This was the woik of an instant. Simmons peered into the darkness, shading his eyes with his hand, anil was dashed into the jaws of death. David Simmons was a hero. His fate is sad ; but his r. ible behavior is ths ouly bright pago in the dark hiatorv of the awful accident at New Hamburg. A'. 1. Sun. Forty Dats Fast. The bishops of the various Catholic dioceses have issued pasto ral instructions for the penitential observ ance of the holy season of Lent. They are generally alike with a few unimportant ex ceptions. The publication of the rules de note the hierarchical authority, while tho obedience of the congregations gives evidence of the universality of that powerful boud, the unity of faith, which links the Catholics of the world to the clergy and binds them to the altar in every clime. Ash Wednesday inaugurates the lenten season, which extends to Easter. Lnt is said to have been instituted by pope Teles phorus, 130. The early christians did not commence their Lent until Sunday, which is now called the first Suuday in Leut, and the four days beginning with Ash Wednes day were added by Pope Felix III in the year 487, in order that the number of fasting days.should amount to forty. Lent was first observed iu England by command of Ercom bert. king of Kent, iu G10 or 641. The eat ing of meat was prohibited during Lent, but Hrory VIII permitted the use of white rmats by a pProclamation in 1213. which continued in force until, by proclamation ol dames 1 in 1610 and 1C25, and by Charles I in 1G27 and 1601, llesh was again wholly Lrbidden.
