Circuit-Rev. J. X. Nichols, Rev. Mr.. Litzin-
ger; Susquthanna-Rev. S Hollitzel New
Markct-Rev. D. F. Whiteside, Rev. Mr.. Ed

We regret that the Conference was unable to
return the lev. R. Scott Norris 10 this Circuit.
We know but little of the necessity which causes
these changes, hutwe feel sure that no more accep-
table appointment could he made for this ioca-
ticn, than Mr.. Norris besides his ability and
great energy as minister Of the gospel, his So
cial qualities alone are sufficient to cause among
the eople Of the circuit a strong desire for his
retention. Mr.. Norris will carry with him to
his new home in Csrroll county, the well wishes
OF many OF the people of this Circuit, as well out
Of his church as in it.

Not GUILTY.

The cases of the State vs. George Say
or, DR.. Charles Goldsborough, George
w. Shank and George Snyder, charged
with rioting IN Woodsb rough, in this
county, at the Presidential election last
November, ard obstructing the polls and
hindering said election, occupied the at.
tention OF the Court ou Monday aud Tues
day, and resulted in the scquittal of the
party in less than ono hour after the case
had been submitted to the Jury. Not
particle Of testimony was adduc, to con-
Wet the party charged with the crime,
and We repeat, that palmer case never
found its way into a court. 1t was in
stigated by malice and political prejudice
and should have been kicked out of court
by the Grand Jury which found the in
dlctment, nd the Stato's Attorney who
wasted his precious time and talents up
on it and run the county to this Immense
and unnecessary expense.
The people and tax payers of the county
expect Grand Jurors aud the States At
torney 10 bring to justice real criminals
and violators of the law, but they want
them to scout out Of Court, discounteu-
auce and frowh down, all attempts at per-
secution which are instigated BY chimney
corner politicians who act und, the ill.,
fuence Of bllud zeal to serve their polti-
cal party.
Two of the gentlemen under trial, it will
be remcmb red. were sent to Jail Oh last
Election day, on the miserable and mali
cious charge which had been trumred up
against them. An honest jury of their
country have pronounced them inn cent,

certainly convic; them of the charge Or
will the i'll used aud much abu,ed victims

FIRE.-Ahout o'clock on Saturday morning
last, the extensive warehouse of Messrs Varied
in this county, was entirely destroyed by fire
Being extensive dealers in grain, fertilizers iron,
lime, &c, the loss is said TO be hervy. We are
told, however, that it is partly covered by insu-
rance. The fire is supposed to have been caused
by the Stacking of some line. which by the ex-
traordinary rise in the Susquehanna River came
in contact with the water. The loss OF this prop
erty is a serious inconvenience to the neighhor-
hood, as it afforded market for almost any of
the products of the farm.

The Breakup on the Susquehanna.

Never since the great ice food Of 1882,
which carried away the bridge, have we
had such "Lreak.up" in the Su. chan
na. About two O'clock op Sunday NOR
ming last the people near the shore were
alarmed by the sudden crashing of tho ice.
1t was moonlight and those who saw it at
hat time represent it as grand and start.
ling picture 1t soon stopped, however,
and did not move again tilt about eleven
o'clock, when the water rose suddenly
higher than ever was known before by the
Oldest iuhabitaDt. Timber and whole
piles of lumber came floating down tie
lower railroad track. The ice began to
jam towards the shore, pushing the lumber
piles about i'll the utmost confusion aud
presenting a spectacle awfuly grand and
majestic. Hundreds OF people congrega.
ted about the shore to witness this truly
wonderful and sublime scene. Huge piles
OF ice suddenly rose up, in many places to
The Leight OF eighteen to twenty five feet.
1t was astonishing to see immense piles of
lumber raised up and carried to her To-
callties. 1t will take weeks to move back
That which was moved in "a few mnments
The ice was piled up on some of he bli ige
piers, and had the new bridge been up it
might have been seriousl il jured Much
damage has been done aopg the shores
The sudden rise brought the water up to
the hearth of the Henry Clay furnace
which stopped for time, but fortunately
was not chilled. All the lumber mer-
cnants along our shore sustain more or
less loss +. s. BeIz's loss will not fall
short of eight thousand dollcrs The Ca
nal is so much jured that it will take
months of constant labor to repair it -
