The Wynockie (N.J.) mystery, which for a month past. has excited so wide spread, an interest, has at last been solved. It may be remembered that on New Year's Day, three boys, 5, 8 .and 10 years old respectively, children of Joseph Wyble, living at Wynockie, New Jersey about 13 miles north-west of Paterson, left home to gather 'nuts In the woods. They were no6after ward seen ; and though hundreds of neighbors scoured the country through,. and the aid of sundry "clairvoyants" was invoked, no trace of the missing children was'discover&l. On Wednes day, however, about 10 a. mu.'; one Wm. Ramsey, and a man named Townsend who live at Wynockie, saw a flock of crows fluttering straugly Over some trees, and going to ascertain the cause, found the bedies of the, children—one of 'them lying under a rock and the other two upon it. They were only about two miles from home., They had starved to death, and were wasted away to mere skeletons. Theiffeatures were not recognizable, as the flesii.liTul 'been picked away by the birds but by their elothingtheir-parents identified the re mains of their offspring. This discov ery :effectually disposes of the , sensa tional reports that the children had been murdered by their parents or rela tives.

S. Senator. This con fession would be ample ,justification in any Jessuitical Court, wherein the end justifies ,the means ;•but: it will hard, ly answer in these times of strict polit icalintegrity. All of which goes to show that dis honesty and corruption are' not confined to State 'Legislatures; and calls touchy for an' elevation of the standard of morals by political parties. There is a bill pending in our Legis lature, which, if it pass, will very ma terially change our law relating to di vorces. The following is the important part of .ho pr,eponvtl-in-vr v: • "That in addition to causcs (4 divorces now' existing, every Court or Common Pleas shall have power and jurisdiction to grant and decree divorces front the hoed of fontrimony in nil cacao in which the Coact A(011151 4 opinion, upon the evidence totinnittod, Om i Ihn eninol of public morality will be promoted iltert+hy," We are not so squeamish as a great many, about the law of divorce. In deed we have no doubt that, in many cases, parties are forced by law to con tinuo in this relationship of marriage, long after it she'd in good conscience and morals, cease: Marriage is held to be a civil contract; 'yet unlike all others, it is held to be indissoluble, except by the course, and for some , cause, pointed out by law. Hitherto, •in our State, these causes have been confined to adultery, desertion, cruel andbarbarotis treatme t, conduct rendering the con dition f either party intolerable, and life burdensome, and certain other causes, which, at common law,rendered the contract of marriage 'void ab inilio. Now, for the Legislature to step in, and imy that 'the Courts shall' have power to grant • divorcs "in all Cases' in which if shall be off opinion, upon the evi dence submitted, that the cause of pub. lie morality *lll be prlomoted thereby," is equivalent to doing away almost en tirely with the distinguishing solemn 'l*y of the, relation, and placing it up on aplane, but little above the obliga tions of other contracts. It has been held that the contract of marriage- may be solemnized by the parties, if able to contract, same as any other civil 'contract ; and so liberal are the common law, and the laws of most, if not all civilized countries,. that the parties Are allowed to riialie a valid ' contract of marriage at a more tender Age than legally qualities them to make any 'obligatory agreement in relation to mere matters of business, The male at 14, and the female at 12 years, is able to consent In marriage; and even cohabi tation, without 'any positive proof of actual marriage, establishes the relation of husband and wife for many purpos es.' The law recognizes this sacred re lationship as founded in nature; but civilized society demands that .when once it is solemnized; either by the act of the parties ; agreeing between them selves, and ' consummating'Such agree ment brconjugal „cohabitation, or Ac cording to the forms of church or State the power of the parties to dissolve. the Contract shall be merged in the relation ship" itself; and whatever tends to put the poiver. of dissolution within the reach of the parties, directly or • indi rectly, must impair the sacredless of the relation itself, and be fraught with the most pernielotis evils to e(MAMtll:4 ty. 7 i\Mtittitioll of maralage is the one. la* Of civilized life, al,/ove ,and more sacred than all others—the one at traction which • builds up more of hu man hope, cultivates more of the high and true ambition In life to excel in all those things. which make sonic good and oth+s 'truly great, than all other objets acid'incentives combined.-- Founded in tbediVitter nature of man, as that" nature has been' developed, studiekind'inade known to Men thro' all the vicissitudes of the world's bis torY, it, hits stood thetest-of all , con flicts, and with its growing .ago-bus be comb more And more sacred and firmly established the hearts of: all, while other insti,tutioes have fallen- and be-- come. the prey of human:strife.

