Tb management of the Auditor General s office at Harrisburg is the subject of a Legislative investigation ' just now. It appears that the State ! lieid a cuiai oi against me Union Transportation Company. For some reason or other the Auditor General failed to collect the money. He put the claim into the liands of a man named Olmstead. Mr. Olm stead was to receive ten per cent, for collecting it He knew how to collect it, and pocketed 19,000 by the trans action. It is presumed the investi gating committee will leara and re port why it became necessary to em ploy Mr. Olmstead to collect the money. Through mails for cities, but give people in the Juniata Valley mails on way trains. When a man proclaims it abrond that he was one of the simon-pure men who agitated the abolition of slavery, he makes use of his privilege to talk of himself, but when he en deavors to manufacture a public sen timent against the securities of the Nation that is, the bonded indebt edness of the Nation, debts that were created to extinguish the slavery that he glories in having condemned j then he proclaims himself a man of bad intent, or a man of unsound judgment Keep your wits about j you when in intercourse with the j man who tells you that he glories in the fact that he was an original abo litionist, and that now he is in favor of a vigorous war against the securi ties of the Nation. The National debt was incurred because of the war against slavery. If the war against slavery was right, the debt was an honest one, and the tirade against it is an outrage. If the war against slavery was wrong, then the debt was a fraud But what then becomes of the men who glory in announcing tie the fact that they were original abo litionists ?

The following dispatch to the Phil adelphia Timet, last Friilay, will serve as an index to the way the Southern claim business will be pushed forward and managed if the next Congress becomes a Democratic Congress : The proceedings in the House of Representatives to-day (Friday) will not soon be forgotten by the Demo cratic Congressmen. ' The Postmas ter General of the late Confederacy was placed face to face with the Con federate archives and acts of the Confederate Congress, and was some what confounded by these documents. The circumstances were these : A bill was pending for 300.(RK) to pay Southern mail contractors for ser vice claimed to have been rendered to the United States before secession. The Republicans have maintained that even if the claims were original ly just, and could be so proved, the contractors deserved no indemnity from the United States, because they stole government property in their possession, violated their oaths and conspired to destroy the Republic The Democrats maintained that these claims were just and should be paid, and they had some Republican help. The ex-Confederates farther asserted, through Mr. Reagan, of Texas, their Postmaster General, that Southern Postmasters were directed to account to the United States for all moneys due the latter. The evidence of the Confederate archives and Confederate laws showed, on the contrary, that the Confederate Postmaster General ordered the former United States Postmasters in the South to hold the United States money ; that that mon ey was put into the Confederate Trea sury, and that laws were subsequent ly passed by the Confederate Con gress paying eight hundred thousand dollars to these very mail contractors for this same service, upon the express conditions however, that if they (the contractors) should ever recover from thai United States that amount or any portion of it they should reimburse the Confederate Government or its representatives, and eighteen vouch ers, signed by the very men who are now asking relief in this bill for three hundred thousand dollars, are on file in the Confederate archives. The eTe t was startling. The Democrats were confounded, and Mr. Reagan himself almost speechless He seem ed overwhelmed and surprised. The ex Confederates sought to smother the bill in committee by recommittal They were foiled, however, by the parliamentary rkfll of the Republi cans. They then asked for time to recover from their surprise and to vindicate what they called the honor of the Confederacy, but the bill went over for two weeks. Through mails for cities, bat give conn try pe"in, in the Juniata Valley, maij on ay trains. Married Women's Property Bights As an addeudum to the editorial notes printed a few days ago in the Ledger on Married Women' Property Kigbts, our attention is called to the act of the Legislature of 1872, found on page 1010, section 37, of Brightly's Pnrdon, edition of 1873, in these words: 'All contracts made by married women in the pnrcbase of sewing machines for their own use, shall be valid and bind ing, without the necessity of the bus baud joining in tbe same." This certainly extended tbe power of married women to make contracts, so far as sewing machines are concerned ; but it has not been an unmixed benefit to them. It is under this that tbe con tract to Aire or tease tbe machines are niade, the lessee to pay instalments, io., by way of renl for tbe vat of tbe ma chine, witb the right ultimately to be come tbe owner when a stipulated num ber of instalments