I" Mrs. Crane has much to answer for,p he
returned, a strange expression of bitter regret
arising to his quivering lips. She has part

You again, and always as the best woman who
has ever crossed my path in life WHO was, and
still ought to be, the dearest But that must
not be- / am married man, Millicent." .
= They had been standing close to the bench,
neither having sat but now Millicent sank
down upon it. In spite of her efforts to retain
calmnesS in his presence at this announcement,
she felt the color forsake her parted lips, and
her frame began to shake as if she had the
ague.
al thought you we've irrevocably lost to
me-" proceeded Mr.. Crawford, and my feel
ings towards you were a compound of rage
and bitterness. In New York l met with a
young lady, the daughter Of one of our cor
respondents there, who took my fancy-not
my heart, Millicent, that had died out with
you. Partly in the indulgence of my adm
ration, partly to crafty the evaporation L
felt toward you, | married her, and have
brought her home to the home that was to
have been yours She is with me here to-day"
Millcent stood up again. She streve still
for calmness, though she knew that life's sum
shine was gone forever. The bell was ringing
for the passengers to take their places, and
she offered her hand in farewell, to Mr.. Crau-
ford
"Am justified in your heart 2" she asked.
% Yes Better, though, for that heart, that
you had not been, for it has lodged regret
in it that will never pass away. God bless
you, Nlilcent" he whispered, as he wrung her
hand in his" God bless you my dearest, and
render your future destiny happy one-hap-
pier than mine will be !" -
He turned away to the platform, and Mil
liccnt slowly followed She saw him bring
out lady, young and very handsome, from
the waiting room, place her in a carriage, and
follow her in. Micent found her way into
another. AS the train moved slowly past the
station, Mllicent saw her book lying on the
bench. She had forgotten it, so it was lost.
Lost what mattered that, or any other loss,
to a heart, sick as hers was, with its excess of
anguish?
And so it is, in this world. That the COM
mission of one crime will entail wide field Of
consequence, more than, at the time, can be
suspected will pertain to it. When Philip
Crane lapsed into guilt, to stop up the fruit
of his reckless extravaganza, he little thought
that he was involving the lfes happiness of
one who was dearer to him than even his fol-
ly-his sister Millicent.

s1~ The appointment of WARREN J. WooD-
WARD of Wilkes Barre, as President Judge of
the new district formed out of Wyoming, Co.
lumbia and Sullivan has given great ofense
to the editor of the Tunkhannock Worth Br0acA
Democrat. 1t appears that the district was
intended to benefit Mr.. LITTLE, of that place
and to the editor of the Democrat, ait seems
a little strange that no town but Wilkes-B Barre
can furnish suitable material for Judges and
Congressman"
The editor, who was a member of the last
Legislature, also intimates that the act as pass
ed was not to take effect until after election :
but by some underhanded work, was altered to
go into operation on the first of June.
The friends of Mr.. LITTLE say they will not
have matter forestalled by the appointment.
and give notice of their intention to press Mr..

THREE MAIL BAGS BURNED.-On Tuesday
the 18th inst, three mail-bags were destroyed
by fire on the Catawissa Railroad and two or
three others were damaged Those entirely
burned contained the letters and papers mailed
at Williamsport, Lewisburg and Danvile, for
Philadelphia, and is thought the number of
letters lost exceeds four hundred. The first
discovery of the fire in the mail car was as the
train approached Mainville, below Cattawissa.
The Agent, Mr.. Houggawout, had occasion to
go into one of the passenger cars, and when
ne returned, some ten minutes afterwards, the
car was burning vigorously. How the fire oc-
CURED, was mystery The train was hurried
on to the nearest water-station, where the fire
was extinguished. In attempting to save the
mail bags, the Agents hands were burned in
a shocking manner.

No I. S. SENATOR YET FROM CALIFORNIA
The California Legislature agreed, by joint re-
solution, to dissolve on the 2lst April. In the
House joint resolution was adopted to go in
to joint Convention to elect a u. S. Senator.

Ra5a The Stockholders of the Erie and
Northeast Railroad Company, met in Erie on
Thursday last, to consider the subject of ac-
cepting the provisions of the act passed at the
last session of the Legislature, restoring the
rights and privileges of the Company. The
act was of course accepted, and We learn from
the Erie papers, that it was resolved to ap-
point engineers to survey the route of the
Pittsburg and Erie road, which, by the pro
visions Of the late act, the Erie and North
East Company, are to assist in building.

not space for an abstract of the speeches Of
those gentlemen. But all our citizens will
we trust have an opportunity of hearing them
soon.
When the Evansville steamboat delegation
left, Gen. Greathouse was speaking. The ut
most harmony prevailed at the meeting, not
withstanding the differences OF opinion on the
subject Of the nomination. We trust now that
the foes Of Old Lineism in this District, and
the foes of its true representative. Judge Lock
hart, are united, and that they will work to-
gether zealously for the defeat Of all which it
becomes every true American in the Disttric
to oppose.

4 Kick in the Rear.

The Old Liners were terribly disappointed
that the West Franklin meeting took no steps
towards bringing out third candidate for Con-
gress. They have become slightly scared in
view of the gathering harmony for Veatch, as
they relied upon this new nomination to secure
Lockhart certain success, and with but little
labor. But we can assure them that not only
was nomination not made, nor any steps
taken at West Franklin to secure nomina-
ton, but at the close Of the meeting the Fill
more men present seemed to a man opposed
to such movement. Of the hundreds pres
ent there were a ve1y few who thought they
would not vote for either candidate, but if the
truth could be known, of all that large assem-
bly,, there will probably not be three men who
will lend their aid to the election of Lockhart,
even so far as not to vote against him. To Sc
cure perfect harmony, a resolution was per-
mitted to pass of no practical effect, except to
be used by our enemies If the meeting at
West Franklin had been of the whole District
this resolution would probably not govern the
action of single man.

