FIRE ENGINES RENDERED UNNECESSARY.
l-The citizens of the borough of Tamaqua,
Pa, have Just completed their water works,
AT n. cost of S2S, 900, which, besides furn-
ishing the village with abundance
of pure water, will be highly valu"ble. in

Rabbit Run, distance of two. miles, with a

by attaching an ordinary hose to fire plug,
the water is readily thrown over the highest
house in the borough, thus rendering fire
engines altogether unnecessary. -

THE CHARGE oE MURDER AGAINST LEA

the" Monk of La Trappe," had been commit
ted to Jail at Pardeeviile, on a charge of
murder. The Milwaukee Sentinel says:
Mr.. Leahey, (who once leetured in NIL
waukie, which caused mob among the
! Catholics some two years since, became
suspicious Of an Irish friend by the name Of
Manly, of having too much intimacy with
his (Leahey's) wife, and sued him a few
weeks AGO, but failed to convict him. On
the 25th ult., they had another trial, and
Manly, was again cleared; when tLeahey
drew out his revolver and shot Manly, caus-
ing his death in a few moments. Leahey al
SO shot twice at Morton, Squire, ,ef Eardee-
Vile: once he missed him, the second time
the ball passed through his clothes, grazed
his body and lodged in his arm. All Of this
occurred in the court room, while the room
was crowded. Leahey has had his examin-
alton, and committed to iail ior murder. d

Mississippi has visited EastpOrt, st, John,(N.
3D. Halifax, the Magdalen Islands, Prince
Edwards Island, and other ports Of the
shores Of British Amelica and the Gull Of
st. Lawrence. Commodore Perry was de-
spatched to the coasts by the President to
investigate the circumstances attending the
recent seizure Of some fishing vessels be-
longing to the United States by British cruis-
ers. He held conferences cn the subject
with Sir George F. Seymour, the English
Admiral, with the Governors Of New Bruins
wick and Nova Scotia, and other public Of
fcers. Doubtless the explanations given at
these interviews were of satisfactory na-
ture The reception given tothe commodore
and the officers Of the ship, at the ports they
visited, wns of the most cordial and friendly
character. During her cruise the Mississip.
pi saw nearly FIVE hundred sail of fishing
vessels, and boarded number. The Off

Congress adjourned to-day the first time

GEN. PIERcE.-We take the foil wing ex-
tract from late number of Parson Brown
lows paper, the dearly-beloved ally OF Loco
focoism in this campaign: ~.
s.Whcn Gen. Pierce was first elected to
Congress rrom his own State, he was drag
upon his party. 1t was in 1888, when the
General Tsctft system prevailed in New
Hampshire. Pierce fell more than three hou-
sand uotpS below the average vote OF his par
tv; and il the parties would have been any
thing like divided, he would have been
shomufuliy beaten" ~.. t' .s .e.
We won'tvouch for the truth of this, us
we have nnt the tables al hand; but some OF
our I.ocofoco friends, who are posted up,
will please contradict their ally's statement,
if they can.
The SETTLEMENT OF THE FISHERY QUEs-
TIoy The New York Albion, of Saturday
exnressed its belief of the rumor that the
fishery difficulty is settled byEngland having
conceded the American construction OF the
treaty and limited the reserved rights oil the
North American provinces to the extent o'
three marine miles from the shore, adding
/ however:
.sThe British Government Gs we distinctly
said last week, has not backed out; it remains
TO be seen whether it has imprudently or iii
adyisedIy given away a certain right, o
which it should have considered itself rathe
the trustee than the possessor. More remain
behind"
The Liverpool Times rejoices at the sci
tlement of the dispute, but says:
"The British colonists, for whose espcci'
benefit this rupture with the United State
was sought, and on whose account we ser
: armed vessels to the scene OF the trespas
: will be surprised to learn that the affair NJ
/ been settled by our surrender OF rights, IN

A SPnESpID GALPHIN.--Wm., HI. -Gwin,
SAYS the Ohio State Journal, the LocOfoco
Senator from California, who is at the head
ofthe Locofoco National C ommittee, for dis
tribnting documents, and electioneering for
Pierce and King, is just the man to ring the
charge Of Galphanism against the Wigs.
This Gwin, on the 4th of March, 1851, at
the close Of the 3lst Congress, with other
Senators, was requested to remain few
days by the President, to attend to some ex-
ecutive business, and, in addition to his eight
dollars per day, he charged, and actually
drew from the Treasury the enormous sum
of "four thousand and eight dollars as COIL
structive mileage" that is, he imagined that
between the adjournment of Congress, on
the evening of the Sd Of March, and the spec
ial meeting of the Senate, on the morning of
the 4th of March, he had travelled all the way
to California and back, and for this imagiR-
airy journey, he charged and drew this four
thousand and eight dollars for mileage. The
people will please remember that, for the
actual journey lie did make to Washington
from California, and back again, he charged
and drew his pay in addition to this sum-
The four thousand dollars was just somuch
gouged out Of Uncle Sans pocket, without a
particle of consideration therefor.
This is the man who feels so bad because
the Secretary Of the Treasury paid the inter-
est on sum of money that was used in our
glorious Revolutionary War. He is just
the man to be a great patriot on such sub
ject. Let the people bear these things in
remembrance. :..-- n =. y ...-
