"Dr. Bordwell's colts got considera bly excited on Monday last, and made a run through the back streets of our village that caused all the people on the line of the route to wonder and feel much alarmed at the doctor's prospect for getting off without broken bones. The doctor cut the blinds off tho harness, and the colts became frightened at seeing the buggy behind them and started off at a breakneck pace Doctor Bordwell held on tight enough to break off the dashboard of the buggy, and when James McFar land stopped the runaways he was sitting down in the bottom of the buggy. It is very fortunate that no further harm was done. TheCougresebmal Vote of the State The returns of the Congressional vote in the State, as computed by the county return judges, show the follow ing vote : Straight Republican, 274, 078; Republican-Greenback combina tion in three districts, 39,210; straight Democratic, 204,862 ; Democratic Greenback combination in one district, 11,817; straight Greenback, 99,631; Independent Democratic, Columbia district, 3,345 ; Prohibition and scatter ing, 2,376. Total vote, 696,828. In the three districts in which the Republi cans and Greenbackers combined the latter only furnished about 4,000 votes, so that the real Republican vote for Congressmen is about 800,000. Hen drick B. Wright drew nearly hulf his vote, 11,733, in Luzerne county, from the Democrats, and the vote east for Brockway in the Columbia district was almost entirely Democrat. Giving the Democrats credit for these votes, their total vote is about 275,000. The Greenback Vote, with the 3,000 cast for Yocum in the Centre district, 1,000 in the two Philadelphia districts, in which there were combination tickets, and 6,000 for Wright, is 109,000. The decreased vote for Congressmen in comparison with the Governor's vote, 702,000, is mainly attributable to bad nominations by the Democrats In sev eral districts. This also contributed largely to the increased Greenback vote for Congressmen over that of Gover nor. During the ten months ending Oc tober 31st, 1878, the excess of exports over imports of merchandise was $164, 878,523 greater than during the same period last year.

The following from the Harrisburg Patriot is very valuable, if true, and will be hailed with joy by all who are. afflicted with lockjaw: "Every little while we read of some one who has stuck a rusty nail in his foot or some other part of his person, and lockjaw has resulted therefrom. All such wouuds can be healed without any fatal consequences resulting therefrom. The remedy is simple. It is only to smoke such wound or bruise, that is inflamed with burning wool or woolen cloth. Twenty minutes in thfe smoke of wool will take the pain out of tho worst caseof inflammation arising from any wound ever saw." On Monday, T. N. Hacket, while filing a circular saw in his mill, met with an accident, which probably made his hair stand on end. He was standing over the saw, when a boy employed in the mill pulled the bell cord and the engineer started the saw. He escaped, however, with a severe cut on one of his hands. It Was indeed a narrow escape. Cantcron Press. The above Is correct except that there was no "engineer" in the mill at the time and no boy to pull the "bell cord;'' there was no fire under theengineand nosteani in the boiler, and It would have taken a four mule team to start the saw. T.N. Hacket got his hand siightly scratched, but that was caused by his carelessness in striking it against a saw-tooth while engaged in filing the saw. And ths was his nar row escape." Emporium Indepen dent. Clearfield County News. From the Kepuhll.con. The steam tannery at Osecola caught fire last Saturday night and was burned to the ground. The bark and other surrounding buildings were saved by the citizen Are brigade. Many persons think the lire was the work of an incendiary. About thirty men are thrown outof employment by this accident. The loss cannot be much less than $12,000. We are informed by ft son of the injured man, that on Wednesday, the 20th inst., while Mr. Thomas Beers, an old and esteemed citizen of Bradford township, And a blacksmith by occu pation, was engaged at shoeing a frac tious colt, he Was thrown against a large block of wood that was near and fractured one of his ribs. Owing to Mr. Beers' advanced age, this accident will probably keep him from Ills work for several months. The Bell's Gap Railroad survey from Lloydsville, Cambria county, to Coalport, on Clearfield ereek, four miles above Glen Hope, in this county, has been completed, and over one hundred men are now engaged at grading the road. Twenty-five hands are engaged in the cut at Utahville, and the rest are scattered along the entire line of the road. The engineer has guaranteed ever' Bell's Gaper a ride to Coalport on the Fourth of July next.

We learn since, that while Rev. Wm. J. King, of Driftwood, was preaching the funeral sermou at the house of the father, on the 10th inst., some one rifled the pockets of a vest of $3.75. which belonged a brother of the deceased. The vest was hanging on the coat rack, and while the preach er was declaiming against the sins of the race, some scoundrel removed the pocket book from the vest aud appro priated the funds.

A common scold is a little different from a gossipping woman or man who goes about among his neighbors defaming and meddling with other people's repu tations- Verily, it has grown to be a gigantic shame that men and Women, even in what is sometimes called good society, spend so much of their time in such licentious occupations. Unlike the common scold, they do not plant themselves near the highway aud pub licly abuse and villify passers by, but they go about skulkingly and with pusillanimous bitterness slander and defame their neighbors.

Marvelous exhibition of profes sional skill is reported to have taken place in Middlcbury township on the 4th inst. One of the physicians of Tioga was called bn a case of child birth, and upon reaching the house) found the mother, a small, frail wo man, in great agony. Professional measures progressed until the birth of the child, which was a plump, nine pounder, but bereft of life. Here it was that the most wonderful case of rescuscitation we ever heard of took place. Leaving the mother In charge of two or three ladies of experience in such matters, the physician turned his attention toward saving the child After removing from its mouth all mucous substances, he immersed it alternately in hot and cold water. He then placed it in the oven, but not finding that locality warm enough to produce the desired result, the coals in the stove were raked over and the child held over them, Still discovering no signs of returning life, he inflated its lungs by the usual means of artificial respiration. .Evidences or lite were then noticed, the infant giving an oc casional gasp. Hot and cold baths were next repeated, as also were the means of artificial respiration, until life was' actually restored. Fully half an hour elapsed between the birth and the return 6f life.
