No member of the Senate of the United

seIf than SIMON CAMERON succeeded in do
ing, on the day after that body convened.
Eerator FEHToN, Of New York, had rre-
pared some remarks on the death of Hon

to follow him, bat when Dir. FESToN
sought 10 get the floor, CAMERON cut him

Eir. FENToN implored him to withdraw ii.

PRODUCTS FROM THE FAR WEST
from time to time, letters extOlling the
richness Of the soil in the Far West es-
pecially on the line of the Northern Paci-
tic Railroad. and describing the wonderful
growth OF cereals. have been published and
read with avIdity by all who are Interested
III agriculture. The praises rung through
all this correspondence are not exacCera-
tions, but express with fidelity the remark
able fertility and productiveness of those
Western lands. We had the pleasure this
morning of examining specimens of this
years crop of oats and wheat grown in
frickly Pear Valley, Montana Territory,
which was forwarded to Jay Cooke & Co,
financial agents of the Northern Pacific
Railroad. We saw oats that measured
fourteen inches in the head, and yielded
an average Of one hundred and two bush
els to the acre; and wheat, the heads of
which are five inches long and fIom one
aud one-half to one and three-quarters
inches broad, and producing one hundred
bushels to the acre. There was one speci-
men bag of fine winter wheat, grown in
Gallatin county, Montana Territory. that
gave yield of twelve hundred bushels
from thirty bushels sown. The wheat on
the stalk was from five TO six feet in height.
ana these specimens were not selected as
representing the maximum growth, but
are indications of the average production
he cause OF this wonderful fecundity of
the soil is the presence in it of so per cent

of bituminous coal, pure white marble and
sulphur have been developed. The North

farmers one of the richest agricultural sec
tions to be found in the world-N Y

= CARBON COUNTY GHosT STORY.-The
good people Of Carbon county, a couple of
years since, erected a very fine and p very
expensive county prison, at Mauch Chunk,
and not having use for all its numerous
cells, as lodging places for offenders against
/ the law, 1t appears. according to the Car
/ bon Democrat, that a ghostiy tenant has
taken up its abode within its walls. The
story is that ''since the confinement of
Peter FTiel, whose trial and conviction for
the murder of Simon O'Connen came off
at the last term of Court, it is alleged that
there is ghostly form which glides through
the dark and lonely corridors Of the pris-
on At tie hour of midnight. rattIing the
heavy iron bolts of every cell as it passes
by with ITS measured tread. Upon reach
ing the cell of FIiel, which is situated at
the extreme end of the silent corridor, it
pauses for moment, when the bolts and
bars shoot back and the heavy iron door
is heardsto CRATE upon its hinges, and the
weird and unwelcOme guest is heard no
more till the succeeding night.
The prisoners have been nightly awak-
ened from their peaceful slumbers by this
unearthly visitant, who, they aver coutin-
ued his nocJural Tambles at regular inter
walls during the entire period Of FrieFs con-
tinement.
1T seems that Erie! frequently revealed
to his wife during her visits to the prison,
that the spirit of Simon O'Connell nightly
appeared TO him within the walls OF his
narrow cell; and this, told by her to 9th
ers, first gave the story publicity.
Nv hen the strange sounds were first
heard, the prisoners supposed that it was
made by the watchman in his nightly
rounds; but as no such person was en-
ployed lor, indeed, any one admitted tbro'
the grated corridor door after the supper
hour this theory was, of course, impossible
The prisoners, upon becoming aware that
no watchman wss employed, Insisted upon
the outer door of their cells being securely
fastened to screen them from the strange
freaks of this mysterious visitor.
''"e give the facts as we have heard
them related by others, and leave our read
ers to judge for themselves as to what de
gree of credeuce should be placed in them

At Cincinnati, or Monday afternoon,
the scaffolding on the new addition build
ing to the water works feu, carrying down
eight workmen, killing four instantly and
injuring four. Tie scaffolding had been
erected for the purpose of putting up iron
trusses for :he roof of the building, and
gave way under the weight of three iron
trusses, weighing many tons, precipitating
the men to the ground and water beneath.
a distance of about eighty feet. 1t is tho't
that none of the wounded are seriously in
jured.
About sixty years ago, John Griswold
Rogers, OF East Lynne, Conn, fell in love
with Eliza ID. Griswold. and in 1917 the
couple were betrothed and doubtless COM
menced to talk about fixing the wedding
day. There appears, however, to have been
more than the usual difficulty in deciding
the question at least it was not until
! Thanksgiving day that the ceremony took
place, when the bride and groom had
/ reached the ages respectively of 7S and 10
Bcth parties, however, belong to a long
lived race, and look forward to a welded
life of no short duration.
/ probably the heaviest blast on record
was made few days ago by the Richmond,
Virginia, Granite Company. A solid block
of stone, of fine quality and sixty feet in
4 length, fifty feet in depth and forty-six
feet wide. was displaced without fracture
]
cubic feet and weighs II, 800 tons, or 23.-
/ coo, 600 pounds. In 1870 the same com
pany obtained a stone weighing 1S, 0O0 OG0
pounds, which was then considered re-
markable success in blasting. If any body
designs erecting pyramid on the western
plains that company ought to take the

J Last Friday afternoon, while Mrs. c.
! c. Bradbury, Of Sherman, Maine, was at
work up stairs with her little girl, about
/ eighteen months old, who was running
about the room, the child. unObserved,
pushed box which covered ventilation
hole. left through the ceiling over the
kitchen stove, and fell through or to the
stove, which was at that time heated near
/ ly red hot for the purpose of ironing. The
child lay upon the stove until Mrs. Brad

other room and took her off. The child
was fearfuily burned, Jet it is hoped she
. may recover.

