Hon. ALEX. EvANs.-The Was hing
ton correspondent Of the N. Y Herald,
in late number, made the following
reference to the Light House system,
and to our talented representative in
Congress:
AT one fell swoop Congress has or.
dered change in the whole Light
house system of the United States. The
President is authorized to appoint a
board OF scientific and military men to
take charge of the superin.endence OF
lights. The present system of lighting
is said to be obsolete; and the new effor t
is TO introduce gradually the improved
lights of England and France. This
great reform has been effected by the
Hon. Alexander Evans, of Nd, who
carried the measure through Congress
against an opposition of ignorance and
prejudice. To Evans ability, eloqu-nce,
and energy, is the country and COM
merce indebted for this greatest act of
the session."
In the Norfolk Argus we'find the tol-
lowing, in referenc to the Light House
question and Mr.. Evans:
1.-The Light House is full of reality
and full of poetry. 1t comes home to
our business and our BOSOM Maryland
may we'll be proud OF her representative,
the Hon. Alexander Evans, for the
prominent and successful part he bore
in its accomplishment. Without his el-
oquence and his science, this important
event would have been lost. Solitary
and alone, he combatted the whole
House on this question, and finally car
rled it BY his unconquerable energy and
thorough knowledge Of the science.
Mr. Evans has won the laurel of the
session"

vile; and Oh how they held up their
hands with holy horror because he had
been known to play at cards. Now,
by their own showing: they havea gam
bler-a cowardly gambler for their can
didate, and yet they are supporting h i'm
might and man.
We call the attention of the reader
again to the fact, that these charges are
of locofrco origin, and that the Wings
are in no wise accountable for them.

D~We extract the following yarns from
the Lycoming Gazette. We do not know
about believing the last:
"There was Juror in attendance upon
Court in this place during the past two
weeks, who, though living in Lycoming
county all the time, has not been in town
before since the year 1872, when, as We
see by an old Gazette in our possession,
John Cummings was Sheriff Of Lycoming
county, and by Sheriff's sale with his
name attached, that Bradford county was
then part and parcel of old Lycoming.
Since the recital of this occurrence, how.
ever, we are informed upon creditable au-
thority of still more striking instance Of
contentedness and love of home. There
is a man living in Union county, within
four miles of the town Of New Berlin
wealthy and respected, who has never in
his life time visited that place, although
be is now between forty and fifty years
old. When asked by traveller in what
direction the town lay, he pointed out the
road, but when more particular inquiries
respecting distance, location, &C., we're put
to him, he answered "he did not know
and his neighbors confirmed the truthful
ness of his statement that he had never
visited the borough in his life, though he
had lived on the same homestead since
his birth"
