JGThe deaths from small-pox in Phila

62 Queen Victoria, was assaulted by a
man with a pistol while riding out on Thurs
day last The assailant presented a paper
granting amnesty to certain Fenians, and
called on the queen to sign or die. He was
at once seized and removed. The pistol was
not loaded, and it is the general opinion that
the man is insane. He is of Irish descent,
and is named Arthur O'Conner.
BisTTiiE financial statement of the Govern
ment issued on Fridav last announces a re
duction of the public debt during the month
of February to the amount of twelve millions
of dollars. This is rather more than the
average monthly reduction, and is at the rate
of $144,000,000 per year. Thus the national
obligations are rapidly diniiniihed, and the
public credit elevated. Does anv one hope
for a better record from a Democratic
Admistration ?
The appointment of Scth I. Comly
for Collector of Customs at Philadelphia, to
succeed Col. lorney, appears to be entirely
satisfactory. Mr. Comly is one of the lead
ing merchants of the city, and enjoys the en
tire confidence of the business community.
In his political relations he is a thorough
llepublican, but is not connected in any way
with the factions or rings of State and city
Iolities. Strong efforts were made to abtain
the appointment of a more active politican,
without regard to the commercial interests,
but the President very properly disregarded
them ancTselected a gentlemen of acknowedged
business capacity and personal fitness, as well
as of undisputed Republican orthodoxy.

term, aud that those who intend to attend
his school this spring, should herefore apply
early. We arc glad to learn of the contin

especially because it has inaugurated in our
county, a movement that looks towards the
elevation of the educational standard of our
common schools, a thing greatly to be wished
for, and which may God speedily consum

. . Deliberately Starving Himself.
Dradley Grant has a farm of 125 acrpc
four miles west of Drighampton. He lud
paid only a small portion down, and fnrtn.
ing having been rather unprofitable th
past year, he got discouraged. Five wcek
ago he betook himself to his hel, anl hat
since refused to take food. His wife has
set before him all kinda of dishes, but
during the past five weeks he has eateo
nothing but an ounce of toast. He occa
sionally takes a piece of ice in his mouth.
The family have frequently watched to
sec if he did not go into the pantry dar
ing the night, tut thus far have not been
able to catch him doing so. Neither hai
anything been missed. Mr. Grant is now
reduced to a skeleton. lie says his desire
is to die. lie refuses to receive visits
from either his neighbors or from a phy
sician. '
The examination by a committee of the
Pennsylvania State Legislature into the
practice of some Philadelphia colleges of
selling medical diplomas has already
brought out pome astounding facts. A
negro swore that he purchased a diplom
for sixty dollars, although he had never
attended a lecture. Another man, who
had attended a few lectures, got oae after
an examination so trivial in its nature
that it diflrustcd even the aspiring "Doc
tor" himself. Hut the most remarkable
testimony was given by a witness who
testified that be arranged with the faculty
lor the issue of a diploma for a child two
years old, the professor, who knew noth
ing of the child's age, naming 'he sum
and agreeing to date back the diploma
four years. After such evidence, I'ennsy.
Ivania ought to make short woik with
these diploma-mongers.
Dangerous Fire in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, 'March,. 4th Dr.
Jayne'a granite building on Chestuntnt.,
was discovered to be on fire in the rear,
frouting on Carter-st., shortly after 9 o'
clock, and the flames soon spread from
the third to the eighth story. The im
mense bight of the building renders the
steam fire engines almost useless in reach
ing the upper stories, and the building
will probably be destroyed. It is just be
low the office of the Western Union Tele
graph Company. If the side wall of
Jayne's block falls the fire nny spread to
thj; telegraph building.
Latkr 11:15 p. m The d imes rj
now belchiug out of the sixth-story win
down on Chestnut-st., and the pruspect of
saving the block from detructiiu is al
most hopeless.
Latek The upper portion of the Car
ter St., front fell with a tremendous crash
shortly after midnight, but the side wa
still remain as firm as ever; and if they
continue so the Hank of Commerce, anl
various broker's offices on Chestnut t.,
will probably escape, with the exception
of damage from water.
