The Sai,art Bill, as it passed both liouses of Congress, has been approved, and tbe President still holds on to the extra $25,000 a year. The Texan difficulty has been amicably adjusted. The old officers finding they could get no help from tho National gov crnmcnt have retired, giving t he control of affairs to the newly clcctod State officers. The Pkksidekt has sent in the name of Morrison R. Waito, of Ohio, for Chief Justice of the United States. This was another of the surprises the President is so fond of giving in his appointments. The nomination was referred to tho Judiciary committee, and was subsequently unani mously confirmed. We bave not yet beard bow the eleven widows who were recently assigned to eleven widowers by lot in the town of Hol land, Wis., like their new husbands. The husbands themselves are not expected to express any opinion of their married bliss, for it is to be supposed that they are kept in far too Btrict discipline for that. It is bardly probable that each widow was per fectly contented with her prize, and it would be only fair to pormit them to make such amicable exchanges as would satisfy all concerned. A general meeting of the creditors of Jay Cook & Co., was held in Philadelphia on Thursday of last week to consider tbe statements of tho firm. Over 2,000 persons were present. The exhibits show total assets, exclusive of propeitics not yet ap praised of $5,058,835.31, and the total lia bilities $11,134,878.94, from which is de ducted debts, &o., by creditors, second and separate liabilities, &c, reducing the total liabilities to the sum of $8,481,040.05. It was unanimously decided to take the estate out of bankruptcy, and wind it up by a trustee and a committee of creditors. Mr. Edwin M. Lewis, President of the Farmers and Mechanics' National Bank of Philadelphia, was selected as trustee. Time to TJnloai General Grant is reported to bave said on Friday last to some prominent Republicans wbo called upon him at tbe White House : " I begin to think it time for the Republi can party to unload. There has been too much dead weight carried by it. The suc cess of our arms during the Rebellion, and the confidence that tbe Republican party was st"ong enough to bold up any burden bave imposed all tbe disaffection in the Gulf State on ' tbe administration. I am tired of this nonsense. Let Louisiana take care of herself as Texas will bave to do. I don't want any quarrel about Mississippi State matters to be referred to me. The nursing of monstrosities has aearly ex hausted the life of the party. I am done with them, and they will have to take care of themselves." TheRe words from such a peaker have a deep significance. Coal Mine on Fire. ' A WilkesBarre correspondent of the New York Timet writes a follows : " The scene of the burning mine on tho outskirts of .this city has been visited by your correspondent, wbo penetrated the Kidder Slope, where tbe lire is now raging with almost ungovernable fury, fully two acres of solid coal being ia flames. The miners, at peril of their lives, are endeav oring to subdue tho fire, and several men have . been prostrated from effects of the sulphurous gases generated by the fire Last . night, James Griffiths and Michael Gallagher, two courageous miners, while attempting to penetrate to the area of the fire, were overcome and can led out of the wine Insensible. , Griffiths , has partially recovered, but Gallagher remains in a pre carious condition. The company'! physi cian is daily at the . miaea to attend to In jured miners. Tbe citizens r apprehen sive that an explosion of the mine, a SB feet vein, which extends some distance under this city, may ocour." . "ll 111 Iliac -' j -' ' Harrlsbnrg Correspondence. IlAniusnuna, Jan. 25th, 1874. There has but little work been done in either House this week. When I say but little work has been done, I mean but littlo progress has been made, as it seems to bo the intention of both Houses to proceed very carefully. The Senate on Tuesday took up the election bill and made some amendments to satisfy the minority, and n Wednesday the bill as amended passed the Senate by a vote of 20 ayes to 1 nay ; the lone Individual being Mr. Rowland, wbo objected to a clause he thought offen sive to the naturalized voters. The bill as passed does away with tbe board of Return Judges and provides for a triplicate return to be kept in tho possession of the minority election inspector until presented in court. Senator Rutan has introduced a bill fix. ing the salary of members of the legisla ture at $1,000 for the regular session and 15 cents mileago, and $10 per day and tho same mileage for adjourned sessions. The attempt to saddlo tbe State with the usual number of copies of Purdon's Digest, was defeated on the final vote. Let us hope all the usual " steals" of this kind will meet with the same fato. Yesterday the Senato adjourned until Tuesday next. The House mot on Wednesday at 2 P. M. Among tbe bills presented and passed was one providing that each Prothonotary and Register, shall appoint a deputy to act In case of death or resignation, which deputy shall give bond similar to that demanded of his principal; also a bill regulating fees of Coroners. The election bill from the Senate was reported from the House com mittee, and will bo somewhat amended bo- fore it passes. Petitions already begin to pour Into both Houses, asking the repeal of tho " Local Option Law." Tho act providing for the payment of bills for advertising tho Now Constitution has also passed tho Senato. The act which