Tuesday, March 10, 1874, "-K- . .V.J-sie'WWW-.f '" ' Otm TitAUKB are returned to John II aiieibley, esq., for SinuU's Hand Cook and other legislative documents. .Did ever a legislative bfitly remain in session, as long as Congress has this torm, and make such a beggarly show of work ? So far scarcely any thing worth mention lug has been done, and yet the nation is suffering for legislation on many important matters. Ia the advertising of legal, and other tfmblic notices done solely for tho benefit of the newspapers, or for the information of 'the people ? If for the information of the publie, would not a proper regard to the publio interest demand that Buch notices should be publish ed where they would reach tho most readers, provided, the sum charged for publication was no greater? Why should the $ame sum be paid to roach 8 or 4 hundred subscribers, as would arry it to 1500? Do not publie officials who neglect to et as much service as possible for the sum paid, violate their official oaths, by thus squandering the publio money? Our Ilarribburg correspondent, two weeks since refered to tho Senator from his district in such a manner as to load some persons to suppose that Mr. Dill had neglected the interests of this county in the formation of the J udicial districts. Know ing as we do the care that our Senator takes to protect the interests of his con alituonts generally, we inquired into this mattor, and find that in this case as in all others, Mr. Dill has not only faithfully, but ably advocated the interests of Perry county. We are glad to see that our cor respondent has learned of his error and corrected his former report. , "Peoples' Freight Sailroad." This Rail lioad company by their Pres ident, Wm. B. Burr, last week presented petitions praying the court to appoint viowers to assess damages on property, in Spring twp., Perry co., through which they desiio to construct the road bed. The petitions not bearing a corporate seal, which is essential to every corporate body, the question was raised by counsel for prop erty owners, as to who "The Peoples' Freight R. R, Co." was. The court therefore granted a rule to show cause why viewers should not be appointed, with notico to, those through whose property they desire right of way, that it may be properly shown by what authority tho com pany is acting and who are the responsible managers. In Missouri and Ohio, bills have been in troduced in the legislatures for the publi cation of a series of class books for general use in the public schools, the copyright of which is to be owned by the state, and the price reduced to a minimum by giving the printing to the lowest bidder. It is in tended by this legislation to do away with the serious evil resulting from constant changes, If a law can. be passed of this kind in this state, without jobbery present or prospective, we think it might result beneficially. , ,, Thore is a law now to prevent changes oftener than once in three years, but we are inclined to think that the law is viola tod in some districts in this county. . Counting lio Wrecks. The financial monsoon that swept so un expectedly over the country last Fall has become historical, and is passing out of men's mind and talk. But it is not well to forget the extent of its ravages, its causes and its lessons. , As to the iirst, the annual circular of Duu, Barlow & Co. 'a Mercantile Agency supplies us with in teresting statistics. , From this it appears that the failures, aud liabilities therefrom, of four successive, years have hitherto been as follows : Year. H7U,... J71.... 1T2,... im,... Failures. .... 3..V.1 .... .... 4.li! .... 6.1W ' Liabilities, t HM,242,0H 121,Utt,IMiO iUMW.OUO That looks pretty badly for the country, litit If the comparison ia confined to New York, the case is still worse, via : .

