Griffey, formerly of the Girard Union, has purchased an interest in the Con neaut Reporter, and is to be one of the editors of the raper—a position we suspect he has quietly filled for some time past. We con— gratulate Mr. G. upon his return to the ranks. Mr. Scofield professes to have an intense admiration for the doctrines of the Declara— tion. Will he have the goodness to inform os how he reconciles his proposed policy towards the South with that clause of the instrument which declares that all government derives its legality from the consent of the governed ? We congratulate our friends at Union on, the probability of the early completion of the road from that place to Titusville. Parties connected with the railroad assure us that it is certainly to be built, and that the work will soon; commence. Its completion will un donlitedly be of much advantage to the into rests of the people of that town. The citizens of Titusville have set the ball in motion for, the estalliehment of a new county. Meetings are being held, delegates to Harrisburg appointed, and the subject thoroughly brought to the attention of the people interested. The activity displayed glees strong ground for belief that the measure will succeed, willies there should be some constitutional hindrance, of which we are not now aware. The room of Lake Erie Lodge of Masons, at Girard, is being handsomely refitted, at an expe‘nse of $4OO.

In crossing the railroad near the depot the animals became fright ened, and ran divert street at a fearful rate The wagon struck against a lamp post; was deal! 1 to pieces, and the men thrown out. Both of them were severely hart, and, in the case of one, it was feared the injuries would result fatally. A row of wooden buildings, on Third street, •ear the depot, in Dunkirk, was destroyed by fire on Wednesday night. The firs originated in a German Emigrant House, through the careless ex 'mune of octal oil. Four bodice bare been taken from the ruins burned be yend identification. They are supposed to be emigrants. One man was .restmed from the flames, but se badly burned that Ms re covery is doubtful. The concert for the benefit of Prof.llller, in Farrar Hall, on Wednesday evening, was very linely conducted, and gave general satis faction. The seleotioos were of the best 'clue, and they were performed with w skill not often exhibited.

Our farmer friends will beer in mind that, according to a decision of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, all persons who kill any eattle, calves, swine or Omen, to sell, are re— quired to pay a tax, on the same at the fel lowing rates: Cattle, over three menthe, 40 cents . ; under three months, 5 cents ; swine, 10 cents; sheep, 5 cents. In ease of evasion, 'Action 102 of the Revenue Law attaches a penalty of *lO per head, for any cattle, calves, swine or sheep, se elsaghtered and sold. The Cleveland Herald, of Saturday, lays "the train over the C. & T. Road brought a woman to this city yesterday, who wu trans ferred to the Lace Shore Read, with instruc tions •to leave her at Erie There seemed to be something mysterious about the affair when she arrived here, as no one could ; tell who she wu, where she wu from or whither bound. She was carried on a cot, oneuled beneath blankets, by railroad men, from one train to the other. We learn this morning that she leas started frrm Chicago, by some of the city authorities, for Erie, where, It was . supposed, her friends lived. She is a cripple, and wu being supported by one of the benevolent societies of the former city. No one in Erie appeared to know anything about her, and the probability is, she will be returned to Chicago." • .The Warren Nail (Radical,) is responsible for the following fiendishly "disloyal " para graph : As VIESIILTHY Roust.—A short time ago there were. some statements made in regard to the unhealthiness of the White Bosse at Washington.

Let. it be rem membered that Mr. gaoled hanover and over again, in days riot long put, mowed his op position to negro suffrage, saying the blsoki were not tit for the privileges of citizenship; and declaring that to grant then the unlit would "be an abiurdity such as the worldnesei before heard of."

The Philadelphia Ledger wishes to Impress upon the people ofthat city the fact that their railroad policy hat lost them the friendship of Western Peunsylvanta, and thinks the only way-to correct the matter is for the Pennsyl vania Company to thoroughly identify Welt with the prosperity of this part of the State. We are heartily gratified to know that one at least of the Philadelphia papers has diseov ered that there is a Western portion of the Commonwealth, and that it has Interests worth attending to. If that city had pur sued a proper course ten years ego, she might now be enjoying the beeefite of the trade of this section almost without a rival. - Rev. Mr. Laurie will deliver the closing lecture of his series 'pen Bell, in the Uni versalist Church, on . Sabbath evening next. We had the pleasure of listening to' his leo tore last Sabbath, and although it did not correspond with the views we have been edu cated to believe upon the subject, we freely hear testimony to its ability end earnestness. Mr. Laurie is a deep thinker, as well as im• presslva'speaker, and he gives to every topic which be dismisses, a freshness and attractive ness which renders his addresses peculiarly interesting. • When the adroit political gymnast who misrepresents this District in Congress wu roiling Democrats in his electioneering speeches, and bindly declaring that to op pose the Administration was treason to the Goverment, he little expected the chalice he desired to first's to the lips of Democrats would so sous be pressed to his own. The boot is on the other leg now, and we are anxious to see how the tricky Booleld will wriggle out of it.

