Bar BILLED.—In Philadelphia, on Thursday
morning, as the hook and ladder truce of the Wash
ington Hose Company was run out at Ninth and
Arch streets, a boy named Edward Thomas, who
was running with the apparatus, and pulling by
the side ropes, fell, and the wheels passing over
his neck, death resulted almost instantly. The de
ceased was but 12 years of age.
HARRISBURG POST MAsvAn.—We copy the fol
lowing private dispatch sent from Washington to
the Evening Journal, of Philadelphia, on Saturday:
"The post-office at Harrisburg has given Mr.
Cameron a vast deal of trouble. This morning be
handed the whole subject over to the Hon. John
W.Billinger, who is bound to take the responsi
bility. The contest is now narrowed down to
Henry Gilbert and Abraham Freaner."
This must be rather unwelcome news to some of
the aspirants, and especially the one who so em
phatically declared that he would not be a candi
date under any consideration.
It is highly gratifying to notice, that our friend
Freaner is still under favorable consideration. We
heard him publicly proclaim on Friday night, that
the Democratic triumph in Harrisburg was the
first gun fired on the strength of the rumor that
Bergner was to be appointed Postmaster, and if
the rumor should prove true, the next election in
the city would give the Democrats at least a thou
sand majority ! "Bully for him—bully for all."
A Drawn/me Vicroxv.—The municipal elec
tion held in this city on Friday last resulted in a
glorious Democratic triumph--a clean sweep in all
the wards except the Fifth. Afraid to rally under
a name which has become a stench in the nostrils
of a betrayed people, the Republican name was
ignored entirely ; but with the usual cunning of
that party, they nominated a ticket in each ward,
placing upon it for minor offices a number of Demo
crats, taking care to place upon every one, for Judge
and other important positions, the most rampant
of their party. This transparent and played -out
trick did not succeed, for the the Democrats game
up to the work manfully, and elected the regular
nominees. By adding up the vote for Judges in
the different wards, we find the Democrats have
carried the city by two hundred and seventy-five
majority. All hail the Democrats of Harrisburg,
who never say die, and who never stay whipped !
N. B.—We understand that the Republicans
were so sure of holding their own that Barr's lom
pally of Wide Awakes had trimmed their torches
preparatory to a parade in their new uniforms,
scotch plaid caps and military overcoats—but the
project was abandoned.
EIS CIAINS.—A correspondent whose mind ap
pears to be considerably agitated at the probable
appointment of George Bergner to the Harrisburg
Post Office, indignantly asks—" What are his claims
to recognition by the Administration at Washing
ton ?" We will endeavor to enlighten this anxious
inquirer. The claims of Bergner may be stated
formally as follows:
. First—He is a native of Hesse Cassel, or Besse
Darmstadt, or some other Hessian Principality, and
the Administration wishes to show by some signal
act that it is not tainted with native Americanism.
Seoond—He has made a great deal of money out
of the Whig, Know Nothing and Republican par
ties, and is entitled to make a great deal more.
Third—He don't need the office; and it is good
policy to appoint a man whose circumstances place
him entirely out of the reach of temptation.
Fourth—He is the editor of the Telegraph in
which position he has rendered the most efficient
services to his party, by his able exposition of Re
publican principles, and his uniform fidelity to
freedom.
Fifth—lle is rigidly and inflexibly honest in all
his transactions With the State, as may be ascer
tained by reference to the records of the Auditor
General's department.
Sixth—He voluntarily announced in the Tele
graph, immediately after the election, when his
name was suggested as a candidate for the Post
Office, that he would not make application, thus
throwing other applicants off their guard; and ex
hibiting a degree of smartness that should not be
permitted to pass without reoognitien.
Seventh—He is a great favorite with the citizens
of Harrisburg, who, with one accord, would take
it as a personal insult if the Administration should
select some other man.
Eighth—Ho is patriotic and always faithful to
—himself.
Ninth—fie is truthful, and has never been known
to utter a falsehood For proof of this assertion,
tee the columns of the Telegraph.
Lastly—He is an urbane and polished gentle
Than, practices all the amenities of civilised life
aßli never was known to commit a mistake in arith-
metic against himself, except upon one occasion,
when he insisted that two meant three, and made
the correction accordingly.
This enumeratio n might be continued to an in
definite length, for we are quite in love with the
snidest, but if oar inquiring friend is not satisfied
