THE DAILY Cuaommx.—The remarkably
rapid increase in the circulation of the Cuitostete

Allentonlans. The latest intelligence every after
noon is placed before our readers, and we spare

Tins NrattT•nr FinE.—Another attempt w•as
made Wednesday night to lire a dwelling. Under
the porch in front of the residence of Mr. William
Henry, a quantity of half burned paper was found
this morning, and all the appearances establish
the fact that the destruction of the premises was
the object. Mr. Henry resides on Turner between
Ninth and Tenth streets in one of the buildings
known as Plank Row. Had the fire spread hod
ignited the building as was evidently intended,
the destruction of the whole row would have pro
bably followed.
In Church Alley about midnight a man was
seen near the stable ,of Mr. Henry E. Rube, and
the parties who saw him saw that he had lire,
which, "upon seam/If/I,lm put out" and walked into
the middle of the Alley. Ile is described as a tali
man with a white hat and white vest. •
MIL STILES SPEAK'S colt Ills DisnucT.,—
In the [wise of Representatives, Wednesday, the
paragraph in the Tariff Bill before the House being
that taxing street ear wheels IJ per pound, Mr.
Ingersoll moved to reduce it to 2 cents. A long
discussion ensued, In the course of which Mr.
Stiles, who opposed the reduction of, the rate, de
clared that lie would vote In the House against
the proposition to reduce the duty on pig-iron, and
that the country would bold the Republican party
responsible for any reduction of the duties imposed
by the present tariff on the great Iron Interests of
Pennsylvania.
We are glad .to call attention to such
utterances from our. member. If tardy, they
are to the purpose when 'they do come. While
ennonentllng the honorable gentleman's remarks
we must take the liberty to doubt If he speaks for
the country on the question of responsibility for
reduced Thrill'.
SCENE IN WASHINGTON ON INIDAY.
There was another exciting time at the session of
the American Medical Association, on the question
of admitting the colored delegates. The majority
of the Committee on Ethics were instructed to re
port to the Convention their reasons for reporting
to exclude the delegates from the Howard Univer
sity. In pursuance to the lurtructions of the
Convention. they ,reported Witt the delegates were
excluded because they were members of the Na
tional Medical Society of the District of Coluuthia,
which admitted colored physicians to membertthip.
An exelting scene followed this report. The ex
cluded delegates endeavored to be heard In defence,
but the rebel clement showed itself by hisses, and
it was only by the greatest difficulty that the
President could obtain order, so that the excluded
delegates could speak. Before the question was
disposed of, a resolution was offered that the As
sociatiotishould not exclude any person on account
of color. This produced a great excitement, and
was received With continued losses. A scene of
great disorder ensued, and many delegates left the
convention, thorringhly disgusted with the proceed
ings. Finally order was restored and the debate
on the t col ut ion followed.

