Why, when a late case of fraud in the ' revenue, amounting to some $5,000, was re ported to tlte Collector by a proper akar, did not the Collector investigate the case instead of getting in a rage and saying to the informer, " You are a d—d fool, when I, want your information I will send for you?" 2.

Editors Express : In reply to the commu nication in your paper of Saturday evening last, addressing certain interrogatories to the Collector of Internal Revenue, I have to Huy that, when the lute case of fraud (amounting to $1,144, not $5,e00, as stated by your veritable (!) correspondent) was re ported to this Wilco by Albert C. Leonard, 1 commenced the investigation of the case immediately on its report to me. Within one hour I examined and detained the whiskey, and reported the case to the as sessor, who subpumaed the witnesses and took the evidence in the case, including that of Leonard, the informer. 2d. The books were not returned to the distiller until after the Assessor had com pleted his investigations, some ten days after their delivery to the Collector. tid. The Collector did not Six the books, or allow any one else to do so. They were re• turned to the distiller in the same condition as when taken from him. 4th. I did object to the action of the in former for representing himself and assuin ing to act as an officer of the revenue. riti. It was not the Collector who sent a "certain Lancaster lawyer" to the inform er in the above case to fee him for a consid eration of $2,50 (or any othersum) to say no thing more about the matter. lith. I ant not aware of the existence of a whisky ring in this district. If there is, I defy any one to prove that 121111 a member of or have any' knowledge of It. The day after the informer made his c'orn plaint met him In front of Mr. Michael's hotel, asked him if he had any further in formation in relation to the case, to which he replied, "I have, but will tell you when I intact ;" to which I remarked, "when I want your Information I will slind for you," meaning to have him subpaenaed by the Assessor, which I dial. And further, Mr. Editor, when the above ease was reported to me by the Informer it received my immediate attention—the whisky was detained by me, and exam ined by the proper officer, and in compli ance with my duty and the requirements of the law, I reported the case to the As sessor, Mr. Warfel, who made a thorough investigation of it—subpaenaed the wit nesses and took their testimony, but failed to find cause for an assessment of the tax, in consequence of which I was unable to sustain proceedings for a forfeiture of the property. This case having been reported to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue by the Informer, nod desiring to do my Nv bolo duty, 1 forwarded a copy of all the evidence taken by the Assessor to the Department at Washington, with the request that if it was deemed sufficient to enter upon pro ceedings for the forfeiture of the property, I should be so advised and instructed.

No nominations for State officers were to be made. A very strong delegation to the National Convention was chosen. They were not instructed.

From Washington WASHINGTON, March 16, 18138 THE TENNESSEE TROUBLE. The President, to-day, returned to Gen eral Grant the papers in the Tennessee dis turbance, with an endorsement in substance that the Constitution does not authorize any interference on the part of the Federal Gov ernment until a demand is made by the authorities of the State in which the insur rection has taken place, and that as no such demand has been made by the author,ities' of Tennessee, no order can be made.

