Tlic KSappy Family.
The Radicals of Cambria cotraty strs, at
the time of tlo prertftf writlDg, cerlaiu'y a
"Happy Family." We mean no ironical
use of the term. Compared with the past,
thir situation is one in which thoy may
well iudu'go their complacency; and we
must not grudge it to them.
In 1854, when Know-Xothingism carried
the day, they elected the member of the
Legislature. In 18G0, when the Democrats
uudeitook to elect three members, thoy were
all dofeated and a Radical returned. But,
with these two excplicn, ccr Radical
friends hare had a long dry spell of it, to
far as the representation of CaruLria county
i concerned. Isoxo, thanks to Democrats
who took another '-New Departure," and to
ths money influence, thay have Ham ember
from Cambria couuty. Mr. Henry, too, is
one whom they need not ftar, fir, though he
represents a constituency of more than
ssveu hundred Democratic Totes, he will
never cast a ballot for his constituents of
that pclilioal stripe We admire him for
it. lie sticks to the principles (or the want
of principles) of his party, and he la Radical
ly right !n doing so. Our only pity is for
those Democrats who allowed themselves to
be sold or bought lu voting for him.
The Radical family ia happy In this; but
this is not all. Thoir mighty leaders in this
county have formed a league, effansive and
defensive, and are now a unit. The Lion of
Besiemer Steel and the Lamb of Shook have
lain down together, and the child of Lloyd
& Co. C3rr lead them by a hair. Though
both are Maineiacs, there Is method in their
madness. In other words, both being Immi
grants from Maine, they both look out for
the main chance! Morrell, his declination
to the contrary notwithstanding, is Guber
natorial, while Barker ia in ditfgant search
of that second Congressional term of hfsj and
while the former holds the southern metrop
olis In the hollow of his powerful hand, the
latter has the ancient village and the north-
em territory under the solo of his ponderous
foot.
The happy union cf these two1 colorscl m
tellects has diffused a feeling of Intense joy
all over the Radical Israel, and all the hew
ers of wood and drawers of Iron Bay Amen !
A family thus successful thus united
thus powerful should be happy. And it Is
happy i
To enhance thia happiness, Mackey wHt
be re-elocted State Traaaurer and Samuel
Henry's voto will help to do it. Tho $2.-.
000,000 of the people's money will again be
divided among the Banks. Lloyd & Co.
will again get their $G0,0C0, to be again
f.aed, as far aa necessary, to- "brieg ens the
vote" or, as was done last fall, to reward
those Dsmocrats who were too honest to vote
for Mr. Rose. This fund will keep tho Rad
icals of Cambria county in a state of tht'most
blissful happiness. Then Samuel Henry
will be re-nominated for the Legislature, A.
A. Barker for Cengrees, and Daniel J. Mor.
rell for Governor I
G-rami Tableau f Let us contemplate the
picture, and then not complain of Radical
happiness !
The caudiJate for Congress Is reprsssLted
by a massive pillar upon an enormous pedes
tal at its foot a pail of cold water, with
something like ginger mixed with it. His
left hand rests on a "shook."" and a scroll ra
his right hand bears "Total Abstinence"
emblasoned upon it.
The Governor is represented by a pillar
like unto tho former at Its base a rqiiare
willow basket labelled "Green Seal Cham
paign ;" his right hand grasps a bar of Bos
seaior steel, while in his loft he holds a 'Fas3
Book."
The Assemblyman' is a ccpld resting upon
and holding theso columns together whioh,
by the way, seems a difficult task. On the
right wing of tho cupld is a safe ; on its left
a demijohn. In tho right hand is a card,
'Mackey, Troasurer;." in tho loft a large
roll of greenbacks.
Now, it is true that Democrats are dis
posed to smash graven images, not beiug
addicted to man-worship. Iodeod, if they
liavB a-fault, it uan over amount of jaalouy
towards each- ether. Il'enee, to them a struc
ture like tho foregoing Blight not be very
attractive.
