FIRE.—The store building owned by Har rison 87.. Couch, in West Huntingdon, (Ports town,) and occupied by Mr. George Couch, was completely destroyed by fire last night. The safe.coritaining Mr. C.'s books was all that was saved. The goods were all destroys 'ed. The Sedate License Bill: The bill reported in the Senate by Mr. Wilkins, from the Committee on Vice and Immorality, to repeal the restraining liquor law and substitute a judicious and carefully devised license system, contains a number of provisions that will commend it to approval, while others are more or less liable to objec tion. The first section declares unlawful all taverns, hotels, inns and beer houses, victual ling houses and restaurants, as well as all public_places, or rooms kept for the sale of vinous,,spiritous, malt or brewed liquors, un l'ess licensed agreeably to the act. Section two requires a person lieensed by the County Treasurer to be a citizen of the United States, of good moral and sober character, and to pay the-assessed sum for the license, and requires him to give bond to the Common wealth, - With one or more sureties, in $l,OOO, condi tioned that the citizen shall not sell or deal many wine, brandy, rum, whiskey, or such like spirituous liquor rendered on w holdsorne or adulterated, and shall not suffer drunken ness, bebauchery, &c., in his house, &c. Sec tion three establishes two classes of taverns; one to sell wines, brandy, spirits and malt and brewed liquors, and the other to sell cider, 'leer, ale, porter, and malt liquor. Section four provides that the license shall be rated according to the estimated valuation, or the rental of the house intended to be occupied, as follows: For the first class, $lOOO, where the rental is $lO,OOO or more; $BOO, where rental is between $BOOO and $10,000; $6OO, where the rental is between $6,000 and $8,000; $4OO, between $4,000 and $6,- 000; $3OO, between $2,000 and $4,000; $2,00, between $l,OOO and $2,000; $lOO, between $5OO and $1,000; $5O, between $3OO and $5- 00; $3O, between $l5O and $300; $25, when the rental is under $l5O. Section five provides that the - tavern-keepers who apply for license tosell only cider , beer, ale, malt and brewed beverages, shall be classed in the same man ner as mentioned in the fourth section, and shall be assessed and taxed according to the class in which they shall be placed, at one half the rates above mentioned. Other sec tions provide numerous details. One section enacts that the law shall not be construed to interfere with the Sunday law, nor the law of May 8, 1855, to protect certain demestic and private rights, and prevent abuse in the sale and use of intoxicating drinks. A Board of Licensers is established in Philadelphia, to consist of the senior City Commissioner and two citizens, appointed by the Court of Quar ter Sessions. The last section repeals the act of April 14, 1855, to restrain the sale of intoxicating liquors, and the act of 16th of April, 1849, and provides that no license of any tavern, inn or hotel shall be hereafter granted unless subject to the provisions Of this act.

The annual election for President and Di - - rectors of the Huntingdon and Broad Top Mountain Railroad and Coal Company., took place in Philadelphia on Monday of last week . The following gentlemen. were elected: President—L. T. WATTSON. DirCCtOrS-'-S. MORRIS WALN, SAMUEL WELSH, JOHN DEVERUEX, DANIEL HADDOCK, HORATIO C. WOOD, JAMES W. PAUL, RATH NELL WILSON, JOHN MCCA NLES, JAMES B. LANE, JAMES ENT RIKEN, JOHN SCOTT, A. P. WILSON. We make the following extract tom the annual report of the Directors to the Stock holders : The road from flunlingtton to Stonerstown, twenty-four miles, is completed, and the cars running upon it daily. The bridge at the latter point can be completed with one week of good weather, and the track from that to the mines is already laid, with the exception of about one and a half miles, which the track-layers are now putting down. We ex pect to commence the regular transportation of coal by the 30th inst. The track of the road has been laid with T rail of the best qual ity, from the Cambria Iron Works, weighing 56 lbs. to the yard, on substantial cross ties, laid ir. ballast of broken stone, and the whole work, as far as completed, done in the most substantial manner. Two portions of the Company's lands have been leased_ to re sponsible and practical lessees, for a term of five years, at a rent of twenty five cents per ton, and the lessees have already driven in five gangways, from 120 to 150 yards each, and are now erecting schoots and platforms, so that they will, in a short time, be prepar ed to deliver from three to four hundred tons daily. Besides the two already leased, we expect to have three other of the Company's mines opened and ready for leasing by May, for which we have already numerous appli cants. A. large number of private operators are