S., the correspondent of the New York World;Mis had a conversation' with the President. From his report of It we extract the'following: • ' • - The PreSident, who had, up to this reo: ment,tacitly declined to discuss 'the ques tion of impeachment, suddenly loosed his thunders. • - " Conviction !" he exclaimed; " convic tion or what, after alit Here , is the so called'Civil Tenure blll. It received my veto, for the reasons that I believed it to be inimical to the orderly administration of the Government and to the Constitution. The Senate, before passing it over the veto, twice voted down that part of it intended to deprive the President' of the control of his Cabinet. When they did pass it, it was still with the expressed understanding among several Radical Senators that it left the President the right to remove members of the Cabinet whOna he did not appoint. This understanding was concurred in at the time by Mr. Stanton and all' the other members of the Cabinet. It is now con curred in by every member of the Cabinet. It is conveyed in the first section of the act itself, which reads as follows : 'That every person holding any civil office to which he has been appointed by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, and every persoia who shall hereaf ter be appointed to any such office, and shall become duly qualified to act therein, is, and shall be, entitled to hold such office until a successor shall have been' in like manner appointed and duly quali fied, except as herein otherwise provided; provided that the Secretaries of Stateof the Treasury, of War, of the Navy, an of the Interior, the Postmaster-General and the Attorney-General, shall hold their offices respectively for and during the term of the President by whom they may have been appointed, and for one month thereafter, subject to removal by and with the advice and consent of the Senate? Does this pro hibit the President from removing a Cabi net officer whom ho never appointed, but who has merely remained over from one administration to another? The act says, who may have been appointed, by the President.' I did not appoint Mr. Stanton. He received his, commission as Secretary of War during the pleasure of the President, which ho was obliged to produce; in court the other day, from Mr. Lincoln. He can exhibit 110 commissiop of a subse quent date. His month of grace under this administration expired long ago. He has been liable ever since, even under the pro visions of the Civil Tenure act, to be per emptorily dismissed from his office without any consultation whatever by the President with the Senate, for section four of the act additionally provides : 'that Nothing in this act contained shall be construed to extend the term of any office the duration of which is limited by law.' It was by the Presi dent's sufferance alone, therefore, that Mr. Stanton retained his position so long before it was found necessary to suspend him." "The Senate have changed their minds," I observed, " since the passage of this inter esting bill." "In regard to ifs scope and intention, I should think so; but the action of the Sen ate on their construction of the bill, in re storing Mr. Stanton to office after the Presi dent had suspended him, rendering it more imperative that the constitutionality of the act should be brought to a judicial test. The ' Executive on one hand, and Congress on the other, had arrived at a radical difference of opinion on three points; First, as to the policy of retaining Mr. Stanton as Secretary of War; second, us to the President's right to remove Mr. Stanton being reserved under the provisions of the Civil Tenure act; and third, as to the President's right to remove Mr. Stanton being granted to him under the broader provisions of the Constitu tion, irrespective of an act which the President and his Cabinet advisers held :Ind now hold to be unconstitutional. In the first place, Mr. Stanton was a marplot in this administration. His removal had been urged, for months previous to his sus pension, by numbers of distinguished citi zens. Reasons which need not be here enumerated in detail caused me to disre gard, as long as I could, these appeals, and tolerate Mr. Stanton as an enemy right in the midst of the Executive household. forebore, until forbearance ceased to be a virtue, to do what, however essential it was in my judgment to the interests of the coun t ry, was destined to stir up an untoward po litical agitation. It was my hope, when Mr. Stanton was suspended during a recess of the Senate, that the acrimony aroused among the leaders of the Republican party by that move would perhaps subside in a great de• gree before the next meeting of Congress ; that, impressed with the justice of the pro ceeding, the Senate could then ratify a now nomination, and that a turbulent session could be avoided. In the second place, finding that the Senate was determined not to concur in the suspension, and after Mr. Stanton had succeeded, against my wish and design, in again obtaining possession of the War Department, I still hoped that the President's right to remove him would be conceded to be within the indirect sanction of the Civil Tenure bill. You will recall the fact that, in my communication to the Senate in response to the resolution passed in executive session declaring that the Senate