NEW BL00MFIELI), PENN'A. Tuesday, June 13, 1871. 3-John GavicH, who lias recently been went to tho Indiana State- Prison for life for tho inurilcr of a stngo driver, lias dis covered that his iniquitous net was after nil a means of grace. " I stand this day," ho says, " a redeemed Christian from sin. I liclicvo if I had not killed that old stago driver I would lie in hell this day. I was drinking myself to death just as fast as I could, nnd I was so drunk when I killed him I liko to died afterwards. tW Tho Southern papers very plainly in timate that they aro losing all patiuiico with Jeff. Davis. Tho Kichuiond Enquirer says that Jlr. Davis Is at perfect liberty to " ac cept nothing," and refuse to abide by tho decision of tho war; but that tho Southern people do not intend to follow him, hut on tho contrary will disow n him, and all such extremists. It thinks it too Into in the day to talk about not accepting tho situa tion; and that tho very last man in tho South to avow such teiitinients should ho Jeff. Davis. E3F"A remarkablo application of tho homoeopathic principle of timilia similibus eurantur is given in a Kansas paper. Tho hog cholera having mado its appcaranco on a farm, tho owner took a largo sow that died of tho disease, heaped pino wood nnd brush over nnd nround tho dead animal and set lire to it. After tho sow was well roasted, water was thrown on tho flames, and then all the hogs on tho farm were turn ed loose to feed on tho flesh. The result was entirely satisfactory. Tho sick hogs at ouco began to recover, no moro wcro af fected by tho disease, and tho herd was soon in as good condition as ever. t2T A curious case has just been de cided in tho Supremo Court of "Wisconsin. A Mr. Schuot, an unnaturalized resident of "Waukesha county, was elected in last No vember, Clerk of tho Supervisors. After tho eloction and before tho appointed time for entering upon his oflicial duties, Mr. Schuct took out his certificate of naturali zation. Tho legality of tho election hav ing been contcstod, tho court decided that while an alien cannot voto, ho may bo joted for ; and though not qualified to hold an of fice when elected, ho may remove" the dis qualification by subsequent acquisition of citizenship, and then lawfully servo. t"Tlie Pittsburg Leader says : "Tho Pennsylvania railroad, since tho completion of tho Councllsville route, charges but nine dollars faro for a through ticket to "Wash ington city, for which, when it had tho monopoly, it used to charge some fifteen dollars. "With this through ticket the pas senger gets a sealed packet which ho is di rected to open at Baltimore. In it ho finds $1.20 in money, and a little card ex-plaining that, owing to the monojioly on that portion of the "through route," controlled by tho Baltimore and Ohio railroad, i. o., that between Ballimoro and Washington it was impossible to make airy arrangement, and full fare has to be paid which is therefore inclosed, with the caution, too, that if a ticket is not bought at the Baltimore de pot, tho conductor of tho train will charge extra. tSfTbe Montgomery, Ala., Mercury, says : " "We learn that a few weeks since, a boy by the name of Trollingor, from North Carolina, was so severely whipped by Harry Wysor, near Dublin, Pulaski county, that ho lias since died of his injuries. His of fense was opening a letter addressed to his employer, Wysor, who, on discovering what had been done, told the boy that ho could t ake his choice between arrest and impris onment for breaking open his letter or a whipping from him. ' The boy choso tho latter, whereupon Wy or took him to the woods, stripped him to io shirt, nnd hit hlin seven hundred IiihIi os, literally cutting the shirt from his back In ribbons. Trolllnger, on l)eing released, started for his homo in North Carolina, but wasEcportcd to have died on tho w ay. Wysor has been Indicted for the ofTenee.,' CSS'" I Wisconsin, at a locnlity called Plum Chy, lives a Swede who, having but ono ox, persuaded his wife to carry one end of the yoko lit plowing, whilo ho held the plow, and tlniir boy drove.. .Tho , woman labored at this extraordinary employment for two days,, and was then compelled to quit it, having seriously injured herself in her effort to keep lier end of the yoko even In two Unyi nfter ho died. ,, Exciting Scene In a Newark Cnrcli. An extraordinary scene was recently en acted In St. Peter's