Thse supposed puardians of the treasury conspired with Ames to plun der it, took the enormous profits, and never relinquished their hold until exposure be earoo certain. Then they all stampeded together, and have since that time endea vored to save themeslves by the most out rageous resorts. The question of female suffrage, Rays Tuesday's Age, came before'the Constitu tional Convention yesterday, on motion to amend the report of the Committee, which does not extend tho right of suffrage to women. We have never seen tho proof that any considerable number of the wo men of Pennsylvania desire the e-lective franchise, ana to extent! it to tliem, or rather to impose it upon them, upon the demand of a few, would be doing an in justice, instead of granting a right or a favr. We suppose there is no doubt in anybody's mind that if women ger.eis.lly want anything they will get it, if it is in the power of man to give it. The 6ex probably has its representatives in the home of every member of the Convention. We presume they are all directly or indi rectly "inhtructed" on this subject; if they arw without instructions, it is a proof of the indifference of their wives and daugh ter to the subject. That indifference oi diaincliuatiou exists generally, and is the best possible proof that there is now no oc casion to alter tlse laws on the subject. W object to imposing political duties on women, when they exhibit no general desire to asmimc them. noticed, and being introduce d to that gen tlenian, he immediately priH-'t-eded to "bhow nil" the faces. Ou the lower sahh of a j chamber window iu the wtst side of the house can be seen, quitv distinctly, the I picture of three human faces and the face A BLACK CAT. At first we could not see anything resem bling human features, but the doctor, tak ing a long pole and pointing out tho eyes, nose, mouth, and outlines of the faces, we coi.ld then see them very plain. We next visited the house of Mr. Samuel Luce, where faces hud been seen by a number of citizens. Here we could plainly see two faces on one pane of glass, apparently those of a lady and gentleman who seemed to be facit each o'.hei, nu on another window could be seen the face of a young lady, and oil still anotlier window we could see a head resembling that of some large auimal, looking as much hko a lion as anything. The fcces on thcc windows are consider ably smaller than are thoso on Dr. 1 toss's windows, but fully as plainly to be seen. From here we went to the bouse of Jake Bullion, and ou one of his chamber win dows we could see what appeared to be the face of AX OLD COLORED MAN baring- whits hair and whitikors, tho fea tures being very distinct. These three houses we have mentioned are the only ones where faces have been seen as yet, although there are soms very llattering indications on seveial other houses. While making our tour of observation and investigation we were accompanied by several citizens of the place, and all of them could see the faces as we saw theiu, although some of the party had nover been able to see them be fore. There are many different theories, opinions and suppositions regarding this phenomenon. ir. itoss is oi tlie opinion that these pictures are caused by some defect iu the glass ut the time it was blovvu. Others there aie who firmly believe thefe faces or pictures are caused by spiritual in fluences, and imagine they can trace fami liar resemblances in some of them to those of departed friends. But the whole affair seeius to us a profound mystery, and we think affords a tins opportunity for scien tific investigation. The glass on which these faces are to be seen has the appear ance of having; own smoked, and ha cv eral diiferent color. The faces CAS OTtl.T UE FROM THE OUTSIDE. To look at them from tho inside not a tingle thing can be seen, the glass looking just as clear as crystal. The houses of Dr. Hobs and Mr. Bullion havo been built a number of years, but, that of Mr. Luce was built about two yeans ago. Had the glass in these houses ail been provided at the sau.o time and place, it wooid perhaps be reasonable to suppose that tlicso pictures were caused by some defect in the glass at the tinio it was made ; but as this was not the case, of course this theory is not a good one. Another rather singular thing iu re gard to this matter is the fact that up to within six or eight week ago the glass in these windows where iice is are now being seen was just as clear as the others are now. These pictures all come on gradually, poeo a poeo, and have Wen forming for several weeks. But wonders will never cease ; for new pictures are forming on lamp chim neys. ( lu Tuesday evening we visited the houee of Mr. Bullion iu company with sev eral others, and nt-aily all of uk could see very distinctly in the chimney of a common keronen lamp the picture of a little girl's facs, apparently about four years old. Mr. B. informed us that for the previous three nights only had anything ever been dis covered in this chimney, and that the faces were different each evening. At a meeting of Spiritualists last Sunday evening, held at the home of Mr. Andrew Taylor, who resides about two or three miles northwest of Rome Centre, the spirit Biif Injun" spoke through a lady as a meniun:, and said lie anew ail aUoufe l lioou faces, and that he helped put them on the nindows, and told one gentleman present (who had endeavored to wash off the pic tures on one of his windows) that the "white brave" could not wash them off with dirty water. The first thing a citizen of Home Centre does now every morning is to go out and examine his windows to see if any faces have been develoicd during tho night. Adrian (Mich.) Journal.

