Senatorial Immorality It seems that Revels, the negro Senator from Mississippi has been discovered not to be by any means a Joseph, and some ugly stories are being circulated about his gal lantries among the frail sisters of his race. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald is inclined to think the sable Senator can not be much worse in that re spect than some of his Radical white breth ren. He says: " I heard a Senator say the other night thus :—" Newspapers are too - ckless in making the most serious cht in our days. They have ceased to e. iise the power they once had owing to . , t very reason. I mean they have lost i t con trolling influence they formerly possessed, because the public has come to believe that reliance can no longer be placed upon the statements of the bulk of newspapers." The Senator who made that remark may be above reproach himself—and as far as I know he is—but he don't comprehend everything under the sun, or he is too char itable to Ins brother Senators. Has he been blind to the condition of three or four of his brothers, who, time after time, have staggered into the chamber with liquor heated brains thickened, maudlined utter once and tottering limbs? Has he not heard of the looseness of others, " good fellows" though they be in other respects? lies he been denied the late and rich gossip about ono Senator caught In an assignation house, another exposed with a colored lady in a boarding house, another expelled front the drawing room of a young and Food looking widow on account of an indecent proposal? Has he not heard how the good looking widow seized the sword of her departed husband, and, brand ishing it in a theatrical way, compelled the aged and sinful Senator to beat a hasty re treat, leaving Ids hat and overcoat behind US trophies? Is ho unacquainted with the harrowing tale of that frail young wife who got divorced from her husband because a her Western Senator, 'famed for Ids cham pionship of all the philanthropic move ments of the age, came like the serpent in to the home, and, by his tetepti n g promises, induced'her to forget the sacred ties of matrimony, to deserthetne 'and husband, and afterwards left her in destitution, and drove her to. the life of the professional wanton ? If ho has not hoard of those and other cases that might be mentioned his innocent protest against the recklessness of the press is susceptible of explanation.— But the bulk of his Senatorial breth ren cannot be so unconscious of the realities, and therefore it was that I ventured the suggestion that mere im morality might not, under existing cir cumstances, be a good cause of objection to Revels. In saying which, I by no means am committed to the statement, that the stories about Revels' career in Kansas and elsewhere are veracious. They may only be the invention of some enemy who de- Hires that the shadow of an obstacle may be presented to Revels' admission in order to,blacken his character. More About the Colored Mimed.ippi Senator—lie la More Indian than Afri can. The Nashville Union gives a sketch of the colored United States Senator elect from Mississippi, which shows that he is more Indian titan African, very nearly a full blooded aborigine. The Union adds: There is very little negro in him. Per sons who pass up and down Cedar street to and front the Capitol see on the north side of the street a drug store with the sign of Revels & Arry." The store is No. iii, and the senior partner of the establishment is Willis It. Revels, a brother of the veritable Mississippi Senator, who has taken his seat at the buck of Charles Sumner. His resi dence is No. 62 Cumberland alley. We know something of Senator Revels. Hiram Rhodes Revels was born in Chat ham county, N. C., and will be fifty years of age on the 15th of June next. His pa ternal ancestry was Indian of the Choctaw tribe. His father was the Rev. Elijah Re vels, who was a mixture of Indian and African, the former preponderating. His father was reported as " big injun" in times of auld lang syno from the Mississippi's reser cation, and his grandfather, it is claim ed, fought with the patriots at Stony Point, with Mad Anthony Wayne. So much for the slocestry. Hiram Rhodes grew up as boys general ly do. Nothing remarkable about that.— Being very young at the time of his birth, he was, in early youth, started to school, and graduated at Galesburg College, Illi nois, at the prococious age of thirty-six, when and where at which time he was re garded as a peculiarly sprightly boy. Between the ages of thirty-six and forty five he did that extraordinary feat of what we old fogies call sowing wild oats. But there was a change Hiram (that is a great name) went to Baltimore, where ho re mained for a while in the Monumental City. From there be went to Louisville, Ky., and we doubt not but the everlasting span of the big bridge which is to be "swung to-morrow" owes its completion somewhat to his sojourn there. From Louisville he went to St. Louis, and from statistics it is inferred that the larger popu lation claimed by the latter city over Cm cinnati is because Hiram Rhodes didn't stop in Porkopolls. Thenceward Hiram went to Vicksburg, arriving in Bluff City in 1860. From there his peregrinations led him to Leavenworth, Kan., and from that freedom-shrieking region back to Louis ! ville. Finally he glided noiselessly and I imperceptibly on his wayto Natchez under I the hill. In that city in 1869 he was elected a member of the City Council, of which he remained till with'Alcorn he was sent to the United States Senate from Mississippi. He vegetates in Washington with, es we understand, a respectable colored family, and his chief regret with his Nashville brother is that Sumner sits in front of him in the Senate chamber, which is attributa ble, probably, to the fact that Hiram Rhodes is not full " nigger." Revels and his brother were never slaves or in bondage. • There were 313 deaths in Philadelphia last week, an increase of 39 over the uumber for the previous week. Twenty six of the deaths were from scarlet fever, OrriaL' Why Cameras.Lett It-He litaaigaied the SeeretaryalepadWar Allarldr.

