NEW BLOOMFIELD, PENN'A.
Tuesday, January 25, 1870.
Thk storm wliicli visited this section
last week, Monday, appears to have ex
tended over the whole country, doing in
some portious great damage, and causing
much loss of life.
Governor Geaky was inaugurated
lost week, . Tuesday. The military and
firemen's parade was the finest display
ever seen in that city. The fire compan
ies of Harrisburg, left the procession be
cause some colored soldiers were permit
ted in the line. That was an exhibi
tion of narrow-inindcness worthy of the
dark ages.
Our Thanks.
We are strongly tempttA to publish
the flattering notices which some of our
exchanges have given The Time Binee
its enlargement ; but as such reading may
he more agreeable to us, than to our sub
subscribers, we will deny ourselves that
gratification!
Our friends, will, however, please con
sider that with uncovered head, we make
them our most polite bow, as we return
our thanks for their kindness.
A large number of petitions for the
abolition of the franking privilege are
daily presented to the U. S. Senate.
Senator Sherman, a few days since, rath-
er sneeringly remarked " that the majori
ty of the petitioners were post-masteri.
This seems to us rather strong proof of
the necessity of having this privilege abol
ished, for no class of men have more op
portunity of seeing how large an amount
of mail matter passes free.
A resolution has passed the House of
Representatives at Washington declaring
the true meaning of the revenue law
to be that the income tax Bhould con
tinue and be payable during the year
1870. It may be, that was the intention,
at the time it was passed, but the condi
tion of the country has changed, and
now the people believe it is time to dis
continue a law which was passed only as
a measure rendered necessary by the war.
This is the feeling of everybody except a
few office holders, who will be affected by
its discontinuance.
Among the applicants for office under
Gov. Geary is one Gabriel B. Eldred,
who, regardless of all decency and human
ity, asks for the promise of the . prothon
atoryship of the county, as the present
incumbent is sick and he expect him to
die.
This is certainly taking time by the
forelock, and should entitle the applicant
to the first vacancy, whero brass and impu
dence are the main requisites.
' A Maine soldier has had his
name removed from the pension rolls,
saying he has regained his health and
does not need the pension. Commissioner
Van'Aernam wrote him that his name
" Should go down into history as a
worthy example for the coming gener
ation. Keg There is a queer suit now being
tried in Ulster county, N. Y. A young
lady, who wished to marry a youth with
$10,000, promised a lady friend $3000
for her assistance if the game proved
successful. The young man fell a victim,
of course, but the successful bride refused
to pay the $3000 when demanded, and
this suit is the result.
Ley Motive Dolnya.
There has been hut little done in the
Legislature the pnst week, owing to the
adjournment until Tuesday, and the In
auguration. In the Senate, a joint resolution was
passed to print 3000 copies of the Inaug
ural Address for the Senate, and 5000 for
the llou.se.
A bill was favorably reported, repeal
ing all nets exempting roal estate within
the city of Philadelphia from local taxa
tion. The bill was afterwards referred
to a special committee consisting of the
Philadelphia members.
The following bills have also been fa
vorably reported by the Committees :
A bill calling a Convention to make
general amendments to the Constitution.
A bill forbidding Justices of the Peace
from practicing law.
A bill forming a new County to bo
called " Petrolia" out of parts of Craw
ford, Venango and Warren.
The House bill giving each member
$100 for postage duriug the Session, was
unanimously defeated.
The resolution fixingthc 17th of March
as the day for final adjournment was call
ed up and passed.
A bill was introduced fixing the third
Tuesday of March as the time for hold
ing Ward, Township and Borough elec
tions. Also a bill raising the salaries of the
Judges of the Supreme Court to $8,000,
and the salary of the Chief Justice to
38,500.
In the House, a bill was introduced to
restore the Spring elections, requiring
separate ballots, and requiring the ballots
to be placed in single envelopes and num
bered. The Senate joint resolution to print
5000 copies of the Governor's Inaugual
Address, was lost by a vote of 35 yeas to
50 nays.
