IMPORTANT 4 ARREsr-A bout the 2lst of Jan
uary, says the Lycomjng Gazette, Justice u
mer issued a warrant, on the complaint of q.
S. Post, one of the conductors on the William
w Browning, of Leroy, Bradford county
Mr. Post charged Browning with passing on
him, in payment Of fare, a counterfeit five dol
lar BILL of the York County Bank The war
rant was placed in the hands of Constable
Kemp, who proceeded in the $50 p. m. train
to Troy, and from thence to Leroy, where he
arrested Browning, and returned with him to
Williamsport in the next train, After hear
ing before Justice UImer, he was committed
in default of $1,000 bail. The prisoner appears
to have operated in connection with Mingus
and others, recently arrested in Philadelphia,
and passed the bill for which he was arrested
on his return from an interview with MinguS
He had been arrested before for the same Of
fense, but released on bail On being taken
into custody, he made desperate efforts to es-
cape and dispose of the money he had about
his person by throwing it away. OF the capi-
tai thus disposed of, one hundred and forty five
dollars of counterfeit York County bills, and
one hundred dollars in bogus quarters, eagles
and gold dollars were recovered, and it is eX-
pected that much more will be found when the
snow goes off.

s9~ An admonition against hasty funerals
occurred last week at Fremont, Ohio. Daniel
Stearns, who had been sick with the fever, ap-
parently died. All arrangements were made
and the friends and clergyman were assembled
to pay the last tribute of respect to the sup
posed deceased, when the body felt warm to
the touch. Restoratives were administered,
and in a few minutes the man who came so
near being buried alive, was sitting up. He
is now in fair way of recovery

CoNGREss-In the Senate, Thursday, the

pie of Kansas, repeating the existing statutes
and providing for a new election was received,

iority Mr. Davis, Of Maryland, by direction
of the Corruption Investigating Committee, Of
fered to make a special report in the case of
William A Gilbert, Of New ! ork, and moved
that the report be printed. Mr.. Grow denied
the right of the committee to make a report
without permission. An exciting scene en-
sued, whereupon the Speaker said that Mr..
Davis must state the character of the report.
After much further uproar, Mr.. Davis did read
the portion of the report referring to Mr. Gil
bert, concluding with a resolution that he be
expelled. The charge against Mr.. G. is that
he voted for the Iowa land bill for a corrupt
consideration and that, for certain sum of
money, he helped to procure the passage of a
resolution or bill authorizing the purchase OF
certain copies of a book by f. +. C.. Trplctt
on the Pension and Bounty Land Law. a

port was ordered to be printed, and the con,

cure bribe from Des Moines Navigation Com,
pany, to aid in the passage of "a law in which
