A clergyman living not one thousand miles from Proetorsville, Vt., having attended's' watch-meeting, returned to his home about one o'clock on New Year's morning, and found a team hitched in front of his door, and acouple in his house. the object of their visit was soon made known by the young man, who informed the clergyman that he wished to be married to the young lady who was in the other room arrang ing he toilet. The rest of the story is thus _told by the Rutland Herald: The clergyman suggested that it was an unseasonable hour fora wedding, and proposed that they postpone the nuptial ceremony tin the next day. In reply to this the young man said that they were not intending to be married until the next day, but had - concluded the even ing previous to take a trip to his home in Jeffrey,'_C. H., an goine down to Wind:tendon on the nighttrain. The story - was so plausible that the clergy man Married ther,p.. They leftand went to the hotel in the village, where they spent the remainder of the night. In tne morning they went to the depot to take the train for Ludlow, neglecting to pay their bill at the hotel, or for theb team hired at the liver? stable. The landlord follow&d them and de manded his bill of the bridegic.om. which he paid. The livery stable keep er also went and presented his bill of three dollars for the use of the team. This bill was also paid and the man returned to his stable and discovered that the whip he had furnished the young couple was missing,. He went back Immediately to the depot, and de manded pay for the lost whip, , which the happy bridegroom handed over. On return7sg to the stable be found the runners of the sleigh were broken. and fearing the train might leave before he could reach the depot, hastened thither and presented a bill for the third time to the happy but unlucky man, who paid five dollars for the damage done to the runners of the sleigh.. The CaTS Fo on arrived and took the young couple to Ludlow, and the livery stable keeper returned to his stable. On. examining his sleigh more critically he found that the beams of thesleigh were also broken. Hitching up a team, he soon started for Ludlow sad found the young bride groom, and for the fourth tithe presen ted a bill which was this aril'e cancelled with a five dollar greenbaekw' Nothing More occurred to mar the •pleasure of their honeymoon till the up mail train arrived at Ludlow, when off stepped a young man in search of the runaway couple This man had a bill to present to the young bridegroom who had proved his rival in thin love affair, the facts of which were that the two young gentlemen, then confronting each other, had both been courting the Salile ; but !over No. 1 (who had just arrived on the train in search of the fugitives), got the girl to promise to marry him, and after they had appointed the wedding day, invited lover o 2 to attend the festivities. 'The invited lover stole a march on his rival, and on the evening alluded to, procured a team and went to see the lady, and af ter a few minutes' conversation, they agreed to proceed to the minister's resi dence, as above, and become "twain of one flesh." The truant girl, however, did not fail to array herself in the marriage gar ments furnished her by lover No. I, who; when learning of the proceedings, was greatly incensed thereat, and, upon meeting his rival at Ludlow, claimed that the haughty girl had promised to marry him, and that he had bought the nice clothes that she had on her at that time—her wedding suit. The bride groom remonstrated with the rejected lover, whose indignation would be qui eted with nothing short of full payment for the nice "lothes that he had furnish ed the treacherous girl. But here the bridegroom was in a bad situation : such inroads had been made upon his financial resourccs that his last bill (the unkindest cutof all) over sized them, and he was unable to pay it, how muchsoever he might have de sired to. But his relentless opponent was uncompromising in his demands, and nothingshort ofall the bridegroom's money and watch would.sathify his wounded heart and depleted pocket book. At last the bridegroom yielded to these stern demands, and gave up his watch and last dollar, and doubtless feels rich in the possession of one who has forsaken another and agreed to cling unto him alone through life.