" ' ' Responsible parties in Philadelphia agree to furnish $4,000,000 In money to build the' oad; if the owners of lands along the route will contract to them 120,000 acres of such lands, reserving thopine.timber, at their present value, the consideration to be taken in stock of the proposed road: , This propoSit - is limited -to . expire at a fixed time; and witliin•a•lfeW days.'

Any man owning wild -lands on Pine Creek, Can better afford.to contribute One-balf of all he has 'than have no railroad.' If this project succeeds, the work will be commenced' nest ‘ spring,, and it is now expected that it Will be completed to Marsh Creek next year. If this road , is built, it • Will be one of the .great thoroughfares of the country ; as, if built at all at this time, it is the great need of a, more direct route from north to south, that will cause it to be built.— Such a road will open up a large tract of country, rich -in iron ore, in coal, and in timber; and it will add greatly to the wealth of Tioga County the mo ment-it is coMPleted. We have great faith in it.

This we need veis7 much. -WA tare it should seem, haw made this a better and shorter route from the great lakes south, than any other; and we have great faith to believe that the work wilt be completed within three years from this -time.'',. LETTER FROM MARRISBURG.. Ifertnisnusa "FM 119, /870; A week's absence from the State Cap itol, and enjoying the fine sleighing of Northern Pennsylvania, is ,my excuse for, not sending in.. my last weekly statement. Unlike Micawber, something has turned up in the Legislature. The bill known as the Police Bill has agitated people of all classes for two Sessions,, and being finally braight to a vote in the Houk., it was carried by a strict party vote, the Democrats all voting against it,• and there copies in the joke, being sent to the Governor for his approval, it was promptly'returned• with his veto, , and. then comes the charge. and countercharge from each side of the House of fraudfraud in its passage, aind fraud in Its defeat, 'corrup lion and money used upon , both sides, whereupon a committee was raised to investigate the matter and see how much Was used, and who got the most of it. It is expected , some rich develope ments will be unearthed, and the pee. pie may find out that even in our Halls of legislation, persons in high offi cial position; may be induced - to lean toward that party or side that furnishes the most of the. needftil. I am not 'making the above charge, but merely stating what was said in the House. Another bill that has excited the at tention 'of both houses is the bill knoWn as the " Sehoeppe Bill," or anamend ment to criminal law practices, allow ing the Supreme Court to review 'the whoie ease and confirm, or order a new trial. This bill was introduced to meet, the case of. Dr. Paul Sehoeppe, - noW un der sentence of death for • murder.— Counsel for - the prisoner, having ex hausted all their ingenuity in court, and writs of error, and in vain impor tuned the Governor to interfere by ex ecutive clemency, finally resorted to the Legislature, and the result was the incubation and passing of the above entitled bill. This bill met with the satne...fate at the hands of the Govern or, as th . iiiPolice ‘ Bill; •but. unlike that, the milk .of human kinA9 i ss was so preponderant, that the bill was imme diately passed over the veto, by the . constitutional majority, and at once be came a law ; and the chances now, in favor of the Doctor are as ten to one.— Whether the exigencies of the case re quired this interference of the Legis lature that justice might be done, Is more than I am prepared to say ;—suf flee it, that it works a radical change in all our highest criminal proceedings; and if It should result in saving the life of ono innocent being, then it will have accomplished . a great work. But when' we look abroad throughout our laud and see crime rampant; when -we see families and indiViduals murdered for a few paltry dollars; or when a man claims that his honor has been assailed by interfering with his domestic rela tions, and may cooly sheet down his fellew Man, and undertake to justify himself before nji intelligent and civ ilized world; thou I say it is high time for law and jostle; to assume, or even usurp its supremacy, and with a strong hand and blind tfl sympathetic appeals, say to _the criminal and, murderer, "Thus far and no farther : Hero shall thy.mad career be ended." He who p'erpetration_ of a' Crime, would'ponder long and well before he took thoJatal leap;'thit would end his days upon the scaffold.' It is'true that our sympathics go out to thepeor wretch Who, is abOut to' Suffer the extreme penalty at tbe law'; but let 'll . s rememper that he bad no sympathy:- for his victim, or i the 'widowed and fatherless, and knowing his, let'us close our ,eyes 'and, turn a oaf ear te all appeals for mercy. • The proposed - new county bill is at a 'dead lock. I take it that the peooe of Tioga CoUnty are ,net quite ready to part with all the mineral wealth of, the county and a large portionlof its terri tory, to gratify the caprice or vanity of Mr. Herdic, or any other individual. .The bill for' the new county of " Pe trolia," is likely to die the death of Its predecessor, even after _senator Lowery bad ,urged it .through the Senate ; mid from the ,toner of, ,the - *Rise, there is a ,dispositiori to give. all parts of, the dis tilota fair,,opportunity;to, _ex press , their opinions and preferences. . • - • • Fearing that the length of this com munication may tire the . patience of your readers, I bring it to a besty close by simply remarking, "How lernpits doesfugit.", • "X 27."