The case was that of the v;ty sgaiiift Williamson, for desert ion. '1 he ji!gumci:t presents a numlter of qmstiom', j all ..f them interesting, ami in view of the j facts proved some v hat Hove!. I'or this aon wo give Wlow tlie' charge more fully J than given by the telegraph. 1 h Jiuigo i aid : j Tlie re.-.l plaintiff here is a woman who i allt-ges that she marriid defendant, live .1 with him as her husband for sixteen eais and riHB mother by him of seven children, all of whom arc now dud except two, ami one of the survivors appears viith his moth er in court. The defendant does not dmy that he went through the ceremony of mar riage with this woman, and that the cere mony was ierfornird by a Catholic priest in a private room at Antrim in Ireland, at or near the place of the then residence of the parties. The cohabitation and birth of childrcu during the period of sixteen years is admitted, but the defendant de clares lie is and alwayu has been a Protest ant, and interpose as a flat bar to this mo- tiou an I.nglifh statute, passed in tlie nineteenth year of the reign of George II., which declares (chapter 1. section 1,) "That every marriage that shall be cele brated after the 1st day of March, 1740, between a Papist and any person whoiiath been, or hath professed him or herself to be a Protettant at any time within twelve months before such celebration of mar liage, or between two Protestants, if cele brated by a Popbli priest, shall be P.nd is hereby declared absolutely null and void to all intents and purposes, without any process, judgment, or sentence of law whatsoever." As a consequence it lias Veen argr.ed that the children of these par ties are bastards, and their mother nothiug more than a concubine. Story, in his Conflict of Laws (p. p. 85. 87, Ml. and 92), in substances maintained that whenever the laws of a foreign coun try are in violation of the laws of God, sound principles of morals or settled prin ciples of public policy, they will not be recognized. We Khali not be told that a husband and father may cme into this jurisdiction, make it his domicile, and then, when followed by his wife and chil dren, shall deliberately turn them all out upon the cold charity of the world, pro claiming that every right has been destroy ed by virtue of an antiquated statute. The evidence here seems to be, at best, in doubtful condition upon one point, but the weight of it teems to establish the fact that thi defendant considered himself a good enough Catholic to contract this mar riage ; to live unmolested by any leal au thority ; to become the father of seven children by his wife ; nor did the defend ant discover how thorough a Protestant he was until it becan e convenient to aban don his wife, eslablishj i domicile here and contract another marriage with another woman in this country. It gives me great judicial satisfaction to be cinbled.npon the facts before me, to render a decision in favor of this wife, to make this faithless husband and father, who did not hesitate to brand his own off spring in an open court of justice as a bas tard, to understand that justice b adminis tered here and that his conduct does not fail, in the most unequivocal manner, to meet with the Btemest and most uncom promising judicial condemnation.

Here are some extracts : I put up for the uight by turning my ponies loo.se and my cutter up, and sat mc down to rest within twenty rods of Andrew Johnson's house. There I was all night singing, praying and working to keep alive. At one lime I struok my hands oOO time?, and at another kicked r.iyfeot 500 times. At length day dawned, but no abatement of the storm. I could not see two rods af ter digging out of where I was drifted un der, and could hardly stand ; the wind blew so I was afraid to loave, aud returned to my snowy nest and laid me down to die, if it was God's will. Subsequently he made another attempt, found a slod track and reached a barn. About nine miles from Glenwood a man who went out to chop wood stuck his axe in a drift and buried himself i i the snow.

The next day he went iw search of his team, uunr.g Air. Peterson's wanderings on this day, snow accumulated in his whiskers and eyebrows, which, warmed by his breath, soon formed a coating of ice all over his face, when, all at once, he was startled to find his breath cut off by the encasement.

He say nothing but his kuifa saved his lifo on this occasion. Gilbert llalverson, of llartland, Free born county, went to his stable to feed bis stock, and could not get back to hi house, afiw rods distant, for two days and nights. John Jones, Jr., ofJButteinut Valley, started from Lake Crystal with au ox team. He drove until the oxen would drivo no longer and then concluded to take care of himself. He tried to make the house of Mr. Phillips, but failed. Feeling along a fence until he reached a straw stack he went for the interior of that stack with the earnestness of one woiking for dear life. He opened a passage into the cen tre of the stack, and then dug out an aper ture so that he could stand in it and ex ercise his body to keep from freezing. Occasionally he would lie down and lest, and then up a.ain and continue hi exer cise, and so he passed the night, freezing slightly his hand and ono foot. His oxen were found both r.tone dead.

He therefore tied the mule, a long-eared, melancholy mule, forty or fifty years of age, to the body of the tree. The mule was bridle-wise, but no bridle would hold him, and a strong leather ca ble was coiled about his neck. Willi this he was fastened to the tree. The farmer rtarted to the house, aud Bruin, divining his plans, deemed it proper to get away. lie doubtless suspected that a gun was coming.
