jjaijcd during last witk in auditiu tlic ac
counts of tht County Treasurer, and the
t-ouaty account, completed their lalwrs on
Wudni-sdiy la-t. It is very -ratifying to
St-arn that the county ottk-crs dur.us the
,-jtsl year conducted the afl'airs of the
county in such a satisfactory manner as to
tihow a U tter state of aflir than has ever
.-xisttfl before in this county. The Treas
urer's accounts were settled up probably
with better satisfaction than has ever been
done by any of his predecessors. The ac
counts agreed to the very cent, and the
Auditors report that the books have ljecn
kept iu such a u.auner as to save them at
leat several days in the auditing. The
tax payers will also be gratified to learn
that the county i free from debt, and that
there is an available outstanding surplus
fund amounting, with cash iu the Treasury,
to home twenty-seveu thousand dollar
mid that they will lw relieved uf at least

The death of the Siamese Twins in an
nounced to have occurred on Saturday, the
17th inst., at their residence near Mount
Airy, X. C.
A New York 7? correspondent writ

account of an iuterview with Dr. William
HolliiiL-swoi th, relative to the death of the
twins:
Ir. lJ'dliiigsworth explained that Chang
had an attack of paialysis shortly after re
turning from Europe last year ; that he
had beeu sutleriug from pueumouia, or se
vere lung cold for the past month, and that
he (the doctor) believed that it was expo
sure before he had sufficiently recovered
from this malady that caused his death.
Ou Friday Eng was as well as usual, and
Chang not apparently much worse. Eng
was in excellent spirits, and seemed re
markably cheerful and sprightly. Chaug,
on the other hand, from the debility caus
ed by his paraljsis and cold, together with
a certain stupidity resulting from the use

All the family retired at the usual hour.

the twins slept downstairs. It was hvc

uncle Chang. Uespondiug as quick' as
possible, he came down stairs, auc g.mg

the colored race, frequently alluding to
them as "niggers,'" He declared they
were unequal to the white man iu every
rcsjKct; he was not even a "black white
man;"' he was a musical, frolicsome, danc-
ing, jovial fellow; in fact he was the world's
1 "Merry Andrew." He scouted the idea
j that the negro would tight, but had seen a
! few of them, inspired by whisky, brought
up to the scratch. He continued in his
j tirade, and the import was the ignorance

Shonld the latter bill become a law, par
ties who desire to purchase book3 of any

him to do so, thus saving money, and do

by it.
The Hanking and Currency Committee,
at its meeting yesterday, agreed by a vote
of ten to one to report adversely upon
Judge Kelley's 3-C" bond scheme. The
gentlemen composing this committee could
sec no possible means of inflating the cur

obtain the bonds the people must put their
money in the Treasury of the United
States, and without any clause in the bill
to have the money again put in circula-

THE CHIEF JUSTICESHIP-,
The appointment of Morrison IX. Waite,
of Ohio, to the Chief .Justiceship, meets
with favor at tho hands of the be3t citizens j
of Xew York. True, the average Xew j The streets run filth in rivers, and if this
Yorker would have been better pleased had j weather should continue, an epidemic of
some man better known, or rather more ! some sort may be reasonably expected,
widely-known, been selected ; but as Mr. ; A j;Ew religious MOVEMENT.
Waite came to them heavily endorsed, they ; The clergymen of the various Evangeli
accepted him gladly. Any body but Cush- j cai Churches of the city have determined to
ing. Speaking about "well-known," the jgin in February an united effort in the
Xew Yorker means by that, well-known ir. way 0f a revival of religious feeling, iu the
Xew loik. A mau who is well-known in
Xew York is esteemed by Xew Yorkers as
callable of doing anything, and as fit for
any position under the stars. I heard an
amusing colloquy between an Ohio man,
who had had "the mere local reputation"'
of Mr. Waite thrown at him till he was
tired of it, and one of these metropolitan
gentlemen.
"Who would you have had ?"' asked the
Ohio man.
"Why, Pierre-pom, of course.''
"Oh. my dear sir," said the Ohio man.
"he wouldn't have answeredjat ail. He is
something of a lawyer ; but, iny dear s.r,

