The members of the SGth Con gress met at 'Washington City last week, but for all that has so far been done, they would better hare staid at home. Discord, excite ment and violerce have characterized most of the proceedings. Scarcely had the members taken their scats, the noose yet unorganized, when the agitation of the Slavery question was vigorously recommenced by the Demo crats. In the Senate, Mr. Mason, of Virginia, proposed a resolution of inquiry into John Brown's seizure of the Harper's Ferry-arsenal, the ostensible object being to draw out all the facts and ascertain whether any persons not participating in the outbreak were implicated in it or accessory to it ; bnt the real purpose is doubtless to give a chance for making flaming spread-eagle speeches, and to ad vance the interests of certain aspirants for Presidential honors. The Opposition were willing to have the inquiry made, asking only in addition that the committee should extend its investigations to the captnre of the arse nal at Franklin, Missouri, daring the Kansas troubles, and see who were the guilty parties theie, and to what use they applied the arms and ammunition then taken. While Mr. Ma son was thus taking the preliminary sten to 6t3rt a slavery discussion in the Senate, Mr. Clark, of Missouri, another Democrat, with out waiting for an organization of the House, performed the same office in that body, and insisted on having the House decide whether the doctriees and sentiments of Mr. Helper's book, the "Impending Crisis of the South," which made its appearance three or four years ago, are not incendiary and hostile to the peace and harmony of the country, and whether Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, who, it would seem, allow ed his name to be attached to a recommenda tion of the book, is not thereby disqualified lor the position of Speaker a dangerous char acter, perhaps a traitor. This at once opened up a contest which thus far has prevented the election of a Speaker, and given rise to vio lent controversies and disgraceful conduct on the part of some of the members. The Is. Y. Evening Post's correspondent gives the follow ing sketch of a scene on Tuesday "At last, steady, grave, but determined Thad. Stevens pressed his point of order, that but two motions were, or could be, in order the motion to proceed to elect a Speaker, and the motion to adjourn. He said but little, but even this little was most shamefully interrupt ed by Crawford, of Georgia, who approached him defiantly, swinging his fist in his face. A fight was imminent, and probably, with almost any other member in Stevens' place, would have occurred. Keitt, who was on the watch, now came up close by the side of Crawford, and placed his right hand on a revolver beneath his coat, ready, doubtless, for any emergency." This is a foretaste of what may be expected. We do not think that the real objection to Mr. Sherman is the one assigned. The leaders of the Democratic party know that ho is thoroughly acquainted with the corruptions and villainies of the Administration; they know that if chosen Speaker he will appoint such committees of investigation as will thor oughly expose the rottenness which is a stench in the highways and byways of Washington ; and they know that such exposure will be fa tal to the further supremacy of the party. To prevent this Sherman must bo defeated, and if their own candidate, Bocock, cannot be elect ed, their effort will be to get into the Speak er's chair some man whom they can control in the appointment of certain committees. If the delay in the organization of the House would effect only party organizations, it would be a matter of little moment ; but as it is caus ing great waste of the public treasure, and de lay in the payment of mail contractors and others who have claims upon the Treasury, it assumes a more serious phaze, the responsibil ity of which rests upon the Democratic party. At the municipal election held in Xew York city on the 6th inst., Fernando Wood, Demo crat, was elected Mayor. The Herald speaks of the Council, also Democratic, thus : "The voters of this metropolis succeeded, on Tuesday, in electing the vilest and most ras A Corporation we have ever had, prominent inais-it members being three iudicted crim other io. nder indictment for murder, an- "Jin SpIS1?2 the Tie.sury.and the ment in the Penx. sentence of imprison We may be prepare., f felonioD8 r,sn of corrupt job flourishing SJ?

