The view taken i f this resolution was that it was somewhat vague in its pro visions. For instance : Charley Ihockway is repotted to have remarked that ho was unable to understand from the provisions of the tesolu'Jon whether the jli.Ulnij of a speech meant the preparing thereof or the delivering of some sentiments after tlie same had been fully adjusted in the mit.d of the orator, while Sam. Josephs insisted that tho mere act of prr-.Huti.i- a speech to tho publisher of the Lt'jitlative Joiirn.tl would not necessarily insure its insertion in the columns of that intere.ting sheet. So the resolution was not agreed to, though another resolution was subsequently passed limiting the speeches of members on any subject to ten minutes. Thk election to be held for Mayor in Al toona next Tuesday will possess much in terest fur the careful observer oT passing events. One year ago the people of that city voted on the '-local option" question, and. by tlie large majority of over 90') de tided adversely to the sale within the city limits of all manner of intoxicating liquors. This result was looked on ns one of the in it signal triumphs achieved by tlie pro h l)itio,,ists i,i the State, and was widely ptoted as an indication of the rapid advance of the principles characterizing tho ttm j.erance idea. I'.ut those conversant with the facts in tho case aver t'.,:..t, despite thu Vote refi-ired to, no diminution in the co:i unnption of alcoholic d.rinl-s is percept i-bl- in the Altona of to-day over the AIkki naof a year ago, and tho le-ouls of the CiiAiter Sessions of Dlaii cout.ty, clooucnt as they are with nieniui auda of coutraba ml w hNkr-selong cases, would seem to cor roborate the assertion.

So palpable was the I perjury of these men that the eontifel for the defence. Colonel Marshall, who is evi I dently an honorable gentleman, would not allude to them, and disdained to base any i argument upon their testimony. But ; the climax was capped when the jury re turned their veulict on Saturday night. ; when, even before the Clerk could record ! the verdict, the prisoner was seized bv bis fiiend- and admirers and hurried from the court-room amid shouts of exultation and ; rejoicing that would better have graced i the triumphs of a hero than tho escapo of a criminal from the deserved fetters of tho : law. A crowd numbering between two . and three hundred persons accompanied him through the streets to the dwelling of . Ids father, making the welkin ring with their shout of exultation. Thus ended the "farce"' of a trial which succeeded the bloody tragedy that took place in this of fie? on October 27, 1873.

A few mo ; ments before the mail is due Knapp stations i himself at the mail rack and when the bag lieir right to J Is thrown from the car be carries it to the ission on the f Post Office, arid if it contains any letters lor his master he takes them back to him. When freight trains begin to switch cars at the depot Knapp always takes a red f.sg and trots up or down the track, as the case may be. and fiags any train that heaves in sight. Knapp always keeps his position faithfully until called in by sig nals, jut as any other flagman is. Engin eers ail know Knapp. and faithfully act upon his signals. After the departure of freight trains Knapp ofteu walks down the track and carefully examines the switches to seo that the hrakenien have left tion of the public. The ret u ins shall be sent j them all right. Satisfied that no blunders to the prcthouotary, and at twelve o'clock i have been made, he walks back to the de pot, and if the clock shows him that he has a few leisure moments he signifies to his master a desire for a pipe.

The comma (,) that little dot, which is a very insignificant thing to the eye. sometimes plays an important part in language. Thoiifeh the rules for its relatives, are somewhat obscure, nevertheless its func tion in some cases is very clear and of con siderable moment, as has been discovered in a law of congress passed in 172. In the Uriff bill which went into effect that year there was la-ga addition to tho free list, and among the articles added were "fruit plant, tropical and semi-tropical," designed to encourage their importation and cultivation. But in the processor en grossing or transcribing the bill to be of ficially prin'rd, a comma was interpolated between fruit jtml plants, whereby all fruits weie put on the free list.

Seeti nis CO and 21 provide penalties for issuing and obtaining fraudulent natural ization papers, and for issuing them blank, with a seal of any prolhonotary or clerk attached. Such are the main points of the new election law of the commonwealth, which applies to all special and city, ward, bor ough and township elections, as well as to the general elections. A ten year old son of Mr. J. A. Pen ney, lesidingat Thompson Centre, com mitted suicide on Friday of last week, by shooting himself with his father's revol ver. The boy had been attending school, as also was an older boy about sixteen yea: of age, who was in the habit of whip ping him. In a scufilo on the day named, young Penney cut the boy in the back with a knife, causing the blood to flow freely, and some of the boys told him that lie would be hanged for it. This alarmed him and he got leave of absence nml ttai t. f (l home, lie mads a movement as though about to administer a kick, and Knapp opened bis mouth and uttered a growl, which con vinced the brakeman that such a proceed ing would be dangerous. Knapp kept his prisoner in the room until the train had g.ne so fr that the brakeman couldn't catch it, and then releasing him, Knapp walked away as unconcernedly as though nothing unusual had occurred. Since that time the brakemen have been exceedingly civil to Knapp, but he treats them with lofty indifference. A". 1". Fun. THE MOST REMARKABLE FEAT OF ALL. A correspondent furnishes the following additional incident to tho Sun: I have read the story of Ullnian's educated doc. ' and can vouch for its truth but. his must remarkable performances are not even re ferred to in your article. Standing one day upon the platform at the depot I no ticed that a passenger train had stopped, and that the engineer had temporally left the engine. At this time the dog Knapp was standing near, and it was apparent from his lestlessness that he was not at all pleasrcd to see tho locomotive thus left alone. As he was silently contemplating the scene and wondering in his own mind what course it would be advisable for him to pursue under the circumstances, anoth er t rain came thundering up to the depot and ran into the rear of the one that had been left standing without an engineer. Fortunately the foi ee of the collision was not great, but the jar was sufilcient to open the throttle of the driverless locomotive, which immediately commenced moving oil" at a rapid rate. Knapp took in the situa tion at a glance. His time to act had come, and, like a flash, he sprang for one of the passing cars, catching the rear platform of the last one as it rushed by him. cove rv.
