PAINFUL ACCIDENT.-A few days ago, Mrs

time before she was discovered by her friends.
VISIT OF NEW Ottimarts FIREMEN.--It is said
that a battalion of firemen from New Orleans,
()dm posed of one engine, one hose, and one
*uck company, intend to visit the principal
- °,o4les of the North and West, in the ensuing
:r. sting ,
Among the places they contemplate

course the firemen of this city will give their
tithern brethren a handsome reception and

- "THE YOUNG Vnnow," words by an unknown
ilathor, music by Mr. lieury C. Orth, of this
Otty, is the title of a new piece of music just
blued by Marsh, of Philadelphia, inscribed to
the local editor of this paper. It is pronounced
• competent judges to be a highly creditable
;production, and one destined to become popu

tained of the composer, Mr. Orth, at his resi
dence in Third street, below Market.

uring in Erie,and is discussing the question
whether our Israelitish brethren are right
eir interdict on pork as an article of food.

illu
ting purposes. Should these doctrines

inue to hold out as they have begun—our
ers will soon cease to be cultivated, except
heir bristles.
NGEROUS COUNTERFEIT.— Imitations . of
ine bank bills are occasionally sprung into
circulation, so well executed that the usual
Atodes of detection are almost put at defiance.
lipnnedy's Bank Note Review notices a counter
*it ten on the Bank of North America, at
Soston, Mass. So well is it executed, that the
k will have to withdraw its ten dollar bills
circulation at once, for there will be no
tribty in taking them. No doubt this counter
tioip,has been executed by the same hand which
cfrraosely imitated the hundred dollar bills of
11,4
4010 - 6 of the New England Banks a short time
agr. We say emphatically, refuse all ten dollar
bins on the bank of North America, Boston.

JN AvAi SLavEs.—One night recently a num
of rollaway negroes from the border corm
► of Maryland, passed through York county,
qbeir way to freedom. The next day they
pursued and captured in Adams county,
taken back to their old quarters No op

