The Tribune says: Aooording to the latest returns the Democratic majority in the next House will not be less than IS nor more than 20. This is a great falling off from the majority of the present House, but by no means so great as a good many Re publican newspapers have''' represented. Many have recently insisted on a Demo cratic majority of only four, while some have actually claimed the House as Repub lican. Washington, November 19. Senator James S. Kutan, of Bearer, Secretary Quay's right bower, has been appointed Collector of Customs at Pittsburg, in place of Steel, resigned. Rutan was here Fri day and Saturday, with Treasurer Magee, of Pittsburg. He was backed by Mackey, Krrett and Don Cameron, and had an easy victory. His appointment will be very generally acceptable to the Republicans in Western Pennsylvania. Chicago, III., November. 18. At a late hour last night United States 'Detective Officers Tyrell and Washburn, with the aid of the local deteolive officers, captured the two men who attempted to steal the re mains of PreeideDt Lincoln from the vault in Springfield, Illinois, on the night of No vember 7. Their names are Terrence Mul'.en, alias "T. Durnan," the proprietor of "the Hub Saloon," No. 294 West Madi son street, where the arrests were made, and Jack Hughes, alias "J. Smith," an old eeunterfslter connected with the notorious Ben Boyd. New Tork, November 18. The first race of fifty miles, of the series of fifty, one hundred, and one-hundred-snd-fifty .mile races, for $2,000 on each race, between John Murphy and Captain Mowry, of the Australian team, came off to-day on Fleet wood Park traok. Captain Mowry rode mnstangs. or horses of California breed, and Murphy rode bred hack horses, both changing horses frequently. Mowry was the quickest mounter, but Murphy had the factest horses. The race was won by Murphy, bis lime, Including changes, be ing 2 hours and 25 minutes. Captain Mowry's time was 2 hours, 2(1 minutes and 20 seoonds. The winner's average time per mile was 2.S1. Th disarment of the Indians Is progres sing very rapidly, that is to say, a great number of guns, pistols and knives are be. ing colleoted by the troops, but singularly enough, the guns, are generally flint-locks or old fashion smooth-bore muskets, the pistols are on the old holster pattern a sort of hand blunderbuss while the knives are the dullest, worst hack-up "butchers" ever feen. It Would be bard lo scalp a turnip, much less a human being with them. So uniformly bad are the arms' and so in capable of doing any mischief, that the Generals In command begin to suspect that Lo has hidden his rifles and revolvers, aod has taken this opportunity, of making a lit tle speculation with the weapons of bis an eestors. Close figures on the political complexion of the Forty-fifth Congress bold that there will be tie, or possibly a Republican ma jority of one or two. If the Democracy keeps on counting out Republicans by fraud, as they did in Virginia, Missouri and Maryland, we cannot see what is to prevent their having a good working ma jority. The New York Times sayst Our latest dispatches leave the com plexion of the House of Representatives 147 Democrats to 148 Republicans, with three seats vacant. The only elements of uncertainty in this enumeration are the fol lowing:: In Florida we claim two Repub lioans; In Louisian we conoede two seaU to the Democrats and claim one Republican; there are two seats returned as Demooratio which will be contested by Republicans, and oue Republican seated whose election will be contested by a Democrat. ' There is a strong probability that when the returns are complete, tne assumed uemocratio ma jortty of four will be wiped out. and the complexion of the next House will depend on the result of the New Hampshire election in March. Two thousand umbrellas have been lost and found during the Great Exhibition upon the grounds, to say nothing of 1,000 parasols. Most of these have returned at the headquarters. The umbrellas remain ing are said to be so many melancholy and ragged and fractured specimens, mostly of eotten, as umbrellas lost and not claimed are apt to be. The immorality connected with this implement is sad te think of, Per sons otherwise honest steal it, borrow and forget to return It, and claim ownership in it with a reckless audacity. Not one un brella in ten thousand has about it any dis tinguishing characteristic; and unlike tho hat, this article fits one man as well as another, and will keep the person who steals it, as dry Jas it kept its lawful owner. The Scriptures seem to be a little at fault. The rain does not fall on the Unjust man who has stolen an umbrella, and he keeps as dry as If he were righteous. How many persons have had their joy blighted by los ing their umbrellas at the Centennial, and by thus o atoning great colds, we cannot say but we can sadly conjecture that the Mr. Candles have hal more than one night's rest ruined by the wailings of Mrs. Candle ever the missing property.

