The Somerset Herald. WEDNESDAY. December a, 1ST 4. Gov. Chamberlain, of South Car olina, was inaugurated at Columbia on Tuesday last TnE residence of Auditor General Allen, at Warren, was destroyed by fire on Tuesday last. The public debt statement issued on the 1st inst, showa a decrease during the month of November, of $123,427 C8. Congress met on Monday las-t. We hope to lay the President's nies Bge before our readers in our next issue. Dr. John A. Hunter, member of Assembly elect from Armstrong Co., died at his residence at Leechburg, on Sunday. He was elected by the republicans. Small rox prevails to an alarm ing extent in New York City, and the Board of Health bas appointed in spectors, who are competent medical gentlemen, in various districts of the city as a corps of vaccinators under the supervision of an experienced physieian. The Greensburg Republican and Democrat suggests the abolition of jury commissioners. It says the County Commissioners will now rep resent both the minority and major ity in each county and there is no fur ther excuse for the additional expense. j It is being extensively published that John W. Forney is to be ap pointed Minister to Russia. We hope not. lie is not lacking in ca pacity, but ho is not entitled to this mark of confidence from the Admin istration. He tried his level best in 1872, to elect Buclalew Governor of this State, and thus defeat there election of Grant. The Republicans of Pennsylvania have not yet forgot ten this little affair. Neither has the President, we presume. Some inquiry is being made just now as to when the new State offi cers will assume charge of their of ficial duties. We answer: The Su preme Judges and Lieutenant Gov ernor Latta will enter upon their du ties immediately after the announce ment of the vote in the Legislature, on the second Tuesday of January nxt. General McCandless, Secre tary of Internal Affairs, and Justus F. Temple, Auditor General, wiil not take their places before May next, when the terms of the present inrurn bents expire. iTiie following is extracted from a private letter from a prominent Re publican in North Carolina: "Of course, the result of the late election is construed here as the triumph of the rebels and the rebellion. In 18C5 treason was beaten and crushed; in 1S74 it has been resurrected. Here after it may be considered an open question whether treason is to be considered a crime or patriotism a virtue, for the country has endorsed tirason. Every rebel here is saying, 'lie North has come over to mat lust."' There seems to be much distress prevailing among the laboring classes in Luzerne county, and other adjacent j' -rtions of the coal and iron regions. Nearly all the iron furnaces and foun dries are either idle or working only on partial time, and this, together with the general depression of trade, hiving reduced the consumption of c al, there is very little doing at the i-olleries in this usually busy season. Thousands arc in idleness, without any means of obtaining work, and the distress is very great. The Mayor f Scranton writes to a cotemporary that all the means of relief in that city are exhausted, and be fears, as winter-advances, that the suffering iv ill become extreme. Toe Baltimore America says; "Judge Black has written a letter in relation to the Pennsylvania Sena torship, ia which he says: "I have not nominated myself ns a candidate for Senator, but certain friends in different parts of the State Lave sug gested that I ought to be chosen, and I have not said that I would not serve if elected. So you see I am a little like General Grant with the third term." With regard to the probabil ities of bis election, he suggested if the Legislature was left to its own spontaneous choice, that a clear ma jority would vote for him, but evi dently thinks his chances small, be cause he bas "neither time, taste nor talent for personal solicitation; nor skill in the arts by which caucus nominations are secured." The miners tbat have been preva lent eiacc the election, that Hon. Wm. P. Schell would contest for the scat in the Senate to which Col. E. D. Yutzy was elected, have at last taken shape, notice of contest having been served on the Colonel a few days bince. We do not propose to interfere with the province of the court, before which the matter will shortly be beard, but from street ru mors regardiog the alleged sround of contest, the case is excrutiatiogly thin. The principal hope of the contest ut u based upon an informality in the mode of supplying he place of an absent officer of the election board in Milford township, but of course a drag-set has been Bpread over the entire county, with the hope of rak icg a tew doubtful or illegal votes. To us it looi. like a very reckless at tempt on the part of the contestant to procere a temporary eeit in the Senate f x tie puipose of t astin? a ballot for a far orite Democratic ceo didate for C. S. Senator. We for bear all comment upon the merit of the ease until it Las been developed before the Court. The vote of tha Prohibitionists of this State at the Lie election was: Bradford, 5.S52 Parson, C.235 Cuthertson, 5,750 The official niujurities for the Dem ocratic candidates at the November election were : Latta, over Olmsted, 4.C19 Temple, over Allen, 4,094 McCand!ess, over Death, 4.C25 It thus appears says the Adams Star and Sentinel let, that the Dem ocratic candidates are elected by a plurality vote, not by a majority of all the votes polled; 2d, that the Pro hibitionists have defeated the State ticket of the Republican