On Tuesday night, Dec. 6th, at about one o'clock, a fire occurred in Bellefonte, which resulted in the entire de struction of the frame bouses owned by Isaac May and Charles Brown, on Bishop street. It is supposed the fire ongmated from brands-of charcoal, which Mr. Brown obtained from a coal wagon .during the day and piled up in the rear oi his premises. When discovered, the fire had made considerable progress in that quarter so much in fact, that no effort on the part of our citizens could arrest the flames. The families of Mr. May and Mr. Brown had retired, and slept soundly until the neighbors aroused them. Some of Brown's children were rescued just in time to save them from' the devouring element, and it was extremely difficult for some of the older members of the family to realize their danger. But few arti cles of value were saved. Mr. Brown's loss is estimated at about twelve hundred dollars. He had no insurance on the property. Mr. May however was more fortunate in the con flagration. His residence was attached to Mr. Brown's, in which the fire originated, but from the fact that it did not communicate with his premises immediately, the most of his val uable household property" was saved. Mr. May's loss is covered by an insurance of one thousand dollars. It was with extreme difficul ty the residence of the Catholic Priest, and other bn. dings in the immediate vicinity were saved. At one time their destruction was thought to be inevitable, but the dampness of the weather favored the efforts of the citizens to stay the conflagration. Indiana County. Mrs. Conrad Rice, an elderly lady of the town of Indiana, week be fore last, having ventured upon the hay-mow, slipped, as she was descending, aud dislocated her shoulder. ....

On the 24th Nov., Mr. John Cieighton, of Linden, a clerk in John son's store, whilst assisting to get a hogshead of molasses into the cellar, was killed instant ly, in consequeace ot the hogshead slipping off the rope and rolling over him. . . . On the 25th, Mr. H. II. Brown, of Newberry, who was engaged, in company with some other men, getting out logs on Pine Creek, went oat from the party to cut down a tree for some particu lar purpose. As he did not return, towards evening, one of the men went in search of him and 1'uund Lira under the tree, which he-had cut down, dead, his skull broken in and other wise injured. It was supposed that a limb fell from the tree and struck him on the head, kill ing him instantly. Mifflin County.

Thursday night Dec. 8th, two men named Daniel Howe and George Connelly were arrested at Trevorton, and taken to the Sunbury jail, charged with "shoving" counterfeit notes and coin. The amount of spurious money obtained was $430, of which $73 were coin. Of the notes up wards of $100 were 5's on the Stroudsburg Bank, several 20's on the Northumberland Bank, besides notes on other Banks. Westmoreland County. On the 1st inst., a German laborer named Wm. Jones, commit ted suicide, near the village of Waterlown, in Ligonier township. Ho lived with a man named Wilson, and had been husking corn in the barn. Having stripped himself naked, he hung himself with a harness line to the joist, and when found, life was extinct. He was a young man and unmarried, and no causo for the rash act has been assigned. Washington County. On Friday night, Dec. 2d, the dwelling bouse and store of Mr. Aaron Brawdy, situate in Downingsville, was entirely burnt to ashes. All the store goods, furniture, weaving apparoI,'&c, were consu med. There was an insurance of $3000 in the Washington Mutual Company. The Sheriff had levied on the property a few days before, and Mr. Brawdy was from home at the time the fire occurred. Fayette County. On the 1st inst., a little son of Mr. Robert Campbell, who resided a bout a mile below Brownsville, was playing about the steep bank of the Monongahela, when a drayman overturned his dray and rolled a large barrel of water down the bank, which striking the child, jammed his head against a log, crushing it and causing instant death. Green County. The brick house, near the river in Cumberland township. known as Rice's Tavern, now owned by Simon Moredock, was ournea to the ground on the 30th Nov., with anaoe to 8aye themselves b barely nient wChnstian quarrel has occurred at broken ofr1tt.lepiece of the marble pave whether theiiFch of the Nativity had been should repair theXJway.

So this was done, and the believers were restored to peace by the happy interview of the infidels.