The Atlantic ilfosehtY for FehrunrZ con tains an eloquent and just tribute to theists Hon. Edwin M. Stanton,. from the pen of Senator Wilsan, of Massachusetts. Coniing as it does from a gentleman of highcharac ter for integrity, and one-who is presumed to have been bin:Die inside political movements of the Lincoln administration., the vindication of the truth of history re quires that one paragraph of his otherwise unexceptionable paper should be corrected. He says: "The impatience of the public mind at the delays found expression in harsh and generally undeserved criticisms upon the War Department. Mr. Cameron felt the pressure of multiplied labors that crowded upon him and ho was not insensible to ad verse criticisms. He proposed to resignpro- Meted some one should be appointed not un friendly to his policy. lie suggested the appointment of Mr. Stantcm. The President acted upon the suggestion, accepted res ignation, and tendered h i m the mission to Russia. Mr. Stanton was then named Sec retary of War, with the hearty concurrence of every member of the Cabinet except Montgomery Blair, who bitterly opposed the appointment." A writer in Lippinmitee Maqazine for February also discusses the retirement of Mr. Cameron from the Cabinet, and ap proaches the truth, but does not fully ea plain the circumstances connected with Mr. Stanton's appointment. Mr. Cameron was removed from the War Department by Mr. Lincoln without any previous notice of the purpose of the Presi dent to make the change at the time. He never did resign, and was not consulted by Mr. Lincoln as to his successor. The correspondence published in the newspapers, purporting to be Mr. Came ron's voluntary resignation and the Presi ' dent's acceptance of the same, was an after thought. It was sugested and prepared after Mr. Cameron ha d been removed. It VMS charitably conceived to break the full of a Cabinet minister who had justly for feited the confidence of the administration and of the country, and whose dismissal was an imperious necessity to save the na tional credit. The first knowledge Mr. Cameron had of his "resignation" was communieated to him in a letter from the President, infirm ing him that Mr. Stanton had been, or would be, nominated as Secretary of War, and that he (Cameron) had been determined upon for the Russian mission. The letter was delivered to Mr. Cameron by Mr. Chase. - . I saw the letter very soon after it had been delivered, and distinctly remembered not only its general contents, but also the bitterness with which Mr. Cameron com plained of the manner of his removal. His resignation was not requested, nor had it then boon given. The withdrawal of Mr. Lincoln's letter and the substitution of a correspondence, antedating the removal, was suggested to Mr. Cameron in my presence. and Mr. Lin coln's generous disposition was discussed and confidently robed upon to make hint consent to such a correspondence. Ile was apealed to on the subject, and agreed to it. Letters were then prepared giving the dis missal of Mr. Cameron the appearance of a voluntary and cordial retirement from the Cabinet, and Senator Wilson was ungesutionably misled thereby. If Mr. Cameron `proposed to resign,' as Senator Wilson states, I happened to be one of several, at least, who know that it was some time after Mr. Stanton had been installed as the Minister of War.- Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Stannton are both dead, and it is due to the memory of both that the appointment of Mr. Stanton shall not be made to appear falsely in history as having been dictated or suggested by Mr. Cameron, or intended to perpetuate his policy. The change was made to redeem the tiovernment from the deadly atmos phere of corruption that came up from the seething caldron of the War Department. It was demanded not only by every dictate of patriotism, but it was formally and per emptorily called for in financial circles, with the positive assurance that no addi tional loans could be negotiated until dis honesty and incompetency were dethroned from the head of the War office. That de mand removed Mr. Cameron, and it wa fully met by the appointment of Mr. Stan ton. A. K. McCtunn. Philadelphia, February 11, 1870. The Poster-Covode Case The last stage in this gross outrage on the sacred right of representation has been reached, and John Covode has been sworn in as a member of Congress from the dis trict which elected Henry D. Foster. In the discussion of the case on Wednesday, Mr. Randall, a member of the Committee on Elections, made an able and exhaustive speech in support of the claims of Mr. Fos ter, and was well sustained by Messrs. Stiles, of this State, and Mr. Burr, of Illinois. But the tricksters had resolved on giving the seat to Covode, and all argument was utterly wasted on the Radical majority. Mr. Randall presented the following reca pitulation