min the House, on Wednesday, a
resolution was offered, and referred to the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, to the ef
fect that, in view of recent events, hu
manity dictates an early recognition of
Cuban independence ; that the continued
existence of African slavery on the island
is inconsistent with and injurious to the
civilization of the continent, and that it is
the duty of the United States Govern

overthrow.
ter Among the matters that will en
gross the attention of Congress at the pres
ent session will be the consideration of a
constitutional amendment changing the
method of electing the President and Vice
President. It does away with the Elec

vote direct for the .candidate far Presi

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.—BiIIs
looking to a modification of the law abol
ishing the franking privilege, so far as the
transmission of newspapers through the
mails are concerned, have already been
introduced in the Senate and it is possible
that newspapers may be permitted to cir
oulate free in the counties in which they
are published, as heretofore. A bill has
also been introduced in the Senate provid
ing for the resumption of specie payments
and free banking. Nice-President 'Wil

A is before the House to repeal the
bill of last March, fixing the salaries for

Also providing that at the expiration of

zrOn Thursday night last Mr. B. K.
Spangler, who—resides on South West
street, Carlisle, Pa., together with his fam
ily, came very near being suffocated by
gas from a coal stove in the following
manner : In one of the rooms on the
first floor is a stove, the heat-pipe of which
conn6Eith - theleetiing - appartments - on
the second floor, with a register. Shortly
before the family had retired for the night
the register was opened to allow sufficient
heat, in the rooms to make them comfor
table. Sometime during the night Mr.
Spangler was awakened • by one of his
children making a queer noise, and found
himself and the remainder of his family
almost smothered. Fortunately Mr. S.
had sufficient strength left him to reach
the front door of the house and call for
help. His brother who resides in the
house adjoining, on hearing his cries im
immediately proceeded to the assistance
of the sufferers, and found the sleeping
apartment entirely impregnated with coal
gas, and the inmates almost suffocated.
A physician was procured who adminis
trated the necessary medical restoratives
and in a short time the sufferers had al
most entirely recovered. This was a
most fortunate escape from death, and
should serve as a warning to others to
see that stoves are properly adjusted be
fore they retire for the night.— herald.
SHOULD ARRESTED.—On Thanks
giving morning, says the Ebensburg Her
ald, a young married man, named Jesse
Hoffman, who resides at Loyd's station,
iu White township, left his home before
daylight in company with a man, a com
parative stranger in that section, for the
'purpose of visiting Altoona. He bad a
considerable sum of money about his per
son which he was to pay over to a party
in Altoona. Failing to return to his
home after a reasonable laps of time, a
party was dispatched to Altoona to ascer
tain if he was there. The party to whom
Hoffman was to pay the money was firit
visited, when it was ascertained that he
had not been there.
In the course of a week, the stranger
with whom Hoffman had gone away re
turned, and upon being questioned in re
regard to the whereabouts of Hoffman he
stated that the last he saw of him was in
New York. There are other circumstan
ces connected with this affair which are
highly suspicious of foul play, and which
we think it better to be withheld from
publication for the present. They are
sufficient, however, to demand the imme
diate arrest of this stranger, whose name
we have not ]earned. If he has not been
arrested ere this he• should be at once.
The stranger is a Southerner, and is em
ployed in the capacity of a "striker" in a
blacksmith shop at Loyd's station.
Zir Another of the props on which the
wretched Talderzook leaned has been ta
ken from him. One delusive hope still
remains, and when that vanishes he must
prepare to meet his fate with whatever
fortitude he can command. On Saturday
he was brought into Court at West Ches
ter to hear Judge Butler's decision upon
the motion for a new trial, which was
argued some days since. The motion
was cverruled, and the awful sentence of
death was pronounced. The prisoner's
counsel wade some inquiry as to the prop
er form of .a bill of exceptions, to be taken
to the Supreme Court, but it is doubtful
whether this will be done. An impres
sion prevails at West Chester that Udder
zook will soon make a. full' confession.

beautiful American scenery, it would be
difficult to find two, more picturesque or
charming views, unlike as nature in her
varying moods, yet appropriate companion
pieces.
The view in the White Mountains gives
the beholder a grand and sublime scene
of the most famous region in New England,
a picture which is filled with the very spirit
of the region. • The top of the principal
mountain is surrounded by clouds of mag
ical beauty, which add life to the scene,
indicating, as they do action. The picture
is one of the elements—earth, air, water
thrown together by' the hand of the great
artist. Such a picture is always fresh, and
never grows dull.
The picture is exceedingly brilliant,
but none too much so for the heart of the
Great American Desert, where this scene
is laid. The foreground of this picture is
very rich, and the study of trees is delicate
and natural. One may carefully exam
in-e=th-eil-fwhole-list=of- chromes offed to

