Daniel E. Sickles Reconciled with his
Wife.

It was predicted three months since,
that Daniel e. Sickles, after the excite
mept of his trial for murder should be
somewhat alsyed, would go back to the
embraces Of bis crring wife-and sure e.
nougb, the thing has actually come to
pass. Three oftbe N. Y. city papers, on
Tuesday; anDounced the reunion of this
notorious cuuple, with the additional in
formation that Mr.. S. by taking SO censu-
rable a step, has alienated himself from
most if not all of those personal friends
who devotedly adhered to him during hrs
recent Imprisonment and trial The Tri-
bune says: -
This reconciliation was consummated,
as VIC are informed, while Mr.. S. was re-
siding at the house Of a friend on the
Boomingdale road. about half milo
from the former house of Mr.. S., which
for some time past Mrs. Sickles has occu-
pied, either alone or with the members
of her own family. The suspicious of
bis host were excited by the repeated alb
sence of Mr.. S. at unusual hours; and
when be came in very early one morning
be was interrosated by the host and an
other friend who was present, and on his
positively denying their right to question
him, and refusing to give an explanation,
they shook hands with him for the last
time and be withdrew. 1t is said that
be has since addressed letters to his for
mer intimate associates. notifying them
formally of the resumption Of coDjugal
relations between himself and Mrs.
Sickles.

Death from the bite Of a Rattlesnake.

The Cincinnati Gazette Of the Stb inst,
gives upon the authority of Mr.. Uriab
McCloud, of Vanceburgh, Lewis Co.,
Kentucky, the following remarkable &C.
count of the death of worthy man from
the bite of rattlesnake
1t seems that Mr.. James Wright, an
old citizen, but who moved to Vanceburgb
last August, for the purpose OF deVotlug
his attention to getting out tinb Der for the
manufacturing of spokes and hubs, which
he has been importing largely into this
market, vas engaged at his usual avoca-
ton in the woods about four miles from
this place, on the forenoon Of the 4th
suddenly sprung at him and struck lite
faDQs in the back Of bis hand. Alarmed
at the probable consequence, he im medi
ately started for the town and ran the
entire distance. The beat, fatigue ana
excite emcnt Of course allowed the poison
to circulate through bis system and make
sure of its deadly work. BY the time he
reached Vancebureh he was entirely blind,
and his body and head were covered With
spots of the same color of those of the
rattlesnake. The usual remedies were
immediately resorted to and every effort
made by the attendant ph hysicians to neu
tralize the poison. but without effect. He
continued to sink rapidly, and expired
between 3 and o'clock the next morn
ing.
In preparing the body to be laid out
singular phenomena presented itself. Inl
addition to the spots referred to, there
was picture Of the snake itseif-perfect
in shape and color, and as distinct as i'll
daguerreotyped there extending from
the point on bis hand where the fsngs
bad struck, up the arm to the shoulder,
and then down the side to the gron.-
For the truth of this. our iUform ant as
sures us not only himself but some four
or five other citizeus, who saw it, can
positively testify.
Immediately upon learning the occur.
renee a number of persons started to the
place where it bad happened, and upon
examination, found the suake in the iden-
tica! spot designated. where they came
near having another tragedy, young la
dy of the party having stepped over its
lurking place, from whish moment after
he made savage leap at the party but
was Immediately despatched. He proved
to have six rattes aud BUTTON" indi-
eating his age six years and half.
Mr.. Wright was in bis 5lst year, and
leaves wife and three children.

destructive Storm in York County

The storm of "Wednesday evening last
was very violent in York county, Pa
The York Pennsylvania says:
In this place the wind was SO powerful
that the chimney at DR.. Mes new house
was carried away, which in Its descent
crushed dormar window. Some build
ings were unroofed. Large trees were
uprooted, aud some were broken off, while
many trees were stripped OF branehes.-
The ends of some buildings have been
blown away-parts of porches have been
torn from their fastenings-and very
many cellars have been flooded In ad.
dition to all this, the town gardens were
very materially thinncd of fruits and veg
etables.
A friend in Freystown says that trees
and fences are scattered in all directions
The brick shed of George Bender, il
Freystown, was blown down, and all the
brick in the shed were spoiled. His loss
lis thought to be Sl00. The fury of the
storm seemed to have its dividing line Oh
the farm of Jacob Brillinger, Spring Gar
den Township. The roof of his distilie-
~ was raised by the wind. East oftbi,
point, and through Hellam township, the
the storm was light. York township suf-
fcred similarly to this borough, at least
that portion nearest to town. Corn, oats
trees, fences and many other things have
been partially ruined. The corn and
oats, at various places, lie fat on the
ground. The storm was severe near
Strinestown and other parts of Conewago
township. In Manchester township the
oats and corn have been seriously dam
aged. Many fences and trees are down.
The gust was NJ ore violent in Manchester
than in Conewago township.

