Robbing a Station House.

On Friday morning last after police Of
fcer Kidd of Bethlehem had let his lodg-
ers out of the station house-there being
only about bakers dozen-he missed a
sheet from one of the beds in the ladies'
% room. He had suspicion on one whom
he had observed having a bundle and was
on her track 4 few miles out of town
he overhaulded Mrs. Riley, (Which name
she gave,) aud found the missing sheet.
She begged hard to be let off, and said
that she would not have taken it but she
wanted it to make garment that females
wear next to their body. The police of
fcer was deaf to her entreaties and made
her trot back to the station house, from
where she was sent to Easton Jail to await
her trial.

To LIQUOR Dealers.

The United States Supreme Court has
just decided that neither license under
the act of 1861, nor a special tax under
the act of 1866, confers upon the party
licensed, or who pays the tax, authority
to carry on the liquor traffic contrary to
the laws of State. The same rule ap-
plies to the sale of lottery tickets. The
Federal tax imposed upon such dealers
does not do away with the law which for
bids their sale, in certain States.

How to Keep Meat Fresh.

AS farmers are at distance from meat
markets, the following directions for
keeping meat may be OF use to those that
try it:-Cut the meat in slices ready to
fry; pack it in jar, in layers, sprinkliny
with salt and pepper just enough to make
it palatable; place on the top thick pa
per or cloth, with salt half an inch thick;
keep this on all the while. | have kept
meat for three weeks in the summer, aud
the last was as good as the first.

Spontaneous Human Combustion.

By Telegraph by the Tribune.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 16.-A well au-
thenticated case of spontaneous combus-
tion occurred in Columbus, 40 miles south
of this city, yesterday morning. Andrew
Nolte, German, very intem perate in his
habits, was found dead in his shop, his
lips entirely burned away, leaving ghast-
ly hole, his tongue charred to a crisp
His nose was also burned, as if by FIRE
coming out of his nostrils, and his clothes
were still burning when found. No 9TH
er part of the body save the air passages
was burned. Physicians who examined
the body pronounce it a clear case of
spontaneous combustion. 1t is supposed
that the fire was communicated by at
tempting to light cigar.

Awful Occurrence

On the 10th inst, dreadful accident
occurred in Upper Milford, Lehigh coun-
ty, on the farm of John Boyer. John
Lowe, of Bucks county, an indenturcd
boy, whilst engaged in threshing-feed-
ing the machine-from some cause had
speed slackened and stepped over the cyl
inder from the usual position of the feed
er, and as he moved to return he called
to the driver to put on the speed again,
and stepping over the cylinder he fell up
on the feeding apron with his legs against
the revolving teeth. In moment his
left leg was half ground of above the
knee, and his left foot was badly lacerated
a little above the ankle. The sight of
the boys mutilated and mangled limbs
was horrible.

A Jolly Mistake

The Minnesota Stats -Zeiung, ger

ing good hit:
"By command of his high mightiness,
the ex-tailor Andy, some Que of the num-
erous clerks in Washington was recently
set at work to renew the commission as
postmaster for Pennington, Dakota coun-
ty, of j. G. Andrews bosom friend of
"Andy's," said first class bread and but
ter man. But the clerk, being absent
minded, or thinking perhaps more of some,
other clerk in crinoline, blundered, and
wrote, instead Of j. G. Andrews, j. c.
Edwards. Now there is, by odd luck, {.
j. G. Edwards in Pennington but he is
"a full-blood niger" black as the ace of
spades, "sassy as stock of monkeys"
and, as we hear, more intelligent, better
educated, and considerably better quail
fed to "run the machine" than J. G.
Andrews. And so it clme to pass, in the
second year of his reign, that Andy, the
nigger-killer, appointed darkey in Min
nesota to be postmaster"

The diary of Wilkes Booth, taken from
his body after his capture, is now in the
hands of the proper investigating COM
mittee, having been handed over to it by
the authorities. For some reason its con-
tents were not used in the trial 1t shows
that he was agent of the Confederate Gov
ernment, and received money from it, and
that at one time, at least, the plan was to
kidnap Mr.. Lincoln. 1t is believed to
implicate Booth and Harold in the assas-
sination. The entry made on Friday, the
2lst of April, one week after the murder,
shows that it must have been written in a
perfect agony of mind 1t describes his
position with broken leg, in the midst
of swamp, alone, an outcast, an assassin
weighed down by his guilt, and a feeling
that God would refuse forgiveness. 1t i:

which seldom finds expression in words.

from this place. The granite is designed
for the " Parker Monument" at San

Folsom, west of the American river. Each
piece was hauled from the quarry to the
depot on a wagon drawn by eight horses,
each block weighing over seven tons, and
when dressed will each contain about seventy

The New Nominating system.

The plan ofeffecting political nominations,
which was first put into operation by the
Republicans of Crawford county, Pennsyl-
vania, in 1860, and which is known as the
'' Crawford County System. has been sue
cessfully adopted in other parts of Pennsyl-
vania, and is viewed with much favor in the
East
The plan is as follows:
/. That all persons seeking nominations
shall make the fact known, aud that three
weeks before the day fixed for nominations.
there shall be aregistry of all the Republican
voters of the county, in their several pre-
cints.
,. On the day fixed for, the nomination,
these voters shall meet at their respective
precincts and vote printed or written tickets,
containing the names of all those whom they
want nominated. No person to be entitled
to vote at any.precinct unless so previously
registered therein as Republican voter
3. The inspectors to make returns to
central committee, with attestations of the
fairness of the same, and the latter to count
the returns. and to declare as the candidates,
those names having the highest number of
votes.
This plan gives the voters of the party a
fair chance to express their preference it
puts stop to the corruption and wirepulling
Of Nominating Conventions, and by its reg
istration feature prevents the preparation
Of fraud at the primaries In addition, it
gives facilities for the settlement of minor
questions within the party. The obvious
advantages of this system are so great that
we hope it will be legalized by the next Leg
islature.
