A 4 I)C tmc0, New Blqomftcto, Pa. NEW BLOOMFIELD, PENN'A. Tuesday, May S, Tna Sonate failed to pass tlio finance bill over the veto of the President. The vote stood 84 yeas to 30 nays, lacking nine votes of the required two-thirds. Proposed School-Book Law. ' . From somo school boards, petitions against tho proposed law, havo been for warded to the ' legislature, but the people who have to pay these book changos have expressed no disapproval of the passage of a law that will save them expense. In re foriug to this subject, the llarrisburg Pa triot says : " The beneficiaries of tho present sys tem of arbitrary changes in the text books used in schools, publishers and school boards, are very active in their oppos ition to the measure. By the sufferers from their extortion, the people at large, no displeasure has been manifested at the proposal to inaugurate uniformity. We ob serve that in a few newspapers, whose scent for spoils is keener than their desire for truth.it is alleged that the course of the Patriot, in advocating the propriety of the appointment of a commission to investi gate and report upon this subject, has been induced by the expectancy of getting -additional stnto printing. As the state printer is the lowest bidder for the print ing the state may have to do, while there is no probability that he will ever have a sohool book to print, it would be most manifestly for the interest of the purchas ers of school books that it should be so. As far as the financial part of the question goes it is simply whether the people of the state shall pay extortionate annual tribute to publishers and school boards, or a min imum price to a single publisher regulated by publio competition. As to tho proprie ty of the measure in this merely money as pect of the question thoro can be no doubt that uniformity is desirable." llarrisburg Correspondence. IlAititiBBTJRO, May 2nd, 1874. The day for the adjournment of the leg islation has been fixed for the 15th inst. The "explanatory" bill has been allowed to rest quietly in tho House since it passed its fust reading, as the bill totally repealing the law has been reported favorably by tho oommittee, and will probably pass ihe House, if pressed to a vote. A resolution was adopted by the Bonate, requiring the R. R. committee to inquire into tho cause of the recent trouble at Susquehanna, and to see if any legislation is required to in demnify the Stato for the expense incurred and to prevent any recurrence of the trou ble. A bill has also been reported in the Senate and passed first reading, requiring vocal musio to bo taught in publio schools. The text of the bill is as follows : Vocal musio shall be taught in the sev eral common schools of this commonwealth on and after October 1, 1875, according to tho directions of the superintendent of com mon schools. The said deputy superintendent shall re ceive a salary of- per annum, to com mence at and be computed from the date of his appointment as aforesaid. The Judicial salary bill has again been revived in the Bonate. A clerical error having been discovered in the record on the vote, all action was expunged and the bill again referred to the finance committee, Did ever a bill receive more earnest sup port of its friends than this, and one is led to inquire "what influence is lobbying this bill so strongly." The bill to establish a commission to examine the feasibility of providing a uniform series of textbooks for the common schools of this borough, pass ed the Senate by a very decided vote. I was glad to notice among tho supporters of tho bill, tho Senator from your district, Mr. Dill. If this bill should become a law, it would be a great saving to parents throughout the State, and would be a gain to the teachers, who would always be fa miliar with the books, no matter in what part of the State they were called to teach. An executive session was hold on Thurs day, at which time all the Judicial ap pointments were confirmed, the Democrats having dropped their childish opposition. On tho vote confirming Mr. Broomhall, Mr. Chalfunfc voted "no" because Mr. Broomhall had said lu the Constitutional Convention, that he was ashamed of the Pennsylvania legislature. Borne people might think that this opinion of Mr. B., only proved iu a greater degree his fitness for the ofllce, but as Mr. Cbalfant was a member of the last legislature, bo has rea son to be sensitive on that subject. The bill providing (or the sale of bark . by weight was defeated In the Senate , on final vote., , , ,,,. . , ; . The bill fixing tho number of senator and representatives in the general assembly of the State, and to apportion the State into senatorial and representative districts, as provided by tho constitution was amend ed in the House, but the Senate on Thurs day, by a vote of S yeas to 20 nays refused to concur in the amendments, and the bill was reforred to a committee of conforonco. Perhaps now it will be shorn of some of its objoctionable features. It is bad policy for any party in power to pass acts which show that only party interest was sought to be served, and there is no denying that many parts of tho apportionment bill show that more pains has been taken to advance party or individual interest, than to secure a just and fair arrangeraeut of the various dis tricts. Tho tax bill which makes consider able change in the system of taxation and imposes a tax of 8 cents per ton on coal has been sigrod by tho Governor. Quid Nunc. Burnt to Death. Iloutsdale, April 20. A fire broke out early this morning in Houtsdale in the houso of L. Campbell, on George street, occupi ed by the Penington family. Loss about $1,000; no insurance. The names of the parties burned to death were Elijah Pon ington and his wife and Westlcy Poniug ton. The mother and daughter were saved but wore slightly burned. The fire is sup posed to have originated from a defective stove. The three bodios were found togeth er bolow the cornor room of the house. The bodies were not discovered until tho bouse had fallen in. A man's foot appearing among the embers led to the discovery of the bodies. They were almost totally des troyed, the features not being recognizable. The skulls were opened by the heat and the brains drawn out. Iloutsdale, Pa., April SO. It appears that the woman who was burned to death yesterday was the wife of another man,and was living with Pennington as his wife. Threats had been made two weeks ago by her former husband to kill her, and the supposition is that he first murdered the three persons and set fire to the house, to conceal his crime. A bucket was found near the premisos which had contained coal oil, and this led to the supposition. Tho coroner's jury rendered the following verdict : "That tho said Henry Peuuiugtou's house was set on fire by some person or persons unknown to the jury, and that the three victims were maliciously burned to death." Columbus, April 27. The crusaders have been very quiet here for some time until this morning, and now the old time excitement is up again. Charles Waguor, proprietor of an eating and drinking house on High street, advertised a grand opening to-day,' proposing to sell several liquors bearing tho names of "crusade water," and the names of one or two of the promi nent ladies connected with the crusade movement. On seeing this advertisement seventy ladies marched to his place to-day, and a Bmall squad, headed by Mrs. Des sellcm, President of ho Ladies' League, stepped into the store and said they had accepted his invitation to free lunch, and would like a little crusade water. Wagner refused to give or sell thorn any. They then attempted to pass into the dining-room and Wagner ordered them from bis premises. They refused to go, saying he had invited the public, and they as a part of the publio came to get their share of tho good things. Wagnor then seized several ladies and pushed them out of doors. He then grabbed Mrs. Dcssol lom by the arm and pushed her toward the door, and some of the ladies say struck her, but several men present say be oi;ly pushed her. Wagner's wife then seized Mrs. Dresseliem by the throat while Wagner be gan his work on tho other ladies. Men from tho outside rushed in, and for a time a war of words and some little scuffling took place. A posso of police arrived and the trouble was over for the timo. A largo crowd con gregated in the street and blocked the side walk, which was soon cleared by the police who commanded the ladies to keep mov ing. They obeyed this order by walking in procession up and down in front of Wagner's place. The crowd of men would have dispersed at tho suggestion of the po lice, but Wagner begged them to stay, saying he would bail out of jail any man arrested for obstructing the sidewalk. Wagner's men have been washing the pavement for a long time, but the crowd and the crusaders are still on duty, No further troublo is anticipated. About 4 P. M., the crowd became so large that Police Capt. Keelor persuaded the ladles to leave tho street. They thou repaired to the yard connected with the High street Methodist Church, and held prayer meeting during the balance of the afternoon. A warrant was sworn out agaiust Wagner for his assault ou Mrs, Dessellem. Fight with Horse Thieves. Little Rock, Ark., April 27.

