Tuesday, June 20, 1S71. Excursion of tho Pennsylvania Efiito rial Association. Tho convention of the Editorial Assneia timi of Pennsylvania was held at Williams port, on 'Wcdiiesday last, and wo left homo on Tuesday for tho purpose- of being pres ent on that occasion. To nil v. ho luul no liflcdtho secretary of tho Association of their intention to nttend, tickets had been furnished for themselves and ladies, which entitled them to passage over tho various railroads running to that point. Arrange ments had been made with Messrs. Scolleld & -Harry, proprietors of thellcrdie House, for tho accommodation of tho party while there, and it was but a few minutes after our arrival on Tuesday evening before all were assigned to comfortable rooms, and seated in their splendid dining-room doing justice to a bountiful supper. On "Wednes day morning carriages were at tho door to take all who wished to go tho river, whero thrco littlo steamboats wero ready to con vey the party to tho upper cud of tho great boom, which tho citizens of AYilliamsport very justly consider ono of the great at tractions of their place. The sail was a pleasant one, and extended up tho river about eight miles. After tho return from there, many visited ono of tho largo saw mills, where one can see the largest log put into shape for market in a shorter time than would bo thought possible. All that is not suitablo for boards, after tho log has passed one gang of saws, passes at onco to tho lath saw, and all that cannot bo mado available for lath is placed on cars and ta ken out to burn tho wbolo operation last ing no longer than thrco minutes. After dinner tho convention assembled in tho opera house a splendid building which w as placed at tho disposal of tho associa tion by tho proprietor, Mr. Elliott. In tho evening at eight o'clock, the annual dinner of tho Editorial Association was served in the large dining-room of tho Ilerdio House, where substantial food, and delicacies in great abundance, wero spread for the guests. After proper attention had liecn paid to these, a couple of hours wero agreeably passed in drinking tho toasts which had been prepared, and listening to tho speech es. On Thursday morning, the excursion ists left AVillianisport, feeling that no pains had been spared by the citizens to make their sojourn in that city pleasant, and probably there is not a member in the wholo party, who will not look back to their visit to 'Williauisport with feelings of satis faction. There are but few cities in the United States that exhibit a more enterprising spirit than is found in this city of lumber. Within six years past, the population of Williamsport has more than doubled. The Herdic House which stands close to tho rail road, is pleasantly located in a large square the grounds around it, being beautified with shade and ornamental trees. The house is four stories high and two hundred and sixteen feet square, and will comfortably accommodate four hundred guests. It was built by Peter Herdic Est)., to whoso enterprising spirit the citizens of I lie place owe much of their prosperity. We need only to say of Messrs. Bcofleld & Harry the present proprietors of the house that "they know how to keep a hotel," and any person wishing s pleasant place to sjiend a portion of the Summer will be sure of finding it with them.1 -' By the kindness of the superintendent of the Northern Central Railroad, Alfred It Fluke, Esq., the , conductors of that road were directed to pass all holding editorial tickets to Williamsport, from that place to Watktns and return. , Accordingly on Thursday morning at quarter past seven tho party started on their excursion, Tho road from Williams- port passes through . a great variety of scenery. Sometimes it skirts a mountain where tall pines, overhanging rocks and little streams, dashing along their narrow rocky beds, combine to form a scene as wild as it is' beautiful and grand.'