of the true vote in the case : Foster's admitted majority 41 Add illegal votes cast for Covode, as appears in the arguments, not em bracing persons of unsound mind, 20 of which are conceded by the majority report, as per schedules marked A and 854 ... Add votes offered to be cast for Foster, but illegally rejected by the election Foster's majority Deduct illegal votes east for Foster, in cluding those votes east by lunatics, claimed and established by majority report, as per schedule C 36 Add votes offered to be cast for Co vodet but illegally rejected by the election officers 6 Add vote supposed for Foster in ex cess of tally-list of names in Se wickly township Also one of like character in South Huntingdon Actual majority for Foster To overcome this majority it was neces sary to throw away the entire-vote in the two districts of Dunbar township, Fayette county,and Youngstown in Westmoreland. The attempt was first made to prove illegal votes in these two districts. That failing, there was nothing left except to throw away the entire vote. There is nothing more simple and easy when a Radical committee in Congress in resolved to perpetrate a fraud. This has become so familiar in their practice that it has long since ceased to excite the slightest surprise, no matter how monstrous the invasion of the sanctity of the ballot-box. With a creature like John Cessna on the Committee of Elections, such an outrage as this on the rights of the peo ple of the Westmoreland District, is regard ed as a matter of course by all who know him.—Patriot. A Steamer Explodes Her Boller•—Four Persons Hilted—The Hoot and Cargo I:==! MEMPHIS, Feb. 11.—The following is the very latest from the steamer Maggie Hays: HELENA, Feb. 11.—The steamer Maggie Hays, of Pittsburg, exploded her middle boiler in the centre of Island No. 60, on her way from New Orleans, at 1.35 P. M., yesterday. The boat being filled with straw caught fire, and burned until she sunk.— Captain Barney Martin was blown into the air from the hurricane roof and his body was afterwards found in the hold. The second engineer, Hervey INPDermitt, was badly scalded and died at 5 o'clock. John Reese; the second clerk, was slightly scald ed. Three deck hands and one fireman were killed and their bodies were either blown into the river or buried in the wreck. No other officers or any passengers were hurt. M'Dermitt was buried on the Arkansas side at the foot of Island No. 66. Capt. Martin's body was brought to Helena ou the steamer Commercial, at which pace it will be em balmed and vent to Cincinnati. The steamer Commercial, coming up, landed and took on board all of the sur vivors who will arrive this evening at Memphis. The following additional particulars have been learned here: ' A number of ladies from Pittsburg, who were aboard on a pleasure trip, escaped unhurt. The first clerk came by rail to this city some days ago, and has been here ever since waiting for the boat. He leaves for the scene of the disaster by the first boat. It is reported that the boilers were defective, and it is as serted that the explosion did not surprise some men who knew the boat. She is a complete wreck. She was owned by Cap tain Ben. Courson and James Reese, of Pittsburg, and was worth about $15,000. It is not likely that any insurance will - be available. She was destined for St. Louis, and after this trip was to have entered the St. Louis and Pittsburg trade. The cargo on board was light and con sisted almost entirely of sugar. The former second engineer made a lucky escape by leaving the boat at New Orleans. The man who succeeded him was killed. The arrival of the Commercial here is anxiously looked for, as she has all on board that were saved. Chaise and Sharswood In January, 1864, the District Court for the city and county of Philadelphia, 'had before it two cases in which the constitu tionality of the legal-tender act was involv ed. In one of the cases the debtor had offered legal-tender notes in payment of a mortgage, and the money was refused, whereupon citation issued against the pa yee . The majority opinion of the Court held the act to be constitutional. Judge Shars wood, however, delivered an elaborate opinion, traversing all the ground essen tially occupied by Chief Justice Chase, in the case lately decided in the Supreme Court of the United States and which sustains Judge Sharswood. After thoroughly stat ing the case, Judge Sharswood sums up as follows: "On the whole, then, I am of the opinion that the provision of the act of Congress of February 25, 1882, declaring the notes issued in pursuance of that act to be lawful money and a legal-tender, is un constitutional." For this he was denounced by the Radi cal press throughout the State, as a "cop perhead," "traitor," die. Time and the Su preme Court have demonstrated the sound ' nessof his views.—Pfftsburg Post. eg cow tam . _ .

