The committee ap pointed to examine the Dre plugs reported tbero in good condition and ready for use in case of Dre. After a diacuuion of tbe su b- ject, it waa deemed expedient that a fire should be kept buruing at all hours in I he engine bouse, and a committee consistisgof Messrs.

Among tbe patents issued to citizens ot Western Pennsylvania for tbe weekending December 27, 1870, is No. 110,617 Still for petroleum and other oils, Samuel Van Syekel, Titusville. We are informed tbat a liquor store in Titusville was seized by the U. S. Marshal, yesterduy. Several parties iu ibis place sutler by tbe seizure, tbe Marshal having also levied oo liquors purchased by them ot the TituBvilie firm. Pet. t'euire Re cord.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT FRANKLIN! FALL OF THE SUSPENSION BRIDGE SEVERAL LIVES LOST. DESTRUCTION OF TUB MARSHALL MOUSE. About balf past elrvon o'clock yesterday mornini!, a lire broke out in the Marshal House, situated at the I'Ytnklin end o f the Suspension Bridge at that point, wbicb con nects tbe Allegheny Valley Railroad witb tho town. Though tlie most strenuous ef forts were made to save tbe structure it was entirely destroyed. During the bur ning of the hotel tbe tlamcs co-nmunicated to the bridge, upon wbicb were from twenty klo thirty individuals in the act of crossing, or watching the burning building. SudJenly one of the large cables supporting tbe bridge parted, aid in an Instant tbe stiucturo tip ped, throwing all those upon tbe same into the river below, and then fell, burying them jn its ruins. Although several were seen lo escape it Is supposed thai some are still beneath the wreck, while, others must bave drowoed, and gone down tbe river beneath the ice which partially filled.lbe channel at that j oint. From an eye witneis ot tbe dis aster, we learn tbat the cable which parted was upon the lower, or down tbe river side, aud its breaking was doubtless due to tbe the beat, wbicb is supposed to bave melted the lead used to fasten tbu end of tbe ctble to.tbe stone abutment at tbo.end, or melted the wiies. Our informant itya there were about twenty-four persons upon the bridge who were first pree'pitated to tbe river by tbe.saddeo iodine of tbe bridge, wbicb then tell burying all beneath it. T VICTIMS were Wo. F. Neill, of Fraaklin, who wis rescued, but lived only a short. time. Mr. Allen, freight aieal d tbe A. V. R. R., is among tbe mining, and supposed to be kill ed. Mrs. Mclntyre and daughter, and sis ter of tbe toll gate keeper of tbe bridge, wrre fatally injured, and cannot live through tbe night. Though several in tbe contusloo doubtless escaped, it is supposed that a number ate still beneath the bridge, or were carried down tbe river. Some days will doubtless elapsH before ibe correct number ol killed and injured can be obtained. Tbe excite ment iu tbe vicinity after the accident was iutense, und crowds gathered to assist lo ex tricating tbe living and dead. ( THE LOKSEP. Aside from the fearful loss of life tbe amount of property destroyed was large. The Marshal liouw will foot up $5,000 witb no Insurance, while the bridge itself coat ;.il)out $50,000, and tbe exception ot the piers, wklob are slill staodiag, will prove a total loss. The old wooden bridge which formerly occupied the site of the suspension bridge, ;wes destroyed in 18C5 at tbe lime of the gieat Ore in Oil City, by a barge of burning oil from above floating down aod firing tbe tame. Herald LATER. We learn that tbe body of Mr. Kilgore, A. V. R. R. freight agent, was takeo from tbe river this morning. Tbis makes the number of killed so far as ascertaiotd two, Mr. Neill having beeb taken out yesterday. Mrs. Mclntyre aod daughter cannot possibly recover. Tbrre wni at least 30 persons on the bridge at tbe time it went down, aod a nana ber of these ire missing and ire prob ably killed. The bridge went down by spans, leaving not tbe least chance of es cape for the unfortuoate persons. From the fact tbat many stranger! are lo Frank lin at present, it is probable tbat soma of tbem are among tbe missing. A large oum ber of people ire engaged in removing tbe debris of tbe bridge in search of tbe bod lea. Tbis sad event bas cast a gloom over tbe entire city. STILL LATER. SPECIAL TO THE RECORD. Franklin, Deo. 31, As near is can be estimated at least thir ty persona were oo tbe bridge when It fell Of these, three escaped unhurt tbe bal lance fell into the water below, 13 were taken out of the water, one detd and all badly injured. Or tbe latter, one bas since died, and one more reported dead Two persons wire known to have been drowned, It li supposed tbat all who wen near the oeolre ot the bridge and fell Into Ibe river were drowned and carried down with the current, as oo bodies have been found to day atl bough partioi are clearing tbe wreck f.-om off tbe Ice where ne doubt more will be found, as Ibe moat of then were co that pari of the bridge over tbe ice. Several persons oat known here eie ex pected to be found whr-n tho ruins ate clear.. There Is no possible way yet of Biding out how many are lost as tbey bave to work very slow on account of weak Ice. The bridge turned over at It fell and lays bottom side np on the ice. tilll.t. l.ATKtt. Franklin, Pa. Dec. S p. a. Sarah Mclnlire died this noon. Latest and Most Important war Aewi.

The Titusville Courier bas bso enlarged and otherwise improved. Il preeenle a creditable appearance. An elephant, belonging to a menagerie, recently went on a lour to 81 Louis. Ue first visited the house of Mr. Edward 8. Bradley, and knocked la one side of It, to the great terror ol ao old lady dwelling oo the first floor, who tnuughl at first that ber husband was coming home very drunk. -Mr. Bradley weot against tbe intruder, and met bim just as be was coming up ibe front steps, evidently anxious to effect an en trance Into tbe drawing room. Tbe man terrified tbe beast witn a cavalry sword, cut his trunk, aod drove it away In aoguisb aod disgust. Then the outrsgeeoi beast visited a lalooo, examlued it carefully, and made a rush at it, which shivered a large door to a turns. Apparently satisfied witb these exhibitions ol lingular sagacity, be wandered away, and was fuund frozen lo death near tbe Southeastern depot.
