Adjournment Of Congress,

The second session Of the Infamous
Forty first Congress, expired on Friday
last. Sumner and Trumbull aspired to
the leadershipiu the Senate, aud Sehenck
aud Butler in the House; but the
'jobbery" introduced into the late Con-
gress, was a more potent leader than
any or all Of these If consistency is a
jewel, then the late Congress may boast
of possessing that metaphoric gem. The
legislation of the iag end of the session,
if it has shown nothing else, has at least
shown a thorough consistency What.
ever may have been its short comings
towards the nation at large, Congress
has been true to itself Aud consider
ing the manner and matter Of congress
sional Legislation upon the tax bill,
bounty bill, railway job bill, army and
navy bills, aud other measures of APP
preparation and natural expenditure,
we say, metophOrically speaking, that
the jewel Of an unenyiable consistency
shines with a putresceut CLEAN upon
the forehead of this defunct assembage.
The last, and perhaps the smallest
specimen Of this peculiar quality, was
the passage, on the "Wednesday before
adjournment, of the bill granting pen
sion Of $4,000 to Mrs. Lincoln. We
have nothing to say against the relict of
our former president, but We are sure
that she neither needs nor deserves this
gift at the hands ofthe government. A
thousand widows in the land are more
needy and as deserving as she-widows
of soldiers who voluntarily offered their
lives for their country, aud who when
they fell left widows and orphans in
penury to buffet with fate at best they
could. Mrs. Lincoln possessed a com.
potency; her estate is worth SIS, 900,
and she can afford to 90 abroad and
spend her time in the fashionable re,
sorts of Europe, aud this congressional
annuity will but disteud her already
plethori, purse But such is radical
legislation.

York County Items.

From our Hanover, Pa, exchanges
of last week, We take the following
items.
Badly BURSED.-0u Friday afternoon last,
Jane Ruth, aged about Is years, daughter of
Mr.. Henry Ruth proprietor Of the "Franklin
House" on York Street, was fcarrally burned
by the explosion Of a can of coal OIL IL seems
that she was engaged browning coffee, and the
heat not being sufficiently great she procured
small can Of coal oil aud poured part of he
contents on the FIRE TO quicken it, when the can
suddenly ignited and exploded, throwing the
burning oil over her person, setting her clothes
on hre and enYeloping her in a sheet of fame
Her screams quickly sNught her mother and
eldest brother to her assistance, who succeeded
in smothering the flames, but not before the up.
fortunate girl was fearfully burned, and thew
themselves badly burned about the arms and
hands in their efforts to rescue her. Miss Ruth
is very badly burned, particularly abou( the
arms and breast, and suffers intensely. Her
escape from an instant and awful death, was
quite narrow, and should serve as a warning 10
all those persons who persistently and reckless
~ expose their lives aud property by using coal
oil as kindling agent.
HARyEsr.--0ur farmers are about finishing
the wheat crop and from the reports we have
received it is now established beyond doubt
that the yield will be light-ths wheat only
being partially filled. There is an abundance
OF straw, but many of the heads are empty. In
some sections the fields win yield but yery lit
tie more than the seed, while in other sections
the crop is as good as that Of last year. The
oats is coming on finely, and indicates a prolific
yield. Cutting will be commenced in a few
days.
DEArH OF AN OLD CITIzES.-Atan early hour
on wednesday morning Samuel Isaacs, Esq,
one OF the Oldest citizens of our town, died
quite suddenly at bis residence on Carlisle
Street Mr. lsaacs was aged about 30 years,
and was native Of Maryland, but had resided
in our town for the last so years. He was A
gentleman of The old school, and was generally
esteemed and respected by all who knew him.
PAINFUL AccrpKSr--Miss Eliza Crumrine.
residing in Myers District, Carroll county,
Nd, about miles Southwest Of this place. met
with painful accident on the LIST inst, BY
faliisg from hay wagon. Her right forearm
was fractured and the wrist dislocated, and tho
spine somewhat injured. DR.. A. J.. Snively
was called in, under whose skillful treatment
she is rapidly recovering.
SUDDEN DEArH.-William Fisher, died very
suddenly at Yocumlown, last Sunday. He was
attending Sunday school, and after reading a
hymn to be sung by the scholars, he fell over
and Immediately expired. We have not learned
the cause OF his sudden death.

The War in Europe.

Owing to the contradictory character
Of the dispatches received from France
and Prussia, with regard to the threat
sned hostilitics between those two great
powers, we have concluded not to pub

except the article from the Boston Post
Several engagements have been reported,
but subsequently denied. In our issue
next week we expect TO give full ac-
count Of the origin and cause of the
rupture, together with all the important
news appertaining thereto.

A spondent writing from Paris
on the 18th instant, in relation to the
recent extensive drought throughout
France aud IN other parts of Europe
aud the effects on the American mar.
ket, says:
"The prospect is in truth most dis.
couragins In many parts of France
the farmers are killing their cattle from
absolute want of food for them. Hay
is at such an cxorbitant price that none
but agriculturists of large means can
afford to purchase it. In the Corps
Legislatif, yesterday, urgent appeals
were made to the government by NJ.
Corneille and other Deputies to see that
the orders issued to allow cattle to
browse in the forests of the State and
the crown were promptly executed 1t
was affirmed that owing to the persist.
ent drought and the intense heat which
accompanied it, the animals were liter.
ally perishing Of hunger close to forests
in which the grass was allowed to 20 to
waste without proiiting any ono. NJ.
Segris, the minister of finance, stated
that after the first Interpolation was
addressed to the government on this
subject, orders had been transmitted BY
telegraph authorizing over the whole
extent Of the forests of the State the
gratuitous removal of the grass for the
use of the large cattle, and also that
they should be admitted within the
limits of the forests themselves, wher.
ever their introduction was not likely
to be attended with injury to the trees.
81 give you these particulars in order
to prove to you the extent of the evil
aud the influence which it is likely to
exercise on the prospects of American
farmers for the next couple of years. II
the grain crops in the United States
turn out as abundant and of as good
quality as some of the New York papers
represents, the expectation from your
side will be very large, aud the balance
OF trade will be so considerably in your
favor that you will soon be enabled tc
return to specie payments. 1t is moi
from France merely that the drought i:
likely to create large demand upon
your cereal resources. The news re
eeived from Spain to-day in this con
nectiou-is very bad. In the provinces
| of Leon, Palencia and Valadolid III,
crops are entirely lost, owing to the
want of rain, and similar calamity il
apprehended in the provinces usual,
