New York, May 13, 1809.—Brooklyn furnishes us with quite a startling seusatlon to-day, which caused great excitement in the fashionable circles of the City of Churches. At the corner of Montague Place and Montague street reside the family of Mr. Flint, consisting of father, mother, sev eral children, and also Miss Lizzie Scribner, sister of Mrs. Flint. There was stopping with tbe- family for some time a young friend from Boston named Talbot. He be came rather euamored of Miss Scribner, and a day or two ago proposed marriage, which was respectlully declined. This morning at the early hour of two o’clock, young Talbot slipped quietly out of his room with a bottled morphine in his hand, and entered the apartment of Miss Scrib ner, on the samb floor. He found her asleep quietly in her bed, but soon, on hearing footsteps, the young lady awoke. She rose from the bed, grappled with the znau, whom? she supposed to be a robber, and finally discovered that it was Talbot. She iin- Elored, begged to be let alone, and finally roke away from him and ran down stairs shrieking for help. Talbot rushed into the room of a son of Mr. Flint, picked up a loaded revolver, ran again down stairs after the young lady, who had thrown herself upon a couch in the parlor, and fired. He missed his aim, however, but quickly fired a second time, the ball striking the back of her hand. Talbot then rushed back to his own room and placed tbe pistol beforo his head and blew out him brains. At that time the entire family was aroused, and, upon repairing to Tal bot’s room, they found his lifeless body in a pool of blood. Miss Scribner’s wound was at once attended to, and a neighboring physician subsequently extracted the ball from her wrist. The Coroner is now en gaged in holding the inquest over the re mains of young Talbot, who, it is apparent, intended toeflect the ruin of Miss Scribner at tbe dead hour of night, nud, being foiled in Jals attempts, endeavored to murder the young lady. The affair creates immense excitement all over .Brooklyn, and in re spectable ciroles here where all tbe parties are well knowD. Talbot, as well as Miss Scribner and the Flints, are related to the best families of New York and Boston.— Miss Scribner baa suffered much pain, but she is now out of danger.

V’ 1 -‘ 1 The’tollowlng.despatch if cable created much exolfcement in the cltiea *vrhen cafyeS; . *‘ , ’•. London; May 11.- Initial steps have been taken for an aulanoe, offensive and defen sive, between England, France and Spain against tbs United States—the rejection of the Alabama treaty, tbe tone of Mr. SniJ neFi speech, the alleged flUtmaterjog'ten deaolMOfGen. Gran Pa administration, and the reported oonnl vanoe at expeditloni from the United States against Cuba, being made the pretext for a necesilty for each alliance. , The following artlolo from tho Pall Mall Gazette ot May Ist, shows the feeling in England: Mr. Sumner has proved to demonstration what Is tho real feeling of the nation and the Government, which, on this question, he may fairly be said to represent. It isevlaent tb&t it is not a feeling which can possibly bo propitiated by any balf-and-balf oonces hlodb. Either we must acknowledge that the olyil war was os muob our work as tbe South’s, and meekly accept the conse quences, or we mast abandon tbo hope of bringing the American people Into a more friendly attitude toward this country. As even tbe extremeat Northern sympathizer will hardly go the lengths demanded by Mr. Sumner, we may hope that the opinionof Englishmen will bcpracticallu unanimous in favor of the latter course. Tho right answer for Lord Clarendon to givo Mr. Motley Is a simple non possumus-a refusal to enter into any discussion which includes the men • tion of the proclamation of neutrality as matter either for compensation or arbitra l(on, We should have spared ourselves some humiliation and tho Americans some additional irritation If wo bud acted on this principle throughout Mr. Johnson’s visit. There Is another use to whioh Mr. Sumners’ speech may be turned. We shall be greatly to blame if wo did not see in it a warning that wo have incurred, though by no fault of our own, tho anger of a very powerful people, which has only now found out that in military and nuval eminence It oan rival the greatest of European Powers. No doubt Mr. Sumner’s only reference to war was a repudiation of Us alleged necessity. But that repudiation was itself founded on the effect which it is assumed will follow from the exertions iof good men on each side, and we know by this time wbat an Ameri can Republican means when he talkß of good men. The epithet is rarely, if ever, applied , except to those who adopt the whole Radical programme. A good Eng lishman means a man who has started from the same premises as Mr. Sumner, and has come to tbe same conclusion. If