The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1877-07-20

The roll of the new House of Representa-
tives as completed by the clerk, gives the
Democrats majority of eighteen, and not
eight as erroniously reported, with seven
contested seats. Four of these are in Cali
fornia, and the questions involved are being
adjudicated in the courts of that State. In
Colorado there was a dispute as to the time
of holding the election. The Republican,
who holds the Governors certificate, was
elected on the day which the Democrat
claimed was not the day, according to law.
The Democrats afterward voted for their
candidate, the Republicans running no one.
The other contestants are from Florida,
Louisiana and Missouri.

Volcanic ERUPTION.

At ten o'clock on the morning of the 26th
ult. frightful noise was heard at Latacun-
ga. Ecuador, which was followed immediate
ly by tremen dOus flood, which taking the
course of the rivers Cutachi, San Felipe and
Yanayaco and passing washed the city to
the chapel Elsalto. The volame of mud
and water was so great as to completely CO.
yer the Hacienda valley, including the dis
tillery in front of Latacunga. The flood in
its course carried with it many cattle, and
what is more sad, many bodies. The bridge
of Latacunga, the handsome bridge of Boil
var in Pansalasco, those of wood of Culapa'
chen and Palate, and that of masonry Of
Agoyan were all destroyed. All of the
Haiccendas situated on both sides of the
river have suffered enormously and the des'
olation is terrible and complete.

Sunday Funerals,

At a recent meeting of the ministerial
association of Sunbury, the clergy of the
place unanimously disapproved of Sunday
funerals, for the reasons that they interfere
with the regular services of the Sanctuary
they impose additional labor upon the ofici-
ating minister, who is already sufficiently
taxed on that day; they often interfere with
the Sunday School, and they are apt to lead
to Sabbath desecration.
They therefore, in resolution, express
their disapproval of holding funerals on the
Lords day, and kindly, but earnestly, urge
the citizens of this community not to APP
point funerals on said day, if it can possibly
be avoided

If President Hayes cares anything about
the popularity Of his Administration, the soon
er.he gets rid of Secretary Sherman the better
Sherman is not a favorite even with his own
party In truth, he is not iavorite with
anybody. and many people have been led to
wonder why a man so little liked generally
should have been chosen to one of the most
important positions in the Government, and
one which gives him ability to do more harm
to his party than any other.-Phitadelphia

The ambitious gentleman who runs the post
Office at Blossburg; Tioga county, was anxious
to contend for the nomination for County
Treasurer, and wrote to the Post Office De-