It bad been rph caned but once, but they did it well under the' circum stances; and had it not been for the confusion created, and continued, by some evil disposed persons in the audience, it would have been much l)otter rendered. They netted about fifty dollars. Tuesday, Feb. 22, was a day long to bo remem bered by the, working members of Covington lodge, No. 274, of I. 0. of 0. P., it being the day sot apart by them to dedicate their new ball.— The =emotes commenced at 12 o'clock, M., by thdadinission of the Grand Lodge often!, who took their proper stations; P. 0.

A thanks giving ode was sung, followed by a benediction by the chaplain. Rev. N. L. Reynolds, of Riess burg, then delivered an affective oration, upon the order at largo; followed by a history of this lodge from its inception to the present time. Af ter the reading, more music, and then an adjourn ment to the dinner table; set with an abundance of good things, which were enjoyed with evident rest. After an intermission of 1/ hour* they re turned to the ball, and listened to remarks from Major T. Anderson, of Morris Run, which were pungent, and pertinent to the subject. In the evening, a full session of the lodge, with an initiation, a lunch at ten o'clock, and, a general 4 t go home" afterwards. The lodge return their sincere thanks to their brothers of sister lodges who assisted them, and certainly will return the favor the first opportunity. A short disciplin of of the hall will finish. The building' is 28 x 69 two stories in height. Three entrances in front The two on either side, entering rooms 7x 11 Thence to lower ball, 28 x 49, intended for pub fib meetings of all kinds.

Our citizens are quite jubilant over the 'passage of the bill, and on the news reaching us, the old "Jadge" unfurled to the breeze the glorious stars and stripes from the top of the Troy House.--; Court Will probably be bold here sometime in March.l Mr. tiordio's 'bill for a now county has .un doubo gone "up the spout," or gone whore all such bills ought to go—under the table.