But not so our Radical brethren-. They
hang around greatness, when it is cf the
right kind ! They cling to their idols with
more than Eastern devotion. Hence they
will cling to thesa mighty pillars of their
political fabric They will grow up and en
twine themselves arouud this pair of Yan
kee colnmns until they reach the Pennsylva
nia greenbacks and whisky by which they
are surmounted. The very idea cf a cupid
at the apex of the columns EBggssts cupid
ity. And then all can ba" accommodated on a
question about which Radicals do differ some
what. On the one hand, (or, rather on the
one foot, J is the total abstiuenco principle;
on the other the exhilerating nectar cf high
toned gentlemen sparkling wine : while, if
they wish to get "high," the whisky tops
the columns. So every Radical worshipper
can exercise 14s own "local option.'"
"These be tby Gods, oh;Radleals !"
Thb Huntingdon Monitor says : The Iiol
lldaysburg Register admits, in its last issue,
that "Hon. R. M. Spcer, tho member from
this district, has, thus far, made a faithful
member, careful cf the interests of his con
lititaents.,, We cannot but admire Bro.
Over's truthfulness and thank him for the
candid oonfeseion. Our "word for it. Mr.
Sprer will ever prove faithful a-l "cartfui
of the interests of' hi3 constituents."'

A Radical Outrage.
At the last October election, tho candi
dates for assembly in Warren county were
Luther Green, Democrat, and William II.
Short, Radical. Whea the Return Judges
met at the tirao and place designated by
!aw, ami the vote of the different election
districts was counted up, it appeared that
Green had received 1,893 votes, and Short
1,878, making Green's majority IS. A cer
tificate of election was accordingly made out,
signed by the Return Judges and delivered
to Luther Green. Some time afterwards, wo
do not know how long, opon an allegation
that a mistake had been made in tho actual
Vote received by Short, tho Judges, cr at
least the greater number cf them, met a
scco?ul time and in some way ascertained
that Short had received 1,003 votes, being
ten votes more than were polled for Greed.
They then made out another certificate iu
which they declared that William II. Short
had been elected. Upon this brief statement
cf the facts in the case, the question arises,
who was entitle! pri?7ia fade to be sworn in
as the member from Warren county 7 Most
unquestionably Luther Green, for the plain
and ebviou3 reason that the certificate of
election held by him was made out and
signed on the day rpecified in the Act cf As
sembly fur that duty to be performed. Any
other certificate sid'sequently manufactured,
although it may have been signed by the
very same men who attached their signatures
to the first one, was in clear violatcn of the
Act of Assembly without a shadow of val
Hity and absolutely void. If an error had
been committed in any of the election returns
to the prejudice of Short, the law afforded
hlra an aruplo and complete remedy by con
testing Green's right to bis Boat after be had
bsen admitted.
"Whim the Return judges of a county have
met, performed their datits and adjourned,
their official existence terminates, and their
re-assembling for any conceivable purpose
whatever 13 a mere farce. But such was not
the opinion of the radical majority of the
House of Representatives at Ilarrisburg.
They refused to permit Mr. Green to be
sworn in as a rnembur, and lefarred the case
to a packed committed of five, who of course
promptly reported in favor of Short. The
report was adopted by a solid radical vote
and We. II. Short took his seat. No more
Sagrant outrage has been perpetrated since
the days when Democrats were unceremo
niously kicked out of CoDgrsss without a
why or a whereforo, by an insolent Radical
majority submissive to the vigorous and un
sparing lash of Thaddeus Stevens. JJo ex
cuss has bees cr can be cfwred for it. It is
against all prscedent and in shameless lo
lation of all law. An arrogant majority
tramples upon the plain requirements of the
law and invests a man with the powers cf a
legislator on a legjts certificate poss?ssing no
more legal force than an Internal revenue
lager beer stamp. If any one id anxlou3 to
know how Samuel Ilonry, the member from
Cambria, voted on this question, we answer
that he was true to his paTty and stood raan.
fully up to the work ef excluding Luther
Green from Ms seat, notwithstanding the
fact that the certificate which Tie presented
was as valid and legal as that held by any
other member of the House. Mr. Henry
believes in the doctrine that a Democrat has
no rights which a Radical majority is bound
to respect.
