Senators were to the day of election, so as to ascertain who be elected in the Centre District, but not in the Clearfield. The following tcsti- .... . mony, copied irotn the official records of the Legislature, shows how the fraud was perpetrated, and who did it : M.

The priest came and told me that my evidence would be hard against the Democratic party, and that he had 500 he would give tuc if I would leave. I told the priest that I would take my family and go for $2000 ; Father Tracy told me he would let me known in a few days, and when wc next met the priest told me that he had written for ad vice, and that Wallace thought that 100 per month was enough ; I supposed it was Wallace, the Clearfield county lawyer ; I told the priest I would take 500. The men voted iu borough and township; Michael Fallon and one other were in the country but a short time ; the men told me that Lcdc took the lawyer3 to Tyrone; the men went back to Clearfield county, after the election, where they lived in shanties ; but fifty or 6ixty rods of the road i.i iu Center 'county ; all the voters were challenged at the polls.

Queer Fish. The Tribune's correspondent from Alaska gives an account ! queer uses ; of a fish that is put to "I must not omit the cxistance and pe culiarities of another fish one not men tioned in the 'books' which is found in grcat numbers in the coast rivers, from the Nass to the Stickccn. It appears an nually about the first week in May, and Mr. Ansley, the pilot of the John L. Ste phens says that on some days he has known it difficult to row a boat across the mouth of the Xass river on account of the dense mass of these fish in the water. ' Sometimes an adverse tide or heavy wind lodges ons of them upon the shore. The Indians know of their arrival by the flight of the birds northward. They sol dem continue over fifteen days, and dur ing this time the natives from Fort Simp son and all the adjacent regions haste to the feast of fat things. This fiih is six to eight inches long, in form resembles the smelt, ha3 a shining and almost tran sparent appearance, and of all the finny tribe is the most fat. Its fat has not the oily, rancid late of other fish, but has the sweet taste of fresh lard. The Indi ans store great quantities of it, and if well cared for it remains sweet for months. When they are dried, the Indians often turn them to a novel and practical ac count burn them iu the place of can dles. They give a clear, brilliant light, and arc not liable to be blown out by the wind. Mr. Manson, the Superintendent at. Fort Simpson, says that the tail should be lighted instead of the head, and that each fish wHl last about fifteen minutes. In a dark night the men who took na tives for guides used to rockon a mile of travel for every five fish burned." There is now no doubt" that immense frauds have been perpetrated in the Second Auditor's office at Washington, in the payments of bounties to collorcd troops and there is every reason to believe that the Government lias been swindled to the extent of a million and a half of dollars It appears that certain clerks in the Sccoud Auditor's office, in the bureau of colored troops, and in the Frccdmen's Dureau. entercJ into a conspiarcy to carry on those frauds, and that papers forwholc regiments have - been forged, presented and paid. Five persons are under arcst, and the different bureaus have been closed and the papers handed over to the House investigating committee who have the whole subject under investigation. One of the odd characters that pervade the metropolis of Grass Valley, Nevada, is an old negro named Sauks. He takes considerable interest in politics, and is bitterly opposed to the present incumbent of the White House. He is also a zcoa lous member of the church. During a recent revival among the "colored Meth odists," Sauks became very happy, and after relating his experience to the brc thcrcn, exclaimed in a triumphant tone, "l's agoin to Heaven, I is I Andy John son can't veto dat I" Nicholas Zollinger, a well-known and highly respected citizen of Harrisburg, was run over one day last week by the pas senger train from Philadelphia, and had both legs taken off. The accident occur red within a square of his homo. He was attempting to cross the track at tho time. It is noteworthy that most of the Re publican recusants in tho Senate on tho impeachment question were old Whigs. These arc Fcsscndcn, Crimes, Fowler, Ross, and Van Winkle. Trumbull and Henderson were Democrats tho former vp to the repeal of the Missouri Line, the lat cr up to the rttcliiou, The Coleman Estate and its Iron Moun tain. A Lebanon correspondent of the liar- risbury Stale Guard, in describing'the Colcman estate south nf Thnnnn marks: " Part of tho estntn mmnriwi rn Cnn acres of the richest farm land in Ccntrial a uuusyivanin, 10 wnicn tne new mown hay and waving fields of wheat attest. From the location of this immenso tract, as well as the natural advantages it pos icsscs, it may truthfully be said to be the most desirable of any one piece of landed 11 1 " 11 . . propentey in the United States. The mineral resources of the estate, the Iron Ore Dank, where the mining operations are now prosecuted, covers about one hundred acres. It is imnos- sible to estimate the quantity of ore that those grand old hills contain. Engineers havf made calculations, but they are only conjectures. The quality, however, is unsurpassed by that of any other in the Stale. This immense bo ly of magnetic ore, associated with copper ores, has been worked for a alon time at this place, at the junction of the lower silurian lime stone and the red sandstone foramation. The bed lies between dikc3 of trap, and exhibit peculiarities that distinguish it from the other bodies' of ores on this ranjre. These miucs arc worked from the top apd the ors are taken from here on a spiral railroad, built in 18G2, and which is a great feat of engineering. Wc vill add that you can ouiy have a proper conception of it by making its ascent on a "Mountaineer' one of the en gines used in hauling the cars over this road. Thero is a charcoal furnacc in full operation now at this place, which has quite a historic connection. Here were cast during the Revolutionary war, cannon for the American army. One of these guns, a twenty pounder, bearing the date of 177G, can. now be seen, mounted on a stone pedestal, within a hundred yards of the lurnacc. Here were also cast large quanitics of tcnplate stoves for the Revolu tionary army under Washington when they werrc encamped at Valley Forge, which stoves, wc are informed, are yet unpaid upon the books of the company and due the estate. There arc also in full blast two an thracite furnaces, built in 181S, under the direction of the present superintend ent, and which have been in successful operation ever since. The location and conveniences of unloading ore, coal, lime stone, &c., aro perfect. The North Lebanon Ilailroad, of which the Spiral road is a trancn, passes immediately in front of these furnaces, over which the iron can be shipped to any point. A vast deal of it, however, is shipped to the well arranged wharves on the canal near Le banon, from which point it is distributed by water. . The Japanese. Take the Japanese as a whole, hi A and low, rich aud poor, and they arc the best fed, best clad, best lodged, least over worked, and the most ircnial and hannv people on the face of the earth. rood is abundant and cheap imagin y wants are rare; the temptations to crime arc less than with us, though the lands is no Utonia.