good men of that type are sufficiently numerous and sufficiently persuasive to bring the majority of Englishmen rouDdto their view, Mr. Sumner may be right in thinking wur between America and Eng-, laud a permanent impossibility. But if, as wo anticipate, there is difficulty in finding tho preachers, or if, as we uro sure will be tbo CUBO, their exhortutlonsfallon deaf ears and stony hearts, it is quite possible that this certainty of unbroken peace may prove only a fool’s parudlßO. Tho ties of blood are not likely to count for more whore England and the United States are concerned than they counted for when the oombatants were two sections of the sumo people. Tho para mount considerations which should govern the present policy of this country toward tho United States are the fruitlessness of fur ther iicgotlatlons and the necessity of being prepared for war. We do not wish to be alarmists, or to re present matters as in anyway worso than they really are. But nothing is gainod by denying that tho sort of ill-feeling which seems to animate the mtnd of nearly every American towards England is an element of serious danger. Suppose, for example, that It had ro&cnod its presont height at tho time of the seizure of the Confederate agents on board the Tront, the most popu lar of Presidents could hardly have ventur ed on making tbe required reparation. The utmost cauliou cannot secure a Government against being compromised by the hasty act of au official, und if England were now compelled to urge a similur demand at Washington, we question whether General Grant would have the power to concede it, oven onjthe assumption—and a very largo assumption it is—that he hud the will, Tbo London correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune writes as follows: Thoro can be but ono logical conclusion to such u premise, und the Rail Mall Ga zette does not shrink from drawing it. The pith aud purpose of Us whole article, und ofwhntisto bo henceforth its policy are condensed into one cogent sentence: “The paramount considerations which shouid govern tho present policy of this country toward Iho Uuiled States, are the frultlessness of further negotiation, and the necesHlty of being prepared for wur." It would bo a total mistake to suppose that this Is said hastily, or is tho elloct of irritation ou reading Mr. Sumnot’s speech. I think it boyond uoubt that tho very able and ronmrkubly sagucious conductors of this journal long tineu resolved on this pol loy. and have wuitud only for a sultublo oc casion to deolaro it, Mr. Hutnnor’s speech furnishes the occasion. By this declar ation, tho Pall Mall Gazelle has put itself at tho head of a movomont destined, I believe, to go far und much boforo it send is reachod. This is. in fact, the revival of that old party which longed for tho destruction of tho |Ro publio by the Rebolllon. Had the Pall Mall Gazette been in existence at that time, it would have been tho rival of the Times for for the leadership oi that party. Now, by a single article, it has.achieved tbe distinc tion which then it might have struggled for in vain. It takes the lead in the strong, res olute, and clear-sighted party which wants a war with America. From Europe. London, May 11,— Tho Morning Standard (Conservative) has a leading article on tbe Alabama question and the Bpeech of Mr. Sumner in the United States'Senate In op position. The writer reviews the relative positions of the United States and Great Britain, and asserts that raids and other outrages perpetrated by the American Fe nians in Canada, durlngthe past few years, more than counterbalance the depredations committed by the Alabama on American commerce. The Government of Great Bri tain, In consenting to submit the mutual international grievances to arbitration, did more than could be fairly demanded, and to yield further would be an act of cow ardice aud irreparable degradation.

It says the rebels offered u more determined resistance than in any previous battle, and acknowl edges that the Spaniards lost Col. Capham, and six privates killed and thirty wonnded. It also claims that the rebel loss was heavy. Tbe insurgents have burned the village of San Minguel, near Nuevitas. Puerto Prin cipeis reported to be plentifully supplied with provisions. It is expected that the "Prensa,” of this city, will soon suspend publication. The Steamship Columbia has, arrived from New York, with Mr. Plumb, the new Codsul General. Havana, May 12.— Accounts from Span ish sources represent that after the fight at Altagracia General Lesca reached Puerto Principe with his army, the insurgents being unable to detain him, and that the Cubans lost 100 killed and wounded. The Diario says 200, but the VozdeCuba doubts the correctness of the Diario’s information. Letona, who made official reports of the af fair, gives n lew details.

