Cuba Overwhelmed by a Terrible Flood HAVANA, October 17.—Re-established hommunications with the interior of the island and with the north and south coasts at last enable me to write of the losses, damage, and disasters caused by the storm of hurricane of the 7th and Bth outside of Havana and immediate vicinity. Matanzas is the place worst dealt with, and the reports from there aro indeed sad ones. Nearly 900 houses swept away and about 1000 lives lost tell at once how overwhelming was the storm there. The city is bhilt on the bay or the same name, and upon the banks of two rivers—the San Juan and the Yumuri —which empty their waters into the bay hardly hairs mile apart. From its peculiar ' location Matanzas is often called by the B.ninlarda "la Cindad de 108 Doe Ries"— thor City of the Two Rivers "—and this peculiar location was chiefly the means of the disasters It suffered. The storm was of rain Its well as of wind, and the, heavy showers soon swelled the waters of the San Juan and Yumuri to overflowing heights. On the opposite banks of the two rivers were small suburbs, the two principal ones built around the two railway stations of the city. Two bridges over the San Juan and ono over the Yumuri connected these sub urbs with Matanzas, ono of the San Juan 'bridges having cost $120,000, and was there fore a very fine one. These bridges caught the descending drift in its course to the bay along their piers, and soon species of flame were formed that forced the accumulating waters of the two rivers yet faster from their natural beds • and worse still, the wind coming from the east drove the waters of the bay over the front streets of the city, and up the two rivers, thus preventing the streams from discharging their fast increas ing volumes in their regular way. At 1 a. 3f., (of the Bth) the liallen bridge gave way, and was soon a perfect w reck.— Quickly the Yumuri bridge and the re maining one of the San Juan followed. Then the advancing waters of the bay and the descending, overflowing ones of the two rivers met, and commingling for a ter rible work of destruction, swept furiously VI the right and left, front and rear, and in undated the wards of Pueblo, Nuevo and kin do Aga, part that of Versailles, and all the tillilllrbM on the opposite sides of the two rivers, the water rising in the city proper as far us San Francisco street. Most of the houses in the inundated wards and suburbs were of but ono floor, and as iu many streets the water attained a height of fifteen feet, they proved of Litt little pro tection to their inmates. Besides, the waters bore against the buildings with such power that many wore quickly brok en up par tienlarly as the wind, which then reached its greatest strength, and the rain, Which fell Sister and har4ler than ever, ilia- tonally assisted in tho devastation. — The inhabitant , of the inundated wards wero nine to render but little assistance to their fe:low-eiti•rens of the insulated wards and suburbs, its the wind extended its work a dustniction to their lePtlle'., un roofing loathes, ilortiolialiing lev eling trees to the ground, and doing other damage.

The station and suburb were among the tired places inundated, 111141 badly Inundated too, the waters rising there to fourteen Met. All the houses of the suburb, ' built of wood, find nearly all inhabited by the employees of the railroad company and their families, and by the company's China -111011 and negroes anti their families, were swept, away. Tie, railway sheds and Mikes, ears, ;mil locomotives, then shared the name fate, and finally the station building, itself—ill which over a lion .dre.il human beings had assembled for sheltor against the storm-also gave way, only the front wall and part of the left-side wall remaining.

Secretary Cots Resignation WASIIINtITON, Oct. Ph—President Brant returned front the Frederick horse,tayes in good huinor on Friday night, despiCia the fact that his favorite horse was distanced. But yesterday morning ho was furious when he learned that Secretary Cox's resig nation had got into the newspapers. It was AO part of the White House programme that the fact should heroine known at pros 4.int. Pox and Grant were old army friends, .and their personal relations are still of the .most friendly character. President ti rant, however, had not strength to withstand the political pressure, and he was willing to sacrifice his friend to appease the impracticables who are leading the Republican party to its ruin. Even as late as eleven o'clock. on Friday 'light, and Immediately after his return fro Freder ick, the President denied that Fox's resig nation had been accepted, while admitting 4.hat it had been tendered. Even yesterday morning he denied the fact, until he ascor .taincd that others had divulged the secret. 'Then he became very angry, but was com pelled to admit, as gracefully as lie could, that he had been prevaricalidg. (Arent intended all along that the resigna tion should be kept a secret until after the November elections; but the Republican •Gommittee, having obtained their infor mation from the men who had brought it About, thought it too geod to keep. When Secretary Fox accepted the Into :tor Department portfolio he did it with the .understanding that Grant's administration was pledged to reform, and he set about honestly to make reforms, iu order to ele vate the tone and increase the efficiency of the civil service, lie did what he could to keep politics out of the Interior Depart ment at least, and for this the ultra men of the party demanded his head, and the Pres ident had not the moral courage to resist the demand.—N.- Y.

