At last accounts from HarrUbur
Governor Hartkasft had not
signed the apportionment bill, and 'lis
said, some would-be Congressmen
are beginning to fear that there has
been entirely too much commenda
tion ol bis fearless use of the veto
power. Geary's refusal to sanction
the bill passed by the previous Legis
lature, sent many fond hopes to grass,
and the bare recollection of those
crushed aspiration?, causes a nervous
thrill to the gentlemen w ho are anx
iously waiting for something to turn
up. We hope the Governor will soon
put them out of their misery.
From Frank Cowan's Popt-r we
learn, that at a meeting of the Direc
tors of the Mount Pleasant Si Broad
ford Railroad held on the lSih inst, a
lease was made of that road to the
Southwestern Penna., Railway, (alias
Penua.. Railroad) for the term of
ninety-nine years. This is certainly
the most leased road within our
knowledge, the Pittsburgh & Con
nellsville road at the present time
holding a lease of it for the same pe
riod of ninety-nine years. Such
adepts at repudiating contracts have
the managers of this road become,
that we shall not be surprised to learn
ere long, that a third party claims its
franchises under a similar lease. We
much envy the stockholders, the lux

as is refpiired in all other cases where
the vote of a County is taken, that
therefore the law is so defective as to
render it a nullity. This evidently
was tbe position taken by the coun
sel of the defendant in the case above
quoted, but it was held not to be
tenable by the Court.
We learn from the fame journal
1 1, nt nil licenses were refused by the
Court, but it was intimated that
should the Supreme Court reverse the
decision of Judge Hall that applica
tions for license w ill be heard at the
June term.
Judge Hall having thus defined his
position we presume that .the parties
in this County proposing to test the
question, w ill agree to abide tbe
opinion of the Supreme Court so soon
to be reudercdinthe Franklin County

Sax Francisco,' April 21. A cour
ier arrived 4it Vreka to-night with the
following news from the front to April
18. Col. Perry, Lieutenant -Miller and
110 men left camp this morning at
sunrise on a scout southeastward.
Nothing will be done in camp until
thev return, unless the .Modocs make
an attack, which is not probable.
Part of the command will return to
morrow nighr, and part will proceed
to the Willow Spring laud route and
determine whether the Modocs have
lied that way.
Indians were seen in close proximi
tv to the camp to-dav. Three shots
were heard in the southeast, evident
ly fired by the Indians in killing cat
tle. This afternoon the Indians were
seen out . herding their horses four
miles southeast of this point and an
equal distance south of their former
position.
It is said there arc large caves and
strong positions there, and they will
make a stand at that point. The wo
men and children are there, having
been removed before the late massa
cre. There is' a quantity of anima
tion there, and a supply of water.
Fortifications will be thrown up at
points commanding the bike shore to
guard the water line.
Eleven dead bodies and one live
Modoc were found in the cave of the
lava bed to-day, making sixteen war
riors slain. The bodies of the dead
were buried. The number ol Iudi-
ans wounded is unknown. Some of
the bodies were horribly mangled by
shells. Six soldiers and one civilian
were slain. Klevcn soldiers were
wounded, two severely ; four were
disabled by sprained ankles. It is re
ported that two more of the wounded
in the lava beds are to arrive to-niirht.

Forney's Press not content with
the miserable failure of its attempt to
disruj the Republican party last fall,
is now laboring to induce a bolt in
our ranks in Philadelphia, at the next
city election, the object being to elect
that immaculate reformer A. K. Mc
Cixre Mayor of the city. Forney
stayed in the Democratic party the
last year of its national existence for
the sole purpose of betraying it, and
he is vain enough to think that he
can repeat his treachery to the de
struction of the Republican organiza
tion. The man who organized the
frauds of the Buchanan campaign,
and the engineer of the Tonagc tax
commutation swindle, are a beautiful
couple to reform the Municipal gov
ernment of Philadelphia.
TnE Beaver Argus refuses to be
gulled by the assumed virtues of Gov
ernor IIartranft, and therefore takes
no stock in the general commenda
tion of his many vetoes. On the con
trary it insists that thej- were all "put
up" jobs, concocted to throw dust in
the people's eyes, the Legislature
passing bills solely for the purpose of
having them vetoed as agreed upon
in advance. We know that the last
Legislature contained a great many
naughty fellows, but w e are constrain
ed to differ w ith the A rgu for sever
al reasons, not among the least of
which is the belief, that a majority
of that delectable body was entirely
too lazy to go so far, to accomplish so
little. Our Beaver cotemporary
carries the war into Africa w ith a
vengeance, if not with discretion.
As was anticipated, the leiralitv of
the "Local Option law" was tested in
this district last week before his
Honor Judge Hall, then presiding in
the Court of Quarter Sessions, for
the County cf Franklin. The ground
taken was "that no legal return had
been made of the election on tbe
question of license' or 'no license'
held on tbe 21st day of March last."
The Court held that the return as
made was sufficient, and charged the
jury that it w as their duty to con
vict under the law. A w rit of error
was taken and tbe question goes to
the Supreme Court for decision in

