Mr. Wavne M'Veagh, resident lTui
ted States "Minister at Constantinople,
is reported to have been ordered home
by his phvsicians.
This Vain M'Veagh is a son-in-law
of Cameron whose influence se
cured hint tho above place for which
he is about as competent as a black
smith's apprentice would be in the
manufacture of watches. This fellow
only went to Constantinople to secure
the'outfit, having receix ed that, he now
plays sick like radical bummers did
iu the army. Simon himself did the
same thing —when kicked out of Liu
colu's cabinet for his corruption, the
"late lamented" in order to let the
Winnebago down easy, appointed him
minister to St. Petersburg, with an out
fit of $25,000, which he drew, and be
ing in Russia a short time, he resigned.
Much more did Simon deserve 25
months in states prison.
Revenue Reform.
The President confesses in his mes
sage that he does not know anything
about revenue reform. So caudid a
confession of ignorance on this subject
wins respect, and we hasten to enlight
en him, and others who may know no
more than lie.
The President asks, "What do these
reformers want V
First. They want to see as few ar
ticles as possible taxed : because everv
tex is necessarily an interference with
industry.
Second. They want to see all taxes
and duties reduced to the lowest reve
nue poin'; because thus smuggling is
discouraged, and the honest trader has
a fair chance.
Third. In regard to customs duties,
they want only those articles to pay
duty which are not produced here, be
cause thus the government will get all
that the people pay, except the mere
cost of collection.
Forth. They want to see the govern
ment, when it lays taxes, do so for the
single purpose of raising revenue; and
assert that if the people wish to foster
any particular branch of industry, this
can be more cheaply done by a direct
bounty.
Customs duties are now levied upon
nearly two thousand articles. It is cer
tain that we can raise all the revenue
we need from this source by duties on
less than a hundred articles. Now, the
revenue reformers thick it more simple,
more business like, more beneficial to
the country, to get the revenue from
the smallest number of articles. They
would, in fact, apply to the customs
revenue precisely the reform which, on
the people's demand, has already been
applied to the internal revenue.
As between iron or salt, and tea or
coffee, the revenue reformers would lay
duties on the latter and make the for
mer free, because all the people pay as
duty on tea or coffee or sugar the gov
ernment receives; whereas, when a du
ty is laid on foreign iron, for every dol
lar the people pay to tiie government
they must pay twenty to a few already
wealthy iron-masters, who take the du
ty to raise the price of home-made
iron.
In 1841, Great Britaiu raised £21,-
898,845 by duties on 1183 articles, Iu
1862, she raised £24,063,000 by lower
duties on only 44 articles. The reve
nue reformers ask why we should not
profit by this lesson ? For by this ex
emption of over eleven hundred arti
cles from duty the working people were
enabled to live much more comfortably,
and many branches of industry flourish
ed which were before failing.
In like manner the experience of
Great Britain has showen that from a
low duty more revenue is raised than
from a high one; and as a low duty
makes the people more comfortable,
tbe revenue reformers wish to substi
tute moderate duties for the present
high ones.
Poultry baa brought down the price
of beef in New York. Tbe World, of
a few days ago, says :
On Monday last the price of beef in
this city was lower then it has been at
any previous time during tbe last sev
en years. From 1863 to 1868 there
was an unusual scarcity of beef in our
markets—a scarcity due partly to tbe
extraordinary demand caused by tbe
armies in the field aud partly to the
fact that the great grazing grounds of
the Middle States were rendered prac
tically useless by the presence or near
vicinity of either Union or Confederate
troops. Latterly, however, the supply
has more nearly equalled the demand,
and hence the prices have slo* ly but
steadily declined. Just at present
there is a glut of poultry and game in
the market, as is usually the case when
the weather is sufficiently cold to per
mit its transportation in a frozen state.
The butchers have therefore been forc
ed to lower the price of beef in order
to meet the competition of the poultry
dealers, and it is understood that they
are contemplating a still further reduc- j
tion of prices.
Sprague, radical senator from
Rhode Island—loyal Rhody—ls
charged with having traded with the
rebels during the late war and an in
vestigation is now going on at Wash
ington. The copperheads have noth
ing to (fo with this, it is all a radical
tea-party. How "loyalty" paid these
rnds during the war.
The Harrisburg Telegraph has an
article lavoring Wra. P. Wilson, of
Bellefonte, as the next radical candi
date for Surveyor General. We go
-'or Wilson as the rad nominee for
Surveyor General, as we went for bira
for Senator.
The Tyrone Herald comes out for
Gen. Beaver for Auditor General, and
but three weeks ago weut for Pruner,
of Tyrone, for the same office.
A crusty old bachelor says he thinks
it is woman, and uot her wrongs, that
lould be redressed.
A railroad meeting was held at
Millheim, on last Saturday, of the oit
itens of, Penn, Haines and Miles, to
confer what action should be taken to
insure the construction of the L. C. A
S. C. railroad from the forks of Penns
creek to Millheim, thence to Spring
Mills, instead of following Penns
creek to the latter place as now pro
posed. The meeting, wo are informed
was largely attended and It was re
solved to raise $40,000 to be offered to
tho company, upon condition that the
road.be brought to a point at or near
Millheim, and thus secure the great
est possible railroad accommodation
for the people of Brush valley and
Haines and Penn townships. Com
mittees were appointed in the lower
townships to raise the above aura.
The people of tho lower end should—
and we trust will —receive every ad
vantage which the topography of that
country shows they can have. Thev
have raised their share of the stock
for the grading of the road, aud that
section represents some $60,000 al
ready subscribed, which is a big item
iu tho stock subscriptions along the
route. If it is possible to make Mill
heim a poiut, we hope it will be made
such; thev have a right to present
their claimes, and ofler extra induce
ments for having the road take that
direction —aud should it bo necessary
to go to a little diversion on the line,
j they should be favored without an ad
ditiioual cent, uuless tho obstacles to
be over-come in so doiug would out
weigh any inducement they may offer,
jn which event —they being satisfied
that such is the ease —we know they
will be content, let the road go where
ft may. We feel satisfied that it is the
intention of the eompauy to do its ut
most to favor where the interests of
the read allow it —we know that any
section presenting its claims—as it has
a right to do —will receive a hearing
and if the people of the lower end can
present a favorable route from Mill
heim to Spring Milk, let them take
immediate action, and lay the fact be
fore the proper officers; we are sure
they will get the support aud sympa
thy of every stock holder west ot
Millheim.
The Nebraska legislature had elect

