The Dumber of Judges in this Com monwealth Las been doubled in eight years; iu 1871 they numbered 50, now they number 101. The Democrats in favor of passing the Chinese bill over the President's veto, were sis to one ; the Republi cans were four to one. The Demtxracy in this State, at this early day are warm on the Pres idential question for 1880. The Ran dall men are working hard for Tilden and the barrel, while Wallace is hard at work for Thtirman. Brooeltn- Pkesbttebt has put Rev. T. Dewitt Tannage on trial, and the Rev. T. Dewitt Tallage has put Brooklyn Presbytery on uial, the be ginning of which will be on tte 2lih instant. Most of the religious bodies that have met since the adjournment of Congress, have been emphatic in ex pression against the late Congress for having transacted business on the List Sibbath of its existence. A Republican mass meeting at San Francisco on Tuesday evening a week, credited President Hayes with honesty of purpose iu vetoing tbe t'btuese bill, but maintained that bis action did not represent Republican feeling in Cali fornia. A grand exclusion to California is proposed for tbe occasion of General Grant's landing from bis foreign tour, next August. Tba excursionists will act as an escort for the ex-President. It is believed that at least seventy 6ve thousand people will attend the excur sion. "Waxteo A speech, from some member of the Legislature, that will clearly set forth under what principle j the lndustrinl ntiil business interests of the State should pay for the work of rioters, such as the burning of property, the stealing of property, and the destruction of life. Cosgkess convened on Tuesday yesterday and as it is the first Dem ocratic Congress that has convened in many years, there need be no won der if it d'es not adjourn till the re;Iar session begins next Deeeni ler. This session is the opening of the) campaign of lb80, on the part of the Democracy. 44 At a meeting of Baptist minis tors in San Francisco, on the 11th inst, a resolution was unanimously adopted to strike from the roll of .1 T-a XX Xa' ministers tne name oi ivev. a. . R'el, for misrenresenting in New York cilv the sentiments of Chris tian people on the Pacific coast con cerning the Chinese question." Tke j 'ortk American says: "Poor Glover ! lie worked two years and never got at any fraud without yank ing a Democrat first. Now the House has adjourned without even giving him leave to print, much less make a report to be acted upon. But the party will breathe easier now that he is gone." m mm WilAT a dear nice old gentleman Mr. Tilden is. He doesn't know anything about the cipher dispatches, or things of that sort, that interested binj as a candidate for tbe Presidency ; but be knew all about the set np jV.b to make Mr. Raudall speaker of Congress. La ! bow little tbe old gentleman knows about the greater affairs, and bow much be knows about tbe smaller things. mm As a cliantable act, the State might pay the $ 1,000.001) riot damage bill, but the precedent it would make, would be worse than paving the $, ()0i).000. There is no legal liability ou the part of the State, and moral liability or obligation of the State to pay the work of rioters or insurrec tiouists is too watery an excuse to give the bteal much weight The Lower House of Legislature bad a lively time over tbe reduction of sal aries, last Wednesday, and in tbe dis cussiuu that took place tbey got the newspapers mixed np wi'b the question, and a number ot virtuous and valotious members shook their fists, and raised their voices tn a cracked pitch in defi ance of the newspapers. The news papers will tell how they voted on cer tain questions, after the adjournment of Legislature. T a meeting of the stockholders of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, beld in Philadelphia last week, an ao Mcunt of a real estate transaction in Luzerne county iu 1372 was read. The account of the transaction, in tubstaace, states that in a certain tract of land in Luzerne county lay a vein of 7.000.000 tons of stone coal. Tbe land was for sale, and tbe reported ex ji-tetice of coal attracted the atteniion of a certain part of the management of the Pennsylvania ltauroad Company, and tiiey authorized that the land be bought for the Company. Forty thou sand aoKars was paid to tbe owner for tbe land. Tbe Company was charged $53,000 for the tract, and the $53,000 difference was divided among certain members of tbe Company. The land iuay be cheap at $93,000 for future operands, but tbe stockholders who were not interested in the purchase and got none of the $53,000 divide, are exercised because tbe land was not turned in at tbe price at which it was bought, namely, $10,000. The Democracy always manage to bate their men op la the front on great occasion, as for iusiance, when trie PresiuVu't call was Usued for an extra session of Congress, J aim Wbitaitcr Democratic CoDgreadiUAO from Oregon was telegraphed to come immediately to Washington.