This is the rea son, principally, that all, Inon• do not lobe the friendship of the • same persons; delight, n the same objects; find dotafort'in the immesometles; have a course of life of the"same peculiarities; feel interested in the- same pleasures; nor' bare tendency to the same studied, • And, on Ails un limited variety depend the harmony, _peaceful ness and happinebs of the animated world. ' But every man, as if by Some kind of instinct, makes an investigtaion as to what interests him mostly, and what. ire, those things that contain the most of his happiness. In this research, wo often find him groping in a cloud of darkness; ho is noVeulliciently acquainted with tbo circum stances in which be stands; he does not take' a comprehensive view of things; ho has no know- , ledge of the history of the world; to enable him to compare eiromnstanoes that have been similar in their nature to those that exist at present;' his oyes, ore not keen enough; •nor has he a piercing end an culightenedMind to penetrate ,the mists, and clouds of the future, to 'observe tbo results of his present actions; and instead of bringing: his Inquiry to a close on' the delightful bill of hope and , prosperity, ho'often lands on tho miry, bogs of error and disappointment, and is lost in the vortex of the grave untimely. ' Yet, for all .that, the responsibilities of them misfortunes cannot bo thrown entirely and-at all times at his door, inasmuch as the circumstances that surround him sometimes aro more powerful In their Influence than he can resist, and his in elinations.are drowned, his power to bring them into operation is .vanquished, ho,losesr all self control, and is carried away me the bosom of the sweeping torrept,'he knows mit'Whither:„ Notwitifistandiog the unlimited 'variety of the seenes ' , nd objects of nature and their 'com binations e eroise a very powerful influence on Man, yet, undoubtedly, human society, in its va rious forme; has a stronger influence; and that the intensity of the effect or influence of the ob jects and scones of nature and forms of society, is, just in proportiha to the mattress, of the rela tion they bear to him, and, the length of time they present themselves before him, to 'practice and work out their impressions upon him. As a proof of the truthfulness of this proposition, we , can attribute to nothing else, nor have a better explanation, of that fondness that man gene rally has for the neighborhood in •whiolit be was born and bred, the country be belongs to, and the nation from which he is derived. „Not impropigy could we opmpareman in the etataeritirriney andminority, in the softness and tlexibillty or his wind, to an' image of wax or pottefr earth, of Which - the sculptor could Make a medeLof any figure his-ingenuity could devise, and the potter ,a ware of any form or shape be wishes. '' The youthful mind is as flexi ble Or that; and everything that comes in 'min tact with it,,makes a deep impression of its,own peculiar form upon it. It is the mother, it may be, that makes the first impressions on the mind of the infant; by endearing, kissing,. and prating with him, and showing her affection, her tender ness, and her love, by such en effective manner of gazing so often in his eyes: In a little 'while he grows cognizant of other membersof the fam ily and the objects around the house; afterthat, he extends his circle of acquaintance again, and becomes a member of an entirely now society , his • playmates withent,--with whom he spends much of his time, and participates in their ,pas sions and inolinationi, which aro so varied end often so different; to each other. AS he spends so many years in this' aeciotyi it can be said with out hositation—and.there are. abundance- of-in stances, to prove' the assertion—that its impres sions and influences are among the broadest linos in'hui character.. I have little doubt that the habits of the father and mother and the family, and the examples that are practiced continually in their presence among their playmates,' during 'this important period, form the cluiracters of most men. But besides that, there• are many other things that have great effect upon man;-- such as a certain form of education ; the laws of the country in which ho lives; the principles and customs of religion ; the manners of town and country; the quality of morals he sees tea ches him how to conduct hiinself; and the indi viduals he selects as friends' have influence upon him—whom he imitates in a groat many things in his mode of living.. , Notwithstanding that the human family in the majority live after the oustome, manners and ed ucation they have been trained to, yet • this rule' • ._......cem0n....5.,-......•• ..,...........0.. ma .......suc. - ptre. , sons in every age and country that have turned out of the great thoroughfare of the 'world, and have chosen paths entirely now for ,themselvee. One has abstained from this, and the other from that—its ways and opinions; and their attention has been called to some things that were now;— add these aro the men that Chant!) manners, give now forms to morals, and cause a revolution in the political and religious creeds of different ria tieing. But in consequence of prejudices, ens toms and the old manner of believing in things, the lives of these men have been a series of per secutions and sufferings; and every new branch of science that has been introduced to the world thus far, his suffered in the same way from the same causes. People as a rule are stubborn and contrary to receive or believe anything but what thoy'havo seen and heard before. It would be useless, at present, to nano any number of those rare persons and the things by which they have groWn eminent byintroduoing them to the world; but it can bo said of them, that they rank among the loftiest class ,of men of intellectual capaci ties that ever stood upon earth; and to them hu manity is indebted for di turbing its uniform condition ; for giving it asi ark of life in its wea-• ry stillness, and pushing on towyd a state more happy, enlightened and pure. Though the examples of oustomi t manners, morals, Am, form characters, yet then, that aro Misguided are not excusable for all their actions and conduct; for the reason that they grow ripe in intellect, increase in understanding, and in their long mixture with society collect sufficient. experiences to enable them to judge whether great many actions and condua' are in unison with the true interest and happiness of man,. in dividually, and human society at large., That I maybe undere total better in 'this . last prepaid: tion, 'I shall give a Yaw instances : llowever deep a deighboroood may have sunk in the do testable habit.of deunkenness,- the moat practi cal drunkard will readily admit, when sober and cool, of the hurtful efforts of excessive drinking and its consequences, on WO health of his body, and , on , his; family comforts, _by squandering 'his money for what is useless and noxious. The most wretched prostitute, that wastes her time in the most 'disgraceful Roddy, will sometimes condemn her mode of 'living, and approve of chastity, meekness and purity of morals, as vir tues, which some - possess—that aro delightful and agreeable to nil others. ,And where is the community -, that dine not talk frequently of the mall , or woman .that excels .most in _industry, peaoefalnesii, quietness and ,eleanlinests ? These and many more aro qualities in the human life,. that peiiple in general haVe found' out, through long experience, to produce the largest sum :of happiness and utility to the human family; and no person of common Benet+ is excusahle•for neg lecting or misusing them. Fathers; inasmuch as 'your examples; 'advice, and the education you approve of, have so much -influence in forming the.eharacter of your dn.' dren, it is of importance that the - examples are harmless and beneficial, the advice earnest and effectuelt to conideraot any bad influences you May timarising out of their bocial connections with .their playmates ' without; • the ( ' education 'pure in morals, and of a tendency to expanib'and elevate the mind, that it may separate truth rein error, and sharpen it as a proper instrume t to cut down the weeds of ignorance. • Mothers, keep nearoful watch over your chil dren; 800 where they spend .their time; what kind of habits and morals 'operate on them with- Out; beware of: using empty' words,' without meaning, and ,presumptuous; and' Wow exam pies, in temperament, in words, and in actions, that will qualify them to be amiable, useful and agreeable in every circle of.soolety.. Influence of Example. BY JENKINS itAnnyß, or stonnio RUN. By example, we mean conduct or an aotioa ; and all conduct and actions have their inflaeneo. It is an undeniable fact that every' man has an `influence in the world ; and it is a positive' truth that the conduct. and notions of people, leave their impressions and influences after them. . If we were to look on the conduct of disobedioneo in connection with the human family, how as topishing was the .influence of the first example of it, which can be traced back-to the first man that ever lived upon earth:' There 'we find that very man settin* an example before his offspring of, disobedience to his.

