The Weather. Since our last' issue the
weather has been playing some "fantastic
tricks." ()n the 24th'the waters rose suffi
ciently high to break up the ice, and free
the streams from the frigid embrace of Old
Boreas. For some days thereafter the air
continued quite mild, and molted nearly all
the snow that had fallen. But on Tuesday,
the 31st, the atmosphere once more become
cold, and in the evening some snow fell, most
of which afterwards also disappeared under
" )ld Sol's genial i ays. The beginning of
this week, however, the air was again frigid,
but how long the present state of the weath
er will .prevail, deponent saith.not.
Man Killed. On Monday, December
IMd, an Irishman named M'Cormkk, a la
borer on the railroad, met with a fatal acci
dent at Leonard's Point. A tree Ltd been
liiore than half cut off, a few days previous,
and was permitted td remain standing in that
eoillhjk in'tiT the time above indicated,
when, just as M'Coruiick was passing along,
the wind blew it down, and it fell upon him
3engtrwise, and instantly killed him. The
unfortunate man saw tbe tree falling and
tried to get out of the way, but failed to get
beyond its reach. This should be a warn
ing to others not to leave trees stand in an
unsafe condition, or they might, perhaps.be
Qield responsible for any serious injuries re
sulting from such carelessness.
Attention, Lumbermen. In another
'column will be found the advertisement of
Messrs. Merrell fc Bigler, agents for Emer
son's Patent Perforated Saws. These saws
save all the expense of gumming, three
fourths the cost of files, and are le.s liable
to be broken the perforations rendering
the first unnecessary, and hence also the
saving in files, and pi event the cracking
of the saws. This improvement must meet
with universal favor, as upon examination
no practical person can find any objection.
But, as it is impossible to give an intelligi
ble description of these saws, without dia
grams, we trust persons interested will call
upon Messrs. Merrill & Biglerwho are pre
pared to give all the information to a correct
understanding of the improvement.
An Evil that Ouuut to be Correct
ed. The West Branch Bulletin has taken
up the cudgel against the prevailing method
of assessing property at a price ridiculously
below its real value. It is truly a most wide
spread and deplorable evil, injurious alike to
the public treasury and individual honesty,
that property worth thousands should be
represented on our tax-books as worth but
a few hundreds. The taxes are assessed for
the public benefit, and it is designed each
individual shall be taxed according to his
ability and according to his interest in the
objects for which the taxes are expended.
Rut under the present sj'steni of laying as
sessments, there is a vast disproportion be
tween the taxes paid by the poor and those
paid by the rich. .The wealthy man, who
owns his mansion that cost him $20,000 pays
a tax on $5,000 ; while the man of toil, up
on his humble homestead, worth perhaps
00 pays a tax upon $500. Besides this,
the moral influence exerted upon society is
tad. If a man tell the assessor that his
Koperty is worth but $500 when it ia worth
I2.0W he is guilty of lying ; and it rogues
can evade the payment of the just claims of
Government against them, by a wrong valu
tion of their property, honest men are
fcmpted to resort to the same dishonest
fceans in self-defense. This evil results from
neglect of duty on the part of assessors, and
never be arrested until poor men, as well
18 those interested in the preservation of
good morals, determine to elect no man to
the office of assessor who.is not both honest
nough and fearless enough to give all prop
erty ita true valuation.

