The editor of the Times, in this weeks
paper, thinks he has made an able defense
for the Pennsylvania railroad company, by
replying TO the article in last weeks NFws
in regard to the late change of schedule y
If the citizens of Newport were not blessed
with railroad communications they would
perhaps, sing mum with their friends in
Bloomfield as it is they have right to
complain when their accommodations are
taken from them.-NeTs.
Good Gracious how mistaken we have
been, for we always supposed that citizens
from this place and many other parts of
the county had an interest," in the railroad
Accommodations from Newport, and conse-
quently we had a right to say something
upon the subject. But as our Newport
neighbor claims it as "their accommoda-
ton" perhaps we ought to apologize for
our interference.

The COunterfeiters.

The United States court for the Eastern
district of Pennsylvania is now in session
in Philadelphia. Our citizens are greatly
interested in the trial of number Of coun-
terfeiters from this vicinity, against whom
true bills have been found by the grand
jury. Yesterday the case of Frank Carr
who formerly kept livery stable in this
city, was announced for trial. We under
stand that he has turned States evidence
and made q full confession. 1t is probable
that Mrs. Kate Frantz and Michael Kems
will be tried to-day. Both are residents OF
this city, the former keeping notion store
at the corner of Canal and State streets,
and the latter hotel at the corner of Canal
and Walnut streets. Both are alleged to
have been largely implicated in the circula-
ton of spurious money, and intimately as
sociated with the counterfeiting organiza-
tion whose ramifcations extended all over
the State. The case of Elias Hoffman, q
corpulent huckster from the vicinity of Me
chanicsburg, will most likely come up to-
morrow. He has long been suspected, and
was instrumental in procuring the convic'

miller from this city, and Zcrker, alias
"The Flying Dutchman," well known
throughout this and neighboring counties
who united the avocation of pedler with
that of circulating counterfeit money, and
was remarkably shrewd, bold and success
ful, will also be arraigned for trial before
the court this week, together with the 9th
other parties. Important developments
may be expected and the proceedings will
be watched with great interest. Able
counsel have been secured, both for the
prosecution and defence, and q number of
our citizens subpoenaed as witness. s.--Stdte

Shall we have a Railroad?

To those who are interested in getting
railroad communication into hilly and
thinly settled portions of the country, we
wish to state few facts which have been
demonstrated by very narrow guage roads
already in use. The pioneer road of this
class was built in Wales and is used for
carrying coal and freight over a mountain
GUS country. The last report of the doings
of that road shows that while an ordinary
guage road requires conveyance of ticO tons
weight to convey one ton of freight, the 2
foot road conveys three tons of freight to
each ton of conveyance, making the cost of
carrying freight less than one-third of what
it is on the wide guage. Besides this, the
cost of making the road was less than one
third of what would have been the expense
of the other style. This is owing to light
and narrow bridges to the narrow bed re-
quired, and consequent reduction in cutting
and embankment, still further reduced by
the greater curves practicable, which allow
the route to conform to the face of the
country over which it passes. OF course the
weight of iron is much less than is required
for heavy engines and cars, and the cost of
the motive power is proportionately re-
duced A roaG with thirty inch track has
been in use sometime near Cleveland, and
SO satisfactory is its working that, roads of
same, and less guage are contemplated in
different portions of the country. One is
now being built from Deanver, Col, to the
Mexican boundary of three feet guage, and
we have no doubt, but that few years
hence, there will be many miles of such
road in successful operation. Having
stated the small cost of this style of road
and the cheap rate at which it ca II be op-
Grated, we ask what is to prevent such a
road being built from here to Duncannon.
The charter of the D. b. and b. n. road,
owing to the criminal negligence Of those
having the matter in charge has been
allowed to expire, but that is no reason
why the county seat should be deprived
of railroad communication. Let a few
charge and see that by the time the Legis-
lature again meets that another charter
shall not only be applied for, but that ar
rangements are made so that the work shall
be pushed on at once.
Since the above was in type we have
been favored with very full report on the
subject of narrow guage roads, by i. N.
Robinson Esq. We return our thanks to
the friend sending the article for his kind
ness.

