and few friends of Mr.. Durham, whe went
to the meeting out of respect to that gentle
man. The delegates from Perry were the

this township except two voted against the

p0 The citizens of Philadelphia are be-
coming dissatisfied with the course pursued
by Mr.. Edgar Thomson, in the management
of the Pennsylvania Railroad. 1t is COM
planned that the gentleman discriminates in
favor of other cities in fixing the freights
going west, that he is accepting the PreSi-
dency of all the Railroads offered him, and
that he uses the Pennsylvania Road to the
injury ofPhiladelphia business, though it was
built by Philadelphia capital. Acorrespen-
dent of the New York Tribune, writing from
Philadelphia, says, 49, -vr
Western men who have stopped here and
then gone to New York to make their pur-
chases, have given as the reason for so do
ing, that the freight from New York to
Chicago is less than from here to Chicago.
You see how this thing operates against us
and for you and all east Of you. New
England manufacturers, with agencies in
New York, can deliver goods in the West
cheaper than any Of our manufacturers
can, though 100 miles nearer. 1t is the
stupid competition to secure through freights
which is doing US this injury, while it is
running every railroad that goes into it. 1t
is the reason why Pennsylvania railroad
stock has gone down from SO to 40, where
it has settled with heavy load upon it
1t is not the hard times that have depress.
ed this stock, but the knowledge that it is
carrying on losing game in competing for
trade at rates that don't pay; for never has
q road had such favor shown to it by our
people, and our press, as this. The COM
plant against Mr.. Thompson is heard all
along the route to Pittsburg. The millers
on the route pay high rates to enable the
company to carry Western -four by their
very doors at much lower ones. He is kill
ing the way traffic, which, if properly foster
ed, would alone support the road, in order
to secure the through traffic, which will
never be able to do so. Capital and business
are both driven from the Stately this mis-
taken course. 1t is good to you but death
| to US. So @-e--- - 70 -s--s-
There are many indications that bushes:
Of various kinds is leaving here, and going
to New York In our manufactured goods
the change is quite great Some of oul
/ heaviest manufacturers, who formerly solo
all their cloths through commission houses
here, now send every yard to New York fo
sale. Your tendencies for Capitalization ar,
so decided that this result cannot be coun
| teracted. Your commission houses are alb
sorbing us, just as they absorb New England
And this tendency is stimulated by the &C
ton of the Pennsylvania Railroad, on which
we depended so much to build up our West
ern business, and for whose construction tn,
very community it is now injuring, sub
scribed millions of dollars. 1t is the opin
ion of many of these that Mr.. Thomson ha
entirely too much on his hands, and that
when he thinks of giving up any OF. hi
roads, the first that he should quit, ought t,
be the Pennsylvania.

RosRERY.-A most daring burglary was
committed on Sunday morning last in the
house of Mr.. STEELE, on Second street. Tho
thief entered the house by pulling open the
shutters aud creeping in at one of the front
windows. He Immediately proceeded TO
unlock and open all the doors, so that he
might have free egress in case he was dis
covered. Mrs. STEELE had placed chair
against the door of her room on retiring, a
thing unusual. Her husband awoke about
half-past 5 o'clock in the morning. He
says at that time il was almost light enough
in the room TO read. On rousing up he
thought he caught glimpse of somebody
at the foot of the bed, who seemed TO be
STOPPING down to avoid being seen. Mr..
STEELE raised himself nearly erect in the
bed, when he discovered man who was
still endeavoring to keep out of sight by
STOPPING lower. Mr.. STEELE Immediately
sprung out of bed, but in doing so he got
tangled in the mosquito bar; frem which it
took him some little time to extricate him.
self. The burglar started to run. In going
out of the room he fell full length but he
recovered and running out slammed the
door to, and by the time his pursuer got to
the front door he was in the street. Mr..
STEELE paused to put on his clothes, and
while so doing the thief run out of sight.
He followed down to Water street and thence
went on to Main street, but saw no more
of the scoundrel. .
When Mr. STEELE jumped out of bed, he
noticed that his pantalOons were lying in
the same position he left them the night be-
FORE and concluded he had lost no money.
Ashewas returning home he felt in his pocket
and found his pocket-book apparently all
right. He took it out and the money had
parted company with him and taken up with
the thief Mr.. STEELE lost about $44. There
was some silver change in the same pocket
which the house-breaker failed to discover.
Mr.. STEELE says he is confident he can re-
cognize the fellow if he can come across him
dressed as he was that night.
On the same night, or morning, Mr. Ten
SEY had his house entered, but has yet
missed nothing. We learn also that the
house of JOHN RAscH was broken into. The
amount of the loss sastained-if any-we
did not learn.