M.—Six river steamers were burned to the waters edge at tbelr docks on tho Ohio river in this city lust night. Sovorul lives nro reported lost. Tbo loss which has not yet been estimated must bo very heavy as sovoral of the steam ors destroyed wore new flrst-olass passen ger boats. Tbore names nro the Darling, Westmoreland, Mary Erwin, Melnotto, (Jbuyonnu and Clifton. [sKCOND DESPATCH.] Cincinnati, May 12.—IbQ fire which broke out this morning among, tbe river mourners ut this oily, which resulted in the total destruction of tho boats mentioned, was caused by the upsetting of a lamp in tho wash-rooin of tbe Clifton. The llumes seized at onoo in the light wood work of tbe booat, and in so quiok time did they en velope her, that those on board were Just able to escupe with their lives. From the Clifton tbe fiames extended speedily to tbe boats tbut were lying immediately by her Bide. / There ore rumors that there wore some passengers aboard tbe Clifton, All lives on board were sayed, except a deck band burned to death, A hand on the Cheyenne says that all aboard were asleep when the lire broke out, and that be is certain that five deck bands aboard were burned to death. Robert Gamer and wife, colored, were on tbe landing hunting their son, John Gamer, a lad on the Darling, sup posed to be lost. Tbe officers said tbut four or five men were seen to jump off tbe Darling and struggle to get ashore. Only one succeeded. Skiffs went out to resoue them bat failed. In the midst of the excitement occasion ed, it was difficult to get any Information that is entirely satisfactory In regard to losses’ The following is the estimate placed on the boats exclusive of cargo: Clirton $25,000, Westmoreland $20,000, Mary Erwin $6,000, DarliDg $15,000, Mel notte ?5.000, Cheyenne $25,000. At half past three o’clock all that re mained of the steamers was their blackened hulks in which the fire was sullenly burn ing. The Darling was not entirely con sumed, but whatever remained of the wheel house and other parts of the boat stood -up like monuments, to mark the place where all that is beautiful in boat mechanism had In a short time been consumed. The scene immediately in frontof tbe wharf presented a spectacle too sad to describe. Six boats side by side were iu xulns; others had fied to escape the flames. It was perhaps the saddest scene there had ever been witnessed in the marine historv of Cincinnati. Stormy Meeting of the Washington Typo graphical Union—The Government De termined to Force it to Becognlxe the Negro. Washington, May 16. The meeting of the Columbia Typograph ical Union last night, at the City Hall, was the largest and the most stormy meoling ever held by the craft in this city—tbe ex citing cause being the question of admitting a colored compositor, named Doaglass, as a member. When bis name was proposed, a resolution was offered that he be rejected on account of his being a “ rat.” This was de clared out of order by the chairman, when <in appeal was taken from the deoision, but before it was decided a motion was made to adjourn. The disorder and confusion at this time was intense between those op-' posed to the admission of Douglass and those in his favor. The yeas and nays were taken, and an hour and a half was con sumed in calling the roll, when a motion to adjourn was carried. This carries the case over till the next monthly meeting, and Douglass’ name goes before the investigat ing committee, as is usual with applicants for membership. In the meantime be will continue at the Government printing office. He learned his trade at Rochester, N. Y., but was not allowed to join tbe Union there. He afterwards went to California, and worked in a town where there was no Union. Congressional Printer Clapp de clared to-day that he would keep Douglass at work whether tbo Union elected him a a member or not. This case excites great interest among all the trade societies here, as they are all interested in the precedent which will be established in regard to ad mitting colored men as members. The Re<g Men’* Parade. The celebration of Tammany’s Day by the Improved Order of Red Men in Phila delphia last week was a grand affair: tbe weather was all that could be desired for tbe occasion. Many strangers were in the city, and flags were displayed from the va rious public buildings. Tbe main feature of the celebration was tbe parade of the different Tribes of the Or der, which was made in the morning. This was the first parade of the Order for many years, and the greatest preparations have been made for it during several weeks past. Early in the morning the upper part of the city was greatly enlivened Dy the bands of music which accompanied the tribes to Broad street, the plaoe designated for the formation of the procession. Between ten and eleven o’clock the people began to gather on Broad street,. north of Parish, and tbe sidewalks were soon pretty well lined with men, women and children. The different tribes arrived punctually on the ground and the procession was formed. The procession required about fifteen minutes in passing, and the display was very creditable. . The*route over which the parade passed was lined with spectators. The exercises at tbe Chestnut Btreet Skating Rink were very fine. A large audience was assembled at the Rink, and when the members of the Order who had participated in tbe parade had fathered within the building, the assem lage was called to order. The proceedings were then opened with iZ H. Gorham, Esq., of Philadelphia, delivered an address of welcome to the visiting brethren. William H. Barton, Esq., of Trenton, N. 1., the orator of the day, was then .Intro duced. Mr. Barton delivered an impressive and the jbfecUi oftfah Yfcnfora&d Jnffilifory yrere■ eloquently ■oribed.-:'' av Alter the oeremoniee btthe Blok the and lenee--v- The concluded witaVa grand ball attthe Chestnut Street Rink in theeve nlng.

