THE editor of the ClQri0n Dcmocrat,
Hon. II. B. Brown, after copying from the
UarriSjUFg Patriot the statemeat from the
Treasury books showing that William 3.
Mann was paid $50, O67 OS, in 1861 and
1863, for examining the accounts Of foreign
insurance agencies in this State, adds the
following significant addendum
During the session of the Legislature of
1869, the writer of this article, then n mem
Der of the House, offered resolution re-
questing the Auditor General to send in a
statement showing what services VIM. 3.
Mann rendered for this 830, Geo. and give
his itemized bill. The Radical majority y
promptly voted down this resolution 1t
was well understood at the time that it was
bareiaced steal, as any lawyer would have
examined all the books of foreign insur-
ance agents for $500, or less money But
because Mann was a high cockolorum in
the party, and contributed literally to the
election corruption fund, he was shielded
from exposure. 1t is we'll to remember
that at the recent Republican State Con-
vention, VIM. b. Mann nominated Gov
Hartrapft, and made a glowing speech in
his favor. ''Birds of a feather" etc.
1t is also well enough to remember that
Gov llartranft, as the auditing officer of
the State, had to audit and approve this
swindle before Mr.. Mann could get his
money.-P0ttsutUe iStdnddrd.

WHEN President Grant was presented
with the Bibles at the Fairpoint Sunday
School Assembly, the reporter informs us
that he ''roSe, received the Bibles, bowed,
smiled and sat down. AS an illustration
OF the matcbless eIoquence of silence, this
deserves to be regarded as one of the finest
efforts of the Presidents career. Other
men might have been affected to tears and
told of their early perusal of the good book
while seated on their mothers knee Of
the comfort it had been TO them in the
midst OF temptation of how it once saved
their life on the battle field when Iandom
bali pierced its covers as it reposed in their
breast pocket; and finally Of the great
consolation it afforded in their declining
years and when politics seemed to be going
to the dogs. But none of these things,
although we presume they would lave
been true and appropriate, did his Excel
lency choose to say, and hereafter at Bible
presentations the recipient will be saved
much embarrassment by following his Illus
trious example and simply rising, receiving
the Bibles, bowing, smiling and sitting
down. Phild. Times.

SUNKEN FUND.-The official state
ment of where the State money belonging
to the Sinking Fund is deposited is an in
teresting document. Twenty three public
and private banking houses hold over six
hundred and eighty-four Thousand dollars
of this Sinking Fund. They are named
by the State Treasurer, but that gentleman
neglects to inform the people that more
than eleven thousand dollars is no longer a
sinking fund but a sunken fund. That is
to say, Mr.. Mackey's report to the Com

THE only living daughter of Daniel o.
COnuell, Mrs. FitZsimnon, the widow of
Christopher Fitzsimmou, OF Glencullen,
aged eighty four years, was present in the
galleries during the late O'ConneIl dinaer
in Dublin. She received the most fiatter-
ing marks Of attention from the brilliant
audience present OH that occasion.
The above paragraph, which is cir
culating quite extensively through the
papers, contains a palpable blunder.
If Mrs. Fitzsimmon is eighty-four

O'Connell was born in l7T5, and was
therefore in 1871 only sirfeeH years old.

OLD THINGs BECOME NEw.-Baltimore
like Philadelphia in days Of yore, is about
to be visited by boats on wheels. which
bring to mind the days Of the Old Portage
and Columbia railroads, when section boats
were common on some of The streets of this
city. This system of transportation, which
originated with and was first put into sue
cessful operation by John Dougherty, of
Hollidaysburg, now Of Mount Union, is
about to be introduced i'll Maryland. Tho
bitumnous coal Of the Cumberland region,
heretofore transported on canal boats
through the Chesapeake and Ohio canal to
Georgetown and Alexandria, thence re-
shipped on schooners down the Potomac,
and round through the bays to Baltimore,
will now be transported in section boats,
taken out Of the canal ut Wiliiamsport,
Mary land, and carried on railroad trucks
to Baltimore. by which method of trans
portation there will be n great saving of
distance, time, and rates of freights. The
arrival of the first section boat III Baltimore
should be made memorable by public dem
monstration, to which our Maryland friends
should invite the author of the section
boat system of transportation, who is ia
miliarly known as 'Agitator" John Dough

THE following is one of the innu-
merable dark ways by which the hard
earned taxes of the people of large
city are literally stolen from their
treasury. VIM J. Murtagh, editor Of
the National Repu5lican (Washington)
last June published an advertisements of
the tax sales of that city, for which he
was paid ffty Thousand dollars by the
District Commissioners. One would
suppose that this steal would have
satisfied even Murtagh. But it did
not, and he has now brought suit
against the Commissioners to recover
Il small balance or foTtV-Se6en HOusand
dollars. which he claims to be due him
for the same work We would not be
surprised if he gets it, thus making
S97 900 for publishing the tax sales of
Washington city alone. If this is not
robbery, unhlushing and Wholesale,
We know not by what other name it
deserves to be designated

A SAGACIoUs HEN.-Mr. Stirling, the
sexton of Calvary Church, is the possessor
of a remarkable hen, and relates the fol
lowing incident in the life of that sagaci-
Gus fowl She brought out brood of
chickens the other day, which event created
considerable excitement and festivity in a
colony of rats, which at once commenced a
system of plupder, contentiug themselves
with chick and a half for dinner daily
The hen stood this massacre of innoceuts
for day or two, but yesterday morning,
as a sleek rat, grown insOlent from living
high on the toothsome chicks, skuilzed
along in the neighborhood of chicken
which was trifling carelcssly with crust
of bread, the wrath of the mother was
aroused. She flew at the rat, pounced on
him, caught him by the back and, carrying
the robber to tub full of water, dropped
him into it with a revengefu .'cluch -
The rat was drowned aud the brood has
since been free from the raids of the sur
vivins rodents.-San Francisco Post.

and six children escaped with one broken
arm and some severe bruises. All the fur
niture and clothing was blown away, not a
single article being left. Everything was
entirely destroyed and but few things from
the house have been found. Ofsevcn feath-
er beds but one was found, and it was for
ty rods from the house. One door was
found full mile away, and some light ar
ticles were found two miles from the house.
An orchard near the house Was entirely
destroyed, every tree being blown down,
and two of them were carried about forty
rods away. Some idea of the force of tho

was partially imbedded, and moved about

DAsTARDLY ASSAULT ON A WoMAN-A
well known wealthy married man of Phjla-
delphia, named John L. Hates, was before
a magistrate on Tuesday, charged with a
flendsh assault on Miss Pemberton 1t
appears that Hates seduced her when she
was about Fifteen years old, and she claims
that he has held her in semi~slaverv ever
since. Recently she attended picnic with~
out his permission, and when she returned
he charged her with infidelity, Knocked
her down, beat her in brutal manner, and
then tore all her clothes off her person, aud
after pouring burning fluid over her set
fire to her aud endeavered to burn her
alive. The interference of some of the
people in the house prevented the consum-
nation of his design. On Friday evening
last he whipped her in a brutal manner
and swore that he would disfigure her SO
that she would never be able to 90 out.
Great efforts have been made 10y interested
parties to keep the details of the affair from
the public. Hates was held in So, 200 bail
for his appearance aJ court.