CENSUS. —Be prepared for the Census taker.
Ito will give you a call somewhere about the first
of June. Hit will want to know of every family
the names, nges, sexes, colors, &c., of Its mem
bers, aml also information for the compilation of
statistics concerning farm productions, manufac
tures, fie. The Information given must be, us
nearly as possible, exact and should be properly
given by the bead of the NMI)! Paterfamilias
will do well to attend to this himself, for It is
worth remembering that any false information,
purposely givea subjects the offender to a line or
$3O: and this line can be sued for as a debt by the
deputy or Assistant Marshal to whom the false
information Is given. The value of the "Census
Returns" ought to be appreciated by every intelli
gent man and every good citizen should do his
part toward ensuring expedition and reliability.
INCENDIARIBM.LOII Sunday evening week
preparations were made by some scoundrels
for the burning of the buildings back of the
Allen House which fortunately were frustrat
ed. An attempt, was made to start another
the and the incendiary was seen. A citizen
passing by Church Alley saw a man engaged
in lighting a bundle of paper. He imme
diately started to see who it was and the man
ran. • He gave chase, but unfortunately the
would-be incendiary got away. An examina
tion of the place (between Walnut & Union)
where the man was at work resulted in the dis
covery of all the necessary preparations for
the spread of the fire.
• The safety of our City demands that special
efforts shall be made to bring these villains to
Justice. We are living in the presence of a
secret foe and we know not how soon a horri
ble calamity may transpire.
PHRENOLOGICAL JUSTICE.—A wife of the
period its a western town brought a complaint
against her husband last week . for abusing her.
She swore that he had beaten her and torn out of
her head large quantities of hair, which she pre
served and laid away In a band box, but which
was not exhibited in Court. She tried to recount
a long story of wrongs, extending over ahnost the
entire period of their• matrimodal experience, and
succeeded In telling that she had beets three times
driven Into the Lunatic Asylum of New York
through his great cruelty. The husband on his
side said his wife wasted all his•earnoga. The
Judge examined the woman's head, and although
he did not give a phrehologleal opinion, he did
say that be could see no Indications that any of
her hair had been pulled out; consequently, he
said, he must dismiss the case, warning the
parties at the same time that It would be muds
better for them to live in peace and quiet. llus-'
band and wife thanked " Ye'r Worship," and left
the court room, evidently satisfied that Justice
had been done.
COLLISION ON THE LElllall AND SUSQUE
IANNA ItAILROAD—FATAL Ititst.9.T.—A col
ision occurred on the L. & S. It. It. near
Freemansburg, Tuesday week at 4 Mclock.
While engine No. 51, attached to a coal train,
was running down, the engineer and fireman,
as is said, being asleep, they passed the siding
'at which they were to pass an up coal train.
The conductor was in the caboose and he no•
ticed . the mistake and took every means to
avert a calamity, but the crash soon came and
engines and cars were piled up in a promis
cuous heap: The engineer of engine No. M
was scalded to death, and two other men were
slightly injured.
The unfortunate man Carroll had been for
many years an engineer and had never ,b,e
fore met with an accident. Ile bore the best
of characters for steadiness and reliability
and the supposition that he was asleep and Jan
past the siding, arises from the ftiet that he was
on extra duty and had been deprived of his cus
tomary and necessary sleep. The Coroner's Jury
found a verdict in accordance with the facts and
the body of the unfortunate man was carried to
Penobscot where his friends reside.
ONE 31101 LE ATTMIPT TO BURN.—Again
on May 3d an attempt was made to destroy the
property of a citizen by flrei which, but for its
providential discovery before the flames had gahed
headway, would have resulted In a disastrous
calamity. The scene of the inecndiarie's opera
tions was the carpenter shop of 31 Wm. Clewell,
on hail alley, between Chew aim Turner streets,
and the time selected was about one o'clock this
morning. Straw had been procured front a neigh
boiing stable and thrown in at one of the windows
of the shop, then rags saturated with coal oil were
Ignited and thrown In on top of the straw. A lady
residing In the vicinity happening to look from her
vvin dove, saw the blaze and alarmed the neighbors,
who In a very short time succeeded In extinguish
ing the tire. A large hole was burned through
the side of the shop, but no further damage was
dmic.
Who will sillier to-night 7 Are we to be contin
ually In the appreheindon of Ilre . Every family
In our city Is living In continual dread that they
will be the next victims. Active measures arc
necessary to check this crime. We have heard
something of a proposal to establish a secret or
ganization for the protection of the city. We
would like to see sonic such course takch.

CHECKMATE FOR THE SOCIAL Exii,.—Last
week a scene was enacted on our streets which,
though not very pleasant to behold, will 110 gener
ally read of with feelings of satisfaction. A inar-•
tied man was taking a walk with two females
whose reputation In the community make them
unlit companions for any man with the slightest
pretension to respectability. We understand they
rejoice in the distinguished cognomen of "Schin
derhannes," and are sisters. That they may have
all the notoriety to which they are entitled,we will
add that their" befront" names are respectively
Ann and Mary. The name of the distinguished
member of the " married profession" we withhold
only. on account of his family. Pursuing their
walk and rejoicing hi congenial society they
reached the • corner of Sixth and Turner. when
they were suddenly confronted by the ontroged
wife.
The man and Ills companions were both sur
prised and disgusted. In fact, they were .com
pletely demoralized, and would have retired In
disorder. The husband did manage to sneak off,
and the. girls would have followed suit, but the
enraged woman who confronted them had no idea
of letting them Off so easily. ' Striking right out
from the shoulder she laid one of the sweet sisters
prone in the dust. The prostrate " Schindel.-
Intones," however, showed light,- and then began
a desperate struggle. Hands and feet, nails and
teeth were In full operation, and In a few moments
It was evident that the wife was able to whip her
foe. Then the sister came to the rescue, and
with these odds against her the courageous lady,
nothing daunted, still fought °Nand after a short,
sharp battle, she had whipped both of them.
Public opinion has declared In favor of the "in
jured husband" slaying the destroyer of his domes
tic happiness. Wu hope, hi thiS age of Woman's.
Rights, that married women who have the
"spunk" will not forget that they him the same
kind of remedy as this good Indy, who 'deserves
special :corattiendation —from those who regard
the crime of McParland as entirely justifiable,
especially. Wives who have not =gels enough
to ensure victory In stich an encounter might form
a Mutual Proteetion Society, or take such meas
ures as will render the punishment of their cue
mtes a certainty.
HEAVY shipments of coal are being made
from the Lehigh to the Schuylkill Valley by
way of the East Pennsylvania Railroad. _
Hours AGAIN.—Mr. Samuel Hunt, of Clan
alumna, returned home on Monday week from
an extensive tour through Colorado and New
Mexico, after an ithsenee of nine months. We
were glad to see him looking much Improved In
health.
THE FOUNTAIN' HousE.—The preparations
that are being made at this summer resort for the
accommodation of visitors arc under the superbi.:
tendence of Mr. Peter Deshler, who acts for the
proprietor in his absence. There In every indica
tion of n liberality of spirit and a desire to have
a tlrA4danis house, that confirms the impression
that the Fountain House will be a real advantage
to our city. We understand that it Is likely to be
opened by the let of June.
To THE CHARITABLE.—A poor widow, in
this city, has bad the misfortune to he afflicted
with partial blindness and is In consequence
totally unable to support her family. Iler chil
dren, all but one, have been taken to other fam
ilies, and the one who remains is stated to be a
healthy nisi, of six years old. It Is hoped that
some charitable persons will adopt this one and
train It in a Christine manner and thus relieve
the poor woman from her charge. Inquiries may
be made at the residence of Rev. S. K. Biobst.
PROCLAMATION
Who-can, the peace and quiet of the good citi
zens of Allentown has been much disturbed, and
their safety seriously endangered, by numerous
attempts within the last few weeks, to destroy
property by fire In various parts of the city, and It
la due to them and the character of the commu
nity that no effort he spared to discover and pun
t& the offenders : Now, therefmc, Ido hereby, in

