NEW BLOOXFIELD, PENN'A.
Tuesday, April 12, 1870.
Senator Camkron and lion. 11. J.
iralJciiuin liavc our thanks for public
documents.
At a Corporate Kloctiou last week, at
Towsontown, Md., thirty-five colored cit
izens cast their first vote.
The hill authorizing counties and cities
to decide by a popular vote whether li
quor shops shall be licensed within their
limits, has been killml in the Senate.
Tin: remains of Major Gcucral Thomas
were buried at Troy, N. Y., on the Sth
inst. President Grant and a large riuni
.ber of prominent military ollicers were
present upon the occasion.
Ejections "were held the past week in
llhode Island and Connecticut. In It. I.
the Republican candidate for Governor
was elected by nearly 4000 majority, and
both Houses of the Legislature are largely
Republican.
In Connecticut the Democratic candi
date for Governor, who is ex-Governor
English, is elected by S!2 majority.
The Senate stands II Republicans to 10
Democrats and the House has a Republi
can majority of 13. The vote in both
.States was very light.
'The State Legislature lias adjourned.
The proceedings at the last were of the
most -reckless character, bills being rush
ed through in such a. manner that hardly
any one knew what they were .voting for.
Tho following is given as the entire
process by which hundreds of bills were
transformed into laws iu the respective
Houses :
Clerk (reading the title) " A supplement
to tho act incorporating tho city of Phila
delphia." Speaker "There being no objections
to this bill it will bo laid aside for a second
reading.
Clerk " A supplement to tho act in
corporating the city of Philadelphia."
Speaker Will Hie Uouso agree to tho
bill ?"
(Voices anywhere) "Aye, aye."
Speaker " "Will tho llouso transcriho
tho bill, suspend the rule, and read the bill
a third time by its title ?" Voices, " aye
aye !"
Speaker "The bill passes."
With bills passed in such a manner, it
is .not surprising that many were pushed
through that would hardly bear inspec
tion, and had it not been for the use of
tho veto power, tho State would have suf
fered still worse.
Among the vetoes, is one objecting to
.the passage at the Jersey Shore and I'iue
Creek. R. R., on the ground that it is not
only inexpedient, but unconstitutional.
Trial of Rcr. Horace Cooke.
Rev. Horace Cooke has demanded a
trial at the hands of tho New York East
Conference, which assembles in that
city.' He has employed an eminent .law
yer, and will seek to excuse his crime by
proving temporary insanity. The trial
will be conducted privateby before a com
mittee, and noUn open conference. This
is the gcutleuian, .it will be recollected,
.who absented himself without louve iu
January lust, with a young lady uamed
Johnson, a member of his congregation.
.A Female Lawyer.
.Judge Kuight, of . St. Louis, .after
having her subjected to a rigid examina
tion, which .she piused without -once
tripping issuod a licenso to Miss L. Rark
nh us a practising lawyer of tho St. Louis
bar. She is about tweut.y-two years of
age. Great interest is inauiiested to wit
. tiess her .maiden eil'ort iu the profession
t-ho has chosen.
Special Correspondent of Tins Times.
IlAKiiisuuitci, April fcftli, 1870.
Mr. Editor We liavo all been taught
from early infancy, and are daily reminded
by passing incidents, that all things earthly
must sooner or later end ; alid thus with the
session of tho Legislature anil my corre
siondonee to The, ' Tinun. Whatever good
the body hero assembled (during the past
few months in tho name of the people) may
have done, let them have credit tor. What
wrong I hoy did, let us cover with the man
tle of charity. Roth Houses have pretty
well cleared their desks. Among the many
things done by the House, in the closing up
was the passage of a resolution to distrib
ute tho Hate's Histories. The Appropria
tion Dill was vetoed by tho Governor. His
objections were that the charitable institu
tions which receive gratuities from tho tate
Treasury were not compelled to render any
account as to how the money was appropri
ated by them. The objections were sus
tained by both Houses, and an additional
section appended to the bill requiring all
such institutions to account quarterly tothe
Auditor General of the State. In the hen
ate all the nouiuatious sent in by the Gov
ernor were unanimously continued, except
that of Col. George McFarland as Superin
tendent of Soldiers" Orphans Schools, which
was defeated by a vote of nineteen to elev
en. Some very sharp words passed between
several of tho Senators, l.owry made a
powerful appeal for the Colonel, in which
lie called the attention of the body to the
fact that the colonel had lost a leg
at the battle of Gettysburg and that his
other is almost useless. The Governor sent
in a message on the last day of tho session
vetoing the Jersey Shore, 1'ine Creek and
l'ull'alo Railway Dill. The friends of this
measure were very much diseoniiitied at
this boldness of tho executive, and a few
took occasion to call luiu some hard names.
But the people who an; sovereign and were
most interested in this matter will hail him
as their benefactor. The poor and over
burthened laborers, mechanics and farmers
all over the wide domain of this great com
monwealth will acknowledge him as the
protector of their sacred right's and words
of praise will bespoken of him at every lire
side ; even when those who now ligure upon
the stage as prominent actors are forgotten.
The veto will speak for itself. It is unan
swerable. 1 regret that the bill removing
stock-yard to your county was defeated in
the Senate, not withstanding your senator's
eJlbrts to get it through. In conclusion I
will say that your senators and representa
tives all deservo praise for closely watching
the interests of their constituents.

