TIE prospect Is that JUDGE HARREsoS's
trial will cost the State goO'l rounds sum.
a resolution was passed. in tho House
yesterday allowing him TO have sum-
moned thirty witnesses, and allowing him
To bring tlvemore persons here from other
States at Ills rcqucst-All these to stay
Iuling the trial, to receive tho mileage
and per diem to which witnesses are cnti'
tied, and to have all their necessary cx.
pcnscs" paid by the State besides. If
these extra five are witnesses, why are
they not tn be summoned; and IL they are
not, why are they to bC brought here and
kept here ut the expense Of the State? 1t
strikes III this extra provision for
the expenses" Of witnesses is unu'
sllal, md we full To see the propriety
OF It. If the expenses Of JUDGE lIAR-
HIsON's witnesses are to be paid by
the State there will he no reason for not
paying the expenses Of the witnesses for
the prosecution. The State Inns no right
10 make this discrimination between the
parties 10 the trial; and Il will not be IL
creditablc thing to the majority in the
Legislature If It is done. II Is thought
the trial mAy lust IL month or six weeks,
anil If 40 the necessary expenses" Of this
swarm of witnesses will be heavy item,
the Scrgcant.at-Arms Of the House being
Obliged to audit the bills and determine
what comes under this designation. This
trial will bc necessarily very costly af'
fair; hut neither party TO 1t should be al
lowed to make 1t needleSsly 80. This
resolution has not yet passed the Senate;
and we hope before IT does it will receive
close scrutiny, to sec if il is not open 10
the objection suggested.

AseastEGiii Incident.
From the Easton, Pa i, |

From the EastOn, Pa Free Press.
In one OF the schools there is young girl who
is Il cripple. 1t is the custom OF the teacher to
allow her, when the scholars are dismissed, al.
ways to pass out first in order that she may
escape from the confusion attendant upon the
dismissal OF 80 many children. On Monday last,
when the alarm OF fire was sounded, all of the
school rooms were emptied of their contents.
While in all of them they rushed out in dismay
and fright, in some cases leaving everything be-
hind, in the one where the lame child was there
was perfect quctness and order. All the schol.
ors, Notwithstanding the noise and apparent
danger, remained quietly in their seats till their
lame companion had gotten safely out, and was
secure from the rush, when they with bound
cleared the room. They thought of her safety
before their own neither fright nor sefshness
induced them to provide for themselves until
they saw her secure from peril. Such display
of consideration and kindness we have not heard
of for many a day, and when we remember that
it came from children, it becomes all the more
touching and beautiful

The Galesbuig Free Press of Dec 80 says ::
Z" A case of sudden or violent fright occurred
in our nelghboring town of Abingdon on
Monday last which proves sad and impress
sive warning to all who are partial to indulg-
ing in practical jokes. 1t seems from what
we can learn, that on that day party Of boys
disguised by hideous masks and grotesque
garments, called at the residence of an esti-
mable lady, Mrs. George II, Marshall in that
place They entered noiseessy at the back
door, and succeeded III frightening an infant
almost into commissions. Mrs. NJ. hearing the
horrd screams of her child, Immediately has.
tened to its assistance to shield and protect it
from harm. In hurrying to her child, she
suddenly encountered the masked figures, and
fell tainting to the floor. She was shortly
afterwards found by her friends, and proper
remedies were administered, but her revival
only witnessed the horrifying fact that she
was hopecssly insane. Up to this writing,
we regret TO say, that no lucid intervals have
been developed, and the woman once q happy
wife and a proud mother, is now a raving
maniac, berett of reason and covering in
fright. .... .... ..... ,. ..

ORIGIN OF THE NORTHERN PACI-
FIC RAILROAD.

A correspondent of the New York
Times gives the following account of
the projectors Ct the Northern Pacific
Railroad =
Your issue of Saturday presents a
letter from your special correspondent
regarding the "breaking ground" on
the Northern Pacific Railroad, in
which letter Mr.. Jay Cooke is styled
the "Father of the Northern Pacific. j"
Believing that honor should be given
to whom it is due, beg leave to state
the facts. This Company was chatter
ed in 1864, and its immense and valua-
BILE grants were donated in that year.
Josiah Perham, Of Boston, was the
moving spirit in the enterprise, who,
together With Thaddeus Stevens, Hon.
George Briggs, member Of Congress
from New York, Hon. L. D. NJ. Sweet,
Of Maine, and member Of Congress
from Minnesota, (Hon. Ignatius Don
nelly,) we're instrumental IN securing
this franchise from the Government.
The first organization Of the Company
included MIR. Perham as President,
Hon. Geo. Briggs as Vice-Pre'ident,
Israel s. Washington, of Boston,
Treasurer, and Col. w. s. Rowland as
Commissioner. These gentlemen re-
NAMED in control Of the enterprise un-
til January, 1866, when through the
fundamentally of Col. Rowlacd, tho
control was passed to Hoo. John Greg
CRY Smith, Of Vermont, who succeed
ed MI. Perhsm a. President; Hon. r.
D. Rice, of Maine; Onslow Stearus,
Governor of New Hampshire; Geo.
Stark, of New Hampshire, aud several
gentlemen of Boatot and not until
this year has Mr.. Cooke become in any
way connected with the Company. The
first officers of tho Company are all de-
ceased but Colonel Rowland, who re-
sigued bis position some time since.
That the connection of Mr.. Cooke with
the management of the Northern Pa
ei6e will aid vastly in the speedy coy
struction of the road no ono will
doubt ; but he must not be class ed
With those who from the beginning
were the men who, in the face Of great
obstacles, successfully gave it birth and
vitality. He will, beyond doubt, rear,
the harvest they sowed, and the nation
will be indebted to him a. we'll al to
them.
