The Ilarrisburg Telegraph writes: Famine in Lurope, instead of decreas ing, is steadily on the iucrease. In Great Britain there is far more suffer iiig than tue newspapers published in Kuglaud and Ireland care to relate.

The following telegram was dis patched from Ilarrisburg on Saturday and rxplains itself: Superintendent Wickersbau is now preparing and will next week issue warrants to school dis tricts in tbe State covering tbe year ended June, 1870, fT one million dol lars, tbe amount due them from tbe S"ae for that period. According to tbe SuperiudeuJ-nt's estimate the Com lunnvrealth owes the schools about $2, PM.0iK).

Tha Situation in Mains. Order-loving, and law-abiding peo ple hoped that when the Legislature of M: jne cinie to be organized, which should have been done List Wednes day, that Garcelon, the Democratic Governor, would not persist in his course of usurpation, but that he would heed the opinion of the Su premo Conrt of the State, and re-call the certificates of election that he and hi council had issued to as many Democrats and fusionists as they thought necessary to count in a Dem ocratic Governor. But in that hope the country has been disappointed. He spurned the opinion of the Su preme Court, and convened his Leg islature on Wednesday, on his own plan, which was directly opposed to the way pointed out by the Su preme Court, and the majority of the people ; but the result was any thing but satisfactory to the usurp er. A number of members that had been counted in, were too Ligh toned to le the instrument of fraud, and would not act with the Governor. The usurper and his friends tried to break the force or in fluence of tlie men who refused to work with the Governor in his scheme of revolution, by declaring that they had been bought over by the Repub licans ; but that dodge failed. They then declared that two other fusion ists had been offered $1,000 each by a Republican lawyer White by name to come over to the KepuLlican side. Mr. White, as the Indian says, 'has put on the paint," and will show that these charges are black charges. During the confusion that ensued the great body of tbe Republicans kept away from tbe State House, aud the Democrats and fuJtonists bad not tbe necessary number to organize and count in tbeir Governor. Garcelon's usurpa tion still did not work satisfactorily, and when tin time came for tbe new Governor to take hi seat, the new Gov ernor had not been named by tbe Leg islature, and tbe Sta'e was without a Chief Executive. By virtue of the Constitution of Maine when tbe office of Governor becomes vacant the Presi dent of the Senate becomes Governor. However, iu this case when Garcelon retired from the rfiee, on Wednesday, be banded the Government of State over to General Chamberlain, command er of the military forces of the Com monwealth. Tbe General heM tbe Slate House, aud Democrats and fu sionists, w?re a! sea from Wednesday to Saturday, doing tbeir best to organize and carry out tbe programme of tbe usurper Gareeloo. Uu Sunday the President of the Sen ate James D. La Bison expressed a willingness to exercise the office of Goveruor, as provided by the Constitu tion of the State for cases of vacancy in the gubernatorial chair. On Monday evening at C o'clock, when the fusionists were ont, the Re publican Senators and Republican Rep resectativt s went to tie State House, tock their seats, and proceeded to or ganize tbe Legislature. The President of tbe Senate called on General Cham berlain to ne tbe military to pat out such people as crowded into tbe cham ber, but he replied that bis duty is simply to preserve tbe peace aud take care of tbe public pioperty. Both bouses appoiuted committees to aslt tbe opinion of the Supreme Court touching the legality ot the Legislature as just organized. Relative to tiie famine in Germany a dispatch from the capital of that country, under di.te of last Friilay, the 9th inst., says: In the lower house of the Prussian Diet the Min ister of Finance in asking a -vote for the relief of the sufferers by the fua ine in Upper Silesia, announced that the government also contemplated the construction of two branch rail way lines in Silesia, which would re quire a grant of twelve and a-half million marks. He said that 106,000 persons at present needed relief, and that provision for these had been made np to the end of the month. The government, he said, hoped to effect lasting improvements by ex tensive drainage works and the pro motion of local industries. How is this as an opinion from one of the Judges of the Supreme Conrt of irgiiua: Judge 1 l uncus J..

It was the perfidy the moral tiiint which she felt attached to him, and which would likely exclude hiia from the best society of the State." But a majority of the Court disagreed with Judge An.lerson.

