The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger gives the following account of the gigantic fraud which was perpetrated by connivance of Radical mem bers of Congress, when the whiskey tax was reduced: Washington, l-Yb. .7, Ibtj-i. A committee of whiskey dealers were to day before the Wavs and Means Committee urging an extension of time lor removing whiskey in bond, which by the present law is to bo removed on or before April 20th. 1809. In this connection it may lie well to correct rny paragraph of Monday last, wherein it was set forth tiiat the receipts of Internal Revenue received under tho re duced lax of fifty cents per gallon exceed those of a corresponding period when tax was two dollars per gallon. Thin statement, without explanation, is calculated to mis lead. Tho receipts for tie* period indicated, it should be borne in mind, are not for whisky manufactured during Unit space of time, but are ior tax ou whisky accumulated during several years in bond, having been there placed by many who, under the old law, had been engag'd in evading and re fusing to pay the tax. The amount of re ceipts recently, instead of showing a favor able condition of things lor the Government, show Just the reverse—the Government should have received many millions of dollars more. The reduction of the tax on whisky in bond was a part 61 the scheme of n special whisky nng, promoted, it is alleged, by members of Congress, w,,0 were in the secret. The operations of me ring were on tbegrande.-t scale kn i\vn iu history. It will be remembered that during nil the early period of last session of Congress, it wa- given out by members who, from (heir position, were supposed to in* authorized to speak for that body, that there would be no reduction ot' the lax, and He* Committee of Ways and Means hud reported that there should bo no reduction. During sill tliis time the grand managers of tho scheme, knowing what v. a-, to come, purchased nearly ail tlu* whiskey in bond,' amounting to fifteen millions of gallons, paying fur it prices ranging iioiti five to fifteen cents per gallon. When these pur chases werocompleted it was announced in tin* House of Representatives that the tux was to be red mad not only on what was to he made in future, but on what was in bond, which ulieady the Government held lor lax. The price of bonded whiskey at mice ad vanced to jfixly and sixty-live cents, thus netting to the nng-the purchasers of bonded whiskey—-about eight millions of dollars, which was divided among the mii.-u t manip ulators of the scheme. llow many members of Congress re ceived dividends in this gigantic trick will probably never ho trutbluily made known. Olio Jof tin* ring, already a million aire iu New York, added two millions to ins fortune. Instead of this reduction of tax being a groat gain tothc Government, it wa-ra monstrous 10-s. If this whisky had paid two dollars lax as it should have done, it would have produced for the Treas uiy thirty millions of dollars instead of seven or eight millions, which is claimed by i In* schemers to be such a large advantage to the Government. More oi the specific facts ot tins huge speculation are forth coming. State E.oun Job. A year or so ago a portion of the State Bonds matured, and the Radical offi cials gave notice of the fact, ami asked proposals for a new loan to take up the old one. The Governor, Auditor Gen eral, ami State Treasurer attended to this job, and a nice one it was. We liud for advertisements concern ing the State loans the bills paid to var ious papers for advertising alone was OOJ.hi.*. Then W. 11. Kemble late State Treasurer, paid for extra services to persons about the State loans (he has his corps of clerks remember, which cost the State sS,7T>.:>b per annum.) Mr. I\entitle extra—then Mr. Kem ble had another $7Ud for “ traveling ex penses,” (we suppose going from Phila delphia, where he lived, to Harrisburg where his office was !) ami then, we find that for services to the State in the “ Stock Department of that Bunk” the Farmers’ and Mechanics’ Bank ofPhil adelphia, was paid for services in 18(57 and 18(18, the sum of $l2,i)UO! Wc do not exactly know, but fairly presume that this last item was earned in help ing the State officers to manipulate the State Loan, and the items would stand thus : For advertising !IG To Kemble for extra services 2,000 00 To Kemble lor traveling ex ponses 700 00 To F.

Bank, would have distributed ; the loan pretty well at good prices for the State. But’it is said that, after all, Jay Cooke & Co., had to take eleven millions of it themselves!

