The New York Tribuneof the22d has the following "The Atlantic and Great Western llailway have issued their bonds tor a loanot $30,000,000. The work of issuing theiu has been complet ed by John R. I'enn, Ei., of the eminent firm of Culver, Penn & Co. ,' bankers, , the trustee signine his name as an indorsement. As there are 00.000 bonds of $500 each, we may imaarioe Mr. l'enn had a vast work. The trust is the largest ever held by any one man, and the bonds the largest lot ever is sued by ony one corporation in America. Mr, Penn's name wasicned 60,000 times. making 540,000 letters. Estimating 400 signatures an hour as the average rate, it would . take 4 o0 hours to-sign the whole number. In some of the cowntry schools it is considered a severe punishment to make a ad write his name on his slate a hundred timesTlfMr.Penns trust is the largest held by any gentleman in America accord ing to the-schoolmasterVlaw of retribution he has suffered untold punishment." . Emigration The emigration from Eu rope to this country bids fair to be larger this year, than ever before. . Already the arrivals at New York are largely in excess of the arrivals at this date last year, and the tide has but just begun to set in. A- letter from Frankfort-on-the-Main says the emi gration from Europe to this country in 1866, will reach at least 300,000 persons. The disturbed state of Ireland, too, will necessa rily drive crowds hither from that unquifk region, so that we may naturally look tor the largest accession to our- population ever received in one year from Europe. Hon. J. K. Moorehead. Many prom inent men of Pittsburg have united in afor mal request to this gentleman to consent to be a candidate for re-election' to Congress from the twenty-second district. They set forth that his experience, peculiar know ledge, and identification with the leading business ierests of Allegheny county make it important that he should continue at his present post Indeed, the leading interests of the State at large make it necessary that our friends in the twenty-second Congres sional district should continue to secure the service of their faithful Representative. Commercial Recklessness. The im ports at New York last week were $3,500, 000, gold value, eqrtal to over ten million's in currency! And this, too. at a time when every warehouse in New York is groaning under the weight of unsold foreign goods, when the market is dull and declining, and no one buys except to supply present wants. Some people will get their fingers burned. A Fish in an Oil Well. The Pithole Record says . that on Saturday as parties were sand-pumping a well on lease 06 Ilolmden farm, a live fish was brought to the surface, from the depth of six hundred and sixteen, feet. It had no eyes,, was of a brown ' color and some ' four inches long. Though put in water, it . lived but a few hours. . 1 ' - 4l After Storms comes a Calm. A gen tleman talking to another on the subject of marriage, made the following observation : 1 first saw my : wife in a storm : court ed her in a storm ; was betrothed to her in a storm ; married her in a storm ; lived with her in a storm all her life ; but, thank hea ven, I buried her in pleasant weather." .

Derseveringlv. and in perfect har mony, does each perform its work. . The lit tle stream does not complain because it can not bear proud ships' on its bosom, like the grand old ocean, but sparkles merrily in the sunshine, ' content with its own peculiar charm, and thankful for, its cift of life. The trees do not walk around saying to. each other, see how tall 1 am, but they stand still in God's sunshine,' and quietly grow upward, and silently their roots spread deep into, the ground, and their branches wave grateful protection and tender shade to all that seek shelter beneath them. Shall we not take this, 'the first lesson of opening spring, home to ourselves " Are there no flowers in our own souls which only wait the reviving influences of light and truth, to spring into active existence f Are there no icy barriers of custom and preju dice to break down ; .no iron bonds of habit sustained by ignorance to burst assunder, and nermit the mind and heart to expand into free and beautiful life?

Any attempt at faction fights, any effort to stir up old quarrels here, will ihj put down by the strong hand of the Government. Irishmen of all classes should know that once they land on these shores they must demean themselves as peaceable and law- abiding citizens. In all of which every intelligent citizen, no matter of what coun try, will heartily concur. A man in- Detroit has lately come into possession of property which has been in suit for more than three hundred years In 1560 one of his ancestors in Germany loan ed money to a. certain Count who died with out paying it The estate of the Count was put uuder sequestration, and has till now been under the control of the Prussian Gov ernment A settlement having been reach ed at last the heirs of the loaner have rer ceived more than a million of dollars, the principal and interest of their ancestor's claim. i The Springfield, 111. , Journal is pained to notice that reports are coming up from va rious parts of the State to the effect that the wheat crop has sustained no inconsider able damage from the freezings and thaw ings of the past season. In f ome districts the young wheat is reported as almost en tirely frozen out, and that the coming crop will be exceedingly light. The Illinois peach crop is likely to be a failure. Potter County must be a second paradise, as there is not a tavern or liquor drinking house in the county. - Their February term of court was a failure so far as trials were concerned, and the jury were of no service at all The district Attorney expressed his disgust at the criminal record only one in dictment, no prosecutor and no witness. The Pittsburg Gazette- truthfully remarks that the Democratic platform was written with two ends in view to console the rebels and spite the blacks. Iioyal white 'folks have little attention accorded to them in it National, is it not? John C. Breckinridge has gone into the pork business in Canada.