. Again we rush past a cozy looking village and on through pretty valleys,-where farm houses quietly nestling in the shade and surround ed by well tilled farms, present a picture suggestive of comfort and content. WHn the eye gratified by a continued change of scene the four hours required to reach, hi- mira quickly pass away. From that place tite appearance of the country changes, and though the scenery is less wild it Is none the less interesting. ' Another hours ride brought us to yy aunis, an oia lasmoneq town situ- pted ftt the Ivfld of Seneca Lake. After a few minutes walk up a pleasant street wo roached tiio cntranco to WATKIN9 GLEN. Wo shall not attempt a description of this spot, for wo havo neither tho time nor tho ability to do the placo justico ; but as wo passed into tho narrow chasm, and looked up the steep rocky walls that tower up on cither side, climbed tho dizzy heights by tho stnirs provided for that purpose at the entrance, looked down into waters rushing along the rock bound channel and over tho precipice, into tho pool below, wo felt that wo wero already repaid for mir visit, though wo had as yet only had a glimpso of the beauties tlicro to bo found. It is about fifteen minutes' walk from tho entrance to tho Mountain House, though a person can easily pass hours on tho way if ho takes timo to properly examine all tho splendid views which aro continually pre sented for admiration. Tho hotel which is located at the head of the first glen is built after tho style of a Swiss cottage, and from its veranda you look down nearly two hundred feet into the ravine beneath. On arriving at this resting place wo suji posed we hud Seen the whole Glen, but were informed by Mr. Parsons tho proprie tor, that wo had only passed over ono third of tho distance and that many of tho llnest views wero yet to be seen. Therefore after a rest and a good dinner wo again started to finish tho excursion up tho cool and shadowy recesses of the delightful place. Wo havo visited Niagara, Mammoth Cave and ma ny other points of interest in tho United States, and are free to confess that none of tliem went so far beyond our ex pectation, and so entirely satisfied our love of tho beautiful and sublime in nature, as our walk of that afternoon, and wu return from that, trip feeling that descriptions of tlio placo cannot do it justice. AVo adviso each of our readers to take tho first oppor tunity that offers to visit tho plaeo and you will then "know how it is yourself." After supper, tho line steamboat 'Magco' took tho party up ono sido of Seneca Lako for about 10 miles, and crossing over ro 'urned along by the other shore, giving a lino view of tho lake. Tho excursionists arc under great obliga tions to the citizens of Watkins for their hospitality; and to Mr. E. U. Parsons of tho Mountain Hotel and Mr. Joshua Jones secretary of the Pleasant Valley Wino Co., wo think each hungry and thirsty individ ual of tho party felt particularly indebted. Tho Editorial Association may well feel satisfied with this their first excursioii,and as they think of tho good times enjoyed, they will no doubt feel that tho Secretary Mr. It. 8. Menamin, fully earned tho vote of thanks unanimously tendered him for his exertions to make tho trip a ploasent one. Over ono hundred Editors wero present, many of them being accompanied by their ladies which added materially to tho pleasures ot tho occasion. On tho return from Watkins, many of the party stoppcdiat Mincqua Springs, in Bradford Co., Pa., where Messrs. Scolleld & Harry had generously tendered a hospita ble welcome to all tho editors in tho State. tW A new stylo of brogan shoos has been produced, mado principally of elm wood, in Massachusetts. The solo is divid ed at the ball of tho foot and reunited by a hingo of solo leather of suitablo thickness, two inches wido, so as to give free play to tho toes. A portion of the upper is mado of leather, but they are toed and heeled with wood. They are, however, sliajicd in tho modern style and not like tho Babot of France, which is all wood, and turned up at the toe, "Heathen Chinee," style. In the fastening copper rivets aro mado use of and all the parts whore the wood and leath er unite are packed with India-rubber. These shocB will cost less titan a dollar per pair, and are a mollification of thn Europe an wooden shoe ; but it is doubtful whether they will bo found as good as the English clog, which is ono of tho most comfortablo of foot coverings when properly mado, when the ground is covered with snow or mud. tST Mr. B. Burrier, of Decrlield, N. II., lost an ox last week in a very singular maniier. For some time he had noticed that tho ox was reluctant to move, though he ate well. He had worked the pair ail day Wednesday, but on going to the barn Thursday morning he found this one dead. Examination revealed a piece of very slen der steel hoop, from a hoop skirt, about four and three-fourth inchos long, fast In the case that surrounds the heart, and the end of it pressing against the heart had worn a hole in it as large as a walnut, and caused death by opening the blood vessels. How it could have got there is a mystery, unless it was raked up In tho hay and so taken into the stomach, and forced Its, way through the integuments to the heart.'