Lt Hung.irv, Austria, along the river T Ileitis, there is a town named Szegadm. The town, or the greater part of it is built on a piece of ground that is lower than the river. Last week a gret rise in the water of the stream broke the banks and left the flood into the town. Hundreds of people were drowned, and many houses were swept away ; as many as 80,000 people are 'id to be homeless. The calamity reached 6nch propor tions thut the Enitieror, Francis Jo seph, who had assayed to celebrate his silver wedding last week, abstain ed from the celebration and distribu ted the money that was intended for the festivities, among the sufferers by the Hood. "Live and Learn." People ."11 get through living, but they never get through learning, wliie they live. A nan may know a good deal about the hoi e, and about horse dealers and stiU noi have met the kind of horse dealei CT swin dlers, as the one whose op'erafions are descriled in the following ai"tic.?. from McClure's Time of March lli-h: Behind F.no;-hs' Variety Theatre, and approachable only through Scipio place, the wagon-way adjoining the theatre on the south, is a blind alley only wide enough for two wagons, side by side. In this narrow avenue are three or four dilapidated brick stables, the wood-work of which in dicates considerable antiquity. The southernmost of these is, if all re ports be true, the headquarters of as acute and active a gang of horse sharpers as ever practiced upon the unsophisticated countryman. The names of this coterie, acccording to the best information obtainable bv the police, are Thomas Clare, Samuel Ogburn, Yilliani G. Collins, Henry West, Weslev Allen, Charles Lewis and W. T. Kelley. Their working capital, so to speak, has consisted of a solitary, tolerably well-built horse, and yet with this, if the testimony of one of their own employes," unwittingly sHken a few days ago, is to le believed, V."j have already realized over 2,000, and still have the nag on hand for fresh con quests. The real head of the combi nation is not known. A firm doing business on Arch street, whose yard opens upon the narrow way in which the stabies are located, says that the sharpers sometimes hid in their yard while one of the gang was negotiating with greenhorns. The firm were compelled, by the annoyance to which they were subjected, to forbid the men coming into the yard. Several instances are given where country men have been imposed npon. The Arch street gentlemen turned their business horse loose for exer cise in the enclosure about a week ago. They noticed soon after a bucolic-looking personage scrutinizing and that several of the " horse jock eys" were in the adjacent street. They merely interpreted the turn's actions as the result of inquisiiive ness and did not suspect Lis real pur pose. They were surprised to hoar on the day following that the horse had actually been sold to the rural person for 5? 130, and that he had been green enough to pay at least one fourth of the purchase money down and had given a note for the balance, which he was to clear off the next day. Naturally enougli, when he re turned the men were missing and a strange face was visible in the stable. The countryman went home lighter in pocket and without the horse. In " gvp game " transactions be tween the dealers in horse-flesh and the unsophisticated the latter gener ally pay down from 35 to $50 on account and give a note for the bal ance, taking a receipt for the money paid. By an ingenious and obscure ly worded condition in the note the purchaser forfeits the horse and what he has already paid on account unless he pays by a certain time on the fol lowing day the balance called for the note. "When a bargain is effected the one who sold the horse contrives to be absent the day when the buyer calls ; conseqnent.lv, tuere is nobody there to receive the money and the purchaser forfeits his deposit Another trick in the pack is played in this way : While a stranger is look ing at the horse and the owner's at tention is temporarily attracted away, another man, well dressed and gen teel looking, enters the stable. He addresses the intending purchaser as though accosting the owner, and gen erally offers a sum $10 or f lo over what the real owner has asked. If the owner happens to be present, stranger No. 2 teils No. 1, aside, "Now I want that horse, but he won't sell it to me because I am a dealer. Now you buy him ; pay him so much down ; give your note for the balance, and fetch him to me. Ill wait down here at the foot of the alley and pay you for him. If he won't take your note pay him the cash, end 111 eive you $10 or $15 for your trouble." No. 2 leaves ; No. 1 bites at the bait, makes the purchase, and finds when he seeks the "anxious one" that the latter has vanished completely. The npshot of the matter is that the man who is stuck prefers to abandon a good deal of his purchase-money to the dder in order to ret released from a bad bargain. Such cases frequently get into! court, but the complainants general ly lose their cases. In one instance lecenty, where Magistrate Pole hal committed a member of t je gang for trial, the Judge, in refusing to hear the case, said that the man who was bitten had rendered himself liable to prosecution for conspiracy. Another case, involving Beveral men, was com promised npon reached