In the House at llarri.-burg, last week,
the bill repealing the Jury C'omm rssroner
law was passed finally, after being warmly
discussed. A bill for precisely the same
purpose, originally read in the Senate by
Dr. St. flair, of Indiana county, wds de
feated in that body on the same day, or
the day after its passage by the House,
which indie itrs such a wide diflerence be
tween the t.vo brauches as to warrant the
! :ief that the bi.'l will fail to pass.
Is leply to a resolution of the House,
asking the I'i.-h Commissioners to report
the amount of money expeuded by them
f i the pro ligation and culture (f fish
h-vss the creation of the Commission, an
:v wor was sent in on Monday last, fiom
which it appears that during the years,
17:, "71. "7", '70 and '77, there was ex
pended for the above named purposes f H,
4. Co. And yet the Commission has not
succeeded in hav ing a fi.-h way constructed
through which tl.aJ can pass over the Col
tirnbi i dam. The- failure to d so. however,
.-'ems to be ni 'ro the fault of the shad than

H.w in. incidentally stated last week
l.r.t ambi ia county has twenty tive'repre-
r:t ttives in the Western Peuitr utiary and

'i open question whether she wouldn't be
it as happy it' she had a few more in the

he .Tolinstown ' . . t is moved to ask,
th

trouble of asking us the above question, .

Sit. k C ai oiikv, as they call him, a
member fioni Heaver county, has it:tro
luccd a bill into the House to prevent

equiit s the ju !ges a;ul ciciks of the elec
tions to take an "atb for !he conse-ien i"iis
j if unianee of their duties, ai.d imposes a
(Anally for its violation i f "'i, cr "e
ear's imprisonment. This is getting
down about as low iu the mys eiiotis ways
of local legislation as it is poa.-ible to im
agine. If Caughey gets his little bill
through b"th h-mses, and Hoyt Mgns it,
it will Iiae to be speedily followed by the

