After some little trouble he succeeded In arresting the loving husband and took hlin to the Sixth Ward station house, where he was confined until next morning. Daniel stated to the .Mayor that his better half bad Deco taking too touch nitro glyerrme, and that . when he ac cused beret doing so they got Into a fight. Daniel used a broom-stick and Mrs. Daniel doused him with a pall of water. The prisoner claimed to he peaceable top and called Officer Thomas to substantiate his statement, but the policemen said he had been arrested several times before, Ills Honor was of the opinion that Mrs. O'Donnel was not an angel and discharged the prisoner. TERRIFIC EXPLOSION—TWO MEN BLOWN TO PmcEs.—Yesterday worning a fearful acct• dent happened at Scranton. Two laborers, Samuel Higginbotham and. James Hennessy, were sent Into a shaft In one of the Vermillion Coal Company's mines about 4 o'clock. They had scarcely reached thelrdestlnatlun In the mine, when a violent explosion occurred, and as soon us possible assistance was sent to them. The men .were found blown almost to pieces. The cause of the explosion was the gas In the mines coming In contact with the light. II iggin botham,,who lived at Scranton, leaves a family— a wife and one child. Hennessy lived In Ottawa, and leaves a family—a wife and four children. The men killed were employed balling out water In certain portions - of the mine. From the fact that the bodies were found In a part of the mine which they were tirhidden to en ter by the company, because of the supposed presence of Bre•damp, their death would seem to be the result of disobedience of orders. THE WORKINOMEN'S I.3I,NEVOLENT A SBO CIATION.—A correspondent of the evening Bul letin, writing front Wllkesbarra on the 10th, says that "the news from the General Council of the W. B. A., whose session nt Mahanoy City closed on the oth under very unlivoranie auspices, le hailed by operators here as a cheering sign of the Impending dissolution of that mischievous organi zation. It Is an axiom that no Buffo Is so bitter as one between the adherents of different religious denominations,. and If, as' Is reported, a quarrel has arisen between the Catholic and the Protest ant factions of the N. B. A., It will be no easy matter to bring them Into harmony again. Shrewd observers here think tha . t the ultlinate result will be a dissolution of the Association, as a collective body ; leaving nothing but the local" brooches," as they are now termed, of which each colliery supporta one. The action of the Hyde Park min ers In settliag their own terms with their employ ers regardless of the wish of the General Council —for which they were promptly read' out of the organiz.ition—is also an evidence that the days of great and costly humbug are numbered and will Shortly end. It is hoped that the coming year r with the almost inevitable low prices and correspond ing wages by which the trade now concedes that It will be marked, may open the eyes of the work- Ingtnen and show them that, alter all, their Inter ests and those of their employers Ile In common, and must advance or decline together. It will p.4,y the operators to lose a few thousand dollars apiece, If by that means this truth may be permanently, Inculcated. ,AccErrAnLE are those cigars, manufactured and sold at H. C. Wagner's, southwest corner of Bevonth and Centre Square. BLEEPING Lllth A JACK—KNIFE.--People who are willing to sleep shut up like a Jnck•knlfe will be delighted to know of a now process of In suring longevity. A California scientist, whose head, Nicoll's back, must be a trifle weak, de clares that he has prolonged his life by sleeping with his finger tips touching his toes, and has In vented a machine to hold the body In that grace. ful and pleasant position. He contends that the vital electric currents"—on •the principle we suppose of the smoke consuming stove—" are thus kept In even eircumflow, Instead of being thrown elf at the extremities and wasted." There Is no patent upon the great discovery, and any one with a sufficiently supple back Is of course free to try the experiment, and after doings° wl!I please report the result of their experience to us. 5,5:8 13 5,640 14 INFORMATION FOR POSTMASTERS. The postmasters of title county will won receive a eir• cuter from the Post Office Department requiring them to accept mutilated currency under the new regulations in payment for postage stamps and stamped envelopes on the same terms as It Is re. eelved by the Treasury Department ; that Is to say the full face value when not, more than two fifths of Its original proportions are missing. The mutilated currency so received will not be paid out again by postmasters, but may be forwarded to the treasury of the United States at Washington, at the expense of the department, under the goy eminent contract with the Adams express com pany; provided that the fractional currency be sent in sums of live dollars and upward and the legal tender notes in sums of fifty dollars and up• ward. New currency, by express, at the expense of the department, will be sent In return, unless otherwise ordered. MANAOEMENT OF CHILIMEN.—There can, I think, be no greater disaster In the home, no greater mistake In the attempt to managea fam ily, than the failure of the two parents to make their authority absolutely one. The household In which, for any reason or from any cause, a con flict of authority exists, is the saddest of sights to one who wishes well to children. Thera should be earnest conference between parents concerning the best methods and objects; there should be per fect unanimity it the general system of manage ment adopted by them. It is unspeakably better to [sake some mistakes in unison, than to let the minds of children confused as to whom they shall obey. Let the father mid mother speak with one voice, If they wish the voice of either to be re spected. Appeals from one to the other 011001(1 never be permitted. Where this la allowed, wretchedness of many kinds ensues. sod manage ment gives place to mismanagement.— J. E. 41, bolt. 28 378,000 SHOT AT—ATTEMPTED. ASSASSINATION.— Dr. Steinmetz, of Weaversville, appears to have determined and murderous enemies. Some time ago, It will be remembered, he wan quite severely In) urled by some parties who gained forcible en trance Into his residence, opposite the Academy, at Weaversvllle, during the absence from home of his wife, and the house was subsequently set on fire, for the purpose, It was supposed, of covering up the murder, which the would-have-been assas sins calculated they had done. The building was entirely destroyed by the lire, but the Doctor was rescued by the timely assistance rendered by the neighbors. The parties, being foiled In their pur pose at this time, resumed their murderous work Tuesday evening. As Dr. Steinmetz was return from his father's residence, near Bath, to his home In Weaversville, some parties who were hid along side the road fired at him, the bullet entering the carriage front. behind and grazing the Doctor's artn. The horse started off at the discharge of the gun, and it required the Doctor's entire attenthm to hold him in, and in consequence he could not even get a sight of his would-be assassins. The community of Weaveraville is not a little &tartly] by these attempts upon the life of one of their good citizens, and the matter we suppose and hope will he thoroughly investigated. We predict it will be " some unhealthy for the cuss” If he is caught. Bethlehem Tillie, I.