Some weelisagoM.r: obn o:Johnson, one of.the Iteeitest'cleika at ployed by Assistant Treasurer Polgar, while wonting a bag of this coin, noticed several suspiciotu3 pieces of a peculiar color and slightly differing in general appearance from the others, There seemed to be no particular points of difference, but *Mr. Johns= thought he had handled too many five-cent pieces to be mistaken. He threw out a dozen of the coins, and called Mr. Folger's attention to them. Mr. Johnson told Mr. Folger that he was confident they were counterfeit, and Mr. Folger agreed with him. The oldest and most experienced clerks however, seemed to think they were genuine. The die was so well executed, and the alloy was so skil fully made that it was impossible to decide whether they were genuine or counterfeit. At the suggestion of Mr. Folger, Mr. John son sent four of the spurious coins to the United States Mint in Philadelphia. The following letter was received from THE DIRECTOR OF THE MINT OEFICE OF THE U. S. MINT, ll PHILADELPHIA, Feb 7, 1870. DEAD, SIB; Your letter of the 31st ultimo enclosing eight five-cent coins, received at the L.S. Treasury, and requesting infor mation as to their genuineness, has been received. After personal examination I .submitted the coins to our Assayer for a definite assay and report. I herewith en close the report of Mr. Eckfeldt, the As sayer, which confirms the judgment I had formed of the coins. Four are genuine, and four are counterfeit. In addition to what Mr. Eckfeldt has said, I may say, as a further test, you will find the motto 'ln God we trust," a good deal larger in the counterfeit than in the genuine. The yel low color of the counterfeitwill also aftbrd some test, &c. This appearance is caused by the presence of zinc, which is not in the genuine. I have retained one of the coun terfeits. The other etiinsj return here with. Yours truly, JAMES I'OLLOCK, Director. .1 a J. N O. JOHNSON, U. 8. Treasury, N. Y MINT OF THE L. S., I PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 5, 1870. Hon. Jae. Pollock, Director, &c: DEAR Sin: The five-cent nickel-copper pieces sent by Mr. Johnson, of the United States Treasury at New York, have given occasion to an interesting and important examination—the first of the kind that we have been called on to make. Hitherto the counterfeits of this coin have usually been caste; but we have hero a coinage, with dies. There were eight pieces. At first sight the general appearance, as to engraving and color, led to the belief that four were genuine and four counterfeit; which, on further trial, proved to bo the fact. Our most ready test, with all kinds of coin, is the weight, which counterfeiters can seldom bring to right. The true weight is 77 1-6 rains. Three of the phces were grossly in error, being under 70 grains •,a fourth suspected piece happened to be just right. This last piece was subjected to assay, and proved to con tain 14 per cont. nickel, instead of 25, the lawful proportion. It also contained a large proportion of zinc. making in fact, the usual "German silver." The dies were the same as in the other three, except the date, 1860, the others being 1868 and 1867. All of these four pieces have a yellowish tint, and the engraving is false and coarse, but not sufficiently so to :be detected by a hasty inspection. On the whole, it is a dangerous issue, and proves that, with more skill in engraving and alloying, great frauds could be practised. The genuine pieces wore close to the legal weight. In this respect we have always found an admirable conformity of our five cent piece as often as we have had occasion to try it. The specific gravity of the good pieces is 8.98, or might be called 9; of the bad pieces 8.72 of which, in the hands of a careful weigher, would bo a sure and conclusive test. The pieces, except the one assayed, are returned. Respectfully, yours, dre., J. R. ECKFELDT, Assayer. On inquiry at the Sub-Treasury, we learn that over twenty out of every hundred of the five-cent nickel coins received there are counterfeits. This fact will give the public same idea of their immense circulation. How the Veto Wan Received In Barrio burg and Philadelphia. HARRISBURG, Feb. 10. The Metropolitan Police bill was sent to the Senate to-day, about half-past twelve o'clock. It was entirely unexpected. It appears that early this morning the Attorney Gen eral had an interview with the Governor. The Attorney General was known to be favorably disposed toward the bill. The interview lasted from about nine o'clock till the time at which the bill was sent into the Senate, all the power of the Attorney General not having sufficed to convince the Governor that the bill was right. Aa soo us the reading was commenced in the Sen ate the excitement began. The Democrats and Senator Lowry were Jubilant. Large numbers of the members of the House, and many Philadelphians who were in Harris burg, hastened to the Senate chamber to