shall have been paid. Many women, however, do not under stand tbe nature of such contracts when they sign tbero, they being under tbe impression that tbey have bought the machines, when in fat they have only j lined in a lease for the use of them, and that it ic not until tbe last instal ments are paid that tbev have aotually bought the machines. It is this mis understanding that has led to ninety nine in a hundred of tbe troubles grow iug eut of the instalment system as connected with sewing machines. Philadelphia Ledger. Save Us from a Tear Without a Summer. SOME REMARKABLE SEASONS REMEM BERED BT THE OLDEST INHABITANTS. From Harper's Weekly. An aged resident of Hartford remem bers tbat the winter of 18:!8 30 sur passed this in miiduess; farmers plowed very month of the season, and nosuow fell until February 2. Tbe winter was followed, however, by cold, backward spring, with a bdow storm in May, which killed tbe returning swallows. As an offset to the above story, one of tbe old residents of Derby tells us the " year without a summer." Old New England farmers refer to it as " eigh teen hundred aud starved to death." January was mild, as was also Febru ary, with the exception of a few days. The greater part of March was cold and boisterous. April opened warm, but grew colder as it advanced, ending with snow and ice, and winter cold. In May ice formed balf an inch thick, buds and flowers were frozen, and corn was killed. Frost, ice and snow were common in June. Almost every green thing was killed, and fruit was nearly all destroy ed. Snow fell to the depth of three inches in New York and Massachusetts, and ten inches in Maine. July was ac companied witb frost and ice. On tbe 5th ice was formed of tbe thickness of window-glass in New York, New Eng land and parti of Pennsylvania, and corn was nearly all destroyed in cer tain sections. In August ice formed balf an inch thick. Corn was so frozen tbat a great deal was rut down and dried fot fodder. Very little ripened in tbe New England and Middle States. Farmers were obliged to pay four and five dollars a bushel for corn of 1815 for seed for the next spring's planting. Tbe first two weeks of September were mild ; the balance of tbe month was cold, with frost, and ice formed a quar ter of an inch thick. October was more than usually cold, with frost and ice. November was cold and bluster ing, witb snow enough for good sleigh ing. December was quite mild and comfortable. A liapiist church in Trenton N. J., has a sensation. A Mrs. Mount bad ber feelings greatly outraged by tbe preacher making remarks about tbe will of one of ber departed relatives several years ago, since then she has been attending church but not as a respectful listener, ber respect for the preacher is gone, she sits and makes faces at the preacher, who is so moved by ber conduct that ho cannot preach. Last Sunday tbe Sheriff and posse kept ber out of church. It will not be ne cessary to call cut tbe soldiers, but there is a fat job iu prospect for the Lawyers. Storm. A severe snow stoiiu set in at Syd ney, 400 miles from Bitter Creek, Wyoming, to Ogallalla, Nebraska, and raged uutil yesterday morning, filling tbe cuts on tbe railroad with suo. All trains were laid up at convenient points for safety. A beavy snow storm set in at Chey enne, W. T., on the 8th inst., continu ing until noon on Saturday, the wind attaining a velocity from fifty to sixty four miles per hour, carrying snow with it, and drifting it in bauks ten to fifteen feet high. All trains on the Union Pacific, Denver Pacific and Col orado Ceutral are either side tiacked or snowed in, and there is no commun ication north, whither n.any freight outfits are now traveling, and the loss of stock will be great. Tbe storm did not reach Central Pennsylvania until oc the night of tbe 11th, aud then it was so modified tbat it consisted of rain ouly, with an occa sional sprinkle of bail. A Conscientious Ulan. Mr. Barron, the bank cashier who preferred to die rather than reveal to three robbers tbe secret of tbe combin ation lock, was as conscientious as he was beroie. io the safe has been found a life insurance, policy of $5,000, witb a letter stating tbat if any errors should be found in the accounts of the bank after bis death, tbat sum, or so much of it as might be needful, should be us ed in making good tbe deficiency. He was unwilling to have bis memory tar nished by any accusation, however triv ial or ill-founded, after be bad closed tbe account current of his dealings on earth. DISPATCHES . Nashville, Tenn., March &-A special dispatch to tbe American says : "Winston Anderson, who assaulted a little girl near Clarksville, waa lynched oa Friday night. A large body of aror ed men surrounded tbe jail, forced tbe jailer to give up tbe keys, and took Anderson out. Late on Saturday morn lug bis body was found buug to a tree about a wile and balf from town." New Haven, March 5 A core ner'sjury yesterday, sitting on tbe body of a three-year old child of Ed ward McUreevy, rendered a verdict that death was tbe result of meningitis from brutal beating by the father. McUreevy has been arrested. Before tbe jury tbe mother of tbe child who bad made the complaint, testified tbat ber husband whipped