' Tita Stowt.—Quite a beaVjr.'atornb of *ralQ and bait passed over this city Thurs day. evening. The hail was as large a» pfgeon eggs and in some localities fell in great abundanoe. Mr. l. C. Eby. residing In West Cbwtnnt strest, abowea us this tnormog abougbof an apricot tree contain ing several small sprioot* which were tlrely enoased with a large olnater of ball stones frozen together. Tbo mass of lee thus formed was over an inohin thiokness and some four inobes long by tbree in width. It appears that much damage has been done to the fruit trees andgrape vines, in this city, by the hall, tbo rudimentary fruit in many places being beaten off and strewn over the ground. The Heahino op tbb Alleoed Riot* ebs.—Tbe hearing of the parties alleged to have been engaged in a riot in North Qaeen street, this city, on Saturday even ing, tbe 6tb Inst,, came off on Saturday be fore Mayor Sanderson. ■ The aooused parties were Henry Martin, Adam Miller, Samuel Miller, Henry Shay, John Ponte,Fred. Diffenbach, Jr., "Fungy ” McGuire, " Chuck” Boss, and Henry Role. Hon. O. J. Dickey and Wm. A. Atlee, recently District Attorney for tbis county, represented Messrs. Frea, Dlffenbscb, Jr.. “ Fuogy” McGuire, “Chuok" Boas and Henry Rote, as tbelr counsel. General Joseph W. Fisher, Col, 5. H. Price and Jesse Landis appeared for tho other defendants. A number of witnesses wero examined on the part of the prosooatlon. The evi dence snowed that the disturbance origina ted in the Beor Saloon of Mr. Shultz Rees In North Queen street—where two persons commenced fighting, wblcn. soon Involved ail In tbe room Tn a general affray, or "free fight.” Several of tbo participants were slightly hurt, but tbo prompt ap pearance of some members of tbe city police ended tho disturbance, as soon as they could force themselves into the large crowd that the fight gathered lo overwhelming nnmbers. and whioh for a short time crowded out tue officers and pre vented them from making any Immediate arrests. Tbe evidence showed that tbe dis turbance was not one exclusively partici pated in by Democrats, bnt was a free figbt in which no political feeling entered, and that more Republicans were participants in it than Democrats. There in fact was no riot, merely a drunken affray, such as must occur at times in all places where intoxi cating liquors are sola, even when the pro prietors endeavor to keep good order. Mayor Sanderson, after patiently hearing the evidence and the remarks of the de fendants’ counsel, dismissed tbe case. In dismissing tbe defendants lrom custody he however administered to them a reprimand in which be strongly condemned tnelr rep rehensible behaviour on tbe evening of the disturbance. He said that the oJty authori ties bad exerted themselves to nave the whole matter fairly Investigated, and had spared no pains to bring the offenders to justice; Jbat hereafter tbe city police would be Instructed to exoroise, if possible, still greater vigilance In watohing and arresting all disturbers of the peace, and should there bo any grounds for saob persons being re tained lor trial St the Criminal Court tboir oases should In every instance bo sent up for tho action of that tribunal. Mayor’s Office.— The three young men from tbe neighboring borough of York, York oounty, who drew knives and pistols In Knapp’sßeer Saloon in EostKlngatreet, on Monday, came to grief on Tuesday monllng. it seems that these tbreo sports, named Wm. Beck, Walter B. Ruby and F. E. Ruby came to this city to spend Wklt-Monday. Instead of looking about them and behaving properly they com menced an unprovoked assault In Mr. Knapp’s Saloon—which is one of thy best conducted in the city—on his bar-tonder Mr. William Luckenbach. They threw a mustard pot at Mr. L. striking him on the breast with it. Mr. Knapp soon afterward came in to assist Mr. Luckenbach In elect ing tbe rlotious and disorderly parties from the Saloon, when drawing pistols and bran dishing knives they showed a decided Incli nation to take charge of the premises. Tbe city police were sent for and tbe roughs, probably Buspeoting tbe early arrival of the officers, left for a Bal6on in another por tion of tho city where they , were subse quently arrested Just as they wero about commencing another disturbance. The combative gentlemen were finally safely lodged in the Lockup beneath the Mayor’s office where they haa ample time, during