Mrs. Cooper, formerly Mies Erdman, daughter of cx-Congrcsa man Erdman; was a lady of many endearing quallties,ef a retiring disposition and an amiability that made her beloved by every one who knew her. The heartfelt symp silty of the entire com munity Is with Mr. Cooper in his sad ollilelion. Tim MEANEST MAN An Arrant Imposter and a Rich Beggar From the lioadloK ut Mood ty During a week or more vast a man named John Peter Strnmerilwily called at the residence of many of our citizens soliciting pecuniary aid. Ile had IL book, hi which seas written as appeal to the charitable by Gen. James S. Negley, a member of 'oogresti from Pittsburgh. It stated that Stromer wi t s a man worthy of charity, that he had served in the UlllOll during the rebellion, and that hi, reason for asking aid was to send for his wife and family, aho are natives and residents of Sweden. This book contains the signatures of soma of the most prominent citlzens of the State, as well us those of our own city, and the amount cowlh u t ed by each. Oa Friday information was lodged at the Mayor's Office that Stromer had been very abusive, espcially to ladies, when he WlO3 refused money, anal the Mayor gave orders for Ills arrest. On Saturday morning Officer Kehler was on duty in-the t Mee, and was Informed that Stromer was then ou the onto ide. The OfHeel. and Detective Lynno !unlit (Lately Started ink pursuit, and caught him on Fifth street a short distance above the City Hall Ile made conslierable resistance, but was Ilnnlly overpowerod and taken to the Station House, when he was stripped and searched. Ott his person wits found ;222.07 In rash, and certificates of bunk stock, A:e., showing, th it he had on deposit In a number of Western Hanks money to the amount of in16,4:0. Ile had also 'enters of introduction front different plates in this country and Sweden. There is also a commission from Governor Salomon, of Wisconsin, who appointed him 21 Lieutenant of Co. K, 15th 11'i6C011till Volunteers. In this regi ment he served but a short time, having resigned and applied for a Lieut. Colonel's or Major's coin mission in one of the Negro Regiments, :unit his application, which sfoes that he was ant otllcer in the Swedish Arnay In ISIIS, was endorsed by lion. Isaac N. Arnold, of Chicago, and Gen. W. T. Sherman. Ills bank accounts are kept In the most carefnlmanner, showing him to be a good finnan vier, and he was quick to take advantage in the rise of the pi ice of gold at the time when the fluc tuations in that article were so 1.010111013. There in also a document which states that In case 01 his death the money Is to be given to his wife. The. appearance of the titan is calculated to play tlei suipiithy dodge effectually. Ile is upparently lildiat GO years of ale , has a quick, nervous man ner, a sharp eye, and allot:ether rather n prepos sessing timaitior. Ile did not think he was doing wrdtig, but that !iding :Loved in the army he was entitled di make his living In this way.

H rrman's Music ME PHILLIPSBURGH Ppruirsnonen, Jan. 10, 1872 Seeing a statement In your columns In regard , to the prevalence of the small-pox lu Easton and Phillipsburgh, I thought I would write you a line concerning the facts in the case. The disease broke out In Easton In November, and the first death was that of Henry Noll. Since that time there haVe been eighty-eight cases of all kinds and of these fourteen have died. • Small-pox can only be propagated by contagion or Infection, and from Easton It was carried to Philllpsburgh and broke out there a abort time be fore Christmas. The citizens and authorities of the town failed to take prompt action In the mat ter and before they moved, the people themselves had spread the disease by having infected bedding and clothing. There has been a total of eighty cases all told In Philllpsburgh, and of these twenty were fatal, a much larger proportion than In Easton and neatly all of them In the crowded and uncleanly Second Ward. The deaths have not averaged'hne a day. The largest number of deaths in any ono day wns three. The disease (snow under control. Six new cases and but one death (a child nine months old) are reported thus far in the wetk. The neglect of vaccination and especially of re vaccination was the cause of the fatality In so many cases. If vaccination were compulsory, the dis ease would be almost banished. In Prussia It is compulsory and out of one thousand deaths, but two are of small-pox. In parts of Ireland It Is ncelected, and out of every one thousand deaths sill fare of this disease, thirty times greater than In Prussia. Comment Is unnecessary. Yours truly, DELAW AR E.