Tur. bill which passed both branches of
orgress, limiting the unmbcrof C hinese
niported into this country iu any one Tes
el to fifteen, was returned by Mr. Hayes
with his veto, ou Saturday last, to the
II nisc in which it originated, and au effort
to pass the bill over the veto by the cotis'.i
t Uional two-thiids vote failed. The veto
s ba.-ed ruainly upon the ground that the
bill conflicts with a clause in the treaty
between the United Stales and China, con
luded in ISO, aud that, theicf oie, if Chi
nese emigration to this country is to be
checked, it must be done by mutual nego
tiations between the parties to tbe 01 igiual
Meaty, a not by an act of Congie-s.
fhis secn.s to b-j a very common sfiie
view of the matter. A trcincmh -us cihut
from Caiiforiiia aud ( 'regon was biought
t J bear on Mr. Hayes to induce him to sign
the bill, ai d an equally vigorous appeal
was n.a ie to him from the eastern section
of tho Uuion, Mew Yoik city cspeoially. to
defeat it with his veto. In theso attempts
o control the action of the execu ivc some
-trange co:itiadictions oci-uried. Thus on
.ast Monday week a meeting of HrptUt
clergymea wan held in Philadelphia at
which resolutions w:re passed, aud a Copy
seti to Mr. Hayes, condemning the passage
of the bill and asking h'in to veto it. At
thu vety tinirf that this meeting was being
held tho Fiit.t I'aptist churc'i of San F-au-crsco
sent a dispatch to the President de-
claring that all its members, amounting to
two thousand, implored him to sign the
bill, as a measure vital to Chii.-liau civiii
at ion. When the veto vas teh graphed
to San l'rar-.cisco on Saturday evening the
greatest indignation was manifested, and
Mr. llayrswas denounced Ly the people
aud press iu the most uutui'.ihuitd terms.
Tiif. maintenance of tho National Guard
of this State. in all "the pride, pomp and
cir cumstance of glorious war,'' has assum
ed the form of a raid upon the public
treasury of the most alarming proportions.
The repot' of the Auditor General for-" 1P7S
bhows that during the year the amount of
money paid out of the State tieasuryjfor
. "militia expenses,'' was $160,637.74. ' Apd
now a bill is pending in the Legislature,
and actually passed the House early last
week, appropriating the sum of one hun
dred and "'rty thouf:ind dollars out of the
treasury, to be expended by the Adjutant
General in purchasing for the National
Guard such uniforms, greatcoats, blankets,
knapsacks, and accoutrements, as may be
necessary to complete its equipment, after
the style and pattern of similar articles
now in use by the I'nited States army.
Shortly before the Legislature met, Mr.
Wickersham, the Superintendent of Public
Instruction, 'stated in a public speech that
it was useless for him to draw his warrants
for common school purposes, for the reason
ilhanks to the Ilepublicau Legislature of
last year) that there was no money in the .
treasury to meet them. 'VitU this dis
graceful state of affairs stating the Legis
lature in its face, the members of the
House, by a vote 1 yeas to 6i nays, found
no soit of difficulty iu endorsing this huge :
and extravagant appropriation to the Na
tional Guard. Mr. Deyle, a Greenback
member from Huntingdon county, made :
quite a spirited and vigorous a: tack on the t
bill, mainly on the ground of the present :
elepleted condition of the State treasury,
and also because of the inefficiency of the
Guard, charging it with being directly re-
iponsible for the Pittsburg riots. The Ad- '
jutant General, however, and his brigadiers
who were ou hand lobbying for the money,
had their forces well organized , ami rush
ed the bill through by the vote we have
s'ated. Will the hopes of the people for
legislative retrenchment and reform ever '
be realized? Candidates for the Legisla
ture are always very loud aud cniphat c in
their professions of reform before the
election, but when they go to Ilnrrisburg
they appear to think that the only, or at
least the chief business of a Legislature,
is to vote away the people's money.
Whether the taxpayers of the Stato will
quietly submit to this extravagant waste
of tho public funds for military purposes,
is a question wh'ch they themselves must
auswer. Of the t wo llepi esentati ves from
this county, Mr. Fenlon in a biief sj-fech
vouched for the honest disbursement, by
the military board, of appropriations for
merly made, and then voted fur the bill,
while Mr. Woodiuff voted ttniunt it.
L'piTorw of Republican newspapes, of
high as well as of low degree, continue to
snap and snarl at the heels of Samuel J.
Trlden. It is somewtiat Ftrange that a
man whom they are in the habit of repre
senting as old aud feeble in tho sere and
yellow leaf broken down physically aud
mentally "that wretched old man," as
they delight to call him, should give them
. much trouble, and that upon the devo
ted head of such a superannuated and im
becile ctcatnro the vials of their wrath
should be so constantly pouicd. Can it be .
that they aie afraid that American history
is about loiepoat itself that they remem
ber how tho people in were shame
lessly cheated out of their choice for the
Piesidency i Audi ew Jackson , by tho co
alition between Adams and Clay? how
they treasured up tlio wrong, and haw
they rallied in tlieir might aiound the
standard of '!d Hickory'Tour years after
wards and triumphantly bote him to the
White II )iise '.' Have they a presentiment
that as tho people in lSt? nvenged tho
wrong that had been done to Andrew
Jackson it: I-5-,'!, so in IJxo, under the leaei
of Samuel J. Tihlen, they w ill redress tho
btupendous and tinparallelled fraud that
was practiced upon him in 1'57')-.' We do
not of co, n so kno-.v who will tic the next
Democia'ic candidate f;r the Presidency,
but it would be folly to deny that since
Governor Tilden's complete and triumph
ant vindication before the Potter Commit
tee from all complicity or connection with
any attempt to ob'ain, by corrupt means,
the electoral voto of cither Floriela or Lou
isiana, which weie after wards awarded by
the Klecteual Commission to Hayes, thi
chances of his becoming the standard
bearer of the democracy in the great na
tional contest of next year bve been won
ilei fully strengthened in every section of
tho Union. It is very evident that he is
tho man most feared by the Republican
leaders, otherwise- they would not abuse
and denounce him as they do. 'lime has

The Philadelphia Leljer says it shows
the company's works west of Piits

company's woiks, the only non-paying
portion is that of the United Companies of
New Jersey ; counting the workings of
this section of the great through Hue on
the present ra-ioof division of costs and
charges and there is an apparent loss of
something over a million of dollars. Not

cross the Itocky Mountains to the Pacific

pany lias passed a severe crisis, and is
looking to a lasting future. It has a small
but a positive sinking fund f ? 50,000 per
month, and has, riming the past year,
earned six per cent, on its capital, treating
the proceeds f this sinking fund as assets,
as they undoubtedly are. The.e is no rea
son to doubt the company's net earnings
for the current year of 1S79 will be moro
than six per cent., after raying ad fixed
. charges of interest and tents, and justice
and equity woniu seem to require that the
annual dividends (should reach that figure.
The return of Zach Chandler to the

