w- e'i iv NEW BLOOMFIELI), I'ENN'A. ! , i ,i ,. - ., Tuesday, Febnuiry 18 1873. Ex-Gov. Grabv wss in tho 84th year of his ago, . Trne King of Spaiu lias abdicated and the Cortes have adopted a Republican form of Government by a very decisive voto. , The Funeral of Ex-Gov. Geary was con. ducted with pomp nnd display on Thursday last. During Wednesday the body lay in in state at the capitol. A number of mil itary companies were present at the fu neral. ; " ' " 1 !' , W Call Attention to tho ndvertise mont of the Centennial Convention, It is a matter which concerns every citizen of the State. Petitions to tho Legislature urging a State appropriation are in circu lation, and those winhiug to sign will find one at the Perry County Bank. , CoLLFXTOit' HoniNBON and Eight Dem ocratic Judges of Lexington, Kentucky, have been arrested ' by tho United States Marshal for refusing to receive tho votes of. colored men at the recent municipal elec tion. A committee of substantial citizens of that place ure now in Washington, In consultation with tho government in ref ' erence to the same matter. ' ' ; At a recent elcotion in Cameron county, ' the people endorsed the Local Option laws, and declared no more licenses to retail liquor should bo issued in that locality of the State. This makes the fifth county that lias voted ' on this ' question, and all the same way. The column now stands, ' Clearfield, Bradford, Tioga, Jefiersou and Cameron counties. Schuylkill, Lycoming, Wayne, Susquehanna,Northumberland and Centre will vote on the question on the 21st of this month. : . i . ! ' At a special meetihg of the Maine Ed itors' and publishers' Association hold at Augusta last week, a resolution was adopt ed piotesting 'against the proposed pre- payment of postage on newspapers at the ' office of publication. A resolution will be introduced into the Legislature calling - upon the Maine delegation in Congress to ' use their infiuenoe against the passage of suoh a law. A telegram was sent to speak er Blaine asking him to attend to the mat ter as soon as possible. ' I " ., ! , . ! '. Amendments to the Postal Law. , A bill to further amend the Postal laws, passed the House without division, making it obligatory to prepay postage on all print ed matter after the first of next January. An amendment was passed reducing the ' postage on daily papers from $1 SO to 60 1 cents" per " annum.' Exchanges among newspapers go free as row. ' Weekly news papers circulate free in' the county where published. Letter postage is reduced to 1 two cents. ; ''i ' ' It is not probable, however, that the bill 1 Will pass the Senate this session. T.r,: '. : " ' : i Extremely Fine Totals of Law. , v A singular question has j tut been docid- ed by the Supreme Court of Connecticut, that the bondsmen of a criminal are not re- ; leased from their obligation by his arrest ' on another charge iu a different State. Two Danbury men gave 18,000 bonds for an express robber named MoGulre, iu 1804. Soon after the man was imprisoned in v Maine for fifteen years for burglary. Claim- , ing thoy were prevented from presenting . the person of the criminal for trial, only by ," an act of law,'; the bondsmen refused to pay, and the State brought a suit to recover the amount of the forfeited bail. ' - The Supreme Court of Errors of the , State held unanimously that as the States are independent and sovereign, Connect- . icut is not bound to heed the acts of Maine. The sureties, however, maintained that McGulre was taken from, that State on a , requisition from the Governor of another, under a provision Of the Federal Constitu tion, which was the supreme law of the land. , The Supreme Court of tho United .States was almost equally divided on the , question, the vote of Chief justice Chose , being necessary to give the decision. The State has accordingly recovered from Mo- Gulre's bondsmen the $3,000 with interest. Erie, Pa., February 11. The Erie ex , press going west on the Philadelphia and , Erie Railroad, went on a broken rail west , of Ridgway this morning. The engine, tender and baggage car went over safely, out two passengers cars wen; aown an embankment six or eight feet. The sleep ing car kept the track. Fifteen persons 1 were bruised, but none wore seriously hurt. The train was running very slow at the time. RAIL ROAD HtOSrECTS ! Another Meeting! t Another mooting was held in the1 Court House on last Wednesday evening, by tho citizens of this vicinity who are determined to secure a railroad connection with the Pennsylvania Central. The committee appointed at a former meeting to obtain subscriptions, made a favorable report from which it appeared that over f 15,000 has already been secured. The feeling mani fested by those who are favorihg this en torprlw,' indicates that success will even tually crown their efforts. The exertions now being put forth, are not ' in support of any particular route or plnoe of junction. Subscriptions are taken horo, with the un derstanding that the majority of shares shall decide upon tho eastorn terminus. That decision will of course be entirely influenced by tho Rid to be obtained from the contemplated points, ' Thero is no doubt but that Duiicanuon, is the choice of many of the subscribers, while Baily'S has its strong friends.1 Both parties are how ever, willing to yield their preference to the will of the majority, feeling that the road Ib of more importance than the route. We olready know what we have to raise to make tho road to Baily's and, that the meeting might vote understanding, our friends at Duncannon, and along that route, have been invited to see what they can raise upon the condition that Duncannon is made the eastern terminus. ' The next meeting of subscribers will be hold on Wednesday evening, February 20th, when it is expected that a vote upon that matter will bo taken. In the moan time it is hoped that all of our citizens to whom the road is important, without regard to where the other terminus is made, will place their names on the Bloomfiold subscription list. There are many who aro interested iu tho road no matter tcJiere it may go, who yet have a preference as to its routes, and all such should get their names on the subscription list, before the vote is takon, and the more liberally they subscribe the greater their influence in determining the question, as the