A Tough fStory. We find a tough story going the round of the papers as 'a statement of facts' of an old lady, 81 years ofage, who recently died at Law re nee vi He from a tumor in the abdomen. A post mortem ex anination was made, after sawing through a hard oval shaped substance taken from the body, it was found to contain a fully developed female child! Trie old lady was remembered to have been con sidered cncicnle about forty years since, and all the, preliminary preparations were made for the reception of the little stranger, but it never made its. appearance until brought to light by the recent disclosures of the doctors. It is moreover stated on the authority of a highly respectable physician that the child bore signs of at leat a probable re cent living existence. .. R.

A despatch from Kanesvill.e '.Mo. states that a tremendous confla gration has occurred in that region, caused by the Omaha Indians, who, set on fire the dry grass on the prairie. Tlie wind was very high at the time, andjtbe flames spread with such rapidty that a great many of the fences, outstanding crops, and some builings, for miles around, were envolved in one sheet of fire. The Indians, just previous to the conflagration, were discovered in the act of setting fire to the prairie in a number of places. THe'Omahas inhabits a portion of the Missouri ter ritory, some sixty miles above Fort Leavenworth.

Tribune gives the ' following particulars in relation to different de partments of that journal : 1 4 The Tribune is now in its tenth vear. ,It was, J stalled originally by Mr. Greeley, as a penny paper," and was for some months conducted by him alone, except the commercial department. It now gives men, four engineers, and other persons in the press room, four permanent correspondents in Europe, three regular correspondents at Washington, two in Canada, two in California, one in Mexico, one in Havana, one in central America, one in Phil adelphia, one in Boston, one in Baltimore, &c., &c, four wrapper writers, four clerks, sixteen hands in the mailing department, three errand boys, twenty-eight carriers in the city and vicini ty, in all, above 130 persons. The issues of the Tribune are in round numbers 18,600 daily, 41, 400 weekly 1,700 semi-weekly, 3,300 for Califor nia, 500 for Europe, making in all 160,200 sheets weekly, and 8,330,400 annually. Taking the ra tio of increase since April last, as a basis, the cir culation of the Tribune in April 1851 will be a bout 35,000 daily, 45,000 weekly, and the aggre gate annual circulation will be 10,000,000 copies. The paper employs about one ton and a half of type, and consumes weekly, seven and a half tons oi paper, 3oU pounus otinK. me pruning ia uuue on one of Hoe's four cylinder presses, which is driven, by a ten horse power steam engine.