did not admit the President's legal power to do what he had done, I sustained this right under the Civil Tenure bill with a some what extended argument. But, in the third place, having satisfied myself that this right would be contested as it is, I endeavored to make plain the unimpeachable grant which I had all along discerned for my action in , 1 the Constitution itself. It was evident to I my mind from the first, that if Stanton's ' removal was to be declared null by Con gress on account of this Civil Tenure act, then the Civil Tenure act, thus construed to deprive the Executive of his constitutional prerogatives, ought to be judicially pro nounced upon. There was absolutely no other way to bring the law to the notice of the Courts than that which the President adopt ed. Had General Thomas not been dis charged by the District Supreme Court, had there been the same disposition shown ou ono side as ou the other to get the vital question of the constitutionality of this law decided by the tribunals, the case of Gen. Thomas would probably have been car ried to the Supreme Court on an appeal, and a decision might soon be obtained there by which either the Executive or Con gress would be bound to abide." " Yet here is a supposed cause for im petteti mem. Why, every private citizen of the United States or another country where Laws exist has the right of testing in court a law which his neighbor has made an ex cuse for injuring him. Is the President of the United States not to .bt• allowed the same privilege when his administrative rights, rights which the nation has in trusted to him, and for the preservation of which he is made responsible, are sought to be arogated by I care not whom ?" "Well, then, let us proceed to other con siderations. The President is impeached of a 'high crime and misdemeanor' in re moving Mr. Stanton. Besides the impossi bility as I believe, of showing that the President acted outside his vested powers in making that removal, is another diffi culty. If it could by any twisting of logic be shown that he has acted outside those powers, a wrong motive in so doing must be proved against him. Was there a wrong motive exhibited in deposing this man? Could there be any motive except the legiti mate one which inspires a President to rid his Cabinet of an officer whose enmity to the Executive ann whose discordant coun sels had marred and threatened to trammel the whole machinery of the administration? Surely, I am not able to recollect a single previous instance in our history wherein it was attempted by the Senate to compel a President to retain in the position of an ad viser and Lead of au important executive department one whose sentiments and views upon public matters were directly at variance with those entertained by his su perior, and iu whom the latter had not suffi cient confidence to intrust him with the conductof the most pressing, affairs apper taining to his office." The President here arose, went into the adjoining library, and returned with a couple of volumes. Opening one of them, he resumed' " Here is an index to pages of precedents, allowing that the right of the President to select his own Cabinet hail not only never been denied to this extent by the Senate, but that it has been frequently exercised more peremptorily than in Mr. Stanton's case. Look at this one instance in the his tory of Mr. Adams' administration. On the 10th of May, 1000, President Adams ad dressed to Colonel Pickering, then Secre tary of State, a note, which I will read: " ' To T. Pickering, Esq., Secretary of State, Phi I ecd phia : " • MAC• 10, 1800. " ' Sin: As I perceive a necessity of in troducing a change in the administration of the °trice of State, I think it proper to make this communication of it to the present Secretary of State, that he may have au op portunity of resigning, if he chooses. I should wish the day on which his resigna tion is to take place to be named by him self. I wish for an answer to this letter, on or before Monday morning, because the nomination of a successor must be sent to the Senate as soon as they sit. "' With esteem, I am, sir, your most obe• dient servant, "'JOHN ADAMS.' " Colonel Pickering replied in artextraor dinary strain, declining to resign; where upon Mr. Adams sent him this laconic notice, which bears date May 12, 1800: ." 12Trt MAY, 1800. "'To Timothy Pickering, Philadelphia: : Divers causes and considerations, essential to the administration of the Gov ernment, in my judgment requiring a charge in the Department of State, you are hereby discharged from anyfurther service as Secretary of State. " ' JOHN ADAMS, " President of the United States.' " [Works of John Adams, Vol. IX., pp 54,55.] " Observe, in this, that Mr. Adams saw fit to peremptorily discharge Colonel Pick ering. The same day, May 12, the Presi dent sent a brief announcement of the re moval to the Senate, which reads as fol lows : "'MONDAY, May 12, 1800. "'Gentlemen of the Senate: "'I nominate the Hon. John Marshall, Ecq, of Virginia, to be Secretary of State, In place of the Hon. Timothy Pickering, Esq., removed. "'JOHN ADAMS: , "That was all the official notice the Senate had of the removal, before or since. Mr. Adams in one of his Cunningham letters, calls this one of the Most deliberate, virtu ous, and disinterested actins of his life."

