)c Whites, ftctu Sloomftclu, f)ci. 4 l . fV, NEW BLOOMF1ELI), PENN'A. Tuesday, March 4, 187 S. Alkxander H. Stephens has been elected to congress from tlie eighth Georgia district. In Canada on the 2(lth ult., Mrs. Trask or and five children were burned to doath, in their house. . The cause of the fire is un known. Altoona instead of civinrr a vote for license, as the types made us say last week, pave a maioritv of 000 aoaintt it. We gladly mako this correction. Two of the Huntingdon papers,the Olobe and the Journal devote about half of their space each week to personal abuse of each other. If their readers are pleased with such stuff it dosen't take much to please them. Additional Notaries Public, can now be legally appointed by the governor, when demanded by the publio interests. .Under this law Gov. Hartranft has com missioned Lewis Potter Esq., as an ad ditional Notary Publio for Perry county It is an appointment which will meet the approval of tho entire community TjiE.discusBion in the House of Repre sentatives last week on the report of tho committee recommending tho expulsion of Ames of Mass, and Brooks of Now York, was exceedingly exciting. The report was finally amended so as to censure, instead of expel, and in that shape passed tho house by a -large vote. The whole of the proceedings from the first to the last have been a disgrace to the nation. . Unpaid Pottage. We are glad to see. iu a late telegram from Washington that the Attorney Gen eral has deeided that tho action of the Post- office Department in demanding double the amount of deficient postage upon all letters not fully .prepaid at the time of mailing, is not in accordance with law. We long ago decided the matter in that way, in our minds, upon principles of equity, believing, moreover, that, in an age in which all changes in postal regulations are in the di rection of cheapening postage, the Congress of this nation was not likely to take any backward step .that would throw it out of the general movement. All honor to Judge Pascall, of Washington, whose ap peal to a court of law forced the Postmaste General to refer his action, in the case referred to, to the head of the Department of Justice, .and thus won for the people their Jong denied right to pay nothing but what was due. May the day come but when we dare not hope when the govern ment, whose proud boast is to be for the people and by the people, will always in terpret a law that is ambiguous in its word ing, or doubtful in 1U construction, in the way that will be least oppressive to the people .1 The Price of Type. - Messrs. 'Geo. P. Rowell & Co., announce that they have at their warehouse in New York an assortment of type from one of the most celobrated foundries in the world, that of Figging, London, England, which they will sell at SO per cent, discount from American scale, when ordered in fonts of 100 pounds and upwards. They also offer to import large font on special orders at great discount from the American scale, and profess to be able to fill the largest order in eight weeks from date of its ceipt in New York. They supply sorts in large or small quantities from their stock on hand ia New York at the American scale rate. They assert that if the present duty on type shall be removed, the price of the article, both of home and foreign man ufacture, will immediately fall 40 per cent. below the present scale. trjfTliere is near the Boston and Lowell Railroad, in BomerviUe, a handsome brick bouse, just disoernible from the cars as they enter a eut on the road bed, which has a romantic history. It was built by a ris ing young lawyer of Boston who. was en. gaged to be married. lie bad fully fur iiuhed the bouse in anticipation of soon making it his borne with his young wife, when the engagement was broken off for reasons which, if tbey could be related, would greatly add to the romance of the story. The disappointed lover shut up his new house Just as it was, declaring it should not be opened as long as, the would have been bride, should live. That was near twenty years ago, and the furnished but untenanted house still standi closed, just aa it was prepared to weloonio its expeoted mistress. . HAIL ROAD ritOSPECTS. The Boad Sore tobs Built if th Commission- era do their duty. According to announcement tho meeting of the oitizens favoring the railroad enter prise was held in the Court House, on Uwt Wednesday evening. This meeting was held to decide upon what route to take to reach the Pennsylvania Central. A charter having been granted for a road from Dunoannon to LoysvUle, ma Bloom fiold, and the commissioners named in that aot promising immediate action, the