1t any one regrets the election

heart must be the abode Of the
deepest sorrow. But while we de
'plore the result, and would have
supported 81 eckinyidge or Douglas
ito have defeated Lincoln, with rs
'much zeal as we did our own noble
candidate, JOHN BELL, yet, in our
humble opinion, there iSa calamity
:. that may overlake us II thousand

Yet there is no class of the community

Extraordinary Reye,atfou,

very remarkable affair has recently been
bI ought to light In Russia through the reVela-
tioDs OF merchant in the to wn of Morshtch ansk,
hourishing place southeast OF Moscow. This
merchant accused one PlotitZtn with having
unaWtully amassed and sccreted an immense
amount Of money, which he said was slowed
away in cellars under the owners residence.
Furthermore, he declared that PlotitzIn held
strange doctrines and performed hideOus cere-
monies In secret. The representations of the
merchant were such as TO arouse the attention
of the authorities, and they proceeded to in
vestigate. Plotitzin's house was searched by
the police, and in the cellar O scene
presented itself which might recall the old tales
OF the Spanish conquest OF Mexico. Stores of
gold revealed themselves in every direction;
pots, pans, leatbern bags, canvas sacks, all
filled with the precious metal, and even nun.
ber Of large casks, which stood at the further
end of the vault, were found to be crammed
with bars and ingots of gold to the very top.
The gold coins we're mostly of ancient date.
The whole scene formed such tableau as the
Oldest man present, in all probability, had
never before gazed upon; and the earliest esH-
mate (probably an exaggerated one) rates
the treasure as high as lO,00O,0 900 roubles
considerably over fl, 600 sterling. The
alleged accumulation OF wealth having been
fully established, the authorities extended their
examination to the other matter charged
against PlolitzD, which, according TO the OIL
cial record, was that Pl0titZin was one OF the
principal leaders and supporters OF secret
merchants and money changers, whose doctrine
is apparently the abiurstion OF all ordinary
pleasures, aud the devoting OF themselves,
heart and soul, to the amassing OF money. They
form a secret commercial league distinguished
by the practice of rigid celibacy.

Rmrnali 90 Death.

The Huntingdon tPa.) Globe publishes the
following
The citizens of our town were considerably
alarmed on Wednesday last, the l7th, by hear
ing of FIRE that had occurred that morning
between two and three O'Clock Of the residence
of Mr.'Wilham Dean, farmer in Juniata town
ship, few miles south of town. 1t was ascer-
tanned that the fire originated from smoking
meat in the fireplace in one end OF the house,
and soon communicated to the dwelling, In
which the inmates, consisting OF Mr.. and Hrs.
Dean. and their two daughters, Kate and
Martha, were sound asleep. The fire made
rapid progress, and with difficulty Mr.. Dean and
his wife, who slept below, escaped, while
Kate and Martha, who slept up stairs, ran
through the flames to the door-Kate escaping
in her night clothes, and being burned about
the face, shoulders and hands in the attempt
while Martha succeeded bat in getting to the
door, when, IL is supposed, she was stifed with
smoke and fell, and was consumed in the flames.
She wss the youngest OF the family, aged about
seventeen years. Her sad death has stricken
her parents and relatives with great sorrow,
and our citizens deeply sympathize with them.
Mr.. nean lost everything, and he and his
family are now staying with Mr. Harrison
SpecS. the nearest neighbor. The injuries
which Kate received, though painful in the
extreme, will not be fatal, but II Is thought she
will lose the use of her hands.
