EOM The Rumored Attemce Aprthurt to Assusssinnte Prin. The rumor of an. attempt to assassinate Prince Arthur, which Was telegraphed over the country on Saturday evening seems to be without foundation. The New York correspondence of the Philadelphia Ledger Bays: "After the royal party had ldft the Bre voort House, a suspicious looking character approached a detective who had been de tailed to watch his movements, and pre- Beating a revolver at his (the detective's) head told the officer "he had better leave as quickly as possible." The detective at once summoned other officers to his aid, and while these wore disarming ruffian No. 1, seven or eight other roughs apeared on the scene. A- severe light then ensued, but the ruf fians were finally captured and marched off to the Twenty-ninth precinct station house, where their names were registered as Pat rick Mulhide, Charles E. Gardner, Wm. Murphy, Joint Lough and Michael Mc- Nulty. Lough Is a native of England, .Gardner hails from Yonkers, Westchester county, and Murphy and Mulhide are Irishmen. As deadly weapons were found on their persons, and the men declined to explain why they were hanging about the residence of Mr. Stoughton, the disposition with some persona is to come to the conclusion that they intended to shoot the Prince. It is proper to say that Mr. Stoughton denies that there was any intention to as sassinate or otherwise harm the Prince. The story published in ono of the evening papers, that he had to leave by the back door, he also says is acanard. At the police office, it is also stated, that the men under arrest are charged with drunkenness, and not with the attempted assassination of anybody. So a very great mountain has been made of a minute molehill. The Prince and his attendanLs left for Boston in the 3 o'clock P. M. train, having previously called upon one or two of the Wall street bankers, who urged him to visit the (hold Room and the Stock Ex change, courtesies which be declined for lack of time.

B.—Amongst other remonstrances sent to Congress against the extonston ofCorlise' patent, is a very strong one from Zackaalah Alien, of Rhode Island, conclusively showing that Cornea was not the first and original inventor of the im provement in the steam engine, which re sulted from the abolition of the throttle valve, and the introduction df the system of regulating the engine by combining the regulator with a liberating valve-gear, as is apparent from the specifications of the letters patent of the United States, granted to Allen in 1854. Further, Aden claims that to grant the extension to Corliss, would bestow on him for seven years longer a reward for benefits which have been conferred upon the world by Allen, and because Corllastemploys the detachable valve and valve mechanism invented and patented by Frederick E. Sickes in the year 1842, with which valve and merhvsißM he has combined the regulator and thus engrafted Allen's improvement in the system of regulating the steam engine upon the Sickes invention in valves and valve gearing.

SALEM, Jan. 27.—While the great philan thropist lies in state in your City Hall, your thoughts will naturally turn to the resting place which awaits hint here, in the State and town which gave hint birth, and has so good cause to honor and remember him. Not a mite away on the shore of the North river, stands the beatiful grove which has been consecrated for the ashes of our people. It lies partly in the town of Peabody, lately South Danvers, where the life, since grown famous, began humbly enough. The house in which his business life began, in the capacity of a grocer's lad, is still standing, with a small shop front, and a high window is often pointed out in the narrow attic which was his bedroom. Sixty-live years are, when he looked out of that window, a thick walnut growth over spread the site of the present cemetery, and its shades wore hunted on holidays by noisy y bos, but for the rest of the weelnvere left to 'the squirrels. Hardly n trace new re mains of the natural beauties of the acetic; but art has come instead, and a hundred acres have been enclosed, adorned with shade trees and flowering shrubs, laid out in lots and traversed with avenues. Only a single clump of old trees remain outside of the cemetery, on an eminence too rocky and uneaven to be occupied. The cemetery liesvartly in Peabody and partly in Salem. The Peabody entrance is through a simple rustic gate.; but the visitor from Salem passes snider a massive arch of rubble work, overgrown with woodbine, which rustles drearily In the wind. Passing down the main avenue about a hundred rods, you come to the Peabody lot. The cemetery slopes towards the west, and is washed at the foot of the slope by the tide ebbing and flowing through the North river. East ward the ground rises, becoming very ir regular and broken on the eastern border, where the hillside rises abruptly to an em inence, films which there is a wide view of the sea and land. The Peabody lot lies on the side of tins hill and faces southwesterly towards the river. Along the front runs a wall of stone ten or twelve feet high and thirty feet long. The side walls strike the hunk a dozen feet from the front, but the hill is hollowed out, so that the level sur face of the lot is about thirty feet square. A digit of stone steps gives access to the lot. In the centre stands a unique monu ment of granite. The base is ten feet long, two feet high, and four feet wide. Upon this, near each end, stand two blocks of granite a foot high, supporting a maesive slab eight feet long, three feet wide and three feet high, suggesting and thintly re sembling a man, The base exhibits three panels inlaid with blocks of marble, The left panel is blank ; the other two bear these inscriptions: Thomas Peabody, died 1811, aged 19.

