Washington Correspondence of the Cincinnati
Commercial, Jlarch 5.
Instigated by the devil, and persuaded by
two angelic faoes, I went to this most beastly
exhibition of all that disfigured the inaugu
ration of Gen. Grant. Into the narrow cor
ridors and small rooms of the Treasury was
packed to suffocation a crowd of meu and
women, pushing, struggling, fainting, and
almostflghtlDg. Overtwo thousand tickets
had been sola, and each, .ticket !averaged
three people. There were men in swallow
tailed coats, with chokers, and tight
breeches, and women in all sorts of cos
tumes, of which the bare neck and arms
wilh immense trails predominated.
We climbed four flights of stairs to the
ladies’ dressing-rooms and geqtlemen’s
cloak-rooms. We gave—unsuspecting mor
tals as wo were—our coats and hats to the
reconstructed, receiving a piece of paste
board, with a number on it, in exchange.
A dark suspicion crept over my prophetic
soul that I had parted with my coat and tile
forever. Sandwiched between two lovely
females, I began the descent. A stream of
humanity was rushiDg up the winding
stuir—a stream of humanity was pouring
down; and, by the watch, it took me one
hour to reach the last step at the bottom.
Here we fell into a tide setting heavily
westward, a good deal agitated by a stream
of stout policemen, cotton-gloved colored
waiters, and some feeble-minded young
men, with hair parted in the middle, that
made a pretty stroDg current setting to the
oast. For half an hour I and my convoy
whirled in au eddy, caused by a projection
at a comer. Escaping from this wo fell
into mid-stream, and made steady but slow
progress.
' I suppose that by morning'we might have
reached tbo end of the corridor, had wo not
encountered a cross sea, made up of the
diplomatic corps and some military pumps,
that carried us into a reception-room where
tbo President and family stood firm.
Against these we were dashed with great
violence, made more fearful by a stout man
who bawled out, “Don’t shake bands, don’t
shako bands,” as the President and Vico
President kept violating this order. I could
not understand tbo meuoing of it, unless
tho man was the court physician, and
feared we or Gen. Grant would catch the
Itch.
This was varied by weak females in light
dresses faintingfit intervalsofiive minutes.
And the character of the officials may be
gatborod from a conversation I board be
tween tho husband of u lady ill from the
heat and fatigue, and a functionary. Ho
hud carried her out, and fortunately found
a vacant space in a hall, where there was a
little fresh air, find while lie held her up
some servants passed wilh chairs. *
Ho inude an earnest appeal for one of
these, but the stupid fellows refused. At
hist ho seized one, and was about seating
Jiis with, when an ulliciul oiunu at him, de- i
mantling the chair. Tho poor man explain
ed, but tho follow replied that ho had his
orders—tiio chairs were needed for another !
purpose. Tho husband bade his wife sit
down, and then said:
“ Now, if you take tlujt chair, vmi must
tako It from under my wife, and'l hardly
think that will ho a healthy proceeding.”
“ Von can gain your purpose in tlmi
way,” exclaimed the follow, white with 1
rage, “ but if your wife is sick you lmd bet- ■
ter take her home.” i :
“ You are an insolent, hound,” roared tho
husband, “ and if you will give me your
address I’ll smash your dirty mouth to
morrow, wnmi there are no women to i»ro
loctyou.”
I was told that tho scone in tho supper
xoorn beggared description. Thu doors
wore opened to tho entire crowd, and in two
minutes the rooms were pnclu»d to sufiora
lion. To iat was impossible. J’.ut to stir
tip tho temper and destroy drossoi was tho
rule.
Thu long trails, of rich material, sutl'ercd
at (>very step. While trying to get to tho
supper room, I felt, for some time under
my loot, what seemed to he a suit carpet. 1
found, in a few minutes, that it was tho
trail of a lady some* distance in ndvaneo.
What guys women can make nt themselves
when Ihoy try. 1 sawsomeyouthfnl female
donkeys, with their beads plastered over

