4 lie mcfl, Ncto Bloomftcli), )a. 1 i ' .-,. , . fr. it V , J V NEW BLOOMFIELI), PENN'A. Tuesday. October 1, 1872. On the 25th nit, the Rev. Peter Cart wright the well-known pioneer MethodUt preacher, died at his home, near Pleasant Plains, Sangamon county, Illinois, aged oighfcy-seren years. There was a heavy snow storm along the line of the Northern Pacific R. R., in Colorado on Monday night of last week. Drifts wore ."found three foot deep and the telegraph wires wore blown down. . Tim Ohk State Lnnatio Asylum was de stroyed hy fire on the '25th ult. Five lives were lost. All tho victims were citizens of Nowhurg, except Mr. Burgess, of Bedford, Ohio. The loss is estimated at $500,000. As far as is known nono of the patients were injured. TnB confession of Kronhoim, the son-in-law of Johnson, the defaulter in the Sub- Treasury, Bhows that lie UBed in stock spec ulations over f 150, 000 of the government money, and instead of boing accepted as a "witness ho has been tried for crime. Gov. Ghaut has pardoned Joseph F, Marccr, late Treasurer of Philadelphia and Charles T.Tcrkes tho broker convicted and imprisoned for fraudulently using public money. Just beforo election every vote must bo looked up. The otlicial report of tho investigation in the Motis disaster results in the revoking of tho licenses of the captain and Jirst and scoond pilotH. Tito report states that the responsibility of tho disaster rests upon Captain Burton and tho two pilots, and some blame is attached to Mr. Doane, first mate. Latter from Gov. Curtin.' The following letter has been received from Ex. Gov. Curtin, by tho Chairman of the Liberal Republican Committee Saratoga, September 21, 1872. My Dear Sm. Your favor of thellth hist, informing me of my nomination by the Liberal Republican State Committee us candidate for delegate at largo to tho Constitutional Convention, and inclosing an address to tho people of the State rec ommending my election.came duly to hand, but extreme illness prevented my reading the letter or considering the subjoct until now. I am still quite fecblo and unable to write without tho aid of an amanuensis, but the near approach of tho eloction, and the gravity of tho issues immediately ef fecting tho honor and prosperity of Penn sylvania, to be decided in October, compel me to answer when my rest should be un broken. A nomination made by somo of tho pur est and tost old representative Republicans of the State, and presented to the people upon grounds which stand out in brave contrast with the demoralized political management now so Badly prevalent is an appeal I cannot refuse to respect. I there lore accept the nomination, and if it shall be ratified by the people, and my health permits, I will discharge its duties with fi delity. I had oonfidentally expected im mediately on my return home to familiarize myself with the details of what I well un derstood in all general respects touching the misrule in our Commonwealth under its present political control, and to speak my convictions at the earliest possible mo ment. While I cannot ever be indifferent in a Presidential contest, I felt the regener ation of my native State, in the October election, was of paramount interest to the people in whose happiness and greatness I am enlisted by every consideration of grat itude and patriotism. If Mr. Buckalew shall be defeated, and a new lease of authority thus conferred upon the despotic control that has long misruled the commonwealth, it will be marvellous indeed if the convention chosen in the par tisan strife of a national contest can afford any substantial relief or protection to the people. If Pennsylvania is to be restored to purity, tho government in all its depart ments as well as tho convention, must harmonize- fully and earnestly in the work of regeneration. JVlr. ttuckaiew's oouressea integrity, and consistent devotion to reform during many years of ofllcial Borvico, give the best possible guaronteos of honest ad ministration and complete restrains upon corrupt or reckless authority, and his elect ion seems to be demanded by every consid eration of individual manhood and fidelity to tho honor and advancement of the State. If, as is claimed by desperate leaders in Pennsylvania, to regenerate our State in October will effect the national contest a cause thus to be endangered must bo want ing in the most essential attributes of popu lar confidence. . Actuated solely by a sense