Novel Scene in the Senate Chamber— The Negro ;Senator From Milani. Fraternir.- ing. With the Sable Legthilator. WASHINGTON, Feb. 2, 1870 Revels, the Mississippi Senator, the first representative of his rate and color chosen to fill a seat in the uppey branch of the na- ! Donal legislature, mit& his appearance again to-day on the floor 'of the Senate. Revels was dressed in a black snit of fine cloth, coat very long and clerical like, and pants and vest of corresponding propor tions. He worn dark gloves, also, and carried a mulatto colored stick. The distinguished (Jerky made quite a sensation. The moment he came into the Senate Chamber and took his seat on one of the luxurious lounges, several Senators hurried over to him, shook him warmly by the hand and welcomed him to his new field of labor. Charles Sumner was among the 4rst to o ff er, in - very hearty style, smil ing all oyer and saying a quantity of very pretty things, lyhich the colored Seuator heard with genuine pleasure. It-Was a spectacle worth looking at to see Sumrier and Revels, thus practically illustrating the idea of political anti social equality.— Thayer, Chandler, Howard, Cameron,War ner, Spencer, Drake, Lewis. Howe and oth er Senators paid their respects. Cameron had quite a talk with, Revels. Spencer of Ala bama, sat down with Revels, and, while making his congratulations, took a full survey of the ladies in the gallery, who were looking down upon the scene, some with pleasure and others with astonishment and horror. Spencer, you must know, is a great favorite with the ladies. An effort was made to get fiery little Garret Davis to allow himself to be led into the presence of Revels for introduction, but the live Ken tuckian could not see it; neither could the facinating McCreery, colleague of Davis, who clings to the old time pre ' mlices with true ante bellunt tenacity. VICE ADMIRAL PORTER A Nice Little Trip in Prospect. \VASUINUTON, Jan. 20.—1 t is rumored that Vice Admiral Porter intends to order hiuytelf on a fancy cruise to the Mediterra nean and all the points in Europe . worth visiting next summer. Ile is now busily engaged in arranging the list of vessels and in selecting the officers who are to accom pany him, and also in devising a new uni form for the occasion that will surpass in gorgeousness anything over seen on the perstme 9f United States naval officers. Porter has a great Jitney for "bright work," and the changes he proposes to make in the decoratings will send joy to the hearts of tailors and gohldneettnannfacturers. Some change or other is made in the navaluniform about every six months, and officers with small salaries do not look at the matter in exactly the same light as the Navy Depart ment people and the tradesmen whose pork ow are benefited thereby. For the Intelllgencer Choosing a Business " What shall I do ?" Is a question which forces itself upon every young man of quality and brains. And it often becomes an embarrassing ono where it is associated with proper reflection and earnestness. As a choice must be made at an early age, the intensity of the question increases with the limited time to which the decision is con fined. There may be danger of increasing the perplexity unnecessarily, by indulging the hope of fully satisfying the mind, at the outset in the choice of a business. But hers there should not be an over-anxiety. The pursuit of a business creates a taste and satisfaction as qualification and adaptation advances. The path that is perseveringly trod, soon becomes familiar and pleasant. The great object then is a business. For tune does not often condescend to snatch any up into her happy embraces. She is to be wooed and won by exertion and solicita tion. And favorable opportunities do not always full in our way in precisely the manner and place wo imagined. They present themselves often in the unsolicited garb of fortuitous events ; coming or occur ring unexpectedly, or without any visible connection between our concern and their facilities. Though facility and hope of success might sometimes decide in the choice of a business, they cannot make the path so smooth that no obstacles at all will be encountered in the way. Every young man then should settle his mind to a con test, choose whatever business he may. Energy, tact, and moral power will be in great emend not only on the way, but at the very beginning. For every thing al most depends upon giving a proper diree, tion, and having a suitable purpose at the very outset of business life. And an important question hero is, what is the object of choosing a business at all f To . secure the means to support life ; to attain independence; to gain a competency, these are the several answers. Some start with the first in view, speedily gain th e second, and after a struggle secure the third. And we may add that any regular business will certainly afford a livelihood, and fur nlylt with power to attain. to hada pendymp ond. 0 Jiff at least to gain a c o r. ta• TER - w_Elp_;lK _ . , v. • -; Korai intelligence.