" !,ur :' T '- "'' - HORRORS OF THE SEA. SIX HUNDRED COOLIES PERISH I San Francisco dispatches give tho follow ing particulars of tho burning of tho Pe ruvian ship Don Jnan which left Macao on May 4, with a cargo of coolies for Pern : Tho Don Juan loaded at Macao, taking six hundred and fifty coolies on board for Peru, and on tho Jitli was burned to tho water's edge, not movo than fifty miles from Hong Kong. Tho coolies who have arrived in Hong Kong, nil aver that their treatment was humane, and they had nothing what ever to complain of cither as to tho allow ance of food or tho quality or quantity, and the whole affair was simply acciden tal. Tho other view of tho question, name ly, that the vessel was set on firo by design ing men among tho Chinese, is not impos sible. One of them distinctly avers that he heard mi explosion of gunpowder aft, and also smelt a strong smell of it. Others again say that they did not hear any report ; that they were nearly overpowered by the sick cning smell of the ship's material burning aft. It is to bo regretted that the Europe an who had tho humanity to open the hatches did not succeed in saving his own life, as ho was overtaken by the coolies who made a rush at the boat waiting for him, anil a general scramble occurred to get to it, the Europeans using arms to prevent tho coolies getting into it. In this scramb le several Cliincso wero drowned. Tlio boat, however, ultimately succeed in get ting clear of the ship, but had not gono far w lieu it upset in sight of but not within reach of the coolies. Tho coolies then seem to have had a little leisure to look a round, when they observed the other thrco boats at a distance. During this time all the materials of tlio ship were rapidly burning, and a large number perished in the hold, some of whom, no doubt, wero sullbcatcd, but the cries from others wero piteous. Many, however, jumped in the water and escaped by drowning the more horrible death by lire. While the luckless men were on deck and on tho bowsprit in this position ono of the masts fortunately gavo way, and the men at onco made a rush and scramble to reach it ; they clung on with desperation, calling as loud as they could to save their lives. They had not been long in tho water before a fishing junk came up and they were taken off, two or three at a time, in a small sampan. Tho mast was held on tho wreck by wire rigging, and would otherwise havo drifted away to sea, Tho coolies stato that there wero no less than fifty Europeans on the vessel, so it remains to be seen what became- of them. Some, no doubt, wero lost in the boat that was swamped. From Macao it is reported that thirty-live of tho crew have arrived tlicro, and aro unani mous in stating that tho coolies mutinied and set lire to tho ship aft, in hopes of forcing all to abandon her, mid so take tho vessel. It seems they thought the fire could bo extinguished afterward. t27"Hou. C. C. Bowen, recently convict ed of bigamy, was brought into tho crimi nal court at Washington last week, to bo sentenced. Mrs, Susan Pettigru King said, "If you sentence him, sentence mo too, for I am as much to blame as ho is." Bow en then made a statement concerning tho circumstances of his marriage, boforo w Inch Mrs. King had sent to New York and obtained a copy of the record of his divorce from a former wifo. Sho as well as himself was satisfied that everything was right, and that there were no legal obstructions in the way of their marriage. Judge Olin then sentenced Bowen to pay a fine of ffi'iO and to be imprisoned two years in the penitentiary. Bowen, after a pause, addressed Mrs. King, saying that when his term expired he would return to her, whereupon Mrs. King extended to him her bund, which ho grasped as a pledge of faith. She