On the first day of the presont ssssion of
the Legislature, that pure and immaculate
Democrat, Sam. Josephs, the Cato of the
House, offered his usual resolution directing
the Clerk to furbish' each member with a
copy of Turdon'd Digest, Beitol's Digest and
Z-igler'a Manual. The resolution was of
course adopted, and will cost the treasury
about $1,500. Aa Josephs has been a mem
ber for about ten ycar3, he has a good!' sup
ply of these interesting works, unless ho has
disposed of them at a discount bolow the
prico they cost tho Stato, which ho has no
dwubt done, for it is his peculiar specialty
always to be on the make. Why should the
State bo required to farnisli annually oco
huudrsd copies of l'urdon for the members
of the House and permit them to take them
home them with at the termination cf each
ses&ion at a part of their legislative plunder?
A copy of that book wiil last for twenty
years, and the practice ought to be to require
each member to return his copy at the end
of the session, or, in default of doibg so, to
deduct its cost out cf his salary. It is by
ju-st such extravagance as this in couutless
different shapes, that tho aggregate expenses
cf tho Legislature are swollen to such an
enormous amount. Speaking of this model
legislator, Sam. Josephs-, reminds us that as
a member of the committee he signed the
report by which Green of Warren county
was swindled out.'.of his seat thus adding
another to the losg list of his (Joseph's)
legislative infamies.

Dear Mac My last left toy cousin Ma
rion and myself on Derry Castle, admiring
the rare scenic tableau spread before us like
one of those fairy, fancypainted landscapes
we read of in novels. We descended as well
as we cotild and effado for "homo," passing
en our way the splendid residence of Win.
Spaight, Esq., J. P. I have not seen a
grander or more costly private residenco
since I came to this country. I was told that
it cost to build it upwards of forty thousand
pounds, cr about two hundred thousand dol
lais. JIow is that for high? Arriving at
Marion's hospitable homo, I fouud a wholo
bevy cf hcart-Bniashing, rosy-cheoke d, raby
lippedj bright-eyed fair ones, accompanied
by some respectable-looking gents. After
being introduced to all as "My cousin from
America," a recherche supper was laid before
us. Having done full justice to the eatables
and drinkables, we were shown into a richly
furnished room, wheru soon after wo went
through all the manoeuvres of theTerpsicho
rean ait. Beforo wo "trip on the light fan
tastic toe,' I wiil sketch some of the jolly
fair ones who were the life of that evening's
pleasure. So,,Monsieur Mac,
rLACE AITX DAME3.
"Make Wzy for the ladies." At the piano
sat the beaming-eyed, swan-necked, talented
Georgina, whoso fairyMike fingers seemed to
impart an additional charm and harmony to
the sweet-toned instrument. On my right
was tho affectionate, gentle, trailing, dimple
cheeked Marion, whose animated cOuversa
tional powers proved her to be possessed of
rare talent, Kext her sat pretty little Maud,
with rosy cheeks, coal black eyes, and sweet,
tempting lips. On my loft was the smiling,
beguiling, bewitching, merry Madaline,
whoso large, mischievous, heart-levelling,
musical dark-blue nycs were mora than saf
ficieut to lay prostrate a whole army in the
ranks of Cupid. Next her sat the uprightly,
dashing, love-making Cessio Lavinla, with
lustrous eyes and pouting lips. My vis a
ris was the good humoied Aileen, round
whoso pretty mouth smiles loved to play,
and iu whose tall, symmetrical portraiture
nature may well lay claim to perfection.