We would call the attention of Draymen
and others interested to the fact, that the
law prescribes they shall take out licenses be-
fore the first day of August, and that regular
publication to that effect has been made in
this paper by the City Clerk. But before
commencing legal proceedings, he again warns
those who have not taken out their licenses
as draymen, to call at his office and do so i'm
mediately. They may save trouble and costs
by so doing.

ARRAY and Stabbing,

An unfortunate occurrence took place at
West Franklin last Thursday evening, result
ing in the severe if not fatal injury Of Mr.. H.
Clay Stinson, Deputy Postmaster at this city.
After the barbecue there was a ball in the
evening, which number Of our young people
remained to attend. Everything was going
on peaceably, when about IL o'clock Mr.. Stn-
son went out Of the ballroom and seated him
self on a neighboring bench to get cool before
starting home. He was approached by a man
named Leonard Ross. of White county, H..
who appeared to have conceived some grudge
against Stinson or was making himself tool
of others Mr. S. politely addressed Ross
who replied rudely, and in a moment wanted to
fight Mr.. S. He told him he did not want to
fight Ross said he would knock him down if
he cot up Stinson again told him he did not
want to fight, that he had lady with him.,
| &C., but promised to satisfy him at Evansville
the next day Ross insisted on fighting and
1 told him he would slap him if he did not get
up He did slap Stinson, who arose and
knocked Ross down, and gave him a severe
whipping. Once or twice afterwards Ross at
tackled him, and met with the same treatment,
Mr. Evans, our city Marshal at one time held
Stinson while Ross struck him in the face, then
letting him go pulled out pistol and threat
ened to shoot any one who interfered, evident
ly thinking Ross would whip the other.
Evans and Stinson were not friends. (These
statements we are making are from Mr.. Stin-
son himself, and therefore mainly correctly
While Evans was holding Stinson, Ross stab
bed him with large knife in the back or side,
just below the ribs, glancing upward. The
act was seen by several persons. Mr.. Gavltt,
Sheriff of this county, was holding Ross, as
we understood from himself after Stinson de-
clared himself stabbed. He let Ross go, who
ran off, pursued by one citizen. Him he de-
tered from farther pursuit by threatening
with knife Mr. Gavitt afterwards looked
oUer the taUerp for the man, and in a short
time started for home with the Marshal, hay
ing made no further effort to arrest the D11t'-
derer, as the man was then supposed to be, al
though Mr.. Stinson is yet alive, and WIS yes

one gentleman says at l o'clock. Through
a friend he got horse, and was probably in

give voice to the various rumors relative to the
participation of Gavitt and Evans in this mat
ter. Citizens appear to have their own opin
ions and to be expressing them very freely
There. are reasons and good reasons for sus-
pecting that not only was Ross, who has the
character of being quiet and not quarrel
some man, instigated to this course by others,
but that these officers helped him escape by
bringing him to Evansville We may have
more to say on the subject tomorrow. Mr..
Stnson was in a precarious condition last

Another Post Office Circular.

The following circular was received few
days ago by newly appointed Postmaster in
Warrick county, who. happening by mistake
to be an american, has no particular use for
the document:
COMMITTEE Rooms. NATIoTAL pFMocEArc GosH9gTEE
To the Postmaster at
SIR: The Democratic National Commi ttee
respectfully request you to send in, at your
earliest Convenience, separate lists
1. OF English names,
2. OF German, Swedish, Dutch, Norwegian
and French names of persons who receive their
letters through your Post Office, for the pur-
pose Of sending them Democratic documents,
calculated to promote the election Of the DEM
ocratic Nominees for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency of the United States.
Very respectfully,
CHAS JAS. FAULKNER.
ADDRESS: Hon. Chairman Nat. DEM Resident
! Committee
We have seen this precious circular before.
Postmasters are in this requested to watch
the directions on all letters taken from their
offices-keep record of the names, and send
separate lists of persons from each foreign ma
ton, to the Democratic Comm tee at Wash
ington, so that systematic effort ut corrupt
ing these individuals may be made by sending
them Democratic documents to promote
the election Of Buchanan. Now can imagin-
alton conceive the les deception and hnmbug-
gerry, which will be palmed off upon the for
eign born in these documents printed in their
own language, and thus measurably safe from
the exposure of our own papers And Post
masters, officers Of Government, are to make
themselves tools in this dirty work. Who
doubts but that Government officers are also
handsomely ble1 to pay the expenses of this
work The bleeding" letter we lately pub
lished, signed M. Perrin Brown, and address
ed to Postmasters, calling upon them to re-
NIT certain per centage Of their perquistes
to assist the Democratic party in this cam
paign, if they wished to keep their Offices
does not sound improbable although the pa
rentage of it is denied by the party. 1t is but
a part of the system of which the above cirr
cular is feature. We think Postmasters
may be better employed than watching letters
for the purpose of forwarding the names Of
foreign born citizens to Washington, to be-
come recipients of Democratic liberality in the
way of lying documents. They had better
be watching the mails a little closer, and en-
deavoriug to lessen the cause for the loud com
plants of the people.
