Foun BRorIIEns BURNED TO DEArH.-A most
distress ng calamity, says the Fiftsburg
Chronicle, occurred In Clarion county on
Mondoy night. II appears that shortly afler
the family OF mr.. William nhoads, o farmer,
residing in Knox township, had retired, the
dwelling was discovered to be on fire. Mr..
Rhoai was away at the time, his wife having been
awakened by the heat, rushed out fthe house,
and called upon her children, who slept up
stairs, to follow. Finding they made no reply,
she hurried stones through the window Of the
apartment In which they slept, in hopes that
she might in this way, bring them to q sense OF
their peril. The poor woman's Efforts, however,
met with no response, and her four sons, ono
fthem almost full grown, who occupied the
room, perished in the flames.
II Is supposed that at the time she left the
house the smoke had become so dense up stairs
as to sufiocate the boys in their beds-otherwise
her cries would have alarmed them. The con-
duct of Mrs. Rhodes on the occasion is spoken
of in unqualified admiration. Besides the boys
up stairs, she had five little ones, who slept on
the first floor, to take of, and though she
periled her own life to effect 1t, she succeeded
In bringing them in safety from the burning
building. The occurrence caused Snuch dis
tresss to the people of the neighborhood, and
the deepest sympathy for the bercaycd parents
was manifested.

All Hail Connecticut I

Connecticut in her election held on Mon
day last, to choose Governor, Members Of
the Legislature, &c., reafirmed her devotion
to republican principles by electing Buck
ingham, tho Republican candidate, Governor
by 100 majority, and increasing tho majori-
ties of the republicans in both branches OF
the Legislature, and ii so doing, securing
the reelection of Republican United States
Senator. The canvass in the State has been
a very heated one. Last year the Republic
can majority was only about 1900, and this
induced the Hunkes to fight with uncom-
mon desperation to obtain the ascendancy,
and in the hope of breaking the line Of re-
publican ascendancy in New England
Money to an unlimited extent was raised in
New York, by contributions from the New
York merchants engaged in tho Southern
trade, and from the Federal ofice-holdcrs,
and sent in to buy votes. The naturaliza-
tion mills were kept at work, and turned
out, so it is said, in tho course OF three
weeks 1000 or $500 good Democratic natu-
rallied voters, and Hon. Caleb Cushing, Fer
nando Wood and other distinguished Dem
ocratic speakers were brought in to appeal
to the mechanics and laboring men OF Con.
necticut to forget the "nigger question:
and 60 in to sustain the trade with the South
which was in peril.
Notwithstanding oil these appliances and
efforts, the intelligent mechanics and arti-
zans of Connecticut have stood firm. The
Democrats have wasted their money in vain,
and Hunkertm lies PROSTATE.
All things considered, this result is very
important, and cannot fail in deepening the
conviction which exists that the next Prcsi-
Dental contest will be settled in favor of tho
republicans.

FINE AND Loss OF LIFE IN NArLEs.-.we

and grain and farming utensils. The fire took
in the barn, is supposed TO be the work Of m
inccndiary. It was discovered BY o daughter,
who gave the alarm, and NJ. Warren got his
wife, daughter and infant out in their night
clothes, and telling them to SO the house ofa
neighbor, returned to rescue his remaining
child, n lad eight years old. and both persisted
in the flames From appearances, itseems that
he reached the room where the child was, and
after arousing him attempted to save his books
which were in the same room; but the flames
cut of their egress. In making her escape, the
daughter was considerably burnt about the
head.

TAKEN ABAcH. Our Democratic friends In
this city had brief season Of rejoicing over q
reported Democratic victory in Connecticut,
on Tuesday morning. During Monday night
q prominent democrat, doubtless hc slept well
after getting tho news, received dispatch
stating that Seymour was elected" Early
in the morning he spread the glad intelligence,
and on this there was little time Dissatisfaction.
Several ofthe gratifed ones overhaulcd us on
our way to our Office, and gently broke the
news Of q republican defeat to US. Thanking
some Of them for their we'll meant kindness,
we proceeded Ito our Office where We found
awaiting our arrival "little later" dispatch,
which Mr.. Carter the gentlcmanly operator
in the Telegraph Office, and who knows our
tastes In election returns, had sent, which read
thus:
Mr.. L. o. Cowan "Republicans victorious
in Connecticut, Buckingham's majority iioo."
As we like to be reciprocal, we very soon
spread "thc latest news" through the instr'i-
mentality ofa poster. Our Democratic friends,
were somewhat "taken aback" but on the whole
although somewhat chagrined, behaved quite
as reasonably as we could expect. Those
gentlemen who gave us the news OF Seymour'S
election, whom we forgot to thank, are requested
to call and receive our thanks.

lnvcutious and improvements arc not
Confined 20 Mechanics.

There are others, not perhaps 90 outspoken
and noisy. that occupy deeper strata OF fsociety
whose improvements are not less paipables and
whose silent influence upon the comfort and
happiness of society not less striking. True,
the advent of sewing machine, q reaper, or
plowing machine, which at once does the lapor
of q score of hand, Is IN event 30 notable, IN
improvement 80 manifest, that all are impressed
with its Importance. In almost oil such cases
the result Is gained not 90 much by the discovery
of new powers as by the new application ana
combination of those long known and under
stood. What Is yet moro remarkable is, tnat
the new APPLICATION Is 30 simple and efhoient
that we wonder that II had not been thought
Of and applied long before.
Such were our reflections on seeing one OF
Prof Humphe cy's family cases Of Homeopath-
ic Medicines. Comprised In asmall case, which
Is a handsome ornament for lady's table, you
have twenty specific remedies, appropriate for
almost every ailment or disease which may
occur in family, together with concise little
manual of directions for reference and use
The whole arrangement Is simplicity itself, and
the remedies are 20 arranged and labeled that
any intelligent person may apply them ut once
successfully, and thus, In the most important
sense, become their own physic an. No accurate
investigation or study, no balancing OF proba-
bilities, is necessary. Here Is the ailment, -
there the pleasant, sugar.plum remedy. All
this simplicity and certainty Is attained by the
mere combination Of the best Homeopathic
Medicines according to Prot Humphrey theory
and discovery. So simple and common-scnse,
and yet 80 Efficient, does the whole arrangement
appear, and so obviously does II meet the wants
OF family, that We wonder the profession had
not long ago availcd themselves OF i. and that nat
been given to the people long ago. II this new
discovery and arrangement shall have the effect
which il promises to do. of driving from use
the destructive and dcletorious drugs so long IN
vogue, and inducing reliance on nature and
such mild means, it must be considered one OF
the most important improvements Of the age:
and one which suffering and oyer-dosed
world sadly require.
