any damages done to windows by the firing of

Clothes Line Koiiufd. Ou Monday night the
clothes line In S. Faust's yard, on Market S.piure,
was robbed of a large lot of wearing apparel.
Persons cannot be too cautious ngaiust these

about 40 years of age.
Sisur.rjANNA Shad. During the freshet last
week, we learo that several hundred shad were
caught below the dam at this place. The ll-li
way arectcd at the Columbia dam, by Col. Wor
rall, proves successful, and if other dams were
ma ie In the same manner, shad would abound
by thousands iu the Susquehanna, to Its head
waters. The Legislature provided for Increased
facility for tho restoration of our I'oheries last
esstou, but the Governor is not disposed to see it
iu that light, nul refuses to sign the bill. The
present freshet will send to the sea thousands of
newly spawned ones, which we shall hear from
Iu a few years If we shall be to fortunate us to
Lave a Governor w ho cm relish fish aud sign a
fish bill.
Wk noticed on last Sunday afternoon, some
half dozen young men on a flat, crossing bc
river at Market street lauding, and when about
the middle of the stream, divested themselves of
their (jaruieuts and went Into the water to bathe,
iu sight of a large number of our most respecta
ble clllzeus ou Front street. If the youug men
have not sufficient respect for themselves, our
police should keep a better watch, and teach
them that tbcro is a law which prohibits all
such nuisances and amiovauces.

Rain. Wc have had heavy rains ou Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday nights, with numerous
showers during the day. The streams iu this vi
cinity are nearly bank full, aud the water hi the
river has riseu to a belghtU of some tlx or eight
feet. There Is a rumor that some of the booms
up the river gave way and a largo uinouut of
timber went adrilt. The boom of tho Suubury
Lumber Company, above Northumberland, also
ustalued tome dulur.ee by the water. Tliii
freshet will tmable lumbermen to flout their tim

the cii!'-iis make extensive preparations to ac
commodate the pcop'e, while h.ie, and make il
as pleasant f'jr l.ieai as the nature, of the oeea

Aud to the rowdier I would suggest that the

The dwelling house of Mrs. T. Pyers, on Se

(,. W. Smith is about completing a fine frame

We also noticed that Mr. Ed. C. F.isely has

An F.ditok llounni). On Monday night last,
our neighbor of the lltinucrnt was made a vic
tim by 6OU10 God-foisaken, unmitigated thieving
scoundrel invading his premises aud robbing the
clothes Hue ot a lot of wearing apparel, which
had been bung up lo dry. Among the Items
was the editor's extra shirt, which was being
washed aud done up for the editor to attend the
Uaitimore Convention. Fortunately for our
neighbor, lis was tho possessor of two thirls, or
he might have becu put to a great deal of Incon
venience, particularly on w ash days. The thiev
ing brute who will deliberately rob an editor,
canuot receive too severe punishuietit. Editors
generally are robbed enough by subscribers who
v.lll lake the paper for a year or two and then
not pay for It, without having some scouudrel
deserving of the peniteutiary, to rob him of his
last thirl, or any other property that ho niuy
possess.