also opening their mines, and heavy con tracts for the Spring delivery of coal have been made by them, as well as by the Com pany's lessees. The Broad Top Improvement Company and the Semi-Anthracite Company, whose lands lie higher upon the mountain, have each opened extensive gangways, and will, they say, be prepared to deliver 200 to 400 tons daily by May, a short branch to their mines being now rapidly graded. On the Six Mile Run, the Riddlesburg bank is al ready opened, and other mines are being pre pared for working extensively during the en suing summer. From the vigor with which the work at the mines is being pushed both by the Company's lessees and by private operators, and from the heavy contracts alrea dy made for the delivery or coal ) we aresat isfied that the present year's business will far exceed our calculations hitherto made.-- The Broad Top mines being generally opened from the outcrop, and no breakers, screens, or enginer needed, they can be much more rapidly developed than these of an anthracite region. The annexed statement is, perhaps, as near an approximation as eau be made to the busi ness of the present gear. Transpootation 150,000 tons coal, at 75 cents, $112,500 00 Rent from Company's mines, say 60,000 tons, at 25 cts. 15,000, 00 Receipt from passengers and mails, 15,000 00 Local feeiglit, including lum- bcr, iroti iron oar, produco, maze., &:c ~ 15,000 00 EXPENDITURES Six stations, for repairs, five men each, 6,',9,500 00 Removing slides, &c., 2,500 00 Running, 2 freight trains I year, 15,000 ,00 Running one extra train 6 in mills 3,750 00 Running one passenger train t year, 6,500 00 Salaries, rents, superin tendence, &e., _ 7,000 00 Con'ingencies, 10,000 00 Nett earnings. lutcrest on $500,000 b 'rids, at 7 per cent., $35,000 00 Six per cent, on $550,000 stock, 33,000 00 Surplus, The nett earnings of the road the second year, by which time a large number of col lieries will be opened, will perhaps be nearly double that of the first, and must annually increase thereafter. The peculiar adapta tion of this coal to the use of locomotive, steamships, and stationary engines, as welt as rolling mills, foundries, &c., the solidity of its coake, and its value for blast furnaces, will of themselves create an immense demand for it. Besides this, it is only necessary for it to be known, in order to take the place of Anthsacite for stoves and open grates in families, burning freely, with little smoke, and making as cheerful and pleasant a fire as hickory wood. With these facts before us, we think we hazard little in saying that with in a very few years, the Broad Top coal re gion, this heretofore terra incognita, will send to market a million of tons annually. With a liberal charter, granting many valuable privileges, and without- restrictions upon div idends, with the most valuable coal is the State, or perhaps in the United States, for nefrly all the purposes enumerated above, and with 2,500 acres valuable coal lands, cos ting the Company comparatively nothing, there is no reason, being once completely in operation, why the stock should not pay as large dividends as any other in the market, and command as high a price. L. T. WATTSON, President. The following resolution was offered in the caucus of the Democratic members of the Legislature on Friday last, and unani mously adopted : .Resolved, That the Democratic members of the Senate and House of Representatives of Pennsylvonia, in caucus assembled, do hereby express their unanimous approbation of the course pursued by the Democratic members of the House of our National Congress, for their steady and unyielding support of the na tional principles of the party, which know "no north, no south, no east, no west"—and urge upon them the propriety of still adhering , to their nation's honor. 1 Washington News. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18, 1856. Correspondence of the Globe: Returning to Washington after an absence of several weeks, I find affairs at the Capitol in much the same condition as when I The House is still unorganized, and nobody pretends to say how or when a Speaker will be chosen. Friends of Mr. Banks who were sanguine of the ultimate success of that gen tleman some weeks ago, are now despondent and would change their votes if they could see any prospect of electing any other ad herent of the Northern Know Nothing organ ization. But they can see no such prospect, and therefore they will bear yet awhile the ills they have, rather than fly to others that they know not of. Mean while the Republidan op ponents of Mr. Banks, though few in num ber; are active and determined. At their de mand another Anti• Nebraska caucus was held night before last, at which they made an earnest effort to get rid of Mr. Banks. They did not succeed, the causus resolving, as I am reliably informed, by a vote of 60 to 12; to adhere to Mr. B. He never