A bill was reported, giving each mem
ber in lieu of the Franking privilege"
$100 each Session, and the same amount
to the Chief Clerk for himself and assist
ants. The Senate bill increasing the salary of
the Governor to $7,000 per year, was
negatively reported by the Committee.
Ou Friday auother attempt was made
to get copies printed of the Governor's
Message, and the reports of the State Li
brarian, Auditor General and State Treas
urer, but the motion was lost.
A Terrible Accident.
A shocking accident recently took place
at a theater in Bristol, England. A great
crowd had assembled outside the theater
on a steep gangway leading to the pit and
gallery. About seven o'clock, just be
fore the doors wore opened, a cry of fire'
was raised, and immediately the doors
were unbarred there was a fearful rush
toward them. One poor woman fell down
and the obstruction caused large numbers
of others who were pushing in to fall on
her, and ultimately nearly thirty men, wo
men and yung people tumbled over one
another in a heap, over which those be
hind still pushed in order to obtain admis
sion. When the panic was over, twenty
three persons were taken up insensible ;
fourteen of those undermost were found
quite dead, and they were taken into the
refreshment room and laid out. The
remainder were taken to the infirmary,
where, up to twelve o'clock at night, four
others had died, making eighteen deaths
in all. Of those lying dead in the refresh
ment room six were women, four men.
four boys and four girls. The perform
ance of the pantomimo was continued
to the end.
W& On the 16th inst., Francis Mills,
engineer in the Brooklyn Eagle Office,
attempted to kill his wife by stabbing her
in the heart with a knife. Mills mur
dered his first wife three years ago, and
was sent to the State Prison, for man
slaughter, for a term of three years. He
was pardoned out six months after he had
entered Simr Sine, and some time arm
married his present wife, who it is strange
w say, nau uvea with his family, and
was one of the witnesses atraiust him ,
the trial for the murder of the first wife.
Mrs. Mills wound is considered dan
gerous.
a" There is a man in the N. J.
State Prison, sentenced from Hudson
county for five years, for stealing fifty-two
cents. He is not punished so much for
the amount as for the manner in which
the money was taken picking a lady's
pocket. lie is an Englishman by birth,
a graduate of a medical college, and had
been in this country but three days when
arrested.
The following letter was written by a
Pennsylvanian who is on a trip to the
South. Ed.
For The B'ooniJielJ Times.
Charleston, S. C, Jan. 1, 1870.
Mr. Editor : When the cold December
winds began to blow, I hastened to pack
my carct-bug, with a fixed determination
to go to the country where perpetual sum
mer reigns, whero cold is a stranger and
freezing is unknown. Having once made
up my mind to leave my northern homo,
my energies were next directed to what
particular locality 1 had better direct my
steps, and finally what route I would take
to reach my destination ; would I go by
land or water? Upon chosing the latter, 1
further concluded that I would ship from
Philadelphia, mo being a Pennsylvanian,
my State pride would not permit me to
start from any other point, lint alas 1 State
pride like every other kind of pride must
be humbled. I soon learned, to my regret
and disgust, that the steamship on which I
had taken passage (although one of the
btist Philadelphia can boast of,) was no
match for a New York craft. During the
four days that we were ou our voyage hith
er, we were continually being passed by
New York vessels, whilst we were tum
bling about like a tub in a squall on a mill
pond. They ran by as dellant as though
they'd " never mind the weather." I no
longer wonder that Philadelphia does not
move forward and keep pace with otlior
cities even of less magnitude and smaller
pretentions than she. A mean, stingy,
narrow-minded system iu everything she
attempts to do has so long been practiced by
her leading men, that there seems nothing
left her in the future, except to follow iu
the wake of some more liberal-minded sis
ter. Even sensible Philadelphians prefer
going to New York to take ship, when they
purpose taking a trip of a few days' dura
tion rather than be tumbled about a week
in an old tub that is neither safe nor com
fortable. As I do not wish to encumber
your columns with too lengthy a couinmu
nication, I will defer saying anything about
this city (Charleston) until my next.
P. R. S.
Cure For Snake Dite.