This afternoon about five o'clock, the ice broke up in the Chemung River at this point and began to move. It be came demanded at the highway bridge leading to Knoxville and soon carried off the bridge, which broke into three portions; one lodged on the bank near ly opposite the Corning Warehouse; another lodged on the bank at the upper end of the narrows, , or upon the pier of the late Tow-path bridge ; the third por tion went over the dam, and was so broken up that it passed safely under the highway bridge near the Corning Mills. It raked it some, but did no special damage. There was a large ' crowd of people attracted to the-river as the sections of the bridge floated down, and consequently great excitement and fear that it might involve the destruc tion of the bridge below the Canal dam. The Knoxville bridge was built in the spring of 1847. It was first built about the year 1833, and was carried irTln the spring of 1840. The bridge stolid until the fall of 1846. The loss of thik bridge is a serious calamity, us a new tole will be quite an expense in these tax times. We presume there will soon be- a pon toon bridge laid for travel, or a ferry established. Corning Journal, Feb. i 6. Mkt agitator. WELLBBOBO. PCNN'A WEDNESDAY, FEB. 20, 1.81,7. CIRCULATION 1,700 Hon. S. F. Wilson please accept thanks for a copy of the proposed tariff bill. We are obliged to Auditor kieneral Hartranft for copies of his n annual Re port, and of Reports of Banks and Sa vitig,s Institutions for 1.886. "• To state Treasurer Rernble for u: copy of his annual Report of Finances. To Dr. John Curwen, superintendent of the State Hospital for the rneane. Our readers will have, ere this, exam ined the annual Statement of the Coni mi.ssioners, and Audifors of the Coun ty for leGd. We regard it as a gratify ing, exhibit of the state of the finances, and an earnest of the ability of the'Codn iy to extinguish the war debt in short er time than was thought sufficient for that purpose. It appears that during the Past year 6112,097,90 of the debt. has • been extin guished, leaving a balance of $217;400,- SO tb be lifted. The original war debt of the County was $469,572,75, tiPon which there had been paid up to Jan. 16,160, $173,000,17. It app&its that Mr. Miller, the present efficient Treasurer, paid, in principal and interest, last year $12,1,651,10. So, we safely say that two years will suffice to close up the war debt of the County, taking the payments of 1866 as the standard. Probably a portion of the debt is funded in bonds maturing at a later period, which Will prolong the period of indebtedness somewhat. ,T he prospect is by no means discouraging as we see it ; and we predict that the County will be none thk worse for pay ing-this large indebtedness. • TARIFF-FREE TRADE Mr. Jones broke the handle out of his ,axe ; " By good lucZ:," said be to him self, " I have a spare handle, which I made the other nieht out of a bit of second growth hickory grown on my own premises." On the atone day, Mr. Smith broke the handle out of his axe ; " Jim," said he, "g o o down to the I j illage; and get a helve for the axe. Tell 'em to charge It." Mr. Smith had plenty of nice hick ory timber on his farm, and plenty of spare time.to make his own axe-helves. Now, which was the more economical of the two? Other things being equal, the note of which of these men would you prefer to carry in your pocket? You say, "Mr. Jones." You would prefer Jones's note, also. Well, Jones depends on home manu factures and development of home re sources; Smith represents that school of Free Trade which imports What can be produced at home as cheaply as it can be imported; but whh this differ ence—you get the itnpoitation on tick, and you must pay cash for the home product. We have heard all the arguments for Free Trade; born and reared in the midst of Free Trade influences, in a manufacturing region whose interests had been fostered until they could fair ly compete with foreign capital, there -1 fore requiring.no further protection; so our educational bias is toward free trade. But we nevertheless find our convict ions decidedly tending toward a protec tive system, one which shall foster the industrial interests, and at the same time develop the immense latent resour ces of the country. Should a farmer, possessed of a good farm, purchase his oats, hay and corn, permitting his fields to grow up weeds, Canada thistles and hard-hack, his in telligent neighbors would pronounce him a shiftless fellow and a fool. Yet the champions of Free Trade advocate a system which involves as great folly, because it dooms our mines of iron and coal to undevelopment, and forces us to buy what we ought to produce. We are aware that the champions of Free Trade declare that the burden of taxation by duties falls upon the consu mer. To this we reply, that the consu mer is bettered proportionably as ! th• number of producers is increased, and oppressed in the ratio of the decrease of production; therefore, the low tariff system increases the burden of the con sumes by paralyzing Production. The effect of patronising foreign mar kets for articles the crude materials for which abound at home, is paralleled completely in the - mse of the miser, who heaps his cash in an old chest, and gets a living by days' works. Money should be put out with use, else it is dead cap ital. The resources of a country, if not developed, are likewise:lead capital. On the other hind, when an induce ment to the