Mr. Hooper, Chair man of the Ways and Means Committee, rising to a question of privilege, offered a resolution returning to the Serrate the bill repealing the income tax law, with the re spectful suggestion that the Constitution vests In the House of Representatives the sole power to originate such measures.

Arthur Blown Up and Set on Fire near Memphis.•- Sixty Persons Bellecid to Mace Been Lost and Others Badly Injured. MEMPHIS, Jan. 29.—The steamer W. R. Arthur, from New Orleans for Lonjoville, which left here last night, exploded her boilers fourteen miles above this city, at 4:30 this morning, tearing awav the forward part of the cabin and texas. The boat then took tire and burned until the boat sank. The night was very dark, and after the ex plosion many of the passengers rushed down to the lower deck, many in the con fusion jumping into the river. When the how sank the waves swept from the lower deck, all who had gathered there. Captain Henry,. Brolaski, the commander, says he had retired a half an hour before the ex plosion, and felt himself lifted up and knocked down by the stairs of the texas, which fell upon him. He extricated him self, got an axe and cut his way out, saving himself, wife and child, whom he took to the ladies' cabin and left in charge of Alex ander Frazer. The boat took fire several times, but the Captain, with the assistance of several others, succeeded in extinguishing it. Had the cabin passengers remained in the cabin all would have been saved, but owing to the fright, nearly all rushed down stairs. The Captain's leg was badly twisted, and he had several contusionson his head. His wife and her sister were seriously hurt. Captain J. A. Frazier, of Cincinnati, who was a passenger, says he and his wife were in bed, but not asleep, and when the ex plosion took place he ran out on the guard, and, seeing the state of affairs, hastened to the cabin, and found that all the ladies ex cepting his wife and Mrs. Brolaski, had left. Ile ascertained that the life-boat had been taken away, and then turned his at tention to putting out the tire. His feet were badly frozen, but beyond that he and his wife were uninjured. About 5 o'clock this morning Captain Dabeke, of the tug Report, heard amen shouting on the river. A skiff was sent 01.11, and the mall rescued from a cotton bale. He was one of the survivors. Steam was raised on the tugs Little (limit and Report and on the ferry boat Excelsior, which went to the scene, and picked up several persons from cotton bales and planks on the way, and brought all that could be fomid to the city, 'natty of whom were half dead, and a large num ber badly hurt. • The officers of the Excelsior saw several bodies on the wreck under the debris, but the wounded were suffering an, much from the cold that they did not wait to cut them out. Captain Ilrolaski says that be had forty-five Cabin and forty deck passengers on board, and thinks that at least sixty lives were lost. The boat had three hun dred tons of freight, including one thou sand two hundred bales of cotton taken un board here. The boat was about ten years old, and valued at ;:stse,ooo. Insured in St. Louis for on the arrival of the survivors here they were taken to the dif ferent hotels, where every attention was Aetna' them by the citizens. Large num hers or those who wore saved were badly injured, and many were unable to talk. The Captain thinks that the first clerk, I Bowman, (VILA killed instantly. Among f the lust are .1. Allen, wife tuul child, M. Sweeney, Steve Melton, and Henry Hines, of Cincinnati; and Mrs. Hannan, two daughters, son and niece, of Crone Creek, Ark. 'Among those reported saved am "A. It.

Susanna Larkin, aged SO years, died suddenly at her residence In Sailsburyrille, on Tuesday afternoon last, from apoplexy. A lady came near perishing by getting into one of the ditches left open by the water company in Downingtown, a few evenings since. She was in the mud and water to the depth of about three feet, un able to get out until her cries attracted the attention of a passer-by, who rendered the necessary assistance. The Trustees and Managers of the East ern Experimental Farm. have appointed Mr. John J. Carter,of tipper Ox ford Town ship, Superintendent of the farm for the ensuing year, in place of Thomas M.