listen to the reading. At the conclusion of the reading, a mo- tion was made to consider the veto, and by vote of the Senate either to susthin it or pass the bill by a two-thirds vote. The latter course was impossible, and finally the consideration was postponed by a vote of la to 15. Subsequently there was much excitement in both Houses, and in the Senate chamber many heated controversies. The Governor's private Secretary, Dr. Gihon, at one time entered the House and speedily became involved in a discussion as to the Governor's course. It was inti mated that his Excellency had been influ enced by corrupt motives. This was stoutly denied by the Secretary, and in the sharp and spicy controversy which ensued, Republican members of the House, special representatives of the Phil adelphia newspapers and visiting politi cians became involved. The general tone of the message exceeded the views of the most sanguine Republican members. They had supposed that even if there was a veto, it would be for some special clause in the Police bill, which might be remedied by subsequent legisla tion. Instead of this, however, the veto of the Governor complains not only of the machinery of the bill, but of its principles. It is very doubtful if any similar project will be attempted. Even the friends of the measure concede the impossibility of pass ing an v hill. ThePhlladelphia Morning Post, Radical, says: The announcement of the veto of the Me- . _ tropolitan Police bill by Governor Geary yesterday created intense excitement in the city. The Republicans who favored the bill couldn't understand how the Governor could have the daring to turn his back upon them, and they censured him in terms most uncomplimentary. Liar, dead-beat, and other such titles were heaped on the devot ed head of the hero of Lookout Mountain, and he was votoed:the most unworthy of all human beings in this Commonwealth. The Republicans opposed to the bill con gratulated each other and pronounced the Governor's head level. Of course the Democrats were Jubilant Mining Accidents. According to official reports from May Ist to December 31st, 1869, there were 57 men killed and 91 injured in the coal mines of Schuylkill county, Pa. Of the deaths, Pt were caused by falls of coal, 9 by explosions of powder, 4 by explosions of gas, and 3 men were killed by being crushed by the cars. Of the injuries, 36 were(aused by the explosion of gas, 21 by the falling of coal, 9 by explosion of powder, and 8 by being crushed by the cars. Thirty women were made widows, and over 132 children were made orphans. The deaths during the eight months reported were one to every 67,800 tons of coal mined, and the injuries, one to every 42,400 tons of coal mined. If the Berne proportion of accidents occurred during the first four months of 1869 as during the last eight months, the number of deaths for the whole year would amount to 72, and of injuries to 115. It is estimated that at least one-sixth of the men who were injured but not killed outright, have subse quently died from their injuries, so that the casualties in mining 4,883,000 tons of coal, amount to 91 killed, and 96 wounded, or one loss of life for every 53,670 tons of coal mined. This is a much heavier fatality than in British coal mines. Statistics show that in all the mines of England, Scotland and Wales, in 1867, there were 1011 deaths, or ono death for every 103,000 tons of coal mined. The following figures are given in Ere' B Dictionary, as the result of the exam ination of ten years' returns of colliery accidents in Great Britian, involving loss of life. Number of accidents each year, 851. Lives lost by above accidents, 1009. Num ber of collieries, 3180. Quantity of coal raised annually, 94000,000 tons. One life lost for every 93,161 tons. Value of coal raised at pits' mouth, $115,000,000. One life lost in the production of coal to the value of $109,015. Horrible Cruelty and Savage Murder Committed by Negroes—The Victim one of their own Coo r. FORT MONROE, Feb. 11.—A most brute. murder was committed in Norfolk county a day or two since, at a place called Hickory Ground, the particulars of which are as fol lows: A negro family named Seguine, had a boy in their employ whom they sent to a grocery store to purchase a dollar's worth of pork, giving him a $lO note. The boy purchased the pork, but on the way tack he lost the nine dollars change. Seguine charged the boy with stealing the money and gave him an unmerciful -beat ing with a horsewhip, breaking his collar bone. On the following morning the boy started off with the intention of having Seguine arrested for beating him.