C3 ESS TTFH" i : I; t r c ti tl. n tl i Cambria fncnunu PA. Saturday Morning', I i Feb. 17, 1872. An election has baen ordered on ifie loth of March in the Fifth Senatorial dis trict, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Henry S. Evans. John W. Foknet, collector of the port of Philadelphia bas reeijjned ! That mentis something, for Forney is not in the habit of giving up a good fat office without cause. There is something in the wind Some think that Forney wants to oppose Grant. We will see, what wo will see. Thk Act pased by the IIjute,;two week ago, preventing the sale of all kinds of liquor on election day, has been so amended by the Senate as to stop the sale or gift only during the time the polls are open. After the polls close drinks will be in order. Those thirty-three grave gentlemen seem to understand human na ture pretty well. R ETRESENTATIVK CONNOR, f Texas, testified before i lie Hons Postal Commit tee that over 400,000 was squandered in useless mail contracts, in one year, in that State. These contracts were given to particular men, for particular purposes. It will tak a pretty heavy cont of white wash to cover the record of the Post mas-ter-Genral, when it is blackened by such direct testimony. TnK carpet bag Governors of the South ern States seem to be meeting their just deserts in all directions. A despatch from Florida says that on the report of the Special Committee on Railroads, both Houses of the Legislature unanimously greed to impeach Governor Heed, of that State, for misdemeanor in office. There will soon not be one of th scoundrels and thieves left to tell the tale. Thk general amnesty bill which has been before Congress for some time, was defeated in the Senate on Friday of laet week, because of Sumner's civil lights bill having been attached to it. This civil rights bill is to compel the legislatures of the several States to pass laws ordering the churches, hotel?, and all places of amusement, to be opened to the free re ception of negroes. Thosa in favor ef amnesty Lad to vote against tho bill be cause of the infamous amendment. The latest and most barefaced radical scheme for plundering the national treas ury davo'oped itself in Congress last week. Its paternity is due to a regular carpet bagger from Mississippi, and as a project for diverting tho government from its le gitimate purposes, is well worthy of the soureo whence it proceed?. What capa cious minds these low and dishonest ad venturers have for all manner of legisla tive swindling and corruption ! The fallowing despatch to the N. Y. World wdl give our readers a pretty fair insight into tho purposes as well as enotmity of this gigantic job : The radical projects to plunder tho Treas ury are increasing daily in number. Tho latest one submitted by Parce, a noted carpet-bagser from Mississippi, and laid be fit e members today eclipses anything of the kind jet heard of. In tha first placu it Is proposed to tike two hundred millionsout of the treasury to givs to landless citizens meaning, of course, the negroes to be dis pensed in this wisa : Those desiring to set tle on the public lands shall bo transported there at the public expense, and on proof that they have no means to open the lands, shall be furnished with the following articles to wit: $50 worth f building material, lumber, canvas, or oti er buildiDg material ; 1 plough. 1 pick axe, 1 hoe. 1 shovel, 1 axe, 1 hatchet, 100 pounds asurted cut nails, 400 pounds of flour, 60 pounds of bacon. 10 rounds of coffee. 5 nounds of test, inn nminl of corn meal; 100 pourda of salt. 15 bushel of seed wheat, 5 bubhel of seed corn, 4 buslin e's of seed potatoes, and l WOl th of assort ed garden seeds. Tho third section declares that the fund for this appropriation fchall he derived from a tx upon an equitable asess incut of all tho money and other property cf the people of the United States. This ex traordinajv rr.aaame is uow before the Com mittee on Public Lands. Thk J udiciary Committee of the House of Representatives at Harriiburg made a report last week ajjinst the adoption of tho report of the Commissioners appoint ed to tevise the civil code of the State. This rosult was anticipated. Tho law providing for the appointment of theCom Bois6ionei8, three in number, was passed at tho session of 1807, and required them to perform their woik within two years, although no sano man beliecd for one moment that they would do so. It was A set up Rffir from tha beginning to fasten upon the trensurj', like so many leeches, three radical lawyers, one of theta Mc Veigh a son-in-law of Simon Cameron and another Hall a brother-in-law of Francis Jordan, Geary's Secretary of the Commonwealth, and anxious to bo bis succossor. These men were known to be incompetent for a proper and intelligent discharge of the responnble duties assigned to