It was perceptible in all parts of the city, houses were shaken, and to such an extent, as to set in motion all suspended objects, it was, of course, more perceptible in the upper stories of houses, and in many instances, the motion was felt In the lower, and even in the basement stories. The children and teachers in several of the schools were quite alarmed, and there was a rush from some of them to escape. Persons engaged on fine work like en graving and drawing, found themselves compelled to suspend operAtions for a min I ute or'two. In some houses tin-ware was made to rattle, and everywhere chandliers vibrated alarmingly. The motion was most perceptible on the hills, where the shock was so distinct that it was supposed there had been a heavy explosion in the neigh borhood. Many in their terror ran ont of their houses. No damage was done to buildings. The following note is written by Prof. Hough, of Dudley Observatory: A shock of earthquake was felt here at 11.15 A M., October 29, which lasted about one minute. Walls of buildings had a very marked vibration. Open doors were made to vibrate. Objects hanging on the walls were put in motion, and even tables and chairs on ground floors Mel a sensible tre mor. At one time during the shock a rum bling 110180 was heard. Clock pendulums swinging north and south were made U vibrate east and west, showing that the earthquake passed in an eastwarilly direc tion.

Mr. Wash borne, of Illinois, gave way, as Secretary of State, to Mr. Fish, of New York. Mr. Stewart, of New York, gave way, as Secretary of Treasury, to M r. Bout well, of Massachusetts. General Rawlins, of Illinois, gave way, as Secretary of War, to General Belknap, of lowa. Mr. Boric, of Pennsylvania, gave way, as Secretary of Navy, to Mr. Robeson, of New Jersey. Oencral Pox, of Ohio, has given way, as Secretary of the Interior, probably to Mr. Delano, of the same State. Judge Boar, of Massachussetts, gave way, as Attorney- General, to Mr. Ackerman, of Georgia. Mr. Cresswell, of Maryland, the Postinast er-f moral, is the only officer who has retained his Heat in the cabinet, although only a little more than twenty months have elapsed since the original ministry was appointed. At this rate it is no won der that rumors are rife of other cabinet changes, and that it is regarded as more than possible that the cabinet will undergo another entire transformation and recon struction before the present term of the ad ministration is ended. General Grant, on coming into power, declared that if his offi cers and subordinates were not what he wished, or were not suited to their places, he would appoint others, but wo were hard: ly prepared to take him so literally at his word 69 the event has shown that we must do. Regarding the numerous changes un der Mr. Johnson's administration, and those which have already occurred under his successor, we may- conclude that there are few places, even in the fluctuations of American political life, so variable and un certain as a cabinet position.—Philadclphia Record. From Pitirburc Pirrsno 00, Oct. 25.—Information is made public hero, by a reliable party, that J, E. Hudson, of Coffins Station, Indiana, has re ceived a cable telegram from his brother 'Albert Hadson, who was a passenger by the steamer Cambria, announcing his safe ar rival at Glasgow. From this Lit would ap pear that there is at least one sprvivor who has not made known to the agents of the steamship line or English newspapers the fact of his safety, and leads to the hope that still others are safe.

