relate to the noblest incidents of his great
career. 1t was in Pennsylvania that, en- the
day when the delegates from the colonies first
met together, he appeared among them TO join
in the task Of forming common country. /;
was in Pennsylvania that, with uneXampled
modesty, and touching expressions OF anxious
but devoted patriotism, he accepted the com
mand of little army, scarcely formed, and
assumed the responsibilities OF an arduous war.
1t was in PennSy iyania that, amid the fercest
seventies Of winter, with troops almost famish-
ing and Naked he partook OF their hardShIps,
cheered their spirits, and kept them united to
win the triumphs to which be afterwards led
them. II was 10 his ''lelow soldiers and faith
full followers in the military line Of Pennsyl-
vania,' that he expressed, when the war was
closed, and with mind deeply affected, his
grateful sense of their attachment and aid. 1t
was in Pennsylvania that be placed his all
conc!liating name TO the Constitution which
has cemented the Union; il was here that he
became its first and most ilustriouS President;
it was here that he addressed TO his country
that memorable Farewell with which he closed
his public and immortal career.
| To ask, then, the women OF Pennsy lvania 10
unite with their sisters throughout the Union
| in this tribute to the memory OF WASHINGTON
to appeal to all the people of Pennsylvania
to give TO this great object ther generous en-
couragement and assislance-is but 10 solicit
from them patriotic service, to which they
are called by associations connected with his
memory that cannot be surpassed, nor hardly
equaIled, in any portion of that wide country
which glores in his name.

Croyle, OF Union township, in this county,

and retired for the night. About one o'cIock
at night, MIR. John ImIer, one of the movino
party, discovered that the house was on fire and
immediately gave the alarm. He found the
rest all sound asleep, but broke open the doors
OF Their bedroom and at once reused them to =
sense Of their danger Six persons were rescued
by being thrown out Of windows by Mr. Tacoh
Bnrket and caught below by Mr.. InlIer. It
was now asked whether the whole patty were
safe, and no one seemed 10 be absent, rush
was then made tor the stable, 10 get ont the
horses, when II was observed that yopnc Cro,Ie

On Saturday last, as Mr.. Samuel Barnhart, of
this place, was driving his six horse road team
over the bridge at the sNarrows," a short
distance below town, the flooring and supporting
timberS of the bridge, gave way, and the wagon
and four Of the horses attached to ii, dropped
through into the stream beneath The depth
ofthe water under the bridge, is estimated 10
have been from twelve to fifteen feet. The
wagon was loadened, principally, with flour,
the weight of the whole load being about 100
cwt A considerable quantity OF The -four was
lost and some Of the remainder damaged so as
to render its sale Of no advantage to the owner.
The four horses that went through the bridge
with the wagon, were eaved, which seems
miraculous, indeed, when we think of the
height they fell (some % feet) and the danger
OF their ntanglement in the harness and wagon
gears, in the deep water into which thew were
plunged. Mr.. Barnhart's own escape is =
matter TO be wondered at. Just as the timbers
began TO crack and sink beneath his team. he
stepped from the portion of the bridge that went
down. He had been walking with the two front
horses (which escaped by the breaking of the
coupling chain) and thus was saved from tbe
Perilous fall which otherwise would have
awaited him. Take ii all in all, this accident
was most extraordinary.

A REVOLUTIONARY CENTENNARIAN.

On Tuesday last, our town was honored
with visit from GEN. JAS. Burns, SR., OF
.Iuniata township, one of the surviving soldiers
of The American Revolution. This venerable
man is now upwards OF one hundred years and
SIX months of age, and is still vigorous and
healthy. He was al the battle of Brandywine
and at Valley Forge, and subsequently, was en-
gagged in the protection Of The frontier. Though
mere youth when in the army Of the Reyou-
ton, he attracted the notice of Washington,
with whom he was on familiar terms His
first vote was cast for Washington, and ever
since the organization of the Democratic party,
be has been steady adherent TO its men and
measures. To see this veteran and hear him
tell of bis early days, makes one feel like ex-
claiming, with Moore,
o for the swords of former time,
o for the men who bore them!
When armed for right, they stood sublime,
And tyrants crouched before them!

Pay law, and anxious 10 bolster up that cor
rupt and unprincipled body, assails Messrs.
Welsh and Schell the two Democratic Sena-
tors who originated the anti-Extra Pay move
ment in the Senate, and endeavors TO place
them before the people IN false Positlon-
The whole truth concerning this matter, is as
follows: On Friday, the first inst, when the
Appropriation Bill was in consideration by the
Senate, Mr. Welsh offered an amendment TO re-
duce the pay of members from $500 TO $500
per wear, TO which amendment Mr.. Schell
offered another to authorize the State Treasurer
TO retain $500 of the salary of members OF the
last session. The amendment 10 the amend
ment was adopted as was likewise the amend
ment thus amended, ,-Messrs Welsh aud Schell
both voting in the affirmative. On the same
day, an evening session was ordered, Tor the
consideration of priUate bills, at which session
several Democrats who acted with them, seized
the opportunity 10 reinstate in the Appropria-
lion Bill, the $500 Extra-Pay clause, by sus-
pending the rules and taking up that bill oui
of order. Mr.. Schell was not present at this
session, having been called 10 Philadelphia on
important business. Had he been present, he
would have voted as he did before, against the
Extra Pay. As for Mr.. Welsh, who was
present, he did vote in opposition 10 the mo-
ton to re-insert the 500 salary. The vote
upon this question will be found on page 539
OF the Legislative Record, TO which we refer
all who desire 10 learn the facts concerning the
matter. The Telegraph, as will be seen by the
Record, tells deliberate ialsehood when it
says that no one voted against the restoration
OF the Extra Pay clause. Sir Democrats and
but tpco Republicans recorded their votes in the
negative. The Telegraph cannot whitewash
its own Partisans. by such silly attempts to show
inconsistency in Democrats.
