Tbe following from the Pittsburgh leader
of a remit date will prove interesting read
ing to many of lite Uiuu'i older subscrib
ers, wbo rill be glad to learn of the good
fortune that baa fallen to an old friend :
".Sitae months ago C S. Fettarman Esq ,
received a letter frora a lawyer ia Wilkra-
banc, asking for information aa to the j iaot wirh a superb army of stars, the bright
whereabouts of the widow of a certain Jas. ! est that look down frum the star-depths.
D. Alexander, who fenaerty lived ia Pitts-
burgti. and intimating that something of
importance was awaiting the lady, ii alive.
The jti'Ure being otherwise engaged placed
the letter in the hands of Win. Jl. Price,
Esq., who ocrupied the same rooms with
the judge, iir. Price at once went to work,
and after almost unlimited searching and in
quiry, (fund that James D. Alexander re
moved, when quite young, from bis borne
in Xaiiticuke, Loxerne county, to this city
about 1344. and secured a situation as clerk
in the Old Bank Exchange reataursut, on
Third avenue. Ho waa ouly there a short
time atitil he purchased the busiueaa from
its liMrn Owner, Ht. Uawkius, who is still
living. In lMi he uiarried a Hum Authotiy,
a dki estimable and beautiful girl from
StMiM-rset county, I'l-, by whom he had two
children. Mr. Aleianir made money very
fast, as his restaurant was then the Dual
popular resort in the city tjr diuners, luoch
es. etc., and was patiuuixcd by many of the
leading ciliania. He was. also a popular
member of the Vigilant Hose Company, as
well as other orjramiatiotis in the city. In
l"ol while Working at a large fire he cut his
iuot in knocking in a window either to rescue
a party in the room or get a belter position
to tight I lie fire, it is uot certain which. lie
did not pay much attention to the wound
! fur a few days when it developed into a bad
eaaeot lock -jaw, which soon lerniiuated his j
life ; Mrs. Alexander was thus left early in
life a widow, and suoo thereafter lost both I
berchiidren aud all her property, and was )
more than doubly bereaved. Btie then dis-
appeared and nothing furtbereould be found

cating tliat it was a bakery. Tpon going in

thus enabling bira to see his shallow, he re

In the Catholic tburca it is Known as me ,

. The failure to obtain license seems to
meet with general favor. Of course those
who would be benefitted by license are not
pleased, but the majority of our citizens are.
O ie thing certain, the peace and quiet of
the town lias been greatly improved by
having no license. It is unfortunate, how"
ever. that Petersburg has a double portion
of license.
The time for holding municipal elections

Tbe politicians of both parries are al- j
ready fienring opoa the eor.tml of the F fly- ;
t!r-t Coogress. The aituatiou in the Senate
is a decidedly interesting one. The repub
lican margin is ms uncomfortably dose, '
there being a majority of only two. counting ,
Eiddleberarr. But he ia absolutely unrelia
ble, voting with the Democrats as often as
with the Republicans, and voting aii by ,
himself more frequently still. When lie .
goes with the Democracy the Seoat ia, of j
course, a tie.
T'.e possible Senate cban?es in the Fifty-
firsi Cungressare not numerous, Barbuor, a
Dem jcrat, succeeds Riddlebergcr. tieing the r
Seoa'.e, in case no other gains or losses oc- i
cur. I:i that event the control of tde Itenate
will dcoend upon wbichever party e!ects th
next Vice Presideat. Tlie probjibilities.
hosrever. verr mmnr &vor the election of
a Republican William Walter I'heips. from
the Present outlook iu place of McPlierson,
if the present large Repuhlioui majority in
the Xew Jersey Lefislature can be taken as
aa indication of what tbe complexion of tte
next Legislature is likely to be. There is
no probability of the R"puoiican gaining a
Senator elsewhere titan in New Jersey with
in tbe next two years. On the other hand
there is a poibi!ity that the Democrats wiil
gain Senators in Oregon and Rhode Island,
in place of Dulph and Chance. However.
.the one Republican prJhility is worth in
j finitely more than the two Democratic pos
I sibiiities.
As to the control of the House, notinng
definitely can be said. The probabilities.
j nowever. are very sironjny in lavor w a r.c-
publican majority at tlie lower end of the
tapitoL A gain of ouly six er eilil votes
over the present Congress would place tiie
j Republicans in the ascendency ; and it :s
( di ttii nit to see where this gate, and even
la larger one. will come from. The new re
bellion in the South that from Cleveland

j nish the changes desired,

equally suereseftil in passing bis biil mere a- .
ing from foO to $72 per month tbe pension
for total helplessness. Both bills were taken i
up and passed out of order, and it is need
less to say that Senator Q lay is receiving a -giod
many orapiiments for tlie manner in
which he handled the two measures. Both'
bilU are reasonably certain to pa s tbe Hone ,
as both of them have tfie approval of the i
Commissioner of Pensions. ,
Washington is undoubtedly the Mecca for !
cranks. A western clergyman named Schaitz-
ler has rerently addressed a communication ,
to a large proportion of our Senators relative
to the next presidency, front which I am f
able to give the following exuact : "la

Charles Emery Smith, of the Philadelphia

Senator Cameron has not male a speech

The Senate is so far ahead of the Houe in