now that Bergner ought to be appointed, he never
will be.
LONDON MECHANICAL ENGINEERS.—The London
Mechanic's Magazine furnishes an abstract of the
proceedings of the London Institute of Mechanical
Engineers, held on the 2d ult., from which we make
the following extracts in relation to water-supply
for tenders:
"The last paper was a 'Description of a Method
of Supplying Water to the Tenders of Locomotive
Engines whilst Running,' by Mr. John Ramsbot
tom, of Crewe; the object of which is to avoid the
necessity of stopping the train for the purpose of
taking in water for the engine. This is effected
by having a scoop or curved pipe attached on the
bottom of the tender, which dips down into an
open trough of water laid between the rails, and
thus scoops up the water and delivers it into the
tender tank whilst running along, the water rush
ing up the ourved scoop as this is passed through
the trough. The scoop is carried on a transverse
centre bearing, and when not in use is tilted up by
a balance weight, so as to be elear of the ground;
for taking water it is dipped into the trough by
depressing it by a handle to an adjustible stop.—
The trough is cast in short lengths . and fixed on the
sleepers, the joints being made water-tight by a
strip of round vulcanized india-rubber inserted
between each length, which effectually prevents
leakage and allows for expansion and vibration.—
The height of water in the trough is maintained at
a- little above the level of the rails by an overflow
°rifle° at each end of the trough, and the trough
extends for a length of a quarter of a mile along
a level portion of the line. At each end of the
trough the line is made to rise for a short distance
by an easy gradient, so as to ensure the scoop al
ways clearing the end of the trough on entering,
and also being lifted out clear at the other end, the
scoop being lowered before reaching the trough,
and raised after leaving it. The results were given
of a number of experiments made in filling the
tender at different speeds, in which it has been
found that the delivery of water into the tender
commences when the engine is passing at a speed
of about fifteen miles an hour, and between twenty
two and fifty miles an hour the quantity of water
raised by the scoopin passing along the trough is
practically the same at all speeds of running,
amounting to about ono thousand one hundred gal
lons, or five tons of water, with the present length
of trough. To provide against freezing in severe
weather, where the water is stationary in the
trough, an ice plow is used, consisting of a small
rame with wedge-shaped top, which is run along
the trough once each morning when required, and
turns out the ice over the aides of the trough; any
ice afterwards forming is readily removed by the
scoop itself in passing through, and the apparatus
has been kept at work without any difficulty during
the whole of the late severe winter. This mode of
taking up water for the engine whilst running was
designed to carry out the accelerated working of
the Irish Mail, 'which requires a clear run of
eighty-four and three-quarter miles, from Chester
to Holyhead, without stopping; the water trough
is fixed at the half-way point, near Conway. The
plan is also designed for supplying water to heavy
through-goods trains, to avoid the necessity of their
stopping for water alone, and also for rendering
Available sources of good water upon the line at
the level of the rails, where there is not a station.
A working model was exhibited, showing the ac
tion of the scoop in raising the water into the ten
der, and also the velocimeter used in the experi
ments for measuring the speed of the engine, con
sisting of a vertical glass cylinder, containing oil,
which is made to revolve by a cord passing round
the axle of one of the engine wheels; the rotation
of the cylinder causes the surface of the oil to fall
in the centre in proportion to the rate of rotation,
and the speed is readily observed by a graduated
scale at the side of the glass cylinder.
PROPERTY IN DOGS.—The questions of property , .
in dogs, and of the right of persons to rid them
selves of opnoxious canines, in their own way, has
been tested in the courts of Pniladelphia. A co
lored man, named Morris Van Duke, was charged
with shooting a dog belonging to Mr. Herstein, of
Germantown, and with assaulting the eons of the
owner of the dog. It seems that Van Duke was
the coachman of Mr. Trump, who resided in the
neighborhood of Mr. Berstein. The shooting of
the dog was proved by the Commonwealth, and
also the fact that Van Duke had struck, or struck
at, the sons of the owner, who happened to be pre
sent at the time of the shooting. The defence pro
posed to show the general bad character of the
dog, and also that he had bitten a child of Mr.
Trump. Judge Ludlow laid down the rule that no
act of the dog's, unless committed within forty
