4 Stye mc0, New Bloomftcttr, $3a. fjlloomficlir (jw5 NEW BLOOMFIELD, PENN'A. Tuesrlnt, February 17, 1874. Compare tlio vmbltslior of a nowspnpor, who lms to go nil around the country to collect Iiis pay, to a farmer who pells liis wheat on credit, and not mora than a bushel to any person. If any farmer will try the experiment of distributing the proceeds of liis labor over two or three counties, with an additional ono to two or three distant States, for one year wo will guarantee that he will never, after that year'B experi ence, ask a publisher to supply him with a paper a year or two without the pay for it. Dissolved Their Pastoral Relations. A short time ago Dr. Strong, pastor of the Presbyterian church on Third nnd I'ine .streets, requested his congregation to unite with him in nil application to the presby tery to be dissolved from his ministerial re lations with the congregation on account of impaired health. A commissioner was appointed to represent the congregation at tho meeting of the presbytery, which was held in tho church last week. After hear ing the statements of llcv. Strong and the commissioner tho presbytery granted the request. Tho pastoral relations of Rev. A. I). Mitchell, of thoPaxton church, a few miles east of this city, were also dissolved by the presbytery. Patriot. Hnrrlsburg Correspondence. IIahiiisiiuro, Feb. 14tli, 1874. Tho only hill passed in the Legislature this week, of any general interest was a supplement to the election law. Tho two first sections aro merely explanatory but the third section and tho one that is really important, is as follows : " In all elections hereafter tho certificate of naturalization, if genuino, shall be con clusive evidence of the facts mentioned therein ; and when the person offering to vote claims the right on tho payment of tax, the receipt for such tax, if signed by the proper otliccr, shall be tho evidence thereof; if such person does not produce such receipt then the payment of such tax may be proved by the oath of such person or other evidence stating when, whore and to whom such tax was paid." This supplement was passed by a strictly party vote which is evidence that the law is to bo used to further party ends, and proof that it should not have beon passed at all. It is a sign of our weakness as a yarty when we rely upon such means for aid, and we may see the time when we would wish this bill had not been passed. The judiciary apportionment meets with very decided opposition, and Senator Wal lace has taken up the cause of Perry, and in a forcible speech protested against the attaching of that county to Cumberland. Tho foars that some have, that in case of such an arrangement, the attached county lias no vote when a judgo is to be eleoted, causes much of the opposition ; but many Senators hold that such is not the case and that the voters of both counties have equal right to vote forjudge. The discussion on the salary of Judges has occupied considerable time this week, and the proposed bill has been amended somewhat but there is still chance for further amendments. A bill has been introduced in the Senate exempting a homestead from levy andsale to the amount of $000,00, and sundry arti cles of personal property bosidos, and vesting the title to the property in the family of the debtor. Petitions for and against the repeal of the local option law, continue to arrive, though so far petitions for repeal are the most numerous. A bill to provide for pay ment of the bills for advertising the Mew Constitution continues to furnish a theme for discuxsiou and the question it yet un decided. Both houses have adjourned until Thursday next. Quid Nunc. An Illicit Distillery Destroyed. New York, February 11. The reveuue ofllcers, with government troops, raided on an illicit distillery on Barren Island last night. They found a number of workmen, who all denied being owners of the concern; also, 45 barrels of ilrst-class whisky which wore seized. A schooner lying close at hand was found to contain several hogs heads of molasses. The vossol'and cargoes were seized. Fifty thousand gallons of mash were spilled into the sea, and tubs destroyed. The machinery, which was in good working order, was removed to Fort Hamilton, and the building fired and do Mtroyed. tlP One evening last week Mrs. Simons, of Now York, beard footsteps In oue of the lied rooms on the second floor. Being alone, Mrs. Simons armed herself with a poker and quietly entered the bathroom. .Seeing something moving in the dark she attempted to take hold of it, and to her astonishment found herself in the arms of a burglar. With remarkable presence of mind she dealt him a stunning blow with the poker, and the man fell at ber feet. After punishing him severely she threw him Itodtly over the balusters. Then she fniut oj, but a few moments afterward her hus band returned, and learning the faot re potted the cane to the police. Ml Tellce