development of internal re sources is offered, capital at once ad dresses itself to the work of develop ment, and every acre of timber, coal, and iron lands becomes so much added capital in reserve. It is argued by free traders ,f bat pro tection creates manufacturing monopo lies. Admit it, and what then? Isnot Europe, whose markets we patronize, full of monopolies? In patronizing them do we not support monopolies? But the fact is, that where the opera tion of the laws of trade is unimpeded by class legislation, there can be no mo nopoly of manufacture or trade„ The whole matter is one of concentration of capitaL A Sim ii4olvent to begin with will go to the wall' in competing with a • solvent firm. If the arguments of free traders mean anything, they mean that no capital shall be rendered able to suc cessfully compete with capital ; in other words, if all mechanics cannot become employers, then no mechanic shall be come an employer. That is not a Commonsense argument and ought to have been demolished long ago.. Accumulated capital is an evil, or it is not. If an evil, then kill it; but if not an evil, direct it and protect it. To expect American capitalists to compete with British capital—the former paying double the hire for labor that the latter does—is unreasonable. But to crown the wrong, withotit protection, the for eign manufacturer' is able to cell an 'in ferior article for nearly as good a price as home producers command fOr the - same Article of superior grade. In this Country cheapness is more sought after ihau - excelleuce. Hence, boom manu facturers areshiitrout of market: -.1,, Our facilities for the production of the staples of manufacture are nuequaled in the world. But while manufacturers of long establishment and unlimited cap ital, can come into market with equal advantage in other respects, the United States might as well be without unrival ed resources as with them. Under the system of Free Trade we are like a 1000 _ 'horse-power engine without wood and water. - • - - -• ; • • • • Will the President be impeaeherd ? ' manyquestion is propounded to us many times a day; and we desire to re ply that— We know 'no better about that than our catechizers. However, we have no expectation of Andrew Johnson's im peachment. That be has done, and omitted to do, many things upon which 1 his impeachment might be had, is un questionable. But the American pea ' ple are long-suffering, and-seldom pun ish where punishment can be avoided. We are not particularly desirous of the impeachment of the President. It does not now seem likely that he will have an opportunity to further imperil pnblic liberty during his term: Con gress has generously relieved him from . a contingent exercise of doubtful pow ers bY ysolvingliself into a perpetual body. But we are _Pot of those who shrink from the consequences of the enforcement of law, whether they af fectl persons of low or high degree. The American habit of forgiveness and am nesty before confession and repentance, has had the effect to quadruple the in ducements to crime within the last half century. Compounding felony has come to be a smart subterfuge of the at torney, and the restraining statute has fallen into a condition of hopeless par alysis. More than a year ago, the spn. of an eminent banker in New York perpetra ted a series of involving a loss of more than half a million of money. He was apprehended, pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to a term of penal servitude in the penitentiary. Yet, his crime did not cause "so much disturb ance in the circle iu which he moved, as the rifling of a grocer's till would cause in our isolated village: This fact should teach us something. It should teach ns that, by some vicious practice, crime is not graduated according to its magnitude, or intrinsic turpitude, but rather with regard - to the social status of the perpetrator. Taking this view of the ease, the ne cestilty for arraigning Andrew Johnson for maladministration in his office, ap pears very great. But is he not al ready arraigned before the highest trib unal in the land—Public Opinion—tried and convicted, and sentenced to lasting shame by ballot? We regard him as ' already impeached and punished. The question now is,—what is to be gained by a formal arraignment of the culprit before the representatives of the people —who have already inflicted upon him the severest penalty _hp law provided.? We submit . the question to the ;people, and pass from consideration of the sub ject for the present. Our neighbor Goodrich, of the Brad ford Reporter, is engaged in taxidermic labors; the subject in hand being Col. McClure, of Chambersburg. We sus pect that • the specimen, after having been properly prepared, will hardly prove a valuable acquisition to the mu seum of any private gentleman. The specimen is too common. HoWever, our • friend O'Meara is a skillful Bayer; and though the process of Skinning eels is not one we step out of the way to witness, we own that we have been an attentive and much edi fied observer of the denudation of the gentleman whose stables and wines were patronized, and pronounced very superior, by Jubal Early. We have watched hiS flaying with greater satis faction, because he not long ago set up in the bush:less of manufacturing a cheap sort of public morality, much'in vogue among politicians of his class, on about the smallest capital ever risked. Andrew Jackson once declared, that he who traded on borrowed capital ought to