CLEARFIELD, PA., FEB. 22, I860.
. How Some Thisgs -were Dose. A devel
opment was made before the Senate Investi
gating Committee, at "Washington, week be
fore last, which should cause the people here
after to regard with suspicion the efforts peri
odically made in this country to organize what
are called "third parties." Whil3 the avowed
purposes of the leaders in these movements
may be plausible enough, they are in reality
gotten up as a political speculation by inter
ested persons. Before the Investigating Com
mittee, Mr. Magargc, a Democratic paper mer
chant of Philadelphia, testified among other
thing3 that he had received between four end
five thousand dollars from Mr. Wendell, in 1S56,
to be applied to the purpose of organizing a third
party in the city, the object of which was to op
erate on the Presidential and Gubernatorial
elections, and which was considered as es
sential to the success? of the Democrats in
the State. "This general fact," says a W ash
Jngton correspondent, "was well understood
at the time, but it was not known then that
the public money was thus shamefully appro
priated to a partizan object. The funds so
tised were derived from the profits of the pub
lic printing and other jobs, so that it may be
said they were virtually taken Irom the treas
ury and corruptly distributed to affect the e
lections. While honest men in Philadelphia
and the eastern part of the State supposed
they were sustaining a principla in supporting
a third organization, it turns out that they
were only the dupes of vile tricksters, who
Lad been purchased to set that ball in motion
under the inspiration ol managers at this cap
ital, and with money provided by assessments
levied upon office-holders end contractors.
The whole scheme was contrived here, and
while tens of thousands of dollars were subse
quently contributed by New York to aid in
these infamous operations, the inception cT
that fraud and villainy may be traced directly
to the plunderers who had and still have their
headquarters at Washington, and directly un
der the patronage of a Democratic A-dminis-tration.".
We-have five days later intelligence from
Europe by the steamer Bohemian.which reach
ed Portland on the 11th. Her dates are to
the 2d inst. The New York packet-ship En-
dymonian was destroyed by fire in the Mersey
on the 31st ult. There were twenty-rive sec
ond cabin passengers, who with the crew and
the luggage of the passengers, were saved.
Somo of the cargo, which was large and valua
ble, would be saved in a damaged state. The
London Times says that proposals have been
made to the United States relative to the San
Juan affair, which would prove satisfactory to
both countries. The Paris Univers has been
suppressed, the immediate cause of which was
the publication of the Pope's letter giving the
motives for his refusal to accept the advice of
the Emperor to give up the Rornagna. The
paper is to be continued in Brussels. Other
journals have been warned. A popular dem
onstration bad occurred at Chamberry against
the annexation of Savoy to France. The
French protecionists were making strenuous
efforts against the proposed commercial treaty.
It now appears that the ancient rule in Central
Italy cannot be restored, and that the Congress
Is postponed indefinitely. Owing to the con
tinuance of agitation and demonstrations of
discontent, it was considered likely that a
state of siege would be declared in Uungary.
Another engagement between the Spaniards
and Moors is reported, in which the latter were
repulsed with immense losses. Garibaldi had
arrived in Milan with bis bride.
Post Ofhce Bill. This bill having passed
both houses of Congress, and received the Ex
ecutive signature, is now a law. It appropri
ates $4,296,000 to supply the deficiency, and
$4,000,000 for the support of the department
for the year ending June next ; and the further
mm of $2,400,000 was appropriated for the
payment of the salaries of officers, clerks, etc.,
nd for the transportation of the mails.
Col. Forney, Chief Clerk of tho Douso of
Representatives at Washington, has announced
his appointments of subordinate officers. They
consist of 17 Opposition and 12 Anti-Lecomp-ton
Democrats. A few of the old clerks who
served under Mr. Allen have been retained.
Their salaries range from $1,200 to $2,160.
. Homestead Bill. Mr. Grow, Republican
member of Congress from this State, has in
troduced into the House a Homestead bill.