meet ing decided almost unanimously to make Duncannon the eastern terminus. The shares subscribed were then transferred to the subscription book of the commissioners, and the following resolution was adopted by the meeting. Jletohed. That the board of Commis sioners named in the act incorporating the Duncannon, Bloomfiold and Jjoysville luiu Road, are requested to at once collect the first assessment on the shares subscribed, and proceed to organize the company by calling a meeting of the stockholders to elect a board of directors, in the manner provided by law. The subscriptions transferred to the com' mtssioners exceed the amount which the law requires them to have before organizing, and if they now fail to act, the fi ionds of the railroad movement will not be at a loss upon whom to lay the blame. The people demand a rail road and hav. ing placed the necessary subscriptions for the purpose of organization, in the hands of the commissioners, will hold them responsible for any delay that may occur in organizing tho company. We trust however, that there will be no occasion for complaint. Was the carrying out of the projoct in the hands of those who have brought tho matter this far, we have no doubt that within three weeks from this time the company would be organized and in working order. Very many have no faith in tho movement being any thing more than "wind," and consequently will not take hold until some steps have been taken which prove, that something more than talk is intended. We trust the com missioners will see that this class of people will soon have a chance to place their names on the subscription books. A Ciirlons Case. A Memphis paper says : Some months since in one of our courts there was filed a petition for divorce, which exhibits a strange freak of human nature. The petitioner was married in 1852, and his wife died in Feb ruary, 1871, leaving surviving eight children as the fruits of said marriage. Ills mother-in-law took great interest iu her grand children, and the complainant in the divorce bill, at the time, feeling that the grand mother was nearer and dearer to his children than any other human being, and was bound to them by the ties of common affection, married her, believing that the marriage would better subserve the interest of his children, and more largely promote his own happiness than any other course then left to him ; hence, on the 10th day of September, 1871, a marriage was duly sol emnized between the parties in Shelby county. The parties lived together as man and wife for two months, and it never occurred to either of them that there was any im propriety, legal or moral, in such establish ment of relationship as husband and wife. The stop was suggested to both parties by a tender consideration for the welfare of the eight children. In November, 1871, it was intimated for the first time to petitioner that under the laws of Tennessee such a mar riage was null and void, and greatly sur prised at such information, petitioner sought the advice of an officer of the church to which he belonged, and from those learn ed in the law, and was Informed that such a marriage was void, owing to the previous relationship of the parties. In November the parties ceased to live together, and agreed to apply for a divorce hence they applied for a divorce a vinculo, or that the marriage be pronounced a nul lity, and that; the said parties, complainant and defendant, be declared free from the supposed obligation and its consequences. In July, 1873, a decree pro confetto was granted by the court, annulling the marriage the parties being within the prohibited degrees of kindred, and that the defendant be restored to her original name. tW A man in Lehigh county read some where that "the Canadian way of measur ing a tree is said to be as certain as it is grotesque. You walk from the tree, looking at it from time to time between your knees. When you are able to see the top in this way, your distance from the root of the tree equals its height." So he attempted to measure a certain tree, just out of curiosity, by walking forward with his bead between his knees. . Before his eyes bad reached more than half way up the trunk be came to the edge of a pre cipioe sixty feet high, and all of a sudden began to turn somersaults downward until he struck the river below. Then he swam out and went home, aud ho does not even yet know how high that tree is, or whether the Canadian theory is correct, and he does not care J but lie wishes he could find the man who oouveyed the information upou the subjoct to the publio. ' He desires to remonstrate with biiu with a olub. Miscellaneous News