break ; we can find no utterance of thatfunetionary touching trade on no capital whatever, but judging from Mr. Goodrich's movements we conclude that he dooms such moral impecuniosi ty to undergo the rack. While Mr. McClure was bririgin,g charges against Gen. Cameron—charges without foundation, as we believe,—we ventured to say that a stone thrown to ward Chambersburg would break a deal of glass in Col. M'Clure's neighborhood. Friend Goodrich has thrown that stone. The effect on the glazed portion- of the Colonel's dwelling reminds us of the ravages of a hailstorm. The Senate of this Commonwealth, on the 6th instant, did something for the cause of impartial justice and the extinction of barbarism, In passing an act making it a penal offbnce for any railroad corporation to make distinc tions among passengers on account of race or color. The offence is punisha ble by a fine of, not more than $5OO, nor less than $lOO. This, of course, will shock the dirtier portion of the pro-slavery party; and will replenish their cartridge-boxes for a season. It is awful to contemplate. During the summer of 1860, we were on a trip from Washington to New York —the day being very sultry, and the cars crowded to the.utmost of their ca pacity. Among'the passengers were a number of Southerners, with their fam ilies, on the way to Newport and Lynn Beach. Accompanying these South rons, and having charge of sundry ba bies, were three or four colored women. While passing through Maryland and Delaware we observed no avoidance of the seats occupied by these colored peo ple by passengers. However, we soon entered the kingdom of Camden and Amboy ; sad at Camden received a fresh instalment of passengers, among whom were a man and woman, whose clothing and persons were terribly sug gestive of cholera. The car had but two uno&upled seats—half of two seats. being each occupied by a colored nurse. The conductor urged the dirty pair of Jersey folk to occupy these vacant half seals. The Jersey folk drew back in reir-hot indignation: "D—d if,me sr my old woman 'll set by a dirtynegur I" shouted the indigparit Jerseyman. In a moment, a tall, bewblskered Southerner, and a fine-looking lady, occupying a seat together, vacated their seat and quietly dropped down beside the colored nurses, the gentleman po litely pointing the protestants to the vacant seat. This, thought we, is better than a play ; It is a sermon. CONGRESS Feb. 8: The Senate discussed the proppsition to transfer the printing or the debates in Congress from the Globe to the Government,printing Office. i The bill to admit Nebraska, vetoed by the President 'was taken up and pass ed by a vote of Si to 9—or more thana two-thirds vote. The House resumed debate on the He construction bill of the Committee but arrltikl at no conclusion. Feb. 9. In the Senate a resolution hf inquiry as to whether the President had a constitutional right to appoint provisional governors, was laid over un der the rules. The vote rejecting the Bankrupt bill was reconsidered by a vote of 22 to 14: In the House the debate on Recon struction was continued. The Nebras ka bill was passed over the President's veto by a vote of 120 to 44, mad the Speak er announced that it had become a law. During the debate on Reconstruction Mr. Banks stated that there ought to be some plan of reconstruction in which every branch of the Government coull cooperate. He said that there ought to be some compromise effected betweea Congress and the President by which the laws passed should be such as to ensure their enforcement by the Exect five. Feb. 11. The Senate had under dis cussion the resolution touching the Constitutional right of the President to appoint proAsional Governors in the rebel States. It was tabled withont much opposition from the mover. In the House, Mr. Noell, of Missouri offered a resolution for the 'extension of the right of Suffrage to women. It was laid over. The Committee appointed to investigate' the New Orleans Massacre reported, together with a bill for the re organization of civil government in Louisiana. The previous question was demanded on the reception of the bill and the demand seconded. A motion to reconsider the vote seconding the yirevfous question was lost. The Demo crats filibustered awhile bnt without effect, and the mover of the previous question on the bill announced his in tention to move an adjournment before the main question should be put in or der to permit members to read the bill, which provides : 1. That by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, the President shall appoint a Governor for Louisiana, who shall hold his office one year, un less sooner removed by and with thead vice and consent of the Senate, or until superceded by a successor duly elected in accordance with the provisions of the bill. Such Governor shall not have been in any way involved in the re hellion against the Government, either by vote, speech or writing, or by an oath of allegiance to the ' Confederacy.' 2. A provisional Connell shall in like manner be appointed, to consist of nine persons, who shall be possessed of the same qualifications as the iGovernor.-- Said Council to continue in office, un less sooner removed, in the samemanner as the Governor may be removed, until a legislature shall be elected under the tact. 3. The Governor to nominate, and the Council to. confirm all °ileum now provided for by the constitution and laws of Louisiana, necessary to 'enforce the laws of the State. 4.