The bill covers all land subject to pre-emption,
and extends tho right to all who are now set
tled, as well as those who may hereafter settle
In the new territories.
The Louisville Journal says: "If we were
called on to guess who will be nominated at
the Charleston Convention, we should, under
existing circumstances, answer with little or no
hesitation, Alex. H. Stevens, of Georgia.".
, A Washington correspondent says that du
ring the session of Congress on Monday a-week,
when the death of Senator Broderick was an
nounced, nearly every Southern member left
the House. , What was wrong ?
Stevens and Hazlett have been sentenced to
be hung publicly on Friday, the 16th day of
-If arch next, between the hours of 10 o'clock
A. m. and 2 o'clock p. m. -

Centre Cocstt. On the 9th inst., a man
named Mash, who was chopping wood for the
Messrs. Valentine's near Pleasant Gap, left
to visit some friends in Stone Valley.
When about fifty rods back of the saw mill,
on the road leading to the meadoVs, he was
seized with a violent pain in the stomach.
Finding that he was going to fall he threw
himself on a pile of brush near by,and loosing
all power of his limbs lay there during the af
ternoon, all night Thursday, and most of Fri
day. Near nightfall on Friday, he recovered
sligbtlv, and by crawling on his hands and
knees "aud rolling his body along over the
stones and recks, reached the saw-mill where
a son of Mr. Eckenworth's was working. As
sistance was immediately called, the unfortu
nate man taken up and kindly cared for. To
reach the mill Mr. Mash bad to cross the creek
twice where the water runs over a foot deep ;
neither of the crossings being bridged he drag
ged his body through the stream. The pres
ervation of Mr. Mash's life is wonderful when
we recollect that he was exposed to the cold
for nearly 46 hours. Thursday night was one
of the wildest and coldest nights of the season;
yet during the whole of that terrible night the
poor man lay exposed to the storms and winds
in a bleak wilderness ; far from any habitation,
conscious that he was freezing, yet unable to
move hand or foot, and waiting only for the
cold hand of death to close his eyes and end
his misery forever. Both of his legs have been
amputated, one above the knee, and the other
at the ankle joint. His life is cot despaired
of, however. . . . On the 9th, one of the hands
at Pennsylvania furnace, was assisting to load
a stick of timber. One end was on the wagon
and the other partly raised, where the stick
slipped and falling on him, broke his arms
and legs and mashed his head so badly that
death ensued immediately. ... A man named
James Iluey, was seriously injured while em
ployed in Mann's Axe Factory a few days ago,
by being caught in a strap attached to some
part of the machinery while it was in motion,
lie was much cut about the head by being
thrown a considerable distance, but is again
able to be about.
Blair Cocxtt. The dwelling house of Mr.
Geo. A. Smith, of Antis township, was entire
ly destroyed by fire on the night of February
4th, with all its contents. The family barely
escaped being burned to death, as they were
compelled to flee from the house with nothing
to cover them but some bed clothes. . . . On
theSlst ult., a little chill 20 months old, the
daughter of Mr.Shearer, in Scotch Valley, fell
backwards into a tub cf scalding water, and
was so severely injured, that she died in five
hours. The child's mother was engaged in
washing, had poured some water into a tub,
and whilst she turned to procure another
bucket of water the sad event took place.
She is said to have been a peculiarly lovely
child. . . . Mrs. Funk, the wife of Mr. John
Funk of Plane 10, stepped out of her door on
Sabbath morning, the 12th inst., slipped, fell
and dislocated her left shoulder and broke the
arm just below the shoulder. . . . Kate Dunn,
the young woman who killed her illegitimate
child in Altoona has left for parts unknown.
Fatette Cocxtt. Jesse Minorca citizen of
Wharton township, was killed very suddenly
cn the 1st inst., at the Boner Mills, belonging
to Hon. A. Stewart, near Fayette Springs.