— Seguine fearing the .result, started in pursuit of the boy, accompanied by one or two others of the family. They overtook the boy near a piece of woods into which they dragged him, and in their fiendish rage cut out his tongue by the roots, after which they ended his sufferings by cutting his throat from ear to ear and hid the body in the woods. The boy'eAbsence was no ticed, suspicion was aroused, and a num ber of other negroes started in search of the boy, whose boy was discovered where the Seircatilis had left it. Sheriff Stevens pro ceeded to the place to hold an inquest, while the Seguines getting wind of it, left suddenly for parts unknown. The missing change was afterwards found near the house where Seguin resided. - A infhoctfy report on the idiettel - Trauda inikellitriodrat /Yea Maori idlkifew York, signed by- ey, Henry Slicer and 'others,-_vegitrditfitembemrafkimploying a middleman to •pnrie for the.. hittiSte as tlialnafittlir and - discreditable tftPecially since it appillart•that in the article of paper the said middle,tnim , has been paid Com missions •• en paper , did: not' • buy, but which wee- : ordered directly from the house:.

The appropriation of gold sweepings by the head of the bindery, amounting to at least _twelve handrail dollars a year,, is another ground of complaint. The minority feels compell ed to say also that the methods, of making purchases in the printing department, the methods of paying wages and keeping ac eounts thereof in the bindery, and the methods of checking Invoices of goods re calved, have been defective, and likely, therefore, to lead to losses. They at the same time; express their belief and hope that the book committee's investigations have so far awakened attention, and will lead to such improvements in the methods of business, that the Book Concern will b secured to a very great extent against the possibility of similar irregularities and losses hereafter. The New York Sun, 77111438, and other journals, in view of these disclosures, com ment with severity upon the general man agement of the Book Concern, and call for a sweeping reform at once, if it expects to retain the confidence of the Methodist public.

'4 wuuLAR.—A correspondent of the In quirer writes that a singular looking hu man being, who is insane, travels through West Earl township, this county. For the last sixteen years his course is from a point near the foot of the Furnace 'Moun tains, in Clay township, thence through the western part of Ephrata to West Earl, crossing the Reading and Columbia road near Forney's Tavern, and he is known to travel as far south as Fairville, a village in East Earl, a distance of about 18 miles. Over this route he passes sometimes in one day. He is about five feet nine inches high, well built, has sandy hair and wears poor clothing. He has always on his head the same old cap he wore before he began his travels, some sixteen years ago. He Is known as the cap-man. He never stops at any_ house in this neighborhood, though I have often entreated him to do it. I have offered him food, but he always signifies his refusal by shaking his head. I have never heard him talk. Where ho gets his food I have never been able to learn. Can any one,who may see this notice, give ad ditional particulars of the wanderings of this remarkable man ? THE AMERICAN BOTANIST AND FLORIST comes to us from A. S. Barnes Co., a duodecimo volume of nearly 400 pages, into which are condensed the materials usually filling a series on the same subject. A new feature is a series of Synoptical Tables, in tended for blackboard use. The Flora com prises all plants found within the States east of the Mississippi. Among those to whom the author (Alphonso Wood, A. M.,) acknowledges his obligationsfor contribu tions, is Prof T. C. Porter, formerly of Franklin and Marshall. By cereal avoid ance of repetitions, more matter is con densed into this book: than is contained in double the number of pages in any similar work. It is well worth the price, (12.50, and we recommend it to all who are about be ginning this interesting study.

Editors: Quite a change in the weather has taken place in our vicinity, in the last few days. The snow storm of last Tuesday has ob structed out-door work, an]. has also made traveling with wheeled conveyances un pleasant. But the Jingle of bells and ale igh ing is going on very briskly. Should the snow remain on the fields, as it now is, for several weeks or .a month,. it will give favorable protection to the wheat and add wealth thereby to the eountry. , This is the most trying season to grain and grass fields, as the freezing and thawing of the ground, alternately every day and night, generally, in this and next month, exposes the roots by lifting the plants; RELIGIOUS REVIVAL.-A revival is in pro gress at Ephrata Mountain Springs. For the past fortnight the German Methodists, or United Brethren, have been holding a series ofineetings there. A goodly number have already renounced the world and taken up the cross. The Rev, Mr .Mertz officiates. This denomination has no place of worship in the village, consequently! Capt. Fredericks, of the Mountain Springs, tendered them the use of an out-building large enough for their purpose. Punsonam.—Prof. S. S.