court by the payment of the prosecutor's claim and expenses. The last "angel" that the S:-ipio place gang encountered was John A. Bozirth, of Camden, N. J. He bought a horse for $135 last Friday, paid $.0 down, gave his note for the balance, returned for the steed and found himself duped. Then he sued out s warrant before Magis trate Pole, charging that Clare, Og burn, Collins, West, Allen, Lewis and Kelley had conspired to cheat and de fraud him. They were arrested and put under $600 bail each for a fur ther hearing on Thursday next mm m- mi From tbe Scientific Ameiican. It is not long since several cases of arsenical poisoning were traced to tbe wearing of scarlet and blue stockings. Next came a somewhat remarkable case in which tbe mischief was traced to a highly-colored bat lining. More recent English and German papers, medical and other, have called attention to dan gerous e'oves. Iu tbe London Times x writer describes tbe poisonous effect ot a pair of the fashionable "brouze green" silk gloves when worn by a member of bis family. After wearing them a day or two the patient was attacked with a peculiar blistering and swelling of both bands, which increased to such an ex tent that for three weeks she was com pelled to carry ber bands in a fating. suffering acute pain, and being, vl course, nnable either to feel or dress herself. Inquiries among tbe writer's friends discovered three other ladies similarly afflicted. A German medical journal reports a case of serious poi soning by a pair of navy blue kids. Dress goods sf woolen, silk and cotton have been found to contain arsecic in dangerous quantities : so, also, gentle men's nuderclotbing, socks, bat linings, and tbe linings of boots and shoes. Prof. Nichols, of the Massachusetts In stitute of technology, reports the ex amination of a lady's dress which con tained eight grains of arsenin to tbe square foot. In Troy, N. Y., lately, tbe death of a child was attributed to arsenio sucked from a veil which bad Keen thrown over tbe child's crib to keep the flies.. At this rate it will soon b-'coi-ie necessary to test for ar senic all ooJ.' purchased before ven turing to wei;r iC'tOt ot else the label "Warranted to certain co poisonous dje." - The following special Jispateh. to the Philadelphia Press explain itself : Allentow.n, March 12. AboCt ten o'clock last night Mr. Paul Ro'J:, liv.'og iu Ceaarville, a small village abiUt o miles from this place, came borne, and he aud bis family were about retiring' when Mr. lloth heard a noise in bis pig stable, tbe noise at the same time wak ing Mr. Charles Blank, who lives in tbe same bouse with Mr. Roth. Hav ing lately purchased some pigs, Mr. Roth was afraid something was tbe mat ter with tbein. He listened awhile, and told bis wife to watch while he went out. Arriving at the stable he saw a man iu it, who at once took to his heels, ruoning as fast as be could, body pursued by Mr. Roth, who soon overtook him and collared him. In the meantime Mr. Blank came out with a double-barreled sbot gun. Just at this time another man named John Whey, living in this city, who was subsequent ly killed, came to tbe aid of the man whom Mr. Roth bad down, and pointed a large navy revolver at bis breast and threatened to (hoot if be did not at once release tbe other man. Upon this urgent request Mr. Roth let the man go, wbe it once ran off and bas Dot been seen since,, Mr. Blank now came to tbe aid of Roth and discharged one barrel of tbe gun in the air, with tbe intention of scaring the thieves away. Whey, finding that be was getting into a tight place, fired at Ruth and Blank, but, fortunately, his aim missed. Roth now called out to Blank, "Let him have it," wberenpon Blank fired. Tbe shot, as was afterwards found out, entered Whey's face. Roth and Blank then went to tbe bouse, their ammunition having been exhausted, and not know- me how many men ;y naa to deal with. Whey was seen .bout the farm all night wandering about aimlessly, sometimes approaching tbe bouse and barn. He was seen to stagger, but thinking it merely as a blind to get the men out again, and as it was not known how many of them were outside, tbey concluded to remain in the bouse. To wards daybreak Rotb and Blank ven tured out, and near the Methodist church, adjoining M r. Roth's lot, found several bags full of live chickens which belonged to Mr. Blank. Shortly after daybreak Wbey was found, being in an unconscious state at the side of the gar den fence, resting bis bead on bis arm. His face was badly torn by shot, and it was evident that be could live but a short time. His eyesight was destroy ed, and be was carried to the barn, where be died shortly after. Coroner Trnxell was summoned, and impaneled a jury of inquest, who rendered the following verdict : Tbe canse of death was a gunshot wonnd inflicted at the hands of Charles Blank while protect ing bis property, and we, tbe jury, ex onerate tbe said Charles Blank from blame in the case, he acting in self-defense." Whey is abont 45 years old, and was a bad character, bavin? served several terms in the county jail. His wife is at the poorbouse, and bad for years been an inmate there. Tbe body of W Ley bas been removed to tbe poor bouse, and was there interred this after noon. STATE ITEMS. Tbe State Sunday School Contention will meet at Altoona in June.