JRANCE OF Pomo Arrans.—lt is lament
that our business men in ordinary times

ANOTHER FLAG RJusED.—This was the day
designated by the Minnesota Legislature for
the raising of a large and beautiful American
flag over the State Capitol. Arrangements
had been made for a grand military and civic
parade, and the firing of a national salute, on
the occasion. Long may that flag wave, with
not a star or stripe obliterated.
SALTING THN STREETS.—It appears that salting
the streets is good for the doctors—as well as
the bootruakers. The chemical action of salt
causes snow to disappear rapidly ; in melting
it extracts heat from everything which it
touches. People walking, therefore, over the
salted sidewalk, get some of the salt upon
their feet, causing them to become intensely
cold, and ending generally in colds, coughs,
consumption and death.
CAUSE AND EFFitor.--About twelve o'clock
last night a poor victim of tanglefoot was
found lying on a stoop up Second street, in a
stupid condition from the combined effects of
whiskey and cold. The owner of the house
roused the fellow up and started him home--
But for- timely discovery he would have slept
the sleep •that knows no waking.. Lying
around loose these frosty nights, in an "obfus
cated" condition, is a dangerous experiment.
A PRTVATE HOP came off at a fashionable
Second street residence last evening, which is
said to have been a very gay and recherche af
fair. When we passed by at a late hour en
route for home, the fair women and brave men
seemed to be enjoying themselves immensely,
as they kept time with flying feet to the in
spiring music of the fiddle and the bow. Pri
vate hops and social parties are all the rage this
winter in fashionable circles, and thus far the
season has been an unusually gay one.
HARD UPON BRORKRS.-It looks very much
as though the Legislature of this State, would
act upon the recommendation of the State
Treasurer in his late report, to impose a much
heavier tax upon the profits of private bankers
and - brokers. A bill has been read in the House
and referred, which provides that all stock,
bill, echange and real estate brokers shall,
in December of each year, make under oath a
return of all, the profits accruing from their
business, and pay over to the Treasurer for the
use of the Commonwealth FOUR per cent. of
such profits.
THE SLFIGHINCI continues excellent, and those
who have the means and appliances fully *-
prove it. Sleighs of all descriptions; large
and small, whirl past our sanctum in quick
succession, and the air is resonant with the
bells of coursers whose
"- hoofs keep time to music's chime,
ds merrily on they bound."
Occasionally an omnibus sleigh glides by;
crowded fall of romping boys , and girls, with
bright eyes, rosy cheeks, and light hearts, the
very personification of happiness. A large
party of lads and lasses intend making an ex
cursion to Dauphia this evening; Kay they
have a good time. • .
A Cumous EXPEIUMBNT.—Some of our young
•. • - - 41...-drenowilmew-ontreialao
experiment, which we find described in an ex
change :
Place on a sheet of white paper a piece
of blue silk, about four inches in diame
ter, in the sunshine; cover the centre of
this with a piece of pink silk about, two
inches in diameter ; and the centre of the
pink silk again cover with another circle of
green silk, with a circle of indigo about half
an inch in. diameter ; in the centre of the
whole make a dot with a pen. Then look
steadily for a moment on this central spOt,and,
closing your eyes,•hold your hand *bout an
inch distant before them, and you will appear
to see the most beautiful circle of colors that
imagination can conceive, which colors will
appear not only different from the colors of the
silk, but will keep perpetually changing.
I=l
A NutsAns.—The practice of enow-balling
sleighs is a first class .nuisance. It may be
considered great fun by the youngsters, but is
exceedingly annoying to those who are obliged
to submit to the
.pelting. We have not only
observed small boys indulging in the sport(?)
but have also seen individuals who are old
enough to have more sense, waiting, with ball
in hand, for some luckless individual to come
along in a " jumper l " Now, it is not only very
unpleasant to have snow scattered all over you,
but should one of the balls happen to strike a
horse which is a little fractious, the result might
be very serious. Broken limbs, and perhaps
loss of life, might ensue. Therefore the prac
tice becomes dangerous and should meet with
proper attention from the police. We trust'
that a public example will be made of some of
the offenders.
Tunis or Sosararr.—The present period has
been called the age of gold, but our cotempo
rery of the Pittsburg Chronicle thinks it might
with equal propriety be styled the age - of scar
let. Whether this is due to the prevailing
military ardor we cannot say, but certain it is
that scarlet is the reigning favorite with the
fair sex this winter—the significant color of
the season. You have only to take your stand
on Market street, any pleasant afternoon, and
observe the ladies as they come tripping along
with their dresses sufficiently raised to exhibit
the flashing bars of their Balmorals, to be con
vinced of this. It-is varlet first, last and all
the time, with just enough of crimson now
and then to render the contrast striking. We
confess to a predilection in favor of scarlet. It
is a warm, bright color, and placed in relief
against the snow on our sidewalks, it has a gay
and festive effect which contrasts well with the
winter's grim and dreary barrenness. Some
people_ cherish an absurd prejudice against scar
let, associating. it ivith a heathenish notion of
some bad 1 Babylonish woman who is supposed
to have selected' it' for hei favorite color, and
worn. it on.. all occasions. Brit this proves,
nothing against . the shade itself. A bad wo
man may have very good _ taste; and as scarlet
is introduced into the tints of a fine sunset,
sometimes, with very great artistic success,
and helps to illuminate every' field and garden
with its rich glow in the proper season, we may
properly transfer a little of its brightness and
splendor to the Fedor, or even. to the, street,
when . nature has robbed us;of her beauty and
variety, and left us only the dull grey tints of
death and desolation. *