Ty ler's Character Heretofdre Good.—The fol lowing letter written by Hon. James A. Johnson, M. C. from California, to the ed itors of the Express goes far to vindicate Mr. Tyler from the unjust suspicions which have been created against Mr. T. by our cotemporary: WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 4, 1870. To the Editors of the La-press: Your letter of the RI instant, containing an article from the West Chester Record, reached me yesterday, but I have not yet received your Express containing the arti cle to which you allude. My letter of De cember 14th, to my friend Andrews, was simply in answer to the questions he asked and was written in the belief that Mr. Ty ler claimed to have taken advice from the old firm of Williams & Johnson, of which I was a member. The belief that Mr. Ty ler so represented his case naturally led me to the further belief that he was not honest. Not knowing of the existence of any other Law firm of Williams & John son, and being asked by my friend if there existed any such firm, before answering I examined the latest published Law Reg ister. and finding no mention of such firm I concluded there was no such. I was mistaken, however, for there is a law firm of that name, and has been for more than a year in Nevada [county], California. I do not know that I am acquainted with either Mr. Johnson or Mr. ; therefore I have made inquiries as to who they are, and RIO assured by the best au thority that they are gentlemen of integrity and high character. Fearing that my let ter to Mr. Andrews, which never was in tended for publication, had done Mr. Ty ler an injury, I took the trouble to find out something of him, rather hoping to find him well reported. Front what I have been able to learn of Mr. Tyler, his character has heretofore been good, and unless there is something in this will ease, of which know nothing, to taint him with suspicion, ho ought to be received as an honest man. As an act of justice you will perhaps, oblige all concerned by publishing this— you will very greatly oblige me. Please send me a copy of your paper. \ ours respectfully, OZ=l2=9 REGISTER'S OFFlCE.—Letters or tom in - tration have been granted by the Register on the following estates since the 22d Olt.: Geo.

The conclusion arrived at was, that while it an swered in some cases, in others it was found to kill the plants also. Among the resolutions passed was one authorizing the President of the Society to appoint a gentleman in each district of Lancaster county, whose duty it shall be to report to the meetings of the Society the condition and prospects of the crops, and to furnish to these meetings such other in formation of his neighborhood as may be of interest to the members of the Society. ONlONS.—Although the onion has long been a favorite garden vegetable, com mended for its medicinal properties and valued on account of its many uses in the culinary department, it is not generally known that it is one of the very best reme dies for coughsand colds which can be pos sibly used by the afficted. A raw onion, or one roasted in the ashes, eaten before retir ing to bed, will allay the tickling sensation accompayning colds and bronchial affections and secure for the patient a sound and re freshing sleep. Persons often pay large sums of money for nostrums and prepara tions which are represented as cure-all by their proprietors, who could obtain a speedier and 'more certain relief in the use of a few onions which almost every family has in the house. Try it and learn for yourselves.—Exchange. COMPUTING INTEREST.—A now way of computing interest on any number of dol lars at six per cent. which appears simple : —Multiply any given number of dollars by the number of days of interest desired ; separate the right hand figure, and divide by MX ; the result is the true interest of such sum for such - number of days at six per cent. This rule is so simple and so true according to all business usages, that every banker, broker, merchant or clerk should post it up for reference. There be ing no such thing as a fraction in it, there is scarcely any liability to error or mistake. By no other arithmetical process can the desired information be obtained by so few figures. BIRD BOXES.—People who desire the music of songbirds, or the labor of birds to aid in protecting fruit from insects next season, should lose no. time in putting out among their trees and shrubbery a good number of bird boxes. All who supply houses for the birds this winter, will find their gardens next spring resound with the twitter of the wren and blue bird, while their shrubbery will be cleared of vermin.

