Did the Democratic members OF the last
Legislature, who voted for the resolutions in
structing our Senators in Congress to oppose the
passage OF the " Civil Rights" bill, urge upon
that body the Importance and necessity Of
adopting such resolutionsY And were they APP
prehensve that unless our Senators were 80 in
structed they might vote for the bill in question
These seem to be pertinent questions, in order
to show whether the resolutions were passed fol
a practical purpose or for mere political bnn-
combe and smart partisan ehaff.

FULL HOUSE, AND A FINE LECTURE.

FULL HOUSE, AND FINE LECTURE.
Cough filed the Opera House, last evening,
frat with people in all the seats down stairs
and many above, then with alterations of laugh
ter, eloquence aud pathos. His subject, "Man
and His Masters" he explained was the first OF
a series of four temperance lectures which he
had prepared, but as he found he could moi
deliver them all in one place he tried to. blend
two or three into one. This he did, last night
speaking about an hour and half. His argu-
lnent was an able effort in behalf Of total abst
nence, plain and simple in its presentation ant
understanding, and yet forcible, logical ant
clear. He employed his usual comparisons ant
anecdotes to strengthen and explain his posi-
tons, some of them provoking much laughter
and all awakened feelings in sympathy will

Tho friends of Little Nell need no reminder OF
her appearance, this evening, at the Opera

her coming in their minds since the first an

imported from Paris at heavy cost. The title
OF the play she will present is, :" No Name, and

her in this last speciality. Her admirers will
probably have greater cause for admiration, af-

SOMETHING FROM THE ''NATIoNAL REPUBLICAN"
CONCERNING IT-INDIcATIoNe THAT THE PREsI-
DENT DESIRES NO SUCH THING.
WASHINGTON, Oct. %.
The National Republican, which has been adj
vocating third term, says to-day
"The Presidency, during another term, would
have few attractions for General Grant it would
confer on hum no further or higher honor.
There is no reason, therefore, to suppose he de-
sires it. On the contrary, his natural tastes and
inclinations are known to be in direction of do
mestic quietude. These facts would make him
appear ridiculous should he come out with a
pronunciamento declining nomination in ad-
vance of it's tender"

The HEATING h KARrHAus RAIL-
noAp,--It is with pleasure that woIay before our
readers this week, detailed report Of this con-
tcmplatcd railway, which Is to pierce the lower
end Of this county for the purpose Of developing
It's resources. The millions Of buried wealth In
Karthaus township, amply SGT forth in this report,
must bc indeed gratifying to tho citizens Of tina
portion Of our county. 1t will be noticed that the
engineers predict just what we have often stated in
these columns-that tho Moshannon Valley, ria
karthaus, would yet be madc tho great outlet for
tho mineral deposits Of that section. Heavy
freight, such as coal, iron and lumber, cannot bc
proftably hauled over n grade from pinty to one
hundred and twcnty feet 10 the milcj hence, COM
mon sense and commercial enterprise will seek
other avenues for tho transportation Of these COM
moditcs. The actual loss to shippers and rail-
road owners In ten years, over such grades MS are
encountered on the Tyrone road, win build a road
from Philpsburg to Snnomahoning.

SAD AccIDENT.-On Friday last a
little four-year old son of Mr.. Forsyth, at the
Snow Shoe mines, was burnt to death, under the
following circumstances A neighboring lady had
gone to Snow Shoe on some business, leaving her
house in charge Of little girl, with whom Mr..
Forsyth's boy was in the habit Of playing. To-
wards evening the little girl attempted to make a
fire in the stove, as many older people foolishy
do, by pouring coal oil on the fuel. The can,
coming in contact with the flame, exploded, and
Mrs. Forsyth hearing the screams of the children
ran in to find her son enyelopcd in flames. With
wonderful presence of mind she threw herself up
on the child and smothered the fire with her own
clothing, but the injuries he had already received
were too much for the little fellow and after suf-
fering intensely for few hours he died.-Beiie-