I1L A CK WELL'S IL A X D.
There is a narrow strip of land, dropped
into the waters of the East lliver, and run
ning upward about, two miles, from oppo
site the foot of Fiftieth street, which has
been brought into unusual prominence of
late, from its having become, the residence of
the Ex-I!oss, Wra. Marey Tweed. Devot
ed entirely to the Institutions of the De
partment of Charities and Correction, it
contains a population of over seven thou
sand souls and such souls ! From Lu
nacy on one end of the island, through all
the forms of crime and pauperism and dis
ease, to Small I'ox on the other, it is mine
of study for the sociologist, and a place of
i:rave interest to all.
The northern point of the island juts into
the boiling tides of HeU-Cate, and bears a
fine light-house, newly constructed by the
labor of the convicts in the Penitentiary.
Xear this is a singular structure Fort
Maxsey the work of an old man, who for
some forty years has been an inmate of the
Lunatic Asylum, and who, for all this
length of time, moved by the same delusion,
has toiled and toiled, building and re-building,
with the belief that the defence of the
city depends upon his works. Every board
washed ashore by the current, every scrap
of iron or stone he can pick up, all the paint
and nails which the small sums given hiin
by visitors can buy, is utilized, and the
product, with its wooden guns, its moat
and draw-bridge, and what-not, is a won
der of patient, coherent woik and reason
ing, from an insane couvictiou. Xear by
are the buildings of the Lunatic Asylum,
with some twelve hundred inmates ; among
them many, the peculiarity of whose- delu
sioiis renders them especially interesliug.
These delusions are for the most part plea-
Bant ones dreams of exalted power un- 1
bounded wealth, matchless beauty. You
will see in that budding a woman of, per
haps, forty-five, who claims to be the moth
er of God. Shu was, twenty years ago, the
most prominent of the teachers of Xew
York. Xow, she tells you gravely of her
visit to heaven last evening, and of what
she saw and did there, and she pres.-nts
you with diamonds, which are gl iss, ob
tained from the coal-scuttle. Another le
lieves himself to be the Emperor of the
world, and is decorated with stars and gar
ters, cut from his bed-quiit. He turns
round three times at each sentence, and
tells yon the exact way in which each coun
try of the globe came into the possession of
his family and himself. Then there is a
tall, fine-looking man, who perfectly ra
tional on all other subjects thinks that be
is our Saviour, and refuses to water his
garden bceauso if his Father, Cod, wished
it watered he would send rain, and to in
terfere would be disobedience on his part.
Further down the islaud comes the Woik
Ilouse, filled with drunkards, vagrants,
street-walkers ; and further still the Alms
Ilouse for the aged, blind, decrepid. Or.e
department of this institution is the Incur
able Hospital, occupied by old meu and
women, paralytics, and sufi'crers from in
curable disease. More than oue has come
here to end a life which has endured al
ready for more than a century, and all have
exceeded the allotted three-score aud ten.
Xext is the l'euitentiary, with its '.khj
cdls, all full, aud its distinguished guest,
Uoss Tweed, performing resignedly aud
quietly the menial duties of hospitr.-lordcrly.
What au episode in the political annals of
Xew York ! Win. M. Tweed, who ruled
us all, who gave and who took away, whoso
statue was to decorate out public squares,
brought up a felon on the very boat which
had so often borne him and his retainers of
the Ainericus Club as distinguished visi-
i tors to the island, tumbled into the bath-
tub by a man whom he had himself ap
I pointed, shaved, cropped, clothed in stripes
j and cast into a cell six feet by four ! There
! is a funny side to this as to everything
else. Upon tho card which hangs over
j Tweed's bed, like those of the other cou
j victs, his occupation is given as "states
I mau," an unintended satire.
Hut I have dwelt too long upon the insti
i tutions of this island. They are admira
bly managed. Dr. A. E. Macdonald, a
ma-i of not more than thirty -eight, is the
i chief of staff iu the hospitals, and to him
! the credit for the perfection of the maua.v,e
J ment is eutirely due. He is devoted to his
! profession, and both iu medicine and sur
I gery rauks with the ablest and best iu the
! country. He is a man of worderful at
! tatunients, which, combined with great ex
i ecutivcability, makes him emphatically the
I man for the place.
j LAUOR IN THE CITY.
On Friday last another attempt was
i made by the foreign agitators to bring about
! a coullict between labor aud capital. A
' meeting was to have been held in the City
j Hall Park, but it was not held. The real
. laborers were too busy aud the agitators
could do nothing without them. The times j
are undeniably hard, but there is, never- j
