Small rox prevails to en alarm ing extent in New York City, and tbe Board of Ilealth Las appointed in spectors, who are competent medical gentlemen, in various districts of tie city as a corps of vaccinators under the supervision of an experienced physieian. The Greensburg Republican and Democrat suecests tbe 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. It is being extensively published that John W. Forney is to be ep Dointed Minister to Russia. We a hope not. He is not lacking in ca pacity, but he is not entitled to this mark of confidence from the Admin istration. He tried his level best in 1S72. to elect Ruclalevv 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 ofS 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 6econd Tuesday of January next. General McCandless, Secre tary of Interna Affairs, and Just'is F. Temple, Auditor General, wiil not take their places before Msy next, when the terms of the present incum bents eipire. I .The 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 1SC5 treason was beaten and crushed; iu 1874 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 treason. Every rebel here is saying, t!ie North has come over to us at last.'" There seems to be much dietreM prevailing among the laboring classes in Luzerne county, and other adjacent p '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 oal, there is very little doing at the illeries in this usually busy reason. Thousands arc in idleness, without any means of obtaining work, and the distress is very great The Mayor of Scranton writes to a cotcraporary that all the means of relief in that city are exhausted, and he fears, as winter advances, that the suffering will become extreme. The Baltimore American says: "Judge Black has written a letter in relation to the Pennsylvania Sena torsbip, in which he sayt: '1 have not nominated myself ns a candidate for Senator, but certain friends in different parts of the State have sug gested that I ought to be chosen, aDd 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 tojbe probabil ities of his election, be suggested if tbe Legislature was left to its own spontaneous choice, that a clear ma jority would vote for him, but evi dently thinks Lis chances small, be cause be has "neither time, taste nor talent for personal solicitation; nor skill in the arts by which caucus nominations -are secured." The rumors that have been preva lent since the election, that Hon. Wm. P. Schell would contest for the seat In the Senate to which Col. E. D. Yutxy was elected, have at last taken shape, notice of contest having been served on the Colonel a few days since. 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 regarding the alleged stood d of contest, the case ia excrutiatingly thin. Tbe principal hope of the contest ant ia based upon an informality in the mode of supplying the place of an absent officer of the election board in Milford township, but of course a drag-net has been spread over tbe entire county, with the hope of rakj ing in a few doubtful or illegal votes. To us it looka like a very reckless at tempt on the part of the contestant to procure a temporary scat, in the Senate for the puipose of castiar a tallot for a favorite Democratic can didate for U. S. Senator. We for Var all comment upon tbe merit of the case until it has been developed .-More the Court. The vote of the Prohibitionists of this State at the late election was: Bradford, .S52 rarson, 6,235 Cutbertson, 5,75G The ofiicial majorities for the lem ocraCic candidates st the November election were: Latta, over Olmsted, , 4,079 Temple, over Allen, 4,094 McCandless, over Bealb, 4,025 It thus appears says the Adams Star and Sentinel 1st, that tbe Dem ocratic candidates are elected by a plurality vote, not br a majority of all the votes polled; 2d, that the Pro hibitionists have defeated tbe State ticket of the Republican party, help ing to beat Gen. .Death, an out-an-out temperance man. Next winter Mr. Black and his State Committee wiil be making frantic appeals to temperance Repub licans to come to Hamburg and prevent the repeal of local option ! They will be likely to let him fight out the battle ou tbe line ce bos c osen. Col. Thomas A. Scott only re quires the trifle of $70,000,000 to complete his Texas Pacific road. This amount he proposes to raise on forty year bond.