Casualties of the last Two Years, 1 We find in circulation, a statement of the ercat losses l-v the apeneies of steam and fire, in the U L'uited Slates, during the two years past, of which we publish the following compendium : b 1854 1855 Lives by burning buildings 171 1 11) No. of fires where lives lost 8-J 02 Steamboat accidents 43 27 Persons wouuded 225 107 Lives lost 5i7 17G Railroad accidents . 193 142 Persons wounded 59 539 Lives lost 225 11G Total of lives lost 941 413 Of the 116 killed on railroads, 01 were persons connected with the roads. But the lists do not embrace those who were druuk on the track, or who were injured by jumping on or off the cars when in motion, or other similar modes of semi suicide. " 1S5S IUS Fires causing loss of $20,000 or over 223 . 193 Amount of losses 820,578,000 13,049,000 This is fearful ud often wicked waste of property, most of which could vj i - precautions in building, have been taved. The aggregate losses of life aud prop erty have been, I'rovidentially, less than last year. More care has been taken to guard against accidents. The sadden public deaths arc known to the world, and everywhere published and talked about with horror but the cata logue of deaths from what may be called private causss such as sloth, effeminacy, licentiousness, passion, gluttony, intempe rance, ic would, if honestly made up, te far greater-than the above; probably f'H ''vei are sacrificed to private vice, to one from public calamity. Legislative Expenses. Some per sons, anxious to justify the last Legisla ture for raising their own pay to a salary of $500, have contended that it did not increase the aggregate expenses of the Legislature. That this is fallacious is sufficiently proved by the returns of the treasury department for 1854 and 1855, which are as follows : 1854. 1855. Expenses of Qwrenwnt, l-W.euiSl fB.ol Si. The difference is about forty thousand dollars, which is about the additional pay of Members of the Legislature. This sum is an item to a people already heavi ly burthened. Decidedly Cool. The editor of the Columbia (Georgia) Corner Stone gives the following resson for the interest that jonrnal has manifested in the subject of Kansas emigration. It says : "We feel no interest in the Kansas question, except that resulting from the hope that they may get op a difficulty over it, which may by possibility result in a dissolution of the Union. We would not, for any other benefit we expect the South to derive from it, turn on cur heel for choice whether it shall be a free or a lave State." Harrislmrg "Patriot k Union."

HaAn aged and well informed citizen assures us that the late George Kremer did not make his Middlecreek purchases until some years after the county site was fixed at New Berllu--consequently, the rumor we recently published, relative to bit course on that occasion, was as unfounded as it was contrary to his gene ral character.

Search was immcJiatJy made by the attendent, and Mrs. Stroud went into the attic and looking out of the scuttle found the child at the eaves of the roof, sitting in the gutter with its feet hanging over the outer edge. The little fellow was screaming with all its might, and without for a moment thinking of the danger to which she was exposed, she slipped down the roof to the eaves, and seizing ber darling boy, bore Lim in .safety to the attic, when she instantly fainted, and it was with much difficulty that she was restored to consciousness. Several persons witnessed the occurrence with j great fears for tbe safety of both mother I and Ail'l.LtnraJtr Whig. I BURG LtfUSBURG, UNION CO., PA., fi Railroad Heeting at tonsbUrg.

They credit wider and longer; get oft cner cheated ; suffer more pecuniary loss, and oftcner the victims of misplaced con fidence, than any other calling in the comraunty. People py a printer's bill mere reluctantly than any other. It goes harder with them to expend a dollar on a valuable newspaper, than tenon a needless gewgaw; yet every body avails himself of the use of the editor's pen and printer's ink.