Near her eat the confiding, agreeable, lond
langhing Rosamond, whooo merry ringing
laugh, like the swelling notes of sweet music,
betokened a light, joyous heaft. It would
be an endiesa task were I to sketch in detail
all tho captivating charmers who shed a halo
of lustre, beauty and merriment around that
festive board. Add to all this a room on
whoso walls were hung life-like portraits of
Ireland's ancient warriors and modern heroes,
and then you may have a faint idea of this
fair, social gathering of Irish ba'uty. After
the other gents and myself had epuu tho
gay "gals" in the prancing polks, the wild
walt2 and the gay gallop, we rested a little,
dciiug which we had some splendid vocal
music. A thrill of delight ran through my
very srul when the musical-eyed Madeline
warbled fjrth, in a gushing, soft, rich, mel
niuous voice, "She ij far from the land
where hrr youcg hero sleeps." If the de
part?d f pirita of the nobia Emm.tt and lovely
Sarah Curran could but catch the dnlcid
echo cf tho soft strains, as thoy wafted, like
silvery music, it would prove that their
memory I3 cherished by Tipperary 'b fair
da'.ightera. Marion, in her own rich, sweet
voice, sang,
".Rich and rare wore the (rem"! she wore,
And a hriyiit jfold rio on her wand she bore;
l!ut, ah I Lor beauty was fur beyoud
Her spark lin trems aud her snow whito
wand."
Thk exquisite song brought us back to
the r&iga of Born, wLen tradition and histo
ry tell us that a beautiful, lady, with gold
galore, could travel over Ireland, with no
prottction bnt a frail wand, and would not
ba molested. The lively little Maud, to
compliment me, ave us "The Sword of
liunker Hill," and indeed right admirably
did she render it. The beautiful Goorgina,
the gay Rosamond, the rollicking Aileen,
and all the other handsome fair ones, vied
with each other in. Irish minstrelsy. A word
now for the gents. One gentleman, a Mr.
Flash, who was dressed up In the pink of
fashioD, treated 11a to a medley, which he
commenced with
'Oh, say would you find this same Blarney?
There's a castle not far from KlUarney ;
On tho top of the wall
Hut take eare you don't fall
Thore's a stone that contains all this Blaraejv
iof t is his colleen's sunny eye t
Her mien is mild, her stop is airy ;
Her heart n fond, her soul is hi-li ;
Oh ! she's the Pride of Tipeiui y."
The next was a bizarroilooking gent who
luxuriated in the name of Mortimor Peter
Multooney, who made all the apologies pos
sible that he couid not sing, but ho would
try and recito. lie stood up, and placing
one foot about three yards, more or loss, iu
advance of tho other, he declaimed, the
"Downfall of Poland." This eouUitirring
piece seemed to givt him new courage, when
he next gave us the "Exile ef Erin" in the
vernacular. Here is one verse from memory,
but I will net vouch for the spoiling :
"T)u haniif cum na taolde, Dibreach, O ! Krinn;
A lea hujrh, O! uu epaor, ujfus a euduffh, Ol
ud ar ;
- Bu scustur "
But bold, 1 caurt do it, fof my pen kicks and
splutters. The other geuta sang some old
Irish melodies and modern American airs.
I was completely nonplussed when it came
t my turn, as 1 never learned a whole song
in my life, but fortunately I picked up one
verse of "Young America to Old Ireland,"
which I thought would be appropriate on
such an oecasion. Hero it is :
"Should Ireland raise the standard Green',
Henolved to free tho laud,'
She'll lind that Voting- America
Will lend a heliHng- hand.
Aye, men and money we will give
The British to o'erthrow.
For the deeds of Young- America
The world does surely know."