-?, at f ve percent in terest, payable in gold, and he in tends to ask Congress to guarantee his bonds. This is a very modest re quest to come from a "railroad king," and we presume will be cheerfully granted oy me peoples- rejni-or na tives at Washii:onon. As, however, this is the short session of Cougress, and the national finances require some little attention, we trust the sugges tion will not be considered offensive, that this little transaction be postpon ed tiil the next Congress, when the representative of tue I'ennsyivauia railroad from this district will have an opportunity to support it. It was the allegation that Col. Scott wanted him in Congress to sup port this very bill, that proved so po tent an argument in Lis oenaii 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 R SEW YOKK LETTER. New York, Dec. 7, 1874. UNLICENSED LIQUOR DEALERS. The souls of the liquor dealera of this city are being agitated just now by the action of the Excise Commis sioners, wno are nuntingaown mose who sell the ardent without proper license. The liquor dealers' Protec tive Union resisted the law; but in the test case the court went against them, and. wide-spread consternation ensued, as well it might, as not one in the thousands ofsf.loons in the city ever took out a license. The decision of the court makes every one of them liable to Leavy penalties, and tbe police are determined to bring them to the score, no matter at what cost. They hope tc close about a thousand of them by 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 young man recently pur chased two seal-skin coats, costing severally $500 and $900, and two Ulster coats, 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 has 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 lor a suit, Add to tbis the diamond studs, tbe ring, the watch, and tbe otber adornmcuts, and Charles Augustus manages to carry about with him the best end of $2,000, which has to be renewed very frequently. But, nevertheless, they have cut down tbe $C25 salaries of tbe poor teachers seven per cent, and are standing out against the 'longshoremen, who want enough wages to keep soul and body togeth er. Speaking of the 'longshoremen, Their strike is general, and em braces the many thousands of men who God their daily bread iu loading and unloading ships. It would seem the heighth of folly for any set of la borers to strike at tbe beginning of a long winter, but the '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 tbe 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. Tbe raw man cannot take his 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 hold out The steamship companies are trying to get other men, but tbe trouble is the skill. Novices make bad work of it The coortRs are still holding out, and are organ izing co-operative shops, that enough employment may be bad to keep tbe strike from being a failure. Other occupations are banding together, in most cases, however, to prevent threatened reduction of wages. There will be inevitably 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 little building that is going on, more men will be thrown cut of employment, and tbe trouble will increase. The city is a cruel place for a man out of work; rent, food, fuel, everything costs so much that when tbe" daily laoor mat supplies it stops, starva tion or tbe accepting of charity is on ly a few weeks ahead. It costs a laborer all he can earn to-day to live to-day be cannot provide for the morrow when work stops. Heaven help the poor this season! SERVANTS. One of the treat troubles ia the small towns aud eitits of the countrT is to get properly trained and educa ted servant". This want can now be euppiled at a trifling cost. A number of charitable ladies who have time and money more than tbey know what to do with, and some lit tle heart, established, a year or so ago, a training-school, to fit girls for service, on Tenth street. Tbey tako raw girls and teach theta to coek, wash, iron, sew, to wait at table, and to da wMibinfT that comes under the p " Tal head of honsewoii- The work of reparation is done in no slovfu! way. Twice a week a Freucii cock goes into the kitchen with all the cirls, and delivers to thpm a lpeture on tbe preparation of such dishes as he selects, illustrating by actually doiog the work before them, and making them do it They rua a laundry, a restaurant, and ft dressmaking establishment in the bouse, to the end that it fball be, not only of use to tbe girls by teaching them their duties by actual practice, but that it shall be self-sustaining, which it is. Tbe school ba3 taken thousands of poor gi-la who were starving because they did not know how to work, and has turned them out capable and intelligent and wor tbvof trood work and good wages anvwhere. The manageress of this sensible charity is Mrs. Julia Corson, and it is located at 47 fcast lentn Strwt. A cnrl from tbis scnool is almost certain to be honest and capa ble. Housekeepers in want of good, trained servants will do well to make a note of it HIGH BUILDI.NfiS. Tbe mania now running among those who build at alHs altitude. Some years ago the Equitable Life Insurance Company ran up a building that loomed above anything else on lower Broadway, and since that height has run in the tnind3 of every body. Tbe new Tribune building is nine immense stories high, with a tower almost touching tbe sky; the new building of tbe Western Union Telegraph Company is almost as high ; the Domestic Sewing Machine Companv 'S eight; the new Post-of- See cannot be countea in stories, out it is an immense building, and so on. The view of the citv from the Jersey City Ferry is becoming particularly pleasant. These buildings, with the sfnrps of others, tower up above their surroundings, relieving wonder fully the monotonous uniformity which formerly wearied the eye. Thnse tall buildincs