Witnesses—Cadets Beacom, Taber, Dyer, Davies and A. C. Tyler. Cadet T. W. 'Wilson was the first one sworn and examined in evidence: Ito ' stated that on the day in question he came to the tent to get a drink of ice water, there he met his tent-mate, who drank first and then handed him his dipper; he took it, stooped down to the spiggot and drew some water ; just then colored cadet (Smith) came Up with the guard pail in his hand, which he pushed against Wilson; the latter told him to go away; he then stepped back; Wilson arose and went towards his tent; there was but one way to go without trans gressing a rule by crossing the sentry post No. 2, and that was to pass between where Smith stood and the tank; there was only ten inches space; Wilson said, "l.et the pass;" Smith would not move, and Wilson tried to pass and elbowed himself against Smith, who shouted, "(i—d d—n you" and other words, and struck Wilson with a cocoanut dipper; the first blow broke the dipper cup, leaving a sharp edge; the second blow laid open his left temple, cutting a vein and causing a great flow of bleod, which blind ed hint ; several more blows were exchang ed, each belaboring the other with dippers :mil lists; comrades then arrived, parted the two and urged Wilson to go with his bleeding WOUIId I the commandant; he refused and was !wilt I. the hospital; the next morning lie was alde to return to his duties.

The Fatal Accident at the Hoosac Ton The fact that three men had been drown ed in the I loosac tunnel, on Tuesday after noon, has been reported by telegraph.— We glean further particulars concerning the terrible affair front the Troy Times of Wednesday evening. It seems that opera tions upon the bed of the tunnel front the bottom of the shaft had been suspended for some time in order to enlarge the sides of the shaft so that the buckets could pass each other in ascending and descending, and in consequence of this suspension the pit became tilled with water to the depth of several feet. Yesterday, Cornelius Red ding, foreman of the shaft, James James, master mechanic, Martin Jewell, boss of one shift of men, and a Mr. Stevens, stepped into a bucket to test the fastenings of a now rope to the drum above. Upon reaching the third floor front the bottom Mr. Redding requested Stevens to step out, as everything was sale about the bucket, and he did so, the act providentially saving his life. The others continued their de scent, and when about forty-live feet below the point where Stevens stepped out of the bucket the staple connecting the rope With the drum drew out, and the three men were precipitated into the water below, a distance of forty feet. No help could be extended to them, and they were drowned almost immediately. Mr. Redding leaves a wife and one child, James a wife and two children, and Jewell a wife and several children. These men were all very valua ble in their several capacities, and their loss is severely felt. Who Is; Gen. Grant's Sec I Cousin: We have already recorded the fact that the defeat of lien. Hobert C. Schenck in the. Third District. of Ohio WEIS in a great meas ure due tot en. Grant's warm affection for his second cousin. Gen. Grant preferred to appoint his second cousin to a lucrative of fice rather than that the election of Gen. Schenck should be insured. Gen. Sehenek is beaten ; but the beloved second cousin lots the °nice, and Gen. (liana is happy. lint who is this second cousin? Ile lives in the town of Lebanon, Ohio, 01100 famous as the residence of Tom Corwin, and his name it is George 13. Johnson. Ile keeps a little wayside store in that village. Ile does not possess any qualification fur the office, except that he is Gen. Grunt's second cousi n, and was urged for the appointment by Jesse It. I irant, the President's Ilither, who also enjoylii a profitable oilier in Covington, Ky., and helps run his son's Administra- It seenis, however, that .Toluisor. was not veil only the second el/11Sill of President ;rant; on careful examination, it is lisco v - , - ered that he is but the second cousin of the President's mother. This renders the ile votion of the President in appointing him to Mike at so great a cost as the sacrifice of Gen. Schenck still more remarkable. Any man could doe good deal for his own second cousin; but to go to such a length for the second cousin of your mother is a most ex traordinary virtue. What renders Johnson's appointment still more interesting is the fact that the than school Gen. Schenck desired to have placed in the office of Assessor of Internal Revenue for that district was lien. Obadiah C.Maxwell, who had served honorably dur ing the war as a soldier. Maxwell was turned out of office, and Schenck defeated, to make room for the President's mother's cousin. Nothing more need be said.—N. Y. ,S'an. The Sewers of Paris.

