4 NEW BLOOMFIELD, PENN'A. Tuesday, October US, 1873. For Two Dollars and Twenty-Five Ccntg We will fnrnlsh Woods Magazine- and The Bloomflcld Timet for one year, together with THE SPLENDID CHROMO TO SEMITE. Those who nro already subscribe to The Timet, can by sending ui 1, have the Maga zine and the Chromo. This chromo Is the linest picture that has beenolTered by any publication and will be an ornament to any house In the land. Its size is Hx'iO, and is valued at $6. - The Supreme Court of Indiana lias de clared the Liquor law iu that State to be constitutional. Last Week, the 8outh Carolina Legis lature met in extra session to consider the financial condition of the State and provide means to pay the interest on their public debt. Governor Morris sent in a long message, lie Bays the funded dobt is $13,027,503, and the floating debt $5,300,397. A DisrATCH from Washington to the Herald says : Colonel Hughes, republican candidate for governor of Virginia, having conveyed a challenge to fight a duel in 1870, is ineligible under the new constitu tion of that state, which debars senders, receivers or carriers of challenges from holding ofllce. The official returns from all the counties in the State show that Mackey's majority in the State was 25,852, and Gordon's ma jority for Judge was 14,204. Had Macltey depended on the vote of the state out side of Philadelphia, for his election, he would have been defeated, as his majority iu that city is greater than his majority on the total vote. Tbe chief coiner of the United States mint, Mr. A. Loudon Snowden, delivered on Thursday morning to ex-Governor Pol lock, the superintendent, the sum of $855 000 in now double eagles, or twenty dollar piccen. This is by far the largest delivery ever made in a single day at the Philadel phia mint, and is doubtless the largest ever made at any mint. The weight of this coin is over one and a half tons. It is Bald that the price of gold having fallen so low, Secretary Richardson feels justified in placing currency on a silver basis, and has determined to begin next week paying out silver the same as green backs, and will, when desired, pay off bills against the government in silver and ex change silver for currency, or vice versa. Instruction will be issued to the treasurers and assistant treasurers. The Buck's county Mirror edited by a native of this county, Jos. M. McClure, Esq, says : "Perry county is peculiarly unfortunate in forming with Dauphin a a single Legislative district. She will, in consequence, be misrepresented in the House at the next session by an insignifl cant little busybody, of whom she has good reason to be, and is, thoroughly ashamed, " About fifty farmers in Lancaster co., took their tobacco to a couple of women living in the neighborhood, and had it made into cigars for home consumption Au internal revenue officer got wind of it, and had every one arrested for violation of the internal revenue law. The penalty for the offence with which they are charged is a fine of not less than $100, and imprison ment for not less than six months." To read the party papers just before an election, one would sunnose that the politi cal editors considered most of their readers nretty nearly idiots, judging from the many times they feel it necessary to repeat the advise, "Get Registered," "Vote the straight ticket," "Vote for the regular nominations. " and &c. lust as thouirh the majority of voters had neither thewill to securo their political rights, or the ability to properly periorm tnoir amy. In the Legislature of Iowa, the anti-Monopolists havo'.fifty-three members and their opponent forty-six. The Chicago Time says this is a splendid achievement for the new party. It is in the legislative bodies, State and National, that it must work out its reforms, and the anti-Monopolists of Iowa have done well to give this direction to their efforts. That they did not secure a majority in the other House is; only due to the fact that one-half of the Senators hold over. In another year, it is safe to . presume that the new party will have a majority in both Houses. t$r The Texas oattle (ever is spreading in Macoupin county, Illinois. Many ani mals have died and many are sick. An attempt will be made to collect damages of the parties bringing the oattle into the neighborhood. The Civil Damage Law. Wherever the so-oalled "Ohio law," or that requiring liquor sellers to pay dam ages for any injury to persons or property resulting from the sale of liquor, bos been fully enforced, it has been found very ef fectual, and therefore it is natural that the liquor interest should devote all its en ergies to the nullification of this kind of temperance legislation. Recently the Mayor of Milwaukee, taking counsel, perhaps, of his own wishes, refused to require the liquor sellers to take out licenses under the law of Wisconsin, alleging in defence that the law was unconstitutional. A case was brought In court requiring him to obey the provisions of the law. His attorneys defended him Ingeniously, first on the ground that the law was inconsistent with itself, nnd therefore of tio effect, in that it licensed the sale of liquor and then punished the seller for acts done under his license ; second, that the statute law violated the common law in making the seller respon sible for every remote consequence of his act ; and third, that it was possible for the drunkard, through other members of his family, to profit by his own crime. The Supreme Court has decided the case against the Mayor, affirming that the law is con stitutional and sound in law, the State having a right to prohibit or regulate the sale of liquor as it sees fit. In several other States a similar law has been sustained by the courts, and the result has been very marked. Iowa is cited specially as having given heavy verdicts to those who have suffered from the conse quences of liquor selling, and the provis ions of the law there are so clearly dcflnod, and the law is so popular, that the liquor sellers have not had the courage to appeal a case to the Supreme Court. The work ing of the law, so fur, seems to prove that it is both more effectual and more just than either the absolute prohibitory law or the simple license without the civil dam ages clause. Tiieke is now no doubt that Allen is elected Governor of Ohio by a majority of about six hundred, and that the Democrats have a small working majority iu the Leg islature. At the same time, the Demo cratic vote is really a small one, and shows no increase over the voto of last year. There is, therefore, not much reason for Democratic elation over this victory, but there is good ground for Republican lamen tation. The election of Allen was not due to any increar e of strength in the Demo cratic party, but the demoralization of their rivals. It is plain that many Rcpub can voters have become dissatisfied with their party, but there is no evidence that they intend to work with the Democrats. The true meaning of the election is, that the people are ready for the formation of a new party upon new issues ; a lesson which the politicians, however, wholly fail to perceive. A Westmoreland County Disgrace. A correspondent says : One of the at tractions of the fair was a foot-race be tween young miners for a small sum of money. Well, there was a dispute between thorn as to the amount of clothes they would