Tut-: InC’KNIUARY ol - Till: CHILDRKN’S 1 IoMK Arrested.—On complaint of Ellen j Spence, Matron of the Children's Home, in ! tliis city, one of tbe inmatesjof the Home, a i girl named Elleu Doyle, was on Saturday arrrested by Officer Mattcrn, and on being brought before Mayor Sanderson confessed to having made the attempt on Tuesday evening, the 2d inst., to lire the Home building, tho particulars of which attempt have already been published in tho City papers ; and also that on Friday evening about 7 o’clock she made a second attempt to fire the building, by plaeingfa rag satur ated with coal oil in tho barrel of coal oil which was in the cellar, and then set fire to ono end of tbe,rag intending in this manner to set fire to the coal oil, and by its explosion insure the complete and speedy destruction of the building aud its many little inmutes. Tho light made by the burning of tlie rag was Jortunatcly discovered by the matron in time to extinguish tbe Humes before they j had reached the coal oil in the barrel, and i thus providentially a serious fire was pre- j vented nnd the lives of many innocent little j i children preserved. Tho girl has been an I , nmate of the Home for tho past two years, j ! nnd h(?r conduct, until her recent attempts at incendiarism, lias not been bad. We|are I informed that she was formerl}' from ('ot- j umbia, this county. The girl us rather tine 1 looking and her countenance does not indi- i ! cate thut she could be guilt}' of such a wick- ; 1 ed act as she confesses she attempted to 1 commit. On being asked her age by the Mayor she repliod that she was l.'» or hi I years old ; on being queMimied whether 1 she thought of the loss of life that must I ensue in case she hail succeeded in igniting the barrel of con) oil she replied, “ I did not think of that.” Upon being n.-ked if she lmd anything to say why she tried to lire the building she replied, “ 1 did it; I don’t , know why.” She was consequently com i milled by His Honor to prison to await her trial at the next Court of Sessions in default of §lOOO bail. During the Whole time of her cxainina , lion before the Mayor aud during her part -1 ing with the Ladies of the Homo sin* re mained entirely mdifi'erem, and did not display the least emotion or excitement, and at tho conclusion of these proceedings accompanied Officer Mnttern to the Prison I without tho least hesitation, and with as | light a step and as quiet a demeanor us if I she was taking a promeuacle. Sad Accident. —Willi* O. Frantz, aged about 11 years,son of Henry L. Frantz, de ceased, was on .Saturday lust at the resi denceofSimon liostetter, in Warwick twp., terribly injured by a threshing machine. Tiio boy was standing uear the machine, whon the threshing was neuriy over and there was remaining but a few sheaves, when in some unaccountable manner bis right arm wua caught by the belt ofthe ma chine and iustautly torn off about three inches above the elbow. The supposition is that tho boy was caught at tho hand, as he was near the pulley, and as the arm was broken at three places; the arm was whirled around the pulley' until entirely stripped of clothing. Toe wound was dressed in a very successful manner by the attending physicians, Drs. Bowman and Sheuk, and the boy is getting along very . well under the circumstances. Lancaster County MedicalSocikty.— At a recent meeting of tbe Lancaster Coun ty Medical Society the following gentlemen were elected officers of the association for tho ensuing year, ISG9: President, Dr. Samuel T. Davis; Vice Presidents. Dr. F. G. Albright and Dr. B. Leaman ; Record ing Secretary, Dr. George A. King ; Corres ponding Secretary, Pr. A. J. Herr; Treas urer and Librarian, Dr. J. A. Ehler. At the same time the following gentlemen w r ere elected Delegates to represent the As sociation at the meeting of the American Medical Association which convenes in New Oilmans, La , on the first Tuesday of May next: Drs. John Ream, H. Carpenter, John L. Atlee, Sr., B. Leaman, J. A. Ehler, S T. Davis, and F. G. Albright. Soldiers’ Orphans’ Schools.—The number of children iu the Soldiers’ Or- S bans’ School ut Mount Joy on tbe 30th of ovember last, as shown by the books of the School Department, was 200, of which number 75 were females; the number of such children in the Home in this city, at tbe same date, was 90, of which number 36 were females; the number of such children in the St. James’, Orphan Asylum, this city, was 15, all of them being femalea. Inquisition ok Lunacy.