Distressing sccident-On yesterday morn
ing, Mrs. Haney, an old lady about sixty
years cid, living in Manchester, at the house
Of Mr.. Terry, an engineer on the Danvil!e
Railroad, fell into the fire and her clothes
catching in blaze they were burnt nearly of
her person before assistance could reach her.
Mrs. Haney occupied room to herself, and
after making her fire in the morning, she
being subject to fits, it is supposed she had
one, and by that-means met with the acct
dent which she did. Her left arm and leg
are very much crisped, and the physician
called in to see her is fearful she has sustain
el serious internal injuries, In which case
there are very little hopes of her recovery.
Mr. Terry was also severely burnt about his
hands in endeavoring to aid this unfortunate
old lady. A daughter Of Mrs. Haney was
killed by the explosion at the G. 8. Labora-
tosy, few months since.

Severely Bsrat.-On Friday night last, a
little girl, named Blanche Rogers, daughter
Mrs. Susan Jetiries, was burnt in severe
manner about her breast and throat. She
was stahding in front of the fire, when her
clothes caught in light blaze, and but for
a flannel dress which she wore next to her
person there is very little doubt she would
have burnt to death. Up to last night her
sutferings were very distressing, though II
is believed she will recover.

H;gh~ay Robbery EARLY on Friday evening
last, as Major Hensley, commanding a heay :
artillery battery stationed at Marion Hill,
vas riding to his quarters, he heard a short
distance ahead of him, when opposite Tree
Hill, the cry of robbers" "murder," &c,
accompanied by one or two pistol shots
The Major immediately galloped up to the
scene of action, where be overhauled the
principal, man who gave his name as
Young, and who says that he is an officer in
tho navy. After proceeding down the road
short distance q negro was overtakcn, who
stated that he had been robbed of his basket
and its contents by an officer, who had, upon
meeting with resistance, fred at him once
or twice, and Immediately recognized Young
as the man who had committed the deed.
Upon hearing these facts, Major Hensley
called on some Of his men, who had by that
time come up, TO arrest him and confine
him in the guard house, which was done
Another man was implicated in the affair,
but he succeeded in making his escape. AS
the Major, however, thinks he knows who
he is, it is highly probable he will yet be ar
rested. II the offence with which these
parties are charged is proven, the fact that
the outrage was parpetrated upon negro
should not shield item from the utmost
TigOr Of the law.

nn fnndef Congress.

The Pennsylvania Agus, says, during
the reign of Robespiere, and the Revolu.
ton in France, wicked and foolish men
tried to dethrone God. Churches we're
destroyed, as is now done by our Abe
Robespiers.

ant. "I wish you 10 have nothing left to
remind you of your old superstitions.'--
The peasant replied by pointing to the
heavens. You will be Obliged said he,
"to leave us the stars" which are far OIL
der, and are seen from far greater dis.
tanoe than our old church tower. If the
church is destroyed, the sun, the moon,
and stars will never cease TO speak to US

France, that ought to chill the blood Of
every christian, and call down the execra-
ton of all good men on Congress and the
Administration. The election of o Uni
tartan Chaplain has portentous meaning.
The Untarians deny the Divinity of Je-
sus Christ--the very esscnce--the only
foundation of the christians hope. Ev-
cry doctrine of the christian religion is
built on the great and necessary truth that
Jesus Christ is God--equal and co-equal
with the Father. And Abolition Congress
has impiously denied this precious doc
triuc, robbed the Saviour of his Divinity
and the christian of his hope. The SOL
emn reputation of the Saviour by the
representatives of the Federal Union is a
dark page in our history. God forbid
tha. the people should ratify this outrage
on the Redeemer of mankind, by longer
countenancng the vile party who perpe-
tratcd the infamous act.

ga Loyal" Man.