will be elected. There was an interesting time in the House yeiterday. John S. Carlile, (It. N.) the "lone star" of Virginia, attempted to deliver a set speech, which was cut off in the middle by a call to order, there being a ten-minute rule in operation and the "lone star" having blazed away for three-quarters of an hour before the call was made. Mr. Carlile attracted marked atiention, not because of the brilliancy of his remarks, but on account of the singularity of his movements. He reared and pitched like a vicious horse trying to shake off his bridle and kick off his breeehbands, and tossed his head about till his hair became as hopelessly tangled as "Topsy's" in the play of "TJncle Tom." Kunkle's Serenaders used to sing a song about "Old Joe kickin' up behind and befo', And the yaller gal kiekin l tip behind ()Id Joe." If there had been a "yellow gal kicking up behind" Carlile, the beautiful conception of the "old Joe" poet would have been realized in the House yesterday. But by far the most interesting feature of yesterday's proceedings was the speech of Hon. A. H. Stephens, of Georgia. Mr. Steph ens was formerly a Whig, but is now acting with the Democracy. His stature is dimin utive—he would hardly weigh a hundred pounds; his voice is small and silvery, and his appearance not only youthful but boyish, al though he has been a Member of Cougress some eight or ten years, if f am not mistaken. But woe betide the luckless Wight who, judg ing Mr. Stephen's intellectual calibre by his physical proportions, ventures td grapple him in debate. Mr. Zollicoffer; file-leader of that "awkward squad," the Southern Know Nothings, made a set at Mr. Stephens yester day, and got a genteel drubbing that would last a man of moderate desires the remainder of his life. Mr. Zollicoffer endeavored to prove inconsistency upon Mr. Stephens, who supports the Nebraska bill, by reading from an old speech of his in opposition to "squatter sovereignty;" Mr. S. showed that there was no such thing as "squatter sovereignty" in the Nebraska bill. He gave a lucid explana tion of "squatter sovereignty," in the origi nal acceptation of the term, and pointed out the difference between it and the "popular sovereignty" of the Nebraska bill. Mr. Stephens answered all Mr. Zollicoffer's ques tions) and then proceeded to catechise that gentleman. The scene was rich. Poor "Zolly" got a great deal more than he bargained for. He dodged, but could not escape. The poin ted questions, shot at him in a sharp, shrill voice, seemed to bore him through. The gal leries laughed; the House laughed; "Zolly" himself tried to laugh, but only succeeded in coaxing a rueful smile to flicker on the wrong side of his mouth. $157,500 00 $54,950 00 $103,250 00 The Lord knows when you will hear of the election of a Speaker: Prayers for an organ ization ought to be offered up without delay in all the churches in the country. ft ought to be done speedily if at all, because this Con gress. will soon be past praying for, as things are going now. HUNTINGDON. $68,000 00 $35,9,50 00 Placing the Responsibility in the Right The country at large cannot have forgotten the language employed by. the Abolition and Know Nothing press before the meeting of Congress; for it was the language of exultation and insolence. They claimed, and claimed with truth, angrerwhelming majority in the House of Repreientatives; and exhibited the numerical strength* the Democrats in that body in a spirit of insulting derision. They would elect their candidate for Speaker ; they wculd organize the committees to Suit the Abolition sentiment of the North : they would restore the Missouri Compromise line ; they would do each and all those things which savored of opposition to Democrats and Dem ocratic principles. How this sweeping pro gramme has been carried out, let the follow ing extract from the Bosten Atlas show : "But there are really only two parties in the House—that supporting Mr. Richardson and that supporting Mr. Banks. The suppor ters of other gentlemen constitue small fac tions, governed more or less by mere person al considerations. They have no reason to anticipate success. They can invite the Democrats to no coalition at all likely to be successful. Nor are the Democrats desirous of a coalition. They have stood by their principles and their candidate up to the pres ent hour; but they have done so without the least possible hope of victory. No man rep resenting theadministration can be elected.