l)c Scffcvsoman. THURSDAY, MARCH 4. 1875. Mr. J. M. Berlin, ban been appointed Fett-xnaater at Kre.'geville, in this County. Senator Morton of Indiana, who has leen a cripple from paralysis for many 3'ears, in now expected to get well. Hon. James N. Tyner, a member of Congress from Indiana, has been nominated and confirmed as Second Assistaut Postmas- tor-General. lie has served a long time on the Post-Office Committee of the House, and is familiar with the operations of the depart ment. SJ-J. Williams Throne, formerly of Ches ter county, in this State, was expelled from his membership in the North Carolina Legis lature, last Thursday, on account of his alleged non-belief in the existence of a God. fie was voted out on the ground that such 8tn?itucnts were "subversive of the principles of the constitution of North Carolina and of sound morality." This is the first occur reuce of this kind in our history for many year?. 3y Democratic Governor Tilden is worth from five to ten millions; lives in a house at Albany which requires all his official salary for rent alone ; keeps a cook who once served t,f. Emneror of Brazil, and has his house ------ r filled with servants of every grade ; has a btate dinner every day, in regular English fashion ; and lives like a lord generally. Sach is the democratic simplicity of the man vrho was elected Governor of New York by the votes of the "mud-sills" of his party. JST" On Saturday the United States Sen ate passed the Civil Rights bill, in the same f..rm as was agreed to by the House. Two or three Republican Senators voted against it, but it wa3 carried by twelve majority. In ita present shape it is not a very radical measure, and the Democratic minority, who had at one time determined to talk it to death, concluded to let it go through quietly Probably there will be no great up-heaval of society in consequence. The bill is cow in the hauds of the President, and we may in fer from reccut expressions of sentiment on his part that it will be approved. S2r'' Pennsylvania have as yet no cause b boast of the business abilities of their present Legislature. The sessison ha3 now been iu progress eight weeks, and just six bills have been passed by the House. The general ap propriation bill has not yet been reported by the committee, though the final adjournment is to take place on the ISth. The Senate is far ahead of the House with the public business, and can close up at any time with out difficulty. None of the bills that have become laws are of general importance. Tins Senate, as is geuerally known, contains a Republican majority, while the house is largely Democrat. We regret to learn, as we do from the many anonymous communications we have received from our brethren of the Y. M. C. A., that the organization, in part at least, Cliff works. feels disposed to take umbrage at our persis tant suggestions of a dancing school under the auspices of that institution. Now wc aver that we can see no reason for this. Our motives, if we understaud oursclf, were whol ly good, and had not a single bad thought for foundation. We believe the institution has a good aim, and, believing this, we paw, and still see, the necessity for something at tractive something to draw the many of our young beaux and belles fr rfm ways that are sinful and vain to "wisdoms ways which are ways of pleasantness and all whose paths are peace." one of the gate ways to which we co-Lcive the Y. M. C. A., to be. We chose the pleasure over which the goddess, Terpsichore presides, because we knew that it was one of the most natural attractions for the young as is more particularly evidenced by the fact, of which auy one can convince himself, by watching the young people when gathered for any purpose whether for mere chat or for the more serious work of prayer Why you can't get half a dozen together, no matter what their cendents or antecedents, and hold them together for half or even quar ter of an hour, but what you will hear the patter of feet, marking time to the words spoken, in the absence of more lively niusic; and if tune is introduced it is all the more so. This is everybody's experience. Again : we were prompted in this matter by a desire to redeem from the ball room and the bar room an exercise which moie than anv other iuinarts grace and case to the movements of the body, and puts the finish ing touches of true gentility upon all who rightfully indulge therein. The good dancer male or female, is neither round shouldered knockneed, bowlegged or parrot-toed, and we would have all christians in this world, as well as in the next, as perfect models of the perfect man and woman as it is possible for them to attain to, because the model figure is an adornment to society, and seldom shad ows the immoral soul. Being a favorite a well as healthful recreation we felt that should be indulged "where it would do the most good," and hence felt that we were doing an excellent service when we suggested that the dancing school and the dance .should be under proper auspices, and that no aus pices could be more proper than those of the Y. 31. C. A. Beside we thought iu this we would be "killing two birds with one stone' suggesting the physical benefit of the young and an attraction, or drawing card, beside which, in comparison essays or speeches, and son:; and prayer as generally indulged, and discussing "woman rights" are as a cloudy day to the noon day sue. If it need? a tnese latter to gatner the waywari onc3 in certainly dancing might be added with pro priety as being more attractive than either, Again: We were prompted to the sug gestion by a desire to advance real good Dancing not being wrong per se, as all, even the most ascetic now readily admit, we coal see no reason why it should be tabooed who it miirht be made productive of an inculcu able amount of social good, a3 pictured in more perfect neighborhood love. "David," the Bible tells us, "danced before the Lord with all his might," aud we cannot lean: SCRANTON had a $500,000 fire on Satur day morning last, and now mourns the loss f her celebrated locomotive factory, the We are now in the spring season of the ear, and yet the blue birds and robbinshavc not come, and the stones arc just as fast as in mid winter.

The thaw of last week threatened destruc- l t Y. a. live lloods to the wnoic country, uut iub providential intervention of a cold snap has checked the flow of water and ensured present safety, though in some sections the damage by water, especially in the South and VV est was very great. Removal. Mr. J. B. Miller, the down town grocer, has moved from his former place of business into the utore room lately occupied by Samuel D. Overfield. The room he now occupies has been refitted and stocked with a lare and choice selection of fine groceries and provisions, which he will sell at the lowest cash pricca. Give him a call That wedding, of which we made con ffr:itnlatnrr mention last week, we are gratified at being able to say, gives uni versa satisfaction. There are several others in town, batchelors and ex-benedicts who shoul furnish additional satisfaction to the town by following friend Burson's illustrious exam pie as speedily as possible. And now our town folks begin to talk "turkey" on the cisterns and the gas question Just the kind of talk that pretends thegoio, to work in earnest. Well lets keep it u steadily until our town have both these means of safety fully completed, and then! c then we'll talk of something else to advance the interests and prosperity of our town Nothing like talk to bring out exactly what we want. t f..J.n In, in ni-1 niinrl ran f tstinptlir V....l .

An interostincr description of a burning well in Pennsylvania has been received at the Signal Office in this city from Mr. J. Cummings, of Taren- tum, one of the volunteer observers for the signal service. He states that the well is situated about nine miles from Tarentum, and fifteen miles south of Butler, at a place called Larden's Mill, and w owned by a company. The well was tapped about ten weeks aero. A depth of 114a feet had been reached and the "first sand rock had been struck The light of the burning well could be seen at a distance of thirteen miles at night, and the scene in the vicinity is described as grand beyond description. Hundreds of people flock nightly to see this great wonder. The first thing to strike the visitor on arriving is the great mass of fine white name of intense heat and bright ness, the hollow, rumbling noise heard as the outrushing gas plunges into the at mosphere and lights all around by its im pressing brilliancy. The flame of this natural torch is about forty feet long and fifteen feet wide, and keeps at these dimensions night and dav wun striding regularity. The heat emitted by so large a body of name is very great. The trees all around at proportional distances are budding and the grass is growing finely. Sufficient light is produced to enable one toread at a distance of a mile and-a-half from the well. The noise as the gas rushes out and is eonramed is wonderful, .ad the Cold weather trrcatlv impeded their pri'spov:- ing.
