Gleeson, (formerly of this i place) has been promoted from a Ikst to a - sec ond class clerkship in the Bureau of Stn- tistics. Treasury Department. The Revivals are continued in both the Methodist and Presbyterian chur ches, and by Elder Grow, Baptist, in the ' school house. Thirty-eight have already j received the ordinance of baptism by im mersion, through the ministry of the* last ! named Minister. From twenty to thirty , have united themselves to the Methodist church with a prospect of large future ae_ 1 j cessions. Quite a large number, too, have been added to the Presbyterian church, • where the meetings are kept up, nightly.— The whole town seems to huve been brought under the influences now at work, so that crowded houses are now found at all these three places of worship.— Tiudhannock Dem i oarat. ®aT- The Canal Bridge on the main street, leading to the river, in this place, ; went down with a craoh, on Friday last. A young boy, son ot Thomas Osterout. was passing over on horseback, when rider, horse, ! timbers and plank fell to the bed of the ca nal in one promiseous heap. The boy and horse, almost as if by miracle,escaped, with but slight injuries. The bridge was about eighteen feet high, with sides. The string ers, at their bearing upon the abutments j were almost wholly rotted away. But a short time previously, a heavy coach with four horses ha t been driven over it witti no apparent signs of danger. Heavily laden.-cl teams, have freqaeutly passed over the bridge during the winter. F.v rythingcon , sidered, it was u very fortunate break down. ; —Tunhhannock Dem. i&f" At a meeting of tbe Towanda j Lyceum, held Friday, Feb. 22d, the follow ing resolution, which had been postponed ut the previous meeting was discussed : Resolved, That Andrew Johnson merits \ impeachment. i Notwithstanding the efforts of the af ! firmative. the voice of friends prevailed, and a verdict of not guilty was returned by con . siderable majority. The following question j was then chosen for discussion at the next meeting : Resolved, That the rights of the late so i called Confederate States were unimpaired j by rebellion. T. M. WILMOT, Rec. Sec. ESTRAYS.— Persons having stray cat ! tie or horses in their possession make thein j selves liable in the sum of five dollars if they fail to report the fact to the town clerk within four days, and it is his duty to make j record ot the same, subject to same penalty in default thereof. If the owner presents himself to the clerk within thirty days,he is i entitled to receive his property on payment ;of charges. If. after the expiration of this time, no owner is found, the person pos- j I sessing the estray is required to advertise j , it ; and if within ninety days thereafter, no ; owner appears, the person taking up the j ; same shall apply to a Justice of the Peace j 1 in the township, who is required to issue j ' his warrant to a constable, who, after giving j ten days' notice,is required to sell the same ! i —the money for which is to be paid into the hands of the Justice of the Peace, who is to ; pay all reasonable charges for the cost of keeping, registering, advertising, Ac., and ! j the balance, if there be any, to be paid into ' the county treasury. ftd?* A daily is soon to be issued j from the office of the "Lycoming Gazette." | | Williamsport is a fast place, boasting of 1 i street railroad, the Herdic Home, (though i we never could see what there was to brag of in the latter,) and it is now to have a dai ! ly newspaper We hope the publishers i have some rich relatives, soon to decease, i One of tbe best papers on our exchange list, is the Delaware Tribune, pub - lished at Wilmington. Mr. JENKIN'S, one of the editors,was formerly connected with the Norristown Herald. The Tribune is a radi cal journal, and will do much towards re deeming the little State from the darkness that now encloses it. • . The Governor has signed tbe i bill extending provisions of the law chang ing the mode of criminal proceedings, to Bradford County. We published the law last week. ta&~ We learn that Gov. Geary lias pardoned and remitted the fines of Mark Keeney and E. S. Thompson, who being members of the Election Board in Wind ham, were convicted at our November term of Court for rejecting the vote of an alleged deserter, as they believed in full accordance to the law. The decision of the Supreme Court as to what is law or what'is not, may not always remain as it now stands but even it it should, the honest intention of the parties should screen them from the penal ties of a criminal offense, under such tech nicalities of the law where our lawy. rs and Judges disagree. In Bucks and Lycoming counties in similar cases, the parties were cleared. The Governor, is no doubt well satisfied that conviction in such cases may justify the interposition of Executive clem ency.— Wyoming Rejnibltenn. 9An accident on Wednesday last on the Philadelphia A Erie Railroad, caused by a broken rail, whereby the bag- ! gage and two passenger cars of the Erie Ex- j press train, duo at Milton about 7 o'clock in the evening,were thrown off thy track about : three miles north of this borough. The j cars were thrown into the canal, injuring j several passengers more or less severely,but fortunately killing none. —-— Tbe recent ice freshet iu the j river has done a serious damage to the j Horse-race dam. permitting the entire wa- j ters of the river to pass through the break, | and it is feared that it will suspend boating | operations on tbe canal in the early part of; the season. The injury will probably be 1 repaired as soon as possible. Col. LEVI NOBLE, formerly of this place, died of congestion of the lungs, i after a short illness, at his fresidenee in j lowa, on the Ist iust.