— If, therefore, this protracted contest be dan gerous to the country—if it be likely to ern, Quarter barna% the government—if organization be the desideratum—is it not for the Democratic members to yield 1" According to the logic of the Atlas, the one .hundred and sixty opposition members of the Rouse are looking to the seventy-four sup porters of RicuAansoic for an organization ! This absurdity is thus answered by the Ohio State Journal, which, like the Atlas, is one of the recognized organs of, Black Republican ism : "We cheerfully agree that the Administra tion members are not in any respect responsi ble for this delay. They have selected their man„and on every ballot they give him their entire strengthseventy-five votes. It be longs to the oppositien organiie that body. The country expect, and has a right to expect., it from them. They will be held to a strict accountability for the delay." Huntingdon Co. Agricultural Society. In pursuance of notice the Hunting,don County Agricultural Society met in the Court House, on Wednesday evening the 16th of January 1856, and was organized by the President taking the chair. The minutes of last meeting read and adop ted. The next business in order being the elec tion of officers to serve the ensuing year, when on motion of Gen. S. Miles Green, it was unanimously agreed that the old officers should be continued. - Israel Graft us, Esq., of Porter township described his method of cultivating the beet, and his manner of feeding the- same. He said that the beet was not more difficult to raise than. potatoes, and that he raised 70 bushels on 5 square rods, or at the rate of 2,- 540 bushels per acre. Gen. S. Miles Green, offered the following resolutions in reference to the Pennsylvania Warners' High School:— Resolved, That the Huntingdon County Agricultural Society feel a deep interest in the early establishment of the Farmers' High School of Pennsylvania upon a permanent basis. Resolted, That whilst we cannot too high ly commend the lioerality which has confer red upon the Institution two hundred acres of land and twenty-five thousand dollars in money ; we feel that all the means at the dis pose/ of the Trustees aro wholly inadequate to the construction of buildings suitable for the accorn•nodation of the students, the Prin cipal and PrOfessors—for the housing of the stock, and the production of the farm.— Therefore, Resolved, That we most earnestly request onr Representatives in the Rouse and the Senate, not only to vote for a bill making a liberal appropriation of not less than twenty five thousand dollars, to the Farmers' High School of Pennsylvania, but to use their in fluence to procure its passage. Resolved, That the Secretary be instruc ted to have the above resolutions printed, and a copy forwarded to each member of the Sen ate and House of Representatives. H. N. McAllister, Esq., one of the Trustees of said Institution being called upon, addres sed the meeting at some length, making in teresting explanations in regard to thebuil dings for said school. On motion of Theo. H. Cromer, Esq., the rules of the Philadelphia Reading Room were entered upon the minutes of the Society. Mr. Cramer gave his opinions at soma length in regard to the cause of the potato rot. On motion of Wm. Orbison, tsq., the fol lowing resolution was adopted : Resolved, That the Pennsylvania Farm Journal be recommended to the members of this society, as a cheap Agricultural Month ly Journal s containing a large amount of in formation profitable and interesting to agri culturists. On motion of Gen. S. Miles Green, the dis cussions on the best method of resuscitating old worn but meadow ground, and the cause and remedy for the potatoe rot, were contin ued to next meeting of the Society: On motion, adjourned.

The deceased had been ailing since May last. during which time he was kindly cared for, while at home, by his sisters, brothers, and friends, who were peculiarly zealous in minis. tering to his wants. Had the prayers of sisters, brothers, friends availed he would not have died. He was not only loved by his fond and confiding sisters and friends, but all who knew him, es teemed him. He having a faint hope that the disease which baffled the skill of his physicians here (a pitiful. nary affection,) might be mitigated, if not cur_ ed, b'y the combined skill of the profession in Philadelphia, he was removed there a few weeks since; and now seeing his corpse being brought back to be interred by the side of his an cestry, tells us that, "When death receives the dire command, None can elude, or stay his hand." The deceased was a true friend—a philantho4 pist. He could not see want or misery around him without, noiselessly, assuaging their cry by consoling words, or a portion of this world'a comforts, of which by frugality and industry he had an abundance, He looked upon death as releasing him from the ills of life. His demise being so sudden, there was no loved sis ter to pillow his head on her throbing bosom, or wipe the damps of death from off his brow. He put his trust in "one who stickith closer than a brother''to accompany him "through the dark valley and shadow of death"— "When struggling trust and lingering bar, Cast shedows o'er the flemy eye; What rapture then, that voice to hear; "Be of good chcer—'as I!"