WATER GAs.-The city of Wilmington

WATER GAs.-The city of Wilmington,
Delaware, was lit up with gas manufactured
from water, on Saturday night last, one
week ago. The coal gas was stopped off
from the works, and the new gas turned in,
which illuminated the'city more brilliantly
than ever before. Many scientific strangers
were there on purpose to witness the feat,
including representatives and superintend-
ents Of gas companies The gas Is produced
by the decomposition of water by passing it
over red.hot charcoal, and combining it with
the vapor of rosin decomposed simultane-
onsly. The light produced is whittier and
stronger than that from carburetted hydro
gen, while the cost is said to be only half a
dollar per thousand feet and even less. This
trial of the new gas, now that it has been
SO apparently successful, has made great
sensation in certain circles.

The Boston Herald gives an account of
the death of Henry Black, of Newport,
Penn, who undertook to sever the head of
a hen, and was attacked by rooster, which
spurred him on the hand into an artery.
About two weeks after the accident he was
attacked with intense pain, sickening SEN
sation of the heart, and his sufferings be-
came insupportable. At this date re-
markable occurrence took place. He drew
his entire frame together, as though to gain
strength for an act, and his voice broke forth
like the growing of a rooster. This was re.
peated from time to time, and such was the
similarity of the voices, that the OUTSIDE
listeners asserted their belief that it was 8
rooster. After four days of indescribable
suffering he died, and crowed no more.

B@. Mr.. Brunei, the famous English en-
gineer, though o, very small stature, had a
commanding presence. Hisindustry was I'M
firing, and the PARALYSIS Of which he died
in his 54th year, was the natural result OF
an overtasked brain and careless regimen.
He was an inveterate smoker, and az the
COMMENCEMENT of his engineering career,
was never without cigar in his mouth.
He frequently worked twenty hours day,
and as frequently all night, and the writer
of his memoir has known him abstain from
going 10 bed for AN entire week. With the
exception of smoking, he was temperate,
and even absremious.

BzS~ Governor Chase was serenaded at the
Burnet House on Friday night last by the
Germans. During the music, some Sound
rel in the hotel saluted the serenaders with
some glass tumblers, which seriously in
inred three men. The crowd became very
much excited, and fears were entertained for
awhile, that the hotel would be "gutted."
The proprietor of the house made every eff
fort 10 detect the miscreant and offered one
hundred dollars reward for his arrest.

CITY ITEMS.

MATTE r. HEwLETT.-This lady, who
has become quite celebrated as lecturer on
spiritualism, favored our citizens with two
discourses on Sunday, and one last evening.
The attendance was quite respectable on
Sunday afternoon, and at night Marble
Hall could scarcely contain all who had
desire to hear. Her subject in the afternoon
was the PHILOSOPHY and religion of spirit
ualism." In the evening she discoursed on
"the religion of manhood" ag
Miss HEWLETT has avery progressing ap-
pearance. ShShas fine figure, rather tall,
but we'll developed, with dark hair and eyes
and regular features. She is what most of
her audience denominated good looking
woman, and her good looks does not detract
in the least from the interest in her lecture
Her gesturesare appropriate, and-especially
among the male portion of her audience
attractive. She handles the subject under
consideration as though she was thoroughly
acquainted with it, has fine command of
language, and illustrates the thoughts she
seems anxious to impress upon her hearers
with wonderful facility and readiness.
But there was an indefniteness about her
lectures that was the occasion Of consider
able remark. She talked very prettily; her
sentences were well rounded; her language
elegant; her thoughts seemed clearly ex-
pressed; yet, when you attempted to gather
the discourse together-after retiring from
the HAHN order to review the whole
matter, it proved to be like the spiritual