The water wheel had become frozen tight, and
Mr. Minor went into it to cut it loose, and, it
is thought, while so engaged, the wheel turn
ed and forced him against the center post,
breaking both his arms and neck. His wife,
after waiting an hour or more for him to bring
some flour to the house,went in search of him,
andfouud him standing between the wheel and
post, as she thought resting. She soon, how
ever, discovered bim to bo dead. This was
the second death by accident in Wharton town
ship the same week, the other being that of
Mr. Daniel Batter, who was killed instantly by
a tree falling on him which his own sons were
cutting down.
Tioga Cocxtt. The public houso of Mr.
Root, near Liberty, caught fire and was con
sumed on tne 2d inst. Mr. and Mrs. Root
were both absent at the time, and the children
wero left at home. The upper part of the
house was first destroyed. The children were
unconsious of thi fact until some one rushed
in the burning house and saved three from des
truction. Tho loss is estimated at about 2,
500. Isdiaxa Cocxtt. A wild cat was shot in
the borough of Taylorsville, on tho 27th ult.,
by Mr. James T. Shields. The varmint Mas
chased by dogs into the village, where it tieed
and was shot. Three others are said to har
bor in the vicinity. . . . The scarlet lever and
putrid sore throat, are said to ha very bad in
the southern sections of the county. A num
ber of children have died from the disease.
Sullivan Cocxtt. Mr. Timothy May, was
literally eaten up by a horse, belonging to
Col.James Decgan,in the Borough of Laporte,
one day week before last. The horse was a
vicious one, and j-oung Hay having occasion
to go before him in the stable, was seized, and
before assistance could reach him was almost
totally devoured ! His remains were interred
a short distance from town.
Ltcomixg Cocxtt. An old lady residing
in Moorland township, accidentally fell into a
well last week, while getting some water, and
was so severely injured that she died a short
time after being taken out. . . . Mr. Henry
Moore, formerly of Williamsport, was burned
todeathina house which was destroyed by
fire at Troy, Pa., a couple weeks since.
The Georgia papers do not like the disunion
speech of the Hon. Mr. Gartrell, ona of the
Representatives of that State. The Griffin
.American Union uses the following sharp lan
guage : "We see from the report of the pro
ceedings in Congress that Mr. Gartrell has
made a speech on secession, and coutended
that a State has the right peaceably to secede
from the Union. Now, all we have to say is
this : If Mr. Gartrell wants to secede from the
Union, he is perfectly welcome to pack up and
be off as soon as he pleases, and we hope that
in his peregrinations he may come up with
some form of Government that suits him bet
ter than this. Our country would experience
a happy deliverance if Mr. Gartrell, and all
other disunionists like him, would quit and be
off as soon as possible. Their places might
then be filled with statesmen and patriots, who
would carry on the Government as it should
be done. There are too many fanatical sim
pletons in Congress. They know how to keep
up a row, but have no capacity for business."
Utau. Copies of the Valley Tan, dated
the 11th and 18th of Jan., have been received.
There is no particular news, and, singular to
say, not a murder recorded. A robbery has
been committed at Camp Floyd, tho office of
Captain P. T. Turnley, Assistant Quartermas
ter at that post, having been entered and $1,
000 in gold abstracted. A messenger, former
ly employed in the office, was suspected, and
has been arrested. A general order from the
commanding officer of the troops has been is
sued, in which the Mormon gold coin, which
has been current at five dollars is recommend
ed as being really worth only $4 60, and advi
sing the soldiers only to receive it at that rate.
It us understood that a large quantity of this
"Mormon coin" is thrown into circulation.
The Gentile merchants are gradually selling
out, and there ars now but five or six left in
the Holy City. .
The Sydney Herald gives an account of the
rescue of two European girls from Frazer Is
land, believed to be the- only survivers out of
all the passengers wrecked in the Sea Bella.