Last night Joseph Bernard, a deaf and d.imb young man, aged about 21 years, came into a police station, and by his actions manifested a strong desire to impart some information of a very important character. After watching his gestures for a time, and conversing with him in that manner as near as could le understood, it was learned that he wished to say some thing to the following effect : He had just returned from Park City or vi cinity, and on Sunday night three men had broken into the house of a person who was sleeping. Admission bad been gained by removing a latch lock. Two of the men were masked, while the third had a heavy beard on his face The inmate of the house had been sleeping, but must have awakened and arisen, as one of the masked men stabbed him with a long knife and then cut him across the ab domen, lengthwise, and from the de scription the cut must have been a terrible one. The robler with the beard was then shot iu the knee, while the party stabbed sank into a chair and died. One of the robbers forced open a desk and took there from a large roll of money, amount ing, according to Bernard's own fig ures, to some 13,1)00. The robbers then made their escape. From his description, they had their clothes torn badly, and he showed the man ner in which the apparel of each was broken, liie leg of tne one sliot in the knee had swollen a great deal, and all three were making for this city a3 rapidly as possible on foot. He showed by the watch they might be here early this morning, and he wanted them arrested. He evinced a genuine appreciation of the wants of the three, as he drew tiie picture of a gallows on the slate and significant ly put his fingers to his throat, rolled up his eyes and went through a re mai kably natural choking scene, while he indicated by three of his fingers that the hanging bee would not le complete without tliree persons. He was very earnest, and some are in clined to believe there is some found ation in the story. Ho rejieated the pantomime several times, and each time it was strikingly the same as the others. The Soldiers' Orphan Schools. Recently, the question as to how the supply of pupils to the S ldiers' Or phan Schools is kept up, bas been raised by the -newspapers. Superintendent Wickcrsham makes auswer to the ques tion io tbe Philadelphia Times ot last Saturday, as follows : To correct the wrong impression like ly to be made by a paragraph, copied from tbe Bulletin, in that f to-day, in relation to tbe number of children still remaining in our soldiers' orphan schols, permit me to say : First. That the original legislation on this subj-ct provided only for the education aud maintenance at the ex pense of the State of the destitute chil dren of soldieis wbo were killed or lost tbeir lives whiie iu the army during tbe war of the rebellion. Second. That subsequent acts of tbe Legislature extended the same provi sion to the destitute children cf sol diers wbo have died since the clcse of the war of wounds or disease contracted 'herein, and to those of soldiers still living but so disabled on tccount of wuunds or disease contracted in tbe service as to be unable to earu a liveli hood for their families or theniselvas. Third. That of tbe 2.G0O children of soldiers now in school, under the care of tbe State, at least ihree-fourtbs are orphans the remainder being tbe children of men wbo have lost a leg or an arm or are otherwise badly crippled or suffering from serious disease clearly traceable to their service in the army. Fourth. That these has been no "perversion of the original purpose" in regard to these children, but simply an extension of that purpose to another class of children equally deserving as those ho first enjoyed tbe State s bee elactijn.

In Louisiana you can see robins tumbling around as if they were drunk. That's what the negroes say about them, and a Louisiana hunter says he used to catch them in great numbers when he was a boy, growing up under the impression that they were drunk, bnt when he was grown he learned better, in this way : -I dis covered one on the ground, seeming ly drunk, though he could fly, but not very far. I caught him, and, upon examination, found his crop very much distended with China berries. He kept his mouth wide open, but made little n;ise, though he evidently tried to. TLe berries could be sen in the throst. I press ed two or three cf them up and pull ed them cut, and in a few minutes he whs iluttering and whittling, and, when liberate.!, flew away as rapidly as if nothing had ever been the mat ter with him. These berries fall off late in lLo winter ; the moisture of the ground puffs them up so that they lecome as round and fa'l as cherries, nnd walking on them causes a continued popping, not very loud, bnt distinct The robins swallow the hen ies in Bitch quantities as to fill the crop so full that, either from the peculiar formation of the berry or their swelling with the moisture and and warmth, they press against the windpipe and produce partial stangu lation and not intoxication." So the robins are not really drunk. GE.1ER.4L ITEMS. It is an offence again.t Michigan law to destroy muskrat bouses. Bruised horse radish oo the wrist la said to cure neuralgia.