Mr. Hitchcock received the votes of

From the house committee on con
stitutional reform, a bill was reported

Anno Domini one thousand eight hun
dred and seventy.
The bill extends the time for the
killing of deer from the 20th of De
cember to the Ist of January.
This bill passed the senate on the
18th.
Effrontery of the Land Grab Lob
byists.
It appear? that no matter what pro
ject is started in Washington to be
put through congress in aid of any in
terest, industrial, experimental or
charitable, somewhere iu the bill or
resolution will be found a clause au
thorizing a land grani. In most cases
the land grant is the only distinct feat
ure of the bill, leaving other matters,
such as the object of the land dona
tion, indefinitely stated. A correspon
dent says:
"The speaker's table is now remark
ably clear of bills, there being only
forty-two upon it that have passed the
senate. But of that number thirty
five bills and resolutions contain each
only one distinct feature for legisla
tion, viz., a land grant for a railroad,
college, harbor or levee. Thirty-one
of these ask land grants for railroads.
In addition to this there are more than
a hundred bills and resolutions in the
two land committees, a large number
in the Pacific railroad committees,
and several in tbe commerce commit
-1 tees which ask land grants in aid of
j steamship and other schemes, and
j about a dozen asking land grants in
aid of ocean cable schemes. The only
i ones that are dangerous are those now
. on the speaker's table., which may be
passed at any time under suspension of
the rules.
THE GREAT €OAL STRIKE.
All the Collerles in the Shainokin
Coal Basin Suspended, Except
Three or Four Collisions between
the Strikers and Non-Society
Men—Bloodshed Expected.
Ashland, Pa., Jan. 20.—1t is now repot
ted that all the collieries in the Mhamokin
basin have suspended with the exception of
three or four, and great efforts are being
made by the Workingmen's Benevolent
Association to get the miners at those col
lieries to stop. In the extreme western end
of the Schuvlkill region there were three
collieries in operation yesterday. The men
employed there do not belong to the
Workiugnien's Benevolent Association.
Some of the striking members of the
Workingmen's Benevolent Association
have made proposals to work there, but it
is doubtful whether they will procuresitua
tions, as the men engaged are sufficient to
operate the mines.
As was anticipated, the suspension has
resulted in acts of violence, the strikers
tampering and fighting with the non-asso
ciation men. Several attacks have been
made in the Shainokin district which have
resulted seriously for both parties. Furth
er and more aggravated disturbances are
expected, as the non-association men will
not quiet, and the strikers are determine! to
compel them. Preparations have been
made bv\the operators who own these col
leries to protect their property and men ; j
and as they are warelike, it is not difficult'
to imagine the result. Men ami women
>ng:Hjr* in these assaults, ami mv that noth
ing will intimidate them trom their purpose
of compelling a general suspension.
From the present indication* there will
be mora bloodshed than ever before. Not
withstanding all those contentions report*
still continue to the effect that the difficulty
will soon be settled, and a basis arranged
between the Workingmen's Benevolent
Association and the Anthracite Board of
Trade, but th*.vare conflicting, and hnrdly
woith credence There i* no doubt, how
ever, that the respectable and industrious
class of miners would much prefer to be at
work, as money is scarce with them, and
there is no subsistence for their families.

