Defrauding1 TJnclo Sain.
In accordance with the recent instruc

throughout the country are looking up
the frauds which are every day commit
ted to avoid lawful postage. The extent
of these frauds will be best understood by
our enumerating the contents of 23 pa

were written upon, 3 contained drcFspat

contained a landscape drawing, 1 a letter
and a 3 bank bill, 1 a child's apron, 1 a

The Liquor Question.
The Committee on Vice and Immorali
ty are about reporting a bill for tho sale
of intoxicating drinks. From a hasty
glance at the bill, wo make the following
-ynopsi:
The 1ft section provides that all per
sons who desire to sell liquors . by loss
measure than a quart, shall take out a li
cense for that purpose from the Treasur
er of the county in which tbe applicant
desires to sell, on or before tbe first Mon
day of May in each year; whereupon the
Treasurer shall issue bis certificate that
the holder ther3f has paid a certain a
mount (which is left blanl',) into the
Treasury of tho State, whicb shall entitle
him to sell liquor. Physicians, apothe
oarics and chemifts are, however, not
permitted to take out such license. Per
sons may take out licenso after the first
of May. but only for ihe balance .of the
year.
Section 2 provides that persons so ap
plying for license shall file a bond in tho
Court of Quarter Sessions of tho county in
which he resides, for the sum of five hun
dred dollars, with sufficient seourities, to
be approved by the Treasurer, condition
ed that tbe person or persons asking li
cense, as aforesaid, shall not permit gam
bling or disorderly conduct, or, knowing
ly, allow any minor to drink spirituous
liquors on the premises; and on forfeiture
of thesaid obligation, suit may be brought
on the complaiut of any citizen of this
Common wealth, one half of the forfeiture
to be awarded to the use of tbe sebool
fund, and the other half to the use of tbe
Commonwealth. The clerk shall furnish
blanks to be filled up, and fill the bonds
for each applicant so licensed, for which
service he may charge one dollar and no
more.
Section 3 provides for a classification
of those who desire to sell liquor-. Thoe
who sell to tbe amount of 810,000, and
upwards, shall pay an annual licen-e of
$200; tbe 2nd class to pay S100; tbe 3rd
class to pay 50; but no license to be is
sued for less than S30, except to those
venders of spirituous wines, malt and
brewed liquors in that portion of the City
of Philadelphia known as townships,
whose sales do not exceed tbe sum of
2,000, who shall pay S25; and the sec
ond das, whose sale do uot exceed SI.-
000, shall pay 815; but no license shall
be granted for le.-8 than this sum.
Section 4 gives the County Commis
sioners power to grant license, after the
have assumed obligations that they will
perform their duties faithfully and impar
tially; and they must give notice, before
the first day of April in each year, in two
newspapers, of tbe time and place of their
mectiugs; when and where, and from time
to liaie, as may be necessary, they shall
inquire into the moral character and so
briety of the applicant, and ascertain the
locality of the house and property to be
occupied. The Clerk of the Court shall
produce the bond of the applicant filed in
his office, and the Commissioners shall
decide upon tho sufficiency of the sureties,
which must be approved by a majority
of the commissioners. In case of death,
the commissioners have power to fill va
cancies. Tbe corumissioucrs shall also
prepare a list of dealer?, with tbe place
of their business, arranging them in their
several classes, and fchall furnish each
person so asscsseu with a notice of their
several classifications, and aUo of the
time and place of which appeals may be
made. For this certificate they raav
charge 50 cents. They shall also have
power to administer oaths and interogatc
applicants as to the amount of their sa!o.
for the previous year; and if they deem it
proper to increase or diminish the fees paid
for licence, they cay do so, and may alto
reject tbe application altogether. If an ap
plicant feels himself aggrie.ed.be may ap
peal to the Court of Quarter Sessions,
and leave that tribunal to decide the
question; but the appeal must be taken
within five days after the decision of the
county commissioners, in the city of Phil
adelphia, and days within the differ
ent counties. The appeal inu-t be sworn
to by the applicant, and certified to by
twelve freeholders of the ward or borough
where the house is to be licensed. If the
Court should reject the application alto
gether, the decision of aid Court shall
state upon which exceptions tbe said li
cense may be refused, and shall be endor
sed on th.e affidavit or exceptions, and re
turned by the clerk of the said Court to
tbe board of Commissioners.
If any commi!gioner refuses to nerform
these duties, he shall be deemed guilty of
misdemeanor ot otnee, and, upon convic
tion thereof, bo fined S500 for each of
fence; and if guilty of receiving bribes for
the purpose of influencing their actions,
shall be removed from office.
Persons selling without license shall be
subject to a fine of 50 for each day they
bball sell contrary to law.
The bill is a very lengthy one, but we
have given tho principal features of it a

