No PAINTER YET The House of Repre-
sentatiyes at Washington is still without a
printer. Mr.. Ford, of Ohio, thought he was
elected. The House thought so. The coun-
try thought so, and was glad TO hear that the
strife had termina ed. But it was all mis-
take. No election has taken place. The
count OF votes was not correct, and, yesterday,
a correction of the journal re-opened the mat
ter and led to a renewal of the voting for prin'
ter. And this dreary struggle is to be continued,
no one can say how long. fit shall turn pub
lie attention to the congressional printing jobs
with such effect as to reduce them to decency,
it may be remembered with some satisfaction
We notice that Mr.. Adams of this state has
been praised for refusing to vote for Mr. De
frees and perhaps he was right. But, 1t is
said he would have voted for Mitchell, al
though the combination represented by that
gentleman was the least republican, the least
commendable, and the most greedy for spolls,
that begged for the endorsement OF votes.
Among all those who have sought the office
of printer, there is no man more honorable or
more deserving than Mr.. Defrees. But Mr.
Ford is the candidate now, and we hope he
will be elected on the next ballot and elected
by such a majority as no correction of the
journal can set aside.

The School LAWS IN THE SUPREME
CoURT.-An interesting case was heard before
Judge Merrick, Tuesday, involving the vail
dity of the school laws in towns where ma
Jority of the citizens are opposed to them 1t
appears that in March, 1858, the town of Scit.
uate voted to dispense with the general school
committee, and appointed thirty prudential
agents to select and contract with teachers !;
and subsequently chose a committee to make
prosecutions and defend law suits growing out
of the new order of things. The plaintiff in
the action procured an injunction prohibiting
the treasurer from paying the expense of such
schools, and law suits. The year passed with
much quarrelling between the nearly equal
parties favoring school committees" and
those favoring agents" The teachers at the
close commenced suit for their wages, and the
town voted to settle by arbitration. The ar
bitrators made awards in favor of all the claim
ants, but a further injunction was obtained
against their proceeding. The case came be.
lore the Supreme Court on motion to dis.
solve this last injunction 1t was held on one
side that the schools and expenses were mani

SUFFoCATIoN FROM Coal GAs.-THRIL-
LING EXPERIMENTATION Wednesday evening
a report spread through town that citizen of
Bethlehem, Pa, had been found dead in bed
under very mysterious circumstances. The
particulars of this singular death are as fol-
lows: 1t appears that William Woehler, an
old citizen Of Bethlehem, who had been in
very ill-health for some time past, took medi-
cine on Tuesday last, which seemed to relieve
him very much. and in the evening the whole
family, consisting of himself, his wife and an
adopted daughter. retired to rest about nine
o'clock, after Mrs. Woehler had filled up the
coal stove, which stood in an adjoining room
and thrown open the door leading into that
apartment. The woman and her daughter
were worn out with waiting upon the sick
husband and father, and soon fell into sleep
from which, singular to say, they never awoke
until Wednesday evening, having slept some
thing over twenty-one hours. Mrs. Woeher
was first to awaken, and supposing it
to be nearly day, she jumped out of bed,
and commenced preparing for breakfast
when a neighbor knocked at the door
to inquire whether they did not desire some
assistance, as the water (near which they
liyed) was rising very rapidly. Mrs. Woehler
here remarked how singular it was that it grew
darker and darker instead of lighter, when she
discovered, by her neighbours reply, that it
was evening, and that she and her family had
slept the whole day. In the meantime the
daughter had left her bed and dressed, remark
ing, as she entered the room where her moth
er and the neighbor were, that she was glad
there was no school oday, as it was Wash
ington's birthday. Mrs. Woeher now ran
in to her husband, with the intention of calling
him up, but was horror-stricken to find that he
was dead and had been so for some time. 1t
was supposed by all that he must have died
during the night before, and the wife, of
course, lay part of that night and the whole of
the 22d in bed with the corpse. The coroner's
jury rendered verdict that the deceased
came to his death by gas escaping from the
coal stove in the adjoining room, only few
feet from the bed.-Easton (Pa.) Express Feb

AGGRAVATED CASE OF CoNscIENCE.-The
Charleston Mercury notices an interesting case
of troubled conscience in which a Frenchman
made confession of theft in WarrentoD,
Georgia, where he had stolen two watches,
but since the commission of the deed he
had had no peace, sleep had forsaken him
and during his uneasy and troubled slumbers
the appartion of his dead mother had appear
ed, and that more than once, calling upon him
to make retributon for his crime. Acting I'M
der the impulse of this feeling, he accused
himself, and on his own affidavit, under the in
structions of the Attorney General, warrant
was issued by Magistrate Kanapaux, and the
penitent placed in Jail to await inquiry into the
case. The man said he had it in his power to
have taken several thousand dollars worth of
Jewelry, when he committed the robbery, but
was content with purloining the two watches.

