The patron of a newspaper's ad vertiring columns makes himself res ponsible in a great degree, not only legally, but morally, for the notice which he gives over his name. His responsibility goes so far, indeed, that it leaves little upon the shoul ders of the newspaper publisher, ex cept to see that his journal is not made the medium of immortality or deception. This latter charge be longs to the publisher and he cannot rid himself of it. 01 course he is not always able to detect, iu the ad vertisements which are offered, every one whose character is vicious, nor would it be possible to assure him self of the honesty of the offers made by every business advertiser. In a large majority of cases, we must leave the accuracy and good faith of their statements to be vouch ed for by the names that accompany them. But there is a very numerous class of advertisements continually offer ed to a newspaper which are evident ly immoral and intended so to be ; some of them hinting in the broad est aud plainest terms at infractions of human as well as higher laws. There aro others which are swindles, aud bear the evidence of their dis honesty so plainly upon their face that every intelligent reader marks them as such at once. Such adver tisements every respectable journal ist rejects, and in that category we include ourselves We believe our duty iu this respect to be 90 plain that whether interest agrees or not we have uniformly refused ail of them. Only recently one advertiser offered us some three or tour to be inserted for a year, the amount of which would probably have been two hun dred dollars. They all shared the same fate and are not found in our columns Strange to say, many of our co temporaries do not seem t) adopt this plain rule of action. On a cas ual glance over their pages we find advertisements in them, whose char acter is not only doubtful but plainly and atrociously bad. The horrible dens in the larger cities where the laws of God and nature are alike outraged, and the venders of pois ons designed to effect the same wick ed object, boldly hold forth their propositions. Others, scarcely less bad, furnish "sealed information," etc., etc., aud still others pretend to tell secrets "no murtals ever knew," or "give information of the greatest importance." All these arc as plain ly swindles, lies, and deceptions as though the word was branded upon them, cud every intelligent person knows it. How then can any honest aud conscientious journalist allow himself to be used as the means by which such sharpers shall obtain vic tims ? The Philadelphia! Ledger, wheu its present proprietor, Mr. Ohilds, took hold ot it, contained a large number of advertisements of the kind we have indicated, bat Mr. C. met the is sue fairly and swept them out of the paper, not to be re-inserted at any price. The pecuniary loss was con siderable, but the performance of a plain duty was far superior in impor tance. Upon the same principle we establish oar own business. fiaT" The Richmond papers are very much exercised over Senator Wilson's proposed stumping tour through the South. The Dispatch says Mr. Wilson's arguments will be addressed to men not per mitted free speech for reply. It adds that lie can scarcely hope for a pro pitious hearing or a successful cam paign Another paper proposes that prominent Southern men with con servative vieWn challenge the Mas sachusetts Senator to a discussion of the issues of the day, and names Henry A. Wise, Extra Billy Smith, and Letcher. The Enquirer has an article upon accepting the situation, which concludes with the following sensible advice : "As there is here really no room for a practical issue, let us all, then be content to drop discussions that cau exist only thro' the confusion of facts produced by twisting of words from their proper meaning, and cultivate that unity of feeling and effort so necessary in our condition." GEN. SHERIDAN'S DISTRICT. —Advices reached here from Lonisiaua state that Gen SHERIDAN has, by the effect oi Lis recent orders, absolutely tied the Lands of the civil authorites, so that Gov. WELLS, who, under the Constitution, has power to make re movals and appointments in certain offices, can do nothing without first obtaining Lis consent. The old po lice force are retained, but are more respectful toward Union men and freedmeu than before. Col THOMAS ADAMS, MONROE'S Chief of Police, is continued in that office, although an effort is being made to secure his re moval and the appointment of Gen. SYTHER, formerly Colonel of a colored regiment, in Lis placu. Prominent Radicals of New-Orleans will soon petition SHERIDAN to allow WELLS to make removals, and thereby flank all attempts on the part of the ex-rebels to prevent them by influence at j Washington. from ftarrisbnrg. * Special Correspondence of THI; BBADFOBD ICEFOBTKB. HABBISBUBO, Pa-, April 15, 1867. The Legislature adjourned on Thursday last, and already nearly all the members are at home, enjoying the pleasures of the fami ly circle, as well as giving their constituents an account of their stewardship. Of the one hundred members of the House, less than one third will be returned next winter. A very large number have just closed then second term, and according to party custom must give way to others. Of the Senators, eleven—one-third—have just closed their Senatorial career, viz: Messrs. Donavau, James, Sehall, Davis, Randall and Wails, Democrats. Messrs. Roger, Hall, Haines, Bigham and Lowry, Republicans. It is not expected that more than two or three (if any) of these: will be returned to the Senate. Of some it may be said "may we never look upon their like again,"—they were ungrate ful to their best friends. No one regrets that their official term is ended. The Republican State Central Committee I held a meeting in this city on the 9th inst, and fixed the 26th of June as the day for holding the Union State Convention. It will be held at Williainsport, in Lycoming county. Before the adjournment of the Legisla ture the members of the Senate presented Speaker Hall with a magnificent chronomo ter gold watch—a most valuable testimonial. Among the new bills passed is one to en able police officers to enforce order, in li censed houses, and to exterminate unlicensed traffic. It provides that the keepers of li censed taverns or eating houses shall, as far as possible, prevent all manner of disorderly conduct in or about their premises, and if necessary call upon an officer for assistance. No liquor of any description shall be sold or given to minors, without a written order from their parents ; neither shall any liquor be sold or given to an habitual drunkard or intoxicated individual. No person having license shall, against the request of a wife, husband, parent or child, sell, give away, or dispose of, any strong or spirituous liquors, wines, ales or beer, to the husband of any such wife, the wife of any such husband, parent of any such child, or child of any such parent. All bars must be closed at not later than twelve o'clock at night, and shall not be opened before sunrise in the morning for the sale of liquor. A conviction for any such offense shall cause a forfeiture of li cense. Any sheriff, constable, or police man is empowered to close up and keep closed any place where this act is violated, and arrest the proprietors thereok Said of ficers shall also arrest any individuals who may be found intoxicated in any street or other highway, or in a licensed hotel or res taurant. Any licensed hotel, or drinking house keeper who shall sell intoxicating drinks to any individual to whom it is de clared by this act to be unlawful to sell, should be held responsible for Rny damages that may result from such sale. I have giv en but a synopsis of the bill, but it is suf ficient to give the reader a fair conception of the provisions of the entire act This and the law recently passed relative to the man ner of obtaining license should effect quite a reform in the liquor traffic. A further supplement to the school law has been passed. It provides that when a board of Directors desire a site for a school house, and cannot secure a suitable location by agreement with the owners, the said board, in behalf of the district, may enter and occupy the land desired. A teachers' meeting or institute, shall be held at least once a year, and continue not less than five days. Any city 01 borough having 10,000 inhabitants, may elect its own Superinten dent, and shall not be subject to the County Superintendent. The bill is a good one, and if its provisions are faithfully enforced, good will be accomplished by it. The Governor approved an signed an act continuing the increased fees of justices of the peace and constables in Bradford, Sus qnehanna and Wyoming counties, for one year, and authorizing the road commission ers and auditors to receive $1,50 per day when employed. There has been no legislation for your county since the date of ray last.