appeared to be deeply affected. Bowen was subse quently taken to jail, where he will remain until tho decision of tho court in term, which meets next Monday, the 12th lust., on the exceptions to tho rulings of tlio criminal court, his object, being to obtain a new trial. C3T Last week one Waldroii appeared M Bay Sido, L. I., in search of his wife. Ho found her In the person of Mrs. Valentine, wife of Mr. Jeromo Valentine, who were married a few dayH before. Waldroii al leged that he married the lady last June iu New Jersey, and insisted that she was bis wife. Mrs. Valentine denied it, and se cured a warrant for Waldron's arrest. That he did marry some one on that day is prov ed by a number of witnesses. But was it Belle Carpenter ; she sweat that it was not ; that she nevor saw him in New Jersey ; and that she never traveled to New, York with him. " 1 ' ,( tPP" James Burrus, of Moore county, N. had a tenant, Jack Peoples, who would not work. - Mr. B. took steps for his eject ment,.,, and one evening ..last, week ; the sheriff, acvoompuniud by Mr, Bunas, went to serve a process on lbs negro. ,u i( v During' tho progress of the" affair,! the negro raised a shot-gun to shoot Mrj Bar ns, who also raised his guri,' when both fired simultaneously, and both fell dead -Id their tracks. ' ! 'i tiy George II.. Wood a sleeping coach conductor on the Hudson River and Now York Central railroads, recently gavo in formation to tho polico authorities of Iloboken of Silas Woods, who mysteriously disappeared on tho 1st inst. Wood says that on his last trip to Chicago, when near Ponghkoepsio, ono of his passcngci's was, as ho supposed, drunk. Ho subsequently noticed that tho man's clothing was disord ered, that tho studs had been torn out of his shirt, and that ho was in a stupor, hav ing evidently been drugged. An effort was mado to nrouso him, but without circct, and on tho arrival of tho train at Utica the man was placed in tho hands of Dr. Gray, of tho Asylum. Ho had evidently been robbed of everything of value, though where or at exactly what timo is unknown. Tho only clew to the identify of tho man is in a letter found on his person directed to Silas Wis ids, Hloomfield street, Iloboken. On the evening of Juno 1 Woods received a note saying that a brother living in New York had ben fatally injured, nud summon ing him to Harlem. Woods started, and was not again seen. It was subsequently ascertained that ho had not been to Har lem, and that his brother had not been injured in any way. A Help Meet. Woman is intended by divine law to be the helper and coadjutor of Man ; and it is, tliercforo, with intonso admiration for tlio beautiful operation of that law that we re gard the spcetaclo afforded by a wifo who is in tho largest and noblest senso a help meet for her husband. Such a spoctaelo presents itself in Delawaro county, where Mr. J. Mullaly Jones works a farm of sixty acres, assisted only by his wifo. This su perior woman accompanies her husband to tlio field, and when he, overcome by tho fatigue and heat, attempts to sit down, or to turn to her for consolation, sho stands by and watches him, and jabs him iu tlio ribs with a hayfork, and makes him rise up and stir aro'.ind in a lively and energetic maimer. In Chenango county, N. Y., a novel lawsuit is exciting considerable curiosity. A Miss Evans is the plaintiff, and Curtis Cooper defendant. Mr. Cooper, it appears, agreed to give Miss Evans one ewe lamb and its increase until she was twenty-one years of age, in consideration for a gold watch key. Tlio suit was brought to re cover tho sheep or its equivalent. Tho ev idence showed that tho im icaso was to bo in ewe lambs, and that tho natural increase of a flock of sheep would double every year. According to this estimate Miss Evans would have at the end of fifteen years 10,- 004 ewo lambs, w hich at $-1 per head, would amount to O-S.IO. Tho Justico who heard the evidence lias reserved his judgment. tli" The Scranton (Va.) Republican statos that it knows of a mule that has been brought up in the coal mines, that under stands what it is expected to do so wel, that when pulling a loaded car up a slope, and finding that its strength is not holding out, it wilt catch hold of a sill with its teeth, and thus keep tho car iu position un til tho driver succeeds iu blocking tho wheel.