Our Borough Election. Th election
on Friday, December 27th, resulted in the
choice of the whole Democratic Borough
ticket, by a strict party vote. In fact, the
only opposition candidates were, a Republi
can, who was chosen Inspector of Elections,
and an Independent Democrat, who was de
feated for Constable. By the election of
M Clellan, the Democratic nominee, as Con
stable, over James A. Moore, Independent
Democrat, the Democracy of, Clearfield Bor
ough have clearly demonstrated that they
indorse the recent Mullen jewelry transac
tion, in which their candidate indulged a
few days previous to his nomination and
election. Surely, the once so-called great
Democratic party haa adly degenerated in
Clearfield, when it will elect a man who i3
guilty of such an offence, as that alluded to,
over a staunch and efficient life-long Demo
crat, as was his father before him. Wonder
if our neighbor Goodlander will furnish his
readers with a chapter on "official corrup
tion" or the "Greeley reformation,'' soon,
as the above case presents a good opportu
nity? Come, George, be consistent I and
"ventilate" the subject !
The Shinplaster Democrac7.
Years ago, says the Press, the Democracy
claimed to be distinctively the hard-money
party of - the country. That was in the
days of Jackson. But in these latter days
the Democracy have repudiated that plank,
along with the army, the flag, and other na
tional traditions. The Unionism of Jack
son has been flouted for the secessionism of
Calhoun ; and last disgrace of all the bul
lion creed of Old Hickory has been sacrificed
to the demagogism of Pendleton. The old
party which once advocated a nationaljcredit
based on gold, now proposes to build a sys
tem of national finances on an indefinite, ir
responsible, and irredeemable emission of
paper. Were anything needed to prove the
bastardy of modern Democracy, it would be
this. The Democratic party of Yallandi
ham, andClymer, and Wood, and Seymour,
is a cheap and worthless imitation of the
Democracy of Jefferson, and Jackson, and
Douglas. Away with the impudent fraud !
Modern Democracy has already distin
guished itself by one shinplaster experi
ment in the" financial system of the Confed
eracy, and, not satisfied with its collapse
there, desire to try it again, and on a larger
scale.
To what depths has thi3 bogus concern
fallen when its only substitute for states
manship is in the feeble imitation of the ex
ploded shifts of expiring treason? Without
brains, heart, or conscience, the Democrat
ic party ef our day is a pitiable spectacle,
which history only occasionally offers as an
example and warning.
Didn't Vote. At the late State election
our distinguished and learned candidate for
the honors of the Supreme bench, Hon. II.
VT. Williams, declined to cast a. vote for
himself. Not even the importunity of over-
zealous and too nthusiastie friends could j
induce him for -even one laomeHt to think I
of compromising his self-respect or sense of j
propriety. In our time, when, ia the rough !
scramble for office, delicacy and honesty are
alike over-ridden and trampled on, it is j
pleasing to record an instance that recalls
the political integrity and dignity of the
days-of Washington, and Jefferson, and
Madison.
The Democratic Battle Cur. "Econ
omy and Retrenchment," says the Spring-
field Repuhlican, will be the battle-cry of
the Democracy in next summer's Presiden
tial campaign. The division of the House
J udiciary Committee on the question of pay
ing three full mileages to the present Con
gress shows the sincerity of the pretence.
The two Democrats on the committee were
in favor of the payment, and all but one of
the seven Republicans against it.
The Maine Farmer recommends country
ladies to take a medium sized pumpkin
seed, carefully cut out the meat on the un

and they will have a bonnet in tbe pink of
fashion The broad end of the bonriet
should be worn in front to keep off the s an

The rapidity of the growth of the State of f

William Bowsher and his two sisters, of
Upper Sandusky, Ohio, who died very sud
denly, were poisoned. Their bodies hs.ve
been examined, and no doubt whatever ex
ists as to the fact Who the poisoner was
is a horrible mystery. Both of the young
ladies were pretty and interesting, and were
shortly to be married.
John Brotherton died recently in Spring

