Tim committco of the memorial fund for tho Presbyterian Church of tho United States, report that tho amount raised up to noon, on tho 24th Inst., was $7,007, 140,91. The United States Senato has ratillod tho treaty agreed upon by tho "Joint Com mission." If it meets with tho approba tion of tho British Parliament, there is a chance for all tho troubles between this country and England to bo amicably set tled. Tho editor of tho Times, in this week's paper, thinks ho has mado an ablo defense for tho Pennsylvania railroad comyany, by replying to tho nrticlo in last week's News in regard to tho latochango of schedulo If tho citizens of Newport woro not blessed with railroad communications they would perhaps, sing mum with their friends in Uloomlicld ; as it is they havo a right to complain when their accommodations aro taken from them. Seat. Good Gracious ! how mistaken wo havo been, for wo always supposed that citizens from this place and many other parts of tho county had an interest, in tho railroad accomodations from Newport, and conse quently wo had a right to say something upon tho subject. Hut as our Newport neighbor claims it as " their accommoda tion" perhaps wo ought to apologise for our interference. Independent Papers. Within a few years past, there has been a largo number of " Independent Newspa pers" established throughout tho country, and tho most of them have rapidly increas ing subscription lists. Tho complaint against political papers is, that they pub lish only such articles as tho editors think will advanco tho interest of tho party they serve, whilo tho " Independent papers" do not hesitate to commend what is right, or condemn what is wrong in both parties, and publish facts without stopping to in quire which part is to bo affected by such publication. A largo majority of tho reading communi ty have become dissatisfied with the partizan press, and prefer papers which will record events as they transpire without giving them tho coloring of party prejudice This is no doubt tlio reason why there is such a rapid increase in tho circulation of "In dependent papers," and tho greater growth there is in general intelligence, the nioro dissatisfied will tho public becomo with journals devoted to tho advancement of any particular cliquo or party. Tho grum bling and growling of tho editors of such papers may havo the desired effect upon tho office socking portion of their read ers, but upon tho majority of the com munity the effect will only be, to hasten what they desire to hinder ; that is, . a still further addition to the subscription lists of tho "Independent papers." EST There is a story going tho rounds of tho press that a few iSabbaths ago a certain minister of a church in Danville, Kentucky was so confused by a distinguished member of his church repeatedly blowing his nose no furiously, that ho forgot entirely that portion of his sermon undelivered, also the text. Tho brother couldn't toll, and ho bo camc confused. Another brother was ask ed, and ho stated a chapter and vorso, but when the Hook of books was opened, that wasn't the place. This mistako confused matters generally. Tho minister in despair asked that whoever knew the text should answer it, but the congregation had for gotten it and was abashed that their inat tention had become known to their Pastor. A prayer ended this romarkablo meeting and the congregation did not learn till the next week, that their preacher was in dead earnest in his inquiry for tho text They thought ho was only trying them to iind out how much they knew of tho sermon. ItEi'OitTs from Paris say that the Govern ment troops havo been successful in obtain ing possession of tho city. The loss of life was terrible, as all the gates and barricades wero stoutly defended. It is estimated that nearly or quite one third of the city has been destroyed by flro, and tho fires aro still raging. On Friday last an Knglish government steamer carrying steam (Ire ap paratus and a portion of the Loudon Are bri gade left Dover to assist in extinguishing tho flames. It U hoped that tho strength of the CommuuisU is now so far broken that the government will havo but little more troublu with that faction and that peace will huvd he established. Shall ws have a Railroad? To those who aro interested in getting railroad communication into hilly and thinly settled portions of tho country, we wish to state a few facts which have been demonstrated by very narrow guago roads already in uso. The pioneer road of this class was built in Wales and is used for carrying coal and freight over a mountain ous country. The last report of the doings of that road shows that whilo an ordinary guago road requires convoyanco of tiro tons weight to convey one ton of freight, the 2 foot road convoys three tons of freight to each ton of conveyance, making tho cost of carrying freight less than ono-third of what it is on tho wide guago. Besides this, tho cost of making the road was loss than ono third of what would havo been tho expense of tho other stylo. This is owing to light and narrow bridges to tho narro w bod re quired, and consequent reduction In cutting and embankment, still further reduced by tho greater curves practicable, which allow the route to conform to tho faco