Pleasant the evcnihgv,T
ginning of the week at a frieSd'slfouse above
Curwensville. It always makes us feel cheery,
aud arouses the kindliest feelings of our heart,
when we mingle with such sociable, agreeable
and hospitable folks as we met on this occa
sion. Pic Nic Parties seem to be plenty in this
place just now. there having been no less than
two or three last week. We attended a large
one on Saturday, which was a fine affair. An
abundant supply of "the good things of earth"
was on hand, to which ample justice was ren
dered. Such pic-nics are good institutions. .
Rotal Game or Chess. Dates from Hono
lulu, Sandwich Islands, of the 24th Mat-, state
that the king had officially announced to the
Legislature his intention of marrying Miss
Emma Rooke. The Philadelphia &n says
this is contrary to the rules laid down by Phi
lador : a rook may hold a king iD check but
cannot take him .
Isvasios of Nicaragua. By a late arrival,
via Panama, we have news from San Jose, Cos
ta Rica, to Juno 27. The papers state that
General Mora, the Commander-in-Chief of the
army, the Vice President and the Secretary of
State had all died of cholera. The troops of
Guatemala and San Salvador had nnited for
the invasion of Nicaragua.
A Terrible Disaster occurred on the 16th
July, by the burning of the steamer Northern
Indiana, while on her passage to Toledo from
Buffalo. Largo numbers of the passengers
were rescued by the steamer Mississippi, and
others were saved by a propeller and schooner.
Notwithstanding this, from thirty to fifty are
reported to have been lost.
Sad Affair. Sarah Terry, aged 13, daugh
ter or John A. Terry, of Liut.Hr McKcan
county, Pa., was shot by a younger brother, on
the 22d June. They were in the woods huut
ing, and had treed a squirrel. The girl was
standing between it and her brother, who told
ber to move or he would shoot her. She re
fnsed and he fired the load entering her side,
from the effects of which she died in abont 38
hours. This should serve as a warning not to
leave children have fire-arms.
The Fremoxt Bahxer. "I see," says a cor
respondent of the Boston Atlas, "that in Penn
sylvania the Buchanan men are forming
Wheatland Clubs,' (Wheatland is tho name
f Buchanan's home,) with banners bearing as
a device a sheaf of Wheat. I beg to suggest
tat the banner incribed with the name of John
C. Fremont should have as its device a thresh
tng machine. That sheaf of wheat is destined
to be thrashed, and the wheat to be gathered
into any other garner than that of the border
rulnans."
Improvements. We are pleased to sec that
a spirit of improvement is awake in our town
At this time we observe preparations for buil
ding at different points. Mr. Jonathan Boyn
ton has torn away his former residence, and is
erecting a fine brick dwelling on its site. W.
L. Moore, Esq., is putting up a brick dwellin
a 1 w
ou me corner ot locust and 2d Sts.. aud Jas
B. Graham, Esq., is putting a fine addition to
his house on the corner of Market and 2d St
There are other improvements going on, all of
which will add to the appearance of our town
ju.urdr. Ue learn by the Lock Haven
Watchman, that on the 9th July, Wm. ITall
was killed, at Kettle Creek, by Jacob W
i louts. Hall, who was in his employ, it ap
pears, had ridden one of his horses and lamed
him. A quarrel ensued, and after handling a
man named Jerry Harkins roughly for inter
""si iwn. 1111 riue ana snot iiau tnro
the breast, killing him instantly it is supposed
urs. i ioms gave the alarm, and when the
neighbors came in they found the three men
lying on the floor. Pfouts was arrested and
committed to the Lock Haven jail. It seems
Rum was at the bottom of the affair.
A Frightful Railroad Accident occurred
near Gwynned Station on the North Pennsyl
vania railroad, 13 miles from Philadelphia, on
the 17th inst., by which not less than 50 per
sons were killed, and between 200 and 300
wounded. An excursion train, containing the
scholars and teachers of the Roman Catholic
church of St. Michaels, Kensington, who were
going to Fort Washington on a pleasure trip,
was run into by the regular down train. The
cars of the former were driven on top of each
other, and to add to the calamity caught fire
A most heart-rending scene ensued nineteen
men, women ana cniiuren were roasted to
death, others crushed and horribly mangled,
and the groans and cries of the wounded and
burning were appalling in the extreme. Rev
Mr. Sheriden, priest of St. Michael, was tho't
to be among the burned. It is estimated that
1100 persons were on the train when the col
lision occurred.