the boy mer etlcNsly four weeks ago witb a short, thick stick, and whipped it every night for no good reason. A week ago Sun day night he wanted the boy to walk from the bed to tbe window and back. The little fellow was not able to, and the father threw him violently on tbe bed, the child's bead striking bard gainst tbe wall. A week ago Mocday be whipped the boy again. Previous to this on one occasion the father knock ed tbe child violently on the side of the head with his hand. After tbat pun ishment Monday tbe ehild was taken witb vomiting which lasted until last Friday, when be became unconcious, so remaining until death supervened Sat urday nipbt Much indignation is manifested, and tbe penalty of tbe crime will probably be severe. Danville, Pa , March 5. Charles Dansberger, of this place, was arrested to-day for setting Gre to bis large tbree- story brick building, corner of Mill and Centre streets. The first floor was occupied by Charles Limberger aa a barnass shop. The second floor was formerly used as a residence and tbe thiid floor was occupied by Calumet Lodge, Independent Order of Odd fel lows. Dansbereer trained access to the lodge room and bored boles in the joists, poured kerosene into the boles, and after turning on a full bead of gas, placed lighted eaodle ia the middle of the room with tbe expectation tbat when the room was full of gas tbe light ed eandle would cause an explosion and set the building on fire. Fortunately the strong smell of gas attracted tbe at tention af outside parties, and upon as certaining the cause the gas was cut off before an explosion occurred. There was an insurance of six thousand doll ars ou tbe building and this is the third attempt Dansberger bas made to se cure it. He succeeded in escaping from the officers while looking for bail, and to tbe present time has eluded all attempts to secure him. Buffalo, March 8. The difficulty in connection with the kecpersbip of the Erio county, penitentiary, which bas created a great amount of political excitement since February, culminated to-day by Samuel N. Baker, tbe lte publioau nominee, taking forcible pos session about two o'clock this after noon A battering ram was improvised outside and tbe door forced. Baker then entered and demanded the papers, etc. Revolvers were presented, but not used. Weston, the incumbent, and his followers were then forcibly ejected and in the 'scrimmage" two of West on's followers were badly bruised aud somewhat cut. Pottstown, Pa., March 8. James Flaunery, tbe defaulting clerk of the Pottstown Iron Company, and llicbard L. P. Ueifsnyder, late editor of the Pottstown Advertiser, both pleaded guilty to-day to tbe charge of stealing five thousand, dollars from the iron company. Cleveland, March 7. A fire at Spartansburg, Pa., this morning de stroyed every business bouse in the place, including tbe Masonic Lodge Hall Post Office and depot. Tbe loss is estimated at 50,000 : insurance $25.- 000. Tbe fire is supposed to bave been the work of an incendiary. Late ad vices say that the loss will reach $100, 000 ; insurance probably $50,000. Suspicion of incendiarism rests strong ly upon W. M Jacobs, in whose store the fire originated, and who has sought the protection of the authorities to avoid threatened lynching. Not a store or business bouse of any kind is left, and about twenty families are homeless. STATE ITEMS. A fine of $10 was paid in pennies by a Lebanon man. The Pennsylvania railroad has 20,000 men employed in this State. The oldest and leading Building As sociation of Lew is burg bas gone to smash, with a deficit ol from $30,000 to 50,000. There bave been fourteen business failures in Williamsport within tbe past few weeks. James Spence, of Elkhorn, Arm strong county, married bis stepmother, bis father having died several years ago. Young Spence is now the father of sev eral of bis brothers. Easton burns coal oil in her street lamps, and ingenious thieves steal the oil, replacing it witb water. William Hockersmitb, of Sbippens burg, was kicked on tbe nose by a colt a couple of weeks ago. On Thursday a week lockjaw set in and tbe boy died on Wednesday. They never think of nominating a man for office in Monroe county. All tbe Democrats come out and run for something or another and the best man wins. The rebuilding of the burned en. gines of tbe Pennsylvania Railroad Company is almost completed. The work is being dene in tbe shops at Al toona. Tbe barn and other outbuildings of Emanuel Duck, of Middlecreek twp-, Synder eo., were consumed by fire on Sunday morning tbe 17th nit. It is supposed the fire is tbe work of an in cendiary, as tbe family of Mr. Duck found a sack of flour stowed away in tbe barn on Saturday, which they re moved and in its stead placed a bag filled witb stones and chaff. This bag was found some distance from the burned building tbe morning after tbe fire. There was a small insurance. Tbe first woman who ever Jrove a mail coach ia Franklin county, if not in the State or United States, left Chambersburg for Gettysburg last week. Her name is Mrs. S. A. Houser and she is tbe wife of tbe proprietor of the Gettysburg mail route. She was regularly sworn in by Squire Jeffries, and the Herald predicts a safe and quick return.