Parisian Determination.
Loudou, January 16 —Advices
have been received here stating that
the Parisions are determined to resist
the Prussians en masse, should Gener
al Trochu allow the eneniv to enter the
city. The idea of yielding is repulsed
with iudignation. All accounts agree
that resistance to the eneniv will be
shown that will not have been equalled
in the aunals of war.
The horrors of bombardment have
so enraged the population that they
are furious, aud will go out to meet
and fight the enemy despite all the
military caution aud" all the interfer
ence of the government. If this is
presisted in no horrors of civilisation
yet heard of will be able to find a par
allel.
iYoyress of the Bombardment.
A dispatch from Versailles states
that on Monday the Prussian fire
slackened aud the bombardiueut was
much duller than ou previous days.
This was rendered necessary by the
deuse fog which prevailed at the time,
, causing the guuuers to lose the sights
aud ranges which they had previously
j taken, and rendering their tire ineffec
tual.

same by affixing their signature.

on that street, shot the woman dead ana
with the same revolver blew out his own

LKNA, 111., JAN. 17th 1871. !
Friend Kurt*.—Thinking that few (
item* from thi* place would microti at ,
least a portion of your renders, I shall |
endeavor to give you n short history (
of the doings and savings of this place. (
To begin with, this has been a rcmar- (
kuble winter thus fur. We here bad ,
generally two or three days as tine
weather as we often experience during
the mouth of May, then for four or five
days in succession cold as Greenland i
blowing bard enough to lift a person
completely off their feet, but a person,
gets us*d to such things. Due of the]
scarcest article* just uow is water, near
ly all the wells in this place havegiv
en out and water is hauled one half
mile from town, and retailed by the]
pail. The prospects now are that tin
supply of water will be snort until we
get plenty of rain.
\ uu deserve great credit for enlarg- .
iug uud improving your paja-r, hope
you will be amply repaid lor the labor |
and expense, by au increase in the ctr- ]
dilution of the patter. No one who
lias ever lived in old Centre, and now I
lives iu the far west, can utlbrd to be
wilhout it, coming as it dues every j
week bringing with it all the home]
news telling of every event of impor
tance transpiring in the county.
Events, that to a great many would be
entirely unknown, were they without
the Reporter. I have seen from time
to time in the columns of the Reporter
notices of large hogs, weighing from]
four to six hundred pounds, here it is
almost a duily occurence to see droves
of hogs weighing from three to five
buudred pounds. We shipped one
last week thut weighed nine hundred
and twenty pounds. There have been
heavier ones than that tdiipjted front!
this station. The shipmeut of live:
hogs from this station to Chicago da j
riug the mouth of December 1870, 1
amounted to twenty eight hundred and
forty one head, and if the shipments
for this mouth coutiuue as they have,
thus far, it will be nearly double, Pork
is bringing from 84, 75 to $5,50 ja-r
100 lb, dressed Pork $5,75 to $0.25.
Business is dull here at present, a great
many people arc out of employment.
There was aw edding here a few days
ago, Mr. Daniel Alexander, was mar
ried to Miss Heckmau, both parties
liave friends aud relatives in Peuus
valley, to whom this item will be
uews, —the gentleman was a pupil of
the writer in the old Rock Forge school,
• manv years ago.
I have not seen very many Centre
county folks this winter. A number
of the people in this neighborhood urc
at present ill the East visiting friends,
Mr. and Mm. Philip Musser of Leua
left two weeks ago to pay a visit to
their friends iu Ceutre county, and 1
presume are by this lime feasting ou
the fat of the laud somewhere in (he
Loon, they expect to make a call with
all tneir friends ere they return.
What ha# become of all the Buffalo
Run news? Has that poetry machine
frozen up, or ruu out of steam, or is it
getting ready for a spring campaign. 1
expect if the owner of the machine see#
the Reporter in its new dress, he will
be for grindiug out a poem on its sty-]
lish appearance. Emigration weat
ward is again the cry here, all say let i
us sell and go west where we can get