last night and almost the entire day of yes terday, to refieol upon tbe unpleasant re sults of being too pugnaolous. Tho above facts being clearly shown by the evidence of Mr. Knapp, Mr, Lucken buck, and others, at the Mayor’s offico, His Honor made them give ball in the sum of $2OO each to answer at tho next Court of Quarter Sessions to the aharge of riotous and disorderly conduct preferred by Mr. Knapp, and In the sum of $3OO each to an swer to tbe obarge of assault and battery brought by Mr. Luoaenbacb against them. No witnesses were examined for the de fence). Geo. Nauman, Esq., appeared for the defendants, and A. Herr Smith, Esq., for the Commonwealth. Attempted BunoLART.-Some unknown fiersons endeavored to effect an entrance nto the dwelling house of Mr. Barton B. Martin In North Piince street this city, on Saturday night last. Mr. Martin says that he was awakened by the noise made by the burglars in chiseling out a panel of the door leading into the diDlng room of the house, the door being one that leads from said'room into the baok yard. It was a short time after 12 o’clock when he firstheard the noise, but as be supposed it was occasioned by some one about the house being down stairs be paid but little attention to it. Tbenoise at length aroused his suspicions that all was not right, and upon his endeavoring to as certain its real cause the burglars were alarmed and hastily left tbe premises. Mr. Martin thinks that onlyoneof tbe men was inside of the door when he called out, and that he Immediately left with his confeder ate who was on the outside, when their movements were discovered. Nothing of value was stolen from the premises as the burglars’ operations were too quickly de tected to admit of their carrying away any thing. The burglars entered Mr. Martin’s lot from North Water street and approached the back part of the house in that direction. Fire and Serious Accident.— The Co lumbia Spy says that on Saturday evening last, between five and six o’clock, a slight fire occurred in a ooal shed attached to the Cross Keys’ by Matthias Kline, Id that borough. The shed contained a lot of shavings, to which it is supposed an incendiary match was applied. The flames were extinguished ere the fire companies reached the scene, or any damage done save the burning and tearing away of a few of tbe roofing boards. Whilst the Vigilant steamer was proceed ing to tbe fire, on Commerce street, Lemuel Cooper, who had hold of the tongue, stum blea over an elevation of earth and fell be neath the engine, andjbefore tbe apparatus could be checked two wheels of tbe ponder ous steamer passed over him inflicting the following: Two wounds on tbe left side of bead; face, right shoulder and thorax con siderably bruised; a comminuted fracture of the right thigh bone (lower third)—tbe soft tissues surrounding the fracture very much contused. The unfortunate man was first carried to the residence of Robert Crane, Esq., Wal nut street, when Dr. Jno. K, Llneaweaver was called in, who properly dressed the wounds, adjusted the parts and placed the patient in a fracture-bed, in which state he was carefully removed to the residence of his parents, on Front street, and is doing as well as could be expected under the cir cumstances.

The Month op May.— The *9<afe Guard very appropriately remarks that May, tbe lovliecrt of months in almost every clime, is known in tbe Cathollo Church as tbe month of Mary, os it Is specially sut apart for de votion to the Virgin Mother. Whatever mayne onr dogmatic differen ces, ail can And something Deaatlfuliu this association of this month of flo wore, of ethe rial mildness and clear blue skies, that seem the mirror of Heaven's own eternal culm, with the spotless mother of the Incarnate Word. The oeremonles, too, are la keeping with this association of religion ana tbe beautiful—early matins, lights, flowora, cel ebrants in gold embroidered white vest ments, girlhood in flowing veils, the sweet obantlng of tbe Ave Marla, with tho pealing organ, "The oonaeoTation and the poet’s dream.” We believe all the Cathollo churches of tho city observe this festival. Runaway.—On Monday evening as Mr. Christian Herr and Miss Funk, of Manor t wp., were driving In a baggy out of the yard of Mr. Christian Shock's hotel in West KiDg street, this city, they met with a accident which might have resulted in the most seri ous consequences.