them when they wero appointed, but they wore radicals of the first water, close -Jy connected by marriage with two of the leaders of that party, and that of itself covered a multitude of sins. This busi ness has cost the tax-payers of the State rot less than jifiy ttousaml dollars, and now their report is kicked out of the Leg islature as a crude, unlearned, unsatisfac torr, bungling performance, and unfit tc be adopted. Each member of this in competent board has of coursa feathered bis own nest to the tuns of several thou sand dollars, and tho people have paid pretty dearly for their whistle. It is one i)f the most shameless frauds from its in ception to its disgraceful termination that was ever peipetrated on tha treasury. This and i's kindred job, the Hates' his tory swindle, hava abstracted from the treasury the enormous sum of at lecst two hundred thousand dollars It in by audi dishonest devices that radicalism plunders and robs the men of icuustry an! jyil in Pcorjaylvanin. Missouri ttrtd Connecticut. When we published in cur last week's ifsue the resolutions adopted by the Mis souri Convention ef liberal republicans who are opposed to Grant's ro-election, we expressed our conviction that no dem ocrat could reasonably dsent from the views and policy they announced. Since this Missouri revolt against Grant and Lis administration, the democracy of Connec ticut have held their nnnual State Con vention to nominate a candidate for Gov ernor and other State tfftcer?, and in their platform they have incorporated not only the substance, but, in tho many instances, the identical language of tha Missouri resolutions. This shows that, in regard to national affairs, the same doctrines that are recognized by the ami Graat republi cans of Missouri, and elsewhere in the wfs!, are received with willing and com plete acceptation by the democrats of Con necticut. Tho demccratic party of that State has always been distinguished for its strict devotion to party faith. Indeed it has sometimes been regarded as too ultra in tho expression of its opinions, arid no one can therefore charge it with a base and cowardly surrender of its princi ple?, msrely because it endorses and rati ties the sontiments enunciated by the Mis souri convention. For all practical pur poses the platform of the Missouri liberals is sinoply the recognition of that policy in administering thn affairs of the general government which tho conservative ele ment of the whole country is eo anxious to sec adopted. The very essence of the Missouri platform is what every democrat in the land is laboring to accomplish. It means opposition to Grantism tha over throw of a weak and incompetent Execu tive rnd the expulsion from power of an administration which is lawless and usurp ing in all its tendencies and ossrntially corrupt in all its departments it means honesty and reform in the-public service, and peace and good government in tho Sou:h, where moro official rapacity anl villainy hava curbed and impovesished the people than were ever inflicted on any other country on the face of the earth. It is a hopeful Men when the anti Grant re publicans of Missouri and the democrats f Connnccticut thus strike hands together in battling for a common purpeso, and it shows that with a union of these two ele ments of opposition .to Grant over tha whole country, his defeat is a foregone conclusion. Wc will not permit ourselves to doubt that 6uch a union can bo ef fected. It cannot be that a majority of the voters of the Unitod States who are opposed to Grant and all his works, will so divide and flitter avay their strength as to let the prize escape from their grasp, and thus render his re election and all tho evil consequences resulting from it, not only pcssiblo, but absolutely certain. Un less party leaders are stricken with judi cial blindness, we look for wiser and more prudont co'j-sels to prevail, and that there by the threatened calamity of another four years' terra of tho present party in power may certainly bo averted. Some member of the lower branch of tho Legislature, wiser and moro patriotic than his colleagues, hns introduced a bill into that body appropriating from the State treasury tha sum of ten thousand dollars towards the completion of tho Washington monument. If thero is any ono object not immediately connected with the material interests of the State, to the furtherance of which tha pernio would sanction a reasonable nppropiiation of the public funds, it is tho one contem plated in the bill reerred to. It is a burn ing shamo and reproach to tho whole country that the work of erecting a great and imposing monument to him who was first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen," has not yet been prosecuted to a final and success ful termination. Tho monument which, when completed, will be the grandest