A few days ago, Mr.. John Linwood, Of
Ohio was passenger in train on his
return home from the east. lie occupied
a seat near the door, and after dark
dropped into snooze, from which be vas
aroused by passenger in the seat behind
him Withdrawing his hand from his breast
pocket with his pocket-book in it. He
tempted to seize the hand, but missed it,
and the pickpocket Immediately started
for the door. Mr.. Linwood caught one
of the skirts of his coat. just as he emerg-
ed from the door. 1t gave way in his
hand, and be then caught the other skirt,
which also gave way, and though the
train was under full headway, the thief
jumped off and escaped with the pocket
book, containing Sol. In the pockets Of
the coat skirt Mr. L. found, however, to
compensate him, two costly gold watches,
worth 500.

The Winter in Florida.

An invalid, who went from Brooklyn
last Fall, writes to the Editor of the N
Y. Tribune, under date of St. Augustine
Il. Fla, Jan. II, the following note to a
business letter:
ave are having fne weather here; oul
gardens are in full bloom. Green peas
with all the varieties of northern Summer
vegetables, are abundant. This ancient
city is the place for invalids; here we can
live out of doors all Winter; the theruom
eter has ranged from SO 20 so thus far
If orr Northern invalids knew what a
delightful climate we have here, am
sure they would not remain there shut up
IN close, hot rooms, with long, sad faces,
but would come here, where they can live
in the open air and laugh and grow fat.

The N. York papers were called upon
last week to record statement. which. il
true, is disgraceful to New Jersey. Il
seems, by letter addressed to Mayor
Teman, that serious epidemic is pre-.
sailing among the hogs of distillery al
Milestone. in this State, and that the vic
tins are sent daily to New York by the
hundred, for the benefit of pork dealers.
The disease makes quick work of the por-
ker which it attacks. The first symptom
is staggering, and the sick hog expires
in few minutes. 1t is stated that the
keepers have placed a man to watch the
stalls, and that the moment hog ceases
to root be dies. In other words, as soon
as be begins to stagger, a butcher knocks
him down and dresses him, for sale in
the New York Market .SuSSer Register.

A Disgraceful Scene in the United States
Senate Chamber.

Correspondence of the ~ Y. Tribune
WAsnINroN, Saturday, Jan. %, 1859.
The intestine strife which is rapidly
reuding in pieces the Democratic party,
broke out with great virulence IN the Sc
cret session of the Senate yesterday.-
Mr.. Hale was in the chair, and discus.
sion arose upon the merits Of some noml-
tious to office which had been sent in by
the President Mr. Pugh of Ohio de-
nounced the President with great bitter
ness, accusing him of insincerity and in
science. and declaring that he meant to
oppose and tbwart him whenever and
wherever be could.
Mr.. Douglas spoke in the same strain,
stigm atizing Mr. Buchanon's recent ap-
pointments to Office in the West in very
severe terms. He intimated that the Bu
chanan Postmasters 10 Illinois were little
better than thieves, and were so regarded
by the people. If anything was missing
from the mails, the Postm asters were in
stinctiYely suspected of larceny.
These imputations on the standard
bearers of the faithful reused the ire of
Mr.. Fitch, who denied their justice, char
ged Mr. Douglas with uttering shameful
calumnies. aud denounced him as a rcbel
to the Democratic party.
Mr.. Douglas hautily replied that be
was an unsubdued and successful rebel,
and that neither the President nor his
Senatorial followers could put him down.
He then retorted upon the gentleman
from Indiana his charges OF falsehood and
defamation. At this stage Of the affair,
Mr.. Hale, the Chairman, called the dis
putants to order, kindly suggesting, in
his facctious way, that the harmony of
the Democratic party would not be pro-
NOTED by such displays of fraternal ac-
ton
The war of words still continuing, Mr..
Jefferson Davis at length intcrposed, and
sternly rebuked the scolding Senator's
He told them they were talking ''like
highwaymen and bravos. u give you
his exact language-and that their con-
duct vas shameful and dsgracefu to the
Senate. This brought them to their SEN
ses, and they subsided into silence.
The scene is said to have been the ID ost
violent and indecorous that has ever oc-
Cured in the Senate, even in the secret
session, where the proceedings are accom-.
panied always with great freedom of man
ner and of language-tbe Senators light
ing their segars and talking and discuss
ing in the free and easy style of an after
dinner conversation.