IL A serious charge is made against
the Postmaster General BY the Washing
ton correspondents of the Philadelphia
Press and other papers. 1t is this, that
while be is curtailing and disseminating
the mail service in the Northern States
under prctence of keeping down the ex
pensos of his department. scarce N
route or post Office has been meddled
with in the South. Considering that il
the Northern States the Office is not only
self-sustaining, bat really source o
profit, while the Southern mail service il
sustained almost entirely by drafts upor
the Treasury, one would suppose that tbs
former was deserving of some show of ia
vor. instead of being made the sole vic

Home Education.

Judge Crawford of Washington, in 3
recent charge to a grand jury, thus OK
pressed bis views of home education -
''lf the young men, who are to be the
future men of the country, were brought
up with more decided bome rule, and
compelled, when compulsioD was necessa
ry. to devote themselves to the acqus-
ton Of skill in some useful and respecta.
bic vocation, there would be less occupa
tIon for courts and juries. The engage
ments and habits of the boy will cling to
the man, aud upon his education and
training under the domestic roof will de-
pend his standing and character, and his
usefulness or the reverse in life." Here
is some sound practical truth, by which
parents can profit for themselves and
sons.

Military Exempts.

The question has been propounded tf
US. as to the coursc persons ought to pur
sue who desire to be released from paying
militia fine BY reason OF bodily infrmi
ty or other physical defects; and for the
information of those interested We viii
state the substance Of the law upor
the subject. The 4th section of the la v
approved April 21st. 1858, provides thai
the person who claims that be is not liza
bic to Go military duty or is exempt there
from on account of some physical defect
bodily iufrnity, or by reason of any Law
of the United States or by this State sb al
make affidavit before some person duly
authorized by law to administer oaths
which shall embody the facts on which
he claims to be exempt which must be
delivered to the Assessor, who hands il
over to the Com nissioners. This affidavit
must be made before the day when the
Commissioner aud Assessors meet to re.
viewthe enrolment. Under the old law
the person asking to be exempt on ac.
count of physical defect was obliged tc
obtain a surgeons certificate of the fact
which is no longer required, but the afi
dayit supplies its place.

An Extraordinary Flour Contract.

A correspondent of the Missouri Dem
ocrat from camp Floyd, Utah Territory
charges that great swindle is being per
petrated under contract Of flour for the
the United States Army. The contrac
tors are John Hilliday and Col. Martin
who receive s25 90 per 100 pounds.
The annual consumption is about g.
600, coo lbs, which would make the a
mount Of this coutraetS572,00O. Taking
into consideration the fact that Mr.. Viii,
liam Martin and EP Staunton offered to
furnish the supply for SO per 100 lbs
and that Mr.. j. G. Little to take the same
contract for ST so per 100 pounds, il
seems strange that Messrs. Holiday &
Martin have been awarded this CONTRACT
at S28 60 per 100 pounds. The -four
furnished is manufactured in the terrific
ry, is Of poor quality, and is bought by The
contractors for So to So per l00 pounds
At the latter rate they are at ar outla
of 100000 in fulfilling the contract
leaving them a snug little balance of fou1
hundred and tacclce thousand dollars. The
writer alleges that there are probably s
four partners in this contract, Mr. Johl
Holiday, Major Martin. Wm. Russell
(irm of Russell, Major & Waddell,) and
Secretary Floyd. They will realize on1
hundred thousand dollars each, and tie at
no trouble or risk.

the notes came due, they being protested

thing, and made purchase Of a lot of cat

$500, paying him in bogus deeds OF

fectly satisfactory.