homes for nothing, seme of those homes
for nothing are good, others are good
for nothing, let me say, where a man
ha# a good comfortable home nil paid,
for and is doing reasonably well, let
him stick to it. I have lately receiv
ed letters from different parties in the
east re<juestiug me to get them situa
lions, to all such I would say, if you
cau get any kind of employment at
home during the winter stick, to it
( although }ou make but fifty cents per
day,) until spring then if you still have
the western fever, come on, there will
then be room sad work for all. The
election in this countv last fall went
Democratic, an uulooked for event to
nearly all. To-day it is snowing very
fast, has been snowing since midnight,
and still there is not two inches of
snow lying on the level, but plenty of
snow bank# along fences ami houses.
This is one of the greatest counties for
wind storms, I ever saw. There is no
such thing a# getting along a# I sit here
writing, the wind is howling fiercely
and the snow is drifting in at every
crevice. Stern winter is upou us in
all its fierceness. I presume you had a
mild winter thus far as well a# we, last
week the people talked of digging gar
den, now they are housing up and pre
paring to wait until spring does come.
One thing I would like to know, are
deer and near# plenty in and around
the Bear Meadows this winter, who will
let me know? I often think of the
days and nights I spent in ,the Seven
Mountains in search of game and feel
sometimes as though I would like to
spend a short time there now, to see
what cou'd be done but I think it is
about time for me to close,hoping that
the circulation of your excellent paper
may be doubled and that it may prove
a success.

THE MAMMOTH TREE
Thirty feet in Cirfumference, and
1900 Years Old.
Mr. Jas. Love, one of our subcri
bcrs, in Troy, 0., sends us the follow
ing, which he clipped from an Ohio
paper:
Editor Times: There is staiuliug
nt present ou the farm of Mr. Jacob
Furrow in Lout Creek Township, Mi
ami county, Ohio, a sycamore tree,
which has for years been considered
by the old settlers of this county the
giant of the forest of the Miami Val
ley. Thinking a brief description of
this tree may be of interest to many
of your numerous readers, we send you
a chronological, historical and descrip
tive account of the same. It stands
on the left bank of Honey Creek, 40 ft
from the (astern line of Miami county
and about 80 rods from the town of
Addison, Campaign county, Ohio.
Its age cannot be put down at less
than 1300 years which would place its
primitive days coeval with the time
wheu Charlemagne was proclaimed
emperor of Koine and the West.
During the periods of ignorance and
the decay of learning in the east, it
was youthful. At the time of the con
quest of Jerusalem by the Turks,
which took place at or about the close
of the tenth century, it had uttuinod a
stature that enabled it to look up with
importance among its neighbors.
When the Holy Year was instituted,
or Home was decaying, which was
long before such u land as America
was thought of, it was ranked among
the greats. Perhaps often did the In
dian hunter sit among its branches to
watch and shoot the deer as they were
wunt to come to a lick not far distant.
It bight is 100 feet with a base or
stump which measures 10 feet across
or more than 30 feet around. The
first 12 feet of the body contains 12
cords of wood. The branches, not
limbs, of which there are four, each
diverges from the main body at an
angle of about 35 degrees, and oach
branch beating off in a different direc
tion, reaches respectively towards an
iuterm diate point of the compass.—
Each branch measures, at the base,
rnure that 3 yards, and contains each ■
10 cords of wood which would make at
a moderate estimate, 50 cords of wood
in the tree. Were the branches a j
continuous body the tree would be 460 f
feet high, with a diameter of aix feet (
average. Were it in some of the boat 1 ,
of our wood markets enough of mooty ,
could be realised from it* sale to pur- |
chase a half section of land, or it would |
furnish sufiiciciit fuel for eight families ,
of n moderate site during one year.— ,
It contains lumber enough to build a
church and school house sufficiently
large to accommodate all the people of;
a common country neighborhood.—
Were it sawed off smoothly near the