Accident.
The Mihuu ion says: An accident oc
curred on Thursday afternoon of last
week at M'Ewausville which came near
being fatal iu ils results. A large num
ber of persons, forty or more, were crowd
ed into tho back room of Wiu. Raird's
house, where a vendue was being held,
when suddenly the floor gave way, pre
cipitating the entire party, together with
a rod hot cook stove, into a cellar kitchen
below. At once there was an exciting
scene, women shrieking and leaping wildly
from tho windows, and to add to their
fright the stove set fire to tho building
and it required hard work to subdue the
Haines. Among the injured are J olm
Wiiiterstein, whose ankle was dislocatod;
Wm. Eaird, severely burned about the
arm uud face; Willie Wetiek aged,
twelve; William Dichl, a boy uamed
Lai'orui, and several more were all burned
more or less, the last named it is said
dangerously.
J6sy" James R. Hough, a contractor,
while removing the old hotel on the corner
of Third avenue and (Jue-hundred-aud-thirticth
street, at Harlem, N. York to
make room for a new depot for the Third
Avenue Railroad, found several pieces of
silver coin scattered on tho floor" of a
room in the attic, the room having for
some time been used as a store room.
A man working for the contractor
found a valuable diamond pin in a rat-hole,
and between tho casing an old wallet con
taining gold and silver coins, notes and
other valuable papei'8,represcntiiig a value
of about $73,UOU. The building has been
used for. a great many years as a hotel,
and the wallet has lam in its hiding place
probably for many years, and was un
doubtedly tho proceeds of a robbery.
JGSrA printer's "IMP" in Detroit,
sandy haired and speckled faced, working
for Jive dollars per week, astonished his
employers and the compositors iu the

when they learned that he had married an
huiiess, and that his wife could buy half
a dozen establishments like that iu which
her lord was serving an apprenticeship.

neath the caldrons, and the house was
shaken by the clhirts of the steam ascen
ding the tubes. This is the lirst notice of
the power of steam recorded.

fSF An elderly gentleman of unim
peached veracity, though by the way
somewhat addicted to story telling, relates
tho following:
During the early days of this town,
before carts came into vogue, ho was ac
customed to haul his wood by the aid of
an old black marc he kept i m his service.
Now the old mare's harness consisted of
a breast plate and traces, made of the un
tanned hide of an ox. At the close of a
rainy day, he went to his wood lot, for
the purpose of procuring a log of wood.
After having cut a log which ho judged
might bo a sharp load for his beast, he
fastened her to one end, with her head
homeward, and gave her the rein. The
old marc continued her course until she
arrived at the door, when, to his surprise,
he discovered that owing to the extensi
bility of the traces, they had stretched
tbj; whole distance without breaking or
removing the load an inch. Throwing
down his axe ho went to the beast, and
removing the harness from her, threw the
breast plate over a post that .stood near
the door, and went to bad. Upon rising
the next morning ho found that the heat
of the morning sun had so operated upon
the coutractability of the traces as to
bring the wood up to the door ready for
hewing and splitting.
A SI range Case.
Iu Philadelphia on Friday last a little
girl uamed Cessna was before the Mayor.
She had beeu taken iu charge by Lieu
tenant Kelly, at Manayunk. There was
every reason to believe that the child was
not here under proper circumstances,
and that she had been abducted from her
homo elsewhere. An investigation was
made, and tho facts wore reported to tho
Mayor, who ordered the child brought
before Jiiiu. Sho is a beautiful little girl
aged ten years, and seems to have been
educated beyond children generally of
that age. Sho is well clad, has her own
trunk, abundance of good clothing, with
various little trinkets; is in possession of
photographs of her decoased mother and
two brothers, tho latter younger than sho.
Her .father is said to bo an eminent phy
sician in Mississippi, and now has a
second wife. Tho devclopements so far
would seem to indicate that tho child,
dressed iu boy's clothes, was taken from
her homo at. midnight by an uncle, both
riding on horseback about ten or twelve
miles to u station, and thenco proceeded
by cars to the Mississippi river, and by
steamer. to New Orleans.

PAIN Is supposed to he the lot of us poorniortals
as Inevitably as death, and liable ill any time
to come upon us. Therefore it is important that
remedial agents should he at hand to lie used on
emergency, when we are made to feel the excrutia
ting agony of pain, or the depressing InlUichces of
disease.
Such a remedial agent exists in Terry Davis
"I'ain Killer," the fame of which has extended
over all the earth. Amid the eternal ices of the
Polar legions, or helical ii the intolerable and burn
ing suns of the tropics ils virtues are known and
appreciated. And by it sull'ering luimanily has

I'ain Killer upon die patient, when taken Internal
ly in cases of Cough, Cold, l'.owel Complaint, Chol
era, Dysentery, and other alt'eclions of the system,
has been truly wonderful, and has won lor it a
name among medical preparations that can never
be forgotten. Its success in removing pain as an
external remedy, ill cases of Hums, ilraises, Sores,
Sprains, Cuts, and Stings of Insects, &c and other
causes of sutVering, has secured for it the most
prominent position among the medicines of tho
day, .r ISeware of Counterfeits and worthless