When fit last, tired and disgusted, we

two days. I'ytmo.lWv, after invading tho {

did not take ibis d —n town and burn it to

ing so. It is mi infernal sink-bole of iniqui
ty, depending for its miserable existence on
the Government.”
I left the venerable philosopher lament
ing what an extraordinary fact it was that
ho lost Ids old white hat. I had an idea, in
common' with tho pensive public, that it
non hi not be lost. I believed he could not
.sell it if he were to try. He could not give
it or throw it away, and hero it was lost in
n cloak room.
This event impressed mo deeply, I went
homo in tho cold without hat or overcoat,
in tho bitter cold, but I ruminated, I mar
velled and wondered, and ull last night I
dreamed that the venerable Horace was a
ferry-boat and I steered him.
Ijo-'t Ids old white hat!
Uranr.s First Retreat.
- "Mm:,” tho Washington correspondent of
Hie Cincinnati ICvquircr, says:
For the first timu since his appearance
upon (he public stage, (Jen. Grant found
hihiself, a few days ago, in a nosition which
ho could not hold by the sacritice id' ten or
littoen thousand lives, and he had to make
what, may bo called his first rotreat. Singu
lar that there should he such unfortunate
results to the lirst onieial act of his life,
which could not bo seconded by tho butch
ery of a few brigades or divisions. An net
in Ins military career corresponding to tho
faux, pun of Stewart's appointment would
not have retarded his progress a moment.
It would only Intvo called forth thate.xhibi
lion of genius andeourage which, in mili
tary men, is supposed to consist in tho in
difference with which they can see regi
monl.s and brigades mowed down; and tin*
country, after reading how daringly he had
recovered his lost ground at tho trilling
sacrifice of.ua? thousand killed and wound
ed, would have voted him a greater
General than ever. But, unfortunately
for tho new President, llio policy of
"attrition,” which ho declared his hivor
itoin tho art of war, could not ho applied
to the first political blunder of his civil ad
ministration. "My cat’s got tho longest
tail,” said he, amid tho carnage of tho Wil
derness. And so long ns the sturdy man
hood oi the Xortli were willing to contribute
to Uip length oi that “tad,” so long success,
through "attrition,” was certain. The blood
of the soldier makes theginrv of the G,n
eral. But when President Gram under
took to measure "tails” with Congress he
found his cat’s tail was a liule too short,
and in less than a week after his inaugura
tion he had to beat his lirst reheat. This is
tho only true coiislruelion to put upon the
.Stewart faux j>n.s Had he withdrawn the
nomination upon finding his appointee dis
qualified, tlie .mistake might oasilv have
been overlooked. But he raised a direct
issue with Congress by asking a repeal of
the law of 17SP to legalize his blunder. The
.Senate shook in sycophantic tremor as John
•Shennau asked its cowardly acquiescence,
under Sutnuer’s feeble courage it rallied,
and ii day'ii rellection made it defiantly
brave. Mr. Stewart "declines,” and re

and instantly killed this morning, Wallace
applied for admission into a Masonic loffi'e
at Warrenton, and was blackballed by I)V.
G. W. Darden, who promised not to oppose
his application. Wallace then attacked
I Darden through the columns of his paper,
denouncing him as a liar and villain. As
Wallace was passing Darden’s office he shot
him from his window with a riile, the ball
passing through Wallace’s head, causing
instant death. The affair causes intense
excitement in Warrenton. Wallace was a
Democrat; Darden a Republican

men; who took him some distance from
town and shot him to death.
Augusta, Ga„ March l*!.—The particu

which resulted in the killing of Wallace by
Darden, and subsequently the killing of
Darden by disguised parlies, show that both
Wallace and Darden were Democrats, and
that the.whole affair was purely of a per
sonal nature, originating first in a private
quarrel between the friends of Wallace and
Darden, which was carried into the Masonic
Lodge, where, it is alleged, Darden black
balled Wallace, for which the-latter de
nounced the former as a liar and scoundrel
on publication of which, it is alleged, Dar

