NEW DL00MFIELD, l'ENN'A. Tuesday, March 7, 1S71. The premium on Gold remains very steady, and nil attempts to force up the price have failed. The closing rate last week was 1 1 0 3 . The bill making Philadelphia the place of holding the centennial anniver sary has passed both houses of Congress. For this legislation we may thauk the ex ertions of tho Pennsylvania Senators. Gkohok L. Harrison, Ksq. of Phila delphia, has been appointed by the (lov ernor as President of tho Board of Public Charities, in place of Gen. Kane who re signed. This is undoubtedly a good change, and we trust will enable the board to work more harmoniously. )n IIklmhold took his famous 5 horse tandem team to Washington during the late Carnival. It probably attracted more attention than any other displayed on the avenue, as it undoubtedly is the finest turn out in tho United States. All this comes from making good medicines and advertising them freely. The Forty Second Congress met at noon on Saturday. It is probable that this session will last for a month, and per haps more, as considerable business has been left undone by tho Congress which lias just expired. The administration is also very anxious to havo a report from the San Domingo Commissioners, and to havo action taken on that subject. The difficulties between tho miners, the operators and the railroad companies still continuo without any immediate prospect of a compromise. Already the trouble is having a sad effect on the manufacturing interests of the country, besides forcing coal up to such a prico in tho cities as to cause great suffering to the poorer classes. Tho price for coal in New York is now $12,50 per ton, and they say the quantity is not sufficient for another months supply. The Puiilic debt statement of March 1st shoes that the total debt at that dato was $2, 414,737,001,23, being a decrease of $7,317,900,08 during tho month of February. When we consider tho pecuni ary difficulties under which thousands are suffering, and tho general stagnation of busincsSjthroughout the wholo country, it would seem as though it would bo a wise policy to manage the finances of the nation so as to dcvclope and stimulate the industries of tho country rather than to extract tho life blood of every enter prise in this foolish struggle to make a large monthly decreaso of the debt, particularly when this decrease is made from that indebtedness which pays no in terest. BSg, During tho Carnival at Washing ton an electric light was shown from the dome of the Capitol on two evenings by which fine print could bo read at the Treasury so says tho " Chronicle." The light was produced by electricity passing between two carbon points. Tho electricity was generated by eighty cells of Grove's buttery, with twelve and a half square feet of Plantiuum surface. It is not improbablo that at no distant tiuio tho leading thoroughfares of our cit ies will at night be rendered as light as noonday by tho use of electric illumina ting apparatus. BaS" On tho evoning of tho 1st inst., Miss Mary Connell, a young lady of 23 years, daughter of the State Senator, George Council, was waylaid by a ruffian, who attacked her, knocking her senseless by a blow in the face, and then rifled her pockets of a valuable- gold anchor lever watch and chain, and her pocket-book containing a suiull amount of money. The outrage took place within a couple of squares of her father's residence, on tho Darby road near Mount Moriuh Cem etery, Twenty-seventh Ward. Miss Con nell is a musics teacher. At the time of the attack she was on her way home from the city, where ehe had been attending some scholars. Jfiy Recently a party of white men en tered the abode of a colored man in Hempstead, assaulted the old man, and pluced his wife on a heated stove. The old man seized an aio aud buried it in the head of one of the party, who was born away by his comrades. The axe is covered with blood, hair, and brain mat ter, and a physician soys that whoever it may be, cannot be found alive. A Bravo Girl. The following incident which happen ed on Lake- Champlain, is told by a cor respondent living at Plattsburg: One evening a short time since a young lady and gentleman of this village, who had frequently been skating before, went out upon tho bay, but believing tho old axiom that " Two is company," went to an unfrequented part, where they could enjoy the skating and each other's society unmolested. After skating for some little timo near shore, the gentleman proposed that they should go further out where tho ice was smoother, to which sho consented, aud they accordingly ventured out about two miles. Here they found tho ice in beau tiful condition, and tho gentleman was proceeding to do tho grapevine, forward and backward roll, together with many other fancy figures oniy known to accom plished skaters, when suddenly tho icn gave way beneath him, and in a mo ment ho found himself struggling in the water and unable to cxtricato him self the ice breaking as fast as ho at tempted to raiso himself on its edge. The young lady, true to her womanly in stincts, began to scream at tho top of her voice, but tho privacy they had sought had taken them beyond the hearing of all who could havo been of any service to them. Ho besought her to go to the shore and endeavor to procuro assistance, but she well knew ho must perish before she could get back, even if she found no difficulty in procuring assistance. Then an idea came into her head, and she im mediately put it in execution. Sho first took off her jacket and dress, and tying them together undertook to reach him with one cud ; but it was too short, as the yielding ice warned her when she moved toward him and tried to throw him one end. What more could sho do ? She hesitated a moment; then, slipping off her gaiters, both stockings were soon tied to tho end of the dress and jacket, and yet it was too short. Meantime, tho young man was rapidly be coming exhausted, and if she was to save him no timo was to bo lost. For a mo ment her hands disappeared in the dra pery about her waist, aud then something fell on the ice about her feet it was her hoop-skirt. This was quickly servcrcd into half a dozen pieces, and added to tho jacket, dress, and stockings, nnd, to her great