DARING EXPRESS ROBBERY Maarderotts Assault Upon a Messenger-- 820,000 Stolen--.. Messenger Danger ously Injured. The Cincinnati Gazette of yesterday says : Another attempted murder, and heavy ex press robbery, has been perpetrated, one which will startle the ears of our readers as much as it will the stockholders of the American Express Company, who are the losers. The particulars of the affair, as we learned them, are as follows: The express car which bears the freight known to ex pressman as the Richmond and Cincinnati Run, together with two passenger cars, was hitched on to the down train on the Cincin nati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad, at Hamilton, about 10 o'clock last night. The American Express car and the one in ques tion were under the control of Mr. S. P. Hayman, who had in his possession a safe containing, as near as can be estimated, $20,000 in money, besides a large amount of miscellaneous goods, all consigned to this city. Everything went well until the train reached Glendale. At this place a man was seen to jump on the forward platform of the first car in the rear of the one oecu pied by the Express Company. It was pre sumed by the conductor, that he intended to take a seat in the car, and no attention was paid to his movements. Some place betweeniGlendale and Lockland, which are only six miles apart, this man, or more properly, villain, entered the 'express car, and with some hard instrument, probably a slung-shot, he knocked the messenger, Mr. Hayman, down, and then, securing the key of the safe, he opened it. Mr. Hay man had by this time partially recovered from the shock sustained by the blow, and attempted to raise from his prostrate posi tion. By this time the robber had opened the safe, and noticing the fact that the messen ger was conscious, he drew a pistol, and with the butt of it, struck Mr. Hayman six terrible blows on the forehead, knocking him perfectly insensible. The villian then rifled the safe of its contents, about $20,000, it is presumed, as the bills call for about that amount. This affair, as is related above, was the work of a very few minutes, and when the train arrived at Lockland, the robber must have left it; in fact, one or two parties saw a man jump down an em bankment, and, scaling 'a f fence, run for a piece of woods within a few hundred yards of the track. The parties who saw him, however, paid no attention to this, suppos ing that he lived in the vicinity, and was in a hurry to get home. On went the train, and it was not until it had nearly reached Brighton Station, that the condition of the messenger was dis covered, and then merely by accident, by the baggage-master, who had occasion to ask Hayman a question. The baggage master discovered Mr. H. insensible, and found the bills of the money taken from the safe strewn all over the floor of the car. One of these bills called for $9,000, shipped from Richmond, Indiana, to this city, and it is from these that the estimate of $5.0,000 having been taken has been made. When the train arrived at the depot in this city, Mr. Hayman was still in an in sensible condition, and bleeding profusely from the wounds in his head. He was re moved to his residence, No. 504 West Fifth street, and medical aid promptly summon ed. Everything which human skill could devise, was done for him, but at one o'clock this morning he was still in an unconscious state, and fears are entertained of his ulti mate recovery. The bills alluded to above were taken care:: of by the :baggage master, and delivered to the night clerk, at at the American Express Co.'s office on Fourth street near Race. Word of the affair was immediately communicated to the de-- tective police of our city, and late as the hour was, preparations were made to pur sue the robber.