White Man for Governor and a Negro
for Lieutenant Governor.
Petersburg, March 9,1689.
This morning the Republican State
Nominating Convention met in the African
Methodist churob, on Main street, about
one hundred and twenty 'delegates being
present. These were- divided into two
cliques, one in the, interest of Governor
Wells and the James H.
Clements, of Portsmouth, for the Gover
norship, in opposition to Wells. Last night
and during the entire morning there was
every indication of a stormy session, be
cause of the deadly hatred of opposing
factions. Parly in the day charges of cor
ruption and mail robbery against bis Ex
cellency Governor Wells had been pub
lished aDd freely circulated, and this added
to the excitement of the occasion. At 12
M. the Convention was called fq order by
Dr, Gilmor, Chairman of the Republican
State Executive Committee, following
which George Tuokor was nominated
as temporary chairman by the Clem
ents faction. A Mr. Jenkins was then
nominated by the Wells clique, and
here the scene commenced. Cries and
yells from the Clements crowd met this an
nouncement, and the ehurch was shortly
afterwards converted into a perfect bedlam.
Motions and countermotions were made, a
majority of all present being on the floor,
yelling and declaiming in a horrible man
ner. Butts, of Norfolk, claimed that Jen
kins was not a delegate, and Samuels, of
Richmond, in a stentorian voice, declared
Tucker elected by acclamation. A vote
was called for, but amid a roar of voices
that drowned every attempt to maintain or
der the motion was overlooked. At this
stage of the proceedings the excitement in
creased to a fearful pitch, and the Wells
men pushed to the rostrum, leaping over
the railing that enclosed it, assaulting the
incumbent of tho chair and others. Men
leaped from the windows, rushed for the
doors, and tho crowd in the galleries de
scended en masse. In a few moments the
place resembled pandemonium, and tho
Muyor came forward with a force
of polico to restore order. After a
while the immediate rostrum was
cleared, but then another attempt to
seat Tucker was made and another tight fol
lowed, a nephew of Joshua R. Giddings us
ing tho cane freoly. Tucker was struck on
the head with a cane. Several members
were beateu In a fearful manner, and the
Mayor at length ordered the church to be
cleared, A Colonel Burkeheroreslsted,and
was arrested by the polico, and daring bis
exist from the church a chorus of yells of
“ Dal’s right ” and “ Don’t let him go,” till
ed the church. All the while tables, benches
and chairs were crowded with m< u on their
foot, and durlngtho whole scene Dr. Sharpe,
(tenoral Grant’s brother-in-law, and Judge
Bond stood in a corner, quietly surveying
the riot. Tho church was cleared by tho
polico, tbo Convention being broken up and
tho party hopelessly split. They reassem
bled tliis evening, but without accomplish
ing any satisfactory results. This will
eventually end in the establishment of a
grand administration party by a coalition
«C tho Clements’ faction with tho native
white republicans.
Upon meeting of tho Convention this
evening tho Mayor and police, at the in
stigation of Judge Bond and Governor
Wells, took entire control of the Convention
and would allow of no organization except
under thoir guidance and partial dictation.
A number of gentlemen prominent in their
opposition to Governor Wells were threat
ened witli arrest unless they kept their
seals.
I , i:tkr>;i:i;iu;, March 10.— In the after
noon session to day there was more excito
rnont. A colored sergeant-at-arms was ap
pointed, against whom a white member
levelled his pistol whlle.ho was attempting
In make an urroMt. He was taken cliargo of
by the police.
A motion to ask tho Mayor to withdraw
the police force was defeated, but that olli
(•(•r shortly alter withdrew the police from
tin* hall.
Tho nominations were then cone into and
resulted as follows:
JI. Jl.AVells, Governor.
i>r. J. D. Harris, negro, Lieut.-Governor.
Thomas K. Bowden, Attorney General.
A. M. Crane, Congressman at large.
I rati or a ln Philadelphia— A
j 'Vomau. Two Children and u Horae
I Killed—One Alan llndly injured.
j From the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
I On Thursday morning, at half-past threo
j o’clock-, an accident happened which has not
| had Us parallel in this city in many years.
1 The residents in tho vicinity of Broad and
Shippon streets, at tho early hour übovo
mentioned, were nroused from their sleep
by a heavy crash, as of fulling timbers.
A German named John Lutz, suspecting
that some accident had occurred, sprang
from his bed, ami on looking through his
bedroom window saw that u small two story
brick and stone house in the rear of Ship
pen and Luil streets had fallen and lay in
ruins on the ground. Dressing himself
hastily he instantly hurried to the house of
the Harmony Fire Engine Company and
aroused the members who wore sleeping
there.
The pjirty relumed to tho scene of the
disusler, und on their arrival were greeted
by thegroans and cries ofsomeone beneath
tho debris. These, k was subsequently as
certained, camo from Gabriel Kidd, an
Irish laborer, who, with his wife and two