A writer in the Express, in justification of Bar num's adhering to the present prices of tickets, states the expenses of the concerts as follows : He pays Jenny $1000 per night, at all events, and this before a division of the profit ; the Hall he pays S300 per night for ; to Benedict $25,000 yer year ; to $3,27 all the expenses of travel of every kind of a great suit of persons, consisting of servants, secretaries, &c; salaries of servants ; an immense outlay for numerous orchestra ; officers, &c. and other attendant expenses, which cannot be particularized, and which will swell the night ly expenses to over $3000, and at some concerts to $4000. Now deducting the tickets, for the press, there are about $3,2000 seats in Tripler Hall, At $1, if every seat was filled, Barnum would sink money nightly. Who are the Galphiii's Now ? It appears from the Report of the Select Cdm mittee of the House of Representatives, upon the Public Printing frauds, that Father Ritchie, who expressed so much holy horror, at the payment of the Galphin claim, and indulged in such length ened homilies upon the enormity of allowing it, has had his hand into the public Treasury clear up to the shoulder. By making out false bills, us ing a poorer quality of paper than that contracted fort and other means, he has defrauded the Gov ernment out of at least ONE HUNDRED THOU SAND DOLLARS, and not satisfied with this, has attempted to get extra compensation, before finishing his contracts. Father Ritchie became the public Printer, by a system of meanness and fraud, perfectly cbntemti ble in a man making any pretensions to moral hon esty ; and if he had suffered some would Have been entitled to no sympathy whatever. But a man who has the finesse to get $37500. for what, by his contract, he was only entitled to $657, is a sufficient adept in the art of Tascality, to make money out of anything ; and Father Ritchie has done this. By another operation making a dif ference of $1 45 on each ream of paper used he has made a fraudulent gain of $30,000. This, however, he defends with the plea that it is custo mary i but he does not say whether he justifies picking pockets and robbing hen roots, which are by far the most ancient customs of getting money dishonestly, on the same grounds ! Who are the Galphin s now I DTP An exchange under the head of "Sporting Intelligence,' tells of a tea drinking match that came off lately, at which the woman who won the prize, disposed of no fewer than nineteen cups; and then challenged the party for another imme diate trial ! She must have been a perfect sucker as -well as an old ma;d. We knew an old maid once who 'said, " for her part, she did't see how any body could drink eighteen or nineteen cups of tea-rnme or ten was sufficient for her,,at any one time !1.' and itho.ught her a perfect mistress of. the art of guzzling, but this ratherbeats even , the ap ple dumpling story. - - Mrs. Tyndale. A cot respondent of:the New York Express giv ing an account of the Woman Rights' Convention, says : Mrs. Tyndale of Philadelphia, related her ex perience in conducting an extensive and compli cated mercantile business. Her husband (who I had been the largest importing merchant in the world, as Mrs. Mott informed the audience,) sud- I Jenly deceased, leaving Jiis affairs in.an.embat- rassed; situation. After proper deliberation, she concluded to continue the business herself. She ' found debts to a large amount, which she felt it her duty to pay to the Utmost farthing beifeving as she sincerely did, that '"honesty is the best ffol icy. The creditors expressed their confidence in her abilities, by extending to her every indulgence, and in a. few years-she found herself frpe , from iqop with a lucrative business on her hands. She,, employed girls as, well as boys behind the coun termand found the former far superior to the latter,1 iand recommended that liiey should be employed in preference to boys? Atnhe age of fifty, she proposed to retire,and 'leave the business1 fn the hand of her children who were sufficiently ad vanced in life to be entrusted with the condupfihg of affaiis." Put she could not sit still. The .indus trious ,hab its thus .acquired hiust.be exercise, and she had sine's devotee) her time to the cause of charity and doing good.

A man named John M. Daniels died in January last, at Rising Sun, Indiana, leaving an unincumbered estate worth 810,000. No heirs reside or are known , , that region, but it is supposed some relatives of , the deceased live in the northern part of the Slate of New York. Daniels was a dealer in lumber. It is represented by some that his real name is John McDonald. An attorney at Rising Sun pre tends that he has found, heirs for the estate, but this story is looked upon with suspicion. The admin istrator of Daniels is Thomas Kimpton, of Rising Sun.

It is slaved that at the pres ent time there is not a banking institution in the State. The consequence is, her currency is rags instead of the hard chink. Her farmers handle little else in the shape of money than the promises of the banks of other States. For this privilege they pay annually not less than six hundred thou sand dollars. Her neighbors, by means of bank issues, treble and quadruple the amount invested --making their capital pay them eighteen to twenty-five per cent. ; and Illinois pays them this -per centage on every dollar she handles of their is sues. Then, supposing the currency of this State to be ten millions, she pays to other. States and their capitalists annually, in the shape of interest, not less than $600,000. Pittsburg Gazette,, . A Lusus Natural. A cob of Indian corn, which in size and shape exactly resembles the human hand, has been brought to: our office. The four fin gers and thumb are distinctly marked. The thumb alone is a little defective, being larger in proportion than the thumb of the human hand, but m all other respects the resemblance is perfect. The fingers are delicately formed, and the whole presents a counterpart of a. fine female hand.; This curious object grew upon, the farm, of David Clarke, of Danby, Tompkins county. The owner was in the act of taking it to a friend of his, who he said was minus a hand, when the person who exhibited it to us obtained ppssesion of it. The corn having been boiled off, the cob remains an. object of great curiosity. N. Y. Sun. Frightful Steamboat Accident.