of duty to a peoplo whose devotion in time past furnishes the most grateful memories of my life, I shall vote in October for hon est government in our Commonwealth, and meet the Presidentul issue when it comes beforo tho people, in accordance with my long settled convictions. I cannot afford to sacrifice a great con test for constitutional, legislative and ad ministrative reform because a Presidential election is pending. To yield tho question Mould give fresh victories for misrule, and make the eflott for just fundamental re straints either measurably or wholly abor tive. Very respectfully, your obedient rervant, A. G. CURTIN, - A Conrt Incident. It would seem from the following which we copy from the Philadelphia Age of the 25th nit, that Quakers do not meet with much favor at tho hands of Judge Allison. " When the Court was opened, the jurors were sitting on the platform allotted them which Is quite noar the Judges' bench and among the foremost was a member of the Society of Friends, who wore hiB broad brim hat as assiduously as if ho had been out in the Open air under the hottest sun. Judge Allison said he thought all citizens should be equal before the law, and one should not be privileged to wear his hat in a Court of justice whore others were not so entitled, and therefore he would have to request - the gontleman to remove his hat The juror held a private conversation with Ilis Ilonor, in which it was supposed that ho explained that the wearing of tho hat was intended as no disrespect to the Court, but as an obse. ,'aoce of the rules of his religious belief, and he could not with a clear conscience voluntarily comply with tho request After he resumod his seat, Ilis Ilonor removed all difficulty by direct ing the erior of the Court to remove ' the gentleman's hat, which order, was promptly executed without lesistance on the part of the owner of the offending cbapeau. Sub sequently Ilis Ilonor excused hira from further attendance. Explosive Cigars. The sale of explosive cigars has, says the Figaro, begun again in the streets of Paris in spite of all the precautions taken by the police to prevent these dangerous articles from boing sold to the public The cigars in question appoar genuine to the purchas er, but contain a minute cracker, which when tho cigar has been consumed to a certain point, explodes, the cigar itself fly ing to somo distance from tho mouth of tho smoker. Not only are these cigars capable of severely wounding those who smoke them, but they often lead to inconvenient and dcplorablo results. Not long ago a gentleman happening to have somo in his pockot, and believing them to be ordinary cigars, ofi'crcd ono to his uncle, whose prop erty ho expected to inherit, and who woro a sot of artificial teeth. Ilia horror may bo imagined when ho saw what appeared to bo tho entire jaw of his respected relativo briskly expelled from his mouth and fas ten on tho features of a high ofllcial person, who was heard to shriek out indignantly, "Monsieur, you have bitten me." Death of Senator Davis. Garrett Davis, United States Senator, diod at his residence, in Paris Kentucky, at 0:!10 the 22d ult, after an illness of four weeks' duration, of a gangrenous affection of tho lungs, lie Was seventy-two years of ago. Ho was buried on Tuesday last Gar rett Davis was bom ,af Mount Stirling, Kentucky, Soptombor 10,, 1801. Ho ' re ceived a classical education, and was ad mitted to the ' bar in 1823. His practice was extensive and lucrative From, 1833 to '30 ho was a member of the State Legis lature. Ho was a delegate to the State Constitutional Convention in 1837. . The same year he took his seat ' having been elected by the Whigs, in tho United States House of Representatives, where ho remain ed till 1847. Ho has been in the United Senate as a Democrat since 1801. He was a personal and political friend of Honry Clay, and a leader in tho Whig party till its dissolution in his State in 1801. Silver Ledge Discovered. A wonderful discovery was made recent ly six miles west of Caribon of an enor mous silver ledge or system of ledges, so locked and woven together as to be prac tically one lodge. It measures 03 feet in width, and can be clearly traced over five miles, carrying ore the entire way, and as sayes $175 to $1,000 per ton sure. A large number of men are already at work on tho Marshall tunnel, near Georgetown. A vein of solid mineral was struck last week 30 Inches wido.