Tbe horse continued on down the stree when the buggy was dashed against a tree opposite Miss Temple’s Millinery shop, breaking tbe vehicle badly and throwing Miss Fnnk into the street. Miss F. was oarried Into Dr. Matlock’s office noar by, where it was found she had escapod with two bruises on the cbeek and temple, and a bruised arm. Mr. Herr was but slightly Injured. The buggy was badly broken; tbe horso was stoppod a short distance from the place where Miss Funk was thrown out. , Coloiujd Folks in Trouble.— On Mon day afternoon the colored population resid ing in and about Goose streeUn tbe Seventh Ward, beoame unmanageable. They par took firstly of some whiskey, and then oommenceu to celebrate Whit-Monday by having a free fight Among themselves. This doubtless was for them fine fun but such it was not for the more quiet and orderly portion of the citizens of that portion of our city. Officers Shroad, Lutz and Fisher of the city police were sent to quiet this em bryo riot and to make urrests of the ring leaders. Several guilty parties were ar rested and put in the lockup. One of them, a colored man named Charles Coleman, was committed to the county prison by tbe Mayor this morning for ten days. The re mainder of tbe parties arrested were dis charged upon paying a fine of $4 and the costs. Personal.— The New York World says: The name of Hon. Isaac E.

Professor Koeppen in the faU received some dangerous fractures, from the effeot of which be is yet confined to hip bed. In his affliction; be has tbe sympathy of a large clrole of warm personal friends in this oountry, as well as thousands of admirers who will grieve over his tem porary loss to history and literature.” Religious.— An adjourned meeting of the Donegal Presbytery was held at Mount Joy recently, at which Rev. Solomon Mc- Nair moderated, and Rev. C. "W. Stewart acted as Secretary. Rev. Geo. Robinßon, of this oity, Rev. A. H. Long, of Pequea, Rev. W. J. Bridells, of Marietta, and Rev. B. F. Witherow, of Columbia, were also present. John Edgar having passed the necessary examination, was ordered as Minister, and was subsequently Installed as Pastor of the Presbyterian church of Mount Joy, and also aB Pastor of the Don egal church. Smoke House Robbery.— On Tuesday night, between the hours of eleven and twelve o’clock, the smoke house of Daniel Furry, residing on the old Levan mill property, Manor twp., about four miles from the city, was broken into and thirteen hams, nine shoulders and a quantity of bologna sausage taken away. Mr. Furry did not discover his loss until yesterday at noon, but noticed on Wednesday morning when coming to market that a wagon baa preceded him through the toll gate; further than this he did not take any notice, not knowing at that time that he had been rob bed. That this was the wagon that carried off the meat—about seven hundred weight —there is little doubt, as the persons resid ing in the tenant house, near Mr. Furry’s, saw, on the night in question, some persons in a wagon go toward his house at about half-past eleven o'clock and return about half-past twelve, coming toward the city.

The rafts aro then ru o through to Port Deposit, the bead of tide water, when they are made into “lockages,’'’ by piling one stick upon tbe top of another three or four deep, and put into tbe Cbesfr peake and Delaware oauai and towed over to tbe Delaware, where a number of those “ lockages ” aro put together and mado up until they sometimes cover sores, and floated with the tide or towed up to Phlla del pbia; and those for New York are taken; up to Bordentown.where they aro put into the Delaware and Raritan c&ual and towed to New Branswiok, Now Jersey. BUI timber is known as timber hewed perfectly square, as large at one end as the other, it is generally about twelve Inches* square. There are a groat many sawed timber rafts. This timber is manufactured on the upper streams. None of that mado utLock Haven or Williamsport Is rafted, but trans ported by canal ana railroad. Mc?t cf the lumber la these rafts is scantling, plank and broad rails. It Is not unusual for two thousand rafts to be sent to market. From this fact some idea can bo formod of tho extent of tbo lumber trado, Jf there are but—sny fifteen hundred rafts, one thousand of which are squaro tlmbor, averaging six thousand on bio foot to the raft, we have six millions of cubic feet, tho value of which, at twenty cents por foot, would be $1,200,000. To this is to be Bddea five hundred rafts of sawed lumber, worth half us much more.—Har riaburg Patriot. I. O. of G.

