A Cat that Reasoned.
From the Pike County (IlI.) Democrat.

lhToiu the flke Uounty llil) democrat.
On Tuesday last, a favorite cat was left
in the editors sitting-room, after all the
family had retired, and was not heard Of
until about IL o'clock at night, when it
set up most outrageous caterwauling,
arousing the editor and family from a
sound slumber. The noise was continued
for several minutes after we woke, and a
family council was then and there held as
to what was the matter with the cat. Twas
bitter cold night, and it was decided if
the cat could stand ii we could--for a
while at least just then the cat came
directly to our bedroom door, aud with re-
newed and terrific power, sent forth her
howls, accompanied by scratching on
the door. And thercupon our better half
declared that she would arise and see what
the cat wanted. She did SO, while we
stuck to our bed Opening the door she
found the stove-door wide open, a quantity
of Goals fallen out upon the zinc beneath
the stove, the stove. pipe red-hot and the
chimney on fire. Immediately on her
coming out the cat became quiet and had
nothing more to say. Proper measures
were taken to avert the danger Of the fire
which, we think, but for the cats alarm
would have occurred Can a cat ress9n
We say yes, and our boy Dams cat can out
reason any other cat in the State.

4 We'll DESCRIBED Commitment

a Vel Deserved Compliment. Andrew
Washburn, Esq, was surprised on SATURDAY
evening with most useful and very costly
Christmas gift in the form of copy of Colton's
Universal Atlas, edition of 1871, presented by
the pupils and graduates Of the Richmond
Normal School, and others, teachers of the
public schools.
Mr.. Washburn's connection with public e6u-
cation in this city is too well known to need
explanation at our hand. TO him more than
to any other person we are indebted for the
establishment, organization and success of the
public school system in this city.
The Normal School, of which Mr.. Wasbburn
is principal, has been in existence about four
years, and furnishes from year to year, to the
public schools of the city and State not only
well trained teachers in lis graduates, but is in
itself model of school instruction and admin
istration.
The thanks of the public are due to him and
the excellent teachers of this institution.

The New TARIFF LAW. - The new
tariff adopted at the last session Of Con
gress went into effect yesterday. 1t il
estimated by the Secretary Of the Treasury
that it will effect reduction in the revenue
from impost duties of forty million dollars
per year. 1t entirely frees from tax on
importation two hundred and one articles,
most of them drugs, dyes and chemicals
teas are reduced from 25 to 15 cents ;
coffee from 5 to 8 cents; new sugar from
81 to IL cents; sugar above No. from 4
to cents; refined sugar from to cents !;
cane molasses from to cents; brandy
from SO to So; liquors from $3.50 to So
per proof gallon wool from 80 per cent.
to ii and 10 cents; steel railway bars
from 23 and 10 per cent. to IL cents, and
pig iron from SO to 81 per ton.
This tariff is great improvement on its
predecessor, and will afford well-timed
relief TO the American people, while giving
an adequate protection to all American
interests. The reduction on tea, coffee,
sugar and spices are of special Importance
to all housekeepers, and should lower the
prices of the retail dealers through whose
hands they pass to the consumer.

:" Watch Night. The ancient custom Of
our Methodist friends of watching the old wear
out and the new year in, was not so zealously
observed this year as on many former occasions.
| Ihe JOURNAL reporter has not been favored by
any OF the brethren with report of the obscr.
vance OF any such ceremony in any of the city
| churches, on the occasion alluded to. The
| report comes from everywhere that the custom
is gradually dying out.
Its origin dates back to the time of good old
John Wesley. The latter went proselyting
among the Kingswood (English) GOLFERS
who were very dissip on tod 80 sf EslJe ,-a,
spending their nights in carousals at the pot
houses. He induced them to turn from the
etror OF their ways and begin holding PRAYER
meetings. This finally led to the sfwatch
night"
The custom has been in vogue nearly hun.
dred years and in gradually succumbinr TO the
pressure of the times is only following the
fashion of the 22d of February, the 4th of
July, the anniversary of the emancipation
proclamation, and other similar customs now
fast disappearing.
The object of the night watch was TO give
the party assembled an opportunity to state
their "experience" of the last year. and TO
make good resolutions for the new--sfturpine
over new leaf in the great volume of life
How many, though, in turning page, forget
the "dog leaves which may never be removed
or effaced.
The decay of the "watch night" may be
partially accounted for by the fact thai Christ.
mas day is being celebrated more generally
amongst the Methodists than in former years.

The late Capt. Hines.-Parade of The
Knights Of Pythios.-A number of human

10 the Petersburg depot tomorrow evening.
Tha members of the Order will assemble at

Loss OF LIFE AT PITTsBURG-The Mar
shall House, situated at the west end of
the iron bridge over the Allegheny river,
in franklin. Pennsylvania, took fire at IL
o'clock Friday morning. The flames COM
municated to the bridge, and the cables
soon becoming red hot, parted from their
anchorage, precipitating the bridge struc-
ture into the river. About twenty persons
were on the bridge at the time. William
Neill, farmer, Mcintyre, the toll-keeper,
and his wife and daughter, who were en-
gagged in removing furniture on the bridge,
were fatally injured; Mary and George
McIrtyre, John and Alexander Mccartney,
John Henry, and two unknown persons
were seriously injured; Wilfried Gilgore,
freight agent of the Allegheny Valley rail-
road, is supposed to be buried in the ruins,
as he was known to be on the bridge. The
weather was intensely cold, and the river
froze over to the second pier on each side,
and great difficulty was experienced in
reaching the sufferers with skiffs. A boy
named johnson, aged thirteen years,
jumped from the centre of the bridge and
swan ashore through the slushy ice.

The Theatre.-Lila and Zoe, those en-.
ticing specimens of female humanity and un.

the public at their benefit to- night. Their
friends, real or pretended, will remember thar
theatrical benefit is often such only in name,
and that unless the house is crowded tonight.
the pecuniary emolument arising to Lila and
Zoe, will be rather slim, and the weight thereof
IN coin Will not seriously impede the locomo-
tion of those eslimabe young ladies.
As the line of entertainment is varied flor
which see notice), we trust for the sake of the
fair benefciaries, the house will undergo the
extreme surprise of a feeling of fulness on the
occasion.

SEDUCTION PUNIsHED.-San Francisco,
Dec. 3l.-The reports previously pub
lished of the circumstances attending the
shooting of Edward j. Murphy by Denis
Gum, on Pine street this afternoon, were
incorrect. Gum is a moulder by trade,
aud has hitherto borne an irreproachable
character. He had received an anony-
nous letter, informing him that Murphy,
who has had half dozen wives and mis-
tresses, had seduced his sister, fifteen years
of age. Gum and his father Immediately
confronted the sister and daughter, and
she admitted that she had been seduced by
Murphy. Young Gum then went out,
met Murphy in the street, and shot him,
and at once gave himself up to the author
ities.
