severest snow storms thot we ever witnessed,
commenced on Sunday nijjlit. Tho nniount
of snow that fell, though not treat, is diffi

raged futiotisly nil night and most oT next
day, drove it in every direction, and in every
crevice. It must have been an an fill night
for those who are not properly sheltered from
tho inclemency of the weather. All mail
communication from Philadelphia and Har
risburg, was cut off. The rail roads and
many of the other roads were completely
blocked up with drift snow. The train to
Mt. Ciirmel stopped at Shiiiiiokin. The
Willinmsport train did not come down until
Tuesday. No mail left for Hnrritdiiirg until
Tuesday. On Saturday the weuther was
Vxtrcrucly cold, the thermometer standing
below zero ul day Further south it was
still worse. In York county, houses were

Gen. Cameron had n grand jubilee iu ci m
memoration of his election as United Stntts
Senator. In the evening about 1 o'clock tho
booming of the cannon, planted on I ho rivtr
bank, annouueed the fact that something un
usual was going on. About 8 o'clock murket
square suddenly shouc iu u blaze of light. A
largo pile, of combustible uiateriol was burr,
lug in tho Stjuare, and a number of thu best
houses were handsomely illuminated from top
to bottom. The effect was beautiful. The
night was intensely cold, but this did not pre.
vent the ladies and others from coming out.
TheSunbury Brass Band euliveued the occa-
sion with Bouie soul stirring music. General
Cameron has. in this place, many warm per
sonal friends who rejoice iu his success, with
out distinction of party. This is also the
casein Northumberland and iudtediu the
whole county.
GES. CAMERO AND tll H K VI LCR I .
DIG Vt'l IO.V A V A niM'tirftT.
Though the election of Generul Cameron
meets with the appropriation of tit least two
thirds of the people of the State, there are
nevertheless, a number of indignant indivi
duals who express great dissatisfaction. A-
mong these, none ure more so than our neigh
bor, the editor of the Gazette. His iiidie.ua.
tion has not only reached the boiling point.
.esuitto lV,,CenV"ril?rul&t;j,,ilri,:,,
the only good thing he is willing to give him
creoit lor. I he great trouble with the (In,
r.etteis, the General's incdiccrii v on wh eh
he philosophises thus :
"Every thing has it use ; thu General can
be of every little benefit to his State in the
U. S. Senate, but his election will serve as
encouragement to ambitious men who re la.
boring to climb the hill of notoiiety with the
.:n i- ... y
unii-oioiie oi metnocriiy weighing tt,em down.
Small politicians will take hearl. mid npj.lv
tneir siionniers to tlio wheel with renewed
industry and vigor."
It is rather unfortunate for the General
that tho Gazette has raised its standard oi
excellence, requisite in n representative, for
a seat in our National Councils, 6t high, that
lew can reach it. especially with that "mill
stone of mediocrity" bunging uronnd the
neck. J o undertuke "to climb the hill of nn
toricty" under such difficulties would, indeed,
be a fruitless task Hut our neighbor should
r "Collect that the world has produced but one
Washington, one Fubius, one Admirable
Krichton, und hut one "Ornamental Caniij.
date" for Congress. It is true the General
wdl uot occupy, in Congress, the sume wing
ol the Capitol, with the editors beau-ideal of
a model representative, und may thus be bet
ter enabled to beur up against that superior
wituom which no would have to encounter by
a nearer contrast.
Tho Gazelle has already spoken of Senator
Bigler as u great luminary. Surely with such
a light in the Senate, and tbo "ornameulal of
the Nation" iu the Housp, the country muy
be considered safe, aud even "mediocrity,
might bo tolerated in the rest or the dclega
tion in Congress. JjeJ'ore tho Cnzetle accu
ses Gen. Cameron of treachery and want of
principle, it should first account for its own
want or consistency, in eulogising the Gener
al ut his previous election fur Scnutor. under
similar cireuiiistunces, wbco the OuzcVe de
clared they "had never heard his political in
tegrity even suspected" ond when Major
Dewurt, as a delegate, voted that "wo have
tho most unshaken confidence iu tho moral
character and political principles of the Hon
Simon Cameron." See Sunbury Gazette of
.May 28, 1340.
As for tho three democrats who voted for
Gen. Cameron, tho C'aztlte considers them
us "three contemptible wretches, who have
turned their bocks upon faith and honor."
Surely this is a most ungracious change, con
sidcrii.g that these men only did directly what
the Gaztltt has declared that Major Hewurt
und his friends did indirectly. They blame
these members for voting for a Know-Nothing
and a Republican. Hid they not vot for
Mr. Taggart, now speaker of the Senute, an
f pen and avowed Know-Nolhiug and Repub
lican, in opposition to Jesse Horton thu dem.
ocratic nominee ! liJ they expect Mr. Tag
gait to desert his purly und vote for Mr. For
ney ? If not are they not as culpable as these
"three traitors." After huving so effectually
aided in the election of Gen. Cumeron, by vo
ting agaiust the democratic nominee for Sen
tor, the Gazette and its indignant IVieud
should b cautious how they reproach others
for aid similar to their own,