Catholic church, Bel mont Avenue, Newark,New Jersey. About eleven o'clock In tho forenoon, a work mnn employed in tho basement of tho edi fice heard a loud noise, as of something heavily fulling on tho floor overhead. Promptly entering tho body of tho church ho found, clinging to tho upper part of tho altar, some fifteen feet from tho ground, a perfectly nude man. Tho latter had climbed to his position and had already hurled from their place, tho handsomely carved stat ues of Saints John nnd Elizabeth, and was thon doing his best to accomplish tho same result with that of tho Virgin. It nppears that after divesting himself of every parti cle of clothing, he mounted from ono niche to another, having meanwhilo destroyed with his dirty feet tho rich lace dressing of tho altar. Over all was an imago of tho crucifixion, and it is believed that his pur pose was also to hurl the imago of tho Sa viour from its positioii. Mr. Warger, Mr. Oeorgo Nichol, and some workmen pro cured a ladder, and after a ilcspovato strug gle with the lunatic (for such ho proved to be), succeeded in getting hint down, dres sing him, and then causing him to bo re moved to tho station-houso and securing him in ono of the cells. Hisnnmo is John Bunk, lie is a German truukmaker, with out family, and about 82 years of ago. His brother, to whom ho was closely attached died recently, and sinco then John has grieved himself into ft state of raving lunacy. A few nights ago ho visited Bev. God fried Pricth and desired to stay in his house all night, saying ho dared not stay at homo for fear of his dead brother. On Thursday night the poor fellow attempted to set firo to tho house of his landlord, Mr. Belcher, of No. 154 Barclay street, and on Friday morning ho imagined himself to ho Jesus Christ, and gained au entrance at tho rear door of the church with tho intention, ns ho said, of casting down all falso lights. Ho is still secured at tho station house. Tho damage done to tho church sanctuary will cost considerably to repair. Teiriblo Earthquake iu China. The American minister iu China sends tho following account of a terrible enrth quako which happened in ono of tho Chi nese provinces : "About 11 o'clock, a. m., on tho 11th of April, 180, the earth trembled so violently that the Government offices, temples, gran aries, stone and store houses, and fortifica tions, with all the common dwellings, and tho Temple of Tyng-Lin were at once over thrown and ruined. Tho only exception was the hall in the Temple grounds called Ta-Chao, which stood unharmed in its isolation. " A few of tho troops nnd people escap ed, but most of tho inmates wcro crushed and killed under tho falling timber nnd stone. Flames also suddenly burst out in four places, which strong winds drove about until tho heavens wcro darkened with smoko, and their roaring was mingled with lamentations of tho distressed people. On tho 13th tho flames wcro beaten down, but tho rumbling noises were still heard under ground liko distant thunder, and the earth rocked and rolled like a ship in a storm, at tho mercy of tho waves. Tho multiplied miseries of tho afllieted inhabi tants wero increased by a thousand fears, but iu about ten days matters began to grow quiot, and tho motion to cease. " As nearly as is ascertained, there wcro destroyed two largo temples, tho offices of the Collector of Grain Tax, tho local mag istrate, and the colonel of tho Ting-Lin Temple, and nearly 700 fathoms of wall nround it, and 851 rooms in all iusido ; six smaller temples numbering 221 rooms, bo side 1849 rooms nnd houses of the common people. Tho number of tho common pco ple, soldiers and Hamas killod by tho crash was 2208, among whom wore a magis trate nnd his second in office. A Fight with a Burglar. Ou Tuesday night two burglar entered a large dry goods store in New London, and having chloroformed and bound tho watchman, took $5,000 from tho safe and carried away $0,000 worth of dry good. Thoy were traced across tho Hound to GroenjMjrt. The Sheriff of Now London found one of the burglars at the railroad dejHit and seized him. The ruffian drew a pistol. Tho sheriff has bnt one arm, and while lie was drawing his weapon in self defence his prisoner took to his lioels. The Sheriff tired and shot him in the leg. The rulliau returned the fire, but did not hit the Sheriff. Both continued to firo ns thoy ran. Many of tho villagers joined