Washington, November 24. Hon.
Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia,
arrived here to-day. Owing to bad
health he did not attend the late ses
sion of Congress, but now, having
somwhat improved, lie expects,
though feeble, to remain throughout
the next. In tho course of a conver
sation to-day, he said: "I anticipate
one of the most interesting and im
portant sessions ever held. Grave
questions may arise, and probably will
arise, and my own hope is that a
spirit of moderation and calmness
msfy possess every member. I would
deprecate excitement and, so far as
lies in my power, I shall try to allay
it. I sincerely and earnestly hope a
spirit of patriotism will prevail, and
that in the adjustment of any compli
cations which may arise the only aim
may be simple justice and a full com
pliance with the requirements of the
constitution as framed by the fathers."

An Old Document. We have in
our possession an old document handed
us by Erasmus Morey, of Beuezette,
and found by him among some old pa
persofhis father. The document is a
deed for "six acres of wilderness land
for and iu consideration of twenty
tfiree nounds Iu Province Bills of
credit in hand well and truly paid,'
etc. The winding up of tho docu
mcnt is "In Witness whereof we have
hereuuto sett our hands and seals tho
sixteenth day of January and In the
eleventh year of his Majesties Reign
Georgo, by the Grace of God of Great
Britian, France and Ireland, King,
Defender of the Faith, Ac. an. Dom,
1721." The acknowledgement bears
date 19th of January 1724. The old pa
per is yellow with ago and Its history
if known might prove very interesting.
or might form the basl for a thrill! ng
romance.

A Curious Well. Cherry Tree,
on the borders of Cambria, Clearfield,
and Indiana counties, says the In
diana Democrat, has a small artesian
well, which visitors think a curiosity.
Some twelve years ago a well was
bored for oil, and ever since water and
gas, wnicn they struck at about two
hundred and sixty feet, have been
boiling out in considerable quantities.
The water has never been analyzed,
is a mild catharlc, cleanses thoroughly
and softens the skin, is cold and very
clear: but when stlred up In the tub
within which it bolls up it becomes
white as though mixed with milk
The gas can bo burned by inverting a
keg or box over the water as it comes
up and lighting it at a hole in the bot
tom, and it burns two colors, a twirl
ing blue blaze shooting out phiall
tongues of yellow flame.
Now it Is the Indiana electors who
are in trouble. It seems the electoral
ticket voted by the Democrats in
Adams, Allen nnd Wells counties,
and which gave Tilden over 12,000
votes on the 7th inst., was gotten up
as follows:
TILDEN, HENDRICKS AND REFORM!!
1IOME8T GOVERNMENT 11KTTKR TIMES!
DEMOCRATIC
TICKET,
For President:
SAMUEL J. TILDEN,
For Vlco President:
THOMAS A. HENDRICKS.
The question of the legality of these
ballots is now under discussion, nnd
from the plain reading of the law 011
the point, as follows, it seems pretty
clear that they are illegal, and if
thrown out, as they should be, the
electoral vote of the State belongs to
Hayes.
"Section SI That all ballot which may be
enst nt any election hereafter held In the
8tato shall bewritteu or prluted on plain,
white paper, without any dlKtlngiilHlilng
marks or other embclUhmcnt thereon, ex
cept the names of tho candidates and tho
offices fur which they arc voted for, and In
spector of Elections shall refuse all ballots
offered In any othor description: Provided,
Nothing herein shall disqualify tho voter
from writing his name on the back thereof,"
The Supreme Court of tho State, wo
believe, is composed mainly of Demo
crats, and, unlike tho Court of Moses,
in South Carolina, would refnse to en
tertain any motion looking to a re
vision of the ballots.
- PERSONAL.
That magnificent piece of architec
ture, the new Brick M. E. church of
Fredonia erected at a cost of $30,000
was presided over for two years by
that able and eloquent young divine.
Rev. A N. Craft. Hewas transferred
to Tltusville in the autumn of 1873, and
there as in Fredonia, bis eloquent and
fearless sermons are listened to by
multitudes- All who have visited the
camp ground ou Chautauqua Lake
have been impressed with the power
of his logic and the beauty of his
speech". From overwork and anxiety
connected with his mission, Mr
Craft is occasionally subject to billious
attacks. Sensible iu this as in all
others matters, he does not hesitate to
use for his relief, what bis judgment
and experience dictate. Neither is he
willing to "hide his light under
bushel," but speaks out in this as in
ether matters, on the side of truth, iu
tones that caunot be misunderstood
though brief, yet to thepoint. Here
is what he says.

