posed to have been caused by the large
quantity of snow and ice on the track.

Impeachment.

The arrangement of matters, prepara-
tory to the trial of Andrew johnson un-
der the Impeachment indictment are pro-
crossing at Washington quite rapidly,
and the Senate will soon resolve itself
into a Court, to try the distinguished
criminal for high crimes and misdemean;
ors. The quidnuncs who left the Re-
publican party to follow Andy in his
treachery, for the sake of the five loaves
and two small fishes of patronage, and
the Democracy who hoped, through some
coup d'etat, to step in and take the spo.ls
in their own hands, provided A. j. held
his head above water, are believing most
Justify over the prospect. They know
that Andy richly deserves to be ousted,
as ever did criminal to be punished for
his crimes, but they don't want him to
be; and they hope even against hope that
he wont. Per consequence they are pat
ting this sage Senator on the back aud
calling him good follow, and tickling
that ones ear with the straw of fattery,
in the hope of preventing the two third
vote necessary for conviction. But such
work is all fudge and labor in vain. If
the evidence proves Andy's guilt the
interest of neither Democracy nor Con-
servatism will prevent his impeachment
and ousting from Office, while if it does
not SO convict him, lie will pass scott free
a, he ought, and the masses of the peo
| pie will sustain the Senate's action. Just
now the Democratic and Conservative
organs are arguing the unconstitutionality
of the impeachment step, just as they
argued the unconstitutionality of the
doctrine of coercion when A. j. was in
earnest for whipping his rebellious South
ern brethren into their dutiful support Of
the Government. Their arguments then
convinced the people that coercion was
right, and their arguments now will con
vince the same people that the punish
ment of 4. j. for what was treason when
he pretended to be loyal = viz: want
of respect for and obedience to law = by
coercipg him out of Office, is as right now
as then. OF course, we cannot fortell
the result as yet, but, taking the signs Of
the times as our Judging point, we think
it would be just as we'll for those quid,
nuncs and worshippers of bread and
butter, who are daily drawing substance
from the breast of government Office, and
denouncing all who are merely endeav.
oring to make a good, decent, honest and
loyal man out Of y. j, that it would be
about as well for them to prepare to hang
their hats on other pegs, as, most likely,
the one they are now occupying will be
wanted for better men. We think thar

Lake of Boiling Water.

La Cross paper, Feb. Is
An explosion occurred at the artesiian
well that has been sunk to the depth of
$50 feet, and situated about midway be-
tween the river and the bluffs.
The workmen at the we'll became seu-
sible Of a remarkable change going on
within the bore the drill had been work
ing through substratum of daIk porous
rock for five hours, and had been making
rapid progress, when suddenly the ma
chinery stopped, the rods became violent
ly agitated, and deatening explosion
ensued, followed by stream of boiling
water, gushing with mighty force through
the tube from the depths below. The
startled workmen were blinded by clouds
Of steam.
William Marks was badly scalded about
the feet and ankles Patrick Cox, An
drew Parkman and Karl Snyder were
slightly injured The horses became pa
nic-stricken, reared and plunged violently
and extricating themselves from the har-
ness, rushed madly over the frozen prairie
in the direction of the bluffs. The up
ward pressure of the water is very great,

Hugh Miller mentions a similar case at
Inverness, in Scotland, where boiling wa
ter has flowed Tor over seventy years, and
also the famous hot well at Stuttgarren.
in the Hartz Mountains, in Germany
The Geysers, or boiling spring of Iceland,
are no doubt operated by the same ma
tural cause
DIR. Percival, late State Geologist, was
of the opinion that far beneath the bed
OF the Mississippi there existed another
stream flowing in the same direction, of
much greater magnitude, and whose wa
ters were of a much higher temperature
than the waters Of the river.
The we'll hae been visited, this after
noon by crowds of citizens, and the singu-
lar phenomena has given rise to much
speculations and wonder.
The extensive vineyards OF Hon. Edwin
Flint and George A. Metzgar are in i'm
minent danger of being submerged by
the boiling flood. The snow for space
of about six acres has entirely disappear
ed, and the brown grass of the prairie,
swollen by the heated element, has as
sumed wild and fsrlciful shapes.

An interesting case, from the Court Of
Chester county, was decided by the Sa
preme Court of Pennsylvania, few day.
since. DIR. Thompson purchased the med
cial practice of DR.. M'Clurg, at West
Grove, but afterwards DR.. M'Clurg again
commenced practice at that place. DR.
Thompson entered suit against him, and
asked for an injunction to restrain M'Cluro
from practicing at West Grove. This in
Junction was granted by the Court OF
Chester county, from which decision the
defendant appealed to the Supreme Court.
This tribunal aflirms the decision of the
Court below, and DIR. M'Clurg is there
lore restrained from practicng as physi.
clan at West Grove. The point decided
rs an important one. DR.. M'Clurg, we
must suppose, sold the "good will" or a.
greed not to pratice, in or near West
Grove, to make out his case.

EG- Mai Gen. George \. Mccall, the

ried with military honors On the 10Th,

Geary, and large number Of officers and
privates of the old Reserve Corpse, tax
ing part in the ceremonies. Gen. Nc
Call was for long time in the regular
service, and particularly distinguished,
in the Florida and Mexican wars. Owing
to i'll health he resigned his position in
the Regular army soon after the Mexi-
can war, and retired to private life. On
the breaking out of the war of the Rebel
lion, he offered his services to the Gov
ernnent, and was selected by Gov.
Curtin to organize and command the Re
serves, and it was mainly owing to his
skill and energy that that corps gained
the efficiency which made it power Sc
verely felt by the rebels in so many Of
the hardest contested battles of the war
Gen. Mccall participated, with his corps
in the seven-days' fight on the Peninsula,
and displayed vim and bravery looked
upon as marvellous considering the state
of his health. He was taken prisoner
during these fights, and, on his release,
withdrew from the army because of the
inroads which a continually growing in
disposition made upon his efficiency
While the war was yet progressing Gen.
Mccall permitted himself to be run as
the Democratic candidate for Congress in
the Chester District, but the masses in
that district chose rather to allow good
citizen and neighbor to be defeated than
to give countenance to the reasonable
aims of those who were pretending to be
his friends. He was defeated by large
majority.
