JACK-OS, of Berwick, Superin tendent, vice MAJ. E. MCNKAL, resigned.— Tltis is, now doubt, a good appoiiumetit, and well deserved. Mr. JACKSON is one of the best business men in the County, and there is no reason why lie should not make a good and efficient Superintendent. We hope the road may continue to prosper un der his management, as it has done hereto fore under the control of the retiring officer. | D. G.

FONDA, Superintendent of the Gattawissa, William-port & Erie Railroad, which he so ably and creditably manages, will please except our sincere thanks for so estimable a lavor. This road is one of lire most important links in tho Statu, and one ■of the lest conducted roads in the hln'u: and wo arc pleased to hear, is doing an en •couraging business. MR. C. M. DONOVAN, ex-member of the Legislature, has been sentenced, in tire Court ol Quarter Sessions, of Dauphin Coun ty, to pay a fine ol #2OO. lo i>e imprisoned three months, and to give security in SlOOO to keep tho pence, for the assault commit ted by him lately at Harrisburg upon Air Church, member of Ore Legislature, from Philadelphia. W CLIP from the money article of a late ■ntrmper ot riTe Philadelphia Dress, the fol lowing cheering comments upon the pros pect of better times. We fondly trust that the " good lime coming" may speedily arrive: " Business is not only reviving among us, but the prospects abroad are reported by good authority us very cheering. The com mercial classes in England have re-establish ed confidence and trust in themselves and eaclt other. The manufactories are in oper ation everywhere, labor meets ready em ployment in the agricultural districts, and food, generally, is cheap. It is asserted that in any ordinary tunes, under such a state of things as prevails there, money would soon be in demand at high rates of usance, but lite extraordinary caution of the moneyed men lias brought homo such tut immense amount ol money, that the current rate of discount out of the Bank oi England is one and a half to two per cent, per annum, while the Batik rate ol two arid a ball is expected lo continue unchanged lor a considerable lime." • AN ITFM FOB oi'll LADY RB.UIRHS —The Paris correspondent of the Nottk American fays, in thai gay oily, w hero fashions origi nate, "the most fashionable bonnets are made of terry velvet, with a scarf and trim mings of plain velvet, anil decorated with birds or feathers. We also see bonnets composed of white crape, covered with bh ck tulle and lace, and of bright colored velvet. I'he crown is of crape; the curtain and front of the bonnet ol velvet. Crape is not certainly an appropriate material for the month of January, excepting in a ball room, and yet it is now worn, even in walk ing, as a morning bonnet. Day dresses are still made with a deep flounce, l eaded with a pulling, or with several narrow flounces Waists are generally round, with a wide scarf sash, bordered with lace or with fringe, or else a waistband, without ends, fastened by a gold, or silver or steel buckle. Very email lappets are still in vogue; they are cut in points, and bordered with lace. Sat in, both black and colored, is inuch used again as a materia) for robes. Two skirts, richly trimmed with fringe or lace, is the usual style ol these dresses. The corsage sometimes open, with a plastron of tulle puffings and lace trimmings. Horrible Murder in Philadelphia. About 10i o'clock, on last Sunday evening, a brutal and shocking murder was commit ted in the Nineteenth ward in Philadelphia, and lias caused much excitement there. It appears that a difficulty occurred at a tavern at lite northeast corner of Second and Oxford street, between the proprietor of the j place, John Alexander, and a man named I John Sloan, but they did notenme to blows, j Soon after litis Sloan, went out of tho tav- I cm and stood upon tho steps conversing with some one near, when Alexander, came to lite door and deliberately tired both loads of a double barreled pistol at Sloan. The balls passed through his cap and into the left side of his head, shattering and crush ing his skull, and strewing his brains upon the pavement. The accused was at once arrested, hut re sisted the officers violently, but is now lodged in the cells of the Seventeenth Ward Station House, awaiting the result of the Coroner's Jury. Sloan, the deceased, was about 22 years of age. His remains were conveyed to the Seventeenth Ward Station House. His fath er came to the Station House soon after the body was brought there, when a most ag onizing scene took place, 'l he Coroner was to investigate the case on Tuesday, and we have no doubt but it resulted in the convic tion of Alexander. Loltl Attempt nl Bobbery. On Wednesday night last, says the Dan ville Intelligencer injlween lite hours of 8 and 9 o'clock, while our Sheriff, Mr. Edward! Voting, was crossing the Washington hills, j on his way to Danville, his horse became unmanageable, having become friglite.icil at sotne object, near the road--do. While lite Sheriff was endeavoring to pacify the ani mal, a man sprang GI., from behind a tree, and seized '.he njins by the horse's head.— Ihe Sriil very coolly inquired his busi ness, when the would-be-robber demanded liis money, stilling that lie was poor and stood ill need of it. The Sheriff very indif ferently stated that if that was his object, lie would be gl. d to accommodate him, and proceeded forthwith to put his supposed to j be benevolent designs into execution. But i instead of money, he presented a "Six- ! Shooter," which he had wisely loaded and I secreted, and aiming it at the rascal's head, pulled the trigger, but it unfortunately miss ed fire, n heu the scamp, supposing it to be j harmless, proceeded to cut the reins, and i had nearly succeeded in his efforts, when ' the Sheriff fired a second time, discharging I the contents, bin with what effect he is un- 1 able to tell, as the villi,'in took to his heels, j and scampered off through lite woods. The reins were nearly severed in two or three places but the Sheriff wis ignorant of the fact until he arrived at homo, when on examination he first made the discovery. The rascal unduubtly intended, by thus succeeding in rendering the animal power less in the hands of the Sheriff, to accom plish his designs. The person is supposed to tie an Irishman, by hi.-language, although the Sherill lured to recognize him. This is itiO MMlontl olitiuupt ol ilia Lin. l ill unr t.oitcU i borltood. as we learned that the County Su perintendent. Mr. I'i'T.NAM, was attacked in a similar manner a short time since. We trust prompt measures will betaken to fer ret out the rascals, and have justice meted utit to ilium. WE learn that i'rof. Curtis of Levvisburg, received a telegraphic dispatch stating that his lather, Rev. Mr. Curtis, ol South Caroli na. bad been lost by the burning ol a steam er, and subsequent reports confirm it.