MR. HATES
TUTS VETO OX
CHINESE BILt.
THE ANTI-
A message from Mr. Kayes, vetoing the ,
bill providing for the restr;ction of Chinese j
immigration, was delivered to tbe Speaker !
of the House ou Saturday evening by Mr. j
Hayes' assistant private secretary, Mr. !
Pniden. Fol!owingiis a synopsis of the j
message : j
i The bill as It was sent to the Senate from ;
the House of Representatives was confined j
in its provisions to the object named in its j
title, which is that of "an act to restrict j
the emigration of the Chinese to the Uni- j
ted States." The only means adopted to j
secure the proposed object was the limit- '
ation on the number of Chinese passengers .
which ;might be brought to this country j
by any one vessel to fifteen, and as this
number was not fixed in any proportiou to j
the sizo or tonnage of the vessel, or by j
any consideration of the safety or accom
modation of these passengers, the simple :
purpose and effect of the enactment was to
repress the emigration to an exteut falliug
but little shor t of its absolute exclusiou. "
Tho bill as amended in the Senate and
now presented to me, includes an inde- ;
pendent and additional provision which j
aims at and in terms requires the abroga- !
tion by this Government of Articles 5 and
6 of the treaty witlr China, commonly ;
called the Butlingame Treaty, through the
action of tbe Kxecuttve, enjoined by this i
provision of this act. The main substance :
of all the provisions of the treaty is to de
fine and secure the rights of our people .'
in respects of access to residence and pro- '
tectiorr in trado with China.
The actual provisions :n our favor in I
these respects were framed to be, and have i
been found to be, adequate and appropri
ate to the interests of our commerce, and :
by the concluding article we receive the
important guaranty "that should at any :
time the Ta Tsing Empire grant to another
nation or the merchants or citizens of any
nation any right, privilege or favor con- ;
nected either with navigation, commerce,
political or other intercourse which is not !
conferteel by this treaty, such right, privi- ,
lege anel favor shall at once freely itittie i
to the benefit of the United States, its ofti- ,
cers, mer chants and ci'izens."
Against this body of stipulations in our
favor, and this permanent engagement of
equality in respect of all future concessions
to foreign nations, the general promise of
permanent peace and good ejffices on our
part seems to be the only equivalent. Re
feience is then made to the visit of Mr. :
Burlii.game. and theieare quotations from .
ar ticles 5 and 6 of the treaty.
The message continues :
An examination of these t.vo articles in
tho light of experience, then influential in
suggesting their necessity, will show that
the fifth article was framed in hostility to
what seemed the principle mischief to be
guarded against, to wit : Tho introduc
tion of Chinese laborers by methods which
should have the character of a forced and
servile importation, and not a voluntary
emigration of freemen, seeking our shores
upon motives and in a manner consonant
with the system of our institutions and ap
proved by the experience of the nation.
Unquts'ionahlv the adhesion of the
Government of China to these liberal prin
ciples of freedom in emigration, with which
we were so familiar and with which we
were so well satisfied, was a great advance
toward opening that empire to orrr civiliza
tion and religion, and'gave promise in the
future of greater and greater political re
sults in the diffusion throughout that, great
population of our ar ts and industries, our
manufactures, ortr matei ial improvements
and the sentiments of Government and re
ligion which seem to us so important lo the
welfare of mankind.
The fust clause of tin's article secures
this acceptance by China ef tho American
doctrines of free migration to and fro
among' the peoples and r aces of tho earth.
Tho second clause, however, in its repro
bation of "any other titan an entirely vol
untary emigration,'" by both the high con
tracting patties, and in the reciprocal
obligations whereby we scented the solemn
and unqualified engagement, on the part
of the government of China "to pass laws
making it a renal offence for a citizen of
