A FIFTEEN CENT INvEsTMENT,-The
Pittsburg LeddeT relates the following /;
"Marshall Swartzwelder, Esq, the
well.known attorney Of this city, as
has already been noticed in the papers,
returned home few days ago from n
trip TO Great Britain and the continent
of Europe While in London he con.
cluded to take a pleasure jaunt down
the Thames, and an excursion being
advertised TO leave on the steamer
Lady Alice, he purchased a ticket tor
that boat. On going to the dock he
found that the Lady Alice would not
leave for an hour. Another boat was
Just about leaving, however, on the
same trip, and as the fare was but fif
teen cents be concluded to buy another
ticket and go on that boat rather than
wait for the Lady Alice. 1t was the
luckiest thing that Swartzwelder ever
did. The Lady Alice departed an hour
later, and it was her fatal trip, The
story of how the schooner Bywell Cas-
tie ran into the Lady Alice and sunk
her inside of five minutes, sending sew
en- hundred persons to a watery grave,
is known TO the world, Few-but
very few, indeed-oi tho people that
were on board that ill.fated steamer
were saved, and had Mr.. Swartzwelder
waited around the dock that hour and
taken the Alice he would scarcely have
been in Pittsburg to-day to tell the
story OF bis narrow escape, 1t was the
best fifteen cents that Swartzwelder
ever invested

THE NOMINATION OF GOV.
CURTIN FOR CONGRESS-.

The Democratic Congressional con-
ference Of the twentieth district, com.
posed OF the counties Of Contre, Clear
field, Clinton, Union, Miffiin and Elk,
met on Thursday, the 26th ultimo.,
and nominated Andrew g. Curtin for
Congress. The district islargely DEM
ocratic, and the election of the "War
Governor" by large majority, may
be regarded as reasonably certain
In speaking of this nomiDation, the
Philadelphia Times says;
"1here is special significance in the
nomination of Governor Curtin by the
Democrats in one of their strongest
districts. Had they chosen him in q
doubtful district to do for them what
they couldn't do for themselves, il
would have no more meaning than the
usual expedincts of minority parties tc
win battles against odds ! but when
party majority of four or five Thousand
is rendered to him with nomination
it Is notice that liberal progress has en-
trenched itself in the Democratic camp
and that tho Democrats propose tc
make common cause with all who have
common desire TO retrieve the state and
county from the political aemoraliza
tion that deiorms authority on every
side. Governor Curtin stands the con
fessed leader of the Republican senti
ment that hes been driven to revolt by
a rule in the party that is as oorrup
as it is despotic, and his name on th'
Dill ticket, in Dill's district, and his nc
tive participation in the contest as th'
living evidence Of the policy Of victor
ious Democracy. will be one ofthe grav
est obstacles to the success Of the Cam
