Many of the Opposition members of
Congress are desirous of staring off the
Tariff question this winter, so that they

endorsed the President's views, and
appointed a committee, composed of
four persons, namely, Messrs. Jones,
Dcwart and Montgomery—to
nt-tend to the business and call the dele

Proposed New Ter4tgties.
An unusnat number of applications are
pending before Congress for the forma
tion of new Territories out of portions
of that vast domain etrotching from the
borders of civilization to the Pacific
Ocean. At least six of these applica
tions are prominent. It is proposed to
form a Territory out of the western
half of what was originally the Territo
ry of Minnesota, which, upon the for
mation of the State, was left without i
a government. "Aarzoxs" has elec
ted a delegate to Congress, who is en
deavoring to have it recognized as a Ter
ritory. It is a ootnbinetion of the son.;
dicer. part of New Mexico with the
Mesilla Valley, and has acquired great j
importance of late from the discoveries
of gold on the Gila ricer. NYVADA" is
' the western part of Utah. " Lsa.otrz"
is the western part of Nebraska. "Sc
. PETtIOR," or Ontonagon, is a proposed
new Territory to be formed out, of the
upper pehinsula of Michigan. That
State is disposed to get rid of It if pas
! sihle. Its geographical position more
nearly allies it with the State of Wis
consin. " COLONA " is another appli
cant for a Tonitorial government, and
embraces the recently discovered re
' gions of Pike's Peak.
I Most of these propositions, says the
' Harrisburg Patriot & Union, are of

Parlientar merit or immediate and pres
sing necessity requiring that tbcy
should be acted upon. One or two of
them may be favorably received at flit,

SAD PASS OF BURNING
An interesting child, Grown C., son of
4 . .tatl and MAIICIALIT STRICLUOCSRII, of this
place, wits po shockingly burned, on Monday
afternoon last, by its clothing accidentally
taking ire, as to cause death iy a few hours.
The child was three years and throe months
of age. and had been left under the care of
an elder sister whilst the mother went ont on
a shopping errand to a neighboring store.—
The sister was amusing her little brother by
making paper dolls, but leaving him for a
moment to go to the *gate to look for her
mother's return, the little boy, it is sup
posed, went so near the stove as to cause the
papers to take fire, end by the time the sis
ter returned his clothing was in a blase.—
Her screams soon attracted several of the
neighbors, who succeeded in putting out the
dames with a vessel of water. A most heart
rending scene was presented to the mother,
who in a few moments returned. Medical
aid was summoned, but without avail. The
child was cheerful to the last, reaching out
his little hands to his mother; saying, " Look
there—look there! Do you see them 1" as
though he saw angels hoveriry above him,
beckoning and ready to bear him to that vast
throng of littleones around the Throne. Ile
died about 1 o'clock next morning. ten hours
after the burning.

General last week ordered a direaph mall from
Baltimore to Gettysburg, sites which the delay
previously caused at liaaoTer by the changing

making of the trip between this and Baltimore
in four hours. The business of the Road is
still on the increase.

A HORSE TURNED DRIVER.
On 'last Wednesday, a farmer drove his
horse and wagon into the rear of McClellan's
Hotel—unhitched and tied the animal to the
wagon to feed. The horse, as though not
satisfied with this, stepped up into the wagon
box, and took his dinner there !—signifying
that he had acted horse long enough, and
now desired his master to occupy the shafts
in return. But. a crowd of wondering and
amused person* collecting to witness this al
togetheinovel "exhibition," his horaeship be
came somewhat astonished, and deliberately
stepped out of the wagon, taking his usual
place. beside the wheel. The top of the wa
gon-bed was nearly as high u the horse, and
it is marvellous that he got up and down
without injury to himself or -the wagon.
There is a different* of opinion as to the
horse's "motive: fessUking position on the
wagon, some supposing that he was frightened
into the act by the whistle of the locomotive,
and other' that it wes a natural desire to "put
way" the provender he discovered there.

in the earnings of the road dualisg the months
of NovembeP and Deessenher. Thus whilst
everything seems In hive emathined to create
difficulties in the way of the earnings of this