Thomas. Powell, Esq., of Newburgh, was ap pointed President ; Hon. J. E. Edsall, of New Jersey, Vice President ; J; HTBFown, Esq., of Sussex, N, J., and J. J. Monnell, E?q., of Newburgh, Secretaries. ,.G.Q?. Haines p.f.JN. J, stated the object of 1V.0 maoiinrr nrntpntino interesting stailalics of the agricultural and mineral riches of Sussex and Warren counties, and pledging that part of the State' for their share of means necessary to carry the enterprise through. Col. Peter B. Shaf.er of N. J., presented some Interesting facts in reference to the right of way through that State. He said the un conditional right'of way had been gratuitously ceded by the farmers over whose lands the road is to pass. Horner Ra.msdell, Esq. of Newburgh, ad dressed the meeting at some length. He said this project of connecting Newburgh with ihe coal fields of Pennsylvania, had been agitated for twenty years. The iNewourgn orautn, auuu nineteen miles in length, the first link in the chain of Rail Road, is now completed. The ballance of the road to the Water Gap, about 56 miles in length, can be constructed for $13, 000 per mile making the whole cost about $750,000. The grades will be found easy, not exceeding 30-feet to the mile. ' The distance from Newburgh to the coal fields at Scranton, on the Lackawana is as fol lows, : From Newburgh to Chester, . , 19 miles Che'ster to Columbia, . . 56 Columbia to Scranon, . 50 ii Total. 125 He gave very full statistics of the coal busi ness of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Com pany, and of the Reading Rail-Road Gompany; spoke of the agricultural and mineral wealth of Northern New Jersey, and painted in glowing language the beamy, and fertility of the Wyo miiig yalley. No reasonable man could doubt b'ut that the. proposed road would richly repay the time, labor, and capital expended in build ing it. Resolutions were adopted and a correspond ins committee appointed. Extracts from a letter from John I. Blair, in reference io the Legget's Gap Rail-Road were read. He states that the length of the Legget's q P Will.

The Cherokee Advocate, of October 12ht, contains the message of John Ross, principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation,, to the Legisla ture of his tribe. He laments the death of President Taylor, adding due moral reflections theron, expresses peculiar regret at the death of Dr. Wra. Butler, late U. S. agent among the Cherokees, returns thanks to Divine Provi- dence lor tne goooness oi me crops, rejoices that peace and good order generaly prevail in the nation, while he laments at the growth of a dags of intemperate and thieving characters, hem ment spen- eable that a census of the people be taken, in order that the appropriation lately made by the United States Government, may be justly dis triputed and all in but a little more space than is occupied by this paragraph. John Ross is. a. man of business and wastes no words. Construction of the Fugitive law. The Buffalo Express says, that by a decision just made in one of the exciting Detroit cases, the act absolutely annuls a deed pf emancipa tion, and enables fraud and villany to snatch any person black or white, from a home in a free state, and transport him to a slave market'. And we are assured by a Judge of our Supreme Court, that this decision is in conformity with the spirit and evident intent of the law. The Detroit case and decision are as follows : A. negro was brought before a Commissioner as a fugitive slave from Tennessee. Tho Counsel for the negro presented an affidavit duly sworn to by the former, stating that he was manumitted by the deed of the present claimant for $700, which the latter had receiv ed for the same, and that the deed is now in the hands of tho negro's friends in Cincinnatti. On this affidavit tho counsel for the prisoner moves that the case be continued until the.deed of emancipation can be procured and used as evidence. The Commissioner decides that the deed would be inadmissabie, if procured ; that he has no power to inquire into any ueienco the negro may have against the claim, but only to determine whether the case represented on the part of the claimant be sufficient 10 entitle him to a certificate for the removal of the negro. If this decision be sustained1, no colored man north can be: safe for a day. If a deed of free dom is annulled by the act, there will be pur juries enough to send into .slatfary every color ed, man and wojnen north of Mason and Dix on's linq, TBighamptpn Republican, ; w UCFAway up in Vermont, a long tirne ag an Irish "help" hau1 spoiled a lot of candles, by letting them fall into a hogshead of rain water.