They wero taken from the natives on the Is
land on the 22d of October; were found sixty
miles inland. The Herald says; The girls
appear to be about the respective agt-s of fif
teen and sixteen years ; their appearance is
heart-rending; their bodies, emaciated from
long suffering and exposure to the weather,
are covered with a coating of hair; the skin,
stained by their tormentors to assimilate with
their own, had become spotted and wrinkled,
as if from old age ; the nose had been flattened
by force, the limbs distorted, and the vacant
stare of Idiotcy has left these poor creatures
in appearance human, and although enabled
gradually to recognize such things as they
must have been in the habit of seeing hourly
before they fell into the hands of the natives,
their acquaintance with their mother tongue
is, as yet, apparently quite gone." Other Eu
ropeans are believed to be prisoners of the
blacks on Frazer Island.
A Hard Choice It is tolerably evident that
the appeal to be made by the Democratic par
ty to the country, during the Presidential
campaign, is to be made up exclusively of the
threat that the south will dissolve the Union
if the election is carried by the Republicans.
All the speeches made by the Democratic mem
bers in Congress come to this point, and it is
palpable that this Congressional oratory is to
give the cue to the press and to the stump. It
is an old tune, heretofore executed in detach
ed parts and by single performers, or by per
formers in squads, but now struck up by the
whole band, with kettledrums and cymbals.
It is at this moment in full blast, aud we must
m3ke cp our minds not to hear the last of it
until the appointed day in November, a drea
ry nine months hence, when the people of the
United States will be frightened into choosing
a Chief Magistrate to be designated by the
Charleston Convention, or will choose one to
suit themselves.
Fight With a Mad Dog. A few nights ago
Mr. Owen Hamilton, of Chester county, was a
roused by his dog going mad in the room oc
cupied by himself and family. Lighting a
candle as quick as possible, lie saw the dog
coming towards him as if to make battle. Not
knowing in the moment of excitement what
to do, he jumped upon the bed ; but seeing
the danger cf his wile and children, and hav
ing no weapon at hand to kill him with, he
made an eubrt and succeeded in catching him
back of the neck. After a desperate struggle,
we might say for life and death, he overpow
ered the dog. Then came the trouble to des
patch hini being almost overcome in the
struggle. The gun was brought, but it was
unloaded; the axe, but both hands were re
quired to hold the dog. Finally a rope was
procured, and the wife tied him. He was then
killed. Mr. Hamilton fortunately received no
injur' ; but one hand was completely paralyz
ed for a time from the effocts of the struggle.
Commissioners Inmcted. The Brookville
JeJTcr.ioiiian says that the Grand Jury on Mon
day the 13th, presented a true bill ot indict
ment against John Boucher, John Thompson
and C. R. B. Morris, commissioners of Jeffer
son county, for neglect to fill the abutments cf
the new bridge in Brookville. Judge McCal
mont, in his charge to the Grand Jury, deci
ded that tho bridge was not finished until the
embankments at the ends were built up sd that
persons could drive across. The delay of the
commissioners will now cost some one or two
hundred dollars more than if the business had
been attended to at a time when the W3ter
was lo.v.

LATEST NEWS FROM HARPER'S
I'ERRY. Bro wn, the leader of the ahsut
rection, found guilty of Murder and Treason irt
the Fitst degree. Ihe above named insurreotion'
caused a great deal of gas to be let off by leading
politicians and the political press of this great
country, and in fact, the majority of the people of
all parties, were more or less excited on reading
the first account of the insurrection some of the
papers trying to make political capital out of the
affair and others making light of the matter. Bat
if it had been an Italian strike for Freedom a
gainst their lawful sovereign, led on by Matzinnl
or Garibaldi, the Press of this country, with but
one exception, would call meetings and pass reso
lutions and solicit subscriptions to aid thera in
their so called patriotic work ; but amidst all this
inconsistency there is one man that is not the least
interested In the fate of Brown or his companions,
and that one is Frank Short of the Short Shoe
Shop on Second street, where he will be found at
all times ready and willing to wait upon person!
calling on him for anything in the Boot, Shoe or
G aiter line. Thankful for past favors be only asks
aeontinuanee of the same, and will sell as cheap
for cash or hides as any other man in the county.