Mistakes. A New York paper gives the following aceoust of two sad mistakes made by the police authorities of London, and New York: "One Mrs. Amy Mead, described as "a respectable widow," with the one failing of too decided an inclination for convivi ality, was so unlucky as to be locked up in the Tower street police station, Lambeth, a few nights before Christmas, on a charge of drunkenness. She was put in a cell with two women arrested for the samo ofl'enso. The In spector making his rounds not long after had his attention attracted by the attitude of the prisoner Mead, who was sitting crouching in a corner of the cell, her face buried in her hands. Iuquiry revealed the fact that she had beon most brutally as saulted by hor two companions, her nose and ears bitten through as though by a dog, a piece of one of her lips bitten com pletely out, and the whole shapo of ono jaw altered. In addition to these kind attentions, tho two viragos had amused themselves by knocking her down aud performing a sort of war-dance on hor body. Tho reader will be glad to loarn that the brutal assail ants were sentenced to imprisonment at hard labor for terms of six and twelve months. Tho jury at tho samo time uttered a vigorous remonstrance against tho cruelty of herding respectable people, guilty at most of an imprudence, with tho vilest out casts. Wo do not remember when anything quito so atrocious has disgraced a New York polico station. Yet there can bo no doubt that tho callous recklessness of the Police iu dealing with this class of offences frequently leads to results quite as distress ing, if not quito so revolting. Tho case of Mr. French is an instance in point, and, it is greatly to bo feared, only one of many. This gentleman, a merchant of wealth and estimation, and an officer high in rank in tho Masonic Order, was waylaid in the streets of New York while on a visit, rob bed of everything that could serve to iden tify him, and left to be picked up, uncon scious, by tho police. The sagacity which sets down as drunk and disorderly every man who is unablo to give an account of himself was not here at fault, and tho poor man, suffering from concussion of the brain, was flung into a damp coll, to receive from that exposure the doath-blow which tho hand of the assassin had failed to make sure. Next morning tho police became aware of their blunder, nnd hustled their victim off to the hospital, where soon after he died, his efforts to prove his idontity being laughed at alike by the police and the doc tors. Tho mere accident of his social im portance prevented his caso from settling into that oblivion which no doubt shrouds scores of other instances of police incompe tency and heartlcssness. A Singer not Appreciated. A rather singular lawsuit has taken place in North Carolina. It grew out of an effort to stop a good man who couldn't sing from making the attempt in church. Tho name of the unfortunate lover of song is William Linkhaw, indicted for misde meanor, and tried before Itussall, Judge, at Kobeson Superior Court. Defendant was indicted for disturbing a religious congre gation. The evidence, as detailed by sev eral witnesses, was substantially this : Defendant is a member of the Methodist Church. He sings in such a way as to dis turb the congregation. At the end of each verse his voice is heard after the other singers have ceased. One of tho witnesses being requostod to describe defendant's singing imitated it by singing a verse in the voice and manner of defendant, which " produced a burst of prolonged and Irre sistible laughter convulsing alike the spec tators, the bar, the jury, and the Court." The defendant is reported to be a strict member of the church (Methodist), and a man of the most exemplary deportment. It was not contended by the State upon the evidence that he had any Intention or pur pose to disturb the congregation, but on the contrary, it was admitted that he was conscientiously taking part In the religious services. There was a verdict of guilty, judgment, and au appeal by the defendant. "Come-Along." At the Criminal Court on yesterday af ternoon an old negro woman of herculean proportions was waiting ia the Sheriffs of fice as a witness in the case against Mike Jones, and, at the proper time, Bailiff Prob ston was sent down to fetch her up. On being ordered up stairs she expressed a wish to be unattended by the Bailiff, who, how ever, insisted gallantly on escorting her. " Well," said the old amazon " if you must come with me, come along," and suiting the action to the word she caught the Bail- iff In her muscular arms, and despite his struggles carriod him out of the Sheriffs of fice into Clark street, and thence into the Criminal Court, where she deposited her load, much to the amusement of Court, jury, bailiffs, and spectators. " Chicago Tribune." tST The wife of Iiev. Mr. Banner died butt week, of trichina) after a sickness of