" Mercy flakes,.Brjdgei,iwhatM ihe matter pcutf the caudles JU'jho hut.oyen.for to dhry Cooping in Baltimore. The extent io which the practice of " coop ing" has been carried on in Baltimore this fall, is astonishing. Out readers would not believo -that the parties who practiced this mode of e iectioneering would venture to " coop" and put the lowest vagrants, but it seems from the fol lowing extract that very prominent citizens, even the Mayor of the city, and the Attorney Ceneral of Pennsylvania, were shut up in these pens. We copy from the Baltimore correspon dent of rhe Tribune : The election campaign of the last two weeks has been fraught with every species of corjupj lion on the part of the Locos. . Colizaiipn," as it' is termed bringing rotors from other States, District of Columbia, &c, was carried on quite extensively. Then again, 41 cooping was resorted to throughout the ciiy. Houses wera rented, and every poor devil of a white man that could be caught drunk in the streets, was forced into one of ihese dens, kept intoxi cated, and drugged with opium, and on elec tion day forced to vote in a dozen different J .... - , .1 wards. A building used as a nospitai uy mo cornnraiinn. was made a general receptacle for these loafers, together with the inmates of iho Almshouse, and is said to have produced auu voters, by voting each one several times. Not only loafers but respectable men were tnus con- fined, and either kept all day ;wnig'u.u voting, or being drugged, were lorceu io u.e, being disguised so they could not be recognized, a precaution that the "cooping committee, also used, in order tnat tneir victims uugm tify them and make them pay the penalty of the outraged laws. Col Stansbury, our present Mayor, Francis Gallager, Esq., James Wilkes, Eq., and others, got into "coops" by various modes, and wiih difficulty escaped their captors. Col Kane, our Collector of the Port, was also seized, aud an attempt made to "coop" him, but a good revolver soon dispersed his assail ants. These acts were also committed at night, and at opportunities which were watched for. The most high-handed outrage of all, however, was. the capture of the Hon. Cornelius Darrah, of Pittsburg, the Whig Attorney General of Pennsylvania, vtho happened to be in the city on the day preceeding the Governor's election. Pie was caught in the street on Thursday night, the 2d ult. and confined in one of these "coops" throughout the 31st ult. the day of election, be ing badly maltreated. He addressed a note during his confinement io Hon. Reverdy Johnson, asking his interven tion. When released he could noi identify any of the scoundrels, all being disguised by false hair, wiskers, &c. From these few incidents you can judge of the despera'.e deeds of tho Locofoco party. Preservation off Apples. A correspondent gives the following account of the most extraordinary preservation of ap ples we recollect to have seen. He says : " 1 send you an apple which 1 bought in ihe all of 1848, of my neighbor; Among others, it was put into my cellar, in open casks ; and a bout the first of January. 1849, I overhauled them and put three barrels away, packed in plaster of Paris first a layer of plaster and a laver of annles, and so alternately till the bar rels were filled. They were then headed up, and stood till the early part of the summer when I overhauled and asssorted them anfl put them in a box in layers of dry oak saw dust. The box had a lock and key, and has been locked up, only when we got apples out to use. Wo continued using oui of the box, till some lime after early apples were ripe, and I sup posed they were all used out, but at a town meeting, ihe 11th of March, 1850, it being stormy I told my men to assort my apples, 8nd fill that box again with saw dust and apples. Upon unlocking the box and taking the saw dust out, to our surprise there were three ap ples in the box, and all of them perfectly sound. The apple I send you having been kept in a warm room, has commenced, as you perceive, to rot. The above is submitted respectfully, for the benefit of all lovers ofgood apples. Pennsylvania Copper and Lead. We are gratified to learn thai an extensive copper and lead formation has been discovered in this State, near the Schuylkill river, and only about twen ty miles from this city ; and the extent of the metal is. from present appearences, such as 10 warrant the expectation of a very large busi ness arising out of it. Some of the veins have been successfully worked within the past year. The average yield of 2000 10ns has been 20 per cent, of pure copper. The lead and silver ore, which is also abundant, has been assayed and carries about 85 per cent, of lead, and will yield of silver about S35 to the ton. The Per kiomen mine, which is near the newly discov ered veins, has been worked to the depth of a bout 300 foet and more than a quarter of a mil in length $6,000 have already been received for ore, and about four hundred tons more have been mined but not yet sent to market. This, with the new veins, gives evidence of a field of mineral wealth which promises 'o add to tho fame of Pennsylvania as the greatest mineral region in the world. Evening Bulletin.