Allkoed Certain Cure for the Bite of a Mad Don.—The editor of the Kent Ncm t published at Chestortown, Md,, In giving publicity to the following article, suys ” it may bo proper to state, lor tbe in formation or persons who are unacquainted with Mr. Dyre, that ho is a highly respecta ble und intelligent farmer, residing near Gnlunu, iu this county.” Eleeumpnno is a plaut well known to most persons, and is to be lound in many of our gardens. Immediately after bolng bitten, take one and a half ounces of the root of the plant—the green root is perhaps preferable, but tho dried will answer and mny be found In our drug stores, and was used by' me—slice or bruise, put into a pint of fresh milk, boil down to a halfpint, strain, and when cold, drink—fasting, for at least blx hours afterwards. The next morniug, fasting, repeat the dose, using two ounces of the root. On the third morn ing take another dose, prepared as the last, and this will be sufficient. It is recom mended that after each dose nothing be eaten for at least six hours. I have a son who was bitten by a mad dog eighteen years ago, and four other chil dren in the neighborhood were also bitten ; they took the above dose, and are alive and well at this day. And I have known a number of others who were bitten that ap plied the same remedy. It is supposed that tbe root contains a principal which, being taken up by the blood in its circulation, counteracts or neu tralizes the deadly effects of the virus of hydrophobia. I feel so touch confidence in this simple remedy that I am willing you should give my namo in connection with this statement. Franklin Dyre. Rxgisti.b or Willb.—We are authorized to announce- that Dr. WM. M. WHITESIDE, late Lieutenantof Company E,|loth Regt. first three montns’ service, and Captain of Company I 79th Ref,t. P. V., of Lancaster city, Is a candi date for Register, subject to,the decision of the Republican voters at the ensuing primary election; al3-tfd*w It is seldom that we use the columns of this paporto "puff” or notice the “ thousand and one " articles known as Patent Medicines." We, however, vary from our rule In the pres ent case, that we may call tbe attention to the article known as "8. T.—lBoo—X.. Plantation Bitters.” We desire it understood that we do so without any solicitation or promise of bene fit from, the proprietor or other interested par ties. We Bimply no It as an act of duty towards those who are laboring under physical disa bility, weakness, and tne various complaints arising from Impurities of the blood. Having used toe Bitters at the Instigation of a frlerd, (and, we confess, with some misgivings at the outset,) we found them a most valuable medi cal compound, and to our groat satisfaction, accomplished the object for which they tyero psed. Magnolia Water.—Superior to the best Im ported German Cologne, and sold.at half the price. Completion of .the Pacific Railroad.— Bomo twenty years ago it was proposed to build a railroad to the Pacific coast. The Idea at that time was looked upon by most men as visionary In the extreme, and oy some pro nounced Impossible, yet this so-called vision ary project has been accomplished and the Iron horse will now speed Its way over three thousand miles of continuous rail, from the Atlantic to the Pacifio Ocean. For more than twenty years electricity has been used as a remedial the treatment of disease. At first like the great railroad project, it met with opposition, but It has finally overcome all oppo sltlon and is now acknowledged the most po i tent remedy that can be us©d|iu all cades requlr Ing medical treatment. Physicians, both In this country and in Europe, are resorting to It In their most obstinate cases; In fact some of the cures performed by this mysterious Agent are done so quickly that It seems like magic, yet this Is nothing more than might reasonably be expected If we reason upon thesubjectproperly and study tbe fofees In nature and the laws regulating our physical well being. Electricity In some form pervades all nature, everything In the material world around us Is acted upon or influenced by this subtle agent. It is an im portant element of the hnman body, the main spring of life and the element of health. A de ficiency of the electric force oraconcentration of the same upon some organ or portion of the system.causes;-disease, is disease in fact. Equal izing the electric force in the system, taking from that organ or portion that is overcharged and supplylng-that which is deficient cures the disease. using a mild and gentle cur rentof electricity any disease of the Inngs or bronchial tubes can be discovered before it Is 'perceptible to tbe patient and before it can be found out by any .other means. Dr. Lafont who is now at the Cooper House, in Lancaster, has made great discoveries in this department ’of science, and all requiring information or treatment should call on him without delay. #p«rial fjatttts. 49~ To Remove Eotb Patches.