delight, this made tho lino long enough to reach him. ISravcly sho tug ged at one end of it, while ho clutched tho other with tho grip of a man who knew that that was all which stood be tween him and eternity. In a few min utes sho landed him safely on the solid ice, and then tho red jacket aud dress wero wrapped about her as best they could bo, and tho two started for home, where they arrived without being noticed by any one. Few were thp words spoken on the journey home; but they must havo been to tho purpose, as tho wedding suits are ordered, and before the ice shall disappear from our beautiful lake they will bo married. X. J8QfAta recent lekture in Newark, Professor Weeks performed this experi ment : A quantity of lime was placed in a me tallic box about two feet long and eigh teen inches wide, and about a foot deep. Water was poured upon tho limo, and a lid containing recesses for articles to be cooked placed over the limo. Tea, coffee, eggs, and beefsteak were then placed in tho compartments, and in a few moments tho savory smell of the edibles and aro ma of tho best Java and Young Hyson filled tho room. While the cooking was going on tho Professor turned with all tho cool self possession of an accomplished cook away from tho steaming supper und talked about phosphorus. A silver cofl'eo-pot and china cup wero passed to the audience and tho coutcuts tasted and tested, and more than one lady admired tho plan of so quickly getting a meal without smoke or dust. fli5y On Thursday thrco Ncwburghcrs, named respectively Charles F. aud Geo Juno and Gilbert Carpeuter, skated from Newburg to Albany, a distance of 100 miles, in seven hours and five minutes' skating. From Newbnrg to Poughkeep sio, distance sixteen miles, they found tho ice very rough, and were one hour aud fifty minutes skating that distance. From Ilydo Park to Cutskill, forty miles, the ice was in splendid condition for skating and ice-boating, and they uiado that dis tance in two hours and a half, or an av erage of sixteen miles an hour. Just be fore reaching Castleton they found theico very rough, and were compelled to cross and recross the river several times. On the last milo of the one hundred Charles F. June made a " spurt," and skated it in three minutos and one second. Tho feat is believed to bo without parallel in tho history of skating on the Hudson. 3T A despatch from Neenah, Wis consin, says on Saturday night last John Hess, who has been confined in jail at Oshkosh, Wisconsiu, escaped and imme diately went to Neenah his former home, thence to the home of his divorced wife, and murdered her. The murderer then repaired to his brother's house, ond hid in the attic, where ho was discovered and an effort made to arrest him, when he shot himself through the head. An Example. Tho MeConnclsvillo JfvraM says : " ltev. Cooper, of 'tho Presbyterian church, of this place, took an advanced position on tho teinpcranco question last Sunday. An advanced position for a minister even. Before- tho morning ser vice began the deacons of tho church mado their annual report, nnd announced that the books were open for subscrip tions for tho coming year. After this announcement was lnudo. llev. Cooper in structed tho deacons as follows : 'To re ceive no money on subscriptions from families, any part of whoso income is do rived from the salo of intoxicating liq uors ; to mark all such subscriptions as paid, and charge the same to his account ; that if tho amount allowed him ns salary could not bo raisod from other sources, tho salary might bo reduced just as much as tho subscriptions from these doubtful sources amounted to.' These instructions wero given by ltev. Cooper that his pre cepts may have tho weight of example-" JDGrA married womau in Kansas, who recently eloped with a physician, left the following unique note for her husband : " Dear Hubby: You're played out. I like Dr. so well that I prefer go ing with liiiu, you, good-for-nothing degenerate cuss. It's none of your busi ness where we've gone to. It won't do you a bit of good to follow us, for I won't live with you another day to save your life. You made a mistake in thinking I loved you. I never did. I married you for coiivicnicnco' sake.

Your Late Wife. C-ji" There is a good story told in Washington about a Chinese servant em ployed by Admiral Porter. On recep tion day tho duty of attending door, was assigned to Ah Sin. Accustomed to tho social usages of his own land, whero a visitor's rank is indicated by tho size of the card, and where a hugo yellow one means the presence of a prince, he treat ed the littlo bits of pasteboard with con tempt. Whilo nodding his head and tossing the bit of paper unceremoniously in the basket, the gas collector happened to present his bill. The long yellow slip took Ah Sin, nnd with profound salaams ho bowed the astonished gas man into the presence of tho amazed family. J(&y- Dr. A. D. Newell of New Bruns wick, N. J. had a pure-blooded Chester hog, which ho valued at $00. By ar rangement, sixty of his acquaintances in vested $1 for a chance of tho ownership of tho hog, the person guessing nearest to its weight to win the animal. The va rious guesses were recorded on paper, nnd each placed in a separato ouvelopc. Whcu the cuvelopes wero opened and the pig weighed, it was found that Postnia rcr Fisher, J. Patterson, and J. M. Jack son were tho winners, they having guess ed tho exact weight 080 pounds. The highest guess was 050 and tho lowest 050 pounds. 8Q)s Tho wifo of a Methodist preach er iu Kiclimoiid, Ind., a few days ago battered tho head of an old German fur niture dealer with a pieco of lumber, and smashed his windows, becauso ho insult ed her. She was arrested for this, and on tho examination beforo tho mayor it transpired that tho sensitive female, be ing ignorant of tho German language, had misunderstood a word of friendly salutation for mi insult; whereupon she had resorted to the measure already do scribed to vindicate hor claims to respect ability. t&" A Utica man has brought suit agaiust a neighbor for a singular cause. It seems the complainant had a wifo, which of itself seemed sufficient cause for complaint. Well, this wife got ready to hang herself, when this neighbor rushed up and cut the rope.
