During the "blow," which prevailed on Wednesday of last week, the gable end of the brick School House, at Snydersville, this County was blown in, the weight of the bricks and mor ter breaking the joice and crushing through the ceiling. Happily the children succeeded in getting out without any one being injured. The gable end of the Rinkcr School House, iii Hamilton, also blew in, during the same storm. The Scholars made a narrow cscajw. Only one was hurt, and he slightly on one ear. The brick School House, at East Strouds burg, shared the same fate during the same blow, but no one was injured. A portion of the Bark Shed, attached to Hull's Tannery was also blown down, durin the blow. No one hurt.

Philadelphia wants to be the enpifa city of Pennsylvania. The Mayor and Councils are pushing the speculation, aud a public meeting in behalf of the change was held last Saturday. It is urged that Harrisburg is out of the geographical cen ter of travel, and that "the force of habit and the inconveniences of removal have alone prevented a change from being made Joug ago." iNcw buildings for the State Government must soon be erected, those dow in use at Harrisburg bein shabby, dirty, and inconvenient. The mob spirit iu Philadelphia seems to us the mam ohjcction to the removal propos ed ; but then there has sometimes been an exhibition of the same spirit in Harris burg. At the Philadclhia meeting on Saturday one gentleman held forth vigorously about the extreme uuhcahhi ncss ot poor Harrisburg. "Its air," he said, "is loaded with miasmatic vapor, its waier is poisonous, and while many mem bers of the Legislature have been seriously sick otners have died." At leaBt four gentlemen offered to give land for the new buildings which would be required, and thirty citizens were sent to Harrisburg to fee what could be done about the mat ter. Tribune. Two farmers of Clay county, Mo . were recently oitten by a mad do?, and f..riR. that they would be attacked by hydro phobia and iujure their wivesand children, they had heavy irons made and fastened upon them. Their hands were securely manacled, strong iron bars were fastened about their waist, and to this was welded a chain, one end of which was fastened to a ringbolt in the floor ; and thus they lay awaiting the approach of the most terrible of maladies. The . congregation of Henry Ward Beccher's church, during the past year, contributed more than $200,000 for chari table and relkfiaua ujpoecs at homo and abroad. Important It unload Consoli dation.

The State Senate on Friday last some what unexpectedly passed the genera Local Option bill, covering the whale State in its operation. It was previously amend ed so as to provide that the people shal vote upon the question of granting li censes by cities and counties instead by wards and townships, as specified in the House bill. The first election is to beheld in March, 1873. This changs will probably make the law less acceptable to its advocates, as it practially tics the hands of those who feel able to moul. public sentiment in their particular locali T . .1 . 1 . tics. Jl cannot te expectea that more than one-fourth of the counties iu Penusyl vania, and probably not near so many will vote down the pale of liquor under the fcenate bill ; but wherever the neces sary strength cau be mustered the result will be much more comprehensive. The House has yet to act on the Senate amend ment. The bill was passed iu the Senate by 10 yeas against 14 nays Mr. rind lay, Democrat, voting with tho Kepubli- cans in the afhrmativc. The new sleeping coaches for the Krie uailway will probably be put on the road when the spring time table takes effect. lhe cars will run to Chicago without change, notwithstanding the great differ ence iu the guages of the roads over which they are to run. Over the Krie road they will of course run on wheels of six foot guagc. At JSurJato the cars will run under a hoisting machine, which will lift the car from the broad guage trucks. Should this newest thing in railroading be successful, it will relieve the public from mauy auuoy- ancca from varying railroad gauges, of which there are five (including the "nar row gauge") iu tho country. The attempt some years ago to make car wheels movable on their axles, so as to accommodate different caurcrs. it was thouuht at the time would fill the requirement, but it has not been tried to any great extent on passenger cars, the shifting being done by running the cars upon gradually convcrg ing or diverging tracks until the narrower or broader gauge is reached. Then the wheels are agin locked. The Greeley Tribune of the 20th inst. announces that the fuow has vanished from central Colorado, the ground free from frost, and the farmers beginning to put in crops of Wheat and Oats.

The remedy has becu used with pei feet success since ISIS. A friend of ours has two boys, aged respectively six and eight years. The youngest was partaking pretty largely of the good things of this life at the dinner table, immediately on their return from Sunday-school. The cider, after eyeing his brother for some time, said : "Char lie, if you were to eat much more, and it should kill you, you would weigh so much that the angels could not carry you to heaven." Little six year old hesitated for a moment and then looking up, re plied : "Well, if they could not do it alone, God would send Sampson dowu to help them." : Spontaneous Combustion. An experimenting Detroit chemist took a piece of threadbare cotton cloth, smear ed it with boiled oil, and placed it in the centre of a chest filled with paper and rags. Although the room was not tiht and the weather was cold, there was a smell of fire about the room in eight days. Unpacking it, the experimenter found the rag half charred. In April he made a similar experiment with a pair of pain ter's overalls, which he rolled up with pine shavings and crowded iu next to the roof-boards of a loft. In a week the smell of smoke alarmed a workman in the next room, aod the overalls were found to be on fire. And during the hottest weather a handful of old cotton rags, not smeared with oil, became hot enough, wheu hunir up in a tin box in the sun, to light match es which he had placed among them. These facts show the necessity of caution in putting away rags, especially those that may be saturarcd with oil, bcuzine or oth er inflammable substance. Connecticut holds her annual ejection on Monday next, the first day of April The division of political sentiment in that State is so nearly equal that the majority on cither side is frcqently le?s than one thousand.

Hubbard, instead of bis old antagonist. The total vote' last year was 04,SG0, and this time it will scarcely be less.' Doth parties are doiug their best. Senator Wilson is leading the Kepubli can canvass, and the Democrats have brought out Doolittle, ot Wisconsin, as their chief stumper. The latter suffer this year from the inconvience of expecting no help from the Tammany King of New York. It is useless to anticipate results in such an uncertain contest, but the De publicans at this moment certainly possess more than an even chance of success. Great destruction by fire was caused in various parts of the country last week The high winds that prevailed doubtless had something to do with the spreed of the conflagration. On Wednesday, at Daltimore, the sash aud blind factory of Robinson & Cunuiniiham, the agricultural implement factory adjoining, and the Baltimore car wheel factory, all occupy ing a single block on Canton street, were burned. The same day the Ohio Falls Car Works, at Jeffersouville, Ind ,. were destroyed by fire. The buildingscovered five acres of grouud, exclusive of sheds and lumber yards, and about sevcu huu dred meu were cmnloved in them. Tho loss is estimated at 500,000. One of the workmen is missing and is supposed to be burned to death. The Loan House at Altoona was partly burned on Tuesday uight. The lire originated in the new ex tension, which was nearly completed, aud destroyed it, together with the upper stories of the east wing. The loss iscstima ted at $00,000. The maiu portion of the ouiidiog is not damaged.