We hove heretofore had occacion to allude
to Ihe fact, that onr neighbors of the Gazelle
wero troubled with a defective memory, and
that due allowance should, therefore, be made
for slight discrepancies In their views of things
such, for instance, ns their opinions of Gen.
Cumeron in 18 lli nnd Gen. Cameron 1857.
In order that our renders may have another
illustration of "the frailty of ull things hu

miscenes of the past" which must hnve esca
ped the recollections of onr neighbor, when
he wrnto the second rt'itinn of his opinion of
Gen. Cameron, as publ shed in the last Gn

that Gen. Cameron is the samo he was then,
the vigor of his intellect nnimpaired, aided by
eleven years of experience.
In regard to onr two friends, whose toasls
are annexed, we dnubt, whether they were
much chagrined at the result, or had any de
sire to review their opinion?. Tho case of
the Major is entirely different. His orders

In the Sunbury Gazette of February 28th,

lowing toasts ut the firemeu'j celebration on

On motion of Wm L. Dewart, the following

liright, hsip, and thai the highest honors

chutL'B his public duties as faithful as he
has done heretoloie.
Now it will be recollected, that Mr. Bright
had but a short time previous to this, voted
for Gcu. Cameron for United Stules Senator
against Judge Woodward, the cuucu3 nomi
nee. Thus it will be seen that the Major him
self endorsed that vote, and was ut that
time a Cameron man to the backbone.
Hut that was not nil ; the Major voted for
the two fdlow iug resolutions which were also
vnanimuutlj passed ut the same time :
Pesdlfeil, That the course pursued by the

Cameiou :
TlIK Kl.KCTKIN OK TIIK 1 1 ON. SlMON CaMMON.
The election of the Hon. Simon Cameron,
to the United Sliiti-s Senate, seems to give
much displeasure to a few though only a few
of thu democratic papers of this State.
He has for a number of years been an active
pnilisan, has participated ih the various po
litical struggles thai haveuceurred Within the
last twenty years ; he has professed to be, und
has uluays been rerrded as a staunch tieino
cr it, and never have we heard his political
integrity even so much as suspected.
Some of our readers may wonder why it is,
that some of these men ure now so bitter
uud hostile to Gen. Cameron. He has held
no public station since that time, und no one
can justly say one word against his public
cureer iu tho United States Senate, whilst
the editor of tho Gazette says, "he never
heard his political integrity even suspected."

The Harrisburg "Keystone," one of the
organs ,of Democracy, thus rcrers to Gen.
Cameron's election. The editor administers
silent rebuke to Mr. Huchunan, for his
interference in favor of Mr. Forney :
"Wu tind no fault with Gen. Cameron, for
lie was only acting on the principle of attend
ing to his own business. He wanted to' be
elected United States Senator, no matter
who was beaten, and he wus successful. In
all these things there is a moral, and there
is a moral in this election for United Slates
Senator, by the legislature of Pennsylvania.
H men will oniy bide their time, thu people
win can upon mem, wnen lliey need their
services and when the people tlo call upon
a man. they always elect him lint when this
rule is disregarded, defeat, disaster and dis
comfiture is sure to follow thus proving the
truth of the scriptural text, that "tho race is
not always to the swift, nor tbo battle to the
strong."
The following is from the Pottsville Mining
Register, the organ of tho Schuylkill county
Democracy :
"Gen. Cameron received tho voles of only
three democrats. We have tho names of
many more who had determined to vote for
him upon the second ballot, ho having been,
strictly speaking, a volunteer candidate, Uie
Republicans only agreeing, inlornia.ly, to
vole for him.
We do uot desire to be annpologist for tho
gentlemen who preferred General Cameron
to the chance ot no election nl ull ; or, per
haps, worse still, the electiou of a Senator
who might perchance, sacrifice tho dearest
interests of Peuusylvania. Tho disorganiza
tion of the democratic majority of the Senate
und House of Representatives of tho Coin-
munwcaltu, rendered it possible that u coali
tion disastrous to the production of our great
staples, Coal uud Iron, might be effected. The
admittance ot railroad iron tree oi duty, is
confidently expected to be brought about, so
that tlie coming year is going to tie one ol
too much peril Tor renrsylvuni to be with
out her lull representative in the United
States Senate. An inefficient Senator, or
one whoso uttetitiou would be engrossed by
the dislributiou of olticcs, or the canvassing
of a county electiou, would be just as bad.
A Senator without a character to sustain, or
a venal one, would be worse than no repre
sentative, because the interest which is stir
rinir to BtriliH the. duty from railroad iron is i
powerful uud growing interest, and thousands
or dollars spent to accomplish that stiipen
dnus wrong to Pennsylvania, would be a
speculation in the. abstract. Those who sup
ported Gen. (.umerou. know that he was
tried and not found wuntiug in a like crisis
when a member of th United States Senate
before. They can congratulate themselves
that they have elected the vejy man lor the
times.