Joe Waltz, the mur dorer who is sentenced to be hanged at Catsklll to-morrow, killed his keeper, C harlcs Ernest, in his cell at three o'clock this afternoon by stiking him on the head with a piece of iron and smashing his skull. During tho past week officer Ernest has guarded Waltz in his cell in order that he should commit no injury to himself. The murder to-day had been commltcd some timo before it was discovered. Geo. Olney with a reporter wont to see Waltz nnd cal led for Ernst but no answer being returned they looked throught tho cell door and saw him lying on the floor unconscious. Tho officer's revolver was found in tho posses sion of Waltz. Tho victim lived only fif teen minutes after medical aid was sum moned. Tho prisoner manifests a stolid iudiflor enco as to his horriblo deed. Tho excite ment at Catskill is lutonse, and at least 2,000 poisons aro collected arond the jail, threatening to break down the doors and lynch the prisoner. The sheriff is cool and determined to maintain order and carry out tho seutence of the court. If the mob do not take the affair into thoir hands Waltz will be hanged at one o'clock tomor row. Tho goveuor has been appealed to, and two companies of malitia have been ordered to proceed frotn Albany to Catskill forthwith. P. S. Tho prisoner has since bocn hanged. Terrible Coal Mine Disaster In England. London, April 15 A shocking explosion occurred to-day in a coal mineat Dunkinfield near Ashton-under-the-Tyne, Lancashire.

But two recognizable bodies were found. It is also certain that the entire family wore murdered, and suspicion rests upon a man in their employ ou the place. One of the bodies found among the ruins showed that his throat had been cut. Terrible R. R. Accident. A terrible aocidont happened near Cres- son on Wednesday rooming last.

A healthy liver secretes each day about two and a half pounds of bile, which contains a great amount of waste material taken from the blood. When the Hvcr becomes torpid or congested, it falls to eliminate thin vast amount of noxious substance, which, therefore, re mains to poison tbe blood, and be conveyed to every part of tbe system. What must be tho condition of the blood when It Is receiving and retaining each day two and a nair pounds or poison 1 Nature tries to work off this poison through other channels and organs the kid neys, lungs, skin, etc., but these organs become overtaxed In performing this labor In addition to their natural functions, and cannot long withstand pressure, but become variously dis eased. The brain, which is the great cloctrlcal cen tre of all vitality, Is unduly stimulated by the unhealthy blood, wbicn passes to it irom me heart and It falls to perform Its ofllce health fully. Hence the symptoms of bile poisoning, which are dullness, headache, Incapacity to keep the mind on any subject, Impairment of memory, dizzy, sleepy, or nervous feelings, gloomy forebodlngB, and Irritability of temper. The blood itsolf being diseased, as It forms the sweat upou the surface of the skin, It is so irri tating and poisinous mat it produces aiscoior ed brown spots, pimples, blotches, and other eruptions, sores, bolls, carbuncles and scrofu lous tumors. Tho stomach, bowels and other organs cannot escape becoming affected, sooner or later, and we have as tbe result costlvenoss, plies, dropsy, dyspepsia, aiarrnoeo. inner symptoms are common, as bitter or bad taste In mouth, Internal beat, palpatatlon, teasing cough, unsteady appetite, choking sensation In throat, bloating or stomacn, pain in siaes or about shoulders or back, coldness of extrem ities, etc., etc. Only a few of the above sympr tomsare likely to be present In any case at oue time. Tbe liver being the great aepuratiog or blood cleansing organ of the systemset this creat " housekeeper of our health " at work, and the foul corruptions, which gender In the blood, and rot out, as It were, tbe machinery of lite, are gradually expeuea from tne system.