—On Friday afternoon an Inquisition was held before Judge Libhart, in tho Orpbuus’ Court Room, iu tho matter of Mrs. Catherine Henderson, Mrs. Amanda Cullen appel lant, iu which Mr«. Henderson was charged with being an insane woman. Mrs, Hen derson is a widow woman and is well known to many of tho citizens of Lancas ter ou account of her siugulur habits of lilt* atul her peculiar nml eccentric manner of dress. The appellant, Mrs. Cullen, resides in Pluonixville, Chester county, and is the only child of the respondent, Mrs. Hen derson. The counsel lor appellant, Messrs. : W. V,'. Drown and A. J. Sanderson, culled over twenty witnesses to prove the insaniiv of M rs. liendersou. The evidence showed that Mrs. JL was about f>6 years of age, and ha* been a resident of this city lor the past 2t* years ; that she owns a val uable house and lot in West Walnut street, this city, the house being a two-story brick structure, and the lot in size about Gl feet front and t>! feet deep. The witnesses for appellant aNo testified that the abovo house had been permitted by Mrs. Henderson lo go to wreck, and that it was now in a most i dilapidated condition, untenable, and con- I sequently afforded no income for itsowner ; ! but that it' it was put in proper condition for occupancy i: would yield an annual income ofSJOo which would bo sufficient to main tain Mrs. II.; the witnesses also testified that Hie had a most unaccountable* dislike for some persons without any good reason existing for tho same ; aud that she was ex tremely abusive of all those whom sin* dis liked and would vilify and abuse tbetn i whether they wore living or dead. It was Iso given in.evideuce that she would insult people and whip children without any rea son ; moreover, that sho would entice little children from their homes and take them with her about the street*, which she was accustomed to walk with her clothing lorn into shr< ds and her person in an extremely filthy condition. The counsel for app>*llaot gave an elaborate definition of insanity and i argued that the evidence dearly showed j that Mr.-. Henderson was an insane person, 1 and therefore unfit to take proper care of | herself or her property. Among the wit | ness examined on behalf of appellant were Col. D. Miles, Mayor. Sanderson. George K. Reed, Fred. Gemperling, Mr. Roehtn, and ! Officers Flory nnd Krause of the Police—all I of whom testified that they belivvtd Mr*. ! Henderson to be insane. The pany appellate. Mrs. Henderson was represented by 'Wm. A. Atl.ee, Esq., and a uumuer of wiinp**es were examined to slew that-she was cap-tble of managing her own affairs. The'deiYnre alleged that she was an t c. entric woman, that her man ner oi dress and that her conduct were somewhat anomalous, but that she was not insane and was capable of taking care of her property. It was argued that she was a persecuted woman ; that six* was not properly taken rare of inker rights, and that when walking the streets the boys an noyed her. Also, that she had a good memory, was conversant with the Scrip tures, and possessed a good knowledge of all important events that transpired.— Among tho witnesses called on the'part fit the defence were J. M. Westbueffer, Mr. Parry and J. 13. flood, E*q. On Saturday, Messrs. Henry Wolf, John Porwart, Jacob Dorwart, Jacob K. G< od, Albert N- Eckert, Simpson Preston, and 17. I), lloutbjhe gentlemen selected to heurtbe testimony # uud to inquire whether Mrs. Henderson *is co?/i/>os mentis or non compos mentis, returned as their opinion, formed from the testimony presented, that the said Catherine Henderson is nof a Lunatic, and is consequently capable of taking care of herself and of her property. School Matters.—We clip the following from the School Journal: The School Department has granted a permanent certificate lor teaching to Christian B. Eugle, of Mount Joy, this county. East Lampeter and Paradise townships have Districtbuperintendents. The schools are regularly visited by them, aud are im proving. list Lampeter has erected a double house and established a graded school. West Cocalico is improving. The fine new houses put up during the summer and fall are well arranged and substantial. The triennial conventions to elect county superintendents will be hold the present yeur on Tuesday, the 4th of May. Prior to that time a circular letter will be issued from the School Department, stating in full the qualifications required by law to make a person eligible to the office of coun ty superintendent, and the intellectual and moral qualifications desirable in one who fills the office. Something may be added also in reference to the proper mode of con ducting the election. He.vrtii and Home.—Edited by Donald G. Mitchell and Harriet Beecher Stowe, No. 8, now ready und lor sale by all news dealers, is an extra number. Every person buying a copy of this number will receive with it a copy of a fine engraving from a recent German picture entitled “ The Pet of the Village.” It is printed on a separate sheet of thick, tinted paper, and is a “ Val entine” from the publishers to the readers of Hearth and Home. No. 8 also contains a first page Valentino picture by Nast; a fowl Valentine, by Hockstein; and the usual variety and excellence in all departments* Price 10 cents. We have received a copy of this pretty picture which represents a group of children engaged in the innocent sport of wheeling about on a barrow a younger companion, who is considered “The Pet,” and from which the picture is named. i Conjugation—Ho*/ it is practised in Lancaster Counly.