Descend into either of these, and you find them as well built as those be neath the city of London, and with facili ties for cleansing them which are extreme ly suggestive of their value for strategical purposes. The subterranean drains, or galleries, are furnished with iron tram ways, along which small carts run, which aro pushed by three men, and furnished with a drop plank, which fits exactly into the drain, and pushes the mud before as it advances on the turbid waters of the great collector, between Asnieres and the Place de la Concorde, a good-sized boat is naviga ted, and the wildest stories are abroad re specting its possible uses to the enemy. Senator Cameron. HARRISBURG, Oct. 21.—There is no truth in the report that Senator Cameron was struck with paralysis at Baltimore to-day. The Senator is no w at his home in this city, A Contemplated Fraud The Philadelphia Sunday papers throw , s nne light upon the secret causes of the disturbance at the meeting of the Board of Return Judges in that city, during which Wm. B. Mann and Alexander Crawford murdered John C. Nolen. The Sunday Morning . says: There's a strange story afloat concerning the real cause of the disturbance at the meeting of the Return Judges, by which one life was lost. As is known to most of our readers, doubtless, the Return Judge of the Twenty-sixth Ward made his ap pearance at the meeting of the judges with the declaration that he was drunk on the night of the election and had lost the return of the ward. The Twenty-sixth voted strongly in favor of Creely and against O'Neill, and it is said to have been the de sign to make up a return which would give to Mr. O'Neill the certificate of elec tion. Rumor has it that a prominent mem ber of the Broad street Union League, sup posed to be a relative of Mr. O'Neill by marriage, and doing business on Chestnut street, made a corrupt bargain with cer tain parties, to whom he agreed to pay t. n thousand dollars to effect this result.— ; Three thousand dollars of this sum, it is said, was paid, and the other seven thou sand was to be forthcoming when the certificate of Mr. O'Neill's election was delivered to him. We do not know what truth there is in these statements, but as they are in the mouth of very many persons, we are bound to believe them un til they are denied by the persons implicat ed in so vile a transaction. The Broad street League prides itself on its status, and the members are much given to snubbing people who do not wear as tine clothes as they themselves do. The person implicat ed in this disgraceful, nay, wicked attempt at fraud, is a prominent member of the League—a director, we think—and it is quite impossible for "the League" to re ' main silent on the subject without making all the members a party to the infamy which must necessarily follow upon a knowledge of this transaction. The Sunday Trani9eripf says : In the midst of all the effort to cover up the contemplated fraud at the meeting of the Return Judges, it may be welljto state a few facts for the consideration of those who justify the action of the Republicans. Before the meeting of the Board a caucus of the Republican members was held, and it was then and theredetermited to so manip ulated the returns that the Twenty-sixth should not be counted. It was also agreed that a resolution inviting William B. Mann should be presented as an evidence of pretended fairness. The programme was carried out. When an amendment wasuffer ed by a Democratic member to associate Mr. Cassidy in the invitation to be present, this was agreed to; but the moment it was sug gested that as Mr. Cassidy might bo out of town, another Democratic attorney should be selected, this was opposed and voted down! The Repulicans knew what they were about. They knew they had nothing to fear from Mr. Cassidy, but they could not foretell the result if any other Demo cratic lawyer was called into the room. it was this initial fraud, conceived in caucus, and agreed upon in advance of the meeting of the Return Judges, that caused the few men to go the door of the room, not to en ter, but to prevent any but Return Judges gaining admission. It does not need any argument to show that the responsibility for all that followed rests with those who wore intent upon the commission of a gross outrage upon the voters of Philadelphia.