Items. Political affairs in Bolivia are be coming more and more complicated. Bus iness is affected accordingly. ; ' VS News baa been received from Haytl up to Friday, the 21st ult. A revolution was momentarily expected to' break out, and Port-au-Prince had already been placed in a state of siege. t2T The spotted fever is prevailing to such an alarming extent at Thorntown, Ind., that tho schools and churches have been closed to prevent the spread of tho contagion. C3T"The State Industrial Home for Girls at White Sulphur Springs, Delaware Co., Ohio, was burned on the 24th ult. There were in the institution at the time 135 poisons. No lives were lost. tW A man at Watson, Clark county, Ind., has brought suit against the railroad company for damages resulting from the death of bis dog, which attacked the loco motive and was run over. tW A family has been poisoned in Kil- dare, Ireland, by eating cake with arsenlo instead of soda, the poison having been sold by mistake. The father is dead and three children are in a precarious condition. ESyMuch of the timber which was felled in Huron county, Mich., by the fires in 1871, has been found to be free from the operations of the borer, and in good con dition, and is being hauled to the mills to be sawed into lumber. tSfWhilo Mr. Davis, of Muscatine, la., took a short trip to Davenport, his bloom ing young wifo raffled of all his effects and departed. When he returned, the Sheriff locked him up in jail for permitting gam bling on his premises. 2?" Jason Weeks of Bangor, Me., has had returned to him a Bangor bond for $1,000, of which he was robbed with $16,000 of other bonds and money, in New York, over a year ago, being knocked down at the same time. The bond could njot be sold, hence the considerate thieves returned it. t& The severity of the winter in New England may be inferred from the fact that residents on the back roads in Washington, Mass., have been unable to got out with their teams since Thanksgiving, alt on ac count of the immense snow-banks in that section. HfQeorge Dorsey, special mail carrier between Dunkirk and Huntingdon, iu Cal vert county, Md., arrested on a charge of embezzling letters, bad a hearing before U. S. Commissioner Rogers and was com mitted to jail. When arrested Dorsey con fessed the theft, and a portion of the money stolen was recovered. f Hasson Lynch and John T. Abrams, citizens of Cecil county, were killed by the 8.30 a. m. train from Philadelphia on the 20th ult. While walking the track two trains passed in opposite directions, and they stepped out of the way of one in front of another. An inquest was held, and a verdict rendered exonerating the company (W The method adopted for obtaining wood for fuel during the Minnesota storm was ingenious. A man would go from tho house to the wood-pile with a rope tied to him, to make sure of his not getting lost even in that circumscribed space, and by the time he hod reached the house, so groat was the penetrating force of the snow and wind, be would be found wet to the skin. tST The first conductor on the Pennsyl- vania railroad was Colonel Morton Garrett, who now resides at East' Brandywine, Chester county. Prior to opening of the road, in 1840, he was a conductor on the Columbia railroad for eight years. When he eutered the service of the Pennsylvania Central the rolling stock consisted of one locomotive, the "Mifflin," three passen gers and one baggage car. i (W Four colored meu bought tickets of admission to the dross circle of the Acad emy of Music iu Cleveland, but were re fused admission. One of them forced , his way in aud was ejeoted by the polioo. A meeting of the colored citizens was held, at which it was resolved to bring suit for damages under the civil rights law,-and a committee appointed to raise money and push the matter in the courts. ' IW A few days ag-Mrs. Sarah Allcutt, of Marcus ' Hook, Pa., received a letter which was written on tho 6th of April, and sent from Elk Dale, Chester county, Pa. on the 0th of April, 1850.

At Indianapolis William II. Beck, a blind man and notorious character, baa made a confession of tlie murder of two girls, Mai-y Henneily and ' Catharine (Junior, aged re spectively eleven and four years. Tho murder was committed la June, 1870, along the banks of the White river near that city, and created th ' most intense ex citement at the time but was surrounded by apparently impenetrable mystery, and no possible clue could be obtained as to the guilty party. Beck was arrested early last week. He has become blind since the murder of the children. New Advertisements. TO THE WOKKINO CLASS, male or fe mule.. Sfift a. wn-.lt mmrantpfMl.