The bright night and splendid sleighing aided the custom ary interest in the occasion in bringing to gether from town and country alvery large audience to listen to the exercises. The large Hall was greatly crowded, and HS we arrived late we found it impossible forwirrie time to get in, but finally through the kind ness of our friend Mr. Peters and one of the ushers we obtained an excellent position. We faced the audience, and thus - had au excellent opportunity to get the general average of its appearance. It was high ; it was an intelligent and bright looking audi ence. We had not expected to see an sir of so much cultivation and refinement inn an assembly composed of representatives of our German farming community ; for the scholars, as well as the visitois, we presume, were largely drawn from this class of our population. Our farmers have been, in years past, remarkable for their wealth and their illiberality; their whole thought has been of their land and their cattle; they arose early, worked hard, and retired early; they wasted none of their time in reading; for many of them even the weekly newspaper was too exhausting a literary undertaking: they thought their boys hail learned enough when they knew how to plow and reap, and had passed a few winters in the cross-roads school; their daughters were ace en pl is hed when they were good housekeepers. The audience last night, however, testi fied how rapidly our farmers have risen above the narrow-mindedness and semi barbarism of the past, and that they at length appreciate the tact that it is not all of life, simply to live. We have seldom seen a better looking audience; the faces showed mental cultivation and a high order of intelligence. The young men were remarkably tine looking, while acid young ladies were so neat al bright and pretty, that we hail to shut our eyes to their distracting enchantments, me we could at all catch toe drift of what w being said upon the platform. hem our arrival the Salutatory had been delivered by Israel Heilman, of Agricultural Col lege, Pa., the President of the Society : un Essay—The Story of the Bells—had been read by D. Emma Huntsman, Cnionvil le, Pa.; an Oration on the "Mission of Poet rv," hail been spoken by John Itruliaker, Berlin, Pa., and a Recitation—" The Polish Boy"—had been given by Eliza C. Smith, of Millersville, Pa. We had the pleasure of hearing the Honorary Address delivered by the Rev. C. Z. Weiser, of Pennsburg, Pa., upon the " Four orders of Culture." It was an exceedingly able paper, abound ing in wit, mid held the attention of the au dience for Inure than ant hour ; we cannot tell exactly how much more, inasmuch as the clock behind the speaker became ,o interested inn his aihlre,s during one or it, wittiest passages, that it ceased vibratin,z its pendelutn; and twenty minutes or half au hour elapsed before Mr. Weiser passed to graver discourse, and the clock liquid time to discover its negligence and begin again its work. The four l inters nit Culture • were the Physical, the Mental, the Moral and the „Esthetical: and the Reverend gen ! Gemini's exposition of each was as torrent :is it was interesting. We will not essay a synopsis of it, as we could not do it justice. Mr. E. T. liurgan, its editor, read the "Normal Review;" its contents werea w ell written editorial Review; an '• Essay ion chemistry" which was not as funny as it was intended to be; a pretty poem entitled Will the angels never COMP, Mantis?'' a dissertation on the "Mosquito" which hail some sharp points inn it; "Purified by suf fering," which was fair; "A sleigh ride," , which might have been much better ; "our mission," which was good ; and in "Sketch of Millersville." which was extravagant ! and excited a good deal of laughter; we would suggest however to the authors 01 this Mere and. the "Chemistry" article, that • their in little wit in pure The prograillnie venullitled With a very pretty featatro, haltlely otrerillg.

AM DENT.—A painful accident occurred iu Columbia, on Saturday last, about 2.30 P. M. Mrs. Shultz, of Fifth street, called on a little girl in the neigh borhood, to crisp her hair, and in doing so she heated the crisping iron to such a degree, as to set lire to her hair. The lady immediately screamed for help, but before the neigh bors could render assistance she was burnt very badly—her hair very nearly all from her head-and her clothing catching fire burnt her arms in a terrible manner. Dr. Armer was immediately sent for, and at last accounts, the patient was doing as well as could be expected. Court of Common Plea. A Court of Common Pleas was held dur ing the past week, Judges Long and Lib hart on the bench. The first case attached was that of Mar tin Miller, jr., Assignee of John D. Seu senig and wife vs. Rachel M eCardel. The parties reside in Marticville and the issue is to try in part the validity of a certain judgment, and for the recovery of the amount (if any) due ou said judgment.— The narrative recites that a judgment bond was given by defendant to plaintiff, (act ing as Assignee for John D. Sensenig and Mary Ann, his wife) said bond having been given April 1, 1867, in the sum of ,83:1200, conditioned for the payment of the full sum of $llOO to the said John 1).

Ic is claimed by plaintiff that the defendant —Rachel MeCardel—has not paid this judg ment nor auy part of it. The defense put in a plea of Coverturo and, in addition, the plea of payment to the amount of ;YAW. The jury returned a verdict awarding the plaintiff the sum of $1210.5) —the amount claimed, with interest. Messrs. Eshleman and Py fer, counsel for defendant, then moved that Court grant a rule to show cause why anew trial should not be granted.

IST En ESTI SO To Bit ENV E —Til Com missioner of Internal Revenue complains .r discrepancies between accounts of his office and those of collectors, in consequence or the per centage calculations in the sale of stamps for fermented liquors being often erroneous. The ale and beer brewers put up their liquors in half, third, quarter, sixth and eighth barrels, and in purchasing stamps to put upon those packages are en titled by the revenue law to a discount of 71 per cent, on the whole amount of pur chases of stamps made by them. The re turns of the collectors often disclose fre quent discrepancies in the disposal of tractional remainders, and the Commis sioner has written a letter to the Chairman of tile Committee of Ways and Means, rec ommending that the law be so amended reducing the tax per barrel on fermented liquors from one dollar to nine-six cents, which figure is divisible without remainder into all the fractions made by the brewers in the original barrel of fermented liquors. THE DENLINOER BURGLARY.—Mayor Atlee received information on Thursday last, that a man calling himself M. P.

It is said that the prisoner called at the banking house of Glendenning, Da vis & Co., New York, and offered for sale two $5OO Lancaster City Bonds. The firm at once telegraphed the fact to Reed, Hen derson Ss Co., of this city, sending them also the numbers of the bonds offered for sale. They proved to be the same which were stolebdrom Mr. Denlinger, notice of which was at once forwarded to Glenden ning tt Co., who thereupon had Briston ar rested and lodged in the' Tombs." Messrs. Glendenning t Co., forwarded a despatch to Mayor Atlee that the stolen bonds nre now in their custody, and that they have information which they believe will lead to the arrest of the other robbers and the re covery of the other stolen property. Mayor Atlee and Chief of Police Rutter started for Harrisburg the same day for the pur pose of obtaining from Governor Geary a requisition on Governor Hollinan for the return of the alleged criminal to this State for trial. 'rho requisition was granted, and on the ifollowing morning Captain Butter started for New York for the purpose of bringing on the prisoner for trial. lle has evidently experienced sonic difficulty in the matter, ms on Sunday night at Mayor Atlee and Samuel Denlinger loft this city for New York, and up to the pre sent time (Tuesday evening' neither of the party has returned.