Personal and Political —The Leg : slature of Ohio has sent to the people tor decision, at the election next October, an amendment to the Consti tution, so as to make black men voters,and to disfranchise deserters. It required the concurrence of three-fifths of the members of the Legislature to do this deed, and yet it was done. Union Leagues are being rapidly organized among the blacks throughout the South. As a political instrumentality speech-making is good, but Union Leagues are better —A resolution has been offered in the United States, setting forth that Mr. Saulsbury, a Senator from Delaware, having appeared repeatedly on the floor of the Sen ate m a condition of intoxication, that he be expelled. Mr. Saulsbury was taken home, where he will remain during the recess, and unless he reforms in the meantime will be expelled at the next meeting of the Senate. —Gen. Banks has been added to the party, which, with the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, at its head, is going to make the tour of the Holy Land. —Frank Blair, in his late incoher ent harangue at Hartford, branded the rad icals as destructives. Whereupon the Courard wants to know who " brandied " Blair. —Edward Heath, the new Mayor of Xew Orleans, by virtue of Gen.

It has usually gone Democratic. --The election in Kentucky, for members ol' Congress, will take- place on the Ith of May.

SHOCKING CALAMITY.—We alluded, a day or two since, to a frightful cal amity that occurred at Gibson, near Corning, the otbor uiglit. The Jour nal has these detailed particulars: About miduigLi f Friday, a small house at Gibson, occupied by JOHN PHKNAS, was consumed by fire, and four persons perished in the flames viz: Mr. Phenas, and his two sons, aged sixteen and nineteen years, and his grand-daughter, aged seven or eight years. Mr. P. was an old resi dent of the town, and owing to his ill health and poverty, the family had largely subsisted on charity for a number of years. The house was a small building near the tow path, a few rods east ef tli* highway bridge. The fire is -nnnosed to have caught from a broken stove plate, under which was usnailv kept for secur ity, but which that night had been displaced, and thus set fire to some wood or kindlings drying near the stove. Mr. P. and those above re ferred to, and his wife and another grand-daughter, slept in one room in the rear. He was awaked by the smoke and roused his wife, and both sought to awake the other. Mrs. P. and one girl escaped, passed through to the only outer door of the house, past the stove to the front. It is sup posed that on opening the door of the sleeping room, the smoke aud flames rushed in so as to overpower"Mr. P., and his sons, as their bodies were found in different places, as though they were seeking to find the door, when overcome by the stifling smoke. The little girl did not probably awake, as her face was not burned. Her body was badty burned, however,and oue of her limbs burned off' below the knee. The other bodies were horribly burned, the upper portion of the skull of Mr. P., and the breast bone being entirely consumed, aud the bauds and feet of ail more or less burned off. Dr. MAV, Coroner, field an inquest on Saturday. The remains of tfie bodies were placed in two coffins,and the funeral was attended by a very large collection of people. This ter rible calamity, oue to which all peo ple are liable, the destruction of a house and family by flames in the dead hour of night, produced a pro found sensation in this vicinity.— Thousands visited the scene Satur day and Sunday, and none can forget the horror it inspired. LUMBER.—During !he past winter, in the groat forests of this State from which large supplies of lumber are annually drawn, immense quantities were prepared for rafting in the Sus quehanna and transportation by other channels of conveyance southward and eastward. In the districts of southern New York, adjacent to our lumber fields, tbe trade has also been active daring the winter, and it is anticipated that large quantities of logs and sawed lumber will be ship ped thence this spring to market. In the great pineries of Canada, Michi gan and Wisconsin, the amount of lumber got out, and either manufac tured or ready for manufacturing, is very large. The amount of lumber on hand in Chicago, on the first of January, was larger than ever be fore since 1858.— Ear. Tel. Nero 3Unjertisemtnto. STORE AND NEW GOODS FRESH FROM THE NEW YORK MARKETS.