Tub Bi.pk Ridor Ti'.vnkl. Tho editor of
the Charlottesville Jeffersonian, who wns
present when tho first hole was made through
tho Hlue Rulge Mountain, says :
1 he entire length ol thu tunnel is i.iiSi
feet as beretoloru ascertained by measure
ment over the mountain ; and now that tho
blasting tins been so far completed as to get
a pretty accurate measurement inside, it
ascertained to be 4,473 feet. The drills on
both sides of the tunnel when they met
varied but half nn inch ; the drill from the
western cud is precisely in the centra of the
tunnel. About eleven feet are to bo blasted
before the entire head way will bo through
On the eastern side tho rock lor 90 leet in
length and In feel in width, and in tho wes
tern end, 2110 in length nnd 1G in width
making 320 feet, is to be blasted and cut out
before the tunnel will bo finished to the level
of the track.
If the present force can lm kept at work,
the whole might bo completed by the lust of
May next, but by the 1st or July, in all
probability, the cars of the Central Railroad
will pass under, iustead of over tho Rlue
Ridge Mountain.
COAff rilOM LvKKNSVAU.rV. Advanck of
Fhkiuiit. The first train of coal, direct from
the Lykensvalley mines, since tlie opening of
the Northern Central Railway to Millersburg
is, we learn, now en route for Baltimore, ami
would already have been here but for a slight
accident on the road. The price of freight
on coal from Mdlersburg has been advanced
lo 2.38 per ton, being the same as from Pine
Grove.
This direct connection by railroad with the
immense anthracite coal fields of Pennsylva
nia, we hail with especial gratification, "us it
will not only lend to create a vast uud impor
tant trade, advantageous to Raltimoro, but
in time have the ellect of cheapening Inel.
Thu Railroad Company must ulso reap
great advantage, having before it the sure
prospect of so large an increased tonnage nnd
trade. It will l o.. in.it him siock of the
company has advanced seven dollars per shaie
within a few weeks, with large operations and
a steady upward tendency. When the link
from Millersburg to Trevorlon, now nearly
completed, nnd thence to Sunbury, ulso in a
State of progress, shall have been put into
operation, penetrating other vast coal regions
it will be almost impossible to compute the
oniotitil of Imisiocss that must flow over this
road. Iiultvnure 1'utriot.
Rkmakkauu: IVats of a Mad Do.;. A
dog belonging lo Mr. James McKoy, who
live? four miles northeast of Augusta, went
mad, and in his travels committed the most
extensive depredations. Rumor has it that
the tlog had been bitten three weeks previous
to his going mad, by another dog known to
have been rapid; but being a great favorite
with hii muster, he tied hi up and refused to
kill him ; when attacked with Ihe dissease
in his paroxysm, he broke fromhis fastenings
and escaped having, however, before leaving
his master's premises, bit two of his horses
which have since gone mud He then took a
c nirse westward, on tho Warsaw un I Augu ta
ami when ubout three miles from his starling
point, overtook Mr. Palchir, who was return
ing home from Augusta in a wagon, to his
home near Chilli ; one of his horses the dog
bit and Ihe animal has since gone mud.
He next overtook two strangers on horseback,
one of w hom was leading a third horse ; these
thiee horses the dog bit, but ns th travelers
proceeded on their journey, it is not known
whether fatal results followed or not. At the
residence of Mr. James Nult, where he bit
one horse, which has since gone mad. At
Wightowu he bit two horses, (one since mad.)
also two steers, (one since mad.) and twelve
hogs. Next ho bit a fine mare (since mad.)
for Mr. Hart. Next he bit a very fine horse
(since mad.) also three head of horses, (one
since mad,) ulso a cow and calf, (both since
mail.) Next, ut Sylvester Crouches, he bit
one horse, (since mud,) and live sheep, (nil
now dead.) Next he went lo William '1'aigh
man'.', bit several hogs, two very large ones,
estimated ut 500 pounds each, (since gone
mud,) und one steer. At Williamson's bit
one cow, (since mad;) next he fell iu with old
Mr. Hickman und Ins sou. He sprung ut the
boy with such foice as to throw him down,
but did not bite him. A large dog of M r. IPs
being in company seized bun and drove him
off. He, however, before leaving his premises
bit one, (since mad.) Next he had un en
counter with Mr. Wake's dog. After this
he went north to Mr. Adam's and bit one
steer. Next he went to John Stuart.s und
ultacked him. Mr. Stuart defended himself
with a hoe, and he finally succeeded iu killing
llin animal.
The stock bitten was estimated to be worth
3,000, and ulready gone mad SI, 000. Js'one
of tho animals bitten went mad short of three
weeks from iho time when bitten. The dog
invariably caught his victims by thu nose.
-Most of the dainago wus done iu tho night,
he having left his muster's house about dusk,
and was killed ubout noon the next day,

load Mr. II hud put iu his gun would not be
sufficient, took a sing of lead from his pocket
and placed it in the barrel he intended to use.
f.dward seeing Clarence hud the advantage
or one shot more than himseir. was seen to