The turnpikes are in a very bad state, but the common roads are almost impassible. Many persons who are compelled to come to this city on business, prefer coming on horeeback to any other method, for fear of breaking down or getting swamped in the mud. A few more days of warm genial sunshine like that of to-day will dry up the roads and render them fit for any kind of conveyance. When this oc curs there will be a revival of all kinds of business, and cheerful faces and a more plentiful supply of greenbacks will be the consequence. PRESERVATION of Flan.—The following supplement to an act previously passed by the Legislature of this State relative to the passage of fish in the Susquehanna river was read in place, in the State Senate, yes terday, by Mr. Coleman: SECTION 1. licit enacted, &c., That it shall not be lawful for any person or persons to extend or place any fish basket, fish trap, or other device, permanent or temporary, across or any place in the Susquehanna river or other stream or streams designated or embraced in this act. Neither shall it be lawful to fish with any seine or by any other system of entrapping in numbers within one half mile of any sluice or other de vice erected for the passage of fish, as de scribed in this act, or upon or about any dam in or upon which such sluice shall have been erected, or to draw any seine or net in any of the said rivers or streams within one-half mile below any of the said dams, or to use any device or means to frighten the fish, or spawn, or fry, or other wise to prevent their free passage up or down the said streams or passage-ways at any distance whatever from said dams, and any person offending against the provisions of this section, their alders or abettor; shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and ou conviction thereof shall be fined in any sum not less than one hundred nor more than one thousand dollars, and beimprisoned at the discretion of the court for a period of not more than twelve months, one-half of the fine above-mentioned to be paid to the informer or complainant. It is also required that all constables fin their townships, wards or districts, keep special watch and make return of any vio lation of this law to each and every Court of Quarter Sessions in the county or coun ties in and for which they may be constables as in the case of other misdemeanors. In Section 2, the office of commissioner is further continued as heretofore provided ; but said office shall cease on the 31st day of December, A. D., 1838. The duties of said commissioner in addition to those now specified by law shall be to use his best en deavors in the general furtherance of the objects of these acts, and if any concur rent legislation be necessary in conjunction with the State of Maryland to ascertain and report such proposed legislation to the Gov ernor, who will submit the same with his recommendations favorable or otherwise without delay to the Legislature of this Commonwealth. THE COCALICO VALLEY.—A correspon dent of the Inquirer writes to that paper a letter from Reinholds station which con tains the following interesting facts: Reinhold's Station is situated in the Co calico Valley, on the Reading and Columbia Railroad, and is quite a lively and business place, there being a treat deal of shipping done. Corn, wheat, oats, and clover seed are shipped away in large quantities, also a great number of posts and rails. The best of sandstone abounds in inex haustible quantities in this vicinity, about 21 miles from the railrohd station. There were over 400,000 cubic feet of this stone shipped last summer to Columbia for the erection of the large basin for the Reading and Columbia Railroad Company; also, a large quantity for building the bridge across the Susquehanna at that place. Thousands of feet are also shipped to Philadelphia, Reading, mid to the glass works in New Jersey. The Cocalico Valley is of the best of lime stone land, and our farmers raise the best of crops. There are five streams of water pass ing through it which affords the grist, and other mills excellent water power. The dam at Frederick Fox's mill covers forty acres of land, and besides affording im mense power for propelling the mill, it is an excellent fishing place, the best of fish having been caught, and in winter it gives the lovers of skating u fine opportunity of enjoying themselves. Within (a few miles of the station are four grist mills, two chop ping, and one saw mill, all doing a good business. VEN ERABLE CLERGY.—Among the fa thers of the Methodist Conference, now being held in Philadelphia, are the follow ing: Rev. P. Durbin, who entered the minis try in 1819; Rev. C. Cooke, 18`20; Rev. Jas. It. Ayers, 1822; Rev. Joseph Castle, 18 . 