Ormarsram.—Rev. Threw 4. Cases", of
this city, ruad Rev. ice . giph Dunniof New
York, were on Sunday last, ordained to the
Priesthood, in St. Patric.ks Cathedral, Fourth
street The ordinationeeremony was perform
ed by Bishop Mullen. assisted by a number
of c/o:mien of
_his rilocejte. The' church
was crowded to its'utmost - capacity 'during
the progress of the Imposing ceremony.
NoT Lumx.—The following has been go
ing the rounds of the New York press, unit;
we find it copied into several Perunsylvania r
journals, including the Dispatch :
"A. man from the interior of Pennsylvania.
lost his pocket book a day or two ago. A
by-sunder saw the thief but refused to de.
scribe the pick-pocket. In explanation of
this steange' refusal he asked the vie din," why
did you charge me ten cents for 'a drink- of
water when I was in the army at. Gettys
burg?" There was nothing more to he said
after that."
We are astonished to see papers in our
own State giving currency to statements of
this kind. It is extremely improbable that
any such occurrence as the above transpired,
and the New York press only make use of it
to cast slurs upon the residents of this State.
Guam or Wivan Lore.—At the meeting
of Councils on Monday night the Commit
tee to whom was referred the application
of Messrs Janes, Walker, Vincent and Mar
shall asking. for a grant of fifteen of the city
water Lots; handed in their report. They
recommend that this number Of Jots be sold
to the applicants f0r1 , 5,000, and that they
further bind themselves in the sum of $25,000
to erect a blast ftirnace thereon within one
year from the lat - of April nest. The capaci
ty of this furnace must be at least equal to
that of The netting° Valley Iron works of
Meigs Boyce, Rawle S Co., and the bond to
be given. under the .tom© restretiona and
conditions imposed upon Henry Rawl() mad
his associates. Councils adopted the report
of the Committee, and, as the applicants in
both cases are among our most wealthy and
energetic citizens, we may look for the early
completion of an enterprise that will give a
new impetus to the,, business and prosperity
of the city.
THE PROPOSED NEW RAILROAD - .."-The
new. route contemplated by •the Pennsylva

a couple weeks ago, is designed chiefly for
the transportation of freight at slow speed.
The proposed bianeh ' , road wilt' leave the

net's branch of the Sits - tuella:no, and follow.
that stream to the summit, and down tge_
waters of the lied Bank to its , contluence with
the Allear7, and theve to Dttsburgh.
Upon no Mori of this ,route is there a
gradient exceeding sixteen feet per mile, ex
cept for about four miles at thp stimmit,
where -the grade will be 48 feet i )lnd abotit
the same distance near the mouth'of the Ma
honing, where it wilbreach about 55 feet to
the mile. The lattei grade' maybe avoided
by continuing .up {he aide hill alter striking
this creek, iittul intersecting" We Alleg4ny
Valley Railroad' lower down; but the iy - Ork
would be expensive mot:would retard the
completion of, the mad. It is not proposed
to extend the Philadelkhia•L- Erie line be--
yond Brookville injhis - direction, as it will
be there met by L7ii Western Pennsylvania
or Alleglieny. Val;ey it dlro Id, the charters

following cases were disposed of :
George Bird—charged with receiving

On Monday-afternoon the roll 'of Grand
Jurors was called, and, previous to being"
sworn, they were addressed by the Judge.
In the course of his instructions he re
marked :."kaut informed that thereis scarce

does not have a lottery once a week. If it
man has a horse or a watch, he puts it up at
a good price and disposes 'of it by lottery,
and the excuse is that the churches set the
_example." The law relating to such illegal
practices was read, and the Grand Jury in
formed that it watt their duty to do some
thing toward preventing the habitial infrac

hi:owktier of the Eric City Mills, located, near
the depot. A smallidream, called IchabOd
Run, has been dammed up for the purpose
of supplying the-mill with water. Com
plaint was made- that in summer time
the sluggish water becomes noxious and un
healthy. Several witnesses testified that a•
very unwholesome odor .arises from the
stream in warm weather and alit sickness is
caused by the Saute. The counsel for the
defence proved that the disagreeable smell
complained of was caused by the &posits of
offal and filth thrown into the dam, and that
the culvert over Peach street, built.by the
city in 18t15, had prevented the flow of water
and caused- the stream to rise about fifteen
inches higher, thereby Making It a reservoir
that retained all &Testis. The Court held
that as the city had erected the dam, and not
Mr. MeSparren, a mistake had been made in
selecting the decadent, arid the jury were
so instructed.