eight hours of the shooting could be given in evi
dence, and this ruling deprived the defendant of
his defence, for the biting of the child and other
misdeeds of the cur had been committed prior to
that period.
The Judge, in his charge, explained his reasons
for fixing a limit to the time within which evidence
of viciousness could be introduced. He was wil
ling to concede that an offence committed by the
dog might justify an immediate punishment of it
by the party aggrieved; but the offence committed
by the animal must be recent, to dispel the idea
of malice on the part of the avenger in the de
struction of the quadruped. For that reason, he
had fixed forty-eight hours as the limit.
The Judge also referred to the growing disposi
tion in the large. American cities to disregard law,
and to the necessity of stopping the evil before all
government came to an end, and every man set
himself up as the Judge and the executor of the
law. In the ease on trial it was proved that taxes
were paid upon the dog which had been slaugh
tered. It was therefore personal property, and as
much the subject of the protection of the law as
any other species of property.
THE EFFECTS ow COLD.--With regard to the
treatment of frost-bitten persons, the part affected
should be rubbed with cold water or snow, and
then with fluids of a medium temperature, in a
cold room; cautiously bring the patient into a
warm atmosphere, and administer small quantities
of cordials or warm tea, then cover him up in bed,
and encourage perspiration. Even where the pa
tient seems quite dead, or bas lain as if dead for
days, you must give a fair trial to these remedies.
When poor Boutillat, the French peasant, who
awoke crying out for drink after his four days'
sleep in the snow, was brought to his friends, they
wrapped him in warm linen, dipped in aromatic
water, and this was but too probably the cause of
the poor fellow's feet mortifying.
How cold slaughters its victims we do not ex
actly know; some say it paralyzes the heart;
others think that the cold, to use the popular ex
pression, drives the blood inward, and kills by
apoplexy. The irresistible sleepiness that creeps
over a person "lost in the snow" is well known,
and has often been described ; if once it is yielded
to, death under the forlorn circumstances usually
present, is sure to result. But, undoubtedly, it
may kill at once. Persons have been found stone
dead, standing upright at their posts, all the ma
chinery of life having stopped at once—the mouth
half open, as it was when the last groan was ut
tered; the limbs still in the position they assumed
during life, and haying undergone, through the
peculiar antiseptic nature of the cold, none of the
changes we find after other forms of death.
POLICE-BEFORE ALDERMAN KLINE.-OD Satur
day Jacob Smaltsey was before Alderman Kline
on a charge of being drunk and disorderly, and
abusing his father. Jacob is evidently a bad egg.
His father is 73 years of age, and owns the hokne
in which he lives, where he gives Jacob food and
shelter, and yet the ungrateful scamp returns abuse
to the old man, instead of filial attention. Sent
over for five days.
Sally Sissel, a lass of some twenty-five summers,
who has become a worshipper at the shrine of
Bacchus, was found wandering about the city with
the remains of a quart of "white eye" in a cham
pagne bottle. Sent over for five days.
Yesterday morning Fred. Brown, a Teuton, and
Mickey Lynch, a Milesian, who bad commenced
celebrating St. Patrick's Day on Saturday evening,
were sent over for 24 hours.
FROG Isuervorrr.—The following item, which we
find in that sober, philosophic journal, the Boston
Courier, will amuse those of our readers who are
fond of the curious in natural histOry :
On the island of False river, Louisiana, is found
a frog whose peculiarities, we believe, have hith
erto escaped tine attention of naturalists. It is
called the "egg frog," from its great hankering
after "hen fruit," and is a great nuisance to far
mers in consequence. Being unable to break the
shell of the egg. it is swallowed whole, after which
the frog climbs a tree, and then precipitates itself
to the ground. The fall breaks the shell, and the
frog spits it out piece by piece.
A MARVELOUS STORY.-A farmer of Kittanning,
while digging a bole for a fence-post one day,
struck upon a hollow substance, which be after
wards discovered to be the skull of a human being.
The sight at first appalled him, but resuming his
labor, he succeeded in digging out the entire skull,
beneath which he found a brass kettle, containing
some beads and other relics, and also a small boy,
within which he found a paper on which were words
written in the French language. These words he
had translated, and they ran in this wise : "Buy
all your own and your sons' garments at the Brown
Stone Clothing /fall of Bookbill do Wilson, Nos.

