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 ed P. W. Hitchcock U. L. Senator.

Constitutional Convention. From the house committee on con stitutional reform, a bill was reported on last Friday, 20th, by Mr. Mann. The bill provides that the question of calling a convention, and delegates thereto, shall be voted upon at a spe cial election on the first Tuesday iu June ; if a majority shall favor it, the convention shall meet on the first Tuesday in September, and the dele gates shall receive twelve dollars per day for 200 days, and five dollars per day for any longer time. The conven tion shall present either a new cousti tution or amendments to the old one, which shall be voted upon at an elec tion, and if adopted, shall be the con stitution of the state. The convention is to consist of 143 delegates —forty to the state at large, each person voting for twentv ; four to each senatorial dis trict iu Philadelphia, three to be voted for ; three to every othersingle senator ail district, two to be voted for; and six to each double district, four to be voted for.

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.

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.

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. 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 ground a class of 50 scholars could stand upon the stump or upon the same a mechanic could have his work shop, it farmer could stand a team of four horses, grate 20 head of sheep, or . winter a herd of JOswiue with no vory, Keal inconvenience unless the animals come great very suddenly. 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. 4 NM AI.
