Ex-PnKSiDEST Fillmore, diod at Bufla flo, on Monday evening of last week. lllis funeral took place on Thursday.

The public buildings in Washington were ordered to be draped in mourning, and business was suspended on .the day of the funeral. Senator Bomseu died at Washington, "Oil Wednesday last, ut about three o'clock, After a very short illness. Mr. Bumner was probably better known throughout the nation than any other Senator. Though miany disagreed with him politically, there wevcr were any who dared charge him with having used his official position to advance the pecuniary interests, either of himself or his friends, and in these days of general peculation this is a rnro compliment. On the announcement of the sad event both Houses of Congress adjourned. The Leg islatures of the various States which were in session at tho time, also adjourned. In lioston, flags were placed at half mast, and arrangements wero mado by tho city au thorities to havo the body lay in state at Fanueil Hall. Jliirrlsbiirg Correspondence. IIariusbuiiu, March 14th, 1874. This week the temperance poople have given somo intimations that they do not iuteud to allow the liquor advocates to have things all their own way. On Wed nesday evening the committee on vice and immorality, held a meeting iu the hall of the House, to hear arguments in favor of tho repeal of tho Local Option laws. Several prominent lawyers had boeu hired to pre sent the matter in the most favorable light for the liquor interests. But the temper ance advocates were also present at that meeting, and the ladies turned out iu strong force. ' The effect of their presence on the speakers was very evident, as it ap peared to take them entirely by surprise. One of the speakers showed his annoyance by complaining that tho ev ident intention of the temperance people, was to awe the speakers by the unusual attendance of so many ladies. The speakers, however, did as well as could be exacted in bo bad a cauRe, but were apparently dissatisfied with their own success. No speeches were made by 'the advocates of Local Option, but when the other party had concluded their arguments, ltev. D. A. Laforty arose aud requested all who were opposed to the re peal of the Local Option law to join in singing "Praise God from whom all bless ings How." The nearly unanimous response of the crowd present to this request, show that the speeches had not had a dispiriting c fleet on temperance people, aud gave a scene long to be remembered. - The House on Wednesday, showed a dis position to economize by voting to reduce the salary of members of the Board of J'ublio Charities, from 93000 to $2000, but then you know, the members of the Legis lature, are not serving on that board. The Committee to which was referred the advertising bills for the New Constitu tion, made a report which appears to be acceptable aud there is a chance now that bills will soon be . paid. Under this bill which passed flint reading, no weekly pa- iier can get over $000, aud no daily over 1,200. Both Houses adjourned ou Wednosday afternoon, on the announcement of the death of Senator Sumner. The- committee appointed to ascertain what changes will be necessary to accom modate the enlarged Benate and House, report that a change of desks will make uilicient increase of room in the Senate Chamber, and that a chance of desks and a one story extension to the Hall of licp resontatives, which will resemble a portico. will be all that will be required to comfort ably seat the 201 meniliers. Tho estimated cost is not to exceed 120,500. The House bas mado some changes in the Judicial apportionment, but not as many as was thought would be made if the work ot cuanging was once commoncea. The Legislative apportionment bill bas been before the Benate this week, aud aas been vigorously opposed by the Democrats, who declare their rights are grossly viola ted by the presout arrangement. There is considerable truth in their charges, I roust admit, but then politicians will work for the interests of their own party, uud prob ably if the Democrats had the majority, they would pass a bill fully as unjust. The bill bas passed a second reading by a strict party vote, but may yet be improved by amendments. The House appears to have tired of hold ing Saturday and Monday sessions with a slim House, and adjourned yesterday until Tuesday morning. So far the work done this winter by the Legislature Is a disap pointment to the people, both as regards quantity and quality, aud many members rto not hesitate to express their chagriu at the progress made. Quid Nunc. Death of the &4O,C0O Cow. The eighth Duchess of Geneva, the noted high-priced short-horn cow of tho lato sate at New York Mills, Is dead. It will be remembered that we published her likeness, with a short history of her breed ing and produce, in an issue a few weeks since. The cow was due to calve about a week ago, but owing to a mal presentation of tho footus she suffered greatly, and fi nally delivered her calf dead. It was at the time thought that she would recover and still prove of great value to her spirit ed owner, but fover set in, and despite the best medical assistance she diod a few days after. Although this oow was bid oft at Mr. Campbell's sale for $40, COO by the agent of Mr. R. Paviu Davics of Glouces. tershire, England, it was through iuadver- tence on his part, as in tho excitoment of tho moment he lost sight of the relative values of the currencies of the two coun tries, and bid more than he supposed. In view of this fact she was, by request of Mr. Davics, resold for his account to our own countryman, Col. Lewis G. Morris, of Fordham, N. Y., for $30,000, tho same price that was paid for her daughter, 1st Duchess of Onoida, at the sale mentioned, tho purchaser being Lord Skilmcrsdale of England. This loss to Col. Morris will bo a matter of regret. to Short-horn breeders throughout the country. In a financial point of view it is, of course, a severe one, but wo apprehend that the disappointment, in another sense, will be felt much more keenly by the spirited and onthusiastio breeders upon whom it directly falls. The plans and expectations frustrated by the inopportune loss of the cow cannot bo read ily righted, though the price were again willingly forthcoming for her duplicate. In full appreciation of this fact, wo extend to Col. Morris our fullest sympathies mid re grets. Another Kaunas Tragedy. A special despatch from Topeka, Kan., gives an account of a horrible- murder there ou Thursday night, which was not, however, discovered until Saturday eve ning. It nppcars that Daniel Karris, the keeper of a grocery on Sixth avenue, had been missing for two days. Suspicion of foul play being aroused, Bcveral officers visited the store on Saturday afternoon and found Frank Olds and his son Fred iu pos session. On being closely questioned they told contradictory stories and were arrested. The premises were searched, and the dead body of Farris was found under a heap of potatoes in tho cellar with a bullet hole through bis head and his throat cut. An inquest was held on Monday, and the facts elicited lead to the belief that Fred. Olds committed the murder, though the evi dence againBt him is not yet positive. Frank Olds, the father, drives an express wagon. His son Fred is a wild, ime Doy. Farris came from Indianapolis about a year ago. Ho leaves two children in that city. His wife died some time ago. Great ex citement prevails among all classes of citi zens, nothing of so atrocious a character having occurred in Kansas since the Ben der murders. Singular Mall Matter. The Elmira Advertiser of recent date says : " When the mail agent going norm ob the train yesterday morning throw the Dundee mail-bag off at Starkey, something Inside exploded, and smoke was seen to come out of the bag. On examination it was found that some infernal machine in the shape of a small cannon had been placed in tho bag, and so arranged that a slight jar would set it off. No one was hurt. The agent took it in charge for Special Agent McDanolds to investigate. And Special Agent McDanolds did inves tigate it. It is a miniature brass mortar, with a spring trigger, into which fits close ly a rubber ball. Ic is a toy called parlor artillery, but must be a curious plaything, as it explodes with a sound like a rifle. It bad been boxed up duly stamped, and sent through tho mail loaded. The box in which it had been placed was torn to shreds, though the address 'Davis Dim mock, Dundee, N. Y., could bo mado out. It might have burned up the mail-bag had it not been fortunately discovered." Twenty-five Feet of Suow. San Francisco, March 0.