The House has no w decided what the number of these retainers and their salaries shall be, and how liberal they are too, both in numbers and pay, the number for the Senate being 45 and for the House 64, at an expense of $75,000 per annum. In this connection I will refer to a bill introduced by Mr. Sheibley, of your dis trict, regulating fees and increasing tho pay of county oflicers. One portion of this bin, mat whltli regulates tees, is all right, but what need is thore of increasing salar ies of Commissioner, when applicants for me oiuce are so plenty at the present rate ? What private individual will insist on nav. ine $3 per dav for men to nerform work fur him when plenty of good men are pleading for the place at half the price ? When our Legislators learn to conduct the public uiiHiness on tne same principles they will bring to play in the conduct of their private affairs, there will be some healthy changes made. But it is astonishing how liberal officials aro, when the money they vote docs not come fiom the 'individual pocket. A bill has been iutroduced in tho Senate which will have the effect to eutdown some of the perquisites of the Prothonotaries and Kegisterr, in the larger counties, by fixing the salary at $2000, and giving the State half of the foes collected in excoss of that amount. The bill fixing the salaries of the Judges throughout the State has passed the House, aud leaves tho pay of all except the Judges in Philadelphia and Allegheny, the same as at present, $4,000 per year. Orphan's Court Judges are to receive $3,500. The bill has to go back to the Senate for con currence. The judicial Apportionment bill has readied the House, where it is meeting with much opposition and many changes are proposed. The conflict of opinion is so great that very likely no changes will be mnae, as it will be impossible to please all. And just bore it will be proper for me to correct a statement made in a former letter regarding Senator Dill. From what I have since learned, I find that instead of neglect ing the interests of Perry county, that he has earnestly worked to harmonizo the interests of tho whole district, and that probably no district in the State has a more efficient Senator, or one more anxious to faithfully serve his constituents. - A Senatorial apportionment bill has been reported in tho Senate, dividing tho State into ou districts, ana in tins arrangement Perry and Franklin are coupled together as the $3rd district. As it is probable some changes will be made, I will not send the entire list until the bill is finally passed. As at present arranged, the apportionment is a complete muddle, cutting un counties and cities, so that it makes a mix as remark able as a boarding-house hash. The special committee on the "Bauking Swindle" have maae a report,wmcu snows that Mr. Kiclit myer, postmaster to the Senate was also mixed up in the fraud, and that tho charges against Dimmick aud Krciter, are sustain ed by the evidence. The report of the committee was accepted and the committee discharged. The Cassville investigating committee report that they have exhausted the appro priation of $1,000 and ask moro money, which was granted. The Semite have passed a bill appropria ting $1,000,000 to the Centennial exposi tion. This Centennial business will be found a very high priced whiBtle to the "dear people", before they are done with it.- The bill authorizing the payment of the papers for advertising the New Constitu tion, hangs fire wonderfully, and the mat ter has now been referred to a special com mittee of live. No doubt a portion of this delay is due to the swindling charges made by a few of the papers. The only proper way to pay this bill, as all other bills for publio printing is to base the price, on the number of the circulation. A person set ting circulars printed does not expect to pay as much for 000, as he would for 25,00 and why should not this same principle be carried into all publio printing? i u To-day neither branch of the Legislature s in session, having adjourned over until Monday. , , QuidNonc. Mild Winters. . This has been an uuusual mild winter, but the old weather reports show that many have boon still more unseasonable. "In 1173 the temperature was so high that leaves came put on the trees in Jan uary, and birds hatched their broods in February. In 1280 the Wiuter was equally j mild, and the maidens of Cologne wore wreathes of violets and corn flowers at Christmas and on Twelfth Day. In 1431 the trees flowered in the month of March and the viues in the month of April. Cher ries ripened in the same month, and grapes appeared in May. In 1572 the trees were covered with leaves in the month' of January, and the birds hatched young in February, as in 1173 ; in 1D8S the same thing was repeated, and it is added that the corn was in ear at Easter. There was in France neither snow nor frost throughout the Winters of 1588, 1607, 1609, 1617 and 1650 ; finally, in 1603, even In the north of Germany, the stoves were not lighted and trees flowered in February. Coming down to later dates, the Winter of 1846 '47, when it thundered in Pails on the 28th of January, and that of 1866, the year of the great Inundation of the Seine, may be men tioned as exceptionally mild." " This is a fair specimen of the manner in which publio officials study 1 the publio interests : " ' '" ' A clerk in the Mara Island Navy Yard, California, had the rashness to tell the commandant how $10,000 could be saved in purchasing supplies for bis departments The commandant immediately began to retrench by dlcpensiug with the services bf that clerk, i Murder and Suicide. , At seven-thirty a. m..

Burning Coat Mine at Wilkcsbarre. Wilkcsbarre, March 4. Tho miners who have been for the last two months fighting the fire at the Empiro Mine, have ceased work, and this afternoon a most extonsivo cave-in of the mine occurred, exceeding in extent tho fall of the Baltimore Mine a short time since. Great consternation pre vails in the neighborhood, and families are preparing to leave. The fire has now free scope, and threatens to ruin utterly one of tue most valuable possessions of the newly formed Wilkcsbarre and Lehigh Coal Com pany.

Leeds Mercury. tSf" Kingston, N. Y., was startled re cently by a singular discovery made by some workmen, They were repairing a building known as the Woolsey House, situated in the lower part of the town, and in taking down the chimney a skeloton was discovered wedged in the flue. It was pronounced by the physicians who examin ed it to be the skeleton of a woman, ap parently about eighteen years of age, and it hod probably been in the place where it was was discovered about a year.

New Orleans, March 2. Trial of pris oners engaged iu the Colfax massacre in April last is nrocrressinir. The testimony against the parties charged is fearfully conclusive.

The effect of the Paiu-Killer upon the patient, when taken internally in i cases of Congh, Cold, Bowel Compluiut, Chol era, Dysentery, and other affections of the sys tem, has been truly wonderful, and has won for It a name among medical preparations that can never be forgotten.