children, the occupants of the house, were
all buried in tho masses of tho brick, stone
and lumber of tho building. The men, re
inforced by fresh arrivals (for the news
spread fast even at that early hour), worked
energetically and with the determination to
save life if possible.
After half an hour of incessant labor the
lirst body was reached ; but the cries having
ceased, it was feared that life was extinct.
When, however, the supposed corpse was
removed to a house near by, it was found
to be thehusbandand father, Gabriel Kidd,
yet alive, though dangerously injured. A
further search exposed the lifeless body of
his son, Thomas Kidd, a lad nineteen years
of age. He had evidently been suffocated.
From the neighbors it was ascertained that
two moro persons occupied the house with
the two already rescued, and after another
half hour the bodies of the wife of Mr. Kidd
and hia daughter Margaret, a girl of sixteen
years, were dragged out. In both of tho
latter life also was extinct, and, as in the
case of the son, both had died from sullbca
tion.
The bystanders then Informed tbo -work
men that in the adjacent stable, which was
crushed by tho falling house, a horse was
kept, but after the removal of the ruboish
tho animal was found lying dead, with one
of his limbs broken.
_Tlie reporter of the Telegraph visited Mr.
Kidd, at the Pennsylvania Hospital, and
found him in great agony from hisiujuries,
and quite unable to give any lucid expla
nation of the disaster. He states that about
three o’clock, as near as ho can judge, he
was awakened by a sound resembling the
rumbling of a great mimbor'wheelbarrows,
and then felt himself sinking downward.
He became senseless, but soon revived to
find himself on his bed pinned down by
heavy joists and only ablo to move his
head. He shouted for help as long as he
was able, and then again became senseless
until removed by tbe firemen and neigh
bors. He also states that ho know the house
to be in an unsafe condition and had di
rected bis wife to request tho owner, a
widow lady named O’Hagan, to have It re
paired, but notwithstanding her promises
to comply sho had failed to do this.
The house fronting on Loil street, south
of the ruined building,is soriously damaged,
and unless torn down it will soon fall.
Mr. Kidd is a man of fifty years of ago,
his wife was of tbe same age, and his son
and daughter were aged respectively nine
teen and sixteen years. An inquest will be
held to-morrow.
Democratic Clnius lu Hew York.
The New York World says: The town
elections now holding initials Stnto show al
most uniform gains for tho Democracy
when compared with tho returns of last
November. Ordinarily, these local con
tests nlay not bo regarded as tests of party
strength upon national issues; but wbero
the changes are so stonily and show them
selves so uniformly in every part of the
State, in Republican as well ns Democratic
localiiks, it would not bo unfair to attribute
them to a strong, if quiet, undercurrent of
dissatifaction with tho rulo of tho dominant
party Of the seventy.three
towns published in our returns this morn
ing, it will bo seen that sixty-four give
Democratic gains and that the percentage
of gain is quite large. The list contains re
turns from all tho town olections h9ld so
far in the State this spring of which we
have received the figures.
Down on Geary.
Tho Evening Telegraphy prominent Radi
cal newspaper, of Philadelphia, closes an
article on Grant with the following para
graph :
“ Governor Geary has manuged, during
bis official torm, to dissatisfy both the poli
ticians and the people, in a vuin effort to
appease both. He has proved a poor poli
tician, and given not a title of evidence that
he (possesses a spark of statesmanship.
Pennsylvania has little cause for pride or
congratulation as she looks back on the long
line of her Governors. If a few good ana
brilliant men are stricken from the list,
Micro is littlo left to raise it up above the
level, of mediocrity; and Geary has done
nothing, as Governor, to distinguish him
sell over the mass of his predecessors.—
Meanwhile, although corruption reeks at
Harrisburg, and the interests of the State
are most shamefully neglected and betray
ed, liis voice has never been heard protest
mg in the clariou tongue that some men
might have made ring throughout the
Commonwealth against this carnival of
folly and fraud.”
Confession and Suicide.
Mrs. Clem was recently convicted of mur
der at Indianapolis, lnd., and sentenced
State prison for life. She was charged with
having killed Jacob Young and his wife,
and robbed her victims of a large amount
of money. Silas Hartman, brother of Mrs.
Clem, who was under arrest as an accom
plice, made a confession a day or two since,
in which he states that Young was killed
by a man named Fiscus, and Mrs. Young
bv a prostitute named Frank Clark. He
also implicates a man named Dorsey, at
whose instigation the murders were com
mitted. i Hartman and Mrs. Clem, accord
ing to the confession, knew of the affair and
received a part of the money. Immediate
ly after making the confession Hartman
committed suicide in his cell.
A man in Newport, N. H., has a good col