lution adopted by the House a few days ago to

Messrs. Huhn of Schuylkill, Wilson of Beaver
and Ellenberger of Northampton. The Senate
committee bas not yet been announced.
THINGS THAT ARE VERY FOOLISH.-A great
many foolish things axe said and done in the
world, among which an unknown writer classes
the following :—For a young man to think
that he does himself credit by hanging round
stores and taverns, smoking bad cigars, and
paying for whiskey and oysters, in order to be
called "liberal," by a clique of youths as soft
in the brain as himself. For a lady to be an
noyed because gentlemen do not always give
her the best half of the street and the nicest
seat in a public assembly. She should nog for
get that these conventional courtesies are not
her right any farther than they choose to con
cede them. For an unfledged clerk to think
he must buy extravagant gloves and cravats.
for every festive occasion, because Jones, whose
father is worth thirty thousand dollars, does
so. The best way of proving his manhood
would be to leave such things entirely alone.
'For a girl to stay away from a party because she
has worn all her dresses and can'thave a new one.
Isn't it something akin to self-conceit for her
to imagine that people have nothing to do but
to think about her and her dresses ? For a man
to be extra fastidious about colognes, diamond
finger rings, and scented pocket handkerchiefs,
and then set society at defiance with his tobac
co box and cigar case. For a girl-to think that
she is establishing her character as a young
lady of fashion, by allowing her mother to toil
through all the drudgery of the house, and
then investing her money in gaudy brooches
and artificial flowers. For a man to suppose
himself a gentleman because he touches his
hat to a party of splendidly dressed ladies,
while he scorns to extend a helping hand to
the old woman struggling across the street.
For a'simple working girl to buy imitation
jewelry, because her wealthy neighbor spends
a small fortune in the real. For an elderly
young lady to think she renews her bloom by
dressing in the style of sixteen, with pink roses
in her bonnet and ermine roses on her cheeks.
For an old bachelor to attempt to darn his own
stockings without a good stock of patience, or
to venture where there are a dozen pretty
girls !"
GEN. SIMON CAMERON. —As an evidence of the
feeling among the people of Blair county rela
tive to Mr. Lincoln's tender of a position in the
Cabihet to our distinguished fellow-citizen,
Rani) 111% Pamar „pm:L. fra
item from:the Hollidaysburg Register, of a. late
date. We may iemark, en passant, that the
sentiment prevalent in Blair county extends .
thrOughout the entire State. The Republicans
demand, as a matter of right and justice, that
the old Keystone shall be represented in the
Cabinet, and. with unexampled
.unanimity de..
signate Gen. Cameron as the man:---
HON. SIMON CAMERON.—This is Court week In
this county, and the occasion has afforded us a
favorable opportunity of gathering , public sen
timent in, regard to Mr. Lincoln's 'selection of
Gen. Cameron as a member of his cabinet; and
we gladly, make the announcement that our
people are almost unanimous in their approval
of it, regarding it as the best, both for Penn
sylvania interests and the country at large,
that could have been made. And as it is in
Blair county, so we doubt not, it is in the
larger portion of the State—Mr. Cameron is the
people's choice. • Attempts have been made, we
know, and perhaps are still making, to dra
goon the President into a reconsideration and
withdrawal of his voluntary tender of h place
to Mr. Cameron ; but they will not succeed.—
Mr. Lincoln is not to be driven about after that
faShion. He is a man of commanding firmness,
and what he says and does iu regard to such
matters may be set down as done and well done.
The Philadelphia Daily Record, a strictly
commercial journal, the editor of which is a
Democrat in politics, defends Gen. Cameron
against the secret assaults - made upon him in
certain circles, and comes out unequivocally in
favor of his selection as a Cabinet officer, for
the following well founded reasons :
No State in the Confederacy has so much
wealth and prosperity at stake ; none is so im
portant in population and internal resources,
and none so well entitled by position and in
terest, to a Cabinet, representation in the Fed
eral Government, as the Keystone State, and
that, too, independently of having cast her
Electoral vote for the dominant party. Her
claim to an early consideration is self-evident,
and we know of no man within her borders
who is-more entitled to the responsible posi
tion, or better fitted by habits and experience
for it, than Simon Cameron. Although a
shrewd and successful politician, be is-not a
politician only. He is one of the few public
men who, in addition to political sagacity,
possess the comprehensive ability and practical
experience necessary to control the financial de
partment of a great nation.
Mr. Cameron is warmly wedded and closely
connected with the most important interests of
the State of Pennsylvania, and no man is more
thoroughly familiar with her wants and the
various processes required to advance or to se
cure important rights and privileges. He has
ever been a sound and persistent advocate of a
protective tariff, and as the State voted for Mr.
Lincoln more upon a tariff basis than anything
else, her claims should become an imperative
dernand that the most important position in
the "new Cabinet he filled by a Pennsylvanian.
Simon Cameron commenced life,
at tho very
"bottom of the ladder," bat by energy and
unflagging perseverence he quietly and surely
ascended to his present position, and not only
accumulated property and wealth for himself,
but also managed and directed several monied
institutions and important works of internal
improvement, with the most signal ability and
success and the most unblemished business in
tegrity. A man so eminently qualified to care
for his own business and for that of others en
trusted to his control, is, in our opinion, far
better qualified - to provide for the flturacial con
tingencies and fluctuations of a National Tree-
Wry, than all the bankrupt "windy" politicians
in the country combined. If Mr. Lincobi is
judiciously advised, Simon Cameron will bethe
next Secretary of, the Trewinfy, and the State
of Pennsylvania will have no just cause for
complaint.