g5Y- A singular case is now occupying
the attention of the Circuit Court in Ulster
county, N. Y. More than year ago Mig
ger named Levi Bodine killed his employ
er, Daniel Hashbrouk, a rich farmer, and
was duly arrested and lodged in Jail. There
was no reasonable doubts of the facts in
the case, and one would suppose the trial
ought to have been swift and easy. But it
so happened that Levi Bodine is deaf and
dumb. He has never learned the dumb
alphabet. He cannot express himself ex-
cept by rude and arbitrary signs. He can
not understand his counsel. If he should
be tried on the indictment for murder, he
would not have fair opportunity for de-
fense, and the judge avows natural re-
pugnance to hang him unheard. There
was some hope that he might be found in
sane, but, on the contrary, he seems to be
remarkably intelligent. The court made
the ghastly suggestion that he should be
educated especially for the purpose of being
hanged, and his trial postponed to allow
time for the process; but there is no law
iustifying the appropriation of the public
money for such an object, and Levi conse-
quently waits in Jail till the judge and the
district attorney can make up their minds
what to do with him. The man clearly
knows enough to be responsible for his ac-
tions, and the murder was cold-blooded and
prcmeditated If the court cannot make
up its mind to hang him, it ought at least
see that he is shut up where he cannot kill
anybody else for the remainder of his life.

G5Y" A distinguished American artist was
once visited in his studio by little party of
ladies, all strangers to him. At last they
went away, but one of the women soon re-
turned alone. Getting the attention of the
artist, she began in the most confidential
and winning manner: "Mr.--, don't
you think that in some future group you
may introduce the figure of widow p"
"Of course, it is possible, yet not likely.
Why do you ask? ?" "Because have a
picture of myself, taken only month af-
ter my husband died, which has just the
right expression, and I will lend it to you,
if you really think you will ever use it."

Democratic State Convention.

The Democratic convention met in IIar-
risburg on Wednesday last for the purpose
of nominating candidate for Auditor Gen
eral and Surveyor General. The atten-
dance was quite large and the proceedings
were harmonious. The convention was or
ganized by the election of Hon. William
Hopkins of Washington as President, with
thirty three vice Presidents and the same
number of Secretaries. &
The following named gentlemen were
placed in nomination for Auditor General !;
A. d. Markley, of Montgomery county
William NJ Candless, of Philadelphia d.
II. Nieman, of Northampton county; F..
NJ. Crane, of Wayne county; George W..
Skinner, of Franklin county.
On the fourth ballot Gen. M'Candless re-
ceived majority Of votes in the conven-
ton, and was declared elected as the candi-
date of the party for Auditor General of the
State.
Quite large number Of gentlemen We're
nominated as the candidate for Surveyor
General, but on the fourth ballot Capt. j.
II. Cooper of Lawrence was declared the
nominee After the adoption of a long
string of resolutions and the election of
Hon. William Wallace as chairman of the
state executive committee the convention
adjourned sine die. .t OBJ. -

Jury Culture.

The trial of Foster in New York for
the murder of Mr.. Putnam, commenced
last week, and five days were occupied in
getting jury. The great difficulty Of OBJ
tanning a jury who knew nothing about
the case, in these days of cheap newspa-
pers, makes the New York Tribune sug-
gests the following I,g ...t fr.
1t proposes to establish q House of De-
tention, where given number, say hun
dred thousand, respectable and intelligent
citizens could be constantly ON hand, to
be drawn as Jurors! They must be allow
ed no access to newspapers or other current
literature and in order to keep their minds
free and unbiased, and make the place
self-sustaining, they might be assigned to
some useful and entertaining labor such as
polishing marble or fashioning pegs and
leather into boots and shoes. Then, to
guard against mental contamination, they
should be handcuffed while ON their way to
the courtroom, and their eyes and ears Sc
curely bandaged. They could thus be
made to face the judge, the lawyers and
the prisoner without any previous knowl-
edge Of the case or its bearings We shall
certainly have to resort to some such meth
cd of jury culture for the supplying of the
courts, If the existing time-honored system
is to be maintained.