A few days ago two meu fired at some
wild ducks in a pond near Kuizlown,
Berks county, whon the ball from one of
their guns glanced from tho water and

400 yards off, causing death in a fow hours.
Patrick M’Kenna, charged with tho em
bezzlement ot the State and county taxes
as collector of the borough of Port Carbon
in ISG7, was tried, convicted and sentenced
to threo years imprisonment and a fine of

A few day* ago Newcastle was more than
excited. She thought she had risen to the
dignity of being visited by an earthquake
in propria persome. Alas for the hopes of
the community. An inspection disclosed
the fact that only a portion of the upper
surface of the old coal mine upon which part
of the city is built had given way, carrying
•'with it some out-houses and a stack of
straw.
Ira H. Peirce was arrested in Missouri
charged with participation in the Benny
hoof robbery, and brought back to Venango
county.wherehe was honorably discharged.
He has since brought suit for damages
against poor old Bennyhoof, claiming $25,-
000. Several other persons who had been
arrested have likewise brought suit for
damages, and should they all recover the
old man’s loss may soon be doubled.
The Jefferson County Teachers’ Institute,
which met lately at Brookville, resolved
tbat they recognized the propriety of using
tho rod severely in extreme cases.. Had
they confiqed themselves to the concerns
legitimately appertaining to school matters
it would have been well enough. Instead
of that, they travelled out of their way to
recommend that the State Superintendent
of Common Schools should urge the subject
of equal taxation throughout the State. Ne

The remains of Mrs. Catharine Hipplo,
who died some three years ago in Kansas,
was recently brought to Tremont, Schuyl
kill county, for re-interment at the home of
her kindred, and on its arrival, and when
the comm was opened it was found that the
body was so eompietdy p6 trified that the
features of the deceased were so perfectly
preserved as to be readily recogiized by
former acquaintances. It was so heavy
that it required the strength of six men to
handle it.
A Mrs. Groboskei had a suit in one of tho

“ Rook upon me,” says Mr. Robert Acres

Pennsylvania—say of (ho treatmentshe has
received at tho hands of her own and the
nation’s hero. And yet Pennsylvania,good,
easy soul, takes it kindly; and though her
heart, if she rejoices in such an organ,must
bo broken by 'the triumph of a Borie, she
has not a word of remonstrance to utter.
Even her Democratic trumpets are mute or
whine out a feeble lamentation, and her
"independent press” thinks that A. T.
Stewart, freo-tradeand ail,would have beeu
a Heaven-sent Minister. Let us seo how
the matter really stands ; for we have some
reason to think that the Democratic mind of
Pennsylvania’s metropolis, having no j
trusted guide efits own, may not bewhollv !
uninfluenced byour views. Philadelphia .
generally wails till eleven o'clock before i
she makes up her mind about anything. |
If there be three men In all that great quad- [
rilateral between the Delaware and the [
Ohio who deserye well of the Republican i
or, iodeed r of tho War party of Pennsylva
nia, they are Audrew G. Curtain, Geonre
G. Meade, and Winfield S. Hancock—each
too, in a different sphere and function.
From IS6I to lSGtj, Curtin was emphatically
the War-Governor of the Middle States.
On his executive administration iell the
whole burden of the hour. Thwarted by
chronic rivals at Washington, who perse- <
cute him still, and often feebly supported at J
home—for Pennsylvania and her politicians j
were hall'the time frightened out of their
wits—he did his duty according to his lights
very well. Three times was his State in
vaded, and thrice was the enemy expelled
—one Pennsylvanian leading at Antietam
and another at Gettysburg ; and while dil
ettante heroes like Mr. Borie wereshiyering
east of the Schuylkill under the protection
of Democratic Governor Seymour, Andrew
j G.JCurtin was at his post ou the Susque
hanna, near the enemy, and within sound
of their guns. Nay, more, Governor Cur
tin was thoroughly "loyal” in his sub
missiveness. Radicalism bad no reasou to
find fault with him. He acquiesced, with
the most exemplary equanimity, in the
kidnapping of his lellow-citizens.and never
troubled the kidnappers with remonstrance.
Mr. McDowell was seized under his guber
natorial nose at Harrisburg, and Mr. Butler
and Mr. Winder close to his Attornev-Geu
erul’s residence in Philadelphia. And yet
for all this his reward is insult and obloquy
and oblivion and St. Petersburg and Borie!
llis constitution may carry him through
the Russian mission, but this hyperborean
exile will be cold comfort to his afilicted
friends at home. ThOD, for General Meade!
The reward q£ the saviour of Pennsylvania
is direct military insult. To be put in the
same category with Ilalleck, and to be
overslaughed by a really common cavalry
man like Sheridan ! When Meade was
fightiDg in the Mexican war twenty years
ago, where was ho who is now made Lieu
tenant-General over his head ? Grant evi
dently loves better him who with good will
laid waste the Valley of Virginia and bnrn
ed millaand farmingutensils thanhim who
calmly stood on tho heights of Gettysburg
and'hurled back, by courage and military
skill, the brave cohorts of a fighting foe.
Melac is a better type, it appears, for pro
motion than Marlborough Meade was in
almost every battle of the war, victory or
disaster. He was wounded under McClel
lan ; he saved Philadelphia in ISG3: and his
ecstatic townsmen gave him a small house
worth §lO,OOO, where his family live,taking
care to give Grant at the same time one
worth $45,000, in which he doe 9 not live,but
which he profitably rents. As with Curtin,
so with Meudc: subservience to Radicalism
does not help him. Not even all the un
worthy work which the Georgian prncou
sul did is enough to save him. He is thrust
aside, and Pennsylvania is bade thank God
—tor Borie! Of Generul Hancock we have
not tho heart to speak. He, the Bayard of
the war, is sent in ex’Je to Dakota jto pine
in relative if not positive obscurity, while
Pennsylvania is consoled with Borie ! We,
not being Penusyivauians, yet undertake
to say that, of tho hundreds of thousands of
voters—Republicans and Democrats—west
of the Schuylkill River, not one iu ten thou