vote is to bo taken by shares. A charter has heon secured for both routes, and though tho Duncannon charter is exceedingly defective, it is probable that the defects could be remedied with but little expense, should the citizens decide to push that route. ' ' ' A Queer Disease. r A young man not long ago laid siege to the heart of a young lady in Louisville, who in due time Surrendered tho fortress into his keeping. A day was appointed for the nuptials, friends were invited, ' good things to eat and drink wero provided and all tho concomitants for well-regulated weddings were prepared. The day camo, the guests came, but tho bridegroom "the young man from the country" came not. The mother of the bride that was to be went out to interview the son-in-law that should have been. She told him of her daughter how, like Amy in "Lockly Hall," her "check was pale and thinner than should be for one so young, and how she was pining away from disappointment and grief. The young man' observed, de- precatingly, that the young lady bad never been very fat ; but the would-be mother- in-law parried this thrust and represented to him the impropriety of his conduct in suoh moving terms that he felt bound to apologize. lie accordingly told the old lady that he was Borry to have grieved and disappointed her daughter and herself ; but that be was the subject of uncontrollable fits of loving, and when one of these came upon himhe could not keep from courting somebody. This, he said, was a disease, and that be was in no sense ' responsible for anything he did while this temporary madness was upon him. If he had, under the power of this.' malady, made love to her daughter, he was sorry for it, but he could not help it. If she doubted his word, he said he could bring hundreds of physicians to provo that such a disease existed, and hundreds of his acquaintances to prove that he had it. The lady from Louisville went home a sadder if not ft wiser woman.' Before she loft she expressed great sympathy for the young man, observing that " it was such a pity that he could toot be cured." Too Much of It. A few days since, a comparatively young roan, smooth-faced and small, called upon a lawyer in Bedford, and asked this simple question, "Is there a law in this state al lowing a pension to parties having twins ?' "Not that I know of," said the lawyer, "Why? Why?" said the client, " I have had twins seven times In seven years, and I know thoy give a pension In Russia for fulfilling the law (Bible), and I , thought the old Keystone never went back on the commandments." The lawyer told hlin the Keystone never wont back on wliut was right, and thought probably be might find something in the statutes that would be in his favor, and that he should call at another time. The mother is a buxom brunette about thirty-uine years of age, and has, in addition to the fourteen twins, given ten single births in seventeen years. That she deserves a handsome pension, there is no question. A Tonng Lady Can Rend Aloud lint Cannot raw. A report of one of the most remarkablo eases of 1 unfortunate loss of facility corhos from Caenarvon township,' Berks county, Pa. Living1 with her parents, near Joanna Station on the lino of the' Wilmington nnd Reading railroad, is Eliza Wyne, a tiitte-toen-year-old daughter of Samuel Wyne, who during the past fow weeks has lost the entire control of hor conversational powers. In other words, she cannot utter a sontouce in direct conversation. She can read aloud Clearly and distinctly from book or'' nows paper can write down her thoughts or that which she desires to say, and in that man net? communicate,' but tho moment she en deavors to carry on a verbal conversation sho fails. ' ' This was first noticed somo few weeks ago, when her speech became sud denly impaired and her mind of a rambling character. It gradually crew worsts, until now she cannot 'speak a word in verbal conversation. " " ' ' Dr. Charles Heckle of that soction, has been attending tho young lady, and pro nounces the case as one of the most re markable he has ever noticed or read of. MIbs Wyno Is quite a likely young lady, ploasant, well educated, and of preposses sing appearance, nnd this sudden visitation of calamity falls heavily 'upon hersolf, pa rents and friends. She is a member of the Rock Church Sabbath School, and is very favorably known in the lower section of Berks. ' A Story with an Illustration. The following story illustrates Senator Patterson's pathetic speech the other day about loaving public lifo with pleasure if affairs were going on in this way, and the complaints of Colfax and Harlan in tho same strain : ... A London dotective put his head into an omnibus one day just as it was starting off, with the remark, " Passengers will do well to look out . ior their pocket books. There are two members or tue swell moD in this 'bus." Thereupon a grave looking old eentleman with eve classes and a cold headed cane hastily got out, Baying: "If that s the easel wont go in tue 'bus." Ho was followed by a clerical looking gen tleman with a white choker, who remark ed that he "wouldn't ride in such, com pany.'! And then the detective closed the door and shouted to the driver, "All rigut, drive on J they've got out." Tho wooden railroads in the vicinity of Quebec have attracted some attention, It appears that thero are now a hundred miles in operation.' The gauge Is 4 feet 8 inches. The running time is about 0 miles per hour, but trains have been run at 33 miles per hour. The rails are made of rnaplo, 4x7 Inches, set up edgewise, " and notched into the cross-ties four inches deep, and held by two wedges down in the notch on the outside of the rail.' The' ' ties are eight inches thick and laid twenty inches apart. Tho cars have four wheels, and some of the engines weigh thirty tons. ' In frosty weather the driving wheels have less adhesion than on metal rails, but no con siderable difficulty is experienced from this cause. The rails will last from two to four years, according to the quality of the timber and the amount of the traffic. ' The cost of such roads is from f 4,000 to 17,000 per mile. They seem to be very well adapt ed for light traffio, and as soon as the bust ness of such lines may require ' it, metal rails may be substituted for wood without any change in the equipment. 1,1 Miscellaneous News Items.