passed the House providing for the advertising In the locality to be affected by such legislation, of all local bills, was amended, so that notice must be published for thirty days and not more than three months preceding the Introduction of such bill. As I write the House is still in session. Quid Nunc. Harribiiuko, Pa. Jan. 23, 1874. Dear Sir. Local politics are now wax ing warm here, as the municipal election approaches. The Republicans bave placed their ticket in the field. John D.Patterson, Esq., being their candidate for Mayor, and David Herr, Esq., the cadidate for City Treasury. Sundry ward politicians of small caliber threaten this ticket with dcfoat,but the honest mass ef the Republicans will give it a hearty support. The gentlemen are both well qualified, honest, and will, in case they are elected, render entire satis faction to tbe people of this City. The Democrats make their nomination to-mor row evening, when I doubt not Mr. D. W. Seiler, will be the nomiuce for Mayor, and M. B. Montgomery for City Treasury. Y bat their chaucos and success are will bo seen in tho future. William K. Verbeke, who once endeavored to fill the office of Mayor is on the track again, but he is only up for defeat. I notice Mr. Sheiblcy, the Representa tive from your county, is one of the quiet, active and working member of the House. Let us hope he will render satisfaction. Since the oponing of the session of the Legislature many candidates have come to the surface for the office of Lieutenant Governor, among whom I here mention, Hon. Thomas E. Cochran, General James L. Selfridge, Hon. Miles Humphreys and others in the Republican ranks. It is also hinted that Hon. Wm. A. Wallace,of Clear field, will be Democratic candidute for tbe same office. It is also rumored that the friends of Hon. John II. Walker, late Pres ident of the Constitutional convention, will press bis claims for tbe Democratic nom ination for Governor. As only one can be elected there is certain to be a number of disappointed Individuals. Hariuson. The t eal Troubles. A social from Wilkesbarre, Pa., says the difficulty between the operators and miners has been brought to a definite settle ment Tbe miners h ave decided to accept tbe reduction, a the National Union is not sufficiently organized, and has not enough funds to support a strike. The : work of organizing tbe National Union will, how ever, be proceeded with, and when sufil. cient money is obtalnod a general suspen sion will take place. Tbe fire at the Empire mine continues ; 800 men are working night auoT'day to sub due the fiames,but H will be a long time be fore Jbey are finally extinguished. ' Horrible Scaffold Scene. San Francisco, January 23. Marshall Morton was hanged at Martinez to-day for the murder of Valentine Eischler, near Antlocb, Contra Costa county, Cal. On the scaffold he said the murdered man' wife instigated the murder. When the drop fell, his head was entirely severed from hi body, which fell lifeless to tbe ground. , . . , , tW Robert Turner, arrested In Wiscon sin for killing his brother, boatl of com mitting nearly forty murders. A Singular Case. , A curious instauoe of oredulity has re cently beon exhibited in Canewaugus, noar the town of Avon, In New York. A young woman of tho name of Bonney, a spiritual ist, living in the house of a Mr. L. O. Pros ton, became impressed with the conviction that her spirit was to leave her body for a time and then return, and she succeeded in convincing several of her friends that this phenomenon would actually occur. She was very sanguine that her expectations would be realized, and predicted that din ing her spirit's absence, certain manifesta tions, such as the ringing of a bell and the shaking of the houso, would take place. Her friends were particularly requested not to handle her remains, and above all not to bury them during the period of suspended animation. She complained of no illness, but on tho 10th of November announced that the time had come for her departure, and after tea took to her bed, where she re mained calmly conversing with several friends until midnight. Mr. and Mrs. Preston saw her several times between that hour nud two o'clock. At tho latter hour Miss Bonney exclaimed, ' Oh, this is glo rious," and ceased to breathe. There was no struggling or evidence of pain. Of course the friends of tho young womon marveled greatly at this fulfilment of her prediction, which gave them faith to believe that in duo time her spirit would return to its earthly habitation. In this expectation, however, they were doomed to disappoint ment. Although Miss Bonney's remains were kept unburied according t'o her de desire from tho 10th of November until Monday last, her spirit has never reap peared. On tho last mentioned day a Cor oner's inquest was held on the lifeless body, which of course was In a state of de composition, and her death was officially established. At the Inquest Miss Bonney's brother-in-law protested against any post mortem examination, avowing bis belief that the spirit would yet return to animato tho decaying body, and several witnesses testified that the bouse bad been violently shaken, as had boon predicted, and that tho clear note of a bell bod been heard on several occasions, although there was no bell ubout the house except the door boll. Tito Buffalo Courier says that so far as the physicians were able to determine the va rious organs of tho body showed that at tho time of death those were in sound nnd healthy condition, and no Cause of death could be found.