Marcus Chap man, alias Charles Carpenter, the bank forger, and one Jack Blilpman, a pick pocket hailing from Easton, Pennsylvania, confined in our jail, made their escape last night by unlocking their door with false keys and scaling the walls with ropes mado from their bed clothing. It la supposed they had accomplices outside to aid them in escaping. The sheriff of Bucks county offers a reward of $250 for their return. - Recent Elections. The election in Camden, N. J., last week resulted in the choice of John II. Jones, Democrat, for Mayor, by 41 majority. The Republicans elect the Recorder by 80 ma jority, and the Democrats the Receiver of Taxes by 441 majority. The Democrats oloct five of the eight Councilmen. This is the first timo the Democrats have boeu successful in fourteen years. 1 The New Hampshire election is very close. Neither party can as yet claim a majority in the legislature. For governor there was no election by tho people, though the Democratic candidate came within about 300 votes of having a majority over his two competitors. - .. . Disaster at Son. Tho steamer Pennsylvania from Liverpool reports she took a violent hurricane on the 27th ult., at midnight. Tho sea carried away tho bridge on which were Captain Bradburn and the first and second officers and two sailors, and they wero all woshed overboard and lost. Tho fourth officer had his leg broken.

While Mrs. Carpenter, a widow, living on the coiner of Fifth and Kowa streets, in Leavenworth, Kansas, was at work in her kitchen one day last week, John White, of tho Fifth Infantry band, entered the room, locked the door, and mado improper advances to her. She ordered him to leave the premises, but he refused to go, and she then threatened to shoot him, to which be replied, "Shoot and be damned." Whereupon she went into an adjoining room, returned with a pistol, and shot him through the head. A Coronor's jury pro nounced the killing justifiable. The William-sport Crnsndcrs.