do not pay in fact, every one of them is a dead loss above tbe 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 cent, on the cost of con struction and present price of ground ; but the proprietors all live in hope of the future. " Hope spring's eternal ia the human breast." THANKSGIVING was more generally observed in the city than ever before. All'business, except tbe saloons and restaurants, was suspended, and tne day was de voted to jollity, hilarity, and what was better, charity. Tbe various charitable institutions of tbe city were supplied with more than usual liberality, and every deserving poor person in the city got one good square meal. At tbe three mission houses in tbe Five Points over 3,000 people were fed. The prisons all gave tbe inmates a special dinner, and all hos pitals, charities and all other institn- tions did lmewisc. ine newsooys- homes and lodging-houses bad a grand time. Tbe little ragamuffins were bathed, their hair combed, and their clothes dusted, and a good din ner eiven them, and for one day in the Tear they were happy. It is to the credit of tbe citizens that, hard as tbe times are, the contributions of provisions end other. supplies were far beyond those of any preceding year. It went along way toward rcstcrinsr confidence in human na ture, to see the enormous piles of meats, cakes, bread, butter, and every other possible thing to eat, piled up before the doors of the charities all the free gifis 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 the credit of New York let it be recorded that they were all crowded. Possibly the extra decorations and the unusually superb anusic bad something to do with the attendance. Tbe sermons were, as a rule, non sectarian, tbe pastors devoting them selves largely to the grandest of all the virtues charity. Beecber's church was literally jam med, and thousands were turned away. Business being suspended, all tbe strangers in the hotels wenv to see the hero of the great scandal, .which, in addition to tbe usual at tendance, made a mighty throng. BUSINESS continues to improve as the season goes on, much to tbe gratification of tbe merchants. Buyers begin to be absolutely lively, and something of tbe old time bascome back again. THE WEATHER is ns pleasant as it can be. It is not especially cold, and the 6kies are 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 not so scarce, ,he season would be a delight ful one. But we can't have every- thins PlETRO. Hanked Bokhara Captared. Little Rock, November 30. On Wednesday night last five masked men entered a country store on tbe Petit Jean river in Yell county, about seventy miles west of tbis city. They shot and killed the proprietor and robbed the store. They then robbed a trading boat lying in tbe river, after which tbey decamped. Tbe sheriff and a posse started, two coming to ward Little Rock and three going in another direction. Tbe sheriff fol lowed the two first mentioned and overtook them yesterday morning sixteen miles above, a genera fight ensued, in which the sheriff was shot and badly wounded by tbe rob bers, wbo in turn were both badly wounded by the sheriff's posse and captured, brought to tbis city and lodged in jail. The sheriff will prob ably recover. Frasen ta Etaath. Cleveland, November 30. The scow Pearl, of Fairport, loaded witb lumber, came ashore at Geneva. Ohio, tbis morning. On board were found the body of a man supposed t be J Graham, of Fairport, and the body of a boy about fourteen years old. both evidently frozen to death. Tbe bodies wefe completely cov eted with ice. The boy was lashed to the rigging. The scow is a total wreck and has the appearaoce of having been run into. Nothing waa found on board to indicate where the scow was from or where bound. Ktm City. Parker's Landing, Pa., Peceni- ber 3. Tbe Hebrew, UraSowitcn, in whose building tbe fire at Karns City yesterday originated, fled from town while tbe fire waa in progress na was nowhere to be found. It was this fact ceuoled with rumors of Drevious suspicious conduct on Lis part, which led to his being suspect ed of being tbe incendiary. Tp-day Graffowitch returned to Karns City and appeared on the streets. He was at once siezed by an indignant mob of several hundred citizens, who fastened a rope around his neck and, by it, led him through the town. It was their deliberate purpose to hang bim after they had made a suf ficient exhibition of bim to warn all persons of tbe determination of tbe people to be rid of incendiaries. While tbe procession was moving through the streets, however, the officersof the law came to the cloth ier's rescue. They demanded his body at the hands of his too-hasty executioners, that he might have the benefit of a trial by a legal jury. Ibe citizens, after due reflection, conclu ded to heed the demand or the law and somewhat reluctantly eurren dered their prisoner, who was subse quently bound over for trial and du lv committed, ice leeiinr agains the accused may be proved to be wholly unfounded in fact, but it is unquestionably very bitter and gen era! at present H.riHiMi tun sf relsvalnr at Carbo4l.