Dangerous Adventure!

On Tuesday morning a man was pick
cd up in battcau in the Delaware Riv,
er, short distance above the Water G Gap
by Mr.. Labar; who took the man into
bis own boat, and conveyed him to the
shore. When found, the ian, thougb b
not frozen, was scarcely able to talk, but
after being warmed, he stated that be
started about o'clock in the afternoon
previous, to cross the river in his batteau,
about four miles below Milford. His
boat got jammcd upin the floating ice, and
he either lost or broke his oars, and thus
left in helpless condition, foated down
the stream, until he was picked up by Mr..
Labar ct o'clock on Tuesday morning.
He had thus been exposed in an open
boat for about fifteen hours, and during
one Of our coldest nights; yet strange to
say, was not frozen 1t is stated that the
man has been addicted to the use ofliquOr
which was the probable cause OF bis fear
full adventure, although he was perfectly
sober when found II this should be the
case We think that his ride down the Del
aware River may have good effect upon
him. His name is Aaron Vanauken, and
be is about 60 years of age.

rnn THE IEFFERSONIAN.


Mr.. EpIToR Dear Sar. In looking
over your last issue, | was somewhat a.
unused to notice communication oSSayiDe
to criticse Report of the proceedings OF
the Stroudsburg Philcmathean Society.
published By ME in your paper Of the 18th
inst. Without going into an elaborate
justification of that Report, which | will
lingly submit to the scrutiny of all who
are competent to judge of its merits, Lean
not avoid giving this would-be critic, a
little of that attention which he seems SO
much 10 solicit He has courted con-
troversy; be the consequences of it upon
bis own head.
This sagaeious critic, as il blessed with
n vague sense of bis own deficiencies, has
subscribed himself "DIore Light We
must give the gentleman, whoever he is,
credit for his good taste in this respect at
least He has adopted a very appropri-
ate signature. We think that, in bis case,
there is a very obvious need of a great
deal More Light, especially in regard to
the mysteries of the Spelling Book, and
Grammar; and we would bumbly suggest
that perhaps the gentleman might find
that Light of which be most stands in
need, by cultivating an intimate acquain-
tance with Noah Webster and Mr.. Mur-
ray, or some other good authority. In
other words, we would advise him, before
he attempts to criticise the productions OF
others, to correct bis own little eccentrici-
ties, such as spelling very common word,
thus /: "Independancc," and using the ex-
preston; "Zgn0ramus P0Sterty"
The gentleman finds fault with an ad
jective made use Of by me, in this connec-
ton; Sterile Rock,"' and exclaims with
great pomposity; "Wbo ever heard of any
other than a sterile rock" His remarks
on that subject are too puerile to deserve
mention. We presume the gentlem d
never heard of Barren DESERT" "Hot
fire." Little insect" "Huge noun
tain" nor "Long-esred jackass;" nor
that all languages admit of this redundan
cy of expression, in order to add force
and emphasis to sentence.

ligent critic grumbles most, is because
the Society ia to some extent, Of a private
nature, "Wby don't they throw open their
doors, stick their Essays and Criticisms

(llore Light included) In regard to
that, sir, l can only say, that the mem
bers of this society, for good and sufficient
reasons, have thought it best to exercise
the inestimablc privilege of choosing their

Tragedy in Wisconsin.

Hiram Schoopover, a Pennsylvania
convicted of murder in ST. Croix Co.,
Wisconsin, was recently sentenced to be
imprisoned for life. Schoonover boarded
with man, named ST. John, with whose
wife he was said to be too intimate. Last
July, St. John went fishing, aud his bod y
was found with the skull fractured soon
after. Hence the trial and conviction OF
Scboonover, who leaves a wife and three
children in Pennsylvania, TO spend the
rest of his life in prison.

The Camels.