It resulted in filling our country with cripples, with widows. an4l with orphans; it re sulted in coloring the ancient soil of'Virginia With human gore; in causing ten hundred thou sands of our, fellow beings to fall'a ,prey to the swOrd and the 'cannon; and the influence of their disabedieriee is the cause' that the country is groaning under so heavy a burden of taxation in these,days. ~ . If wo were to'look again on ( disobedience in its relation with families, how important is the example, of the: eldest 'ohild , in Saying no to his parOnts, on the yonttger.• The example encour ages him to do the same thing.

Such was the: ViCar of Landovery, who pnblished - his well known hook, Calloftly ayntry,, (The Welshman's Candle) i and although it was, no better than a rush candle, compared with the great lominarles of_ to,day,_yet its faint -light dispersed some of •the darkness. After that, came Mr,. Charles, of Bala, who gave snob an - ox^ eollent example to the nation,:by settingtipthat beneficial institution, tho Sunday School.

' _ i There tlro many good examples given to us as a nation, which were intended to Waned° us to stretch out our antis and grasp the fruits of knowledge and education. lf wo take that in stitution, the Eisteddfod, (the groat literary in stitution of. Wales,) the main. object it has in view is to - set good examples before the Welsh nation. For the Eisteddfod belongs entirely to the Welsh pttople, and no_ other nation .has an institution similar to it - . But whet I was going to say was this ; Ahat.theshief objeot, was bad in view was to set good examples before the nation, thatit might march onward in an enlightened path, and the stretch their aims wide out for knowledge; and • I .am glad* to say that the old nation has felt the influence of such exam ples for hundreds of years. .We must admit .at the same time that some mean and doubtful Oa. rooters have been in connection with our honor able Institution, who nearly brought it to dine rite, by causing dark, and heavy cdonds to ati pear,that were spots 'on the" brightness or glory. • We know that it was net conducted rightly, when held and nursed in the miry bogs of beer houses. We know that it showed neex ample, that any good could ho expected - front, when ' the chief - adjudteatore - orthe ".riiteMoci were glutloni and drunkards. And we know as well, that only mischief and evil could be' look. ed for from it, when its most influential commit. tees and smartest judges sat for days, in the pot houses, after the..high festival/ to mallet the benefits of its funds on the altar of-Bacchus.= But that time has gone by now, and the institu tion has cleansed itself from such an unworthy people. The-mea t eminent reen'of the letvtion. have opine fortiard to give bettor examples than ' the low class' we have been speaking about.-- The examples that7good men like Iliraethog, Emrys, Emlyn Jones end IslwYn, and a host of others, too numerous to mention at present, that advocate the Eisteddfod in the old country, and I Edmyved, Deed Emlyn,lowyneddvardd and Boa Glen Twrcb, in this country, have so strong an influence on the old honorable Cymric institu tion, that it makes tho brightness of its glory shine now as it did in tho days of old r and its influence drives the darkness away and makes, ignorance disappear, as do the rays of - the sun the morning mist.