Professor Halford, of the University of
Melbourne, Australia, may be remember
ed by some as the enthusiastic introducer
of a cure for poisonous snake bites, and
who allowed himself to be bitten by a
snake and nearly lost his life by the fail
ure of his darling nostrum to counteract the
effects. Notwithstanding the ridicule to
which his devotion to science subjected
him on that occasion, he has persevered in
his efforts, and an undoubted success has
at length rewarded him. He found an
antidote for snake poison which has prov
ed successful in the most critical cases.
It is simply liquid ammonia injected into
the veins. A small syringe with a sharp
point for the purpose of making an injec
tion is manufactured and sold ut, Mel
bourne, and now few travel in the coun
try without one.
A terrifio storm of thunder and
lighting, accompanied with hail and
furious wind, passed over St. Louis, on
the 16th inst., doing considerable dam
age to the signs, awnings, chimneys,
shutters, fenccs,stores,etc. At the Varie
ties Theatre a panic occurred, during
which several persons were severely
bruised while attempting to escape from
the building. At the Olympic Theatre,
where religious exercises were also being
held, a similar scene occured, and several
women fainted and a uumber of persons
were bruised. The telegraph wires were
prostrated in all directions. The weather,
which had been very warm all day,
became cold during the uight and froze
nearly as hard as at any time during the
winter.
t& A youngster, named Peter Knapp,
aged 14 years, son of the Collector of the
New York Gas Company, stele $2500
from bin father's pants the other night,
while the latter was asleep, and then made
a sort of partnership with another boy,
named Walter Williams, about his owu
age. The two boys then started off,
after arraying themselves in new suits of
clothes and purchasing a revolver and
bowie knife The detective found them
at the Erie Railway office, awaiting the
departure of the Cincinnati express train.
They are now, of course, very sorry for
what they have done, and " want to go
home," but the Judge won't let the m yet
awhile.
How Many I
There is nothing lost by having several
suite of clothes at once. It gives a
pleasant variety in dress, makes the
clothing last longer by not being sub
jected to constant use, and can be adapted
to the changes of weather, so as to be a
protection to our health. Try this plan
and you will prove the advantage of it.
You know, by the way., that at Oak Hall
you can get two or three suits for the
money some men pay for but one.

A Cure for Diptheria!
All Interested, please read the following extract
from a letter from Airs. Klleu B. Mason, wife of
ltev. Frauds Mason, Tounglioo, Birmahi
. . .My son was taken violently sick with dip
theria, cold chills, burning fever, and sore throat.
1 counted, one morning, ten little vesclcles In his
throat, very white, and his tongue toward the
root, looked like a watermelon full of seeds; the re
mainder coated as thick as a knife-blade. Ho many
children have died around here, I was afraid to
call a physician, and thought 1 would try your 1'ain
Killer for a gargle with small doses Inwardly. I
did so and found the gargle Invariably rut otf the
vescleles, and he raised them up often covered with
blood. He was taken on Sunday: on Wednesday
his throat was clear and his tongue rapidly clearing
off. I also used it as a liniment witii castor oil and
hartshorn, for his neck. It seemed to me a won
derful cure, and I can but wish It could be known
to the many poor mothers In our laud who are los
ing so many poor children by this dreadful disease.
- X have found your l'aiu Killer one of the most
vaulable medicines ever used in llurmali. Once 1
was stung by a very large black scorpion; thepaia
was indescribable. I Immediately applied the 1'nl n
Kilier,(for I never travel without it,) again and
again, and in half an hour my foot was well.
Drj Walton writes from Coshocton" Your Pali ,
Killer cures this new disease Dipllterla, or Hurt
Throat that Is so alarmingly prevalent here; and
it has not been known to fall In any instance when
used in time. Tills fact you should make known le
the world." (It is used la tills disease as a gargle
and lotion as well as a tonic and a stimulant.
In Halifax wiiere this disease prevailed for se
many months in its most nulllgiiaut form, the us
of 1'erry Davis " Pain KiUur" was invariably at
tended with the most favorable results, when it wan
used ere the disease had made too much progress
to preclude the use of so powerful a stimulant.