wear during the race. Finally the meu, in a spirit of recklessnes, proffered, although there were some two thousand people present, many of whom were ladies to strip entirely. They hod been drinking, and were lost, it seems, to every feeling of decency. The crowd they were with ac ceded to their proposal with yells. The miners, who were at some distunco from the starting point, and out of sight of the general crowd, began to strip, and in a moment the brawny miners stood out in the blaze of afternoon as was Adam, when he began the business of agriculture in Eden. They would have trotted out just as they were, but there were one or two among the crowd not utterly lost to a sense of decoucy, and they succeeded in making the runners wear breech-cloths made out of towels. But the utter insufficiency of the covering of the racers when they appeared upon the track, and its final displacement in the race, made a scene that drove every respectable lady from the grounds. Queer Place for a Colt. A few days since, it is related, J. W. Keene, of Pembroke, New York, took his mare from the barn, leaving a two month's colt behind. On his return, some two hours after, he found the colt on the roof of the barn. Being unable to follow the mare it had sought some means of escape. In the first place it had gone up a flight of stairs llfteen steps then over the hay mow, and out of a window in the gable end of the barn, on to a half roof. From this ele vation it worked its way to the roof of the main barn, which is very steep ; then it returned to the half-roof, whence, on the return of the mother, it jumped to the ground, a distance of fifteen feet, a feat which it accomplished without being the least injured. Rich Marriage Scene A York paper says : " A few days ago a couple visited the residence of one of our preachers, staling their desire to be united in wedlock. The bridegroom was so ox cited be forgot to take off his hat, and when reminded to do so, placed it on the mantel. After the ceremony was pcrform the happy swain started away bareheaded with bis bride." A Strn ggle with a Devil Fish. Mr. Charles B. Brainard, of Boston, In wntlng to the Soientiflo American about specimens of the devil fish, relates this in teresting incident : The strength which these creatures possess is almost beyond comprehension, as is evinced by what took place when my pet was captured. He had seized hold of a submarine diver, at work in the wreck of a sunken steamer off the coast of Florida. The man was a powerful Irishman, who claimed to 'weigh 800 pounds. His size and build fully verified his statoment,and to use his own language, "the baste landed on my shouldors and pinned my arms tight. I felt my armor and myself being cracked into a jelly." It seems he was just about being brought to the surfaco, else the monster would have killed him, for he was suffering so from the terrible embrace that he could move no part of himself. When dragged upon the raft from which he had descended, and finally released, ho had fainted. The men on the raft seized the fish by ono of its wriggling arms and tried to pull it off, but could not break the power of a single one of its suckers. The fish was only removed by being dealt a heavy blow across the sack containing the stomach. This sack stood stiffly up above the eyes, while the eyes stood out like lobsters eyes and gleamed like fire. The monster is, all In all, one of the most frightful apparitions it could bo the falo of a man to meet. It ful fils In every particular the horrible features attributed to it iu Victor Hugo's " Toilers of the Sea." Notwithstanding the sever ity with which the able Frenchman has been criticised for " creating a nondescript with his weird imaginations," the truth must be granted that this 1 ' nondescript" has an actual existance, as is evidenced by the specimens in Brighton and Hamburg as well as my own. Yellow Fever. Report from Memphis on the 24th inst., says : The noon mortuary report for the post twenty-four hours shows twenty-four deaths from yellow fever. There was a heavy frost lost night, and ice formed a quarter of an inch thick. A yellow fever nurse gave carbolic acid to a patient yester day by mistake, which caused death in a few minutes. Another nurse attempted to outrage the wife of a patient in his charge. A magistrate was summoned to a residence in the city yesterday to' marry a couple, and when he arrived there found another magistrate holding an inquest over a mem ber of the family who had died suddenly. The marriage was postponed. Out of fifty five thousand Inhabitants only about ton thousand remain. Of these more than one third are now sick. Two thousand newly made widows and orphans are dependent on charity, and even though the scourge were to cease at once, those people must be assisted during the coming winter. The Relief Association are without funds, and unless substantial aid is furnished, the poor and sick must die of hunger and want. Not only money, but clothing, blankets food and fuel are asked for, that the hundreds of plague-stricken and destitute families mny be nourished and kept from starvation. A Terrible Accident In Iowa. Very sad and heart-Bickening, indeed, was the accident reported a few days ago as having occurred in Hardin county, Iowa. The father of the family left home iu the evening to attend a political meeting, but happening to look back after he had gone perhaps a mile, discovered his house was In flames. He returned as rapidly as possi ble, but on nearing the burning tenement he found the bodies of bis two little chil dren, near the path, burned to a crisp. The mother had gone back into the house for the purpose, doubtless, of saving some of its contents,and had also perished. The origin of the fire is not known ; but it is set down as a " kerosene accident." It is sup posed that a lamp exploded and instanta neously enveloped the house in flames, and that the mother, after carrying out the children, who were dead or dying, returned only to meet a similar fate. The Com Crop. The Octobor report of the statistics of the Department of Agriculture includes a digest of returns from counties producing a large proportion of the corn crop of the United States. It is not tho flual report upon quantity compared with last year's crop, but the last report of tho season on condition. The average is 84, or ,16 per cent, below the abnormal crop. The Oc tober average of last year was 108, or 8 per cent, above. The crop of last year was estimated at ten hundred and ninety-two millions of bushels. Iu view of the de crease of four per cent, in area, the Indicat ed reduction is above twenty-three per cent., or two hundred and fifty millions of bushels. The only States returning aver age conditions are Georgia, Floridu, Arkansas, California and Oregon. tW Joseph C. Cloud, oarsman, who started from Philadelphia some three- months since to row to New Orleans by ca nals and rivers, died on last Tuesday a week five miles below Plague Mine. Cloud was found in bis boat, in an almost exhausted condition, on Monday, and died the next day. ' nis diary shows he bad been suffer ing with what is termed the "heavy shakes" for some days before bis death. Miscellaneous News Items. , tW George W. Keith, post office clerk of South Boston station, has been arrested for stealing money from registered letters. Milwaukee.Oct. 24.

