NEARLY A WIIOLK FAMILT CARRIED OFF BY
ID'fTHERiA. Elisha Covert, a resident of (Ji
rard township, has lost within a month no less
than six children by Diptheria. He was liv
ing in a very sniali house, in straightened cir
cumstances, and when his family took sick the
neighbors were afraid to stay there on account
-of the virulence of the disease. Destitution
and lack of attention no doubt had much to do
with tho frightful mortality that ensued.

Washington's Birth Oat1 .The 22d was
celebrated in this place ojr. the Washington
Cadets, who, preceded by their martial and
brass bands," paraded through the streets in
the afternoon, and in the evening had ft sup
per at the Clearfleld House. During the course
of the evening a number of fights took place,
which to say-the least of them, were disgrace
ful, and those who were engaged Ju them
should have been put to jail. We do not pre
tend to sy upon whom the blame should be
placed, but we hope we may never hear of a
recurrence of such disreputable conduct.
SUICIDE OF A MURDERER. I'
John Cathcart, incarcerated in the county
Jail in this Borough, under sentence of death
for the murder of his wife last summer, and
who was tqiave bees executed on the 12th of
April next, -committed suicide on Ust Sabbath
night, by hanging himself in his cell with a
pocket handkerchief. It seems he had placed
the handkerchief around one of the iron bars
which run across the pluik lining of the cell
and then tied it around his neck. In order to
prevent himself using his hands, he had tied
them together and passed them over one of
his legs to that he stood astraddle of them. In
order to strangle himself he had to draw up
his feet to keep them cfT the floor, or rather,
oerhaps, he had to lean forward in a stooping
posture to accomplish nis tearful purpose.
The .following is a copy of the verdict of the

risrht side, but he was saved bv the blade of
the knife striking against a memorandum-book
iu his breast-pocket. Almost simultaneously
he was struck at on the left side, and then drew
his pistol aud shot down the second assailant.
The third then knocked him down with a blud
geon or other weapon, and the party escaped.
Mr. Van Wyck was stunned with the blow, but
contrived to get to the National Hotel. His
hand is badly cut, and he has been ill all day,

On the 21st inst., Mr P.; .v of Massnchu setts,
from the Committee of the House of Represen

Message of Januwry 8, reported concerning the

are now in commission, in various parts of the
world, 48 vessels; that 28 are unfit for service,
and not to be repaired under several weeks, or
even months' lime ; that the entire naval force
available for the defense of the Atlantic coast
at the time this Committee was appointed con
sisted of the steamer Brooklyn, of 25 guns,
and the store-ship Relief, of two guua ; the for
mer being unable, by reason of her draft, to
enter Charlestou liamor wun saieiy, ana me
lattet being under orders for the African coast.
Under these circumstances, the Committee
refer with much severity to the extraordinary
disposition of our naval force, by which it was
kept out of the way in a manner which would
be injudicious at any time, but which nowclear
iv showed hopeless imbecility or a deliberate
conspiracy to give the country into the hands
of traitors. The report next takes up the mat
ter of resignationsiby traitorous naval officers,
sets forth io plain terms the name and offense
of eaph of these, and places In a clear light tho
extraordinary conduct qf the Secretary of the
Navy in accepting the resignations, conclu
ding by recommending the passage of a resolu
tion of censure upon that Cabinet ofheer.