This was applauded to the echo, not for
the singing, but for the sentiment ; so you
bet I was glad to get oiT so easily, and con
tinue my "soft talk" to Maud an& Bessie
Lavinia. A killingly dressed gent named
Mr. Cowand next favored us with the "Maids
of Merry Ireland" and the "Lass of Rich
mond Hill." I made this gent a little ner
vous by engaging too much the attention of
his Bessie Lavinia, about whom be was aw
fully spooney. I could see him casting Borne
fierce looks at me, and heard him mutter,
sotlo voce, "Yankee impudence," etc. The
singing over, Georgina and Marion delighted
us with some fine old martial tunes u the
piano, but the one that pleasod me most
was the soul-thrilling "Brian Boru's March."
This soul enchanting piece of Irish music, as
it vibrated, like syren music, on tho stilly
air, was sufficient to call forth the spirits of
Boru and his dauntless Dalcassians and
make them exterminate now, not the DaDos,
but the cruelly-oppressive Anglo-Saxons.
So lively, bold and stirriog is the grand old
"March," that it would almost make a one
legged gossoon dance with delight. StraDge
that I never heard thia played in America.
I will try and get the music ef it before I re
turn. It was long past the "wee Etna' hour
ancnt the twa''" when our social gathering
dispersed. I did the gallant to two of the
prettiest by seeing them home, but. ma foi,
it was near giving me a sore head, as Mr.
Cowand thought I had too much impudence
for a stranger. After quoting some heart
appealing, brain-softening lines, I parted
with B. and G. and returned to Marion's
where I boo a retirod to rest, only to drsatn
cf sparkling eyes, "auburn trecs uncon
trolled," a scowling rival, and a full-rigged
ehip bearing tr.ysolf and B. L. over the
foaming Atlantic"; but the morning knocked
sky-high my Morpheus-spun fancy.
The next day, Marion, Maud. Georgina
and myself set ont for a drive along. the side
of Lochtea hill. I took hold of the ribbons
and drove along rather slowly. I saw ap
proach us a clergyman driving along at fair
speed. I drove according to the American
custom by pulling to the right, whon, ac
cording to this country style, I thou'd have
pulled to the left. The priest raised his
baud, which, Iundersood afterwards, meant
that h9 wanted me to keep the proper sid3.
Mai ion Says to me. "Don't you see the priost
beckoning to you?" Said . "Yes, but ho is
only givicg Maud and 1 his blessing." We
had not gone very far when a tumbling epi
sode occurred. I was engaged iu whispuriug
"soft nonsense" into Maud'u ectr, and enrap
tured with the beauty of the scene which
rose before u3 at every f-tcp we advanced. I
did not mii:d how the "boss" jogged, till
bang went the wheel against the side cf the
hill, sending t;s all topsy-turvy, sprawling
on our fall langths. Tho ladies screamed
aud "hollered," but were not hart. I was
sent spinning over a three-foot wall, jamming
my "head and shoiddcrs" right up through
my polished "stove-pipe." As soon as we
picked oUreelves up and compared notes, We
found that we had all escaped without any
bruised bones. Marion's Dublin trimmed
bonnet was made as fiat as a pan cake ;
Gtorgiiia's molre-antique silk dress and Grecian-bend
were rent most fearfully, while
little Maud only had her Lama-skin cloak
slightly stained.. We had to make a hasty
retreat back to Marion's, where I will stop
t il my r.ext, whon I will describe all points
between Derry Castle and this lively old
towu. If yen give this in full, please to
send the Freeman to tho enclosed addresess,
as I promised them that I would sead an ac
count of my j-'dly adventures to an American
newspaper. Wishing yourself, lady and
family, and all jai d up subscribers to your
paper, a thousand merry Christmases and
fivo thousand happy New Years, I remain,
my clear Mac,
Yoftrs, very truly, Euionacii.