And to you we appeal to detect the illness or decline
not of ly of your daughters before it be too late, but also
your sons ai.d husbands, for while the former from faise
delicacy, often go down to a premature grave, rather
than let their condition be known in time, the latter are
often so mixed up with the excitement of business, that
if it were not for you, they, too, would travel in the same
downward path until it is too late to arrest their fatal
fall. But the mother is always vigilant, and to yeti we
confidently appeal; for we are sure your never-failing
affect.on will unerringly point you to PROF. WOOD'S
RESTORATIVE CORDIAL AND BLOOD RENOVATOR
as the remedy which should be always on hand in time
of need.

taste and invigorating to the system. While it purifies
the blood and soothes the nervous in Ration, it aids the
organs of digestion to perfo'm their functions, and re
sist the assault of disease. It is a chemical compound
so skillful y comtined that while it exhilarates it does
not provoke the lassitude which usually follows excite
ment. A tonic, composed exclusively of vegetable mat

sibly accompany its use It is an infallible and speedy
remedy fo Loss of A ppetite, Faintness, Nervous Debil
ity, Neuralgia. Pa'pitation of the Heart, Falling of the

PROF. WOOD'S RESTORATIVE CORDIAL.—It is recorded
in the Classics that Psyche was once sent to a climate
warmer than the West Indies, to procure a simple of the

me: senger returned, and as soon as the lid of the 1),,x
was removed, out flew all the ills that flesh is heir to_
Fortunat• ly, hope was found in the bottom of the box.
Prof. WOOD'S Restorative Cordial revives the recollec
tion of the story, for it invigorates the blood, aids the
organs of digestiml, imparts strength to the netvous sys
tem, anti fortifies the citadel of health, so as to hid de
fiance to the asssults of disease. It is a healthy tonic,

cal world, and those who are afflicted with loss of appe
tite, Dyspepsia, Consumption, Faintness, Giddiness,
Neauralda, Palpitat ion of the Heart, & c., will find here
an infallible panacea.—St. Louis Daily Express.
PROF. W °OD'S RESTORATIVE CORDIAL AND BLOOD REN
OVATOR is, without doubt, the best tonic Cordial in the
world. To those who are Eudering from General Debili

taste, is strengthening to the system, and will at once
tend to remove ell impurities of the blood, and eradicate
all traces of disease. It can be taken by the weakest
Stomach, while those in good health. w; At once feel its
exhilarating power. We are confident that after using
one bolts of this Cordial none will be fora day without
it.—New York Lcader.
A PORE', HEALTHY TONIC, and one free from the dele

medical world. Such a tonic, and one so skillfully com

accordance with the laws of nature, and thus soothe the
weakest stomach, and at the same time allay nervous
and other irritations, and tone up alt the organ.of which
the human body is composed, is offered in Prof. WOOD'S
Restorative Cordial and Blood Renovator. Hence, it is
perfectly adapted to old and young. Reader, try it

be certain that it will prove itself to be all that it is re

first article in the market for Purifying the Flood and
strengthening the system. We have no hesitation in
recommending its use to all.—Neto Yorker.

dreaming that the seeds of death are already germinating

and the entire animal economy deranged, debilitated ;
and yet, careless of themselves as they are, if a remedy
were set before them which would restore all the func

would tike it, and thus be in time to save their lives.—
