last week, the gable end of the brick School
House, at Snydersville, this County was
blown in, the weight of the bricks and mor

the ceiling. Happily the children succeeded
in getting out without any one being injured.
The gable end of the Rinkcr School House,

Only one was hurt, and he slightly on one

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.

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.

Important It unload Consoli

great corporation movements which has been
so frequent of late in different parts of the
country. The Delaware, "Lickawanna and
Western Railroad Company and the' Central
Railroad Company of New Jersey entered into
an agreement consolidating and uniting. all
their interests.
The magnitude of the consolidation is thus
commented on by the New York Sun of Tues

The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad Company a corporation that has
risen from comparative obscurity, within four
years, to the position of one of the richest and
most powerful concerns in the country puts
in properly that has cost $72,000,000 of actual
investment, while the Contral Railroad Com

a great and paying business, puts in its own

The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad consists of a double-tracked road
running from "The Junction," near Washing

the Warren Railroad and the Valley Road. Its
length is 145 miles; its capital, $20,000,000; its
outstanding bonds, $11,000,000. It owns the
newly built Boonton Branch, thirty-two; miles
in length; the Syracuse and Binghonipton Rail
road, eighty miles long; and the Lackawanna
and Bloomshurg, also eighty miles in length
It control, by lease, the Morris and Karfex Rail
road from Ilobokon to Easton, eighty-four miles,
neventy-one of which is double-tracktd, with
the Newark and Bloom field and Chester Rail
roads. The Uticti Division, leased and pur

will be much more comprehensive. The

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.

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

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. In 1S70 the majority for
Governor English, Democratic, was 843 ;
and in 1S71 the majority for Jewell, lie
publican, was only 100. Gov. Jewell is
again running, but in this year opposed
by It. 1). Hubbard, instead of bis old

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

We firmly believe that, under General

a period of struggle almost as perplexing
as was tne period ot war, and with a dis
cretion and success which are not un
worthy of the reputation achieved by it
in the stormy days of civil convulsions.
What correction of abuses comes to be
demanded will be achieved. It is the
force of public opinion outside of the ov?
eminent which fill its sails and "ives it
power to move. We do not deprecate the
criticisms of able journals. Just as fast
as they can raise the tone of nublin snt'.
ment in the community they will secure
the execution of that seutiuieut by the
Administration. Iu short, the republican
party, in our judgiueut, represents ideas