On Saturday last Miss Jennie Holes completed her tenth year, on which occasion a party was given to her little associates, and a jolly time they had of it. We could see the little folks In their neat dresses and bright ribbons, from our buck window, and we enjoyed the party as well as those that participated. It almost made us wish we were a boy again, for if there Is anything in this world that is pretty it Is little girls, and, we might add, they seem prettier as they grow older. But, all the little girls had a nice time, about five o'clock they bad supper, and in the evening they had a little dance, and then went home. We wish Miss Jennie many returns of her birthday, and her little play mates many returns of like festive ocasions. We give below the names of the young Misses who attended the party. Nellie and Ida Olmstead; Jennie Hall; Bessie and Grace Scrlbner; Kittle Wbitmore; Lulu and Carrie Cummlngs; Ella and Maud Kime; Sadie Scull; Lizzie Shack; Edith and Mattle Sherman; Sarah Gorton; Flora Irwin; Llllie Gardner; Annie and Minnie Kline; Ada and Ella Malone; Viola and Ella Neill; Ida Van Camp; Carrie Ely; Lula and Nannie Holes; Lizzie Curry; Ellen Williams; Agnes-) Clark; Minnie Miles; and Lota Holes. Theodore Tilton's Lectnre. The tickets are now in market for Tilton's Lecture. They can be bought at any of the stores in town. (Secure ticket at once for the church will only teat our hundred people and positively only four hundred tickets will be told, Of this lecture the Boxlon Journal speaks as follows: The interest to see Mr. Theodore Tilton and to hear what he had to say about "The Problem of Life1' attracted, notwith standing the drenching rain storm last evening, an audience which com pletely filled Music Hall in every part and was only equalled this season when Wendell Phillips delivered his oration on O'Connell. The character of the audience was very marked, be ing of a high order of intelligence, and would have proved flattering to any lyceum "star." The applause which greeted him Increasing in volume and ending iu cheers, evidently pleased and encouraged him, and be said, in return for the cordiality of his recep tion and for their braving the stormy weather he gave them a thousand, aye, ten thousand, thanks. The Springfield Republican, says Mr. Tilton's address was really a high moral lesson throughout. Eloquence, analysis, analogy, imagery, descrip tion, deduction all were there, and their effect was unmistakable. Ashe warmed with his subject, Mr. Tilton rose to that fervid, splendid oratory that seems aa essentially his own as the air itself. It reminded his hearers of old of the days when his voice was a clarion call against slavery, and his gray hairs now seemed the emphasis of time on the ardent nature that sooke them. Orders for excursion tickets may be bad on application to the county Superintendent with rtarcps enclosed. Married. BENSON EGLAR.. On Friday November 17th, by the Rev. A. Van Camp.

Schoenlng, in the eighth year of her ago. The child attended school on Friday last, and was not taken sick until Saturday evening, and died on Tuesday morning. She was a win some child and beloved by all who knew her. In their terrible affliction her parents have the heartfelt sympa thy of the entire community. The funeral takes place to-day at St. Mary'a. The Oil Held. The recent strikes of so many good paying wells In the Warren oil dlstrlot have caused our streets to bo filled with new faces, and our hotel keepers wear the most smiling of countenan ces, for their houses are filled nearly every night. In fact all kinds of busi ness sympathizes with the prospective greatness and value of our oil Interests. Few derricks arc going up in the lower district, and tho eagerness to secure leases is nearly as great as in July last. The Hines well, and the well of Nesbltt, Just east of the Glade City scnool house, ere doing splen didly, M-hlle the well of Struthera & Wetmore on tho side hill above, gives promise of being one of the beet yet found. It is a regular gusher, and it is said by persons of veracity to have produced 16 barrels in 15 minutes, on yesterday evening. Drilling is still con tiu tied that the proper depth may be reached, when the whole story will be told. Several other wells in the immedi ate vicinity of the above nnmed wells have fine indications, and in a day or two will without doubt muko their owners quite satisfied. Tho Humon well was torpedoed, and now yields about ten barrels. A number of what were called dry holes, und were left to slumber, have, within a week, filled up with oil, and arrangements are be ing made to pump them; and many think they will prove profitable. The oil wells are holding up in their production, and it now seems probable that many will pay for themselves in a short time, and will yield dividends that will both please and astonish. All doubt bus vanished ns to the stay ing quulities of our wells, nud all tho croaklngs of interested parties cannot change the fact that the Warren Oil Field is the best, and the expenses of developing lt;the cheapest in tho entire State of Pennsylvania.