~ The age of superstition baa not entirely' parsed away. . Even in Lancaster county with its boosted intelli gence, its academies, and numerous public schools, there still remains amoog its peo ple a great deal of superstition. The belief in witchcraft is still er|.ertained by many— but the belief that suae persons can cure diseases by words ant)cbarms,or rather by magic, prevails to a inch greater extent. In a certain village, less than half a score of miles from this city; resides a mulatto woman, who pretends lo be able to core by conjuration “all ilia that tbo flesh is heir to,” even lo cause tbe blind to see and the deaf to hear. Her manner of effecting a cure of her patients may not be uninterest ing to those of our readers vho are not fa miliar with this method of “ healing the sick.’’ The swarthy Doctre>s or “ Witch” places her hand uponlhe aflieted part of tbo patient, then gently rubs ovtr it either three or nine times repealing inaudible the mys tic words or charm which is to produce tbe mirnculous cure; while she is performing t'ds operation neither tbe pttient, ncr any one present is permitted to speak a word, otherwise the charm would be of no avail and would have to be repeated to be effect ual. As tbe words which she uses can not be heard, we do not positively know what they are, but havingseeu several conjurer’s books, we could make a very go>d guess. These books were with oue exception all published iuGermany, nearl.vtwO'*enluries ago, and have been handed down from lather to son as great treasures. They are very scarce; are entitled “i)ic Heilig Kttnsl" \ (The Holy Art), and are valued very highly by their lortunatd (?) possessors. There are , several these books all cuntuin- j ing nearly the same matter, viz: charms I for curing ail kinds of diseases, for allaying i pain, stopping a flow of blood, compelling \ thieves to return stolen articles, preventing j witches from having power over us, etc. These books enjoin ail persons, into whose hands they may fall, not to pervert the in formation contained iu them to evil pur poses. That such vile conjurations are still prac tised iu Lancaster county is a disgrace to tbo present age. And yet this female con jurer has many patients not only among the most ignorant but also among those oi our people who claim to possess some iutelli geuce. People flock to her from fur and near. A short time after she comuieuced practising the black art, which was some years ago, her house was thronged with patients from morning .until evening; it being diflicult for them all to obtain an audience with her. Since then, however, her practice Has dwindled down consider ably, verjjfew persons going to her home in the village where she resides. But she now bps rf'roorn at a certain hotel in this city, where she spends Wednesday of every week and where those of her putiems, to whom that is more,convenient than her place of residence, visit her. We some times hear of cures effected by her, which, il true, might be termed miracles; they are, however, always at a distance from home and upon persons unknoivn. Herpracliceat present in her own neighborhood is limited to pov-'-u'uu'ing for headache, toothache, Ac., aud so strongps 4 the faith of many that they really imagine they have l*wu relieved through her manipulations. Without faith, however, she asserts there can he no cure. She also claims to be able to compel thieves to return stolen articles and to hu\ »• power over witches. While there are not many, but still some Persons, who believe that this tlark sorcer ess is able to do u/Z that she claims—there are a great many persons ignorant and superstitious enough to believe that she eau do some of the mysterious things claimed to be performed by her. That any of the citi zens of Lancaster county should believe in 4-iich contemptible mummeries is surprising when we consider the opportunities they enjoy of obtaining information. But the facts are as we have stated them, und they dearly indicate that a large proportion oi our people are incapable of thinking for themselves, and are consequently the vic tims of their incorrect notions and the will ing dupes of pretenders and demagogues. Regulations fob Lent.—To-morrow is Ash-Wednesday, the lirst clay of Lent. Bishop {Shanahan bus issued the follow ing circular in reference to the observance of the season : 1. All tho faithful who have completed them wen tv-first year, are unless legitimate ly dispeused, bound lo observe the Fast of Lent. They aro to make only one meal a day, excepting Sundays. J, The meal allowed on last days is not to he taken till about noon. At that uieiM, if on any day permission should be granted for eating flesh, both flesh aud lish are not i to be used at the time, even by way of . seasoning. ' -PA small refreshment cpmuionly called j collation, is allowed in the evening; no [ general rule as to the quantity of food per i milled at this lime is or can be made But J tne practice of the most regular Christian is never to Jet il succeed tbo fourth part of an ordinary meal. 5. The quality of food allowed at a colla tion is, iu this uioceso, bread, butler, cheese, all kinds of fruits, salads, vegetable, and lUh. Milk und eggs are prohibited, t). General usage has made it lawful to i drink in the morning some warm liquid, I as tea, coffee’or thiu chocolate, made with water. 