William's Welcome.
"BOHd" TWEED LANDED AT LAST Ilf
LUDLOW STREET JAIL.
New York, November 23, P.
M. William M. Tweed was landed
(his afternoon at tho foot of Grand
street and North river, from tho
revenue cutter. He was in a carriage
by the Sheriff, Under-sheriff and Or
der of Arrest Clerk Stacy,. Ludlow
Street Jail, where ho was admitted - -through
the gate, and not by the offieo
as usual. All he remarked on being
admitted to his -cell by Warden Watson-
was, "I thought t would conic
and see you again." No person was
allowed to see him to-nigjit, and no
one but the watch mun will be permit
ted to enter the corridor. The experi
ence of his escape has made the offi
cials of Ludlow ttrect very watchful.
He will be treated precisely as oiher
prisoners, and allowed no privileges.
His rooms are much smaller than
those previously occupied, arid are ac
cessible only through tho Warden' 1
apartments.
Tweed was visited by his son, Wil
liam M. Tweed, Jr., and an unknown
person. They remained two hours.
Tweed closed his door nnd refused to
be seen. After supper ho retired arid -was
not visited again during the night
The prison is t hronged by reporters,
and prisoners, reporters and visitors
are so mixed up that the Warden has
hard work noting who is who.
Tweed's delivery by the naval officers
was made in the presence of District
Attorney Phelps, United States Dis
trict Attorney Bliss and Sheriff Con
ner. He was taken off the Franklin
in the lower bay by the tug Catalpa,
and after the delivery was made Bliss
and Tholps went on board the Frank
lin and left the Sheriffin full'charge
of the prisoner. Mr. Phelps says it
was not decided yet whether tho
forgery suits would bo pressed aguinst
Tweed. However, an order has been
served on the Sheriff calling for the
rearrest of Tweed, should he procure
ball in the civil suits pending.
The Schultz tannery, which for
years was idle, ana Had assumed so
dilapidated an appearance from
neglect that it was an eye sore to the
passer by, has within two years been
completely metamorphosed. After
Mr. Wilhelm purchased the property
the dilapidated tumble down struc
tures were replaced by neat and sub
stantial buildings. This summer a
great improvement has been made by
buldlng a new engine house with
ample rooms 011 the second story
which arc used in the manufacture of
leather. They have already built up
a good trade in leather, and ere long
Wilhelm's tannery will be known far
and wide. One of the accommodations
which they havo Introduced for the
benefit of the public Is a steam whistle,
which gives notice to the whole town
of the time, morning, noon and
night. A few more enterprising
business men like Mr. Joseph Wil
helm and Joseph Hanhauser, his able
assistant, and we would soon have St.
Mary's turned into a manufacturing
town of celebrity. St Mary's Gaectte.

Tallahassee, Flo., November 25.
The Board of Canvassers received
notification this morning from the
(Secretary of State who is ex-orticio a
member of the board and charged
with calling it together, that they
must meet at 12 o'clock, noon, Mon
day, to canvass the vote of tho State
Tne Judge lias not yet uccideu 1110
injunction and mandamus cases now

mittee of five from each of the politi

in. The result will badly be reached
before the 6th of December, when by
the laws of the United States, the elec
tors' certificates mu6tbe issued.
Louisville, November 21. The de
cision of the court that one of the
principle gamblers of Louisville must
pay a fine and suffer six months' im
prisonment on account of carrying 011
a game of faro, produces considerably
stir among that class of the com
munity, because of the precedent
heretofore, by paying a fine, the gait
blers were permitted to continue
their games. The present case will bo
carried to the Court of Appeals and
there tested, so far as imprisonment is
concerned. Brethren from v Chicago,