REPORT
Committee in Contested Election Case
FROM LIJZERNE COUNTY
.7b the Honorable, the Members of theHouseof Repre
sentatives, of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
The committee having in charge the matter
of the contested election for the seat of member
of the Assembly for. Luzerne county, wherein
Dyer L. Chapin is contestant and Lewis Pughe,
the sitting member, respectfully report
That having been first duly sworn and affirm
ed, they proceeded to hear the parties, by them
selves and their counsel, with their proofs and
allegations. That by the evidence it appears
that Lewis Pughe was returned by the board of
election judges of the County as having received
6710 votes,andDyerL. Chapin as having received
6684 votes, whereby said Lewis Pughe was elect
ed.by a clear majority of 26 votes.
It also appeared that 31 votes were cast for
one Dyer D. Chapin, and were rejected in the
said general return of the election.
It appears in evidence that Dyer L. Chapin,
the contestant, was the regular nominee of the
Democratic party, that his tickets were printed
in connexion with those of the other party nom
inees, upon sheets containing seven complete
sets of tickets. That in one of these sets, be
ing the one-seventh of the sheet, the letter D.
was printed, by mistake, instead of L. in the
name of the said Dyer L. Chapin. That these
tickets had been extensively circulated through
the county before the error was discovered ; and
that when discovered, immediate efforts were
made to recall:them, and to a large extent suc
cessfully. It further appeared that there was
not, at the election, or before or after, any per
son of the name of Dyer D. or Dyer L. Chapin
- I •, - I I " VOTarenlarbr" ""roar
committee therefore are unanimously of the
opinion that the votes cast for Dyer D. Chapin;
should be counted for Dyer L. Chapin, the con
testant.
Your committee further report that nAch
evidence was given respecting the election held
in Abington township—from which the follow
ing facts appear. The elections previous to 1858
were held in the "Central School House at
Abington Centre." In that year the place of
holding the election was changed by due process
of law to• the "Red School House at Baily
Hollow," where the elections were held in the
Spring and Fall of 1859. This school house
was built upon the "property of Mr. White, in
whom was the title to the land. After the
fall election of 1859 this school house, which
had fallen into disuse, and was unfit for occupa
tion was removed by the owner about eight
rods across the Turnpike road, and converted
into a stable and barn—and at the fall election
of 1860 was filled with grain. There was no
building whatever on its original site. In the
Fall and Winter of 1859 a new Red School
House was built on a new location about seven
ty rods from the old one on the same public
road and withinj3ailey's Hollow, and was the
only "Red School House at Bailey's Hollow"
in the year 1860. The Spring election of 1860
was held there, and it was generally known and
recognized as the "Red School House." The
Sheriffs Proclamation directed the October
election of 1860 to be held for " Abington
District at the Red School House in Bailey's
Hollow." This was the only Red School House
in Bailey's Hollow, and there was no other
place that answered the description and desig
nation of the Sheriffs Proclamation. The vote
was fully polled, and there is no allegation that
any voters were misled, or that the place of
electien was or could by any possibility be mis
taken. And as it answers precisely to the de
scription of the place fixed by law, and desig
nated by the Proclamation, the Committee are
unanimously of the opinion that theycannot set
aside the vote there polled. It, therefore, re
mains as counted and returned in the general
election returns of the district.
The third and last point which was contested
respects the election which was held for the
South-West District of Providence township.'
It appears that the borough of Scranton and
the borough of Hyde Park are both within the
township of Providence, and are each of them
an incorporated borough and a separate election
district. The township is farther divided into
the northeast and south-west election districts.
In the latter the law directs that the election
shall be held in Scranton. The Sheriff's pro
clamation, notwithstanding, gave notice that
the election wotild_be held for Providence dis
trict at the house of S. Bristol in Hyde Park,
which is an incorporated town containing about
three thousand inhabitants, and distant more
than a mile from Scranton the place appointed
by law for holding the election. Neither was
there in October 1860 any person in Hyde Park
of the name of S. Bristol. Formerly a man by
that name had kept a public house in the town,
but he had removed from the place some ten or
twelve years before. The election was held at
the public house of Merry - field and Slocum,
which had never been occupied by or known as
the house of S. Bristol.
The law further provides that the officers of
the election shall be elected by ballot in March
preceding the election. No election was then
held, and no election board was at any time
elected as directed by law. On the morning of
the election, on the 9th of October, between 9
and 10 o'clock, from eight to twelve persons,
residents and voters of the South-West district
of Providence township, were assembled at the
house of Merryfield & Slocum, in Hyde Park.—
At the suggestion of one of the number, they
proceeded to nominate and elect, viva wee the
several officers of the election board—one of
the number put the question and the persons
Present responded by aye and no. The persons
thus irregularly chosen were then sworn and
the polls opened. Forty-seven votes were cast
for Dyer L. Chapin, the contestant, and thirty
seven votes for Lewis Pugh, the sitting mem
ber. These votes were received and counted in
the general return. The Committee are unan
imously of the opinion that the election was
illegal and void.
let. Because it was not held within the dis
trict nor at the place appointed by law ; but in
another and entirely distinct and separate dis
trict.
2nd. Because the officers who assumed to
hold the election were not legally elected or
qualified, and acted without authority of law.
From which view of the case it
follows that Lewis Pughe receiv