Tho Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
has decided that
A verdict and judgment in favor of the
garnishee in an execution attachment on
the plea of nulla bona, at the suit of one
judgmeut creditor is uo bar to an execu
tion attachment isaued by another judg
ment creditor against tbe same debtor aud
garnishee, for the same debts, goods, de
posits of money &c, which was liable to
the first atttaebment.
An execution attachment is not purely
a proceeding in rem.
The following decision is also given
It is felony in Pennsylvania, in the
keeper of a prison, to voluntarily suffer
ouQ in hi custody, charged with the com
mission of a felony, to escape.
In an inoidunt tof such an escape, it is
unnoccaaary to ailege that the defendant
knew tbe person or pcraens escaping to be
guilty.
An assignment of errorthat tbe Court
erred In not arresting tbe jndgment be
cause of tho insufficiency of the indict
ment,' ia bad for generality.
In an indictment for felony, it need not
appear ou tbe record that the prisoner
was hoard by himself or counsel on a no
tion for arrest of judgment.
Orange Crop in California.
The Orange Crop of Los Angclos, Cal
ifornia, is coming into market. The crop
amounts to about 170,000, and is sold on
the ground at 812 per thousand. The
cultivation of tbe orauje is destined to
become an importaut source of wealth to
the State, or at least it will occupy many
persons, and hold an importaut place iu
our trade. The trees commence bearing
when eight yars old, and will produce a
crop worth S25 per tree, or SI 000 to an
acre coutaining forty trees. This esti
mate is a low one, both for the price and
the quaatity of fruit; for a good tree often
yields several thousand oranges in a year.
The cultivation in earnest has jut com
menced; this year's crop may be said to
to be the first which has ever come to our
market from Los Auelos. The fruit is
large aud good. Galijornia Papier.

A Skunk Story.
We have not heard as good a skunk
tory Hi tbe following, since tbe memora
ble one written by a former editor of tbe
"State Gazette." It happened in old Vir
cinia:
"We saw yesterday going up toward
the upper ferry, a team of four animals
a horse, a pony, a mule and a bull. The
horse bad the heaves, the pony was blind,
the mule was lame, and the bull had no
provision for 3y time. In the
waon
which was an ordinary one. there sat
white man, a crippled nigger, and a tame
skunk frailly bound with a whisp of straw.
The white man held the lines, the team
held its own, and the nigger held the
skunk, and they all moved forward. To
make tbi worthy of its place, it is ossen
tial to say that it is true. Trenton

Death of Judge Kane.
From Tho Phila. Evening Bulletin, 22d.
The Hon. John K. Kane, Judge of the
United States District Court for tbe Eas
tern District of Pennsylvania, died about
9 o'clock last eveuing, at bis residence,
Fern llock on Green Lane, Twenty-second
Ward. He had been suffering for
some days from a severe attack of pneu
monia, the fatal termination of which had
been anticipated by all who attended him.
John Kiutzing Kane was born in Phila
delphia about the year 1795. He was a
son of John Kane, whose father emigra
ted from Ireland in the year 1756. His
mother was a Miss Yan Hennsclaer of
New York. He was educated at Yale
College, and then studied law in Phila
delphia, in the office of tho lato Judge
Hopkins. On the 8th of April, 1817, he
was admitted to the bar, and soon took
rank among its members as one of the
moat promising of their number. He
was originally a Federalist in politics,
but in the Jaekson times he gave in his
adhesion to the Democratic party, and
was elected by thorn several times to the
State Legislature. He was also at one
time their candidate for Mayor, and held
for a time, tho office of City Solicitor.
In 1S45, ho was appointed, by Governor
Shuuk, Attorney-General of the State.
This office he resigned in Juno, 1846,
when, on the decease of Judge Randall,
of the United States District Court, Pres
ident Polk appointed him to fill the va
cancy. This office be continued to hold
up to the tin;? of his death. Mrs. Kane,
who survives hiu, a3 Miss Jane Leiper,
a descendant of Thorns Leiper, of the
Revolution. A daughter and three sons
also survive. The Utter are Coi. Thom
as L. Kane, who is now iu California, R.
Patterson Kane, esq., a member of the
bar and of the Common Council of this
city, and Dr. John K. Kane, who accom
panied the searching expedition sent out
iu quest of the second Arctic expedition
of the late Dr. Kane, and who is now iu
Paris.
Judge Kane was a gentleman of fine
abilities, a good lawyer, and a learned
judge. He was also an accomplished
belles-lettres scholar, and an adept in the
yraceful accomplishments of society.
Few men of our acquaintance were more
courtly in manner, or better calculated
to impress upon the observer the idea of
a perfect gentleman. Whether at the bar
on the bench, iu political life, or in socie
ty, he never for an instant lost his self-po'i-ession,
or was betrayed into a rude
word or a display of temper. He was a
member of various artistic and scientific
societies, s ich as the Musical Fund soci
ety, the Academy of tbe Fino Arts, and
tbe American Philosophical Society, and
exercised high influence in all of them.
However men may have differed from
him on political question-', there are none
that will deny him the poseSMon of most
winning social qualities, and of great firm
ness and tenacity of purpose in every
thing that be undertook.
A Mountain of Glass.
Tbe San Francisco Courier says :
'Wc have in our possepson several speci
mens of class taken from a bill situated
16 miles from the town of Napa, and ou
the creek of that name. The article po
sesses all the characteristics of glass, be
ing both brittle and translucent. It is
however, of rather a dark color, occasion
ed by tbe presence of oxide of iron.
Those woll acquainted with the proper
ties of glass state that the only operation
necessary to make good marketable glass
out of the article under consideration, is
to extract the small quantity of oxide of
iron it contains, which can be readily
done by melting, and an addition of man
ganese. In fact, experiments which have
been made show that beating it to a red
heat in a common stove has the effect to
drivo out the dark coloring matter with
which it is impregnated. The hill or
mountain from which this glass is obtain
ed, seems to be composed almost entirely
of this material, and is oapablo of supply
ing the whole world for many years with
glass."
A Curious Case.
A short timo ago, an old man named
S-
died in Crawford County, Ohio,
leaving a wife and five children. By bis
will tho estate was divided equally be
tween the children. This division dis
pleased the eldest son, who refused to
take bis share of the estate, asserting
that he was not the ?on of tho deceased
S , nor of the widow S .
He claims that at the age of seven he
was adopted by the deceased, in Penn
sylvania, and has lived with him since.
Tho widow protests that he is her son,
and several other women in the neighbor
hood who came from tho same place in
Pennsylvania, testify to being present on
the occasion of his birth. Notwithstand
ing this array of evidence, bo persists in
his original statement. At first, the heirs
were willing to believe him, as it would
lessen tho number of htir3. The youn
man one day presented a bill of services
from the age of thirteen, the amount of
which would swallow up the whole est n k.
They then were perfectly willing to ac
knowledge him as a brother. A suit on
tho claim has been commenced.