of tho country over which it passes. Of course the weight of iron is much less than is required for heavy engines and cars, and tho cost of tho molivo power is . proportionately re duced. A road with a thirty inch track has been in uso somctimo near Cleveland, and so satisfactory is its working that, roads of same, and loss guago aro contemplated in different portions of tho country. Ono is now being built from Deanvcr, Col., to tho Moxican boundary of thrco foet guage, and wo havo no doubt, but that a fow years hence, there will bo many miles of such road in successful operation. Having stated tho small cost of this stylo of road and tho choap rato at which it ca n bo op erated, we ask what is to prevent such a road being built from here to Duncannon. Tho charter of tho D. 15. and B. T. road, owing to tho criminal ncgligonco of thoso having tho matter in charge has been allowod to expire, but that is no reason why tho county seat should be deprived of a railroad communication. Lot a few who aro interested in this matter take it in charge and see that by tho timo tho Legis lature again meets that another charter shall not only bo applied for, but that ar rangements aro made so that tho work shall bo pushed on at once. Since tho above was in typo wo havo been favored with a very full report on tho subject of narrow guago roads, by E. N. Itobinsou Esq. Wo return our thanks to tho friend sending the article for his kind- Democratic State Convention. Tho Democratic convention met in liar risburg on Wednesday last for tho purpose of nominating candidate s for Auditor Gen eral and Surveyor General. Tho atten dance was quite largo and tho proceedings were harmonious. Tho convention was or ganized by tho election of Hon. William Hopkins of Washington as President, with thirty thrco vico Presidents and tho same number of Secretaries. & Tho following named gentlemen wero placed in nomination for Auditor Oenoral ; A. D. Markley, of Montgomery county ; William M'Candlcss, of Philadelphia ; D. II. Nieman, of Northampton county ; F. M. Crane, of Wayne county ; George W. Skinner, of Franklin county. On tho fourth ballot Gen. M'Candless re ceived a majority of votes in tho conven tion, and was declared elected as tho candi date of tho party for Auditor General of tho State. Quito a largo number of gentlemen wero nominated as tlio candidate for Surveyor General, but on tho fourth ballot Capt. 3. II. Cooper of Lawrence was declared tho nominee. After the adoption of a long string of resolutions and the eloction of Hon. William Wallaco as chairman of tho stato executive committco tho convention adjourned tint die. ' Jury Culture. The trial of Foster in New York for tho murder of Mr. Pulmaii, commenced last week, and live days were occupied in getting a jury. Tho great difficulty of ob taining a jury who knew nothing about the case, in these days of cheap newspa pers, makes tho New York Tribune sug gests tho following : , It proposes to establish a House of De tention, where a given number, say a hun dred thousand, respectable and intelligent citizens could be constantly on hand, to bo drawn as jurors 1 T hey niust bo allow ed no access to newspapers or other current literature and in order to keep their minds fico and unbiassed, and mako the placo self-sustaining, they might bo assigned to soino useful and entertaining labor, such as polishing marble or fashioning pogs and leather into boots and shoes. Then, to guard against mental contamination, they should be handcuffed whilo on their way to the court-room, and their eyes and cars se curely bandaged. They could thus bo mado to face the judge, tho lawyers and the prisoner without any previous kuowl edgo of the case or its hearings.' Wo shall certainly have to resort to some such meth od of jury culture for tho supplying of the courts, if the existing tlmo-houored system is to be maintained. The Legislature adjourned on But unlay noon, after a very long, and, to the taxpay ers, rather an unsatisfactory session. A Terrl ble resilience. Tho City of Buenos Ayrcs has for a few months past been scourged with a terrible pcstilonco, some idea of which may bo gath ered from tho following extract : "In gome instances husbands have aban doned thoir dvinor wives, mothers havo loft their children to die alono, and in many cases wholo families havo been swept away. As many as flvo or six corpses have been discovered In a single house. A new ceme tery has been opened in the campo south of tho city and a tram railroad laid to it. Tho bodies are carriod out on tho trucks packod like freight. There is no time to construct coffins, and tho stock on hand was long sinco exhausted. In some instances tho undertakers have lied from the terriblo harvest of business that tho pestilence has caused. Tho population of tho city, winch ton weeks ago numbered at least 200,000 souls, is now reduced to 40,000. About 1.10,000 thousand have fled their homes, some tak ing refugo in Montevideo and tho towns up tho Parana river, but tho larger portion nro in tho rampo, within a distanco of from ten to fifty miles of Buenos Ayrcs. Tho mis erable mud huts of tho peasants in tho dis trict havo been besieged with tenants from among tho wealth and aristocracy of tho republic, and in some