The lake is supposed to occupy the site of the crater of an ancient volcano. tW General Custer was a listener at Duluth to a lecture on how to save the In dians. He admitted that the lecturer's doctrines were good for the interior of a church, but insisted that a man could not practice them upon tho plains and save his hair. tiTMr. Sam. Hemphill, of Warsaw, Ind., whilo trimming his grape-vines last spring, stuck a small potato on the end of one to keop it from bleeding. Tho potitto sprouted and grew all summer, and sent forth shoots that are neither grape nor po tato vine. tyMrs. McCoole, aged seventy-six years who was found lying dead on the sidewalk in Chelsea, Massachusetts, it is believed, was thrown out of a window by either J. B. McCoole, her son, James II. Hammer, or George H. Noble, or all of them. tW A dispatch from Knoxville, Tenn., announces the arrest of seven more of the Tennessee counterfeiter s, by Colonel Whitcloy's force.

Ho adduces the case of a dying colt that was almost instantly reviv ed by having two fresh eggs administered to it. Perhnps thoso eggs were taken from a mare's nest. t2P" A singular result of the panic is seen in Utah, where an enormous quantity of bullion has been locked up. . Silver, which is ordinarily worth something like a dollar and a quarter per ounce, is now selling at less than seventy cents, and it is not neces sary to add that there Is general depression in mining circles. A stock train on the Chicago and Alton Railroad, ran off the track at Nor mal, Illinois, a few days since, and a ca boose filled with people and two ears of Btock were ditched. Five men were in jured, two very seriously, aud one stock dealer, of Kansas, named Barker, it is fear ed fatally. Twenty head of cattle were kill ed. At a camp-meeting in Lake county Cal., some days ago, a lady under great ex citement, and while shouting and clapping her bands, declared she wanted to die then and there. Her wish was granted, for she almost instantly fell back, and died in a few minutes. The excitement was more than her delicate nature could bear. 13? A crazy man, supposed to be Mich ael Grouinger, of Bonduel, Shawano co., Wis., has been found in the woods near Green Bay.

It is feared that the foundations of the City Hall are injured. tW A collision between two passenger trains occurred ou a bridge below Tivoli, on the Hudson River railroad, on Monday night of last week. It appears that the ksignal light was extinguished by the wind, and each engineer was ignorant of the presence of the other near the bridge. Both trains consequently went on and when near the centre collided. Fortunately they were running slowly, and although the shock startled the passengers, none of the Icars left the track. The headlights of both engines and part of the machinery were demolished. - Traffic- was delayed for several hours. Terrible Prairie Fire.

A WORD TO WORKING PEOPLE OF BOTH SEXES. Mechanics, artisans, factory hands, and people who labor for a living, find It difficult If not impossible to keep hands free from stain. Hand Bapolio will not only re move every particle of stain, and what is call ed " grained In dirt," but It will also keep the skin toft and pliable, rendering the muscular action s quick and easy as is the case with those who do not perform hand labor.

The usual remedy is to take some stimulant, the ef fect of which Is the same as giving a tired borse tbe whip instead of oats. The true way is to fortify tbe system with a permanent tonlo like the Peruvlau Syrup, (a protoxide of Iron,) which gives strength sod vigor to (as whole system.