We visited Parsons wharf on Tuesda ;
to witness feat of strength performed
BY one Mrs. Wstson's canels, of which
there were near dozen on the wharf, Of
all sizes and ages. The camel loaded
was one of the largest Upon the word
of command being given, the camel lay
down, ready to receive his load, which
consisted of FIVE bales of hay, weighing in
the aggregate over 400 lbs, which was
firmly hound to the pannicr placed upon
the animals hump. Upon the utterauce
of command by the native keeper, the
huge animal arose, without an apparen.
extra effort, to bis feet, and walked off in
a stately manner along the wharf and
through the city. We were informed
that the same camel had had 1000
pounds placed upon him, with which e.
normous weight he easily rose. The an
imals are all exceedingly tractable, and
seem to possess much affection for any
one who treats them kindly, as an exam
pie of which Mrs. W. Informed US that
one of them, pretty white one, which she
had petted, would always kiss her when
she went within kissing distance, which
fact we really thought proved the animal
to possess an excellent taste, as well as
an afectionate disposition. In their ma
tive country, the average load for full
grown camel is some 500 pounds, with
which they perform long journeys over
deserts, with but little food or water
We doubt not that with the abundant TO-
rage found in all parts of Texas and a
full supply of water generally, the camel
will improve in strength and general ap-
pearanoe, and be able to transport larger
loads at a more rapid pace. than 10 bis

sa- BY the steamship Europa, which
arrived at this port on Saturday after
noon, we have received advices from Eu,
rope to the Sth inst. From Italy the
news is alarming. In Milan an outbreak
was hourly expected, and the soldiers
we're suspected of sympatbising with the
people, to whose cry of "Vire thalio
some of them had responded. The Uni
versity of Payla was about to be opened,
but although the garrison had been aug
mented, collisions were apprehcnded upon
the return of the students, and the place
was almost in state of seige. The agi-
tation in Genoa and Modena was increas-
ing. There was difficulty between the
Hungarian and Austrian regiments form
ing the garrison of Cremona, the auDga-
rians having shouted Viue IHalla. The
Sandman Government is preparing for
war. Finally 1000 men, from the Aus
trian army, have left for Italy, making a
force of nearly l0O,O0 there. Alarm
ing reports we're still rife respecting the
significance of the remark by Napoleon
to the Austrian AMBASSADOR. but the
Noniten officially denies that they are
authorized by facts. Still the impression
gains ground that Europe is again on the
eve of general war. Il is said that Prince
Napoleon has assured Lord Cowley Of the
willingness of France to abandon the
present system of negro immigration. If
Great Britain will assist her in obtaining
coolies from the British possessions. A
telegram from Corfu states the Indian
Republic is determined upon union with
Greece and will appeal to the powers who
signed the Paris treaty, in case England
refuse her consent. In consequence OF
serious disturbance in Syria, re-enforce.
meDts from Constantinople had been sent
for. Ferukh Khan had been ID ad P Prime
Minister of Persia. and the Shah had de-
creed reforms in the State. We repro

count of the debate in the Cortes upon the
Cuban question Consols closed at 9G

cline. Breadstufs were steady at former

Of the honeymoon is worth noticing

teniion to set up housekeeping, bought
some dishes and old furniture, and the
two moved into board shanty in the
back part of Windsor This was in the
negro quarter, which, it is needless to
say, comprises several quarters Of the
whole town, and was surrounded by a
bout fifty more negro shapties. The oc-
cupants of these, quite taken by surprise,
turned out en- masse, and the bridal calls

she had was filed with these odorous yis-
itors, from morning till night, who gazed
at her with open mouths. while little eb-
onies climbed on the roof, peeped in the

sor authorities that she received thou.
sand calls the first day. How she got
through with her receptions is unknown
but considering the fact that she had
been brought up in deccncy, it is natur a
to suppose that her stomach must have
rebelled occasionally, Notwithstanding the
inculcations of her father, who believed
them good enough for her until they act
ually got her. The story which the par
ent circulated, to the effect that she wa:
insane, and that he should put her in al
asylum, is all bosh. No insane asylum
will admit her, as she has given not the
slightest sign of insanity"