— THE SIOUX SUN DANCE How Young - Warriors Test their Forti tude in Resisting Pain---A Horrible Scene. :tins C'orrespon.lence or the St. lotaii. Iteptffi This festive performance, as practised among the Sioux, is a sort of religious dance, in which the young braves test their fortitude and stoicism in resisting pain without wincing,. There was a large lodge built in the shape of an ampi theatre, with a pole in the centre. The sides and root' were covered with Willows, forming a tol entitle screen, but not so dense as to obstruct entirely the view. The performances were commenced with chants and incantations. Five young men were brought in and par tially stripped, their mothers being present and assisting in the ceremony. Then the medicine man began his part by cutting slits in the Ilesh of the young men and taking up the muscles with pincers. Tho old squaws assisted in lacerating the flesh of the buys with knives. The squaws would at the sometime keep up a howling, accompa= nied with a movement to and fro. When the muscles were lifted out by pincers on the breast, one end of a sort of lariat ir buffalo thong was tied to the bleeding flesh, while the other end was tied to the top of the pole in the centre of the lodge. The first young man, what thus prepared, commenced dancing around the circle in a frantic insti ller, pulling with all his weight so as to stretch out the rope, and, by his jerking movements, loosen himself by tearing out the flesh. The young man's dance was ac companied by a chant by those who were standing around, assisted by the thumping of a hideous drum, to keep the tune. The young brave who was undergoing this self torture finally succeeded in tearing himself loose, and the rope relaxedfront its sudden tightness and fell back toward the centre polo with a piece of the flesh to which it was tied. The victim, who, up to this point, did nut move a muscle of his face, fell down on the ground, exhaused from the pain, which human weakness could not further conceal. A situate then rushed in and bore the young brave away. Ile had undergone the :terrible ordeal, and, amid the congratulations of the old men, would be complimented as a warrior of undoubt ed pluck and acknowledged prowess. Another of the young men named Charles, was cut in two places under the shoulder blade, the flesh was raised with pincers, and thongs tied around the flesh and mus cles thus raised. Tho thongs reached down below the knees and were tied to buffalo skulls. With these heavy weights dang ling at the ends of the thongs, the young man was required to dance around the cir cle to the sound of the drutnsand chants of the bystanders, until the skulls became de tached by tearing out the Ilesh. They con tinued the performance until one of the skulls broke loose, but the other re mained. The mother of the young man then rushed into the ring leading a pony, and tied one end of the lariat which was around the pony's neck to the skull, which was still fastened to the young man. The latter then followed the pony round the ring until, nearly exhausted, he fell on on his face, and the thong was thereby torn out of the flesh. The sufferer's voice grew husky from joining in the chant ; he groveled on the ground in violent contor tions for a few minutes, and was then re moved to the outside of the lodge. A third man had the lariat of the pony hitched to the raised muscles of his back, and was dragged in this way several times round the ring, but the force not being suf ficient to tear loose from the flesh, the pony was backed up, and a slack being thus taken un the lariat, the pony was urged swiftly forward, and the sudden jerk tore the lariat out of the flesh. The dance with its bloody orgies lasted three days. Republican Summit in:Chicagn A Chicago correspondent of the New York Times gives the - following history of the mishaps of the Republican journals in that city : It is announced that there is to be another change in the Daily Republican that it is to be diminished in size and price, and to un dergo a change of management for about the tenth time since it was launched into existence with a . great flourish of trumpets. It is also to be "Independent in politics and everything, - thus leaving our city without a clear-spoken morning Republican news paper. The Trib,ote is a Republican paper with Democratic principles; that is, the measures it advocates belong to the " Dem ocratic party, and its abuse of leading Re publicans of the county has been much 11101 . 