At noon about 200 children flocked to the hotel and made known their wants. Mr. Smiley, who was equal to the occasion, made his appearance and presented each child with one of his cards. The scholars at once commenced to yell for Smilay, and it now looks as if he would be nominated by acclamation. —lt is very seldom that a charge of being a common fccold is preferred against anybody in this State Such a case, however, will come before the Dauphin.county criminal court at the next session. Up to 1524 the punish ment awarded a common scold in Pennsylvania was the ducking: stool, aud no later than Oct. 29th, 1824, a Philadelphia woman was sentenced to such punishment for having too loose a tongue. The case was taken to the Supreme Court aud there reversed, "the acts of Assembly being obsolete, aud the common law punishment of ducking not being revived here." The Supreme Court held, however, that a common scold could be indicted and punished as a common nuisance by fine and imprisonment. —An inmate of the Tioga Co. poor house has just received pension arrear ages of SBOO, and will receive $lB monthly.

MILLER BHO'S., No. 19, Jefferson St. The Congressional Conference. Besides the delegates from this ! county, who were Chas. McCandless, j W. S. Dixon, T. W. Kennedy, J. B. I Cunningham, M. N. Greer, Joseph ' Hartman, H. M Caldwell, Dr. Hoov er, H. C. Black, Robert Thompson, David Studebaker, S. T Okeson, John Dindinger, W. H. McCandless and W. G. Russell, quite a number of other friends of Newton Black, Esq. our candidate for Congress, went over to New Castle, last Tuesday, to attend the Delegate Convention. The Convention met in what is known as "White Hall" there, at about 2 pm. and organized by elect ing Hon. W. S. Shallenberger of the Beaver delegation President; one from each county, including Dr. Hoover of this county, Vice Presi dents, and one from each county, W. G. Russell of this county, to be Sec retaries. On motion a committee of one from each county was then appointed on rules and resolutions, and instruct ed to report at the evening session. The names of the different delega tions were then handed to the Secre taries and tabulated in the order of counties, viz;— Beaver, Butler, Law reuce and Mercer. McCandless then moved that the Convention proceed to nominate can didates and vote viva voce, which was agreed to. Beaver county being first on the list, Mr. Shallenberger proceeded to nominate Mr. Chas. C. Towusend of New Brighton. He spoke of the importance of the House of Representatives, of the wisdom of introducing now blood into it, said this was the first meeting of theso four counties,said Mr. Townsend was a representative of the manufacturing interests of the valley, a soldier, G. A. R. man, etc. Butler came next, and Charles Mc- Candless, Esq, rose and spoke of this being a new experiment in this district, said that Mercer and Butler were now represented in Con gress by a free trade Democrat, that we should forget the past and begin anew, nominated Newton Black and spoke of his career as a soldier and attorney, and of the wounds received by him in battle. For Lawrence county Scott D. Long, Esq said it was not necessary to dwell on Jackson's record, that he had made a good Congressman and carried a rebel bullet in his head. For Mercer county editor J. C. Brown, of Greenville, spoke of what be called the equities of the counties and read figures to prove that Mercer county polled 2000 more votes than Lawrence, and 1000 more than either Butler or Beaver, and said, that her manufacturing interests were fully as great as those of any other county. Then he nominated Major Alexander McDowell of Sharon, said he began life as a printer, was for 3 years a sol dier, then a succesful business man, and that this was the 4th nomination for Congress that he had received from Mercer county. The roll of delegates were then called and all answered «o their names, but just here an amusing in oident occurred. The Chairman ask ed if all the delegates names had been called, and an Irishman in ono of the back seats, who evidently belonged to the Hibernian order, which bad a parade in the town that day, and which was meeting in the Opara House near by, got up and said "No Sir, No, Sir, just stop a minute there, you didn't call Jimmy McKinnev of the Westmoreland delegation,or Jim my Gribben. The Hall rang with laughter, and Jimmy was told he was in the wrong house. A motion to proceed to a ballot then carried and the delegates names were called over in county groups. The result, as expected, was that each candidate received his county vote—ls for each. Three ballots were taken with same result, when it was moved that the Convention continue to ballot till elo?e of the afternoon. Brown thought that to adjourn without making a nomination would be a disgrace, and would defeat the grand object of the new system, which was a speedy nomination. The motion carried, and this put every thing, excepting a motion to adjourn, out of order for the balance of the session. The 4th, sth and (sth ballots were the same as the first, and then came a motion to adjourn to 7:30 p. m., which was