Flavoring Matters. One of the most re
markauic, ana interesting achievements of
modern chemistry has been the preparation of
certain liquids possessing the flavors of vari
u3 ii una. oi ciose inueeu is tne resem
blance that we are almost warranted in suppo
sing the flavor of the fruits to be actually cau
sed by the presence of a trace of the above li
quids. Several of these articles are employed
i tuuicciiuiiary, ana are manuiacturea on a
tolerably large scale. The acetate of amylic
oxyd, when dissolved in six times its bulk of
alcohol, emits a most powerful and agreeable
odor of pears, . and is iix1 in i3avArie r"--
drops. The valerate of amyle, dissolved in al-
ihol, gives the scent and flavor of apples.
rttync-ether communicates the flavor of the
threal-.tiieapple, and is used in the preparation of
various beverages. Various other compounds
of the so-called fatty acids, with the oxyd of
amyle and etbyle, possess very pleasing odors.

MB. OLIVEE'S MINORITY EEP0ET.
This gentleman, as onr readers are aware,
was one of the Congressional Committee that
went to Kansas to inquire into the alleged
outrages and wrongs, of which so much has
been s.tid. He did not co-operate very kind
ly with his colleagues, Messrs. Howard and
Sherman, for the best of reasons, viz : that
the disclosures there made bore very hard
against the side he rad espoused, and against
a large number of Missourians, a port of whom
are Mr. Oliver's constituents, who went into
Kansas to help the people in voting. When
Messrs. Howard and Sherman made their re
port, which has been extensively read, and
has made a deep impression on the public
mind, Mr. Oliver announced that he should
present a minority report, which would be an
embodiment of his visws. On Friday last, he
fulfilled his promise, and made his report.
It is long, but very unsatisfactory and in
conclusive, lie deals largely in generalities
and broad, sweeping assertions, denying the
truthfulness of his colleagues' report, but un
fortunately, he does not establish the truth of
his own. The fact is, Mr. Oliver was in a very
delicate position as a member of the Kansas
Committee. It is proved conclusively that he
teat u-ilh his Missouri brethren when they went
into the Territory to aid the people to choose
a Legislature. He says he did not vote, but
he did make a speech to tho border men while
they were in Kansas cheating the people out
ot their just rights. He did not vote, but did
he admonish the Missourians that they had no
right to vote ? by no means. lie was with
them for the purpose of seeing that enough
should cast their votes to have the Legislature
of the right stamp. Mr. Oliver's report will
have very little influence with intelligent, fair
minded men. It is the testimony of one who
was particcps criminis, partaker of the crime,
lie must make out the best case he can for
himself and his Missouri neighbors and friends.
The more the Kansas troubles are investi
gated, the worse they appear on the side of
Mr. Oliver and the border men. There is not
the shadow of a doubt that there was a deep
laid plan to overawe, terrify, and cheat the
bona fide inhabitants of Kansas in all their e
lections, but especially the one on the 31st of
March, '5-5. Then a Legislature was to be
chosen, and it was thought if men of the right
stamp could then be put in power, the institu
tion of slavery would be firmly established in
the Territory. The Missourians, therefore,
went over to tho number of four thousand
nine hundred and twenty-one. Not quite so
many as that, however ; they cast that num
ber of votes, but it is proved that some of them
voted five, six and seven times. The votes
they polled amounted to 4921, while the real
settlers, pro-slavery and anti-slavery, polled
but fourteen hundred and ten. Wo should
like to see Mr. Oliver attempt to explain er
controvert this fact. Anybody can make b Id
and bold assertions, but it is hard to make in
telligent, reacting men believe that the facts
embodied an proved in the Report of Messrs.
Howard and Sherman are fictions. PhiVaSun.