23; Rev. Anthony Atwood, 1825; Rev. Thomas J. Thompson, 1826; Rev. William Cooper, 1827; Rev. Francis Hodgson, 1828; Rev. J. A. Massey, 1827; Rev. H. Colclayer, 1828; Rev. John Humphries, 1829; Rev. R. M. Greenbank, 1829. Nine of these ministers are still in the effective ranks, and fully able to render efficient service. The Rev. Henry Boehm, who will com plete his 93d year on the 6th of next June, is also present. Mr. Boehm heard the Rev. Robt. Strawbridge, the apostle of Metho dism in Maryland, preach in 1781. FREE FRO3I TAXATION.—A bill has been recently introduced in the State Senate to exempt real Securities from taxation. The bill reads as follows: That mortgages, judgments, recogni ounces and monies owing upon articles for the sale of real estate, made and executed after the passage of this act, shall be exempt from all taxation, and that, from and after the first day.of December next, no taxes of any description shall be assessed or col lected on or from mortgages, judgements, recognizances or monies owing upon arti cles of agreement for the sale of real estate, whether made or executed before or after the passage of this act: Provided, That nothing in this act shall be construed to apply to mortgages, judgments, or articles of agreement given by corporations. MERCANTILE TAX AND APPRAJSESIENT. —The following is the act passed by the Legislature and signed by the Governor, in relation to mercantile appraisement and tax, explaining the true intent of an act to provide for the reduction of the public debt, approved April V-, 1846: SECTION 1. Be it enacted. etc., That the true intent and meaning of the eleventh section of an act entitled "An act to 'pro vide for the reduction of the public debt," approved April twenty-second, Ann o Dom ini one thousand eight hundred and forty six, is hereby declared to be that a manu facturer or mechanic not having a store or warehouse apart from his manufactory or workshop, for the purpose of vending goods, such manufacturer or mechanic shall not be classified or required to pay the annual tax and license as is now required in relation to foreign dealers, and that an affidavit before an alderman or justice of the peace, or any person authorized by law to administer an oath or affirmation, setting forth the fact that such manufacturer or mechanic has not a store or warehouse apart irons his manufactory or work shop, shall be suffi cient evidence for their appraiser of mer cantile tax not to so classify said manufac turer or mechanic: Provided, That any person swearing falsely in relation to any matter, provided for in this act, shall be deemed guilty of perjury as if said oath had been taken 14 any legal proceeding. LET ON Ooryntacr.—All the remaining portion of the Coltimbia and Port Deposit Railroad between the latter place and Octoraro creek, has been contracted for by Messrs.

Criswell. of Barrisbarg, has con tracted for the making of the new railroad from Carllsleto the Pine Grovelron Works; for the sum of $300,000. Itis his intention to begin the work as soon as the weather opens. A new building, 60 by 100 feet, pro4ected some time since, will be built lit the State' Normal School at Millersville daring the coming summer. Joseph Mclntyre, one 'of the - Soldiers' Orphans at the Home in this city, died at that institution, last Monday morning. Tho remains were sent to Gordon - Ville, this county, for interment, the mother of- the debeased residing - there- . The Knit annual report ofJ.Dtitton keele, Chief Engineer of the Wilmingnin ct Read ing Hallroad,.eatimates the total cost of the same and rolling stock, including ten low motives, ten passenger cars, two hundred eight-wheeled cars for freight and station houses along the line,' at $1,788,000. The Columbia Building Association has elected the following officers: President, E. Hershey; Vice President, S. C. May; Treasurer, A. Bruner, Jr.; Secretary, A. J. Kauffman, Esq.: Directors, C. S. Kauff man, Hiram Wilson, E. F. Keener, George Bogle, James Schroeder, John Shoenberger and W. W. Upp• The Indications are, at present, that the ice in the Susquehanna river will pass quietly away with no unusual demon.stra none and without any special damage. On the morning of the 12th Inst. during the absence of the family, the house of Judge Dock, on Market street, Harrisburg, was entered; the bureau, writing desks, d:c., were broken open and two gold watches, several sets of jewelry and other valuables taken to the amount of nearly $l,OOO. • The necessary repairs and cleaning of the canal on the Susquehanna will soon be completed, and it is supposed that water will be let in in about ten or twelve days, when business will be resumed in good earnest. THE FIRE IN CHESTNUT STREET.