The dullest season of the year it at hand, and business of all kinds is dormant. The stagnation of trade in the oil regions has ta inted our city to• vs extent.— From nsiderable prevent prespe , we anticipate that business will hardly revive until the opening of navigation. A largely increased trade is expeeted,at our harbor next season. The schooner Bonnie loon, seised by the United States authorities at this pert, for alleged violation - of the Revenue Laws, has been released by the 'action of the Court at Pittsburgh. Col.

The Corry Telegraph says Mr. Robert Tompkins, late of the Watertown (Wis.) Re pp6licsn, has arrangements for com• mencing the publication of a new paper in Corry, to be anti•Densoorstio in politics. Our impression is that the newspaper business is overdone in this section, but if any parties are wiling to risk their time and money in further undertakings, we are willing that_ they should have a fair chance. The colored exhibition in Pamir Hall real ized $160,60 of which $47,50 were required to meet expenses, leaving a net profit of $lOB. Of this, $9B were presented to Mr. Ham Waters, for when benefit Om ooneert was given, who—the colored donors ay—"as soon as his surprise and enaction would perr mit, responded in as sicquent speech." A proniinent statesman once said it was the hardest thing in the world for a public wan to keep a consistent record. To pollticlani like Mr. Scofield, the matter is easy enongh. Their tergiversations are so netoriene, that they need only persevere in being consistently inconsistent to preserve their reputations Com piste. B. W.

' Tkey have at length bit upOtt a Alin, the essiiitiattetibires of which aro thus stated by a coteeiperary : • "There is to be a oontitinous narrow gauge line from the cities of flew York and Philadel phia, to •Claveland, Cincinnati and Da3tor, and other points to or with which the Atlant:c d Great Western Railway Company may have access or connection.' From Cleveland three is - already a narrow gauge, in addition to the wide, ost the Mahoning Railroad, and from Dayton to Franklin narrow gauge rails will be laid inside the Wilb:gange to isthe case on the Idshoning Railroad. From Franklin the new line is to be built tirough Venango, Clarion, Jefferson, Clearfield, Centre, Union and Ntretkumberland counties, to the Western end of the Catawisea Railroad at Milton, under the charters of the Northern Central and the Lewisburg, Centre and 13prnoe Creek Railroads will also be narrow gauge. Thence the route will be over the Catawissa Railway to Tamaqua, down the little Echuylkill, (now oontrolled by the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad.) and over the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad to Philadelphia. The New York line will leave the Reading Read at or near Port Clinton by a branch to be built by that Company to Topton on the Basil's. road, thence over the latter read to Allentown, and to Easton _-•by an extension of the East Pa. road. From Easton it will proceed to N. V. by the Morris and Essex Railroad; which is to be extended from Hackettstown, (Its pres ent terminus,) to Easton. "The line from Franklin le Milton is to be built under the direction and control of the A. &0. W. Co., which, in fact, owns it. The Catawissa Railway and the Morris and Essex are !sued for nine hundred and ninety nine year', the Cleveland, Mahoning, NeW Lisbon and Oil Creek Railroads for ninety nine years, and the agreement with the Philadelphia and Reading and East Pa. Railroads is' also to continue for ninety nine years. The unfit lobed links in the narrow gauge line from New York and Philadelphia to Cleveland and Dayton are to be commenced in six months from the date of the contract. and to be com pleted by- theist of November, 18d9. The 29th „claim iethe agreement states that it -baba t(be *fleet of the agreetnint to furnish MAI" murk facilities for freight and peseenuers to and from Philadelphia and New York, East and West, It b-hereby agreed by and between the Atlantia& Great Western Railway Company, and Philadelphia and Reading Railway Co.. that whenever the &Gagne of Philadelphia and the citizens of Pennsylvania shall together provide and fur nish one half the sum of money necessary to build and equip a satisfactory line of steamers to run between the ports of Philadelphia and England, then and in such event the said At 'antis and Great Western Railway Company and the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Co. will each furnish one-half of the remain ing sum therefor.'-" The Peen'a !It.'

Whatever may be the result, volumene hesitation in ea; iog that the sympathies of a vast majority of the public are with the - A. & 6. W. Co in the easiest.