0 damaging than that of the Tithes or any other Democratic journal in the West. It supports the Republican ticket when it is for its interest bide so, but no dependence can lie placed on it as a party paper. If I had nothing to form a judgment; by but its teachings, I should repudiate General Grant and the policy of his Aibninistration in most important particulars, and find myself acting with his opponents. The Rept/ilex's has sunk a large amount of money, and is not yet a financial success. It:i111.9 been given twenty-live thousand or thirty thou sand dollars official city patronage fur seve ral years. Mr. Jacob Bunn, of Springfield has bled to the tune of at least too hundred thousand dollars. Other Springfield politi cians—friends of Mr. Yates, in whose in terest the paper was started—have also suffered largely and yet the paper is a fail ure, as the present change indicates. It is the pretty general opinion that ;it will "go out entirely before the expi9tion of six months. Steel Type According to the specifications in the patent just taken out by Mons. Bauer of Paris, the machine for making steel types is similar to that for making pins or nails; a roll of wire being placed on a reel, the machine nips off a piece of a given length, and forces ono end of it into the steel die. Fine soft iron wire drawn to the shape of the body of the type is used for the purpose. After leaving the machine, the types re quire trimming by hand. When this has been effected, they are placed in metal box es with the materials used for hardening, and are heated to a proper temperature in a furnace. Tho inventor says that, with a single machine and steam to the extent of one nominal horse-power, he can produce 35,000 types in 12 hours, and that while the faces aro far more perfect and more dura ble, the types themselves are cheaper than those in general use. There remain, how ever, the objections of over-sharpness and rusting. Explosion The boiler of the old Lehigh Valley Loco motive, the " Mahaney," exploded at 4 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, the 11th inst., while standing upon the siding about a mile below the junction. E. E. Dubois, the en gineer, was on the engine at the time of the explosion, but was not injured at the least; and although about a dozen men were at work in the vicinity, none were injured further than being thoroughly drenched with water. The centre of the boiler, aver aging about live feet in length, was torn away entirely around, and fragments thrown in every direction; and other por tions of the locomotive were hurled several rods into an adjoining field. A board fence beside the track was taken up, posts and all, and scattered rods away. The re coil upon the machine was such as to settle the track considerably. The explosion was heard at a great distance, and the shock was such as to shake buildings and disturb their furniture a mile away.—Tewanda Argue. korai :intelligence Organisation of City Coo CleillS The newly elected members of the Select and Common Councils,and the members of Select Council holding over, met in their respective Chambers on;Wednesday at 2 o'clock, for the purpose of organization.

Negroes voted, and very quietly and quickly made their "exit." In Coleraine, nearly all the "cull ed" voters were at the election, and would have reduced the Democratic majority, nearly one-half, had it not been that some honest Republicans could not swallow the nigger." In Bart it, seemed that the Democrats made it a rule to slay away front the elec tion, and the result was, the Republicans elected their whole ticket, by an increased vote over last fall. - Witmer leads Dickey in both these townships. To snake sure of the negro vote, lialical politicians wero at the polls early, stealing out to negroes, their tickets, and seeing that they deposited them. The Radicals of Coleraine, felt so ashamed of themselves, that on the evening appoint ed for the nomination of their Township ticket, but three of the "truly boils" met, and so the meeting was postponed, and the ticket was finally settled at the lair in Oxford. Thus to nominate their ticket, this Black and White party were forced to secede from their own County to the ad- . _ joining County of Chester. A Radical politician, who voted on age, two years ago, was nominated for Assessor. A person of common sense would be wise enough to know that a Radical could not be elected in Coleraine; but this nominee was certain of his election, so certain that since he has learned of his defeat, the Democracy of Coleraine have been "bully ragged and trodden down so low, that a person would think," its rise would be on more. C. 1.1. J. FATA L HAI LROAD Al's I DENT. Oscar McLaughlin, a brakesman on the Penn sylvania Railroad, was killed yesterday, Amu t mile west of Steamboat Stati on. He was not missed until the train reached the Station, when search was made, and he was found dead on the track, his head and ono of his limbs being crushed. His re mains were taken to his late residence in Columbia. It is thought the accident hap pened on account of a misstep made by him, while walking on the top of the cars. AT WEST POlNT.—Robert L.