party, help ing to beat Gen. Death, an out-au-out temperance man. Next wiuter Mr. Black and his State Committee will be making frantic appeals to temperance Repub licans to come to Harrisburg and prevent the repeal of local option ! They will be likely to let him fight out the battle on the line he bas c osen. Col. Thomas A. Scott only re quires the trifle of $70,000,000 to complete Lis Texas Pacific road. This amount Le proposes to raise on forty year bond-, at five percent, in terest, payable in gold, and he in tends to ask Congress to guarantee his bonds. This !s a very modest re quest to come from a "railroad king," and we presume will be cheerfully grtuted by the peoples' representa tives at Washington. As, however, this is the short session of Congress, and the national finances require some little attention, wo trust the sugges ;ion wiil not be considered offensive, that this little transaction be postpon ed till the next Congress, when the representative of the Pennsylvania railroad from this district will have an opportunity to support it It was the allegation that Col. Scott waited him in Congress to sup port this very bill, that proved eo po tent an argument in his behalf in certain portions of the district, and we don't want to see the Hon. John Reilly deprived of this opportunity of proving his fidelity to the best in terests of his principal constituent OI II SEW YOBK LETTEH. New York, Dec. 7, 1874. UNLICENSED I.IQl Ott DEALERS. The 60uls of the liquor dealers of this city are being agitated just now by the action of the Excise Commis sioners, who are buntiDgdown those who sell the ardent without proper :icense. l tie liquor aeaiers' i rotec tive Union resisted the law; but in the lest caso the court went against them, and wide-spread consternation ensued, as well it might, as not one in the thousands ofsr.loons in the city ever took out a license. The decision of the court makes every one of them liable to heavy penalties, and the police arc determined to bring them to the score, no matter at what cost. They hope tc close about a thoushnd of them bv this means. EXTRAVAGANCE IN DRESS has always been charged to the femi nine account, but this winter, it strikes me,, the sterner sex may fair ly take their share of condemnation. One rich ycung man recently pur chased two seal-skin coats, costing severally $500 and $900, and two Ulster coat, the belt buckles wrought in massive gold and equally massive silver. What do you think of that? One man paying $2,000 for over coats with thousands about him wanting bread! True it is that every rich man in New York does not buy such extravagant articles; but the mania for rich clothing bas taken possession of young New York. To pay $150 for an overcoat is nothing rare, aud a suit, from hat to boots, including overcoat, that does not go a long way into $300 is not much for a suit, Add to this the diamond studs, the ring, the watch, and the ether adornmeuts, and Charles Augustus manages to carry about with him the best end of $2,000, which bas 10 be renewed very frequently. But, nevertheless, they have cot down the $C25 salaries of the poor teachers seven per cent, and are standing out against the 'longshoremen, who want enough wages to keep bouI and body togeth er. Speaking of the 'longshoremen, Their strike is eeneral, and em braces the many thousands of men who God their daily bread in leading and unloading ships. It would seem the Leigbth of folly for any set of la borers to strike at the beginning of a long winter, but tho 'longshoremen have, from the nature of their em ployment, fair prospects of success. Any man can roll a barrel, but every man cannot put a package properly in the hold of a vessel, or take it out without damage. It is a trade. And when a vessel arrives, the demand for the 'longshoremen is immediate and pressing. The rawj man cannot take bis place. There are 9,000 of these men. They have made the demand for forty cents an hour day work, and sixty for night work, and tbey are well organ ized to bold out. The steamship companies are trying to get other men, but the trouble is the skill. Novices make bad work of it The COOPERS arc still holding out, end are organ izing co-operative shops, that enough employment may be had to keep the strike from being a failure. Other occupations are banding tojrether, in most cases, however, to prevent threatened reduction of wages. There will be ineTitablv a great deal of TROUBLE AND SUFFERING in the city this winter. Labor, is very scarce now, and as the cold weather puts its veto on the !ittle building that is going on, more men wiil be thrown out at employment, and the trouble will uujrca.se. The city is a cruel place for a pjao oat of work; rent, food, fuel, everything costs so .much that when the daily labor that supplies it stops, starva tion or the accenting of charity is on ly a few weeks ahead. It costs a laborer all be can earn to-day to live io-aay ce cannot provide for the morrow when work stops. Heaven eip the poor this season! servants. One of ihe treat troubles in iha small towns aud citits of th foiintrr is to gel proirlv trained and dur. ted servants. This want ran nra be Euppiled at a triSing cost. A number of charitable ladies who have time and money more than they know what to do with, and some lit tle heart, established, a year or bo ago, a training-school, to fit girla for service, on Tenth street. Tbey take raw girls and teach them to cook, wash, iron, sew, to wait at table, and to do fM-rytbing that comes under the g i,Hral head of housework. The work .1 preparation is done in no slovrulv way. Twice a week a l'rciich cook-goes into the kitchen with all the girls, and delivers to i!ifm a lecture on the preparation of such dishes as he selects, illustrating by actually doing tho work before them, and making tbera do it. They run a laundry, a restaurant, and a dressmaking establishment in the house, to the end that it shall be, not only of use to the girls by teaching them their duties by actual practice, but that it shall be self-sustaining, which it is. The school has taken thousands of poor gHs who were starving because they did not know how to work, and has turned them out capable and intelligent and wor thy of good work and good wages anywhere. The manageress of this sensible chanty is Mr3. Julia Corson, and it 13 located at 47 East Tenth Street. A girl from this school is almost certain to be honest and capa b!e. Ilousekoepers in want of good trained servants will do well to make a note of it. -men BUILDINGS. The mania now running among those who build at all is altitude. Some years ao the Equitable Life Insurance Company ran up a building that loomed above anythiug else on lower Broadway, and since that height has run in the minds of every body. The new Tribune Duuaing is nine immense stones high, with tower almost touching the sky; tne new building of the Western Union Telegraph Company is almost as hiirh : the Domestic fccwing lacnine . .. .i . ti. I" Company 's eiBfnt; tne new i osi-oi- fice cannot be counted in stories, but it is an immense building, and so on The view of the city from the Jersey City Ferry is becoming particularly pleasant. These buildings, with the sen res of others, tower up above their surroundings, relieving wonder fully the monotonous uniformity which formerly wearied the eye. Those tall buildings do not pay in fact, every one of them is a dead loss above the fourth story; but, never theless, I hope the building of them will go on. They beautify the city, and the public get a benefit whether the proprietors do or not. It is a fact that none of these buildings pay three per ent. on the cost of con struction aud present price of ground ; but the proprietors all live in hope of the future. " Hope spring's eternal in the human breast" THANKSGIVING was more generally observed in the city than ever before. All business, except the saloons and restaurants, was suspended, ana tne day was de voted to jollity, hilarity, and what was better, charity. The various charitable institutions of the city were supplied with more than usual liberality, and every deserving poor person in the city got one good square meal. At the three mission bouses in the Five Points over 3,000 people were fed. The prisons all gave the inmates a special dinner, and all hos pitals, charities and all other institu tions did likewise. The newsboys' homes and lodging-houses bad a grand time. The Tittle ragamuffins were bathed, their hair combed, and their clothes dusted, and a good din ner givcu them, and for one day in the year they were happy. It is to the credit of tho citizens that, hard as the limes are, the contributions of provisions and other supplies were far beyond those of any preceding year. It went along way toward restoring confidence in hnman na ture, U see the enormous piles of meats, cakes,.bread, butter, and every other possible thing to eat, p'led up before the doors of the charities all the free gifts of citizens, and unso licited, except by the usual announce ments in the newspapers. There is some good in humanity yet. Services were of course held in all the churches, and to Hbe credit of New York let it be recorded that they Were all crowded. Possibly the extra decorations and the unusually superb music bad something to do with the attendance. The sermons were, as a rule, non sectarian, the pastors devoting them selves largely to the grandest of all the virtues charity. Beechcr's church was literally jam med, and thousands were turned away. Business being suspended all the strangers in the hotels wenv j to sec the hero of Ibe great scandal, which, in addition to the usual at tendance, made a mighty throng. BUSINESS continues to improve as the season goes on, much to the gratification of the merchants. Buyers begin to be absolutely lively, and something of the old time bas come back again. THE WEATHER is as pleasant as it can be. It is not especially cold, and the skies ara bright and the air bracing and healthy; consequently there is very little sickness in the city. If busi ness were only better, and employ ment for the laborers was net eo scarce, he season would be a delight ful one. but we can t have every thing. PlETBO. Masked Kohbera Capture!. Little Rock, November 30. On Wednesday night last Gve masked men entered a country store on the Petit Jean river in Yell county, about seventy miles xt&t of this city. Tbey shot and killed the proprietor and robbed the store. They then robbed a trading boatlving in the river, afur which they decamped. The sheriff and a posse started, two coming to ward Little Rock and three going in another direction. The sheriff fol lowed the two first mentioned and overtook tbcm yesterday morning sixteen milts above. A general Gght ensued, in whiib the sheriff was shot and badly wounded by the rob bers, wbo in turn were both badly wounded by the fcberiTa posse and captured, brought to this city tod lodged in jail. The sheriff will prob ably recover. Frosts Daih. Cleveland, November 30. The scov IVarl, of Fairport, loaded with lumber, came aj-bore at Geneva, Ohio, this tsoroiog.