Wo are ludobted to A. N. Brice, Esq., for tho
following report of tho hearing before Ptato Su
perintendent Wlckershain of the enutestcd Coun
ty Superintendent election case i
The examination of the County Superintendent
case came off In the Court House, on Tuesday
last. Prof. J. P. Wickers-ham, State Superin
tendent, was ou hand, and the exercises opened
at VA o'clock, p. in. Flvo lawyers were engaged
In the case. Tho complainants had John Mo
Clcery and C. A. neimeusnyder, Esq., and rhs.
poudciit was represented by O. W. Zcigler, L. T.
Kohrbach nnd J. K. Clcineul, Esq. Iu our hum
ble judgment this was just live lawyers too
many. It made confusion moro confounded, nnd
as soon as the case had been Hated (y Mr Wlck
ershain I lie technical objections commenced, and
the amiable Professor of common sense nnd Com
mon Schools was completely overwhelmed with
eloquent sallies. Unaccustomed to legal gerry
mandering, ho allowed the itentlcincn all a say,
and then quietly Informed them that under the
Act of Assembly made nnd provided in such
cases, he had the wholo riuht of deciding tho case
according to the ftwt presented. I cannot fail
hero to compliment my good friend McCleery
upon his neat and forcible demeanor nnd speech.
Ho stromrly impressed tho audience, and we be
lieve he did the Professor. Our friend, Kohr
bach, also behaved In a very unliable manner as
an attorney. The fact is tho case proceeded as
though the whole party were out on a boisterous
sea voyn'.'o, w ithout i udder or compass. This is
not si range, cither, because no case of the kind
has been tried under the Act nf lsjlio. and the
parlies and their attorneys had necessarily to
feq their way for ho k of precedents upplying to
the case in hand. And then, us is well known,
it is a very hard thing to feel out In the mist an 1
fog lifter bribery and corruption. However,
after some delay la deliningthe lines of advance,
witnesses were put ou the stand and examined
as to the charge of bribery, Ac. These were
principally directors, from thecoal rcuions (sous
of the Lm'i ral.l Isle) and from many other school
districts. The. evidence showed very clearly that
money had been given to Directors by member;
of the bhipmaii family, and that sonic of the Di
rectors had their fare paid i-u the railroad and
their expenses nnd drinks paid for at the hotels.
This was not done by Mr. SaulShipman himself,
but bv Lemuel, his brother, and Judge Shipman,
his father. It does not appear that large sums
were pai l for Votes, but amounts sufficient to pay i
expenses. .Ve. The school law providing for the
Directors in ca"h county to assemble togi tlier
LI leillliai i,V lO eii-i-I. U iiwiii- i;u'ouiiniinui j
does not In any way provide for the expenses of :
said Directors. It is evidently very lame in this
respect, for Directors arc required to perform I
llieir duties in their own district free of charge, I
and then to travel every three years to the conn- i
ly se.it for ihe ptirpo.-.e named. Ibis seems also ,
to be made at their own expense. Tills is wrung. !
The districts ought to be enjoined by law to de- !
fray tin so cxiienes. and then there would tie no
temptation to do that which may be called bri-
bery. However, as Ihe law now stall is we must j
be uui h d th'-rd.y. That Directors will receive j
j.iv nun j'.uuis. iL-auj ...ii in. n .... .....lu.n
to thee conventions Is highly reprehensibl
It
looks mspicions, to say Hie least, ami gives linge ;
room for a ci incising public lo ci.mp.am. And .
then that this thing is done by successful candi- !
dales for County Bapei iiiten.leiit of Common
Schools will necessarily detract from their Use- j
luliiess and the respect due their position. The
examination was contiuued during tiie afternoon !
and evening, and. did not conclude until about ;
midnight. The Professor was compelled lo leave j
on the night train, aud for this reason the case i
was not continued for aunt hi r day. lie untitled
the attorneys on both sides to sen.l liltn their
argument to liarrislniig in writing, where he !
would render a decision. In the testimony pro- j
dueed the only witness who referred in any way
to money or icward hiving been etlere.l by any ,
of the other caiu.i.iates, was Patrick II ail v, of 1
(.'.i ll township, who said that Mr. Ileinien-iiyder i
had I'l'.Vred to pay hi expeu-c., but he did not !
say that he did pay tliem. l)n .lie other hand 1
his statement, with the other members of that '
Bond, waslhat twelve dollars had been paid them ,
by Lemuel Shipman, for whose brother they voted, j
Mr. lieiinaiitnyiler afterwards, voluntarily and 1
under oat li, stated sub-laulially that before tic 1
election he met Mr. Heady in r-iiamokin and 1
spoke to him about his candidacy for County Su- !
pcrintciidciit. Mr. H. then sail he understood i
tlicy would come it their expenses were paid
that il it I'cpcnded upon his liberality he would
do as much as any one cite, but as the law now
stood lie could not do it. It cannot be divined,
of course, what the decision of the Male tvaper
iiiteii.hnt i.l be. The whole matter lies wilhiu
his own, brea-t. If he 1. ci I. - in favor of a
commission to Mr. Shipman. it will be because
ihe evidence di I not clearly lis the I ael that lhe
Directors wlri voted for him were paid their ex
penses b.-for: the cl -'l' in, or i.i pursuance of a
1 rcviuii- iiiitler.-'.uiitlii.'j.
Ia connection with tho above the following
will prove inli re-ling :
1 hreo years ago eight men ulii were J.-ct. .1
County bupci iiiteiidetils did not get their com- j
init-ioas. The State Saperint'-iident uppointcl .
other men in their place. Hue of the in.-n !
wl-.a-e co:iiin'is.ioii was rehired app'.ile l to the j
Supreme Couil, but Mr. Wicher.-liam's deei.-ion j
was sustained. The olliee of County Mipcrin- ;
tcndciit Is considered so sacred an interest in j
the eye of the law that if any man is elected j
who i, not lit for the position, or who was
elected through Improper incisures, he cannot ;
receive his coiiun'is.-iaa if objections are !':!ed at I
the Dcpai tnieni, according to lhe liietla.d pre- i
scribed by law. aud the Slate Siipi-rinieii h i.t

ll-.uiK.r: Wasihuj Away. The Linden bridge,
between Williauisport and Lock Haven, which
burned down recently and was being rebuilt, was
washed away ou Tuesday uight last. The
tui.lge had becu temporal i'.y erected, and cars
weie again crossing. The heavy rains on Sun
day and Monday caused a heavy freshet and a
large number of logs to come down the ttrer.in,
w hich lodged against the trestle work aud, as the
water rose, forced it to give wav.
A lirMAUKAHl.E lit sawav. On Friday even
ing last, as a coal train on the N. C. 11. W., w'nh
engint: No. .Ml attached, was coming from Ml.
Caimcl lo Sliamokiu, an accident oeciiicd which
happily did not result in any severe Injuries or
loss of life, though ut the time great feaii Were j
excited. The engine was coming dowu back
wards, and a short distance below Fulton Stutiou
run over a cow. The engine and tender passed
safely over the animal but some seven of the ears
next the engine were badly wrecked. The engi
neer and liremaii feeling ccrtrin tln ir engine
would go over the high embankment of the road
at this point, jumped oil'. Unfortunately the
coupling bctweeii the engine and cars broke, and
the engine with not a soul ou board ran uway,
passing through Sliamokiu at a speed of twenty
five miles per hour. This c -.tuned a great excite
ment In our town as lhe passenger train from
Suubury w ou'.d be shortly due, and a fearful col
lision seemed certain to ensue. Another engine
was sent immediately ufter the runaway, but
with poor hopes of success. Fortunately tho
"5G" slackcucj her speed iu going around some
of the curves, and ut the Scales was caught by
some active employees of the road who were at
this point, and arrested the engine a few minutes
before the passenger trulu came along. A fear
ful c-atastopbe was thus happily arrested.
(Ireat credit Is duo Mr. D. Attic for his elllcient
services on this occasiou. His ublliiy as a rail