Noble, pastor) commencing Sabbath, October 30th, and continuing every night until November 9th. There will also be preaching in the mornings at 11 o'clock, from November 2d to November Bth inclusive. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.— Tuesday morning between I and 2 o'clock, the tobacco manu factory of Shimp aY Schnader ;situate in the alley between Water and Mulberry streets, near Chestnut, was discovered to be on tire, and although the firemen were promptly on the ground, all efforts to save the building were unavailing, and it, to gether with its contents, was almost entire ly consumed. There were about 5,000 pounds of manufactured tobacco in the building, only 2,000 pounds of which were saved. About 3,700 pounds of leaf tobacco, though not burned, were almost entirely ruined by the water and smoke. The val uable machinery, consisticgof a hydraulic press, four screw presses, retainers, Si... was badly damaged, most of it being en entirely destroyed ; the hydraulic press, however, it is thought can be repaired. The total loss will reach $6,000, on which there is an insurance of $2,2.50 in the Farm ers' Mutual Insurance Co., of York, Pa.,and $2,220 in the Phoenix of Hartford, Ct. TI e building was owned by Mr. Schnader, who bought it not long for $1,500: it was in sured in the North America of Philadel phia for 31,200. It is not known how the tire originated. It was first discovered in the Southeast corner of the building where is situated the drying kiln which is a small one story structure lying between the stables and the main building. Those who first saw the fire thought it started in the stable, and that it was swept thence by the light south wind prevailing, over the drying kiln to the factory. There was a tire:kindled in the stove in the drying kiln in the afternoon, but it is difficult to see how a spark front this could have caused the fire, since the stove-pipe did not go up to the ceiling but pasSed out through the stone sidewalls of the kiln into the adjacent brick chintitcy stack. p EQL - EA. ITE3lS.—]learn. Editors: The election passed otT very quietly, only 570 votes being polled. In spite of 43 negro votes polled for the Radicals, the Democrats succeeded in electing Geo. F. Shultz fur Inspector, something they have not done for about five years. There were several good Republicans came over to the Demo cratic side, saying they did not like the odor of the other party. A few farts to show the ignorance of the niggers: Billy Marshall, an old nigger blacksmith, from the Welsh Mountain, noted for his skill in stealing chickens or any other thing that can be carried off, de clared that he "voted for Dickens for Gule nor." At another time he wanted to vote for his two sons, who were not present; so he walked up to the polls and banded in two tickets, saying% "These are for my twii sons, Jake and Billy Marshall." Several of the niggers voted for Ferry Dennis, a nigger fiddler, for Legislature; he receis eil votes. With a full vote in this township we poll over 800 white votes and about 73 negro votes. A correspondent of the Inquirer says that Mr. Custer's horse "Uncle Sam" was dis tanced at the Lancaster Fair this fall. I t VMS not the same horse that trotted against "Susie Kurtz" at all ; hut a horse named I "Bushel Foot," owned by Wm. Dietrich of New Holland.

His neck was broken, causing instant death. Ile was brought to this city, and an inquest held on his re mains by Coroner Dysart, whose jury ren tiered a verdict of accidental death, in ac cordance with the above facts.

DECREE REV cnsttn.—A mong the cases decided by the Supreme Court, last week, sitting at Pittsburg, was that of Sandoe's Appeal, growing out of the distribution or the Estate of Michael Bard, dee'd., by the Orphans' Court of Lancaster county. The decree of the Court below is reversed and the costs directed to be paid out of the es tate. This case was one of great import ance, involving in its decision nearly $3,000, and its adjudication involved sonic of the nicest principles of the doctrine of marshalling assets in Equity. It was ar gued in the Supreme Court at the last May Term, and held under advisement until the present term. Of this case it may truly be said, that it is a tine illustration of the glorious uncertainty of the law. The Au ditors appointed by the Orphans' Court to distribute the estate of Michael Bard, dec'd., Emlen Franklin, D. G. Eshlemen and 11. B. Swarr, Esqrs., three able lawyers, re ported a schedule of distribution, to which exceptions were tiled, and upon argument, the Judges of the Orphans' Court confirm ed their report. From the decision of live experienced lawyers, Mr. Sandoe, the Guardian of one of the minor children, appealed to the Supreme Court, and re versed the decision of the Court below, and saving for his ward's estate the handsom e sum of 15,000. Argued by W. W. Brown, Esq., for San doe, and by A. M. Frantz, Esq., for Jeffer son liard. LOCAL SUMMARY.