CURIOUS FACTS THAT NEED INVES TIGATING A SUQOESTIVS LETTER. Sunbury, November 18. A man, with a boy answering the description of Charlie Ross, is at pres ent held at the Central Hotel, this place. His arrest was made under the following circumstances: As Tollee Officer Thomas Gannon was on bis way from Oil City to Sunbury last night on official duties, le observed a German got on . the train with a young, bright looking lad, aged about seven years, at St. Mary's. He was evidently no child of the German's and on entering into conversation with the boy his suspicions were aroused, and he determined to arrest them, as from the resemblance, bo thought the boy to .be Charlie Roes. On arriving at Williamsport bo promptly telegraphed Captain Roacb, Pennsylvania Railroad detective at Sunbury, who met the train at about 1 o'clock this morning and concluded to hold them. Mr. Boss was tele graphed to and a telegraphic conversa tion was held between him and tho boy through the Western Union operators at Sunbury and Philadel phia, but the boy' failing to answer certain questions, Mr. Ross requested that his picture be taken and sent to him and that the parties be watched until hewasheurd from. But Captain Roacb, acting under tho advico cf several doctors, who examined tho boy, and prominent citizens hero determined to hold hiui and mailed the picture. A book was found on the persons of tho Gcrmau with tho names of Harrisburg, Willlanisport HummeMown, Beaver and different points written in it; also a letter, writen in German, asking about tho boy, and whether tho party should keep him; and saying they would give seven dollars a week, etc. Tho boy says he came from St. Mary's whero he was kept by a woman, who kept him in all the time; also that he had been In New York, but was taken from there to Wilcox Pa., and drovo in a buggy at night from Wilcox to St. Mary's. A card was found on the boy, and he said a man gave it to him who played cards with his father at St. Mary's. He had hiB hair cut lately. He said it was done yesterday. It is done in a bungling manner. A Germantown street car ticket was also found in the book, und different addresses of bouses in riiiludelphia and Hoboken, New York. If the boy Is not Charles lioss, there is some mystery connected with the nlluir, as the doctors here pronouce him no son of tho mau who is with him, and his talk shows him to be a great deal more intelligent than the man with him. A gentleman who was horo this evening says he lived in German- town, and often saw Charlie, and says he believes it is the boy. At all events, he will be held until Mr. Ross is again heard from, or both will be taken to Philadelphia to-night. THE MYSTERIOUS LETTER. Tho following is a copy of tho German letter found in the man's posession: . Williamsvlllo, October 31, 1876. To Beit Friend. I have received your letter, and seen in it that you wish that I should take your Charles to us again. What I am willing to do Is this; First, If you send me a letter of power so that I might have a right to take him, for she (or you) could say I had no right to take him; also, wish everything that you wish that I should fetch along. Second I would like to know where you live. Third. I ask five dollars to fetch Lira, which want before I have him. Fourth, I ask :cven dollars per month until April 1. Don't be angry at me about my writing, for you know that I have five children to keep and have noth ing to sell this year, for I had a poor harvest. If you should agreo with my conditions then answer as soon as possible, then I will fetch him as soon as I am anthorized, and will treat him as well as my own children. I would send him to school, give him his board, do his washing and take care o1 him. Your Sincere Friend. Philadelphia, November 15.