DEATH ON Miss LAUItA BICKLEY.—A telc•
grain received Tuesday week conveyed the sad
intelligence of the death of Miss Laura flick
ley, which took place on that morning at Read
ing. The conveyance of the doleful news to
the children of the late Miss Sickley's school
was a very sad business. Her goodness and
kindness and her real interest in the welfare
of the little ones had endeared her to them,
not only as their teacher but as their friend,
and the burst of grief, with which they re.
ceived the intelligence that they would sec her
kind face and be cheered by her bright smile
no more, was a touching tribute to her worth
and spoke volumes for her loveliness of char
acter. Every one who had the privilege of an
intimate acquaintance with this young lady
can sympathise with her scholars in this heart
felt grief. To know tier was to love her. The
grace and beauty which nature had given to
her in personal appearance were supplemented
by the goodness and the sweetness of her dis
position, and they attracted towards her old
and young. Though of rather a retiring dis
position, no young lady in our city had more
numerous and warmer friends than Miss
Biesley. Der faithful devotion to the school
she had in charge elicited the admiration
anti commendation of the authorities, and
earned for her the gratitude of the parents to
whose children site devoted the strength of
her latest days on earth. A life of useful la
bor was hers—not a life of ease, and by her
gentle counsels she has led many a young
heart in the 'way of wisdom—the path of
peace. Not standing idleshe labored in the
vineyard and early in life had declared herself
on the side of Christ. Iler powers of useful
ness increased by exercise. She never dc•
seised the humblest Mikes in which she could
help others and was always ready to sacrifice
her own good for those for whom she labored.
It is probable that her death was accelm wed by
the close application to her duties as teacher.
It is very hard for those who knew her and
loved - tier so dearly to understand the wisdom
that has called her from us. In the freshness
of her pant', in the perfection of her beauty,
In the midst of •her useful life, the summons
came for her, Der 11th. was a sweet lesson or
patient usefulness; her death is a solemn ser
mon to those who yet remain. "In the midst
of life we arc in death ; but in the very clasp
of Death there is eternal Life, If ye will but
believe."
Miss Diekley was only twenty-one years
of age, just eptering into •wOrnanhood.

ME LECTURE ON SATURDAY EVENINO by
the Honorable Philadelph Van Trump was not
well attended hi consequence of the unfitvorable
state of the weather ; only a small repiesentation
of the large number of ticket buyers being ffresent.
The lecturer was Introduced by the ilonorable
John D. Stiles, and read extracts from an ably
written essay, originally prepared by him for the
American ilistmical Society. Thc.length of the
lecture, caused by Its minutes of detail and uhrono
logical exactness, wearied some of the small au
dience who with more regard for their own ease
than the requirements of courtesy, left the Court
room before its 'conclusion. The subject of the
lecture could not fall to make it an interesting
one to students of history, but it is to he regretted
that the lecturer had not so altered it as to make
it of more Interest to the general public. While
stati•ties, dates and so forth are Invaluable to the
student and historian'; the " average leeture goer"
has a holy hero• of such things. The ability of
the gentleman and his kindness In lecturing for
the benefit of our band, entitle him to immunity
from aversed criticism; lint we cannot refrain from
saying that the value of his essay, as a lecture, is
considerably below that which it would undoubt
edly be rated at, by the "American Historical
Society."

table is always supplied with till the varieties of
the season and Kramer spares no expense
that trill ;Al to the.comfort of his guest. The
city also has a number of very 11111111SOIlle churches,
some large stores, and numerous tine and truly
elegant modern residences. Its prison, built of
brown stone, a recent structure, is one of the best.
The court house, built in modern style, is a line

its construction was blue lime-stone:.
There are quite a number of Iron works In oper
ation here, giving employment to many hands.
Among other works are the Excelsior Stedl Com

classes, to which are several ministers and several