Stealing, EnsbeseNing and M,sopplying
Commtssary QUartemaSter'S Stores.
Among the most "Jacobinical" presses
that has existed in this country since the
war commenced, has been the Ohio State
JoWndt-the abolition state organ. 1t
has openly advocated the suppression and
mobbing of Democratic presses, the "star-
chamber" conviction of Vallandig CHAM,
and every measure that will damn to eter.
nal infamy the records of this admins stra.
tion. The principal proprietor of this
paper is one "Captain f, w. HURT, A.
Q. NJ. U. s. V."-the "a. Q, NJ" part
of which initials always suggest steaItng,
and in this case does not disappoint ex-
pectations. As a quartcrmaster he has
for months been known to be largely en-
gagged in deiraudipg the government, but
his "loyalty" efforts to "crush the rebel
lion." But unfortunately some of the
Democratic press of Ohio, gave such a
thorough ventilation of his villainy that
the military authorities were compel ed to
prefer charges against him. We give the
chargos-each one of which is followed
by specifications giving a history of the
'loyal" mans thieving. The charges arc
as follows:
CHARGE lst-Selling without proper
orders for that purpose, embezzelng and
misapplying Commissary and Quartermas
ter stores belonging to the United States"
"CnARoE 2d-Conduct unbecoming an
officer and gentleman"
"CHARdE 3d-Steaing, embezzling, and
misappropriating and applying to his own
use, money or property of the United
States"
The specifications would fill several
columns, and are a fair picture of the
transactions of "loyal" men everywhere.
We mean of course "loyal' officials, for
many Of the "loyal" masses are sincere in
their devotion to a cause they believe to
be for the good ofthe country but where.
ever you see one Of these "loyal' place hol.
ders' "have an eye to him. and you will
in very many cases find him like the edi-
tor of this "loyal' abolition organ in Ohio,
singing halllaujahs, to Abraham, while he
rohs, or in the language of the above
charges "stear' from the people. When.
ever this class of "loyal" men cease to
have chance to "steal" they will cease
to favor the war. Yet it is by this class
of scoundrels, that even honest abolitionists
are made to believe the war is for the
Union. - Washington Reuietc.

Death of MIR. Barton,

Mr., CALEB BARTON, Senior one of our
oldest and most estimable citizens, was
killed on the Laekawanna and Blooms
burg Rail Road Between Rupert and
Bloomsbury Stations, on Tuesday morn
ing the goth of December. lie had been
absent from homs with his Son, in Ohio ,
over two years, and on arriving at Rupert,
it is supposed, was walking on the r. R.,
and when almost in sight of his home was
run over on the track by the Cars and so
MANNED and bruised as to cause his death
before day light. Mr.. Barton was one of
the most upright men and excellent citi.
zcns with whom it ever was our fortune to
become acquainted - kind, noble, generous
and true to fault, we knew him init
mately and esteemed him highly.
The unexpected death of Mr.. Barton,
was indeed q severe shock to his wife chill
dren and relatives at home, who were anx.
iously waiting to welcome him after SO long
an absence, to their fond embrace, and to
all our citizens, who would again have
gladly greeted bis return to Bloomsbury.
Providence willed it otherwise. He was
about 72 years of age, and we believe, had
not an enemy in the world.

Hon. A. II. CorFRoTH, of the Bedford
District, has proposed an amendment TO
the COnscription bill, which should be i'm
mediately adopted. II is as follows:
"aesolved, That the Military Commit
tee be directed Immediately to inquire into
the expodency of amending the act en.i-
tied AN Act for enrolling and calling out
the national forces, and for other purpo-
ses, approved March 3, 1868, to compel
the provost marshals of the different con.
gressional districts to hold their examna.
tions for physical disability, or any other
cause of exemption, at the county in the
respective congressional districts"
The hardships which he proposes to
remedy, has been grievous one. In the
large cities, the limits of Congressional
district are SO confined, that it is very easy
for the citizen to reach the Office of the
Provost Marshal, but in the country it will
be no slight Inconvenience for poor man
to even go to the county town of his own
county, and we are not sure but that it
would be wiser to still further modify the
law so far as to give the Provost Marshals
the discretionary power to hold their ex-
aminations in such other towns in the
county as they shall see fit. For the re.
lief which Mr.. CofTrotbs amendment
would give, however, we are sure that the
people will return-"much thanks"

SAVE THIS PLANK.-The Chicago plat.
form, having served its purpose to foist
abolitionism into power, is now abandone d
as useless fabric; but to illustrate the
honesty and consistency Of the party which
adopted it, one plank from the ruins is
worthy of preservation. 1t declared
"That the people justly viewed with
alarm the reckless extravaganza which
pervades every department of the Federal
government; that a return to rigid econ
omy and accountability is Indispensable to
arrest the systematic plunder of treasury
by favored partisans; while the recent
startling developments Of frauds and cor
ruptions at the federal metropolis shows
that an entire change of administration is
imperaliVely demanded"

A REBEL RAID.-There are indications
that the rebel General Early contemplates
a movement up the Valley Of Virginia, and
perhaps on this of the Potomac. He has
been lowering, with considerable force,
about strasburg; and the last advice, from
Winchester state that our pickets have been
driven in. We have come to beiave that
speculation upon army movements amounts
to very little and have concluded patiently
to wait the upshot of events we advise our
readers to "Xeep their powder dry" and
follow the same course,