A DEsTnucTivE FlRE—Tavern and Storehouse Burned.—This (Monday) morn ing at 1 o'clock the large two-story stone tavern house and store, late of Grabill B. Forney, deed, situated in the village of Earlville, miles from this city, was de stroyeti by tire. All the furniture and con tents of the store, etc., in the building were destroyed. Some two hundred and fifty bushels of choice apples were burned. The tire was discovered :by a neighbor, Mr. Zook, who resides a quarter of a mile from the building, at 1 o'clock, and when first seen by him the flames were issuing from the roof Mr. Zook immediately rang his dinner boll to give the alarm to the neigh, bore, but their aid came too late to accom plish anything toward oaring the building or its contents. The wagon shed and barn, belonging to the property are located twenty yards from the house, and were only saved by the wind blowing in a contrary direction from them ; thus carrying the flames away from those buildings. The fire originated in the south west eorber of the building in the portion occupied as a store, and some suppose it was caused by an incendiary as that portion of the building was most remote from public observation. Others think the lire was ac eidental. The loss is estimated at $5,000, which is partly covered by an insurance of $2 1 500 ($2,000 on the building and $5OO on the fur niture) in the Lancaster County Mutual Fire Insurance Company. The property was lately sold at public sale to Hiram G. Dissinger, who has since sold it to Henry (Iraybill, Esq. Sem ACC( DENT.—We learn from the lift. Joy Herald that, on Thursday afternoon, a sad accident oeeured in that borough. A boy named Andrew Sexton, aged about sixteen years, and employed by J. Koer ner in his bakery, was killed by a fall from the third story of the steam mill iu that place. It appears that ono of the boys who was with him drew him up on the hoisting ope, and not knowing how to leave him down, left go the check rope, which pre cipitated Sexton to the ground, killing him almost instantly. Deputy Corbner Dysart held :um inquest and rendered a verdict in accordance with the above facts. The boy's father resides in Harrisburg, whence the body was removed for interment. The boy who was killed, was sent with a wheel barrow to fetch a bushel of coal, and when passing the mill with the coal he stopped a moment to play with the litte fellow (about 9 years old) who hoisted him up. The proprietor of the mill often felt annoyed by children playing around the premises, and frequently ordered them away. OBITUARY.—Adam Trout, a well-known citizen,died at the County Asylum on Sun day morning . at 5 o'clock. Mr. Trout was proprietor of the Western Hotel, this city, for about fifteen years. He was several times elected to Councils, was an active politician, and otherwise took a prominent part in public affairs. Some two years ago his mind became impaired, and he was placed in the Harrisburg Asylum, where he soon recovered sufficiently to be brought home, but having, a relapse soon afterwards he was placed in the Lancaster County Asylum, where ho has since remained. A few weeks ago his health begun to give way, and be sunk gradually until Sunday morning, when he died. A short time be fore his death his reason was entirely re stored. He will be interred, in accordance with his request, in the family burying ground at Paradise, on Wednesday morn ing. PRISON INsPEcTon.s.—The Board of Prison Inspectors hdil their stated monthly meeting this morning, and after six ballots, elected Dr. A. J. Herr, Prison physician, he receiving 4 votes, and Dr. Win. Comp ton 2 votes. The only other important business trans acted by the Board was the adoption of a resolution that hereafter those persons committed as vagrants shall be obligcld to break stone for paying purposes. Already stone is being hauled from the county quar ries to the street in front of the prison, and in a few days the vagrants will be set to work breziking it. Major Rohrer, the Pres ident of the Board, was authorized to em ploy two competent men to superintend the vagrant workmen. A DVERTISI:tO.