MURDER, Arson AND SUICIDE 1T is report
ed, upon authority which appears to be reliable,
that within a few days past, in or near Slater
vile, Tompkins Co, a young woman was kill
ed by two young men while attempting to pro-
duce an abortion that her body was then
concealed in a barn ; that as q further means
of concealing their crime, the young men set
fire to the barn during the night, which was
consumed with all its contents, the bones of
the young woman being found in the ashes !;
and that one of the guilty parties committed
suicide in the morning, under the pressure of
a guilty conscience, and apprehensions Of a
more dreadful fate, whilst the other was ar
rested and taken to jail to await his trial.
Our informant is unable to give us the
names of any of the parties but we think
there can be no doubt of the truth of the re-
port in all its material particulas.-Oueg

No Speaker yet is the exclamation upon
every ones lips, upon the arrival of the mall
nor do we see any immediate prospect of the
organization of Congress, unless the disposition
on the part of the Anti-N Nebraska members,
who refuse to vote for Banks, to make expla-
nations, be deemed a symptom of their finally
voting right. The last ballot stood Richard
son, 73; Banks, l06 Fuller, 38 +; Scatter
ing, 6.
The vote for Banks stands firm, and will not
waver, his friends being determined to throw
the responsibility of the election of a dough-
face, should one be successful, upon the r~ecreant
Anti Nebraska men, who stand out. The
friends Of Richardson, say they will not com
promise so the question is very far from a
solution. We believe that Banks will ultimate
ly be chosen.
The present protracted struggle and failure
to elect, is not without its precedent. In lS49,
HOWELL COBB was chosen upon the 63d bal
lot, on the 22d day of December, under the
plurality rule. u

COUNTY Musical AssoCIATIoN.-In purSu-
ance of the adjournment and notice, a meeting
of the Association was held at the Court House,
in the borough of Towanda, on Monday even
ing, Sept. 5, 1855, CHARLES r. COBURN
President, in the chair. On motion, WIZ. c..
BoGARr was appointed Secretary.
On motion it was resolved that the Associa-
ton hold a Convention during the last week
of January next.
On motion, Messrs. E. T. Fox, j. G. Town
er, f. c. Wells, w. G. Bogart, d. S. Pratt,
and c.. r. Coburn were appointed a committee
to confer with and employ, W. B, BRADBURY,
of New York City, to conduct the musical ex-
%crcises of the Convention at its meetings in
January next ; and the said committee also to
make the necessary arrangements for holding
said convention.
In pursuance of the above, the committee
authorized the Secretary to confer with Mr..
Bradbury, who will meet the Convention in
the borough of Towanda, on Tuesday the goth
day of January next. The Convention will
continue in session four days under the imme-
date direction of Prof. Bradbury.
The committee herewith give notice to the
members of the Association, and all others ir.-
terested in the advancement of Church Music
and the science of vocal music generally, in
this County and vicinity, that every care will
be taken to make the sessions of the conven-
ton deeply interesting and pleasant to those
who attend. Arrangements will be. made for
the board and accommodation of the members
at low rates, to prevent the imposition of ex-
orbitaht prices. AS considerable attention will
be paid during the sessions to the subject of
church and choir singing, a rare opportunity
will be offered to choristers, choirs and others
interested in this important department for I'M
proyement and information, which it is hoped
will not be suffered to pass unembraced. Cir
culars will be distributed in due time with a
detailed statement of the arrangements.
By order of the committee. I'll

EaE~ Mr.. A. II. Simmons, one of the pre-
prietors of The Philadelphia Ledger, died in
that city on Sunday morning, after a brief
illness. He leaves a wife and several children,
and a large fortune which he has amassed with
in a few years by the unexampled increase of
The Ledger as a vehicle for business advertis-
ing. Mr.. Simmons was a native of the State
of Connecticut, and after working many years
in n York as a journeyman printer and press
man, removed to Philadelphia, where in con-
nection with Mr.. Swain and Mr.. Abel, he es-
tablished the first successful penny paper,
which has now attained a daily circulation of
$4,000.

A FINANCIAL CAUSE.-THE members of Con
gress are beginning to feel a financial crisis in
their breeches pockets. They can get no mo-
ney till the organization is effected, and as ma
ny of them had no more spare cash than was
necessary to carry them to Washington City,
they have since been living on tick, LAMBDA
dies and clearinghouse keepers are getting
importunate for the first instalment of their
board bills, bat the members have nothing to
give them but promises to pay till they receive
their mileage. This latter circumstance may
probably bring the members to terms on the
Speakership quicker than any conscientious
scruples about wasting so much public time
and money.