That all males of the age of 21 years and upward, who shall not voluntarily have borne arms against the United States, or lent the •rebellion aid and comfort, and who can truthfully attest the same under oath shall be permitted to vote at said election, without distinc tion of race or color. The remainder of the bill is directory as to the registration of voters, the com position of a convention to frame a per manent Constitution for the State, the establishment of a military district and the assignment of a military force suf ficient to enforce the laws for the main tenance of civil liberty in said State, and the submission of all laws made by the Provisional Council to Congress for its approval. It is farther provided that none but electors - under this act shall be competent to sit as jurors. Feb. 12. In Senate a bill was intro duced, providing for the redemption of compound interest notes by temporary loan certificates bearing interest at three per centum. A resolution was ofibied looking toward limiting the Presiden tial tenure of office to one term of sla years, abolishing the office of Vice Presi dent, and electing the President by popular vote. The vote rejecting the Bankrupt bill was reconsidered, and the bill passed by a vote of 22 to 20. The House had under consideration the bill to reorganize and reestablish civil Government in Louisiana, an ab -Btract of which will be found above.— After a sharp debate the demand for the previous question was insisted on, and the bill passed by a vote of 118 to 48; after which the discussion of the Re construction bill. was resumed. Feb. 18.—The bill to reorganize civil government in the State of Louisiana was received in the Senate, and laid over one day. A memorial from the citizens of Colorado, setting forth that the majority of the people of that Terri tory desired the passage of the bill to admit it as a State of the Union, was read. The Minter? reconstruction bill passed by ,the House was reported. The House debated the Stevens Re construction bill at great length, and passed it by a vote of 109 to 55. Feb.f 14. The bill to establish a Navy Yard at League Island, near Philadel phia, passed the Senate by a vote of 24 to 18. An act authorizing the issue of temporary loan certificates for the pur pose of funding the floating debt, pass ed the Senate. The House was engaged- on the Tax bill. EisoczniGAccunrrn—On last Thur sday forenoon, Mr. ELIJAH C. Rovaxs, a cartmau, was fatally ipjured, on Mar ket Street, in front of Hood's Harness Shop. His home became frightened by a piece of paper blown by the wind. Mr. Bowies was beside the cart, and undertook to hold the horse by the bit, but as the animal endeavored to run, and the ground was slippery. Mr. R., was unable to control it, and was thus drawn several rods, until he struck a hitching-post in front of the Harness Shop. The post was broken. by the concussion, and Mr. R., fell insensible. He was taken up and carried into the office of Graves Cc Nills. His head was badly cut, but there was no fracture of the skull. He was carried to his home, in Knoxville, and every effort was made for his relief. He became con scious in a few hours, and some hopes were had of his recovery, but the injury was such that he died yesterday.—Ciyr ning Journal. A PANTECER IN Byr.r vTorrrE.—Air.