—A distinguished authori ty on the subject says that the country is full of men who have got rich by advertis ing. In fact, no man expects now to keep his business running without informing the people what he is doing and where he can be found. The people cannot afford to spend the time to hunt up places of business and trade. They have been so long accus tomed to gaining that information from newspapers, that they depend upon that source altogether, and govern their trade from what they learn and read at their homes and by their own firesides. A lively advertisement is a friendly talk between business men and their customers. It is a daily invitation to come and trade, and every day the readers of a local paper ex pect to see and hear what the merchants, the manufactures and the tradesmen have to say. A local newspaper is a traveling agent, taking his daily round to the fami lies of all their customers. No matter whether times are good or dull ; no matter whether trade is brisk or otherwise, no business man can afford to take down his sign nor withdraw the pleasing influence of a daily chat with his customers through the newspaper. For a business man to stop advertising. would be equivalent to saving, "I have stopped business, and ask no more favors of the people." AN OLD Fox CAUGLIT.-0111 "P0q1100." correspondent writes that, Thursday, the old Opossum Hollow Fox was caught in Salisbury township. Three men, Messrs. Kurtz, Ainmon and Fleming, were hunt ing and secured him. The fox is one of the largest ever seen in that neighborhood and is at least ten years old, and has been hunted for by all the hunters, far and near, all winter, but was given up as too sharp to be caught. Some even went so far as to say that it was impossible to catch him, ,but Mr. Kurtz's pack ran him in on Thurs day, after a hard run, and he now wears the bracelet and chain. QUA RIO:VILLE ITEMS.-3fessrs. Editors: Business is rather dull in our vicinity, though the open winter affords labor not usually obtained at this season of the year. Farmers have been doing much of their spring work. Plowing has been going on briskly the last few weeks. There is con siderable moving to take place the coming spring. * * * LOCAL LEGISLATION.—Tho following legislation of local interest bus recently been had in Harrisburg: Mr. Warfel introduced an act authorizing the borough officers of Elizabethtown to increase their rates of taxation. Also, an act repealing so much of existing laws as allows turnpike companies to charge toll for travel within the city of Lancaster. Al so, an act to provide for the incorporation of Life and Health Insurance Companies, and an. act to establish an Insurance De partment in the State of Pennsylvania.

It is a very large muscular horse, often reaching to seventeen hands - and tipwards, and closely resembling the heaviest breeds of German and Flemish cart-horsui. The early settlers ofthispart °Him - United States were mostly Germans, and they either brought over with them some of the horses of their country or else they have since selected from those within their reach the animals most resembling in appearance their old favorites when in their fatherland. There is. however, no record of the origin of the breed, and all that can be done is to describe it as it now exists." SMYRIYA LITERARY SOCIETY.—This As sociation met at the usual hour, Thursday evening after transacting unfinished and new business, the Literary Journal was read by the Editress, Miss Cecelia Bash.