structure of its kind tho world ever saw, presents tho same appearance to-day that it did seventeen years ago, when the work upon it was interrupted by the advent of the bigoted Know-Nothing party into the common councils of the city of Washing ton. Jt presents an unsightly aspect, and one which is a sad commentary on tha liberality ami patriotism of the American people. A groat many plana from time to time have been suggested by which it was thought that money enough could bo raised witJi which to resume the work upon it and push it to a speedy conclu sion, but they havo all ended in disastrous failure. It has long been plain to us that, if ever the monument is to be finished, it will only be done through the action of the different State Legislatures, and hence we regard thin movement in our own As sembly as a beginning in the right direc tion. Surely there still exists in this country a feeling of lova and veneration 6trong enough for tho virtues and fame of Washington, not to suffer this proposed monument on the bank of his own loved Potomac, ami in tho city which bcarhis own immortal name, to remain in its pres ent dilapidated and unfinished condition. If tho bill passee, as we trast it will, it will furnish an example fur the other States to imitate. That they will do so cannot be doubted, and thon wo may in dulge tho hopa that tho work will be re sumed and the monument completed ac cording to the original design of its pro jectors. Ttoublb Rkkwikg. Tho Springfield (Mass.) Jltpvblican gives a political statement which is construed as portending trouble. It fays : Senator Wilson ha gor.o back to Wash ington, after two or three days in New Eng land and New York, in a very alarming state of mind as to Gen. Gram's prospects of re election. They tell us from Washington that ha says he cannot tak the stump in the New Hampshire election unless the President first "cleans out" tho New York Custom lloua. Evtn Forney has got frightened, and takes very gloomy views of tho political situation. There ara no better political barometers than Henry Wilson and John W. Forney. They scnt danger from afar, and know well when to hide from the coming storm. John L.. Burns, familiarly known ss the "Hero of Gettysburg." djed "recently in tho 7olh year cf his ago.

Dins Mac Were I to give anything like a detailed tketch of the almost countless an tiquarian and sacred ruins in which Carlow and Wicklow counties abound, it would be ytars before I could get back among my friends in "Little Cambria so I will only touch on the most prominent ones, and pro ceed at once to the VAI.E OF AVCCA, or the "Meeting cf tho Waters," which com mences at the confluence r.f the Avonbeg and tho Avoi-m-ire rivtrs. No wonder that tho immortal Moore wrote : "There i not in the wide world a valley so sweet A3 tho vale in whose bosom tho bright watera meet. Oh ! the last ray of feeling and life must depart Ero the bloom'ot that Valley shall fade from my htart." Nature has here scattered her charms with a liberal hand. Waving woods, crystal waters and verdant shores combine to render tho scene one of surpassing softness and beau tiful trtnquility. It surpasses any place I havo ever seen for calm quietude and lonely repose. A short distance from the ' meeting of the waters' the vale gradually expands into broad and verdant slopes, dotted here and therewith -white cottages, thro' which (the valley. Dot the cottages.) the river glides gently towards the sea, whoso blue waters make a noble boundary to a combina tion of tho grandest and softest scenery which nature is capable of producing. Leav ing the lovely Vale of Avoca. we come to tho head of Gleurualone glen, which presents a wild, impressive afpect its rude and bar ren rocks, rising abiuptly on either bide, give it a savage grandeur. Next we come to GLEKDALOIGII, or the "Glen of tho Two Lakes." tiers again the tourist is trans-fixed with amaze mtnt at the sceua which nature spreads out before him. G'endalough, or as some call it, the "Seven Churches," is about twenty eight miles from Lublin. The glen is about two miles and a half in extent, open at the eastern extremity, but erclosed ou every tide by lofty, precipitous mountains. I ascend ed the valley through which the road winds for about a ni!e and a half to obtain the firt view of the once celebrated Glenda'ough, where religion and literature flourished in oldea times, but which now presents naught to tho traveller save a melancholj' waste who-a scmbre character is deepened by the mouldering re.'fcs of past greatness that lie scattered here and there through the glen. Tho first object that attracted my attention was tho stately Iv ucd Tower, consideieu one of the finest in the country. Next was tha "Cathedral." "Our Lady's Church," and "St. Kevin's Kitchen." Hern in tho fifth century did the good St. Kevin