A IoHous Meeting.

Among the passengers who arrived here
BY the Louisville and Nashville train, al
T.35 yesterday morning, was a German wO-
man and her four little children, the old
est not being more than lime, and the
youngest about two years Of age. The
mother and her children seemed in good
health, although somewhat fatigued by
long travel and the hardships incident to a
trip from Germany to this country. They
were comfortably but somewhat quantity
attired. At the depot they were met by
the husband and father, who had preceded
them to America and located in this CITY,
And such meeting! There was a world
of tender love and deep devotion in the
wild embraces of the husband and wife,
and in the joyous utterances of the little
boys and girls. Their words were not en-
tirely Ineligible To those who witnessed
{ e scene, but all knew they were words
meaning gladness, realized hope, an attach
ment that could not be weakened by absence
or hard fortune. May they find long contin-
ued happiness and prosperity in the new
home of their choice.

POWDER and Lead Wen1onIy wasted.

A lively shooting affray occurred, a day
or two ago, in the usually quiet little town
of Huntingdon, Carroll county. 1t is said
that two men named Vicsers and Church
well, who live in the country, a short dis
lance from the place, came into town, and
after drinking heavily during the day, be-
came very diSorderly in their conduct to-
wards night. William MeCrOcken, acting
city marshal in the absence of that official
assisted by w. Crockett and J. w. Harri-
son, attempted to arrest Vickers and
Churchwell, who were at the time at the
southern end of the town, on what is known
as the Lexington L zee. Vickers aud
Churchwell commenced shooting at the
officers of the law, who vigorously returned
the fire. rs the pistol practice on both
sides was execrable, nobody was hurt, and
the offenders succeeded in making theiI
escape.

THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL
Since the return of Senator Ed
wards this bill has been reported
from the Judiciary Committee, t.
which it was referred before the
death of Senator Sumner. 1t is very
likely that Congress may be in a
mood to pass this bill either modi-
fed or as it is now presented. Its
provisions have been carefully re-
yised and guarded by all the possi-
Bile expedients of legislation. Ii
is, however, doubtful if anything can
be done to reconcile the Southern,
communities, especially to the meas
ure of the mixed schools, which is
made by many so vital point in the
framing of the law. That a strong
prejudice still fingers in many locali-
ties against the full civil privileges
of the eolored people render it diff
cult matter of legislation, and it is
likely that time and the favoring
circumstances Of the future will he
required to bring about more per-
feet accord between the two rates.
Law may do much toward the edu.
cation of the public sentiment, hul

few weeks since. The House have
fixed day to consider the measure

people of the State of Pennsylvania,

What shall be done with the dead!
Our larger cemeteries are full. A
portion OF them is parceled out and
sold to parties perpetune, but for
those who are unable to pay the
price the limit is five years and al
though the dead may be left little
longer, they are soon driven out,
the ground is overturned, and room
is made for Others. The bones of
all the poor who died ten years ago
now lie in one common heap, and
once more the cemeteries are filled.
But the soil refuses to do its work
any longer. 1t has become satura-
ted, and will no longer absorb. The
graves are now dug in a mass of
putrefaction, and exhaltations are
constantly rising to poison the liv-
ing. Only a thin layer of earth sep
arates the graves, and few days
ago a young and beautiful girl, the
idol of her home, was lowered into
the grave which filed the minds of
every assistant with horror. A
stream of liquifed putrid matter was
running in from the grave beside it.
Two gave diggers recently struck
too near when opening a grave,
broke open coffin, and died within

halations. Great precautions have