the United States or Chinese subjects to
take Chiuese subjects to the United States
or any other foreign country wirhont t heir
free ami voluntary consent," constitutes
'he great force and value of this article.
Tts importance, both in principle and in
its practical services towards our protec
tion against servile importation in the guise
of emigration, cannot be over-estimated.
It commits the Chinese Government to act
ive and efficient measures o suppress this
iniquitous system where those measures
aie most necessary and can be most effect
ual. It gives to this Geverument the fe'ett
ing of a treaty tight to such measures, and
tho means and opportunity of insisting
upon tlieir adoption, and of complaint and
resentment at their neglect. The fifth ar
ticle, therefor p, if it falls short of w hat the
pressure of the later exper ience of our Pa
cific States may urge upon the attention
of this Government as essential to the pub
lic welfare, seems to be in the right direc
tion ami to contain impor'ant advantages,
which, once relinquished, cannot bo easily
recovered.
The lapse of ten yeats since the nego
tiation of the Burlingame Treaty has ex
hibited to tho notice ef the Chinese Gov
ernrrent, as well as to orrr own people, the
working of this expet imenl cf immigration
in great numbers ef Chiuese laborers to
this country and their maintenance here
of all the ttaits of race, religion, manners
and customs and habitation, mode of life,
segration here and the keeping up of the
ties of their original home, which stamp
them as strangers and sojourners, aud not
es incoi porated elements of our national
lifo and growth.
ThiB experience may naturally suggest
the leconsideiation of the subject as dealt
with by tho P.urlingame treaty, and may
properly become the oocasiein of more di
rect and circumspect recognition in re
newed negotiations of the difficulties, sur
rounding this political and secial problem.
It may we'll be that to the apprehension of
the Chinese Government no less than our
ewn, the simple provisions .of the Purlin
game treaty may need to be replaced .'by
mor e careful methods securing the Chinese
and ourselves against, a larger and mote
rapid infusion of this for eign r.ice than our
system of industry and society can take up
and assimilate with ease and safety.
I regard the very grave discontents of
the people of the Pacific States with the
present wor king of theChinese emigr ation,
anel their still graver apprehensions there-
from in the future, as deserving the most
serious attent'on of the people of tho whole
count i y and a solicitous interest ou the part
of Congress and the Executive.
If this weie not my own judgment, tho
passage of W:e bill by both houses of Con
: gress would impress upon me the serious
ness of t'ne situation, when a majority of
tho representatives of the people of the
whole country thought it le) justify so sert-
mis a measure of relief. An argument
is then entered into to show that Congress,
by legislative enactment, cannot obrogate
a treaty.
The bill before me does not enjoin upon
the Piesident the abrogation of the entire
Rui linganro treaty, much less fif the prin
cipal treaty of which it is made the supple
ment. For these and other reasons Mr. Hayes
declined to approve the bill, anel his vtto
was sustained by the House, the bill being
rejected by a vo e of 109 to 95, the re
quisite two thirds not voting to pass it
: over the veto.
1 Thi.nos are not" just so lovely now for
that old public functionary, ex-Governor
James Pollock, late Super intendent of thf
Philadelphia Mint. Three weeks ago
Mr. llajes nominated htm to be Naval
; officer of the port of Philadelphia, in place
of Hiestand, one of Cameron's most slavish
and devoted followers, but Cameron so
; managed tho matter that the Committee
, having the nomination i:i charge took no
action on it before Congress adjourned on
Tuesday last, and for the first time where
i of the memory of man runneth not lo tho
contrary. Pollock is -without an office. It
is a sad and very awkward predicament
. for Pollock, but Mr. Hayes can relieve him
1 by reappointing him, and as Pollock be
! lieves he has atr imprescriptible right to an
office, he will no eloubt do so.

