YH COUNTY FINANcEs.-No county in
the State is financially in a better condition
than our own. Notwithstanding the heavy
expenditure in erecting the finest Court
II puse in Northern Pennsylvania, just com
pleted at cost of over 100000, the county
is in debt, only, about $4,000, which will
be wiped out the present year, from the re-
cepts of the six mills tax. The debt of
Dauphin county is we believe about $780,
900 and that of Schuylkill is also very large.
Our people may congratulate themselves
on the administration of our county affairs.

tB d. Rives Pollard writes from a sick
bed that he is determined to carry out his
PROJECT oi establishing his proposed uncon-
ultlonai disunion newspaper, the Southern
Opinion. Mr. Pollard is a leading editor
and politician in Virginia, and fair speci-
men of large class in the South, who in
heart are as disloyal and rebellious as they
were during the war. How could loyal
Union men live under government in the
hands of such rebels, without the strong
arm OF the military to protect them? Yet
some well meaning democrats are willing
10 surrender the government of the States
into the hands of these openly avowed and
unTepentant traitors.

LATEST EFssON IRELAND.

LONDON, Feb. 1S-Noon.-- Ireland is per
fectly tranquil. Small parties of rebels are
concealed in the woods, endeavoring tn
make their way to the coast, but the national
troops have been so disposed that escape is
thought to be impossible. Troops have been
sent to Maahide, in the hope of overhauling
Stephens, who is reported and believed to
be in that neighborhood.
LONDON, Feb. 1S-Evening The cause of
the Fenian outbreak in the South of Ireland,
is yet buried in obscurlty, though the tee-
graph lines which run through the disatiec-
ted districts are again working and commu-
nication restored. Some say that it was
caused by the arrest of the American officer,
Captain Moriarty, while Others say that his
prompt arrest prevented general rising of
the Irish. The British Government had
news of the affair early on the 18th inst.
An upper servant in the household of the
Earl of Keumare, had received two anony-
nous notes, stating that rising was planned
in Killarney, and that the leader would reach
Killarney from Cahrciveen that night, Con-
stables were Immediately sent to intercept
him, and they met a wagon, in which they
found Moriarty, whom they took into custo-
dy, and upon searching his person found
letters confirming the assertions in the anony-
nous notes.
A courier, named Duggan, was sent to
Cahirciveen to warn the police. A party of
rebels caught him while on his way and de-
manded his dispatches, which he refused to
give up, and attempted to escape. They
fired upon him and he was badly wounded.
AS far as is known at present he is the
only person who has been hurt. The police
of Cahirciveen got news of the trouble by
other messengers and from several spies sent
among the Fenians They were strengthened
by detachment from the man of war
| Gladiator, which was lying of Valentia, and
| saved this station from attack.
| One band of Fenians, ninety in number,
| took horse at Kells, for their leader, O'Con-
nor, and another band stopped the mail on
the road from Killarney to Cahirciveen, but
they did no violence to any one.
The fact is, nowhere has life been taken or
property destroyed. The Fenian plan was
to attack Killarney, capture the place, then
march to Cork but the immediate despatch
of troops from Cork TO Killarney by General
Bates, and the celerity of Colonel Horsford's
movements defeated the whole plot and
caused the insurgent band to disperse
The horse of Fenian courier was caught
by the troops, and a couple of swords were
picked up, but no men have been captured
O'Conner and his staff are said to have
reached the Fenian vessel off Dingle Bay.
Thirty-four suspected persons were ar
rested in Dublin yesterday, and after an ex
animation, five of them were retained in
custody.
Head Centre Murphy and Colonels Law
ley, Healy and johnson, have been arrested
at Limerick, and important papers have
been found upon their persons and in theil
lodgings. ai A4
The alarm caused by the events, is now
about over, and the excitement is rapid,

means adopted to rid themselves Of an
enemy, aud who mingled among the
people Of the noighborhood without fear
Of detection. He did not stir from home
that night, bat early yesterday morning
notified his friends of his reception OF
the note.
While the people assembled in town
we're celebrating as to the proper
course to pursue, the news reached them
that Mr.. Alfred Battle, another citizen,
had been shot from the roadside short
distance south Of the depot The crowd
aocked to the place. Mr.. Battle, while
riding along, had been fred at twice
from the woods adjoining the road. The
first shot penetrated his hand and the
second his arm, inhicting painful, though
not dangerous wounds. As soon as the
last shot was fired, noise was hoard in
the bushes, from which two men sud.
denly emerged and fastened toward him.
Fortunately, a couple of citizens on
horseback at this moment came in view
farther down the road, and the rascals
as suddenly re.entered the woods and
we're lost from view. The horsemeu had
heard the shots and were hurrying in that
direction, Their timely appearance
doubtless saved Mr. Battles life.
The startling news of the second &C, in
the terrible drama produced the most
intense excitement. The intelligence
spread rapidly, and in an hour or two
the neighborhood was aroused, and
armed men we're Aocking into the town
by scores. 1t was resolved to make a
day of it. By noon hundred armed
men and boys, accompanied by blood
hounds, started for the woods, determined
10 scour them in every direction and
arrest all parties who could not give
good account of themselves. During the
day all business was practically sus-
pended, the citizens devoting themselves
to the work of endeavoring TO rid the
community of gang Of robbers and
murde-ers who were organizing reign
of terror in their midst Late yesterday
afternoon no arrests had been made; but
it is to be hoped the hunt will prove
successful, and the guilty parties in due
time be made to dangle at ropes end,
kicking at vacancy.

New MEMPHIS THEATER-LoTTA.-
This lively little California sunbeam

it is in stature. She seemed such a
"wee thing" last night; but that was
all Her eyes danced jigs as recklessly
as ever, and flashed brightly as of old /;
while the smiles and dimples ran hur-
die race about her pretty face and mer-
rily chased each other into her roguish
mouth. The little Puss has lost none
of that charming naicete and sprightli.

and if possible, is even more
original than before. Taking hack

others have become stale and wear.

them, and they are transformed into
something new and striking. Since
Agnes Robertson left the stage no vau-
deville actress has reached the degree of
excellence attained by Lolita and even
the former lacked the genius which has
caused the latter, in on almost incon-
ceivably brief space of time to attain the
foremost position in the front rank of
her class. Lotta's Paul" in the Pet