defeated. Unanimous consent was asked to chauge the order of counties, but this was objected to. The 7th ballot made no change, and another effort to adjourn was de feated. The Bth ballot was the same, and another motion to adjourn till 7 p. m. carried. The Convention re-p.ssembted at 7 p. m and seven more ballots were taken without changing the result, and an effort to ehange the rules, and make another giving each connty a term in Congress, until the next ap portionment, the nomination to be made by lot or otherwise, failed. At 10 p,.m the convention adjourned till next morning. On Wednesday the Convention met at 9a. m. and continued ballot ing, the counties of Butler and Beaver trading votes, thus alternate ly giving Black 30. and Townsend 0, and Townsend 30 and Black 0. It looked like a dead lock and the Con vention voted the new system a fail ure, and Mr. Shallenberger in a speech recommending the popular vote plan said that the two days' deadlock Lad menaced the party with disrup tion; that the system was more the will of the candidates than that of the people, as they selected their own delegates, whom they controlled to the unit, as exemplified by this con vention, to such a degree as to bring forth only county pride ana county lines; and it further binds a delegate to such an extent as to place him in such a position that invites suspicion should he deviate from his county vote. On the 34th ballot, however, Mr. B. A. Cover, a Lawrence county delegate from Mahoning township, in the western part of the county, voted for Townsend, thu3 giving him 31 votes and nominating. Jackson got mad and denounced Conver a 9 a traitor, but was howled down, and Cover explained that he was not elected as a Jackson delegate and was free to do what he pleased. Mr. Townsend is a partner in the wire works at New Brighton and also a partner in the firm of W. P. Town send &Co, of Pittsburg. His home is at New Brighton, He is a very nice looking man—resembling C. Gh Cbristie, Esq., of this place more than any other man we now think of—and is well spoken of by all who know him. —"Going like hot cakes" is what the Martincourt Buggy Co. eays, Read their $46 oiler. —lce Cream made to order at the City Bakery. Burning of the Bottle Glass Works. The bottle glass blowers of this | town quit work Wednesday noon of this week, nearly three weeks earlier than usual, and their vacation will probably last longer than usual this year, for an hour and a half after they quit work, their entire plant, except ing the stacks and boiler house was a mass of ruins. At about half-pas'.- twelve of that day fire was discover ed in the packing room. The build ing was filled with goods, packing boxes and straw and the flames spread from one end co the other of the long building as fast as a barrow could have been rolled through it. Some young men who ran into the building and tried to save some things got their hair singed and had to get out of that as quickly as pos sible, Nothing could have saved the packing house, but it was separated from the two works by a space wide enough for a wagon road, and had there been a plug and hose at the works the two factories might have been saved. The Hose Companies of the town were on hands promptly and had a line of hose to the burniog building, but the supply of water was short, and by the time word was sent to the water-works to increase the force, the fire had spread to the two factories. The hose, also, busted and as the water had to be brought from the plug near the West Penn depot, the line was not long enough to get around to the South side of the build ing, and where some good work could yet have been done. Fifteen minutes after the alarm was given the entire plant was iu flames and all hopes of saying it vanished. The flames were furious and their volume so great, that three buildings on Kittanning street two to three hundred feet distant were set on fire, and a line of hose bad to be run to them. Four cars loaded with sand, pots and slate, standing near packing room were entirely consumed, and a large pile of railroad ties on the oppo eite side of the tracks was on fire several times. What the loss is will depend upon amount of stocks on hand, all of which was destroyed, but it is probable that $30,000 will cover it. The insurance is in ditferent companies and aggre gates $16,000. The tire is said to have originated in the second story of the packing house, which was filled with hay and straw, and is said to have originated from the pipe or cigar of an employe who went up there out of sight of the guard to smoke, as no smoking was allowed in the building. The stacks, —the most costly parts of glass factories are supposed to yet be safe, and we understand that the factories will be rebuilt immediately. Cheap Excursion to Chicago. Anticipating tba general desire to attend the Republican National Con vention, which convenes June 19th, the Pittsburg and Western Railway will sell rouud trip tickets from all ticket stations between Pittsburg, Butler, New Castle, Chardon, Ohio, and Akron inclusive, to Chicago June 15, 16, 17 and 18. good to return until June 30, for $5 00.