Tbe Methodist Episcopal Missionary Sooiety is indebted to the extent of nearly $200,000. Meanwhile tbe treasury is empty. A debt of $3,000 still remains on the Catholio Total Abstinence foun tain, io Fairmount Park. America bas 43,862 clergymen, or one to every 718 of the population. The United States boasts of 70,000 Sabbath schools, with 6,000,000 scholars. When tbe late Bishop of Oxford was traveling eastward to attend tbe Church Congress at Norwich, a lady sitting op posite to biui commented in flattering terms on the eloqueuce and ability of the graat Anglicau divine, qu te uncon scious that she was addressing bim. "But why, sir," she added, "do peo ple call him Soapy Sam1 "Well, madam, replied the Bishop, "I sup pose it is because be bas always been in a good deal of hot water, and always manages to Come out with clean hands." At Hamilton Square, near Trenton, N. J., on Sun lay, a woman arose in tbe Baptist church while tbe pastor was preaching, denounced him as a liar, and added that be bad better practice what be preached. She attempted to repeat tbe demonstration, and waa not per permitted to enter the church, but ber husband says he will take her there next Sunday. Seven hundred and fifty-three cler gymen iu Massachusetts have petition ed for the repeal cf the License law and tbe enactment of a Prohibitory law. Fifteen hundred clergymen of tbe Church of England bave signed a pro test against a war witb Russia, while two thousand London preachers preach ed io favor of war on a reoent Sunday. FOREIGN.

An Athens dispatch says General Grant arrived at the Piraeus the 8th, escorted by three iron-clads, and after ward vi-ited the King. The St Petersburg Official Journal says the peace conditions published are premature. The documents signed by tbe Grand Duke Nicholas and S.ifvot Fash '. have not yet reached the Russ ian foreign Ministers. JEWS ITEMS. Mrs. Abraham Lincoln is living in France. The famine in British India bas cost the Government $16,250,000. The Governor's salary in Mississippi bas been fixed at $1000. Chicago spends sixteen million dol lars a year for intoxicating drinks. Tbe communists in tbe State of Hid algo are giving Mexico much trouble. can Francisco municipal affairs are at a deadlock for want of funds. In England tbe average length of life of Quakers is remarkably high, tbe greatest number of deaths occunog be tween tO and 8U years of age. A law bas just been passed in France which provides that "every person who may be condemed twice by the police for the crinjA of open drunkenness will be held incapable of voting, of eligibil ity, and of being named for the jury of any pub io office." Collector Cooper telegraphed from Knoxville, Tenn., tbat bis raiding par ty bad returned from Johnson county. They seized four distilleries, one horse, lot of whisky, made arrests, destroyed five eopper stills and a large quantity of mash and beer. Tbe funeral of tbo late ex Senator Wade, at Jefferson Ohio, on the 5tb was largely attended.

Another son, aged two, was so badly wounded that be can not survive. Horses are cheap id Texas. Pretty fair horses, adapted to tbe saddle or wagon, but unbroken, can be bad for $12. Tbe finest Spanish pony, wild as a gazelle, and eosting $5 to break, sails fur $10; and as no corn or fodder is necessary to keep a horse in Texas, the succulent grass of tbe prairies being to bim more delicious than anything that can be fed to bim, tbe consequence is everybody rides, and tbe unfortunate individual who can't sport and own a horse is to be pitied. Ten years ago Mrs. Nicholas Weiss died at rort W ayne, lud., and was burned near tbe city. one was a portly woman, weighing abont two hundred pounds.