OUR NEIGHBORS
The new Methodist E. Church in Hunters
town was dedicated yesterday week. The at
tendance, of all denominations, was large.—
The edifice is of good size, and es%4ltable to
the congregation. Several other 'new build
ings were put up in that place last season, in
good style—and it is to be hoped that this
spirit of enterprise may continue to manifest
itself. There wit* talk of a switch from that
place to the Gettysburg Railroad—distance
about miles—but whether in real earnest,
we are not prepared to say.
In Petersburg, (Y. 5.,) handsome improve
ments are also noticeable. The (iron-front)
store building of Mr. Jecos A. 0•1DX1111 is
nearly completed ; Mr. SPIBIAIX HITRINI3III Is

It is surprising what strange things will
leak out from time to time concerning the
doings of the Know Nothings, during the
dark ages" and still darker night., when
they met in seeret conclave, in uninhabited
houses and dusty garrets, for the purpose of
devising ant laying plans for tho avesthrow
of Democracy. The following is among_ the
latest and truest, and is retitled by a gentle,
man who narrowly escaped being led into
that secret, oath-bound combination,
With much persuasion and many Bowing
arguments, a certain notlirious Know Moth,
ing prevailed anon an unsuspecting and too
credulous neighbor of his to accompany Lin;
to one of their nightly meeting.. The two
accordingly set out one dirk, cloudy night,
for the place of rendezvous. aryl, taking an
"over.lasl route " through fields and wood,
they came very near breekiag their necks
second times by running against trees and
stunyls„ and fulling into ditches. At length,
r making their way throu3h all sort, 14
obstacles fur the distance of about two m/I/ , ,.
they came to a deserted kg cahirt, which the
sada seeurer " pointed out to his well nigh
exhausted companion as the terminus of their '
journey.
On entering the dingy lodge our informant
recognized the faces of quite a number of his
ileiKhhors and acquaintances, who veto
squatte.l around on hu& seats as the nature
of the place aff •rded. and who regarded hint
—the new member that lista to fbe--witl;
looks •if initgled surprise and pleire. The
apartment was , dimly lit up with a single
piece of ...male, and to prevent . any of its
precious light from eseaplog. by which
strangers might be guided thither, all the
windows and crevices wore closed up with
St•tr and Banner newspapers---prubably the
beat use to which they cuuld have been ap-.
plied. Our infurtnint, who by the war, is
very worthy and respectable man, does nut
think proper, for conscience's sake, to dia..
elope everything he there saw and heard ;
suffice it ti say that the proceeding* of this
meeting were of such a oharactbr that be
w.oild not. for a moment, have supposed any
hut the most abandoned wretches would
have sanctioned them. After the regular and
more important duties of the meeting were
attended to, the assem b ly was edified by the
{ delivery i f several very allusive speeches, or
rather harangues. against Catholics, Foreign
ers, Democracy, Slavery, and the d—lknJws
what ell, in which legic. English grammar,
and truth, were used up shamefully.
After the meeting bad adjourned, and the
two were again jogging along together on
their way home, our friend asked the Know
Nothing to explain to him why their meni-,
hers were not allowed, on any conditions, to
vote for any hut those of their men etrilfw,
and why they were so zealous in trying to
abolish slavery.
" Why, sir," replied the Know Nothing,
" the realism why we are reqnired to support
each other at the polls is simply this : If
we can once get the ruling power Into nor
hands, we can easily maintain it, Sys we can
taco, if necessary, make laws allowing
negroee the right to vote—these will be sure
to be of our party. Thus you see that, when,
once we have secured the power, we van
easily maintain it. For the same reason wa
desire the total abolition cf slavery.'
"Ah !" replied our friend, who by this.
time wan by no means favorably impressed
with Know Nothingisni, "your motive. then,
in holding your secret meetings, in binding
yourselves to support each other under all
circumstances, and in crying down slavery.
is to advance your own mean, selfish in
terests, and not, as you pretend, to sore the
country. relieve suffering humaaity, and all
that sort thing If these are the principles
upon which Know Nothingism is basedi,
shall never want to have anything to do
with it."
It is but just to say that the geAtleman
above referred In, who so narrowly escaped
having the wool of the "wadies" drawn
over his eyes, is still a sound Democrat %
and means to remain one. SIGMA.