The Warm Spring Indians and Gil

Mason's troops are exploring the lava
beds, which present a horrible specta
cle. Seventeen dead Modocs have
been found and an old squaw who
was unable to escape confirms the
death of John Schonchiu. The Mo
docs are apparently a great puzzle to
the military, hiding among tho rocks,
breaking through the lines where

the Modocs have been discovered in

The following description of au en
counter betwee n a w hale and a sea
serpent is extracted from an affidavit
of a Captain West, of Hallowell,
Maine:
About six o'clock in the afternoon,
Cape Ann bearing west-southwest
about two leaffucs, steering a course
north north-west, saw directly ahead,
distant about three-fifths of a mile, an
object which I have no doubt was
the sea serpent so often mentioned by
others, engaged with a w hale that
was endeavoring to elude the attack.
The serpent threw up his tail from
twenty-five to thirty feet in a perpen
dicular direction, striking the w hale
with tremendous blows rapidly re
peated, w hich were distinctly heard,
and very loud, for two or three min
utes. The- then both disappeard for
several minutes, moving in a west
south-west direction, when they re
appeared inshore of us, and about un
der the sun, the reflection of which
was so strong as to prevent our see
ing so distinctly as before, when the
tremendous blows were repeated, and
as clearly heard as before. They
then went down again for a short
time, and again came up to the sur
face under our larboard quarter, the
whale appearing first, and the serpent
iu pursuit. Here our view was very (
fair. The scqn-nt shot up his tail
through the water to the height be
fore mentioned, which he held tut
for some time, waving it in the air,
and at the same time, while bis tail
remained in this position raised his
head leisurely fifteen or twenty feet,
as if taking a view of the surface of
I the sea. After remaining in this sit
i uation a short time he again sunk in-
half from the village I their guns at rest and perfect securi- 1 ! V 1 1 ' 1

this country will be in a horrid state
this summer. The ranchers will sell
their cattle aud be compelled to aban

Indians roaming these rocky fast

I The serpent's body was larger in
i my opinion, than the mast of any ship
I I ever saw ; his tail appeared very
i ragged ami rough, and was shaped
like an eel's and his head like that of
a land- serpent's. Being well ac
quainted with w haling, I think the
whale was endeavoring to escape, as
he spouted but once at a time on com
ing to the surface. The w bale's back
was as distinctly seen cs w ell as his
spouting, and the last time he appear
ed he went down before the serpent
came up. The above was seen by
all on board, amounting to fifteen or
eighteen persons as well as myself,
with the exception of one woman.
During our view the combatants had
passed a mile or more. The whale
was a humpback, and a pretty hirge
one.

For manv vears butter has been

Europe in hermetically sealed, cans.
Although the business was com
menced originally as an experiment,
it lias expanded to such a degree that
during the last two years it has occu
pied !veral of the largest butter deal
ers iu Copenhagen. The object of
packing the butter in this manner is
to protect it against the action of air

Lrazil, Java, Simin and other eoun
tries, generally through London or
Liverpool houses. The packages
vary in size up to 2i pounds, al
though those of 4 pounds are gener
ally preferred. The cans are lined in
side with wood, saturated with salt
pickle, and, when filled, are soldered
unattacked, and are convinced no In
dians have left the Lava lied. Don
ald Mc Kay reports forty Modocs en
camped iu the big caves, four miles
southwest of the first battle field.
The Modocs must come out for water
where McKay's Indians are posted as
pickets. It is thought desperate fight

Modocs. Captured squaws say that
in the first fignt au Indian picked up
a shell and chewed the fuse, when
it exploded, blowing his head off, cut
ting John Schonchin in two and kil
ling another. A general border war
is feared, owing to bad faith with the
Indians on reservations and the en
couragement received so far from the
example of the Modocs.

The latest joke at IJrighain Young's
expense is perpetrated by a Pennsyl
vania paper, which says : "Some
chap thought he would play a joke
on llrigham Young, so he gained ac
cess to the li.-t ot his wives ami added
twenty-seven names thereto .Mary
Jane Young, Josephine Ann Young,
Sarah Melintbi Young, and so forth.
The next time IJiiiighain called the
roll, twenty-seven didn't answer to
their names, so he concluded that
they had died since last roll-tall,
and putting a few more inches of
crape on his hat, he looked as sad as
fusible, but has not vet detected the

all
lie states that the escape had been
planned some- three weeks before its
execution, and that when decided uj -on
it was found necessary that nil the
prisoners should he included in the
plot. Ileandanother prisoner named
Fdward's each made Jccys from lead
pipe, but only his. Briceland's kevs
fitted the lock. A mould was set in
the bottom of his Ptool aud the lead
was melted on a piece of hheet iron.
He says no outside help was given
except that obtained by the use of a
knife which he rot some one to, pur
chase for him while he wns in court
at the trial.
It appears that llriccland's capture
was certain, even if he had escaped
the Culdwells. Deputy Sheriff Ram
sey nnd the other officers were close
on his track, having discovered where
Lriccland had eaten his last meat
from a ham stolen from tho smoke
house of Mr. S. S. Gardner. The
