Thk importance of one vote is shown by
the returns from Venango county. In that
district, Park, democrat, was reported
elected to the assembly over M'Creary, re
publican, by a majority of one. ' An error
of one vote has been discovered in there
turns from the borough of Emlenton, in
favor of the republican candidate, making
tie 3,139 votes each. The error, how
ever, was not discovered in time to prevent
the certificate of election from being given
to Park, whioh will admit him to his seat
in the House, when his opponent will prob
ably contest his right to the office ' and a
ew election will probably be held. This
will be ordered by the Speaker of thehouse,
and cannot be held until some time in Feb
ruary next.

A Chapter of Crimes.
Tho Scran ton Time of -last week, Mon
day, gives the following list of orimes and
accidents, that occurred In Luzern county
in one night: -
At the Carbondale mines, about two mile
below Carbondale, a man was ' found on
Sunday morning nailed np to a beam in a
- lonely and unfrequented place. He had
been nailed np aa one would tack np the
akin of an auimal M dry, the nails being
driven through the sleeves of the coat at
the wrist, and the legs of his pantaloons at
the ankles. ' He had been left there to hang
and die, probably, but was accidentally
found and released. The name of this
man is unknown to vs. -
'' Patrick Padden, a miner employed at
Goal Brook colliery, was found on Sunday
vnorning last, upon Dundaff street in Car
bondale, badly pounded upon the head and
hide, and with two bullet boles in his head.
When found his head was frozen to the
ground, the head having dragged in a pool
of blood and water and congealed. He
was otherwise mutilated, but not quite
dead. It seems that be bad been quarrel
ling on Saturday afternoon with some
parties at Coal Brook. He died yesterday
afternoon.
Michael M'Nulty was found dead on Sun
day upon the railroad bridge near the
"look out" in Carbondale. lie bad evi
dently been put there. He worked at the
Krie- breaker near Carbondale and was
about twenty years old.
Near the same place Michael Bigluud,
who bad been seen the day before with a
suit of dress-up clothes on, was found on
Hundav with an old suit of miners' cloth'
. ing, consisting of shirt and pantaloons, and
, hU throat terribly gashed. Ho was not
. dead, and physicians having been summon
ed, and his throat sewed up, be is still
alive with some hopes of ultimate recovery,
lie was taken home. ,
A slate boss at the Erie breaker, name
not ascertained, was waylaid on Saturday
night,, had his arm broken, and was other
wise injured.
' All this bloody and murderous work was
done on Saturday night, or early on Sun
day morning, but by whom it is not known.
It is more than a coincidence that these
things should all transpire so closely to-
gather, and carries to us a terrible lesson of
the state of things In the region about Car-'
bondalo. It don t look as though mqney
was tlie object sought for by those who did
these 'deeds, the recital of which makes
one's blood chill. What the incentive was
is beyond our conjecture.
Caught In His orrn Trap.
Charles Perrin, of Dotroit, wanted to
marry, but the girl Wasn't willing. Chas.
thought ho would fix it, and so went to the
bouse with a bottle 61 acid in bis pocket,
prepared to spoil lier boauty if she did not
givo him a favorable answer.
There was no ojie at home but the girl
and her mother,, and Forrin first wanted
the girl to tako a walk with him. She re
fused to go, and he asked to see her alone.
She also refused this request, and the lover
hnd jiiHt got ready to draw the bottle from
bis pocket, when something bit him. IIo
tliongbt it was a dog, but it wasn't. The
cork bad worked out of the bottlo, and his
coat tails were turning brick color nt the
rate of a yard a minute. The acid wasn't
content with the coat tails, but struck out
for the flesh, and in about a minute the
young man was darcing around the house
as if to escape a bullet.
Shouting and whooping, ho got Out of
doors and threw off most of his clothing
and rolled In the mud, and it was some
time before any one could find out whether
he had snakes in his boots or bad sat down
on a brad-awl. He was so badly burnt that
two men had to help him to his boarding
house, whore a physician dressed his burns.
Deuth In tho Pulpit.
The Washington Chronicle of the 8th
inst., says :
" A scene was enacted yesterday during
the servicos of the Methodist Episcopal
MUsion Chuiclil on Twelfth street east,
near Pennsylvania avenue, which will never
be forgotten by the witnesses thereto.
The church was thronged as usual for the
morning sorvice, which commenced at 11
o'clock, and when the pastor,Rev. Milton E.
Hysore, entered the pulpit he anuounced to
tho congregation that he was suffering very
much from inllamation of the throat, but
proceeded at once with his sermon on the
subject Word of Life. Ho was about half
through his discourse when he suddenly re
marked, " Brethren, I feel very sick," and
clapping his right hand to his forehead as if
la intense pain, ' exclaimed, "Jesus, save
me, save me now," at the same time stag
gering back falling in a half-reclining po
sition en a sofa. Many in the audience
rushed forward to assist him, foremost
among whom was his wife, who, lifting
his head to her shoulder, asked, "Mr.
Hysore, do you feel sick V when he replied
" Yes," and sank back unconscious imme
diately. His teeth became clenched, and,
after dreadful muscular contortions, he
breathed his last.
11,000 In a Rusty Pot.
The people of North Paris, Me., are con
siderably excited over the supposed discov
ery of a pot containing f 1,000 in gold and
silver coin. About the 7th of September,
Alanson Briggs and son ' of Mechanics'
Falls, went to that place in the night and
dug a hole in a certain field, but left, hav
ing thrown back the earth and placed some
brush over it. ' Having returned in the
night, recently, they found marks as of a
rusty pot drawu from the. excavation, and
it is known that the owner of the field had
been to the spot in their absence. The
Briggses think that he got the coin. Mr.
Briggs declares that he has visited the spot
for years to got the treasure, and residents
of the town say that a trunk containing
money disappeared from a store at the vil
lage about 80 year ago.
Suffering In the Grasshopper Districts.
Omaha, November 17. The weather to
day has been very cold with high winds.
The news from the grasshopper district
are meagre but ooufiurms all of tbo previ
ous statement as to the extent of the suf
fering. Th state relief society are ship
ping suppliea to the afTeoted districts daily.
A general order was reoeived by telegraph
from Washington to-day, instructing him
to ascertain what amount of men's clothing
will be needed by the sufferers. It i hoped
this action of the secretary of war look to
the distribution of soldiers, garments to
these Buffering people.
Steamboat Disaster.
A number of lives were lost on the 18th
inst, by the sinking of the steamboat "Em
pire" while at the levee in New Orleans,
where she had just arrived. A portion of
the passengers bad already gone ashore, or
the loss would have been greater. Up to
this time no bodies, except those of Cap
tain Jansroan's daughter, aged eighteen,
and a young boy, with three others, have
been recovered. Mr. D. 11. Perrot, a pas.
senger, gives the opinion that tho boat was
over-loaded and parted in the centre.
The diver of the boll boat Osage, ou ex
amining the wreck of the Empire next
morning, saw wedged in the freight on
deck some ten or twelve deck bands. The
diver were unable to gain admission Into