Attempted Murder In Maryland. Cbrisfleld, Md., January 19. While two men named Jordan and M'Caun were con versing in a friendly manner at the store at this place on Saturday iiight, the folks who usually congregate there were horri fied at M'Caun drawing a knife, suddenly throwing Jordan's head back and cutting his throat.

A beautiful yaung widow appears in so ciety this winter, whose story is very ro mantic Three years ago one of the belles of Washington was a lovely girl who passed most of the season (her first in socioty)wlth Mrs.. Admiral Lee. Miss Bessie Beale had many admirers, and soon it was known that Mr. Sturtevant, of New York, was the favored suitor, and in the spring the announcement was mado that a brilliant wedding tbe next autumn would seal the happiness of the young lovers. But in July there was a grand denouoraont. Mr. Sturtevant disappeared from a "Sound" boot on its woy to Newport, and tho sup. position was and still is that he accidentally foil ovoi board aud was drowned. Imme diately after tbe announcement, which, of course, caused great consternation, society was Btill furthor amazed by the publication of a sotico of the marriage in June, in Baltimore, of Mr. Sturtevant and Miss Beale. It seems that tho young people, with tho consent of tho bride's mother wbie privutoly married but tho express stip ulation was agreed upon that no public announcement should bo made until the time previously fixed for tho wedding in October, and that tho brido should remain with her parents until that time, and con tinue to receive visits from tho groom just as she hod done heretofore. Tho marriago was duly proven, tho ccrtificato being in regular form, and tho young widow, tho period of whose wifehood was comprised in the brief tiino necessary to perform tho marriago ceremony, succeeded to her late husband's property. This is one of tho romances of real life which is iudced stran ger than fiction Terrlblo Accident. Rutland, Vermont, January 20.

Among tho latter, are Horatio Fields, Wm. Morse, Adam Morse, Harriot Morse, Ella Bessell, Herbert Moon, and many others, not however so severely.

KIND WORDS. The Associated Reformed Presbyterian says For years Perry Davis' Paln-Killor has been known as a most useful family medicine. For pains nnd Belies we know nothing so good as the Pain-Killer. For many Internal diseases It is equally good. We speak from experience, and testify to what we know. No family ought to be without a bottle of Davis' Pain-Killer.; Messrs. Perhy Davis, & Son, Prov., R. I., Genie Although a stranger to yoa I am not to your Invaluable medicine, Paln-Klller. 1 formed Us acquaintance In 1874 and I am on most intimate terms with It still ; my exper ience In Its uso confirms my bollef that there is no medicine equal to Pain-Killer for tbe quick and sure core of Bummer Complaints, Sore Throat, Croup,Druises and cuts. I have used it In all and found a speedy cure In every case. Yours Truly, T. J. GARDINER, M. D. Judglb- by our own experience whoever onco makes a trial or Perry Davis' Pain-Killer, will not fall to recommend it widely as an unequal led liniment, and valuable internal remedy for colds and various other complaints. Every Month. The efficacy of Perry Davis' world-renowned Puin-Kiiler In all diseases of the bowels, even In that terrible scourge, the Aslatia cholera, has been amply attested by the most convinc ing authority. Missionaries in China and India have written home In commendation of Ibis remedy In terms that should carry convic tion to tbe most skeptical, while its popu larity in communities nearer home Is ample proof that tbe virtues claimed for it are and tangible. Among family medicines It stands unrivaled. Boston Courier. The Saturday A'ven'fj Q met it of Boston says: It Is Impossible to flud a place on this broad land where Perry Davis Paiu-Klller Is not known as a most valuable remedy for physical pain. In the country, miles from physician or apothecary, the Pain-Killer is cherished as the exclusive panacea, and it never deceives. " Perrv Davis' Paln-Klller is really a val uable medicament, and, unlike most of the ar ticles of tbe day; Is used by many physicians. It Is particularly desirable In locutions where physicians are not near ; and, by keeping It at hand, families will often save tbe necessity of sending out at midnight for a doctor. A bottle should be kept In every house." ISoiton Trav eller.