CONTEMPLATED ASSASSINATION OF
j ' - 31 U. LINCOLN... . ". I ; 1.
THE DISCOVERY OF THE PLOT.
Special Correspondence of the New York Times.
Harrisbcro, Feb. 238 A. M.
Abraham Liacoln, the President elect of the
United States, is safe in the capital of the na
tion". By the admirable arrangement of Gen.
Scott, the country has been spared tho lasting
disgrace which would have been fastened up
on it indelibly had Mr. Lincoln been murdered
on his journey thither, as he would have been
had he followed the programme as announced
in the papers, and gone by the Northern Cen
tral Railroad to Baltimore.
On Friday night, alter he had retired, Mr.
Lincoln was aroused and inlormed that a stran
ger desired to see him on a matter of life or
death. He declined to admit him unless he
gave his name, which he at once did. : Such
prestige did the name carry that while Mr. Lin
coln was yet disrobed he granted an interview
to the caller. A conversation elicited the fact
that an organized body of men had determined
that Mr. Lincoln should not be inaugurated,
and that he should never leave the city of Bal
timore alive, if, Indeed, he ever entered it.
The list of the names of the conspirators
.presented a most astonishing array of persons
high in Southern confidence, and some whose
fame is not in this country alone. Statesmen
laid the plan, bankers endorsed it, and adven
turers were to carry it into effect. As they
understood Mr. Lincoln was to leave Harris
burg at nine o'clock this morning by special
traiurthe idea was, if possible, to throw the
cars from the road at some point where they
could rush down a steep embankment and de
stroy iu a moment the lives of all on board.
In case of the failure of this project, their plan
was to surround the carriage on tho way from
depot to depot in Baltimore, and assassinate
him with daggers or pistol shot. - , -
So authentic was the source from which the
information was obtained, that Mr. Lincoln,
alter counseling his friends, was compelled to
make arrangements which would enable him
to subvert the plans of his enemies.
Mr. Lincoln did not want to yield, and Col.
Sumner actually ciied with indignation ; but
Mrs. Lincoln, seconded by Mr. Judd and Mr.
Lincoln's original informant, insisted upon it,
and at nine o'clock Mr. Lincoln left on a spe
cial train. He wore a Scotch plaid cap and a
very long military cloak, so that ho was entire
ly unrecognisable. Accompanied by Super
intendent Lewis and one friend, he started,
while all the town, with the exception of Mrs.
Lincoln, Col. Sumner, Mr. Judd and two re
porters who where sworn fo sccresy, supposed
him to be asleep.
The telegraph wires were put beyond reach
of any one who might desire to use them.
At one o'clock the fact was whispered from
one to another, and it soon became the theme
of most excited conversation. Many thought
it a very injudicious move, while others re
garded it as a stroke of great merit.
lA
Messrs. Seward and Washburne, to whom
the information had been imparted confiden
tially, met Mr. Lincoln at the cars, and attend
ed him to Willard's hotel. Not a little sensa
tion prevailed throughout the city as soon as
it became known that he had arrived in the
oarly train, and for a time the report was dis
credited. About 10 o'clock, Mr. Lincoln, ac
companied by Mr. Seward, went to the White
House and quite surprised Mr. Buchanan, who
had not heard of his arrival. The Cabinet
were in session, and he was introduced to
them. Senator Bigler ot Pa., and Represen
tative John Cochrane of NY Y., who happened
to be at tho White House, were also inti oduced
to the President elect. He afterwards called
on Gen. Scott, who was absent ; however, in
the afternoon tho old hero visited him, and
was highly pleased. In the evening he was
called upon by Mr. Buchauan and Cabinet, the
Peace Congress, and the elite, and fashion of
the National metropolis. Old Abo has made
a good impression upon all.
The closing years of life are often rendered
wretched by uilmeuts which are trifling in them
selves and easily curod if taken in timo. Affec
tion of tho liver, stomach, and other organs con
cerned in digestion, are the most frequent. They
naturally mane the suffejer nervous, irritable and
eorrsplHininjr. end relatives and friends are forced
to bear tho brunt of .thejr ill-humor. The u.e of
Ilostettcr s I elebrated stomach Aimers will prove
an efficient remedy of this evil. It will not only
strengthen the whole physical organization, but
entirely cure tue mopt obstinate cases ot Indiges
tion, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, and Liver complaint.
The first physicians in the country are loud in
their praise of this preparation. Another recom
mendation of the Ditters ia that it is so palatable
to the taste that it may be used even as a bever