Ii."REILY, Contra Isloners or I,i:le:iler County Attest: JOIN H. HitinK, Clerk. We, the unde%igned, Auditora of Lancaster county, do certl • that we have carefully ex amined the above account of Wm. Thomas, Treasurer of the said county, and compared his vouchers with the same. and find there is a balance In his hands this id day of January, 1070, of thirty-one thousand, two hundred and forty seven dollars and eighty-nix cents, (Vll,- 247 88), which amount he has turned over to the present. Treasurer, and produced his receipt for the same. . - We have also examined the account of Chris tian Gast, Treasurer of the Poor and House of Employment, of Lancrtstel county. unit find balance In his hands of one hundred and twenty-nine dollars and sixty-eight cents. We have also examined the account of Chris [lan Lefever, Treasurer of the Board of Prison Inspectors, and found a balance In his favor of five hundred and neveey atm! dollars and thir ty cents, ($571 30). The present Indebtedness of the County is one hundred and filly-seven thousand, five hundred and twenty-live dollars and thirty. five cents, ($157,52535). The Auditors met In the Orphans' Court Room on Monday, the third day of Janu ary, 1870, and entered upon their duties.— They are pleased to state that the late County Treasurer, William Thomas, charged himself in 1868 with 847561, and in 1809 with 881012, Interest on money of the County loaned out by him during his official term, thus adding to the Treasury receipts 51,11608, and showing an example that would have been as creditable for his predecessors to have Initia ted, as It will be for his successors to imitate. The tax-payers of the County will respect and appreciate him accordingly, an one among many. His conduct conclusively proves that a faithful and upright officer can as readily make money for Mu County out of the County money as he can for himself, a theory which heretofore has been practically denied. They cannot resist the conclusion that:the County Prison is managed in an expensive manner for the sole benefit of the Keeper, when with proper care andeconomy, thou sands of dollars might be happily saved. The charges for maintenance of convicts, prisoners on trial and vagrants are entirely too high. It is not expected, nor is it right, that the Prison should yield enormous profits Many one. The officers should be duly compensated, but not enriched by a few years service at the cost of the people. Instead of It being a source of great expenditure, It should be one of income If compatible with the rights of the inmates. Nor !Mould the emoluments be such as to ex cite the cupidity of unscrupulous men and make every year's election a disgusting scram ble for its control. Faithful and competent men can as rest lly be found as those of an other class, and If the appointment of the Inspectors was given to our Court, the Prison would no longer present Itself as a mere pa 'Riad machine to be managed for private thrift- By our Prison rules and regulations it is directed that each convict shall be fed as follows: One pound of rye or wheat bread daily; one pint of coffee In the morning; half n pound of beef made Into soup, and four pota toes at noon ; mush I u I he evening, and half a gallon of molasses per month, for which the Keeper receives 23, 28 and JO cents per head dolly, according U 3 the whole number of prix oners at any the lime. Apr housekeeper can make the calculation and find that 15 cents is head, or less, offers sufficient compensation. Not ten years ago the rations cost but 18 ors. and those who know, do assert, that the Keep er made several thousand dollars a year, and there are those who now will undertake to furnish such rations at 15 or 16 centa. At pres ent !Wen, the Keeper must accumulate money on his own account very rapidly, not less than 820 a day clear of all expense. From December Ist, 1868, to November 30, 1869, inclusive, he fed 40,141 trays, at a cost of 313.217 95 to the County. His rates being 30 cents a day for the first tour months, Ni cents for the next never) months and 25 cenla for the last mouth; affording him an average of 78 cents a day, or nearly twice an much as the rations cont. At an average profit of 14 cents he would mitt s6,6lki TPA, which, with a salary of $7OO, his house rent tree, gar den and other privileges, would afford a wan pensation far in excess of what it should be, especially as as It is direct from the pockets of his fellow cilium., and is double the salaries of our Judges, and 112500 more than that of the Governor. In connection with this we cannot avoid no ticing the super serviceable Wattle ILI vagran ts daily sent torison and entertained at the ex pense of the L,ounty. They are arrested and discharged, re-arrested and committed on the same day, and by tome revolving or rotatory process known to the law, are re-arrested, re committed and discharged, "both early and often," during the winter, making the Prison a Universal Hotel for the accomodation of all who, through idleness or crime, commend themselves to some kind hearted official, who, through love of the Fee 8111, generously sends them back as often as they come, honestly charging the County fifty eents for commit ment and thirty cents tor arrest 1n each ease As the number is legion with the hopes of no increase, the expense Is considerable and should be abated. The inmates of 18611 being one-third more than that of ISM and increasing the number of days for rations from 85.H0 to 46,141. The Auditors suggested, last year, asamearis of economy, and the best preventive of favor • itlam, that the printing, bridge building, and other important work should be given to the lowest bidder on public notice as is common with the best managed corporations, but that suggestion was disregarded by our Commis sioners who prefer to travel lu Oro old ruts.— The printing, book and Job work are given out without any evidence of bids having been invited, consequently we now can realize ne saving or reduction of price: tto with the painting of the Court House, which was let out at 3275 a day—the County to erect a scaf fold. Some of the best workmen of reSponal bility have assured the Auditors that If notice had heed given, they would gladly have Un dertaken it at 112.50 per day without a scaffbld by which there would have been a saving of from SIM to 31500. TII I / 1 1.doemed undeniable, from the fact that the mechanic who obtained the contract, had previously Worked at the Poor House for 3225 a day and others had worked there for 92 a day, and less. The work replacing and repairing the bridges at Hun seeker's, Eden and Point-town wsscontracted for privately, without notice, at 116 a day for the contractor and 116 a day for his hands, while others as competent and responsible have stated they could and would have undertaken It for lee. This Is a very different, policy from that pursued at the Poor House, where a bridge scrum the Conestoga, 249 feet long. 13 feet wide and feet high was built at a cost of 92,467.60 of which 11,310 were expended for stone and masonry. It Is a model as to coat and con struction, strength and damblilty, In contrast with some of the bridges ballt at the County's expense, but It was done under the inspection of the Directors and their officers, who adver tised for proposals, and consulted the Interests of the tax-payera, by contracting with the lowest and best bidders. It is therrelore reapea• fully recommended, that in future, for ail re pairing as building of bridges and other Important work, proposals be invited, and contracts made according. to the suggestions In the Auditors' report of laat year.

