REPUBLICAN DIPLOMACY.

Elihu Burrtt makes some sensible remarks
on the gim-crackery in which our Ministers
always rig themselves on every official oca-
sion. Why don't they initiate DR.. franklin,
and 20 in plain Republican costume
So thinks Elihu, as may be seen by the fol-
lowing extract from one of his late let
ters -
at does strike me rs directly misrepre-
sen,ing the dignity and duty of the great
American Republic, when its representative
at foreign courts put themselves iuto cooked
hats and mongrel military coats, and "tights'
of bediddled plush, and hung with long awk-
ward swords which they would be ashamed
to wear at home, and take upon them other
airs and boyish gewgaws, in order 10 dance
attendance on either royalty or aristocracy.
hope the people of the United States will
look TO this matter, and will demand that
those whom they send abroad TO represent
their natou's dignity, shall lcomport themselves
consistently with their vocation, and don
no livery before Kings or Queens, or the mi
nor potcnta,es or principai,ies of Europe, on
any occasion. So strongly does the impro-
priety of this department take hold of my
own mind, that, if were President of the Uni
ted States, would send no minister 10 any
foreign court which should require him al
any time 10 appear in any other than that
plain civilian dress which the constitution
and customs of our country prescribe TO him
who receives the nations guests at the White
House in Washington.

20 CONGRESS will assemble again in
few weeks. We trust that it will be a
working session, and that some of the pub
lie acts that the people are deeply interest,"
ed in, will be taken up and passed
Among them is the Postage bill. The
Country Press should be vigilant that their
Interests are not neglected, as none of the
bills yet reported contain the provision for
the free circulation of papers within the
county or within 30 miles of the place of
publication although large majority Of
the members are in its favor, and we feel
confident no bill can pass without that or a
similar provision.

% STEALING PoULTRy.-There are
some individuals in our town, who, we
presume, live on no other flesh than the
poultry they steal from the yards and pens
of the citizens OF this place. Fully the

hands of our chicken thieves, the meanest
of all kinds of thieves, not even excepting
the sheep thief. We shall keep a watch

ANOTHER FIRE AT NORTHUMBERLAND

ANOTHER FIRE AT NORTHUMBERLAND
On Saturday night, at 81 o'clock, fire
broke out in the extensive stabling attached
to the hotel formerly kept by Mrs. With
ington. The strong glare OF light reflected
upon our spires and house tops brought out
our firemen. The Washington and Good
Intent companies, with the apparatus of the
latter, set out at full speed and arrived at
the scene in less than twenty minutes after
the alarm was sounded. The stables were
filled with combustibles and blazed with
terrific spendor. The flames spread with
rapidity and by the time our firemen reach
ed the ground had consumed the stable, and
Scouts Smith shop, and had completely en-
yeloped the residence of Marks B. Priest
ley. Here the progress of the fire was,
with extreme exertion, stayed. The ad-
joining house, frame building, and distant
but ten feet from the burning one, was sew
eral times on fire.
In the building in which the fire origi.
mated, were consumed four fine horses, and
several sets of harness belonging to VIM
II. Thompson the stage sleighs of A. E.
Kapp & Co. The greater part of Scouts
tools were lost as also much property in
his shop for repairs. Mr.. Priestley's fur
nlture was principally saved.
This is the fifth fire at Northumberland
this year at which our fremen have rem
dered essential service. In the face of this
fact it will seem scarcely credible that a

present term of the Court, we are inform
ed, not only refused TO sanction but VIC.

Commissioners to repair the house, belong.

them by the Council, and they were totally