On Thursday night last three cars of the down express train on the Willraington and Weldon railroad ran off tho track be tween' Fvorottsvillo and Dudley. The ladies' car and sleeping car woro precipi tated down an embankment, the former turning upside down. A considerable number of passengers were slightly and sevorely injured, but not dangerously. tW A Vermont engineer on a locomotivo recently saved the life of a little child at the risk of his own. The father, worth $75, 000, asked the courageous man to tako a glass of soda, as reward for saving his little one. This little incident shows that tho human breast is not entirely dovoid of generosity and things. The noble engin eer, however, refused the glass of soda, saying he didn't want to beggar the fa ther. tST Tho burning of John Mcliiuis & Co,'s wool ware house at Boston, involves a loss of about $175,000. There wore five hundred thousand pounds of wool in the building, much of which was burned, and nearly all badly damaged. Tho property is insured for $185,000, including $10,000 in the Girard, of Philadelphia. Miscellaneous News Items, CA Frankfort, Ky., ' dospatch says Governor Leslie has appointed ; Willis B.

'' tChicago, September 25. A torriblo storm of wind and rain swept over the eastern portion of Iowa yesterday P. M. In the town of Monona, thirteen houses were blown down. At Dubuque property was damaged to tho amount of $10,000 to $15,000, aud at Dunlcith, 111., from $1,000 to $5,000. 2?A despatch from Milwaukee dated the 23d ult., says: Tho heaviest rain storm over known in this vicinity commenced last night, and continued until noon to-day.

Melton, the reg ular Republican candidate for Attorney General. In the melee John D. Caldwell and Major J. M. Morgan, two friends of Melton, who interfered to separate the combatants, were shot - Caldwell was in stantly killed. Morgan was but-slightly wounded. The verdict of the coroner's jury charges George Tupper, a friend of Montgomery's, with the willful and roa lioious shooting of Caldwell. : The affair, owing to the social position of the par ticipants, causes much excitoment. ' t3T"One of the old citizens of Louisville, narrates that many year ago, a well-known citizen,, fell in love, and repaired o old George D. Prentice, the editor of the Lou isville Journal, to help bim out. Ho wont off to the plains, and tho report came back that he had been killed by the Indians. Prentice at once rushed In, and wrote a whole column upon the virtues, graces and promise of this martyr to his iuvincible disposition, and there was a good deal of sympathy made In the State, and some regretted his suit had not been encouraged. Suddenly the abseut one came back again resumod his suit under cover of the sym pathy that had been aroused for him, and was marriod without opposition. tSTFlftoon years ago the daughter of a well-known and highly respected citizen of Ilaitstown, Crawford county, now dead, suddenly disappeared. The girl was but fourteen years of age, and there was much conjecture over her mysterious disappear ance. Kvory search was made for hor, but without success and evory effort to obtain any clue to her whereabouts proved un availing. Last Monday tho supposed dead girl mado hor appearance In Hartstown, a haudsomo and fashionably dressed lady. Sho stated that she was now proprietress of a dry goods store in San Francisco, and be ing on hor way to New York to buy goods, thought she would stop at the scenes of hor youth and see how everything was. It Is said that she declined to give any statement of her life from the tlrao sho disappeared from homo. As might be exacted the af fair creates considerable talk in the local-Ity. American Cars In Germany. It is gratifying to every Amoricau citizen to know that many articles of American make have a foreign reputation. Even our cars have such a name in Germany, that Emperor William has sent to this country an order for two thousand railroad cars, and fifty locomotives, to be made after our most approved , American pattorn. Rail roads are in progress within the Empire which will soon need this new stock; and it is no small compliment to our mechanical skill, and especially as displayed In rail road equipment, that American patterns should be; preferred to any other. The whole order was first sent, through the Consul General of tho German Government at New York, to Pittsburg, Ponn., and the time of filling the order limited to three months. With this part of the requisition it was found impossible to comply. The order was then offered to largo establish ments elsewhere in the United States, with the same conditions as to time; but when it was found that none of them could fill it, the order was again sent to Pittsburg, with a year allowed to make up the stock. This might, perhaps, have been attempted at first; but in the interval between the two orders, so many largo and pressing de mands for work had come from parties in this country that the German order could not be attempted, even with the extended time. It has since been divided botweon tho different Car and Locomotivo Works in various parts of the country. ; Foreign Items. Stockholm, September 21.