Two Brother* Drowned -The
Father Bereft of Kttuton in Con-
Heqaence.
I The following we copy from tha >
latnenster Express of Monday :
"Yesterday about noon a sad
drowning accident occurred on the
Couestoga, near Federal Springs, in
lomeaster township, two uud a half
miles southwest of this city, by which
two very interesting children lost their
lives. The children were brothers,
aged about eight find ten years, named
jllarman and Jesse Seiluman, sons ol
Mr. Charles Seiluman. It seems that
the children asked permission of their
father to go on the ice ou the creek a
short distance from their home, which
was denied several times. Their ap
peals were so urgent, however, that he
finally consented aud went with them
•;to the creek. The ice was soft and
dangerous, a fact not knowu to the
, father. As soon as the three reached
I the creek both boys got on the ice. and
were walkiug upon it, when a German
. man, residing iu the neighborhood,
knowing the treacherous nature of the
■ ice, and seeing it quiver, motioned to
them to go back. Tha warning was
l given too late, for almost immediately
the ice gave way, and both boys
• were precipitated into the water.
- One of them sunk at once, but the
• other clung to a r -ke of ice. The
- father, who wituessed the catastrophe,
■ speedily secured a rope and managed
I : to get it within reach of his still sur
, viviug son. But just at that moment
the ice tilted, and he also disappeared
s ] beneath aud was drowued. The bodies
r were recovered shortly afterwards.
Another sad feature of the accident is
,jthe fact that the father has become be
i reft of his reasou by the terrible
i calamity. Mr. Seilaman was a soU
I dier in the late war, aud this morning
i he appeared dressed in his uniform,
i Ha carried a raue and constantly
i poiutcd it in the direction of the
j creek, while he uttered incoherent ex
i clamations."
New York, January 7.—Au impor
tant decision was made this afternoon
by Justice Brandy iu the Supreme
Court, relating to the right of stock
holders to examine books of railroad
oompanies. Mr. Churchill according
to recitals in the writ, was the owner
of seventy shares of Erie Railway com
mou stuck. He applied within thirty
days before the election to Mr. Gould,
Freaideut, and Mr. Otis, Secretary, for
ins|iection of the books, and was de
nied such inspection. The case was
argued before Justice Brady at the
December tjrm, and in the opioion de
li vered to day, he decided that the n
lator wa# entitled to peremlorv manda
mus, and awarded him cost, inasmuch
as he had not been permitted to ex
amine the books of the company, so
Mr. Gould was proceeded against a#
President of the company, aud the
company, by its demurrer admits
what Mr. Gould denies. He refused
costs to Mr. Gould.
Hon. John Covode bad nine chil
dren. The deceased left property esti
mated to be worth between $1,000,000
aud $1,500,000.

Appalling Accident.
London, January 12.—An uppall
ing accident has just accurrod at
Sheffield, England. The explosion
took place in a colliery in the vicinity
of that town, iu wfhich a number of
men were engaged at work. Ho far as
has been ascertained thirty-seven men
have been killed. It is probable that
the calamity may prove still greater'
on investigation than it now appears.
- - # " ■ - -
During the year 1870, there was a
{total of 255.506 emigrants reached
our shores, or some three thouaaud
leas than during the year 1869. Ger
many and Ireland furnish us the larg
est proportion of our foreigu popula
tion, in fact nearly as much as all the
Other nations of the earth combined.
While Ireland has increased slightly
!over the emigration of 1809, Germany
] has fallen oil nearly thirty thousand.