THIRTY-SIXTH CONGRESS. Dec. 5. Both nouses of Congress met to day. In the Senate, Mr. Mason of Virginia submitted ft resolution, to lie over one day, for the appointment of a Committee of Inves tigation respecting the Harper's Ferry inva sion. Mr. Trumbull of 111., gave notice of an amendment to inquire into the seizure of the arsenal at Franklin, Missouri. Mr. Gwin gave notice of a Pacific Railroad bill, ' when the Senate adjourned. In the House, a ballot was had for Speaker, in which there was no-choice Mr. Bocock being named by 80, Mr. Sher man by 66, Mr. Grow by 43, Mr. Boteler by 14, and twelve other members receiving one and two votes. Mr. Grow withdrew his name, and a motion to adjourn, made by, Mr. Burnett of Kentucky,' Administration Democrat, was car ried.' Dec. C. In the Senate, Mr. Mason's resolu tion for information respecting the Harper's Ferry Invasion came up again,eliciting debate, in which Messrs. Trumbull, Mason, Hall, Hun ter, Davis, Green, Crittenden, Wilson, Clark, Brown, Pugh, and Iversou participated, when the Senate adjourned without taken the ques tion. In the "House; debate on Mr. Clark's resolution relative to Mr. Helper's book was resumed, Mr. Clark taking the floor. He was followed by Mr. Gilmer, who moved a substi tute, reiterating the declarations heretofore made by the Whig and Democratic parties re sisting ail attempts at a renewal of Slavery agitation. The previous question was moved ; but, in a tie vote, the House refused to order it taken. A long debate ensued, when the House adjourned without having a ballot for Speaker, or taking a vote on Mr. Clark's res olution. Dec. 7. In the Senate, Mr. Clay gave no tice of a bill to repeal the Fishing Bounties act. Mr. Powell,of a bill to abolish the frauk ing privilege. Mr. Mason's Harper's Ferry resolution was then taken up again and deba ted, but no question was taken up to4 o'clock, when the Senate adjourned. In the House, Mr. Kellog, on a question of privilege, had read the N. Y. Tribune's special Washington dispatch, referring to tho first day's proceed ings, in which it was claimed that the Repub lican side of the House should not be held re sponsible for the cowardly performance of the day. Mr. Kellogg took exception to the po sition assumed in the dispatch. The discussion was continued, Messrs. McCtemand, Duell, Morris, and Garnett, participating ; and then it was proposed by Mr. Win slow that the House proceed informally to a vote for Speak er. The proposition was received with cries of "Agreed." After a personal episode be tween Messrs. Pryor and Nelson, a vote was had which stood for Sherman, 107 ; Bocock, 88; Gilmer, 22 ; scattering, 14. No choice 116' being required. Dec. 8. Mr. Slidell gave notice in the Sen ate of a bill making an appropriation to facili tate negotiations for the acqusition of Cuba. Mr. Johnson also gave notice of a Homestead bill. Mr. Mason's Harper's Ferry resolution was then taken up again, and speeches made, when the Senate adjourned to Monday. The discussion on the Helper Book was resumed in the House and continued throughout the session. No vote was taken on Spealrer. Dec. 9. Senate not in session. In the House, Mr. Morris, on a question of privilege, called attention to the charge made by Mr. Kellogg that Mr. Greeley had had a political interview with Senator Douglas in the latter's parlor ; and also had read Mr. Greeley's de nial. Mr. Kellogg replied that Horace Gree ley and Senator Douglas had been put on trial, and he (Mr. K.) gave notice that ho would hereafter prosecute tho issue. Mr. Logan said the charge was- made to injure Mr- Dou glas who was the candidate for the Presiden cy on the part of the great North West to injure him by associating him with Mr. Gree ley. 31 r. L. declared that he would never a gain notice Mr. Kellogg, who, he said, when called upon for proof of his charges, like a spaniel shrunk into a corner. At this point Mr. Kellogg rose from his seat, and, as if with hostile intent,advanced toward Mr. Logan who put him into a defensive attitude. Members in the immediate vicinity seized upon both to restrain them, and much excitement prevailed throughout the Hall. The Clerk called loud ly lor order, and Messrs. K. and L. being widely separated, Mr. Logan continued his re marks, announcing that he was perfectly cool. Mr. Morris called for the Sergeant-at-Arms, but order was, after a while, restored. Mr. Taylor took the floor and proceeded to say that it was time these irritating discussions ceased, and that the representatives of the people should proceed to an election quietly and decently. They should have some com petent person to preserve order. After some cross-firing relative to applause and hisses in the galleries and on the door, Mr. Logan pro nounced Mr. Kellogg's charge false in every respect. Mr. McClernand produced a letter from Mr.Douglas branding the charge as false. Mr. Logan again took the floor, reprobating the action of the Republican party in Illinois. Then followed a series of questions and replies between Messrs. Haskin and Logan, when Mr. Stanton obtained the floor, saying that he would yield it if the House desired taproceed to the election of a Speaker,provided he could have the floor again. This was agreed to, and a vote was taken,standing : For Mr.Sherman, 110; Mr. Bocock, 88; Mr. Gilmer, 20 ; scat tering, 13. Attempts were made by Mr.IIick man to move tho plurality rnle, but they were declared out of order, and the House adj. Washington, Dec. 10. Mr. Curry, of Ala bama, in a speech to-day, manfully acquitted the Republicans from any complicity with Brown's foray, or responsibility lor Helper s Book. It is believed tho discussion will con tinue in the House several days more, aud per haps during the week, Democrats being de termined to resist the plurality. A meeting of the Southern Opposition was held this evening, Mr. Gilmer acting as chair man. It was resolved unanimously not to support any Democrat for Speaker, but to maintain their present position, consistently voting for one of their own men. This is their first formal and decisive action as a party. An efligy of Gov. Wise was hung on a tree, in Woburn, Mass., on Saturday.