WHAT Is AHBAD.-Thc schemes pro
posed by President GRANT in his message
and which may be taken as indicative of
his programme for the next term, are ex-
ceedingly magnificent
He recommends the adoption of the
postal telegraph system at an expenditure
OF from twelve to twenty millions and an
increase of officeholders by some sixty or
eighty thousand persons the building of
ship canal around Niagara Falls at the
expense of fifteen to twenty millions more ;
canals to connect the Mississippi Valley
with the Atlantic at a cost of fifty mil
lions; continuous land-loclled navigation
from Maine to the Gulf of Mexico:'' and
the expenditure of twenty-five millions in
maIl subsidies during the next five years" s"
All these involve Capitalization, corrup-
ton, lobby Legislation, swindles, and a
general bedevilment of everybody in Con-
gress and out.-E Y. Saw.

HoN. SAMUEL NELSON, of New York,
has resigned his seat as one~of The Asso-
ciate.Justices Of the Supreme Court of the
United States. He was appointed by Pres
ident Polk in 1916 and is now SOyears old.
Under an act Of Congress, he retires from
the position he solongiadorned by his legal
learning and ability, on full pay. There
now remains but one member of the Court
who was appointed by Democratic Pres
ident, NATHAN CLIFFORD, of Maine, who
was commissioned by Mr.. BUCHANAN in
1858. The remaining eight Judges are the
appointees of LINCOLN and GRANT. WARD
HUNT, of Utica, has been appointed the
successor of Judge NELSON. He may be
competent for the place, but he is unknown
to judicial fame outside of his own State.
But such a:e the strange and ineomprehen-
slble ways of GRANT when high and rzspon-
sible places of public trust are TO be filed.

4 ROMANCE FROM REAL. LIFE-Charles
Smith, who some weeks since got in with
q freight conductor, rode in the caboose
with him from GAINESVILLE and stole his
watch, has been arrested at Columbus
Ohio, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, and
turns out to be girl named GoIdsborough.
Years ago she was thief in Columbus
Two years after leaving she returned in
boys clothes, got employment in a saloon,
slept with the proprietor for three months
without discovery of sex, then stole his
money and left. Since then she has been
a bar-keeper and driver on the canal, and
when arrested had a love letter with alock
of hair in her pocket, showing that she
had won the affections of an aItless dam
sci in Cleveland, and engaged 70 marry
her. The watch was pawned in Cinciu-
natl in the name of the conductor from
whom it was stolen.

GENERAL AMNESTY is dead for the pre-
sent at least. The bloody chasm still
yawns, and is of such breadth that there
can be no clasping Of hands over it. Mr..
Boutwell's advice has been taken, and
eighty -four Republican members of Con
gress, amongst whom were all the Repub-
iican representative. of Pennsylvania, vo-
ted against it, thereby defeating the two
thirds necessary to the passage Of the bill.
The strife is not yet ended. Butler and
Cameron and Kelley, and others of like
implacable dispositions, still incline to a
spiIis of enmity. They viii neither bury
nor forget past differences land, what is
more to the discTedit of the Republican
party, General Grant sides with the inn

THE President has appointed Jas. L. OFR,
of South Carolina. Minister to st. Peters
burg. Pennsylvania having long enjoyed
almost q monopoly Of this mission, 1t was
not surprising that the chronic vanity Of
JOHN W. GEARY induced him to seek the
coveted position, in order that lie might
exhibit in proprig persona his "bul!et rid
died. body to the Emperor of all the Rus
sias. Intensely loyal as he is and has been,
he has been rudely thrust aside and the
honor conferred on one of the most con
spicuousrcbels of the South. Is this what
GRANT calls backing his friends? What
will be done for GEARY after he retires to
the peaceful shades Of New Cumberland ?
If this government maintained an envoy
Mt Crete, and if the present inhabitants of
that island inherit the well-known intfrmi-
~ of their ancestors, that, above all other
places in the wide world, would be the one
to which GRANT ought to accredit the hero
tor whom STONEwALT. JACKSON entertain
ed such constant and overpowering dread.
There would be 2 sublime fitness of things
diplomatic IN such an appointment

Fire.

The dining hall. kitchen, smokc-housc and
wash.house, on the premises of VIM. NJ. Sc
horn, Athens. were destroyed by fire last Fri.
day night. The dwelling house, separated by
Il few feet from the burning buildings. was
saved by extraordinary exertions. The fire
was accidental, and originated in the smoke
house. Eight hundred dollars will probably
cover the loss. No insurance. This is the first
fire that has occurred here for several years,
and should admOnish our citizens to make pre-
paration to meet similar accidents. Though
most of those present on Friday night, white
and black, labored hard and unremittngly to
arrest the progress of the flames. it was pretty
evident that one half the eXertion under pro.
per organization would have proved more elli-
cient. We would. also, suggest to property
holders who have not taken out insurance pol,
icies to do so in some one of the solvent CON-
panies represented here.