theless, labor for every man who will work.
And to show the groundlessness of the
movement the Commissioners of Emigra
tion have offered to pay the fares of a large j
number of the idle, able-bodied immi
grants to parts down South, where labor is
in demand.
These foreigners will keep on disturbing
things till one of these fine days they will
raise a native-American party that will
amount to something. The Communists
and Internationalists in Europe have griev
ances ; here they have none ; and the la
borers of liew York feel that these distur
bers are making unnecessary trouble.
THE WEATHER AND STREETS
in New Y'ork is of a style that has never
been seen here before. January 24th was
as mnu, warm, ana Daiiuy as was ever
known in any May. Windows were uni-
j versally open, and in the middle of the day
; fires were allowed to go out. It is fortun-
ate that the depression in labor is accom-
appreciate weather that admits of a cut
ting down of expenses. Hut what a condi
tion this warm weather leaves the streets
in I Xew York pays 100,000 per .month
for street-cleaning, which is never done.
Theaverage citi zen hails the advent of cold
weather, for the filth is frozen up ; but this
gcason, it is all iu a state of fearful liquidity
j hope that it will spread all over the coun-
try. Daily prayer-meetings are to be held,
nightly meetings for preaching in the
churches and all the available halls ; street
preachers are lo be set at work iu the open
air ; printed matter ia to be used persis
tently, aud the advertisin g columns of the
daily papers are to be utilized, to awaken
i the masses to a deeper feeling in Heligion.
i The various Christain associations join in
: the move meut, the object of which is to
; cruah ()U, the Rrowui; tcnuency to hMJfe
j .. an( the wj,ketjne9S whi(.h isbecora
j in fashiyuabIe. It is a singular fact lhat.
! tee bom ax catholic church
' : has signified its willinnpss to ioin in the
movement. 1 he priests of that denomina-
j tion' admit that seme such movement is
necessary to rescue their people from the
growing inlluence of rum and dissipation
generally. Dissipation is the first thing to
attack, and te:hers of all denominations
feel the necessity of a movement upon it.
The movement will, doubtless, be a great
success here, and will, of course, spread.
Tlie year 174 will be memorable as a year
of great religious fervor. Pietro.
KIM WORDS.
The Associated Reformed Presbyterian
says For years Perry Davis' Paiu-Killer
lias been known as a most useful family
mediciue. For pains and aches we know
nothing so good as the Pain-Killer. For
many internal diseases it is equally good.
We sjieak from experience, and testify to
what we know. Xo family ought to be
w ithout a fvjttle of Davis' Pain-Killer.
Messrs. Perry Davis i Sox, Prov. It. I.
Gents: Although a stranger to you I
am not to your invaluable medicine, Pain
Killer. I formed its acquaintance in 1S47
and I am ou most intimate terms with it
still ; experience iu its usecoufiriws rcy be
lief that there is no medicine equal to Pain
Killer for the quick and sure cure of Sum
mer Complaints, Sore, Throat, Croup,
Bruises and Cuts. I have used it iu all
and found a speedy cure in every case.
Yours Truly, T. J. GAUDIXEK, M. D.
Judging by our own experience whoever
once makes a trial of Perry Davis' Pain
Kiler, will not fail to recommend it widely
as and unequalled liniment, aud valuable in
ternal remedy for colds and various other
com plants. Every Mo nth.
The efficacy of Perry Davis' world-renowned
Paiu-Killer in all diseases of the
bowels, even iu that terrible scourge, the
Asiatic cholera, has been amply attested
by the most convincing authority. Mis
sionaries iu China and India have writteu
home in commendation ot this remedy in
terms that should carry conviction to the
most skeptical, while its popularity in com
munities nearer home is ample proof that
the virtues claimed for it are real and tan
gible. Among family medicines it stands
unrivaled. Ikmlnn Co u r'u r.
The Suturdaij Ereiumj Guzfttf of Iloston,
savs :
It is impossible to find a place on this
bioad land where Perry Davis' Pain-Killer
is not known as a most valuable remedy
for physical pain. In the country, miles
from physician or apothecary, tho Pain
Killer ischerished as the exculsive panacea,
and it never deceives.
"Perry 1 'avis' Pain-Killer is really a val
uable medicament, aud, unlike most of the
article, of the day, is used by mauy physi
cians. It is particularly desirable in loca
tions where physicians are not near ; and.
by kcepiug it at hand, families will often
sa ve the necessity of sending out at mid
night for a doctor. A bottle should be
kept in every house." Jbiston Traveller.
"We have tested the Pain-Killer, and as
sure our readers that it not only possesses
all the virtues claimed for it, but in many
instances surpasses any other remedy we
have ever known." Jlerohl of Go.xl T.ih