sixty years, is a remarkable old boy of Bor
dentown, N. J. He was a servant ef Gen
eral Wiufield Scott for many years, and now
wears a gold watch, chain and seal, valued
. at ti,150, the gift ef the old warrior when
on Iris death-bed. He owns real estate in
Borelentown, Princeton and New Bruns
wick. A correspondent of the Lancaster jVeif
Ktt says : Tito cost of the National Guard
to the State for the past five or six years
has been enormous, and somehow the ex
pense account is so arranged that it is diffi
cult to asceitain what it is ; but that it has
been excessive, there is no manner of
doubt, and a statement of it would proba
bly startle tbe taxpayers.
A salt well at Le Koy, X. Y., had been
bored to a depth of 450 feet, when a rush
of gas was ignited at the mouth by contact
w rtii a stove, and tbe blaze rose a hundred
feet into the air. A volume of water
came next, smelling and tasting strongly
of sulphur. The superstitious workmen
fled in dismay, supposing that the infernal
regions bad been tapped.

THAT THIS IS THE PLACE TO GET YOUR CHEAP
In thpse dnrk dnj-s of hrd times, no money, financial failures, and universal paofes.lt Is
cheerinir to otiser ve one hriif ht ray of hope oik- promise of relief from the hnriiens which op-pre-ss
the rich, carry consrernnrion to the hearts ef the poor, and niHke rneh dtiy n continual
srrile for the nece-ssrieg of life. In such times, w hen the scarcity of money oppresses all, it be
hooves every cit izen to (rive ear to met nods of economy, w hereby to save money when tho oppor
tunity is presented, and not waste it in purchases rtiat can he made for nearly one-half the runsl
price.
The modern idens of merehandisimr liave mei und mastered the old eredit s.vsrem. CA?fT f
ttie levrr rhat moves the world, and the man whose facilities e-nahle him to sell (roods cheapeM
has rhe inside track and commands riie situation. The maes of the people understand the
power of these if rent drive-s. What sense is there, then, in paying double price for a few days'
credit? Pay day must come some time and it may be that most of people are less able to pay
then than now.
On account of our trememlou daily increase of business, our present location has become too small, and
upon us we hare invested tinted labor aud capital in the erection of one of the finest Store- llooms in thi

any of rlie large city esrHbliohments. Men envv our success who had the same chance of stan i
tnir wirh tts in the race had they practiced ttie same rules through life. Head carefully the prin
ciples and methods we observe, in conducting our mammoth business :
We treat ail alike, whether rich or poor, black or white, teamed or unlearned.
We mark all eur gnnds in plain figures anil adhere strictly to the one price, an 1 that the low
esr. We consider the mnnej- of the poor man U" good a rlie money of the rich, tho cyh of the
stranger ns good as the cash of the acquaintance ; and thus everybody has the tatisiiictiein of
knowing thnt the- are not helping to pay for particular favors shown to orlier customers.
We guarantee every article to be just as represented, an 1 if it does not come up 'he cus
tomer's expectation, or if he or she can buy the same article fnr less money elsewhere, nil that
n-ed be do nei to return it and we wiil refund the money.
No misrepresenting good in order to make a sale. Kvery salesman is under stiiet orders to
sell at prices marked on ticket, nnd t ni'ss a sale rath-r than misrepresent or deceive people.
W het her you are a jufige or I he a. -tide which you wish to pu rchase, or are perl ect ly ignoriint
on that point', yon can depend upon having the truth told ; you can se-tid n e-hild or a servant to
purchase and'you will be sure of not only getting tlie article you want, but obtaining it on ex
actly rlie ime terms Hs if you were to come yourself. We sell for nili ami only 4 noli,
rnd thus the honest customers are not obliged to help pay the hills ol ttie dishonest customers.
The customer V confidence is never utilised. We invite the people's ronfldeneo and seek to
ke.-p it t.v true loyalty to their intere-sts, selling everj thing at smallest profits, applying our best
skill to serve our customer1) cheaply and with articles thoroughly satisfactory and dcperidintr on

Michael Daily, whilout work on West
ern avenue, about two miles outsielo of the
city of Lynn, Mai's., found a trunk from
which a human h.nd protruded. The
trunk was tied with a lnrge woollen stting.
Ou opening it was presented the body of a
young womati abont Jtwenty-four yeai s of
age, nude, with the anus and legs twisted
and distorted, and the nose cut ofT. The
trunk also contained two champagne bottles

The Ilev. Henry Wert:: of Madison,
Wis., was thrown frotu a wagon several

turing his skull, and for weeks his life was
in danger. He has a last recovered per
fect health, but his friends are surprised to
observe that his or thod.ixy Iras been unac
countably destroyeel. Ho was a Baptist
before the accident ; now lie is a Unitarian,
with a touch of Spiritualism, and has lost
all belief in the doctrines that ho used to
preach.
Near Ashland, Oregon, early one
morning recently, a forest of piue trees was
seen bending down as though bowed by a
terr ific galo of wind. At the same time
not a bie.ttb. of air was in motion. During
the previous night a furious storm had
passed over the forest, accompanied by rain
anel snow, and the steady force of the wind
had bent the trees and held them in that
position until the freezing rain had fasten
ed them in unyielding bonds ot ice, and so
they remained until the sun set them free.
Lyman Marvin, a farmer, sold a ton
of hay to Austin & Co., of Wells, Bradford
county, a few days ago. Their barn is in
tlie rear of Blink's marble yard. Tlie
farmer was told to drive in on the west side
of Brink's shop. Ho thought he could get
in better on the east side, where a number
of marble monuments were standing. The
hay struck one of these monuments. It
fell over against a second one. The second
one crashedagainst a third. Marvin re
ceived $7 for his hay. He will be called
upon to pay f 1,200 fordelivering it, as that
was the value of the monuments destroyed.
A young widow in Vicksburg answer

that he was a prosperous New York mer
chant. The widow married him, and two
weeks of honeymoon passed pleasantly.
Then the husband disappeared, and has
never returned to the bride. His motive
,' iu this adventnre seems lo have been pure
: love of deviltry, for he made oo attempt to