retire after ha had consecrated himself to religion, and founded the Abbey cf Glendalough, over which ho presided as abbot and bishop for many years, and I believe history tells us thr.t he lived to the patiiarchal age of one hundred and twenty years. A description of all thete monastic ruins would probably tiro tho general reader; to I wi I britfly mention tho celebrated "St. Kevin's Bed," a small cave, hollowed in the face of a per pendicular reck overhanging, at a contidera b'e hfaight, the daik waters of the lake. The romantic tradition attached to this bed and cuve has given it an extraordinary ce Ifbrity and has formed the sul j-.ct of one of Moore's exquisite melsdies, cemmenciog with : "By that hike whose gloomy shore Skjbirk never warbles o'er," etc. We are tcld th&t St. Kevin, in his youth, was as remaikablo for his personal beauty as he was fur his exemplary piety, and that he cnconrcii uslr cap'ivited the heart of a high-born lady named Kuhleen. Tho love lit glances of htr "eyea of n ost unholy blue" could cot si ften the rigid heart of tboyoun" acchoiitc, however, and in order to free him" relf from her visits he concealed himself in a cave of Lugdutr mountain. But the lov ing Kathleen, who knew no barrier between herself and him she loved, tracked his steps to the rocky couch, and Even now while Kevin calmly sleeps, Kathleen o'er him leans and weeps." But the legend tells ua that when ho awoke aad saw a female form standing near he, in a moment of anger and distraction, hurled her from thn cliff into the lake below, where the fond Kathleen met a watery grave. Kevin tiied to save her, but it was impossi ble, and ha then prayed that no ono would ever again be drowned in that lake a prayer which I am told was granted, as no one waa ever known to bo drowned in it since. Those wi-shing to read this in full can do so by rtferring to Gerald Grifiiu's poems. L-av'iDg with fond and delightful recol lectiots tho lovely Gltndalougb, I turned toward LUGGEr.AU, wcich is encompassed on all sides by moun tains, some of them of the wildest and others of tho lichest and most pleasing character. In the cutlino of a huge rock is distinctly traced a gigantic resemblance of a human face, looking jlormi.'y on the lake below. Tho eyebrows, broad and dilating, are mar ked by moss and heath, and the prominent cheeks aud d?p fUi,kon eyea aro perfectly farmed by the- clefts in tho reck. The mouth ap pears open, but if you move to a distance it seems to close, aud that too without pro ducing any alteration in the features. A little distauco up, tho valley closes with an amphitheatre of rocks, down which flows a small but pretty waerfal!, forming at the foot a little stream which, winding through the meadows, mingles with tho still waters of the lake. Not far from Luggelau is tha celebrated Devil's Glen, which I think is a monstrous inisuomcr, as tho Glen of tho Gods would bo moro appropriate for such a combination of wood, rock and water in all sufficiently beautiful to be entitled to tho latter name. Here tho Vantrey river forma a fioe fall of one hundred feet in height in an unbroken descent. Tho next place of note and interest is tho TOWN tF BilAY situated on the sea shore, about a mile be bind the promontory of Bray Head. From here I went to viit the Glen of the Dawns. This beautiful fairy dell is walled iu by mountains clothed with ash, oak and ever green shrubs. High upon tho wooded hill to the left going from Bray stands a ban queting house and a rr manlic cottego, so delightfully situated as to impart an air of poetryto tho whole landscape. From an octangular room in tho banqueting house the best view of the surrounding couutry may be obtained. The glen far beneath, with tho many-tinted sides of tho rocky steeps by which it is overhung, rich in nativo woods and abundant plantations, and the sublime galaxy of neighboring mountains, amongst which the dazz'ingly whito peaks of the two Sugar Loaf hills tower conspicuously the whole presenting a scene of luxurious soft ness, combined with grandeur and magnifi cence. Here I will close for tho present. la my next I will commence my description of Dublin city and surroundings. I may here 6tato that I have received several letters wanting to know when I will return. Ono letter suggests that I ought to g to Belfast and round the coast of too North f Ireiaud. Another is impatient to know if I will Wt any part cf Connanght. which the writer says is "full of old abbeys, castles, roacd towers, love'y landscapes." and detlce knows all the other things. I have only to say that I will return in a few wcks and that I will endeavor to see all Ireland fiom Fair Head in Antrim to Mizen Head in Coik, and from Slycie Head in Gal way to the big hill of Hotfth. lot I will not promise to describe every cook and corner between these boun daries.