The Assassination of Col. Fisk,
On Saturday afternoon last, Colonel James
Fisk, Jr., was shot iu the Grand Central
Hotel, Broadway, New York, by Mr. Edwin
S. Stokes. Three shots were firtd by the
assassin. The first lodged in Fisk'a shoulder,
tho second whistled closo to his head, and
the third took effact in his abdomen. From
the latter wound, Mr. Fisk died at about
6l6veu o'clock on Sunday morning. The
assastiu was promptly arrested and confined
in the Toombs. The shooting caused a pro
found sensation throughout the city, and fears
were entertained that the prisoner would be
lynched, and his quarters were strongly
guarded by the police, Like the case of Mr.
Albert D. Richardson, fays the Ar. Y. Jlcr
aid, aud, alas! like thousands of other cases,
the allurements of lovely women have been
the maddening icfluenco that has brought
about this tragedy. Mr. Fisk had the mis
fortune seme time ago to bacomo infatuated
about Mrs. Josephine Mansfield. Thia in
fatuation so grew upon him that it appeared
as though, had he been a king instead of a
"Prince," he would have doclared to Mrs.
Mansfield, "I'd crowns resign to call thee
mine." lie did give up a great deal to her
and ho not only enriched her, but mado'Ler
tho confident of his remarkable schemes of
gigautic speculation and, it is said, of politi
cal manipulations. The course cf this in
fatuation and passion did net run smooth
and there was ultimately a disagreement that
resulted in enstrangement, and under hostile
influences into something that looked like
vindictiveuess and enmity. The consequence
of all this was that Mrs. Mansfield was dis
carded. It is said that "'green-eyed jeal-'
ousy" brought this "billing and cooing" to
an untimely end. and that if Mr. Fisk had
not favored another lady with whom ho be
came equally enamored, Mrs. Mansfield
would have been his "trua love" to this day.
She became acquainted with Mr. Stokes, and
woman-like spited her old lover by taking a
new one. This hratated Mr. Fisk, and by
way of obtainiug tho sweetness of revenge,
he became mixed np with Mr. Stokes' mer
cantile concerns, and eventually the latter
was arrested for embezzlement. Then com
menced tne tag of war. From' the grided
parlors and bowers cf love in tho Twenty
third Etroet mansion the fierce fight was
transferred to the law courts, to recrimina
tions in the public prints and to the threat
ened publicatian cf a compromising corres
pondence. In thia encouater Mr. Fisk recmed
to b getting the best cf it, when he was
struck down by the cowardly hand of his
enemy, who played most effectually the role
of an assassin.
James Fisi, JA. How large a sliard of
public attention this man drew to himself
was made apparent on Sunday night, when
the telegraph Hashed over the whole coun
try, and the pres, yesterday, distributed the
news of his sudden death. Among the best
men there were words of pity expressed for
the sinner ; but no one attempted- to paiiato
the sinfulness of his lift. Thera must have
been a singular magnetism about the man,
for it attracted to him many individual
friendships. The feaTS that Stokes, his mur
derer, would be lynched, that the house of
the woman Manefield would be rnobbed and
herself maltreated, were suClciently strong
to induce the authorities to put a large pro
portion of the police force of New York on
guard, and even to lead them to confer with
the military upon furnishing their aid, should
the threats of vengeance against tho assassin
and the woman be turned into overt acts.
Fortunately their fears were not realized,
and no acta of violence were committed.
But the tragedy of James Fisk's death being
done, another ia in waiting that of his
murderer, who must answer before the law
for hi3 crime against it. Tho assassination
was in every particular a cowardly, cold
blooded one. instigated by the malice that is
cf the devil, and, as such, bo matter what
reputation the victim had earned for himself,
or in what manner he wrought for the end
he met, it should be punished. Fliila. In
quirer, Lawteu vs. Doctor. Lawyers are in the
habit of showing their powers ef sarcasm at
the expense of a witness whenever they get
an opprtunity. Occasionally they meet their
match in the witness box. The followieg
dialogue took place In the Wharton trial at
Annapolis between Attorney General Syester
and Dr. Warren:
Lawyer A doctor ought to be Ma to
give an opinion of a disease without making
mistakes.