duly sworn to keep entirely secret all the
communications tbat should be forwarded
to him in his official department that night;
that each unmarried gentleman and lady
should write his or her name on a piece of
paper, and under it place the name of the
person they wished to marry, then hand it
to the President for inspection, and if any
lady and gentleman had reciprocally chosen
each other, the President was to inform each
of the result, and those who had not been
reciprocal in their choice werfe to be kept

Affray iu an Asylum—A 3Janiac
Boston, March 12.—The citizens of Cam
bridge have within the past few days been
much agitated over reports concerning the
death of an insane man, named Jas. Parks
who was, after a severe struggle, arrested
by three police officers of that city on Fri
day, February 26, and was subsequently
conveyed to the Taunton Lunatic Asylum,
where he died on the next day after arrival.
As_ it appeared that his death was the result
of injuries received by blows or otherwise,
the impression got abroad that the officers
were culpable in ths matter, This and other
circumstances induced Coroner W. W,
Wellington to hoM an inquest. The result
is summed up in the following verdict:
That James Parks died at the Taunton
State Lunatio Asylum on Wednesday,
March 3,1869/ about 6 o’clock P. M.; that
bis death was caused by the fracture of the
Btemum (breast bone) and of fourteen ribs
(nine on the right side and five on the left,
two of the ribs on the rightside being broken
in two places), and by the laceration of the
right lung, consequent upon said fractures,
which were received during a struggle be
tween Parks and three of the asylum at
tendants, onoof whom ho attacked.