tion by freight It is now believed that
the loss of life will reach between thirty
and forty.

tWAn unknowu tramp was recently
found hanging, head downward, on the
fence of a cemetory in Uxbridge, Mass.
His foot had caught between the pickets,
and he bad been unable to extricate him
self. The horrors of such a death, at such
a time and place, are unpleasant to con
template. tW The dog of Cap. Williams of North
Berwick, Maine, howled so mournfully at
his master's funeral that he bad to be

father almost becamo insane.
t" A strange potato was found at Nun
da, N. Y., recently, which the Dansville
Advertiw describe as follows : It was
dug in that town, weighed about three
pounds, and contained within itself a very
singular thing. A stem like something
protruding from one and was seen to move
a if it had life. The potato was cut open,
and the stem was round to be the tail of a
something inside which aeemed to be half
potato and half animal. It was about as
large a a mouse, with , a brown color, was
shaped like a potato, with indentation
like potato eyes, and yet seemed to be com
posed of animal flesh, and had life and mo
tion. No one had seen anything at all re
sembling it. It was to be taken to Roches
ter and shown to scientist.
OT An exchange vouches for the fol
lowing : A farmer's boy in Ohio observing
a small flock of quails in his father's corn
field, resolved to watcb their motions. They
pursued a very regular course in their for
aging, commencing on one side of the field,
taking about five rows, and following them
uniformly to the opposite end, returning
in the same manner ovet tha next five row.
They coutinued in thfe course until they
had explored the greater portion of the
field. The lad auspicious that they were
pulling up the corn, fired into the flock,
killing but one of them, and proceeded to
examine the ground. In the whole space
over which they had traveled he fouud but
one stalk of corn disturbed. ' This was
nearly scratched out of the (round, but the
ground (till adhered tw it. In the craw of
the quail he found one cut-worm, twenty
eve striped vine-bugs, and one hundred
chintz bugs, but not a single grain of
own.

Dr. Ira A. Thayer, of Baconsburir. Ohio.
writes : "I regard your Pellets as the best
remedy for the conditions for whioh you
prescribe them of anything I have ever
used, so mild and certain iu effect, and
leaving the bowels in an excellent condition.
It seems to me they must take the plane of
all other cathartlo pill and medicinal."
Lyon & Macomber, druggists, D. T.,
eay : "we think they are going to sell like
hot cakes as soon as people get acquainted
with them and will spoil the pill trade, as

Collecting Sea Moss.
A new industry in this country is that of
collecting and drying tea moss, which la
followed in the town of Kittery, Me. The
moss Is collected in dories, in the neighbor
hood of White' Island and Whale Back.
Two men go in each boat, and with rakes
made for the purposo, tear the moss from
the rocks at half-tide. It is then "taken to
tho bcaohes, where largo beds are construct
ed by taking up all the large rocks and
leaving only a surface of the pebble stones.
Thoso bod contain from ten to three hun
dred barrels. If there is no rain.sea-watcr
has to be thrown on the moss, and the sun
bleaches it from the dark green color, first
to a boautiful pink, and then to a clear
white. It has to be turned occasionally,
and made the same as bay. After it is
thoroughly dried it is packed in barrels and
shipped to Boston, where it finds a ready
sale at bix cents per pound.