Nothing was found on board to indicate where the scow was from or where bound. Kara a City. Parker's Landing, Pa., Decem ber 3. The Hebrew, Graffo witch, in whose building the fire at KarnsCity yesterday originated, fled from town while the fire was in progress and was nowhere to be found. It was this fact, coupled with rumors of previous suspicious conduct on his part, which led to his being suspect ed of being the incendiary, lo-day Graffowitch returned to Karns City and appeared on the Btreets. He was at oncesiezed by. an indignant mob of several hundred citizens, who fastened a rope around his neck aud, by it, led him through the -town. It was their deliberate purpose to bantr bini after they had made a suf ficient exhibition of him to warn all persoua of the determination of the people to be rid of incendiaries. While the prccessioj was rrnnmg through the Btroets, however, the officers of the law came to the cloth ier's rescue. They demanded his body at the hands of his too-hasty executioners, that he might hare the benefit of a trial by a legal jury. The citizens, after due reflection, conclu ded to need the demani of the law, and somewhat reluctantly surren dered their prisoner, who' was subse quently bound over for trial and du ly committed. The feeling against the accused may be proved to be wholly unfounded in fact, but it is unquestionably very bitter and gen eral at present A Mwsterloiia Cnmm f FoUlK 'rbadl. ScttA.VTO.v, December 3. A whole family were found poisoned at Car bondale at noon to-day. The vic tims are a man named Ludwiqk, his wife and child about a year old. Some of the neighbors shortly be fore noon, seeing tbat none of the family were astir, forced open the door, and on going np stairs beheld a horrible spectacle. The features of man and wife were distorted by the throes of death, while the infant was at its mother's breast, unconscious of the awful fate of its parents. Medi- cnl aid was promptly called, and after application of restoratives, tbo husband and wife rallied a little, but the latter died within an hour. The husband struggled on until this even ing, when he also died. The infant still lingers in pain.

Terre Hacte, Ind., November 30, At Cloverdale, in Futnam county, Indiana, yesterday, a man named Thomas Martin became offended at something 6aid by his wife and gave her three minutes to retract. At the end of tbat time he stood in the door of the house and shot her with a pistol, the ball taking effect in her head, and killing her instantly. A man named Stanton was in the house and interfered to save the woman, when Martin shot him in the shoul der. He is expected to die. The wife cf Martin had her babe in her arm wnen sne was snot and tell bacV dead clasping it. It is not be lie v-d that Martin made any charge of infidelity against his wife. He had been trying to get rid of her, and bad offered her Gve hundred dollars if she would consent to be divorced from him, as he wanted to marry another woman. After the shooting, Martin pretended to be crazy, aud went about telling that he killed a man named Harris, whom he had nut touched at all. Terrible Accident. Fall Uiver, Mass., December 4 A terrible accident occurred this afternoon near Slade'a Ferry, where the Old Colony Railroad Company are constructing a bridge across Taunton River. While workmen were engaged in sinking a pneumat ic cylinder, which is to form a por tion of the pier, the upper flange of the air lock, to which the lower was secured, together with the cover, was blown off by the pressure of the air in the cylinder. Eight men were on the cylinder at the time of the explosion, three of whom were killed, one fatally injured, one seriously in jured,- and three escaped uninjured. ! Railroad Trains Pin nee Int Ibe .

The accommodation train on the North ern Central railroad which lvft this city at 3:35 this afternoon, and Cock eysville accommodation for Balti more, met on the iron bridge over Lake Roland, seven miles from this city, and while passing the bridge an iron structure gave way. The engines of both trains crossed safely. but the tenders and baggage cars of each plunged into the water, followed by the smoking cars, the ends of which were partly submerged. One passenger, Mr. Young, of Woodbur ry, Baltimore county, was killed Engineer Purdy, of the Cockeysville train, and conductor Harris, on the yard train, are reported jnjured. A Terrible Dlaasaler.

At an early hour tbid mornin? the office of the Mingo Iron Works Com pany, at Mingo Junction, three mile3 west of hre, was entered by burg lars, who cut a hole in the safe with a chisel and sledge and put in a heavy cfiarjfe of powder or nitro glycerine, which exploded with ter- n&c force. 1 be large safe door, weighing about six hundred pounds, was hurled through the front door of the office, alighting about forty fret dtaat. The windows were all blowu out and the heavy walls of the building so badly damaged us to render tbem useless. After the ex plosion the burglars ieturued and carried off about one hundred and fifty dollars in money, four watches worth two hundred dollars, and some sixteen thousand dollars in notes. The latter have since been found oa the river tank. This being pay day at the works, the burglars probably expected to find a large amount of money io the safe. The total loss is about two thousand five hundred dollars. There is no clue to the burg lars. Tbree Xi(ro Inrendiarlta Hanged by Mob. Louisville, Kt 1 comber 4.