—Spirited young gen tlemen in Reading amuse themselves by assaulting and maltreating little girls and infirm men. They think it rare sport. The mother of Prof. Slouch, the terpsi chorean, died recently at Womelsdorf, aged upwards of ninety years. A riot occurred at Serufftown, Salisbury twp., at a religious meeting, a short time since. Seventeen men and boys were en gaged in it. The preacher interfered and was struck by a person named Carpenter. The party were sued before Squire Lee and had a hearing on last Monday, when the whole matter was settled by paying live dollars each. An eel wascaught by Mr. Ewing at Ruch laud Mill yesterday weighing (di pounds. • Coatesville, Cheter county, insists th o earthquake gave it a gentlO shake. The farmers aro almost through wi Isking theircorn—some having fini,h already. The Strasburg Free Press has been pre sented with a pear weighing 24 ounces and measuring 14 inches in circumference. A lad named Suydam had the end of one of his fingers bitten off this morning by a monkey attached to French's Circus. A number of Lancaster county farmers have been prospecting in the Cumberland Valley, with a view of purchasing limns and locating in that beautiful and bounte ous locality. 12E.Turtxliu llomg.—Dr. A. K. Minnich, of Mt. Joy, Who started for Europe at the breaking out of the war at the request of the Prussian Counsel at Now York to act as all atitikhUlt surgisin in the ilerman ar my, has returned. It appears that after his arrival at Berlin he was made acquaint ed with the fact "that under no circurnstan• ces shall foreign physicians enter the army," though they "can serve on the field OA civilians if they choose so to do at their own expense." The doctor tried it a few weeks but finding that King William's army was well supplied with surgeons, while "provisions were worth their weight in coin," he concluded that it would be "straining on philanthropy" to continue his gratuitous labors, and so (stoic home. Mos s m ENT To REV. Dn. lIA itniro - The Synod of the Reformed Church in the United States at its late meeting at Dan ville, Pa., resolved to erect a monument to toe memory of the late Rev. Dr. Ilarbaugh, of the Theological Seminary at Mercers burg. The committee, whom they had previously appointed on this subject, were allowed to raise subscriptions to meet this expense, (luring its sessions, to which there was a quick and hearty response. The committee subsequently adopted a style of monument and had it executed by an artist in York, Pa., which is said to boa superior piece of workmanship. We are informed that the committee having charge of this testimonial of affection on behalf of the Synod, unveiled it with appropriate services and an address on the Pith inst. at Mercers burg. The lower slab of the monument above the granite base, contains simply the fel ily name lIA RBA UO 11. " Upon the right and left face of this lower block, which presents a surface of 12x17 inches, aro cut in Pennsylvania German, two extracts of his poem entitled " Haem web," or Home-Sickness, which in the German Is touching and full of religious pathos. The one is: wann'e net cur der II Mullen mer, Mlt seiner seheene huh, Dann wmr m'r'e do schun lung verlucdt, Ich wlset net was zu dhu. Doch Hutinung lelchtet melnen Weg Der ew'gen Heemet zu. The other inscription, in Pennsylvania German, from the same poem, is equally expressive of all that Dr. Harbaugh wrote concerning the future life, as expressing his own hope. It reads:— •' Dort find rn'r was m'r do vcrllert, Ln b'halt's In Ewlgkelt Dort lewe unsre Dodte all. In Licht un ew'ger Fried!" C;EMVED Firm RICH - ST.-A correspondent writing from Earl, informs us that a fast young man in that neighborhood, brought his "intended" to this city for the purpose of getting married, and left her in the par lor of a hotel while he went to secure the services of a preacher. Meeting some of his companions on the street he imbibed freely, got drunk, and did not return to the hotel for some hours, when the lady in formed him that having got drunk at such a time, and neglected to provide her a din ner, he would be likely to be still more negligent when married, and very properly broke the engagement. The rejected suitor contemplates suicide. THE OLDEST BIBLE YET.—Mr. Jacob Hoffman, of Martinsville, has brought into this office a curiosity in the form of a Ger man Bible, which is 331 years old. It was brought from Germany by Mr. Hoffman's forefather before theßevolutionary war,and is now the property of Mr. Hoffman. It was printed before the scriptures were arranged in verses, and the paper and type used In printing it were of a rem arkabl egood cu t and quality for so old a work. It contains 200 wood-cut illustrations. Itisby fly the oldest Bible which has ever been brought to our notice. There is a complete register or in dex. of the Bibid; the reckoning of time from the time of Adam to Christ. Also, a short summary of the Holy Scriptures and certain concordances, arguments and re ferences. Printed at Zurich, by Christof fel Froschauer, on the 16th day of March, 1530. The book is still complete, though some of the leaves have been torn, and pasted, and the binding somewhat impaired from hard usage.