Governor Whyte has decided the appli

ernor .has determined that the course of
law shall he carried out, and in conformi

execution of Davis. The day fixed upon
is Friday, the 6th of February next. The
warrant is directed to the sheriff of Carroll
county, the county in which the murder
was committed. The Governor has also
issued the warrant for the execution of
Wm. H. McCotter, convicted of murder
in the first degree of his father-in-law, Ro

sheriff of which county the warrant is di

ELECTION DAY.—Not much more than
half the usual vote was polled here on
Tuesday, but little interest being manifes
ted in the election. The majority against
the New Constitution was 22.
According to latest reports the Consti
tution has been adopted by a large ma
jority in the State. Had the election been
deferred until the regular spring election
day. a much larger vote would have been
brought out and the result possibly re
versed.
Stint will be seen by reference to a
card in to-day's paper that Dr. A. H.
Strickler, Chief Burgess, by authority
from the Town Cimucil, has deputized
Nylin. F. Horner, John H. Herr and Jno.
Fr: Miller, to assist Constable Robinson,
in preserving order upon our streets after
nightfall. At times of late our town has
been very disorderly, and all good citizens
will regard this action of the Council and
Burgess as necessary and therefore com
mendable.
Such exhibitions of rowdyism as was
enacted on Church Street one evening last
week is a reproach to the community and
should not be tolerated in the future.

NOT TO BLAME.—We stated in our last

us to discontinue it. It, appears about
the time to which Mr. B. bad settled his
account, a year and nine mouths since, he
left that place requesting the paper to be
returned to us, but the P. M. failed to
give us the customary notice. So we ac
quit Mr. B. of any fraudulent intentions.
WHEAT WANTED.—It will be seen by
reference to his advertisment in to-day's
paper that Mr. David Patterson purposes
spending the winter in our midst and will
continue to pay the highest market price

the miners and railroad men have their

Ready from the first moment of danger
to take either dread alternative, "fight or

for members of his crew who were innocent
ofany offence. All things possible he ar
ranged for, and when the time came he
marched fearlessly to his death. The
night before his execution he wrote several

them one to his wife, which we think equal
in pathos and tenderness any composition
we have ever read. Well might any man
wish that in his last hours, if he had dread

find heart to sit down calmly and say to
dear ones miles away un'!onscious of his

PARIS, December 12.—The decision of
President MacMahon in the case of Ba
zaine is announced this morning. The
- sentence — dewagainst the Mar
shal is commuted to twenty years' seclu
sion. He is to bear the effects of degra
dation from rank, but will be spared hu
militating ceremony.
Marshal Bazaine addressed a letter to
his counsel yesterday, thanking them for
their efforts in his behalf, and concluding
as follows :
la not appeal against the sentence,
not wishing to prolong in the eyes - of the
world the spectacle of such a painful
struggle. I request you to take no fur
ther steps. I look no longer to men for
judgment. Strong in •my conscience ,
which reproaches me with nothing, I
confidently await justification, which will
come with the laps of time and the sub
sidence of party passions."
The Conservative press generally ap
_prove °Nile commutation of the sentence.
The Simla says it will create •a painful
surprise in the country.
TM island of Sainte Marguerite, off Ca
nnes, has been selected as the place of con
fmeinent for Marshal Bazaine, and he will
be sent there this week. The Marshal
received the news of the commutation of
his sentence without emotion.

pitched its camp-soon after at Hesban, in

im.The Court of Pardons of New Jer

petition of Louis 'AValdenburger, of Egg
Herber City, until the next session of the
court. It is stated that the prisoner, who
has been confined in State Prison for four
teen years for the murder of his child,
knew that his wife committed the murder,
and would not divulge until after his wife's
death, which took place a short time ago
He was sentenced to be hung but the
sentence was commuted to imprisonment
for life, because the evidence on which he
was convicted was entirely circumstantial.
His petition bears the signatures of the
lawyers who were present at his trial, and
ten of the twelve jurymen, besides a large
number of the prominent citizens of the
vicinity. One of the other two jurymen
is dead, and the other left for parts un•
known ten years ago.

county, New York State. It was made
from 21,000 pounds of 'Milk, and at first

fe — Engiueers say it will take twenty
days to raise the sunken coal barge now
lying before the Spanish steamer Arapiles
in dock at New York, preventing that ves

there, about the time the steamer was

unreasonable enough to insinuate, that
the "accident" was intended to keep the