Most of the House Committees met to-day

St. Patrick’s Dat. —Tc-duy tbe 17th
inst., being St. Patrick's day, we ofi'er
jto our readers tbe following account o: the
"Saint ami bis remarkable doings:
Almost as.many countries arrogate ilie
1 honor of having been the natal soil of St.
1 Patrick as made a similar claim with re
-1 spect to Homer. Scotland, England, Fiance
aud Wales, each furnish their respective
1 pretensions; but, whatever doubts may
1 obscure bis birthplace, ail agree in stating
that, as bis name implies, he was of a pa-
family. Ho was born about the
| year 372, and when onlv sixteen years of
I u f?e, was carried off by‘pirates, who sold
him into slavery in Ireland, whero his mas
ter employed him as a swineherd ou the
well-known mountain of Sleamish, in tbe
county of Antrim. Here lie passed seven
years, during which time ho acquired a
knowledge of the language, manners, hab
[ its and customs of the Irish people. Escap
-1 iug from captivity ho succeeded, after many
| adventures, in reaching the continent where
| 110 was successively ordained deacon, priest
, and bishop: and then once more, with the
1 authority of Pope Celestine, ho returned to
| Ireland to preach tho Gospel to its then
1 heathen inhabitants. St. Patrick preached
: to the Irish peoplo with great success, and
converted to God a great number of them.
1 For forty years lie ministered with un
swerving will, and devoted himself to the
j mighty tvork of evangelizing a nation.
| As the birthplace of St. Patrick has been
disputed, so has that of his burial. But
j the general evidence indicates that he was
{ buried at Dounpatrick, and that the rc-
I mains of St. Columb uud St, Bridget wore
j laid beside him. Tho shamrock, or small
; w-hito clover, is almost universally worn in
I the hat over all Ireland on St. Patrick’s day.
1 The popular notion is that when St. Patrick
was preaching tho doctrine of the Trinity
to the pagan Irish, he used this plant, bear
ing three leaves upon one stem, as a sym
bol 01 illustration of the great mystery.—
To suppose, as some absurdly hold, that he
used it as an argument, would be deroga
tory to the Saints high reputation for or
thodoxy and good senso ; but it is certainly
a curious coincidence, if nothing more,
that tho trefoil in Arabic is called S/iamrahh,
and was held sacred in Iran as omblematic
of the Persian Triads. I’iiny, too, in Ins :
Natural History says that serpents are '
never seen upon trefoil, and it prevails i
agHiust the stings ol snakes aud scorpions. |
This, considering St. Patrick's connection j
with snakes is really remarkable, and we !
may imagine that, previous to his arrival, !
tho Irish had ascribed mvstical virtues to !
the trefoil or shamrock, and on hearing of I
tbe Trinity for tho first time, thev fancied !
some peculiar fitness in their alreadj r sacred 1
plant to shadow forth the newly revealed
and mysterious doctrine. * |

Delicate and Successful Operation.
—Ou Sunday morning Dr. S. B. liartinun,
ono of the proprietors, of Mishlcr's Herb
Bitters, perlormed a skillful operation on
the left eye ol a young maid employed nt
Cooper’s Hotel iu this city. It was a diffi
cult case of strabismus, the eye being turn
ed very far in. Dr. Hartman manipulated
tho eye in tbe most .delicate manner and
performed a quick and perfectly successful
operation; and with characteristic liberality
refused any remuneration for his work, as
the maid is poor. Dr. Hartman has per
formed many difficult surgical operations
and has always been successful.

Peters’ Musical Publications.— The
March number of Peters’ Musical Monthly
is at hand, and contains twenty-four pajjos
of choice new music, giving selections from
the most popular writers, and variety
enough to suit every lover of music. Some
of the soo£3 are: “Left ail Alone,” a bal
lad, by J. S. Cox; “The Lord will Pro
vide,” a sacred song, bv George Leach •
“Coraline.” by Will. 9. Hays; “The
Young Widow,” a comic song, by T. B.
Bishop, etc., and the three instrurnenlal
pieces: “Pretty as a Pink” by Mack
“Fleur de The Galop” bv Dressier; and

fifteen pages of choice family Reading, and
all for the moderate sum of 30 cents, or S 3

From Philadelphia via Columbia
AND WRIGHTSVILLE TO YORK, ETC.—The
new railroad bridge across the Susquehan
na river, between Columbia and Wrights
villo, says the PhiTa IL R. and Mining
1 Register which sits vis a vis oil thebnnyq 0 f
tho broad and grand Susquehanna, is now
1 open to railroad traffic, trains making regu
| lar trips across it.
I One of thecousequencesof the new bridge
j at Columbia is the transfer of the York and
Wrightsvilie Railroad, 13 miles long, from
j the le»se-e3hlp of the Northern Central Rail
way Company to the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company, whereby the latter company
is put into operating connection with the
Northern Central Railway at York, 95
miles distant due west from Philadelphia,
The new arrangement will greatly facili
tate communication between York and
Philadelphia, and simplify operating ar
rangement between the Northern Central
I and Pennsylvania Railroad Companies, in-
I asmuch as, under the old programme,
t (when cars were'hauled across the old
I bridge at Columbia with horse power, and
I also from date of tbe burning of the old
structure to the inauguration of the new
steam power crossing,) the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company operated os a branch
the piece of road between Dillervilie and
Columbia, whilst the Northern Central
Railway Company operated'the 13 miles of
road between York and Wrightsvilie, This
was awkward, but it is now ended; and
from York to Philadelphia an unbroken
fine is now operated by the Pennsylvania
Kailroad Company, exactly as from York
to Baltimore an unbroken line is now oper
ated Railway Com
pany.
I This new programme ought to stimulate
Frcdcnek city to hurry forward her State
| Line Railroad to Littlestown, whereupon
from Frederick city, as from Gettysburg
ami from York, there will bo continuous
communication by railroad to Philadelphia
and via Philadelphia to New Y’ork, over a
lino operated throughout by companies
united in interest lu- compact and friend
ship.
Tho country west of tho Susquehanna
river, on both sides of tho State line be
tween Pennsylvania and Maryland is pic
j turesque, healthy, populous, productive,
jOpuleut; but the absence of a locomotive
bridge across the Susquehanna at Columbia
has hitherto had tbe effect of keeping it in
comparative isolation, from the cuuntry
east of the Susquehauna, This Isolation,
now happily terminated, will doubtless be
followed by new links of roud iu sundry in
viting places, including one from York to
Oxford, whenever tho peoplo of York shall
resolve cn its construction, with their own
abundant means. If canvassed propetiy
would unhesitatingly subscribe for a
sufficient number-cf shares to assure the
construction of a road direct to Oxford,
from which she would derive both conse- ;
quenco and trade, neither in small meas
ure. \ orlc only needs a little of that vital
and potent ambition which may bo defined
as publtcspiril, to enlarge tbe circumiorence
of its influence, multiply the number of its
indwellers, and at tho same timo increase
the channels and swell the currents of its
trade.