WAINNV/CS TOWNSHIP.—Warwick is one of the oldest townships in Lancaster coun ty, and is bounded on the north by. Fl beth, east, by Clay and Ephrata, south by Manheim, and west by Penn. It contains more little villages and towns than any other township in the county. There are nine in number, namely: Litiz, Warwick, New Raven, Lexington, Brunneraville, Rothsville, Rome, Millport and Millway. It has nine hotels, four restaurants or lager beer saloons, one distillery, now run ning, and several others not in operation. It has six grist and merchant mills, nine stores, besides a number of merchant tailor and trimming stores four post-offices, and one iron foundry anti machine shop. The Reading and Columbia Railroad runs through it from east to west, and di vides it into two almost equal parts; it has three stations, namely: Litiz, Rothsville, and Millway. Litiz has a large warehouse, two coal and lumber-yards; the ono is carried on by . Messrs. Brunner and Black, the other, with the warehouse, by Messrs. Bomberger and Reed, who' are also acting agents for the Reading Railroad Company. Milway has a warehouse and lumber and wal-yard, which is carried on by Mr. Peter Bentz., who is also agent for the Reading Railroad Company. Rothsville has a coal yard carried on by Mr. Bender.—lnquirer.

The steam flour mill, the property of N. P. foyer, is for rent, as the parties run .It at present have made arrangements to go into business elsewhere. The cellars of four houses have been com menced in this village, but tho weather of last week boa put a stop to that kind of work. TROUT FrsniNo.—Our readers may not lie generally aware of the fact that the Leg islature of Pennsylvania, on the 21 - st day of April, 1869, passed a pretty stringent law for the protection of trout. It prohib its the fishing for them at all seasons of the year, by any other means or devices ex cept by hook and line, and forbids the cap turing of them in that manner except in the months of April, May, June and Julv. Persons are positively prohibited from fish ing for them in any way, during any other time of the year. The law imposes a pen alty of five dollars for a violation of its provisions and, also, imposes a penalty of five dollars upon any officer neglecting to make report of violations which may come under his notice.

MAN KILLED.—We learn from the Har risburg Teleiraph, that a man by the name of George Miller, a resident of Columbia, and a brakeman on the Columbia local freight train, was instantly killed at about 1 o'clock on Thursday, on the Pennsylva nia railroad, in the rear of C. E. Jausa' ho telov bile in the act of uncoupling two freight cars on said train. The cars were being shifted and he had his legs on the bumper of each car, and when the cars parted, he fell on the track, and the flange of one or the wheels caught his head and mashed the right side of it in a terrible manner. His right band was pretty badly mashed also. The deceased was an ola railroader. GOOD TEMPLARS' COUNTY CONVENTION A (Mod Templars' County Convention was held, on Friday, at the Temperance Hall, corner of Orange and North Queen streets, this city. D. S. Bursk, W. C. T., presided ; Mrs. Sallie Embree acted as Sec retary. A series of Resolutions were offered, which, after amendment and considerable discussion, were adopted. Marietta was selected as the place for holding thenext County Convention on the second Friday in May. J. S. Geist, of Ma rietta, was elected Worthy Chief Templar. Miss Josie Ball was elected Secretary for the ensuing year. SAD ACCIDENT.—On Monday afternoon while Amos Hess was in the act of plaiuing off some lumber, in the Machine Works of Landis & Co., of this city, he thoughtlessly put his hand within reach of the cylinder on which the knives are, while running at a speed of about 3,000 revolutions per min nute. Mr. Hess lost the first, second, and broke the remaining fingers of his right ham/. The Messrs. Landis had frequently warned him, with the rest, of the danger about machinery while in operation. Dr. Frantz was immediately called for, the wounds dressed and he is doing finely. NEEDS STAMPING.—Many persons sup pose that after having receivad a letter ad dressed to some friend or acquaintance, all they have to do to make it reach the per son (who has left the place in the mean time) is to change the address merely and drop it in the postoffice. The Postoffiee Department has decided that all letters in tended to be forwarded must, after having passed from the custody of the postoffice, be prepaid by stamps in the same manner as though the letters had never been taken in the mail. If they are not so prepaid they are held for postage and sent to the dead letter office as unpaid matter. DECLINING.—The price of coal in the large cities continues to decline, and as the "backbone" of the winter is broken, so to speak, the speculators for a rise have a de cidedly blue lookout, especially since the production of the mines, with but few ex ceptions, is steadily on the increase. We hope it will not be long before we are ena bled to record a corresponding reduction In breadstuff:4, provisions clothing and house rent.
