T.inn, the present of the Com monwealth, will be retained by Gover nor HoyL A SIO,OOO package was stolen from the ecivernaent printing office, at N\ ashing ton, one day last wsek. The most ex pert thief can not do that from the he porter office. Caleb Onshing died at Newbury port on ."s bv which New F-ugland has lost perhaps, the ablest, most accomplished And versatile of all ner sons. As a law yer, a diplomatist and a statesman h stood in the very front rank of the men of the present time. From the Sua : l appears that in Ne York eitv soma churches are diaturbe. about the kind of wine to use at the communion table and that it is kept up in soma of the churches with unabated energv. In soma eaaaa worn-out clergy men are emploved in vending the n fermented' article, and in expounding its merits and enforcing its excellence a meetiugs of ecclesiastical bodies. f not unusual for these hrethern to carrv with them to such meeting* a demijohn of their favorite tiuid, or A '•* bottles l r both. On a recent occasion, whan a cetaosnnioa service was to be held, the clerical agent took a demijohn of wine with him. and deposited it in the re, r of the church, in which the brethern as sembled. When the communion table was to be spread the wine was sent for bnt the discovery which was made cast a gloom over the advocates of the tin fermented." The wine had burst the cork out of the demijohn anil overflow ed and the cellar smelt as if it belonged to a barroom. The agent retired in d:s* may as ,]uietly as he could, and other Arrangements were at once mad# for such as had always been used at that church atcommuuioa. While a Christmas gift '• an agmable thing to take, w# would advise any reader of the Reporter to beware of a Chrietmaa check —or a check givsn on any other legal holiday. Iu Cincinnati Messrs. R. C. Wheeler A Co., the com pany being Mr. Charies I*. Forbua, en gaged in buying and selling hogs on comtniesion, bought a urge lot of stock from different parties on Christmas day and gave their checks for the aame. and aold them to another dealer on the aauie day. When the original owners of the stock pre seated the checks next at the hank where Meesre. Wheeler A Co. deposited, it was found that Mr. Forhus had withdrawn the entire amount of the firm's deposits, amounting to S*J3,OOO, snd that the checks were worthless. Mr. Forhus WAS arrested and imprisoned next night He admits drawing the money, and saya it WAS appliad in dis charging other indebtedness of the firm. If Curtin can not prove fraud, as the radical organs assert, then why are they so ill at ease about the contest ' they should be composed if they be.iev# what they say. Their concern and uneasiness over Yocum, shows tlwt the rsds hate all the stock there is in Sth, and that his green backiscn was all a sham to deceive dem ocratic voters. As soon as a democrat doubts that Yocum was fairly elected, up goes a howl front radical organs Queer, isn't it? Thie Yocum matter re minds us of a story about a pussy, thai was the joint property of two little si tets, and which, for the sake of peace, was portioned off by the parents that Dolly should own the tail end and I.irry the head end. While Liny waa up stairs one day, Dolly trod on putsic's tail, causing a fearful tneauw. Li try, tLw owner of the head enJ, hearing the cat s cry, called down to Dolly : What are yeu 'busing my end of the cat for." To which Dolly replied, "I only atepped on my end, and your end hollered." So with Yocum—tread on his tail, and you hear an awful yell at the radical end of the greenback kitten. In Milton, a few daya ago, a party of young men were in Buff's hotel, when a colored man entered who waa known to have a weakness for whisky. Tne men entered into a bet as to how much he coald drink, the liquor to be furnish ed and paid by them. He drank 3 pints right along, and soon gave signß of be iag in a bad way. He waa then carried on the side walk in the piercing cold and covered with a blanket where he remained unconscious for over an hour when he was taksn home and died next day. He has a wife and two children. This we would make out murder in tbe highest degree. Under the familiar name, The Cm/re Democrat, the new democratic paper at Bellefonte, by Messrs Sbngert A I-orster, made its appearance last week. It ia a handsome sheet and the ability and ex perience of the proprietors, as editors, and politicians, are a guarantee that ii will be a well edited paper and conduct ed with no selfish purpose hut with a view to the good of the democratic party of the county and state. In this object the REPORTER welcomes the Democrat as a co* worker for the eucceee of tbe great democratic party and its time honored principles. We wish our new neighbor abundant success financially and other wise. Tbe proprietors are ao well known to Centre county people as men of char acter and sound democracy that they need no further introduction at our hands. Robfert Mackey.tbe head of th# re publican party of tbis state, died at Philadelphia, on 2nd. Mr. Mickey was the man the Camerons most depended upon to keep themselves in power. He knew how to carry out their work suc cessfully and served them well, and his death will be a severe blow to tbeir domination, as it given encouragement to others to rise up and claim seals ic high places from which they were de prived through fear of the Cameron dis pleasure.

When his de mand was compiled with he expressed himself as feeling much relieved. At the Sub-Treasury u was sUted yesterday that the total coin now held by the go# eminent for resumption purposes amounted t0|145,1>40,000, and from the looks of thiiqpi on the first dav of re sumption it would be a difficult matter to get rid of the meiai, the people refus ing to take it. General Hiiiiasijse said ti.iit be was not at all surprised ac th* light demand for gold com, as in his opinion Ui* people would prefer green backs so long a# they w ere as valuable. Mr. White, the cashier of the Nub-Treas ury, expressed the op>uio;i that all classes would rather have paper money when it represented the same value as gold, as it was much easier to carry. Greenbacks, he said, are now redeema ble in coin ail over the world, and no body is going to load himself down with the metal w hen the paper money is just as serviceable. A very noticeable fact which teuas to show ticat silver is not needed in such large quantities wan tbe fact that not one dollar in that inetcj was paid out at the Sub Treasury yesterday. Leprosy, which it ha# been thought did not exist in this country, has been developed in Louisiana.

Hpeaking of the physi cian's application, the writer says : All he took with him wai powder of sulphur, and a quill, and with these he cured every case without excep tion. He put a spoonful of the Hour of brimstone into a wineglass of water and stirrod it with his finger instead of a spoon, as the sulphur does not readily amalgamate with water. —: When the sulphur was well mixed hr gave it as a gargle, and in ten min 1 ules the patient was out of danger!; Hrimstone kills every species of fun gus in man, beast or plant in a few minutes. Instead of spitting out the! gargle, he recommends the swallow ing of it. —In extreme cases in which he had beeu called just in the nick of time, when the fungus was too nearly closed to allow the gargle, he blew the sulphur through u quill into the throat, and after the fungus had shrunk to allow of it, then the garg ling. He never lost a patient from diphtheria. If a patient cannot gar gle, lake a live coal, put it iu ashovel au.j sprinkle a spoonful or two of Hour hriiuntowu4.£ Jime upon it, let the sufferer luhale it, holntnglh; £ed over it, and the fungus will die.
