SUMMARY OF NEWS.

Lastweek was an exciting one in the religions
community of Philadelphia. The noon pray
meetings continue crowded, and the;pres-
ence of the American Board, with the cleri-
cal strangers from Ireland, gave unusual in
terest to their proceedings. At one of them a
little Indian boy from Bengal was produced,
having been picked up friendlesS in the streets
of Baltimore, unable to speak or understand
our language, and brought on. here to save
him from Slavery. An Indian missionary in
terpreted for him on the platform, but in re-
ply to question in Hindoo whether he knew
who God was, or Jesus Christ, he answered
that he had never heard of them. The mis-
sionary then prayed aloud in Hindoo, and this
was followed by general prayer for the con-
version of India. This poor helpless waif is
in Christian keeping, and viii be well taken
care of.

FRoN EURoPE.-By the arrival of the steam
ship North Britain at the Father Point, we
have European advices to the 9Th inst. A tel
graphic dispatch from Paris announces the
death by apoplexy, on the Sd. of the Hon.
John Y. Mason, o. S. ambassador to France,
long a member of Congress from Virginia.
There is talk of speedy end of negotiations
at Zurich, and of general paciication; but It
ally is still heaying with the throes of incipient
revolution. A collision between the Pope's
troops and those of Romagna seems inevita-
ble, and it is barely possible that Sardinia
should not be involved in the fray. The Pope
is said to have rendered the Sandman Minis
ter his passports. Garibaldi has summoned
the Italians of the Legations to arms. France
is said to be again arming-at all events not
disarming. Spain has offered to send troops
20 aid the Pope.

THE ELECTION.

The electinn is over, and the so-called De-
mocracy of Pennsylvania are we'll whipped.
Thomas E. Cochran and Wm. FL. Keim, the
candidates of the Peoples party for Auditor
General and Surveyor General, are elected by
majorities of from $4,000 to 10000. Out of
the IL Senators chosen, we have elected 10,
carried 81. Here, in the s'wild-cat'' region,
where the Democracy were thought to be Sc
cure beyond all peradventure, the districts
having been formed so as to give them very
large majorities, they are badly used up.
President Judge, though freely and malig
nantly assailed, and notwithstanding his COM
petitor had the active support of Senator Big
ler and other prominent and influential men,
has majority of 461 votes. Louis W. Hall,
our candid ate for State Senator, against whom
was raised the cry of tonnage tax, - ''monopo-
ly candidate ssincrease of taxes" &C., beats
Durbin about 600. In the Representative dis
trict, it is conceded that we have elected T.
saac G. Gordon, and. perhaps, VIM. A. Mich
OILS. This is 'sglory enough for one day." to
say nothing of the fact that in our own coun-
ty we have cut down, on the State ticket, the
Democratic majority, which last year was $40,
to 333, whilst on the county ticket one of their
candidates has but S6, and several of them less
than 200 majority. Our political friends have
abundant cause for rejoicing, and We trust
the result will give them fresh courage and in
cite them to continue their efforts in behalf of
the principles of Freedom and Protection to
American Labor, and feel certain that the
day will come when the reign of Locofocoism
viii be at an end, even in Clearfeld county.

DoUGLAs.-The defeat in Ohio and Iowa is
a sore blow to Douglas. His friends there
thrust the Administration men TO the wall and
fought the battle upon the Douglas issue.
The defeat, therefore, falls upon him. He To-
ses his friend Pugh in the Senate, and dcs-
troys his chances for the delegates from those
States to the National Convention. In New
Hampshire, also, notice that the Douglas
men have been beaten in the choice of dele
gates TO the National Convention.

SHARP SHOOTING AND SHARPER Practice
The Fredonia IN. Y.) Censor tells of the sharp
est betting trick that we have heard OF for
some time. A Mr.. jackson Sage made a
wager of $500 with some parties in Fredonia,
that he could shoot fifty consecutive rife
shots f-hand lat target of two ard one fourth
inches, at the distance of ten rods, without
once missing the mark. He accomplished the
feat, but did ii by setting up heavy boiler
iroh funnel, one foot in diameter at the wider
end, aud tapering to size less than that of
the mark, just in front of the target. He had
only to keep bis ball within five or six inches
OF the mark, and the innnel took them home,
sure. He had the Yankee impudence to de-
mand the stakes after this performance. and we
cannot feel certain that he did not deserve
them, for his sharp trick, if not for his sharp
shooting.

1t is reported that the President intends
bringing libel suit against Forney, for his re-
marks in the Press upon the death of Broder-
ick. The libelous paragraph is as follows:
'sDavid C. Broderick has yielded up his life
for sacred principle. If he had surrendered
to the Establishments of the Administration,
he might to-day be living among his numer-
Gus friends. 1t was only because he refused
to compromise the truth, and to abandon his sol
emn pledges, that we are now called upon to
mourn his untimely death. Thus has fallen
the first great martyr TO the political princi-
pies of the campaign of 1882 We ask the
arch traitor to those principles if, in his old
age, and in the sunset of his life, he can feel
that his hands are clear of the hearts blood
of David G. Broderick.

DEMOCRATIC DILENMA.-TheW w yand otte Con-

desperates efforts of the Democracy for its de-

Washington, will use their power to keep the
new State out of the Union By the Nebras-
ka-Kansas act they are pledged in favor of ad-
mission and by the English bill (voted for by
Mr.. Pugh) they are pledged the other way, no
census having yet been taken. Which horn
Of the dilemma will they choose?

just prior to the opening of the Public
Schools of Brooklyn, few weeks since. one
of the Romsn Catholic clergymen made them
the subject of Sunday discourse. Their
goddess character was forcibly depicted !;
the charge was made that they were the hot
beds of vice and infidelity, and parents were
vehementy urged not to patronize them. Two
or three Roman Catholic institutions, held in
the unwholesome easements of churches, it is
said, were recommended to the patronage of
the faithful.