twenty-five day. This is the second death out of nine persons who have beon attacked by the disease from eating diseased pork. A Wonderful Cave. In the range of mountains in Western North Carolina, known as the "Fork Hango," a most singular phenomenon ex ists. It Is a " breathing cave." In the summer months a current of air comes from it so strongly that a person can't walk against it, while iu tho winter the suction is just as groat. The cool air from the mountain in the summer is folt for milos.iu a direct line from the mouth of the cave. At times a most unpleasant odor is emitted upon tho current from dead carcasses of animals sucked in and killed by the vio lence The loss of cattle and stock in that section in winter is accounted for iu this way ; They range too near tho mouth of the cave, and the current carries them in. At times, when the change from Inhalation to oxhalation begins, the air is filled with various hairs of animals; not unfrequently bones and wholo carcassess aro found miles from the place. The air has bocn known to change materially during exhalation, from quite cool to unpleasantly hot, with ering vegotation within reach, and accom panied by a terrible roaring, gurglin sound, as a pot boiling. It is unaccounted for by scientific men who have examined it, though no exploration can take place. It is feared by many that a volcanic erup tion may break forth thore some time. A Fortune Turning on a Second of Time. A few days ago Philip Stiuor, the oldost child of the late Jacob Stiner by his first wife, filed a petition for letters of adminis tration on tho cstato of his sisters Deborah, and last week a liko petition was filed by his half sister Florence Mr. Stiner willed that all his estate, on the death of his wid ow, should fall to their threo youngost children, Deborah, Florence and Joseph Jacob ; and provided that if cither of tho threo should die without issue before their father, the share of that ono should go to the other two. . If tho neighbors of that burning houso can prove that Deborah was seen alive for but one moment after Mr. Stiner throw himself from tho parapet, then hor estate will go to the eight brothers and sisters equally. In a Fix. At six o'clock on Monday morning a man named Thomas Brannan was found by ono of the keepers of the Hudson county peni tentiary, at Snake Hill, hanging by his hands to tho iron bars which form the grat ing of the windows in the building. Ho had no clothing on him but an undershirt, a pair of drawers, nnd a stocking on one foot. The keeper tried to take him down, but found that the man's hands were frozen fast to tho bars, and he. was nnable to re move him without assistance. With the aid of some of the other keepers Brannan was removed from his terrible position and carriod inside. His legs, arms, hands and feet were found to be frozen. He was crazed with typhoid fever, and had traveled four miles. A One Cent Conductor. Several evenings since an individual en tered the evening train at Reading for Phil adelphia. On the Conductor taking up tickets the man had none, and after empty ing out all his pockets he managed to raise the amount of his fare, including the addi tional twenty-five cent check, within one cent. The puncher of pasteboards, how ever, insisted on that single nickle being forthcoming or he would be compelled to stop the train and put hire out. ' A gentle man passenger kindly loaned the penniless traveler the desired farthing, and tho train sped on. Strictly Moral till 12 o'clock. A few days since an Alexandria, Va., paper refered to the approaching ball of the Pioneer Club (oolored) of that city and adverted to the announcement on the programme that the ball would be "strictly moral until 12 o'clock." One of the com mittee ol arraugemeuls baa written to th editor explaining as follows : " What w meant by ' strictly moral' until 13 o'clock was that there would be no dancing al lowed before that hour, so that 'members of churches' may enjoy themselves prome nading." Terrible Affiletloa. A dispatch says the village of Sooth Windham, on the line of tho New London and Northern Railroad, la terrible afUicted with small pox, and It Is reported every family in the village has one or more cases. Several deaths have occurred, and even the village physician has the dhu.aso. Nnrses are needed ; every business place Is dosed.

A young man named Frost, living at the village of Chrystal in Michigan became en amored of a Mrs. Harney a short time ago aud the ether nlgbt shot the husband, who claimed the privilege of going home from a party with bis own wife Inflicting a serious wound. A man does not know any more whose consent he must gain before he pays these little attentions to his partner which were once so common. Cincinnati, February 9.

The police had followed him, and used all efforts to extricate him, but failed, and, as a last resort, had to push him through the trestles.