return 6,710 votes
From which are to be deducted the
votes cast for him in the south
west district of Providence, viz : 37 "

Making an aggregate vote of.
From which are to be deducted the
votes cast for him in the south
west District of Providence, viz: 47 votes.
Which leaves his total vote as cor

Lewis . Pughe,the sitting member,
received legal votes 6,672
And Dyer L. Chapin, the contest
ant, received legal votes 6,668
Which majority for Lewis Pughe.. 5 votes.
Whereupon your committee respectfully re
port that Lewis Pughe, having received a ma
jority of five of all the legal votes polled at the
said election on the 9th day of October, 1860,
for the office of member of Assembly for the
county of. Luzerne, was duly elected, and
therefore entitled to his seat.

N. s.—Look out for counterfeits. Buy no Golden Pills
of any kind unless every box is signed S. D. Howe. All
others are a base imposition and unsafe; therefore, as
you value your lives and health, (to say nothing of be
ing humbugged out of your money,) buy only of those
who show the signature of S. D. Howe on every box,
which has recently been added on account of the Pills
being counterfeited. dea•dwaswly.
Comm.—The sudden changes of our climate
are sources of Pulmonary, Bronchial and Asthmatic Af.
fectlons. Experience having proved that simple reme
dies often act speedily and certainly when taken in the
early stages of the disease, recourse should at once be
had to "Brown's Bronchial Troches," or lozenges, let
the Cold, Cough, or Irritation of do Throat be ever so
slight, as by this precaution a more serious attack may
be warded olf. Public Speakers and Singers will find
them effectual for clearing and strengthening the voice.