Tndependent Papers,

Within few years past, there has been
n large number of Independent Newspa-
pers'' established throughout the country,
and the most of them have rapidly increas-
ing subscription lists. The complaint
against political papers is, that they pub
lish only such articles as the editors thinl;
will advance the interest of the party they
serve, while tho Independent papers,
do not hesitate TO commend what is right,
or condemn what is wrong in both parties,
and publish facts without stopping to in
quire which part is to be affected by such
publication.
A large majority of the reading communi-
ty have become dissatisfied with the partizan
press, and prefer papers which will record
events as they transpire without giving
them the coloring of party prejudice. This
is no doubt the reason why there is such
rapid increase in the circulation of "In-
dependent papers," and the greater growth
there is in general intelligence, the more
dissatisfied will the public become with
journals devoted to the advancement OF
any particular clique or party. The grum-
bling and growing of the editors Of such
papers may have the desired effect upon
the Office seeking portion of their read
ers, but upon the majority of the COM
munity the effect will only be, to hasten
what they desire to hinder that is, still
further addition to the subscription lists of
the "Independent papers"

A Terrible PestiIence.

The City of Buenos Ayres has for a few
months past been scourged with q terrible
pestilence, some idea of which may be gath
cred from the following extract =
"In some instances husbands have aban-
donod their dying wives, mothers have left
their children to die alone, and in many
cases whole families have been swept away.
AS many as five or six corpses have been
discovered in q single house. A new ceme-
terry has been opened in the campo south of
the city and tram railroad laid to it. The
bodies are carried out on the trucks packed
like freight. There is no time to construct
coffins, and the stock on hand was long
since exhausted. In some instances the
undertakers have fled from the terrible
harvest of business that the pestilence has
caused.
The population of the city, which ten
weeks ago numbered at least 200, 900 souls
is now reduced to 10000. About $50, 900
thousand have fled their homes, some TAX
ing refuge in Montevideo and the towns up
the Parana river, but the larger portion are
in the campo, within a distance of from ten
to fifty miles of Buenos Ayres. The mis-
cradle mud huts of the peasants in the dis
trct have been besieged with tenants from
among the wealth and aristocracy of the
republic, and in some cases are receiving
from $3.50 to $500 per month rent.
Those who remain in the city are mostly
of the poor classes, who have not means to
leave, and the Public Commission, aphilan-
thropic association organized for the emer-
gency is now proposing to send away on
the railroad such as are not yet affected by
the fever.
There is much division of opinion as to
the origin of the fever, but it is pretty well
settled that it was brought in an italian
emigrant ship which arrived from Genoa
and Barcelona in January last. AS to the
cause of the spread and ravages of the dis
ease, any one who has ever been in Buenos
Ayres can readily see. The city is built on
the fat shore of the river, is without any
system of drainage whatever, and for near
ly 200 years the inhabitants have buried all
filth garbage and refuse matter of every
description beneath their houses. This was
done by sinking bell-shaped wells to depth
of fifteen or twenty feet, the sides being
strengthened with rude brick work. These
were reached by small openings at the sur
face several feet in depth, and through
these apertures the filth was deposited in
the cesspools below. When the sinks be-
came full the mouth was filled up, and a
new cesspool was dug elsewhere. This
system prevailed everywhere throughout
the city, and to day Buenos Ayres is honey
combed by these filthy traps.

REPORTS from Paris say that the Govern
ment troops have been successful in obtain
ing possession of the city. The loss of life
was terrible, as all the gates and barricades
were stoutly defended. 1t is estimated
that nearly or quite one third of the city
has been destroyed by fire, and the fires are
still raging. On Friday last an English
government steamer carrying steam fire ap-
paratus and aportion Of the London fire bri-
gade left Dover to assist in extinguishing
the flames 1t is hoped that the strength
of the Communists is now so far broken
that the government will have but little
more trouble with that faction and that
peace will s0OD be established.

CS- There is story going the rounds of
the press that few Sabbaths ago certain
minister of a church in Danville, Kentucky
was SO confused by a distinguished member
of his church repeatedly blowing his nose
so furiously, that he forgot entirely that
portion Of his sermon undelivered, also the
text. The brother couldn't tell, and he be-
came confused brother was ask
ed, and he stated chapter and verse, but
when the Book Of books was opened, that
wasn't the place. This mistake confused
matters generally. The minister in despair
asked that whoever knew the text should
answer it, but the congregation had for
gotten it and was abashed that their mat
tention had become known to their Pastor.
A prayer ended this remarkable meeting
and the congregation did not learn till the
next week, that their preacher was in dead
earnest in his inquiry for the text They
thought he was only trying them to find
out how much they knew of the sermon.