Tbe vie tims are a man named Ludwick, his wife and child about a year old Some of the neighbors shortly be fore noon. Beeinjr that none of tbe lamily were astir, forced open the door, and on going op stairs beheld a horrible spectacle. The features of man and wife were distorted by the throes of death, while tbe infant was at its mother's breast, unconscious of tbe awful fate of its parents. Medi cal aid was promptly called, and after application of restoratives, the 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. When the hus band was partially restored to con sciousness he said that someoouv gave himself and wife a draught from a bottle. V e both drank it. be added, but he could not be induced to say any more up to a late hour this even- lntr. jNociueto tne mystery couia be obtained. ReYOllinf Wife-Murder In Indiana. Terre Uacte, Ind., November 30 At Clovcrdale, in Putnam county, Indiana, yesterday, a man named Thomas Martin became offended at something said by his wife and gave her three minntes to retract At the end of that time he stood in the door of tbe house and shot her with a pistol, the ball taking effect in her bead, and killing ber instantly. A mau named Stanton was in the house and interfered to save tbe woman. when Martin shot him in the shoul der. He is expected to die. The wife of Martin had her babe in her arms when she was shot and fell back dead clasping it It is not be lieved that Martin made any charge of infidelity against his wife. lie bad been trying to get rid of her, and had offered her five 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 be had not touched at all. Terrible Aeeldent. Fall River, Mass., December 4. A terrible accident occirred tbis afternoon near Slade's 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 tbe pier, the upper flange of the air lock, to which tbe lower was secured, together with tbe cover, was blown off by tbe pressure of tbe air in tbe 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.

The accommodation train on the North ern Central railroad which left this city at 3:35 this afternoon, and Cock eyfcville 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 cats of each plunged into the water, followed by tbe smoking cars, the ends of which were partly submerged. One passenger, Mr. Young, of Woodbur ry, Baltimore county, was killed. Engineer Turdy, of the Cockeysville train, and condmctor Harris, on tbe yard train, are reported injured. A Terrible Dlaaalcr.

M. to-tfay an alarm oi ure was j sounded and Haines were seen issuing j from the clothing store of a Jew, named Graffowitcb. Tie fire d partment was soor the ground, but owing to the scarcity of water the fumes soon gained beau way and, before assistance could be obtained from other places, the greater part of tbe town was in ruins. Some of the principal buildings burned are Adrian's buiiard room, loss $1,300; Central Hotel, $2,200; Karns City drug store, $3,000; Post office and boot and shot; store, $2,500; Exchange Hotel, $2,500; Star iron works, $1,SG0; Todd's restaurant, $2, 000; Scott & Clyruer, clothiux, $2,000; Meat Market, $.550; Kirns Citv Lauk, $2,000; Brown's hardware store, $5, 000; J.

Of the amount insured on the burnt district we have been unable to learu. It is the smaller merchants, those 'who lived in the same buildings which contained tbeir goods, that are greatest sufferers, for they are home less many of tbem. penniless. A hundred families are now in (be open air, keeping watch over tbe few household goods which tbey have been able to save from the devouiinr element. What will become of tlem during the coming winter, God only knows. The fi-e is thought to be the -vork of an incendiary, and many circum stances point toward a certain mer chant as the person who perpetrated tbe diabolical deed, by which so many of the poor people of this town are homeless to-night. . There w as much suffering antici pated the coming winter in tbe oil regions, and this disastrous nre win make it much more intense in this section. IndJaaACalra. Chicago, December 5.

The four compa nies of the Eighth Cavalry ore at Adobe walls. The troops have suf fered somewhat for want ef clothing. If forage gives out Miles will move, on or about the 10th, across the head waters of the creeks emptying into tbe north fork of Red River, to the head waters of the main Red River, meeting there the higuth Cavalry, who are directed to move fifty miles up the Canadian, thence south, to meet his command. It is geucrally believed that ths Indians who are till out have taken refuge in the ra ines near the head wat?rs of Red liver. If Miles had forage ho would start to-day. The horses and mules are thin in flesh, but otherwise in good condition. Kafe-Bnriclarjr ar Ktenbenfille. Stecbenville, O.. December 5.

After tbe ex plosion the burglars ieturned and carried off about one hundred and fifty dollars in money, four watches worth two hundred dollars, and some sixteen thousand dollars in notes.