cases aro receiving from $2o0 to $.100 per month rent. Thoso who remain in tho city nro mostly of tho poor classes, who havo not means to leave, and tho Public Commission, a philan thropic association organized for tho emer gency, is now proposing to send away on tho railroad such as aro not yet affected by tho fever. There is much division of opinion as to tho origin of tho fever, but it is pretty well settled that it was brought in an Italian emigrant ship which arrived from Genoa and Barcelona in January last. As to tho causo of tho spread and ravages of tho dis ease, any one who has ever been in Buenos Ayrcs can readily sco. Tho city is built on tho Hat shore of tho river, is without any system of drainage whatever, and for near ly 200 years the inhabitants havo buried all filth, garbago and refuse matter of every description beneath their houses. This was done by sinking bcll-shapcd wells to a depth of fifteen or twenty feet, tho sides being strengthened with rudo brick work. These wero reached by small openings at tho sur faco several feet in depth, and through these apertures tho iilth was deposited in tho cesspools below. When tho sinks be came full the mouth was lillcd up, and a new cesspool was dug clsewhoro. This system prevailed everywhere throughout tho city, and to day Buenos Ayrcs ishoney conibod by these filthy traps. 3f A singular case is now occupying tho attention of tho Circuit Court in Ulster county, N. Y. More than a year ago a nig ger named Levi Bodino killed his employ er, Daniel Hashbrouk, a rich fanner, and was duly arrested and lodged in jail. There was no reasonable doubts of tho facts in tho case, and one would supposo tho trial ought to havo boon swift and easy. But it so happened that Lovi Bodino is deaf and dumb. Ho has never lcarnod tho dumb alphabet. Ho cannot express himself ex cept by rudo and arbitrary signs. 1 Io can not understand his counsel. If ho should be fried on the indictment for murder, ho would not havo a fair opportunity for de fense, and tho judge avows a natural re pugnance to hang him unheard. There was some hopo that ho might bo found in sane, but, on tho contrary, ho scorns to bo remarkably intelligent. Tho court mado tho ghastly suggestion that ho should bo educated especially for tho purpose of boing hangod, and his trial postponed to allow time for tho process ; but there Is no law justifying tho appropriation of tho public money for such an objoct, and Levi conse quently waits in jail till the judgo and tho district attorney can mako up their minds what to do with him. Tho man clearly knows enough to bo responsible for his ac tions, and tho murder was cold-blooded and premeditated. If tho court cannot make up its mind to hang him, it ought at least see that ho is shut up where ho cannot kill J anybody elso for tho remainder of his life. I The Counterfeiters. Tho United States court for tho Eastern district of Pennsylvania is now in session in Philadelphia. Our citizens aro greatly interested in tho trial of a number of coun terfeiters from this vicinity, against whom truo bills have been found by the grand jury. Yesterday the caso of Frank Carr, who formerly kept a livery stable in this city, was announced for trial. Wo under stand that he has turned Ktato's evidonco and made a full confession. It is probable that Mrs. Kato Frantss and Michael Kerns will bo tried to-day. Both are residents of this city, tho former kcoping a notion store at tho comer of Canal nnd State streets, and tho latter a hotel at tho corner of Canal and Walnut streets. Both aro alleged to have been largely implicated In tho circula tion of spurious money, and intimately as sociated with tho counterfeiting organiza tion whose ramifications extended all over tho State. Tho case of Klias Hoffman, a corpulent huckster from the vicinity of Mo chanicsburg, will most likely conio up to morrow. Ho has long been suspected, and was instrumental In procuring tho convle- tlon of Jerome Whitman and Wm. M'Keo-1 vor, and their sontenco to the penitentiary on a charge of larceny. John Toahl, a miller from this city, and Zcrkcr, alias "Tho Flying Dutchman," well known throughout this and neighboring counties who united tho avocation of a podlor with that of circulating counterfeit money, and was remarkably shrewd, bold and success ful, will also bo arraigned for trial before tho court this week, together with the oth othnr parties. Important developments may bo expected and tho proceedings will bo watched with groat interest. Ablo counsel havo been secured, both for tho prosecution and defonco, and a number of our citizens subpoenaed as witness. Slate Journal, A distinguished American artist was onco visited in his studio by a littlo party of ladies, all strangers to him. At last they went away, but ono of tho women soon re turned alone. Getting tho attention of tho artist, si io began in tho most confidential and winning manner: "Mr. , don't you think that in somo future group you may introduce tho figure of a widow?" "Of course, it is possible, yet not likely. Why do yon ask?" "Because I havo a picture of myself, taken only a month af ter my husband died, which has just tho right expression, and I will lend it to you, if you really think you will over use it."