Distress in the South. The distress
that has so long prevailed in the Southern
States is having its effects on all classes of
society, black as well as white. The hard
ships that have fallen to the lot of the South
since the war, have been almost as disas
trous to society as was the war itself. We
learn from recent Southern exchanges that
a condition, bordering an anarchy, is now
prevalent in many regions or the country.
and that matters are growing rapidly worse
instead or Defter. Uut great as are the suf
ferings of the white people, the negroes
seem to nave a still harder road to travel.
Their wants are many and the lawful means
or satisfying them are few. Hence we
have reports that they are laying violent
hands on property, committing various oth
er crimes, and neglecting those duties
which alone can enable them to hold their
position in the country where they were
reared. To add to the difficulty, many of
the negroes are armed, and when provoked
by those who affect to despise them, it is
not to be wondered at that scenes of blood
shed sometimes ensue. It is much to be re
gretted that instead of being drawn more
closely together, in common interests, the
white and black populations cf the South
are settling into mutual hostility and dis
like. The negroes,' however, are less to
blame for their present unfortunate position
than those to whom they have trusted them
selves for advice and guidance.
Texas School System. The report of
the Controller of the State of Texas, an of
ficial copy of which we find in a very copi
ous Texas Almanac, published by the Gal
veston Daily News, reveals some curious
financiering. In the school fund account
we find the State debited with a sum of $2,-
2y,419.91 over two and a quarter million
of dollars. This is a handsome endow
ment. The credit side of the account,
however, is curious. Balance on hand,
$2,210,4GG.52; State liabilities cancelled,
20,421.40; sale of specie balanced in the
other column, $1,438.15 ; taxes transferred
to State revenue, under act of Legislature,
Nov. 6, 186fi, $25,010.07, and finally the
only direct disbursement in the cause of ed
ucation, salary of superintendent of public
instruction, $1,477.71. This is a couimon
school system with a vengeance. Not a
school-house built; not a book, slate, or
sheet of paper bought; not a district teacher
paid, as faras the report shows. What has
this superintendent done for his fourteen
hundred dollars,this head teacher apparent
ly without a subordinate or a scholar ? We
have heard of the Texas costume a pair of
spurs and a shirt collar but in chaste and
severe simplicity we believe the Texas school
system outdoes it.
That's So 1 The" Richmond Xno Xa
tion truly remarks . "The brave soldiers in
both armies who foujrht durinsr the four
jears of the late civil war are not the men
who are now crying for more war ! more
blood! and greater impoverishment. No,
they are satisfied with war, suffering, priva
tions, starvation, blood and death. The
men who never studied gunpowder in bat
tlcw who never carried the knapsack and
musket on their shoulders, but who were
army followers, army speculators and sol
di r-swindlcrs, and men of. all classes who
kept out of danger, are the men who now
cry for war, blood and death. Men who
speculated offthe misfortunes of others dur
ing the war, and lost nothing and sacrificed
nothing, may want another war to make
more money out of the necessities of others;
but if another war ever should be forced on
the country (which may kind Heaven for
bid, ) we hope this class of men will be forc
ed to fight to their heart's content, whether
they wish or not."
Steamboat Casualties. A list of the
casualties to steamboats on the western and
southwestern rivers during the past year
shows 128 accidents of all kinds, 82 of
which resulted in the total destruction of
the boats, involving a loss of $545,000, on
which there was insurance to the amount of
$512,000. The other casualties resulted in
only a partial destruction of the boats.
Seventy-seven lives are known to have been
lost by these accidents, and it is believed
that about 20 more might be added to the
JLst.
Ten thousand one dollar bills laid in a
line, end to end, will reach one mile.

DIED:
In Girard township, on the 19th of Dec,
1S67, at the residence of her father, Wm.
Murray, Miss Catharine Jane Murray,
aged 23 years, 9 months and 6 days.
The deceased was of an amiable disposi
tion and beloved by all who knew her. She
was blessed with a spirit of Christian pa
tience and resignation rarely equaled, and
only possessed by those who put their trust
in Him who has promised to neither leave
nor forsake us, so that she was enabled to
endure the lingeriug illness of some twenty
months without a murmur or complaint.
But she has gone to her reward, leaving a
Father with a bleeding heart, a Grandmoth
er pressed down with grief, and numerous
relatives and friends to mourn, but not with
out hope, for she had respect to the recom
pense of reward esteeming the riches of
Christ greater than all the treasures of this
world testifying, as she did, that God was
her portion and support, as she passed thro
the valley of the shadow of death. After
6aying, "Dear Jesus, take me home," she
calmly fell asleep. They that sleep in J esus
will God bring with him. A-M.