He [ was upwards of eighty years old, and the lire occurring after night, when all had re tired, it is supposed that lie did not awaken until the flames were all around him cutting off ail hope of escape.

TUB INDIANA D.VORCB LAWS. —Mere is a specimen of tiio o; eration of divorce laws in Indiana, demonstrated in the person of one not quite a "model wife, - ' and att outraged husband. In the discussion on amendments to the divorce law in the Senate, a case was dis covered in which a gentleman in Leaven worth, Kansas, had furnished his wife wi h money to visit her friends in the east, and to travel for the benefit ot her health. On arriving at Indianapolis, she concluded to take advantage ol the Indiana divorce law. and procure a nullification of her marriage. She then went to Kokomo, where she made an afiidavit that she was a bene fi.'e resident ol the State of Indiana, and filed a com plaint in the Howard circuit court against her husband for a divorce, a notice of which was publi.-hed iorthe benefit of iter husband who was a non-resident of the Stato. la the meantime, Iter husband thought she was in dm cast, us lie received letters trom her postmarked first at Cleveland and alter wards at lioston. While still under the impression that she was at Boston, the husband received a copv of the Howard Tribune, containing notice of the filing ol the complaint against him. He immediately left Leavenworth and arrived at Indianapolis, reaching the city on Satur day. the 20th ol November. Tho Howard circuit commenced its session on the follow ing Monday, the 22d, and to reach Kokomo in time to answer tho complaint against him, he had to hire a locomotive oa the Peru and Indianapolis railroad, to take him to Kokomo, in order to be in court at the proper iiour. The reason stated for the defence made in the case was that the wife had been in duced to ask for a divorce under improper influences. Site had been, for some time, half crazed by spiritualism, and the husband thought if tie could place her beyond those influences, she would abandon the suit.— The case is still pending. SERIOUS ACCIDENT—A young child of Mr. Micheal Reap, about five years of age, ac cidently fell into a tub filled with boiling water on Saturday, and died ill a few hours after he was taken out.

Josephine Ellison, the young girl of aban doned character, who was burned to death at a house ot ill-fame in Cincinnati, was not even allowed to rest in her grave. Some medical students had her "resurrected,' but tho police recovered the body, winch was handed over to the undertakers for the pur pose of re-burial—The frail sisters of the poor unfortunate contributed liberally to purchase an .expensive coffin, and to pay the funeral charges. They applied to sov oral clergymen to allow the funeral to take place in one of their churches, but all refus ed, until finally tho Rev. Mr. Plunders, (for merly of Baltimore,) of the First Universal is! Church, was applied to. He readily con sented, and preached an impressive dis course to a largo assemblage in the church, whither the body had been conveyed. Near ly one hundred courtezans were present, and those who resided in tho house where the girl met her death where dressed iu deep mourning, and seemed to appreciate the solemnity of the occasion. The Cincinnati Times says: At the ciose of the address, Rev. Mr. Flan ders addressed the Throne of grace, appeal ing especially in behalf of the parents of Jo sephiue Ellison, 'lhat closed the services. The undertaker then lifted the lid of the coffin and invited alt who wished to view the corpse. There was quite a rush toward j it. The courtezans, however, remained in , their seats until the rest of the congregation | were gratified. They then approached the , corpse. All wept over it, some ot them bitterly. It was a strange scene that. To behold these abandoned women, outcasts | train society, victims of vice, weeping anil j sobbing over the remains of one of their ! kind, upon the altar ol a church, was a sight . never belore witness in tins city. It was j touching, too and draw tears from the eyes of many of the spectators. . A lady writes to the Commercial: "1 knew the young girl, Josephine Ellison. I warned her to 'tlee from destruction and go home.' She was a ripe scholar and of good patronage. Thousands are going this day the same road, and tiie moral por tion of the comu.iily stand by and permit these liell) to exist all around us. When she came to this city her object was to leach needle work, and Italian and French. Those in whom she trusted betrayed her." JUVENILE PRECOCITY.—A little child of this city was holding a very animated conversa tion with one of about its own years, a few days since. A portion of it was overhead, and it appeared to be a dispute as to what their "mothers could do." After naming over various meritorious act of which their tnateruals were capable, the one in ques tion put an end to the dispute by exclaim ing : "Well, there's one thing my mother can do that your's can't— my mother can take every one of her teeth out at once.—New Haven News.