' extremely liberal in his expenditures,

farm thirty years ago ran a twig inter his

head. He became deaf and at times snl
' fered intense pain in bis head. Nearly a
i month aeo this pain became unusually
acute and continued without cessation nn
til Saturday week. On that day Mr.
; Nichols felt a prick tug sensation in bis left

j out a round piece of wood three-quarters
! of an inch long and an eighth of an inch in

"Drice List, which wilTappear In
Trtt: Lynn TnrxK Mystkp.y. The in
vestigation regarding the body of the young
woman found in Sangus river at Lyuu,
Mas., as noted in our general news de
partment, demonstrated beyoud a doubt
that death was caused by malpractice,
nrobablv within forty eizht hours. The
body was attired simply iu a long white I
night dress, suspended Ironr lite ears was
a pair of small gold earrings, with peudaut
globes. The face was clotted witlr frozen
blood, which on being washed away had
been revealed tho fact that the woman's
noso was completely ctrt off, apparently
witlr some sharp instrument, and with the
evident object of causing a disfigurement
which would prevent identificatron. The
body ws that of a person probably from
twenty to twenty-fivu years ol age. The
face was very much emaciated anil bore
signs of intense sitfl'et ing previous to death.
Tho woman had probably not been accus
tomed to hard labor, as her bands were
quite white and boio rro calloused skin.
The body bad slightly decomposed. The
detectives are of opinion that the woman
was killed by some person iu or near Bos
ton, and that she came from some one of
the lying-in establishments about that city.
The trunk is one which can be easily iden
tified, is there are vety few of that kind iu
the State, and on one end of tbe lid is a
label of the Everett (Massachusetts) Ex
press company printed otr red paper. Tbe
label bad tlie appearance of having been on
on.'y a short time. The detectives are fol
lowing this clue, and are in hopes that be
fore long th trunk, if not the body, will
be identified. -Z-
BesTOX, March 1. Detectives claim to
have discovered by means of the label otr
the trunk irr which was found the body of
a murdered woman at Lynn, Mass., that
lire trunk wns carried to Everett about '.he
1st of Febr uary last by Etrrer ton's Express.
Emerton positively idcrtttties the trunk as
one he terok from a house in this city. The
detectives are confident that the facts ir.
the case will soon be developed.
Bisnor Eostf.r on Catholics. Preach
ing recently iu the North Eod M. E.
church at Boston, Bishop Foster paid a
high tribute to Catholics. Among other
things he said :
"I have irrent deal of respect Tor Tlomsn

I dn not think we can afford to criticise Catho

a any of you bear ? They are zea Ions, fait hf tt I
Catholics, who believe in the truth ef their
Church, and feel that through It alone they e-an
worship the (iod whom they fear and love.
To what Church, do those self-saerineina, com
munities belong that toil from morning until

The Philadelphia Record says that there
is an evident disposition in the Legislature
te make a session next year necessary.
Those members who value their reputa
tions, and who respect the terms of their
oath to support the constitution, cannot
afford to be conveniently blind while this
g;meis afoot. The bill already introduced
providing lor a commission to count the
vote for State Treasurer uext year should
be passed aud the necessary appropriations
for two years made. The people of lire
tate have provided for themselves a year
of jubilee and rest, wherein they shall bo
secure in their persons and estates from
the molestations incident to a session of
tbe Legislature. Let them have it.
The recent tunning of trains over the
Missouri Hi--er ou the ice is not. a new ex
pedient. About twenty years ago, beforn
the railroad bridge was built across the
Susquehanna at Havre de Grace, the trains
of the Philadelphia, Wilming-on and Eal
timore Uaihoad were transported on the
boat Maryland, which is still used for a like
purpose in our harbor. One winter the
river froze over so solidly that the boat
could not be run. Rails were laid on the
ice, and during a month trains made the
crossing of a mile regularly.