An im mense throng blocked all the ktreets adjicent to the Cathedral as early as a o'clock this morning to attend the funeral ceremonies of Archbishop Spalding. At each gate leading to the Cathedral a ptrorg force of poMce was stationed to sld the Young Men's Catholic Friends' Society in carrying out the pro gramme of arrangements aal preeerviDg older. Abcut 9.30 o'clock the different Cath olic societies Legau to arrive, and, assisted by the police, succeeded in reaching the pla ces assigned to them along Chailes and Franklin 6treeta. The Papal Zouaves, a company of young men from St. James's Church, numbering sixty, were uniformed in gray trimmed with red and bore email rifles. Tho other societies present were St. John's, St. Vinccut's. St. Patrick's, St. Peter's. St. Ignatius. St. Mary's, Star of the Sea, St. Joseph's, Holy Croys, St. Alphon sus. and a delegation from the Church of the Holy Martyrs; also a delegation of tweoty members from St. Francis.' (colored) Church, a delegation of forty members from tho Col ored Catholic Benevolent Society, and a del ecation of tho ame number from the Colored Young Men's Benevolent Society of Wath ington. A delegation of fifty members of tho Young Men's Catholic Society of Phila delphia arrived early this morning and were received by the St. Patrick's Society and es corted to tho Cathedral, where they wero placed in line with the other societies. At 9;30 the aide door of the Cathedral was opened to the pewholders and reporters cf the press, and very soon the Cathedral was filled in every part except the space reserved fur the attending elergy. Tho formation of line was concluded ebout 9:45 o'clock. In a few minutes the Cathedral bell was tolled, and the bell of St. Afphonsus rung a requiem. The muffled drums sounded a slow march, ami the Papal Z maves moved up above tho front gato anl formed in double file, with arms reversed. Tho solemn cortege then began descending tho steps of the archlepis copal residence. It was headed by three youra men, the centre one carrying a large cruciCx and those on each side large lighted ear.dles. Tbeso were followed by priests of different churches and students, solemnly chanting, dressed in the robes of their office. The next in order wero Most Bev. BUhops Foley and Wheelan dressed in deep purple, with trailing rubes supported by boy p. They participated in the kinging, anil were fol lowed by other priests al chanting. These were followed by a large number cf gentle men. Nxt cams the bier and coffin, draped in black cloth sod almost hidden under a profu.-ion of the choicest flcwars arranged in crosses and garlands, supported by six pall bearers, members of the Archbishtp's coun cil. The trustees of the Cathedral acted as honorary pail-bearer?, and tho e'ergy of the atchdircese as assistant pall bearers to. the members cf tho c uacil. As tho precession movftd along a mcst respectful silence pre vailed. The members of the different socie ties ranged along the sidewalks, with their banners draped in mourning, raised their hats, and tho who'o asemblaso intuitively followed their example. After the procession entered the chinch the gates were closed and tho religious Fcr vices commenced, which were not concluded up to 3 o'clock. During tho ceremonies Mizut's grand Rs qniem Mass with other appropriato music was rendered by the cathedral choir and tha orchestra. The sermon waa then preached by the Most Rev. Archbishop McCloi.key, of Nw Yoik. from 2 Corinthians, xii, 15 "Most gladly would I apend. and spend myself for your soul," Sec. The reverend speaker commenced : "Oace again, beloved brethren, the metropolitan see of Biltimore is deprived of its chief pastor ; this veneran b!e metropolitan, this mother of churches, is draped in mourning in tokeu of widowhood;" and proceeded to deliver a mcst eh quent and touching discourse. At tho close of the ser vices the cifQa wai taken by tho clerical pall-bearers, preceded by the bishops, to tha basement of tho church and thrcngh a long succession of arches to the crypt under tho main altar. On each side of the patsage-way w-ero