Witness Theyaraas capable as a' lawyer.
Lawyer Doctor's mistakes are buried six
feet underground ; a lawyer'a are not.
Witness But they are sometimes liUDg
on a tree.
The lawyer gave it up.

EocHESTS.it, N. Y.. Jan. S. On Saturday
last a negro named Howard decoyed a little
white girl, ten years of age, into a secluded
place and committed a terrible outrage upon
her. Howard was captured by the police
and placed in jail. The excitement over the
outrage was very great, and a mob f four
or five hundred weut to the jail and attempt
ed to break ia and kill the prisoner. They
were, however, foiled by the police. A third
attempt has met with a like result.
Rochester, January 3. Last evening at
ten p. m. the mob again gathered in front
of the jail, where about one hundred militia
on guard. The police, who had been re
lieved, were again ordered to the jail. About
nine p. m., while the crowd was yelling at
the comerof Court and Exchange streets, the
military fired a volley, killing two men and
wounding a man and boy. The feelings
against the miliary is intense.
"Tho sheriff has ordered out the remaining
six companies cf the 54th resimcut, and
they are how at the arsenal. The authori
ties" are determined to defend tho jail, but
tbey wish the negro Howard well out of it.
Further particulars of tho shooting last
evening show that the soldiers wore pelted
by the mob with brick-bats and atones, and
several of them injured. The order to chargo
was given and some of the men firtd instead.
Rochester, January S. From threo la

When the blood becomes charged with

In speaking of tho recent conflict between
Church and State authorities in Williams
port, where Father Stack called In the courts
to aid him in Ids conflict with Bishop O'-Ha-a.
the N. Y.' Tribune says':
It seems to be general'' agreed that the
present condition of tbo Roman Catholic
Church in the United States is anomalous in
this regard, and onght not to continue j but
we do not see borr it is to be reformed by
injunction, nor is It easy to understand how
the Court cf Common Pleas of Lycoming
county, without arrogating one of the prerog
atives of tho papacy, can assume to reverse
the sentence by which a Bishop forbids ons
of his inferior clergy to perform certain cler
ical functions. The prohibition is binding
only upon the conscience of the Rev. Mr.
Stack ; and what has Judge Gamble to do
with that? As for the priest, he went into
tho Church with his eyes widu open, and
vowed obedience to his bishop, and if bis
bishop uses him unjustly he knows fhat his
only appeal (from a Catholic point of viow)
is to the higher entlioritiss of the Church,
and not to the civil courts. It may be hard
that he should submit to such a rule, but he
took the obligation upon himself, and should
not complain if it hurts him. Or course, if
he chooses to cut loose from what ho regards
aa a tyrannical church, ho Ia at liberty to
do so ; but vre have little sympathy for men
who will stay in a society and refuse to obey
its rules.
A Bride Killed in Her Wepdino At
tire. On Thursday afternoon a gentleman
named Eby, of Lykens, on this State, was
to have been married at Dauphin, to Miss
Julia Straw, of Fishing Creek Valley. Miss
Straw, dressed in her wedding attire, left her
homo in company with a frieud named Jacob
Baker. They were in a" wagon drawn by
two spirited horses, whon within a short dis
tance of McAllister's crossing, on the North
ern Central railroad. Baker heard a train
coming, and did all in his power to check
the animals ;' but they rushed madly on to-
ward' the track, and reached it just in time
to be caught by the Erie express. Miss
Straw was violently thrownfrom the wagon,
and lived but a few minutes. Her injuries
were principally about the head. Mr. Baker
received a slight contusion above the eye-.
One of the horses was killed and the other
so badly injured that he had to beEhot. Tha
wagon was completely demolished. When
found Miss Straw was lying iu close prox
imity to tho heels of the live horse, and the
impression among some who examined the
wound which caused her death is that it was
given by the hoof of the animal.