The "ANzEIGER DIES WEsTENs" of Feb.
25th, objects strongly to the singular pronun-
ciamento of the New York Tribune on the
presidential question, complaining with much
spirit that the tone of the Tribune is BATES
Bates, and always Bates-Bates against the
field" The "Anzeiger" speaks for majority
of the emancipation party in Missouri. 1t
speaks for those who made that emancipation
party possible and called it into existence.
The Tribune must see the incorrectness of its
statement that the Missouri emancipationists
have proposed Mr.. Bates for the presidency
and are Unanimously" urging his nomination
at Chicago. The Anzeiger complains also
that the Tribune could not mention Fremont,
Lincoln, Fessenden, and Dayton, after Seward
and Chase, before thinking of Bates, and says
very justly such Republicans must be
doomed to the lot of unavailibility, then will
the Philadelphia platform also become impos-
sible. But, take away this platform, and the
party will fall into ruins from which no god
will ever redeem it."

lNcoMBUsTIBLE CEINoLiNE.-At a recent
meeting Of the Pharmaceutical Society in
George street Hall, Edinburgh, DIR. Stevenson
Macadon exhibited crinoline dress, one. half
of which had been immersed in solution of
sulphate of ammonia, in order to test its non
combustbility. On applying light to the
crinoline, the part of it which had not been
stepped in the solution was at once enveloped
in flame; but the only effect which the light
had on the other part was to char it. This
was considered a satisfactory experiment; and
it was stated that as ammonia was but two
pence per pound, il was accessible to the hum
blest class. Scientific American, Feb rs.

How Mn. PITCHER WAS TAKEN IN.-Late
on Tuesday night pair of "dashing young
fellows stepped up to the bar of the fremont
House and demanded Brandy and water for
two" Mr.. Pitcher, after surveying the sap
lings thoroughly, said gruffy, eve don't sell
brandy to boys or drunken men," He then
advanced to the tobacco department for the
purpose of waiting upon well-known Green
field militia officer who had called for cigars
and as he had advanced he was still mutter-
ing something about "boys" and brandy, -
and ''better been in bed" The General inter
rupted him by asking "What are you growl-
ing about 2" Pitcher-"Them boys have been
in here afore to night for brandy, and l told
'em to clear out" General-"That further
one next the cheese casket is a gal and
don't know but to'ther one is" Pitcher again
approached tie "swells," spoke to them, and
soon learned from a remark she made that
one of the pair certainly belonged to the ten
der sex. He executed their order" the
"boys" replenished their cigar pouches; bowed
and Withdrew. Pitcher placed bottle of old
sherry on a high shelf to await the order of
the Greenfield General.-BoSton Courier

festly illegal, and that this was an attempt to
nullify the Constitution and the Statutes; on
the benefit of the schools, and ought to pay.
The Court ruled, without deciding the consti-
tutional question, that arbitration was one OF
the modes by which towns might settle claims
against them, and that the injunction must be
dissolved. 1t seems to be equivalent to de-
cision that the majority of legal voters may
suspend the application of the school laws to
their own towns at pleasure.

THE REPUBLICAN CAUcUs.-Our friends
will notice that the caucus for the choice of
delegates to the State Convention will be held
this evening, at the City Hall The position
of the Republican party in this section is not
a doubtful one, and its preferences are very
generally understood. Still, we trust the
meeting will be large one, and worthy OF the
contest and the triumph which are before us.
LECTURES ON HUMAN LIFE.-Our readers
will bear in mind that Prof o. S. Fowler, the
renowned phrenologist, delivers the first lee
ture of the course this evening, at Mechanics
Hall. We presume this veteran phrenologist
will receive a cordial reception, and that just
appreciation of his labors for the good Of the
race, through so many years, will be mani
tested by filling this spacious Hail. o. S.
Fowler is now the recognized leader in this
country in those sciences he processes to teach,
and in his lectures throughout the Union, as
we'll as through his writings, has sown much
good seed, the fruits of which must result in
great benefit to the race, and aid in placing
man upon higher platform of life. The sub
ject of the lecture, this evening, will be health,
physiology, signs of character, phrenology,
illustrated by skulls and manikin.