—About 4 o'clock, on Tuesday afternoon, a fire oa• curred at the Keystone Machine Shop and Foundry of Messrs. Landis & Bro., in Chestnut street. The tire originated from a large ten•plate stove, used for baking what are termed cores employed for cast— ing purposes. The heat of the stove caused the lathes and:boards of an adjoining frame building to ignite. The fire was speedily subdued by the Friendship engine, which was, on account of the nearness of the en gine house to the scene of action, first at the fire. The loss occasioned by the fire is Inconsiderable. Messrs. Landis desired us express for them their thanks to the differ ent tire companies of the city for the prompt and efficient manner in which they extin guished the flames. ANOTHER FIRE.—The alarm pf fire on Wednesday morning about 9 o'clock, was caused by the burning of a barn on James street, north of Mulberry street. The barn belonged to Messrs. Woodward it Coonly, coal dealers, and was entirely consumed; the flames from the barn were communi cated to three one-story frame dwellings on the opposite side of the street; two of these wore considerably injured by the fire and the other damaged by the water. Notwith standing the bad condition of our streets, the firemen were promptly on hand with their engines and soon succeeded in check ing the further progress of the flames. The barn is said to have been insured for $6OO, THE EXPERIMENTAL FARM.—The "Mod el and E xperi manta l Farm" at West Grove, Chester county, has been completely organ ized, and will be ready to commence opera tions upon the first opening of spring. Thos. M. Harvey has been appointed superinten dent of the farm. The West Chester Record says Mr. H. is a scientific as well 149 practi cal farmer, a fruit grower of large expe rience, and is in every way eminently qaulitied for this important position The immediate controlling, management of the farm has been vested in a local executive committee, consisting of the President of the Society cx officio, Vice President Thos. J. Edge, Job H. Jackson, Thos. Gawthrop and B. J. Passmore, who will report month ly to the Managers of the Society. A large " Advisory Committee," to beselected from among the best farmers of the county, will visit the farm officially every two weeks, in sub-committees of three, and report their views and suggestions to the President. Under such a practical and able organiza tion the farm cannot fail to be operated successfully.—lnquirer. OUR NEW HOSPITAL APPRECIATED.--The Commissioners of Bucks county, accom panied by their clerk, recently visited the alms-houses of Lancaster and Berks coun ties, and the State Insane Asylum at Har risburg, with the view of getting the best information in regard to the subject. They have since decided upon building the hos pital after the plan of that now in use in Luuca,ter county.—Examiner. TIIE Finfi.—The stable belonging to Mr. D. P. Locher, situated in the alley in the rear of his residence in East King street caught fire last evening about 8 o'clock. The fire was estinguised, however, before it had made any progress by persons who were present immediately after its dis covery. —Since writing the above, we have learn ed that the lire originated through the ex plosion of a coal oil lamp, which a colored man in the employ of Mr. Locher, had taken to the stable. He had placed it near some hay, and turned away to do some thing. Several persons living in the alley discovered the flames, and raised the alarm, when the darkey returned, and pinking up the bundle of burning hay, carried it into the yard, very luckily without any injury to himself. There were at the time four horses and a cow in the sts4le. STATE ARSENAL GUARDED.—The Har risburg Patriot and Union of yesterday states, that on last Saturday night, guards with muskets and bayonets, dressed in Uncle Sam's full regimentals, paraded to and fro at the State Arsenal in the Capitol grounds. The why and wherefore of a soldier guard at the building could not be ascertained, but most probably the autho rities have a fear of the nitro-glycerine man. MAsoxic.—The consecration of the Vans Masonic Lodge, at Hamburg, Berks coun ty, on to-morrow, the 16th inst., promises to be the grandest Masonic demonstration yet had in thi,s State. Twenty-one Lodges have been invited to attend. About fifty brethren, called from the different Lodges, will act as Grand Officers for the day. The musical portion of the ceremonies has been thoroughly rehearsed and will be rendered by twelve of the best choristers belonging to the order. The ceremonies at St. John's Church will be very imposing. The music for the occasion will also be given by the Masonic brethren.—Reading Gazette. IMPORTANT REVENUE DECISION.