The Auditors fro_ur their examinations inie the affairs of I he Ctumyaa prMented to them, are fully of the belief, that there is More lime spent by the Commissioners In their offine. than Is absolutely oecesaary. The inluntem Will 'show; that from Iwo to three or tour dsyir a week ore charged by each Commissioner, when often tto•hastli, , transacted warlimired to the granting Of otie, , two or three order..., and occasioually when a Milhaud has assein. bled, the Clerk has made thesignideant natty, "there being no business. adjourned." The most important time for office duties msy be the drat week of a regular term of Court, or while they are holding appeals; but thin he quent visiting the office and returning home two or three times a week Is certainly not necessary. One or two days attendance In a week would for the most part be ample. If they would publicly announce. and make It generally known, that they will attend their office on the Monday and Tuesday of each week and no other, as wee the custom In Leaner times, the people would regulate themtelvea accordingly. The pay and mileage of the prey out Board for a single day is $16.40, and does not well bear repeat bag, unless the ntibliti brie- Mesa actually requires it. The office le note post to be used. merely for daily pay and mileage, and a pleasant ride to and from Lancaster, at a cut of Q a day and ten mints a mile. The Auditors believe, that the several ac counts which they are n glared to settle and adjust should be prepared and made up to the Slat of Decembr, inclusive of each year, and submitted to the Commisaionera end other Boards for examinellon, then to be filed in the Prothonotary's Office, advertised as open for inspection to all tax payer. for thirty daps, after which to be referred to the Auditors fur final settlement, that all Interested may have an opportunity of examining and Ming ert ceptions' thereto if neces.ry , helm and creditors may do to an administration acoount. At present, no one sees or kilo.s anything about either account, Until they are finally acted on by the Auditors and published when It la too late for exception of any kind. In our report of last year, we ch2RO.l the then County Cornnaluioners with r Which they had illegally appropriated to two fire compunlea, one in Columbia and one in hfari• etta. The report was confirmed by the Court. and appealed from. Nothing further her been done, and as we do not know who beside the Commissioners have the power to prosecute the claim, we respectfully refer it to the atten tion of the Court. The Commissioner. claim, under the act of MIL that they are entitled to mileage if at the close of each day they go to their respective homes and return again next day to the Com missioner.' (Alice, in the performance of their official duties. Theduties. Auditors are of opinion that the law contemplates and embracer only one charge of mileage where the pUblio duties require the attendance of the Commissioners for consecutive days; and under this view, to have this question legally anti finally deter mined, in Justice to the Commissioners on one aide and the County on the other, and for the guidance of future Boards of Auditors, they charge as overpaid to— Samuel ellokurn,one hundred and fifteen dol lars and sixty cents. John dtrohm,ninetyddx dollars. J. C. Kready, seventy-one dollars. In the account of C. H. N holey, the charge is for constructive mileage, or, mileage not actu ally travelled—the Commissioner remaining lu the city of Lancaster during the meeting of the Board, under an alleged custom claims that he is entitled to tilt. mileage as Baetrtally travellt d. This the Auditors think tnatimires aide, and charge him with our hundred and seventy-three dot tarn an overpaid.