' '' There is no one thing which helps to es tablish a man's character and standing in so ciety more than a regular attendance at church, and a proper regard for the first day of the week. . Every head of a family should go to church as an example. Loung ing on the streets and in bar-rooms is abom inable, and deserves censure because it lays the foundation for habits which ruin both body and soul. Many a young man can date the commencement of his dissipation which made him a burden, to himself and his friends, - and ' an object of pity in the sight of' his enemies, to his Sunday de bauchery.' Idleness is the mother of drunk enness the Sabbath is generally an idle day, therefore if it were not properly kept, it were better struck out of existence. Go to Church 1 If you are a yonng man just en tered upon business, it will establish your credit ! ' What capitalist would not sooner entrust a new beginner who, instead of dis sipating bis time, his character; and his money, attended to his business on week days, and on Sabbath appeared in the house of God. .'Go to - church with a contrite heart, and,' bending a knee at tho throne of your maker, pour put a sincere thank-offering for the mercies of the pas week. A Fact. The difference between the Re publican and Democratic parties in Penn sylvania is no where tetter displayed than in the treatment accorded to the feoldier by the State Conventions of the two. Republi can Convention nominates a gallant soldier who served throughout the war ; the Demo cratic Convention nominates a Copperhead, without alloy, who voted as a member of the State Senate against every measure intended to benefit the soldier. The republican plat form, too, demands an equalization of boun ties, the meteingiout of amle justice to the brave defenders of the nation, and a lib eral provision tor the education and com fort of the orphans of there who fell in defence of their country ' while the Demo cratic platform - indulges only in buncombe talk, carefully avoiding all mention of specific measures in behalf of our returned braves. Just So. The treatment of European emigrants by task-masters of the South is not a whit better than that accorded to the freedmen, and that is cruel enough.. Nearly all the Germans and SwLss who went. South last year to work for the old slaveholders have returned, or are returning, disgusted with' their experiment : A party of Ger mans informed the Memphis Ivtt that they were nearly starved during their stay on the plantations, and on expressing dissatisfac tion were discharged without receiving any pay, lhis is the common complaiot of all, and proves that the planters cannot be hon est even with men of their own color. i Cheap Bravery Mr. Clymer, in his speech accepting the democratic nomination, expressed his willingness to sacrifice his life, "if need be," in "defending the Union." He is very liberal with the offer of his life, after the war. While the war was in pro gress he was not as liberal even as Artemus W ard, who was ready to sacrifice the last re lation he had upon the alter of his country, but did what he could to obstruct its prose cution by keeping every man he could out 01 the array, tiis bravery now, when the danger is over, is of a very cheap kind. What Mr. Botts Says. In a letter from John Minor Botts, . in the Richmond Revvhlic the following passage occurs: '"Thank God,. the privilege is still left us (since the Confederacy was smashed un) to steer between both extremes ; and believ ing as I do in the honesty of purpose and patriotism 01 ine jrresiaeni, a 1 11 111 it tue icw crumbs of comfort picked up trom the sha-. king of the cloth from the President's table, which the re-constructed have grasped as drowning men cling to straws, will yet turn to ashes on their lips. , , ( Get off the Platform. The Demo cratic platform was written by Benton Kerr, and this fact was alluded to by Mr. Cessna in his speech at the Republican Convention in a way that seems to have stirred up Ben ton's wrath. He said that according to railroad rules "it is always dangerous to ride on the platform of the. Kerr;" and that it was nrobablv its slipperiness that compelled them to put a climber (Clymer) on it Gen. Meade. In giving the current ru mors that Gen. Meade was offered A leave of absence for three years if he would accept the Democratic nomination for Governor. it is due to that gentleman to add what has been withheld of the original story, to wit : That when the offer' was made the General interposed two objections first, that his ac ceptance would be illegal, and second, tluit he did not train with that crowd. A Knock ; down : Arooibnt. A Tem perance lecturer, -descanting on- the essen tial and purifying effects of cold water, re marked as a knock down argument: "When the world had become so ; corrupt that the Lord could do nothing with it, he was oblig ed to give lit a thoronth sousing in ; cold water." .