St. Lours, Saturday, Feb. 20, 1858.
Tbe Pacific Hotel, in this place, was
burned at 3 o'clock this morning. About
100 persons were iu tho house when the
fire broke out, 40 or 51) of whom are

The following are seriously injured :
James F. Geary, reporter of "The St.
Louis Loader."
Elhew Hayes of New York.
Jonathan Jones, Mr. Towns, Win. Tur
ner, and Mr. Sharpe, watchman of the
house.
The fire caught in the drug store un
der the hotel, and spread so rapidly that
the stairways were enveloped in flames
before the inmates could be roused. All
egress was thus cut off except through
the windows. Many leaped from the
third story and were horribly mangled or
instantly killed, aud many more were un
able even to reach the windows, and were
burned to death in their own rooms.
Several more bodies are supposed' to be
in the ruins, and hundreds of excited men
arc energetically engaged in removing
the rubbish and searching for them.
The wounded were promptly taken
charge of by their friends or sent to the
hospital, where their injuries were imme
diately attended to. Several of the woun
ded cannot possibly recover. The loss
of property is upward of 850,000.
Terrible Explosion of Gas.A Church De-
stroyed.-beveral Persons Injured.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Saturday, Feb. 20.
Last evening about 7 o'clock, tbe Meth
odist Protestant Church, on Sixth street,
near Race, was partly destroyed by the
explosion of defective gas-pipes. At the
hour mentioned, some fifteen persons
were assembled in the basement for meet
ings, when a strong odor was felt, and
an effort made to discover the leakage.
A light was applied to the meter, when
the blaze burst forth, but was extinguish
ed by a bucket of water. Quiet was al
most restored, when the esplosion took
piace, tearing up the floor, shattering the
wall?, and making a wreck of the base
ment. More than half the pews in the church
were torn up, windows were blown out,
and portions of the floor blown as high
as the ceiling. Doors were forced from
the hinges and blown into the street.
The explosion was heard at a distance of
half a mile. The windows of many buil
dings in the vicinity were destroyed.
Eight or ten persons were severly wouu
ded, and two or three of them are not
expected to survive.
Matrimonii Infelicity.
There is a curious difficulty now in pro
gress in oue of our colored churches, the
facts of which we give as nearly as we
cau from a somewhat roundabout hear
say. Two members of the church man
and wife arc so unfortunate as to live
unhappily. The husband whetner un
der Othello-pangs of jealousy or simply
because he was worried by a colored
Xantinpe found his life so uncomfortn-
)le that he resolved to tako some moans
to rid himself of his conjugalities, and be
once more a man and a brother, but not
a husband. Ihere being uo Joe Beii'ler
at hand to whom ho might apply for "a
cup of cold piscn," and having a distaste
for any of the more vulgar means of di
vorce, such as arc said to be prevalent in
Rochester, tho "cullured puson" in ques
tion falls back on the Fugitive Slave law
as a resource. His wife was a fugitive
who came here by underground railroad
be wishes she bad stayed underground
and so bo writes to her maj-tcr down
South, imploring him to come North,
provo property, pay charges and take lib
helpmeet back to chains and Slavery.
The fact leaked out, and the matter is now
dividing tho church. Wc learn that a
portion of the elder3 think that this re
manding hia own wife back to Slavery
was not just the fair thing, whilst others
look upon it as justifiable. They argue
that tho husband may have suffered so
severely under the bonds of wedlock, that
tho bonds of Slavery would be no more
than sufficient punishment for the wife.
There tho matter stands. The church is
divided and distracted, and whore it is to
end nobody can tell. Bujfato Com. Adv.