years imprisonment In eenitentiary.

peachritenrof having surreptitiously obtained
possession of Philip McGuire's, pocket-hoOk,
containing $45. The evidence would seem
to indicate that Mr. Kavanaugh was guilty, at

but defendant to pay the costs. In this case.
Mr. Ilorrigan was charged with making a
riotous demonstration at the polls in Corry,
at the last Presidential eleaion. We under
stand that the suit was,brought at the insti

party influences compelled him to make the
return. .
Nicholas Boardman, indicted for sodomy.
Verdict "not gnilfr." but guilty of an attempt
to commit the 'crime. The defendant in this
case was charged with committing a crime
against, nature upon the person' of a ,litde
boy, son of Mr. Frederick Brown, of McKean
township. The evidence was not sufficient,
to convict him of the actnal commission of
the crime, but was strong enough to show
that an attempt bad liken made and so the
verdict was returned. . • ,

—Prom the published statement of the board
of directors of the Pennsylvania Central
Railroad, who are the lessees of the Philadel
phia 4V-Erie road, -we gather the folloWing
report of the earnings and expenses of the
latter thoroughfare, for. the year 1868: The
'amount arreceipts from passenger travel was
$331,437; from freight, V,101,013, and from'
miscellaneous sources s7l,loB—making the
total earnings`during that period $2,804,250.
The total , expenses foot 4 $2",:q7,125,
including the thirty per cent. of the earn
ings which is payable to theP.4k R.R.R. Co.
The loss to the company operating the line
thus amounts to $83,274, or • $271,177 less
than the loss of the preceding year. This
exhibit shows a flattering increase in the
baaixtess and earnings of the road, under the
etlicientmausgement of the lessees. The
increase can be ascribed principally to the
development of the freight traffic, and the
decrease in the relative expenses arises from
the tact that the great outlays of the prece
ding year, when the road was very defectiie,
placed it in a condition which diminished the
eapentes arising from - its former incomplete
cbnstructlon.
Rernsorrox.—"Under a misapprehension
of the facts," Mr. P. T. Barry withdraws the
accusations publicly malt: against the honor
of Mr. Barrett, and gives him a certificate as
being - "arr honest and -upright young Man,
and deserving of public confidence," in con-
sideration whereof we presume Mr. Barrett
withdraws hts suit for libel which he pre
ferred against Mr. Barry. It often proves a
very disagreeable matter to rush into print
and afterwards find out that statements which
are publicly paraded are made without foun
dation in fact, - and We are glad - to see in this
instance that the proper. amends has been
made by. Mr. Barry when he discovered that
he had' iterated charges wittiont - sufficient
proof to verify them. We hope out friends
will immediately establish the entente conf late,
by mutually forgetting the cause of their re
cent unpleasantness.
Ws announced last week that the tie vote
for Burgess, at the recent municipal election
at Warren, had been decided In favor of Mr.
S. J. Page. by- the contestants drawing)ots.
'The - Warren - Ledger: DOW puts a' new face
on the matter by stating that't,he act of the
Legisbattre, passed 183-1; which provides
that in case the same number of ballots
are cast for opposite candidates the parties
shall gamble for the office; will not answer
in this case. The borough was incorporated
about two yews before. this act was- passed,
and the-law only applies to boroughs "here
after incorponded." From this the Ledger
is led to infer that Mr. Page is not legally
qualified to act as Burgess; at least until the
matter is determined in Court.
DELEGATB.B ELECTED.—The ClituntY Com
mittee of Crawford county met at Meadville
last wet, and elected Thos. W. Grayson

These are most excellent selection; and we
congratulate:our. Crialbiti count)! brethren

The Senatorial delegate belongs to Crawford

A, MAN named Jacob Yehi, who resided in
the vicinity of Warren, was walking on the
railroad track in the direction of that town,
on Tuesday of last week, when the -Aneom

into the ditch by the roadside. When taken
up life was extinct.