ranged priests and seminarians, each bearing a lighted candle. Through these tho procession moved, and when tho pall bearers reached the vault tho coffin was rested in front. Tho "Miserere" was again chant ed, after which Bishop Whelan, of Wheel ing, W. Yd., reed tho burial service. The coffin was then placed in a case which was deposited in position and tho vault closed. Tho marble slab in front of the vault is sur mounted by a cross, under -Jihich is inscribed th oOjoin) title, ae, and elate of decease of the archbishop, with a Latin iogeod. As Important Boston Thero is an im portant tumor afl at, founded upon a spe cial despatch from Halifax, N. S. to the Bos ton Advertiser, based upon good authority that a treaty exists and has been signed by tho Britibh tnd Canadian Governments fur the separatiou of this Dominion from the British Empire. Tho terms wero agreed to when tho act of confederation was passed by tho Imperial Parliament, but tho treaty was not to take effect for some years, unless the British Government saw the necessity for action sooner. Kver einco the treaty the British troops havo been gradually withdrawn from Canada until thero is scarcely a soldier left in the Dominion outside of Halifax. Thero is no doubt that should the differences between Great Britain and tho United States beccmo serious the British Government will at once publish tho treaty and proclaim the independence of Canada, and by that means bo relieved of the necessity of defending these colonies against tho United States should war ensue.

In 1SG1 John Tarr would read ily have sold his faim for 11600; but in June, 18G1. longhand patient boring was re sponded to by tho spurting up of tho olea ginous treasure from several heavy wells, and then the rocky and hilly aores of the old man could scarcely bo bought by covering them with money. In 18(34 ho refused $2. 000.000 for what had then become famous as tho Tarr farm, and despite tho fact that in common with other wells, thnaa of his own land had not been as profitable tho last four years as befere. he died possessed of a larger fortune than that offered him in 18S4.

From the St. Louis Itepublican, Feb. 8. A railroad accident, appalling in its result.-, occurred yesterday morning about C o'clock on the trsek cf the K .ekfurd. Iijck Island and St Louis Railroad, about one mile corth of the Alton Junction station, about twenty miles from this city. A passenger train. No. 4, due at Eaet St. Louis at 7:10 o'clock A. M., proceeding at a rate of fpeed cot much less than twenty miles per h-vir, was brought in collision with a train of freight cars moving at a rate of speed of not less than 12 miles per hour. The engines came together with terrible force. The front part of both wero shivered to fiagments. The baggage car was torn to splinters, t lie stove broken, and the wood fire mixed with the sjivered material of the de molished car. The passenger coach Dext be hind the baggage car was driven forward by its own and the momentum of tho two cars behind it. so that it was fe'fescoped into tho broken baggage car, the fror.t stove broken, the seats torn from their fastenings, and w ith their occupants hurled in a heap to the rear part of the car. S sudden, so violent and unexpected a sheck for the moment rendered the occupants of tho car, who had escaped without iijury, totally incapable of extricat ing themselves from the debris. The frag ments of tho baggage car were already iua light blaz, tho bhattered timber of the pas senger car was on fire, and tho pinioned passengers, unable to help themselves, wero crying piteously for assistance when there was none to help. A few, who had escaped without harm, put forth almost superhuman efforts to rescue their fellow travellers from tho impending doom. There was not ac axe or any implement with which to cut away the parts of the car which imprisoned tho victims. Some were hauled out with broken legs, some with broken arms, and one had his collar bono and jiw fractured, while others wero pulled from tho burning wreck with scorched limbs and covered with blood streaming