The passage by the Pennsylvania House OF

As affirmative votes, 30 were cast by Democrats; !;
and out Of the ~ negatives, SO were by Republic
cans. The Reading Eagle thinks it is evident a
reorganization of the Democratic party is ne
cessary, and the Pottsville Transcript is obliged
to admit, "disgraceful and degrading as the fact
may appear" that tho Democratic party Of Penn
sylvania, though its representatives, is "respon-

publican contemporaries in Pennsylvania just to
stick pin through that admission.

THE DELUGE.
The Beautiful River Retires
Slowly.

The river fell but two feet during the
entire day yesterday. At dark last
night the marks at the wharf indicated
81 feet in the channel. Various rea-
sons are assigned as to the probable
cause of the slowly receding water.
Some think that the Ohio is still fed by
a large body of water, while others as
sert that it is due to the numerous
small streams which empty into the
river.
Be that as it may, the water is in nc
hurry to leave, and hundreds of fami.
lies are suffering therefor. 1t is impos.
|sible to ascertain the amount of damage
done until the river retires to its Gus.

MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING
In the Vicinity of bridgeport,

On Monday evening, Dec. !, two
young men named Jacob Hanke and
Christ Waller, of Wheeling, came over
to Bridgeport, with the intention ofre-
manning there over night, so as to
make an early start on Tuesday morn
ing for a hunting expedition. Waller
had double barrelled shot gun and
Hanke had a pistol. During the even
ing both men drank freely after they
arrived in Bridgeport. Some time dur
ing the night, and when supposed to be
in the vicinity of the toll house at the
west end of the wooden bridge, Waller
demanded the pistol of Hahke, who
upon handing it to the former, inquir-
ed what he wanted with it. Waller
took the weapon, saying, ''this is what
I want it for" at the same time firing,
the ball taking effect in Hanke's breast.
The wounded man from some un-
known cause refused to divulge any
thing in regard to the mysterious al
fair until it was evident to him that he
could not survive, when he related
substantially the above facts to his
wife. At 81 o'clock on Monday eve
ming he died.
An inquest and post m0rtem exam
ination was held on Tuesday afternoon
at the residence of the deceased, in
Wheeling. The testimony of Waller
was taken, but he denied having done
the deed. He said that Hanke left
him on the night referred to, and start.
ed back to Wheeling alone, and that
was the last he saw of him until after
he was shot.
The coroners jury returned verdict,
that "Jacob Hanke came to his death
from the effects of wound made upon
his person, on Monday, December 1sts
1873, between the hours of 6 P. NJ, OF
said 1st day of December, and 8 A. NJ,
of December I'd, 1873, by q pistol OF
gun, supposed to be in the hands OF
Christian Waller, at, or near Bridge
port. Belmont County, Ohio.
Waller, who is about eighteen OF
twenty years old, is now in Jail at
Wheeling, awaiting preliminary ,ex'
animation; he will no d0gist be fNrned

some tools behind. Tho residence OF

POSTPONEMENT.
FOURTH GIFT CONCERT
OF Public Library of Kentucky.
AcARDro THEPUBLIC.

The Trustees of the Public Library
of Kentucky and the management OF
the Gift Concert, announce the post
ponement of the Fourth Gift Concert,

The public will readily understand
the causes which have made this post
pOnement necessary.
The financial panic, which has for the
last two months paralyZed the business
of every section of this country and Of
Europe, has prevented thousands from
Investing in tickets. The epidemies
pervading almost the entire South,
have cut off a large and available mark
ct. And, too, the public, judging from
the effects of these causes, have expect
ed postpOnement and have declined
to invest without more positive as
surance o: the drawing taking place on
a fixed day.
All interested desire full drawing;
but, for the reasons just stated, this
could not be had on the Sd of Deem
Der, but the short postponement now
announced will secure it.
The management have met with I'M
preccnted success. The sales of tickets,
the proceeds of which have already
been received, amount to OVER A MIL
LION DOLLARS, with a number of agen-
cies ,in this country yet to hear from
and all those in Europe.
Thus drawing (scaling the gifts one
halD could be had pow, but the man.
agement deem it best to have post
popement and fill drawiag.
This postponement assures The solf
of all the tickets and A FULL DRAWING.
That this determination will meet
with the appreciation of nearly every
one interested is made apparent by the
very numerous letters received from
every section of this country and the
Canadas asking for postpOnement.
This section of the management will
work no detriment to any, but will be
for the good of all. By it the fortunate
ticket-hoIders will receive their gifts ia
