frlitvr Sentinel: On Monday the
friend? of temperance, after a hard light,
succeeded in getting the supplement to
the Local Option bill I cforo the llouse
and passed it to a third reading. The
liquor men from I'hil.idelphi had their
friend. to oppose it. Ail kinds of dilh
tory motions were made to prevent it
reaching even its present position It
lies over in that slmpn till nett week.
when it will pass finally. 'I requires all
election districts to vote npon the ques
tion on the third Friday of March, except
those counties and cities or towns which
have already voted upon it. It was not
made a party vote. Liquor La aud is
now killing its thousands. This bill will
be the death of quite a number of legis
lators, poliiically.
Thursday was spent in repealing the
usury laws, or the laws relative to the
rate of interest on money loaned or bor
rowed. No conclusion was reached be
fore adjournment.
The appropriation and Congressional
apportionment bills have not been re
ported by the respective committees.
A bill providing for the election of
State Treasurer by the people was repor-

The House adjourned from Thursday
noon until Monday evening The Sen
ate adjourned from Friday noon to Tues
day morning. The latter body is much
the more inductions of the two. The
country members are by far the more
steady in deportment and business A
number of the Philadelphia and Tilts
burg delegation are wild and a liltle loose
in business.
The bill which passed the Senate pro
vidirg for nu insnrance' department whti
a commissioner at a salary of :i 000 per
year, and as mmy clerks as may be ne
cesscry, has been referred to a special
committee in the House, aud has not been
heard of since. There is talk of Lie
snakes about, but more of there reptiles
by and by.
The bill providing for the establish
ment of n State Mechanical School has
been reported from committee, but there
appears to be a disposition connect it
with the State Agricultural College,
which, if done, will effectually kill the
bill. Such an act would be a good deal
like tying a live man to a dead corpse.
A bill has become a law authorizing
the Governor to appoint as many notary
publics as be may think proper, provi
ding the appointees pay $25.00 into the

. THE LOBBY.
It is finite generally known ibat men
who hangjibout legislative lobies sell the
votes of members sometimes, too often,
it is believed with the consent of those
WUOl,e votes are
enred There are
. . .,:l, ,omliers
Tes""u -" '

; iave voted ana n.ia no cotmecuou . "
j tIje 11,bv.i m fr wi,oee votes ibe lobby
1 l,,ivi received laree sums of money. A
s ample case is here preseuted from the
Washington T). C , llejmbUc :
It m lint a few rears pines the vote of
a le.idinv Senator, of unniieBtioncd intee
rity, was sold for 510.000 cash, and the
money actually paid to the lobby and by
them divided or used for their own pur
poses, though the fact did not come to
the knowledge of the Senator until years
after; and this is the way it was done.
An important financial measure was
pending, and a knowledge in advance
of which way it would be decided would
enable operators iu the great cities to
make a large amount 'of money j aud,
after a cartful canvass of the 'views of
Senators, the lobby reached the conclu
sion that, as this particular Senator should
vole, so would the qu"stion be decided.
The position of, te Senator seemed to re
quire that be shoull not disclose' Lis
views until he was ready to do so on the
floor of the Senate, that the whole coun
try should be notified at the came time,
arid all parlies be placed upoji equal foot
ing. Through some leakage from the
committee room, the. lobby ascertained
that the Senator was privately preparing
a speech on the question, and it. therefore,
beCJins important to know the tenor of
the speech before it could ..be delivered
A pcrsia Laving access to the commit
tee room undertook this task, and by un
lawfully opening the desk or drawer iu
which the papers of the Senator were
kept, procured and read the notes of the
speech. Having thus surreptitiously ob
tained the required knowledge, tho lob
byist wa3 prepared to negotiate upon a
certainty, and at once applied to the pro
per party with the proposition to guarm
! tee ihe vote of the Senator for the cum
of 810,000, which was promptly put up
aud, upon the delivery of the speech and
passage of the bill, paid over to the con
trading prffiy ; and the agent of iLe par
ties who favored the passage of t:e bill,
and probably the parties themselves were
left to the conviction that this dihtinguish
cd Senator had actually bartered his vote
for the sum of $10,000, while, in fact,
the Senator krew nothing of the matter
until some two, years after, when it acci
dently came to his knowledge; till then
he supposed .that, the delivery of
speech in lhe Senate gave ihe first know 1
edge of Lis views outside of the commit
tee loom.
Cases not unlike this arc of common
occurrence, though generally involving
smaller amounts.
At a meeting of a number of promi
nent gcntloniau from different States, in
terested in the culture of salmon, tshad,
trout and other fish, held iu the city of
New York, last fall, ColonelJaraes YVor- i
rall, our active awl energetic Fish Com
missioner, fucceeded in secuiing the quota
of young California salmon, intended for j
Pennsylvania for the Susriuehnima, from !
the United States Commissioners at j
Washirgton. The ova, brought from the j
head-waters of the Sacramento, in Cali-
forni.i, and Latched at the establishment
of Dr. J. Hamilton. Slack, Pdoomsburg,
N. J , produced young salmon, now three
months old, and from one inch to one inch
and three-quarters ia length. Sixthons
aud nine hundred were started from l'r.
Slack's establishment, yesterday morn
ing, iu charge of Mr. J. P. Crevcling.
They were placed in three large tin can8t
and kept supplied with fresh water, en
route to Ilarrisburg, and arived here at
4pm, via iLe Alleutown route. About
five hundred perished iu the trmitdt.
The remainder, over six thousand were
placed iu a wagon belonging to Jacob R.

- .soon showed signs of hydrophobia. His

poor brute would rave and strike Lis
head against the sides of bis stall so
fiercely, that the blood flowed from Lis
nostrils and wounds iu stceams, and when
death ceded his agpuies, 4S huis after
being penned up, the stable resembled a

posed to have bitten this animal was kill
ed at Hickory Hill about five weeks ago.
lie had bitten some tea or twelve dogs
iu the neighborhood, all of which, to the

promptly killed aa soon as the fact was
known, except two. These two owners
refuse to dispatch tbeir's, nuder the Lope
they may not go mad. If we have bcen
correctly informed, these two gentleman
nre certainly violating the rules of good
citizenship, aud if it is positively known
that their dogs were bitten, or even came
in contact with a rabid dog, their simple
duty is to dispatch tiiem at once. No
matter how valuable a dog may be, Le
should not be kept one day if there is a
pou llily of bis going mad, for bow can
a dog's value be compared with even the
jeopardizing of a human life by that most
dreadful uf -all diseases, hydrophobia.
To conclude thaf if a dog does not gj
mad within a number of days after be
ing bi-.ten that Le will not go mad at all,
will not do, for jLe virus may not effect
the auimal for three cr six months, and
then he may do immense mischief to man
