Mr. Temple, the incoming Auditor Gen
erdl of this Commonwealth, has selected
Mr.. William J. Jackulan, of the Democrat
and Register of this place, as one OF his
clerks. Or Course We regret that the Dem

SUNDAY night, the 9TH pending the furious
snow storm which visited a large portion of
the country, flashes of lightning Illuminated
the heavens at NitfiintOwn. Pa. Snow and
lightning Is certainly strange phenomenon
ii one ana the same time.--9i coma Tribune
The bright flashes that the Tribune
talks about cane from the smoke-stack
1t locomotive and not from the skies.
No matter, though 1t is no worse than
Don Quixote tiIting at windmill, or
u man holding to awning post and de-
claring that the town is whirling round.
We last week gave the particulars of
the fatal burning of the children of Mr..
ID. B. Mellott, and then attributed the
affair to accident. But 1t seems that
there were circumstances connected
with the occurrence which excited sus-
picion in the minds of the ueighbors
that all was not right, and the parents
had perhaps contributed to the sad end
of their unfortunate children. Those
VITO best knew all the facts of the affair
found these suspicious so strong that
they believed it to be their duty to
make information against the parents.
This they accordingly did, and they
we're arrested on Monday last and
lodged in Jail. Whether this charge
has any foundation in fact, it is impossi-
bIe to say but if it has. it is of q na-
ture almost too horrible to contemplate.