from frightful wound:,. The fire blazed up. and spread with great rapidity. Tho cries c f the helpless persons still in the wreck becamo heart-recding. One cf the persons who va3 burned in the wreck was caught across tho thighs by tomo part of the car. Two of the passengers who had es caped went to his assistance, and were en deavoring to relievo him. when the flames leaped cut, bnrnirg their hands, and forcing i .t ,3 .1- e . . . ' tuein io auanoon ine uniortunato man to nis fate. Six of tho passengers who had suf fered severe injuries weio rescued with diffi culty after the fire had broken cut, some cf them severely burned. The spot where the f.ccident occurred yesterday evening bore testimony to the dreadful nature of tho scenes witnessed therein the morning. There were tho. ashes and the blackened fragments of iron work about the c.r. the shattered and broken locomotives, the red stains cf blood on the pure white of tho snow, the unpleas ant odor emitted by the half-consumed bod ies of the four roasted victims, all conspiring to force upon the mind a realizing sense cf tho disaster of the morning. The number r f those who received r.rsonat ir inri U I variously entimated at from thirteen to sev enteen. Drs. Williams and Haskell, of Alton, and Dr3. Ytrkers and Lemen.cf Upper Alton, were summoned early in the day, and re paired to tha scene of the accident and ren dered valuable assistance to the unfortunate sufferers. Some r f the wounded wtsj seri ously huit. Mr. Caniijan, of St. L-'uis, suf f rod a compound fracture of the leg an 1 was otherwise bruised. Another gentleman had his jiw broken and was much irjured about the head and shouldeis. Some wero burned. Others had broken ankles aud arms. Some were cut about the head and face, and others received injuries in tha chest and about the body. After having their wounds dresed tho sufferers were all conveyed to Brighton, a station some miles bej'ond Upper Alton. Tho bodies, cr w hat remained of them, of the four victims cf tho fire, wero conveyed to Alton, and placed in tha office of Mr. O' Connor, undertaker, and will bo kept there until this morning, when a coroner's irqnest will be held. Tho names of two of tfcem had not been fully ascertained. Tho re mains of these victims are so much consumed that recognition is impossible. Their limbs arc entirely consumed. Of three of them nothing is left but tho headless trunk; the fourth has no legs left. These charred re mains present a spectacle truly horrifying. The undertaker's t ffico where tho bodies are laid is a dark, gloomy room, aud the roasted bodies of those who but a few short hours before were in the eijoyment of lusty life, seemed to have found a fit place, surrounded as they were by the sombre furniture of the grave. Tho Schools or Medicine. Thero can bo no good arise out of the quajrels about the comparative value of the different schools ef medicine, eclectic, alio pathie, homoeopathic or what not. Tha school that cures, and the doctor that cures, has the cream out of the most of them. It is in thia wy -ht Doctor Xevser. with his LufO Ct'BK has succeeded iu overthrow ing most consumptive diseases. The dismal prospective which once haunted th poor consumptive is now dispelled forever, as many in our midst can bear witness. When taken early, Da. Ketsf.r's Lung CurtE alone will eradicate tho disease from the con stitution, and lull tho threatening cough which attends it into a culm, which is a sure presage that the lungs aro he-iling, and tho membraces cf tha bronchia are returning to health and duty even in old anil stub born cases cf consumption, Da. Ketpke's Lu::r Cure and treatment havo absorbed tho tuberculoid matter and swept it from tho system. Tho study cf its properties and its modo of action raises it far above the reach of ajy imputation of empiricism. Tho Doctor, besides being a skillful and thorough apothecary, is likewise a conscientious phy sician, who has acquired by over twenty five years cf study, not only his diplomas and degrees, but has honored and protected them with half a lifetime of v.ilnable experience.