GIVEN under my hand at Clearfield, this 3Jth dy of Nov. in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine, and tho ighty aecoud year of American Independence. FREDERICK G. MILLER. Sheriff. SCROFULA, OR KING'S EVIL, is a con stitutional diiease, a taiLt. orcorruption of tb blo4, by which this fluid becomes vitiated weak, and poor. Being in tho circulation, it pervade the whole body, and may burst out iu disease on any part of it. No organ is free from its aiuakc, nor is there one which it may not destroy. Tha scrofulouj tnict is variously caused bv mercurial disease, low living, or disordered or unhealthy food. va ure air, filth aud filthy habits, the depres sing vices, and, above all. by the venereal iuf ac tion. Whatever be its origin, it is hereditary in th constitution, descending from parents -to chilJrui. unto the third a.nd fourth generation;" iudeel it seems to be the rod of Him who says. -'I will viit the iniquities of the fathersupon tfioirchi! Jren." It effects commence by deposition from the blood of corrupt and ulcerous mattcr.w hioh. in the laos. liver, aud internal organs, is termed tubercles; li the glands, swellings; and on the surface, erup tions or sores. This foul corruption, whih gen ders iu the blood, dtpresses the energies of life, t that scrofulous constitutions not only suffer from scrofulous complaints, but they have far less powr to withstand the attacks of other diseases ; conse quently, vast numbers perish by disorder whicL. although not scrofulous in their nature, are s i. rendered fatal by this taint in th syetem M-i' of the consumption which deceminatcs the hui;:--r: family has its origin directly in this scrofulous c :. tamination. and many destructive diseases t: li s liver, kidneys, brjin, and indeed, vf all lbeurw.i:.-, arise from or are aggravated by the saiu c.wjo. One quarter of all our people are scrofulous ; iLeii persons urcinvaded by this luikingcintamiuatijL. and their health is undermined by it. To cleauic it from the System we must renovate the blood tv an alterative medicine. and invigorate it by health r food and exercise. Such a medicine we supply in Ayer's Compound Extract of Sjrsupartllji, the most effectual remedy whieh the medical skill of our times can devise for this every where pre vailing and fatal malady. It is combined from Up most active rcmcdials that have been discovered for the expurgation of this foul disorder fioiii :h blood, and the rescue of the system from, its aes truetive consequences. Hence it should be eir play ed for the cure of not only seroful.i, but also tlyse other affections whieh ar'u-c from it, such as Erup tive and Skin Diseases., St. Anthony's Fire. Kose. or Erysipelas, Pimples. Pustules, Blotches, Elaiu and Boils. Tumors, Tetter and Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm, Rheumatism, Syphilitie acd Mercurial Diseases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia, Debility, and. indeed, nil Complaints arising from Vitiated or Impure Blood. Tbepopnlar belief ia ''impuri ty of the, blood'' is founded in truth, for scrofula i adegeneration of the blood. The practical purpose and virtue of th Sarsuporill.-i is to purify and re generate this vital fluid, without which sound health is imvosfible in contaminated constitution AVER'S- CATH ARTIC.PI LLS. for all the pur; ses of a family phytic, arcs composed that dis ease within the range of their action can rarely withstand or evade them.