Strat ton, who bas been quite low with con sumption for some time died ou Tues day, and the funeral cermonies were accordingly held together on Saturday, February 23d. RoitKHi Dances KImHoc; Game. A writer in tbe Woman's Journal takes up a cudgels on behalf of dano- ing, and impliedly of tbe waliz, on tbe ground that as it penetrates the ruder districts of New Logland tbe boister ous and vulgar social games of tbe ru ral "settlements" disappear. If thear is no daneing, there are "stringgames," and, whatever these things may be, they are said to require the kissing of all the women in company each by a large majority of men. This rude and indelicate familarity, the Jonrnal says flourishes "under the very eyes of our revivalist, iu tbe church sociables themselves were Ibe most innocent square dance wonld be severely ceosur ed. In a late murder trial in Vermont a certain guilty deacon admitted that be first made tbe acquaintance of his paramour at a 'church social' at bis own bouse. While old and young were playing an old- fashioned game, tbe deacon, as a forfeit, was sentenced to kics Mrs. . Like Fracesca Rimini, be lays all bis troubles to tbat kiss. Since bis arrest he bis stated that up to this time he bad been true in thought as well as in deed to bis wife. The naivete of this confession seems almost absurd: but did ever a sinuer indicted for murder trace all bis errors back to the demoralizing influ ence of a single dance? Left to them selves at school festivals, tbe young people wonld like to dance. Tbe dancing being held objectionable, some, thing else must be introduced; and, on tbe proposition of 'string-games,' one may see church members, deacons, aud for aught 1 kuow, clergymen themselves joining in tbe rude sport. I bave known it a serious ground of objection to public schools, on the part of well bred parents, that they would not con sent to bave their young daughters rudely kissed by balf tbe town on such occasions; and 1 bave seen such pre judices gradually removed by the sub stitution of dancing." Something is said also of a mirsion ary lady, who, to save ber children from the influence of boisterous kissing gan"ies,et up a dancing school in tbe wilds of Maine and proselyted a whole piece of woods. A Russian patriarch. From the New York World. There is some pleasure in announcing tbat Feodore Vassilef, of Moscow, has bad eighty-seven children by two wives if it is only because the aunouncement renders any further inventions by fe cund American paragrapbers certain to be looked upon as very weak inven tions indeed. Vassilef s first wife was brought to bed twenty-seven times, having twins sixteen times and triplets seven times, while at the otber four births sixteen children were bom to her. She then died, and ber successor, at eight births, enabled eighteen otber children to rise up and call Feodore Vassilef blessed, because he bad sever al quivers full of them. M. Kanikoff, a Russian savant, vouched for this fact a few years ago, declaring thai the Vas silefs bow many of the eighty- seven children survived was not stated still lived at Moscow, and were pensioners of the government. The first Mme. Vassilef could have organized a very respectable baby show of ber own with out being compelled to take in (in either sense of the word) any other mothers, and what a family tbat would bave been to provide for. A Bonanza Klnr at Work. Mr. J. W. Mackey is reported to have lost thirty pounds from bis weight in exploring latelyf the hot drifts of bis mines. Hit riches give bim al most as much bard work as luxury. He came up to the surface out of tbe Ophir mine, the ether day, exhausted, dirty, panting, with sunken eyes and reddened face. "Look at me,'' be said to bis friends. "Do I look like a bonaaza slave, was the response. A few days ago a man named Wil liam McClintock, living about 'ten miles up Muncy creek, killed a mon strous wild eat while out fox hunting. Tbe animal ran within a few feet of him before be discovered it, when be sent a ball into its carcass which failed to bring it down. With the assistance of a dog, tbe animal was soon brought to a bait, a short distance ahead of the hunters. Just aa Mr. McClintock fired the fatal shot, the animal sprang to wards him several feet and fell dead. Some idea of its size can be formed from tbe fact tbat after McClintock (wbo is abont six feet bigb) tied its hind legs together and bung it on the gun over hit shoulder, itt front paws dragged in tbe snow behind bim. He hat bad tbe tkin stuffed, and takes delight in exhibiting it to his friends. Legal Notices. ntiUi V. S. Internal-Revenae Special Taxes.