"Washington City Gossip.
Quorums of both Houses are on hand, and
business will be resumed at once. The cot
ton tax, a Kentucky contested election case.
the re-instatementof Mr. Stanton and other
matters will be speedily brought up, but the
great financial question will overshadow all
other topics. Gentlemen who are well posted
are of the opinion that the result of the fi
nancial .discussions will be a declaration by
Congress that the paper currency shall nei
ther be contracted nor expanded ; that noth
ing will be enacted defining the redemption
of bonds, either in gold or in greenbacks ;
that a new long loan, subject to taxation,
will be established, and that the accumula
tion of gold in the Treasury will be stopped.'
It seems to be the general belief that the
President will send a message to Congress,
probably within ten days, on the deplorable
conditon of the Southern people.
I he report in the case of Secretary Stan
ton has been completed, and Senator How
ard, who has charge of the matter on the
part of the Senate, will submit it to the
Military Committee at ouce. Should the
committee agree to the report, it will be
then submitted ' to the Senate at its
executive session, as the subject can only
come up as a confidential matter in such
session, and not in open Senate. The report
will fully exonerate Mr. Stanton from the
charges made against him by the President.
Secretary Stanton has not, however, allow-
d the matter to rest here, but in a report
will undertake to give the history of his deal
ings with the President, which will not be
complimentary to the executive. The friends
of Mr. Stanton, who are informed in regard
to statements contained in Senator Howard's
report, hold that the Secretary has made
out a strong argument, not only in his own
behalf, but against the President." They a
vcr that there is no doubt,but when this re
port is read to the fenate that there will not
be a single vote from Republicans against
Stanton's reinstatement. Many of the Re
pulican Senators are urging privately upon
Mr. Stanton not to immediately teuder his
resignation -to the President when he has
been reinstated, but to return to the War
Department and relieve Gen. Grant. It is
stated by parties -who claim to be well in
formed in regard to Gen. Giant's ideas on
the subject, that the latter will, in case of
the Senate sustaining Stanton, immediately
retire from the War Office, assuming that
the law forbids him pursuing any other
course. This is expected to be done, even
in case the President should order him to
remain. Secretary Stanton, it seems, has no
intention to enter upon the duties perma
nently , should he be reinstated where he
would be in direct conflict with tbe Presi-
dent,but will merely remain in the War Of
fice for a few days, to show that this action
so far is sustained.
It is stated here on good authority that
the President intends soon to issue a procla
mation to the white people in the Southern
States advising them to send delegates to
the approaching National Convention. A
number of prominent Democratic politicians
have been urging this matter for some time
past. They are the same persons who sup
ported and helped him in the famous Han
cock message. It has not been decided in
what form to make the contemplated proc
lamation. It is, likely that the President
will run it in with some of his communica
tions to. Congress. This matter is creating
quite a stir among Democratic politicians.
Many of them are opposed to it, and say it
is a dodge of Johnson to aid the movement
to make Hancock his successor. Those
who are pushing this scheme say that if the
Southern States send delesates to the Dem
ocratic Convention they will be compelled
to admit them or abandon the platform that
these States are now in the Union. It is
the chief topic of talk among the Demo
cratic politicians, who seem to think that
the South will have the balance of power in
the Convention and that their votes are
worthy being looked after.
It is stated on the authority of a mem
ber of Congress that in the event of the
Senate acting" in favor of Stanton's return
to the War Department, the President will
throw the case into the Supreme Court
with a view of testing the constitutionality
of the tenure of offiice act.
It is generally agreed by those who have
conversed on the subject, that there must
be no more delay by Congress on the finan
cial question, but that some policy coupled
with a revision of the tax bill, must be set
tled at the earliest practicable moment.
They represent their constituents as de
manding this kind of legislation to the ex
clusion of all other.
Gen. O. O. Howard, Commissioner of the
Freedmen's Bureau, has transmitted Grant
reports from Generals Ord, Gillem, Canby,
Hancock, Scott and other officers, bearing
upon the destitution, present and prospec
tive, in the Southern States. The sudden
fall in the price of cotton, together with the
failure of the crops, has produced great de
pression, anxiety, and apprehension, and it
is generally believed that there will be great
suffering for want of food in Louisiana, Mis
sissippi,and South Carolina before the close
of the winter, and that relief in some shape
must be afforded to prevent the anarchy that
many apprehend. Gen. Howard recommends
that the attention of the President and Con
gress be called to the report, with a view to
some thorough and practical mode of relief.
It is suggested that if a fund cdfuld be es
tablishcd.from which employers might draw
on paying a reasonable interest, it might af
ford temporary if not permanent relief. Gen
Canby favors relief through such a fund, or
through the issue of provisions, taking a
hen upon the crors for security. It is also
j recommended by some prominent persons
i that a' loan of $.y,0 000,000 in currency, to be
secured by bond's and mortgages and other
good security, for the benefit of all States
in extreme need, be made. Generals Ord
and Hancock recommend the repairing, of
tae levees of the Mississippi by tbe Gov
ernment. Gen. Howard says that certain
politicians have taken advantage" of the suf
fering, in the regions where destitution pre
vails, to further their own interests, and are
trying to reduce the price of labor to board
merely, and ihus get contracts of the la
borers. A society of friends interested in the In
dian tribes intend to erect a loom in one of
the rooms of the Indian Bureau with a view
to instructing the several delegations of In
dians who are expected to visit the city this
winter in the practical working of that in
valuable machine. Several Indian squaws
who are already familiar with it will be pres
ent to explain it to the chiefs.