iu the chase. "While pursuing through a copse, some of tho villagers fell over a heap of leaves, which revealed tho form of a man. He sprang to his feet, pistol In hand, but lieforo lie could use it was felled to the ground. Ou his person wero thrco pistols and a bowie-knife. Both were lashed to gether nnd taken to the villago jail. . , , Late in the afternoon, tho stolen goods were fon ml iu a yacht auchorod iu tho chan nel. Severn! sets of, burglars' tools and disguising apparel were also ou board. Tho burglars were iakcu back to New London. A Love Frrak. Tho Indianapolis New snys : " For somo time past an uncouth youth, named F.dward Gotier, had been annoying a daughter of Mr. Samuel Tnggart, by throwing lovo epistles Into Mr. T.'s yard, No. 110 North Mississippi street. Ono day last week tho youth was promised a horsc-whipplng from tho young lady's father if ho did not desist. This threat it seems aroused his rovenge, and on tho 3d inst, ho onterod Mr. Tag gart's stablo, cut his buggy harness into small pieces, destroyed tho carriago top by slashing it with a knife, and tho cushions by pouring sulphuric ncid over them. On the 3d inst., ho was arrested by Lieutonant Bolcn and Officer Travis, nnd on confession of his guilt, was lodged in tho station houso on chargo of malicious trespass. t2T A lady residing in a "Western city re turned home ono evening nnd heard somo noiso iu tho room usually occupied by her self and husband. Tho door being closed, sho was reduced to tho keyhole, to which placo sho applied her cyo. Sho saw tho figure of a woman ; standing by her side was the husband of tho jealous wife, actu ally engaged in adjusting a shawl upon tho shoulders of tho intruding female 'Cak ing a shot gun, sho forced open tho door, and shot tho woman in tho hack. Tho husband screamed, tho wife fainted. On her return to consciousness mutual expla nations followed. Tho body of tho woman who was shot was brought in, and it was seen to bo a dummy. Tho husband is a dry-goods merchant, and had brought tho imago homo to repair tho damago it had sustained by exposure. OT" There was a frightful scene at Lyons Iowa, on tho 2d inst. A festival was being given by the ladies of tho Episcopal church in a public hall. Just ns a tableau was en ded, says tho Clinton Herald, the janitor turned up tho lamps in a large, heavy chan delier, which, as he revolved it, unfastened and fell to tho floor, smashing into mole cules, nnd setting firo to the oil, which flar ed up liko powder, making a lire-fountain twelvo or fifteen feet high. "Worse than this, tho lamp fell from tho janitor's hand hitting the wife of ono of tho prominent citizens of Lyons, Mrs. S. Dolan, and set her clothes on fire. Tho panic-struck nu dienco fled for tho doors and windows, with tho struggling, screaming and pushing al ways dono on such occasions. Fortunate ly no lives wero lost, and tho firo was ex tinguished without much damage. C2?"A local Democratic convention in Davidson county, Tennessee, last week, adopted resolutions asserting that, ns the present State Constitution gives tho color ed men every right enjoyed by tho whites, tho validity of tho Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments forms no issuo before tho people of Tennessee, and that no person or paper continuing tho ogitation of that question is entitled to tho confidenco or support of tho Democrats. Among thoso who took part in tho convention and rce commended this course, wcro Ex-Governor Henry 8. Footo, who was a member of tho rebel Congress ; John C. Thompson, of tho late Statu Constitutional convention, and other influential Democrats. The resolu tions, says a despatch, will undoubtedly bo adopted by every county in tho State. EST John Seaman, of Flushing, L. I., married a woman somo time ago, without Mrs. Seaman's knowledge and consent. His life was a talo of two cities, and ho conducted laith establishments without conflict.

Thon, he attempted to extend his enter prises by adding a fourth, which intent was consummated Sunday ; but tho ladies were now so Humorous that they could scarcely be expected to remain in ignorance of each other's existence, and tho matter came out. Mr. Seaman is in the jail of tho biga mist. tS?" Oil Tuesday morning a tall, slim, young man of good address presented a draft from Philadelphia ut tho American Exchange National Bank for $1,000, and it was honored.