Anvicu Gratis.— lo all persons in want oj a
Bewiny Machine—lt is a matter of no small
moment to a person, who like myself may be
halting between two opinions, desiring to pur-
Sewing Machine, and not being sulll
clontly acquainted with the merits of the dif
ferent Machines now so extensively adver
tised by the different rival agents of the same ;
to give them a little of my "experience In a
matter of such grave importance. It la aweM
known fact :hut business men are sometimes
i compelled to resort to business tactics of a
i questionable character, for the purpose of sue
-1 cessiully competing with rirals in the same
: business, and 1 have lotind that the rule ap*
; plies to Sewing Machine Agents as well as to
' any other occupation. A few days ago I called
I in at the office of the Howe Sewing Machine
Agency, for the purpose of purchasing a No. 1
Sewing Machine, and by the advice of Mr.
Fate, I got samples of tho different kindtiof
j work done on the Jfowe Machine, for the pur
-1 poseot < omparing with samples of the same
kind of work to be done on the Singer; I went
; lo the Singer Office with them, and requested
; samples lor comparison, but Mr. 11. not being
In, his operators declined, saying thoy were
I not experts; I however walled for Mr. li. the
J proprietor, who made samples for me, and Lhe
I result was that I found ho could not excell
| much less compare with the work done on the
I Howe. First, his cording could not bo done
j without the assistance of ascrewdrlvcr to keep
i the cord in place, aud then would not com
i pare with that done on the Howe Machine
: without -such auxiliaries. Second, His brald
| lug instead ol' being smooth and lying close to
j the goods, as In tho Howe Machine braiding,
j the sewing was not in the middle of the braid
| but swayed in a zig-zag from one side of the
| braid to the other, aud In making a short turn
; the braid stood up completely on Its edge.
! Third, The hemming was not so bad lu a
(straight hem, but on a square earner it was
! Impossible to get around without clipping off
1 the goods—another expedient to which Mr. F.
' need not resort. Neither could Mr. B. hem
i over a felled s*-nm, without the assistance of
, tho scissors. His felling also would not com
| pare with samples of the Howe. Fourth, In
j heavy work, I had a sample of heavy Casslmo
folded eight ply thick, through which the
Howe Machine bad sewed without auy dlfil
-1 cnlty, but. which the agent of the Singer, in
attempting to do, failed miserably. After threo
attempts, he succeeded la sowing through four
ply of the Baino goods near the edge of the
folded sample. After having compared the
samples of both Machines, I had no trouble In
making up my mind as to which Machine I
should choose, and lhe more so when 1 w.is
convinced that for the most seUlsh of pur
poses, the Hlugor agent keeps a Howo Machine
in hi? office in a gummed up condition for ihe
purpose of showing to Inexperience 1 custo
mers, tho difference between the rur.nlngof
the two Machines, Hoping that my experi
ence may bo of benefit lo those in waul,
of a Sewlrg Machine, I would advise
them lo do « xactly as 1 have done,
get samples of lhe work done on lhe
different Machines by experts, and compare
tho same, when you will be able lhe more
readily to make up your mind which j * the
Bcxt ten iny Machine in the Mari'!, ami I have
no doubt your choice will bo in f.gvur of the
HOWE SEWING MACHINE.