—Au exchange paper says the Commissioner of. Internal Revenue has recently made a de cision which is of great importance to busi ness men. It is that every change in a firm by which a member retiree from the same, whether a new partner takes his place or the surviving partner continues the business alone, or by which a former proprietor disposes of his entire business and a successor takes his place, constitute alike, in contemplation of the law, a new person or firm, liable to special tax for the balance of the year for which tax has once been paid by the original firm or owner. No provision of law exists in relation to special tax receipts similar to that which formerly admitted of the transfer of a li cense from one person or firm to a succes sor, by endorsement of the Collector. Ice IN THE SusoIIEHANNA.—A corres pondent of the Baltimore Sun, writing from Port Deposit states that the ice broke up there on last Thursday and continued to run and gorge all that night and the follow ing day. At every gorge the water would back and rise, and several limes it looked very much like overflowing the principal street, but fortunately got vent, and passed out without doing serious damage. The boom piers stood the test well, and the rail road bridge at Havre de Grace stood up de fiantly against the immense pressure; the iron-clad piers separating the large sheets of solid ice, which were rolled and tossed against them. This bridge has now been severely tested, and scarcely any doubt can be entertained of its ability hereafter to re sist the breaking up of the ice in the Sus quehatum, We notice from our ncr the river ex changes, that the amount of ice on the river this spring is very great; but the general impression seems to be that it is passing off in such a manner as not to cause any great freshet. It is to be hoped that such will be the case. HIGH WATER AT SAFE IfAnnon.—The ice on the Susquehanna having become gorged at McCall's Ferry, has occasioned quite a freshet at Safe Harbor. Yesterday evening the mail-had to be taken in a boat from the Rolling Mill to the Post Office, a distance of a quarter of a mile, the water on the turnpike being six. feet in depth.- The masses of ice floating down the river 'are of great size, some of them being more than 31 feet in thickness, thus fully attesting the severity of the past winter. The river at McCall's ferry Is t less than a quarter of a mile in width, the passage of ice is therefore im peded and consequently becomes gorged ; the current is now obstructed in this man ner from the above plan to Turkey Hill falls. The amount of injury done to prop erty by this freshet cannot be ascertained until the waters subside, it is hoped how ever that no material damage has been sue twined. A telegram in this monsing'sState Guard states that the ice at Williamsport on the dam has given way, and is now go ing down the river. The back water was fourteen feet deep. EtmorED.—Wm. L. Garrett, formerly of Willistown twp., Chester County, has been elected Sheriff of Lawrence county, Ala bama, by the negroes.

Popular' legends have ascribed to this good man many miraculous achieve ments; among which was the banishment of all. enomous reptiles from .Ireland by Means of a crosier, or staff which is said to have been preserved with greatvenerationin Dublin as lataas the year 1360. According to the best authorities the life of Saint Pat rick was a - vary eventful one; some writers state that be was born in Gaul in 373, but the greater number agree that he was born at, tbe mouth of Clyde in Scotland in 372, and died at Down, in Ulster about the ytar 464. In the year 432 he began his mission ary labors in Ireland, and preached the Gospel , with wonderful effect. While preaching to the Irish, he used the sham rock or clover with its three leaves on one stem to illustrate the Trinity, this accounts for its adoption by the Irish nation as,its emblem. Perhaps no missionary ever ac- Deaths. compliahed a greater work than St. Patrick, or one more productive of good results; his DEirovrt.—On 13th inst., in this city, Henry life was passed in a rude age, and is con- Demuth, In the gith year of his age. sequently much obscured by tradition but Grranssica.—On the Ilth inst., in this city the good effects caused by his preaching ; Ed t r y beth z. wlfeo a fAbraham Gundaker, In the her Be. will continue forever.

NEW PATENT.-Mr. Jacob Stehman, of this city, has just received letters patent for an improved mode of printing photographs, called the "Cabinet portrait style,"dated the 10th day of March, 1888. This mode produces a new style of photograph pic tures, presenting a beautifully graduated halo around the figure, reversing the "vig nette style" by having the outer edges dark, from any desired shade to a Jet black, in stead of the glowing white margin so easily soiled, and inclined to tdrn into u dirty yel lowish color in time. By this means the most beautiful effects can be produced, and varied at pleasure, to form a new style of Cabinet pictures, highly appreciated by persons of taste. Obtained through the agency of J. Stauffer, of this city. PRILADZLIOIIA, March 17.—Cotton quiet; small sales at 25@2'530.
