Another veto Ib expected to-day, as It is said the President disapproves of tha legislative bill which was sent to lilin on Friday last. A persistent eirort Is being made at Washington to bring about a restoration of the Income tax, and It is even likely that the promoters of such legislation will have things, much their own way. The South is in the ascendant just now, and that section Is as anxious to restore the income tax as It was to reduce the duty on tobacco, and for the same rea son. The announcement of a two per cent, dividend by the Pennsylvania railroad will be pleasant news to thousands of people in this and other States who have been holding on to the favorite stock through good and evil report until now. The increased profits of the road have justified this move, and now that' the old time fashion has been once more inaug urated, we hope it will be a long time before any cause arises to forego it. The two per cent, livldend Is equivalent to one dollar per share of stock, and will require $1,377,500. Rail Road Leased. On last Wednesday afternoon the Philadelphia & Beading Railroad Com pany took possession of the North Pennsylvania and Bound Brook rail roads, under lease for nine hundred and ninety-nine years. It is said that the principal reason for leasing these lines is to secure an independent outlet for coal by rail to the waters of New York Bay, and thus materially increase its coal tonnage. The present cash cost of transporting the company's coal to New York is 85 cents per ton, but by its oiew route it can be done readily for 50 cents per ton, which, computed on a million and a half tons shipped anually, is a great saving to the company. Although it has not attracted so much attention as some others, the bill relating to the transfer of cases from State to Federal courts is as dangerous a measure as any which have been lately brought forward, whiuh is saying a good deal. At present if a Federal officer in the execution of his duty lays himself open to indictment for some penal of fence, he can demand trial in a Federal court. It is now proposed to do away with this, and no great shrewdness is necessary to perceive what the conse quences would be. Suppose, for instance, a revenue officer in making a raid upon some illicit still in Kentucky on Ten nessee should be driven to commit hom icide, he would, if this law was passed, be tried In the local court, and the kind of justice he would be likely to get from a local jury can be imagined. Under such a system it would be simply im possible to carry out the laws. A Check for One Cent. George S. Gorham closed Lis accounts as Secretary of the .Senate on Tuesday. ' After eleven years' service,during which he has disbursed many millions for the United States Senate is the most expen sive legislative body on earth he closed his account for the first time. It was - found at the department that there was one cent owing him. In an official let ter, which had to be copied, recorded, numbered, etc., the United States Treas urer notified Gorham of the balance on settlement, and requested that he would draw his check for the amount. With the same precision as though $1,000,000 was at stake the check was drawn. A messenger conveyed it to the Treasury, The books were searched to see If the amount was to Gorham'scredit,and then the cent was paid a big copper one, which Mr. Gorham proposes to keep for luck forever. It seems that if he had not drawn the balance it would have gone on forever among the liabilities of the Treas ury, and occasioned any amount of trouble to the clerks. Wednesday's Storm. ' Beading, May 21. A violent rain and hail storm, accompanied with high wind, passed over this city and surrounding country this afternoon. Beports from different parts of the coun ty say considerable damage was done to fruit trees, grain crops, fences, etc., and in several instances buildings were struck by lightning. In the city no damage Is reported, excepting the flood ing of cellars with water. Fruit trees were also more or less damaged. The storm also passed over Lltlf, Ephrata, and other points in Lancaster county, considerably Injuring fruit trees, blow ing down fences, eto. In Lancaster the house of Mr. Lyte, business manager of 'The Examiner aud Express," was struck by lightning and set on Are. The roof of the building, and also of the two adjoining buildings, was burned off be fore the flames were extinguished. The inmates of the house escaped without Injury. A Woman Cured by Prayer. The Bridgeport Standard says: The quiet village of Stratford, Conn has been having a little sensation on Its own hook in the healing way. The matter has been kept very quiet, and until now the particulars of the case, have never been made public. A widow of that place, aged 42, has been confined to her bed for about three years with a painful disease, contracted, as it is supposed by overwork. She had been treated by a number of prominent physicians with out success, and had almost despaired of relief. Hearing of the prayer cures of Mrs. Mix, of Wolcottvllle, she began thinking about calling upon her for assistance, and made up her mind to do so, when the thought occurred to her that what Mrs. Mix could do by prayer and faith she also might do by the same means. She resolved to try the experi ment, and for about a week prayed that she might be made whole. At last, she claims, her prayer was answered. She felt a peculiar thrill run through her,and Immediately afterward she arose from her bed and walked. She called out, and her friends and neighbors rushed in, and were surprised at the sight of the sick woman standing upon her long unused feet and able to walk. The lady afterward attended church, manifesting great joy at her sudden recovery. This was about three weeks ago, and she has since remained as well as ever. She had been under medical treatment in New York and New Haven, but had abandoned it some time before her sud den cure. A Bride's Letter. Score one against that all-conquering hero, the coachman I One, and number one. He appeared in San Francisco a mysterious, distinguished stranger, who represented himself as a Mexican of vast estates. A San Francisco lady yielded to his wooing, married him, and discovered that he attended to a physi cian's horse and buggy for twenty dol lars a month. Strange woman that she was, she immediately left him, after having written him the following breezy explanation : " I am deeply sorry that hunger and other circumstances over which I have no control compel me to write you this note. I find that you are utterly uuable to provide for me, and as I am at present unable to provide for you, I will have to leave you, and return to that happy home whence you stole me, and once more fill it with the sunshine of love. Had I known that you expected me to live on the morning breezes for breakfast, the trade winds for dinner, and the evening fogs for supper, I would have honestly told you that my consti tution would not be equal to It, even where the atmosphere is so odorous and substantial as in this hotel in Tar Flat, and would have declined to have become your wife. If you shall ever marry an other lady, I trust you will remember the advice of your first wife, and that the domestic menu will consist of pud dings made of plums rather than of tne nortn wma, ana pies or pumpkins rather than of zephyrs In short , that you will provide her with a bill of fore rather than a bill of air. If you meet me on the street hereafter pass me by as a perfect stranger, for if you do not I will be compelled to give you the cut uirect. xour wile, mauy." Gagged and Robbed.

Leslie, living on a farm not far from that city, who has several times of late sunk wells to a depth of forty or fifty feet, but not only is unable to find water, but the only thing he can get from the bores Is a strong draft of air, capable of whisk-' ing away board covers, etc., like a hurri cane.