7. Necessity and custom have authorized tho use of hog’s lard instead of butter iu preparing fish, vegetables, Ac. S. The following persons aro exempted from tbe obligations of lasting: Young persons under twenty-one years of age. the sick, nursing women, those who are obliged to dojhurd labor, all who, through weak ness, cannot^ last without great prejudice lu thoir health. (>. By dispensation 'the use of flesh-meat will be allowed at auy timo on Sundays, and once a. day on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays ami Saturdays, with the excep tion of Holy Thursday, and the second and last Saturdays of Leut. IL). Persons dispensed from the obligation of la-ting on account of tender or advanced age, or hard labor, are not bound by tbe restriction of using meat only at one meal on days on which ns use is granted by dis pensation. Others dispensed from the fast for other causes, as welt as those who are obliged to fast, are permitted to u«e meat only at one meal. Struck ky Lightning.—During the heavy thunder storm that passed over this section, Wednesday evening, the lightning struck a frame houso and a barn, in Cones toga Centre, this county, owned by Mr. Collins McLaughlin, aud occupied by Mr, ( fforge Benedict. The electric lluid played some queer capers. It struck both house and barn at the same time, although they aro ii distance of 20 yards or more apart. It passed down through the middle of the house, and also knocked oil" tho top of the chimney aud lore both gable ends consid erably. At tbe burn, it tore off’ a few boards' not doing much damage however. Mrs. Benedict, who was at the time attending to her household duties, was kuocked down and stunned by the force of the shock; and a small child, which Mr. Collins Mc- Laughlin, who resides with Mr. Benedict, was nursing, was stunned in his arm*. Both the mother and the child soou re covered, neither of them having been struck by the electi ic current, but only stunned by the violonce of the shock. There were also several trees in the same neighborhood struck by the lightning. This is very un usual in the winter. PnoTVNKD.—John Fitzpatrick, son of Bernard Fuzpatriek, of tho Third Ward, of ibis city, enlisted in the early part of the recent war, in the United States Marine Corps. Not having heard from his son from the time of his enlistment, Mr. Fitz patrick wrote to tbe Secretary ofthe Navy, Llyu, Gideon Welles, staling all the facts connected with his son’s enlistment and asking information respeetinghim. A Jew days ago Mr. Fitzpatrick received a letter from the Navy Department informing him that his son John Fitzpatrick was drowned in May isdfi. while on duly oil the .Southern coast of the United States, New Patent.—Harris Boardman, of Rockland Mills, has just received letters patent dated Feb. 2d, 1809, for valuable im provements on machines Jor making all kinds of cord, twine or ropes. The im provement embraces several irnp.trtuni features, such as centralizing the confin its delivery lo the roller over which it is cur ried lo the reel, securing a smooth and uni form twist of high finish, and Iheautomnlic action lor stopping the machine wuen u single thread breaks on its passage from any of the bobbins, and in a various way to simplify and perfect the machinery so as to produce the most perfect work with speed and certaiuty; it is easily managed, and can be made comparatively cheap. Ob tained through the agency, of J. Stauffer, of this city. " Going West.—The Oxford Press says that the following persons intend selling out and starting West'at an early day : “Joseph Shellender, Joshua Kckman, Edward Evans, Harvey Uastings und Robert F. Richardson, all of Colerain town ship, Lancaster county, —the three former expect .to locate in Kansas, Mr. Hastings in Illinois and Mr. Richardson iu Missouri. James W. Scott, of West Not tingham, Chester county, aLo intends to remove to Missouri. William Robinson, ot Little Britain, intends to go to Illinois to seek a home.” Number ok Snows.—Mr. G. T. Zuhm, of this city, informs the Express , that twenty one snows, aggregating tourteen and a half inches in depth, have fallen this winter; and that up to the same period last year snows fell twenty times, the depth of which amounted to thirty-four and a half inches. Sound Agricultural Reading.—Manv of our farmers do not take a single agricul tural paper. This is not right. Every farmer who loyes his calling, should at least take one agricultural paper; and among tbe best that lies upon our table is tbe Agriculturist and Farm Journal , pub lished at Pittsburg, Pa., by J. M. & G. D. Kuester, at§l per year. It is full of practi cal sayings and is highly spoken of by the agricultural journals and the press gener ally. It is conducted by practical farmers who know how to place sound teachings before their readers. Prices Lower,—Our exchanges state that the prices of horses and cattle, at the country sales recently held, have ranged considerably lower than they did at this time last year; and that produce of all kinds also sells at much lower prices. The Managers of the Home Building Fund respectfully acknowledge the follow ing: Amount previously acknowledged $15,339 27 M..Zellenbach, California 20 00 Licenses Gbanted. —The Court yester day beard the applications for licenses.
