EE-The London Star Of December 10th,
says:-The Yankees are eminently prac-
ticable people; they do not dream Of quar-
relling among themselves or with us; and
no people do generous act more graceful
ly. When Ireland was in misery, the
American people sent to that then unhap-
py land something more than sympathy.

GEThe time of the lower House of Con-
gress for two weeks past has been occupied
in discussing the charges of corruption pre-
ferred sgainst its members, by certain N. Y.
papers. The substance Of the charge was,
that certain members were in collusion with
the organized outside lobby, and that their
votes were purchasable property, that they
were in the habit of selling sealing wax,
books, DC. The investigation Of these char
ges will only terminate, as every body sup
Posed, in establishing their truth.

small for an editor; here's the quarter, but
I'll thank you to stop my paper at once"

Interesting COrresDOndence

Mr.. Samuel Menear, of York, one of the
Democrats who voted for Simon Cameron,
was boarding at Wits pennsylvania Ho-
tel" Six Democratic members who were
boarding there also, addressed letter to
Mr.. Menear, in which they requested him
to quit the hotel, as his presence was OBJ
noxious to them. Mr.. Menear replied to
them, and then left the tavern. We give
below the correspondence between Mr.. Me
near and the six Locofoco members:
HARR1sBURG, Jan. IA, 1857.
"Mr. Samuel Menear-
"Dear Sir: The undersigned, Boarders
at the pennsylvania Hotel feel that they
can no longer (without doing injustice to
themselves) meet you on those terms of
perfect equality which members of high
and honorable body should have for each
other We, therefore, hope that knowing
your presence to be disagreeable to us, you
will without delay leave the house.

in reply to which l have 10 say, that feeling
that have done nothing which, as an in-
dependent Democrat, l ought not to have

they have SO little knowledge Of what is
becoming in members of high and honor
able body, and who, on this account, are
not fit associates for gentlemen who can as

A FATAL ExpER1NENT.-An Irishman
in Leechburgh, Armstrong county, Pa, on
New Years day, not being in possession of a
gun, pistol or blunderbuss, undertook to
convert pair of candle moulds into a req
qisite noise making machine. He placed a
heavy charge of powder in one ofthe tubes
wadding it down in the usual manner, to
make loud crack and applying his Sc
gar to the end of it, the machine exploded
loud enough. Instead of discharging, it
recoiled, penetrating into his brain, killing
him instantly.

Benton,s Abridement Of Congres-
sfOD1l Deb0teS.


The printed volumes of the Congression-
al debates now number more than one hun
dred, and the much useful matter they con-
tain Is buried under such a mass of redun-
dant and obsolete verbiage, that it can only
be found after long and patient search
Still there is not a question now before the
people, nor will there be while our Govern
,ment lasts, which may not be illustrated BY
something to be found in these Debates
Hence the necessity of some master mind
acquainted with these Debates, and with
the important questions of the day, to over
haul this crude mass, select the good from
the bad, the important from the unimpor-
tant, and condense into reasonable space
all that Is really valuable, in these rolumi-
nous works. Such mind is Thomas H.
Bentcn's; and such work has he penor-
med He has collated into fifteen volumes
all that is really useful, of the contents Of
these one hundred volumes.
An Advertisement of this valuable work
will be found in to-days paper. 1t is pub
lshed only by subscription. Having been
appointed Agent for this county, we hope
to be able to procure number of subscri-
bers.

can Affair.",

An 'affair" and an occurrence" are both
undergoing Legislative investigation at this
time. The 'saffair," is this Mr.. Slough
introduced bill to give members of the
Legislature milage and per diem during the
late recess of nine months, which Mr.. Cad
well was disrespectful enough to speak of
as ''foolish," and 'nonsenscal." This dis
respect, Mr.. Slough resented by blow,
given in the Hall Of the House, while that
body wasin session. Granting Mr.. Slough
to have received sufficient provocation,
though l believe him to have received no
provication at all, his mode of advocating
the merits of his bill was neither very ef-
fective, nor very polite; for it was piece
of the sheerest CANNON; even the knock
down argument could not save the bill, and
the use of that kind of logic will probably
result in his own expulsion. Mr.. Caldwell
was sitting, when struck, in such posture
as to be able to make no defence.
The occurrence" took place in the Pen
itentiary, some time ago. A convict,
whose eyes were weak, permitted physi-
elan attached to the institution, to perform
an operation on one of them. The eye be-
came blind. When the physician desired
to operate on the other eye, the convict re-
fused, not wishing to be wholly deprived of
sight. But the would-be occulist ordered
attendants to hold the patient, and in spite
of his entreaties, operated upon both eyes.
The man is now blind, and can make no
use whatever of his eyes, with which be-
fore this brutal officious meddling, he could
read course print. His time expired three
months ago, but he still remains at the
penitentiary, having no friends nor money
in the world, and being utterly helpless.
That is the account given when the Com
mittee appointed to investigate, shall re-
port, will give YOU further particulars.
THE REFORM SCHOOL.
The Report of the Reform School Com
missioners was laid before the Legislature
on Thursday. The Commissioners recon-
mend the appropriation of $4,000 for the
purchase of 1000 acres of land, and the
erection thereon of houses, not to cost over
$4,000 each, and each large enough to ac-
commodate forty boys; that $4,000 be
appropriated for the erection of the neces-
sary buildings, and maintenance of imates
during the first year. In the meantime,
$4,000 are wanted to provide elsewhere for
the girls now in the Cincinnati House of
Refuge; and yearly appropriation Of
$4,000, it is recommended should be offer
ed to any city or county, which will erect
and maintain Female Juvenile Reform
School for the whole State.
The wisdom of these suggestions, espe-
cially that with regard to the Farm, must
be apparent to every one.-Ohio Farmer.