Wc have record of a colloquy bclwccu a gentleman and his son, both lawyers, the father having retired in easy circum stances to a country place some ten miles away from the scene of his professional labors. One Suuday morniug the young gentleman, homeward bound, met his father aud mother on their way to church where they regularly attended. The father said: "My son, lam delighted, and so is your dear mother, that you arc going to hear our good man preach. You will be highly pleased with him." While this conversation was goiug on a tall friend of the son came up, and fami liarly addressing him by his christiau name "I have got the bar open, so that wc can have brandy and water whenever wo want it." Tho friend, observing the solemn countenance of tho father, beat a hasty retreat. When he was gone, the father put up both his hands and said ; "My son, I could not have bclievcdthis of you; look at your poor motherland observe how she feels j-our wickedness." After a minute of dead silience the father said : "Who is that sad companion of yours 1" Well, father, if I must tell you he is my best client, and the richest man iu our town." Tho old gentleman there upon slapped his son on the bhoulder and said : "Stick to him, iny boy; stick to him, and never have him." Wicked world !

A Canadian Jliracle-A Man Fed by the Virgin. A Canadian paper, the Unis dc Can tons, relates the following curious story : A young man-named Joseph Lc Clcre, son of a farmer living in the township of Somcrcst, Eastern Townships, aged about thirty years, and dumb from his birth, who is described as a "model of piety," through a little imbecile, left his father's house on the 2d of May, and, to the great alarm and solicitude of his parents, could not be found anywhere up to the ISth of the same month. On this day ten men went out in search of the truant, and, after some search, found him on the banks of the Riviere Noire, not far from its junction with the Kccancour. He wa3 without shoes, and lightly clad ; but although the weather for some time previous had been almost wintry, he did not seem to have suffered from cold. To the eager questions put to him by the discoverers, he gave the following account of himself: Secinir that he had lost his way, he lay down and considered how he might best employ his lime, lie then set to work to clear the bush, and had actually succeeded in ma king about a quarter of an acre of ground tolerably presentable. He averred that he had never suffered the least from hunger; that a tall lady in white, very beautiful and amiable, had every day brought him two supplies of food, consisting of a sort of largo round biscuits, far better than any biscuits he had ever seem before. She to camo to him flying, and at night covered him care fully with a large quilt, which kept him quite warm. AH this he related in a sim ple, natural manner, without any sign of deception. Ihe article concludes thus : These are the certain facts. Who can explain them otherwise than by a mysterious protec tion of Heaven ? If not, wc must start many suppositions, and it is more natu ral to bclivc that tho Holy Virgin con descended to tako care of this young man, and to restore him in safety to his family as a reward for his virtue. Why it was not "like him." A certain lawyer had his portaiut taken in his favorite attitude, standiug with one hand In his pocket. His friends and some of his clients wcut to see it. Every I o ly said : "Oh, how much, it h like lum ! it is he very picture of him !" One old farmer, who happened to be present, thought differently. "Taint a bit like him !" "' Tisnt, ch V said a half-dozen at once: "just show us now tchrrtin it is not a cajutal likeness I "Waal, 'taiu't; uo uso lalkin ; 1 tell you 'lain't I" - " ell, why? Can t you tell us why it ain't a good likcucss?" "Yes ; easy enough. Don't you seo he has got his hand iu his own pocket? 'Twold bo as good agaiu il in somtbody che's ?'

Hints to Political Meeting- As the season for political meetings approaches, it ma- be well to reproduce the follwing exec lent advice given by' Horace Greeley, omc years ago, which Lcpubhcans miglt do well to heed : 1. Do not fix Ihe day for your meet ing and then loolcXio voursnMt. will already, perbps, have been engaged.' elsewhere for tha very day- but secura your speakers fir t. Let them fix tho" day. ; 2. Two promirx't speakers with the; cal aid at your command, are amply suffit. cint for any one nfass Uicotiog. --Let lLo. people understand these can be licd ony and do not load your bills with an ray of great names only to dizappoint you "udiencc. . Have your meetings, if possible, indoors. ; qdc jQjoor meeting, evenif packed, is Hortu half a dozen outdoor gatherings. Tu former is comparatively easy and the latter fifficult for a speaker to control. 4. If you must have outior gatherings; then seek the grove or woods, and fail not to erect a stand for jour speakers, and cover it with boards, and with nothing:, else. Canvass absorbs and deaden tho-; voice, while with nothing above the speak er's head, the voice will waste in the air above, and in five cases out of six ho will nrcat down. 5 Always put down upon your plat form, whether in or out of doors, a pieco of coarse carpet to stad upon. Never cover with oil cloth, unless you expect your speaker to be lifeless and dull. Consume a3 little time as possible in preliminaries, in marching and counter marching. Get your procession upon tho ground with dispatch and proceed atonco to the business cf the meeting. 7. Remember your speakers, especially " the more prominct ncs, have families to support. Their time is valuble, and it cost them money to travel on railroads and stay at hotels.
