Beath of Senator Watt.
lion. Wm. Watt, member of the
Feuato of this State, died suddenly at
his residence in Philadelphia, on Friday
last. Him death creates a vacancy m
tho first benatonal district of this etate,
Mr. Watt has been for a long time an
influential member of the republican
parly of Pennsylvania. He served
lour terms as a representative in lower
house, and was recognized as an able
member. lie was about fifty yetirs of
e"c at the time of his death.
Senator Watt's death makes the
parties in the l'ennlylvania Senate a tic
16 to 16. A special election to
choose his successor must be held under
a writ directed by the Speaker of the
Senate to the Sheriff of Philadelphia
'Iho Constitution of tho State require
the Speaker to issue the writ wheu the
vacancy occurs, and the net of J u!y
3839. prescribes that the election shall
be held within not lcs3 than fifteen and
not more than thirty days from the Usui
ng of the writ A deep interest will
ccntro about tho election to fill the
nnj, 't'fwill h a strutralo for party
sunremacv in the Senate Tho district
r
is democratic by asinall majority, as we
think the election returns of the past
few years will show.
Gen. Win. McCandkss will doubt
less fill tho vacancy occasioned by the
death of Mr Watt- The splendid
run which he made in 18GG, when be
was elected in the First District by t,
majority af about 1S00 votes over Jerry
Nichols, marks him as the standard
hnarerer in the coming contest. Dcin-
xchanyc$.
The Corning Democrat says that
about the 1st of May last, a Mr.Xivisou
..rw-tlriny nhn him devoted a larger
tortion of his life to the study of geolo'
yj, became couvinced, from repeated
experiments, that the hill contained
mineral deposits that would pay for in
vestigation. Mr. Nivison procurctl a
lease of the land, and proceoded to ex.
cavate, hoping to quarry stone suflicicut
nay expenses. But this hope proved
futile : uarties needing stone woul
rather buy it of some other man than
do anything to assist an enterprise iu
which they had no faith. Only one
man was found whose faith led him to
assist in carrying the enterprise to a sue.
cessful iesuo, and that was Joseph IIol
enbeek.
Joseph had faith, and now there is
exposed to view a lead, five feet thick
and 80 feet wide, of black stone, which
we are assured contains a large percent
age ol silver, copper and lead. Prof.
Hall, State Geologist, visited the mine
last week, and gave it as his opinion,
that the rock contained mineral in con
siderable quantities.
He took spacimens with him for
examination. A small quantity has
been smelted in a common cruciablo,
and the result proves satisfactorily that
the quarts is rich in mineral wealtn
The objsct now is to have a proper assay
to determine whether it will pay.
A Young Man's Mistake.
A few days since we were conversing
with a young man who seemed quite
disposed to cavil at religion as illustrated
in the lives of Christians- lie manifes
ted the prolound ignorance obliviousness
of facts which infidels display when
talking on this subject. One of his
remarks was that he liked that class of
persons who took an intrcst in the worl
dly welfare of their fellowmeo, and not
those who were bringing their religion
into everything, instead of supplying
the temporal needs of society and con
tributing to their mere amusement.
One might have supposed that he had
just been born iuto the world, so igno
rant did he seem of facts. Wo took
him up on his own ground,and bv refer
ring to tho charities of this great city,
rich and poor, showed him that the
Tety people who are giving their tens
and hundreds of thousands of dollars
lor the temporal relief of the suffering
and the needy, are the Christien people
while the worldly millionaires are hoard
ing up their gold for their own selfish
satisfaction. Let any one take the re
ports of our hospitals and houses of ref
uge and houics for the unforunatc, and
he will find that in most of them, nearly
every dollar comes from Christian men
and women while the men and women
who are threading alleys and climbing
rickety stairs to search out aud help the
chi-dren of want, are Christians. Who
ever meets in such t'laces an iuCdel
engaged in a work like this- Such
thing may be, but if it does occur, it
must be by a very strange exception to
the general rule. Comparsons are odious
but never so much so as when they are
untrue; and tho encmis of tho Gospel
are very fond of making tho falso corn
parson indicated above- All facts prove
it to be not only unjust, but notoriously
untrue. N. Y. Obscner.

Lest They he DiscotUAfiED. A
father had given his son a book, and as
he was going away to preach at a distant
appointment, he spoke of the appropri
ateness of his spending his leisure houas
on the Sabbath in reading. While he
was gone a sudden impulse seized the
boy to win his fathers approval by
seeing hoff much he could read. So
every moment ho could gain he read in
his new book, thinking all tho time
how pleased his father would be with
his dilligence. When he leturned, he
hastened joyfully to meet him, showing
him the mark, and telling him the
number of pages he had read. But
the father was cold and tired, and worse
still, was thoughless. So he hastily put
thd boy aside with the word3. 'You shoud
have read twice as much. It a
blow had struck tho boy to the earth, it
would have been a slight injury,

O, how we need to watch ourselves
