"This is •MMwhat tough on Texas honah.

TUB Washington, (P*-) Reporter has added a now and fast Campbell press to its office. The porter is an old and reliable paper in all -Kapecta. Rnomruxoig are pouring into Congress against tbe reduction pro poeed by the Mill's tariff bill on wool, lamber, salt and other of our iudus ttiee.

TH* late March days have been the worst experienced in tho Eistern p»rt of this country for many years Railroad travel between Philadelphia and Pittsburg was impeded by the great storm and drifted enow, and up Wednesday of this week but little mail except from Pittsburg was re Aeired at the postoffice here. This oneeasonable blizzard was also severe in this county and Western Pennsyl vania, bnt nothing like in the East It was of eastern origin this time. MR, RANDALL, who some of th»> Democrats rwjently said had given up bis protection views,has introduced a bill in Congress in opposition to the Mill's tariff bill.

M , for the purpose of settling upon the two sun delegates to be elected in tbe same for the Congressional and National Delegate district Conventions to be held at New Castle. Oiher sub districts where they con venieutlv can, will likely take s;nii! ji' aorion to the above before the Pri mary of April 14. Where there are but two townships in a sab district there will be but lit tle trouble in having an understand ing or arrangement about, the said delegates to New Castle; but where there three or four, or, as in oue sub district, No 13, where there are six election districts, in these it will be more difficult to have concert of ac tion or agreement upon the siid dele gates: There is time remaining however, to yet have some action iu every enb district. The following is the action taken in Lawrence and Beaver counties of this district concerning the election o* these delegates to the New Castle district Conventions when held: Each sub district shall elect two delegates this year, one delegate to act in the Congressional convention and one delegate to act in the Na tional Delegate convention, who sh3l' be voted for separately, and the per sons receiving the highest nutuber oi votes iu the sub district shall be the delegates to the respective conven tions; but tbe sane person shall not be eligible to serve in both couven tions. —The funeral of the lat* Mr. Peter Herdic, of Williamsport, Pa , in said to have bten the largest ever had iu that city.

THE enterprise among the citizens of Ceuterville and Slipperyrock two., for the establishment of a Normal School at Ceuterville, is meeting with much success.

Few delegates to the uext Re publican National Convention will be instructed for any candidate. Ibis iB as it should be* The best wisdom of the party will be needed and the best men, not instructed or self .-eek ing dummies, should be made dele gates and allowed to freely exercise their best judgment. —Crawford Jour nal. —The Sharon Pa., Council proposes to merge the offices of street commiss ioner and health officer and pay a stated aud regular salary. He would be required to report every thing coming to his notice to the va rious council committees It is a correct Dotiou, but a man without fear or favor is needed for the poai tion. —Robert Barron, Esq., of Worth twp., returned home from Scrantoo, Pa., on Tuesday last, where he bad been summoned as a Grand Juror iu the United States Court held at that place Mr. Barron was made Fore man of the Graud Jury, which is al ways regarded as an honor and com pliment to the person cbosen and to the county from which be came. Mr. James Diulap, of this place, who was also a Grand Juror serving ut Scranton, was taken sick while there, but has returned home safe and is now in bis usual good health.

The Court Minister, stand by bis side, had read to him the 23rd Psalm, "Tht Lord is ray shepherd," etc, to which the Emperor aud King listened attentively, and then said, "That is wonderful." Another re mark was equally striking. About 5 o'clock in the morning of his death he talked so much that a daughter said to him he would tiro himself The Emperor replied, "I have QU time to be tired." An interesting account, of his last moments will be found iu another place. —For some years camproeetinir associations huve charged an admid «ion fee to their enclosed grounds on Sundays. A gate keeper at tho Joanna Heights campmeeting, neßr Ptiiladelphia was arrested and fti.t-d for performing worldy employment on Sunday. The case was appealed to the Common Pleas Court, end after hearing argument Judge mantrout rendered a decision confirm ine the judgment of the Justice of the Peace. The judge Bays: "All world ly employments arj allowed on Sun days which in their nature cousistsof neces-ity or charity, whereupon the custom of soliciting contributions on Sunday from congregations for reli gious and charitable purposes was recognized as lawful " But he places the asking and receiving of an admis sion fee on the same grounds as do ing the *ame for a circus or nnv other kind of a show. This decision may revolutionize the practice of campmeeung organizations which prevails in Western Pennsylvania. Mrs. Sarah Duffy's Death.
