M.try's Gazette: We are informed that on Saturdy last at the tannery at Sterling a terri ble accident happened which caused the death of James Clark, a brother of oue of the owners of the tannery. He was grinding bark at thn time, when hy some menns he bcame en tangled in the machinery which lifted him up over the hopper and hi feet getting into it litterully ground them both off. lie lived but a short time after the accident occurred. The re mains were brought to this place on Tuesday lust for burial. Quite an excitement wa occasioned on yesterday evening by the report that Mr. Lawrence Fochtman had shot bis wife. The occurrence took pfare on the street near the residence of the mother of tlio woman. Mr. Fochtman, it veeins, went to the resi dence of hi mother-in-law and inquir ed f r his wife. He was informed that she had gone to the store. He imme d'm te It started toward the' stnrj;, and on the road met his wife. It is alleged be then drew a revolver and fired four .shots at htr, two of thcra taking ef fect, one in the arm, and one in the hand. The injuries sustained are not of a serious nature. FochtmaH imme diately fled, and thus far, ha evaded arrest. Michael Flinn, who lias been work ing at Emery' camp, for some months past, until recently, came to St. Mary' to stop until "driving" time He suf fers with temporary, insanity. On Monday last, alter having taken sever ni nrings ne ret ren to nen, as the landlord supposed, but shortly af r Vfcird he jumped out of the window to the sidewalk, a distance of ahout twen ty-five feet. His ankle was badly in jured. We are informed that about a year ago he jumped from the uppe story of the rJk. hotel, in this place, and also, we are informed, made a leap of forty feet in Lock Haven some time ago. Hitherto iu hia perilous feats he lias sustained no injury. He is an in offensive mail, and most of tlio time appear to he perfectly rational. His friends should take some precautions to prevent him from exercising his proclivities for jumping, a he may do himself an injury which will be fata; to us enect. The Oil City Derrick say that Mr. E. Fuller, a few days since, was ranht in the band wheel of the en cine at hi well, on the flata, and thrown with such force as to render liim insensible.

They appear all at once to have become convinced that our claim for loss caused hr their cruiser, tailing under the Confederate flag.are alarming in extent.and will be insisted upon before the Genera Board of Arbitrators. There must be an impression also, that those claim are likely to be allowed, in which event Engnland'a debt will be sud lenly ami enormously enlarged. The rumors come thick ant fast that the press.Gov erument, and the people unite in a de mand that the Washington Treaty shall be annulled, or that our claim for damages shall be modified. This appear like idiocy on the part of Eng. land, for if our claims are just, they ought to be paid, and if unjust, there U not much probability of their beii g allowed by the arbitrators. Preside!. Grant is firm, and insist thnt th Geueva confereuce i aimilar in it na ture to a court of equity, and that we have the manifest right to make what ever claim for damages we please. It . is for the court alone, to decide upon their justice The eouutry will sustain the President in this view, at all hazards, and , England ruiwt abida hy the provisions of the Wash ington treaty, 'or submit the question between us to that more terrible alter native the arbitrament of the (word. With such a possible prospect before us, it becomes us to examine well into our position and our ability to cope wuu such a formidable power ae Great Britain. Iu this connection we re mark first, that it was made public on ly a few day ago, that no less than fifty-three of our war vessels, among them several monitor and iron clad are ready to go to sea at once. Em- laud' commerce would, in a brief time be swept from the ocean, and her p iwer would be crippled at single blow. Canada would doubtless fur nish the battle grouuds for the land forces, whilst "Ould Ireland" wouid make a bold strike for independence. But we desist ; all good citizen would adly deplore a war with Eugtand, a- it wui(i oe terrible in its results. Y trust that the roused British lion will yet fiud it wise to submit to peaceful arbitration. Pittsburgh QuteUa. The following in regard to theroatJ ter occurs in the Queen speech : The arbitrator appointed pursuant to the treaty of ashington for the purpose of amicably settling the Ala bama claims held their first meeting in Genrva. Base were laid before the arbitrators in behalf of each party to the treaty. Iu the case so submitted by the United State large claim are Deluded which are understood ou uiv part not to be within the province of he arbitrators. On thi subject I have caused a friendly communication to be made to the Government of the United State. The Etmierorof Ger many has undertaken to arbitrate on the Sau Juan watet boundary, and the ae ot the two governments have been presented to his Imperial Majesty. The Commission to sit at Washington has been apjMiiuted and is in session. the provisions of the treaty which re quire the consent of the Parliament of the Dominion of Cauada await it as sembling.
